Sounds like he doesn't have much left for HxH.

Thanks user.

Hmm? I didn't get that at all. He's still committed to finishing HxH first, which of course will never happen, because we'll all be dead before then.

Haha! They sound just like Miyamoto.

Miyamoto
>But talking over fundamental issues like Koizumi-san’s views on the importance of story, the function of stories in games and what kind of game Mario is, I learned something important.
Iwata:
And what was that?
Miyamoto:
>I realised that whether it’s story or movies, it’s not about whether we need them or don’t need them. What’s most important is that the game resonates.
Iwata:
What exactly do you mean?

Miyamoto:
>Unless you’re careful, there’s a tendency for games like Mario that can be played by children to gradually become childish. Those making the game tend to unconsciously make them that way. Taking how Mario’s line can be scripted as an example, they even propose to write, “Where’d my mommy go?”. When someone in their fifties like me hears their player-character speak childishly like that, it doesn’t quite sit right. After all, Mario wasn’t a game only for children in the first place. As I make a game, I try to keep in mind that guys in their fifties will play it, too. We go back and forth about other issues, as well. “Can we make Mario speak?” “No, Mario is the player, so he shouldn’t talk.” Like that. But he does say things like “mamma mia,” so someone will be like, “Wait wait... He’s talking, isn’t he?!” (laughs)

Iwata:
>(laughs)

Miyamoto:
>But that’s not necessarily a bad thing. When it comes to whether a game should be childish or less childish or Mario should talk or he shouldn’t…

Iwata:
>Those things aren’t essential.

Miyamoto:
>Exactly. I realised when I talked to Koizumi-san that those things aren’t essential. Whether or not the game world resonates with you as you’re playing the game is what’s most important. For example, when you watch a big-budget movie, you may be amazed by all the pyrotechnics, but at the same time, something isn’t quite hitting home with you.

kishimoto ripped most of his stuff from hxh.

>kishimoto
Literally kino mangaka.

I like Togashi's point about not obsessing about little details in the world at the beginning and allowing yourself to add and change small elements as they come to you

Also that little jab at this Isekai trend was interesting

Thx user =)

>Togashi Sensei: You're forced to draw every week.

>too sick to work
>not to sick to do interviews and play video games

Yes sitting and talking as well as playing video games are easier to do with back issues then being hunched over a desk drawing for hours

>Sitting on your ass vs sitting on your ass
kek

>in terms of pure illustration ability, a manga artist cannot beat an animator
Kishi laying down truths

So what to do? become an animator!
Like based Murata!

Kishi must know a thing or two about animators, no wonder he wanted Tetsuya Nishio to be the character designer for the Naruto anime.

They went ahead and talked about isekai. I was not expecting that.

Nice stuff. Better than the first half.

>Most are terribly boring
Nameless Editor doesn't hold back.

>jab at this Isekai
It was to Black Clover
If anything, Togashi knows one or two thing about Isekai given how much dragon quest he plays
