Oh, I missed the part where this Andrew Hussie serialized in Weekly Shounen Jump.
Can you elaborate which universe he did? Quote:
Hint: It doesn't. If you're not comparing, why are you talking about Bleach in this thread in the first place? Let me make it simple: For Medaka Box, polls mattered. For Bleach, polls did not matter. Not yet anyways, not until his sales sunk to below the threshold. (Like Nurarihyon did)

And you response to someone talking OT about other jump manga is to bring Sket Dance and Beezlebub into the discussion? Amazing, just amazing. I'm talking about Bleach because someone said it didn't get as many bottom 5s as Medaka even though during Fullbring it did, if you care to read the discussion it was only the latter half of quote talking about Kubo being a troll like Nisio, honestly have no idea why you're even being this obtuse unless you're butthurt i rubbished Kubo's trolling "ability", if so get over it, he's trash. |

When I make OT comparisons, I claim I'm making OT comparisons. You're claiming you're NOT making comparisons. I said, if you're NOT comparing Bleach with Medaka, why bring it up in the thread? Westlo, what the hell man? You drunk? And yes, I realize you're not the one who brought it up. My response was to the conversation in general.

But he is not in any danger of getting canned, not until the sales drop to half of current run. Shuueisha is not going to can a series that's making them millions dude. They will, however, tell him/her to do better. In comparison, Medaka in fact WAS constantly in danger of getting canned. Thanks to many other series performing in the suckage, it lucked out. Sorta like how Kurogane lucked out for so long despite having quite a bit of suckage. LOL. Keep in mind the sales drop is talking about going from a million seller to 800k seller. Not "never hitting above 200k to begin with". There's a huge difference between Bleach and Medaka.

I don't even like Bleach, (or Medaka Box for the matter) just speaking from realistically how Jump editorial handles things, and where those two manga lie as franchise value in their hands.
There's basically two separate requirements for manga running WSJ to meet, and survival of the title depends on filling one or the other. One affects the sales of the magazine, therefore its base shaping as well as ad revenue, while the other affects actual book sales revenue. While the bulk revenue is dependent on the latter, it cannot exist without the former.

Kind of makes sense when Mogana says I wish for him to grow to be as strong willed as you. Last I checked Kugamawa as a minus is not exactly strong willed. Someone might disagree espcially since I don't agree myself as Kumagawa is pretty stronged will but he is a minus.

Also, almost everyone knows that Kubo is more an artist than a writer, yet he trashed Nishio so hard in the weekly ranking, considering that Nishio was actually a writer which hailed by almost everyone as a genius writer. Yeah, Kubo troll, but at least he can balance the trolling element in his work. Nishio? This guy build-up his story and made it interesting, and guess what? He completely destroying it with his own hand just because he favors trolling for no good reason than writing a good story for his audience. Just look at his recent arcs, I facepalm so hard, For you, Kubo is trash, but in my eye, Nishio is worse than a trash. |

Overall thoughts:
It was an interesting series, certainly made me think a lot more(considering the many wall of text arguments that've happened on this forum). I'm exaggerating a bit, but it's definitely furthered my understanding in terms of analyzing the themes and drawing my own interpretations. From a pure enjoyment perspective I admit I was miffed at the constant genre shifting but now it's pretty much emblematic of the series. I think a lot of you guys got a bit sidetracked by your dislike for a character, and while I have characters I dislike, I think it's better to think in terms of overall story and archetypes. Now it's not invalid to criticize the execution, but I think there was lot of delving into just..."boring", which is a subjective which frankly I can't get behind. Certainly characters have not really reached their full potentials. And I admit that there've been a lot of chapters with just waiting...and anticipating with varying payoffs. But I think there are a few highlights which continue to stick out for me. |
