Decided to give picreal a read for nostalgic purposes and man, it's just IMPECCABLY drawn. Cleanest shit ever, filled with detailed drawings of mechanics, architecture etc.I kinda got used to popular manga like modern jjk/csm looking like rushed shit
To be fair Fujimoto and Gege are bottom of the barrel artists, Fujimoto is easily the worst jump artitst right now
it's just some good shit!
can’t think of a single modern shonen with good art. plenty of shoujo though. but that’s more thanks to feminism than anything else. it doesn’t pay to make boys manga anymore
I'm reading appleseed and it's kinda shocking how most panels are actual scenes, most newer manga (like the past 15 years maybe) are mostly face closeups or le epic anime moneyshots it seems
even scenes that are just talking are fleshed out and cinematic in a sense
>>7134319>can’t think of a single modern shonen with good art.It's weird. We had kny some time ago which looked objectively nice. There's also a rotting corpse of mha still going on (i think? Maybe it's over idk) and it's great on technical level but the stylisation is so unpleasant it makes me want to vomit. I have no idea why mha face was ever a thing
>>7134321>>7134325>>7134326yeah, you guys should take note of these and stop imitating trash
>>7134321shame he only does coom now.
>>7134345he was always a cumbrain, you can feel him fighting himself in his manga, the real problem is he took the digitalpill
>>7134345>>7134360Nah, he earned it. Given when he achieved in such a short span of time, and given the massive influence his work has had on artists, storytellers, animators, etc, I don't think it's a shame he pivoted so hard into digital porn at all.Most creators only have so many "paradigm shattering" works in them. He could have just kept rehashing his ideas over and over, but that would have led to stagnation. He knew he had reached the end. He showed everyone the "serious" side of himself, all that was left was the unhinged sexuality.He's lived a full and authentic creative life. He left no stone unturned. He's ascended to a well earned coomer nirvana, and basically just frolics like an innocent, liberated child in sexual ecstasies of his own making.
>>7134345>>7134360>>7134420He became the coomlord. I like shirow a lot btw.
>>7134304Nta but didn't Fujimoto declare recently that he wanted to stop doing the art for CSM so he could focus on the story? I think that might be for the best for the sake of his work as it's pretty clear that Fujimoto is a writer, first and foremost, rather than an artist.
KagurabachiYes I know it's the "funny" meme but I want to appreciate the art of this mangaIt's really good and the art can be quite detailed at times. The backgrounds are detailed and the setting feels "lived in" and it's impressive because apparently the artist started drawing manga during covid for fun >>7134334Kny's early artstyle made me think the art was bad but looking back on it Gotogue had a solid understanding of perspective, anatomy, and the like, just didn't make complicated things all the timeGotogue's art grew on me honestly and I appreciate it, I think I just thought because the anime looks amazing that the manga would look just as complicated
>>7134597he said he wanted to make movies or just write the story for his manga
>>7134296It was a monthly series, so compare it to monthly series.>>7134321>>7134325>>7134326>Originally published in Japan in 1985, Book One Appleseed: The Promethean Challenge was published directly to paperback instead of being serialized, a rarity in the Japanese manga market.[2] This was soon followed by the publication of Book Two, Appleseed: Prometheus Unbound, Book Three Appleseed: The Scales of Prometheus in 1987, and Book Four Appleseed: The Promethean Balance in 1989. The fifth volume was serialized in Seishinsha's Comic Gaia in 1991, but was suspended because, in Masamune Shirow's words, "this form of serialization still did not suit Appleseed".TL;DR: It wasn't serialized in the first place, the dude put it out straight to book, releasing roughly one a year. For comparison, a weekly series releases FIVE books a year, and a monthly releases around 2 or 3 typically (depending on pagecount of the chapters).So in other words, you're only surprised because you're an ignorant retard. If you want nice drawings, stop being a retard and read monthly manga. But you won't, because all you want to do is cry about modern manga and jerk off over older stuff. You don't even read manga.
weekly series were a mistake
>>7134710where did I compare it to weeklies or monthlies, retard? the volumes don't even have any sort of chapter structure, you stupid nigger, nobody who ever read it thought it was serialized, retarded fucking faggot
>>7134710That looks like shit.
>>7134710which manga is picrel from>>7134736cope harder retard
>>7134710>posts a page with a figure, a bust and no background
>>7134742seethe more
>>7134734>I kinda got used to popular manga like modern jjk/csm looking like rushed shitRight here nigger.Oh, you're not OP? Sorry for making that assumption, but it sure looked like you were OP.In any case, the point stands. You're still crying that modern manga doesn't look like it despite the fact that it was released in an unusual format where the author had much more time to work on it than most manga, not just "most modern manga". So in the end your comparison is pointless, it's a different format unusual even for the time. Why does most manga not feel like Appleseed? Because most manga were not made like Appleseed was.>>7134736Cope, in 30 years people will be crying about how manga doesn't look exactly like this, just like you fags do for stuff from the 90s. Guess what, there will be better stuff than this in 30 years too.>>7134744Read it for yourself.
