5. Hunter x Hunter - "The thinking man's battle shounen". Really the series showcases how far you can take a shounen manga if you're allowed to flex your own creativity and not cater to specific audiences. HxH is a Togashi manga first and a shounen manga second.

I know I might of said this before but if not for me devoting majority of my time following Naruto and FT I would of definitely tried this series 2-3 years ago. I was aware of it around that time but only found Togashi made it when I found this forum. I think some can relate, when your deeply invested in a certain franchise it could consume your attention from other things. Even with the wall text I still think it's great. Just like how he does his characters. Like the two above you can say whatever of what their story became, they have the charm of having that one character that resonates to you and care for their developments. It's like the exact opposite of my main issue with BC.

Yonkou vs Heiji boxing match when?

I can't wait!

2. Eyeshield21 – I will never see a Hiruma anti hero ever again in Jump. Senkuu won’t cut it because BOICHI. I have an annual reread of Eyeshield every 2 years. I need Murata back in Jump ASAP.

Eyeshield21 would have definitely made my top 10....if everything after the Christmas Bowl didn't exist. I don't think there's ever been a massive drop in quality that disappointed more than Naruto and Bleach mainly because the manga up to that point was so good.

^^What Gintama incident?

 

[shoyoboyo]

I believe that Yonkou claimed the "climax" Gintama had announced for it a while back meant it was ending in that chapter, but he turned out to be wrong.

That is very much true and I believe that's why I stuck by Naruto and Bleach to the end despite knowing their obvious decline and quality. You just get too invested that its hard to break away and find something else knowing that it may be good whereas if what you reading has absolutely nothing that you care for its much easier to break away. So it doesn't matter how good someone tells you something is you're not going to easily invest in it automatically.

Yuuna-san anime for this summer season was announced in January or in announcement with new seiyuus that was earlier today?

Was annonced during Jump Festa last december

 

[SharkBait]

Taikobo feels like the smartest jump protagonist the magazine has ever had, only like Light, Asta, and Naruto come close to his intelligence.

The anime this year is so good.

I enjoy that arc because everyone comes together, like captain tsubasa.
Which prince of tennis did not do until the sequel. A great “what if” they all in the same team.
You can say i have fallen into Inugak trap card.

If you go back to 2016 ya boi Yonkou said Bleach will end a week earlier. Never forget.

Random question time, who's the best artist in the history of Jump? Inoue or Murata no? I caught up to Tsugumomo recently and kinda amazed at what manga artists can do during fights (of course OPM already showed me dae wae). Too bad the mangakas on his Boichi shit.

 

[MangAniMY]

I can't wait!

I request the extended setting...

(rest of the yonkou, the commanders etc)

There was actually a poll about this last year in that regard.
http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/int...etizens-choose-jump-best-manga-artist/.115810
1.Takeshi Obata (Death Note)
2.Akira Toriyama (Dragon Ball)
3.Takehiko Inoue (Slam Dunk)
4.Tsukasa Hojo (City Hunter)
5.Hirohiko Araki (JoJo's Bizarre Adventure)
6.Masakazu Katsura (DNA²)
7.Eiichiro Oda (One Piece)
8.Hideaki Sorachi (GinTama)
9.Tetsuo Hara (Fist of the North Star)
10.Shun Saeki (Food Wars! Shokugeki no Soma)
11.Yusuke Murata (Eyeshield 21)
12.Kentaro Yabuki (To Love-Ru -Trouble-)
13.Masashi Kishimoto (Naruto)
14.Yoshihiro Togashi (Yu Yu Hakusho, Hunter X Hunter)
15.Tite Kubo (Bleach)
16.Akira Amano (Reborn!)
17.Osamu Akimoto (Kochikame)
18.Buichi Terasawa (Space Adventure Cobra)
19.Haruichi Furudate (Haikyu!!)
20.Katsura Hoshino (D.Gray-man)

Obata and Inoue are peerless and have done shit that are way above the standard of a Jump artist. I feel like Murata's prime weakness is that he's character designs are bland.

By the way, if you guys didn't realize already, the bold words on the MHA poster show a young All Might. I'm guessing as you age, your face gets dynamic shading lol

Wonder if they'll ever stop pushing Boruto, sales have dropped while personally the content in both medias has been poor lately. It was some recent filler arc with the only highlight being Temari was involved for jonin business. The manga has been abysmal for awhile and the anime still isn't at the Momoshiki arc.

Deku in post Stain outfit but pre Yakuza outfit...

 

[Doughboy]

??? Wut? Thought there wasn't one?
