Zachary Sullivan
both of their nose jobs got botched
Jayden Adams

>that level of coping
hxh has been looking objectively worse the past ~50 chapters, you can't deny that
Lincoln Flores
>his author draws the same face not just for the same character in every page but also for the entire rest of the cast, male and female
Noah White
Progression you mean?
Oliver Walker
the quwrof ones looks pretty similar
hisoka looks worse
Charles Torres
What a bad example. Backgrounds are drawn by his assistants so you have to compare the faces and actual characters in which the one on the right looks worse
Lincoln Mitchell
someone post the Baki duo one with Oliva
Bentley Bell
Chrollo's gigantic nose makes him look like a diplodocus
Aiden Howard
flute for the soul
Robert Perry
Why Hunter x Hunter so beautiful? Is there any manga that can complete with Togashi's genius?
Nolan Kelly
Concede.
Ayden Collins
Samuel Brooks
>Backgrounds are drawn by his assistants

Ryder Martin

much like how nen can shroud things and enhance them

Adam Rivera
every night before sleep I weep
every morning after waking up I mourn

Jason Jackson
good bait
so assblasted he has to bring up someone else. At least Miura was good at some point, unlike Togashi being bad bad and then even worse
Carson Brown
The entirety of Berserk.
Landon Russell
What I came to see
also griffith
Zachary Perry
no proof, Togashi has 7 assistants that just sits there and don't do anything
Levi Sanchez
Miura needs to hire someone to draw for him
Levi Miller
Concede, subhuman.
Oliver Thomas
Every long running manga has art regression.
Daniel Scott
Spreads like that one are always done by the mangaka, retard
Brody James
He does digital not pencil now.
Kevin Cooper
Proof?
Camden Green
this, jesus. except when they have a better schedule etc
Justin Johnson
The burden of proof is on you, since you're the one claiming it was all drawn by the assistants.
Jace Cruz
How come Togashi draw dog shit art when he only cranks out 10 chapters every 2 years?
Jordan Anderson
Adam Howard
because he's still drawing on a weekly schedule everytime he returns
Brody Fisher
>I don't have proof Togashi has drawn anything
That is, in fact, correct. Togashi hasn't drawn anything in the past 10 years. There's no way that shitty art could belong to him. The man who drew early HxH and YYH couldn't have drawn this crap.
Henry Long
Why is Togashi so lazy and such a faggot, bro?
Adam Foster
Fuck you Nihei!
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Andrew Russell
because having money and creative control over his own work means he doesn't have to follow Jump's insane schedules
Parker Lopez
Why is Togashi so good to us, bros?
I always feel like thanking him for his work is not sufficient.
Blake Lewis
>It's another "Hunterchads damage control everything said about their manga instead of accepting its flaws" episode.

We'd gladly accept a flaw if there was one. But so far its all generic seething and subjective opinions.

