@relyat08 Am I taunting anyone here? No. Everyone acts differently bud. If I see a series I dislike come to an end then I'm going to express my joy. Don't like it? I'm sorry, but that's too bad. It's no different than someone reacting positively to a movie or series the majority dislikes.

If all you're doing is going into a thread to basically say good riddance and nothing more you are at best adding nothing of actual value to the discussion, and at worst simply leaving flamebait for others. You've also been warned before about leaving bait style posts like this with no real substance to them explaining why you dislike a show or manga. Consider this a last warning to you personally, and the others doing it here, to just stop.

Considering that I found both versions of Keijo to be fun on my end, this is really saddening news. I'll go drown my sorrows in a videogame or something since I don't have any wine. Sad

The manabi line is irrelevant now. And has been for the last few years, if not longer. That's simply not how anime makes money.


The manabi line is a measure of piss poor disc sales. Of course disc sales is not the only success metric, there is the increase in original material (light novel and/or manga), which from what is being said on this thread Keijo!!! did not get any. There is also merchandise sales (which afaik keijo!!! didn't had any to start with) and last but not least, publicity (aka commercials) on the TV broadcast, but since no doubt Keijo!!! was shown past midnight, there was no significant revenue from that either.

So the sad lesson is that being popular on stream services just means that the anime production committee did not lost money on the production of the adaption, but that does not change the fact that many big (and some small) circulation magazines have been purging themselves from their less popular titles in hope of getting new series that will fare better.

Well when i originally posted that link yesterday morning that note wasn't there and many people in the thread were going with that as well.

It wasn't my intent to misinform people, at the time that was the prevailing, and only theory, as to the end. Now there are other reports saying the series just reached it's natural endpoint

What a bunch of pansies. Apparently we can only be nice to Keijo, otherwise you get your post deleted. Such censorship!

The series lasting as long as it did was the real miracle. If this was Jump or Weekly, it would have perished long ago.

That wasn't censorship. The goal of a discussion thread is to contribute to the conversation in some way. That wasn't contribution, because it didn't bring anything to the table. If you intend to criticize something, you should do so in a constructive manner. Mindless criticism is useless.
