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

Gags hardly count as they're untranslated. Hard to read.

I've had trouble getting into the 2009 series. Medaka and Ane are serviceable, beelze is great. A lot of my older series ended or I dropped them. I guess that accounts for my light reading list.

I forgot to add Gintama to my list even though I've been reading it for three years now >.<

so, 11. Gintama

Well, didn't know if we should include them or not. Not like I read any of them but yeah.

WSJ felt a lot weaker with the older series ending when I looked back on it. It still hasn't quite built itself up again for me.

2009 series haven't absolutely sucked imo but I'd say its 50/50. I enjoy Medaka, Ane Doki, Beelzebub, and Bokke-san when it was around. In contrast, Akaboshi, Kuroko, and Kagijin have felt lacking throughout most of their runs.

I can't judge the other 2 but I had the feeling I would like Lilienthal over Hokenshitsu.

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

First post here. My own list in regards to Kaiten's question, in no particular order -

1. Beelzebub
2. Bleach
3. Medaka
4. Psyren
5. Naruto
6. Bakuman
7. Ane Doki

I'm a little light on WSJ current series since Eyeshield and ToLove ended, and haven't found the time yet to get into some of the other series currently running.

I'd consider most of the 2009 series mediocre. There was no Visiteaur (sic) type garbage but a lot of run of the mill shonen. Beelze is a lot of fun, not exactly classic manga, but great shonen. Ane is good but not as good as the rest of Kawashita's catalog. Medaka has the potential to be better but started off to episodic. Kind of feels like a yanki manga now, but is getting a bit better ^^

One Piece seems to be the closest we have to a common thread. So far it's on more lists then any series.

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

They're the stand byes. All new manga fans have to read those series. That's the rules. Every one seems to stick with them weather they like or not too. Some of the newer, more interesting series like Mago and Beelzebub are getting some love too.

i think i've seen Bakuman in most lists too.

 

[Kaiten]

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

Bakuman has been on a lot. That makes me happy, it's one of the few Jump series I would call a classic. It really is as good as some of the series I read from othe demographics. Mago is heading that way IMO. Toriko could head that way but hasn't yet IMO.

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

One Piece
Naruto
Reborn
Bleach
Kuroko
Hunter x Hunter (if you count it)

I've fallen way behind on Sket Dance, although I was reading it awhile back. I've read a little of Mago, too.

 

[Kaiten]

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

Besides Mago, I just recently started it and I'm stuck at chapter 8, since it's still unintresting, will continue it soon though.

Mago gets more interesting as you read. The first volume is mostly set up and introduction. Once the first arc starts it will really hook you.

BTW: Of the series I read the only one that I'm unenthusiastic about is Bleach. I don't hate it, I like it enough to keep reading but don't have strong feelings. It's the only series, out of the 50 or so series I'm reading, that I look at spoilers for.

I used to read Sket Dance, found most of it boring, so I stopped. I liked some arcs as much as any shonen. The episodic parts killed me.

Here's my list of current running WSJ manga. Listed alphabetically. Besides Mago, I just recently started it and I'm stuck at chapter 8, since it's still unintresting, will continue it soon though.

keep on reading. i didn't like first few chaps of mago too, and dropped it once in early chapters, but it gets better, and recent chaps are awesome.

interesting how Bakuman is the most read manga on this thread
seems like almost everyone on this thread reads it. i guess its because the topics are related.

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

Lack of enthusiam=Naruto(Makes me really sad because the potential is always there), Bleach, Kuroko, and Akaboshi.

i think i've seen Bakuman in most lists too.

Bakuman has been on a lot. That makes me happy, it's one of the few Jump series I would call a classic. It really is as good as some of the series I read from othe demographics. Mago is heading that way IMO. Toriko could head that way but hasn't yet IMO.

I think anyone that has at least read or heard of the gateway type series (The big 3, Dragonball, etc) ends up wanting to know a bit more about the magazine that hosts them. Bakuman does a pretty good job of supplying that information so I'm not surprised it managed to be on top so far.

Imo, the Kyoto arc is what Mago really needed to increase its clout. This feels much like its Chuunin exam, Varia, Arlong Park/Alabasta arc that puts the series on another level. I'd expect it to get on the cover again sometime in 2010. If we are lucky anyway. =/

I thought Toriko was reaching that with the Regal Mammoth, but I think its monumental arc may come when those Vice-chefs begin to move.

I know, introduction arcs are hard to get past.. for me at least. Had trouble with that with manga's like D. Gray Man, Hunter x Hunter and Kekkaishi too, as example, probably some more, but I can't remember those now.

Of the (WSJ) series I read, I'm actually not enthousiastic about any of them. Except for Toriko.

Although episodic manga are for my dislike too, I don't mind it with manga like Sket Dance.

keep on reading. i didn't like first few chaps of mago too, and dropped it once in early chapters, but it gets better, and recent chaps are awesome.

I don't do dropping. I never dropped a manga (or anything else) in my life, won't do so either. Putting something on-hold is something different, I have manga's (Air Gear, Hunter x Hunter) which have been put on-hold for at least a year or two now. I even had an anime, .Hack//SIGN, which I put on-hold because it's so plain freaking boring for 6 years. Although I continued it this week, watched it from the beginning of course since I couldn't remember shit.

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

alphabetically:

Akaboshi ()
Bakuman
Beelzebub
Bleach
Gantz ( not in Weekly Jump, but who cares)
Naruto
ONE PIECE
Psyren

Psyren and Bakuman the best new series in the list. I love Psyren, damn.

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

I drop manga. Won't mention any by name Glad to hear you don't, Xadyu.

ITA about the Kyoto arc, this is definitely the flash point of the series. Not that the other arcs were bad. I expect Toriko to have a similar arc at some point, but it moves at a slower pace so I'll be patient. And yeah, Bakuman is basically this thread in manga form I still want this to be the last series Obata/Ohba do for WSJ. I'd like them to remain a team; I'd just prefer them to switch anthologies. Leaving Shueisha and moving to Big Comic Spirits would be amazing. Since nobody leaves Shueisha or Kodansha for a Shogakukan magazine I'll live with Young Jump.
