Still Alive...

Namaste, motherfuckers! Yeah, again, I've been lazy and not made any posts in like a month. But now that I have more time, I'll get on top of things. Bitches.

A pretty good ToC this week. AC and Nisekoi are destroying, Gintama has been pretty low for a while. Retsu, what happened? You jumped up to 5th, then dropped like a motherfuck down to 13th!

RIP Koisome Momiji, I never read you, but it's still not nice to see series die

Thanks for reading! ^.^

*From 2 weeks ago, as was not ranked last week

An OK ToC this week. Sorry this took so long, I've had a lot on my plate recently and just couldn't find the time to do it. Glad to see Assassination Classroom is doing very well. And Katekyo Hitman Reborn! has ended! I can't say I'm not disappointed with the ending though, I mean, it slightly annoys me that there was not much resolution. Does Tsuna end up with Kyoko or Haru? What does he look like 10 years later? Does he even accept becoming Neo Vongola Primo? Ah well, I'm sure Amano will do a proper conclusion when the final manga volume, 42, comes out February 2013. I also hope that it gets translated into English...

Oh, and Takamagahara's been cancelled. *sigh* It had a lot of potential. Ah well, that's the way the cookie crumbles. Thanks for reading! ^.^

Return of the Mack

Let's do this shit...

I'm just gonna blast through Issues 48 and 49, 'cause I don't give a fuck. Expect to get a proper post for Issue 50 where I summarize shit that's happened, primarily for my benefit.

Friday 2 November 2012

Music and passion were always the fashion at the Copa...

I'm really sorry I haven't made any new posts in ages. I'm going through quite a difficult period, so if you could bear with me, I'll try to get up to speed soon.

  • Assassination Classroom is 1st! Oh yeah, baby!
  • Nisekoi back up to 6th
  • Bleach up to 7th
-
  • Gintama stays 10th, one palce above the bottom 5
  • Reborn! in the bottom 5 again
  • Kurogane also ranked poorly
  • Takamagahara unsurprisingly ranked last. I'd expect it's already been cancelled, and that JUMP has told the author to wrap up the series in the next few chapters
Other changes:
  • Toriko: No change from 2nd
  • Naruto: 4th > 3rd
  • PSI Kusuo Saiki: No change from 4th
  • Sket Dance: 8th > 5th
  • Haikyuu!!: 7th > 8th
  • Kochikame: 11th > 9th
  • Medaka Box: 13th > 12th
  • Koisome Momiji: 14th > 15th
ToC this week ain't too bad, Gintama and Reborn! continue their slump. Doubt it matters much for Reborn! anyway. The Naruto chapter being ranked is where Tobi's identity is revealed, surprised it didn't get first and also lost to Assassination Classroom. Plus, Retsu!! Date-Senpai gets its first ranking next week, with Cross Manage's coming the week after. If anyone's read them or knows if they're good, please take some of your cherished time to tell me. Anyway, thanks for reading, see you next week! ^.^

Positives:

Negatives:
  • Reborn! continues its slump being first of the bottom 5

An OK ToC this week, nice to see Bleach up, I doubt Reborn!'s slump means much seeing as it looks like it's ending anyway. What's the matter, fanboys/girls? Don't like seeing your favourite characters getting slaughtered???? There's also a Jojo's Bizarre Adventure one-shot next week. I've never read the series, so this is of little interest to me. Can anybody tell me if it's worth reading? And there's also a Nisekoi poster next issue! Thanks for reading, see you next week! ^.^

Positives... Or should I say POSITIVE:

  • Assassination Classroom is 1st!!!!
Negatives:
  • One Piece falls to 2nd, but at least it's to a good series
  • Kurogane falls to 10th, but at least it's not in the bottom 5
  • Gintama drops to 1 place above the bottom 5 - guess this arc isn't so popular...
  • Beelzebub drops into the bottom 5
  • Bleach drops like a fucking rock into 13th
  • Takamagahara is FUCKED!!!! Damn-near bottom rankings for the first 3 chapters is a death sign. And I really had high hopes for this series :'(
Other changes:
  • Naruto a non-mover at 3rd
  • Toriko up one place to 4th
  • PSI Kusuo Saiki also up one place to 5th
  • Kuroko no Basket up one place to 7th (am I seeing a trend here... ?)
  • Kochikame down to 14th


Wow, one of the worst ToCs I've seen in like, ever. Hopefully, it might improve. I now predict that it and Koisome Momiji will be next on the chopping block and, well, if I'm wrong, then I will... DO something embarassing - let me know in the comments what I should do and I'll post a video doing it or something. Sorry for the lateness, this is like 2 days late!

But on the plus-side, we've got 2 new series! Retsu!! Date-senpai started this issue. I haven't read it yet so I don't know what it's like. And Cross Manage starts next issue. But oh, wait, they're probably gonna run for like 12 chapters and get axed seeing as Japan hates new shit. Thanks for reading! ^.^

Bonjour, friends. Just some updates regarding my blog/s.

I'm deleting the Weekly Shonen Summaries blog because... Well... I just can't be fucked. I mean, I haven't made a new post in how long?

I'm also gonna be updating my Weekly Shonen Rantings blog more frequently. Rants and news to do with anime, manga, movies and other general shit.

Toodles!

