It is a matter of taste. It's not like you don't like that it will not make success, we already told you this here.

As a romcom Nisekoi has very good quality.

 

[RafaFedKilla]

The first chapter of My Hero Academia set the premise pretty well. I'm actual a fan of the designs. Looking forward to more. It has the potential to be a Jump staple.

If we could understand what the masses would like, lots of things would be meaningless. I'd agree with you, don't stand that series.

I've read somewhere that new Lead Covers on WSJ are going to be like in Magazine and Sunday, with girls half-naked. Very interesting matter, not even One Piece can save the popularity drop that is occurring in the WSJ. Hilarious movement to me.

Don't even think about that. What makes Jump so awesome is that it highlights what it should hightlight, its mangas. For years Shonen Jump doesn't put photographic essays in its pages. Covers I've never seen one.
Every magazine has dropped your print numbers in the last years, it is not only Jump. However, Jump continues beings the most popular by far, with the most popular series by far. I don't know what are you talking about.

I'd be interested in the source on that. I don't see a point in them doing that given circulation.

 

[101nemesis]

Am I the only one who thinks that WSJ's almost 3 million print numbers is mostly because of One Piece and without OP we'd see possible a print number of only about 2 million or less?

 

[Leoat12]

Maybe. When Dragon Ball ended Jump sales decreased from one day to another and, consequently, the print numbers. Since One Piece is as important as Dragon Ball or even more important, it will have an impact in the print numbers, it's obvious. Shueisha has approximately 15 years to think about that though. Until there, the system can change, print edition can end, etc. Who knows? Therefore, too early to think about what will happen with One Piece end.

I thought so once too but now I doubt it. During the 1 month break Oda took before the time skip circulation only fell 50 000 which is insignificant. Oda also takes regularly breaks and circulation doesn’t seem to be affected. I think the percentage that buys the magazine for just one series (regardless of series) is pretty small.

Bleach ending & anime return incoming?

Fakeity, fake, fake, fake. There's not even an actual source for the info

 

[Nii]

Isn't that just an assumption? The guy/girl writing the post even says that Pierrot hasn't given an official statement. After reading that article...

1. "This entire arc of the 'Bleach' manga has been excellent."
2. "With the plethora of filler arcs taking up time for writer/artist Tite Kubo to get far enough ahead of the show, the enthusiasm for the anime seemed arduous at best but with this final arc of 'Bleach' the quality has picked up immensely and there has been renewed demand to see how Ichigo's story ends."
3. "All of this will really up the popularity of Bleach again, which was arguably one of the most popular animes in the world -- up there with Naruto and One Piece."
4. "With where the current arc is in Japan, the final chapter of Ichigo's story should occur sometime at the end of 2014 and the latest in the first quarter of 2015. So expect news of the Bleach anime returning during the holiday season. It's going to happen, it's just a matter of time."

Wow I really love this heavy bias and the prediction qualities of the person behind the article, amazing!

 

[SharkBait]

That seems to lie directly in line with my expectations and further reinforces the idea for the ending of Bleach to end in the same time frame or even sooner.

 

[Nii]

Honestly, that's only a person writing his/her wishful thinking, there's nothing else in there. Bleach has such an incredibly slow pace that I doubt it's going to end anytime soon, maybe mid to late 2015 at best.
Not that I would mind a faster pace and less silly ways to stretch the story (oh god the zombies... ) but Kubo won't change his approach so late in the game.

???????????

Your previous expectation was for Bleach to end by spring.

Ill still remain bullish on my expectation that Bleach will end before we end Spring of this year.

Then you said Bleach would end in a few weeks in May.

Bleach must be ending in a few weeks as hes finally including such terminology as final battle. I wonder if well be seeing a new battle action supernatural fantasy series added.

You've also said that Nisekoi could end by the time the anime finished.

I think Nisekoi could potentially end by the time the anime resolves are slightly later than that (unless through some way theres some huge explosive popularity), and do we even know if the anime is even closely adapting the manga, seems like itd just do its own thing and its own randomly written storylines.

 

[SharkBait]

Yeah the article says they expect Bleach to end by the latest, end of first quarter 2015, which would be the start of Spring, which is similar to my Spring statement.

You said spring of this year, 2014. All I'm saying is that if you keep pushing back your predicted date of when a series is going to end, you're going to get it eventually. That's how all fortunetellers are. Keep making random predictions and one is bound to be right.

I hope people going for Seraph of the End or Terraformars are also looking on at World Trigger, good display.
