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

[StrangerAtaru]

For those who don't think Gintama can beat Bleach, just think about this: the arc of Gintama that's currently being ranked is both a comedy story (which are always popular, sometimes more so than the actiony stories) and involves the Shinsengumi (who are fangirl bait). Considering those and Bleach's recent lowering (though not as much now they're doing Ichigo-esque chapters), it is feasible for Gintama to rank higher for a few weeks over Bleach.

 

[DeidaraGrimmjow]

I did not mean it was impossible. Maybe one or the other occasionally, but both at the same time? I'll have to see it to belive it. Especially now that the Ichigo/Ulquiorra fight is under way.

Since One Piece is on hiatus next week, will it still be ranked in the TOC? Or would that throw off the order or something?

I was wrong about that Beezle Baby thing. A raw is out already. That was quick. Let the sub-par manga begin...

 

[Galactic Tomahawk]

I like it

hope it sticks around.

No chapter means no rank. Essentially aside from Hoop Men (new), Beezle Babu (newish) Kuroko (ranking but removed...though surprised it's getting yet another color so soon) & Inumaru (semi-new but removed for the week), everything is ranking but OP, which is absent.

yeah let's let the thing that you've yet to be able to form an informed opinion on begin......


anyway looking over beelzebabu/bub it's looking pretty tight. art's kinda like a more relaxed psyren (no means a bad thing) combined with some great over the top eccentricities.

okay finished it now (reading it WHILST posting? MAD MAN!) and i'm officially stoked

 

[DeidaraGrimmjow]

I already looked at the first chapter. And just as you are stoked, I am dissappointed. For now anyway...

 

[◆ T.D.A ◆]

At least Naruto gets to stay at No.1, for the second week running.

 

[Maxy Barnard]

unless it doesn't. ya never know when toriko will pull itself above once in a while

 

[Koen]

I already looked at the first chapter. And just as you are stoked, I am dissappointed. For now anyway...

I don't agree with that... It's only the first chapter but the main character and that funny looking baby were already good enough to me. I look forward to more, based on this first chapter. I certainly don't expect this one to be translated or scanlated because this is the type of series that doesn't get the attention

How can the art be compared with psyren relaxed?... Maybe I haven't read psyren or I missed something but psyren's art and this new one is completely different imo.

Anyway let's see what it'll give some will enjoy this, others won't... but this one started good

It's sad really. It looks interesting, yet I hold no expectations that it will get scanlated. I'd settle for I trans, but I doubt anyone will do it.

So no One Piece next week, huh . That just ruined next week for me. I hope that means colors again in two weeks (though, I hope D. Gray Man gets the cover). Maybe Hoopmen will make up for it (but I doubt it).

 

[Maxy Barnard]

it's characters like kabuto or amamiyas faces that i kept seeing hints of in the main dude and the gothic lolita girl... i dont know if thats just my lack of artistical analysis but at times i was like 'this guys either worked on psyren or sket dance a while' just from some basic things

EDIT: have some faith that the first chapter will be touched, inudash got that priviledge despite early pannings from people on here (mainly cause the jokes hit flat mosta the time in the chapter, the authors previous bumhat maison du penguin, and the uncomfortable pantlessness) so beelzebabu should do too

Ah sorry completely misunderstood you. I thought you were talking about the complete art.

Yeah, I know. Now you talk about it. I reread it and I know that feeling. Kinda like most people (except my mate) don't understand me when the facial emotional (when they are in serious mode of course) expressions of psyren characters do remind me of toriyama and dragonball.

 

[Bomber D Rufi]

Read the Baby-satan first chapter (Okay I'm bad with names....) And I did rather enjoy it. Nice art, very reminiscent of Gintama//Psyren//Ueki. (With the lead heroine looking a lot like Yako from Neuro.) And an interesting premise. Though I'm probably not going to put this in my 'consideration' box for now, because of my staunch opposition to Jump, and the fact that I'd rather not do three gag series.

I hope it does get the attention it deserves, and lives a while.

 

[GARusashi]

So is Beelzebub a complete comedy series or does it sort of hint at becoming more serious eventually? I'd kill for a series about Demons and what not in JUMP (I love the whole Satan, Beelzebub, Lilith, etc thing.)

 

[Maxy Barnard]

complete comedy series with action involved by the look of it. so a hybrid but not in the standard way

 

[Galactic Tomahawk]

Had more of an action element than I expected after reading the Oneshot but for now it's primarily comedy. The action seems like it's there so the author could go either way if he wanted.

 

[xi0]

Aha a good reason to bring some input in our section. I remember you gave it storyw.i.s.e. more chances/credits than mieru hito. Imo it deserves to be in jump for a while. This leads me to an unanwsered question you might answer: how many chaps did mieru hito have in total? I remember it had its char poll and the chapter after the poll it was cancelled

No, I think I said I preferred Mieru Hito's vibe to Psyren's initially, but I think it's clear now that Psyren has much more direction than Mieru Hito ever really had. Mieru Hito will always have a fond place in my heart, but Psyren has surpassed it.

And it had 7 volumes I believe.

Bombeeeer ;_; I hoped you'd do it, since you're already indulging your masochistic self with other gag series, I thought you'd save another translator from the horror of having to do it >.>

FINE! I liked the chapter, and this could be an opportunity to get away from that "sports manga translator" tag >.> Can't promise I'll be fast, but I'll probably give it a try

[GARusashi]

ugh Eyeshield really beats out Psyren? And Bokke in the bottom? That's a horrible ToC. Hopefully they give Bokke at least another volume to do better, I mean they gave Asklepios more time, and that was a pretty unknown manga-ka.
