Black Lagoon Manga Creator Opens Up About Dealing with Depression

Rei Hiroe explained that depression is the reason behind the manga's multiple hiatuses

That explains why it's taking him so long. Take all the time you need dude. I never liked, nor cared much for the series to begin with. Every man or woman needs their rest and proper mental treatment.

Huh. I always assumed it was over already, since the anime just kinda ended. It was pretty abrupt, I'm guessing this is why.

I don't know who is to blame for this one, but it really does sound like a bunch of Hollywood fucks huffing their own farts. I thought DC was supposed to be turning over a new leaf after WB got acquired. This sure has the same energy as Sony re-releasing Morbius because they don't understand the internet.

Speaking of, apparently because Sony really over invested into that re-release, they're putting out an "extended" version of No Way Home into theaters, because "we keep asking for it". Lmao.

Ive never quite understood the Manga production industry. You have some of these like world famous authors quietly toiling away doing all their own art and writing, making pennies, battling depression, despite their stuff getting crazy popular adaptations and then youll hear about other guys like I believe the "rent-a-girlfriend" author whos so rich he built a studio in his house where 10 apprentices do all his art for him.

Ive never really dived into it, but I suspect theres just not a lot of support in Japan for authors and its comes down to business savy.

The US comics industry went through a kind of author ownership battle starting in the 90s with Rob liefield and Jim lee where artists got together and started art owned labels like IMAGE and SkyBound, Robert Kirkmans label, to make sure artists actually get paid and keep their IP.

Idk, I get the impression it doesn't work that in Japan, that artist might own their work, but are still under the iron grip of publishers

.

This is all I can find on it, but it seems to confirm artists get fucked pretty hard over there unless they stand up for themselves which is probably difficult for many.

The Fast and Furious movies throws the word, "family" around like cheap Dollar store fruit chews. Ever since after the third movie. It all rings hollow. The Streets of Rage games have a better understanding of family, without spitting it in the audience's face every 5 minutes.

It reminds me of how the 4kids of dub of Yu-Gi-Oh had way more speeches about friendship than either the manga or the original anime.

And it just occurred to me now that Yu-Gi-Oh 5Ds, the first season at least, is basically Yu-Gi-Oh meets Fast and the Furious. I could see Diesel being attached to a live action version of that show.

So Char Aznable from Gundam is shilling burgers in Japan now. Hmm, I can practically taste the fasc. It's probably in the sauce.

I bet that burger also goes through your colon three times faster than a regular burger. Triple Cheese Newtype is a great name for a burger tho

Yeah, I know, it's just kind of funny cuz unhinged genocidal fascist. Then again, those are weirdly popular in Japan, at least aesthetically.

Protection order granted for 12-year-old against Ezra Miller after ‘cult’ claims

Authorities have not been able to serve the papers to the 29-year-old Miller because the actor went missing after posting memes on Instagram earlier this week.

The plot thickens! Fyi, this is a different teenager from the one Miller kidnapped. Also, to be a fly on the wall at WB.

The thing is everyone knows if they ever made it real, people would eat it up. People thirst for blood.

As someone who really got into anime through the original series, this is exciting for me.
