Mag Talk Weekly Shonen Jump [2015-2016] - Discussion and TOC Talk

if you mean the San Diego ComicCon one then that was not even a official award, it was basically the series, panelist(Not the whole public) choose and voted for, and its also judging only from the official release in english(that is rarely caught up).
(So Black Clover was judged the worst manga by them solely because of volume 1, the only one out in English at that time, it was probably the cliches that resulted it into getting the votes for worst manga)

Chris Butcher, with Deb Aoki, David Brothers, Eva Volin and Brigid Alverson were the ones who decided that , so basically 5 people.

I'm not arguing over the legitimacy & the validity of the award
I'm talking about how people reacted to it

 

[Ihore]

I wonder if there will be a GFC this year or it will be like 2013.

 

[perroloco]

@perroloco thanks for the list. You have a few series there from the 70's that I haven't hear about like Ring ni Kakero. I'm also interested on those older titles, to see what Jump was back then...

@lobito180

Sadly Ring Ni kakero hasn't been fully scanlated and not even the anime OVAs are fully subbed in english..
It's considered one of JUMP's classics and it was definetly a fun show to watch, it's so full of cliches that it makes you laugh sometimes, but just remember that this is the manga/show that started a lot of those cliches..
Heck, even in one of the last battles of the manga

Spoiler

one of the protagonist fights against the World Champion, Jesus Christ from Israel, whose attack is "Neo BIBLE"

Here's a pilote that was made before the actual OVAs were released (it contains spoilers for all of the series, they basically put some fighting scenes from some fights from all over the manga, but to be honest you probably won't be able to find Ring ni Kakero translated to english so you can watch it if you want to) it's got very good quality (The OVAs looked pretty meh in comparison to the quality of the trailer), I know you can find it subbed in english if you look for it, but this one is RAW

So things are going to be much different without Bleach, right? Though I can't say it wasn't coming since Kubo got more than enough time to finish the main story. I'm just going to look at the last chapter in a few weeks with low expectations since most WSJ endings had a history for being decent or bad when rushed. Reborn's being a perfect example.

I don't see why things will be any different. Bleach hasn't been relevant within the magazine for a long time now.

You may be right. Bleach certainly has lost its relevance for a while.

Not like it's necessarily a bad thing since One Piece can keep the magazine afloat for as long as it wants. Well, next to some decent successes like My Hero Academia and Haikyu!!. I for surely can't wait to see what the future of the magazine would be like in a few years from now.

 

[savethecat]

Any scans for The Promised Neverland chapter 2 leaked yet?

--- Double Post Merged, Aug 5, 2016, Original Post Date: Aug 5, 2016 ---

And things are looking pretty bad for Takuan and Batsu

 

[Azure Warrior]

The Promised Neverland is quite the intriguing series. Some may say the ending was predictable but it certainly caught me off guard. I don't see why many argue this is the darkest Jump has been when the likes of Death Note and Hunter x Hunter existed before (especially the latter with how grisly the Chimera Ant Arc was).

If only I can concentrate more when a certain kitty stays off my keyboard. lol

Naruto's end made almost no difference. So I'd imagine Bleach's end would do nothing. The only series that would have a major impact is One Piece, obviously.

Ah, the day we would finally see Luffy as Pirate King. That definitely has the potential of the best manga ending known to man. That I can agree with.

Too bad I will probably be a father by time that happens. But who's to say I can't make my kids read One Piece from the beginning to experience how their old man followed the journey of Strawhat Luffy since childhood?

[Scruffy8642]

Wow, My Jump sounds awesome! Depending on how much it is, I may do it for the series that aren't getting scanlated or are behind that I'm interested in.

 

[Mammo]

If anyone is interest, the list(Weak week in general without Shonen Jump rival )

you missed
35. Densetsu no Yuusha no Konkatsu
& not sure why did you include yuna & kimetsu's old volumes but nothing else old volumes

MyJump Initiative Information, releases 8/8:/

that sounds cool

 

[Xzone]

I put Kimetsu and Yuna because they are news and a jump like samon-kun old volumes when they anounce the director of osomatsu liking the serie . OP , HxH or a series who still chart after a month is nothing new.And I forgot Densetsu, thank.

 

[Azure Warrior]

Congrats to both Kimetsu and Yuuna-san for their increasing sales of the second volume. I can say these two have been interesting me since their introduction, especially that latter. That's part of what got me discussing it in the Naruto Forums (Yes Rica, I'm the same guy with the Takamaru avatar). It's been so long since we last had a successful harem manga (though it's a bit early to say that unless it gets more volumes) when To Love-Ru was a thing. It's definitely got that great mixture of lovable characters and funny moments to compliment its fanservice. I kind of want to see where the plot goes in the future though I don't mind the more episodic approach it's going for with this subplots.

As for Kimetsu, it was kind of a pleasant surprise thanks to the tragic intro of the manga with Tanjiro taming his sister despite her demonic influence. It sort of gives me Rurouni Kenshin vibes, except the missions are actually a bigger focus and pacifism isn't the main theme. I have some favorite characters here and there (especially the nervous pale haired boy who could be related to Hakuba lol). The art is the least of my problems, so I find it unique in its own way. Shame folks are putting it down just because of its art style. Though I see some of you discussed that point already, so talking about it again would be kind of repetitive.
