If you have time try to set up a honto jp account and buy from there. The shipping is WAYYYYYY cheaper than amazon jp/cd japan because they use SAL option. Only problem is 3+ weeks shipping time. They shipped to me at least 7 times no problem at all.
Also google honto if they ship to any other countries that is not USA, don't want you to make an account and it can't ship it to your country.

Man I'm hungry looking at this

Mmmm.... Otae-chan’s Dark matter

Lol that HxH/Adult Gon drink is genius. Adult Gon's hair being incorporated into anything is always cool to see, it never gets old.

So.. I realized that part 2 of tv special didn't have auto CC on until just now, so while the auto-captions are auto-trash, at least they are enabled now.

If HZ ever becomes huge, I wanna see some nabe at these cafes lol. Even if it doesn't fit with the cafe theme.

The good thing is that Hinomaru's growth, if any hopefully, will be very noticeable. going from 30k to even 60-70k will show up big on Oricon's yearly charts and with backlog doing even 4-5k per volume a week, it'll add up over 20 volumes which will also be very noticable in the series totals so I think it can do well.

After that its a matter of what we consider as "huge". It probably won't sell BDs and I don't know how aggressive their merchandise plan is but going purely on manga sales I personally would set the mark at around 100-150k at the upmost, extreme maximum. This however requires a really good adaptation.

 

[Caiops]

Still no PV of HZ with actual animation.

Burn the Witch was neat. Was a Soul Society west branch ever mentioned in Bleach?

It was always widely known that they had shinigami all over but nothing specific, no.

Prays that the animation and pacing for the HZ anime will be on point, and for some badass and lit OPs and EDs themes

Anything less than a 3 cour season will guarantee pacing issues. They want to do the first part of the manga after all with 152 chapters.
But considering that Pierrot wants to adapt the rest of Tokyo Ghoul: re with 121 chapters in 12 episodes it isn't impossible that Gonzo would do something similar with HZ. Imagine 152 chapters in 12 episodes, that's a nice pacing of more than 1 volume per episode.

 

[MangAniMY]

welp, no clean images of the cover illustrations...

 

[OtterBrigade]

don't those come out with the official release on Sunday or is it an early issue this week?

 

[101nemesis]

Damn, now I kinda want Kubo to do an adventure manga if he ever comes back. Also, aside from the Soul Society mention in the 2nd last page, the title in the last page highlights the letter BLEACH. Nice little touch from Kubo.
Hope he comes back sooner than later.

 

[Newkerzy]

Damn, I didn't even catch that little detail.

 

[Mori takai]

No news.

Thanks man I do have one more question since your in japan I wanted to know what the Japanese fans of jump think about certain series getting fan appreciation days and what criteria a series needed for jump to give that series a day over others and what are the Japanese fan's impressions on Jump force ( for example what do they think the roster will be) is also thank you for all the work you do.

 

[Mr.Fujimaster]

Burn the Witch was so fucking awesome.
Burn the Witch and Build King are the best oneshots of this year on Jump.
I'm praying that Kubo and Shimabukuro return soon to Jump.

 

[TyVip]

You can count the number of one shots release this year in one hand though

Top 2 out of 2

 

[tirakai]

What other big name oneshots are left now? I remember they announced a whole bunch of them at once but I haven't been keeping track of how many.
