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

Do you know what the Golden Future Cup series' are about then?

"Metalica Metaluca", that actually rings a bell, yet I have no knowledge about the Golden Future Cup at all, is that possible?

Has it been published before or something like that?

The Golden Future Cup is an event about each year they serialized numbers of newbies one shot, and the winner of Golden Future Cup can serialize their one shot to series.

It is started since 2004, and this year is fifth Golden Future Cup.

Currently, Shiibashi Hiroshi (author of Nurarihyon no Mago), Tamura Ryuuhei (author of Beelzebub), and Amano Youichi (author of Akaboshi) were the past winners of Golden Future Cup. And Aimoto Shou (author of Hokenshitsu no Shinigami) was past runner up.

I'm glad to know the readers liked Metalica... I got a huge Shaman King vibe from the preview pic. Hope it wins. None of the other one-shots seemed all that interesting to me... except maybe North Island.

Sorry, but are you saying that the Japanese readers did not like them?

I mean that Japanese readers tend like Metalica most and Crown least. But, it doesn't mean Metalica going to win for sure, yet. We will find out at next week.

Crown was a sports manga right? If so no surprise they weren't feeling it what with the utter rejection they have given most recent sports series. The editors needed to keep Kuroko on life support just to get it where it currently is at.

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

Yeah, it looks like Crown was a soccer manga...apparently none of them was scanned if I remember correctly but I found this neat picture some time ago:

As for the small summaries posted earlier...don't bother to take a look at them and translate right now. I might do it tomorrow or so if nobody else'd give it a shot.

Looks like Metalica Metalica was most likely literally about metal, how fun.

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

Dengi stands out to me, but I've been playing Kingdom Hearts a lot so maybe I am just drawn to a blunt object being used to smack around shadow monsters.

 

[Kaiten]

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

They all look so stereotypically shonen I died inside a little. Crown looked well drawn, at least. Hey, FC Barcelona was last years runner up, there's nothing to stop a sports series from doing good this year. Unless he really wears a crown all the time >.<

Funny thing, I found a two year old Future Golden Cup thread today. Seems there was a lot of debate as to what was better that year, Muddy or Mago. Since that was the last time Future Cup comics were scanned the thread died a long time ago.

 

[Drmke]

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

Now that I've seen the pictures, I still think Crown! looks the most interesting unless, like Kaiten said, he wears that crown all the time......Dengi looks like it might be good too. Not really liking the way North Island looks though. Looks kinda like Ten from Bakuman.

 

[Kaiten]

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

The art for Metalica Metaluca looks generic. Such a dangerous thing to a judge a series solely on art, and one page at that. Their are plenty of great series with mediocre (or worse) art, so many terrible series that look amazing.

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

Well, looks like rumor about Akaboshi and Kagijin going to be cut on issue 47 was false. Then, looks like return of Kano and Komi might be false, too.

 

[Xadyu]

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

I wouldn't mind seeing Kano and Komi again though.

Yet I'd rather see Kano with a seinen serialization, that just fits him better.

I think Kano is more fit with Jump sq, than shonen jump and seinen magazine.

Well some times there are fragments of truth within false rumors, so it may or may not be true. I remember similar things happening before.

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

I would rather see Kano stay in shounen (but not WSJ).
it would be nice if he moves to WSM or Jump SQ.
