The top 10 didn't change much compared to 2016. Just that AssClass is gone and Magi took the number 10 spot.

If the list is correct then Tokyo ghoul would also move to the second spot selling more than Attack on titan.

 

[Mankichi Togawa]

I guess 2018 will be the same with Promised Neverland stealing Magi spot, and maybe something else stealing Shokugeki spot.

The Making of Jump UT ch 4 is out on the English Jump site for anyone curious to see some of the WSJ Uniqlo collab t-shirt designs. There's some pretty cool ones in there.

This still looks better than most of Toei’s OP

I still disagree. As much hate people give to Toei, you have to admit they really nailed the art style of OP down, unlike that IG OVA which doesn't really resemble OP's art. Also WCI is probably the best OP anime has looked in years. The soundtrack with Toei's OP has always been incredible as well.

I would never want IG to do the OP anime, they can't even handle it given their studio size at the time wasn't nearly as big as Toei's. Kinda the same way how people wanted Ufotable to do the Toriko anime so badly but fail to realize that it's impossible for them to handle a long runner.

I guess 2018 will be the same with Promised Neverland stealing Magi spot, and maybe something else stealing Shokugeki spot.

GOLDEN KAMUY. It's gonna be one of the most satisfying steals.

Oh yes, I forgot about it. That's it, 2018 will be 2017 except Kamuy and Neverland entering for Shokugeki and Magi.

So Jojo anime do nothing for the Manga sales. Part 5 never

 

[Tamil]

Part 5 will happen, just you wait ! I remember reading an interview and even one of the staff/directors weren't sure either when it will happen.

Ideally I want it to happen after CT's half way mark, that is a long wait but they got Rohan OVA's they could adapt till then. I don't want another case of part 4 where they had to outsource a lot, while it was fixed in the BD's, I want part 5's production to go smoothly. Split cours similar to part 3 will be their best option. Also part 5 is one of the most popular parts in Japan it seems so it would be dumb not to animate that. Overall, part 5 has been teased so much (anime OP, merch, etc.) at this point that I doubt it won't happen.

Part 5 announcement would be mean we're that much closer to seeing the bae, Jolyne, animated and ofc STEEL BALL RUN (no cgi horses, tyvm).

I love females like Jolyne & Satsuki (yeah ik not WSJ), we need more alpha females in WSJ.

Hunter X Hunter is getting an Ame Talk special: http://www.tv-asahi.co.jp/ametalk/news/0053/

That's probably the reason for the full reprint on 5/21.

Fucking Jump! Pushing a 20 year old manga.

 

[SharkBait]

Ufotable would be interesting for Promised Neverland, but I dont know if I would want CGI demons. All their animes have used extensive CGI for the baddies (Tales of Zestiria, God Eater, Sword Boys, some of the Fates), I think CGI works fine for clones of fodder, but it fails for making uniquely inspired individual designs, only God Eater excelled but that is because of the illustrious visionary at God Eater's game studio.

I dont recall their facial animation and nuances in human emotion for characters being remarkable/memorable in 80% in their shows so hm.

Praying that tweet is for a elDLIVE penultimate season movie.

Shuiesha is tired of five digits sale series, might as well double the sales of hiatus x hiatus to 2 million.

 

[SharkBait]

I doubt norman and ray would both have female voice actors. They arent that young, post elementary but not high school age characters get male voice actors. see puzzles & dragons cross, ace and lance, cheval in monhun...tasuku and tetsuyo in buddyfight, etc.

[saitou soma would make a good norman]

 

[ChocoBar9]

^They're 10 years old.

 

[SharkBait]

^They're 10 years old.

the kids in those shows are too.

Even in a show like HeroBank, kids in elementary school we have Hiroshi Kamiya and and Kaito Ishikawa voicing lead boy characters

I guess. I’m not really a purist when it comes to looking short for shot like the manga’s style personally.

I love the look of One Piece movie 6, and it looks nothing like the manga. And I love the art direction of Devilman Crybaby even though it strays from the original look. Sometime I don’t think changing the art style is a big deal, and could be interesting.

I said earlier that I like Toei’s adaptation pre time skip

 

[MangAniMY]

REJOICE!... maybe...
