Yes im watching the witch and the advent of THE PLOT, and the first groanworthy gag, very closely. This series better not stop being funny.

His art style is really nice looking and Rough Sketch Senpai was freaking hilarious and cute in a similar to Senryu Shoujo where you have this core couple and the romance is SUPER BLATANT, but neither makes a move while their collective group of super weirdo friends watches on.

Julias posted:Oh I should have clarified, I didn't mean that in a "I think it's bad" way, I meant it in a literal "I don't know if it's promising, I don't know anything about it or the one shot" way. No worries. I didn't think you were saying it was bad. I just felt that it was worth bringing up, in the context of a slightly odd cancellation, that what they were bringing in to replace Phantom Seer was starting off with a higher level of expected audience interest. It's basically a rare case where the answer to "Is there really a promising manga starting next week that really needs to start next week and not in a couple months?" is "yes."

Blue Box seems like it could be pretty fun. Looking forward to seeing how it continues from this point now that all of the setup is out of the way.

Mash was so good. So many things I liked about this chapter. Meanwhile Witch Watch successfully defeated a dress while still keeping it’s tone clearly early bleach. Good stuff, with a few okay laughs. Sakamoto: Sniper guy is still around! Sweet!

So, Build King ended except they promised more in a graphic novel? I mean, it's not a big loss, to be honest, pretty much the only really enjoyable part was the restauration arc.

I feel like the chapter might have gotten a little bit too meta, but I still love it. Mashle is great. I hope the Tengu's umbrella also becomes a part of the cast in Witch Watch.

Though the first two episodes got leaked early a little while back the Eden’s Zero anime officially begins today. From what I can tell it’s mostly a new voice cast aside from Happy and maybe Erza’s VAs coming back to voice their counterparts (not sure if the same will be true if/when the series gets dubbed though) Actually out of curiosity, did any Rave Master alumni come back to voice characters in Fairy Tail?

I love that everyone in Mashle is built like Bayonetta. Just, 65% spindly legs in body height with some massive shoes.

It was really pushing that boundary, but then it just went full insanity giving no fucks and I love it. Though I do wonder how long this love will last. Still I do love how they showcased Macaron's threat. From him having the same love of a food to him overpowering Mash's volleyball move which we've seen multiple time already. I wonder if he'll join Mash's group like a Vegeta. Him going Rock Lee was awesome. Slightly worried about the new guys coming in. Nine Dragonballs: I think I see 2 new team members coming on. Roboco: Was funny Magu chan: I don't know Elusive Samurai: I slowly winning me over. Bluebox: I too love KotKat's I normally wouldn't have tried this, because the bullshot didn't seem like something I would like. However it was mentioned here briefly, so why not try. It was nice I guess.

Elusive Samurai has really won me over. I was really ready to drop it but I'm glad I held on. The characters started pretty lukewarm but they've really grown into their own and are fun. The eye bulging villain guy is so great, he's just so insanely evil and fun. I was also pretty meh on the retainer kids earlier but they're shaping up to be fun too. Overall I enjoy the direction it's going and have found myself looking forward to it the past couple weeks.

Did they actually see him transform? Seems like he jumped off the building they were on first. Hoshina will probably figure it out even if they didn't, but he might assist in keeping the secret if no one else saw Overwork is a huge problem in the industry as a whole so I'm glad the creators of #8 get a lighter schedule but I can't help selfishly wishing they did a real chapter every week, because the series loving owns

At the very least people are definitely going to suspect him after that. Guy moves faster than he should be able to, jumps over a ledge and immediately Kaiju No. 8 appears in the place where he jumped, lol. It gives some sort of deniability, but I don't see how it would work on the people at the scene. The result might just be that the group of people aware of the secret increases by two.

We've also seen drones flying around. Even if they didn't see him, there's bound to be camera footage. But I also expect the likes of Hoshina to be clever enough to put it together

im hopeful that kaiju #8 and spy x family taking periodic breaks is indicative of loosening the extremely harmful practices of the industry as a whole. i can only hope that more high profile publishers and mangaka follow suit

My guess is those two getting breaks like that is more because they are selling and doing absurdly well. The Togashi and Oda clause

Dexo posted:My guess is those two getting breaks like that is more because they are selling and doing absurdly well. Nah, those were the schedules for the manga even before they were hits. It's a Jump Plus thing that's been discussed in interviews. Not having to worry about a physical publication gives a lot more flexibility in both timing and page allotment.

Yeah, Jump Plus series are published online, they aren't competing for space in a physical magazine. That gives them more freedom to set healthier schedules. I still think weekly breaks should be implemented for all of the mangaka in the physical magazine though, they have to work a hellish number of hours every day, and giving them more free time can only be good for the health and creative output.

I feel like Weekly Jump could easily switch to a publishing model where they just publish a few more series and let a couple mangaka take a week off every week.

Fabricated posted:I feel like Weekly Jump could easily switch to a publishing model where they just publish a few more series and let a couple mangaka take a week off every week. It might be possible, and even better in the long term, but it's certainly not easy. Putting aside the difficulties of switching the system over to accommodate a rotating system, and selling the public on getting less of their favorite manga in the interests of the wider industry, there's also the issue that it wouldn't be in the best interests of all the mangaka involved. The most complicated variable is the speed and endurance of the writers. You see all kinds of people if you look at the schedules for manga writers, and all kinds of capacity. Some people are basically eating themselves alive, some are basically on top of things... until a minor health issue comes up, or something else throws off the schedule (at which point they spiral), and you even have people like Aka Akasaka who can manage multiple series at once without breaking down. No matter which pace you pick, there are going to be people who are still strained, and people who are pushing at the limits. But on top of that there's also the fact that the weekly delivery is important for rookies who need to hook people in. Sure, waiting an extra week or two for One Piece won't make most people drop it, but a series like Blue Box or Sakamoto Days could easily fall in the surveys with just a week's absence. Jump Plus isn't just good because it's more generous to the writers, but because it's more flexible, letting authors set their own pace. Going for a different one size fits all system isn't a better way forward. chiasaur11 fucked around with this message at 07:44 on Apr 16, 2021 |

i don't think a single manga has ever been improved by squeezing a mangaka to the physical limits of what they can withstand. slower and irregular releases are the price of letting the creators live like human beings and that's perfectly okay.

There are other magazines with more reasonable, monthly schedules. Weekly Jump can afford to push its artists the way it does because it ruthlessly cancels anyone who can't keep up. Under the logic that there are always more people wanting to be published.

Oda can take a break every 2 weeks because Jump knows that if they fire him he'll just go to another magazine(and the massive amount of money he generates)

I don't think it is long for this magazine, but I think "i tell c" is slowly finding a fun dynamic and level of seriousness (or lack of) between it's characters and cases.
