Mag Talk Weekly Shonen Magazine - News and Discussion

Shanfro anime pacing is pretty bad
>first 4 minutes spent on recaping last week episode going over information that doesn't matter anyway
>nothing happens for 10 minutes
>characters flashback to what happened minutes earlier
>ED start around 18 minutes
>2 or 3 meaningless and unfunny post credits scenes that just goes on and on for no reason

This is as bad as One Piece except OP actually have an excuse for its pacing

I would agree but the stuff between the initial flashback and the end is pretty fast paced. Also I find the minis fun.

[Mankichi Togawa]

Medaka getting a LCP for just a new circulation update makes me wonder...

What's the deal with Gachiakuta? Since the start of the series, it has gotten only 1 sad LCP in these 2 years.

[Mammo]

I thought this was under-performing (if not a flat out flop) but they keep pushing it

according to leaks the announcement is a LA movie

 

[coldmess]

It’s definitely underperforming but shonen magazine will give anything an anime/movie these days. I’m happy though because I love Akabane Honeko.

Does anyone know what's getting the lcp in next WSM issue?

Kanan-sama

 

[Mankichi Togawa]

I think Kanan-sama has already thrice the amount of LCPs Seitokai and Kagurabachi have together

I thought Gachiakuta was doing better than that tbh. Looking at this list it really makes sense why they're all in on rom coms now.
