Mag Talk Weekly Shounen Jump [2009] - Discussion & TOC Talk

[VASSiLi]

Thank you man. Sincerely I'm reading only 2 manga, so I don't know much about others. I'm current reading only Naruto and Bakuman. Mh, what do you recommend starting to read?

 

[GARusashi]

It's weird that Psyren is so low, especially since it's being rated on the Kids fights now.

If you're not reading One Piece, I'd say your crazy. Hands down the best JUMP series.

Also gave Beelzebaby a read. I have a feeling it'll turn into a more action orientated comedy series soon enough. But considering it's a gag manga and I'm enjoying it, I'm surprised.

 

[Kaiten]

ah so mago's isn't promotion it's actually a step down from what it SHOULD get... bah

In fairness, well not really fairness but for arguments sake, Mago hasn't polled well over the last few months. Seems anything that doesn't poll well doesn't get an anniversary cover. When it comes to Toriko and Bakuman they will get the cover for there birthdays. Shame, as many have said before it's a good way to get less popular series on the cover. Mago hardly qualifies as less popular anymore so it's a shame.

#15 (09/03)
Bottom 6:
Psyren
Bokke
Sket
Es21
Neuro
Jaguar

#16 (16/03):
Bakuman (Cover & Cp)
Nurari, Bokke (Cp)

Yeah Bakuman cover and color!

Well Eyeshield really must have fucked up that chapter. *checks to see which chapter that was* Oh, the Russia one that heavily focused on that horrible character Chuubou. -__-

Fuck, Psyren in the bottom 6 again although it looks like it barely made it there.

To Love isn't in the bottom?! Holy shit that is surprising. I didn't think the Christmas chapter would boost it far enough.

I'm mixed about this week overall.

give beelzebub a read! it's witty, charming, and has both chapters out by me



and i have a feeling this week's toc will make me morbidly sad unless inudash is in the top 5... heck, to make me pleased the top three have to be

One Piece
toriko
Inumaru Dashi

and that WON'T HAPPEN so i'm just gonna sulk over how bad the bottom 6 is

 

[◆ T.D.A ◆]

there's no chance Naruto won't be in the top 3.

 

[Kaiten]

Well at least two of the three will be in the top five. Bleach has the cover so there will be room for at least one wild card. Hopefully Bakuman makes it this week.

Previews of March volumes from Heiji - sama:

 

[Maxy Barnard]

i know and it's deserved being in the top 2 recently pulling out all the stops (and then pissing all over em with the spread at the end of the last chapter, which... some people like... i mean cmon!) but i like to dream of a top 5 of just series i like.... but then don't we all

also wonderful hilde(ni)gard sig there, the bruise from being hit might not go down too well though :P
[eni]raawwwwrrr [/eni]

EDIT: also Sket Dance has really learnt how to make it's covers stand out these past two volumes! i'm impressed. that and the popularity polls simple colours that just stood the hell out have made Kenta Shinohara seem a much more capable artist than say... that volume cover with the school council may have lead people to believe

 

[Mr. Prince]

Damn this month's covers are all...wow! There is not a single one I don't like, no, it's more like I like them all.
They all have their very distinct flavor. Hooray!!

 

[GARusashi]

what's the Shaman King advertising? Is that the Kanzenban thing, or what? Cause the little poster with the Patch (thats the Patch, right? Not an avid reader of SK because it went to shit) looks awesome. I've always loved SK's native american theme.

They're advertising the last few SK deluxe editions. If you didn't like the ending, as few seem to, check out the Shaman Kang Zeng Bang chapters that are starting to get scanlated. There the long promised new ending, running in volume 24 - 27 of the kanzenban editions.

Ah, Nurari struggles it's way through the night. Nice nice :3

If that's absolutely all you read, the best recommendation: pick something out of Jump for a change

And for a more concrete shounen manga recommendation, I expect you to see me in the new chapter discussion thread after it's March release. Downloads here and elsewhere >.>

Good call Eni!!!! Best active shonen, better then anything in Jump including One Piece. Catch up this month and watch the new anime in April.

 

[Maxy Barnard]

*begs to differ but hey it's definitely up in the greats of the modern manga age*

... oh crap on topic.... hoop men may well go untranslated like many a mange before it. shame that.


one more post left people! one more post till my soul shrivels up

 

[◆ T.D.A ◆]

I suggest watching the anime of One Piece at the start, but then switch to the manga when OP starts to get good.

anything special happen when you have 1500 posts?

 

[Galactic Tomahawk]

Wow I didn't actually think I might be right about Bokke-san. Hope it keeps it up.

 

[Maxy Barnard]

(@T.D.A: nothing special happens i just feel like i've now become part of the woodwork, and i can't escape. same thing's happened at liveactionanime through each of it's incarnations. i'm doomed to never leave past this point)

and bokke-san's last coupla chapters have proven that it deserves some legs... other series need the plug just as much though (i've beaten that horse more than enough)

 

[Crude]

I've heard negative comments about Hoop Men's art, but I actually think it's pretty good, although there are a lot of instances in which the characters are super-deformed.

 

[Maxy Barnard]

which i love personally. and now the trans is out (with the Edited Manga impending from CXC) i think it's a solid series to keep on living

 

[Galactic Tomahawk]

It's a little low on my priorities unfortunately, as there's a whole lot of things it's going up against and the only ones it might realistically beat are things I'd rather keep.

I think the art has potential though, I tend to like this kind of stuff more than a lot of professional manga art since it allows for more creativity and authors more self aware about their flaws tend to have a lot more room for improvement.
