I believe that many people know about the magazine called "Weekly Shonen SUNDAY" through works such as "Detective Conan", "Inuyasha", and "The World Only God Knows", but in recent years, the sales of the publication have been declining, so the official announced recently: will be brewing a heavy reform.

This time it is an announcement jointly issued by the editor-in-chief of the magazine, Takeshi Ichihara, and all relevant personnel, so let's take a look at what the full text is!

To the readers

Thank you for your continued support of "Shonen SUNDAY". This time, after a lapse of seven years, I have returned to my hometown of "Weekly Shonen Sunday", and I would like to greet you and report to you on the general policy of "Shonen Sunday" in the future.

Weekly Shonen Sunday will continue to be committed to cultivating pure new writers. If an editorial staff member violates such a principle, then we will blast him out of the editorial office of "Young SUNDAY" without mercy. The so-called "rookie writers" refer to those brave people who believe in their talents in their only once life, and challenge with their bare hands in the face of the "vast ocean" of comics, which is not the right answer. And the comic editors who accompany them also need to have a strong sense of responsibility and awareness. If it's an editor who I don't think is up to the task, then we in the SUN team won't need him in the future. And I firmly believe that after the reorganization in July this year, all the members of the editorial board of Shinsei "Shonen Sunday" gathered around me are people with this kind of awareness.

On the other hand, I think that the ideal "Shonen Sunday" is not just supported by new writers. The strength of the backbone and top writers who have supported the history of "Shonen Sunday" is also indispensable. Only by striking the perfect balance between tradition and innovation can the magazine's "miscellaneous" show its charm. That's what I'm sure of.

After this fall, both "Shonen SUNDAY" and SUNDAY's super-supplement issue will begin to be reformed. Many serialized works will be removed from the magazine layout, and talented newcomers and young writers will be serialized in turn. Half a year later, we will continue to increase the pace of reform. Ladies and gentlemen, please be an eyewitness to the reconstruction of "Shonen SUNDAY".

As the centerpiece of this reform initiative, I will personally be in charge of all the decisions related to the "manga" of "Shonen SUNDAY", from the preliminary selection of the Newcomer Award and the debut short story of the newcomer to the new serialization project of the top author. My sense of arbitrariness, prejudice, and aesthetics is a qiē. Of course, this also means that I will be responsible for the fate of "Shonen SUNDAY" in the future, and I have made a realization.

I've been a very pure "Shonen SUNDAY" kid since I was a teenager. I've never been a JUMP kid or a magazine kid. When I was in elementary, middle, and high school, I was always supported by Weekly Shonen Sunday. Now, I have to gamble on my life as a comic editor to repay the favor of "Shonen SUNDAY". At the same time, I would like to repay the many great manga artists who have supported the history of "Shonen Sunday" and readers who have loved "Shonen Sunday" in all eras. Thank you, please look forward to how I, as a "Shonen SUNDAY" child, will start my own actions to repay my kindness in the future, for which I will be extremely honored.

Editor-in-Chief of "Weekly Shonen SUNDAY" Takeshi Ichihara (omitted below)

For this official announcement with such a strong tone, it has also caused an uproar among Japanese anime fans: "It seems that many serials are going to be cut in half!" "A strong coup d'état, ah......" "Conan is finally finished?" And what kind of results will this reform bring, Tencent Animation will stay tuned with you!

Yuina Tanemura attends the disclosure meeting of the mobile game "Idolish7".

Idolish7, an idol boy group mobile game starring Arina Tanemura, the author of popular shoujo manga such as "Kamikaze Thief Joan of Arc" and "Looking for the Full Moon", recently held a completion disclosure session and a game preview meeting, and released a video introducing the characters and game system. Tanemura Yuina attended the event.

In the mobile game Idolish7, players can work hard to become superstars with 7 rookie idols. The game combines elements of music games and adventure games, and also features a large number of popular voice actors who are loved by female fans. The voice actors who have now been exposed include Kensho Ono, Toshiki Masuda, Yusuke Shirai, Tsubasa Dainaga, Kenn (**), Atsushi Abe, Takuya Eguchi, Wataru Hatano, Yuma Saito, and Takuya Sato. During the game's adventures, players can also have conversations with the characters and fully experience the voice actors' performances.

At this event, Arina Tanemura, who was the original character of the game, published a new line drawing that she drew especially for this event. The picture shows idols in private clothes gathering together and holding cakes to celebrate the birth of the game. You can see the more real and natural side of idols off the stage.

