I thought the Crimson King oneshot (the cover at least) looked pretty cool.

I think the cover said it was about the Devil or hell or something like that.

BAM and CRASH! Defensive power of the earth vs. heinous space aliens!

If this was a Seinen and had a different art style I'd be excited for this.

This could be interesting actually. Thief's are always cool.

Is it true that before Shaman King and Eyeshield 21 ended, it's rating and sales drop and contribute to it's rushed ending?

For the most part. ES21 never hit rock bottom but it really did plummet after the Teikoku game, either due to people turning on it for the World Cup concept or thinking that they didn't want a series without Deimon as the main focus. SK...well it collapsed too towards the end, but Takei held out long enough for the fanbase to demand and ultimately get his real ending.

What happened to Shaman King pissed me off for years. It is highly annoying to have a series end abruptly like that when it was already close to the freaking end anyway. It is a miracle we even got an ending years later.

Then certain other series that also deal with spirits meander on pointlessly and waste panel space yet still manage to have the undying adoration of the masses. I wish I could find some of the sales figures for the original SK volumes and compare it to some of the more recent series.

Re: Weekly Shounen Jump [2009] - Discussion & TOC Talk v.2

Well, the aggregate sales of Shaman king is quite high, around 22 million copies, enough reason for Jump to release the Kanzenban edition. Bleach currently sold around 50 million. BTW, I can't wait for this weeks TOC. I hope Mago and Medaka doesn't go to the bottom.

For order to start next new series, the editors have to cancel or finish at least two series to start another new series. But, I think currently ongoing Jump series are all damn good, even two newest series had a pretty good start, and I don't know about last new series.

So, I want to know other people's opinion on which series should cancel for order to start new series. Personally, I hate to say it, but Kuroko, Medaka, Akaboshi are in major danger for cancelation because of recent low rankings.

Also, how many people think that Jump should extend the time for releasing new series, and give little more time for current series?

Re: Weekly Shounen Jump [2009] - Discussion & TOC Talk v.2

I don't think they would cancel Kuroko at this point. They have put too much into it and if they'd get rid of it there'd not be a sports series left. (that is if jump needs one <.<)

Re: Weekly Shounen Jump [2009] - Discussion & TOC Talk v.2

why people keep saying Medaka is gonna be next cut?

Akaboshi intends to be a long series but its story is pretty weak, probably editors might give it a second chance which can be the last straw lol.

Kuroko is in danger by all means.

I just found the list for next bottom 6 from 2ch.

小ネタ
・34ドベ6　PSY、とら、めだか、黒子、スケ、赤星
・35巻頭ワンピ　Ｃスケ、銀魂

Akaboshi
Sket Dance
Kuroko
Medaka
To Love-Ru
Psyren

Issue 36: One Piece (Cover & Page Colour), Color Page=Sket Dance, Gintama

It's good that Akaboshi escaped from bottom 5 and Kuroko escaped from last place. But, Medaka drops even more, this makes me sad. Also, I can't believe that Psyren lost to To Love-Ru. I think colour page for Sket is for their two years anniversary.

The ID of the poster was ◆EizHbL83zE instead of ko-neta's ◆EizHb38XPU...

This is a relief because seeing Psyren below even To Love Ru had me going nuts for a second. >.>

Lol...kudos to one of the 2channers who claimed "800 will be the real deal". xD

So basically Akaboshi is dead meat, huh? Kuroko also doesn't seem to get a hang...maybe it's bye bye to team AkaKuro then. Would be okay with me.
Reborn! and Gintama really surprise me (well rather just Reborn! since Gintama and Bakuman are the current yo-yos)...

Re: Weekly Shounen Jump [2009] - Discussion & TOC Talk v.2

What does lead CP mean? Coloured pages or WSJ cover? or both?

 

[Koshi_Inaba]

Re: Weekly Shounen Jump [2009] - Discussion & TOC Talk v.2

Well, that's surprising. Gintama and Reborn dropping to the bottom 5 is sad to see. But again, with the super sales of those two there's nothing to worry about. Mago out of the bottom for four consecutive week is a delight and so is Psyren and Medaka getting out.
Looks like Akaboshi and Kuroko are really in danger.

Ok, so Gintama and Reborn are in the bottom 5 this week hm? Well their sales are so high rankings don't matter.

However, this pretty much is cementing the death of Akaboshi it looks like. Possibly Kuroko after it if the other new series keep ranking better.

I'm interested in seeing where Beelzebub, Psyren, and Medaka will rank this week. Not being in the bottom 5 at least the latter of living long enough to be around in case some of these new series tank too. Also to observe 1st volume sales.

Ah a Kochikame color. I'd have preferred if something else got it but oh well.

I'm curious about this one-shot too.
