Mag Talk Weekly Shonen Jump [2011] - Discussion and TOC Talk - Part 1

[kewl0210]

Yeah. Nice to see Enigma above Bleach and Reborn.
Looks good. Similar to last week. Nurarihyon is doing a bit better. And Toriko's got another opening color, yay.

 

[Divinenega]

Good ToC overall. Mago is out of the bottom 5, if only barely, and Enigma is sitting nice and safe in the middle of the rankings as well as getting color pages next week. All in all I;m pretty satisfied. Of course if Bleach was a bit lower it would have really made my day.

 

[SoulEaterFreak]

Don't know if anyone here saw it already, but this TOC is really similar to the list on the shonenjump page...take a look -> http://www.shonenjump.com/e/weeklyshonenjump/next.html

 

[StrangerAtaru]

I did notice Toriko getting color means essentially the next OP/Toriko "showdown" is held off for another week for those interested...otherwise, the fact that Bleach is below even Reborn shows it's current status...yeah. And nothing really to say except this: make a good sports series (that probably isn't about soccer), Jump!

 

[Asclepius]

People usually say that battles rank higher.
But Bleach had a small battle on chapter 445 between Ichigo and bishounen vilain. Not even the battles are saving this arc.
At least, Ohana is posting spoilers again for Bleach.
^_^

Hello!

I am glad to see Reborn! doing well even without an anime or much promotion.

Is there anyone that has been posting spoilers for current Reborn! chapters? I would like to find someone so that the Reborn! section can be as up to date as the others in regards to spoilers. I hope that it is alright for me to be asking this question. I believe that Ohana was providing spoilers at one time.

 

[BBB Banana]

Mago is out of the botom 5


Even though it's hanging by a thread I'm happy

Well Reborn Spoilers used to come out later than the Big 3 but now we get the scans pretty early and by the time any spoiler poster would release them the scan would probably be out already, I guess thst's why you don't find them nowadays

Amazing ToC all around.

Enigma above both Bleach and Reborn, as it should be. Bleach is still stuck in the bottom half, which makes me respect the Japanese readers even more. Mago isn't in the bottom five this week. And the bottom five itself is probably my best case scenario.

 

[Nayrael]

Pure rankings:

01. Toriko
02. Naruto
03. Gintama
04. Sket Dance
05. Magico
06. Medaka Box
07. Enigma
08. Reborn
09. Bleach
10. Nurarihyon No Mago
11. Inumaru Dashi
12. Hokenshitsu No Shinigami
13. Sengoku Armors
14. Grimm
15. Dois Sol

 

[saladesu]

Mago's out of the bottom 5!!! Like Banana said, it's hanging by a thread (as always ), but at least it's something!

Even if Dois Sol isn't out of the game yet, it certainly seems to be on its way, likely with Sengoku Armors hot on its heels.

Hitting #6 two weeks in a row? Medaka, you have some s'planin to do....

 

[Koen]

Nice ToC glad to see Toriko on the n°1 spot. It is also great to see that medaka gets more appreciation. Bleach? Well, I am curious about the theory that its ratings might below because we lack shinigami...

Oh, a bit off topic, move this to bakuman if you think it should

But do you remember the pictures of all the mangaka? Well Shimabakuro cosplayed Eiji Niizuma on that picture. Current arcs are about Eiji getting n°1 spots for weeks. So me starts to wonder if a reference Eiji and Shimabakuro is made

First of all, I'm interested in seeing that picture. Link anyone?

Second: If that's true, it would be epic x)

 

[saladesu]

Interesting comparison, Koen! I wouldn't put it past Ohba, it certainly wouldn't be the first time he seems to allude to something that is going on in real-life WSJ.

Spoiler: Bakuman 135

Only thing is, I hope that doesn't actually mean Shimabukuro wants to end Toriko in less than 20 weeks

Here is the picture in question, for those interested!

 

[Kaiten]

Bleach? Well, I am curious about the theory that its ratings might below because we lack shinigami...

I think there is some validity to the theory. Looking at our Bleach forum, discussion died the moment the deicide arc ended. I doubt that Bleach will be a repeat of Shaman King, unless Kubo dramatically changes the series. Looking at Bleach from a fans perspective, it has been intensely boring for a while now. He's being punished for making the training arc last an unreasonable amount of time.

Excuse the focus on Bleach. Until Hunter x Hunter comes back, the only Jump series I am really invested in are Naruto and OP, which are pretty much guaranteed to be in the top three. Ikkyuu has potential, but not enough to get passionate about.

 

[k-dom]

I'm sorry Medaka fans, but even if they don't count, make Medaka rank 6 on the fact that One Piece, Bakuman and Beelzebub have a color page is a bit optimistic...
As for Mago, it seems it can be thankful to the new series which fill the bottom 5. Let's hope for it that there won't be to many Enigma or Magico in the future.

If not bakuman, beelzebub, and one piece, it would've been any of the other high tiering manga that often rank in the top 5 like Toriko Naruto or bleach, so it shouldn't matter that much.

Nice picture indeed x)

That would be horrible! Reaaaaally awful! But I don't think we should give it that much thought though

When and how has he done it before btw?

 

[Iron21]

I'm sorry Medaka fans, but even if they don't count, make Medaka rank 6 on the fact that One Piece, Bakuman and Beelzebub have a color page is a bit optimistic...
.

Get outta here with this nonsense, every time Medaka is place near the top, it's always something. The common one is, "Because the other manga have Cp." Why does this always come up when it relates to MB rankings and no other manga? Stop it! Second straight week being in the sixth spot is no coincidence.

Keep hating, and I'll just continue to laugh when it does good, to the dismay of others.
