Need to update my wishlist.
yes he changed his style after blame!, biomega then it was more notorious on knights of sidonia and two of his later work apozim where everything was almost white, he made an anime that had one season kaina of the snow sea, so this looks more promising and more closer to biomega and blame! or even Noise!
Yeah, I'll hold out hope for the scanlators, otherwise I'll wait for Book*Walker to have a good sale after it comes out officially.It’s also simulpubbed now.
As per usual, whether the scanslation continues is on the scanslators. Don’t blame Kodansha, just push them to make K Manga more accessible.
Well, the way the marquess "eats" his lunch seems to be by raping people.Reason behind ''sexual violence'' tag?
It's still a shame that he is going this way. His old art style was one of the best in manga because of how he was doing it. That "approachable" maybe easier to do, but it lost its uniqueness and quality. For example, in APOSIMZ even the architecture, which is his strong part, was worse looking than in Blame. I just miss the old one, hope he will return to it some day.i disagree on the art being downgraded. anyone who's done pages of comics KNOWS how unsustainable a blame volume would be with conventionnal storywriting. how unsustainable it generally is to make a goddamn manga.
the author clearly made a switch from paper to digital with biomega (the way the shade is handled, the lineart being really uniform and the use of 3d support on some structures (he does a damn good job at integrating it)...
Which typically means there's no downscaling unlike paper drawing. i have no doubt he was doing A3's worth of stuctures back then.
it's multiple times quicker to do, too.
you cant even imagine how heavy and resource intensive a full scale high ppi, multi layered drawing gets when you go digital if you go ham on detail. i've made "things" that were 4-7gb a piece. you'd get into terabytes territory quick at a mangaka's pace.
let's be real, if you have kids, you cant pull another blame. he was publishing it at 4x the speed any european artist would. i'm thinking Comès, for example. his entire career was less than 40 volumes, from 1971 to 2009.
Miura died without completing his manga.
him making short, approachable stuff (well granted it's still tsusomu "mutilator" nihei we're talking about) means we'll get more incredible architectures in different scenarios. i'm all for it. i crave for it.
