If this never changed then it might actually clear up some of what went on in their decisions. Morita mentions the total number of surveys was around in the "ten thousands" and we do have a more defnitive number from Torishima around the same period Of course we do not have any data on how...

Numa bros we're so back

I forgot this even existed

I'm sure there's a 70's series that's the definitive answer but Black Angels from 81-85 sticks out as never having any sort of adaptaional presence. Not even a late 80's OVA.

Yuuna came first in issue 33 of 2016. Said "treatment" is nothing more than a misconception in the end. It's rankings resemble what the current placements UU and Wakagami have.

The ToC is a very complicated combination of various factors. The important thing is to draw the conclusions from consistency and not the odd week or so. If a series is generally treading towards the bottom, it's safe to say that it's not very popular in the surveys. A wild sharp jump or fall in...

The whole Animanga sphere is really bad about this. A complete lack of understanding for a lot of things and how they work. For Jump in particular this was caused by years of international cherrypicking and anime bias. The average fan would assume that Shonen Jump is full of battle series and...

You forget that for most of Jump's history, Very few series even reached 50 volumes. In terms of old Jump hits from the 20th century, they lasted: Otoko Ippiki (20 vols) Harenchi Gauken (13 vols) Toilet Hakase (30 vols, the longest Jump series until Kochikame vol 31 came out in 1984) Isamu (12...

Masanori Morita sheds some light into the difference in manuscript fees from his day.

They're not that common. 2020 was an anomaly as there was 2, but there is usually a 3-4 year gap between those.

I think it's the way Viz uses the Shonen Jump brand. There is no distinction used by them to seperate WSJ from any other line (SQ,V, Plus, and even some Young Jump/Tonari series are lumped as "Shonen Jump").

Both. It varies a lot but it generally goes that Shueisha shops around or an already established committee goes to them to get the greenlight for production. As for studios getting what series; Sometimes someone at said studio fights to get a series while sometimes a committee finds whatever...

I give it until late October/November

He never said that explicitly, I took that as mere PR since the series really didn't do much with the move to + anyways from what I've seen. Besides have you seen the censorship done on World's End Harem and Saotome Shimai? Near entire pages obnoxiously covered up (pure white on Shimai, some...

What makes you think Nakano not being there will change anything regarding Roboco? As long as it doesn't freefall from the ToC then it's staying no matter who the next EiC is.
