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

[savethecat]

See how the silence was better than people talking about whatever subject here? Now they are again talking about video from people who don't deserve our attention. People are playing in their hands, talking about it and giving them views.

I mean, to be fair, No one really hates Super Eyepath Wolf.
Most people talking about the video say they like his content. Just not this video and pointing the mistakes in the video. So it's more like constructive criticisms than anything.

It's not like with Forneverworld and James Hayson where they're almost seen as a joke.

Speak for yourself. I hate his videos.

They're all a bunch of bozos, it's just that Super Eyepatch Cunt is a lesser one than Forneverworld/Jaymes. His video is still lazy with little research and quit glorifying his content. It's nothing special.

His "Why you should watch" videos are very stupid and he also picks mainstream series. Why not pick an obscure title? Anyway, I don't see why anyone would want to sit through like a 25+ minute video of why they should get into a series when they could've just skimmed through some reviews and read like the first few chapters by then. (if it's an anime then they could've literally watched the first episode by then)

Idk he comes off as trying too hard at being analytical in his videos. He's annoying. At least with Forneverworld/Jaymes they're literally a joke...

So from:

• Total OP sale dropped since 2010
• Couple old, established series ended in 2016
• 6 new series started recently

he somehow came to the conclusion that "JUMP is purposely ending old series in order to find new series that sell even bigger"? How do you not think that new series are in response of the old series ending, not the other way around.
It's pretty funny even if we consider his ignorance about Strong World bump.

I don't think that's what he was trying to say. I might be mistaken, but I think he was trying to say that Jump is looking for fresh new series to make the magazine itself sell, not just volume sales. Obviously any new developments in the previously running series weren't boosting magazine sales at all, so they want to try serializing new series that might boost the sales of the magazine.

Something that Jump have been doing since the beginning of their existent. Shocking news there. *gasp*

Which anime youtuber would you say is the best out the ones that cover/covered Jump series?

 

[Leoat12]

People forgetting that Jump is a fucking business and they don't buy a pin without having money in mind. Just a normal day in Jump discussions. XD

 

[AllEyez]

I dont hate Super eyepatch.

But i think his content is nothing special and hes starting to be overrated.

I notice whenever he makes a new video theres a thread about them on Neogaf, Reddit and Gamefaq.
This seemed to have been happening since he released that Bleach video(which has 1 million views, and the first thing u see when u search up bleach on YT)

He hit gold with that bleach video. Cause now he got a little bunch of stans who love whatever he says

If you're looking for one that has the mindset of someone who would frequent here, or any similar place, then I can't think of one. I don't expect them to know much, because not everyone follows the magazine as closely, but it'd be cool to be able to watch someone who is in fact familiar with the magazine in that way.

I can't think of much. For anime in general, definitely TheCanipaEffect. I like his animator/studio spot-light segments. One of my fav. is one where he shot down the whole Unlimited Budget meme for the Fate series

He puts quite a lot of research into his videos. Or a more relevant video....

The Weekly Manga Recap guys seem like they've got pretty good knowledge of Jump from what I've watched, though they're a podcast rather than the proper youtubers most people are probably looking for.

The problem is probably just that there's not enough of an audience for it. Manga as a medium tends to be something people get into a bit later from what I've seen (especially for stuff that doesn't have massively popular anime adaptations), and even within that the people who know and care about the in-depth workings of WSJ is pretty small. Mix that with the youtube audience leaning to the younger side in general and you're left with very little potential viewership.

If I never found this forum a few years ago, I probably wouldn't know how to tell a series is going to get axed, let alone when the more intricate details

I started on Narutoforums, then toyed with Arlong Park, then came here when I realized everything from there regarding WSJ was parroted or taken frome here.

Kimetsu no Yaiba 6 volumes : 1 million copies in print

For the rest of the advertisement:

 

[Optics]

im surprised no one posted this yet, MHA season 1 got a rating of 4.40 average which includes DVR and TV ratings.
It did a lot better than we initially thought.

Yakusoku no Neverland: 3 volumes: 700,000

It went up another 200k from its last announcement of 500k total at the beginning of April.
The rest of the advertisement:

 

[TyVip]

^ I pointed out couple days ago that posuka said there is an emergency reprint, but she doesn't specify the amount. Good to know.

Also, i honestly thought Yaiba only has 600k in print as of volume 6, also good to know that itbis 400k better than i though.

So

Neverland 3 volumes: 700,000
Yuragi 5 volumes: 1, 000, 000
Yaiba 6 volumes: 1, 000, 000

But not a lot of us were considering DVR. The TV ratings weren't that great so DVR gave it that push.

Wow, it's nice to see how much Kimetsu has grown, especially given the humble beginnings it came from. Honestly, early on it seemed like something that would have been axed 12 chapters in given the questionable art and average start, but I'm glad it was given the time to grow into what it is now. I didn't expect an advertisement that big. Could anyone translate what the panels say?

 

[Leoat12]

Kimetsu no Yaiba is in my plans for the future, but my queue is long right now... I think it's the only manga I consider picking up right now from those I still don't read.

 

[iceemperor]

With this, 3 of the 4 New order series (Black Clover, Yuragi, Samon and Kimetsu) have hit at least 1 million copies in print.
