Mag Talk Weekly Shonen Jump [2010] - Discussion and TOC Talk - Part 1

Re: Weekly Shonen Jump [2010] - Discussion and TOC Talk

The problem is that Yabuki wasn't really in as much control as we think. Remember: he went into To-Love as an artist, not as the writer and artist like he was in Black Cat. Therefore the writer seems just as much, if not more, at fault probably with the horrible direction To-Love went into after the first year. I doubt it would have really become a battle manga but somehow if Yabuki had a bit more control of his life that the series wouldn't have just collapsed after the first year from a "nice romance series with fanservice" to "fanservice-mania".

That was a point I wanted to bring up. The only seed of doubt in my mind regarding Yabuki's assumed small role in the planning of the series is that Hasemi Saki was a former assistant of Yabuki's, so he could have had a more mentor-like role then an artist-author team that had no prior working relationship. This is all conjecture obviously.

Even when Lock On! began to be ranked, it wasn't doing that poorly. Now it's faltering and (unfortunately for me) I wouldn't be surprised if it got cut.

Naruto getting a break off before its 500th anniversary? I guess that's better than having the 500th and then taking a break.

I'm kind of worried for Gintama. It's been in the bottom several times lately.

Eh, I wouldn't worry too much about Gintama. I surmise it has a bit to do with the fact that the Japanese seem to dislike serious arcs, (though I'd like to see where chapters 310 and 311 get ranked.) and the fact that it's anime is gone. With the current events of the manga, I sort of see Gintama pulling an FMA next year or the year after, where Sunrise ends the anime maybe a month after Sorachi ends the manga. I wouldn't be at all surprised if they're in talks about story pacing and what not.

Besides, the Shinsengumi haven't done much as of late, which is another reason why Gintama has been hanging out at the bottom. As much as I'd like to say that the series has evolved to a point where the Yorozuya can act without the Shinsengumi around, it seems that this isn't the case. (Not that I don't love the Shinsengumi too.)

About the Psyren light novel, is this instead of a chapter or both?

 

[Akiyama]

Re: Weekly Shonen Jump [2010] - Discussion and TOC Talk

There will be a chapter, they will give more information in detail and when you can purchase the novel. It's not going to be in Jump.

 

[Kaiten]

Re: Weekly Shonen Jump [2010] - Discussion and TOC Talk

They will probably publish the first few chapters of the light novel in Jump before moving it to another publication. Like Akiyama said, they will be in addition to chapters.

#29 (21/06) :

#30 (28/06) :
Bleach (Lead Color)
Gintama (Color)
Medaka Box (23p, Color)
Inagaki Riichiro & Ponjea/ Kiba & Kiba (One Shot, Color, 47p)
Naruto (Absent)

The new series and the removal of certain factors (no OP, Toriko and Psyren colors) seem to skew the results for the actual listings IMHO. I guess since I'm still not sure if they're ranked yet or not, it would probably be like this:
1. Naruto
2. Bleach
3. Beezle (nice week)
4. Reborn
5. Sket
6. Bakuman
7. Mago
8. Shinigami (dead middle...guess it shows how far it's come)
9. KochiKame
10. Kuroko
11. Inumaru
12. Gintama
13. Medaka
14. Lock
15. Yotsuya

Re: Weekly Shonen Jump [2010] - Discussion and TOC Talk

I don't care for most of the top but its nice to see Sket Dance make a jump into the number 5 spot. Bakuman coming right after it is very good too. Beelzebub had 2 great weeks in a row it seems.

*Is happy to see Medaka get extra pages on top of color*

 

[Asarii]

Re: Weekly Shonen Jump [2010] - Discussion and TOC Talk

This is a good week for me. Reborn, Sket Dance (yay!) and Bakuman are doing well. I quite like the Toriko cover. It's really colourful and bright.

Since there are two series that have yet to be ranked plus a one-shot, I guess it does mess things around a bit.

Re: Weekly Shonen Jump [2010] - Discussion and TOC Talk

This could be the perfect TOC IMO if not for gintama being so low.

 

[Foundway]

Re: Weekly Shonen Jump [2010] - Discussion and TOC Talk

Poor Yotsuya and Lock On. Again so low very frustrating.
But great Belze and Shinigami are very high.
By the way does anyone know when is the next cancellation meeting?

By the way does anyone know when is the next cancellation meeting?

I think we can expect new series somewhere in mid july - mid august

Mostly when new series are rated for 3-4 issues then axes are ready to be gone afterwards

There is no koneta today.

Re: Weekly Shonen Jump [2010] - Discussion and TOC Talk

6=Roku=Lock on
4=Yotsu=Yotsuya
It says Lock on and Yotsuya is in the bottom.

 

[CBlitz]

Re: Weekly Shonen Jump [2010] - Discussion and TOC Talk

shame Yotsuya ranked so low...though its good to see Bakuman and Mago on the right side of the middle.

I still hope Jump axes Medaka, shit like that doesn't deserve to be serialized, let alone run for a freaking year >__<

But... Medaka Box is NisiOisiN's... the same author of the series you have in both your sign and avatar... O_O

yes I realize this irony lol. Though just because I like one of his characters doesn't mean I'd like all his works

I do admit that I enjoyed Kizumonogatari/Bakemonogatari but I can't say I was pleased with Medaka since it just seemed like he was messing around when he wrote it. Maybe I'm missing the point of the parody elements but if I wanted a half-hearted attempt at a shounen from him, I would watch Katanagatari

 

[chusetto]

Re: Weekly Shonen Jump [2010] - Discussion and TOC Talk

Seems reasonable... However, I don't think Medaka lasts much time...

Re: Weekly Shonen Jump [2010] - Discussion and TOC Talk

So no color for Naruto's 500th chapter?D:

I guess it will come at a later point,but it would still be nice to get them now to make up for the absence...
