Glad to hear he's ok.

Looks like Kazuki sensei had a ramble about the earthquake...

震災

災害で亡くなられた方。

未だ行方のわからない方々。

避難所で今この瞬間も、身を寄り添い
凍え、食料さえまともに 口に出来ない
被災者の方々。

テレビで繰り返し流される自然災害の脅威。

それらの映像に震え、息を飲み、身を凍らせようが、
おれはまとも過ぎる食事を摂ることも、
身を包み暖をとることも出来る。
その日々あたりまえの行為がいかに価値あることであろうか。

オレは、我々は、皮肉にも人々や町の断末魔を
目にしなければ、その価値にさえ気付かないのだろうか。

原発の危機管理、政治の無策、マスコミへの非難。
それらすべても、
オレの、我々の集合意識の一部なのかも知れない。


自然の猛威によって、かつてない過酷の試練に
立ち向かっている被災者の方々。

被爆を覚悟し、核施設で必死に働いてくれている人々。

災害現場で懸命の救出活動をしている自衛隊、ボランティアの方々。

オレも、我々も誇り高き集合意識と共にありたい。
オレも、我々も試されているのだ。
オレも、我々も立ち上がり、
必ずこの国を復興させる事ができると信じている。

Yeah, I posted some sort of poor machine translation in the "Devastating Tsunami...." thread.

Check out this incredible picture!

Wow! Picture is amazing! Loving the fact that Marshmallon is in it, I've always liked him

New art for the Silent Monsters, Gandora, Stronghold and Marshmallon? Never thought I'd see that. Badass, Takahashi. I'd love to see a massive version of that picture.

There a new blog entry. According the machine, It seems they try to work on the dubbing and animation but there a lot of difficulties in transports.

Spoiler: OCN unprofesional translation

A J producer has come the other day.
I have come to get a design of a monster, a production site of an animation also seems to be very as expected by influence of an earthquake disaster.

Mr. taking pictures staff who can't arrive at a site by disorder of transportation.
Such as it isn't possible for the people of a cast to gather in a postrecording site, too, and the record can't help be postponed.

But when thinking of the person in a disaster area pressing a severe life as concentrating the power by everyone and creating a work hard because it was such situation, a J producer was telling hot that every kind of difficulty was got over.

I think really so.
Everyone will exert himself! (Kazuki)

It's not like this will help, but still.........


The newest illustration by Takahashi:

Awesome.

I'm diggin' the Silents' new color scheme.

Any bit bigger and it might burst. PS can only do so much.

Hmmm delicious Silent Magician.... Loving the altanate color scheme.

Tkahashi's New Year image with Yugi & Dark Yugi now with better quality - http://www.studio-dice.com/dice/imag...r/dice2011.jpg / http://img832.imageshack.us/img832/1598/dice2011.jpg

EDIT: I aksed Wslasher if he could try making a vector version of the image with Yugi&monsters. At least the quality will be better. We'll see if it'll be possible of course.

I'll try what I can do guys, I never really tried vectorizing very detailed artwork such as this.

Go remind me from time to time because I'm currently working on a very detailed vector trace so I tend to forget.

We don't want to sound insolent by reminding you, but since we have your permission... xD But as I already told you - if nothing can be done, then don't bother. I hope Takahashi will release larger version of this illustration.

That...is...awesome
I can't see the gallery from the computer I'm on now, but I'm loving the picture with all of little Yugi's monsters ^ ^

Jesus- This guy is freaking amazing. Without a doubt, Kazuki Takahashi has made an everlasting impact in game-based manga history. Just looking at that image alone, a person who's never read YGO can think "Wow, this manga looks like it's about way more than a game." To have that effect through his art is just phenomenal.

A new entry on the site for the end of 5d's. He said the hope for the future is very important and we must believe in the light of the shine future. He said congratulations for all the team during these three years. And thanks to all fans for their support.

Link here: http://www.studio-dice.com/dice/mypage/138-5ds.html

Heh, I just thought of something.What if Aspiring King Hope actually represents "the hope of the future" for the series and Yuma carries it? It's like Takahashi is saying, "Look guys, I know this new series isn't what you're used to seeing but bear with it."

A new entry about Zexal. I'm not sure for this part of the entry but he annouces there apparently an article on the series in the Weekly Shonen Jump 18. He recall the date of the anime realease, Monday 7:30.

Here the link: http://www.studio-dice.com/dice/mypage/139-zexal.html

- Don't worry Kaz, we'll give it a chance...."by all means"

ZEXAL is finally here,
And it's kattobingu countdown is underway!

I hope that everyone out there looks forward to seeing what the su~per energetic Yuma has in store.

Mizuki-kun's manga of Yugioh ZEXAL will be being published in the 18th issue of Weekly Shonen Jump. And it's the apperance of a mysterious character! I myself am extremely excited!

