Why is "Inuyasha" not popular? ——Looking at the reasons why classic animation is “outdated” from data
As a classic in the history of Japanese animation, "Inuyasha" has been popular all over the world for its fantasy adventure plot and delicate emotional portrayal. However, the topic data of the entire network in the past 10 days shows that its popularity has dropped significantly. This article will explore the reasons behind this phenomenon through structured data analysis.
1. Comparative data of the popularity of the entire network in the past 10 days

| Title of work | search index | Discussion volume on social platforms | Number of second creation videos |
|---|---|---|---|
| "Inuyasha" | 5,200 | 3,800 items | 217 |
| "Spell Return" | 1,850,000 | 620,000 items | 52,000 |
| "Demon Slayer" | 1,200,000 | 480,000 items | 38,000 |
2. Three core reasons for the decline in popularity
1. Aesthetic changes of the times
The "half-demon boy + Warring States adventure" setting that was popular in the 2000s seems to lack freshness in the current market where "reincarnation in another world" and "superpower combat" are the mainstream. Data shows that in the new series of 2023Different world themes accounted for 37%, while traditional adventure themes only account for 12%.
2. Content iteration stagnates
| Time node | big event | heat peak |
|---|---|---|
| 2009 | Comic finished | Search index 920,000 |
| 2020 | "Half-demon Yashahime" broadcast | Search index 280,000 |
| 2023 | No new plans | The search index is less than 10,000 |
3. Weak business operations
Compare peripheral development data of similar IPs:
| IP name | Number of new peripherals per year | Number of joint activities |
|---|---|---|
| "Inuyasha" | 15 styles | 3 times |
| "Detective Conan" | 280 models | 47 times |
3. Possibility of breaking classic IP
Despite declining popularity, surveys show85% of old viewersWilling to pay for a high quality remaster. Possible activation methods include:
• 4K remastered version released on streaming platforms
• Develop open world games
• Launched Gaiden comics with modern style of painting
Conclusion:The "inuyasha" "outdated" is the inevitable result of the metabolism of the animation market, but its achievements in character creation and plot integrity still allow it to maintain its unique status as a "tear of the times". Perhaps in some emotional marketing in the future, we can also see the sharpness of Tie Suiya reappearing.