William Rogers
Ayden Hernandez
You can thank him when he releases another chapter...pfft
Wyatt Morales
At this point I firmly believe that he has already hired someone to draw for him.
Chase Kelly
Part 4 + 7 are the best.
Blake Lewis
togashi's assistants at most do the backgrounds, I'm not even sure he has any
Christopher Gonzalez
The art quality always improved. It's the art style that changed, sometimes with questionable choices.
Alexander Morris
Jojolion is honestly the worst of them.
Cameron Hall
Its nota wonder that everyone is dropping Berserk. The story has been garbage and the only thing keeping the readers was the art.
Adam Jackson
art quality and art style are both describing the same thing, idiot
Liam Brooks
I disagree. Quality and style are different words for different concepts.
John Walker
Late Part 2, late Part 4, and late Part 7 are the best.
Thomas King
what?
Joseph Lee
>everyone is dropping Berserk
who? where?
Ryan Evans
This could use an update, current part 8 is some of Araki's best.
Caleb Morris
What's wrong with their bodies??
William Murphy
give me a good image from p8 and ill do the rest.
Kevin Campbell
Soul Eater had some pretty good art progression.
Jordan Mitchell
Imagine thinking he ever should stuck to any Artstyle.
Like Hunter x Hunter is a call for adventure, his artstyle is likewise always changing and striving for novelty
Zachary White
Proof of this please, since when was this a thing
Ryder Sanchez
Andrew Nelson
I just realised that's not the one with the early middle and late part comparisons, so it'd be better just to leave it until JJL is finished, unless someone can post that chart.
Here's a good shot of Josuke's face anyway.
Oliver Flores
Assistants tend to do everything but characters and I'm pretty sure part of HxH's haituses have to do with Togashi wanting to do most of it himself.
Sebastian Jenkins
So he just traces?
Jack Jones
God I fucking hate the "scary" hisoka face, looks like literal shit and ruined the mood like aces death
It looks like if a Junji ito character starred in barney
Kayden Martin
No it's saying he's well studied and can draw more than just the same uwu face and icon tropes
Zachary Barnes
Yes, but sometimes he just copies other people's art by eye.
Nathan Hernandez
Of course having a Facial Expressions Books = tracing...
look at those faces, user. They totally look human for sure...
Gabriel Bennett
It was a reference to Junji ito. Togashi likes it.
Levi Reyes
HxH always had garbage art. Togashi can't draw. He never bothered to learn since people were fine with his doodles. The only time his art doesn't look embarrassingly bad is when he traces it from something else.
Anthony Morgan
>Having references = tracing
I hate artlets so much.
William Murphy
Is this how you really feel user? Who hurt you? Was it Togashi? Or a """hunterchad"""?
Lucas Hall
Commit die.
Austin Butler
Yeah I know it's a reference to Junji but if you're not gonna do it right why do it at all
Anthony Rodriguez
Dylan Cook
Do nips ever give Togashi shit for being a shameless tracer? Is that something frowned upon in their culture?
Elijah Barnes
SOUL
Liam Murphy
You know he's studied by his peers in the Manga Industry? Especially his facial expressions.
"Kishimoto : [...] Another thing that I liked were the characters expressions during the scenes where they witness their enemy reveal their true power, I've studied a lot about the delicate balance of expressions of characters when they're surprised or when they find themselves in a dangerous situation, Back when I've started the serialization of Naruto, my inspiration for these kind of facial expressions was Hunter x Hunter, even to this day it still has a special place for me and I often re-read it. "
Noah Kelly
That's like calling Araki a tracer for using Michaelangelo/Da Vinci statues for references.
Christian Hernandez
Why do you think its not right? Its so obvious that everyone can tell its a reference to Junji Ito, that means it was done right. Its not the only time Togashi has done it.
Adam Adams
Inoue traces, Miura traces, Murata traces, Asano traces, Nagai traces, Otomo traces.
Brandon Cox
Inspiration =/= Tracing.
Here is an example of Tracing :
Joshua Howard
The expressions he traces from a book ?
Noah Cox
>posts garbage
Parker Roberts
>Says traces
>all the faces on the left look like no living/pass humans ever
Learn what the term 'tracing' means.
Sebastian Fisher
These two characters have very, very good design.
Nathaniel James
Junji does it so that it looks creepy unsettling where as togashis just look goofy and ruins the mood
Like Yeah you can tell it's a reference but it looks shit while doing it
Julian Wright
No, I posted Yu Yu.
Cooper Wright
But that's exactly what Togashi does. Every page/panel that is noticeably more detailed than the usual is traced, plagiarized, inspired or whatever you want to call it.
The difference is they can draw well without tracing. Every page Togashi draws without reference looks like a doodle.
Parker Long
Hisoka's face is actually unsettling. Imagine being a Hunter examinee and seeing that thing running towards you in a forest. You'd shit yourself. In Palm's case, it was supposed to be goofy because it was used for comedy purposes.
Luis Bell
Fair enough in palms case, haven't read up to that bit yet