Positives:


  • One Piece 1st again
  • Nisekoi is in the top 5 again
  • AC's 2nd chapter is 6th, so not bad
  • Gintama rises to 9th
Negatives:
  • Beelzebub drops to 11th
  • Reborn! is again 12th, but this time just above the bottom 5
  • Kurogane enters the bottom 5 at 13th, but it looks like it is safe to live another day...
  • Takamagahara's 1st chapter is 3rd from bottom. Wow. If it doesn't rise the next 2 chapters, it's pretty much fucked
  • Speaking of "fucked", Sensei no Bulge is penultimate and ends next week, and Pajama na Kanojo has ended. Hot dayum. What is it with new series getting killed off so quickly nowadays?
Other changes:
  • Haikyuu!! rises to 2nd
  • Toriko rises to 3rd
  • Sket Dance moves up to 4th
  • Naruto drops again to 7th! LOL
  • Kochikame rises to 10th
  • Koisome Momiji retains its 3rd-from-bottom position
An OK ToC this week, sad to see Pajama and Bulge going, funny to see Naruto 7th. Takamagahara, get the fuck up. Thanks for reading!! ^.^


We've also got a couple of new series starting over the next couple of weeks: Retsu!!! Date-Senpai and Cross Manage, which is apparently a sports romance with lacrosse. FOr those of you that don't know what lacrosse is, watch American Pie.

Hello...

Well, Pajama has been cancelled this week, and Bulge is being cancelled the next. But what really grinds my gears? TAKAMAGAHARA'S FIRST CHAPTER IS RANKED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BOTTOM 5???!!!?!?!!! Then again, Sket Dance's first chapter ranked damn near the bottom too.

Oh, and I have a funny picture for all of you patiently awaiting Naruto 599, but I can't upload it from my iPhone - some "Instatnt Upload" bullshit. If anybody could help me out with this, it will be much appreciated.

Look out for this weeks Weekly Jump Rankings coming today! ^.^

Center Colour: PSI Kusuo Saiki, Medaka Box, INPWEAR CODE (Golden Future Cup Oneshot, 47pg.)

Positives:
  • One Piece is in 1st!
  • Assassination Classroom's first chapter got 2nd place??!?!!! Woooot!
  • Nisekoi is in 3rd again - another top 5 finish
  • Bleach moves up to 7th
  • Gintama moves up our of the bottom 5*
  • Beelzebub moves up to 9th
Negatives:
  • Kurogane falls a little to 10th, but it should be guaranteed during the cancellation cycle
  • Reborn! continues to yo-yo around the ToC
  • Pajama na Kanojo is in penultimate...
  • ... and Sensei no Bulge is in last place
Other changes:

  • Naruto drops to 4th
  • PSI retains its 5th place rank
  • Sket Dance moves up to 6th
  • Haikyuu!! drops to 8th
  • Medaka Box moves up out of the bottom 5 to 13th
  • Kochikame drops into the bottom 5
  • Koisome Momiji also drops into the bottom 5
*Some awesome Gintama-related news I've missed since I've been away, which explains the lateness of this Blog post. First, they're airing new episodes and reruns of Gintama under the "Yorinuki Gintama-san" title on October 4th! In addition, there's a new PSP game coming from Namco-Bandai (LOL PSVITA) and... A 2nd Gintama movie is in the works! It'll be written by Hideaki Sorachi so it should be awesome. Here's hoping Sentai Filmworks will pick that up. And pictures from the announcement look like Joi-war Gintoki's in it, so maybe it'll be about his past ^.^

Takamagahara gets its first rank next week, hopefully it'll be as successful as Assassination Classroom's...

A pretty good ToC this week, nice to see AC get 2nd place, Nisekoi continues to piss its way up the table. Thanks for reading! ^.^

Update

Sorry for the lack of posting, I've been away camping, and also at Reading Festival!!!! By tomorrow everything should be up to speed :)

    Positives:
    • Nisekoi's continuing to do well in 4th!
    • Gintama's 5th, but should be higher
    Negatives:
    • Beelzebub's dropped to just above the bottom 5
    • Kurogane's in the bottom 5 again
    • As is Pajama no Kanojo
    • And Bleach is 2nd-last!
    I guess the biggest surprise this week is that Mago ended. I never really got into the series, and apparently its tankobon sales were pretty high.

    This week is also the first week Koisome Momiji is properly ranked.

    Oh, and there are 2 more new series starting in the coming weeks: Assassination Classroom and Takamagahara. Whether this means the cancellation of another series i.e. Magico remains to be seen...

    Overall, a shitty TOC this week. Hopefully next week's will be better. Thanks for reading! ^.^

    Positives:
    • Even though Nisekoi isn't ranked, I hear it's getting colour pages 2 weeks in a row due to its popularity. Good signs for this series
    • Haha, Kurogane is technically 5th seeing as there are 8 unranked series this week. Plus it's out of the bottom 5 which is good
    • Beelzebub's up to 6th
    Negatives:
    • One Piece hasn't been 1st for 3 weeks now...
    • Pajama na Kanojo looks to have tanked...
    • And Reborn!'s back in the bottom 5 -.-
    An OK ToC this week. Remember, 8 series haven't been ranked. Gintama was absent this week, and speaking of, the Gintama movie I imported arrived this morning! If you like Gintama and haven't already got the movie, I urge you to go buy it. It's a retelling of the Benizakura Arc, and Sentai Filmworks have given the movie an English dub too! If it sells well, they might consider continuing to release the series outside of Japan, or maybe even go back and them! Thanks for reading ^_^
