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

[Mankichi Togawa]

Tbh Jump manga that I most want to be turned into anime (I'm still surprised it never got an anime adaptation) is Rokudenashi Blues

 

[TyVip]

inb4 Gonzo plans to adapt all 17 volumes in 12 episodes.

 

[ChocoBar9]

Studio Gonzo?
It's the same studio of Gantz and Black Cat, right?
I expect a good adaptation.

Oh yeah forgot they did Black Cat!

This adaptation is fucked.

 

[Tamil]

Just give me that visual

*faints*

I just want a new gag manga. It's so sad now that Saiki and SW are gone, the magazine doesn't feel the same for me. Lycopene isn't that interesting. Don't fail me with the next serialization round, WSJ. Please.

Just wait for the GFC winners series.

Are there any raws for the 3rd chap of K.K in the City of Fog?

That's nice. The manga looks interesting.
It would be nice to see Psyren and Takeshi getting anime.
I hope the adaptation is good and do not disappoint like Houshin Engi.

Takeshi anime would be amazing but highly unlikely sadly.

They can skip content and modify it to reach vol17 in 12 episodes. It can be the next zetman.

 

[Chuck_Atlas]

Speaking of Takeshi, wasnt Shimabu's one shot debuting this issue?

 

[tirakai]

Speaking of Takeshi, wasnt Shimabu's one shot debuting this issue?

That's happening in April.

 

[Chuck_Atlas]

Alright then thanks for clarifying

 

[Nemesis]

Figured it, bet Sunrise didn’t expect for the manga to go on for a bit more, the arc as whole is worth at least 3 anime cours

Sunrise isn't doing Gintama for like two years. It's Bandai Namco Pictures.

 

[Tamil]

Speaking of Takeshi, wasnt Shimabu's one shot debuting this issue?

April 23rd.

Just pray it gets serialized one day. If he turns Build King to a battle shonen, it'll be like Fortnite. That game is super popular so who knows if Shimabu may end up doing it.

Also holy shit Hori does not like doing color pages if Heroaca is only getting a cover next issue.

I don't see why there is no color page for Heroaca. They never list Lead color pages in the previews for upcoming issues. I remember when it was explicitly stated that Boruto would get cover while Kimetsu gets lead. Nothing like that is written here.

Also this might be a long running series for Sumou given that they split the Directorial roles. They might put it after BC in that timeslot or, unless I missed an announcement, they might put it after Major on NHK-E. It's become a question of whether they can put up with that grueling schedule and that may be why we have a split in directors. Its just the director, not general director, that I'm not fond of for completely messing up Jitsu wa Watashi wa. That series could have become one of the best rom-com anime this decade if properly adapted. They completely messed up the character designs and overall charm of the series. Its definitely better than anything that's run in Jump this decade. It doesn't help that the character designer also did chief animation director on half of that series.

Yeah, I was thinking that the two directors might be clue that this is a long adaptation. It's probably either going to take the BC timeslot or it'll go to NHK, but I'm pretty sure that NHK are stacked up for this year, I don't think they have any slots open in any of their channels, but who knows. I pointed out that the last time Gonzo had a two cour anime was way back in 2011. I'm pretty worried about this adaptation, no gonna lie. The pacing is also going to be a huge problem. If this has 24-26 episodes, then it'll be a rushed mess, I know sumo matches are very quick, but this is an adaptation from anime to manga and this isn't real life sumo. We do know it will adapt 17 volumes, with 48-52 episodes, then the pace would be around 3 chapters per episode.

Doubt HZ gets a fat budget due to 30k/volume.

If it has more episode counts, then the adaption as a whole will be shitty.

if it has less episode counts, then the pacing will be shitty.

Not a win win situation here.
My condolence. Houshin Engi welcome its newest member.

I won't say the adaptation is dead quite yet, we still don't have that key visual and I want to see a PV at least. It is looking bad, but I doubt it can be as bad as the Houshin Engi tragedy.

The budget aside, because it'll probably just as much as any other anime, they can fully adapt 17 volumes in as much as 39 episodes, similar to Jojo part 4. However, most daytime slots are either 2 cours or 50ish episodes. I haven't seen any daytime anime do something other than 25 or 50 episodes, besides Heroaca and the following two series but that's a different matter altogether, a special of the special case. Its either one or the other. I'd think they'd want to put this on daytime to get as much exposure as possible rather than late-night where only a relatively small group is watching.

 

[shoyoboyo]

Well, Gonzo was definitely the last studio anyone was expecting.

 

[De La Croissant]

I'll start the campaign: Please, Ame Talk, help Zumou!

 

[ChocoBar9]

As in, you can't animate something if you're already dead yourself.
