Blackdragon6 wrote:My pointing out their popularity wasn't my main point. It was to support the fact that it has been growing rather than falling as a Manga. Google Manga and the first thing that pops up is
http://www.onemanga.com/ with the top 3 Viewed as Naruto/Bleach/OP in that Order.
I understood his analogy, but in turn it doesn't make sense in the fact that Britney Spears has great musical talent, but as a person she isn't very popular and constantly looked down on as well as shamed for her lifestyle. You can't really compare the popularity of a Japanese manga to that of a person unless it's as a whole and not a partial. There's a reason she's called a guilty pleasure.
Again you missed the point. It doesn't matter if Britney Spears has great musical talent. Look at the other two artists Xemn mentioned. They both have musical talent. The point is, you can not conclude any artistic credibility based on popularity. I could say that "the Beatles had exceptional musical talent because they were popular", and it still wouldn't be a sound and valid argument because of the the simple fact that musical talent =/= popularity. The right argument would be to list their lyrical style, originality, critical achievement, etc.
The same applies in a wide array of credits especially in the entertainment industry - music, films, anime, manga, etc. Recall that Xemn even mentioned the summer hit Transformers. It's popular but it doesn't deserve shit for its writing, production, direction...
And how else would you mean by "growing" other than becoming popular? You even used Google which ranks its search results on popularity. On top of that, you even specifically said that the "top viewed as Naruto/Bleach/OP". What else does "top viewed" mean other than popularity. Onemanga itself ranks its mangas based on popularity.
Enter ratings. Look at the top rated mangas on My Anime List and Anime News Network. They separate popularity from rating. No way in hell Naruto or Bleach can even make it on the top 50. The #1 highest rated on My Anime List is Berserk, which is, on the same site, the 17th most popular. Monster takes the #1 rank on Anime News Network as the highest rated but is the 14th most popular.
Just because it's popular, doesn't mean it's good.

Re: Bleach
I never said popularity meant it was good. But it definitely tells you something. It being the most viewed manga in these recent months and on Wide known Manga sites.. I'm pretty sure that counts towards showing how good people truly think it is. Plus you can't compare the popularity of one thing to the popularity of something of a completely different category.
My Main Point that you guys missed was this.
Bleach is popular for a reason. You don't become popular for sucking. bleh

Re: Bleach
I see what Blackdragoon means. The argument can go the other way around, if something is popular/mainstream it dosn't mean it sucks.
Anyways thank for the Naruto 485,I always though onemanga had the latest chapter,guess I was wrong =D
@Naruto : Chidori vs Rasengan scene all over again =)

Yes but something tells me the outcome will be different this time.
And I've noticed that Exile has been getting them before onemanga the last couple weeks =\

The category is arts entertainment. Where have you been all this time?

You can be popular and still suck. (Welcome to mainstream media.) You can also be popular and be good. So, then what does popularity say about sucking and being good? Simple: Nothing.

I'm sorry. I can't believe I was so naive to miss the resemblance. Anyone else here mistake Bleach for a musical entertainment? ...
Art itself is a very bland category and very expansive.
Musical Art/Video Art/CG Art/Photography Art/Sketching or Drawing Art/Sculpting Art
And I'm sure a ton of others. How is a PB & J similar to a Salad... It's Food.
This is all based on Opinion, and the greater majority thinks Bleach is a good manga /discussion

The broad category was taken from your appeal on popularity, which is broad and as I just pointed out, meaningless. If you based Bleach's "goodness" on say, it's writing, originality, etc., then the bland and expansive category of arts entertainment would be easily reduced to creative writing.

Blackdragon just be quiet. Both Xemn's and Prophet's arguments are sound while you keep contradicting yourself.
But on a different note, you can't help but feel sorry for WW.

agreed...how can you feel sorry for a character that has 0 personality on purpose. If he wasn't going around sticking his hands through peoples chest i guess he'd be kind of like an obedient dog and i might have a d'aww moment...but he is sticking his hands through peoples chest, that much power with such low cognitive abilities...he should be put down asap and i can't say i care too much either way, the arancarr have been nothing if not fodder so far...

Really.. and where is your input? none? wow..
Show me a contradiction. I shall explain if you find such.. All that was in theirs was personal opinion. I attempted to explain that.. Let me dum it down.. They say Bleach Sucks.. I say no it don't. They say yes it does. I say no it don't.

Lol.. That's not a contradiction.
They said it sucked. And that popularity meant nothing. Popularity doesn't mean it's good, but it's a supporting factor that proves as such. I understand why your impotent brain would think as such though so no hard feelings. Let me dum it down once more.
- Popularity don't mean it's good, but it does indeed help send the message that it doesn't suck
Not a contradiction, but part of the same argument.

Like a lot of females her "looks" vary from picture to picture due to lighting, amount of make up, and facial expression. Also, a lot of people don't like Obamamamama. For w/e reason. They've never met the guy so w/evs.

They are trying to create a big enough buffer so that they won't keep catching up the with the manga so often.
