Mag Talk Weekly Shonen Jump [2017] - Discussion and TOC Talk

[Leoat12]

This new series round has been weird... Robot x Laserbeam are not even ranked yet and there are already series old enough to talk about cancellation. I hope Jump never does this again, it is not good for the new series in particular to have this huge spotlight relay. As I said before, this dilutes the votes and make everybody look bad in the rankings... The series were not that good as well, but the vote distribution also has some blame.

God thats awesome. Saying that, I do think Tabata's style suites the series better.

Maybe your vision has been influenced by more than a year of seeing the same art style, but as someone that never read Black Clover I say that Horikoshi is indeed better. I always thought that Black Clover art style is a little weird, honestly.

I think we've still yet to see properly if this huge batch will be good for new series or not. We've seen a few different times that it can take a while for stuff to get going and gather a solid fanbase and a big batch of new series could be great for that. The complete failures drop to the bottom right away which will keep the stuff with at least some fans high up enough to survive a round or two, giving them some time to figure out what the readers want to see and potentially rise up to a safer spot in the rankings.

Hot damn, Hori really does improve things just with his art style. Hoping Tabata doesn't butcher Deku completely just like Kishimoto did.

Here is a brief glimpse of Black Clover drawn by Horikoshi(from GIGA):

Spoiler

it looks like this will be a cover for something? but what is it? novel? drama cd?

I feel like it will be the same as Kishi's. It will probably be Izuku with Asta's face.

It's just a dust jacket that's included in the Jump GIGA issue that you can stick on any volume you want.

All I can see in this picture is Aizawa, Momo Yaoyorozu, and Bakugo in Black Clover Cosplay. It's not a bad picture but I much prefer Tabata's art style.

Looking forward to seeing how the new Yaiba volume sells considering the massive increase 5 had over 4.

 

[Nakura]

Nice, best cover so far.

 

[RafaFedKilla]

I NEED Jump Giga now. Give me these miniseries and one shot paradise.

 

[shoyoboyo]

Here's hoping it can finally get 100k. Last volume barely reached 90k before dropping out right? I want more and more success for Gotouge-sensei.

>> Imported Posuka's artbook.
>> Found out there will be an English release.
>> The announcement was made a week before my order.
>> Shipping fee I will never get it back.
FeelsBadMan , at least according to jagman it has both English/Japanese so it shouldn't be too bad.

When is the English release? I was actually going to import it as well.

July this year.
The Art of Posuka Demizu Paperback – July 10, 2017 - Amazon

 

[jagman1x3]

They're actually releasing it in English?
I'm almost willing to put down money it'll be the exact same thing but with the Japanese text taken out.

 

[savethecat]

I don't think Tabata it Horikoshi are necessarily that far apart from of each other in terms of skills. However Horikoshi is a better character designer

 

[shoyoboyo]

Yup. I in my opinion Tabata has way better backgrounds and environment designs. Hori's character designs are top notch though. That popularity poll color page with everyone in medieval fantasy costumes still impresses me to this day.
