Speaking of pics, instead of using the printed autograph board, Murata-sensei redrew one from scratch and donated it for charity auction. The price is now NT$12,400 (US$376.53).  |

I was surprised to see that this question was not asked, either. |

If you're talking about more story of Eyeshield 21 then I can only tell you the story has ended two months ago; maybe there will be single-chapter mini-stories but no one knows (and I wouldn't hold my breath for them). If you're talking about new stories then: in fact I asked them to give us a hint about the story of their next serialization but the manager politely declined to comment. |

| I went to the Taipei Comic Exhibition in 2006. *fond memories*
I wish I could've gone this year- I'm a fan of Eyeshield 21! And it's a much smaller exhibition than one might expect- at least it was in 2006. I heard it about it that day, found the place, walked up to a lady and paid her about $10 US for a ticket and went in.  |

OMG! They never played football?! They totally sound like experts in the manga! I hope they do U.S. con appearances one of these days, too.  |

Eh? Are you sure you went to the right place? While the exhibition hall is rather small in American standard (external dimension: 93 x 71 m or 305 x 233 ft, measured with Google Earth), total visitors for 6 days exceeded 420K (that's over 70K a day in average; the fact was Saturday and Sunday always have over 100K a day), and the ticket should be NT$100 (US$3) each day (there's no multi-day pass). |

I want to know if the rumor that they will be doing a one shot in december involving back stories with characters like Shin, Riku, and Gaou is true? Someone has posted this on the eyeshield wiki page but I haven't seen proof that it's will be happening. |

I was talking of a new series, to continue the old one. I am aware it finished, and made my comment knowing that. I read the final chapter when it was published. The ending is left clearly open for at least a one shot continuation. Maybe they will revisit it in a few years, maybe not. But the story is there and can easily be continued. I wasn't too happy with how I felt it abruptly ended, anyways. |

Oh wait, you're definitely right about the ticket price.
I couldn't remember if it was NT$300 or 100 or you see, just knew it was cheap! Sadly, I don't think I have the ticket anymore just photos. Well it was kind of small, and there wasn't that much to look at so I left after a couple of hours and I think that's what most people did. It just didn't feel big but a lot of people probably passed through since it was right in a busy part of Taipei. In comparison to American cons, it felt more like a crowded dealer's room. Here are some images in case anyone is curious: http://smg.photobucket.com/ http://smg.photobucket.com/ http://smg.photobucket.com/ http://smg.photobucket.com/ |

| I have nothing but good memories from my time in Taiwan.
It is good to hear that the artists behind Eyeshield 21 helped out with the fans in Taiwan. I got to see some of the anime series when I had time. I hope this sport catches on in Japan and Asia. |

That's true... Of course, when you have a sport like soccer that is a national obsession, it kinda hard to introduce a sport that may seem foreign to them.( Like when you watch Curling during the olympics and asked yourself, Is that even a real sport!?) Hopefully the series will perk interest in asia. It was also nice they helped with Taiwan recent problem. I hope they raise a lot of money for relief efforts. I really wish Crunchyroll would offer the anime as a pay to download however, I emailed them and they said that they only have the rights to broadcast it as a stream. So I guess they would have to go to the studio directly and ask them if they could work a deal with them the same way they did with Toei. |
