Hunter x Hunter TV anime changes broadcast time to Wednesday 1:29 am JPT.

A Uncommon TOC except by One Piece and Assassination Classroom in the first places. Haiykuu!! rise very much in only one week, it was in the dead last at issue 42. o.o I have the feeling that it had hands of the editors, but whatever, I like Haikyuu!!. Gintama in 4th after a long time.

Shokugeki no Soma has a good arc's end, but I don't disagree with the ranking, it didn't have emotion as the rest of the arc, but it will rise up next week probably when starts Karaage arc.

Beelzebub isn't going well for months or even years, tankobons sales are decreasing, too, this time has various new series to be cancelled, but if I were Tamura I'd do something.

Seems that "big news" was Haikyuu!! anime...
Almost I confuse 31 Heroes with Jaco. hahahaha

 

[FanOfAniManga]

I'm not entirely sure who I should be more pissed at in terms of Beelzebub: the readers/editors for losing all faith in the series, or Tamura for not bothering to address the cliffhanging he's developed over the past few years.

Though I think I've leaned towards the latter a lot.

The voice actors for upcoming Ansatsu Kyoushitsu OVA is announced; it looks like they changed from vomic.

- Korosensei = Seki Tomokazu
- Shiota Nagisa = Touyama Nao
- Kayano Kaede = Taketasu Ayana
- Akabane Karuma = Okamoto Nobuhiko
- Sugino Tomohito = Honjou Yuutarou
- Kanzaki Yukiko = Satou Rina
- Karasuma Tadaomi = Suwabe Junichi
- Irina Jelavić = Horie Yui
- Red Eye = Miki Shinichirou

Also, it looks like the OVA going to focus on the Kyouto arc.

 

[Leoat12]

For a series get good positions not only depend on if the series is good, but if it is better than the others. I don't think that the readers lost the faith in the series, not so long, at Furuichi's arc, Beelzebub had good rankings. Tamura only have to do something that attracts interest of the readers and make them vote in it.
I don't read all series of the Jump, but by what I read, I have to agree with the japaneses, Beelzebub is less interesting than the others.

 

[Kubukurin]

> short toc
> popularity pool
> cover of NEXT so it will be basically on every cover of september and october's issues
> more than 250.000 copies every volume
> strong fanzine market
> fujoshi

Yep HQ is in danger.

The big announce is the HQ anime, but don't mind me I'm just a fella who thinks that TOC really matters for new series and the ones aging badly (ehm Beelzebub, Mago, Medaka)

Don't mind me I'm just gloating here. This is a post from like 20 days ago.

I agree with you. The last arc was, honestly, boring; so, I don't think Tamura shouldn't do the serious battle arc.

I really hope the animation studio does a good job. I think its great they decided to pick an arc from the middle of the series -- you're able to get a feel for what its about. Plus Red Eye's chapter was hilarious!

I think Beelzebub yo-yos a lot. Like, it tries to cover so many different things, that its readers go in and out in terms of reading it. Sales rose during the Akumano Academy arc, then dropped during the Okinawa Arc. Then it rose during the Tissues Arc, and then dropped during the Christmas Arc. Now its been around the same for the past three volumes.

I think the weirdest thing about Beelzebub's ranking is that the arc still went on for like SEVEN MORE CHAPTERS. Tamura has done rush jobs on arcs he needs to finish. Like the Tissues arc got shoehorned in with the beginning of the Christmas Arc. But its like with this arc he went completely the opposite. From what I remember the chapter being ranked is "Bloom"...man did people complain about that chapter.

*shrugs* I still liked most of the Takamiya Arc. But I'm glad its over. I want to hope this current arc picks up fandom's interest again.

@FOAM -- Honestly considering Beelzebub is first and foremost a gag manga I've never taken the cliffhanging seriously.

I was gonna do my whole "sitcoms aren't gags" thing here, but.... Beelzebub's a hard one to pin down. Like it's plot-driven one arc, gag-driven the next, it's all over the place in the best way.... Which might explain why readers aren't so hot on it with how rapidly it flits between the two nowadays.

But ah well, it's been a middling series for a while now, and I'm just hoping that Tamura continues moving things forward with his endgame (though more weird plots like the mini-furuichis along the way would be *super* nice)

 

[Silverblade]

Beelzebub is weak as a magical delinquent action which has nothing on Shonen Champion line up.

However, it's damn great as a comedy. Tamura has some problems realizing what his forte is.

Kuroko no Basuke: Lead CP

 

[Kaiten]

So the big news coming next week is anime news that broke three days ago. Well played Jump, well played.

I think that Fujimaki is doing lead color page like One piece ones from last Cover.I hope not.
