What is a widget series?

Its just a weird, very Japanese thing. Think Katamari Damacy.

Soma counts because its an over the top battle series about making food.

Found the spoiler info at ArlongPark.

Apparently he's taking two weeks off to rest at the hospital.
He needs to stop smoking. Seriously.

Maybe that would be weird in the West, but Japan is the country that gave us Yakitate Japan, Iron Chef, and Dotch Cooking Show. Japan is absolutely at home with over the top cooking competitions so I don't think that's any kind of obstacle towards an anime.

I'd say the primary reason we haven't seen one yet is because there's just not that much material to adapt.

 

[dakkumauji]

One Piece to become bi-weekly confirmed?
.

Now I'll remember even less between chapter and chapter.

Still, there's only so many widget series that can be run at once vs. shit like Attack of the Titans.

Soma is like 100% certain to get an anime, but yeah, it isn't even far enough into the plot to justify a full season. The other issue is that if its popular, they'll want to make another season and there won't be any material. I have no reason to believe it wouldn't be popular. Its hot-blooded and full of busty tsunderes.

Yeah, i say we wait two or three volume, then we might get Soma anime.
And the cooking session. I bet they're going to show the recipe and all that on live action like Yakitate Japan on some bread

I don't think Japan cares that much about mindshare like Hollywood is, no one is going "okay let's air our shit during one of the slow seasons".

I could be wrong, but I never encountered something like this in all my years of anime watching. It's rather frustrating, actually, because some seasons are great and you don't have enough time in the day to watch everything and some are just absolute trash/backlog seasons.

Soma is like 100% certain to get an anime, but yeah, it isn't even far enough into the plot to justify a full season.

Didn't stop them from adapting Nisekoi!

 

[Angry Grimace]

Some insane maniac made this helpful chart of Nisekoi chapters split by haremite and plot relevance:

Didn't stop them from adapting Nisekoi!

Nisekoi's adaptation went up to Chapter 50. So they still have 50 more chapters of crap to adapt for Season 2.

so skip all the yellow, ok

 

[Mortemis]

The way I think about it is, series with mangas early on are more of an advertisement for the manga and the animation studio are likely to not give a shit, but series that wait longer are more likely to have faithful adaptations of the manga instead of a quick 1 cour shitfest. I have no evidence to back this up though, so feel free to ignore this until I look stuff up after I get home from school.

Also wtf, is my dream of reading HxH and OP on the same day every week just that, a dream? I hope OP doesn't go bi-weekly. I dont want this to finish in 10-20 years.

 

[Kurita]

The vast majority of adaptations are just marketing tools anyway.

It wasn't going end in less than 10 anyways unless Oda dies, in which case you can look forward to the Brandon Sanderson penned ending.

 

[bigkrev]

so skip all the yellow, ok

Also, skip everything but the turquoise

 

[Nordicus]

Wow, that ratio of unskippable to skippable drops like a rock after chapter 51.

Mah schaudenfreude can't take it

 

[PhillipCostigan]

so skip all the yellow, ok

if you only want all the shit girls, sure i guess

#yellowbestgirl

 

[Haly]

#teamgreen

 

[Angry Grimace]

#teamgreen

best team

green > yellow > turquoise > other useless ugly colors

 

[dakkumauji]

Also, skip everything but the turquoise

green and orange are acceptable

Wow, that ratio of unskippable to skippable drops like a rock after chapter 51.

Mah schaudenfreude can't take it

I see it that it becomes readable after chapter 51

 

[scy]

...

I'd read it.

 

[Soma]

Wow, that ratio of unskippable to skippable drops like a rock after chapter 51.

Which is coincidentally about where I dropped the manga.

Time to catch up on the turquoise chapters thanks to this chart!

 

[upandaway]

Wow, that ratio of unskippable to skippable drops like a rock after chapter 51.

The fact it's not true probably has something to do with that. How the hell is Paula's introduction skippable?

 

[Haly]

...

I'd read it.

Nakamaspren.
Hakispren.

 

[bigkrev]

The fact it's not true probably has something to do with that. How the hell is Paula's introduction skippable?

She is as likely to win as I am of growing wings and learning to fly

 

[Angry Grimace]

Are you surprised that both Onoderas are shit colored?

Some insane maniac made this helpful chart of Nisekoi chapters split by haremite and plot relevance:

So have you already switched to dere mode for Nisekoi?

Shinshuki no Iron Maiden 1-33

Eh, not really feeling this one, can't really put my finger on why.

.

