Mag Talk Weekly Shonen Jump [2019] - Discussion and TOC Talk

Question time:

Do you think Boku no Hero can become a million seller?

 

[Ctkk]

That HZ ending really was perfect. Tied up all loose ends, gave laughs, satisfying. Shame it couldn’t have got the extra two chapters in Jump to finish in the magazine (Not like anything worthwhile took its place), but oh well. Perfect run from start to finish and never dragged on. You did us all proud Kawada <3. All the best for the future.

Literally nothing took its place. The magazine was running with one less series for a few issues IIRC.

I'm so happy with Hinomaru's epilogue - it really was the ending i was waiting for in the magazine that got me disappointed when it didn't happen. What an amazing series.

 

[Newkerzy]

Is this the whole interview?

Nice to see Kubo drawing stuff.
Also, I'm fairly sure the MHA in the middle was his idea. He does that all the time.

Didn't Nakano himself state that this is MHA era?
If your magazine's chief editor says that, then it can't be negated by anyone else.

Yeah, I was sort of referring to the deabate a few pages back on whether this is MHA's era, which is just....a prepostrous proposal and isn't really up for debate.

 

[Ryuusei]

Horikoshi seems close with Oda, Kishimoto and Kubo and they all showered him with praises. It makes me happy to see a mangaka that went through rock bottom with two cancelled mangas having a huge hit in his third attempt, with the same series being considered a staple for this decade's manga industry. Horikoshi's come so far.

Question time:

Do you think Boku no Hero can become a million seller?

If anything, I think there's always a chance, even if it's small.

Question time:

Do you think Boku no Hero can become a million seller?

Where it's right now it terms of sales? I believe there isn't much room to grow and I think it will reach its peak and decline a little or altogether.

Question time:

Do you think Boku no Hero can become a million seller?

Not anymore, no. Unless it gets a similar growth sprout from S4. But I don't see that happening.

 

[TyVip]

I think at least 10 volumes cross 1 million already? there your million seller . Just get the backlog do its job.

(yes i know exactly what he meant by a million seller)

 

[4Eyes]

Nah, I feel like BnHA peak has passed already. I (me and myself only) think the arc covered in S4 was a pretty low point plotwise, but if the anime team can make its pacing better I'm all aboard.

 

[Caiops]

Really liked the epilogue of HZ.

No kids, tho

Question time:

Do you think Boku no Hero can become a million seller?

Nope. I stopped reading at Overhaul arc ( wait for anime ) but as I understood it was Kohei first big misstep. And it looks like he made similar thing in mva arc. Big fans might swallow it but broad audience is much less forgiving

If you ask me this is just different kind of push. Rain was right on this one. They do try to make Mha one more face of Jump. But isnt going to work. First of all because it is already is. For another see above. If they really want come close to OP they need someone that can break all the rules while at the same time being true to them

 

[Ctkk]

Nah, I'm sure we'll see dozens of anime reactors bawling their eyes out on youtube during S4. The 'broad audience' is there for that kind of stuff.

 

[Brizzi]

If I'm wrong, correct me, please. But I wonder if we'll have some "Big 3" ou Big Whatever the Number or some iconic series that cause a cultural impact in this era when most anime are divided by seasons. Not that being an anime who runs without hiatus is proof of anything, but it seems to me the biggest series all had animes running nonstop.

I have the impression that being made separated by seasons makes people forget them while they're on hiatus. I don't know, it can be a wrong impression and I'm judging by Brazil standards, where Dragon Ball, Saint Seiya and Naruto keep being these iconic series that anyobody knows, even the ones that have no contact with anime whatsoever.

Not necessarily true tho. AC and Attack on Titan are seasonal. Tokyo Ghoul sold almost a million per volume and that was seasonal. Kingdom was 42 episodes or something a season and it even stopped and now almost sells a million per volume. I'm sure its initial print per volume is 1 million at the very least.
The funny thing is that Attack on Titan didn't have a second season for so long, Kingdom's anime was not popular because of the animation style they chose, Tokyo Ghoul's anime was not liked. And yet all of these still did remarkably well one way or another.
As long as the series gets out there and is something the majority will consume, it can happen. But the MAJORITY need to be in on it tho.

 

[Nemesis]

Did anyone post here the thing with Kishimoto and his first editor with suggestions for Naruto? lol

Naruto’s author Kishimoto reveals what characters’ names would’ve been if editor didn’t intervene

As well as several other incredible saves made by the editor.

The majority of what? I don't think there are any series out there that are followed by the majority of people, or even the majority of manga readers.

And having the majority of WSJ readers isn't enough.

 

[Shinuki no Reborn]

Nah, BNHA already reached the peak in sales, if the best arcs + a movie wasn't able to do, isn't the worst arcs being animated that will make it reach 1 million...

Oh no, there definitely is a hate bandwagon. Even fans from before can dislike a new fanbase and in the worst case it burns them out on the series. I'm not quite burned out but it always somewhat lowers my enjoyment of JoJo when no matter where I go there's always "le funneh JoJo meme!! Haha isn't Dio funny OHHH MAAAA GOOODD". That kind of popularity can really get at the older fanbase.

I have to say, the whole "Crunchyroll Anime Awards" + part of the western fans being a bunch of sjw attacking Horikoshi in his own twitter because some character was drawing wearing a bikini or Endeavor was getting a development, really tested my patience with BNHA fanbase, and for a time i was getting into the "hate bandwagon" with the series but i stopped months ago, still the fanbase can get really annoying sometimes :P

 

[De La Croissant]

I'm kind of busy but every time I check the ToC somehow Neverland has a cover. Must have topped One Piece this year.

And speaking of topping things, from the numbers I've been seeing it seems that Kimetsu surpassed BnHA sales. Manga, BD, popularity...And it only took 1 season. Don't play with Ufotable (imagine if the studio adapts Jujutsu).

Is Yozakura Family already being ranked?

But who are you talking about ?