Tanemura said that the most difficult thing he had when designing the characters was the two brothers, Ichiori Izumi and Mizumi Mizumi. The elder brother March has a cheerful personality and a petite stature, and the younger brother Ichiori has an indifferent personality and is tall. Now the two characters are almost completely opposite, but in the original setting they were similar types. "I'm also in favor of them not being too similar, but it's really hard to draw brothers who aren't similar. Later, I simply drew one of them as 'mom' and the other as 'dad'. ”

Tanemura Yuna also revealed that there is no long-haired character among the idols this time, and the only long-haired man is the clerk of the office, Okami Wanri. And he was actually a rather sharp-eyed character at the beginning, and after many modifications, he became what he is now.

Now the manga version of "Idolish7" has started serialization on the Hakusensha shoujo manga website "Hana LaLaonline". The author of the manga version is Yamada のこし. In the future, we plan to launch a variety of other related products such as novels and merchandise. I look forward to this brand being bigger and better.

The "Attack on Titan" movie has suffered a crisis of bad reviews

Since its release, the live-action movie "Attack on Titan" has attracted widespread attention from all walks of life. However, at present, ** has the upper hand, which has also been reported by the Japanese media.

The live-action version of "Attack on Titan" has encountered a lot of turmoil during this period, fans of the original work think that the plot does not match, the invited actors are not suitable for the role, the length of the film is only 98 minutes and is divided into the front and back parts, and the obvious cheating of money and other problems aside, the various hype carried out by the staff during this period has also caused a lot of disgust.

Although the work won the first place at the box office in the first week of release, it quickly fell to fifth in the second week, and the results have been worse and worse since then. Originally, the distributor estimated that the work would be able to earn at least 5 billion yen at the box office, but now it seems that the final result may not even reach 3 billion yen.

And not only the work itself has suffered bad reviews, but there are also many embarrassments outside the work. An industry insider pointed out: "The current Menglan Bon Festival and the summer season are both battlefields for major works to compete for schedules, and initially "Attack on Titan" was considered to be able to compete with blockbusters such as "Mission Impossible". As a result, many venues have a lot of shows, and there is a 4DX system that raises the buzz, and even the regular version surpasses the scale of "Minions". However, the result was a lot of scolding. When "Minions" couldn't buy tickets, "Attack on Titan" couldn't sit down...... 4DX tickets for "Jurassic World" were basically sold out from just 1 or 2 minutes after the morning, and "Attack on Titan" naturally had a lot of tickets that couldn't be sold. In this case, viewers who want to use the summer vacation to watch the 4DX version of "Jurassic World" are very angry and demand that the number of Giants be changed to "Jurassic World". ”

In fact, the current attendance rate of "Attack on Titan" is only about 1/3 of that of works such as "Minions", and compared with "Jurassic World", it is only 1/4 of the other party. As a result, many people are also worried about what will happen to the second part of the work. And we will keep an eye on that.

In the end, the fans chose the first episode, the scene where the students shoot and kill the teacher together, and the famous scene where the characters in Pukuma Island are represented. In order to coincide with the announcement of the results, animation clips will be played on the big screen on the stage, causing cheers from the audience.

Next, it's "Assassination Time". The voice actors are divided into two groups, each probing for each other's weaknesses. The answers are bizarre, allowing fans to get in touch with the unknown side of the voice actors. When asked about "things to be afraid of", Sugita replied "centipede", Mai Oshigami said it was "phone ringing", Emi Ogata had a fear of heights, and Jun Fukuyama avoided the fashion store clerk...... And the most surprising thing is that Kimura, a big man, is actually afraid of mice. At the same time, this session also interacted with the audience. The audience could answer questions with a fan with ○ and × painted on it that was distributed at the time of admission, and everyone had a great time.

And in the third class, all the voice actors appeared on the stage, and they performed the original reading drama "The Time of the Summer Festival" together. In the story, the students of Class E are invited to the beach by the slain teacher, and the students are still unrelenting and seize every good opportunity for assassination. With a light-hearted and hilarious plot and tense assassination, the voice actors captivated the audience with their superb acting skills.

After the reading is over, it is natural to transition to the music. Moumoon, the band who is the leader of the TV series ED, appears as a special guest. They sang "Hello, shooting-star" with hearty singing voices. Nobuhiko Okamoto, who was unable to attend the event due to personal schedule problems, was replaced by a special group led by Kimura Pleiades to sing the theme song of the matinee "Youth サツバツ論" and the theme song of the night session "Self-reliance Ben Wish ボリューション". The voice actors took the stage again for a curtain call, and the conference ended with their singing and thanks.

