Eeh I think logic should also be used when deciding which series you think “should” be cancelled.

I think wanting Soma to be cancelled makes a bit of sense, since it had a good run, it’s sales are on the decline, and it’s quality has severely dropped. And this is an agreement among most the fanbase.

But something like MHA. Regardless of personal preference and how one feels about it’s current quality, it’s one of the magazine’s biggest sellers. It’s still widely beloved, and is the closest Jump has gotten to an international huge hit since Naruto, and Bleach in the mid 2000s.

Like, even if I wasn’t a fan of a series, if it’s doing THAT well, and is that beloved, I don’t think I’d put it on my “should be cancelled” lost

Exactly. Wanting X part of the core roster to suddenly end is stupid, and shows a completely short-sighted mentality. Something like Japan, which has obviously failed to establish itself in any way, despite the attempts to be pushed as the next big gag manga, should be canceled (or, more likely, moved to Jump+) because it adds nothing to the magazine, and indeed just takes away from it by being present. Series that have failed to meet popularity should likewise be canceled.

And I say Hinomaru, Yuuna, Kimetsu and WNL's endings are coming purely because they're narratively logical. There is absolutely no way to get around that.

Can someone explain why Jump started posting their promo stuff on a completely different channel?\

Also, haha, Yuuna isn't in this.

Also, this is just a generally awesome promo.

 

[MangAniMY]

why not...?

the new channel has almost 10 times the subscribers

Ah, just noticed that...

Futari no Tansei was really nice, the art is fine imo and the concept is interesting. However, if Tai has to fall asleep or wait until the night to make Sei show up, the games are going to be really long!
As said by another user, I won't put my hopes too high for it, Last Saiyukii is still a bit of disappointment !

SPYxFAMILY is very elegant, really a nice suprise !

And I hope the upcoming spokon (Beast Children) will be great ! Can't wait to read it !

That was a nice PV. And they chose well the series to be represented with the ones currently on the magazine, I guess.

They didn't really have to think? They chose the series that 1. Weren't ending in the next few months, 2. Had dedicated PR departments and 3. Weren't Boruto.

Yuuna, Souma and Hinomaru are in this, they just didnt get separate moments but were at the beginning in the panels by the side.

Kamio Yui and Saiyuki were also there by one panel each I noticed. Nothing on Chainsaw Man that I caught, but probably it was there.

Jimoto ga Japan and David (obviously) were completely missing.

The question was which ones would you like to see cancelled, if you had to pick 6 to 10

If it wasn't, I'd agree with all of that

Well, Souma, Yuna and zumou could be there, for ex. But I think it's a perfect choice as it is for the situation of the manga.

They were there. They simply were just included as various side panels because there's no point to including them among the big stuff, the series are ending and with that the need to promote them.

Chainsaw Man was present as well, FYI. It just wasn't called out because, I assume, it lacks a formal Promotional department. How long did it take for Act-Age and Jujutsu's official twitters to launch? I think that could give us a timeline of how long it would take.

 

[Jovan]

I put the video on 0.5x speed, Souma had 3 or 4 times appeareances on side panels, Yuuna once, Hinomaru had a special panel screen for itself, Boruto once. Chainsaw none (checked all and nothing, so odd).

Saiyuki and Kamio Yui were shown once at the beginning.

I know, I'm talking about the ones in highlight. And WNL and Kimetsu are ending by your theory and are there XD

Considerably later, though. Also their anime are airing, of course Jump is gonna promote them.

Stop at 1:31. Chainsaw is there, right in the corner.

Thanks! That part even on that speed went too fast for me lol. Act Age got a lot of exposure in the video from what I can see

Yeah, I know. I just wanted to point out. haha Either way, nice to see those series like that, they represent well the current magazine to me.

I see they're going all in with Samurai 8 already.

Dude, they went "all in" when they hoisted a literal promotional billboard.

I know, but seeing it alongside all this well-established series after just two chapters really puts things in perspective.
