I am deadly serious.

I am fine with double tensei ends in 1 or 2 chapters. Mad chad Haga will definitely make the ending worth it

I'm real glad they decided to make him the final opponent. I nearly typed out villain, but honestly, Haga's always been a misunderstood character, and I think him and Sei and/or Tai are going to end up with a pretty interesting bonding moment during this match. He was already on the right path a handful of chapters ago about discovering the whole Tai/Sei multiple personalities thing, so I hope he gets to say it before the series concludes.

Why do that pic and the other one you posted earlier look like they wouldn't be out of place in a ******?

I mean... the manga would be good if it wasn't about shogi. But calling an Soon-axed manga an masterpiece...

This is what most sucks about this, Fukuda created a group of characters genuinely charismatic and their interactions are just gold, Haga is like Zenitsu, that character that start annoying and unlikeable but it turns into something simply hilarious and charismatic.

Totally agree here. I wouldn't even mind of Fukuda's next series basically has characters similar to these ones, just doing something non-shogi related. He did manage to make me go from hating Haga to loving him over the course of the series. Him and Sei both had some pretty nice development given the short duration of the series, same with the others from the Tendo era.

Weekly Shonen Jump

List of movie adaptations of Weekly Shonen Jump magazine series. Things not on the list (like quite a few ovas) simply weren't on Letterboxd. Although it's possible a few were missed this list is pretty comprehensive. Ordered from debut of series in the magazine with franchises grouped together...

letterboxd.com

Decided to update this with Infinity Train. Is there anything else announced since the second MHA movie I've missed? Or anything on the list in general.

Yuuna's last chapter is such a tease, bringing harem plan back and even starting to go into yuri territory between the girls, Miura needs so much to go with Yuuna for a more mature magazine, Jump is totally holding back the manga's potential =/

Also, the special chapter for Mato Seihei no Slave was quite good, surprised that i never bothered to give a look, seems like a good action and ecchi/romance series, at least the Manga Editors are doing the work that Manga Plus refuses to do.

The Yuuna chapter was realistic but it also frustrates me at the same time. Cause I can't see this ending with anything other than either Yuuna winning or a harem.

The advertisement chapter was good. Mato Seihei is a pretty fun ride. It strikes a pretty good balance between action and ecchi, and each element shines in it's own way. It's relatively lighthearted compared to the author's other work (this guy wrote Akame ga Kill and Yuuki Yuuna, after all) and honestly I think it's all the better for it. The characters are pretty cool, and I seriously love the art, as I think it plays a good role in making this series work.

How about KnY: Kyodai no kizuna? It was a compilation of the first 5 episodes and released as a movie before the anime aired.

Doesn't appear to be on Letterboxd.
Oftentimes, compilation episodes aren't included on the site. Sometimes they slip through though based on how someone labels it on tmdb.

Mato seihei slave is great. Love the art

Why not?

Because for the most part they cancelled for a good reason. Even though I think Double Arts was way better than Nisekoi

It was cancelled because it didn't clicked with the audience. However, you don't need to share the opinion of the majority and something that didn't click with 90% of the audience may click with the other 10%

Haikyuu!! collaboration with volleyball player Yuki Ishikawa.

THIS. I'm still bitter about it, but even I wouldn't call it a "masterpiece" per se. I just simply consider it a superior work to Nisekoi. I consider something a "masterpiece" if it's left a long-lasting impression.

Yeah, masterpieces can totally be unsuccessful, or even never receive the love they deserved in their lifetime, so I dig this. The Producers was an unmitigated disaster until Peter Sellers vouched for it, and now it’s a cinematic legend of comedy. Earthbound sold like absolute garbage in the US on release despite a huge promotional campaign, but is widely considered on of the best RPGs ever made nowadays.

i guess the thing is that a series can have a reason to flop, whether due to a missing quality or lack of mainstream appeal, and not be disqualified from being considered a masterpiece. Especially as hey.

hey. That’s SUPER subjective for the most part, even when it has a wider consensus.

Hindsight is 20/20 after all. I think there have been some pretty famous works that in hindsight, would've been a hit if it was released now instead of then.

Kuroko no Basket collaboration with Watanabe Yuta (have played in NBA)

Somebody needs to ask him if he ever name-dropped Midorima to Steph at one point.

I'm pretty sure he's still playing in the NBA, though. Unless I missed the news that he got cut

(BTW, Steph is actually a fusion of Midorima+Akashi+Kuroko+Aomine, now that I think about it. I will be fucking lividly confused if Japan becomes so desperate they'd use the "Maki rules" on Steph)

If Ohba/Obata duo are ending Platinum End; would you want them back in WSJ and if so, what type of manga would you want them to do?

I think Obata will try something different before teaming up with Ohba again. He did All You Need is Kill, Blue Dragon Ral Grad and Gakyuu Hotei between DN-Bakuman and Bakuman-Platinum End
But I honestly don't see them going back to the magazine at all

 

[Roacher]

If Ohba/Obata duo are ending Platinum End; would you want them back in WSJ and if so

No matter for me but if I must choose i say yes. They are famous and experience even if Platina End have some issues.

what type of manga would you want them to do?

Some detective story like Danganronpa.

I don't really see those two getting back to WSJ again either. I mean a weekly series is a lot of work overall and I dunno how fast Obata works but drawing almost 80 pages every month is a lot, especially since he's already 50. Even assuming they end Platinum End in the next two years, I think Obata would most likely either stay in SQ or just move to J+.
Ohba is a different story. I think he could being the writer of another WSJ series but I don't see what he'd particularly excel at.

I could see them working separately for a bit after Platinum End though before they team up again if at all.
