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

Erm, the last chapter had a chubby middle-aged kunoichi with pigtails.

So we are ignoring this CP where a lot of the important female characters to the overall plot are present and 3 of the 7 look identical to each other with another 2 just having different hair? Okay.

Also, funny that you didn`t mention Big Mom, probably one of the most unique designs for a female in Jump, especially a villain.

Eh? No.
Also, I want cake now.

Don't get me wrong. Oda is fantastic, both as a storyteller and an artist. But it's a widely acknowledged fact that he cannot draw girls that don't look the same.
A lot of mangaka have issues with designs being similar. Kubo draws men's face structures similarly. You are able to easily differentiate them cause of their hair and other accessories. And they hardly ever change their look.
Oda's problem is that his female leads always change outfits and looks(accessories) and therefore, it starts getting hard to actually differentiate them. Its great for the story (the change of outfit), but makes his lack of female variety stand out in plain sight.

Hinomaru Zumou's 3rd episode was awful.

Don’t really see the big deal about discussing anything in this thread as long as it’s Jump related tbh.

In pretty much every forum I use, if there’s a thread that contain the same few regular users, the discussion are usually rather broad, and anything is allowed as long as doesn’t become too off topic(For Exp. In a Spiderman thread sometimes things will go into discussing other Marvel characters, but once it starts getting to DC hero discussions that’s TOO off topic).


This is really the only forum where I’ve seen so much policing of discussions

Different sites, different rules.
This forum is pretty reliable when it comes to news and other information. So imagine having to go through 10 pages of MHA vs BC nonsense to find one TOC? It's fine if it's a small discussion, IMO. But a lot of these discussions tend to span multiple pages and after like 100 times of the same discussion, it kinda gets annoying.

But BLack Clover deserves discussion. I cant imagine back in the day people didnt discussion Naruto or Katekyo Hitman Reborn or other old titles in regards to their contemporaries at the time. Youre far more senior than I so what was the landscape in those olden days?

the advent of twitter and manga news enthusiast sites kind of squashes the relevance of forum post of a ToC, within 30minutes of it appearing in a thread.

Both Black Clover and Boku no Hero are bad, now lets talk about how Jujutsu Kaisen will be selling in the millions next year

 

[shoyoboyo]

You're forgetting Act-Age and Kimetsu. C'mon man, how can you neglect your avatar like that?

 

[SharkBait]

Ziga deserved to be a million seller. The protagonist was so underrated

 

[Mammo]

This is getting meta enough that we may as well create a WSJ discussion thread discussion thread at this point.

8 parts docu-series by Shane Dawson titled "The Minds of MH shitposters" when?
I'm excited to show him my place and my 2 refrigerators

Lol. Ziga was complete trash, and thankfully the Jump readers in Japan agreed. The author even went of of his way to ruin the one somewhat popular thing about his series in the epilogue chapter. That's some next-level passive aggressive behavior

 

[Chuck_Atlas]

Hey everyone, does anyone here remembers Yoakemono? I sure do... My man Shibata remembers it too...

Spoiler

Come back Shibata already! Make Zippo! a thing!!

 

[Caiops]

Tokyo Wonder Boys deserved to be a million seller

hana samurai need to be a thing. if other giga series gets a chance, why not that?

 

[SharkBait]

Didnt even realize people remembered Yoakemono.

I still fondly remember, buddy strike, Best BLue, Iron Knight, Shudan, and the most underreated, Demon's Plan.

There was so much untapped potential.

I'm his number one fan. Goddam is that beautiful. Too bad the editor in Chief has a thing against beauty

i mean, it did get a very nice ending

where does the story even go from there?

Demons plan art was so bad. He tried his best to mask it.

 

[jagman1x3]

The only thing I remember about Demon's Plan is that the author had no idea how to draw necks so everyone's head was just sitting on their shoulders.

This is why I hate it when discussions turns into fan wars.. I usually come to this site for news and sales and compared to other discussion site the fan wars are less annoying and mean or even non-existent. Why can't we just enjoy our series without dragging other series?

 

[shoyoboyo]

I only trash Black Clover here cause some posters really make me feel like it deserves it lol, otherwise I'm pretty neutral about it.
