Mag Talk Weekly Shonen Jump [2018] - Discussion and TOC Talk

Makes sense considering how popular MHA is here in America. Kinda feel bad for the Kingdom fans who wanted a physical release though.

 

[Doughboy]

So many Bleach and Kingdom fans triggered under that viz tweet. Can’t relate.

Would love to meet Horikoshi, but I'm sitting over here in Ireland so the news doesn't mean that much for me. It's still cool that they're bringing him over. Hopefully Viz record the panel with him, like they did with Matsui(assuming there will be one).

I dont know why people thought it would be a license announcement, considering itd be far more likely for them to have announced kingdom during a panel at a con, also I doubt they would anyway since its so many chapters (560+ chapters, right???), unless people want another large Omnibus release Kurobas style.

Also a big announcement like this used for something like Kingdom??? fans were setting themselves up for disappointment.

I was hoping itd have been Captain tsubasa streaming in america...or Katekyo Hitman Reborn getting an engdub...or HeroAca movie getting a theater release here.

i thought manga authors go to Europe all the time, and the Europe cons are so much easier to attend and smaller and more intimate.

No Jump cover today? Last two weeks we had in on Tuesday. Also, what was in next week cover.

Kingdom also doesn't have any sort of fan presence in the US unfortunately which can be blamed by the shitty anime.

The Reborn manga flopped hard in the US that Viz cancelled it and anime doesnt have much of a following here either for them to even give it a consideration.

Horikoshi is going to Comic-Con.

I don't live in the United States.

People will ask questions about Mineta.

Horikoshi is dead.

Really? I had no clue. Guess they held the license for it but never gave it a domestic release same with Eyeshield 21.

I swear, if I hear people harassing Horikoshi about Mineta, I'm going to .

To be fair the only people I've seen/heard complaing about Mineta is people on 4chan and reddit so I'd say its about a 60/40 split on whether they bother Horikoshi about Mineta.

Well if we're talking about songs, then BC's OP wins this season. If it's the OP as a whole then CT wins pretty easily.

 

[Mankichi Togawa]

I'm the strange person that would ask Horikoshi for Rikidou Satou

Sorry but NUMBAH WUN is better in both regards the fact that they put the original OP as the ED was brillant to say the least. Showed a lot more respect to the legacy of the franchise than CHU has done.

America people cosplay Mineta, so #MinetaHate is pretty much a vocal minority thing online.

I think hes an adorable goofball at times and Im glad his peers do reel him in (mainly KiriKami).

Most the time when they say they have a "Big Announcement" it feels like it's always something like "we have new merch in the store", or something underwhelming.
I love Viz as a company. Just saying the "Big Announcement" actually was something big, and not something underwhelming

They cool guys running the accounts now

Problem is that what is considered "big" is different to various people. Getting a famous mangaka from a popular manga series to come overseas is less important than licensing a decade old seinen manga that most people outside Japan have never heard of? Hardly but my condolences nonetheless. This isnt close to when they announced big news and it turned out it was them confirming that they had licensed a show for streaming....months after it finished airing on Crunchyroll.

Praying for Ziga's triumphant rise this week and BLack Clovers return to the upper echelon.

and food wars

Spoiler

Taku 2nd seat, please. SoTaku is canon

Why bleach and kingdom tho? I'm unaware of the reason of this chaos.

Kingdom fans thought that for some unknown reason the big announcement would be a localization of the Kingdom manga and are now salty that it wasn't. No clue why Bleach fans are butthurt again.
