I dont think so.A series must be seen in the complex,not just from the beginning,but in the whole story contest.So,I think you should wait a little to say if a series will be succesfull or not
Yeah I meant bland and uninteresting first chapters, I wasn't knocking the whole series just yet
What Jump editors think we are? Idiots?
If you think about it, every type of manga has already been done, All the creative ideas have been token, Some have to rely on alittle plagiarism to start something good.What Jump editors think we are? Idiots?
We passed years reading Naruto and they thought that we would not recongnize it.
Sure, the idea of being something was used uncountable times, but everything has limits. If you are saying is true... Too similar for my taste.
Pretty sure Kishimoto had added little new on his own, but whatever. A good part of members here have only started reading manga once Naruto was already being released.
Depends on the level of similarity. As you can see in my post, I said that the concepts of "aiming some goal" was used many times in manga history, but the level os similarity has limits. When more than the concept, but also the characters and elements of the story are also similar, you start to suspect. You have to pick something that was already done and transform it to something that is yours.
Stephen Paul (THE translator), who is going to translate the first 3 chapters, mentioned on last week's episode of the Onepiecepodcast that Roggy has a promising 1st chapter. Im really looking forward to it
Dont editors believe all series have promising new chapters? Why elsewould they get serialized?
Thats great, I hope so, Black Naruto and Kagamigami have been disappoiting with their first chapters
Editor ≠ translator!!!! He might be biased but he is a freelance translator and not employed by viz.
Yes, brother, but the problem is not the clichés, but the way of telling the story. And in this case, the first chapter of Black Joker was almost identical to Naruto. Page by page. Element by element.Pretty sure Kishimoto had added little new on his own, but whatever. A good part of members here have only started reading manga once Naruto was already being released.
Well yes, considering most of us were under the age of 5 when Naruto got serialized... (Or maybe I'm wrong and you guys are actually way older? Anyway, I was personally three-years-old in 1997)Pretty sure Kishimoto had added little new on his own, but whatever. A good part of members here have only started reading manga once Naruto was already being released.
I was hoping Tabata would get alittle original with his work, Black Clover wasn't bad, but at some point you get tired of seeing the same thing over and over again
Chuunin Exam? You are going too too far... In the first chapter it was already clear that Naruto was different. The tendency is getting better, so the first training of the Team 7 was better than the first chapters and Zabuza arc was even better. However, the beginning was already above average. The world building was also remarkable. By the end of the first chapter, we already had the idea of how the ninja world worked, the next chapters until Zabuza arc, the most part of the world building was already done.
I've got another joke. Bleach.
1) Bleach was this way in the beginning of the serialization? I read some chapters of Bleach some years ago and IIRC its pacing was not bad.
