Where do you people get this overwhelming confidence from

Where do you people get this overwhelming confidence from

character design and content is a key predictor of quality. Why else has Ziga and Jujutsu thrived.

 

[Mankichi Togawa]

Time to newbie reviews:

Act-tage

Spoiler

More talk between MC and that other girl. Looks like a confrontation between them is happening (not a fighting, more like a ''Shokugeki'')

Noah Notes

Spoiler

We are in a ship now. Chapter totally dedicated to that chinese paleontologist (Noah almost didn't appear in the chapter): Now we know he is able to predict storms and has a psycho side which has terrified gyaru-chan. Oh, and Noah is able to obliverate sea storms with a gun shoot

 

[cody]

I gotta say this has to be the most uninteresting serialization round in a long ass time

I have to agree with you.

Stop talking about Jujutsu kaisen so I can have some semblance of hope that it'll survive

 

[Mammo]

Remember when the TOC used to come out around 10 EST every Tuesday night? Good times.

remember when the leaks were more like a puzzle? only cps and bottom 5 were given and we had to fill the rest?

Its been like this for 7 months now

Food Wars is in free fall mode
DarliFra outsold WNL despite early reports

I'm not sure why he went with this Higurashi style of face.

I doubt he have any reason besides loving Higurashi moes faces

I'm fine with Shindou Masaoki not doing his GFC seroes if that means Joreishi Rentaro is dead
Joreishi Rentaro was boring

define "thrived"
Ziga debuted in the bottom 3 and Jujutsu isn't so far ahead of it

I gotta say this has to be the most uninteresting serialization round in a long ass time

the most uninteresting one since the Sporting Salt, Hi-Fi Cluster, Judos round

Momiji no Kisetsu is a tryhard March comes in like a lion clone
I don't want to judge Kimi o Shinrayku Seyo! too harshly because chapters in Giga were so short you couldn't invest in it, but from what I've seen it's not that funny or at least not my type of humor

I'm surprised Joreishi Rentaro even won the GFC, it wasn't bad but it's basically every exorcist manga that ever existed. I liked Sky Claw more. His art is very impressive for his age

 

[Belkac3m]

Noah notes, ziga and act-age should be axed.

How dare

 

[De La Croissant]

The swim ring is totally unnecessary.

 

[nonowa]

That Yuuna picture reminds me of the 5ch conversations on what Act-Age should have done to survive and some people were saying that Kei and Tenshi should have been given larger breasts.

 

[Tamil]

Good. Hopefully they can save the series or at least end it well, we'll see.

In some other news, I think Shokugeki's Central arc is nearly over from text spoilers.
128+ chapters. Damn.

Dude, that's like nearly 50% of the manga.

Better quality of the cover this week

 

[Mammo]

you can tell Masayoshi Satoshou used to be an assistant for Tabata because the characters look like they could stab someone with their jaws

 

[SharkBait]

The character with the yellow is drawn weirdly, something is off, either the clothes are too large, the neck is out of proportion with other things or the head is small.6

A video with the 20 Jump games from that special Famicon (didn't know it is going to be golden color)


You could classify them as:
-2 Jump general games (like the DS Jump Ultimate Stars. Still, second game has only 7 characters)
-3 Dragon Ball games
-2 Saint Seiya games
-2 Hokuto no Ken games
-2 Captain Tsubasa games
-2 Kinnikuman games
-2 Hiroshi Motomiya works games (remember, he's Otoko Ippiki author. Both of his titles there are historical manga)
-1 Rokudenashi Blues game (please, get an anime for once)
-1 Sakigake Otokojuku game
-1 Magical Taruruto-kun game
-1 Dragon Quest game
-1 bizarre game (from one 1977 work which had only 1 volume and had only 5 chapters)

PD: No Ring ni Kakero or Play Ball games

>same oversaturated red hair as MC from Full Drive

I like how they include Dragon Quest as a Jump title

interesting that Sekiryuuou (9 volumes), Tenchi o Kurau (4 volumes), Ankoku Shinwa (1 volume) all got games

Tenchi o Kurau actually inspired multiple games not included in this video

Hiroshi Motomiya influence truly is big

Dragon Quest was a pretty popular 90s manga in Jump so it makes sense that they would include it.
