Yeah. I rather be cautious with all the disapointement we had.
But I can't help but feeling optimistic when I see a news about D.Gray-man xd
"Maybe because the only proof that her issues are real are her words alone. Especially considering that while DGM was on hiatus for her health issues, SHE WAS DOING ART FOR FUCKING VALRAVE!
You are going to have to excuse me if I No longer believe a single word she writes down. "
Cmon. Do you really think she would blatantly lie to the audience? Even the names of the illness have been stated (norovirus and neck injury). This is not because she did some chara design during her convalescence that she had enough energy to continue a big project like D.Gray-man.
"As far as I can tell she wants DGM to die with a whimper. To fade from people's memory by trickling the content like she did in this chapter. To avoid the vocal backlash if she were to just outright announce she's taking the axe to the series herself. ."
Definitely not. I don't know if you followed her when she was on instagram but it was clear she really cares for the series and her characters and genuinely wanted to continue it, supported by the support encouragements. If she wanted that we forget D.Gray-man she wouldn't even had opened such an account and let alone allow us to see some of her private life.
Moreover, regarding the poor content we had this last year, I think this is not on Hoshino. You can see that EVERYTHING D.Gray-man related was cancelled or postponed. Even the things she had absolutely no bearing on like Hallow DVDs, or Lavi's figurines.
I think there is a administrative issue. I blame the people in charge for awful miscommunication and letting us compeltely in the dark about the status of the series and playing with us by giving us ridiculous "7 page "chapters.
