Always sad when a stoyteller dies mid project. I mean if your lucky there might be notes and people they were close too who they share there idea's with.. but finishing it as intended without a serous loss of quality is nigh impossible.

I'm already familiar with that already, the creators of Superman and their family was even involved in a huge legal dispute with DC over the copyright for Superman. In Japan, often the manga creator would sign over the management of the copyright to their work to the publisher. I did some research about who own the copyright to manga and found this research paper about it. http://facweb.cs.depaul.edu/noriko/JapanTrip08/JETRO-market_info_manga.pdf (Page 5 is when they talk about who own the copyright) So even through the manga publisher has control over the work, they still don't take a story and pass it around from one person to the next like in America. So just because a company can legally do something, that doesn't mean that they should do it. Just look at all the direct-to-video Disney sequels as a example. Although it possible for something good to come out of the system that DC and Marvel is using, a lot of people have no idea what going on in the American superhero comic environment. These comics have been going on for a long time, a bunch of people are involved, they are constantly changing, etc. The American superhero comic environment just got too convoluted for many people. That kind of reason many people gravitated to manga, the original creator begin the story and they often end the story. |

I agree. I was always on the lookout for updates ever since it went on haitus and was heartbroken when he died cause I knew it was never coming back.
I wouldn't want anyone to continue the story. The author is dead so the story is dead too. As the editor said no one else could tell it in the way the original author could that made it famous in the first place. Even if you continue it with the same name and artist it's still a completely different story. |

Cant believe I didn't notice the article sooner. My vision is getting worse. And my guess back then about vol 14 was right when I first read it. Shoji intentionally made it look like a zombie apocalypse even though spoiler[they werent actually zombies in the traditional zombie movie sense anyway] as a throwback to HOTD.

Well that came out of nowhere. I'm sure some people would be happy with just adapting it as Inazuma, but I'd get his continuation in any case.
The guy worked with him and manages Traige X alone, so I'd think Sato would be the one most suitable here. |

jeez. I liked HOTD and it was entertaining, but get over yourselves, it's not Miyazaki, it's not Deathnote, Slam Dunk, or even commercial behemoths like Love Live, if any of them stopped half way, I can understand the pressure, but HOTD is at best an entertaining cliche ridden parody(HOTD is a paradoy of Dawn of the Dead, which in itself a parody...wait a minute folks, we seem to have an inception of the dead here...), at worst, yet another anime with gigantor boobs we don't need
if people want closure, a noble sentiment which i can perfectly relate, then just write the damn thing and let it be over with. |

You know, I actually had no idea that the manga story writer was dead. O_O;
I knew the series went on hiatus years ago because of some weird commotion which caused the manga duo to quit for a while, but I just figured that was the reason we weren't getting any new chapters. Not because the manga writer's health was in pretty bad condition. Wow. I guess HOTD will just be one of those "limbo" series from now on. |

Sometimes unsatisfactorily and in this case not at all. |

You are completely wrong! Do you know that currently there is an ongoing petition for HSOTD to be given to another studio/Author to have both the Manga and Series completed? I bet you don't. The first time I saw the post only 5000 people had signed But now there are over 47k Supporters! So speak for yourself only and don't say others are not interested, cause there are people (me included) trying seriously to bring the series back. If you don't believe me you can check it out for your self here https://firstinfosite.com/2018/12/27/latest-trending-anime-news-highschool-of-the-dead-season-two-petition-update-december-2018/ |

It's sad but I think it's what the author would have wanted. No regrets.
