This arc is just not flowing very well on a weekly basis.


Like, I'm glad we get these character spotlights and all, but given the whole operation is "WE HAVE TO BUST IN, AND QUICKLY TAKE CARE OF THESE DUDES," and it feels like it's taking forever...I'm not surprised it's taking a beating.

Yeah. The chapters that got bad ratings were basically all of Kirishima's flashbacks/fight and the Toga/Twice betrayal chapter.

Viz is fine, calm the hell down and get the drat subscription.

I mean, One Piece is fine at its absolute worst and good great the other 95% of the time, and OG Dragonball is a god-tier localization, but OPM is just not that great and everything people have posted about VIZ's Mha job indicates the same.

is digital jump still padding its series lineup with re-runs of stuff from the 90s and 00s? dragonball started showing up at the end of my last sub and that plus the incredibly slow opm releases convinced me it was not worth it at all.

Viz also had a problem with misattributing speech bubbles and straight-up mistranslations, at least in the volume releases.

Nope. My subscription dropped a month or so ago when the phone I was reading it on died, but as far as I can recall the only time that happened was when they were running the Full-Color Dragonball for a while. They do Jump Backs now and then where they run the first three chapters of an old manga, but other than that it's only current releases and slightly behind OPM.

I don't think it's lacked for content for quite a long time.

i may have just seen the start of a jump back and assumed it would be running start to end. as someone who already buys volumes of several series i'll probably stick to that as my method of support though

Yes they can! Zorro has been public domain for decades. It was a dumb mistake that 4kids made and everyone else copied.

Yeah Funimation and Crunchyroll have no problem using Zoro in the subs and dub.
Viz only uses Zolo to remain consistent with old chapters that were remaining consistent with 4kids.

I actually thought that myself and looked into it and apparently the rights to zorro are (or were as of 2 years ago) owned by someone and the subject of some lawsuits about whether it counted as public domain

the lawsuits started in 2013 but that's still well after one piece got dubbed/translated

Zorro, the character, is in the public domain. Anything published before 1923 is automatically public domain, and the first Zorro story was from 1919!

The deal with the lawsuit is that plenty of Zorro stories were published after that date, and so any details from them can't be used. This is the same bullshit that has tripped up multiple Sherlock Holmes authors--95% of the original Holmes' stories are out of copyright, but the final ones are not, and they're the ones that mention Watson's second wife. So if you write a Holmes story and mention Watson's second marriage, congrats, you're getting a call from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's estate. They don't have much else to do, now.

RE: ratings chat I wouldn't be surprised if everything from the Sasuke fight up through the VA appearances rated poorly because none of it had to happen on screen and the enemies are dispensable nobodies. It's been a bit of a slog.

The main issue is that we already have a huge stable of characters that need screen time and Horikoshi went "nah" and added more.

For my part, I've enjoyed most of it all the same. And everything involving Mirio has reminded me why I love this series.

I got a year of WSJ for like $10 in some sale thing they were having and check out the official translation there. It's been pretty meh overall. Very dry, very literal, hosed up off and on.

It's weird how both the scanlators and official translators gently caress up different stuff that seems really obvious. Viz will completely screw up a line or two sometimes or more frequently, mess up who is talking. Mangastream/JB/FA will completely gently caress up the context of lines or try to attribute more meaning than they should. It kinda helps to have both on hand.

Are you guys sure about that? I've always thought they pick a sample of a few thousand postcards every week and each ranking reflect the previous week's results (and if I'm not mistaken that's how it worked in Bakuman too).

Can't see what's the point of publishing popularity ranks from 2 months prior :confused:

Spoilers dropping finally. These are actually very spoilery, so warning.

Deku hits 20% because he has no other choice.

Nighteye takes what looks like fatal injuries to me. Or at least he's not loving walking them off for sure. It could be a massive troll and him "forecasting" his own death to avoid it but I haven't seen the rest of the chapter. I'm guessing the latter.

That's good but I wish they would let us know if he had a cold or if he collapsed on his desk, pen in hand, and an assistant found him. I guess they'd never do that for obvious reasons but I really hope the guy is ok.