But in hisoka case I'd shit myself laughing, maybe it's just down to hisoka design itself not being suited to it but it just looks like someone using a snapchat filter
Landon Cox
Nobody is on Togashi's level when it comes to clean paneling & composition, let alone his top tier choreography. Let me demonstrate it with this example:
The first page shows Biscuit facing off against Binolt, a bounty hunter and serial killer. The audience to the fight, Gon & Killua, have no idea how powerful Biscuit is, and neither does the reader.
Togashi starts the page with Biscuit lifting Binolt up without effort; Biscuit’s body has almost no speed lines, emphasizing the ease with which she can lift a full grown man. Instead, all of the speed lines are focused in on Binolt’s body as it rises; he’s completely powerless to even move. The second panel emphasizes the same qualities: once again, Biscuit’s body barely moves, while Binolt’s spins at incredible speed. The final panel on the page boils the fight down to its pure essence: Biscuit, almost completely stationary while Binolt is sent exactly where she wants him.
>And then there’s the page turn
Forcing the reader to hold their expectation is one of the oldest tricks in comics, and Togashi knows it’s an evergreen technique. However, he also contrasts this new page with the former. There are speed lines everywhere, more impact lines, heavier crosshatching, and mild exaggeration in the features. The previous page is time boiled down to a few moments, milliseconds even. This page is time speeding up. Biscuit hits Binolt so hard he vomits a frankly improbable amount of blood before he even hits the ground. It’s the next three seconds of the fight boiled down to a single, action-packed panel. The middle-bottom panel is Gon and Killua, barely visible and stunned. And then Biscuit ends the page by clarifying that she wasn’t using her full strength.
In two pages, Togashi’s made a girl in a puffy umbrella skirt cooler than your favorite character, using comic techniques familiar to almost any comics reader.
Jacob White
At that point of the Exam, everyone was scared of Hisoka because he cut off some guy's arms just because he bumped into him and everyone saw that. If you are guy in a forest and suddenly see that face running towards you at full speed, you'd shit yourself from fear.
Ayden Reyes
kino post
Sebastian Cruz
>Nobody is on Togashi's level
Yeah, everyone is better than him
Ryder Howard
Still doesn't change the fact the face is goofy af even if it's meant to be scary
It's the same issue as aces death in one piece where the mood is ruined by the faces pullef
Landon Scott
Oda' skill has both grown and regressed at the same time
Evan Robinson
The difference is that Hisoka uses that face to kill some fodder, while the goofy Luffy face happens in the most dramatic moment of OP and ruins it.
Jack Long
Those were only special occassion for a Cover Art and some art. And for that specific character, he has stated that he loves to go out of his comfort zone and draw with a total difference artstyle here it is tracing.
The character doesn't reappear and no other character with this same artstyle reappear ever again.
Jace Diaz
Still doesn't change the comparison of a goofy face ruining a mood
Brandon Mitchell
I did it anyway so in the future it will be easy to replace the image.
Elijah Bell
What mood? That scene wasn't even meant to be scary. It was to show that Hisoka can lose his focus when he's excited, so that Gon could steal his tag.
Benjamin Morales
I wonder if Hisoka would have the same impact he has if he was always in pretty boy mode.
Jacob Evans
Who cares though? It's not like he traces from other people's shit.
Jordan Johnson
Togashi has no assistants.
Blake Parker
>hiatusfags damage controlling
Leo Morales
>by his assistants
He has no assistants.
Tyler Ross
I think Togashi did good by changing Hisoka's chinese look to a more western one. It gives him way more appeal.
Jacob Barnes
He's just using a a thick pencil for Orochi. That's all.
Hudson Foster
Besides the odd choice of white washing, what are your thought on his sharp nails/claws in '11?
Jack Williams
Learn English retard
Ian Howard
It's supposed to be scary when he starts chasing him but it comes off as laughably retarded
Adrian Ross
I was thinking without his makeup up-hair and ring outfits. Like bottom row, third from the left.
Mason Clark
No? Him giving off his bloodlust and Gon trying to hide was the scary moment, him going for the kill while WE the viewer watch for Gon to get the right timing to reel in his badge was a bit tense, but hardly scary.
Luke Watson
I keep getting the clown mixed up with the prince guy from the bread manga. You know where they traveled back in time. Was this clown a price too?
Henry Cooper
Horror wasn't the right term, but the scene is supposed to show you how scary hisoka can be and that he's like a monster, except the face ruins that
Thomas Green
I think 11 Hisoka is great and the VA was absolutely perfect, couldn't have casted a better actor. When it comes to Hisoka, Madhouse did him justice.
Adrian Gray
He's better now, tho.
Jonathan Harris
Like this? He wouldn't be Hisoka anymore. The makeup and hair are a character mark that distinguish him from everyone else.
Zachary Long
Kayden Cox

