Why did Ryutaro Nakamura have to die before Despera was released?
>>140987805
It'll never live up to the hype. Might as well never release it.
Was the LN translated yet?
>>140987805
>Despera will never be released
>Dream Machine will never be released
>OPUS will never have a proper ending
>Another Lady Innocent episode 2 never
It's like we only live to suffer
>>140987805
Abe killed him

I'm not sure that Despera's the kind of thing that is possible to 'hype'. I just really want it to be released however good or otherwise it turns out.
I'm losing hope though. It's been so long without any word of what's going on that I wouldn't be surprised if it does officially get cancelled.

ABe is too busy teaching his son about cute anime girls to have done anything of the sort.
>>140987805
They claim they're still going through with it. 2017 kickstarter, screencap.
>>140992397
>ABe will leave us a successor to carry on his legacy of godlike character design
>>140992413
Have they said it again after they said that they were looking for a new director? If not then that was a hell of a long time ago with no word since.
>>140992397
That's the cutest thing. He has good taste in boats too.
>>140997266
He does indeed.

>>140998381
Fucking boatshit
>>140992397
>okay, draw Medama-Oyaji next
Based son.
>>140999056
If it gets him drawing cute girls, I couldn't care less where they're from. I absolutely love ABe's art.
>>141000606
His older artbooks were full of cute original characters, his boat comics are so flat and textureless they might as well be Ryushika web releases
>>141000959
He still seems to do things more in his old style whereas his boat stuff seems to be a lot less serious and time consuming.
>>141003017
Why don't they just get a new director? If it really is as good as its made out to be, then multiple people would be pushing for it. But as it stands, it looks to be dead and bunk.
There's also dreaming machine. :/
>>141003304
It's not the kind of project that has a lot of backers from the industry.
Also, according to Wikipedia:
At Overload 2014, ABe announced that a new director was found to continue working on Despera.

I will dump here some Despera artwork from ABe.
It makes me so sad this never came to be. Raidou games gave me a love for that 1920's Japan setting and I'd love to see more stuff in that setting. Was the light novel any good?

First chappy.
A tripfag ain !a22O0sv6Ng is working on it.
Thats about it folks.
>>141008446
Is there a .rar file for all these?
I wonder if this never came to fruition thanks to ABe never being paid a single yen for his work. Nor anyone else tied to the project, for that matter.
>>141008386
Isn't he a little bit too young to drink?
>>140987805
Well I think the project was initially put on-hold because he was sick and they were waiting for him to get better, so I don't think he was ever going to have a chance to finish it himself in the first place.
>>141003304
It was a lot easier to get ABe/Ueda/Nakamura projects made back in the late 90/s/early 2000s when there were studios like Madhouse willing to take a chance on weird, artsy stuff that wasn't going to make them much money. I can't imagine there are too many studios/directors interested in spearheading a project that's almost guaranteed to not turn a profit.
>>141008641
Never thought about that.
Uploading right now.

Sorry anon but that is a girl.
>satoshi kon is dead

Who's next?
>>141009298
Don't

>I can't imagine there are too many studios/directors
I'm sure there are some, but unfortunately they're swallowed by the overwhelming mentality of the industry.
Just looking at the crap that gets spewed out season by season, with next to no emphasis on the artistic and intellectual makes me utterly sick. The average audience has no taste whatsoever.
Here is the zip for >>141008641 and sorry for taking so long
