Trigun Maximum

>>153331177 (OP)
You said "Maximum", not "Trigun". Do you mean that Nightow's art got worse over time (less 90s Moebius-era texture, a lot more simplified and standard) or do you think his art was always bad? Because if it's the former then I get what you mean but if it's the latter then I HUGELY disagree.

I personally think even the later volumes of Trigun have at least PRETTY GOOD art. Kekkai Sensen is pure ass and laziness through and though, though.

I miss when Nightow would draw rough surfaces like this. I guess either he or an editor decided that look was "dated" and modern action manga has to be more simple and sleek or some shit.

I love the amount of texture he gave stuff

You're right, they should be standing

Nightow was a baby when he drew this but it looks better than every 2-page spread I've seen from his new manga

Reading Trigun (not maximum) I couldn't make out what was happening most of the time and somehow I still didn't drop it. I guess I just really liked the setting.

That sounds like an over-exaggeration to me. I'll agree some pages don't read too well but most of it does and the characters being so tall and lanky can make for very readable silhouettes & poses. It's no better or worse than say Jojo at readability, I'd say.

The one thing Nightow SUCKS at is drawing faces in a solid three-dimensional way. They can be very expressive, but from a pure objective illustration craft standpoint they're often a mess.

I wish Nightow's SLEEK AND MODERN style took more inspiration from Mike Mignola instead of generic action manga

You're a funny one.

This thread needs more musical underlining

...fuck, you got me. That looks great.

I'll admit I just skimmed through a bunch of chapters and decided "this must be the overall style, and I like Trigun more". The AVERAGE page did look less appealing to me, but I guess there are some really dramatic ones that have a lot of effort put into them. The thing is I came across some "epic" action pages during my skimming that looked like they were supposed to pop out and they seemed poor and lazy; a lot of ugly screentones instead of the hand-drawn messiness of that image.

For years I thought of it as a less interesting and more traditionally modern shonen fighting equivalent to Ashita no Joe, but now I might be more accepting of something that's kinda generic but executed well. The music's great and some scenes look amazingly animated especially later on.

What's that genre anyway? Junkyard blues or something like that? Same with stuff like Borderlands etc. I find it hard to find lots of music for that style

>>153333817
Actually I have a friend who has a TON of that sort of music but he never told me what it could be categorized as. He only comes online about once a month though but he has an insane musical collection and fucking endless knowledge (also he thinks Nightow action is pretty cool).

You can give me your email or I could give you yours and I'll contact you when he recs me similar stuff.

yeah I'll keep it in mind, we always end up talking about anime/game music at some point so it'll be on my mind

neat gif!

I always thought that they sounded pretty similar, I never realized that they were actually from the same guy