By the way, the 6th volume of the Blu-ray and DVD of the anime "Assassination Classroom" is expected to be released on August 28, and the second season of TV will be broadcast next year. Tencent Animation will continue to pay attention to future trends.

Japanese girls: How to communicate with classmates who like anime

Anime has become a part of many Japanese people's lives, and it's a great pleasure for like-minded people to get together and talk about anime. However, recently, a woman raised her worries on the Internet: My classmates around me are talking about anime, what should I do?

According to the girl, all the people in her research room are anime fans except herself, and every time they have a meal, they discuss anime lively. In this regard, the girl thinks: "I'm already an adult, so I should hide my identity as an anime fan." There are also many people who have given their own answers.

★ First of all, admit that you are in the minority in "that space".

"In this case, everyone except her is an anime fan, so this kind of studio dinner = anime fan dinner. So, it's no surprise that they will make anime the main topic of discussion. ”（sayapama）

"Whether or not to hide your identity is actually your own personal choice, so in this research room, the landlord has become a 'foreign body'." （よは）

At the end of the day, the questioner just went to a place that didn't match his or her interests. Although you may feel uncomfortable, it is better to accept the reality that you are a "foreign body" in such an environment.

★ Not because "anime" is taken for granted, but because of "consistent interests".

"It's noisy because people are mixed up, that's why you label people. But if you don't know how to look at the atmosphere, whether you're talking about Genesys, animation, cars, or singers, you can feel this way. ”（Orelo）

It's not that there's a problem with talking about animation, it's just that no matter what field it is, like-minded people will definitely focus on certain topics together. First of all, the questioner should analyze this fact, because if you subjectively label people, then unnecessary friction may occur.

★ In adult colleagues, try to increase the chances of being exposed to animation

"Now that the number of fans who like ACG and others has increased rapidly, it has become a common thing for a long time to stay home." （uwaaaaaaaaaaa）

In addition, in recent years, the Japanese government has implemented a sub-culture overseas development strategy represented by animation, and even some domestic companies have begun to use animation character endorsements, so we will see the shadow of animation in many places.

"If you don't even know about some well-known anime, then I think it's because you don't have enough knowledge. When you're looking for a job, there's a good chance you'll be exposed to these things at a related business. ”（rukking15k）

As mentioned above, many people suggested that the questioner should take advantage of this opportunity to try to get in touch with anime. Since you are a "foreign body", you should treat other people as "seniors" and be interested in the world of such a world, which is actually an opportunity for you to broaden your horizons. After graduating from the laboratory, if you can understand the interests of other people, you will be able to have a better social circle when you go out into society. The laboratory is not only a place to learn specialized knowledge, but also a platform to learn many other experiences, so these may be necessary for the questioner.

Japanese media selected "the best character in anime works"

Since a large number of new anime are emerging every year, the number of anime characters is also increasing. So which of these characters have become classics in everyone's minds? Recently, some media conducted a survey on "the best character in anime works", and the results are as follows.

In first place is Ruri Hoshino, a popular character in "Mobile Battleship". At a young age, she has an unparalleled ability to pilot battleships, coupled with the attributes of not opening her mouth and having a poisonous tongue when she opens, which made her very popular when she first appeared in 1996, and she is still a character that everyone talks about today.

In second place is the protagonist of "Trigun" Faxiu Stabilt. Although he looks to be in his 20s, he is actually more than 100 years old, and his belief in "never killing" has touched many people.

And the key character of "CosmicDetective", Kenael Warfield, won the third place. Although it is only an incarnation projected by a computer, the image of green hair and long braids is still talked about by many audiences.

As for one of Queen Hayashihara's career masterpieces, the heroine of "Show Teasing the Magician", Lena Imbers, ranked fourth. The self-proclaimed "genius beautiful girl magician" has brought joy to many people's childhood, and it is reasonable to win praise.

And the first Moe King Kinomoto Sakura ("Variety Sakura Magic Card") won the fifth place. As one of the representatives of the magical girl character, Sakura's image is still deeply rooted in the hearts of the people today.

In addition Spike. Spieg (Cowboy Bebop), Kane Booley (Cosmic Interpol), Nicholas S. D. Uluft ("Gun God Trigun"), Yurika Gotong ("Mobile Battleship") and Kenshin Shikamura ("Rogue Kenshin") are also in the top 10.
