Mag Talk Weekly Shonen Jump [2021] - Discussion and ToC Talk

[BX-02BLODIA]

All Mangaka (Authors) in Weekly Shonen Jump have commented about One Piece reaching Chapter 1000 except 1 Mangaka.

Don't have an image with me right now but reminds me of the issue where Bleach ended and only Miura (Tadahiro) and Numa were the only ones to not reference it in their comment.

I was wondering if Agravity Boys would end after last week's chapter, it felt like it was building to a big silly gag finale but it's always hard to tell for sure with gag manga. 50 chapters is a very respectable run for a series always in the bottom 5. Though this does now mean we'll have only 6 ongoing series that are more than a year old (albeit just for 1 issue, since Undead's 1 year old on issue #8).

Speaking of which I wonder if that's why they're doing 3 oneshots instead of 3 new series right away, so that they can give Undead and Mashle the covers for their anniversaries in issues #8 and #9.

Well there goes my favorite series in Jump. Extremely sad about it, but I'm not surprised. It was a blessing that it lived this long, and I'm happy that it got to 50 chapters.

I hope Nakamura can succeed in his next attempt.

 

[Chuck_Atlas]

Goodbye to Agravity Boys and to Nakamura, it was just a matter of time tbh. I wasn’t ever able to get into the series so I never bothered with it, but it definitely had a healthy run so good for it on achieving that.

And best of luck to him in the future, maybe he could serialized his handball one shot and become the new spokon for Jump.

Also, I’ve just seen Phantom Seer’s vomic and it was very enjoyable, the seiyu did a great job with the characters, tho it reminded me of how weak the first half of the first chapter was, if it managed to live and get an anime, hopefully it improves

Not a news post, but this is disappointing.....



Combined with the news that Season 2 is gonna have anime original content, it really seems like Season 2 may go with an anime original ending.
May be possible that Neverland will go in the list of Jump series without complete adaptations

Based on what I heard about its last arc its actually might be a good thing?

 

[Thehoennhippo]

Eh, I kinda doubt that's how it'll go, my guess is just that they'll compress the stuff before Goldy Pond and maybe change some of how things happen with Shirai basically writing a different version of events that can make those arcs fit 12 episodes.

Goldy Pond was one of the more popular arcs right? I seem to remember something posted in last year or maybe even year before's thread about a poll where it did really well. If that's the case I agree with hoennhippo they're writing a way to basically skip to it.
Also where was the episode count confirmed? Bakuten seems to be the only noitamina show scheduled for Spring and TPN is in the extended part of the block with that volleyball show from David Production in the normal part so unless it was stated that extension is only for winter or TPN is only 12 episodes I don't think we can make that assumption.

Doing the math, assuming they kept that pacing a complete adaptation is really unlikely anyway. If season 2 ends with chapter 74 getting to chapter 181 would take almost 3 full seasons. I just don't see TPN continuing to get anime 2 or 3 years from now.

 

[c3pman]

I absolutely see TPN season 2 compressing Promised Forest and Search for Minerva in 2 episodes each and having 8 episodes for Goldy Pond.

And finally a final season 3. With a live action movie and season 2 TPN popularity this year is going to be big, so I think season 3 is 100% happening.

 

[tirakai]

It does sound likely that the reason it's doing original content is so they can speed through content and get to next major and popular arc. The stuff in-between is mostly just travelling and preparing from what I remember, so it would be a very underwhelming s2 if that's all the did.

Compressing the in-between bits into 4-6 eps leaving 6-8 eps for Goldy Pond would be pretty doable I think since the author is involved to rewrite it.

 

[susanoo13]

What's the poit of inserting original as in EXTRA content if the meaning is to speed through the base content? Those arcs are less interesting than Goldy Pond but none of the connections between the children and the demons or Yuugo will feel like it has any substance. Just remember what happened to Magi and Soma and don't try to fix what just isn't broken. If anything, extra content should be added to slow down the progression and add elements to unanswered questions.

Spoiler: Joint Covers

Besides the OP celebration, this is the first joint cover we've gotten in a while.
JJK and MHA flanking Luffy.
Black Clover and Dr. Stone behind them but bigger than everything else.
Then WNL and UU pretty close to the front, with Ayakashi Triangle and Yokazura immediately behind.
Mashle is pretty big but on the back for some reason (Will probably get 'paired' with UxU going forwards now that WNL is no more).

 

[savethecat]

While they could skip through those first 2 arcs, those are very important arcs in the story when it comes to world building and character development.
I feel like just simply condensing it all wouldn’t be an easy task to the story, and could easily go south.

 

[DreamcastDazia]

Promised never land only being 12 eps again is bad new. Why the heck did they do that again?

Also one piece scans are out already I know its usually ealier than the rest but how come there isn't even and plot spoilers for anything else?... This didn't happen last year from what I recall...

 

[Serinox]

Probably because of Ch. 1000 and all ^^

 

[Shokkii]

Maybe the second season is split-cour or do they always announce stuff like that before hand.

 

[Thehoennhippo]

Noitamina (the block Neverland airs on) has already announced it's slate for the rest of the year, we'd know by now if it was spit cour.

 

[OtterBrigade]

Noitamina announced its slate for the entirety of 2021 already. I only brought up it's possible to be 2 cour (unless otherwise stated) because TPN is airing in an extra timeslot so they can get back on track from COVID delays. I doubt they'd bring that slot back in summer if they got rid of it in Spring.

 

[Griff]

I know the author can do whatever he wants and have the right to not say anything about One Piece reaching it's 1000th chapter, but I find it disrespectful that one person decided to not comment on One Piece's milestone. Oda always congratulate other Mangakas even the smaller ones and is trying to help everyone have more exposure.
