Okay, what’s this about?

Gundeath Carnival (血液爆発超暴力!ガンデスカーニバル ~Oblivion Nightmare Megakill Fantasia XXIII~ lit. BLOOD EXPLOSION ULTRA VIOLENCE! GUNDEATH CARNIVAL ~Oblivion Nightmare Megakill Fantasia XXIII~) is an action web manga about the virtual reality first person shooter (VRFPS) Gundeath Carnival, a game that, in the year 2027, ended all armed conflict all over the globe and turned all international territorial and resource conflicts into the world’s biggest E-Sport.

I intend for the manga to be a biweekly serial released on Batoto, Tapastic and MangaMagazine, with 20-30 pages every fortnight. The reason for me not considering a weekly schedule is because I am also a Computer Science major in university, and the weekly mangaka schedule (according to current working conditions) is too hectic to allow more than one day without work. As for “why not monthly,” I’d like to remain motivated enough to consistently put out good stuff, and a monthly schedule would force me into a ridiculously slow working pace that could potentially lead to a loss of interest and motivation. I don’t like that. That’s bad.

What’s with the ridiculously over-the-top title?

The alternate version of the title is an affectionate parody of ridiculously long Japanese visual culture titles such as “The Society for the Study of Modern Visual Culture”, “This Is the Police Station in Front of Kameari Park in Katsushika Ward”, and “No Matter How I Look at It, It's You Guys' Fault I'm Not Popular!”. Following in the footsteps of over-the-top anime and manga series such as “Heaven-Piercing Gurren-Lagann”, “Mobile Fighter G Gundam” and “Kill La Kill”, Gundeath Carnival aims to be as ridiculously over-the-top as over-the-top can be, while retaining its serious undertones and relevant themes.

Do you promote violence or something?

The manga does not, in any way, promote or glorify violence - as a matter of fact, I aim to drive the following points: WAR IS BAD, INTERNATIONAL CONFLICTS ARE VERY BAD, and SPORTS IS THE BEST WAY TO UNITE THE WORLD. By doing away with the concept of armed international conflicts and providing a viable alternative, the ‘world government’ aims to establish unity and peace throughout the world. Of course, such an ideal solution reaching its best conclusion would be unrealistic; this web manga aims to tackle, among others, the following issues:

Violence (specifically gun violence)

Corruption

Sportsmanship and unity

Gamer culture (and a subset, the ‘bro culture’)

Virtual reality and its implications

This may seem like a lot to tackle, but I’m hopeful that I will be able to carry my points across through this story. Being a gamer myself, a lot of the themes of this manga are a product of my experiences playing first person shooters, real-time strategy games and massively multiplayer online games, so there’s definitely a lot of things that hit close to home.

So what do you need the money for?

In order to resume my work on the comics, and to improve my workflow by mixing digital and traditional elements, I will need to gather $1500 to upgrade my current desktop computer and purchase a new graphics tablet. I'll also be using the money to obtain comic paper, pen nibs and inks.

Should the funding break through the initial goal, I will be using the extra money for MORE traditional art materials, so I can send Gundeath Carnival artworks straight to you!
