INTEREST: World Trigger's Border Units Inspire Hoodies & Scarfs

It's bad how the popularity of this franchise is SO LOW when is ashonen that avoids most of the well known shonen cliches. But at least this gives it some recognition. Also, in which store are these going to be sold? I want one

I'm just sad that this is not a new season update....
And even more sad over how expensive Japanese merch is, geez

The manga's doing just fine in the rankings though, the author's ill health notwithstanding. I personally find it interesting World Trigger can get merchandise like this when the anime outright flopped.

Yeah, for once this is something I'd like to get if I find it somewhere. It's pretty subtle.

I agree that the popularity hasn't been AS bad as a lot of people have been saying, but I recall someone mentioning bad dvd sales and it is a little suspicious when at the end of the last episode they said something along the lines of 'keep supporting the series and there *might* be a new season in the future!' It didn't leave us with a lot of confidence and people were just like 'well that's it then'.

Well this type of shows dont really sell that well with bd-dvd best to see how its doin with the manga and there its selling quite good. And the reason why it ended so suddenly is because the anime was getting really close to the source material and they were loosing they slot at the tv due some sports stuff so they to make a choice either buy again another time slot or simply stop it at this point since they were runnin out of material anyway.
Personnaly i expect the anime to return within the next year or perhaps 2 depends how much material they want, it is well enough popular to get more and the story is also gettin better and better.

What I mean is, that other shonen series have big online communities and lots of people commenting and talking about them(be it good, bad, or "X is the most cliche shonen that I´ve read") but this series, that has no Power of friendship, no power-ups without explanation and the battles so far have been so far about strategy rather than power scales, no one is talking about it. And there are even some people who say it´s the worst just because.
