What the fuck happened

Why only face shots? Bleach for example used to have much better background art.

he went from black backgrounds to white backgrounds

>>157310403
Actual is not the word you want to use, kraut. Use a dictionary.

>>157310918

he went from art style to no fucking art style

>>157310587
I like both styles. His earlier one definitely had a bit more character to it, but his current one is so nice and clean.

>>157310928

which word should I use?
"recent"?
"present" ?

>>157311002
Sure those work. Other options are "current" or "now".

He needs a Murata/OnePunch style treatment.

>>157310947

His current one is more "aesthetic" than his earlier one but, he used to draw more shadows for elements like the eyes, noses, arms, etc.

He used to draw backgrounds too.

really wanna do more then just start and end but not sure where I should be picking from

As the art gets better, the story gets worse.

Is there a series that didn't suffer this?

>>157311885
Air Gear, there's no coherent story to begin with.

>>157311933
The story got worse anyway.

>>157311948
You really shouldn't take Air Gear as anything other than an artbook, the story going from one nonsense to the next doesn't really matter much.

>>157311692
I want to reread this, but I know that final two arcs won't have the emotional impact as they did the first time.

>>157311933

>Air Gear

Damn, i forgot that shit existed

How did it end? Did the MC fuck the pink haired girl?

>>157311885
Naruto. the art and story got worse over time.

>>157311933
Might as well just mention Oh Great as a whole.

Damn, i thought only Berserk suffered that

>>157319458
The image server seems to be down.

>>157310587
For some reason I can't stand his style, I think it's the faces/expressions

>>157319594

The new one or the old one?

>>157318465
The later style looks smoother and less old school. I like it.

>>157310587
From generic shounen #678926 to unique style.

Based Kubo.

>>157311609
No, you just have plebshit taste

>>157310700
Bimbofication?

>>157320079

>>157320052
left looks 80s and right looks 90s

>>157319489
no clue how you got that
first AMG pic suffers from a major case of the derpface

>>157310403
I know people place 80s artstyle above all others without exception but modern berserk was one of the few manga that gave me a boner by merely watching it


>>157311123
don't remind me ;_;

>>157310797
>Bleach for example used to have much better background art.
>mfw Soul eater started off with bonkers backgrounds that contributed more to the identity of the series than the storyline itself and ended with vague shapes, empty black spaces and traced photos
>mfw I have no face

>>157310587

You can shit talk a lot of stuff about Bleach, but Kubo's art is not one of those things. His art only got better imo. He was a master of using the contrast between black and white in his panels.

>>157320370
>He was a master of using the contrast between black and white in his panels.
no

>>157310700
this is your imouto on guts.

>>157310403
New chapter fucking when? This guy is worse than Murata and Togashi.

Kubo stated that he used less backgrounds because as a reader, you would put less atention to the characters.

There's a Berserk edit where they take the background of a panel and it shows that Kubo was right .

>>157310700

Yeah, the character art in current Berserk borders on the grotesque at times.

>>157310403
These threads are always fun and great, good job OP.

>>157320487

That guy has some kind of OCD

When he was in SJ he couldn't finish on time because he would write and scrap his work over and over again, he fucking had around 5-10 assistants and still couldn't finish on time.

Or maybe he stop caring about Bastard after the clusterfuck the battle vs Uriel turned out (6 fucking volumes for a single fight)

>>157310652
Eh, I don't think this pic does him justice. Lazy=/=bad skill. He got really lazy later on, and that time he hurt his wrist really bad didn't help either, but we've seen very recent artwork -related and unrelated to HxH- that's really fucking good and very solid in art fundamentals. There's no doubt about Togashi's skillset as an artist., he just needs to be in optimal conditions. Which he often isn't.

>>157317318
>the first 12 volumes before plot happens are sort of eh
>the first twelve fucking volumes are bad, but then there's a plot!
That seems like an instant dealbreaker to me.

>>157320666

Well, One Piece was fucking shit in the first volumes until Arlong Park/ Logue Town.

>>157320666
I can't remember what the first 12 volumes were about, but from what I can remember from the series, there is no real overall plot until a bit later on.
The premise of the series are dolls trying to become the demon king. And I think the first 12 volumes are just random little fights and character development or so until shit gets serious. And you start getting actual arcs.

It's really good, and these little fights are worth it, because there's only 100 dolls.

>>157320487
*Miura and Togashi

>>157310615

Damn, i don't remember Naruto looking this shit at the beginning
