edit: how do I make the image smaller, it is not even that high res
Why is it not acceptable tho? He's no longer in the main competitive magazine. His series in Giga is literally the biggest boost it can get. I'm fairly certain WSJ made the logical choice of switching magazines for Sorachi for two reasons
It’s generally considered unprofessional to repeatedly break deadlines, it wreaks havoc with promo and makes everyone involved look clueless.
In terms of deadlines Sorachi-Sensei has rarely been on break and every week consistently makes the deadline with close to 20 pages, which is more than can be said about some other series in Jump right now. Some very, very popular series.
For someone who has kept his deadline for 15 years, I'm sure there are different rules and expectations (like in every work environment) especially when they are almost at the ending of their work.
Exactly the point. Despite his image as messy gorilla the guy actually pretty tidy. Thats why everything that happening now feels so strange.
It's either he takes his time to end it the way he wants it to end or it'll end like how Bleach did. Sudden and not planned well.
And where would the problem be?
The point was if Sorachi, a well respected veteran who created arguably the most well known comedy manga of his generation, can't have the luxury of postponing his manga's ending despite not being in the main magazine, then newcomers like MHA and BC are definitely not up to the mark because of their shorter chapters and unfinished art in several chapters.
Wrong sort of deadline, but I get the confusion. The uh ultimate deadline as it were. The end. Publically missing announced endpoints is the issue.
Yeah the big issue here is that he went to the editors himself to say that he was ready to finish the manga. He's already been on record as messing up the timing so they were generous enough to give him the space in GIGA. He believed he could finish the manga then but he decided to do a random parody of DB instead, which while it was funny, it really didn't add anything to concluding the story. As much as I love the manga and Sorachi, he has to take some blame here for not planning out his stuff properly. Like I said before, he's lucky that there are people at Shueisha who love him enough to let him do what he wants and not just fire him on the spot for missing two of his own planned deadlines.
Didnt he already take the blame for when he couldn't finish the manga in WSJ? I'm sure if they approached him to make more public comments, he'd just say its his fault again.
Yeah he already admitted in that final letter it was his problem that he couldn't meet the deadline that he had originally set when he first went to meet the editors. Regarding your second point, I get your point that in the grand scheme of things, taking into account Sorachi's nature and the fact that he can lampoon himself in ways others wouldn't dare, this missed deadline doesn't mean that much.
Do people even care about this game anymore?
Lol Again this is mistake in my option. DB parody only lasted 6 pages. And all other pages were blatantly wasted on talking and running.
