I was excited for Reaper's Dice Game, cause I love edgy death game stuff, but I'm not sure about this one. Seems kind of like Death Note (I could be wrong, but the Reaper character did bear a slight resemblance to Ryuk) and having the game mechanics restricted to throwing dice seems kind of...

The order of axes really shouldn't be a surprise, Jump generally axes its DOA series in the order they were published, so of course Taisei would get the boot before Beast and TSS. It's not like it was axed "over" one of the other series.

I'm pretty sure Yui Kamio will be one of the first axes, the way things are going it could easily end in one chapter if Shibashi really rushed it. Considering how things are going, there will probably be another serialization round in the next 4-5 weeks, it wouldn't be the first time something...

Same, those crystal attacks and kishin would look really cool with proper animation, only problem is they might be a little to overdesigned for that. Realistically speaking, whichever studio adapts it would probably use a lot of cgi for those things, but a guy can dream.

I think in general, the representation of female characters has improved, and has actually been under appreciated for a while. Obviously, stereotypes exist for a reason, but good female characters have been a part of Shonen Jump for a while, Stone Ocean, for example, had a decently sized female...

I think it's related to what Ryuusei said, it's not so much that the content is new, but the fact that more people are able to voice their opinions on the matter as well as increased discussion and changing attitudes on what is and isn't considered acceptable. Sure it's been going on for years...

That wasn't really what I was talking about at all, I was more talking about how information and lore is delivered in a series, and how World Trigger did this at a slower rate so not to overwhelm the reader, spacing out events so that the necessary information didn't have to be too much at one time.

This is something I've been meaning to talk about for a while, so I figure I might as well just bring it up. In the early volumes of World Trigger, Ashihara talks about some of the changes he made to the early chapters, which were all focused around the amount of information given to the...

Mitama's really starting to grow on me, I doubt it'll be a huge sucess, but it would be a nice back-spot series like Isobee.

I mean, it's possible people were turned off by the art style (which has been criticized by some people) so seeing the animated version got people invested in the story so they were willing to look past it to get into the manga as well. Not saying this is right, but it might be true for some...

It's definitely gonna get a chance to build, partly because there's already 4 dead series to provide a cushion, and partly because being attached to Kishimoto (not to mention the intense marketing) means it's probably going to get a better chance than most. Honestly, despite these numbers I...

I expected Samurai 8 sales to be at least near RobotxLaserbeam, aren't those numbers like what Hungry Marie and Cross Account got? Anyway, it'll be nice if Yozakura continues to do good, though it's still up in the air at this point. I think at this point what I'd like to see most is some...

I think around the end of the week, like Thursday-Friday.

Probably for the best, even in a civilized context, those can get real ugly real quick.

They did indeed.
