Mag Talk Weekly Shonen Jump [2011] - Discussion and TOC Talk - Part 1

[perroloco]

I am glad there are finally 2 series which I can finally read without getting worried of them getting canceled in the near future, Medaka and Kuroko, I will check them

Hello!

I wanted to know if there is any indication that Shonen Jump will start to do any kind of promotion for Reborn! in the future. I know that Reborn! has had many color pages but they give color pages to just about everyone else. I feel that Reborn! has become the most over looked manga by not just Shonen Jump but everyone else.

I know that the last arc may have had a few issues but the current arc looks very promising. I mean Amano is bringing back fan favorites and getting in gear for a lot of really interesting action ahead.

I rarely ever see any spoilers or RAWs scans for the current chapters. I care very much for this series and the series has a devoted fan base but I feel that Reborn! is for the most part become invisible.

It's not like the rest excluding the top 3/4 get first day releases too. And to wait a day or two for a chapter isn't that horrible is it? The last arcs end was kinda messy and will take ca. a month till we see the results for the new Arcobaleno arc, even more with last weeks big revelation. What kind of promotion would you wish for the series? It's a bit to late for the upgraded rings, it got a PSP game last year and personally: good art won't make up for medicore plot and a big fetish for leather/lacquer/flashy/gloss clothes.

Not for nothing, but from my point of view, it's very visible, one of the more visible ones actually.
It's being scanned at least within a few days of Naruto/Bleach/One Piece, that alone is a testament to how visible it is. It even received the cover some weeks ago for the start of its new arc, how much more would you want? And I wouldn't degrade the value of a colour page, just because a lot of series get them doesn't diminish their value, some series that are struggling at this point would kill for colour pages. I don't see the reason to look at it this way when there are some series in the magazine that are in worse standings than Reborn!

I think REBORN! will end soon.. Either it gets a new anime adaptation or it ends, because pretty much everything in the magazine has an anime or will have an anime soon and REBORN! already had one and as we have seen in the past, mangas which animes end tend to get cancelled.. (End)

I don't think Reborn going to end soon. I think it is indeed that Reborn is in its final arc, but it just started its new arc and it going to have most battles in this series. Therefore, I think Reborn still going to last at least one more year.

I think it is seriously unnecessary to make a lot of noise/ complain about the lack of spoilers for Reborn!
Honestly, that series is scanlated within a week of its newest chapter release date. That is considered very good as there are a lot of other series that got dropped, and we khr readers should just feel grateful about it. It is not hard to wait for 3 more days for the chapter, isn't it?
rather than complaining about it in various forums like i see you did....

 

[kdowns]

Well that is absolutely brilliant news that Kuroko is finally getting an anime, Even though it's been low in rating but had that massive jump last week was surely suprising.

 

[Asarii]

Kuroko is a series that's never paid much attention to so congrats for getting an anime. (It's the neglected child in the WSJ line-up.)

I'm happy that Sket is in 3rd place and that Nurarihyon is rising up a bit. I hope this trend will continue!

Hello!

I will only say this one last thing about Reborn! in regards to spoilers. I am truly grateful for the efforts that have been made by mainly Manga Stream and I Eat Manga to translate the chapters. I can in fact wait for the chapters.

However spoilers act to get the buzz going for chapters when they come out. Reborn! used to have timely spoilers that included images from time to time. If Reborn! had never had spoilers in the past then the translated chapters would be the only way to go but there used to be spoilers.

I want to see Reborn! get to have back some of what the series had. I still have some hope that maybe there might be some sort of anime for the latest arc because Reborn! had a VOMIC. However there has not been any word on that either. Many in the Reborn! fandom had thought that the anime would return in the spring of 2011 but that did not happen.

I am doing what I can to try to help get some attention back for this series especially now with this new arc that has already had so many characters that the fans wanted to come back have returned. I don't know if this is to be the last arc but I feel that it will not be. I think that there will be at least one or more to come after this one.

I just really care about this series and want the best for it and the fans of it.

 

[ZayCon]

Good to see that Toriko is managing to stay in the top 5.

Bakuman has dropped a lot, but it's not that weird. The latest two arcs hasn't been as good as previous ones. Especially not the latest.

Bottom 4 is the worst ever! Magico has finally become better again, but it probably shot itself in the foot with that one arc. Beelzebub has been great, so I don't really understand. Maybe because those who read Beelzebub read it for the comedy, and not for the action? Because there have been a lot of action lately. Enigma and ST&RS has also been pretty good, so it's too bad that they're rock bottom.

I don't think Reborn! will end soon, but I'm pretty sure it's the last arc now.

Cover WSJ #43:

[Newkerzy]

Heh, what a fitting cover for the announcement. The characters are like "finally!!"

 

[Divinenega]

This is the first time since premering Medaka has gotten on the cover. Sure it wasn;t lead CP, but it still feels pretty refreshing.

 

[Pupo]

Naruto #1 eh mmh... that's good D:

 

[Sky Render]

Bleach jumping to 2nd place shows that Jump is all about fanservice, I guess.

 

[Haato]

At Last!!! Medaka Box Has A cover!!! It hasn't had one since it started over 2 years ago!!!! Doesn't seem like Kuroko has gotten very many covers either, Jump really needs to rotate their covers more! >.<

That is also Kuroko's second cover.

 

[kdowns]

That is also Kuroko's second cover.

And it started relatively around the same time Bakuman debuted also, I believe.

 

[Haato]

Holy Crap!! D: Then I reinstate that Jump REALLY needs to rotate their cover lineups!! especially seeing that the only time kuroko and medaka get the cover is when they're getting an anime!
