As someone who only started tracking sales with the Kamio/Saiyuki batch, it's nice to finally see some series perform well. Surprising that Yozakura did so well when loads of people here were trashing it not too long ago.
Gotouge being a speed demon with drawing reminds me of Mashima. I do wonder how prolific Wani-sensei could be if he/she opened up a social media account. I'm gonna fall off my chair if they end up spamming their account with sketches/drawings at the same rate Mashima does.A new interview with the first editor, Katayama, for Kimetsu no Yaiba was released today.
1、鳄鱼画NAME的速度很快，一般1-2天就能完成。（参考：尾田是3-4天，空知是4-5天。）
2、鳄鱼和担当编辑通过电话和电子传真进行商讨和修改原稿。
3、鳄鱼受到JOJO的影响很大，比如呼吸法和JOJO的波纹类似，拥有不死身的鬼也让人想起JOJO。
4、鳄鱼是个原则性很强的作家，遇到她不想改的地方她会坚持到底，但反之，不涉及原则性的问题时，她又会虚心地改。比如片山曾觉得进入鬼杀队前的修炼篇幅占的太多了，在初期不容易抓住读者。但是鳄鱼说一般人不可能那么快成长的。而左近次一开始是不戴面具的普通老头，在被片山说冲击力不够后，改成了戴面具登场。
5、鳄鱼曾经决心，2015年内没成功连载的话，就放弃漫画家这条路。
6、有前辈像鳄鱼建议，像全职猎人一样，虽然有很多奇特的角色，但是主人公刚是个普通人，这种对比会很有意思。鳄鱼听从建议后，画出来的就是炭治郎了。
7、鳄鱼喜欢银魂，鬼灭中的搞笑部分受到银魂的影响。
8、鳄鱼不为自己而画，她一直考虑的是如何能让读者享受其中。
9、民间传说鬼灭曾经有过近乎腰斩的绝境，片山否定了这个说法：没有过这种危机。比如鬼灭第7话就拿到了中彩，就是因为人气很高才突然决定给的。
10、 动画的19话是神回，对应的漫画40话其实也是神回。片山虽然13话之后就离任鬼灭担当了，但实际上40话的时候因为编辑交替，他临时担任了这段时间的编辑。他记得这段剧情当时就很好评，而且也受到了前辈的表扬。
11、鬼灭从来就没在意过“友情、努力、胜利”的标语。片山从来没有以此作为标准过，他觉得作品的标准就是能否让读者觉得有趣，仅此而已。

鬼灭之刃初代编辑访谈..1、鳄鱼画NAME的速度很快，一般1-2天就能完成。（参考：尾田是3-4天，空知是4-5天。）2、鳄鱼和担当编辑通过电话和电子传真进行商讨和修改原稿。3、鳄鱼受到JOJO的影响很大，比如呼吸法和JOJtieba.baidu.com
From what I can TL the summary.
1) Gotouge draws names fast, taking up to 1-2 days only to complete (compared to Oda 3-4 days and Sorachi 4-5 days)
2) Gotouge and the editor revised the things through phone and electronic fax
3) Inspiration for the work is Jojo (breathing styles and the undead/ghost)
4) Gotouge is a principled writer. When he/she doesn't want to change anything, he/she will persist in that, but when not related to principled issues, he/she will change things modestly. Then goes to follow about an example that Goutouge changed a thing after a suggestion (citing it is not easy to grab readers in the early days)
5) Gotouge planned to give up on the mangaka work in case Kimetsu wasn't serialized during 2015.
6) Tanjirou's design came up as a suggestion that his design as an ordinary guy should counter the more strange characters later on
7) Gotouge loves Gintama, and the comedy bits are inspired by it
8) Gotouge does not work for his/her's enjoyment, but thinks about how to make the readers enjoy the manga
9) There is a rumor around that Kimetsu no Yaiba once didn't do well and was in a desperate situation, which was never true. In fact, the editor calls Kimetsu a "lottery", which managed to get a Color Page for Chapter 7, suddenly decided out of nowhere because of the popularity.
10) Couldn't TL this, sorry
11) Kimetsu has never paid attention to the Jump slogan "Friendship, Effort, Victory". The editor has never used this as a standard. The standard of the work was whether it can make the readers to find it interesting, and that was all.
That's pretty informative and damn, what a story actually... To go from planning to quit to having the biggest series in recent memory in the span of just a few years. Also didn't think they considered kimetsu a success right from the very start, good to know.A new interview with the first editor, Katayama, for Kimetsu no Yaiba was released today.

Isn't anime on Bilibili legal?
www.luxurysociety.com
and I doubt that those companies vere happy about it.
SBS PopAsia
Australia's #1 destination for K-pop, C-pop, J-pop and more. Non-stop Asian pop music streaming 24/7.www.sbs.com.au
Any chance of an early ToC today with cover dropping early? (or at least i think this is earlier than usual)
Agravity looks like it'll do well from the jp response to it on twitter. Zipman doesn't look as promising imo.
And so ?

I wouldn't give much credit about China, really.
Yeah I agree China censorship is problem and we will see in future how companies will be greedy for China cash. I follow box office and superheroe movies make big bucks in China but films like Joker, Deadpool, Bohemian Rhapsody are proof that are worth make movies not suitable for China censorship but that is discussion not for this tread.
So what? They don't have a hold on the industry like you're implying since AOT and SAO are still running and are still among the biggest anime running worldwide. This ban only cripples them since MHA was a big property over there and because of their overreaction they lost a moneymaker.
It cripples both.
Billibilli isn't on the production committee so they wouldn't have gotten revenue from that site anyways. Once again China has no hold on the anime industry and Japan doesn't make anime to appeal them it only helps failing anime more so than successful titles.
? They'd still get money off streaming rights, merch etc.
What extra money? The revenue they make in the foreign market is disproportionate to the money they make in Japan, all Shuiesha, Toho, Tomy and Bamco cares about is how the series does in it's country of origin hell China was among the last market to get MHA and that was AFTER it was a huge success. You are vastly over exaggerating how much of a big deal this is.
They've literally made one response on the outcry days ago and left it at that. Why would a JAPANESE made product be effected by being banned from CHINA? Death Note has been banned in China for over a decade and since then has had five live action movies, a TV series, merchandise and recently had a new one-shot released that had a great reception so please tell me how it being banned from China effected it? I'd really like to know how not being legally available in China stopped it from making money and continuing?

Japan also got their support Horikoshi's tag trending. It's also 1# in Russia, RUSSIA the same people who were victims of the same atrocities can see how stupid the hate mob is being.Horikoshi is Trending Topic in Spain. Spanish and Latin American fans are supporting Horikoshi (#SupportHorikoshi was also Trending Topic 1 in Mexico).
EDIT: Welp. First time ever I see Hero Academia being a Moment in Twitter (usually the only anime to get Moments in Twitter Spain are the mega-mainstream ones aka Dragon Ball, Naruto and Death Note).
Disproportionate or not, money is money. Even 5% of the total is still important, I don't see what's so hard to grasp.
