Tokyo Ghoul was pretty popular berfore the anime, but with anime it just skyrocketed in popularity(probably helps that the anime is crap and everybody wants to read the obviously better version xD)

Jojo has always been extremely popular(selling almost 100 million copies is proof of that I think xD) and it's also one of the most influential mangas out there. You can see references in a lot of very popular series' these days, so I don't think it was just where you lived. Although him being from there probably gives people a push to read his work xD

I just think anime has helped widen the audience for these mangas and can do it for many more as well.

How did the anime help if it sucked...? Sounds kinda weird. All I know now is that TG is pretty dang popular now, haha.

I forget Jojo is something that's been around for a long time, and I recognize it's something that is pretty dang popular and iconic. Though I still think the people living in his hometown still wear that fact with pride, haha.

Well, think of it this way. If you watch something and like it, but you find out it was very incomplete and nothing like the creator intended for it to be, then wouldn't that make you curious to check out the source material? At least that happens to me a lot xD. I watch something and like it, but then I find out that it's incomplete and decide to just read the manga to finish/continue the story. Thing is, the anime is bad, but for somebody that knows nothing about the manga, they might find it enjoyable. I don't know if I explained it well or if you understood. Maybe it's just my way of thinking xD
