What's the point of there being an evil organisation if there's no action?

What's the point of there being an evil organisation if there's no action?

To make the story interesting, set a direction for the story. There could be many reasons for that.
And also, it could have some sort of action later down the line, even if it's not the main focus. We're only 3 chapters in.

 

[Mankichi Togawa]

There was some little action:

Spoiler

One guy with long hair from the evil organization twisted strangely the arm of one Mafia guy

Resume of raws of rest of this week new manga

Spoiler

Actage: more talk, I didn't focus too much in this chapter tbh
Bozebeats: raid to Boze base continues
Jujutsu: Female member introduced. Most of chapter would be comedy, then some action
Ziga: MC saves one guy from debris, some part of monster appears with tentacles and tries to abduct him for some reason. Then it tries to abduce the gun woman from organization from chapter 1. MC saves that woman shooting the monster with her gun

Some little more info about Chapter 3 of Noah Notes:

Spoiler

-Organization where Professor belongs is called ARK Lab
-They go to Italy because one portrait which was in one of the papers from last chapter is there
-Gyaru discovering true taste of italian pizza and gelatto
-Mafia knows about the Notes
-Evil Organization (man who twists one Mafioso who was going to attack the Professor) has Christian Cross as its symbol, and something about Holy Grail
-Evil Organization man objective is also te Professor

 

[De La Croissant]

I'd say Masamori Morita (Rokudenashi, Rookies) or Masakazu Katsura (Wingman, Video Girl Ai, I"s). Mizuki Kawashita (Ichigo 100%) is also a contender for me.

Morita is a monster. I miss him. Movements, facial expressions, details, shading. He must have about twenty assistants. XD

I feel that Horikoshi would be a Miura 2.0 if he worked on a monthly magazine. His art has evolved a lot since Zoo.

Furudate has a super simplified style (compare the first chapter with the last) but full of energy. I would love to see him doing an adventure shonen.

You need conflict. Without conflict main characters will not have room to grow.

 

[shoyoboyo]

Yup, conflict is pretty much the easiest way to make things interesting. Just look at Fujimaki having to make some characters evil to make the matches "interesting".

 

[xAsum0x]

Sure but I guess my point of view is skewed because I'm an action junky at heart. Maybe they'll try to outwit each other for the notes?

Well, for the moment in chapter 3 of Noah notes we have

Spoiler

Mafia with guns and mysterious crusaders twisting arms in a strange way

 

[SharkBait]

Assuming that isnt yet another mis translation or mis information that has so definied this week, weird to even do that in noah notes this far feels like the story needed better optimization on its execution.

 

[Mr.Fujimaster]

I do not know if it has already been posted here.

An old Shounen Jump commercial featuring Hara Tetsuo (Fist of North Star), Takahashi Yoichi (Captain Tsubasa), and Yudetamago (Kinnikuman)

Wow.

I seriously wonder how fared Shonen Jump in popularity in 1975 (aka before Kochikame, and with Harenchi and Otoko already ended).

My guess is Play Ball being the main pillar (I read that it has sold 12 million copies, which is pretty good for a pre-80 title), but I would like to discover what were most popular pre-Kochikame Jump titles.

 

[iceemperor]

Looking at the preview for next issue, there is a big present campaign set to start from Issue 18 until 21/22, the double issue in April. They're giving out various Jump goods to 11200 people and a Lycopene plushie is used as an example. Depending on future endeavours, Lycopene could end up similar to Pop Team Epic. Its plenty Meme-worthy and the potential in merchandise is definitely there. Its not the type of series to sell really well unless it really gets viral but I personally can't see it doing even 50k. Its just too twisted and in its own groove with its jokes.

I heard JJBA will be at animefest, maybe a part 5 announcement?

 

[Mankichi Togawa]

If there is no annoucement of Rokudenashi Blues in this Animefest, being 30th anniversary of title + 50th Jump anniversary, then it will never ever get anime adaptation.

I want to believe.

 

[cody]

You decide.

 

[Tamil]

You decide.

A part of me want to say yes for obvious reasons but I am worried that with Captain Tsubasa & Cells at work (plus future projects), pretty sure it'll be hectic. I remember the derps in DiU, while most were fixed in the BD's, I doubt a lot of people will let that slide with part 5 having some of the best stand fights in the entire franchise.

David Production probably wanted to be known for more than Jojo since they are a "newer studio" with a fairly small library of works, they dedicated the years 2012-2016 to Jojo and they didn't do much else as a studio in that time... I still expect the return of Jojo to happen, in 2019 if I had to guess.

I had the same guess but I hope the wait doesn't upset fans since I heard part 5 is one of the most popular parts in Japan (part 3 being the most popular). AoT S2 sales dropped hard because of it's long wait. Either way part 5 will most likely get a lot of support from the fujo fandom, they will lose their shit with these panels if animated.

Peep game from Stone this week:

Food Wars reference? I mean, what else could it be?
