Same leaker that leaked Historie and the Thunder 3 Anime said that Shaft and Sunrise will collaborate to adapt the Manga Fool Night.The anime will release as a Netflix exclusive this year, so it seems it will release this Fall.The director for the anime will be Yuuki Yase, he previously directed Mekakucity Actors, the first season of Fire Force and the first season of Undead Unluck.
>>288874560Is this the first time an ex-Shaft director returns to Shaft?Weird coincide the director of Symphogear returned to Satelight to adapt the upcoming Psyren anime.
>>288874560I've been reading it since couple days ago another Anon made a thread about this. I like the story so far. Yomiko is a better MC than Toshiro.>Mekakucity ActorsI remember this. If they can maintain the art style it will be great.
I'm surprised how little people care about this manga, it doesn't get dump threads and all of the leak threads barely got replies:https://desuarchive.org/a/thread/285122150/#q285122150https://desuarchive.org/a/thread/285125417/#285125417https://desuarchive.org/a/thread/288789011/#q288789011https://desuarchive.org/a/thread/288809294/#q288809294https://desuarchive.org/a/thread/288829495/#q288829495
>>288874633Well the director was able to be heavily stylized with Undead Unluck and he barely had any budget for that, this will be him with actual budget so I'm excited.
>>288874650I don't know what /a/nons care about. I guess there are just not a lot of people who read it who also post here.
>>288874723There isn't a lot of action in this manga, so maybe they can make the few scenes with Ivy more cool looking.
>>288874560I'm in like ch 70 now. I also started reading after seeing the last thread.Cons >Holyshit, this author suck at drawing fight scenes. I'm completely lost everytime someone's fighting.>the manga have a tendency to ignore the HUGE ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM. Toshiro was able to talk to plants after transfloration and no one in the manga question how the fuck he was able to do that. We don't see Yomiko nor the chief pondering or discuss it between them. They just went " okay, bro i need you to do something for me.">Personal opinion. Toshiro, bro. You cannot just sympathise with a 10 year old retard (who is completely justified btw) and then go "i can't forgive you for after you have killed so many people"Pros>every arc is different from one another and it's very refreshing each time.>Toshiro and Yomiko's chemistry is great. Tons of cool characters.> i really like the first piano arc and the ending to it.>the ending to the ivy arc is also good.I read it till ch 70. Im not planning to read anymore cause im sticking to the anime.
>>288874650/a/ itself kinda dead. Anime threads are the only ones with heavy discussions. Not so much for manga.
Well, it does not have hot girls, not too many action scenes, it's too dystopic, pessimistic, grimdark, corrupt, etc. It's more of a adult sci-fi detective story, which is not everyone cup of tea>>288874731>>288874650To be fair, sometimes there is manga that simply does not click with /a/nons, or simply does not gather enogh interest to read at the moment, at least not in dump threads on /a/search for Sun-Ken Rock storytime. I started it thinking it would at least get some traction considering how it's praised here. I ended up abandoning it halfway and no one batted an eyeBut in the end, it really isn't a good metric of how popular a manga really is.
>>288874650the only ongoing manga /a/ cares about are those published in weekly shonen jump and weekly shonen magazine, and stuff that was considered mainstream in weeb circles back in 2011
>shaftgreat>sunrisewhat? okay i guess>netflixfuck
>>288874650>>288874731What gets attention on /a/ is pretty random, something like Bugle Call got decently active threads on here before it started getting more attention or there was an even more niche monster classification manga I'm forgetting the name of that got very active threads here that I didn't see posted about anywhere else. I hadn't heard about Fool Night anywhere besides some general good manga threads on here
>>288874863I agree with you, also, I thought Akira was a girl at first. And his bodyguard is just a weird character, her son died and it's just not impactful for some reason I can't understand. The other character, Meg iirc, that's just misery porn thrown into the story, doesn't add up to the main cast because they're not close. I'm also at the same point in the story, it reminded me a lot of Pluto, atleast when they're searching for Ivy's origin. Yomiko is just wrong for even trying to fight against Glory Days party, it's her fuck up, why is she acting like a victim and blaming Ivy? Toshiro is too spineless, there's a scene where he was trying to say they should save Ivy and Yomiko shot him down immediately. Then he's retarded again and wants to kill the kid.
>>288875025>I thought Akira was a girl at firstYou don't know how disappointed i was when i realise this.
>>288874650because its good. most manga threads are shonen garbage, dragon ball and post-miura berserk. sometimes there are some good ones like the aria or mushishi ones though.
>>288874972There's Jump+ too, a few Sunday manga, Mieruko and Made in Abyss it still sucks how WSJ has become a shell of its former self after all of the competent editors were transferred to other Shueisha magazines.I wish more Square Enix manga got more discussion, at least the anime of SRI has made discussion of the manga more active but Ryuu to Chameleon and Fool Night hardly gets discussed outside of OPT.
I was reading this but then the mangadex purge happened and I forgot where I left off so I'll probably pick up again from where the anime leaves off.
>>288874925Eh, a 1/5th of /a/ feels like it's manga storytimes lol. Every board on 4chan is losing activity. I think /a/ will rebound if it's true that HxH and Bleach are going to be monthly manga again
>>288875063Good move.
>>288875048The dynamic with Toshiro and Akira was fun, with both of them bickering and then suddenly I realize it's a dude. And I stopped giving a shit.
>>288874723Will we get another season of Undead Unluck after he finishes with Fool Night
I saw Fool's Night mentioned a couple of times in quasi-manga recommendation threads and nowhere else. Not an /a/ specific thing, the manga is just incredibly niche which is why it's surprising it got an adaptation
>>288874575Specifically a director coming back I think so. Yase's actually returned a few times before this to storyboard/episode direct some stuff like an episode of Ninkoro. But apart from that a lot of the staff from the supposed "Shaft exodus" have come back in some way or another. Even Ryo Imamura that had a pretty bad falling out with the studio came back to do a cut on the last Monogatari season. Also here's an updated version of that graphic
>>288875106S2 already got announced.
>>288875106They did the sequel seasons of Fire Force without him so I assume they'd be fine to just to more seasons of that without him as well.
>>288875106A new season of Undead Unluck got announced, however everything that it changed studios from David Productions to E&H Productions. It seems David is having several budget issues and had to pass off the project despite them being the ones to approach the author to adapt it, the web special that released after the first season ended up changing staff and being done as a collaborative effort between the 2 studios but people believe the next season will be done by just E&H with the director that did the first season of Jujutsu Kaisen taking the helm instead.
>>288874560Between Historie, Hyakkano, Hikaru, Nippon Sangoku and now this getting adaptations I'm pretty happyIt's surprising that multiple seinens are getting decently budgeted adaptations, even more surpsing that Hikaru and Sangoku are getting 2 seasons
>>288875143Actually forget that I just remembered Shouji Saeki returned to the studio unfortunately
>>288874575>>288875403Suzuki returned for RWBY
>>288874560From the same leaker just now>UPDATE: From one contact, "Fool Night" director role is NOT ‘Yuki Yase’ by name but a different name on paper, probably due to adjustments from production side >For now, please take info of director with grains of salt until official announcement or further updates.Welp there goes a bit of my hype
>>288874560I thought they change sunrise's name
>>288875697No?
>>288875969Bandai film work or something.
>>288876035Wasn't that meant to be a new substudio?
>>288875697>>288876035I heard about that as well but I assume they just walked it back because of how retarded that'd be considering how much brand recognition the Sunrise name has
>>288875609Damn..
I dont think they would hype it up like this if it wasnt going to be a strong team
