    Speaking of One Piece after next weeks chapter so not this Sunday's but next Sunday's chapter 1053, there's gonna be a month hiatus because per Oda:

    Which given the Saga that is being wrapped up here is like half the manga we've probably got between 5 and 19 years left.

    Also for promo for upcoming Film Red, and visiting the aforementioned Live Action set in the US.

    Yeah... I dunno how I feel about this at all. It seems like you should have permission from an artist to do this before they die. But then of course not everyone knows they're gonna die soon. But I'll still read it.

    Part of the fun of AniMenagerie is showing Zonugal a wide variety of anime based on suggestions from everyone in attendance, and seeing his immediate reactions. I did have a feeling Space Patrol Luluco might be a little too much for him. We all want Jimmy to have a good time, though, so we're stopping at episode three. We don't want to torture him or anything.

    So, with some time to fill, we've tentatively scheduled two exciting new shows for next week:

    I predict absolutely zero issues with this decision. Smooth sailing ahead!

    Well, this his best friend. He knew Miura wanted more for the story, and there's no better person to take over, so I'm fine with it.

    yeah but that was planned and discussed between the two of them.

    Miura very well might have been the sort of artist that had a vision that ONLY he could achieve, and someone else making something close, but not quite there, might have bothered him. But who knows. Hopefully his friend had a good idea of what Miura would have wanted and that's about all we can go off of and hope for.

    The letter's very explicit that they're not going to flesh anything out or do anything he doesn't remember 100% clearly so if they stick to that their plan sounds alright to me so far.

    If his best friend, the only person who he described the full story of Berserk to in detail, the guy he knew for thirty years and who helped him craft Berserk, says that Miura would want him to at least try? Then I'm gonna believe that guy

    I wish those people all the best. Miura's apprentices are clearly incredibly talented artists who he had a lot of faith in. There's really no one else who could do this, and definitely no one else who should

    There'll always be an asterisk on these chapters, but I think everyone recognizes that, fans and creators included. It's an absolute tragedy that Miura couldn't finish it himself, but I can't imagine him being disappointed with this attempt

    So yeah, I'll read it. I'm curious. Shit, I would have settled for a basic plot summary of what was gonna happen

    I do not envy him that decision. He knows his friend wanted to finish the story passionately. He even knows the full story, and it apparently hasn't even changed after all those years, its just followed that draft from the start. He can completely lay it out from memory and the draft in front of him, from forty years of conversations.

    But he's going to get endless shit for it, undeservedly so, for even daring to try. "They ruined berserk." will be the cry, even if its 100% accurate to what Miura would have made, even if its a straight copy of the draft form written by miuras own hand. The fault will be invented, and they will be blamed.

    Really, really don't envy this decision.

    Goodluck to them. I will read it.

    Btw the thing that convinced me is that according to him Miura called him over 30 years ago and for a week they fleshed out together the entire story of Berserk, which Miura has been following faithfully ever since. If that is true, this story is as much his creation as Miura's.

    yeah but that was planned and discussed between the two of them.

    Robert Jordan didn't select Brandon Sanderson as successor. After Robert's death, his wife Harriet gave Brandon a call after she read a eulogy Brandon put on his website and after reading a few pages of the first Mistborn book. Using Robert's notes and Harriet's guidance, Brandon finished the Wheel of Time but he never directly worked with Robert.

    Yeah, prior to his death, all they'd worked out was that someone would finish it.

    Honestly, I hope they feel they can flesh out details. A draft of the story is good for the big picture but a story needs the writers willing to touch on all the little details, too.

    Yeah, this is the other thing that worried me about the statement they put out. Miura probably planned to work on this for decade(s?) longer. Are we gonna speedrun the ending now?

    Kouji was not only friends with Miura for decades but the two of them created the entire storyline of Berserk together, which Miura has never deviated from? If all that is true, and I have no reason disbelieve it, then Kouji is the only person who can accomplish the task of finishing Berserk the way Miura intended and I wish him the best.

    Kotoyama is the author of a manga called Dagashi Kashi (which was also adapted into an anime). It was about an aspiring manga author whose father owned a candy shop, and a girl from a giant candy company that tries to get the boy to take over his father's shop by talking about the joys of candy. It just a slow-paced slice of life.

    It ended a while ago, and the author has a new manga called Call of the Night (which is officially licensed and available in English). It started out as a slice of life about an insomniac boy who liked to stay up all night and a vampire girl he met who shows him the joys of nightlife. However, over time it slowly shifted genres...and now it is basically Vampire DBZ. People are speed blitzing around and leveling buildings. It's kind of crazy how that all happened.

    Content warning in that there isn't really any nudity I remember, but the panels can overly focus on the vampire girl who looks like she's 14 or 15.

    While I agree, I am skeptical of their ability to create the incredibly intricate, wood-carving level of detail on simple spreads.

    Would ONE be able to do do that style better or something?
