Colorspread is on the cheap paper.
They have a half-page article on the original music. "We Are!" is called "We're!" (Anti-dubbers, start your engines…)
This month's anime guide features shots left out of 4Kids' edits: Nami's farewell run and the meeting with Fullbody. (Way to confuse the subless, Viz.)
PS 2's Grand Battle shares page space with the anime preview, but no actual news.
The last ad page is a pretty nifty, very simple Grand Battle ad.
Sorry I don't have a scanner, guys.
Yeah, they were just like "The game looks gud!"
I really liked the color, even if it was on cheap paper.
Wait a minute, are there any name change or changes in the manga?

Nothing is off name-wise. Gosa is still Gosa, did we talk about Cocoyashi becoming Coco? Kid from Gosa is Chabo. Nojiko is still Nojiko. Gen(zo) is still Gen(zo).
They do finally show Sanji for the game and it looks like they just edited out his cigarette completely for it.
Uh, I don't even think he had a cigarette ingame. Unless it was from an FMV or something.
I wonder if mine's August issue… but... it did have color spread, so I assume the same.
I liked the fact they put a side note for Manji so that people won't mistake it with Nachis mark.
I can scan some part of it if anybody is interested.
Yeah, paper quality... I was disappointed with that. Or rather, surprised about it for having so thing paper.

You mean Nazis. We don't pronounce it how it is in Japanese.
I know, I was lazy to look it up cause I was at work :P

I wouldn't mind seeing the side note about the Manji.
"Unlike the infamous swastika of Nazi Germany, the Bubbhist manji is depicted as a square (rather than diamond-shape), and can point either clockwise or counter-clockwise. An ancient symbol, the manji can bee seen on teh chest, palm and feet of Buddha, representing good luck. You'll also see it on the belly of the fishy bad-boy below."
I remember the bullshit backlash when Viz didn't make note of the manji on someone in Yu Yu Hakusho.

Coco village.
Y'now, whatch Smoker become Chaser WITH cigars.
Because according to Viz, dubbies heads explode when they read a name that isn't the same as the one on TV.

Personaly I hope Smoker doesn't become Chaser. I'm hoping they wouldn't bother with any more name changes. Out of all of the Viz changes I hate name changes the most. I can stomach the rest.
Viz has quite a wierd habit with names ands such, The 4kids dub of Shaman king uses the original Furyoku…but the viz manga changes it to mana...talk about bizarre.
I know, yet they use the original Over Soul instead of the dub term Spirit Control.
But like I said before, as long as the vast majority of original names and original terms are used then I will be happy with the Viz manga.
Viz does not disappoint me much, they olny changed 5% of names but they kept many orginal names
Color spread (ocean = lazy to joint):
This is kinda cool:

Dosen't White Mustache's insignia actually have a swaztica?
I think it does. That would explain why they changed the insignia in the anime.
I think it was a Manji was as well.
I just noticed that song title. I wonder why the used "we're"…...
It was either a typo or they were trying to do pirate speak… <_<

o shi ! They left Robin on the cover of that CD. :lol:
It wasn't a typo, and I'm not so sure about pirate speak….
Yeah, they left Robin on. I noticed it, but then figured people aren't even going to pay enough attention, and by the time SJ and/or 4Kids even get that far, many would've forgotten about the whole thing anyway.

Of course, technically a manji is a swastika ("manji" is Japanese, "swastika" is Sanskrit). The Nazis co-opted the symbol and its name to represent the exact opposite of its true meaning, though its original intent can still be seen through the etymology:
Sw (su) - asti - ka
The whole thing together means something along the lines of "little goodness," or "good luck charm." Of course, the Swastika is now tainted by the Nazis, and not supposed to be used (though Hindus and Buddhists don't really care, considering it was theirs to begin with).
So anyways… people are just too uptight. But yeah, using an explanatory side-note (instead of erasing the symbol) is a good idea, even if they have to fudge the details slightly so nobody throws a shit-fit. :)

We are = We're
Its like…the same word.
I'm wondering about a scene in Hikaru No Go. When that guy jumps in with the "lit firework", my first thought was that it was originally a cigarette that was edited to look like a firecracker. And my suspicions were intensified by the prinicipal walking by asking about a gum-chewing guy, when I remember that he was smoking cigarettes before, and read later on that it was changed to gum in the manga books.
Are my suspicions correct?

I knew that looked fishy… good call. Yeah, it's a "firecracker" now.
I just read the Augest issue today and I got a few things to say.
I'm glad Viz did not have Arlong say Pewmans, they left his personal trait the way Oda puts him to be. They have the fishman adresses Arlong as "Lord Arlong". I wish Viz does 9 chapters a month. They kept many orginal material in this chapter.
9 chapters?! Thats like an entire volume!
Why would they edit out nico robin on the CD cover? Looking back on previous issues (namely the april 2003 i think) They showed alot of one piece stuff including gashapon of zoro that even had "zoro" written right on em.

Yeah, that would be the fastest thing for Viz to do. Think about it, for example. If Viz realse 9 chapters a months
Chapter 72+9=81
So if you go 9 every months like 12 months
9x12=108 a year! So chapter 72+108=181 chapter meaning if Viz do that, they will be able to reach volume 20 by years end! Will that be cool?
Currently writing a book
did shonen jump come out with a CD? because i havent read it yet :( i have to go to a town 30 min.s away so i can get it, and my parents said not until a week.
so did it come with a CD?
oh and 72 + 9 equals 81, unless you did that on purpose.

[snapback]85692[/snapback]**Yhea but….
why don't you just suggest they go Graphic novel only release....
[snapback]85704[/snapback]Well Viz could make Jump Weekly since I think they could pull it off._
They listed "Ano Basho e" by Appare. They got the artist's name wrong, it's Harebare.
