Mag Talk Weekly Shonen Jump [2012-2013] - Discussion and TOC Talk - Part 4

[AeonCalcos]

Yoekamon and EGG KNOCKER have the highest votes overall.

Vongola XV is also a hot topic.

Stealth Symphony is doing bad.

 

[susanoo13]

1)When you say that Stealth Symphony is doing bad is it doing bad on all parts of the questionnaire or just on the main part of being serialized? (Well Ryougo's stories are not that easy to comprehend and are quite complex but I'm probably saying it as an excuse to myself since I don't enjoy hearing that)

2)Can you see the results that have amounted up till now or are you talking about online forum's opinions such as 2ch?

Wait.. what!?

Yoakemon is also being criticized heavliy for being a rip-off of One Piece.

 

[DestyNova4th]

1790 will be in Issue 22-23. 1800 will be in Issue 33.

1750 was in issue #20 cover last year, with 48 issues annually, 1800 should be in issue 22~23

 

[HalcyonDigest]

Zero, judging from what you've seen on 2ch do you have an idea of what the oneshots are about? I bought my issue but even then I won't really be able to tell what the oneshots are about.

 

[DidCart]

I would love some RAWs from Jump VS.

 

[Divinenega]

I read this week's english WSJ and it seems their going to have Iwashiro's new one shot next week as well. Still wish it was an actual series, but it's nice to see him getting some love internationally.

 

[perroloco]

Wow Kochikame chapter 1800 already, IIRC the chapters don't have numbers anymore, right?? (Like they aren't numbered in the WSJ release, don't know about tankobon).

So in like 4 years or so its gonna celebrate its 2000 chapter, in 5 years it will be JUMP's 50th birthday and in 6 years ONE PIECE should be reaching its 1000 chapter. (probably 7 years since Oda takes a week off like at least once every 2-3 months).

Are there any big JUMP milestones I might have missed?

 

[DestyNova4th]

So in like 4 years or so its gonna celebrate its 2000 chapter

Well, only if Akimoto is able, he's 60 years old actually, it's really amazing doesn't take breaks

About Jump chapters counting, it seems aren't precise:

Spoiler

1200 in issue #10, 2001

1250 in issue #14, 2002 (+53 chapters)

1300 in issue #15, 2003 (+51 chapters)

1350 in issue #18, 2004 (+51 chapters)

1400 in issue #13, 2005 (+44 chapters)

1450 in issue #16, 2006 (+51 chapters)

1500 in issue #16, 2007 (+48 chapters)

1550 in issue #18, 2008 (+50 chapters)

1600 in issue #17, 2009 (+47 chapters)

1650 in issue #14, 2010 (+46 chapters)

1700 in issue #22, 2011 (+55 chapters)

1750 in issue #20, 2012 (+46 chapters)

@.@

 

[perroloco]

lol.. So JUMP basically advertises Kochikame's new milestone whenever they feel like it.. I mean even the issues are different -.-
I definetly can see Akimoto doing it, I mean remember Japanese people have higher expectancy, though I don't think he will continue the series until he dies, hopefully he gives the series an ending before he dies, I personally haven't read it nor watched the anime so I don't know, but I think the series is episodic in nature, kinda like Gintama or Simpsons, so it could end next issue and there wouldn't be a problem, right?

Yep, it is episodic and it often features current events (or at least current events when it was drawn)

 

[kewl0210]

The thing is, they often don't put something EXACTLY on the anniversary because otherwise they'd be limited by other things. Like new manga coming out kinda require it. Manga right before a movie comes out kinda need it, etc. Kochikame's celebrations don't mean it's "exactly that week" just "that's when they're celebrating it."

 

[DestyNova4th]

Oh, well. After check 35 years of ToC's...

1790 will be in Issue 22-23. 1800 will be in Issue 33.

...this is correct! Jump is wrong, but why? Shouldn't be so hard @.@

 

[Zeromcd]

Zero, judging from what you've seen on 2ch do you have an idea of what the oneshots are about? I bought my issue but even then I won't really be able to tell what the oneshots are about.

Not really, sorry.

I get my copy in another 2-8 days, so I'll let you know when it arrives. Send me a PM or else I'll probably forget >.>

Actually, there was one thing that always came up that I remember:

Iron Night spoiler

Spoiler

The main heroine dies

Jump Issue #18 Bottom 8
Sket Dance
Gintama
Hungry Joker
Kochikame
Medaka Box
Rookie Policewoman Kiruko-san
Koisuru Edison
Cross Manage

 

[susanoo13]

Glad to see HJ out of the bottom 5, makes it easier to know which 2 series will get the axe.

Hope they will bring back HXH already

 

[vinceled]

So Hungry Joker is finally out of the bottom five... As for HxH it might come back when the chimera ant arc start (I hope; this seems the most logical)

 

[johannes22a]

I think Hungry Joker and Cross Manage will survive another round. Kiruko will be canceled soon.

 

[MiyamotoMusashi]

Cross Manage is pretty much a goner, it´s really a pity, i liked the topic and both leads

 

[FanOfAniManga]

Seeing how it's absent from the bottom 8, it looks like World Trigger is okay... for now. Bulge tanked three issues after its first ranking, let's see how this one does.

 

[TXC]

Is Hungry Joker getting better? could be one those who get better with time.

So sad to probably see Cross Manage go.
