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

[Mawara]

Maybe I'm confusing his video with somebody else's.
I know somebody made a video directly about rankings decline after I posted my research.

Don't want to fuel oil in this fiery discussion, The video of Eyepatch did indeed remind me of someone, though I am not a friend of reddit, therefore I didnt read your list, when you put it online.
it actually reminds me of a 2 part-Bleach video of Y Ruler of Time, aka Nik from Weekly Manga Recap, about the decline of Bleach's popularity:
First and second
The only thing I would add to this would be, that Nik made this videos in 2013, long before Eyepatch's video.

Viz podcast this week was a youtube video to celebrate the 4th anniversary of lunching the podcast

Spoiler: link

in the middle of the podcast the fire alarm goes off and they have to exit the building

it isn't a gag or acting, it's real, the video cut off after that and return when they're allowed to enter the building again

how the fuck can you be this fucking unlucky? the only video podcast you ever do have a fucking fire alarm going off on it??!!

 

[Nakura]

Ah I forgot they were doing a video podcast. Luckily I haven't listened to it yet; guess I'll watch it instead.

Hasn't been much to actually talk about, most Jump chapters I read this week (MHA, Food Wars) were pretty nondescript. I'm like 8 chapters behind Neverland. Read past two Yuragi chapters, what was the occasion for Yuragi 60 to get full color? or was it just cause? Glad the author is finally bringing back the battles, what I've really been wanting to see since the dragon god arc

 

[Mammo]

there is a full color version of yuuna chapter in every digital wsj issue

it used to be food wars but they changed it to yuuna recently

 

[Leoat12]

Shokugeki no Soma has been too light, if you know what I mean, to be worth of having a full color chapter. :P

Did Black Clover even receive a boost from it's Jump festa OVA? Or are the boosts from Jump festa OVA's usually negligible?

 

[TM2]

If it was aired the same way it would any other anime then it would understandably get a boost.

How are OVA's distributed?
My understanding is that it is normally published alongside the source material.

 

[Mammo]

this is the first time I've ever heard the term ova sales boost

in order to get a sales boost you most get bigger exposure

dvds that are included with volumes don't give you bigger give exposure

because its target is people who are already buying volumes

 

[Heiji]

Hunter x Hunter #34 will be out 26/06 (monday). Perhaps resume in Shônen Jump out 26/06.

 

[DyanSon]

A healthy backlog for BnHA. Damn I'm sure when episode 9 airs its going to give it more backlog.

Its good to see KnY sell well too.

Hunter x Hunter #34 will be out 26/06 (monday). Perhaps resume in Shônen Jump out 26/06.

If only.

There's been weirder reasons for a boost. Remember Kingdom?

 

[shoyoboyo]

Kingdoms boost was an anomaly that nobody saw coming. The OVA for Black Clover is really just fan service.

 

[Mammo]

Kingdom boost isn't that weird if you think about it

it got an episode centered around it in a very popular tv talk show watched by a lot of viewers

Hunter x Hunter #34 will be out 26/06 (monday). Perhaps resume in Shônen Jump out 26/06.

or he learned from World Trigger that he doesn't need to return from hiatus to release a volume

anyway, that's good news, it means Togashi is healthy enough to draw the cover

Or he could be making HxH the next Ahiru no Sora.
But yeah the possibility of HxH coming back before World Trigger feels kind of depressing.

just imagine the shitstorm if that happens

people are already complaining about too much text, then he goes on to give them a cover with just text lol

 

[shoyoboyo]

More like he decided to take a break from Dragon Quest am I right haha

 

[Mammo]

Dragon Quest 11 release date: July 29

oh dear, talk about bad timing, if he actually returned release 10 chapters and went back to hiatus again the DQ jokes will never stop
