Mag Talk Weekly Shonen Jump [2011] - Discussion and TOC Talk

[Asgaroth]

If I recall, issue #12 had Bakuman over One Piece clean right? It was the oddest day in my life.

maybe they forgot to put one piece on the paper so just a "few" smart kidz wrote it done themself? :-D

While not the most definitive of polls

http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/interest/2011-05-10/goo-poll/which-manga-is-why-you-buy-shonen-jump

kochi kame over everything but one piece, woot

Nice poll. Am glad to see that people are still interested in kochikame with all the other stuff that's out there. I am surprised that Dois Sol made the list though.

 

[salam-daim]

the big info for the poll is kochikame is not included in vote for TOC ... we have doubt about that, now it's confirmed

about one piece, it's get the first place since 1997

only in 2005 naruto surpass one piece ... without doubt in 3 most attractives chapters (that's proposed in vote), I will always add one piece ...

 

[Kaiten]

well the fact that the poll doesn't reflect the TOC is confusing , since both depend on readers opinions... i actually don't understand that , and how did HXH end up there ? i guess it's like what saladesu said...

i just have one question : was that poll for Japanese readers only ?

Because the site is a web portal a good proportion of voters may not buy Jump to vote. One Piece is like Harry Potter, everyone seems to love it, and KochiKame is an institution. People who don't read or buy Jump would have heard of both.

 

[Finestela]

It's actually really easy to explain the differences.

1. As mentioned several times already, the reader feedback weighs the younger male votes much heavier than everyone else.

2. You can see the methodology and the demographic spread of the poll here. As you can see, the majority of the respondents are in the 30's and 40's group.

(EDIT) 3. This poll was exclusively tallying the male respondents, even though there were more female respondents in their raw data.

This is why it will not match up perfectly with the rankings, because the two are weighed differently.

One Piece is like Harry Potter, everyone seems to love it,

i don't know about that. harry potter is popular and known world wide not just in one country ... but sure if you are talking about japan one piece is the most popular ever

 

[salam-daim]

one piece is number 1 in every otaku community, in france and USA, here in otaku cafe, it's the most popular manga

[Koen]

Ha, nice to see Toriko in a second spot. Been awhile it could beat naruto and bleach simultaneously but oh well, going by its ToC, beating bleach isn't difficult anymore I really can't imagine that this is sengoku armors first rank. It is very unlikely that series start away awful immediately but oh well, it is an axe as I kinda feared

And nice that we have a Toriko cover next week

[Divinenega]

Beautiful, beautiful week. I;m glad to see Enigma and Medaka Box above Bleach where they belong and glad to see Reborn in the top 4. Bit sad to see Sengoku Armors so low right off the bat though, and Mago is still pretty low, but I guess everything can;t be perfect...

 

[Jaymie]

Ouch Sengoku. But Bleach's ranking is perfect in every way. Way to go Japan.

We now have 20 series, and 21 if you count HiatusxHiatus.

 

[Finestela]

A bit sad to see Bleach going down as low as it is right now, but oh well.

Reborn and Medaka Box are up A LOT.

First ranking for Sengoku Armors is a bit surprising. If it did get this low, I would think the editors would place it lower in the Ch.1~8 ToC positioning to let the fans know.

What gets on my nerve the most is how Magico keeps getting the short end of the stick, by having the last CP spot :/

hoho what a present for Medaka Box's second year anniversary, above Bleach.

 

[Jaiden82]

Am glad to see Reborn in the top 5 something I haven't seen in a while. Bleach being in the teens is sad for me, most people don't care but I do dammit. It will rise from the ashes just wait and see. Sengoku Armors first rank is surprising, thought it would have done a little bit better.

 

[Asclepius]

Bleach remained in the same arc with the same pace in the last 8 chapters. So expect it to stay like that for the next 8 weeks,till the small fight gets ranked.
I am enjoying the chapters more than Naruto lately, but it seems that the WSJ readers disagree.

 

[StrangerAtaru]

Well Bleach is finally out of the top 10...I say "get what you deserved", but I know how that would get on people's nerves so I won't. It does explain the increased pace Kubo has as of late...but I wouldn't start crying utter collapse until/unless it starts reaching bottom-five level.

Not too bad a TOC this week with Enigma and Medaka tossing Bleach aside and Toriko in the 2-slot.

And KochiKame...yeah, I've said that for years: when you have 35 years in the same magazine, you really are immune to everything. This pretty much should give Akimoto the leeway to just keep going no matter what his tales are. And the whole "volumes sell better than chapters" just reminds me a lot of Archie Comics, where the little mini-digests they have at supermarkets sell more than the comic books.

 

[ZayCon]

Yay for Bleach being that low! Hope it would get Kubo to open his eyes and give us some great chapters again.

Partly agree with you Asclepius. I don't really enjoy either of them right now. Hope they'll get better again

 

[meeedoooz]

i'm so sad for bleach's rank

 

[Rejuvenation]

I love this ToC!

Medaka gets its best rank in weeks and is above Bleach. Bleach outside of the top 10. Also more cushion for the bottom 5 has appeared.

One Piece and Toriko take the 1 and 2 slots. Bakuman was close to the top 5 and we get Sket Dance color. Best ToC for me in weeks.

hoho what a present for Medaka Box's second year anniversary, above Bleach.

A beautiful present it is!