It starts it's broadcast run on Monday, 7:30!
Kattobingu~! (Kazuki)

Zexal manga going weekly now? Thought it was staying in V-Jump because it did force GX to end early.

Or it'll stay in V-Jump, but we'll have one more special chapter. It got a little confusing.

Has it been officially stated GX was axed early due to Zexal?

Even if that's the truth, I doubt someone will officially announce it.

GX having its plot being kicked into overdrive, with many duels being glossed over, is pretty much concrete evidence that GX ran into its conclusion earlier than it should have.

I don't think Kageyama planned to have Planet Series pop out one after another like that. @_@

A very loong entry on the blog about Zexal. It's enough unusual. Please, can you translate? ^^

When this awesome guy is going to update his gallery?

Heh....well....anyway.

Spoiler: OCN unprofessional machine translation

Playing king ZEXAL has started!
Did you see, everyone?

The atmosphere also changed to this series with GARA, so I think everyone's opinion of a fan is also various.
But further down also seems to be a playing king tightly, and I plow and go, so I want you to expect it!

I had them make them judge the form that the other characters are moving including Yuba from this televising, too, that I'm filled with deep emotion once more.

The character which was drawn and stopped in a sketchbook by chance before about 1 year and a half was astral actually, and I wasn't thinking the beginning is taken out for a playing king, if a worldview is rising gradually, well, it's with this! .
I drew and handed to an animation staff the main character in front of about 10 months old.

It was an encounter with Yuba and others since that, so it was the feeling that they think it's moving around vigorously on the screen and are happy!
At the same time, that the animation staff is wonderful as expected!

An opening and an ending were a song psycho!

Everyone look forward to the achievement by which future Yuba is Bing angrily every week, too, please!
(Kazuki)

What? So Astral exists for 1 year and a half already, while Yuma was drawn about 10 months ago?! ⊙.⊙ Aweee, I definitely want translation when is possible.

ZEXAL is underway! Did all of you manage to catch it?

The series this time around has took a sudden shift in tone, so I would think many fans have varying opinions on it, but please hold out hope, since it'll power through from here on out the way Yugioh should!

Even for me, with this week's broadcast, I watched the other characters, including Yuma, moving around, it made me state how profoundly impressed I was again.

The character that I would occasionally pause in drawing in my sketchbook about half a year ago would actually be Astral. At first, I didn't think of putting him in a Yugioh series, but once my view on the world gradually opened up, it made me say "Ah, yeah, it'd be okay!" About ten months ago, I drew the main characters and graciously handed them off to the anime staff.

As we'll have more encounters with Yuma the the others in the future, seeing them move all around the small screen filled my heart with joy! And at the same time, it made me think how awesome the anime staff is!

The opening and ending songs were also really awesome!

I hope that everyone please look forward to what kattobingu-filled action Yuma has in store each week!

I'm glad Takahashi is accepting that Zexal is pretty hard to stomach for many fans. As Siliva said, I hope this comment is more than just the standard generic promotion. It's so hard to doubt ol' Takahashi...

Wow...Astral was made years ago?

I wish we actually heard Toriyama's opinion on the actual stories and cards of the spin-offs rather than just the characters he designs. Well, if he even watches the spin-offs. But his honest opinion would probably be bad publicity if he were to ever say anything bad regarding the later works. Could you imagine? "Z-ONE is Yusei from the future of killer Synchro robots? I would never do anything like that in the original YGO that ran in Weekly Jump! My job would've been flushed down the drain!"

I wonder if Kazuki knows that part of the reason why his creations are so popular is because his animated teenage/adult women have boobs bigger than F.G.D.'s attack power *points to anniversary DMG*.

Takahashi seems pretty excited about this series. I wonder if the work he had on ZeXal actually reminded him, more or less, of the time he worked on DM.

I like more the fact he drew Astral just to draw him, rather than being told to for the new Yugioh series. Once he decided Astral was fine for Yugioh, he agreed to give it to the anime studio.

Zexal放映開始！
2011年 4月 13日(水曜日) 15:25 | 作者： 高橋 和希 | |
遊戯王zexalが始まりました！
皆さん見てくれたかな？

今回のシリーズも雰囲気がガラッと変わったので、
ファンの皆さんの意見も様々だと思います。
でも、この先もしっかり遊戯王らしく
突き進んで行くので期待してほしいです！

オレも今回の放映で、遊馬をはじめ
他のキャラクター達が動いてる姿を
見させてもらったんだけど、あらためて
感慨深いな〜と。

１年半くらい前にたまたまスケッチブックに
描きとめておいたキャラクターが実は
アストラルで、最初は遊戯王に出すことは
考えてなかったのですが、だんだん世界観が
膨らんできたら、あコレありだわ！と。
10ヶ月くらい前に主なキャラクターを
描いて、アニメスタッフにお渡ししました。

