It could be a planet they found and attempted to colonize, with the story set long, long after.

You can never have enough Nihei, but I hope he uses at least a bit of ink on the serialized run. I get it, shit's all frozen but it sure is tiring to the eyes to try and discern anything in pure white art.

Bad news for you...
"Nihei: As my art style evolves, it changes what I want to draw. You can see that at the time I drew BLAME!, I really liked using a lot of black in my art. The early chapters are especially dark and black. But as the story progresses, you'll see that the artwork has less black in it. It's really tough work to paint all this black in the background. (laughs) Nowadays, I'm more into expressing things, telling stories just with lines."

Knowing Nihei, there's an extraordinarily strong chance that it *is* just the ship, and they don't even know it. That is the true, hidden plot of Abara, after all.

>>152659972
Ah, I'd lost that article; thank you for the link. There's one of the pieces of solid proof that Nihei lies at every turn for which I've been looking:
>I don't object to the bears being in the story, but I was just wondering why they're a recurring motif in your recent works.
>Nihei: They're not so cute, but bears have expressive faces. (pauses) I can't say the true reason why I draw bears… it's kind of a secret. (laughs)
>NOTE: In his spotlight panel at SDCC, Nihei was asked again, “Why bears?” His reply then? He laughed, then shook his head, and said ‘It has absolutely no meaning at all.’

Goddamn piece of shit.

He intentionally sold his soul for mass appeal. That's how you're supposed to interpret it. See here:

>I: The art in Knights of Sidonia does seem quite different from your previous work.
>Nihei: Yeah, I wanted the art to have a Tezuka-level mass appeal. I even considered changing my pen name when I was starting Knights of Sidonia. I wanted the story to be simple, too – nothing that would lose the reader.

Do you understand yet?

He has a family and bills to pay, I don't blame (no pun intended) him for doing what he done if it meant more money in the end of the month.

Also, authors are also humans, they mature over time and get tired of doing the same thing over and over again. Stop being a faggot and try to understand him a bit, also remember that he is in no obligation of pleasing your tastes with his work.

>remember that he is in no obligation of pleasing your tastes with his work
Didn't say that. He pretty explicitly said therein that he wanted his art to be popular - not good, not bad, not tailored to one style or another, just popular.

>He has a family and bills to pay, I don't blame (no pun intended) him for doing what he done if it meant more money in the end of the month.
That has nothing to do with selling his soul. Am I wrong for idly existing within my comfortable means, instead of spending all my free time donating and helping others? I would be neither right nor wrong in doing the latter in-and-of-itself. If I helped people because I thought that it ought to be done, I would not be doing any wrong. If I helped people because I wanted others to think better of me and because I wanted to be more popular, I would be selling my soul.

>... get tired of doing the same thing over and over again
Deadheads is not Blame. Blame is not Abara. Abara is not Digimortal. Digimortal is not Biomega.

If you wanted to do defend it properly you shouldn't be trying to make up excuses that are outside of his art for him. Does his statement correlate with a drop in quality? Does his work still have artistic merit? Those are the questions you should be bringing up to defend his position.

Are Izanafags still salty that all their shitposting blew up in their faces?

Nihei's art is sht now.

Cute robot.

I don't care about his reasoning (which is pretty petty to begin with), I hate this extremely washed out style. He draws digitally these days anyway, he has no excuse over "so much ink haha lol" anymore.

No, seriously, where the fuck is all the black gone? Why doesn't he use it anymore?

Yeah, it's refined but he doesn't care anymore so there's less commitment.

>>152667676
Maybe there is no excuse. Maybe he just likes it this way or finds it interesting to work like this.

I don't mind the minimalist style on this as a frozen world would be pretty monochrome anyway but god damn at least try putting some effort into the interiors.

Really? You can read Nihei's mind? That's incredible.

>>152668419
Yeah guys just eat up anything Nihei shits out without complaining. Bunch of faggots I swear.

>>152668654
No, I didn't say that, however it's pretty clear when you read his new manga.

>>152668686
So you're just making a dumb assumption then.

>>152668815
No, I'm speaking from having read his previous works, go back and look at them and compare them to this if you want, his environments were more impressive in those works with more shading and detail, that's my point. I do think his characters have improved a lot though.

>>152668419
Because those fans have been following him since the start and are actually invested in his work instead of only watching Sidonia on Netflix and moving on to the next seasonal meme show.
I actually had no problem with Sidonia's art and story,except its abrupt ending,but the art in his latest one-shot was in dire need of shading.

>>152668904
>his environments were more impressive in those works with more shading and detail,
That's your opinion and that's fine, but you shouldn't make assumptions regarding an artist's personal feelings based on your own personal feelings of his art work. You don't and can't know what Nihei thinks or feels, no matter how much you look at his drawings.

>>152668419
No, it completely lacks any kind of contrast making everything look flat and bland.

If you're going to keep mentioning that, let's disregard me supposedly assuming what Nihei is thinking then. It still doesn't change the fact that his previous works were more impressive because of the extra details that gave it some more of the much needed depth for the expansive environments. This is like a bare, stripped down version of what he used to do.

Why there's always these extremely simply minded, ignorant new fans that won't understand the difference between Nihei's previous work full of love and unique and Nihei's recent work standardized to cater to the masses like them with no effort by the author at all?

Can't they just get higher standards?
