• Berserk resumes serialization on June 25th, under the supervision of Miura's assistant, Kouji Mori. My friend put it best when she said that regardless of the end product's quality, what's most important is it may lend those who loved and worked closely with Miura a chance to work through their grief and attain a sense of closure.
Kouji Mori also did a one-shot manga encapsulating his friendship with Miura, and if you want a good cry, even if you've never read Berserk, a Twitter user kindly provided a few heartwrenching pages from it. Here's where you can read the rest.
• Death Stranding... 2...? The original interview prompt was "Okay, so you got the book going on, you’ve got the final season coming out, then the spinoff, and you’re filming Death Stranding, the video game." to which Reedus responded with "We just started the second one." No word from Kojima, besides being Kojima.
I don't think Death Stranding needs a sequel at all, but I'm interested. Partly because I loved the first game so much, partly because I trust Kojima to make a sequel that doesn't tread familiar ground and goes somewhere insane instead.
• Mob Psycho III trailer launch. Old news by now, but this entry would be incomplete if I didn't mention Mob. I watched this trailer drop the best way aka cozied up next to my partner on the couch when she visited last month.
• Resident Evil 4 Remake trailer launch. I'm of the majority that believes 4 doesn't need a remake, but I'm excited for this. Leon in the 2 remake has been my favorite iteration of the character, and I'd love to see them continue in that vein of consistency. This means probably definitely scrubbing the original 4 of its over the top camp presentation, which I'd normally be vehemently opposed to, but in this case? I want to see it do its own thing. The best kind of remake is the kind that lets the original stand distinctly on its own. Think Invasion of the Body Snatchers 1956 vs the 1978 remake, or Suspiria 1977 vs the 2018 remake--both great movies, both wholly different flavors of horror.
But I'm easy. I just want them continue what they did in 2make by injecting 1000% more pegging energy into the Ada/Leon scenes.
• POSSIBLE THIRD WARRIOR'S GUILD BOOK?!!?! I know I said in my thoughts on His Sacred Incantations that I was satisfied with Lucian and Glory's story ending but also MORE MORE GIVE ME MORE.
