I think
is what she's trying to say.Huh, so Viz slipped a "bastard" into One Piece again.
Anyway, so Ultimo. It's pretty much Dark Helmet's "Evil will always triumph because Good is dumb." comment as a manga. I actually laughed when I came across that line about Incompetence since the Good Doji Club is one of the most incompetent bunch of would-be heroes I've ever seen and probably the most incompetent if you exclude heroes that are incompetent for comedic purposes.
Anyone know when the January 2011/Issue 97 is coming out? Usually its out in my local bookstore on the 1st of the month but its not there yet, any one else have it yet?
it comes out on the first Tuesday of the month which unfortunately is next Tuesday, I got mine a couple of weeks ago by mail.

Ohhh….first Tuesday, thanks for the info.
I already got mine earlier this week. It's also nice to see THOSE chapters finally get an official English release.
O-chan
Anyone else not get their January issue yet? =/
I never got my December issue in the mail…and now not getting my January issue either. Resubscirbed and confirmed that Viz got the check and cashed it....so what the heck?

I don't know, complain? Once got two different Nintendo Power issues on the same day back when I first suscribed to it. One of them was damaged too, I think, it happened years ago.
Anyways, got my January issue today. Haven't read it yet, but I like the changes. And Bleach is still in, if anyone is still unsure about that. Also, if no one has noticed/mentioned, it looks like they're doing that "Each issue had a picture on the spine that connects to make a bigger picture" thing. It's a Naruto one.

Drats, I am betting it is the 2009 Jump spine.

Nope, doesn't look like it. I's got Zabuza, Jiraya's Hair (Pretty sure, it's the main connecting part to the next one), and Sai from top to bottom. just character art looking out.
I like the new jump I guess, at least it is bigger. but it looks cheaper. Some pages were messed up. One of the bleach pages was bent over like a poster would be but wasn't one and cannot even be opened, it just looks like they messed up on the printing. But that's ok since I dont read Bleach.

I never got mine yet..and i dont know if my sub ran out or not:sad:
Great, and here I thought that Naruto couldn't take up anymore of Shonen Jump.
So has their online serialzation of Bakuman or an other series started yet?
Okay, I got my issue in the mail.
not sure about online…gotta wait till next month because I already shredded the sticker from the front w/ all the subscriber info.
Also, don't know if it has been mentioned, but there are actually 2 chapters of Psyren.
Not sure if they'll be going with 2 chapters every month...but if they do, chapter 1 was like 60+ pages...length of like 3 normal chapters.
If the magazine does in fact stay the same length, they'd have room for 3 chapters of Psyren every month and a fourth chapter of One Piece...and still be down 20 pages.
Maybe not next month...next month they're running a 1 chapter preview of that one they're serializing online with Bakuman and Toriko....Nora Rise of the Yokai Clan or something. Idk much about it, never read it. Bakuman and Toriko are great though.
I actually liked the first two chapter of Psyren. Seems pretty interesting. I don't think I'm going to read online...it'll be kind of cool to read something for the first time in SJ magazine again.
For what it's worth, I liked GX better than 5D's...XD so that really doesn't say much for 5D's. I mean, I just can't get past the ridiculousness of playing card games on motorcycles. I actually liked the original YGO manga for what it was...so idk, just don't like the product placement spin-offs. I mean, not a huge fan of the original, but it was decent enough.
I don't know how everyone else feels, but I'd be willing to pay $40 to $45 a year vs. $30 a year if they included a little more in the magazine...like I think it would be cool to have something like the following:
3 chapters of Bleach (stays the same)
1 chapter of Ultimo (don't really want this but whatever)
4 chapters of Naruto
4 chapters of One Piece
3 chapters of Psyren
3 chapters of Bakuman
3 chapters of Toriko
1 chapter of Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's (same as Ultimo)
Since there's 9 chapters of Bakuman per volume, it would still mean 4 volumes of Bakuman per year. Magazine would have to be a bit heftier...like 500 pages. It would be more like WSJ in japan in that case! Well, this is quite unrealistic, I just think it would be cool since it's monthly and I know I'd be willing to pay a little bit more. Wouldn't expect it for the same price. As for Toriko, well I don't really read it. I'm interested enough to read it if it's in the magazine...but not really enough to commit to buying volumes. I mean, I can always read online, but I still prefer reading things in print....having a tangible book to flip through the pages. I guess that's why I'm always so anxious to see OP chapters in print for the first time! Ahh, so much cooler haha. I may import some of the new tankoban for that reason..and def. the color walks I think.
Anyway...any idea how long Ultimo is supposed to last? I mean, hopefully it won't be nearly as long as Shaman King will it? Any signs of stopping in Japan?

Don't really read it but monthly series tend to last a lot since.. Well, they are monthly LOL, I don't see it ending before 2012.
Hey Vongola, if you think you know what's best for Viz, why don't you e-mail them?
I've done it, they've responded. Stop projecting your essays here and show them to Viz. If they reject your ideas, then stop complaining.
=O I'm not complaining! Maybe that I don't like YGO! 5D's, but I wouldn't suggest they take it out…I mean it makes them money. I was saying I liked Psyren and already like Bakuman...and find Toriko kinda interesting. I was saying I think it wouldn't be terrible to possibly increase the number of series and increase the price...it wasn't a complaint. I was kind of wondering what other people might think about paying like another $15 - 20 per year or so to have Toriko and Bakuman (3 chapters each) also run in the magazine.
Grabbed a copy of SJ today to see how they portrayed
! Ace's Death . For English only readers, the way they translated Ace's comment about Sabo kinda gives it away… Other than that, the translation was fine.
is zoro stil zolo?
Is Robin male or female?
It's actually Tloy.
Is Robin male or female?
well the boobs tell one story and that greased back gangsta hair tells another
Zoro's that green haired guy…you know that one who raises animals or something. Like what I want to know is what a Ne Pec is. Been waiting to find out foreeeeeever.
after i bought a issue for to read..got my Sub copy today XD
Who the hell is Zoro?
You are joking… right?
No, they changed his name to Troy. They said it fit better.

The new site is here, with 2 new manga series. All the first chapters are free, pretty nice looking site.
Just got the new Jump issue, and wow, I forgot how emotional and sad Ace's death was….Psyren looks interesting I guess, although the whole "Psyren" society and the telephone calls were very Matrix-like. And this issue made me remember how boring Bleach chapters are, and Naruto was....Naruto. Also I thought it was kinda weird that Yugioh 5D's got the cover and most of the hype leading into this issue yet, it only got 1 chapter at the very end....
Aw, they don't have those online preview chapters anymore (at least, not without signing up). I wanted to read 573.
I got the magazine and the changes they made aren't that big of a deal. They just changed the format and the designs.
I lol'd at Viz actually questioning whether or not Ace is dead. They should know Oda by now.

Wait…they questioned it? when?

Ring my Bellamy?
Ace in the Hole?
Baby Got Hogback?
Seriously? I thought they were better than this. Guess not.
They weren't really questioning it…I'm sure they know what happens next. They just put that as the tagline / cliffhanger for next months issue "Is Ace really dead?" or something like that...but then again they can't say "NEXT ISSUE: GUESS WHAT?! WHITEBEARD DIES TOO!!!"

For some reason the marketing and broadcasting world hasn't realized it yet.

Thank you Jon Stewart. I've always hated those.
Why is it One Piece gets the puns but the other series don't?

It's 'cause VIZ believes One Piece is a comedy series.
