And the manga fanbase were the ones who generated the hype. 1 million views within an hour on YouTube while also trending on Twitter and garnering thousands of upvotes on Reddit. IN ONE HOUR
The fanbase was already waiting since the trailer release was announced and they started a hype roll that snowballed into the massive reception the anime is getting now.

Like I asked, has another trailer from MAPPA popped up on your feed? Of course not. Because they haven't released anything else with a big fanbase yet. You didn't get the trailer for Dance Dance Danseur and you're not going to have the trailer for the Campfire Cooking Isekai pop up on your feed because none of them are pulling a million views in an hour or 7 million in 11 hours. Dance Dance Danseur's trailer never got up to a million views up till now and the anime itself was well received when it was aired in the Spring season, but still remained underwatched.

Chainsaw Man wasn't as popular as some other manga? NAME THOSE MANGA. Let's see which of them are new.

What was the last new MAPPA anime with big hype? Jujutsu Kaisen. Another title that already had a big manga fanbase.

MAPPA are not the kings of hype. They don't contribute any more hype to a project than any other popular studio.

Mappa trailers have been popping on my feed bro...
No be today ..
Hell's Paradise, Takt OP etc...
I didn't know shii about all these before

MAPPA btw has dropped some of the best anime trailers of recent years...

Chainsaw Man Trailer 1 and 2
AOT trailer
JJK trailer
Idaten Deites trailer was good too

Yes those shows were popular beforehand but their trailers helped with the hype
Mappa are good at marketing, deny it all you want...


Ask most new gen anime fans their fav studio...
80% of them will choose MAPPA

abduleez1:


But why you dey watch am for afternoon.
You dey dilute the EXPERIENCE.

Kaycee7:
That a studio released a trailer on a new anime no be hype. It's basic marketing.
I also didn't know about Eminence in Shadow until I came across the trailer. Does that make Nexus the king of hype?
Different anime studios have their trailers pop up on my feed. Should I also crown all them kings of hype?

Nobody said anime trailers don't help with hype. They're promotional materials afterall. But acting like they're the primary source of the hype? That's just disingenuous.
Who dey deny say MAPPA is good at marketing? It's the "king of hype" exaggeration that's being addressed here. Don't try to strawman.
MAPPA is just as good at marketing as other popular anime studio. There's nothing exceptional about their marketing. They make announcements and release trailers just like every other studio. Nothing out of the ordinary.

itspreshh:
you can as well say Marvel are not specially good at marketing...
It's the fans, every studio can hype just as Marvel nah...

Using your logic

*Edited...okay you didn't deny that Mappa is good at marketing...so no problem

armadeo:


Bros I no fit watch am for night.


Make I no go dey see wetin no dey there.

I binged the entire series and I liked that masson guy grave robber the best. The desperation of that dude is beyond legendary.

Kaycee7:
Marvel leases out Times Square's biggest billboard for their blockbusters, pay for various TV spots on prime time shows, have the lead cast appear on multiple talk shows and sports events.
Are you seeing the difference?

And even with all that still, the fanbase still plays an important role. Cos Marvel aren't the only studio that does all that. It's standard Hollywood marketing for big studios.

LMFAO.... You just can't be using Marvel as an example in this argument.

Marvel have the biggest fanbase of any cinematic universe presently. No one comes close.
MCU has been wildly successful over the years and it's mostly due to its fans and not necessarily has to do with good marketing.
Marvel can make a movie about shitty characters with shitty scripts and ppl will still turn up to watch. Not about marketing.

Eg Despite the shitty trailers and complaints from fans didn't stop ppl from watching She-Hulk and Thor: Love and Thunder.

The fanbase that's why you'd see ppl flock more to Batman content over something like Black Adam that I feel was over marketed. Despite no Batman in Joker, no action, an unusual and unfamiliar story, and critics initially shitting on it, people still flocked theaters in 2019 and it delivered a banger.

itspreshh:
sure...Marvel spends way more...


For the Mappa iish, does CSM have a bigger fanbase than Bleach? Yet it drew as much hype or even more hype than Bleach...
Even the trailers had more views...
Each opening and closing song had more views than a bigger anime...


As popular as CSM is, it had nowhere near the Bleach popularity...
You can't deny MAPPA'S influence

itspreshh:
Another example of MAPPA promotion is Attack on Titan...
As big as AOT is, it didn't reach the levels of popularity it reached until MAPPA took over...


