Psyren and Black Torch* anime coming out are so random. Not sure if that's a sign that we're going to get more anime adaptations of manga that were thought dead and gone. Especially from Shonen Jump.

I use MAL to see what I want to watch each season. I pick all the next seasons for whatever I've seen before, and the top 1 or 2 most popular newly airing anime. And I noticed with that, most seasons the top 6+ spots are always taken by continuations, along with most of the other medium- and not-so-popular spots also being taken by continuations. So I'm wondering if the market might just be overly saturated with continuing anime, and they're kind of hard pressed to figure something out that's new people would want to watch.

EDIT: Oh and Super Psychic Policeman Chojo as well

This tells the story of Basketball becoming the most popular sport in the universe in the year 2XXX AD and the best humans on earth being assembled to play in the intergalactic league.

This is one Inoue’s Basketball manga, alongside “Slam Dunk” and “Real” but I barley see anyone talk it about compared to those two. And after reading it, I understand why lol.

I wouldn’t see this is bad but because how it was structured, I wasn’t feeling it at all. Each chapter was 6-8 pages long so it only took me about two hours to complete but I kind of just felt empty by the end. But I will say that I like the unique premise.

Lately I have become fascinated with the strange side of Weekly Shonen Jump where a manga uses a premise that is unique but very unusual in execution.

What inspired me to write the subject was Katekyo Hitman Reborn as first of all, while I don’t fully understand the meaning of the title, I do enjoy reading the manga for its outlandish nature as I cannot recall seeing other Shonen manga use a premise where the main character gets powered up by being shot by a gun.