Samuel Barnes

Dylan Reyes
The style has certainly become too busy for it's own good.
Leo Bennett
Cope harder faggor
James Thomas
>I accept your concession.
The coping is real.
Jace Taylor
That's fine and all buy why doesn't he stick to any style? In HxH you go from the typical big eyed 90s style like Killua and Kurama that look like he directly took Hiei and Kurapika and gave them a change color, to hyper realistic humans with good proportions to Hannah Barbera dot eyed faces to crazy character designs you would expect from One Piece to just random nonsense like pretty much everybody this arc. Just like in this imagine it feels like he first draws an expression and then draws a head around it rather than coin his own and make the expressions work with it, makes it feel more like pic related.
Jace Sanchez
Togashi is an experimentalist.
Easton Martin
He literally does have. Watch the Jump Ryu.
Chase Brown
Almost Rob Leifeld feet.
Andrew Gonzalez
that same principle is applicable to One piece and its far more shocking
Gavin Allen
You can't be fucking serious. This is the most basic of examples and the art, choreography or panel composition are not even good or innovative. I'm sure you can find a better example than that within the same arc alone, stop pretending this is genius.

Aiden Ward
Yes but that's not the point, it's good that Togashi can draw different expressions but there's no consistency to his character design. He just draws what he wants.
Luis Evans
Charles White
I don't see it as that goofy. To me the face conveys an extreme shock reaction, how exaggerated and abnormal his face is makes it even more disturbing how Luffy must have felt at the moment. The distortion is used to great effect, it's the dead eyes and the directionless and unhingedness of that face that gives it its power
Brayden Kelly
>"He just draws what he wants."
Is that supposed to be a bad thing necessarily?
Ian Hall
that looks like trash, even i could draw better and I failed my art classes lmao
didn't bother reading your essay, who the fuck has time for it hahahaha
Gabriel Hill
That's what art is: free expression and creativity.
Oliver Morales
I think it's okay if you trace. But if you decide to trace, you should hire a model or ask a friend to do poses for you and take photos of them. Then you can trace from that.
But it's not okay to trace from magazines or websites or movies. That's basically plagiarism
Noah Myers
I can't even tell what's going on there. How does this garbage get through WSJ's quality control? Are they not embarrassed to publish this deviantart tier abomination?

I think it's easy to tell. She lifts the guy up and makes him spin around in the air. Then she punches him and he vomits blood and passes out.
And for some reason there is a speech bubble above Gon and Killua with just "..." in it, like as if we couldn't tell that they are silent and awe-struck if we only see their faces without a speech bubble
James Phillips

Kayden Williams

Being Togashi is amazing. He could literally take a shit on a page and his fans would find a way to praise it and call it an artistic masterpiece.

That's why you have to respect ONE. He's a mediocre artist but he doesn't try to hide it behind plagiarized art. His composition is really good which makes his manga enjoyable to look at despite the below average art.
Jace Baker
Just because you have a fetish for it doesnt make it better, user.
Gabriel Diaz
What are you talking about? Togashi is the only mangaka in history who can replicate the art style of Rothko, Yves Klein and Jackson Pollock,
Nathan Sullivan
He has 8. There's a video about it.
Blake Davis
This is quintessential Togashi. The difference between traced art and his own. Whenever he draws without reference the end result looks goofy and disproportional. It's because the guy never bothered to learn how to draw. He doesn't even have the basics down.
Connor Jackson
Guy, the shit you suggest the artist is way above their financial limits.
Daniel Butler
It’s not easy to tell at all. And I research art on a constant basis. The movement lines in these drawings are fucking ass.

