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

[SSJWill4]

i just reading hxh and i must say, its sometimes really good but especially te art is the worst i ever saw in my life. i mean they seems most of the time to me like they were done for a name.

That's why you read the volume scans instead of the weekly scans (he re-did all of the scetchy chapters).

dont know if this is allowed... all of the chapter seems crappy. they even 15 pages long, not the usual 18-21

Dragon Ball was always 15 pages. It's not so uncommen (plus the recent chapters are all 19 pages again).

for the story. same parts seems exactly like dbz to me. the king thing is like cell. but also that naruto did copy alot. the genin exam was exactly like in hxh. change gaara for hisoka and there you've got hxh!

It's unclear if you're saying HxH ripped off Naruto or visa versa, but HxH defanately did it first....

I'm actually in the process of re-reading HxH myself (on chapter 291 now), and I really hope it returns in August. I'm guessing it'll come back for 20 chapters this time as well due to the long break (last break was a year before he pumped out 20).

Good ToC too. Great to see Toriko rank #1 3 weeks in a row. Wierd seeing Medaka so high too...and those new 2011 series keep shuffling in the bottom 5. :P

First of all: The comparison between Gaara and Hisoka is terrible. They're not a like at all, in my opinion.
Second of all: Yes, the exams are pretty much the same (but the HxH exam is ten times more interesting).

The art was crappy for some chapters, but that isn't just because of laziness and game-addiction, it's also because he was terrible sick at a time. I recall that he said sorry for the bad quality in a chapter, and that it should be better again soon.

The plot of Hunter x Hunter is so awesome alone, that it could be one of the best manga out there, even though it was drawn with stickmen!

Seems that the cover was for Bleach...

 

[raDar]

Damn, here I thought Sket Dance will also get the cover. Pfffft

 

[Asclepius]

Ah, Tsukishima is on the cover to represent Bleach with Ichigo.
That's the cute bishonen vilain that i was talking about weeks ago. He looks very charming in this cover.
I wonder if Aizen was in any cover before... Does anyone remember?

 

[Googlez_kun]

Kubo trying to get some readers back with Espada on the cover?

Okay cover,but i thought Sket Dance would get it.

 

[saladesu]

Why are the espada on this cover? Seems kinda random (other than to try and maybe garner some votes/draw readers back, but if so it would have been more effective if he'd used some shinigami instead, no?).

Also, damn, Mago, why are you back in the bottom 5 again That sucks. I hope it doesn't stay there...!

And awesome, not only does OP return from its break next week with a color page, Beelze and Bakuman get color pages too! Can't wait for next week

 

[BBB Banana]

The cover also has Aizen I think it just has to do with Ichigo's past enemies

Spoiler

and his battle experience which he's trying to regain.

 

[Asclepius]

Did you guys use zoom in on the cover to check the background? ^_^ Yeah, I know i'm blind cause of the bishounen.
The character book is pratically all about the Arrancar arc. All espadas there + Gin, Tosen and Aizen. Doesn't the cover say anything about that? It seems just propaganda to me with the current arc using normal colors.

 

[saladesu]

Ah, you're right. I see (required a lot of squinting...) mention of volume 50 and the official fan book, so I guess that's why characters from the Arrancar arc are being featured.

Depends on what you're looking for. If you want a serious shounen style arc, then you'd probably want to watch character introductions and then go to Benizakura. If you're looking for satirical type toilet humor, then you should just start at the beginning and work your way through. Personally I'd say the series really hits stride around episode 18 or so, since that's around the time Sorachi stopped caring about whether people liked him or not. :-P

 

[meeedoooz]

sorry if this is out of topic, but gintama is great actually... it's sooo funny... though the first episodes aren't that great, but it will get better and you will laugh more than ever

From Sasaki's twitter:

Done proof reading issue 28. New twist of #ONEPIECE is awesome http://t.co/TzT93Z1

Exciting as hell!

Also posted a picture of the scripts for issue 28: http://twitpic.com/59h4ic

 

[Samui]

Damn you Sasaki, you tease!

I hate him. But I love him, too.

 

[meeedoooz]

[TheOddOne]

Sasaki is the Editor-in-Chief of JUMP.

The top is OP, the other scripts are of the other manga. It's the next issue, the one that will come on wednesday.

Arrgh!!!! if that's true, then Sasaki did a job well done to tease the readers MADLY!!

Y'know, it'd be EVEN better if he could just share ONE panel for each of the Big 3 for all of us.

I'm really applauding Sasaki's actions with his twitter. I feel that he decided to make a twitter account since the Nanamine arc popped up. It's likely JUMP got some fanletters to be more open to the readers when Nanamine arc came out. In fact, I think it's very much true.

Japanese variety show, called Yarisugi Kohjii, has presented interesting story about Shonen Jump's past editor-in-chief (Horii Nobuhiko) and his connection between Hara Tetsuo (illustrator of Hokuto no Ken), Houjou Tsukasa (author of City Hunter), and Toriyama Akira (author of Dragonball).
