The cups shadow WASN'T a hook. It was a super tiny detail that was *there*, but that everyone missed. Because the point was for it to be missed.

The names weren't hooks, they were just names...

Basically its a really hard and draining gig, and they're all terrified of being stuck in the role forever... and Tom Baker being burned out on it by the end and never really moving onto other work...

I dunno, Kodocha Eva is pretty good.

Will the music be intact or are they going to butcher it like the dvds?

Biden is officially president at noon, regardless of what point the ceremony is at.

The author has weekly deadlines, sure... but he also had all the time in the world to plan ahead. Most writers of ongoing serials don't make things up *completely* week by week. New situations or...

Oh, the "only a professional writer can criticize" track? Okay.

I've been in the industry for 22 years and have worked on literally thousands of books as a either a writer, editor, artist,...

I swear I'd say the author is rushing toward the ending... but he just had the series ending climax and decided to say "nah, that's the halfway mark" so I have no idea what he's thinking.



So,...

Nah. That one was almost certainly a retcon on Oda's part to help ease fans over Ace's death. A retcon that fit just fine, but probably not something he had planned 10 years in advance. Even if he...

24 hours of this madness to go.

Lets see how many day 1 promises Biden keeps.

Oda doesn't pick the characters that go on the spine side, editors do based on who looks best from the overall cover image. And its been the case that even volumes have two characters and odd...

Voted Hiriluk.



Nah, it doesn't have to be foul play. It's supposed to showcase characters that have had a big upswing lately compared to earlier. Now that its changing hourly instead of...

I'mm down. Do we know when exactly the reset is? EST?

Luffy's been saying Gear Second, Gear Three, Gear Four since the start at Enies Lobby. In both the manga and the japanese. Does the dub do it different?

Even covered spines get two characters, odd covers get one. So Yamato will be splitting with someone. Maybe Luffy.



Oda doesn't choose the spine characters. Editors/art team do. And they...

Oda foreshadowed the third sake cup indicating Sabo in plain sight but didn't draw any attention to it because he WANTED you to miss that there was a third shadow between Luffy and Ace. And that was...

That cover was in October, and Yamato first showed up in JUNE. If Oda knew he wasn't likely to get to a cover that would have Yamato till December or January, there was incentive to get the official...

Yeah, earlier pose was way better.

Yamato should absolutely have a flatter chest. It would be a more defining character trait. But Oda IS targetting 12 year old boys after all.

Yeah, in...

BM was second in the middle east yesterday around 6 PM est. I noted that one.

Kaidou not making any jumps is kind of surprising though.

The first Yamato pose where the club was aimed down looked better composition wise, but I guess Oda went with that pose cause fanservice.

Are you counting the seven chapters of Duranki he did last year?

We've fairly consistently gotten a volume every year except for that stint he worked on different projects like the year on...

Maybe they'll finally change it when it hits 100.

It's a mixed bag. I *like* consistency in my long term trades. I like it when all teh volumes are the same height, and when the spines all match...

Wow, I woulda left Kaidou in out of sheer stubborness after having drawn all those scales.

I wonder if Oda made a digital brush to quickly fill them in for layout purposes.

Yet another cover...

It is a good update. By the hour is going to get more variety than by the day and probably work a lot closer to the intention.

--- Update From New Post Merge ---

As of 6:00 EST.

Currently...

Funny, I could have sworn Blackbeard was there while Luffy was throwing a revolt on the inside...

So? Digital helps speed up the layout and sketching phase, makes it easier to scale things or change details later... but it doesn't speed up the overall actual *drawing* that much.



That's...

I'm not talking a dragonball style "Okay Vegeta, all is forgiven let's put aside our personal fight and be best buddies now so we can fight Cell " situation.

More akin to a Star Wars. "Luke...

The whole thing is about 1100 pages, so... 18 page chapters.



If only he had a magic suit of armor that let him go beyond human limits. And if he had a sword infused with thousands of dead...
