J.M. Matthews Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 (edited) The two most popular being One-Punch Man and My Hero Academia. 2 Very fun anime and manga series. They seem to have become 2 of the most popular and best with American audiences. I've seen all of OPM Season 1, I own Volumes 1-11 and have read 1-10 so far. And I've watched Hero Academia 1-15. I'll eventually buy some copies of the manga and check those out too. These 2 anime must be really appealing and fun because I've watched more consecutive episodes in a row of these show than any other recent anime. I approve. It's definitely a trend. Superhero and indie comics seem bigger in Japan than previously, otherwise I can assure you these manga/anime wouldn't exist if they weren't. Thoughts on the trend? What's causing all this? Is it the dynamism of Saitama and All Might? The Crazy Villains and Monsters? Ort he glorification of the hero concept? All possible explanations. Other than Magus Bride, One-Punch Man and Academia are the only anime I've really gotten into. I like the American vibe they have, which is not to say I don't like Japan. I just like it when Japan pays homage to American personalities and culture. Edited February 7, 2018 by J.M. Matthews Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The1gairon Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 More anime are being made in an attempt to have universal appeal, and what a better subject matter to draw American viewers than superheroes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chapinator_X Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 The Marvel Cinematic Universe makes billions, so naturally, some mangaka would want to ride the trend of making similar superhero stories to capitalize off of how successful the MCU has been on an international scale.
