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

Muhyo and Roji was such a tease, why animate it and then stop when the story finally starts?! nothing resolved or anything.

 

[Maxy Barnard]

I’d rather it run like it did, unrushed, paced out like if it had had an anime running alongside it way back when, with the hope for more seasons one day, than something as awkward or rushed as certain other Jump anime this year.

The perfect example of using anime as commercial.
But it's better than nothing, they could do a Hoshin Engi thing here and ruin it. I'm just glad it got anime 10 years after cancellation.

Cute.

in Act-Age oneshot she said her favorite manga are: World Trigger and Samon the Summoner, now she will get to work side by side with WT too

Now if only they'd fulfill all of her wishes and bring back Numa Shun for another comedy (or bring back Samon!)

It's not 100%, but that's the best info I could find when I searched about it：

Jump Issue 8# of 2007 (about end of January) gave us print figures for part 1 to 5 (63 volumes) as part of 20th anniversary of JoJo - 43.5 million copies, but no Stone Ocean figures.

About 3 months later, Shuiesha released their first "Shuiesha Media Guide 2007", telling us the Jojo SERIES has 53.27 million copies in print.
By series they mean All part 1 to 6, 11 volumes of part 7, novels and probably other printed media.

Let's say Jojo didn't print anything between those 2 reports:
Giving us a 9,770,000 copies for 17 volumes of Stone Ocean, 11 volumes of Steel Ball Run and other printed media.
We don't know how much SBR sold until 2007, we only got the info 2010 which can't work on number here. That's the closest I could get, hope it helps.

Thanks. It doesnt help a lot since Im guessing this is probably the best info we have to work with. It sucks not knowing how part 6 did.

This upcoming New Year Party is going to be SUPA HOT
First time attendees for Act Age, JuJu Kaisen, David, and I'm from Japan mangaka, and hopefully many more to come.

Oh no wonder the artist had a lot of Samon fan art, I had no idea.

It's pretty weird to see that an artist in Jump has nearly the same preferences in manga as myself. I hope Act Age continues to be a success.

It's seems like City Hunter is getting a blu-ray version in January, anybody know if it's just upscale on bluray from the dvd or acutely a HD remaster?

Did we ever find out how well Shinobi Striker and BLack Clover Quartet Knights did in the western world in September?

September NPD not out yet? (hardware is out but software is next week I think)

Shinobi strikers got 6th place overall(in dollars) for august

 

[Caiops]

Shinobi Strikers did really well, didn't expect that.

 

[MangAniMY]

August was kinda a dead zone for game releases and the game just having the name "Naruto" will it since have it's been a while?

not discrediting it, though, I think there were reports it made like 4 times compared to japan?

just FYI since people only posted the silhouette last time, about 10 days ago a bunch of new characters were added to the Jump Stadium game (if there still people playing)

 

[Savi]

On other hand, I feel like they are going to kill OreCollection, almost no news this month, no new character for almost 3 weeks...

Does this mean there will be more anime in the future? Or is this just the animation project that got mentioned a while back. The Galopoula invasion still hasn't been adapted, but there's still not a lot of material to work with, and with the series moving to a monthly release, it doesn't seem worth continuing the adaptation.

 

[CuriousReborn]

Not out yet, but looking at steam, I'm expecting a decent performance from Shinobi but not as good as previous installment. BC will most likely bomb. Again this is purely based on steam and nothing else.

Given how Blue Exorcist got two anime adaptions and a movie I see why not. If WT can achieve similar sales like BE and the editors know that Ashihara can handle monthly for years to come then it might get another season which at least will handle the Galopoula invasion and rise of Tamakoma-2 to A-rank in the rank tournament. Plus they can always filler like they did in the series with that princess and trion golem engineer from another Neighborhood nation. Or it gets some movie like refugees from a dying neighborhood nation fleeing to Meeden (Earth) with ships and Border has to find another world for them to live or adapt them to Earth or stuff like that while the invaders who destroyed the refugees Mother Trigger are still after them and now coming to Earth.

Comiq is so good and so excellently masterfully paced, shame its not a full length series as it'd honestly revolutionize the mystery genre in shonen jump.
