Even though I'm a big Obata fan, I'll say Bleach because the art is just about the only thing it actually has going for it over the past few years, and Kubo at least deserves a little bit of love.

Reborn also has very good art, as does One Piece.

By the way, I was wondering, which current series running in Jump do you guys think have the best art. List them in order of preference please. Mine would have to be:

There are only two series whose art I can say I thoroughly enjoy.

One Piece, because, well, the characters just seem larger than life and they are all very much unique. There really isn't a cookie cutter mold for One Piece characters. Not to mention how creative each island is.

Oh, and Duval, nuff said .

The other is definitely Mago. I find the art very appealing and especially love the way battles are drawn. When the art goes calligraphy style, well then it just owns.

The rest (of what I read) from Jump all seem very similar to me.

I found Akaboshi the best, but it's out already, so I guess it doesn't count.

Actually had a conversation about this some while ago, Akaboshi and Medaka were on the top, but Medaka's been going downhill.

For the moment I guess I'll have to say Bleach, One Piece and Psyren would make the top three complete (not in any particular order) because of it's clean-cut and yet somewhat raw casual style.

Bakuman and Rilienthal are the worst in the magazine imo, mainly because I just don't like Rilienthal's and because Obata's trying a new style which still shows a lot of flaws.

IMO, the series w/ the best art are Psyren, Bleach, Bakuman, and Ane Doki. I thought Akaboshi's art was really good too. That's not meant to dog other series in Jump right now, but I personally find some of them to be an acquired taste, like One Piece, or I think the artist is still growing and we haven't seen their best stuff yet, like Beelzebub and Mago.

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

I agree with Xadyu about the quality of akaboshi's art. I was impressed when Akaboshi was first released. At the moment i would put Bakuman and Reborn as my top two 'consistent' art. While Naruto and One Piece are in my 'non-consistent' list, i'm writing 'non-consistent' as there are some character art that i really liked and some i don't really like.

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

One Piece and Mago for me, would count Akaboshi if it was still running.

Rilienthal could have potential because I really like the style, but it'd take some time to see where that goes.

Can anybody get the volume sales numbers of Naruto, Bleach, and One Piece from volume 1 to 15?

 

[Crude]

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

I would have definitely chosen Akaboshi as well if it were still running. It's not unfortunately... And although its also been canceled, Bokke-san would be one of my top favourites.

Akaboshi and Eyeshield21 art were amazing. I loved how Amano used indian ink in a watercolour style from time to times. And also about Murata the cross hatching technique used gave the series an epic touch.

Currently I like Bakuman's art it has a very fun and deitaled style specially in color pages and volume covers.
Mago's art is also amazing it seems like traditional japanese paintings.
Ane doki's art is also prety good just like most echi series.

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

Murata did some beautiful colour spreads, but for some reason I though his art in the manga was pretty average except for a couple scenes.

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

wow.. Ane Doki just escaped the bottom 5. better than the last place it had last week but not too reassuring at all...


Wait, when the bottom 5 came out beelze was in it. Why is it at #3?

 

[wingman32x]

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

Oh thanks! I was wondering what was up with that.

 

[ruggia]

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

Ane and Hokenshitsu barely improved...

OP so low is a bit weird, but I guess its because of Chapter 0.

 

[Ronin88]

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

To me the best artwork would be Bleach and Mago. If Akaboshi was still running i would of chose it....R.I.P. I quite miss Akaboshi.

 

[StrangerAtaru]

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

I never knew OP could get so low. (someone whispers something about double chapters) Oh...yeah.

Well other than that silliness, good week for Beezle (after a horrible one last time) and Bakuman (haven't seen it this high in a while). And I'm also sort of hoping we get a flyer on the Mago anime so we get a bit on who is doing it.

 

[Estranho]

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

I guess OP isn't ranked here, because of chapter 0.

 

[Xadyu]

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

Yeah, OP is probably in the middle to get some space between the special chapter and the regular chapter. I guess we can count it out in this ToC then, can't we?

Should be something like this then:

1. Naruto
2. Bleach
3. Beelzebub
4. Bakuman
5. Katekyo Hitman Reborn!
6. Inumaru Dashi
7. Kuroko no Basket
8. One Piece
9. Kochi Kame
10. Hokenshitsu no Shinigami
11. Ane-Doki
12. Sket Dance
13. Toriko
14. Kashikoi Inu Rilienthal
15. Psyren
16. Medaka Box

 

[Drmke]

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

If it wasn't for Psyren being so low, this would come close to a near perfect ToC. Beelzebub and Bakuman both in the top 5, Nekowappa being placed so high (even though its not ranked, this has gotta be a good sign), Mago anime annoucement, and One Piece double chapters! I may have a fan-gasm.

 

[Negative Syndicate]

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

Nekowappa being placed so high (even though its not ranked, this has gotta be a good sign)

I can't determined it is good sign. Medaka and Akaboshi were placed high, but they dropped when they got ranked, also Hokenshitsu and Rilienthal were quite high, but both are not doing very good (especially Rilienthal).
