Ray will be voiced by Kaito Ishikawa
oh yeah, would be my 2nd choice.. He can use his HeroBank's Sekito Sakuraba voice, one of the elementary aged boys he's voiced before. Perfect for Ray.

Why do you guys think Neverland fans will have paranoid over the prospect of Cloverworks adapting it? Outside of the flaws in the character writing and heavy focus on teenage melodrama Darlifra has been really impressive from a visual standpoint, also the art hasn't had many lapses. I'm having a mostly good time with this show.
It's stupid because Darling in the Franxx staff is mostly ex-gainax lead by Nishigori including the ones at Trigger and if Cloverworks really is working on it, it' obviously not going to be the same staff that worked on it. What will say something, as always, is when the staff for the anime is announced. Except for like Kyoani, the staff is way more important for the anime than the studio. That supervalorization of the studio is really wrong when for example, the staff of One Punch Man could make the exact same work if they worked at A-1 (and in that case remember that most of them were more affiliate to Bones)
Volume 2 comes out in June.

The early list is always subject to change.

Cloverworks is still A1. Memes are hard to break. People still shit on Deen.
Cloverworks isn't A-1 anymore. There's a reason for why they changed the name of their Koenji subsidiary after all and that is to give the studio an individuality with a different name.

Cloverworks p5 hasnt exactly been an above average visual feast.
Yup, because the staff isn't that good in the major positions except for the director. Ace Attorney Second Season will be the same.. maybe better regarding production but the staff is the same as before and that was mediocre. Either way, the first season had great ratings and the broadcaster who was the main investor in funding in the committee was happy with the results and greenlight the second season along the other involved companies.

I won't celebrate too early, but I'm glad Act-Age is out the bottom this week. Hopefully it keep in the middle long enough to survive another serialization round. Little bummed about Noah's Notes position, though. Please don't let this be a sign of things to come.

Excellent for Act-Age and Yuuna! Getting a bit nervous for Noah's Notes though. I'd like it to be at least where Zumo is now and rank above Jujutsu. Looks like Ziga could be dead.

Is this the final chapter of Lycopene, or is that still unknown? With the new series only being 32 pages for its first chapter, it seems like it could end up as a shorter, end of magazine series.

Finally Yuragi-sou is in a good position.
I think Act-Age's position this week will not save the manga.
By the way, Jujutsu and Noah Notes are in a bad situation. Ziga will certainly be canceled.

Ziga is dead.

Act-age isn't dead? Jujutsu and Noah are neck and neck? I think all three can survive, but it depends if the two new manga will act as cushions, then you have volume sales, other varying circumstances and how many new manga will start in the next round. None of these seem to be doing incredibly well, but it's not like WSJ can afford to axe all of them when they need new manga and they can't afford to have no new properties for two years straight. It's going to be tough to survive, but at least one of them can make it. I'll root for Act-age and Noah.

Has the Japanese reception to Jujutsu improved any in the past several weeks? It seems that on here it was looked down on pretty hard in it's first few chapters but some have warmed up to it recently. I doubt it means anything on the Japanese side but I'm curious if anyone knows whether there's reason to think that a small boost might be forthcoming when the first mini arc starts getting ranked.

Can anyone tell me how many copies Act-Age vol1 sold? I plan to read it since it premise is somewhat similar to Glass Mask/Glass no Kamen, one of my most favorite manga of all time, but I don't want to get into a story just to read a shortcoming ending. If it's really that good then I'm glad for it current position.
