WEEKLY SHONEN JUMP THREAD RULES​

#1. No fights or personal insults.
#2. No bait or troll comments with the intention of being annoying or starting serious heated discussions, if i notice it's a continuous behavior, i will warn the user or delete the comment.
#3. No toxic attitude towards series, no one is obligated to enjoy any series and it's totally fine to criticize what you don't like, just avoid posting gratuitous hateful or toxic comments about X or Y series, if i notice this behavior, comments will be deleted.
#4. Don't bring politics or off-topic stuff to the thread, this is about Weekly Shonen Jump magazine and mangas, so keep any conversation about topics that aren't related about anime & manga outside the thread.
#5. Don't post news about series from other magazine or publishers in the WSJ thread, post in the series own thread, but it's fine if you're mentioning other series or magazine to express a opinion or reflection about Shonen Jump.
#6. Any tweet, specially japanese, about news, update or some interesting thing about the magazine or series has to come with a text of what that tweet means and also be on topic, if not it's going to be either deleted or i will edit the post.
#7. Refrain from self advertising or advertising Youtubers videos in the comments.
#8. Constant fanart posts just for the sake of praising a favorite series is prohibited, this rule doesn't apply for official art by Jump artists posted on social media, they're fine to post.
#9. Don't discuss or hype chapter spoilers before Sunday release, only comment if is related to a series surviving status and do it only inside the spoiler tag.
#10. Regarding rule #9, an exception will be made for when we have new series, in this case, spoilers will be allowed only for the first 3 chapters of a new series for the users who are interested in knowing informations and details about the new series, these spoilers will obviously be kept under tags to protect anyone that doesn't want to be spoiled, so don't worry about it.
~ Shinuki

I hope everyone reads the rules and use it as a guide to behave well in the thread, thanks! :kkthumbs

Only thing it would make me even happier is if Amano finally starts a manga sequel, which would obviously be on Plus, the finale was so open and it scream "sequel".
Considering the poor quality of the last two arcs, I don't see anything positive about it.

I remember that towards the end the power levels were quite out of whack and the enemies were ridiculous.

Even though I love the Varia and Future arc more than the 2 unadapted arcs it would be amazing to see a 4 cour adaptation of all that is left. I hope KHR will have a good studio for the remainder since I don't even know if the workers of Artland formed any kind of studio. Kenichi Imaizumi went on to direct Kingdom seasons 3-6 and even though I didn't see it it had a very good reputation, and if it goes to Pierrot after bleach to the same director it could be really good.

I would love to see the old anime animated with modern animations, but it would take at least a hundred episodes to make a complete adaptation.

I would rather have a complete adaptation covering the last two arcs than a remake, so that's good news.

In a perfect world i would love to be a full remake/reboot, but in the realistic world a remake/reboot of a 400+ chapters manga is too much of a gamble and the chances of disappointment too high, so is better to simply be adaptation of the 2 final arcs like Bleach.

????? What do you mean something completely new?:
Wouldn't put it past them to do something dumb and make a sequel series or anime original stuff while skipping canon stuff ngl. Especially if it's just something they do for an anniversary celebration.

There are two arcs left, the Simon family and Arcobaleno final arc
You right, i completely forgot about the Simon family stuff ngl lmao.

They made one for Dragon Quest Dai which had 396 chapters
Reborn isnt by Toei, also the original Dragon Quest anime barely adapted the manga from what i know, Reborn in the other hand adapted most of the manga just right.

Reborn has just good enough to make you forget how bad it is.

The study that did it failed. Who could do it?

Just about caught up to Gonron Egg. It isn’t terrible, but it does lean on the generic side and I feel as if it had some stuff cut or dropped just to finish the chapter or to make it faster. But it isn’t as fast as how Ginka & Gluna was (which was atrocious), but because of some of the cut stuff, it makes some scenes or important moments gutted in my opinion, as well as anticlimactic, especially when we ended chapter 4 with Gonron and Ohma surrounded by minions only to see the minions defeated off screen at the start of chapter 5.

Now with the art, it isn’t terrible and it has improved, I was surprised at how the characters stood out from the background because of how thick their outlines were. It reminded me of Attack on Titans season one anime where the outlines were so thick that they felt like cutouts. Well since chapter 6, Tanizaki has now got the line width and a good balance, and the backgrounds look amazing.

As for the other two (The Mage Next Door and Hero Girl and Demon Lord), I like those two. But I tend to lean towards HG&DL more due to it’s down to earth nature and concept. Now with Mage, I do think it gets better due to the comedy, unfortunately it is making me have to compare it to other series that are somewhat similar and I’ve been questioning whether if it’s good or does it better than those others that I have seen/read before. The art isn’t bad too, though it feels reminiscent of Yuto Suzuki, which isn’t bad, however I wonder how this series will stick out from the crowd when compared to what we have in Jump now. As well as it being a magical series, it will also be put up against Witch Watch and Ichi the Witch with their magic elements as well.

I hope these fees will push other publishers to do the same and increase their manuscript fees too... :derp It's good for mangaka. At least those up to their standards (artstyle and weekly schedule).

But I as said in my twitter post, these increases mean that they are in a situation where they REALLY need fodder canon mangaka.... Businesses don't increase their "salaries" like that when they have the choice...
Becoming an axe bait mangaka for short term to act as cushion for other series seems like a nice gig ngl... like, you come in not really expecting to last long. Just collect the pay then go. Treat it like a short term gig.

Not sure if you are aware of it. But in corporate there is a practice of hiring sacrificial peons to be laid off to protect their core members.

I was a huge KHR fans back then. I have forgotten most of the stories from the TYL arc onwards. But i recall the last 2 arcs were just the fandom raging weekly with thr occasional thirsting

Sometimes, I think those in charge of wsj manga's official account should learn one or two things from whatever the one in charge of Frieren's official account is doing

The studio of Reborn was Artland...
