Mag Talk Weekly Shounen Jump [2009] - Discussion & TOC Talk

[ssjohn]

His eyes still bother me, sorry they just look creepy, the guy in the background looks fine though lol.

 

[sir_arles]

The uniforms and coloring looks cool, tough...

We'll have to wait and see how's it like =P
Anyway, gotta admit that guy looks creepy =S


See ya
Nos vemos

 

[eni]

He kinda looks like a ghost or demon in human form

But I shouldn't get my hope up on a sports/supernatural-mix manga >.>

 

[Finestela]

To me, it's as if he's blind (rofl)
Anyway, I'm hopeful for at least My Star and Nishi's series... and if Kuroko plays well, we might just hit a successful start of 2009 series! (Though that would mean we'll be needing to making space for them... with cuts here and there )

 

[eni]

A blind player - now that would be cool

 

[fxu]

In basketball? No way.

Maybe some other sport like ping-pong or tennis were the possible explanation could be echolocation... but it doesn't so plausible for basketball.


edit: Seems I was proven wrong, Ben Underwood, a blind teen uses echolocation to "accomplish such feats as running, basketball, rollerblading, playing foosball, playing video games, and skateboarding."

 

[StrangerAtaru]

The design of the Kuroko lead...I still keep saying it but...I wouldn't be surprised if he used to be a Matsui assistant from his appearance.

#04-05 (22 December) :
Naoshi Komi (Double Arts) / One Shot

Is the oneshot a Double Arts oneshot? Does this mean it could see a sequel due to high tank sales?

 

[Koen]

Is the oneshot a Double Arts oneshot? Does this mean it could see a sequel due to high tank sales?

I don't think so, it's just as an info for the few people who don't know komi

anyway, the cover looks nice and a blind basketball player would be cool

 

[eni]

In basketball? No way.

One of my blind clients is a sports freak and very active. He goes surfing, rowing and loves to bicycle. While he can't do this kind of sports without an helper, it's still possible and the water sports are actually offered by a sports club for blind people, so he's not the only one. I'm especially amazed that he can and loves to surf - blind, in the middle of a lake, just water around you. There's no orientation for a person without eyesight.

Aside from that, our local football (soccer) club has an event each year where the regular team plays blindfolded against a team of blind players. So, I don't really saw basketball as too far away^^

Buuuuut... that's offtopic. Just found it very interesting to add >.>

Is the oneshot a Double Arts oneshot? Does this mean it could see a sequel due to high tank sales?

No, sadly just the usual promotion. "Name, author of XYZ, will publish something new... blah. Stay tuned... blah."

 

[Xophien]

Just felt like mentioning it somewhere: it's Meister. Not My Star. Chapter 02 made that as clear as daylight, no doubt about it anymore i'll explain it more in details in my translation, for those interested >.>

 

[Sexy Randal 105]

I knew it. =P

 

[Finestela]

Got it! I'll be sure to follow that name from now on

[Maxy Barnard]

hmmm mago's a dissapointment this week.....

but on a much different note *waits for randal's glee*

although i have to state now that there's only really the bottom four amongst that 6.... so it could still go wrong for either my beloved sket or his beloved psyren. either way though, BOTH ARE SAFE

 

[predsfan]

What a terrible week for jump . Mago in the gutter, and worst of all, no One Piece this week . Oh well, maybe Bokke-san will make up for it. Furthermore, in two weeks it should be awesome (One Piece color and cover, Komi one shot, Toriko +4). I look forward to that issue.

 

[Koen]

I wouldn't feel bad about mago. Irrc it's even the first time it's in the danger zone. Good to see psyren got up. Though it's better to wait for a full version

 

[Finestela]

Be glad that Psyren isn't down there
And Bleach CP again? lol...
(Well.. though for this week, it's not really a CP, but rather a Colorful Bleach Special... but still!)

 

[StrangerAtaru]

No Psyren or Sket down there is a good thing...but then again, Mago faltering and Neuro down there again isn't.

 

[Finestela]

Untill Mago falls to bottom 5 for more than 4 weeks... I'm not too worried.

ES21's CP position is a bit low. And yes, I'm still standing firmly behind the idea that CP doesn't mean completely unranked. ToLoveRu's CP pretty much proved that to be true.

Haven't visited the new-comer initial curves graph in a while:

The way Bakuman is leveling off seems to be pointing to an better than average performance...
As for Askl, it's following pretty close to the line for Sket Dance... so it might still have a chance! (hopefully)
