Mag Talk Weekly Shonen Jump [2017] - Discussion and TOC Talk

Somebody said that for a "monthly series" with less stress the quality of the story improves (or something)... Well I'm still waiting for that plot twist on Platinum End.

But so far it's the worst series by Ohba and Obata.

 

[xAsum0x]

Call me messed up, but i found that dog scene more emotional than Deku's over-exaggeration emotions in the 1st chapter.

I don't know what you mean by an over exaggeration, but that's also a personal preference. I'm saying if you do what he said to do, and compare them side by side objectively, Black Torch doesn't even come close.

 

[Leoat12]

Oh, come on. The only hyperbolic thing said was that it could be FMA-tier. Everyone else was just saying it was good, and that there are Bleach similarities. That's not hyperbolic.

One chapter is not enough to compare a series with ANY other series, be it FMA or Bleach, it is just too few pages.
And by the way, it is a SQ series, not a SJ series, so we are the wrong thread. It is better stop before the staff hunts us and put us in a stake. XD

Pretty random question but does the mangaka have any say in which studio animates his/her series?

The mangaka for 3 Gatsu Lion said she wanted SHAFT to handle the anime adaptation for it. Really it depends on how much they sell their intentions to investors for it to go to the studio of thier choosing but most of are thrilled to even be adapted to begin with so they aren't particularly picky.

yes, ahiru no sora mangaka declined many anime adptations

So by that logic, the people who said the first chapter of Black Clover was similar to Naruto were... incorrect?

 

[tirakai]

I always found Academia's first chapter pretty weak, it introduces the setting well enough but Deku sucked in it and the other characters were all pretty annoying too.

 

[Nakura]

Again, it's pretty subjective. I thought MHA's first chapter was really strong. It struck a cord with me emotionally, and I really liked Izuku in the first chapter. I thought the art was full of energy as well.

 

[xAsum0x]

How did Izuku suck? Did you not like his personality? Because that's something totally different.

 

[Avok]

To me the first two episodes of the anime where pretty meh too, your average first chapter.

I wouldn't say incorrect, more imprudent... Now we know that Black Clover is a patchwork meant to be appealing to everyone that put his eyes on it.

 

[shoyoboyo]

Black Torch's first chapter was great, hopefully the Edited Manga group continues to release the chapters as they come. I can definitely see the Bleach comparisons, especially the art style. The main character kinda looks like how Kubo would draw Souma from Shokugeki. Also, I wonder if it will go the Bleach route. They outright declare that Jirou is important for everyone, which is basically what Ichigo was. Hopefully the story isn't just a recolored Bleach.

 

[jagman1x3]

PSA to everyone, unless it's somehow about WSJ (comparing it to Bleach doesn't really count), anything about Black Torch should go in the SQ thread. I haven't read it yet because my magazine issue won't arrive for another few days, so if I have to go and manually move a bunch of posts with spoilery stuff in them I'm going to be fairly annoyed.

The way I see it, if I had been following MHA since the very first chapter, I wouldn't have been immediately interested because it didn't introduce elements that moved the story along right away. It did well in establishing Deku's character and the tone of the series, though. If anything, the reason the first chapter looked more like a one-shot to me is mainly because resolves the self-esteem issues Deku had that was earlier established.

But that said, I don't regret the ride I've had with MHA all the way. It was chugging pretty slowly at first, but once I got past that, that was one hell of a ride I've been in.

Not quite. It's not wrong to compare series, even if only by it's first chapter. If the one and only chapter that a series has until now has many similarities with Bleach, it's not wrong to compare it with Bleach at all. I seriously can't understand the reason you shouldn't be able to compare only by the first chapter, seriously.

Really? I thought the way deku's character was portrayed and how he wished his mother and others had not given up on him achieving his dream was really well done.
I really liked how deku was shown to be grabbing onto his bag/his chest when crying at the end. It really brought out how big of a deal it was to him to hear those words from someone.

But maybe that was just me.

I agree with you, but that's probably because you and I aren't bothered by Deku's character archetype in chapter 1. Its the main issue I see after just reading some peoples reaction to the first chapter. I've come to understand that some people just cant stand certain personalities and it ruins their experiences, and I think that's perfectly OK.

 

[Doughboy]

I'm on the side that I thought MHA's first chapter (well episode since I didn't start the manga till Chapter 21) didn't do much for me. Before even reading MHA I saw Deku's character design and thought I'll probably like him. The first 2 episodes were lowkey annoying and didn't paint him in a good light for me. He always cried, I mean the stuff with his mother was done great but his character was soft, always tearing up and I didn't like that at all. After he got his quirk and was training he became my favorite character instantly. I think MHA doesn't pick up till after Episode 4.