8 assistants and his manga still looks like absolute garbage. Meanwhile Kishiro has been drawing his manga on his own and with only his son helping him out for almost two decades now. What a shame that someone as talented as Kishiro can't afford to hire assistants while this lazy hack shits out a turd once a year and earns more than Kishiro in a decade.
Julian Martinez

Brandon Powell
Man picks up a cyborg girl he found in garbage heap.
The movie came out this year and unless he made a deal with Cameron for % of revenue he probably didn't get much out of it when he sold him the movie rights for the Alita. He was stuck in a very unpopular seinen manga magazine for 15 years which is probably why Alita never kicked off after he ended the first series.
Christopher Roberts
That’s much worse than I expected. I thought it was just a doll.

The idea that Togashi's art is praised as genius is a recent Yea Forums invention. Nobody in even the deepest of fan circle jerks even finds his art charming or cute but still lesser. It's always made fun of.
Easton Scott
OH MY ACHING BACK!
Anyone who expects anything from togashi at this point is blind. He's never coming back. He's made his money.
If he really cared about HxH, he would hand it off to an apprentice mangaka who would like to do it.
Like toriyama and toyotaro. Have someone else draw it and have togashi line out the story.
Togashi is just a lazy hack.
Wyatt Brown
>irrelevant shit
Estimated revenue for HunterxHunter franchise is $351m. Alita made $405m with just the movie alone. HunterxHunter is literally less relevant than Alita.
Nathan Adams
Only rats that don't care about their work would give it to someone else so they can keep lazing around while getting money.
Togashi is based.
Kevin Sanders
You'd rather togashi shit out microsoft paint tier art once every 10 years than have more chapters.
He clearly doesn't care anymore. He could leave HxH forever and move on.
Don't start something if you're not going to finish it. I hope togashi releases a statement saying that HxH is over and he's through with manga forever.
Grayson Anderson
I wonder it’s because he has that issue of being at home and hating work. At home, you feel like you can be lazy fuck. At work, you can finally think seriously but you despise the short amount of time and struggle of releasing weekly chapters.
Easton Sanchez
>Yves Klein
But there's no color.
Grayson Roberts
Can you blame him? Would you not laze around all day playing video games and reading manga if you could? The man is living the dream. I think all of us can relate and understand him in that regard. On the other hand, as a mangaka he is pure garbage and it baffles me that a society like Japan tolerates his behavior. Why has he not been kicked off from WSJ for being a lazy piece of shit? Some salarymen are driven to suicide at their work or overworked to death while this asshole just gets to do whatever he wants and shits on the hard work of all other mangaka who try their best to make it in this very tough business.

Ayden Scott
Poor Togashi. How much back energy did that use up?

His previous manga.
Liam Cook
>Fujimaki (author of Kuroko no Basket): After seeing the expressions of the characters that Togashi-sensei has drawn, the area that surprises me the most is the corner of the mouth. Kurapika for example would always have this kind of expression, where the corner of his mouth is always slanted upwards or downwards, but because the shift is very slight, it looks like he is smiling, but also expressionless at the same time.
>Ishida: I’ve had this storyboard in my head constantly, but internally the bar kept getting higher… Because I was going to show it to Togashi-sensei, whom I greatly respect, I didn’t want to show him anything poorly done, and I wanted to construct my own worldview within “Hunter x Hunter”
>Ishida: That’s right. When I was in junior high school, the first manga I copied was of Hisoka. It was the scene where Hisoka is letting down his hair after a bath, after he has a battle in Heaven’s Arena. It was so cool I just had to draw it
>Kishimoto: Before I became a professional mangaka, I was already a big fan of Togashi-sensei, I was able to greet him at the Jump Festa
>Kishimoto: Yes. Well, during that time period I was having difficulty creating my manga. I thought I'd ask you for some tips sensei, the first time we met I was a little nervous but luckily Sensei was very nice to me which helped me get over my nervousness and allowed me ask a lot of questions. After diner, he showed me his workshop, the cycle of creating a manga, how to have a good work atmosphere and many other things. Back when I've started the serialization of Naruto, my inspiration for these was Hunter x Hunter, even to this day it still has a special place for me and I often re-read it.

Hardly. I can think of a bunch of WSJ series that make more money currently. One Piece, MHA, Black Clover, The Promised Neverland, Kimetsu no Yaiba, Haikyuu, Boruto. HxH doesn't have an ongoing anime, no new volumes, manga is on hiatus for months, no new video games, no new movies. Nothing. It's not making any money. It might even be generating less money than the crappy WSJ series on the verge of cancellation. Does anyone have WSJ weekly circulation numbers from recent years with and without HxH featured in the issue? I wonder if HxH makes any impact at all on WSJ sales.

