Mag Talk Weekly Shonen Jump [2012] - Discussion and TOC Talk

[_Knight_]

the right TOC is OP, Naruto, Toriko, not Naru, OP, Toriko

 

[shezar]

Currently reading(shonen):

-One piece(my favourite for quite a while ,since started reading it i guess)
-Naruto(really want to drop this probably one of worst series right now imo)
-Bleach (enjoying it somewhat recently)
-Beelzebub(manages almost always make laugh)
-Toriko(like the direction that is taking)
-Hunter xHunter(hope the finish during my life time xD,i have few problems with this series besides the Hiatus and the art)

Starting reading:
-Medaka box(so far not bad)
-Gintama(i start and stop,i probably read the begining about 20 times xD)

Thinking of dropping:

Bleach and Naruto- I want see how they end so there no point dropping them now.

 

[Asgaroth]

Did you try the next arc, which is undoubtedly much better and everything before the war?

you don't mean the fishman island arc, are you? it was the reason i dropped the series...

 

[Asuka0112]

Just wondering what will happen next. Their serialization this time ended up with 3 new series and now there are going to be two empy rooms soon. Usually one-shot have only one place and it's a long time to the next serialization.

 

[shezar]

you don't mean the fishman island arc, are you? it was the reason i dropped the series...

One arc made you drop the series?(I enjoyed that arc start to finish overall)

Lol just now i noticed characters that are in picture of your sig Schabrak,where did you find the picture i would like to see it in full.

 

[Schabrak]

you don't mean the fishman island arc, are you? it was the reason i dropped the series...

Of course I meant the one after that because it's obvious that you dropped it because of the Fishman Arc, as that is what happened after the war.

And as shezar mentioned, you read 600+ chapters[20+ arcs], just to stop because of one arc, that's hilariously illogical.

oh you absolutely right, sry!

i dropped it first after the skytopia arc. i began reading it after the war arc neared its ending and read it than every week. i realized that i skip whole text bubbles and thought, it's better to stop now. reading a manga without reading is quite pointless. i will resume it maybe in 2-3 years, if the next "big" thing happens. beside i don't see these mentioned godlike talent in oda. that doesn't mean i think it's a bad manga, only overhyped. i just need to look at his color pages, which are absolute repetitive. i also think that he needs a really long hiatus to get some free time. what i like about op are the mature themes. besides it's childish goal and drawn characters, it has many mature themes like racism and so on.

There's no Gintama next week. Said so at the end of the raw this week.

GIVE US THE TOC!

please

 

[Crude]

I'm curious, what's with all the criticism of Naruto's current chapters? I'm only watching the anime right now so no major spoilers please.

 

[Schabrak]

This isn't the right thread for that, but didn't you stop because of the racism arc, yet you want more mature themes? Yes the Fishmen arc is one of Oda's worst ones in terms of ememy build up, but the next one will please you, I'm sure of that. The old OP comedy-action combi is back again.

I'm curious, what's with all the criticism of Naruto's current chapters? I'm only watching the anime right now so no major spoilers please.

Three-four chapter flashback for an enemy, interrupting two other big fights.

 

[Bomber D Rufi]

Forgot about Bulge. It has promise, but I'm not getting emotionally invested in that series until it gets six months under it's belt, so I consider it dropped until then. Toooooooo much of it seems like so many other shounen that got dropped like they were hot.

Something I realized is that next year would be sorta Gintama's 10th year, and Bleach and Naruto are (thankfully) on their final arcs or whatever. Should be interesting to see what'll happen when they're both gone. (Sorta thinking things will turn for the better.)

Good Cover

Spoiler

 

[redon]

What´s the real ToC and next issue preview?

 

[Kaiten]

What´s the real ToC and next issue preview?

The one that Oberon posted.

A little disheartening to see Pajama on the outskirts of the bottom five. Fortunately it has time to recover; with three new manga (and a mini-series) starting in the last four issues, I imagine there will be at least two or three months before anything is canceled.

I'm curious, what's with all the criticism of Naruto's current chapters? I'm only watching the anime right now so no major spoilers please.

Like Schabrak said, there is a flashback that randomly interrupted a fight. The flashback was for an enemy who was obviously going to be defeated shortly, so it was impossible to get emotionally invested. The hero of the arc is the zombie of a dead antagonist. Another new, never before heard of, technique has been added to the sharingan, specifically for this fight. This fight interrupted the last fight, which interrupted the fight before that.

I failed to mention it when I wrote my list, but I have found Naruto incredibly frustrating. Since the beginning I have not enjoyed the War. Bleach, on the other hand, I have been enjoying. Not that I think it some masterpiece, but the current arc has been interesting.

 

[Negative Syndicate]

The one that Oberon posted.

It didn't confirmed that is real ToC or not, even Oberon said he wasn't sure whether it is real or not. Plus, 2chers are also skeptical about that ToC is real. So, we don't have any ToC with real confirmation yet.

New possibility has uploaded. This person didn't upload full ToC; this person uploads only bottom 5 and preview, but it looks like this person has written a correct information on Issue 26 and there are positive reactions from 2ch. So, I'll upload this just in case.

[matto24]

Wow, to cover nisekoi.
We are strong believers in this manga, but for me it will not last long, the story can only go forward now to gag, and after a little tired.

magico is going through a bad time, but it was already released once, I'm sure it will come out one more time.

so now for some months there should be no drop, so it has time to recover.

I wonder more and more Hq, I do not like it at all.

 

[vampire killer]

wow bleach will have Cp next week. Sweet!! And nisekoi is in the top 5 evry week. It`s normal to be on the cover.

 

[bskbob]

nisekoi is in the top 5 evry week. It`s normal to be on the cover.

getting a 2nd Cover before the 1 year anniversary is very rare these days i think Toriko was the last series before Nisekoi. Jump editors must be very happy with Nisekoi (still we haven't see ohana's toc i wouldn't start celebration already^^)
