Two Things · 2:28am Aug 12th, 2015
1. Blue and I have talked; as it's his universe, he's decided that we're not going mature. As much as it would be easier for me at certain points, this is all about Sunset, not the violence. Besides, there's still going to be more than that.
2. If I realized how visual this part of the series was going to be, I would have announced an October launch in order to do more artwork. Believe me, there will be points where there's going to be art that I don't have time to do that would have been perfect for the story.
PERSONA!!
Ahem. Arts. I'm here for the Sunny and the arts. Mainly the Sunny.

Not familiar with Persona.
However, if you want a hint:
The only live-action series Icebox ever did.

San Angeles?
Understandable in regards to dialing things back a little bit for 7DSJ book IV... on the same token, I feel that it might be a bit creatively stifling if you don't go all the way out. And it can actively harm the story if you're working with theme's that are better delt with using a mature rating, but you tone it down to fit a lower rating. [See pretty much ANY PG/PG13 horror film.]
That's not to say it can't work mind you, just that you do have to take into consideration that it COULD hurt the story. I have faith in your ability to work within the confines Shin... and in a way, maybe you can take that darkness from what's left behind in 7DSJ, and work it into AAG. Which I LOVE your work with AAG and I'm looking forward to more. Plus I guess you could always take some of this and get it spun into a sidestory or something.
Regardless, you just keep getting the hypetrain rolling on this, and it's got me super excited to read some more. Looking forward to it.

San Angeles was just one of the websites attached to said project. You'll have to dig a little deeper.

The Hanged Man?
3313583
Yup. Dig deeper.
(And if you can find any of the old eps, let me know, because I found the series fascinating.)
3313591
Can't find any episodes, surprisingly.

Keep trying.
Personally I don't care about the artwork, I just want the story instead to read.
Not going to lie bro the more and more you talk about wanting this to be violent and mature the less and less interested I get.

And you are example number two as to why going over the line would be bad. (No offense meant, of course.)
It's going to be dark and brutal. It was always meant to be so. But it can be those things without being mature.

No, the art should complement the story, not subsume it. Besides, if I go that far, I'll end up animating whole sections.
