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

Reading:

One Piece
Naruto
Bleach
Bakuman
Beelzebub
Psyren

Too few.....

I don't read Gintama but I watch the anime. Attempted to watch it mainly because of Sugita's voice and got hooked ever since Man I love his voice. He's really funny. lol

Current WSJ List (in no order):
Naruto
One Piece
Bleach
Nurarihyon no Mago
Medaka Box
Psyren
Bakuman

Never really got into Beelzebub, it has the occasional part that i like, but overall its not my cup of tea, despite its hype and popularity. I also never got into gag manga, i just never really enjoyed them.

Apart from that, I'm very surprised Bleach can keep up with great titles like Bakuman and One Piece. 'Cause this thread's always been (rightly) critical and discerning about Bleach.
Personally, I'm just following it half-assed out of habit.

Logically speaking, we'd have to all read it in order to critically abuse it as we do.

I've always felt a little sorry for Bleach; there are many Jump titles past and present that are worse. I'm personally fond of bashing le Visiteur and Poseidon ^^

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

Bleach is so popular because of Hope. Kubo did GREAT in the first 2 arcs, and now is just getting repetitive.


At least that's what I think. I keep reading it for the occasional good chapter (and rarely great), but that's pretty much it. Hoping it can go back to what it was.

To me, Reborn! was in that 'not as good as before' road recently, right now is constantly delivering.

One Piece is falling a bit but it constantly delivers, Bakuman and Toriko have their up and downs (more ups) and Naruto is idk... it constantly delivers nice chapters, but not great chapters.

Psyren started great, and then went downhill.


The one I always look forward every week is Reborn!, specially now. Basically because I think it's has everything a great shonen must have: Comedy, some mystery (and not those last pages that leave you hangin', more like mystery inside each chapter), fighting scenes (good and not too long ones), story and character development (that happens often and not twice a fricking year) and the last 'suspense' page. Also, characters actually think how to defeat their enemies instead of randomly throwing attacks. It also values friendship and have some soft romantic relationships.

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

As far as Bleach goes, I'm like Xadyu in that I don't like dropping manga even if I think its bad. That is why I still keep up with Naruto too. Worst case scenario, I don't get around to reading it for years.

Not to say I'm unfair. I've given each at least a few arcs to bounce back but they just....haven't. Reborn would probably have been close to them but it got better after the Melone Base attack. Which felt like it was Bleach 2.0 at that period. -___-

Logically speaking, we'd have to all read it in order to critically abuse it as we do.

I must admit, it is nice having a punching bag that I know will keep on sucking and that I can take shots at in almost every week.

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

Uh...I only really read Gintama. ^^;; Sket occasionally, and Beelze ocassionally, but that's about it.

Okay I lied. I read One piece....but I usually just read the spoilers and not the actual chapter. I guess I am just a huge Shogakukan fanboy. (Hangs head and leaves thread in shame.)

 

[Galactic Tomahawk]

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

One Piece
Hunter x Hunter (when it's not on hiatus obviously)
Mago
Beelzebub
Sket Dance
Psyren
Akaboshi
Naruto
Bleach
Reborn
Bakuman

Everything from Naruto down I don't really like anymore, but still keep reading out of habit.

Also been meaning to read more of Gintama, Toriko and Jaguar sometime.

No shame in being a Shogakukan fanboy, even if Sunday has decided to act like Jump all of a sudden. My feelings about that are best left for elsewhere. I'm a Shogakukan seinen fanboy, at least. You'd probably like Mago, Bomber. It's a style of action you normally like.

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

I am reading... nothing. Not one current WSJ series. Makes me wonder why I'm even in this thread. :P I've lost interest in manga generally, though - there are only three series I'd say I read, and all are (now) in Jump SQ.

However, I *have* read (and plan on catching up to one day - just not now): Naruto, One Piece, Bleach, Reborn, Mago (loved that one, too - it was the only other series besides DGM in WSJ I read for a while, and it'd be among the first I'd pick up again), Sket, and a little Gintama. I feel like I know what most of the other series are like just from reading this thread. =P

Now, if Viz brought something like Mago or Bakuman to Shonen Jump, which I do keep up with... that'd be awesome.

 

[Kaiten]

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

VIZ has licensed Bakuman and Toriko but have not said when they will start in Shonen Jump. No Mago yet.

 

[Akiyama]

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

Toriko will start in the February issue and Bakuman will start in the May issue.

Hold on, I know something that Kaiten doesn't know. (lives in this brief moment of satisfaction)

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

Among Jump series Naruto is number 1 in the U.S., Bleach is number 2. One Piece is middling here.
