/f/ - Fandom Generals

>>199
i don't even know who the first guy (from the left side) is. also where's takemichi and yuji? aren't tokyo revengers and jjk selling pretty well/pretty popular?

>>200
that's asta from black clover. tokyo revengers isn't on the image because it's not a shounen jump series, jujutsu kaisen isn't on it because i dunno.

either way, this image is a representation of the 'shounen' big four, not the 'bl' big four. and which series actually qualify for that is something of contention, depending on what time period you're looking at and what your criteria is. bleach is usually considered one of the 'big three,' and no one can agree on the new generation.

>the 'bl' big four
>depending on what…your criteriais
i would argue pairings like kawoshin that influence later bl dynamics are 'big four' material. so i will say:
serge/gilbert
kawoshin
griffith x guts
narusasu

boring anime and the designs are ugly
probably why fujo culture is dying

>>199
Is Black Clover really that popular? I rarely see people talk about it aside from young kids on youtube that are new to anime.

>>2234
It used to be pretty up there, but it never got quite as popular as other stuff and has since died down, as far as I know.
Fujobait wise it never got off the ground much.

>>199
Cannot get into them to be honest. I liked OP for the worldbuilding and characters and DBZ for the hot dudes and fights but the new shows aren't doing it for me. I respect Kimetsu but it doesn't work for me and it stars some of the most annoying main characters I have ever seen.
Couldn't even finish the first episodes of most other series, for various reasons. The fire dude from HeroAca and that Toji guy from JJK could be interesting (and I also think they're hot), but I am not willing to read/watch a whole series for a single antagonist that appears for like an arc. I really, really don't like shounen with kid MCs, I am just not interested in them. Granted, JJK has adults so that's an upside at least.

With the drought of fujobait series compared to the old days, I fear we are in a fujobait dark age. Fujos are resilient so we will always continue shipping our boys through grit and sheer autistic willpower, but I swear the mid 2000s to mid 2010s were the halcyon age of being a fujo. Isekaishit and other male gaze derivative drivel hadn't monopolized the mainstream yet, and fujos had a cournocopia of shonen with cute, shippable boys to play with (eg YYH, Naruto, Bleach Yugioh, Katekyo Hitman Reborn, Prince of Tennis, etc). Moreover fujo-friendly shounenshit had cultural staying power which meant invested fans. Maybe it was a consequence of being expected to slog through over 9000 episodes back in the day, and maybe the fandom turnover cycle has accelerated since a decade ago, but newer series like KnY, JJK and Chainsaw Man feel like they have a shorter shelf life. JJK's end is looming on the horizon, but I will be sad to see it fade away since it's one of the series that's most consistently delivered.

No, when the anime first aired it was roasted to hell and back for having a by-the-numbers shonen plot (basically magic Naruto/One Piece) and an MC with an obnoxious voice. Even though the MC and his childhood friend were basically copy&paste SNS, I could never find much fic or art or doujin. The lack of fan enthusiasm coupled with the fact the female characters were half decent (by battle shonen standards) meant the fujobait well was dry from the start.

>What do you fujo sisters think about the new generation big four?
i can only recognize three
>Previously, it used to be Goku, Naruto, Luffy and Natsu.
i can only recall three
>Love them or hate them, what are your opinions regarding them and their impact on the BL scene?
shit fell from grace p hard
at least the 3 i remember were ok
ik for a fact that the 3 new ones i recognized are just a bunch of whiny faggots
id much prefer they were hyperspergy or angsty rather than literal babies

SA as >>2237 but also wanted to comment
>it used to be Goku, Naruto, Luffy and Natsu
in the big picture, only 1 out of 4 of those are relevant to fujo history. Afaik DBZ isn't popular with fujos; it's enjoyed mainly by dudebros who enjoy mainstream anime. One Piece is also normie anime fan fare; the volume of BL fan content probably has more to do with its longevity and popularity, but the recent live action adaptation certainly boosted the level of fujo output. Fairy Tail was dominated by het; pairings like Natsu x Lucy and Gray x Juvia reigned supreme.

That leaves us with Naruto. I wouldn't be exaggerating by saying that SasuNaru / NaruSasu birthed an entire generation of rotten girls (and maybe even a few gay moids). If you were a fledgling weeb in the 2000s, SNS was probably babby's first M/M ship. That's why SNS is up there with the aforementioned Serge/Gilbert, KawoShin and Griffith/Guts as the most iconic and influential BL ships in the history of fujodom.

>I wouldn't be exaggerating by saying that SasuNaru / NaruSasu birthed an entire generation of rotten girls
yea linking park is the official bl soundtrack in my head to this day bc of that

>Previously, it used to be Goku, Naruto, Luffy and Natsu
More like Naruto, Luffy, Ichigo. Goku is a bit older than the others and Fairy Tail was big, but never as big as the others at its prime.

Honestly was never into Naruto at all but I loved One Piece yaoi when I was younger and am still into the early content. Was always jealous of how many translated doujins existed for Naruto compared to other series and ships I liked, especially for Uruyuu/Ichigo. By the way this reminds me here's an old site I used to use for yaoi doujinshi has a ton of Shonen Jump series.

Only one I liked at all was BnHA but I don't have enough interest to keep up with it. EraserMight is a good ship though.
