I found the episodes online elsewhere, added a mere 22 hours ago.
BLESS THE INTERNET.

"A jackass has been spotted"

Did the change bug me? Kind of. However, I have to stop and think, why the hell would they promote something that is not happening in any of the regions they cover? It doesn't matter if it's cool to see/know about, or if somebody is planning to visit Japan at some point. The fact is, there's no point in advertising something that isn't in your coverage regions.

@Skull:

Sorry if this has been answered, but what did Funimation do about the Toriko crossover episodes? Are they skipping them on the DVDs? Did they change the episode numbering to look like there are no skipped episodes? Also are they including the Enies Lobby "jump into the falls" episodes where it goes over everyone's backstories again while they jump to the rocket man?

For the Toriko DVDs they skipped them and changed the numbering.

@shadyagent:

I'm not entirely sure that viz fixed all "erros". In chapter 731 (the last one in the volume) for example, in the magazine version Acilias says: "You better reach the finals" and Rebecca replies "I know" which sounds smoother to me than "I'm goona make sure you reach the finals" on which Rebecca replies strangely enought with "I know" as well!

The magazine and the volume translation are going to be a little different. It's not exactly the same. This could be something that was changed for the volume and not an error. Maybe stephen can confirm if this line was changed for the volume or not.

Volume 73 has been updated on iBooks. I'd imagine it has also been updated on other digital platforms.

It would've been better if they started doing a different flag with Foxy. I'm liking this change by having the corresponding flag with the featured character. I hope they continue this trend.

@Greg:

Hello. I'm gathering opinions on Viz's Weekly Shonen JUMP to convey to Shueisha.

If you have any opinions regarding (but not limited to):

General quality of publication
Number of series published
Quality of translation
Ease of readability

And of course, if you have any suggestions to improve the magazine, I'll pass them along as well.

Thank you for your time!

I think the quality is great. Good extra features like interviews, editor columns, one-shots. However, I came to notice that VIZ volumes have a noticeably better resolution on iBooks than on the VIZ manga app. Since ESJ isn't available on iBooks, the quality is of course not as good as volumes on iBooks. An upgrade in the resolution would be much appreciated. I would love to have another bonus other than Yu-Gi-Oh cards. Not all of us play the game, and sometimes it's hard to sell the cards.

Having more series is always a plus. Assassination Classroom is the number one series in my list that I want to join ESJ. It might be a better choice to cease the magazine style and just go with a Crunchyroll style route. That way, I'd imagine we would have more series from other Jump magazines like Real, Terraformars from Young Jump. Heck, maybe go as far as to say getting sequels of classic series from Grand Jump like Captain Tsubasa Rising Sun and Hell Teacher Nube Neo, but I'd imagine that will always be just a dream.

To me the quality of the translation is the best out there if I overlook some of the terms used in One Piece for consistency. Some more footnotes for explanations would be helpful in certain cases.

I've been beating the region block system using iTunes since the magazine began in 2012. I would definitely love to access it normally in my region. We don't have any manga distributing companies in the Middle East, so I don't see much of a problem in expanding to the region other than the worries that people won't subscribe. I know there is a huge anime and manga fan base here. A lot of people use illegal means, but there are many that import anime and manga from the U.S., so I know those would support it if given the option. Crunchyroll is available to us, so why not ESJ?

It's easy to access, easy to read. No problems there.

@RomanceDawn:

That's a steal and I don't even need it.

Hey does anyone know if Volume 0 was ever released in physical form?

Not all of the volume, but chapter 0 is a bonus with box set 2. There's also a short One Piece quiz included.

Kuma sounds good to me. Whitebeard's voice is still my least favorite.
