Who said I hadn't read them, I'm reading all three new series. I like them, there solid shonen. All have been interesting enough to continue reading, none have been interesting enough to care if they're canceled. By the time the next cuts come maybe my opinion will change, for better or worse. Meister and Kuroko need actual game scenes before they can be judged. Still, better one of them die then lose Mago.
I think he's saying that, clearly, people out there do prefer Slam Dunk to Prince of Tennis and even manga of the supernatural/action genre (Jojo only got 2nd place). So even though you may think to yourself that Japanese fans like Prince of Tennis more, you're simply wrong.
See, why is that so hard to understand? /me scratches head
Agreed. The story and characters are good to. If Sket, Mago, and Psyren can hang on, along with Toriko and Bakuman, that's a very nice set of new series. Maybe one of the new sports series (I doubt both will) last; ES21 has one foot in the grave and it would be really weird to have a shonen magazine without a sports series.
In the Japan Media Arts Festival Slam Dunk was voted the best Manga of all time ,79,000 people votedYeah, I know all about Slam Dunk and its beastiness, but that was just my opinion. I'm well aware that most may disagree. However, you can't tell me alot of Japanese fans would not agree with my statment. However, I did not know those facts so thanks for expanding my knowledge.
Ah ok I thought you hadn't read them based on your last post.
I never said that Japanese fans prefer PoT. I said that I do. Don't treat me like an idiot cause I'm not. My original comment was a completely opinionated one anyway. I had no idea it would be subject to such unnecessary critisim. I know for a fact that the majority of Japanese fans prefer Slam Dunk. But I also know that alot of probably prefer PoT (or any other sports series). And facts>opinions don't work for manga! Naruto is extremely popular. I love it. I lot of others do too. But there are alot that don't. While we BELIEVE that Naruto trumps other manga, we have no right to say that since more people prefer Naruto, then any manga they BELIEVE to be better is not. It's all about personal preferences. GOT IT MEMORIZED?
Maybe you meant to write 'some people' and forgot to, or 'there are people out there,' or some other such qualifier, but that statement above sounds like you're talking about the majority of Japanese people.
Personally I really didn't think that some of the lower rankings for what were essentially set-up chapters was going to lead to a move of this magnitude. Now either ES21 is back to deathwatch...or the final battle with the US is just going to be that long.
Yes they do, when those facts are not BASED ON opinion.
I'd rather a synchronized swimming manga, but curling's a better fit for Jump
