ShiftyLook Shutdown

TimoKitsune · March 13, 2014, 11:20:24 AM

Just out of curiosity, but I wonder how the great Hitoshi Ariga feels about this whole issue?

Certainly, given his experience with making manga for Megaman, it wouldn't surprise me in the least if this kind of thing is nothing new. -_-

Though on a brighter note, I just realized that he does have a deviantART account. Me and a friend of mine who thrives here don't have an account anymore, but I'm sure anyone else letting him know through there personally about our thoughts would be a good place to start.

He also has a personal page and a Facebook, apparently. I'll link all those pages below for people to check out.

It's not the most impacting route to go, but every little step should at least count.

Since there's a chance of the Klonoa webcomic pages being removed when Shiftylook website is down, I will likely create a page for fans to view and browse through the comic pages of the official Klonoa comic.

I've been rescuing the pages myself, as well as other ShiftyLook webcomics. Even the Japanese version of the comic so far is rescued, so I can send you a link or something if necessary.

No need. I've saved all of the pages, and will save the last one later on.

Thanks for saving pages, guys. I'd hate to see them lost when the site goes down.

It's truly a shame to see the site shut down so soon. Klonoa's comic started just last year! I wish I had posted on the forums more.

Truly saddening.

Actually, it started in 2012.

Weird. Doesn't seem like it's been that long. I guess time flies.

Nope. The comic was paused between season 1 and 2, so it wasn't really lasted 2 years.

How long was it paused? Do you remember?

Edit:

Looks like there was a lapse in strips between seasons 1 and 2 that lasted from March 20 to July 31, 2013. Oh, well.

This does sadden me to know the one thing keeping Klonoa alive is shutting down. The little guy just never seems to catch a break.

and I was hoping SO much that since Bandai Namco are working on the new Super Smash Bros. he'd have another shot of getting into a videogame.

If shifty look does completely shut down I'm going to feel really depressed.
