Mag Talk Weekly Shonen Jump [2018] - Discussion and TOC Talk

I've finally caught up to the latest issue with Hinomaru Sumou and its dumbfounding that this series sells so less. Putting the Pro saga aside, personally Part 1 is close to Slam Dunk in quality. I understand the character designs might be "ugly" as they're stocky and "not-cute" but the art, paneling and overall depiction of the sport is top notch. This is basically a samurai manga. But now I'm even more worried whether the anime staff will be able to fully depict the intensity of the matches.

Would be awesome that after HZ ends, Kawada could follow the same route as Nakaba Suzuki and make a whole genre shift for his next work (from Rising Impact to Kongo Banchoh to Nanatsu no Taizai) a historical manga from him would be the dopest thing ever

Yonkou did a video on the new MHA movie visual.

 

[SharkBait]

omg that Ray faces, hold me. hes so perfect

 

[shoyoboyo]

All my potential complaints about the character designs possibly being butchered have vanished. Emma is still adorable and all of their expressive faces are faithful. I'm getting a little excited here.

 

[nonowa]

I'm actually impressed by how close the Neverland designs look to the manga.

 

[cody]

The character designs are on point, so we have a good sign for now... I want to see them in color.

 

[Avok]

Great character designs.

 

[ChocoBar9]

Rough draft character designs are always going to be on point so it doesn't really matter. Whats important are the key visuals and how it looks animated. BCs character designs were on point but looks incredibly bland and washed out animated.

Wow, those character designs may as well have been drawn by Posuka herself.

In other news, if/when KnY get its anime announced, only 5 Jump series over 100 chapters long since the year 2000 will be without a proper anime (if you don't include Jojo 5 & 6): Isobee, Inumarudashi, Psyren, Mr Fullswing, and Jaguar, though Isobee, Inumaru & Jaguar all got shorts of some kind and aren't necessarily suited to a proper anime.

Bigger Neverland lead color page

They're not nearly as detailed and are lacking the rough outlines.

 

[Nemesis]

Oh, they changed the design for the preview. It's much better now.

 

[Doughboy]

isn't it basically a given the movie only chick will fall for Deku, remember how in every Naruto movie by the end the chick wanted him:

One thing is for certain, Posuka's designs will be a nightmare for animators. At least they didn't fuck up the first step. Rough character designs really aren't always on point for manga adaptations.

What's the last color page?

 

[ChocoBar9]

That's what concerns me with Kimetsu, they will have to clean it up for animation and the manga will lose its unique style as a result.

Rough character designs really aren't always on point for manga adaptations.

With the exception of stuff that needed redesigns for animation like Jojo and HxH its very very very rare for them to fuck them up since they're just rough drafts.

True, like Ballroom e youkoso's character designs.

There was nothing wrong with those character designs.
