The new series sound awesome! I'm really excited to see what kind of a story Obata has in him - though I'm afraid it'll get the Yuuto treatment. I also love Hiroyuki Takei's style so it'll surely be lots of fun to follow along with a new series after this far-too-long delay.

Nice to see Reborn and Neuro up there! Too bad for P2 and Hands. Both show[ed?] promise.

And man oh man, must the Naruto fans be ecstatic.

Oh wait... spring of 2008? Probably not that happy at all, then. Actually, that's like a really bad slap in the face. At least they finally have a date for the end of the fillers.

Yeah, I told some of my friends about it and they were not thrilled. At least they know when they can start watching Naruto again. ^_^;;

HAHAHAHA sucks for them Naruto-fans. XD

And what do you mean you're speechless? D: The order of appearance isn't from how popular it is. ._.; Or else people will just tear half of JUMP away and carry around the first half. >_>;;

Its been very high the last couple of weeks; indicating people like most chapters, thus I call that popular o_o

Well, at least the end date has been set. I'm done with these fillers. Time to free up some space on my HD for the new arc! ^-^

Blue Dragon sounds like it'll be interesting. I look forward to that, especially since it sounds dark and possibly fantasy like.

Juken Ningen Jon Boll sounds....ok. The synopsis seems a little sketchy, but I'd like to see how this story works out.

I know this is far fetched but why does Blue Dragon make me think of the Xbox 360 game of the same name? Jump's had a few advertisements for it, plus the characters are designed by Toriyama...has there been any preview art shown yet?

Because it's probably all part of a big "Make Xbox 360 Succeed in Japan" Plan. :P

I assume that this is also a videogame tie-in (like the one in Monthly Jump). Set in the same universe of Blue Dragon, but with a different setting and style to it.
I have to wonder about the story though... I cant imagine them all being the same Blue Dragon story. :/

Here's some Obata Blue Dragon art that popped up about a week ago: http://img393.imageshack.us/img393/3787/01ip4.jpg

Yeah I don't know if that plan will ever work but I'll take all the JRPGs I can get. XD

That's kind of cool. Also I didn't know there was a MJ tie in...do you know what it's called?

Looks pretty good, art wise at least. I guess we'll finally find out if Obata can back up that art or if he's just a guy who draws gooder. :p

Well, with Blue Dragon created by Akira Toriyama and the "biological father" of Final Fantasy. And Lost Oddysey, which is created by the same studio and character designs by Takehiko Inoue... They're really putting an effort to make sure the Xbox 360 doesnt walk down the same path as its predecessor.

The one in MJ is called: Blue Dragon ST
