Checked out the new issue of SJ at Borders today. I'm quite pleased with most of the translations, particularly for the four priests (or vassals I guess) since all their names have stayed the same. Satori, Ohm, Gedatsu, and Shura. Awesome.
New official Viz media topic V2.

-
Damn, straight to Impel Down next time, huh. Sweet deal =D
-
Some preview stuff from Jump's Jan issue
Get down with Impel Down!
Impel Down Is Finally Here!
The new story arc is action-packed and full of crazy characters and better-than-ever One Piece wackiness. And we've got a TON of other One Piece stuff going on, including a whole page to focus on all the graphic novels coming out!And this will have the final chapters of BOTH YYH and YGO GX. It mentioned the YYH finale in the December issue but it did not mention GX.
-
For anyone wanting larger pictures of Volume 24-28's cover, they are now up on Rightstuf.
-
Yanno, I just remembered something. Since there is always someone asking where they can buy these SJ off the shelves. I dunno why it took this long to remember.
Somewhere I almost ALWAYS have been seeing them are game shops.

Viz is conducting a survey asking readers what type of stuff they'd like to see in the magazine and website. One of the questions asks if you like to see a One Piece Posterzine.

That question was so easy.

Since it tells you to pick three of the list and also gives the option of supplying your own answer for one of them, this might be a good time for people to take this survey and suggest the Data Books or Color Walks.
-
Did.
And suggested the pop up book because that thing is just fucking awesome.
I think I used all those others to just suggest One Piece merch.
-
Wait a minute GX is done? Sweet! I hope there will be no more yugioh in the mag for a while! And please share more info what's the dish on the news in the magazine. How many chapters of One Piece and Naruto please?
-
if i subscribe now..would i get the December or the January issue?
-
You might get January, but if you wait, you'd probably get February.
While I ordered in September, apparently, it was too late in the month to get December. So I'll probably go find it at Borders or some game store.

You probably will get the Febuary issue..if you are lucky. I am serious I subscribed in Febuary and the first issue I got was the may one.

No, I ended up e-mailing them about the December issue, and they told me that I would get January.
If not, I'll shove the e-mail back under their noses and demand it.

For all it's flaws, I will say that the GX manga is a lot less annoying than the anime ever was. Anyway, the only other option at this point would be R and I think that they're releasing it in volume form rather than in the magazine. So the next issue will be Viz's first issue of Shonen Jump without any Yu-Gi-Oh at all; same for Yu Yu Hakusho, which is only the second series to complete its entire run serialized in ASJ.
-
Is GX over or did they just take it out of the magazine?
What are they doing until the May issue then? I know Toriko starts in February, replacing Yu Yu Hakusho….but Bakuman doesn't start until May.
So are they doing 5 chapters a month of One Piece? I mean I'd immagine they'd do at least 4 to stay current and not fall behind again.
-

They told me, when I e-mailed them, that I could get the August issue in their online store, and I have yet to find any issues of the magazine in their online store.
So don't be overly hopeful.
-
@Vongola_Boss_XI:
Actually the B&N card costs money and only gets you a 10% discount.
If you have a relative who is a teacher or works in education, they get a 20% discount on books at B&N…they have to be with you when you buy the books though...but I've been getting the discount for 7 years now =D
So manga have been $6.40 for me and are just now jumping to $8.00.
My mom works at a high school as well. The library, in fact. I could have sworn that the discount was only for books that the school was going to use, not just for any book you want.
-
I think the only specification is that it has to be a book and not a magazine, food, music, etc.
-

yeah, because these are the exact same things

Doesn't 5Ds have a manga now? :ninja:
-
Yeah, but last I checked it only has one chapter out
-
OFF TOPIC: Since everyone is talking about libraries, how do they get their manga in hardback? I will kill to have my collection like that.
-
I know my library only has paperback manga in their comic section. Don't know about others though.
-
Hmm I've been thinking about the translation "Okama", (crossdresser). Viz translated it as "Oh come my way", even stating that that's what it said on Mr. 2's jacket. So I'm guessing that despite not meaning the same thing, "oh come my way" is an accurate translation because it's a pun on "okama"? Is this correct? Please enlighten me on this issue.
-
Only Okama Way became Oh Come My Way. Viz used swan for every other use of okama, and will probably continue to so with Impel Down.
Oh Come My Way was sung in Mr. 2's image song, so it's sort of like a tip of the hat towards us.

