Do they already know in their minds what they wanna be extra harsh on or do they let the readers decide that first? Seems like TPN had no issues, Yuragi and KnY too.
I hope Kimetsu doesn't get an anime announcement...at least atm. It's too early and I want S1 to be 2 cour (altho material we have atm is enough for that but still too early).
.
I know but I still want to wait a bit longer. I'm against it being a long runner too. Really worried that Toei will get it because they've been way too quiet, they are bound to pick up at least one of these titles.
we just had Ageha not to long ago, it looked like it was surviving in the lower half of the mag until it crushed and burned
it's the only thing he did, it was in the same Jump Next issue as UBS mangaka oneshot
If you actually read it, Toei is the last studio that should get it.
Judging by the temperature here people will soon get desperate enough to take any studio, including Toei, because Hinomaru Zumou is in a dire situation regarding anime. I think it will never happen.
I don't. I hate their designs for their characters, especially macho looking characters.
I think it's more about tough love and teaching the authors that think they're the next big thing humility and the importance of listening to their editors
Pig has not been able to do ballroom justice, so toei would be preferable.
They don't specifically target rookies. Its more that rookies, especially promising rookies, have/had a tendency to come in and write manga that are hard for the readers to empathize and relate to and they also get overconfident and don't listen to their editors who have seen many similar rookies and thus know what mistakes to avoid. They end up making these mistakes and then quickly get cancelled in 10 chapters. Oda was also a promising rookie that was overconfident. Oda himself mentions this. He also did not want to get cancelled because he was unsure if he could recover and write a second series. Thus, his editor, Kushima raised the bar really high before he was serialized and had huge amount of corrections he wanted Oda to make. Of course Oda didn't want to make the changes but eventually made some of the changes listed. If there were things that he did not want to change, he'd refuse to change them. It apparently looked like Oda and his editor were fighting constantly from the outside. These changes led him to write an incredible first chapter and have a really polished story that instantly took off. His editor was really able to bring out Oda's strengths. There's this stigma of editors doing more bad than good but if it wasn't for Kushima, we wouldn't have One Piece in its current format.
The newest volume in Japan is #15, the newest volume in the west is #9. The west is 1/3 behind.
I've always hated it but I'm so glad they're changing that. Hopefully they can do that with all their manga and then maybe we wouldn't have to wait a year for hxh vol. 35
