Hunter x Hunter to resume

Heck, for a manga that's been on a string of long hiatuses, the latest volume sold almost 2 million copies. Granted, being on a hiatus means people will talk about it when it's being serialized. Nevertheless, it's still extremely popular.
Yeah, and they are extremely popular in Japan, yes, and even there, the sales figure decrease every season. The monogatari series is probably one of the few exceptions, in that even though its sales are also declining, its not at the same rate as other series.

Then, I guess I'll wait for a few weeks after it resumes and start reading. I'm already planning to start Berserk and Kingdom manga in January, during my travel from and to the University.

It apparently went bankrupt and that apparently caused Masao Maruyama to go on his own and form MAPPA, which has many of the core staff from Madhouse. They made stuff like Zankou no Terror, Yuri!! on Ice.
I think this type of popularity has a lot to do with the way the story is structured. If it is written in a way that keeps the reader interested in the long run (rather then going for immediate hype events) it will fare better with hiatuses. Though I see what you mean, for sure. Also, my guess is that Monogatari is as popular as ever is because they sort of design it to be popular, inserting elements that will make people excited, making all those gif-worthy scenes, right amount of fanservice and so on. It is very different from how normal shonen shows are adopted, I believe.

I wonna read Berserk too one day =) The old anime adaptation is supposed to be pretty good too. If you don't plan to watch it, at least check out "Forces" OST, I like it a lot.

Mappa was found in 2011 though, so Madhouse has probably recovered since then. It is pretty normal for studios to give birth to new independent productions, I wouldn't be too worried about that.

Off topic: I am reading a new One Punch man chapter right now. It is 136 pages long o.o Murata...

Me too. It's unfortunate that the new anime looks like dogshit. I would have watched the old anime and this one and continued reading the manga. Bummer.

Well, after 2012, they came back really strongly. And, then after 2015, welp, nothing.

Its anime adaptation is crapped on by fans too, unfortunately.

I am a little anxious about the look of the new Berserk season as well. Looks too 3d heavy. As for Eyeshield 21 - since all I know about it is that the manga is drawn by Murata I never even considered watching the anime version xD I have no clue what the story is about and such, only interested in seeing the great action panels.

I honestly don't know. Probably because I didn't follow facebook pages back then, or youtube channels plus whenever i visited mal it was nowhere to be found. Plus, no one here talks about it.

I don't know. The plot moves at such a slow pace that a sense of progression always seems minimal.

It's exactly one chapter per episode. I guess that's why it seems like that for you(and for me of course). This model has become really archaic, having watched seasonal shounen anime adapting 2+chapters per ep with consistent animation and pacing.
But, the manga looks like it's going at a break-neck speed, right?

Thats cool. I kind of doubt I will have time to watch it though.


The manga resumed, fyi. It's gonna be years before the anime come back.




It came back this year and went back to hiatus again.

I didn't expect it to go on a hiatus again so soon and I wasn't aware of that.
Glad that it's coming back again
 
I used to read it but got fed up with those long breaks and dropped it.
You are good to still follow this manga

No, I don't follow it, actually. I watched the anime and that's it. Sindar is the only one I know who follows it.

The manga doesn't feel too fast, there are just lots of exciting events happening. I don't know how it would transition into the anime though. For example there was a panel where a character avoided falling onto the ground in a specific way, just a single action panel, but I enjoyed it a lot, because of the implications it brought. It would be super easy to ruin a moment like that. It worked in the manga because 1) I know Oda's drawing style and I can recognize it when he puts an emphasis on something, 2) because it was done in a subtle way, sort of rewarding you for getting the hint. There are less weird gems there too; my point is though, I have no idea how it will transition into the anime. I am talking about newest chapters here, the ones you are about to see adopted are awesome in the conventional way. I really hope they will get their act together with the animation, cause you are getting close to my fav part of the arc so far =)
