Also, I don't think I'm gonna add this, solely based on the fact that I don't think this is an actual franchise?Flatland came out in 1884 so thats 137 years old.
It has a book and multiple movies, does that not count?Also, I don't think I'm gonna add this, solely based on the fact that I don't think this is an actual franchise?
Sure, but isn't it just a retelling of the same story? Franchise implies commercial intent, which as far as I'm aware Flatland isn't terribly commercializedIt has a book and multiple movies, does that not count?
Having adaptations isn't the same as being a franchise tho.It has a book and multiple movies, does that not count?
I dont really know as ive never watched them, theres two movies just called Flatland and another one thats called Flatland 2 so…Sure, but isn't it just a retelling of the same story? Franchise implies commercial intent, which as far as I'm aware Flatland isn't terribly commercialized
Cthulhu Mythos is on the border of this, since while it was a long-running "series" originally, it's only become a franchise recently, with pieces of media based on the original
This one I'm also adverse to, since while it is sort of a franchise, the new Sherlock Holmes stuff is legally distinct from the original stuff. I'd consider the original books entirely separate from the new shit due to the family of ACD blocking people from true adaptations.Would Sherlock Holmes count? The first book came out in 1887 that's 134 years ago.
peasant anime is below good verses, as is right and justAkira is 33 and Dragon Ball is 35 (Pokemon is surprisingly young at 25). Fist of the North Star is just as old as Dragon Ball. YYH is 29

Dragon Ball came out in 1984, The Legend of Zelda is one year after Mario so it should be on there too. I believe Dragon Quest has some pages here as well, so it would be the same as Zelda, and Final Fantasy is one year after that. So those should all be added. Also, if I remember correctly, Gundam is pretty old as well.Good point.

Genshin ImpactWhat are the youngest franchises?
the best of the best.
There was actually a small amount of franchising back when ACD was alive, with a play that was primarily written by William Gillette.This one I'm also adverse to, since while it is sort of a franchise, the new Sherlock Holmes stuff is legally distinct from the original stuff. I'd consider the original books entirely separate from the new shit due to the family of ACD blocking people from true adaptations.
