Title. I don't see many people mentioning Norihiro Yagi for example when Claymore has a great dark fantasy aesthetic and creative monster designs. Such a shame the newer series he did look so much blander by comparison.
Ariadne was his first weekly series. It's not like he just chose to draw it worse.
>>7437043imo kotoyama is criminally underrated. just wish he made a more action oriented manga, cotn has cool action scenes but its mostly romcom
>>7437043some cool monster designs. he cant really draw faces. action gets messy and unreadable by the end of claymore. just giant monsters and explosions and clouds covering up whats going on. but definitely was a step above most generic tracers and 3d using mangaka.
>>7437043>>7437447>3d using mangakaI've been reading a lot of manga and webtoons recently just to have an idea of how good I need to be for a webtoon contest and I overestimated pro manga artists.
>>7437460Look at picrel it's laughable.
>>7437460I should write a parody manga where 3d model creatures are a lower class. That dragon is really funny.
From After God by Sumi Eno.
>>7437408it's problem is being a boring shounen battler, i completely forgot it existed in spite of reading a bunch of it and loving his other stuff.hell, the art is way better than angel densetsu, but it's also far less interesting.
>>7437460>Japanese humor
>>7437438>imo kotoyama>underrateddid you just discover anime
>>7438951>did you just discover animeno. he just draws nicely and no one talks about it
>>7437043Taniguchi Jiroui just like his art. it screams 80s/90s soul, it's just honest and simple.
>>7437043Hiroaki Samura doesn't get talked about nearly enough.
