>>290261844>Arthur meets Merlin
Peter Cullen would've made a good Shiba.
>>290262153>Does he have a thing for old men or something? PAUSE
>>290262317>>290262341https://youtu.be/gQZW8X3af2M
>>290262453Haru: "Plue DIED?" Shiba:". . . Well, he got better."
God, I wish Mashima kept this style.
>>290261348Ah, I meant to do it as a daily chapter one of these days.Oh well, godspeed, OP.
>>290262798>Arthur receives Excalibur
>>290261348Kino. This was 35 volumes, right? I was planning to rewatch FT, But I think I'll stick around and wait until this storytime is finished unless you're planning on dumping FT after this one
>>290261528Enter
>>290261348On a scale of 1 to Fairy Tail, how much service does this have?
>>290261559>Katorea>CattleyaWhat the fuck
>>290261608actually the talking sun flower house freaks me out more than a 4legged snowman from the ocean in summer
>>290264307By the Power of Grayskull . . . I HAVE THE POWER!!!!!!
>>290263385Brutal sibling violence
>>290261695what is funny about Shabutaro?
>>290264944UNCLE OWEN! AUNT BERU!
>>290261877why does he want to give Botohn a bj for a greeting?
I gotta say, this is much better structure and pacing than the show.
>>290265759>>290265794Kevin Conroy would've been a good Gale.
>>290263249She's named after a flower. It's pronounced "KAT-lee-uh".
Now this is a based fucking storytime. Rave is like a blueprint for writing good battle shounen. It may not be the best, but it does everything it needs to do and is a fun ride from start to finish. Not looking forward to how the faggots on this board react to the NTR kiss, though.
>>290262623Though Mashima's style has gotten more simplified within the past couple of years, the latest chapter of FT Re:Fantasia has one villain design that looks straight out of his old days.
To be continued!
>>290266214I think his style in Fairy Tail really peaked around the Tenrou Island, personally. That said, while I haven't read all of Edens Zero, I do remember thinking the art was still really good. Especially his newfound emphasis on thick thighs.
See you tomorrow!
>>290261348WB op. It's time to RAVE.
>>290266338The art was pretty crisp for a while, but towards the end I noticed the shift into his simpler, less detailed, thick-lined style that he's using now. I also noticed that he was recycling a lot of complex illustrations and shots around the second third of EZ.
>>290266530I'll bring the ecstasy if you bring the glow sticks and sluts.
>>290261455>https://youtu.be/7krz5g1eAo0 FTFY
>>290266583>around the second third of EZ.That's interesting, because I've read just about a third of it and have been meaning to get back to it sometime. Guess I ought to be prepared for that.
>>290265594I can't believe Mashima used Shuda's old look for the Fairytail guild master.
>>290266896>ShudaBruh
Wasn't the sword called Ten Commandments?
>>290266433Thanks. It really does feel like Kingdom Hearts after looking back at it.>>290266590I got dem sticks, but the sluts these days aren't the same as they used to be.
>>290266978It was called the Decaforce Sword in the dub.
>>290266956Damn getting old too.
>>290266956Shuda, cuda, wuda.
>>290266999>I got dem sticks, but the sluts these days aren't the same as they used to be.God damn if that isn't tragically true. Late-2000's raver sluts were a gift from god.
>>290266999It's basically a reskinned King Arthur >young boy finds old mentor and mystical sword >sets off to fix a land in chaos >gains a trusted band of knights in search of holy relics I could go on, but then I'd risk spoilers.
>>290267017Looked it up, it's originally Ten Commandments but not surprising they didn't keep that name
>>290266978In Japanese, it is. I reckon it was changed by Tokyopop to avoid religious symbolism, even though the final boss's sword is named after the Latin term for the commandments, the Decalogue.Heads up: even though Rave is the first appearance of the Oracion Seis, their name is translated as "Oracion Six" instead.
>>290267209>Rave is the first appearance of the Oracion SeisForgot about that too. I read the localization that came out here long time ago and I've forgotten most of it but it seems they kept the original names in that one. At least it'll be fun getting a refresher out of this storytime. Sieghart appears pretty early on too, right?
>>290267346>spoiler I don't remember exactly how early, but it's early enough that he feels like he's present for most of the manga.
>>290262453Oh No Piccolo
>>290266199>spoiler Nobody thought any less of Johnathan Joestar when it happened to him, did they? Hell, Guts got it even worse than the both of them.
>>290267733Unfortunately, I've seen people shit on Haru and Rave in general because of that scene on many occasions on this board. Purityfaggotry is a cancer for which there is no chemo.
