I enjoy BC the most when there are no fights, like the beach or dating chapters. The fights are boring, because Asta and the Black Bulls have the strongest powers. And now Vanessa has Fate Manipulation, which will make the fights even more boring.
Tabata should have made a harem romcom. He draws women in a better and sexier way than Yuuna's Miura.

I don't believe you said such thing, there must be some mistake.

 

[WesKR]

Agreed. The best shounen manga nowadays made by a woman is Magi/Sinbad.

I'm not so sure about that. I would argue that Monthly Girl's Nozaki-kun and Shoukoku no Altair are better than those.

Thats not KHR/elDLIVE and Sekaiichi Hatsukoi.

Yeah yeah you went too far...

 

[Leoat12]

The only thing that's left is someone say that Isobe artist draws Erina better than Saeki Shun.
Then we will have to close the forum and explode the servers with a bomb.

 

[WyldViolet]

But... Tabata is pretty good at drawing female anatomy.
He'd probably do pretty well with an ecchi type romcom if he could draw more than 3 faces.

 

[Leoat12]

The first color page of Black Clover with a girl in a bikini was shocking to me, it was the weirdest color page I've ever seen in my life.

 

[Mammo]

As I said before, they already announced the OP and ED they'll be using in April, so the announcement is probably just saying they're adapting the final arc or something.

I don't remember the tag word for word but it was something like "Rakuyou Arc that made Gintama move to a late night airing is approaching its ends, watch it until the end for a major announcement" or something like that

mal changed the episodes count from unknown to 12 too so it made me suspicious

Me, I ship couples if it's a clear lock on them, like Royai/EdWin from FMA. Crack shippers I don't mind, but if they start taking its eriously, it's when I stop aking them seriously.

I don't care about shippers too, I was just sharing my thoughts on what makes people ship

for the most part unless a fandom does something really stupid (a la Bleach fandom near its end) I don't care what they do

 

[Nakura]

As someone who frequents tumblr, there was a disgusting amount of hate towards the ships when Bleach ended. I can't believe how serious people can be about it.

 

[tirakai]

People on tumblr were arranging petitions and stuff for naruto's ending to be changed purely because they wanted Naruto to end up with Sakura. Hardcore shippers are the craziest type of fans.

 

[TyVip]

. The purple guy is you.

Nakama Ryou draws Erina better than Saeki Shun @Leoat12 .

The Isobe artist draws Erina better than Tosh.

Do you guys believe Fairy Tail could have been a million per volume seller in japan(because it is worldwide) if it was in Jump?

Don't think so. Had this discussion with a friend. FT's anime wouldn't have been as long if it was in Jump and we would've seen a drop in sales a lot sooner (& most likely rankings). I think it would've done worse prob and it wouldn't get a lot of magazine covers too. The competition is too much in Jump, not so much now but before yes.

I don't get why people in Japan still been purchasing the volumes even after all the horse shit writing.

 

[tirakai]

Fairy Tail probably would've ended up as a pretty different series in WSJ, the magazines have a different style to them and the fans are into different things. It's hard to make any predictions either way (it goes the same for how big wsj series would've done in other magazine).

 

[Koi Kage]

Do you guys believe Fairy Tail could have been a million per volume seller in japan(because it is worldwide) if it was in Jump?

I honestly don't think it would've be that well received in jump given how many people complain about deus ex machina within the series already it probably be even worse if it was in Jump. Also, and this is just my opinion, it suffers from Bleach character syndrome where the author made it seem like every named character would be important and the vast majority mean absolutely nothing to the story.

 

[shoyoboyo]

I think one of the reason people still buy Fairy Tail volumes, and long running series in general, is the completion aspect. Volumes are only a couple of bucks in Japan, around 300 yen if I'm not mistaken.

 

[tirakai]

That does make me curious about something though, you occasionally get a quickly cancelled series that people thought was decent but just not a particularly good fit for Jump.

I wonder if there's any wsj flops that could've been top series in Sunday, Magazine, Champion or whatever.

The manga's sales outside of Japan are way more impressive. I remember seeing it was at 35 million in print in Japan last year and then suddenly we got the worldwide numbers and it is now at 60 million. Crazy sales probably coming from Europe.
