Wait for any of the 'middle tier battle series' to get an anime -- that can propel a middle tier to the top. And Psyren is starting the "huge ass arc part" of the story as with most longer running series in Jump. Around vol8 seems to be the cracking point for those series with around v10-12 being the point for first possible anime-announcements unless it's an odd case (like, for example, DGM which started an anime far earlier because of the pause in serialization likely).

As for those cancellations, I didn't think Mago would go ._. but, then again, I dunno much about the series, anyway so I can't comment on whether it's a timely or untimely demise -- if the cancellation-plan holds true.

Yeah, the "huge ass arc" is the one i'm always waiting for in a jump series. I just hope that jump will take Mago's tankoubon sales into consideration, not to mention Mago also got it's huge ass arc coming.

If Mago ends, don't really mourn for it. To have a series that lasts this long isn't too bad an ordeal and sets up a foundation for his next series. On one hand, look at how Psyren seems to have come into it's own with a year and a half...but then again, look at Mx0. (OK, bad thought but still: I think that this success could be a foundation for something more later on if Mago does go after a year)

As for Sket's drama CD...just means a drama CD to me. Muhyo got a couple novelizations and it never got an anime sadly. I want Sket to get the respect it deserves and maybe an anime as reward for two years, but somehow there are still series out there that get nothing for their effort.

My friend was able to tell me VAs in the Sket Dance Drama CD:

Bossun: Hiroyuki YOSHINO
Himeko: Ryoko SHIRAISHI
Switch: Tomokazu SUGITA

I can't believe Kyon will be voicing Switch.

Gintoki as Switch?! Hayate as Himeko, and Takachin//Yoshimori as Bossun?

....Interesting. Not only will Sket and Gin be connected by their authors...but by Sugita doing characters from both series.....Oh Shuiesha...you....

I really hope Mago doesn't go. Is interesting, and the tankoubon sales should be an anchoring point.

I hope the spoiler is not true.
I thought Mago sold well but its kinda sad to see it ending, btw , we still got no news from DGM n how come there are so many mysteries of DGM. (hope it can survive longer)

Hoopmen, it does make senses if it will be out, considering its low ranking.

 

[Digital_Eon]

Re: Weekly Shounen Jump [2009] - Discussion & TOC Talk v.2

Well, Hoop Men's a bit of a given - but we'll have to wait longer than next week to find out when it gets cancelled.

Four new series (four?! That's unusual) would mean they're not even holding a spot for DGM. That alone would make me suspicious of those reports... it's like DGM wasn't even taken into consideration ("once the oneshots end, there'll be space for a new series!"). And though we had no news on its reason for being gone, it seems weird that such a report would have forgotten about it... and make sure it doesn't return until at least the next ending/cancellation ten issues ahead of a new series. =/

Yep, this week's #28.

So unless it was off a week it's probably fake.

If Jump cancelled Mago, then Jump must out of their mind because despite of low ranking, on lightly, actually doing pretty good on selling tankoubans. So if Jump wants to make more money, they should have not cancel Mago. And if they are going to cancel Mago, this means that they don't want to make any money.

So far, there are four series that sell lower than Mago, and there are Kuroko, Inumaru, Psyren, and Sket Dance. However, Kuroko and Inumaru will never going to be cancel because shueisha is supporting Kuroko to take place of Eyeshield21, which going to end next issue, and for Inumaru, despite of low volume sells, actually doing pretty good on the ranking. As a result, Psyren and Sket Dance should much close on the edge on to be cancelled than Mago. But, Psyren is also actually doing good on ranking, since 2009, so Psyren should increase their volume sell on near future. Therefore, actually Sket Dance is more in danger to cancel than Mago (Sorry for Sket Dance fans).

Although, Jump can end Tolove-Ru, instead of Sket Dance because it has been even lower rank than either Sket Dance and Mago. Also, MedakaBox can replace Tolove-Ru's spot.

Re: Weekly Shounen Jump [2009] - Discussion & TOC Talk v.2

Yeah, i really hope it's fake. I mean, it's not the first time i see a fake spoiler from 2ch.
Last year, i read in another forum that To-love-ru and Psyren wil be cancelled around december, which of course it's not.

Re: Weekly Shounen Jump [2009] - Discussion & TOC Talk v.2

well OP going for another 10 years, i bet all the current manga (except Kochikame ofcourse) will be finished and OP will still be going lols, what new theme can be done? everything has been done to death now:
Shinigami, Ninja's, Demons, Pirates, American football, Tennis, Soccer, Hunters, Samurai's, Policemen/Detectives, Boxing, Martial Arts, Assasins etc. It will be really hard for a new breakthrough manga with a new manga theme, but it would be epic, if it had like 5 different concepts in the same one.

To Love Ru sells better than all the series you just named. That is one of the few reasons why I see Jump hasn't canceled it yet.

Plus I did say earlier that Sket Dance has finished most of what it set out to do for the most part. Only one more past arc really needs to happen atm.

Not sure if Medaka Box will replace Sket, TLR, or become something on its own entirely. A series doesn't NEED to be a token placeholder after all.

ToRa is one of the only series where the audience is primarily in high school or college. With 85% of it's readers under 18, Jump could ill afford to lose that demographic.

Re: Weekly Shounen Jump [2009] - Discussion & TOC Talk v.2

umm but didn't DB last for 12 years also?? though each chapter only contain 14 pages
btw do you know when did the DB sale count last updated ?? did the count end the year DB ends or does it still being updated for every year after it ends to today??
i mean if it were still being updated, we don't really know how much did it sell when it ends

Dragon Ball lasted for about 10.5 years. And it had less volumes than One Piece, despite having only about 25 fewer chapters, as of now, because Dragon Ball volumes were for the most part 12 chapters long, and only 13-15 pages long, as opposed to One Pieces 18-16 (it's been that way since around volume 3 or 4). And the Dragon Ball sales count is updated periodically, it's not the same count from 1995 when the series ended. The entire list was updated. And we don't know how much Dragon Ball had sold in 1995, but why does that matter? We're talking total sales for both series', and One Piece has more.

Re: Weekly Shounen Jump [2009] - Discussion & TOC Talk v.2

a little question about reborn!. Before vol. 8,(sorry don't remember which chapter) it was a mostly comedy oriented with no recurring villain nor a strong plot.
How did it manage to survive that long? I mean beelzebub introduces villain, the Tohoshinki much faster than Reborn introduces Kokuyo gang, is reborn that popular before even becoming an action oriented series?
And me and my friends had discussion about Psyren yesterday. somehow we got the impression that Psyren is going to be one of those manga that's popular in TOC but not entering Jump's list of best seling titles of all time. what do you guys think?

Re: Weekly Shounen Jump [2009] - Discussion & TOC Talk v.2

Nothing has ever given me the feeling Psyren will ever be a TOC power house. My feeling is it is the next Houshin Engi; a series that lasts four or five years, has a moderate following, and is remembered as a great series.

Strong possibilities, but you have to remember that Houshin Engi sold more that 15 million copies and is one jump's best-selling in the late 90's. I think Psyren will sell past 1 million but not reaching 10 million.

Re: Weekly Shounen Jump [2009] - Discussion & TOC Talk v.2

Jeez...just end To-love already instead of cutting Mago. That sells very well as is. Almost as well as To-love but tolove has run its course.

And about Toriko, the character development is needed but I don't even remember WHY they are doing what they are doing in this arc...

Re: Weekly Shounen Jump [2009] - Discussion & TOC Talk v.2

So, ah, what's with all the talk of Mago ending? Did I miss some big announcement? Or not.
