Re: Weekly Shounen Jump [2009] - Discussion & TOC Talk v.3

On a side note, what does the Jump Pirate mean?

Wow I was wondering the same thing myself too when I first saw the magazine but I think I might be able to give a explanation behind the Shonen Jump Pirate guy. There was an article in the January 2009 issue of the English Shonen Jump about Weekly Shonen Jump and it gave a little bio of the pirate guy. It says "This pirate is the symbol of Weekly Shonen Jump. He has been on the cover of every issue since the begining. The magazine's orginal editors chose him to represent their desire to spread WSJ manga around the world like jolly buccaneers braving the stormy, uncharted seas."
I hope that helps to answer your question.

Best question of the day! I'd like to know myself. I wonder if he hangs out with the Shonen Sunday catfish and Shonen Magazine Mole.

I bet he dosent because those are his competition and I dont think he would hang around them lol. Also since you bring that up it makes me want to question, Why does every manga magazine in Japan have to have some sort of mascot appear on their magazine?

Isn't it funny that the most popular manga in Jump right now is a series about pirates? I bet the editor who make they symbol is proud to see it, if he is still alive, I mean.

Don't think the guy is alive but yeah, it's a pretty neat coincidence. makes me wonder why the Jump Pirate still hasn't made a special appearance in OP (or has he? )

Wow, finally an answer! I had been wondering this for a long time now, specially because he's the one who guides you in the Shonen Jump DS games (every WSJ manga lover should play them, they're awesome). I already thanked your post, but thanks!

Re: Weekly Shounen Jump [2009] - Discussion & TOC Talk v.3

Psyren is scary low. Dropping into the bottom five isn't that big a deal right now, at least for established series. But third from bottom at least makes me pause. Akaboshi spends it's third straight week second from bottom. Very, very bad. Especially with cuts coming within a month. Only Kagijin as a buffer is not a good sign. Happy that Ane Doki is out of the bottom five this week. It's been quite good lately.

Glad to see Mago getting color and extra pages (again!) for issue 48. If any of the Golden Cup series had been translated I'd be more excited about the announcement of the winner. Hopefully it is as good as the last two!

Re: Weekly Shounen Jump [2009] - Discussion & TOC Talk v.3

As much as I'm happy Mago is getting color and extra pages again, I would've been happier if it got the lead CP instead of Bleach, I'm really craving for a mago cover. Oh well, at least it looks like Mago's stature in the eyes of Jump's editor has increase a lot.

WORST TOC EVER nooooooooooooooo.

Gintama and sket dance are in botom five. I also lost all my hopes for akaboshi and the Naruto goes on break. Fortunately mago got colour.

Sket Dance just barely made it out of the bottom this time.

Unzen appears at the end of the chapter where this was ranked. I'm interested if Medaka will jump up or not with the following chapters.

Psyren back down to the bottom hm? Well that isn't what I wanted to see. I'm surprised it went even lower than Medaka this time. Even so, Psyren is still fine this time around.

Akaboshi hasn't gotten any higher even with its ryouzanpaku chapters getting ranked so I guess there isn't any hope left for it.

Damn, I wish there wasn't a break for Naruto. The faster it ends the better.

Looking forward to the Mago color though I could do without more Bleach.

Next week should be Shinigami's official ranking. I'll be surprised if it debuts outside of the bottom 5 with how much struggling is going on in the middle.

Also I'm happy to see Ane-doki not being in the bottom 5/6 this time around.

Re: Weekly Shounen Jump [2009] - Discussion & TOC Talk v.3

hmm interesting. i wonder if its Medaka improving, or just Psyren doing bad.
Akaboshi seems to be going down along with Kagijin.

so it was just a rumor huh. sigh. i was hoping Naoshi Komi to do at least a oneshot by end of the year, but seems like its not happening.

Re: Weekly Shounen Jump [2009] - Discussion & TOC Talk v.3

More than a few times, I think. Naruto has spent as much time at number one this year as One Piece.

It's probably thanks to the 10th anniversary.

Re: Weekly Shounen Jump [2009] - Discussion & TOC Talk v.3

glad to see Ane Doki out of the bottom 5 this week. I wonder what spot it's going to be in when the actual ToC comes out. I hope it goes back to the middle like all of the other times when not in the bottom 5.

Medaka moved up a little bit from its usual second to last place position. I've been really enjoying Medaka lately.

It's also One Piece's fault, it's already time to bring back the ''original cast'' of the series.


*awaits for Reborn! CP*

That surely is one of the reasons the otherwise good content doesn't get the votes it would if they were involved. But I don't think Oda cares much about where in Jump OP is as long as he can tell his story

Also with Naruto being out the week after OP is out, what are they planning? do they want to meassure who gets them more readers?

Or maybe to get Bleach on top spots for a few weeks running.

haha @ = Naruto . i just realized it. thats pretty awesome.

do we have any info on this year's Golden Future Cup other than plain titles?

 

[Drmke]

Re: Weekly Shounen Jump [2009] - Discussion & TOC Talk v.3

Akaboshi . And Psyren too!!! That at least better go back up next week....even Mago color pages couldn't make up for losing two series I enjoy.

But hurray for the Golden Future annoucement!! Even though I don't know what any of them are about, Crown! sounds like a sports manga to me...which makes me interested in seeing it serialized.

 

[kewl0210]

Re: Weekly Shounen Jump [2009] - Discussion & TOC Talk v.3

Gintama Yoyos all the way from the top to the bottom.... Rest is pretty normal.
And Naruto going on break next week to match with OP being off this week.

Mago getting a lot more attention, too.

Re: Weekly Shounen Jump [2009] - Discussion & TOC Talk v.3

Next round of cancellation going to start at issue 49, I think. Then, we might able to which series going out on next Sunday.

I'm sad to see Akaboshi is so low. I'm only hoping on tank sells, but everyone said Medaka and Akaboshi's sales are low because they are not at top 30. However, I heard that Medaka and Akaboshi are having their reprint and going to release at mid-October. I think Medaka and Akaboshi are not is top 30 because Shueisha might copy only little bit for Medaka's and Akaboshi's first edition.

As for Golden Future Cup, I find that most Japanese reviewers like Metalica Metalica most and Crown worst.
