I love these threads
also thread predictions
>someone would post Murata. well deserved that guys a legend
>the thread will flip at some point into "artistic degradation" and style regression
>there would be some trad vs digital talk
>soul vs soulless talk
>someone would post something really obscure
>some kid would post some awful shonen artist that stagnates for years and go full retard for anyone who points out there's no much improvement.
>someone will post toriyama, people will ask what happened. he's retired, that's all that happened
>someone will post something from a manga that had an anime this or last year.

Miura evolution of Guts across the years.
This is from 4 years ago though, so it's missing the last 10-ish chapters of Berserk.

Just post some progression you like.

And learn to ignore shit you don't.

>inb4 soul/soulless fags show up

He's not copying, no, but Kaz said he fell in love with Araki's work, and wanted to emulate it. Even though it's all-Kaz, Araki's influence should be recognized, even if Araki's gone full-homo in his old age.

I hate seeing this pic becaue it always makes me realize how rough its been for him.

The fuck are you talking about, right is still soulless digital shit.

Just note that these limited comparisons are misrepresentative when it comes to HxH. Togashi intentionally doesn't keep character models consistent from page to page and shifts faces in a wide variety of ways depending on the goals of the panel. For example pic related from the most recent Hisoka chapters look closest to the 3rd Hunter Exam example in your pic and nothing like the latest example.

Depends on how much you can deal with the fact that it's never going to be finished and get out of hiatus.
It's one of the very best selling SJ manga for many reasons, but it's hard to deal with the fact that Hagi is never going to end it.
Also, it's pretty much the manga that inspired all the comedy battle shonen like Gintama, so if you like some fantasy/ecchi DBZ mixed with Rance and the author taking the piss of pop culture of the time including other mangaka, it's very well worth a read.
And Dark Schneider is such a massive chad it might spoil your taste about 99% of MCs around, bear in mind this is a series that has official porn sidebooks made by the author, which are also absolutely canon.

Second has the one piece vibe.
Third is Mashima going full fanservice and it's shows on all of his characters even males.

Togashi is a hack, got it

I know its kind of a meme term, but I think that late Naruto art looks kinda soulless

Yeah, but outside of the Gara LN that came out four years ago or so, nothing else came out of it so far.
Hagi's also being busy working for mobage, games and anime so that might be the reason.

Yet another thread is ruined by huntards.

Quite the opposite, his grasp on expressionism and stylistic range is at the absolute height of the medium. Togashi’s range in style really allows him to shift tone and transition between genres more seamlessly than any other mangaka.

This. Togashi is a master of fundamentals, paneling and creating memorable page composition. The man is a genius who can set up his scenes from interesting pov angles that are able to put in contrast what each scene is exactly trying to portray.

weird how much I like the show and can't find anything to complain about even if I stopped watching when the dragon showed up. I guess hearing non-canon is a big turn off

Ishida's heavily improved his art throughout the series. Too bad the writing went to shit because he was burnt out and couldn't handle the weekly schedule.

Just ignore and stop giving them attention

What a bunch of crap

Non-canon? Right's from Volume 16 released last year. It's Rui's work.

>because he was burnt out and couldn't handle the weekly schedule.
no sympathy from me, unless he got burnt out AFTER starting part 2 then I guess its ok but if he was burnt at the end of part 1 he should have take a break.

I dont read LNs im talking about the anime I am in the part when the dragon with a bow appears

Cringe

Togashi is a Master at utilizing paneling, composition, page-flip and varying art styles for pacing, emphasis, and tone-shifts. His art style is extremely subtle and flows well into his top tier paneling and composition.

>no sympathy from me, unless he got burnt out AFTER starting part 2 then I guess its ok but if he was burnt at the end of part 1 he should have take a break.
Regarding taking breaks, this is what he wrote in his afterword
>I felt that if I took a break I wouldn’t be able to bring myself to draw again, so I refused to give myself a break.
Honestly, if he stopped working on so much other shit alongside TG's serialization, who knows how much better the writing could've been. Now it remains a wasted potential and I can only hope he goes with more preparation into his next work.

This thread went to shit fast

who's to blame for this?

Because people still, after all this time, reply to the hunterfags.

Man, if it only were those two things. That fucker also wrote/drew a hunded pages long storyboard for root a, and also did tons of illustrations specifically for the ED song. Then he started working on that psp game, where he drew a 550 pages long scenario book all by himself together with new illustrations. Further, he also drew tons of illustrations for zakki 2 (art book) and now a short while ago, we've been told that he has also been working on the new switch game for the past 3 years. All the while working on :RE. He can only blame himself for not prioritizing his main work, it's a shame really.

>HxH 28 sold 1,011,766 in 2011
This was the build up phase, just like:
>HxH 35 sold 1.090.958 in 2018
Is aslo the build up phase.

You're not serious are you? The left actually looks better because there's overall harmony. The right has so much jarring between the characters and the background it breaks reader immersion on first glance.

This is frustrating to see because all that meticulous labour invested into background ended up deducting marks from the final product. That effort could've been saved for something else.

Slam Dunk is irrelevant and forgotten, tho

I really liked the 3rd uniform era, it was a mix of early goth vibe with appropriate anatomy, without the "stiffness" of the beginning.
But now, everyone is just a shining example of ikemen and pandering towards the main public of this manga: fujoshis.

