How does that date reflect on production? That's the second Saturday of July, Aniplex shows that aren't tied to a special block like noitminA are always Saturday night and quite frequently start the second week. It's taking the time slot from Franxx which is airing the 24th episode on July 7 anyway so it couldn't start earlier.

Is this a sign to Haikyuu reaching it’s climax soon?

Ah okay. Didn't know that FranXX was ending then.
Production still probably won't be good from what we've seen though.

We know the readership of Jump as a magazine, with 25.8% being between ages 19-24, 27.4% 25 and above, 17.6% 16-18, 16.4% 13-15, 9.6% 10-12 and the remaining for 9 and under. I think the target the magazine as a whole is aimed at is the 13-17 or that mid-middle school, high school age group. Stone was said to be popular among younger readers though I don't know the specific numbers. I saw a report saying that a lot of elementary schoolers bought Heroaca Vol. 15 once and a big portion of its viewership/readership are middle and high schoolers. OP is a weird case. Its got a sizable kids TV rating but an even bigger Men and Women aged 35-49 rating. For example, this is the transition from Kitaro to OP for the week of 5/7-5/13 :

*5.7　*3.3　*8.0　*0.6　　*3.5　*2.7　*2.4　　*3.6　*5.3　*2.4　　ｹﾞｹﾞｹﾞ
*6.3　*3.4　*4.8　*1.5　　*2.9　*5.8　*2.5　　*5.2　*6.5　*1.2　　ﾜﾝﾋﾟ

The bolded are in order, Kids rating, Men 35-49 and Women 35-49. The actual household rating you saw on Video research is 6.3 for OP and 5.7 for Kitaro. This could simply mean that a lot of parents are watching these shows with their kids but it doesn't always hold. Nichiasa is also a thing so some kids go there. Even then the older people rating doesn't drop.

Woah, I didn't know Kitaro was so strong with kids. I knew it was more popular with woman than with older men, though.

Is this a sign to Haikyuu reaching it’s climax soon?

Is this a sign to Haikyuu reaching it’s climax soon?

No, it’s just it’s gotten way behind on volume releases recently (Generally 9 chapters per volume every 3 months means this sort of thing happens) and can justify two consecutive releases. It’s not something that’s limited to a series that’s ending.

I hope we actually get some interesting information from the Kubo interview, specifically on whether or not he plans to return to the manga industry. Honestly, I can see him doing just character design work.

He stated a little while back that he's going to wait 15 years before starting up a new series.

In a way, I think it's pretty safe to take that as a joke. The man would be 55 years old if he were to start up a new series by then and while it wouldn't disqualify him from creating manga...it wouldn't be an easy feat either. (Especially since I believe he has a shoulder injury as well.) Not everyone can pull off an Akimoto!
However, I believe Kubo has said that he made enough from Bleach to live comfortably for the rest of his life and so in a way you could interpret the not creating a new series for 15 years statement as him telling people to not expect a new series from him at all. It would be incredibly hard even for a super diehard fan to wait that long in the hopes that Kubo would start a new series. That hardcore Bleach fan would have likely given up and moved onto greener pastures by then. That just might be the pessimistic side of me speaking though.

Because every human alive is able to accurately predict their own life a decade and a half from now.

Kubo did always have a knack for foreshadowing.

 

[Belkac3m]

15 years... it should be enough for him to learn how to write a story
