Do we know the full list of GFC oneshots yet?

If there's any other series I expect to get a pretty early anime announcement, it's Ichi the Witch. The series was an immediate big hit and is by an author with a very successful current anime already, so it'll almost certainly have recieved studio attention from ch 1.

We just got Roku two batches ago which is doing really well so far. Hal Formula's still hanging above the other flops so it should be okay for now. At this rate there's a good chance of it surviving the next round but getting cancelled in the mid-20s, which would mean all 3 of this author's...

We know WSJ has said 'not in WSJ' even to successful authors and pushed them to serialise elsewhere (like Shinohara with Astra Lost in Space) so Sorachi probably fully had the choice to do it on Jump+ instead and is just joking around.

Personally I think we'll get two more full arcs for Nue's Exorcist, one for Gashadokuro and a final arc for Nue herself (like everyone trying to save her from destroying herself). Ending at some point in 2028. It'll most likely end before ch 250, but it could maybe push a little past that...

Mainly, people didn't like Aizen being gone, and I remember there was also some disappointment in the latter half of the arc when Soul Society showed up rather than it sticking with Ichigo & Pals vs the Fullbringers. In addition to Bleach generally being extremely slow paced. It's fine when...

I think it's going to be a lot, since if it was only 4 or 5 they could've easily introduced them all on one page instead of just the first 3. Even 6 could fit two-by-two wihout much trouble so my guess is we'll get 7 GFC oneshots this year, which they've done a couple times before.

Chihiro has a strong personality, he's very dour and serious and revenge-driven. Just because he's not silly and goofy doesn't mean he's lacking a personality.

Personally I really appreciate getting a full story arc for this part of the history of Kagurabachi. There's clearly a lot thought put into the backstory of the series and it's definitely worthy of a full story arc. I'm so used to flashbacks being just a few chapters in the middle of another...

In Jump's case we just got 3 new successful battle shounen in a row in 2024 plus 2 others the year before that which are all still going strong. Since then, the battle shounen in Jump have been - Otr of the Flame - awful start that it never recovered from, and a total cardboard MC (it improved...

Kagurabachi's current arc also has consistently short chapters, and that could also have an impact. Plus it's never been a consistently high ranking series anyway. It's a mid-ToC series with abnormally high sales.

And WSJ is a significantly larger magazine as a result. Even with it falling over time, WSJ's physical circulation right now is probably more than every other weekly manga magazine combined (the only one we don't have numbers for is Weekly Shounen Champion I think, but I can't imagine it's...

Gonron Egg was absolutely packed full of potential, it just had bad art. It was very ambitious with a cool world and a grand scale, its biggest problem was the creator was not good enough of an artist to portray anything close to what he wanted. If he was paired up with someone actually able to...

Almost everything in Jump has potential, they wouldn't run a series they thought was hopeless. Even Nice Prison over time could've potentially figured out how to good gag battles and become a new Bobobo. Even the most copy-paste, unremarkable battle shounen could've eventually introduced an...

I'm glad we got an full chapter for a non-Gakuro fight in Nue finally, they're weirdly rare considering how large the core cast is. I also enjoyed Hal Formula delving into the company politics this week. I hope this series can at least survive a round or two because there's a lot of thought put...