それ以来の遊馬たちとの出会いなので、
彼らが画面で元気に動きまわってるの見て、
うれしい気持ちになりました！
同時に、やはりアニメスタッフはすごいな〜と！

オープニングもエンディングも曲サイコ〜でした！

これからの遊馬のかっとビングな活躍を
皆さんも毎週、楽しみにしていて下さい！
（和希）

ラジオ会館
2011年 4月 22日(金曜日) 17:15 | 作者： 高橋 和希 | |
先日、仕事の打ち合わせついでに
ダイススタッフで久しぶりに
秋葉に行ってきました。
なんか真っ先に驚いた、外人いねぇ〜！

ラジオ会館を徘徊して、フィギュアとか
カードショップとかいろいろ見てきて
面白かった。
コトブキヤさんのブラマジガールとか
ウインドウ越しやっぱ出来いいよな〜と
しげしげ。仕事場にも同じの飾ってあるけど

でも、残念な事に、ラジオ会館も
ビルの老朽化で立て直すらしく
近く解体してしまうそうです。
もう築後５０年近く経過してるらしい。
なんか寂しいっすね。

おっと今日はこれから
5D'sの小野監督と食事会なのだ！（和希）

Something about a radio hall and that Kaz will be at a dinner with 5D'S director Katsumi Ono. But that's what OCN tells me, which isn't very accurate.

Spoiler: Google Translator

Radio Kaikan
April 22, 2011 (Friday) 17:15 | Author: Takahashi Kazuki | |
The other day, then we arrange the work
Dies after a long staff
I went to Akiba.
First and foremost something surprising, not pull foreigners ~!

Looking around the hall to the radio, or figure
Many come to see or Kadoshoppu
Interesting.
Kotobukiya's like Buramajigaru
I thought I made ​​it through a window from ~
Shige Shige. I have decorated the same workplace

But unfortunately, even Radio Kaikan
The aging building 立Te直Surashiku
Yes they dismantled soon.
After dating for over 50 years seems longer.
Thats something sad.

Oh and today is yet to come
5D's dinner is a director of the Ono!

Lol at the last phrase

I've always wondered, for future anniversaries, since Kazuki drew all of the cards from the DM arc, what other cards should he draw to commemorate GX, 5Ds, or maybe more from DM? I would choose the 4 normal elemental hero monsters, the signer dragons, and probably another Kazuki original like Taro.

Well we're still waitng on that Osiris/Slifer card to come out, which Kazuki will hopefully do the art for.

But some alternate art signer dragons would be cool. Some of the normal elemental heroes like Burst lady and Sparkman already got alternate art, So I'd prefer it if Neos or some of the fusions got alternate art.

Question, were the alt arts Burst and Spark made by Kazuki?

Oh wow, these are pretty interesting. Wish I'd found these sooner when they were still relevant. Oh well.

A new entry on te blog. He mentions he like the Americans comics in the first part. It's soon the first anniversary of the website. He work on his udpate. Apparently, he will release a homepage to Zexal. He mentions, I think, there is a lot of reactions about the series. (Are they positive or negative...?)There issues about the possibility to continue Button. (That's true there no udpate of the story for longtime, I wish to know how the story will continue).

Here the link: http://www.studio-dice.com/dice/mypa...-05-23-50.html

Seems like Takahashi not only will make new section for Zexal, but also the title homepage for the website will have ZeXal themed illustration. OCN isn't accurate translator, but still I pretty much liked the pic with Yugi&Gandora. Let's hope he'll save it as an update to the DM gallery. It'd be a pleasure for me to merge it. The pic is too aesome to remove it like this.

Takahashi had a new blog entry:

１周年！
2011年 5月 01日(日曜日) 13:21 | 作者： 高橋 和希 | |
G,Wのようですが、相変わらず外にも出ないで、
アメコミ読んでます。
今、俺ん中でキてますよ〜！アメコミ！

とゆーわけで、このホーム・ページを開設して
１周年を迎えることが出来ました。

かなりだらだら〜とした更新状況ではありますが、
見に来て頂いてるファンの皆さま、ホント感謝しております！

この１年は長く感じた気がします。いろいろありました。
ZEXAL企画中時期のホーム・ページ立ち上げだったのですが、
今はアニメが始まってホッとしています。　　

お便りの中にBUTTONの続きついての質問がたまにありますが、
しばらく更新をお休みさせていただいております。
楽しみにして下さっていた皆様、すみません。
いつか、また復活させられるよう頑張ります。

これから少しずつホーム・ページを
リニューアルしようと考えてます。

未発表のイラストとか、ZEXALの設定なんかも
公開する予定です。あとボツ設定とかも！
また、新しい企画も進行してますので、
楽しみにしていただけたらと思います。

とりあえず２年を目指してやって行こうと
思いますので、これからもよろしく〜！（和希）
