Anyone knows what is this 2nd BC's Novel about? I heard some time ago that it would be about Konjiki no Yoake (Golden Dawn I guess), but now...
Synopsis on the Jump J Books site say it's a collection of stories, one about the Knights being gathered for some banquet, one about Luck and Magna, and another about what you mentioned (Golden Dawn).

Funimation lists Black Clover at 13 episodes. So if I recall correctly Tabata said he was looking forward to seeing the battle between the leader of the "Despair" and "Hate" people. If Tabata is correct indicating where the anime will end then the storytelling is probably going to be very compressed even when taking into account the nature of Tabata's writing.

The Funimation listing is probably just a placeholder. Between it's timeslot and who's producing it there's basically zero chance this'll be shorter than 26 episodes

Stalling digital edition release is the most ridiculous thing I've seen publishers doing, there is no reason at all to do that and they just punish readers who buy digital.
Or you know, passing from a form to another is risky and can be catastrophic, and so is better to make the transition in a moderate manner.

What kind of catastrophe? Because some mangas they released on the same and other they arbitrarily chose to release 1 week, 2 weeks, 1 month later, this choice is also arbitrary. The only reason I see for that is that they want to lose money.

Saying that their choice is arbitrary doesn't make it so.

Like you know, many people that are buying just buy volumes and if they have available the digital format at the same time than the volume, than they will not even take the effort of buying either of the two version. Just reading through a 3rd party.
Or you know they turn to buying digital, but then don't like really buying it and so give up. But instead of returning to the volumes, because of the let down of the digital experience, don't even return to that.
There are many reasons why the audience would decrease giving the transition. A change of any kind normally means a decrease.

People often assume that exchange of format is simple and that the audience of one turns of that of the other. That is not close to what happens. Just like people assume that the same people that watch a season go for the 2nd and the 3rd, but obviously is not. Or the boost of further seasons, is the same as the 1st season, that is obviously totally wrong.

People are risking huge amounts of cash here, jumping of a cliff is simple not a option. And why not? Because most certainly a cruel and painful death awaits those who jump.

So apparently Yoichi Fujita (Gintama/Osomatsu-san director) was planning a collab with Yuragi during the Gintama: Porori-hen anime run, but it probably can't/couldn't be done due to scheduling.

Its closer to simply being a wild idea/musing he had that couldn't be done.

By 3rd party you mean piracy? As I already said answering to jagman post, piracy has ever been out there, it was not born with digital edition, the delay will not prevent them from scanning the volume and putting it into the internet in the same day, they did it for years after all. And really, if people are decided to go to "3rd parties" they will do it with delay or not.
The second reason is not valid for what we are saying, the let down will happen with the delay or not.

Throwback to when he said he was interested in doing a Samon anime.

Speaking of which, how many cancelled mangas from Shonen Jump have received an anime excluding OVAs? Because it's really bad to have a good manga series being cancelled close to 100 chapters and not receive an anime.

If this is real then the current arc of MHA seems to not be well received. Other then that it seems like everything is consistent since last week.

Yeah...I'm going to wait for Heiji to post especially since that list has MHA listed as a color again when it wasn't listed in the preview.

Why do people..or rather just Koi Kage...seem to forget the fact that this arc was ranking well up until recently and the fact that volumes 14 and 15 were the best selling volumes of the series thus far? TOC manipulation is just becoming more likely by the week.

How good are the reviews for volume 14 and 15 do on amazon.jp? I checked and saw that they were both 3.5 stars, but I can't read jap so I don't know the details.

Same score as the past 4 volumes 3.5 out of 5. They also gave the Hideout arc a 3.5 out of 5 so they're either really nitpicky like they always are or they're the regular shitposter reviews spamming 1's. As you'd expect the main complaints come from the cover and the cast page being a rush job and outside the atypical "doomsayer" comments nothing really critical like most Amazon reviews

It seems like we are not alone in condemning My Hero Academia recent covers.

His covers has always been hit or miss man much like Togashi I always await to see what he chooses for the next cover good or bad also the back covers are always a delight. I kinda wish he would settle on a consistent theme with them though.
