Good to see Ane Doki elude the bottom 5 this week as well.

Medaka seems to be back in it's regular position. That sucks because I've really been enjoying it lately and I want it to do decent at least... I really hope that this escapes the axe but I'm not holding my breath.

Cancellations are probably set at this point: Akeboshi, Kagijin, and Medaka. If Wajimania goes, and by no means do I believe that is guaranteed, it will be the fourth cancellation. I don't believe it will save one of the other series.

Awww, and there I thought Reborn! was special Dx

Meh, I'll just think that since our month was so successful (and the first one) they decided to do it with other mangas as well. Works for me!

November is Gintama month???
whats up with WSJ these days. is this going to go on and on?

It may be that Shueisha is really trying to promote Reborn and Gintama into top tier series for when Naruto and Bleach make their exits from the magazine. Just a thought.

Seems Kagijin and Akaboshi aren't doing any better.
And I'm glad Wajimania is low where it belongs...

And great to see Gintama getting a month of colors. If I know Gintama they'll make some comment on it in the actual comics.

Yeah probably...I'm sure Sorachi is bitching up a storm. He seems to hate doing anything more than the norm, and now they've shoved a month of color down his throat. I've been to 2ch now, and no one has mentioned any scoops like Reborn, so I have to wonder if this is just a month of color for the hell of it....?

Though...I wonder what kinds of announcements Gintama would have for that matter...? The movie rumor suddenly starts to make sense though.

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

If Gintama's movie was true, I hope Sorachi be part of making a movie.

Also Akaboshi and Medaka are low again, but I'm still surprise that they able to stay this long despite of being low ranking. Usually, the series with low ranking unlikely to reach 20 chapters. I'm feeling like the editors are taking little bit serious about Ohba's (well he's the one who is charge of plot-making) criticism on Jump's cancelation system.

The only reason they lasted so long is To Love Ru ending so suddenly. Jump didn't suddenly become Weekly Morning. There will be series canceled in November, there will be new series starting in December. Kagijin and Akeboshi are guaranteed to be canceled. Medaka will too, unless they decide there are not three new series ready to start serialization. Since that is not likely those three are almost as good as gone

Yeah, I don't believe Jump has decided to be any less cruel with the new series they bring in. Ok, I guess the pimping of Kuroko and Beelzebub may sway that slightly. Any new series that aren't those two are still just as vulnerable to death.

But really, I'll probably stop giving a shit about anything new that comes out from December onwards. Maybe I'll bother to pick one up when it lasts longer than a year or seems to be highly favored like Kuroko and Beelzebub.

I don't think To Love-Ru's sudden ending and D.Gray-man's re-location saved Medaka and Akaboshi. Even To Love-Ru's ending, the editors can still axe either Medaka and Akaboshi or both, and put more new series in rather than two.

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

I'll always read new series. No harm in giving them a try. I haven't grown attached to anything new since Beelzebub. Beelze and Kuroko got pimped because they did really well right away. Double Arts eventually tanked anyways but it started in the top five and got some extra color and covers because of it. Mago got extra color early too.

Well, with Gintama's OVA being the highest selling this year, it's DVDs selling really well, and the anime even getting really good rankings:

Maybe it'll get it's long idolized movie version.

So... whatever that means. Live action Japanese movie Gitnama???

They can't axe something if there is nothing to replace them with. Only two series were judged ready for serialization, there was no need to cancel more as ToRa and DGM were leaving, so they didn't cancel anything. Somehow I don't think there is any reason to believe Jump has changed business practices in the last three months.

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

I tend to read everything from Jump (still catching up with older series, now reading Yugi, Ichigo 100%, Slam Dunk and Hoshin Engi), but I love to start new series of Jump.

I don't actually know why, but then again, I hate to see them end so quickly (cause almost all new series do.) Only new series I liked so far (of this year) was Meister, I loved it instantly after reading the first chapter, 9 chapters later it was finished. ;-;

Bokke-san was intresting, but not my thing, Hoopmen was great, I thought it just wasn't Jump-material, which is too bad, cause it could've gotten a long-run in another magazine.

For the rest of the series, I enjoy all of them while reading, but in the end, they aren't that good, in most cases, the best thing about them is the art, like Akaboshi, Beelzebub and Medaka, great art, mediocre manga. I never saw anything about Wajimania, but Shinigami and Rilienthal's art are also okay, I don't know about the story's tho'.

Just hope that Q4 2009 and 2010 bring us some better new manga's.

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

I'm crossing my fingers Komi Naoshi is back and that Matsui never returns. He deserves a better magazine. I would die of happiness if he went to IKKI or Manga Erotics F. I'm smiling just thinking about what type of crazy, trippy, warped manga he could do there.

 

[Negative Syndicate]

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

Well, the fate for Medaka and Akaboshi are depending on how they going to sell their reprints, which I think they'll be releasing this week.

Who's Matsui again? I only tend to memorize the first names of authors, so...

And I most definitely would like to see Komi back in action, I loved all of his work, he's a true genius. Let's hope he will be serialized for quite a while when he gets back.

Nougami Neuro's artist.

And Yeah I agree with Kaiten. He could do WONDERS in a non Shounen mag. Sure I'd never be able to read it, but I'd love to see him unleashed as it were.

I'd also like to see Sorachi in a seinen once Gintama ends.

Probably not live action, probably just distrubuted through WB. And there's no real indication that they're actually going to do it. It's just in case they FEEL like it. For now they're just taking time out to maybe register a site, just in case talks for it actually go through, and everyone wants to do a Gintama movie.

...Not that we'd see it in any non Asian country anyway....hell we've got to deal with CR and their crappy translations to see the anime regularly. Doubt anything extraneous like a LA movie will see the light of day here.

 

[kewl0210]

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

Yeah, well people would rip the DVDs and fansub them like they did with things like the live-action Death Note movies.

Anyway, we'll see if and what any announcements might be.

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

I say Matsui goes seinen or at least Jump SQ by next year. He's too weird for conventional shonen from what I've seen of him.

Meanwhile, something that just came up in my head now: while we're talking about December/January being the end of stuff like Kagijin and Akaboshi, it will also be the 1st anniversary of Kuroko. Not really that bad a start for it...though the last sports series to make a year was P2...