>>290266338>Especially his newfound emphasis on thick thighs.I definitely enjoyed the sex goddess bodies in EZ>>290266433Thanks OP
>>290263297>Haru...you are.......the Rave MasterTMBravo Nolan.
>>290267760>peopleIt's just one guy. And a Fairy fag at that, who got sick of Rave fans and everyone else shitting on his gooner slop.
>>290267803>I definitely enjoyed the sex goddess bodies in EZHe was already shifting toward the style by the end of Fairy Tail, too. Wendy's fucking thighs made me diamonds.
>>290267178They also changed casinos to arcades, but kept the roulette tables.
>>290265516Música can repair the Rave Story. Poetry
Iirc like 75% through the official English translation, they switched companies or something, so they released a disclaimer and changed a bunch of the names and added honorifics for the last few volumes.
Don't know any of his. Are the girls hot?
>>290268518You tell me.
>>290268541Need more references to decide
>>290268717
>>290268518Mashima really hadn't perfected his style yet while drawing this manga, but there still a handful of cute waifus to be found.
This and Sgt.Frog were the main manga I had back in the day. Never finished either.
>>290268740More boob jiggle and we got a deal
>>290261353lmao is this some kind of proto fairy tail
>>290269521No, fairy tail is diet rave.
>>290269397>More boob jiggleSomeone post Elie's elies.
>>290269521>proto fairy tailRave ran for years and has outsold the vast majority of battle shounen. Mashima was already a respected and successful mangaka thanks to it before Fairly Tail was even a twinkle in his nutsack.
>>290269916Really? I was told it was an irrelevant timeflop, whatever that means.
>>290263479ENTER
>>290270006It sold over 20 million volumes. Any mangaka would be creaming their fucking pants over numbers like that. Mashima is WSM royalty for a reason. He wrote a huge hit, then proceeded to give them fucking Fairy Tail. Say what you will about his writing, but he's earned his accolades.
>>290268740Something tells me Deen rotoscoped a professional dancer, or animated it from scratch while following one as a model.
>>290265474Weird. Why'd the anime change this scene?
>>290269727
>>290270661Excellent.
>>290267733Funnily enough, Elie's dub voice would go on to Erinna.
>>290268541>>290270661HAG
I want Resha to be my Valentine.
>>290261609>>290266660WITH A CARROT NOSE DOG?
>>290261528It's a rhino, obviously.
>>290261608>my god! what in the world is that thing!I don't want to hear that from a talking sunflower with an old man's face that's stuck on a house.
>>290272507>a talking sunflower with an old man's faceand an Indian accent.
>>290261348LEEEETS GOOOOOOOOOO
>>290262153>punched an old man>does he have a thing for old men or something?What's the logic behind this? Haru thinks the thug is into old man BDSM?
>>290270279Yes. It's rare for a mangaka to write a hit like Rave then immediately follow it up with an even bigger hit like Fairy Tail (likely one of WSM's biggest ever series). Rave 1999-2005 then Fairy Tail 2006 - 2017. That's an incredible near two decade run he put in for WSM with top sellers.
>>290262453Piccolo-san!
>>290263297Hole on the old man's chest is gone.
>>290263450>looks like you managed to get yourself knocked up pretty badlyHuh?
>>290262693God, I can practically hear the JRPG transition/battle music from this page.
>>290263905>should be handed over to the governmentFuck no, what the hell is he thinking?
>>290262918SUPLEX
>>290266433Thanks. I remember reading this, but I forgot almost everything.
The background in this is screaming Dragon Ball and One Piece.
>>290261348>>290261353Looks like early Oda. Is this any good?
>>290261348Of all the Mashima manga I’ve read over the years, I somehow never got to Rave. I’ve heard nothing but good things about this series and I’m interested in seeing what sort of things were introduced here that would end up making their way to Fairy Tail. Cheers anons!
>>290273443Well, Plue for one.
>>290273443>>290273621Can't forget Mashima's own self-insert. We'll meet him down the line.
>>290266433Cheers OP! Hopefully the fake Rave fan who plagues every FT thread with his AI spam and tries to force consolewars stays far away from this storytime.
>>290273848But . . . Rave's heroine IS the tard.
>>290273241>>290273394Glad I wasn't the only one that felt that way. Kinda neat to see the similarilities of the two blended with a distinct Mashima-ness.
>>290262097>>290262123Man I forgot just how "We have One Piece at home" the early volumes were
>>290274007And Mashima's art never really escaped that "We have One Piece at home" feel sadly.
>>290274234By around the Edolas arc of Fairy Tail Mashima's art blows anything Oda has done out of the water.
