>\ I read about this in Shonen Jump this month. I'm not too pleased with it. =\ I expected they would run the serial in its original format... not create a new series of graphic novels. I mean, I know it's the same story and everything, but seeing that "1" there just irks me. It's not supposed to be that number and now it'll be all messed up. <_<;;

Plus, I won't get to read it in SJ, meaning I have to go out and buy more graphic novels now. =\ *sighs*

I don't buy the graphic novels if it appears in the magazine, though. I've got a subscription, so I've never really seen the point. o_O I mean, if I really like a series, sometimes I'll buy ahead in Japanese. I keep all my old issues, so I don't need the GNs. I'd rather just keep going through the series in chronological order via the magazine. XP

You know what this says? Viz is trying to do whatever they can to get people to buy graphic novels. And that's a load of **** right there. I pay $5 a month to get the original manga translated. Bad enough they've been renaming the techniques in Naruto and calling Mr. Satan as Hercule and Zoro as Zolo. :\

Wha... what'd they do the Shaman King? o_O; Do share. *pays absolutely no attention to stuff and barely knew things were changed (if they were)* x_X I didn't know they changed things for the GNs or anything...

Well, that racoon that just showed up, his big belly wasn't supposed to be a belly at all. Balls. Anna uses them later, whenever the racoon does anything to nasty she just "grips" them really hard to make the thing shut up. I'm actually glad that was omitted because it would have been odd. But the point is, way back in year one they showed a preview of the racoon, and even said in Japan racoons are known for having big ones. So that kinds freaks me out that even AFTER they said they weren't going to edit it, and AFTER they posted that little snipet in their early issues, they went ahead and did it. And they have let a statment out saying "We will be changin some minor details for your enjoyment later in coming issues".

So, that is more or less why I stoped buying SJ. I might only get back in it for the Memories arc next month. But aside form that, Shonen Jump really messed up. This was a magazine for 13-year-olds in America but a lot of these titels were aimed at 15 year olds and such in Japan. But thats enough of my ranitng...either way I'm done with Shaman King, after 31 volumes in Japan, Shounen Jump Weekly cut it just 4 chapters from its end.

O_O I thought that was weird! ><; I kinda figured that must have happened or something, since I couldn't really figure out why there would be just a normal racoon. o_O; And now that you mention it, in the 2-page spread introducing Shaman King to the magazine, the racoon was there in its normal form. Meh... x_x; That does sicken me, really. =\ Won't cancel my subscription or anything, but I'm really disappointed. x_X;

xD Notice how those manga are ones that don't appear in the magazine?

o_O So they'll have 3 different Yuugiou GNs? That's kind of stupid, if you ask me. x_X
