Not extremely Jump related, but Ed Blaylock(Voice of Sengoku in the english dub of One Piece) just passed away.

RIP

Part of me knew this would happen and the other part of me is screaming in despair

This season? 12+/- 1 like everything else. In total, probably 12,634.25 knowing Pierrot.

I thought it was going to be a long runner since it's following Shippuden?

He's saying during the spring season it could I go for 12 episodes because there's only 12 weeks in the spring season, but it'll definitely go well beyond the spring season of this year.

It'll probably run so long as it's successful and makes money tbh

At least this time around the manga will never do the anime's justice. Am I right?
Really, I think it will be good to stick to being a long runner, altough a shorter one this time.

speaking of Boruto, volume 3 is out next month, watching how the anime affects its sales is going to be interesting

these are the last rankings for the first 2 volumes before exiting oricon top 50
Boruto -Naruto Next Generations- #1 (19,705 / 372,314)
Boruto -Naruto Next Generations- #2 (23,069 / 290,008)

Started reading Samon, and its hilarious. Can definitely see why it survived as long as it has. It feels pretty fresh, and is nice to have an MC who's a total dick/troll. It doesn't seem like it will have much depth though from what ive read, so even if its cancelled soon, it will probably end up being the perfect length.

 

[savethecat]

Haven't ppl said Samon feel like it's about to end

Inagaki message to Dr.Stone English readers, read from down to up (ignore the poor engrish and appreciate the effort)

And now the actual question: Are there any characters(either protagonists, villains or sidecharacters) you don't like/enjoy, because they are too powerful?
My example for this would be Todoroki from My Hero Academia. I actually like his backstory, but not only do I think he is too powerful, I also think his powers arent that exciting to watch at. Most times just using fire & ice in not interesting ways.
Similiar case with Trafalgar Law from One Piece. His devil fruit power is just too OP(pun intended).

Naruto is the first one that came to mind. Mostly because of how he got that much power. Naruto started off preaching how status and natural talent aren't everything, you can be bad at something, but work hard enough to stand equal to the geniuses. Then down the line, Naruto was just as naturally talented as Sasuke and just received massive power up after power up.

BHA became instant classic with it's new episode. In 10-20 years people will look back at it and think of it like the golden days of shonen jump animes. Like people see dragon ball now.

I'm still stunned each week by how good the OST is, and how well it's used. I got so many goosebumps at the end of the episode. I'm loving the new season.

Both of the OPs haven't been that good though.

 

[Nakura]

Both of the OPs haven't been that good though.

I really like the OP, but I wasn't talking about the OP.

 

[savethecat]

I think the second OP is great

 

[Mammo]

yeah the soundtrack have been on point this season, just like pacing and animation, even the filler scenes and filler character's interactions are great

and I love both op, I prefer the first one, but that just because of my taste in music

>novel
for what purpose? couldn't we get a prequel manga about Ace or Zoro? just have one of Oda's assistants draws it or something

 

[TyVip]

The novel could be based on Oda's scripts and the author just make it more descriptive with words.
