Did anybody else laugh at the bit in Kowloon where they're like "yeah, our team was unstoppable legends!" and then just casually sliding in that it was from 89-91? 3 years. They're pining after the 3 years 30 years ago where they made it to the nationals.
This whole series has this weird energy to it where despite definitely being about highschool sports, the level of professionalism expected is more like what you'd expect from a pro team... except that bit, which is so highschool sports it hurts.
I know, I thought it was hilariously perfect. I just wish somebody had called them out on how ridiculous the nostalgia is, lol.I mean so far we've seen two teams
One of the elite schools for baseball in Japan which seems pretty accurate to elite hs sports across the world
And your typical "we'll be great again like we were xx years ago" which as someone who grew up in a rural town that had a former hs baseball championship team in like the 50's, I know people talked about wanting to be "better then those teams"
Really, I thought its in many of the major series (theres always at least one school that people get in through scouting and sports scholarships, Haikyuu and shiratorizawa, many teams in Ace of Diamond, major 2nd (Nishina and co), etc)I do think that the way they're talking about schools scouting players and giving them sports scholarships as if it's a normal-*** thing is eyebrow-raising, though.
It's a thing, in the us there's magnet schools that'll offer themReally, I thought its in many of the major series (theres always at least one school that people get in through scouting and sports scholarships, Haikyuu and shiratorizawa, many teams in Ace of Diamond, major 2nd (Nishina and co), etc)
Really just proves that jump needs to give their manga, anime way sooner theyre currently doing.
The most impressive thing is that Demon Slayer had sold "only" 7 million when the 15th volume was released. Ufotable really created a hit out of a normal shonen manga (a very good one, but not an impressive and unforgettable one by itself) thanks to their animation.
This week's TOC.
Next issue should have Elusive Samurai's first ranking.
To be fair, things take time. I can't remember if it was MAPPA who said this specifically, but things went into motion for the anime when the second volume was released. Of course, there are manga that get announced to be anime way sooner, but are they ever this polished? Probably not. That said, I'd be shocked if Yozakura Family didn't have an anime at least announced by the end of the year. Same with Undead Unlock.Really just proves that jump needs to give their manga, anime way sooner theyre currently doing.
Don't know if it will get to the lifetime of a few of those series though if its ending in two years.
YF feels like one where you want some filler chapters for additional comedy moments. They'd slide in easy and you have the perfect cast for itTo be fair, things take time.

people who buy the manga must not have much overlap with those that read the magazineLike, if it's that popular, how did it end up under even Build King and Dolphin Cop?
Phantom Seer ranking so low despite apparently selling pretty well is weird.

That sounds like the inverse of Dr. Stone. In the beginning it ranked super high, but nobody bought the volumes. Ever since the anime came out, it's been doing a lot better.Phantom Seer ranking so low despite apparently selling pretty well is weird.

Murata's release schedule is very irregular, and he uploads chapters in multiple parts which I think Viz doesn't translate until all the parts are out.I got the Shonen Jump app recently. I've caught up with One Punch Man and DB Super. I noticed Super has a countdown to the next chapter but OPM doesn't. Is that normal?
+also how he kept going back and adding and changing things in chapters, that they ended up just waiting until more final versions were outMurata's release schedule is very irregular, and he uploads chapters in multiple parts which I think Viz doesn't translate until all the parts are out.
I'm glad they remembered that Osamu appeared on TV
If Kakizaki is remembered for his tv stint, I guess Osamu's would certainly have made a splash. When does Border in series get on the stage play PR kick.

Yeah no seriously. At least offer her the bed, like what the hell Miyuki?Kaguya Latest

Yeah no seriously. At least offer her the bed, like what the hell Miyuki?
Yeah... I dropped it. Seems pretty bad to me.
I wonder how much is MHA then since it is always above Demon slayer in the US market" Andy Nakatani, Shonen Jump editor-in-chief at VIZ Media, the American manga publisher and distributor, says "Demon Slayer," is one of its top-sellers with more than 3 million copies in print in the U.S. "
Animated 'Demon Slayer' strikes chord with pandemic Japan
TOKYO (AP) — The demons are everywhere, sometimes spreading like purple slime, lurking, killing. The terrifying plight depicted in the swashbuckling animated film, “Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba the Movie: Mugen Train,” has struck a chord with pandemic-era Japan, and possibly with the world.apnews.com
