You thought it was racist?

They make it a point how panther's abilities and talent are racial traits even in the world cup arc.(though it's not brought up as much as in the nasa arc)


This tweet kind of makes me want to pick up brainxwave. Didn't know it had character profile epilogues.

 

[monstera11]

They could easily do it. Premise: Doctor who turned Muzan into a demon had other candidates he transformed and boom, now the hashira have to fight again.

You could also go the Gamaran route and bring the government into the story. Just a lot of ways to go.

And these candidates somehow went under the radar for 1000 years? Genuinely plot holes and obvious milking. Kny story was fine as it is. Prolonging it will ruin it

No one gives a fuck about character voices or the shitty singular character frames

I do...........

It's kind of a running joke in the fandom that the social media manager has had barely anything to work with, but in my opinion the past month has been better. When it's obvious we're getting another trailer at JF all the merch drops soften the blow.

 

[NewUser767s]

This image circulating is why people think WSJ is in a slump. Although It's a bit inaccurate.

All the previous eras had multiple megahits to hits. While this era has been a bit.....down

None of them got as popular as Black clover from the previous era (I mentioned it because it's the lowest in terms of circulation). Though to be fair multiple of them don't have an anime yet.

What is their obsession with figures

Shit outfit Azami getting one just because his voice actor is crazy prolific and that's the only thing he does in season 1? Lol

At this rate (along with their financial report being half gacha games and saying Kagurabachi is an IP they are focusing on) I'm expecting a gacha game to drop alongside the start of season 1 and be updated as episodes drop

It'd be forced for sure, but there is a ton of ways to get by that: dark forest theory with Muzan being the one all were scared of; they ruled different parts of Japan; they were in different countries etc. Muzan could have had a son who didn't mature yet etc.

@Shinuki no Reborn is it possible that Bleach Hell arc could drop separately from this batch but still within the batch period?

 

[NewUser767s]

I would have said we would get more information about bleach hell arc in Jump Festa but it's not a super stage which is weird?

 

[JBC008]

Everyone excited for the next issue and the start of the new batch?

Kimetsu no Yaiba: Next Generations.
Set in current year™, an evil corp created a synthetic version of the blue spider lily, turned various test subjects into demons, and then lost control of them. Now there are dozens of Muzan-tier opponents with potentially more abilities than him (since the synthetic ingredient was experimental or something) wreaking havoc in Japan and the world, while the descendants of the protagonists and new demon slayer corps have to delve through history and re-learn how to kill these demons. Since you are mass-producing Muzans and each one of them can have a different goal, you can run this for 100 years without issue, even doing something like JoJo's where there are multiple generations of demons and slayers with unique stories.

They can release a series anytime they want, it's not really bound by "rounds" if is a solo veteran series, but at this point i'm expecting, if happens, to be revealed on Bleach Fes in February

 

[Neala897]

Btw i cannot believe they let Jan get serialized as it is

Wouldn't that cause copyright issues with Tintin? The resemblance is way too close. Unlike that mha character (Mirio? Forgot his name)

Tintin is over 70 years old so it should be public domain by now

 

[Nuesmoker]

almost €70 for shipping 2 jump issues is crazy, maybe it's a good thing Nue doesn't get many covers

 

[Tymano]

By the time of Jump Festa it will be what? 9 months of nothing?

9 months with at best 1 2 minute trailer is inexcusable in every circumstance and scenario

--- Double Post Merged, Yesterday at 8:36 PM, Original Post Date: Yesterday at 8:31 PM ---

I dont know what it is with Kagurabachi but it rots the brains of everyone around it so either you absolutely love it or absolutely hate it and also all corporate entities in charge of it become completely inept and incompetent when it comes to doing their job with it

Genuinely south park joke tier advertising plan

Meanwhile the world trigger reboot was announced a year ago and has had, in that time, 1 character visual! I know we all want more about the kgb anime (and really any anime we know is in production) but anime adaptations tend to be announced earlier in production then, like, a western movie is so you're just going to have to deal with long stretches of nothing. What kgb might be doing is still bad tbh but it is honestly a little better than the standard for anime, not worse or "south park tier."

We will literally reach a full year with nothing about the upcoming Ruri Dragon anime, even though it generated a lot of buzz in Japan and overseas. But KyoAni is like that. They tend to show stuff only a couple of months before the release date. City got its first actual trailer less than 3 months before it airing.

Unless there’s a surprise stage appearance, I doubt they’ll make an announcement like this.

Isn't that related to the anime?

 

[almavivi]

Eight years after announcing The Elder Scrolls VI, Bethesda has revealed the game’s subtitle. So I’m not complaining.

 

[Nuesmoker]

Welp.

Nue just dropped one of the best chapters in the series. No biggie.

 

[Newkerzy]

And so, Roku begins the first of many longer arcs. Very curious (and excited!) to see how Nakamura will handle the overarching goals of the series!

 

[Subarashiii]

For any other Nue readers in the thread are we thinking this is the end of Kasha or we still got a bit more to go? Felt like a finishing blow with everyone there now.