Alita's movie sold over 50m tickets worldwide. There are now at least over 50m people who are familiar with Alita Battle Angel. It was also the best selling manga on every amazon store (except Japanese one) for several months. Hunter X Hunter doesn't even have a fraction of Alita's popularity. You are far more likely to meet someone on the street who is familiar with Alita than Hunter x Hunter. In just US alone Alita was seen by over 9m people. Do you think there are 9m people who have seen or read Hunter x Hunter in US? It's lucky to have that many globally. And you know the best part? That figure is likely to double or tripple after bluray rip hits the trackers. Alita is now literally up there with all the biggest manga/anime franchises in terms of fame and recognition.

unique, iconic. Most artists dream they could reach such stage. It may not be the most developed style, but its its own style, and its a good style. Consistent, recognizable and works pretty well, it doesnt have to be forced onto the reader.
Definitely better than some trash you see in museums (like fucking distorted naked fat women doodles)

no, not really.
following your logic, "aimed at men from their 20s to their 50s" means it's not a seinen either.

The rating system only restricts manga to certain audiences by age, it doesn't dictate its intended audience. therfore, 16+ is by no means a way of telling which audience it is intended for.

I got into politics when I was a teen and thought GoT made me smarter when I watched it at 14.

There is no arguing with this.

God what a fucking shitshow
Why did he even get into this? What's the fucking point?
It boggles the mind how completely pointless this shit is
Ian Howard
This.
Personally I don't want any Mangaka to overwork themselves, but the hiatus Togashi and Miura give us are uncalled for. Like at this point they're just lazy. Bringing out a new chapter like every 6 months? Are you fucking kidding?
That's why, even though people can think about the actual designs, characters & arcs what they want, I believe the work ethic of Sui Ishida to be admirable. Week after week, this mad lad brought out chapter after chapter, back to back. He finished the original T:G and directly continued with ":Re".
He literally deserved himself all the time he wants before he starts a new series, because he definetely overworked himself, just like he even stated.
Gabriel Johnson

Xavier Hughes
>Why did he even get into this?

the thing with ishida is, he did tons of other stuff while working on his main series. i don't even know how he managed to survive that

Japanese have some crazy work ethic. You've got all these successful mangaka who are millionaires and yet they still bust their ass off for 12+ hours a day 7 days per week like minimum wage foreign workers.

I hate it frankly, The 2011 anime made him look like a pale-skinny vampire for most of it's run. The clown makeup and clothes are just eccentricities, Hisoka is fighter first and foremost, which is why Togashi didn't give him un-practically long nails and will frequently draw him yoked asf
Jaxson Gomez
nothing wrong with him reverse-tanning himself, but yea I agree with the nails. Togashi is way more detail-oriented than the anime makes him to be
Daniel Ramirez
I honestly love late Dou and nu Dou's art. At least in some places. But fuck me, it's not a good fit for Olivia and the Ogre himself. They look too much like manlets. They also don't look lean enough.
Kayden Perry
this isn't even the most text-heavy page from recent chapters by any stretch.

Is HxH worth reading after all these years, or is it a complete waste of time?

I watched the entire anime last year, and was expecting some very generic shonen snorefest. For some reason it was amazingly good. IMO it doesn't get really good until the Yorknew City arc, so go into it with patience.

Why did you ask a question and replied to yourself right after? At first I thought you were just fishing for easy replies. I mean, "is it worth it or a complete waste of time?" sounds really unauthentic regarding a series like hunter x hunter

It certainly makes Shonens like One Piece and Naruto look fairly brain dead by comparison, I say that 100% unironically. But at times it gets a bit too up it's own ass with walls of text, so it's not all good.

It's good, it just gets shitposted to high hell. Have you ever played Age of Empires 2? Well HunterxHunter is the AoE2 of Yea Forums. A good, maybe even classic work that you cannot sincerely talk about on the board it belongs to.