The trend is that build up volumes sell 1M and climax volumes (34 was Hisoka vs Chrollo) sell 1.2M. The average is always 1M. 200k drop is nothing compared to One Piece that has lost 2M, MHA that has lost 300K and HQ that has lost 500k

I can understand if you do. Kishimoto's panel and line work began to shift their focus in later Naruto - he began to construct more crisp lines depicting complicated jutsus. You may approve of this if you enjoy artists like Oh Great, since that's what he does. I find it detrimental because the character poses lost their quirkiness and actions less dynamic.

I wish I can personally tell him how much I miss his old line art style

One Piece is a genre manga/anime. I already addressed these points before but I didn't save my posts to prevent copypasting. I don't feel like writing paragraphs again so I'm gonna keep this short.
One Piece complexity is not on the level of plot like in HxH, it's on the level of worldbuilding/lore, visible if you analyse the whole manga in the macro scale. In terms of plot it's a simple genre manga. The best analogy for it is LOTR where the fellowship travels kingdom to kingdom, explores local issues and politics experiences some personal drama, has some adventure and moves on. There are two appeals to both works, the "action" which is what happens here and now and the "exploration" which is witnessing the past and the world as it is. The latter appeal comes from exploring the well crafted world full of metaphors and parallels to the real one which gives the story depth and wisdom. But just like LOTR you have to find the symbols (which can be various degrees of hidden) and metaphors before you can even begin the analysis.

At least it was some fun fetish stuff, like the rape horse.
Now, if it's a fetish, it's just way too shitty with his style.

lol I think you are overthinking it.
Oda knows its audience and draws the biggest tits on any shounen.
Don't even compare OP to LotR please

His attitude helps with that. Apparently as he got close to the end of Stone Ocean he felt like his writing and art were at their peak and like he couldn’t possibly improve any more, and he felt completely satisfied with one of his mangas for once. He was terrified of the thought that he’d hit his peak and that it actually felt ok, because there was still so much he wanted to draw and if he can’t get better it’s not as enjoyable anymore. So he had the idea to ‘go back to the beginning’ and decided Part 7 would be a reboot (because he felt Stone Ocean was a perfect ending but still wanted to draw more JoJo) and he’d shift to a monthly seinen magazine since he’d peaked with the weekly shonen format. Double size pages, four times as much time to produce a chapter, no limit on how long it had to be and going back to basics and trying to do everything again but better let him break past what he considered his peak and keep climbing higher, which he’s still doing to this day.

in a review I can't find on his twitter, his website, or archived footage dobson claimed he watched five episodes of one punch man and stopped watching because he claimed it was too violent, he was probably upset that mosquito girl died. He then kept trying to goad people into responding negatively so he could claim to have been harassed over not liking it, and then to the twitter of one of the women he orbits around who said they were watching one punch and warned her that it was violent and that he was harassed over not liking it. this concluded by dob comparing himself to one.

Kinda hard to improve when you started at god-tier level, though.

I admit it wouldn't be easy, but 30 years...
another matter is consistency of style, of course:
Miura is incredibly consistent, but he sacrificed his improvement potential.

I'm not too critical of his epic spreads and such anyway, but his QUALITY is very much the same still. The basic panels still are basic as before.

>Gives Sidonia a shitty, rushed ending because his family were too stupid to understand it and his daughter asked him when he was going to make a good manga, like Shingeki no Kyojin
I will never not be mad.

Murata was still building the new foundation for OPM during the first few volumes. You can see that he played with lots of effects and character features until he found the designs that clicked.

But yeah, Murata has always been consistently high-tier since Eyeshield and doesn't seem to have sloped downward once in his career of illustrating. It's quite impressive. I think it's because he probably still takes classes.

Togashi has to be the most disappointing, going from Miura-level work in YYH to very simplified forms and designs in HxH. Miura himself remains a mystery. It's like he just got tired of drawing and is now looking for shortcuts, but oddly enough he still wants it to be high quality, but it looks 'off'.

Someone post sui ishida's declining art in tg and tg re

Plebs who have only read 5 manga like you shitpost because you are unfamiliar with advanced composition, this doesn't make Togashi a bad artist.

Now, let me dissect, both the art and storytelling of this very panel from chapter 352 page 19, to demonstrate why Togashi is seen as one of the best artists in the industry.

>A. The general clutter of the panel and floaty-ness of the character art shows how chaotic the setpiece is, and how Hisoka's mind is narrowing down to focus solely on Chrollo's devious tactics. As if time was slowing down for this train-of-thought.
>B. The white space behind Hisoka's head is used to show how empty of other subjects besides this battle his mind is. Narrowing down to the basics of the fight.
>C. We are then brought back to Hisoka's face, which expresses a mixture of smug surprise, and devilish determination. And swirling in front of him and as well as (seemingly) to his side is a menacing smog. Which has typically been used to communicate blood-lust in this manga.

There is much more into the art of drawing than having detailed realistic figures, fucking retard knows nothing about paneling and composition. Suck Osamu Tezuka's rotten, worm-dwelled, dead dick.

Brainlets/newfags tend to think realistic illustrations = good manga artist, that's why all of those "manga art" threads are nothing but overdrawn digital two page spreads.

It's also why normalfags think Berserk has good art when Miura can't compose a page to save his life.

Err, well, copying some dude from 500 years ago and doing a worse job of it.. is not exactly impressive, although those old masters sometimes spent years on a single piece.

How a piece of art looks isn't the only way to judge how good it looks, retard.

Not only is the lineart, shading and use of watercolors masterful but it's intertwined with the narrative beautifully.
