Speaking of which, I really wonder how demon slayers sales will affect the manga/anime industry. What will be the takeaway from its success? Im sure the industry sees dollar signs behind that show and some studios will try to follow whatever they believe was the formula for its success.

If it were up to me it would be nothing

But I don't control the anime industry so what do brehs in here think will happen in terms of impact?

more faith in streaming & digital platforms, I bet. DS has been available on Hulu, Amazon, CR, Funimation, Netflix. Not held hostage on one service, TV broadcasts like a lot of other shows are. Easy for anyone to find and watch no matter where you are.

I doubt DS will change the pattern of adaptations as a whole, since it's been proven that you don't need production quality to be successful. Can cash in on an existing stanbase + anime only viewers who are new to the franchise. Often times this is enough for studios who don't have the resources of an Ufotable, or are juggling so many projects at once that quality has to be sacrificed somewhere.

I also doubt DS will have influence on genres outside of battle shounen. There are a ton of successful anime franchises that are intended for niche audiences who buy all the merchandise. Don't really have to appeal to the masses to be successful.

what we probably will see is more shounen projects being greenlit that production committees think can be the next Demon Slayer, That probably won't happen, but we as viewers benefit either way.

Caught up on Akudama Drive in time for the final ep. Ended up loving the show. I see a lot of people disliking the turn of events midway but I will chalk that up to people sucking at expectation management.

Outside of the over-the-top cliché scifi fukkery in the 11th ep this played out great.

Akudama Drive was a fukking epic masterpiece from start to finish. Felt like a wild amusement park ride the whole time. I think it had like only one down time episode and it was still good. Tempted to redo my top 20.

Would definitely translate into a good live action film with the right director and budget.

Ak Drive episode 12 made up for whatever episode 11 was. See what happens you put some effort to an original series.
