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

[WyldViolet]

Wow, it's nice to see how much Kimetsu has grown, especially given the humble beginnings it came from. Honestly, early on it seemed like something that would have been axed 12 chapters in given the questionable art and average start, but I'm glad it was given the time to grow into what it is now. I didn't expect an advertisement that big. Could anyone translate what the panels say?

Had pretty rocky rankings early on as well.
Happy to see it slowly rise to what it's becoming.

The wedding backfired and the Tengu will have to follow him forever

It will be glorious. 90% I think it will happen.

im surprised no one posted this yet, MHA season 1 got a rating of 4.40 average which includes DVR and TV ratings.
It did a lot better than we initially thought.

You can't simply add DVR and TV ratings though! Both are measured totally differently.

Soul Catcher(s) brah is not going to disappoint, after the Giga oneshots dropped the ball.

 

[tirakai]

Looks like the second chapter of the Reincarnated as Yamcha thing is up on Jump+. I see it's also no 4 in the weekly rankings, does anyone know when exactly the weekly rankings get updated? I'm curious if it's high due to people reading ch 1 knowing ch 2 comes out soon or if ch 2 is showing in the rankings already despite just releasing.

I thought the Kubo/Matsui interview was going to be in the third issue. Is it in the second issue?

From what I remember, whoever said it was in the third issue read it wrong. It said it's the third Giga interview (counting the one from last year), not that it's in the third issue.

 

[Mammo]

old preview

 

[shoyoboyo]

So it's coming out this month, right? Hopefully there's some info on a possible new series from each of them. I'm especially interested to see what Kubo has to say considering the drama surrounding the ending of Bleach.

Wasn't that last year's issue. I think the interview was already released

No, the interview hasn't been released yet.

Japanese fans voted for Jump's best artist. Source: ANN.

1. Takeshi Obata (Death Note)
2. Akira Toriyama (Dragon Ball)
3. Takehiko Inoue (Slam Dunk)
4. Tsukasa Hojo (City Hunter)
5. Hirohiko Araki (JoJo's Bizarre Adventure)
6. Masakazu Katsura (DNA²)
7. Eiichiro Oda (One Piece)
8. Hideaki Sorachi (Gin Tama)
9. Tetsuo Hara (Fist of the North Star)
10. Shun Saeki (Food Wars! Shokugeki no Soma)
11. Yuusuke Murata (Eyeshield 21)
12. Kentaro Yabuki (To Love-Ru -Trouble-)
13. Masashi Kishimoto (Naruto)
14. Yoshihiro Togashi (Yu Yu Hakusho, Hunter X Hunter)
15. Tite Kubo (Bleach)
16. Akira Amano (Reborn!)

18. Buichi Terasawa (Space Adventure Cobra)
19. Haruichi Furudate (Haikyu!!)
20. Katsura Hoshino (D.Gray-man)

In my opinion odd choices: 1) Togashi above Kubo/Amano 2) Murata should be higher

 

[Nakura]

Not sure why Sorachi is so high. While Gintama is a good series, the art is nothing to write home about. Then again, never take these polls too seriously.

 

[savethecat]

My top artist,In no order(Although tbh I would put Murata at #1) would be

Murata
Oda
Toriyama
Kubo
Tosh
Inoue
Obata
Horikoshi
Togashi

 

[Nakura]

My top 5 would be:

Obata
Inoue
Toriyama
Murata
Horikoshi

Is there some sort pun hidden again? Because after the WSJ Female Lead-Poll, I really cannot trust those again. Especially, how much japanese people love puns after all.

But if I have to give my opinion on this-
Weird seeing Kubo so low. Should be more mid-list-tier. Toriyama is definitely 2nd place, bc dragonball and less bc his artstyle. For me at least, it isnt that special. Hirohiko Araki is a difficult one. Some parts of JoJo looking damn good(especially Part 7). Don't know if I would put him so high, but still.
But Obata? Yeah I can see it. Though in the end it's just a poll & it is based of opinions, but his art is definitely one of the more prettier ones. At least, I dont mind this.

 

[tirakai]

I remember Kishimoto (I think it was him at least) talking about Toriyama's art in an interview, saying it was one of the first to really amaze him in how good it was or something along those lines. Dragon Ball's popularity is probably part of it but I'm pretty sure his art is genuinely very highly regarded.

Even now his style is really distinct and easy to recognise, despite essentially being the direct inspiration for an entire generation of mangaka.

Araki (Jojo's Bizarre adventure)
