2/3 arcs after this one. It’s such a weird series in terms of pacing though and part of why I’m kind of meh on the series. Yep those are the obvious ones and international discussion will be big for carrying those; but i think sometimes these should-be obvious home runs (like SD could’ve...

So you think even if it does receive a JJK/KnY level animation and direction, that it cannot get close to that?

CSM’s first season was not super well received. It wasn’t bad but people were disappointed in the direction and that it didn’t elevate the series. The reze movie was far more well received (frankly I didn’t think the CSM manga picked up until reze) Also again, a lot of people are having issues...

We are weekly Shonen jump readers; there’s nothing that’s impossible! The thing is no one predicted KnY would explode the way it did; it was very similar to Nue in that it was a modest hit with a cult following. The brilliant animation, the pure and wholesome protagonist, and strong plot made it...

My basis for it is the art is great and I think them taking this long to announce a date means they’re taking their time with it. I think Jump is well aware how much of a cult hit Nue is and they have the same idea. I think SD was rushed out and we saw the lackluster results. Will it do big...

Im not really a Nue fan by any means but I think I think it’s fairly obvious Nue is going to be huge hit with the anime. The artwork lends itself well to being animated as long as they don’t fuck up the animation like Blue Lock, OPM or Sakamoto. If the anime is done right I legitimately believe...

I think there was a discussion a while back on what old WSJ would get an anime next; I don’t think anyone said HnG lol. I love One piece and Oda dearly and he deserves all the breaks but the breaks have really been really rough this year (probably because the last few chapters have been a bit...

Sounds like something from a ruri chapter of Roboco; maybe the is is Roboco’s way of telling you to rig the polls for the mangas favor. Considering you didn’t get viciously assaulted nor did you get forced to to say she’s beautiful, I think it’s safe to say it wasn’t Roboco. Speaking of Roboco...

The non battle battle mangas. Very hard to do; jump tends to only get a hit in that once or twice a decade (frankly they only serialize like 4 a decade too). Last one was act-age (pain 😭) and then SnS before it. Problem is you then sometimes get series like I tell c or hakutaku If HAL fails...

The thing with reborn is it’s a gag manga for the first like 7 volumes. It’s not like revolutionary or groundbreaking and has plenty of flaws (kind of a sudden ending and never really delivers on certain character development and romance things. However it was always a fun time and had good...

Hopefully Viz does a full physical release in English of the Reborn manga if the reborn anime is a hit

And yet Viz won’t do physical release for either 😡

I know it’s not WSJ but (since it is break week) I saw that Ura Tokyo that people really liked got axed; action manga has been kind of rough throughout the industry right now. Has there been any new hit action-adventure series that really have taken off that started this year or has it been dry...

Does Japan have a strong favorite for who “best girl” would be for Gakuro in Nue’s Exorcist? Also, now that it’s been more than 24 hours since the new Jump issue, how has Greykeith been received by JP audiences?

It was probably up to the mangaka, but imagine if Kill Blue moved to jump+! With the anime being successful, it could have become more than a moderate-ish success and told its story completely
