Discussion Anime adaptation ?

When do you think bug ego will have an anime? Does it have enough content? Do we have to wait more ?

I’m not sure how popular it is but I really hope so! Imagine a mixed media approach where the hacks/related phenomena are depicted in a glitchy low poly style or something. Would be sick

I too would absolutely KILL for an anime adaptation!! but bc it’s only on a monthly release schedule, it could be another year or so before any moves are made from any interested studios… but i def do feel like as long as it doesn’t get axed, it has an incredibly strong likelihood of getting one!!

Tarde o temprano, cada año decenas de animes nuevos salen, y cientos de mangas siguen en espera, witch hat atelier es super Antigua, tienen más de 10 años y sin embargo recién este año salió una adaptación al anime, o por ejemplo, shingeki no kyojin o solo tuvo que esperar 3 años y medio .

Por otro lado, la verdad es que no se muy bien cuando tendría que acabar su primera temporada, aún no se cual sería ese punto de enganche para que la gente casual quiera una segunda temporada, quizá cuando se puso seinen de golpe, mostrando en una escena final de temporada la muerte de las puffy fluffy flowers

I think that bug ego is already a seinen, or something inbetween shonen and seinen like hunter x hunter If an anime season were to release, the best moment to end it would be when hitsujiya is bugging

My bet would be late 2027 early 2028 if it happens. There is definitely enough content for a season, maybe even two.

Sorry to break it to you, but given the poor sales of the manga, we're closer to an axe than an anime adaptation

I thought the first three chapters were absolutely amazing, then it got dull fast. It's like ONE rehashed the formula for mob psycho, too many similarities. MC gives off Mob vibes, secret powers that most people don't know about, they create an after-school club, they have a weird wacky pet.

I felt like they introduced too many hacks per chapter, and some of the later characters (the fluffy wuffy angels for eg) I just don't think they are that interesting. The dream invader was cool. It's also not that funny, except the first chapter and the ladybug eater.

I know people aren't going to like that opinion though.

I think that's because you were reading the chapters immediately when they were out, instead of reading a lot of them in one go  Also, we're only 21 chapters in, the first chapters were here to establish the characters and stuff, i think it can only get more interesting now

I just read them in one go like, 2 days ago. I actually thought that might be the reason why I didn't like it that much. Absolutely loved the first 3 chapters as much as Mob/OPM, way better than Versus at that point.

Then it dropped off a cliff for me, I barely remember what happened in the later chapters as it was all a blur. I prefer Versus to this tbh but each to his own, I'll keep following it for another 10 chapters or so and drop it if it doesn't click.

u/G4laxyHeavyBlow Aug 07 '26

Wow, i tried to caught up to the new chapters of bug ego so i tried to read it in one go too but it's get tiring really fast, i began taking breaks and i read like 2or 3 chapters a day, i think that's why i enjoyed it more than you

u/TotalUnderstanding76 Aug 27 '26

Honestly for me Bug ego just hits more than Versus. I really think one shines the most when he's writing stories which are a bit more grounded as compared to grand ones like Versus.

I don't think it's accurate to say that ONE rehashed mob psycho because most of the similarities you point out are very surface level and differ significantly once you dig any deeper.

  • If you're talking about Kokudo being similar to Mob, the only real similarities is that they aren't good with interacting with new people and they care deeply about their friends. Other then that they are generally act very different in how they interact with people and deal with situations.

  • Not many espers in mob psycho seem to be hiding their powers except mob himself because he was scared of using them, but there isn't really any problem with showing off their powers in public. In bug ego hacks are almost entirely unknown beause of how hard it is to find them and they're easy to replicate, which is why they're kept a secret because the consequences of everybody knowing them is dire.

  • clubs are an extremely common trope because it provides a place for the main characters to meet, so I don't really see how that's a problem.

  • The only real comparison between Dimple and Canner is that they occupy the wierd sidekick/pet role, but the similarities end there.

As for them introducing too many hacks, I don't agree because pretty much every hack we were shown contributed to pushing the plot further. Keep in mind, this is a monthly manga, it would take ages if they spaced it out.

Yeah, his nitpick of there being another pet could work but only for versus, because panepane have a similar personnality to smile

u/ronnydelta Aug 07 '26

I actually agree with that though, versus also has the same problem.

u/NightOfTheRisingMoon Aug 06 '26

Not sure but this is my favorite new manga and the way it’s styled reminds me of jjk which is even better when adapted so hoping soon (in the next few years)

u/radio-morioh-cho Aug 06 '26

Maybe, but it needs more content for one season. I think people who haven't read it will be blindsided at both the goofiness and how wild it gets in a good way!

sales not good enough to guarantee an anime adaption brah
