Cipher Pol 9 posted:That's really cute! Also, tangentially related, those are my two favorite characters and I recently got their fancy dress straps and they make me so very happy because they are so very, very cute. These ones. I'm assuming you got just the straps you wanted and not the whole set, so...where did you go for that? I only know of places that sell full sets and I know sometimes people set up box shares but that is kind of a hassle.

I think One Piece ending will pop that bubble, if it doesn't happen before that

Being from Rhode Island which is very tiny it still instills a great amount of joy in me whenever it's mentioned in anything for any reason so thanks @ Horikoshi or whoever writes the side manga for including me in your lore. It was probably Lincoln Chafee that did it too, the crazy bastard.

As for where, I live in Japan at the moment so I just got them from an Animate and got lucky with the blind boxes. I have no idea what I'm going to do for merch when I'm back in the states, it's so much more expensive.

Sadly I don't think the manga industry is going to change until a super popular author(like Oda) drops dead from overwork.

Fabricated posted:An animator for one of the big studios literally died at his desk recently IIRC. Exactly "an animator" you don't even know him because he's just an animator. That's like "an assistant" or "an intern" dying because of over work. It's awful but most people will just ignore it because the people who do a lot of lovely work in unfair conditions are basically sub-human to the majority of the public. RatHat posted:Sadly I don't think the manga industry is going to change until a super popular author(like Oda) drops dead from overwork. Is right. No one's really going to change anything until more publicly important people die from things they should have, and could have, easily prevented. Anyway I really liked that illegals chapter and am really liking how that series is shaking out.

his name was Kazunori Mizuno and he definitely had enough high profile credits to be well-known. the death was more widely reported citing his director credit on Naruto, rather than "animator." that article is worth a read because there are definitely some flawed aspects to this narrative in the west. i'm cynical enough about the commercial aspect to the industry that i think even an amazingly high profile death would not convince them to change. i can only hope that the work people in Japan and the industry are already doing, and will do, eventually coalesces into changes.

anyway imo if tezuka killing himself w overwork wasnt enough to dramatically change the industry, i dont see any other deaths changing it either. imo pmush has the right of it w the industry itself eventually collapsing or at least undergoing a massive shift due to outside forces

There's also the part of it where there are people in the industry who believe working yourself to death is a badge of honor and you're just not real about your work if you're not sleeping in your office and starving yourself

I kinda feel the opposite. I mean to be sure, there might not be as many/any Dragonball/One Piece class "cultural masterworks" on the horizon but the amount of, and healthiness (at least if the level they get promoted and talked about are any indicator) of online manga seems to indicate the business is expanding, even if the heights aren't quite as high for everyone. Self published stuff is included with that, along with stuff that gets thrown up on Pixiv and becomes part of... whatever their whole publishing thing is. That will kinda act as a backdoor in terms of decreasing the expectations in terms of worktime, I think. When you make your own schedule you're (hopefully) sensible enough to make it something that's more livable, especially when you cut out however much extra time having to spend sending something to an editor and getting it published in a magazine Plus, while weekly comics might still be the gold standard, other options are more viable than ever. I'm sure you risk a bit by not having that "HOT OFF THE PRESSES EVERY WEEK" presence in people's minds... maybe it's worth it, if your life in general is better.

So I just started reading and I gotta ask Does Bakugo calm down on being a tremendous piece of poo poo? I was down for the whole ~rival~ thing until he straight up told Izuki to loving kill himself so I'm okay with him getting killed off or whatever. Does he chill the gently caress out at any point?

Bakugo screaming "DIE!!!" as his battlecry in every situation no matter his opponent and regardless of him never actually aiming to legitimately kill them is perfection.

Yeah bakugou is a great character, he's a great foil for midoriya and you rarely see such an unrelenting rear end in a top hat antisocial overachiever played straight as a good guy. The fact that he never makes the stereotypical shonen deuteragonist turn of being defeated by the protagonist and becoming a neutered best friend cheerleader and he had a "uh oh might join the bad guys" arc and told them to gently caress off with 0 hesitation or temptation says so much about the series being importantly self-aware and subverting tropes.

Also it's worth noting, none of Bakugo's lovely attitude toward others has been rewarded or portrayed as a good thing by anybody at UA. The way a lot of his classmates just sort of disregard or breezily comment on it off to the side might come across as acceptance or whatever but it's really not. They all just put up with him because they know most of the time his bark is bigger than his bite (except with Midoriya, which is an extremely complicated, separate issue). Several teachers either comment on how messed up he is or actively try to do something about it. The reason he's at the top of the class and treated like a big deal is because, despite all that, he does earn his spot. He got lucky with his quirk, for sure, but he also worked super hard to get to where he is. It's definitely a valid point that his awful personality isn't suited to being a pro hero because even Midoriya's been chastised for his lack of outward confidence being "unfitting" of the image of a Hero. Presumably that will get more focus as the series goes.

And they are constantly breathing down his neck, even though he's a top performer, because of his rage boner. It's also worth noting that Deku is the only one we see really suffer because of Bakugo's attitude (everyone else just dismisses him as a pissed off weirdo, like shonen manga Yosimite Sam) and that's only because of their weird personal relationship. in a less interesting story, Bakugo would just be a Malfoy-esque "gifted prodigy who gets shown up by the hard working underdog" character. Instead he's the crazily driven ambitious guy who's deeply threatened/angry when the guy he wrote off as doomed for obscurity is blessed with the kind of good luck that only happens to protagonists in fictional stories. he's pretty good
