Mag Talk Weekly Shonen Jump [2015-2016] - Discussion and TOC Talk

I have tried it? Why else would I say it is "simple"? As an electronics user, theres other system where its way more involving and impractical due to having to delete or wipe data or find someway to use jpn currency which is far from simple.

As someone who buys manga from Amazon Japan frequently, I'd have to say that "simple" is not the word I'd use. If you have a less complex means of bypassing the limitations of regional buying (Which, I might add is at least questionable since if it were a thing that you were supposed to be able to do, it wouldn't require so much effort such as doing quasi-shady things like providing an address that isn't yours. I can't say it's "illegal", but there's that.) Then please, feel free to PM me so that we don't go further off topic. I'd like to be able to buy English manga from time to time, as well as continuing to buying Japanese manga without having to reboot my device. I'd really quite appreciate it.

On topic, Batsu was pretty decent. I feel like it could be a fun serial, though I liked the art in the Jump + oneshot better. The two leads are really likeable, and the story --while not original, is easy to get into and interesting.

I guess I'll just have to take your word for it.

Recent Nisekois have gave me the impression that he is much better at writing action oriented things, I hope he pursues it in the future as its made this manga become one I look forward to weekly for more than just smiling Ichijo and Shu scenes but now for some parts of the plot.

If I weren't like busy with two million other things, and somehow simultaneously breaking like at least three different translation promises via inactivity, Impressive, no? I'd probably translate it. I don't think that it's like, an amazing series that'll change the face of shounen manga forever, but it was fun and I actually went back to read it again. It definitely had the feeling of a oneshot that's setting up for future events. Whether it could survive in jump or not isn't something I could tell you, but I would like to read more.

 

[Soul Soul Brigade]

Well I hope more recent one-shots get turned into serials in the future. I'm only reading My Hero Academia and Black Clover right now, and my opinion on Black Clover is so bipolar I honestly don't know what to think of it. I feel like if some of the more recent one-shots like Galaxy Gangs, Zippo, Gold, and a couple of other recent one-shots where to become serials my interest in Jump would spike. The magazine, in my opinion, is plagued by old serials that really need to be replaced with by new ones, except One Piece. One Piece can keep being One Piece. Only serial to keep a constant quality to it, but I will never pick it up/get into it because it's way to long and costly to do so in my opinion.

May i ask what is your definition of "old series" ? I think you may want to branch out more ( and it's up to you to do so)




Out of 20 series ( minus Hunter X Hunter): Only One Piece, Gintama, Bleach, Toriko, and Kochikame are before 2008 , and the rest are between 2011-2015.

It is hard to pump out a series that will last for many years

The current list Between 2010-2015
2010: None survived
2011: Nisekoi
2012: Haikyuu, Psi, Assassination Classroom, Shokugeki no Souma
2013: World Trigger, Isobee Monogatari
2014: Hinomaru Zumou, My Hero Academia
2015: Black Clover, Straighten Up , (Only time will time for Mononofu and Samon-kun wa Summoner

2012 was the best year, 4 series that managed to stay for 3 years and gain popularity.

 

[Soul Soul Brigade]

Anything before Nisekoi. Nisekoi should have ended 2 to 3 volumes ago.

Or, I could just rephrase myself and say nothing in Jump but My Hero Academia and Black Clover interests me right now.

 

[RafaFedKilla]

Zippo!! will be the future of Jump. I have no doubt about it. Gold or Wonderful Wonder World needs to be serialized ASAP.

They were easily the best one-shots out of the past 2 Jump NEXTs, and don't forget Galaxy Gangs. Easily the next big thing. I'm surprised it didn't win the Golden Future Cup. Genjuui Toteku was good, but I feel like it would be axed rather quickly after starting it's serialization.

The hype is real!!!
Seriously, that's like the ideal studio for HeroAca

 

[Avok]

At least it will have good animation.

 

[SharkBait]

Eh, after seeing the quality of animation on Kekkai Sensen I don't know. Don't get me wrong, the show looked good, but the animation was "meh" at best. Concrete Revolutio has good animation though, so I guess I shouldn't be too worried.

