I'll try and throw my hat in Rilienthanl, it looks too amusing to pass up. I just need a translator >.>.
Also, while that explains Rilienthanl, it doesn't really explain why no one has touched Shinigami.

from the way i've seen so far, non-action or non-romance mangas usually don't get much attention and often get left out. Kagijin, Medaka, or Nurari got picked up pretty quickly, while series like Sket Dance, Kuroko get left out. people just don't feel like translating comedy mangas i guess. sports are sometimes left out too.
Hokenshitsu is romance-less comedy/schoo-life, so I wasn't really surprised when it got left out.
its kind of interesting how I often see scanlated mangas get axed easily, while mangas that aren't getting scanlated seems to survive on.

Not at all. Every new series that failed since Hoop Men has been in a seemingly safe stop for the first seven weeks, leading people to believe that was a sign they were not in danger. Medaka did, Akaboshi did, Kagijin did...

not really, Wajimania had pretty bad rank in the beginning (before 8 chaps), and Kagijin wasn't that good either.

Wajimania only further proves my point. Its ranking sucked at first and now it never even hits the bottom 5. If pre-8th week placements were still a good indicator of a series' popularity as they used to be, Waji would be where Kagijin is right now. As for Kagijin, if memory serves, it never hit bottom five for the first 7 weeks - it was always in the top ten, in fact.

Re: Weekly Shounen Jump [2009] - Discussion & TOC Talk v.3

here are the first 8 week ranks
Kagijin: 1, 9, 10, 7, 9, 13, 18, 20
Medaka: 1, 4, 8, 7, 9, 7, 9, 10
Akaboshi: 1, 4, 8, 7, 9, 10, 7, 15
Anedoki: 1, 4, 5, 12, 8, 7, 10, 11
Waji: 4, 6, 10, 10, 19, 10, 16, 8

Shinigami: 1, 4, 7, 12, 12, 11, 7
Lilienthal: 1, 5, 9, 9, 15, 10

I by no means think first 7 week rankings tell us anything about future rankings. I just want to point out that Kagijin did have pretty bad rank in the beginning. just by comparing the 7-week ranks, seems like Shinigami and Lilienthal are in a bad position, but who knows what will happen in the real.

by the way, should it be Lilienthal, or Rilienthal? Lilienthal sounds more right to me , but in the real series, they are using "R".

I have a quick question. Does it common that axed series introduce new character or characters on last 2 or 3 chapters?

Well... Double Arts DID get axed two chapters after introducing the "eleven gazelle" - in a chapter named "the beginning", ironically enough. Hoop Men also kept showing new characters until near the end, if I recall.

I haven't touched both yet because I'm not feeling Rilienthal and I actually too busy reading manga to translate one to english.

If you'd really want to, I could translate ch1 from both series, but I'm not willing to do more then that. ^^'

Rilienthal is the proper name. The title is spelled in Roman letters.

No need to worry, I'm already in talks with a translator to work on Rilienthal.
And yeah, it's Rilienthal, I'm pretty sure that's how they have it on the Jump English site as well.

Re: Weekly Shounen Jump [2009] - Discussion & TOC Talk v.3

Just because they have it on their site like that, it doesn't mean it's more right. For example the romanization of OPs protagonist can be seen as both Luffy and Ruffy in official releases.
That said the jap. title has the name of this guy yet I guess it's better to stock with the R for now - well whatever <.<

Pretty lame cover compared to the last one (where Tsuna looked awesome).

Re: Weekly Shounen Jump [2009] - Discussion & TOC Talk v.3

Well, after having my computer pretty much break down, I'm back!! lol been so bored the last few days but anyway...

Glad Mago is so high again. Hope this trend continues and I hope Shinigami fails too. Just doesn't look that interesting.

Reborn cover is pretty lame....

Re: Weekly Shounen Jump [2009] - Discussion & TOC Talk v.3

Not the best cover ever, but it put a smile on my face :-D

Re: Weekly Shounen Jump [2009] - Discussion & TOC Talk v.3

I like the Reborn cover; it's pretty cute. It's also a nice change from the one-guy-looking-badass covers most action series have.

...On that Rilienthal page... I love how the text has "DOGGY" in English...

Re: Weekly Shounen Jump [2009] - Discussion & TOC Talk v.3

What's with Tsuna's ass sticking out o_O? LOL.

It's not the greatest cover ever, but it's kind of funny. Fangirls will go crazy with chibi Byaku, Hibari and Squalo. Sorry, but I have to admit they sure look funny, lol.

Re: Weekly Shounen Jump [2009] - Discussion & TOC Talk v.3

I like the cover. Wack - a - mole. Funny. I think a poll of some sort is part of this weeks chapter.

 

[pandaaqueen]

Re: Weekly Shounen Jump [2009] - Discussion & TOC Talk v.3

Yeah, the results of the popularity poll have been released; and according to cnet's translation, the results of the other poll ("What fight do you want to see most?") will be released somewhere around December/January.

Re: Weekly Shounen Jump [2009] - Discussion & TOC Talk v.3

It's not the best cover but is prety good and funny.

By the way does anyone know when the results of the poll future vs past characters is going to be anounced?

I don't think this week's results were related to that poll.
