Mag Talk Weekly Shonen Jump [2018] - Discussion and TOC Talk

[Nemesis]

Come now! Franxx, Persona 5 and Ace Attorney S2 weren't.....uh...physically painful? I'm sure Neverland will be fine, the voicework at least sounds good even if I couldn't tell who was playing who without subtitles.

Those three series had three complete different staff tho. Also, Cloverworks animated the majority of Franxx and they did a great job on that so I don't think it should be on the same level of AA and P5 which were in a level below.

Franxx as a production overall was strong. The character acting was great even if the action sequences weren't very memorable. That is really what we should hope for with Neverland and also what they're seemingly prioritizing reading that interview with producer Fukushima. The staff are also all great animators when it comes to character acting.

That makes up at least 50% of the show.
Its production was no different from your atypical A-1 production and its character animation wasn't particularly unique or impressive outside a few episodes. Not the worst but certainly no where near the best (which can describe the show as a whole). That being said if they can get Neverland to have the exact same feel as episode 5 of Franxx I'll be more than happy since that captures the exact same feeling I get from reading the manga.

That Hinomaru x Reina color page gives me so much life. Too bad that the clusterfuck of an anime it has will never reach Part II

We've known the digital and world wide numbers for a while now.

"Great" is a strong word. Even ignoring the script and direction the mecha portions of the show were lackluster.

I know mangakas don't like to reveal their identity nowadays (for good reasons) but these covers in the 90s were awesome

The 50th anniversary catalog tells us the story behind those covers, Shuiesha took them for a free trip to Hakone where they all meet and have fun and then dress them to take those photos on the cover.

It's getting close.

But Stone sales data?

One thing I've checked is almost all these titles have updated sales from October and November, except mainly Hero Academia, its last update was in August.

Wondering if we can get soon new Hero Academia updated sales, I'm very curious if it has managed to reach the 20M

PS: So, next Jump manga to get anime after Dr.Stone should be in theory Jujutsu, but there is still a lot of time for that (I'm not seeing Jujutsu anime announcement happening until 2020, same for Act-age).

Hopefully this December the miracle will become reality and we will get Rokudenashi Blues anime announcement.

 

[DyanSon]

But Stone sales data?

Maybe on December but my bet is on 1kk total print.

[101nemesis]

In sept, promised neverland had 6 mln, so it seems clear digital has added <1mln sales for the series.

Absolutely. You are so right!
Just ignore the fact that a new volume literally just came out meaning 500k initial print or whatever is the initial print figure for TPN was added just for that one volume alone and ALSO the fact that this is worldwide.

 

[Tamil]

Ufotable is on schedule with the production of the anime & here is the interview with the VA's.

 

[shoyoboyo]

Hopefully that means they don't cut a lot of corners for the anime. I haven't been this excited for an anime in a long while.