AOT spent 3 seasons from 2013-2019 under Wit studio but never did...but in it's first year under MAPPA, MAPPA did outstanding promotion


It can't be a coincidence honestly
So many non-anime fans began watching it...same way non-anime fans have started on Chainsawm Man

Kaycee7:
Lol! MAPPA picked up a show that was already breaking the internet with the 3rd season and ruling manga charts and you want to credit the success of the 4th season to MAPPA.
Funny how both CSM and AoT both already had massive fanbases behind them before MAPPA picked them up but you want to claim it was "because of MAPPA's marketing".
Maybe next season, you'll also claim Vinland Saga's success will be due to MAPPA's marketing, even though we won't see that same success with Camping Cooking Isekai that will also air that same season.

Show us an actual unpopular title that MAPPA made famous

Kaycee7:
CSM surpassed One Piece, a currently serializing Big 3 manga, in reads on Manga Plus and had 12 million copies in circulation before it even got an anime adaptation. This was in 2020 before TYBW's anime adaptation got announced in 2021. That's how big the fanbase was before the first trailer was even released. Before MAPPA came into the picture, CSM already had a multi-million strong fanbase.
I'm not denying MAPPA 's influence. I'm simply asking you not to exaggerate it.

itspreshh:
MCU no doubt has a huge fanbase...bigger than DCEU but marketing also adds to it...
Look at the marketing of Black Panther, became like an anthem for Blacks around the world...


Now for CSM...
Did CSM have a bigger fanbase than Bleach?
Yet the CSM trailer had far more views...
CSM opening on MAPPA channel has 31m views in 3 weeks...
Bleach opening is struggling with less than 2m views
CSM is one of the most promoted anime in recent time....
Posters everywhere, every channel talking about it...


You can't say it's cos it's a new anime...MAPPA definitely had something to do with it...
There is a reason MAPPA became one of the most popular anime studios recently

ChainsawMan Fanbase was never large enough to carry hype to that level... nowhere near Bleach fanbase...
Most anime fans grew up with Naruto, Bleach and One Piece

itspreshh:
CSM surpassed One Piece where? When?

As far as I know CSM was nowhere near One Piece before the anime announcement

itspreshh:
oga ...
AOT was very very popular before Mappa...but Mappa's marketing made it even more popular than it was...

For ChainsawMan...the I've given you a comparison of the fanbase...
It was not as big as you'd think...
It was nowhere as big as shows like Bleach but look at how big the anime has become now?

You cannot deny MAPPA'S influence

itspreshh:
Another example of MAPPA promotion is Attack on Titan...

Kaycee7:

I don't argue numbers based on what I think but what I know and can prove. Peep the date

You can keep exaggerating MAPPA's influence.

IngeniousLeez:
Cc itspreshh

IngeniousLeez:


Lol, Attack on Titan has been very big over the years. It just doubled on its popularity as the show grows and adds more fans.

You're shouting MAPPA MAPPA but you're only dropping data of AOT under MAPPA. Can we see previous data of AOT under studio Wit?
Also, I hardly take data from Parrot Analytics seriously these days. It's metric of rating is somewhat shady and not so reliable. It's largely inconsistent across various programs.

All shows grow by popularity as the seasons progressed. Abi you think say Game of Thrones na one year e take build that hype. Even The Boys that burst the charts everywhere earlier this year, I can categorically tell you that we that watched it in its first season was way fewer than number of people watching and hyping it now.

What I saw with AOT huge blast in popularity earlier this year is because it became readily accessible for viewers everywhere. It was on Hulu, Disney+, Funimation, Crunchyroll everywhere. It's distribution improved.

itspreshh:
this was a periodic iish...
That was it's peak...
I'm pretty sure it's not the only new gen to surpass One Piece at a point...
But One Piece has remained consistent at the top


I'm not saying CSM wasn't popular...
I'm pointing out that it wasn't as popular as mangas like Bleach, Demon Slayer and many top animanga or light novels like Fate...
Even JJK too was popular but you can't compare it's popularity to some of those...

itspreshh:
I said the same thing...
AOT has been big over the years...

But the S4 hype grew even far higher than it ever reached....
Part of it was it's marketing... especially being marketed as the final season...


For The Boys S3, you can definitely tell how much marketing they did for it...
The show was popular for the first 2 seasons but the hype for S3 was crazy...everyone was jumping on it...

They launched social media campaigns and official accounts promoting it everyday, if you follow The Boys content on social media, you'll be amazed by the amount of marketing S3 had...

I made a comment on The Boys marketing sometime ago on this thread sef

itspreshh:
No one is saying the shows aren't popular before MAPPA took them up...
MAPPA are known sef for taking up popular shows...

My point is they do a lot of marketing, even more than most other anime studios...
That's why they're pretty popular nowadays...

Most anime fans would list Mappa as their fav studio...they're always in the news

Kaycee7:
Name one thing MAPPA does in their marketing that other studios don't do?

Itspreshh is Baddestguyp abi?
Good luck trying to get him to agree with you.
