Kouji Mori made an illustration of Guts and Miura for the exhibit
They were letting people in groups of 120. I’m not sure if every ticket had a time slot but most of the first tickets did. Forces was blaring on in the background so you’re just listening to that while looking at amazing original manuscripts and canvas paintings.Thank you so much for sharing those! If you don’t mind me asking, what was the crowd size like? The atmosphere of the place (quiet, somber, laughter, some chatter?)

hope you have a fun safe trip :)I just dropped by the exhibit hall so I know the route for tomorrow morning and they had the doors open and they actually had people out front(selling tickets?). I got a slight peak at the entrance and the gift shop. You could also hear the epic music being played. So psyched for tomorrow morning!
Okay now that I’m back from the exhibit I can explain it as best as I can. Photos were allowed within parts of exhibit. The first part of the exhibit showed every important character and a short brief about them. After that was just all of the art pieces and manuscripts. Most of the photo areas were either figures/statues or dioramas. The manuscripts and art pieces went in order of the time periods in the books. The wallpaper colors also changed as certain time periods began in the manga. At the eclipse section there was one circular part of the area that was just full on diorama of the eclipse and how you may feel being trapped in it. It’s very small but they had carved faces everywhere that lit up in color and there was also sound effects. This section was also all in black light and they had the hand where all of the God Hands stand on. This hand was scaled to the figmas of those five god hand characters so it was quite big. That was so cool. They showed all of the God Hand prime one statues in this area too. At the end of the exhibit before you walk into the merch area was an area that showed his desk set up and also had other manga artists remembering the author through those shikishi boards. There was no photography allowed in the merchandise area so I don’t have any pictures of that. They were restocking items very quickly though. I don’t know if they’re saving some of it for the coming days or they’re just sold out when they’re sold out. That’s pretty much it and for some reason I received two copies of the tickets when I got the printout from Lawson so I’m going to go back tomorrow.

Do you remember what Susumu Hirasawa songs were being played during each arc walkthrough? What sound effects and music (if any) were played specifically during the Eclipse portion? Low-pitched screams from the faces, humans screams, sounds from the hand? Was the diorama just the Hand + God Hand figmas or did that area display other aspects? Your summary and pictures are very appreciated but I'd like more descriptive details.Okay now that I’m back from the exhibit I can explain it as best as I can.

Thank you for the pictures! There was also a mention that they would display original art that Miura did for the exhibition. Did you notice any unseen/new pieces?Okay now that I’m back from the exhibit I can explain it as best as I can. Photos were allowed within parts of exhibit.

Because I was one of the first 120 in yes I was able to get whatever merch I wanted. It went very smoothly and there weren’t long lines but I have been reading the Twitter thread on the official account and it seems to have gone very badly altogether. Once they saw that there was a problem with the lines they started putting numbers on the postcards you receive when you enter the exhibit. Then a batch of numbers would be call out and you would be allowed into the store. They didn’t even get through everyone today and they were up to 580 last I checked. Those people that weren’t able to get in have been told they have to wait until at least Monday if they really want to go into the shop. Anyone who has a ticket for the 11th or 12th will be able to get into the merch store no problem but once the staff see that there’s a large back up they’ll start the my number system again. There’s no telling what the stock is of all of the items but we an see that it’s very popular and people are buying it up.Thanks for the early preview Letty!! Did you manage to grab any merch?? I'm really scared of everything good being sold out.......
Thanks. I finally get to see my name on the donor list.
Nice! That's awesome.Thanks. I finally get to see my name on the donor list.
Thank you for pointing that out! Saw the pics but only skimmed to save myself for next weekend. So cool to see my name Letty's horror stories of the merch has me worried on that front but, at the same time, has made it easier for me to just drop that notion all together and thoroughly enjoy the exhibit itself. That's the way it should be.Thanks. I finally get to see my name on the donor list.
I threw down a bid on the art book. (Sorry, Aaz)Ashamed to say I've already spent $$$ on the manuscript replicas through second-hand market sites. I hate fueling resellers, but I knew I'd have to get my hands on them when they were revealed as exhibit goods. Would be awesome if they weren't exhibit exclusives, hoping for others that they might sell them online in the future.
I have to admit that I gave in as well and bought one of the manuscript reproductions from a scalper.Ashamed to say I've already spent $$$ on the manuscript replicas through second-hand market sites.

So is the video (interview) of Kentaro Miura being broadcast inside the exhibition already? Or is the interview in the new art book basically a transcription of the video featuring Miura.
Is the Guts image from the banner only referencing the skirmish, or would it have been directly used? I don't remember we've seen that image yet in manga.Episode 365 would have had a skirmish between Guts and Griffith, which the Exhibition's banner image directly references (something Miura did on purpose).
