Title: Whats Hot in Manga/Anime?
Post by: bastett08 on August 05, 2008, 11:51:36 pm
I've been out of the anime front for a while 'cause I work late nights doing God knows what but I just haven't had the chance to get my hands on some juicy anime lately but I do read a lot of manga.  So what's popular right now in the fanart front?  I know the obvious: Naruto, One Piece, Bleach, Kingdom Hearts, and Final Fantasy but what else?

Please list some series you would like to see at the con.  This will SERIOUSLY help us out.  And please tell us what you want as far as merchandise goes.

Thanks!

Well, it's video games (save for two unsuccessful animes), but Final Fantasy art is always a seller. And if you get any games from before 7, you'll get fan adoration.

Well, other than those you listed, Hellsing and Trinity Blood are pretty huge. Also there's Fullmetal Alchemist, Death Note, and Inuyasha. Those are some I can remember right now.

Everything I like (the one anime and the two manga... Plus the 8,000 video games...) are things no one's heard about or paid very much attention to, it seems. 8D;;; Uhh, well.  Rozen Maiden is my favorite anime/manga, and Et Cetera is a close second for manga.  I guess you could add Karin/Chibi Vampire in there if you want, but it's really cheesy.  My favorite game is Tales of Legendia...


As for things you could probably sell fairly well?  Um... Everyove LOEV Twilight, so you could make, like, bookmarks of those characters or something.  Then for a joke you could do some Mudkips stuff.  Anyone who gets the joke will laugh or buy something, and then the Pokemon fans who don't get the joke will be like, "Omg!  I luv Mudkips!!!!" as other people have mentioned, Haruhi Suzumiya and Death Note should sell pretty well.  Oh!  Phoenix Wright things should actually sell okay too, and I might be included in buyers. 8D; If you draw and HAWT SEXAY PIN-UPS I'm sure you'll get a few buyers for generic things like that, too...

I'm sorry I don't contribute much... 8D;;;; I hope this helped a little bit, though.  But I will add that if you do anything Death Note the fans will be all over you like fruit flies.  If you were like, a moldy peach or something.  Yeah...

Mudkipz are over. Slowpoke and Palkia are where the Poké-funny is now.

Especially Palkia. Guess why (http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Palkia_%28Pok%C3%A9mon%29).

Have not seen Phoenix Wright but I will one day.  Heheh!

Thanks!  I'll consider those ideas.
