What are blatant misconceptions and lies peddled by people about anime and manga? This can be about specific character and story elements within a fandom of a respective series
>Araki intended for Josuke to travel back in time
>Toriyama wanted to end dragon ball around so and so
Or more general stuff such as
>Azuma hated the Azumanga Daioh anime

Tragically Hokuto no Ken is one of those series that people know of but refuse to actually read. Could also be because Viz only translated the entire series last year, after over 30 years of failing to do so.

That animation quality is determined by budget and not time constraints+lack of talented personnel.That "budget is spent" whenever the animation quality noticeable improves.
That "budget ran out" when animation suffers--people still think Anno made episodes 25 and 26 of Evangelion like that because he ran out of money when it was really a deadline issue.

It was the completely out-of-nowhere sun/moon seals that he pulled out of his ass to let Naruto and Sasuke an actual shot at winning, those would've worked on Madara just as well. Why the fuck would he pull an even stronger villain out if it's what the fans say?

Rurouni Kenshin mangaka being a pedo that was found with CP. In reality the guy had legal gravure idols magazine, but the cuckservative government of Japan retroactively made it illegal for girls of that age to be part of the magazine (they were around 16 or something) and the guy got fucked for what was objectively legal material in his own country. Since then redditors and secondaries keep seething against him and wonder why nobody has shunned him in the manga industry when he effectively did nothing wrong.

The fujimoto got carried by assistants meme is retarded. Assistants mainly do backgrounds and part 2 up to Falling contained some of Fujimoto’s best art work. He managed to convey all sorts of facial expressions with a relatively simple style. The biggest difference between current p2 and p1 artwork is the character art. Fujimoto’s whole style changed, just look how thick the linework got after falling.

I've heard this shit for literal decades and never once seen a single cited source, in fact it doesn't even make any sense given that Gohan scored higher than Goku on the prior popularity poll and the man himself has gone on record stating that he thought Gohan just wasn't fit to be main character material

This weird idea that Anno hated otaku and made End of Eva as a 'take that' to them which is not even remotely true since Anno at that time would have easily classified himself as an otaku, but EoE was always part of the plan, it just turned into a movie insteadI feel like this is one of those things that 'sounds' right because people see Anno as an auteur but just isn't true by any stretch of the imagination

I know everyone on /a/ hates him and his series now but Fuji gets unfairly memed as a degenerate cumbrain into femdom. Because of memes and fan art, CSM gets seen as some fetish series but it’s very tame compared to actual femdom manga, there’s hardly any sexually explicit material in the damn series. We probably won’t even get a sex chapter. Plus, in universe Denji is aware that some screw him over and his obsession with Makima isn’t seen as a good thing. He even ends up killing her. Fujimoto just has a thing for bitchy women. Hell, the best relationship Denji has had with a female is when they’re on the same wavelength and his current love interest isn’t domineering

Don’t know if this one counts since it’s not really believed by anymore nowadays but I always think of this because it lasted a good 20 years and people wouldn’t believe you when you tried to give proof of the interview that it was wrong or explain that the anime was a mistake line is taken out of context and in the middle of a sentence.

>Enel from One Piece was based off of Eminem
This one annoys me because there is literally nothing backing it up and Oda has never made any reference to his design being inspired by Eminem. He’s based characters off of real life people before, yes, but he’s always been open with his references and outright confirms them in SBS and other interviews. Yet a lot of people still bring it up like it’s an objective fact. And if you ask for for a source or for them to prove it, the subhumans that keep pushing it will either accuse you of not knowing what you’re talking about because it’s “common knowledge” yet again can’t point to a single source except sometimes vaguely mentioning some random interview that no one has ever been able to pull up or find.

>The Doraemon manga actually ends with Doraemon suddendly shutting off due to battery damage, the Time Patrol banning time traveling (preventing Dorami from helping at all), and Nobita studying hard and spending many years reverse engineering Doraemon in order to fix him.IIRC, this was actually a doujinshi, which then got spread around online as the manga's actual ending. Many people actually believed it, especially because the doujinshi's art was pretty similar to the one from the actual Doraemon manga. And this got to the point where Fujiko Pro / Shogakukan stepped in and sued the author of said doujinshi due to all the confussion it caused.
And yet, there's still many people to this day that believes this is how Doraemon actually ends.

>Death Note being pushed by the editor into a part 2 because of some unrelated shit they wrote in Bakuman which applies to many other manga
It was always the plan to have Light eat dirt after a showdown with L, but the author wrote themselves into a corner and there was no way to make a satisfying ending without killing L off, which relegated the actual showdown to his successor, and they had so much leeway they even decided the number of chapters the manga was going to last (108, a sacred number in Buddhism).
One of the movies tries to make L defeat Light but it's pretty unremarkable when compared to the beautiful downward spiral that is the manga ending. Part 2 is also very good with memorable characters (Mello the jobber and Near the absolute sperg) and it's a sad state of affairs it filtered so many brainlets they need to lie with the muh editors bullshit.
