Pewdiepie posted:Now that Naruto and Bleach are over, what would you say the new big 3 are? Time to pull out this out again, updated for changes: Kuroyama posted:I think "Big Three" is a western creation. I prefer thinking in terms like "Top Draws" or "Main Eventers" myself [1], which currently looks like One Piece, MHA, Haikyuu, Shokugeki no Soma, Black Clover, and Promised Neverland. And you got a decent mid-card with titles like Gintama, World Trigger, Toriko, PSI Kusuo Saiki, Straighten Up, Samon the Summoner, and Yuragi-sou no Yuuna. I think that leaves just the new titles that haven't yet gotten over or won't last past 2 months. [2]

What would the "main event" series have been in the 1990s? Dragon Ball Z, obviously; maybe YuYu Hakusho? What else? (I suppose Sailor Moon would have been big but it's not a shonen series.)

MHA is definitely up there alongside One Piece, no question.

I don't know about in terms of magazine popularity polls, but in terms of stuff like cultural penetration (including stuff like merch sales) One Piece blows MHA out of the water in ways that are hard to describe. Having an anime that airs during a prime time slot for the past 17 years running will do that though.

Yeah, One Piece is like Stone Cold at the height of the Attitude Era, except there's no Rock, no Undertaker, no Kurt Angle, no Triple H.

What would have been number-one in popularity between Dragon Ball ending in 1995 and One Piece started in 1997?

Oh I wasn't talking about that, I thought we were talking about currently running shonen jump stuff and what's the top ones in that I know one piece is a cultural juggernaut, I honestly don't think even dbz has the cultural penetration it does at this point. Gundam maybe in japan, but worldwide one piece is kind of crazy well known, even in the us now it's huge, where it floundered for ages thanks to the apocalyptic 4kids dub

Slam Dunk was supposedly pretty popular. Ended in 1996, though. Maybe it doesn't count in the genre.

According to the wiki article, Rurouni Kenshin, Yugioh, and Sexy Commando Gaiden were big, but it still suffered a largeish hit in sales and tried a bunch of stuff to make up for it, including running gravure idol picture sections.

I'm not even sure how you define shounen as a genre, because it's basically just anything for young boys, isn't it? So I suppose that could include sports mangas alongside the action-adventure stuff (which I suppose is what most people would think of shounen manga as).

I was under the assumption we were talking specifically about Shonen Jump, actually. It is (was*) pretty easy to define what counted as shonen though, because the magazines all explicitly identified as one demographic or another, so if it ran in a shonen magazine it was shonen, if it didn't it wasn't. *The rise of independent publishing over the internet, where there's no explicitly stated demographic, makes some newer series hard to classify by the old standards though.

Don't question which series are shonen and which aren't, that way lies only madness and endless arguments. And the same goes for other demographics, the definitions are too loose. The only thing people (usually) agree on is that if a series runs in a shonen magazine, then it's probably shonen. efb, what z0glin said basically.

By the way, I don't think anyone here has discussed the twist at the end of the most recent Promised Neverland yet. I'm not completely clear what Norman's thought process here is. I'll have to go back to previous chapters and check what Emma and Norman said to Ray about the ropes. It's early enough in the series's run that a twist like this is a real possibility, although there's also a possibility of it being a fake-out.

I think it's a really dumb twist so it's probably just a fake out.

He was testing everyone. Besides Emma who he absolutely knows isn't a mole. He told Ray that he told the other two people two different locations. Giving Ray those two locations. But he probably told everyone different locations including Ray(well Ray got 2). So when Ray snitched trying to frame the other kid for it, Norman who told him fake information found the correct mole.

e. ^^  I think the thought process was: Norman told Ray that he would tell Don that the ropes are underneath the bed, and Gilda that the ropes are in the bathroom. But what he actually did was, he told both Don and Gilda the ropes were in the bathroom, so the only one who knew the ropes were under the bed was Ray. So when Ray told Mama that the ropes were under the bed he was planning on framing Don, while in reality he unwittingly outed himself as the spy. But I agree that it's a dumb twist. Let's just wait and see how they explain it.

Something new? Ryoko Post-apocalypse Japan, due to food being experimented on and eventually becoming sentient, huge, and violent. It's about a girl, her family, and her master, as she hunts and prepares their meals.

That chapter was p. bad, to be honest. Wasn't really a chapter so much as a list of names. Character, nameplate, character, nameplate, character, quip, nameplate, character, vague foreshadowing, nameplate. I don't even remember any of the characters aside from gently caress boi and Kengan Hearts, let alone their names. It probably won't be neccessary since we learned basically nothing about them and we'll see them mentioned by name again when it's their time to shine, but man, what a waste of a chapter.

it is a tournament so most of those new characters will never be relevant. a 32 man elimination match means even the champion only fights 5 guys. rihito will fight less than that, quite possibly with whoever beats him facing ohma later on.

It starts with a "Volume 1" page, but there's no English information about it's status, other than the magazine it's published in.
