I love how we made everyone think Kochikame was gonna end. XD

But on another note, has anyone read Akaboshi yet? I am going to officially dub it as the unofficial successor to Hoshin Engi. I can't wait to read more. It's as if Fujisaki was writing a series for Takeshi obata. The main character totally reminds me of L with a sword.

Chapter 1 was definitely great. I hesitate to anoint it the next great series until it survives the next cut. Should Akaboshi last, I expect great things from it.

I've written my thoughts on it a few days ago From the point of view of someone who read the novel though.

I'm just worried that there won't be enough material for the author to rely upon as Houshin Engi did, since it started with the 108 bandits already together (it seems).

I get the feeling Akaboshi's going to outlast Medaka. Here's hoping it has a successful run.

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

I'm really looking forward to the upcomming one shots. is it something like the gold future cup?

About Akaboshi, well it has great art, but the story/characters was a bit weird for my taste. But I'm not going to judge it on only one chapter ...

Well, medaka box ch2 was as boring as ch1 =S Nothing original, overdone cliches, no useful character development at all... At least the male mainchar did not ride on the "i understand her best" line...

Sorry for the negativity, but I wanted to add onto my last complaint-post about Medaka since I feel like ch2 confirmed my suspicions that I based on the one shot and ch1 >.<

I do not know about medaka but I do know one thing: it utterly fails or it doesn't fail and it'll prolly claim sket dance's position (and sket dance will lose it). Whatever it may be: I do not believe there's place for sket dance and medaka (they are too similar imo)

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

as much as i've read into medaka box, it's only displayed it's episodic parts.
actually because of medaka box i've been inspired to give sket dance a thourogh chance, it finally hooked me in at chapter 6 and 8-9, and to be honest there can be no comparison until medaka displays as thoroughly enjoying and meaningful backstories and character developments as Sket Dans(or sket dance, whichever is proper). it may be this territorial fight that makes people read into both where they might not have read sket at all.

Regarding Medaka Box:
One-shot=Great.
Ch 1=Wasn't as good as the one-shot but still entertaining and I enjoyed it.
Ch 2=Very underwhelming but nothing that made me really hate it. Next chapter could be make or break.

Regarding Akaboshi:
Ch 1 wasn't anything out of the ordinary for me. It was the typical set up found in many a shounen series thus mediocre. Where it goes from here is important in how I view it.

The art is good though.

 

[Finestela]

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

They both have decent art, but both have their own flaws (in my view at least, I'll have to read Akaboshi ch.02 to see how the story will go). Personally, Medaka is more enjoyable than Akaboshi, but that's just me

Akaboshi's first chapter gave me the same feeling for D.Gray-man's first chapter, and I don't see it ending for a few more chapters (already, the "next issue blah blah blah" mentioned about a "next mission"... )

Does anyone know how Yu Yu Hakusho, Rurouni Kenshin, and Shaman King did in the TOC when they were in WSJ?

All three of them ran for more than 5 years... you need to be more specific on which part (in the beginning, middle, or toward the end).

Edit: I couldn't find any info available for Yu Yu (it ended in 1994, while Missle's Jump Archive only had ToC back to 1996).

I can check my archive webpage when I get home from work later. (heh, with all the talk as of late on modern Jump, it's great to hear one question on classic Jump again)

So what's the announcement?

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

I thought the announcement was going to be in issue 27

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

The heck is Jump Grand? New magazine? Something similar to Golden cup?
Ah, I'm really curious about it...

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

Judging by the page it looks like s series of oneshots since it gives the order and what issues they'll be in.

Yeah, shows the order of the one shots. Jump Grand seems to be what this is called. It's not the Golden Future Cup for some reason. Though Bakuman had said in these, the ones the editors think win will go first.

And it just says stuff like "big scoop" all around Kochikame. Doesn't say anything about what's gonna happen.
