[mod=Halloween]Henceforth, I will be deleting posts that complain about Weekly Shonen Jump having too many/not enough gag/battle/exorcism/sports/etc series.

These posts are not insightful, and do not meaningfully contribute to this thread. Also, this decision is not up for discussion, so posts discussing this decision will also be deleted.[/mod]

imagine time paradox gets axed after all this buzz and hype around it in the US

Wouldn’t be the first time it happened, and won’t be the last

 

[El Jacco]

Haikyuu!! final Volume 45 for Nov 4th along with a guidebook. Volume 44 in August 4th.

 

[MysticCatto]

That jump GIGA cover man... The feels.

imagine time paradox gets axed after all this buzz and hype around it in the US

Well I would like receipts for buzz and hype in the US. Seems anecdotal and based on whatever site you peruse. It doesnt seem its as widely talked about and known as TPN chp1 was.

Lol how can you say that knowing WSJ & how much it sells. It can get one and it can be pulled off well if its in the hands of a passionate staff.

There's a lot of fan animations for CSM and they're beautiful. I've never seen a series before have so many fan animations, especially before an anime. Here's a good example

Spoiler

Imagine CSM by shaft & directed by Akiyuki Shinbo? That is perfection and will fit CSM.

CSM has a unique artstyle that presents challenges to anime. Unless CSM would be a anime where fan animator cuts make up the majority of ever episode, it is hard to see how these dreams and aspirations would be anything more than that.

It’s also crazy because it’s starting to already gain a decent following in the west. Notable you tubers like chibi reviews and mothers basement have reviewed this manga already despite it having less than ten chapters. It would just feel weird if it gets axed especially if it is under 19 chapters.

Arent we putting a little too much stock into saying something has "gained a following" and "is popular" because youtuber X has decided to give it a video. It is still a relatively unknown series that they are making a video for to try to get more people to read it. (also what mothers basement are you even talking about? there isn't one specific to whatever series youre discussing...)

Gaining a decent following in the west is also pretty vague and unclear, you could say the six people that post in the thread on this very forum is a "decent follow" doesnt mean much tbh.

 

[Tamil]

Well, Hawks was just outside the top 10 last time and he wasn't even shown in the anime. There's a chance he will get higher this time.

An anime for Chainsaw Man is pretty much a given right now considering how much it sells and how popular it is.



An anime is not a copy + paste of a manga. Chainsaw Man would be amazing with a hyper stylistical adaptation and there are plenty of animators out there capable of doing so who are showing love for the series and already posting animations of it.



Shaft is not even close to what it was once, a good number of people under Shaft migrated to other studios with many going to David Pro. And Devilman Crybaby is from Science Saru.



As far as I'm concerned, Shinbo hasn't worked in a production since 2018.

I am aware of Shaft members moving to David Pro but wasn't aware of Shinbo not doing anything since 2018. Interesting enough the move to David Pro happened around the same time as Shinbo last work. Regardless, a CSM adaptation by Shinbo would be incredible. David Pro was another one of my top choice anyway.

Still hard to believe that after this week, Boku no Hero Academia will be the second-longest running series in the magazine (barring Hunter, which in fact, should not be far away from beating its hiatus record). Speaking of which, am happy to see it get a cover as expected, has been quite a while since we've seen even a color page from Hori, much less a cover.

I want to print out that GIGA cover and hang it on my wall, will truly miss them.

8th and 6th CPs for Chainsawman and act-age respectively, wonder how much they will end up having by the end of the year.

These fan animators can be hired as freelancers lol. It has become more common nowadays with the internet. One sakubuta said Chainsaw Man not getting an anime or a subpar anime would be a waste given that so many talented animators have expressed love for it. Given the right staff, schedule and resources, Chainsaw Man's anime could be one hell of an spectacle.

Yeah, as Tamil said, I've seen multiple fan animations for Chainsaw Man. I've only seen one for Demon Slayer for comparison.

A Chainsaw Man anime could really work.

like I said, unless the entirety of the anime is made of these fan animations, it is unclear that it would be anything like you are they are describing. Perhaps I missed where such anime exist beyond a one or two episode for a major fight in a show like BLack Clover or Boruto or FGO or Paranoia Agent.

[SharkBait]

someones serious about getting their otaku cred lol.

mixed on the color spread.

kind of wish it was something like the final one we got for Katekyo Hitman Reborn

 

[Shinuki no Reborn]

Jesus Christ, why putting that name so giant 6 times? so unnecessary...

 

[savethecat]

I’ll always feel really mixed about leakers putting huge watermarks on their imagesz

On one end I get that you want you credit. But at the same time, is watermarks on a image of work that doesn’t belong to you really that important? Nobody is even going to associate the image with you in a few days when the official image comes out

 

[pamuchi]

From what I've read, they put those watermarks to avoid problems like getting caught and terminate their accounts. But this is kinda exaggerated lol.

 

[Mankichi Togawa]

My Hero Academia 6th anniversary. My baby is so old now. I hope this time Hori does a proper color page when the next popularity poll results get released.

 

[yadayada]

Here we can appreciate better both covers

Very nice cover.

Yeah, as Tamil said, I've seen multiple fan animations for Chainsaw Man. I've only seen one for Demon Slayer for comparison.

A Chainsaw Man anime could really work.

You really haven't looked much if you've only seen one for KnY lol. But yeah, CSM has had a lot as well.

The chainsaw anime will probably have some CGI (if only because I don't see any other way to pull off some of the designs, I'm sure those who are caught up know what I'm referring to) but I still expect a high quality product either way. There definitely seems to be a lot of love for it.

[Halloween]

Stop talking about non-WSJ/Jump+/M+ series in here, everyone.

 

[Wookitake]

I hope TPGW gets a bump due to its good chapters around 6/7, but lets see.

Which Moriking chapter was ranked that low? 6/7 as well? I hope it bounces back.
