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

You mean battle shounen. Any manga in Jump is a shounen, it is not a genre like romance, it is demography.

I have to say , BC chapter was fun , reminded me a bit of Fairy tail ( Kana ).

This opens up the possibility that Black Clover might take Naruto's Thursday time-slot, provided they're not getting rid of it. Its been years since Naruto appeared in the top ten weekly ratings chart even when the threshold was around 2.0, so Black Clover airing there might not really give it a huge boost but again time will tell. While this possibility now exists, its just as likely they're moving around programs to make space for other stuff. Nichigo also ends this Winter 2017 to make way for some other program and MBS created Anisata, a 1 hour anime block airing at 7 am saturday mornings so it all basically falls to who else is in the production committee.

You know, I wanted Black Clover to be Pierrot´s next long runner, so they could forget the Naruto franchise for a good couple of years, and make money with another property, as in the end BC is more a template for an action-adventure children TV series than a manga series with well developed elements. Unfortunately I think that Clover may have a 50 episode 1st season. Greedy bastards, they should forget Naruto at this point

Did something happen with this weeks Issue? Boku no Hero Academia and Black Clover are drawn/printed very rough in a few parts, as if they were just sketches.

Black Clover today was better then expected, hurrah for character development predictions coming true.

Just calling it now but that cat is one of the great magic spirits.

I'm not sure if it's me but the current arc MHA is on seems way slower then should probably be at the start. I'm not saying that this is a bad thing but it feels alot different then what I'm use to seeing i Horikoshi.

As much as I agree that the time for Naruto has passed I can't see them giving up on the franchise anytime soon, not unless the royally screw up somewhere down the line. The point you bring up about having a 50 episode season seems a bit much considering what was available to animate when they probably approached Tabata about the anime, I could be entirely wrong. For its first season 25 episode would be the most I can see happening but realistically it'll probably be around 12/13 episodes.

I guess Bort switching to Twin Star's timeslot eliminates the chance of Black Clover getting it, though it was getting a bit late for that anyway. I wonder when it'll air, daytime would fit it a lot better than a late night slot.

They should forget their prime money maker and TV Tokyo's highest selling franchise to venture into a new property with little popularity and no foresight into whether it'll take off or not? That would be as stupid as giving Twin Star Exorcist 50 episodes and a primetime timeslot.. Also I'm surprised that given its "popularity" BC isn't getting a color page for its 100th chapter next week,

 

[tirakai]

There's an issue gap between Dr Stone and Golf right? What series do people think will get the cover page?

 

[Mammo]

it's BC's second anniversary, so I guess it will get the cover

 

[Mankichi Togawa]

I am very intrigued for Spring Weapon N.1. For now is the only remaining survivor from last group (Demon's Plan, Red Sprite, Ole Golazo, Amalgalm, etc), is ranking better than Samon or Gintama, and even got that 4th place last week.

Still, is the most forgotten manga outside Japan for us. I wonder what will be its destiny.

Oh, nice Ill still have naruto to watch in the mornings, Ill miss it on thursday, unless theyll just reair naruto from ep 1 on thursdays in its normal time frame.

I hope BLack Clover is their next Naruto, hopefully it takes off just as fast, becoming a multimillion selling manga.

 

[tirakai]

I think a series called The Snack World is getting Naruto's current timeslot

I really hope that is not the last time we will see his male version.

Wow they moved it so that a kids anime could take it's spot interesting

Sounds a little bit hypocritic considering that there´s people that want One Piece anime to take hiatusesin order to have better animation, which it´s not likely to happen considering how the audience for the show would decrease. But yeah, Pierrot should´ve stopped with Naruto for a new property. And BC still has an established fanbase if you think it doesn´t: children and casuals

One Piece has taken breaks before and it hasn't effected its ratings at all even when it moved from Wednesdays to Sundays the audience share carried through. They're not going to put OP on hiatus due to animation budget since the audience that watches it don't care about stuff like that.

Naruto is a guaranteed money maker, Black Clover is not, that'll be like cancelling One Piece for Toriko since its newer. As far as anyone knows it doesn't have an established fanbse yet its just speculation and even now its not much for you can say that Pierrot should just drop all their attention n Naruto into it.

 

[SharkBait]

Im quite sure there is significant overlap between Naruto fans and BLack Clover fans.

You can believing that. If there was it would be selling a lot more than it is now.

 

[tirakai]

In the western fandom at least I've seen more overlap with Bleach fans than Naruto fans.

Naruto fans mostly latched onto Academia instead.