I dont know if thats really a correlation, things like baby steps with tons of chapters still only gets a 2 cour anime with original story by pierrot, or something like zetman gets only 13 episodes even though it had >200 chps, Code Breaker too with its 12 episodes even though >150chps, coppelion is another example.

 

[TalonJH]

So, any news of High School of The Dead coming back...again?

 

[upandaway]

Wait whoops it wasn't the introduction, but still it was the chapter that basically added her to the cast (more of an introduction that the previous introduction). I just checked it, no way that's skippable. It would make any further appearance of Paula a complete confusion.

None of the chart is to be trusted

She is as likely to win as I am of growing wings and learning to fly

But she's the best character

 

[Angry Grimace]

Shinshuki no Iron Maiden 1-33

Eh, not really feeling this one, can't really put my finger on why.

I don't hate Nisekoi at all, so long as I understand it isn't really designed to be plot driven. Not to mention they've started lampshading how ridiculous it is that Raku is basically a Gary Stu now.

 

[scy]

Nakamaspren.
Hakispren.

all according to keikaku

 

[upandaway]

Grimace already went through the Nisekoi enlightenment like 2 OTs ago.

 

[Haly]

all according to keikaku

Keikakuspren.

That would've been a huge tipoff, actually, if L and Kira were just sitting around chilling and L scopes out all that keikakuspren floating around Kira's head.

 

[kasane]

So, any news of High School of The Dead coming back...again?

Asked this a while back

Answer is no

 

[Angry Grimace]

Grimace already went through the Nisekoi enlightenment like 2 OTs ago.

I-It's not like I l-like Nisekoi or anything. I just read it for the plot! Really!

*blush*

 

[scy]

Yeah, last week was a good week.

Keikakuspren.

That would've been a huge tipoff, actually, if L and Kira were just sitting around chilling and L scopes out all that keikakuspren floating around Kira's head.

And it would somehow not actually do anything at all still.

 

[Mortemis]

I'm honestly hoping it speeds up and finishes before 10 years though. But I guess 30 years of serialization isn't an overstretch but a actually inevitable.

I dont know if thats really a correlation, things like baby steps with tons of chapters still only gets a 2 cour anime with original story by pierrot, or something like zetman gets only 13 episodes even though it had >200 chps, Code Breaker too with its 12 episodes even though >150chps, coppelion is another example.

Yeah its just something I thought up without really looking into it, I just guess it has more to do with jump choosing the best offer from an animation studio and less about how long its been out. Hopefully jump chooses well for Soma.

 

[upandaway]

That's the second Grimace enlightenment I can remember. First one was Tadokoro, although that one was more gradual. Nisekoi came out of nowhere.

 

[Stulaw]

Some insane maniac made this helpful chart of Nisekoi chapters split by haremite and plot relevance:

Wow Haru appeared like just over a year ago? Damn, time flies.

 

[Haly]

*blush*

 

[upandaway]

GRIMACE PLEASE

PLEASE

I'LL DO ANYTHING

JUST 1 DAY THAT'S ALL I'M ASKING

 

[dakkumauji]

Yeah its just something I thought up without really looking into it, I just guess it has more to do with jump choosing the best offer from an animation studio and less about how long its been out. Hopefully jump chooses well for Soma.

Hopefully they won't choose the cheapest offer otherwise it would get Toei'd

 

[Mortemis]

Some insane maniac made this helpful chart of Nisekoi chapters split by haremite and plot relevance

Wow, only about five Onodera chapters are non-skippable. But it makes sense, most chapters with "plot" are focused on Chitoge ( or at least they used to). Now that we mostly get skippable chapters we have a bunch of more Onodera and harem chapters.

And we haven't gotten an important Chitoge chapter since the birthday arc? Wow to that too.

Hopefully they won't choose the cheapest offer otherwise it would get Toei'd

Toei and studio Pierriot need to stay the fuck away.

 

[astrogamer]

Hayate 451
Hayate inspires the dead. The pirates really protected their treasure

 

[kasane]

Guys onodera is trash girl and she aint winning

 

[dakkumauji]

And we haven't gotten an important Chitoge chapter since the birthday arc? Wow to that too.

They know she's not important anymore to provide focus to.

 

[astrogamer]

Guys onodera is trash girl and she aint winning

but if she was the worst girl, she would be winning.

 

[Mortemis]

They know she's not important anymore to provide focus to.

If we just look at the last 50 or so chapters, by that logic Haru is the most important character.

Haru to win confirmed?!
