Anime catching up to manga super quickly
i came up with a math formula just now in the manga section to guess when the anime would catch up to the manga
feel free to point out any errors in my logic
First of all, the functions for anime and manga releases are the simple slope formula y=mx+b
the b variable is replaced with the # of episodes/chapters already out since last week
the m variable is 1, since only 1 episode/chapter is released per week
we also know that there are currently 122 anime episodes out, and 248 manga chapters out
and finally, we know that anime episode 122 corresponds with manga chapter 208
Anime:
122+t=A(t)
t = # of weeks from last release
A(t) = total # of anime episodes at week "t"
Manga:
248+t=M(t)
t = # of weeks from last release
M(t) = total # of manga chapters at week "t"
Ratio:
M(t) = A(t) * (208/122)
M(t) = A(t) * (104/61)
Next step is to combine these 3 functions into 1 function
first, since both Manga and Ratio functions are solved for M(t), we'll combine these:
248 + t = A(t) * (104/61)
(248 + t)(61/104) = A(t)
now that we have this solved for A(t), we can combine it with the Anime function:
(248 + t)(61/104) = 122 + t
(1891/13) + (61/104)t = 122 + t
(305/13) = t - (61/104)t
(305/13) = (43/104)t
t = 56.74 weeks
so there ya have it......at the rate its going, the anime will catch up to the manga in march of next year
