Mag Talk Weekly Shonen Jump [2021] - Discussion and ToC Talk

I personally thought it was fine. On the technical merit side, I think they deserved it. It also helps that they have good storyboarding and direction, but most of all, for an adaptation, it doesn’t make newcomers feel lost in the midst of things, whereas the Mugen train would require prior viewing of the last season. That’s why I think Spiderverse wins out here.

Granted, purists will complain, but for what it’s worth as a self-contained movie, I enjoyed it.

Oh I don't disagree. I adore that movie.

I'm just going against the notion that Kimetsu's S1 requirement is why it didn't get nominated. You think the grandpa Academy voters knew about any of the previous lore of spiderverse when awarding it? Nope.
There are tons of threads and questions in spiderverse that are technically unanswered if you don't include the known things about that universe (which the movie doesn't explain). It didn't stop it from getting awarded.

Spiderverse worked with it's intended crowd, people already familiar with that universe. Not newcomers to this lore.
Same with Kimetsu.

That's my point.
Honestly, I don't care about Kimetsu not getting nominated because I knew it was a long shot. Had an American company made the exact same Kimetsu movie, it'd have gotten nominated without doubt.
But people using this opportunity to go "Heh, you think Kimetsu deserved a nomination. Kek" under the assumption that Oscars or any American award shows are based on actual merit, deserves to get clapped back with facts.

Anyway, this is getting off topic now. So I'm gonna stop.

Guys, if you want to continue talking about KnY not getting an Oscar nomination, please do so in the supplemental thread. (or in the KnY section)

All of these one shots are just getting published in Jump as one shots, correct? or are any of them getting full serialization?

as oneshots, the 4 oneshots were placed at the end of the magazine

 

[Rukasu]

If its true, then damn what a good place for Elusive Samurai, quite pleased with it. Lets see if it can hold in the following weeks

 

[lgrmjauffre]

Yeah, a lot about that ToC looks really off, so I'm going to wait for actual confirmation.

 

[redon]

It’s 100% true

 

[lgrmjauffre]

It’s 100% true

Very odd one, then. Weird placements for Witch Watch, High School Family, Mashle, and Ayakashi. Elusive Samurai also honestly much higher than I ever expected it to be. It's just one week, I know, but.

With Watch is not being ranked yet, is it?

 

[lgrmjauffre]

No, and that's exactly why it's odd that they would have a new series by a veteran author so low, instead of putting it higher to show people it's there, even if just for looks.

 

[SharkBait]

That Highschool Family jump, nice!

Toc can be fake. but if this position of HSF is real, it is already evidence that TOCs are not that reliable.

Stop and acknowledge that High School Family is just incredibly good already. Well deserved positioning.

 

[tirakai]

That's a sudden massive leap up for HSF if the ToC is real, the best it's done past the first ranked chapter is 6th last and I don't think that's happened since Agravity Boys and co ended. I wonder what prompted the sudden top 5 after all this time at the bottom. Perhaps it won't end next batch after all?

Not a great start for I tell C, but Elusive Samurai is doing incredibly well as predicted.