>>7134759>turbo newfag can't into 4chan threadlurk before posting, I'm not op
>>7134761Do you think it's unusual for an OP to make multiple posts in their thread or something? Who's the newfag here?
>retard can't into reply chain>retard can't into ipsno (You)s, go back
>>7134710>>7134759Ok but what does witch bore atelier has to do with popular manga
>>7134597CSM art fell apart when the Dandandan guy stopped being an assistant and started his own manga. Dandandan guy was hard carrying CSM the entire time but no one knew it.
>>7134710>It was a monthly series, so compare it to monthly seriesI mean, so it's AOT yet Isayama draws worse than Gege despite having more experience
>>7134663Wish the faces looked better and less soulless/off though, is this problem still persistent in recent chapters?
>>7134296his left eye looks wierd, tho. Don't think it should shrink that much at this angle. Other than that, agreed
>>7134319More like, why draw weekly shonen that's practically destined to fail and get axed when you get ten times more with ten times less effort by drawing porn
>Kishiro was in his early/mid 20s when he made Battle Angel AlitaHow did he do it bros? Is talent real after all?
>>7135097
Shounen manga that zoomers must read in order to have taste>Ashita No Joe>Devilman>Fist Of The North Star>Death Note>Fullmetal Alchemist>Jojo's Bizarre Adventure>Ranma 1/2>Urusei Yatsura>Dr. Slump & Arale>Dragon Ball>Slam Dunk>Kakugo No Susume>Spriggan>Trigun Maximum>Yu Yu Hakusho>Rurouni Kenshin>Shaman King>Yu-Gi-Oh!>Eyeshield 21>Groove Adventure Rave
>>7134296I thought the manga artist for blue lock was pretty good. I don't like shounen and sports shit even less but I read about a hundred chapters for the art
>>7135146>Kakugo No SusumeHoly fuck i didn't know shigurui guy had more works
>>7134710>ummmm eckschüyelly it only looks better because it had more care, thought and effort put into it, you idiot???
>>7134296most people think the monthly mangakas with extremely detailed scenes are the superior artists but there is some serious technical chops in a lot of the seemingly not so detailed mangastake kishimoto for example, his mastery of perspective is nutty
>>7134759>>7134710stop posting f/a/ggot
>>7135056I never had a problem with the faces personally, I think it's just a personal preference, and the fact it's kinda cartoonish because it is a manga after allMaybe it's the eyes?
>>7135421Never said anything bad about Kishi. Anyone who says het a bad artist is out of mind
>>7135421>>7135559note the thread isn't about artists, but art
For me, it's Takei Hiroyuki
>>7135583Btw, are there any modern manga artists skilled when it comes to specifically mecha and armors?
>>7135587no, mecha manga and mech designers don't exist
>>7134296FMA is just really fucking good. Story-wise as well. Pretty amazing it is both written and drawn by the same person.
>>7134321I should rewatch appleseed and read the manga. I was probably way too young to get it but I remember it being very badass
>>7135097No, but dedication is, and you don't have It.
yeah no shit it's amazing it's fullmetal fucking alchemist
>>7134325>>7134326looks very cluttered desu
>>7134597i hate him
>>7135587Dandadan's artist
>>7134319Dandadan, although the artist has been slipping a bit, lately.
>>7134663Dogshit manga
>>7136258Cope. Do you really think you could practice basketball enough to be better then Michael Jordan. Or read enough books to be smarter then Albert Einstein. You have a gentic ceiling on everything you do, no matter how hard you try.
>>7135056>>7135480i think the problem with this guy's faces, and my personal pet peeve with pretty much most modern manga, is that they utterly lack any dimensionality or form, and he's ultimately yet another example of the manga industry "flanderizing" the anime style into odd caricatures of itself. It's like this guy monkey-step-laddered his way into drawing, and it's unfortunate that this guy is now locked into a serialization and unlikely to ever really improve. picrel is all i had on hand and isn't really a fantastic showcase of the great 3d faces in the series, but the artist definitely has a level of mastery over form that im really a fan of.
>>7136258Why is 4chan like this so much lolyou can't just say a thing, it needs some meaningless insult tacked on, you dont even know the guy
>>7135056these faces are fantastic, you don't know what you're talking about
>>7144497oh shit I totally forgot about this manga I really need to catch up on it, it's fantastic
>>7135056They look fine it's a fucking weekly manga, they can't add a lot of detail
>>7144916unironically read dragonball
