Why arent there more long running weekly shonen anymore with branching 50+ chapter/episode arcs anymore...

Imagine how much better these shows would be if they weren't forced to shit out content every single week for years.

This sounds good on paper but in the end the anime adaptations are still as shit as always. Just look and Boku no hero, quality goes down every season.

its the number 1 manga in the world, i dont think WSJ will die, but it will surely take a hit once they lose a series that massive.

>ITT zoomers on denial thinking the Big 3 wouldn't BTFO any other modern day shounen if they were to be released today for the first time

Still better than most OP, Bleach or Naruto episodes. Also no more filler arc.

Because their other recent big series all seem like they'll end soon (see KnY) and there are no promising huge hits in the horizon to replace them.

Still, magazines survive with much smaller circulation, but they will take a hit if nothing else is growing to a similar size by the time One Piece ends.

Really, I always felt like the longer arcs of manga like Naruto and OP came from the authors being influenced by watching filler-heavy anime, with those filler heavy anime becoming rarer and rarer through the years, we're now seeing authors going back to shorter arcs.

As for the lack of longer filler heavy shows, there are just less anime getting prime timeslots that make it worth it to keep making that extra content just to keep the ratings and show on air. In addition to One Piece, you also have Detective Conan that's mostly ignored in the West, and in both of those cases you have a secondary time slot next to them that's used for a rotation of different series, changing periodically, with no worry about that since the big attraction is stable. That's why BnHA gets away with its seasonal format in spite of being a daytime show due to this timeslot being available next to Conan.

Still if you look back there were never THAT many long 100 episode+ series running all at once (well, not counting stuff like Doraemon, Sazae-san, Shin-chan, chibi maruko and such that are still running now and obviously no one counts them). Then you have some movement towards anime original shows, like how during the 90s you had a filler heavy Toei Sailor Moon, but nowadays they just make their own fully original Pretty Cure series, and there are all those anime-original card game series.

>Why are people saying that WSJ will die once One Piece ends?
Because people always want to believe the sky is falling. I'm sure there were retards saying the same thing when Dragon Ball was over

Those series didn't have 50+ chapter arcs until later in their run. Bnha had a 40 chapter arc and black clover had a 90 chapter arc.

bleach literally started with a 100+ chapter soul society arc after they introduced the characters, and one piece has had almost nothing but 100+ arcs since alabasta once they gathered the core crew. dont know about naruto, but from what i read theyre pretty short arcs
