Have you noticed, lately, or noticed people around you commenting, that there just seems to be no money anymore. There's no money for companies to make the tv shows you like, the video games you like, the local diner you like shut down, no one you know can find a job.

AI is now the biggest investment in all of US history as a percentage of GDP.
Datacenter construction is up, all other construction is down.
"AI Is Squeezing Out the Rest of the Stock Market," reported WSJ 2 days ago.
We basically bet the whole economy on the most optimistic visions panning out.

Part of why I don't like the AI-or-bust economy is the constant flopsweat of people on the news who say this HAS to work. Quit making everyone so anxious. Goddamn. If this is the next Google then why are you acting like this? I don't remember being told to buy an iPhone at gunpoint.

The Goku Yardrat Outfit SH Figuarts looks so nice. The face plate with the Roshi glasses looks great as well.

Wow Ichi from Ichi the Witch is getting a Nendorid figure after being in Weekly Jump for two years. It's going to be interesting to see how more popular Ichi the Witch becomes once it has an animated adaptation to it.

But it's also the story of a man who, as his late thirties turned over into his forties, became a standout creator in his field, beloved and respected internationally.

Yu-Gi-Oh!, like many of its manga peers, is the story of a high schooler overcoming obstacles and finding a friend group stronger than any physical might.

One can lament what was lost when Yu-Gi-Oh! became centered on an indefinitely marketable card game, but what was gained was, in my opinion, one of the most consistently solid artists that Weekly Shone Jump has ever seen. Horror, fantasy, teenage angst, all melded under his pen.

For Takahashi, it's clear that he's getting better and more confident. His line work is sharper and cleaner, his emotions more defined, his pacing more effective. He takes bigger chances with his art, allowing his arenas to sprawl out on the page. His monsters and expressions feel fearsome.

This contrasts sharply with something that often marks a creator's early manga - transformation. The narrative evolves, but so does the skill. That kind of cycle, that constant repetition and thought gives one practice like few other industries.

But there's more to it than that.
A manga author's life is a grinding one. The schedule is punishing, the expectations are immense, and the industry is hyper-competitive. It's easy to say a creators "fell off," but it's usually that they're crushed.

...and his stories, mostly anthological tales of supernatural karmic justice being distributed by a big-haired teenager's dark half, struggle with their pacing.
Just as famous is the fact that, once he introduced the "Duel Monsters game," the series took off in popularity. Readers loved it.

The early Yu-Gi-Oh! manga has received a thousand "Whoa, you didn't KNOW how DARK early Yu-Gi-Oh! was!" articles, but more important than that is the fact that Takahashi is still not perfect. His paneling is a little haphazard, his character designs are constantly off model...

Takahashi was thirty-five when Yu-Gi-Oh! began its serialization in Weekly Shonen Jump, a far cry from the stories of younger prodigies that made that leap in their early twenties. His life beforehand had been marked by poverty - his art was rejected numerous times.

Today would've been the sixty-fifth birthday of Yu-Gi-Oh! creator Kazuki Takahashi.
It tends to get swallowed up in the enormous franchise it became, but I truly believe that his original manga can provide a valuable lesson to artists about process and work and improvement over time.
