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

[Nii]

Hello!

I believe that Reborn! will come back much stronger now. The fight with Daemon Spade is over now with Tsuna and all of his Guardians in one piece somehow. The new arc has just started up with a clear bang with many of the fans favorites back in the action. Reborn and the rest of the Arcobaleno are going to get to shine more. The fans of the Simon family can also be excited because they are still around. In short the new arc already looks very promising.

I am not sure what is going to happen with Bleach but it may come back again to the top. I mean Ichigo has Rukia and some of the other Soul Reapers at his side. He is also back a bit more to his normal self again.

If the last chapters don't push Bleach back to the top, nothing can. If it will still stay at the bottom even when the current chapters are ranked (even though I doubt it), it's definitely doomed.

Reborn will definitely get higher now, the horrible Shimon Arc is over and the long anticipated Arcobaleno Arc is going to start so it will rise again. I'm actually looking forward to the Reborn chapters, it's getting interesting and I really hope Amano will do a good job with this new turn of events.

And why Enigma? I get that the readers got bored with the e-test but they should at least give this new arc a chance :/ It would be very disappointing if it really gets canceled

Well the chapters based off the new arc in Enigma haven;t been ranked yet so we won;t know how it affects the series for another 4 or 5 weeks.

I know, I'm just hoping that the ranking will rise with the next arc but to be honest I kinda doubt it :/ WSJ readers are impatient and if they get bored or disappointed about a series, it's very hard to get their votes again. At least that's the impression I got over the last few years. It would be a shame to see it go but again it wouldn't be the first time WSJ readers kill a not so cliche story/setting

oh and I'm really glad that ST&RS got in 5th place, hopefully it will survive

Kurogane Chapter 1 Chinese RAW ----->HERE<-----

 

[Oberon]

WSJ Cover #40:


Sket Dance celebrates 4 years of serialization!
Also in this number Nurarihyon no Mago and Medaka Box will have a chapter with 23 pages.

 

[Haato]

Sweet! love the cover!! it's been kind of a while since Sket Dance got the cover,

And I love their choices for extra pages This is a week to look forward to!!

 

[OPN]

i was hoping we would get confirmation on the medaka box anime for this issue since we are starting to get more spring anime announced...but it looks like we didnt oh well but we did get confirmation that the gintama and sket dance crossover chapters will be getting anime specials http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2011-09-05/gintama-x-sket-dance-crossover-manga-get-tv-anime so i guess its a win lose situation.

It has been awhile. Since its first issue I believe. Which is completely ridiculous if you ask me.

Actually, Sket Dance already had gotten another cover after its first issue. I think either its anime announcement or when its anime begin to aired.

Didn't it get a cover for the gintama crossover?

 

[Haato]

Even if Sket has gotten a few covers, approximately 3 covers in 4 years is still ridiculously low if you ask me...

Is it for sure that the Medaka anime isn't announced?? D: This is a true tragedy amongst travesties!!

Well even if it hasn;t been announced yet, logically speaking it should definently be the next JUMP series to get an anime. Speaking of which, anyone know when the JUMP festa OVAs for the year are announced? Since Medaka and Kuroko are the only two series with enough material without animes I assume they'll be the OVAs for this year.

 

[Crude]

Now this is what I'm talking about! A Sket cover, finally!! I honestly don't know why it hasn't gotten more covers, seeing as the series has been doing great for quite a while now. In fact, a lot of series have been lacking in covers such as Beelzebub and Nurarihyon.

I'm really sad to see Enigma ranking so poorly. I just hope that the rankings improve due to the new arc.

 

[Drmke]

Didn't it get a cover for the gintama crossover?

Ah my bad, forgot about that one. Still that just happened this year lol

It seems that the new series "Kurogane" has already gained a HUGE amount of haters over the internet.

Kurogane's author "Ikezawa Haruto" has been known to make rude comments or make fun of cetain series on his Twitter account in the past and has gained many haters over the internet.

A list of some of the series Ikezawa has said something stupid/rude about:

- Bleach
- Reborn
- Medaka Box
- Sket Dance
- Bakuman
- Wajimania
- Kashikoi Inu
- Hokenshitsu no Shinigami
- Neko Wappa
- Kagijin
- Akaboshi
- ToLove ru
- I''s
- Double Arts

He is even known to make fun of everyone in the jump editorial staff (except his own editor)and many newcomer Manga artists.

However since Kurogane being serializing, he has been apologizing for the things he has said, but the hate still runs deep through japanese forums.

 

[MattC302]

^What kinds of stuff did he say? Can you give some examples?

I hate this guy already, but c'mon, that doesn't mean Kurogane must be bad.

Knowing Japan, this shouldn't bode well for his future.
Of course, it's not like everyone on the internet is voting every week anyways.

Tamura Ryuuhei also said some nasty things about some of Shonen Jump series before he started Beelzebub.

A list of some of the series Tamura has said something stupid/rude about:

- Bleach
- Naruto
- Reborn
- To Love-Ru
- Hunter x Hunter
- D.Gray-man
- Psyren (this one I'm most surprised about)
- Nurarihyon
- Eyeshield 21
- Gintama
- Double Arts
- Barihaken
- One Piece

He even commented that Shonen Sunday is better than Shonen Jump. Thus, I don't get why he chose to do Beelzebub in Jump, not Sunday.

 

[Asarii]

↑ Source? Rumors can arise out of anything, and words can be construed to mean something entirely different. Despite this, my enjoyment for Beelzebub won't be affected even if Tamura Ryuuehi made rude comments.

I'm surprised because his black list are well-known titles (therefore, easy target?) and most are running in WSJ alongside his series at the moment. It must be awkward at the annual Jump party for him.

Maybe Shonen rejected him.
