OK, but what was being talked is the magazine. The magazine is exclusive Japanese, so you have to specify. The conversation started about Cyborg Roggy being a substitute for Gintama in the magazine and the magazine even postponing its beginning for Gintama ending.
Some things take more time than others. You won't see me mentioning a specific time frame in the earlier posts. :P
The series in the past months has ranked in the Top 3 and even had 3 consecutive 1st places. So what are you basing yourself by saying "very popular but not popular enough ...".
Doesn't matter if you mention a specific time frame or not. One Piece didn't substituted Dragon Ball specially because it came 2 years later. So, unless you're talking of some specific kind of substitution, then explain it! Don't just talk of a complicated and not direct type of substitution while not explaining of what you're really talking about.
No need to be rude.
There will be always be a new "The Big 3" for WSJ.
I was only astonished.
The success of Reborn is put in doubt for many reasons... It stayed in the mangazine for 8 years, but half of this was in the bottom (appoximately, I don't know the actual number and it is probably a bit less, before someone ask) and many people defend that it was cancelled. I don't believe that it was cancelled, but that there were reasons, there were.
Not sure what your talking about. Your not the mangaka dude, you have no idea what he has in store for the readers of Boku no Hero lol. Yeah you think it'll run out of ideas because your not the creator of the series. How do you even become popular too fast?
Yes, I'm not a mangaka. I never said I was a mangaka, but I know a lot about basic story telling and I do read stories/interviews about real mangakas. And one thing I learn about grabbing readers attention, at least in today's shonen, be very flashy. That isn't a bad thing, I get it, but how long do you think he can keep that flash lit? So far he's doing a good job but he have to got back and work on that story. Sadly, he told the whole story in 3 chapters.
I don't think this is a matter of the actual story material. Usually series are on an upward trend until they get an anime, and that usually effects popularity in some way. It's huge for some, minimal for others, it depends on a variety of factors. People discover series at different times as well, so popularity can snowball. Now, you might end up being completely right about the story, who knows? But that doesn't mean it'll get less popular any time soon.
It's not about you having an opinion that BnH wouldn't be successful, it's more like we are skeptical that things would turn out as you predicted because you're basing your argument on personal taste rather than hard data. There have been countless times in WSJ thread when someone calls a series is doomed to fail/would become the next big 3 only to be proven otherwise later on.*sigh* Fine, sorry for having an opinion.
All I'm saying Baku No Hero isn't really new nor fresh for WSJ. The series is following all WSJ footnotes perfectly: Friendship, Cool fights, nice character designs, but the plot feels too weak.
I don't mind a simple story but if the story just giving me nothing but flashy action and cool character design, eventually I might became bored of the series.
Yes, I'm looking at this from my perspective compared to everyone else, but that's me.
Again, sorry, I won't ever talk about Baku No Hero ever again.
Ah yes, but it completely depends on how one defines "success" of certain series. Is it their longevity? Is it about narrative experience? Is it about sales figures? Perhaps one day someone would say that Bleach isn't a successful series simply because the story does not roll in the direction they want it to be, while sales figures might provide evidence for contradicting arguments. I'd say Hitman Reborn is more or less one of the series which success is undermined by the fact that the plotline did not please many people.The success of Reborn is put in doubt for many reasons...

Assassination Classroom didn't have a great increase in popularity since the anime started by what I saw... Before the anime I said that it wouldn't increase that much because it was nearly it is limit and it ended up happening so far. Let's see the next volume sales to say for sure. Shokugeki no Soma has more potential to benefit of an anime, I'm exciting to see the effect it will have. In my crazy dreams, I see Shokugeki selling like Haikyuu or even better.
And yes, I agree. It's a popular series, THAT'S A FACT! STRAIGHT UP FACT! And I'm not saying the series will fall apart any time soon. Nope. Matter of a fact, I think the series will become more popular once the anime comes out. Big time. But once that anime series is over, Baku No Hero will be just another fun WSJ series. I'm NOT SAYING IT WILL BE AX, nope-nope, but nobody going to try and copy No Hero.
Touch was selling around 1 Million per volume. Slam Dunk volumes sold better than Dragon Ball! Kuroko no Basket was also a huge hit! Right now a lot of sport series are selling really well.
Here is normally talked about commercial success. I think that what makes a successful series is its stability, manage to end while still popular. Taking extremely example first, Dragon Ball and Slam Dunk ended when they are in its peak. Naruto had a decrease in the last years, but it also ended with a incredible popularity. I could say this about Death Note and Bakuman as well... Those are the examples I can remember. Reborn was long, but it didn't end well in the charts, it was not a triumphal ending. Bleach is going to the same path, it was once every popular, but now it is in process of declining. They are not complete success because they didn't manage to maintain its popularity.
No reprint scheduled. The anime ended, it is expected.