A bones adaption means 12 episodes right?

BLast of Tempest was 26, Soul Eater was 50ish, FMA: Brotherhood was 60, Noragami and Snow White with Red Hair are 12 episodes, but got two seasons. I dont think it means anything.

 

[Soul Soul Brigade]

Oops didn't know someone replied to the comment I just deleted, awkward...

I wanted to rephrase what I said. It's cool bones got My Hero Academia. I enjoyed both their adaptions of Soul Eater, FMA: Brotherhood, and the first season of Noragami was good, still need to watch the second, and Concrete Revolutio has been pretty solid so far. However, Kekkai Sensen just left a sour taste in my mouth. I really like the manga, but the anime, I feel, was plagued by terrible pacing and rather cluttered and clunky animation. Though, besides animation, the show looked good visually (backgrounds and character design) and sounded wonderful. The Kekkai Sensen sound track is beautiful. I don't know what happened with Kekkai Sensen, animation wise, but it was rather lacking for a work by bones, or maybe I just need to re-watch it, it's been awhile.

I hope My Hero Academia doesn't have the same problems Kekkai Sensen had.

They announced that the Gintama anime is going to animate the Shogun Assassination Arc starting December 2nd. Source: http://natalie.mu/comic/news/164836

For those that aren't aware, this starts of a series of events that forces the series into one serious arc after another in a plot in the manga that is still ongoing, rather than a bunch of episodic comedy arcs that can be done in any order with only occasional serious arcs that have conclusive endings (The anime usually animates Gintama arcs in whatever order they feel like, rather than the chronological order in the manga). It's been doing that series of serious arcs for about 62~ chapters now. So that means most likely the Excalibur Arc, Giant Arc, Idol Arc, Ikumatsu's Husband Arc, Guardian Spirit Arc, and Love Potion arc won't be animated. Or they'll do maybe one of those in the time they have left (There's a preview for one episode already showing it's none of those, so there's 3 episodes whose content are still unknown). Plus a bunch of one-off chapters they haven't done, and there might be more that I missed.

Because of that, it's very possible the Gintama anime will end when they finish this arc and the other arcs after it that Sorachi-sensei has said are leading to the end of the series. So that could also mean that the anime's ending is going to end at the manga's ending (Otherwise the anime is going to end on a cliffhanger. I think the fact that they're not animating every arc means that's what they're trying to avoid), so they may be starting it now so the last few episodes will come out soon after the manga ends, that way the anime has a proper conclusion that matches the manga's. Based on the speed the anime goes, that would be in 6-ish months.

Thank Goodness!!!! OUR PRAYERS HAVE BEEN ANSWERED!!!! I always thought Bones getting it would be as likely as seeing snow in summer. I just pray this will mean good things for the franchise in the future.

Judging by the looks of things, it should have a fairly decent budget. At least two steps above Pierrot and Toei's, it's highly likely that they'll do it in seasons since there's a good stopping point at Ch. 59. Pacing-wise, counting fillers, a 24-episode season should end at Ch. 59 nicely.

 

[Caiops]

Boku no Hero by BONES, oh my god this is amazing, Kekkai Sensen OST tier please.

Now whats missing is just Hinomaru Zumou by Production I.G, Toei stay away from it

 

[calimike]

Even if someday OP ends, it seems Oda could still write countless untold sidestories of characters like Señor Pink.

Hello guys,
Is someone interest about Kung Fu Master? Is someone going to translate into english?
Thanks to all

I honestly don't know what the animators are thinking. I mean, they're skipping a bunch of content to animate an arc that leads to another arc that leads to another arc that isn't finished. Even if they're confident they can keep from catching up right away, why skip a buttload of content just to do this? They have to know animating this arc is pretty much heading right into a point of no return.

Of course I'm also excited since it's been such a great ride so far, so...I'm conflicted. I guess if they wanted to they could end with the Assassination arc in like March and let the anime take a break or something? Cause April 2016 would be a year of airing for Gintama unless they want to really be in a bad situation adaption wise.
