Why does it feel like all the recent sport show adaptations (Haikyuu, Kuroko, Yowapeda, Diamond of the Ace) are aimed at fujoshi first and foremost?

I don't get the same vibe when I'm watching the classics like Initial D, Hajime no Ippo, Slam Dunk or Major.

Because there are less and less male viewers of male-oriented sports manga/anime since modern otaku hate sports while fujos like them since they get off on sausagefests.

Old sports anime had that kind of atmosphere and character that defined them as something more than just another anime. But now they're just that, generic shows with sport slapped onto them, and yes of course many are aimed or directly pandering to fujos.

Slam Dunk and Initial D both had massive fujo fanbases when they came out. A bunch of authors that went legit did SD homo early on like Umino Chica, Ougi Yuzuha, Fujiyama Hyouta, and Yamane Amano.

But really, shounen sports series are aimed at little boys in theory so they pander to the parents that watch with their kids. Sentai/Kamen Rider do the same thing. They have goofy action/friendship powers for the kids and then hire JAV tits actresses and handsome men to make it fun for mom and dad.

Times are changing anon. Muscles are big right now. There's a lot of middle ground between stuff like Tagame and shoujo waifs and both sexes are enjoying them.

Hell, even Tagame knows he's got a decent female fanbase and has talked about how he sometimes caters to them.

>Why does it feel like all the recent sport show adaptations (...) are aimed at fujoshi first and foremost?
That's where the money is. Young boys want to read battle shonen and not sports, and grown men want CGDCT. The men that actually like sports just watch real sports. The demographic for just sports manga for sports sake, whether it's professional or high school activites, is very small. It's no coincidence that one of the best selling sports manga of all time (Touch) centered more around romantical drama than it did baseball.

It has nothing to do with fujoshi, the writing and amount of work put into the latter is clearly greater. Different times, different shows. Not even moeshit is the same as it was before.
>>
>>142840962
Have you seen the kind of humor hajime no ippo has? It's mostly jokes that only a man would fine funny. I mean just look at Takamura. He's literally that guy we all know that does dirty jokes all the time.
Also I don't think the art style would be very appealing to the fujos.

There wouldn't be anything wrong with pandering to fujos if it didn't directly correlate with a decrease in objective quality of the work.
>>
>>142842562
The decrease in quality comes from hack authors who can't write for shit, not the fanbase.
>>
>>142842695
If the fanbase consumes your stuff anyways, why would the writer try?
>>
>>142842837
It's not that they don't try, it's that they genuinely have no talent. But people love to eat up shitty weekly shounen sports series so they still sell.
All the shows in the first row had a larger young male fanbase than a fujoshi one at the beginning. And they might still do. The ones to blame for the shitty quality are tasteless shounen readers who hype it enough to reel in other kind of tasteless readers.
>>
>>142839073
It started waaaaaaaaaaaaay before Free. Slam Dunk was probably the first sports manga that had a gigantic fujo following (although the first manga that led fujo becoming a major force in the doujin circuit was JoJo). And it was popular for a long time. Only Prince of Tennis lasted longer in popularity.
>>
>>142839144
Nope that would be Captain Tsubasa.

Or Saint Seiya.
>>
>>142839580
BL has mostly moved from the super pretty boys and more into K-Pop looking guys now: more handsome than pretty. And yeah, there are bara mangaka who are making bank in the BL would like Inaki Matsumoto and Hyougo Kijima.

Fujo's taste in guys has definitely diversified in the last 10 years.
>>
Because they literally are for a fujo demo.
>>
>>142839623
Yes. But it wasn't really about the sport.
>>
>>142842562
Yeah, but only one of the four listed in the OP that is objectively bad was Kuroko and that's because it was written by a guy who didn't watch basketball before he started the manga and it's pretty apparent considering he never listed Kuroko's position as if he could be anything else other than a point guard due to his size and his inability to shoot consistently but got minutes on the court.
>>
>>142843214
Even before Jojo and Slam Dunk. Look at what was going on with Captain Tsubasa and Seiya.

Because it's a fujoshi conspiracy where they will slowly turn all anime into fujo-aimed shows. It starts with a few shows here and there, and next thing you know 3/4 of the chart are shows aimed at those filthy, filthy woman.

LOL, I don't. Haikyuu is literally the only SJ title I reading currently. Nice try.

And the characterization is fine and none of them seems forced. The only low points to Haikyuu is that it had a lot of matches back to back and kinda ignored the balance with SOL it had and now it's going back to that.

>indoor volleyball
>boring
Nigga, I can't help your bad taste. But if you hate the sport, the manga is going to be boring to you. It doesn't make it objectively bad.

Sport shows always had a female following and fujoshi have been a relevant part of the fanbase since Cap. Tsubasa.

Fujoshi shows don't mind including cute girls, look at Shounen Maid this season for example. Yaoi tend to have no cute girls though.

You think idiots on /a/ will believe that even if it's true? Literally half the board has no idea what a fujoshi even is.

>>142838586
Haikyuu and Kuroko being aimed at fujoshi is a meme.
They just grabbed onto it because there was not much else. Like what they did with Death Note.

Wasn't Hajime no Ippo the one where they touched each others dicks in the shower?

Anime is better now.

Better and more sophisticated. On point too. You Luddites should realize that better tech means better animation.

For example, we hardly have loose cells or out of place layers. A lot of layers could be put on top of each other. Lighting has also improved. Lewd shiny thighs wouldn't have been possible in old cel animation. So are bloom effects (although some purists hate that)

I love these advancements. No more limited movement.

Lens flares galore, sure. Of course there are cons. Visually speaking, though? Enchanting is the first word that comes to mind.

We (that is, they) work faster as well. In truth, there's an influx of anime nowadays. Tons of series. Hentai too.

Amazing strides in technology shouldn't be ignored because of your nostalgia.

Greatness can be seen in the latest works out there. Intense visuals. Realistic backgrounds. Luscious movement.

Anime is dead. Lying six feet underground. Totally dedicated to catering to hardcore otaku and their willingness to overpay for BDs. Everyone else can't get into that sekrit klub. Retro anime used to be anime for everyone. Not today's anime. Anime in the new millennium is just for selling something. They're commercials. Expensive advertisements.

Undo this, /a/. Nuke the Japs again. International intervention is called for before it's too late. Virgins from Japan are ruining anime. "Edgy" anime for mature people like myself are dying out. Retro anime can no longer sell. Sexualization sells now. End this by pulling the nuclear reset button on those goddamn elevens.
