I'm happy to announce that the TWEWY 2: Manhattan trailer is now completely finished and viewable on youtube! And after watching, check out my channel! My username on youtube is uppercut42. Also, check out FreeRunful's channel. He's a pretty cool dude, and even provided a picture for the trailer.
Trailer
Now for an update. The series premiere of TWEWY 2: Manhattan is March 1st. Starting then, I'm going to attempt uploading daily Noise Reports, Pins, items, concept art and more to deviantART. Yes, I did just say daily. That means that if people are getting impatient because I'm not releasing content, they can rest easy. I WILL be releasing content. I'm still making a deviantART account. But on March 1st, I plan to upload several pieces of concept art to go along with the Pilot episode. And after that, new pieces of TWEWY 2 related art will be uploaded daily from then on, probably until the series is over or until I run out of Noise, Pin and item ideas. Whichever comes first.

Scrambling
It's becoming increasingly obvious that getting a quality trailer out by Sunday may be out of the question, but that's not going to stop me from trying. Plus, this is probably the best week for me to get this done, because the extent of my hardest schoolwork, which requires the most attention, will be finished by the end of this week. Of course, that's cutting it close, though, but I should have a good enough trailer. After the trailer is released, I can focus on finishing the first episode of the series, which I do have a release date planned for. And after February is over, my life's easy going again, and the highest stress-inducing work is over. Then I can donate a good 85% of my time towards making this comic.
That release date for the first episode of TWEWY 2: Manhattan is March 1st, 2010! So be ready for it in a couple weeks!

Details
It came to my attention when planning this series that it would be a more entertaining comic with music. That being said, the obvious thing to do would be to use the TWEWY soundtrack in the episodes. The soundtrack is being collected and downloaded, so that I can actually use them as audio tracks in Windows Movie Maker.
As for quality details, I'm hoping that won't be a problem to begin with and that the images won't look blurry. However, I'll make any quality changes necessary if need be.
Within the comic, there are other minor details that TWEWY fans will notice right away. Tribute lines, spoofs... even 1 brand made it from the first TWEWY into my version of Manhattan (as a joke, of course)!

What you're getting into
My main beef with what I'm doing is that, despite the fact that I'm making this in Windows Movie Maker, is that most likely people will criticize my artwork. I'm not drawing Neku, or anyone from the first TWEWY. I'm making my own characters. Not only will it make a whole new story, but it'll also make it harder for people to say I did a bad job at drawing my own characters. Although I'm sure someone will find a way. There's always someone.
Just so you know what you're getting into, here's a preview. I drew these sometime in late 2008 or early 2009. If you don't like these, rest assured, my artwork has gotten better. Plus, I don't think these are that bad.
The characters pictured here will NOT be appearing in TWEWY 2: Manhattan, but I think it's about time I gave some names of the characters who WILL be. The 2 main characters are named Nate and Jake (the character Nate being inspired by myself, the character Jake being inspired by my friend who helped support my idea, FreeRunful on youtube). There's also Sadie, Krissy, CT, Christopher, Tony, Amelia, and of course others. But hey, I can't give it all away. You're not even supposed to know this from the trailer! Good things happen to my blog followers.

Trailer In the Making
Right now, the trailer to TWEWY 2: Manhattan is in the "work-in-progress" stage. It's being put together, arranged in a format that will hopefully not spoil anything, but still be enough to attract viewers to it. Of course, that's how all movie and video game trailers are intended to be (The trailer for the Last Airbender, however, fails at attracting my attention).
The trailer still requires much more work than I would have preffered. It's being made in Windows Movie Maker, which as I'm sure plenty of its users know, makes seemingly easy tasks much more tedious than hoped for. Still, I want to make it a good looking trailer, so all of that tedious work I'll just have to put up with. WITH EVERY EPISODE. But ignore my complaining. I knew the difficulties going into this, so I'll stick with it.
Finally, the trailer itself probably won't last longer than 3 minutes in length. Sure, that doesn't sound like very much, but remember that this creation is in comic form. You're just going to see pictures that won't stay on screen for very long. I can't do impressive animations or cutscenes like the ones in The World Ends With You, making this trailer, most likely, much less to look at. Plus, I don't color my comics, which means they'll all be black and white. Sure, it's a lot to put up with, but nitpicking won't get you anywhere with me.

What it's all about.
Well, here's some info on TWEWY 2: Manhattan. I came up with the idea of a Reapers' Game taking place in New York. I've been drawing comics for quite a few years now, and I thought, "Hey, I could turn this idea of mine into a comic." Ok, maybe that's not what I thought exactly. But, I got the idea and shared it with my friend. He thought it was cool, and after I got some more done, we decided we could put it on youtube and it might become something big. Just a hope for now, but maybe.
Storywise, its 2 most main characters were inspired by myself and my friend. His youtube user name is FreeRunful. Check out his profile. He's a pretty cool dude. Anyway, back to story. The Reapers' Game has a few new rules in Manhattan, of course, but it shares many of the same. There'll be new pins, new psychs, new brands and a new story entirely. Big-time TWEWY fans should like what they'll see.
