Between those, I like HZ, Yuuna and Saiki, haven't read Samon-kun yet and I REALLY dislike Gintama. Hope it's Gintama, but I think it's only going to end later this year, so I hope Samon-kun dies first. Also, why isn't Isobee an option?

Isobe is at the back of the magazine just like Pyu to Fuku! Jaguar from 2000-2010. It is unranked you could say that.

I guess they'll be cancelling 4 and filling WTs spot. HZ is showing no signs of wrapping up as of the latest chapter. unless it's Samon or Saiki, but I dunno. Don't see why they're they're bothering with Spring Weapon. It's sales weren't even close to Amalgrams. It was considerably worse than the 15-20k sellers even...

Am I the only one that thinks Saiki should take Isobees spot? The series would work just fine with less pages, and Isobee seems kinda in Limbo now. Would make way for a better series.

Wow, it's pretty rare when the main protagonist isn't at least in the top 3. It's ok though because best girl is in 1st.

I find it great when things like that happens and side characters dominate the poll, it just means the author knows how to built characters beside the mc.

 

[HIGAN0]

I am Late.....
Glad to see Spring Weapon high....and finally Amalgam & Demon's Plan End,I'm sure That no one care about them....

 

[ShenGao]

Demon's Plan got axed ten times harder than Red Sprite. I wonder if one of the new series will get axed even harder than both of them.

I wouldn't mind a reboot of Rurouni Kenshin mainly because I still haven't read or watched it even after being told to watch it by my friend for a couple of years now. Would definitely give me a good reason to watch it if it starts from the beginning.

Do you have a link to the article? I couldn't find it myself.

I didn't find the MAPPA part, but I found the part saying Fujita decided on cuting the anime

Translation credit : EasyGo-er at myanimelist

Fujita sensei is credited as "series structure", but what part exactly are you playing?

Fujita: I let them let me decide which parts of the the story to adapt and not adapt. I did that specifically because I wanted to see Ushio and Tora defeat Hakumen no Mono. I proposed it from the start. Cut the unnecessary episodes, and make it a story that goes directly to "Hakumen". Instead it was the anime staff who said "wait a minute"! (laughs)

They didn't want to cut it? (laughs)

Fujita: Exactly. "It's a waste to cut out stories", "I want to do it like the source material" etc. But I felt that, having such a great opportunity, with such great staff, under these circunstances, if I didn't get to Hakumen I would never get another chance for the rest of my life.
Therefore, this time, I made a structure like the Beast Spear, flying straight towards the strogest enemy. There may be fans who will think, "why didn't they do that part!?", but it's all my choice.

That Souma poll , BS .. Alice is the real number 1 :/ , R.I.P DP .

 

[Scruffy8642]

So Ive been looking through the TOCs all the way back to 1999 and thought I'd point out a few interesting things I noticed.
- Only 2 series ranked 1st in their first ranking in that time. Eyeshield in 2002, and Hinomaru Zumou in 2014. Not AC, Naruto, Death Note or Toriko. Just those 2.
- in 2008-2009, there were so many hits, a few series didn't even get covers for their first chapters. Bakuman got a lead colour, but only got the cover in its second issue. To Love Ru didn't get a single cover until quite a bit later on, just a lead colour. Also found it funny how Bakuman made it seem like a series has to get in the top 3 on its first ranking to be considered a success, yet it got 6th XD.
- There were also so many hits that the Covers usually got given to one series, and the Lead Colours to another. That hardly ever happens now...
- The series that got the earliest second covers in that time were Ichigo 100% (On its first ranking), Sand Land (On its 3rd chapter), and Jojo part 6 (1wk before its first rank).
- I might have missed something, but Sket Dance seemed to be the worst ranking series at the start to go on to be a success. It was bottom 5 for 10 or so chapters before jumping.

 

[savethecat]

May be a dumb question, but was Sand Land a mini series or was t just axed

Hurm, isn't that WT got first in the ranking but it never got put at 1st position in the ToC?

A Akira's mini serie.

Hisako's second? Huh..... Would it be too much for me to hope SouHisa gets another moment?

 

[susanoo13]

I thought MHA also got 1st place on it's first chapter ranking, or one of the first chapters.

 

[ChocoBar9]

Nope, I think the only series that got 1st place in its first chapter ranking was Eyeshield 21, Since it began MHA has never left the top .
