Oh man I totally want a Psyren cover.

That is the day I will buy a WSJ issue.

But a color is good nonetheless... most likely the character poll?

 

[kewl0210]

DGM will have a "proper" ranking starting at issue 23. The first one in resumption was #15 so 8 later is 23. It's 8 later, not 8 including the one, right...

The CP for Psyren is probably the popularity poll.

Finally they are giving Psyren some promotion. Bout damn time. Not surprised though. Major plot twist in the last chapter. The story is getting even better.

 

[Kaiten]

This is Psyren's second CP of the year, more then it got all of last year. Glad to see it. Mago back down at the bottom is a severe disappointment, pending the release of volume 4. If that does well there won't be much to worry about.

 

[GARusashi]

damnit that means when DGM gets rated again, Bokke will be even lower. And then when Eyeshield finishes, it'll be even lower

Oh well, Psyren was low consistently and still wasn't canceled so there's still hope

Even though I'm not totally sold on the "D. Grey-Man isn't ranked yet" idea, if that is the case then it could be ranked in issue 24 if 22/23 is the double issue for golden week. Either way, I hope it bounces back up sooner rather then later as I am enjoying it quite a bit atm.

Also, great to see Psyren getting more color pages and keeping itself out of the bottom 5.

 

[Digital_Eon]

Still convinced DGM is being ranked, on some level. Unranked series are unranked because there is no data for them. The editors do have the opinions on those chapters of DGM. If people didn't like it - and this is the kind of arc they would dislike, judging from the action content - then down to the bottom of the magazine it goes. Since when do any unranked series end up that low, new or not?

 

[Koen]

Guys, D.G-m was rated from its entrance. I wonder who came up, and how, with the idea of it being not rated. D.G-m's rating isn't surprising, it's always been low in jump. I don't like mago and bokke-san in the bottom and how long will TL-R survive

anyway psyren's colour is obviously coming with the poll results. Kinda look forward to the colour page and the results (we could see how many fans it has) but hey psyren isn't this time in the bottom either (in contrast to what some other might believe )

 

[eni]

D.G-m's rating isn't surprising, it's always been low in jump.

Not that low. Since we started the WSJ ToC in 2006, DGM has usually been in the middle or above. But very rarely lower than the middle.

 

[Rejuvenation]

^Considering those chapters of DGM sucked hardcore the ranking doesn't surprise me. It has only really gotten interesting in these last 2 chapters.

Also as said earlier, DO WANT popularity poll results.

 

[StrangerAtaru]

Somehow I'm starting to find it strange that even with chapters better than decent, ES21 is just plummeted towards the bottom. It's good for Psyren and Sket though.

And Hoopmen...I guess it just bombed considering Beezle's getting a CP so close to ranking.

 

[Muddy]

Since when do any unranked series end up that low, new or not?

Since HxH started doing its ten-week flings. If I remember correctly, Shueisha tosses it into the basement - for whatever reason - each time it comes back.

Awesome for Psyren and Beelze, but it sucks to see Mago so low. At least no Neuro in the bottom five this week. The series needs to go out in some semblance of ToC style...

Fans just want it to end. I know the ending is going to make me facepalm. The thought of Japan beating America is just not right...

Also, the thing that made Eyeshield's games interesting was it's characters. When they are not fighting an interesting team, the game sucks. This is why the Teikoku game sucked. Their team was so bland. This is also why the later Seibu game was one of my favorites. They just need to end it, before they make it anymore obvious they ran out of ideas...

You can only do so much with football.

 

[Digital_Eon]

HxH never ends up in the bottom 5 when it's unranked, does it?

DGM only ranks that low during action arcs - it has before, and I'm not surprised it did so again, because it was clear that's what this arc is. It usually ends up in the low-middle area at any other time, I think, but well above the bottom 5. Thank god it's still above TLR.

 

[SSJWill4]

HxH never ends up in the bottom 5 when it's unranked, does it?

HxH starts pretty high with cover and color (4th or 5th including the color higher than it), and then after 1 or 2 issues heads to the bottom half of the magazine where it stays until it exits. The lowest it has gotten is 3rd from bottom, and it's been in the bottom 5 a few times.

What's there is a cleaner version of this image?

I am a colorist, and I would refer any better, please help if they would be very happy

 

[Sexy Randal 105]

Final battle countdown perhaps?

 

[Kaiten]

More likely pimping the 10th anniversary.

 

[StrangerAtaru]

Quick trans: it's a mini-book with the "famous scenes" of Naruto over the last ten years, with the special Naruto vs. Sasuke cover by Kishimoto himself for this. (sort of guess they're not doing something akin to the KochiKame and OP anniversaries...just as well)

 

[Sexy Randal 105]

I guess Viz finally decided to license some new series. News has been announced that Viz licensed Neuro, Mx0, Sket Dance and surprisingly P2. These volume covers were also leaked as well. Very interesting piece of news.
