Angry Grimace
Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
Now its time to move onto an arc with more Erina in it

You're probably joking.
But that really needs to happen.

I went batshit insane when negima ended and I didn't truly recover from that meltdown till I learned of UQ Holder.
I can't even imagine how I will handle Gintama ending anytime soon.
And here I was hoping Gintama would go on for 10-20+years...
hopes crushed.

after the last arc I knew that the only way was to move forward with the main story
It would be impossible for them to live their normal lives in Edo after all of that

The only reason I don't like tournament arcs is because they inherently take goddamn forever.
The anime is going to be like 75% tournament.
that's true... I guess that means I get to see Oboro more often but man, I will miss the comedy gold now that there is no room for it.

I'm more of a believer that if we get the usual 12-13 episodes, then the anime will stop when the Training camp arc ends and Soma catches a ride with Erina.

looking at the full RAW
it does attempt to have some comedy in it but the whole scenario is just dark beyond belief so you just skim over it
*Spoiler doesn't particularly spoil anything but explains about the structure of this weeks chapter
I'll go with higher gravity on their home dimension!

This will probably be 2cour, wouldn't you think?
But if it is there wouldn't be a good place to end, really.

It really depends whether they go 1 or 2-cour, I suppose. The tournament is an entire one though.
A 2-cour would end at the next chapter I think since the arc ends there. A lot of the tournament can be condensed down, e.g. there were like 2 or 3 chapters on Erina's stalker, the Qipao girl etc. that don't have any reason to exist.

I just don't have enough confidence in JC Staff adapting 100+ chapters into 24-26 episodes well.
Rather they just play it safe and go 1-cour for the time being.
Less chances for them to screw things up.
I thought that as well, but she'd spend first few seconds jumping like crazy in the human world, and maybe not immediately pick up on the fact that she can throw boulders bigger than her head like a basketball.

I don't have confidence in that either, just saying these kind of things are usually multi-cour, especially when there is enough material to adapt.

I don't know why 100 chapters in 24 episodes would be hard. A LOT of the tournament arc is people standing around describing shit.

U.M.R-san is going to stand Sylphin up?! How dare she.
(Hopefully this goes somewhere unlike in that arc with Kirie.)

The Little Match Girl 1
My favourite one-shot given serialisation flesh. It stars an adorable, kind-hearted match seller who seeks to improve the lives of the disadvantaged with her magical wares, but whose efforts are ultimately thwarted by the insatiable monster known as the human mind. Some, all or none of the above may be true.
Unsurprisingly for something I'm partial to, there's karma and suffering to rival Screaming Lessons, and other similarities in its episodic nature and unsettling female overseer. The art in the opening pages gave me a mild heart attack, because I was terrified that the artist / her endearing style had somehow been compromised since the one-shot, but fortunately I was getting in a flap over a fantasy. I need more chapters, so I plan to sit here lighting matches while thinking about more releases for the next few hours.

Yea, I noticed that too. It was almost like a generic rom-com artstyle until MC fantasy ended.

It just boils down to me hoping the anime doesn't turn out to be awful.
Any chance that has JC with less opportunities to ruin one of Jump's best series is like a hope spot for me.
Mate, no.
That path leads to nirvana.

That's a forced character drama if I ever see one. A cheap shot, if you will, heh.

Can anyone enlighten me again on how a WSJ series get chosen for the cover page?
I know about special occasions like Anniversaries and Time skips but commonly how many times does the series need to be in the top spot to warrant a cover page for that weeks magazine issue?

How much of a boost do you guys think Shokugeki No Soma's manga will get from the anime?
My guess is it will reach to 500K or 600K for each Vol.

I always came to the conclusion on what series they want to push for. If it's on the rise then it gets a CP. What series has dropped some recently and may need a push? Is it getting an anime or close to one? Stuff like that.

this makes sense
so it is more of a strategic thing.... the rankings play a role but the overall circumstance of the series overall popularity and the events (such as movies, animes, long lasting good sales, etc...)which develop due to it, makes the editors choose to place it on the cover
1) Probably not a good idea to tell claude anything. It seems like Claude has at least some idea about Asha's plan for the future so if Claude knew that Leez wasn't afraid of death then she might try to kill her again maybe?
2) Unsure what talking about here
3) Probably because Leez is becoming closer to Kubera (the god). Or that there can't be 2 real Kuberas or something.
4) Because Yuta actually has feelings for Leez and it isn't just hunger/he has the potential to have feelings (probably the former).
5) Probably the power of a god. Maybe she got the 2nd tier powers because she agreed to kill off people with the name Kubera

Honestly so far I've felt we've been in the prologue so we don't have too much info.
Exactly, what better marketing is there for a manga series than to be on Shonen Jump.

Well that isn't quite true because there are other series such as Nanatsu no Taizai (Weekly Shonen Magazine) and Tokyo Ghoul (Young Jump) from other magazines that are marketed really well. Both these series are selling 700k per Vol. So it goes to show that Shonen Jump isn't the only place for great marketing for a series. Plus there are other series that I haven't mentioned.

It's just jump is so iconic it is kind of marketing in itself. I do agree that there are some mags that may be as good if not better at the moment it's just jump has a legacy.

Mhm.
She's definitely a keeper.
This. Not being on Jump doesn't mean it can't be marketed well/successful. Being on Jump is just easy exposure compared to other magazines for that demographic. Sort of like how a lot of people eat up the light novels in Dengeki Bunko compared to other publishers.
Edit: I wonder how many people ended up watching Garzey's Wing because of "From the creator of Gundam" on the top lol
