[SharkBait]

Neru is not dead last. Hope is still alive. Hype.

 

[Shinuki no Reborn]

Editors for sure love placing Witch Watch in the bottom despite doing well with the volumes. Roboco ranking very high lately

 

[Rukasu]

I wonder if we'll get MHA S6 "announced" this issue, because the last episode of S5 airs this saturday

I think it's because of the promotion it got on the TV show

Mackenyu, Madison Iseman, Sean Bean, Famke Janssen to Star in Live-Action ‘Knights of the Zodiac’ Adaptation

Pacific Rim: Uprising actor Mackenyu and Madison Iseman are leading the cast of Knights of the Zodiac, a live-action adaptation of the 1980s manga and anime series titled Saint Seiya being made by Toei Animation and Sony Pictures Worldwide Acquisitions.

Sean Bean, Famke Janssen, Nick Stahl, Diego Tinoco and Mark Dacascos are also in the firmament of the fantasy that’s coming off of wrapping production.

Tomasz Baginski, the Polish animator and special effects wiz who has worked on The Witcher, is directing the movie that Toei is producing.


In what is labeled an origin story, Mackenyu is starring as Seiya, a street orphan and the title hero of the franchise. When a mystical energy known as Cosmo awakens in him, Seiya embarks on a journey to conquer the ancient Greek armor of Pegasus and choose his side in a preternatural battle for the fate of Sienna (Iseman), a young girl who struggles to control her godly powers.

Bean plays a mentor named Alman Kiddo, a man who recruits Seiya into the Knights order, which he founded when he discovered the reincarnated goddess. Tinoco is a man hired to kill the vulnerable goddess.

The project had been in development for years and suffered several production delays before finally shooting this year. Josh Campbell and Matt Stuecken (10 Cloverfield Lane) wrote the most recent drafts.

The movie boasts the fighting prowess of veteran stuntman and martial arts choreographer Andy Cheng, who was the fight coordinator of Marvel Studios’ Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. Cheng acted as stunt coordinator and fight coordinator for the production, which filmed in Hungary and Croatia.

Lets hope its better than the Netflix abomination

 

[Shinuki no Reborn]

Sometimes Saint Seiya feels like Death Note, they can't just let it rest, always remaking and remaking the original thing kkkkk

I think it's because of the promotion it got on the TV show

Well, the recommendation happened last week, so unless they already knew (which i don't doubt), is just overall good reception.

 

[KagamiKuroko]

I wonder if publishers might consider paying if they don't already these "influencers" who go on talk shows like ame talk to shill certain series, like you give one of them $10k to say Sakamoto days is great and you'd make up the money in a day with backlogs

Nah, the public would realise when the recommendation isn't something organic but paid, at least with tv shows like Ame Talk, is also hard to see why Shueisha would pay them to recommend a gag manga like Roboco instead of series like UU, Yozakura or Sakamoto with much bigger growth potential.

There are, like, two important women in that entire series, and they managed to eliminate the only fighter right from the start (leaving only the MacGuffin in Distress).

Wonderful.

Famke is a actress.

Definitely looking really bad for Neru and Red Hood now.

Also Witch Watch seems to be low fairly often, I wonder if that's why it's the only series under a year old without a cover yet (besides the three new series of course).

Fairly unlikely. UU ranks low fairly often and it gets covers. It probably has more to do with the fact WW is a slice-of-life/comedy, which don't (M:YF) historically (Magu) get many (M&R) covers (HSF). I know it isn't a 1-to-1 comparison, but still.

And on that note, so glad for Yozakura! I'm really looking forward to this cover.

 

[Thehoennhippo]

Might as well point out that Sket Dance didn't get a cover for three years (though obviously that's an anomaly)

Lets not panic yet. Neru can still rise now that its not ranking the prologue anymore

That has more to do with Jump being Jump back in time, both Kuroko no Basket & Medaka Box only got a 2nd cover when their anime were announced together 2.5 years after they started, Sket Dance 2nd cover was also for the anime.

 

[Sho-West]

I will honestly take anything Saint Seiya. I still watch The Lost Canvas and cry, I even miss...Omega

As much as as I hope you're right, I don't think that we've seen a recent series claw their way out of dead last place even when they've finally moved past the supposedly slow/bad start. First impressions are crucial.

So while i guess it is possible for RH to get a "finally out of the hamlet" boost...I wouldn't exactly put money on it. The fact that we're hoping for things like this or "the new waifus will save the series" means we're already in Panic Mode in my estimation.