Ahh I see now. Thanks for that.
But I wonder why they switched "crossdresser" for "swan"…eh, no biggie. -
Haha you know what kinda sucks? I've been buying manga for about 7 years now…I've been in school so I haven't had a job, just bought them with money I got for my birthday or what I made working a little bit in the summers....but all this time, the one important series, One Piece has been neglected...had the money to buy the volumes they just weren't out. Now the speed-up I've been waiting for is about to hit...and I only have $27 left total and no way I can work with my schedule next semester. lol kind of ironic isn't it? The One Piece volumes we've all been waiting years for....and I can't afford them. Oh well, guess that's life lol...and I can't complain =P
So Viz, I WOULD buy all those One Piece volumes....but it doesn't seem I'll be able to get any of them for a decent amount of time XD
-
Viz knows we'll buy them all eventually. Though when the volumes do come out and they don't exactly fly off the shelves I'm sure there's going to be people pointing and laughing at them.
-
I wonder if Viz will ever release the Wanted Tank, that would be great
-
A subscriber over at the Funi forums got the Jan. issue and it contains 4 chapters starting with 525. Which means they just jumped right into the conversation between Ace and Garp.
-
4 chapters a month would be great and make for a nice volume release schedule.
-
So that's pretty much where the anime is right now, 'cept they actually got to Jimbei's introduction, finally. I wonder how many English-only readers still remember Yosaku's mention of him from Vol. 8… Well, four chapters a month sounds like a good schedule, I hope they keep it consistent like that.
-
The English-only readers were better off though as they went from the first reference to Jinbei to actually seeing him in about four years whereas the Japanese readers went about eleven years between the two.
-
Woot! Got the issue today.
4 Chapters starting at 525
There still a catch up telling about Luffy's time at Amazon Lily and the where about of the crew get a whole page. Hancock get's an edit in her character profile (the put a shirt so (more like a line) so she not showing anything.
Chopper is on Birdie Island
Sanji is on Peachy Island
Ussop is on Bowin Island
Brook is on Lazy Bone Island
Franky is on Mechanical Island
Zoro is on Gloom Island
They switch from Hannibal to Hannybal
One Piece gets a whole Page for the manga preview (24-28) with color spreads scatter around the magazine.
Some how Viz managed to make it both dark and light at the same time. -

-
Hannyabal isn't a change, that's the real spelling.
As long as Hancock is unedited in the volumes that's alright in the magazine…
-
I like how they say Sanji is on the island of masculine maidens. Its a great oxymoron.
-
@Vongola_Boss_XI:

I think he's saying throughout where he's mentioned the spelling switches between the two, like they can't make up their mind.
-
Who was on the cover this time?
-
Yeah there is an "i" that was misplaced in one mention of his name.
Luffy is on the cover, but it mainly his face and a fist. -
what is "bowin" island. and are nami and robin's mentioned? and for the hancock, does it say hebi-hime?
-
edit: Just saw it somewhere else. It's this one from I'm assuming 2005.
http://www.rolonoazoro.com/gallery/view_photo.php?set_albumName=04-Jump-Covers&id=18_G
-
Knowing Viz, it's probably this.
Or another one I'm thinking of. I can't find the image, but it was an early image as well with him holding his fist up and he had a grin on his face, plus he wasn't wearing his hat if I remember correctly…
-

Yep that the one. "Bowin" island is the Viz name they gave to Ussop's bug island. Bowin is a type of beetle or something.
-
I have no idea where the origin of "Bowin" comes from. I tried Googling "Bowin" and "beetle" but couldn't find any correlation between the two words.
-

'Boin'/'Booin' not 'Bowin' - ボーイン is read as 'booin' (-wi doesn't exist in Japanese writing)
I'm almost positive this is some sort of underlying joke on Oda's part as 'boin' is slang for breasts (and lo and behold - Usopp has man boobies!), so I figure Viz is just turning a blind eye to that. :whistling: So technically Usopp is on "Boo[o]by Island"
-
"Bowin" is how Viz spelled it in Jump. Although your point is very interesting.
-
Bowin is what was used in FUNi's simulcast, so Viz is probably stuck with using whatever terms FUNi is stuck with. In that case I would assume that Magellan's Devil Fruit is called the Venom Venom Fruit as opposed to the Poison Poison Fruit.
Bowin is a type of car though.

I actually love that more than an island full of Okama-tards. :wub:
