Nagano is a goddamn genius

That's some pretty basic DEEP shit that any 16 year old would think up for this kind of concept

I'd hardly call him a genius

Nagano is about as deep as a kiddy pool.

Nagano is an illuminati puppet.

? I think one is Tomino, but what's the other one?

>>10998052
Turn A (might as well be Tomino), and SRW

>>10998032
Because of a group of people who are butthurt over things Nagano has said (some of which he may have actually said!), namely not liking Turn A designs, not wanting his stuff to be in SRW, saying how LED Mirage was the most powerful in a tongue in cheek statement. And he gets accusations of driving his franchise into the ground.

So naturally, the threat of Nagano-related threads getting derailed is so high, the fanbase has gotten stupidly defensive. So legitimate criticisms of Nagano are ignored.

I don't know, the thing concerning Nagano and those cancelled toys was not met with any resistance in the previous thread. What seems to be the big issue is that some two people will argue over something small, and then trolls hop in and inflate the argument. That's how that horrific thread with the Super vs. Real debate came to be, anyways.

In any case, Nagano and Katoki seem to be the prime target of /m/'s hate for whatever reason. Both have legitimate reasons for any criticism against them, but most people dislike Nagano because of the popular facts/rumors rather than the more legitimate claims (it's sad how many people still think he was actually serious about that LED Mirage quote).

If you follow the works that Nagano has produced over the course of his career, he drops many a hint as to the evolution of his esoteric understanding. I can tell you this much: he knows a lot more than he lets on and possesses anunderstanding of very occulted concepts that you will not obtain simply by reading books.

There is sooooooo much more to FSS than most people will ever realize. Many many years ago, I think that Nagano was quoted as saying that FSS should be viewed as a fairy tale. I will go one step further and correct what I can only imagine was a translation mistake. FSS should be considered as a very rich and complex allegory. I provided some hints with regards to Amaterasu above, and I encourage people to reflect on the series as a whole if they feel inspired.

I believe the only worthwhile reason to dislike Nagano is the fact that he just never finishes his stories. Like some mangakas, spending more than 20 years with something and not finishing it just leads to frustration on the readers' part.

I always wanted to read FSS, I loved the OVA and I really enjoy Nagano's designs in L-Gaim; but I never even attempeted to start it on the notion that IF he ever finishes it (and someone dares to translate it) I won't remember a thing/won't have an emotional attachment to the story anymore. Same reason why I never went too far with Berserk.

>>10999286
Don't let that hold you back- FSS is not a linear manga like Berserk.

FSS is not a linear story- it was designed specifically so that the author would never have to worry about establishing a beginning or ending. Nagano wrote the entire timeline of the universe way back in his 80s L-Gaim days and then proceeded to slap it onto every volume of FSS thereafter. We know every single important event that took place in the FSS universe from the Super Empire's war with the Dragons and SATAN to the end of the Joker Galaxy in JC 7777. Even with the recent Gothicmade retcon of the mecha, the 30 year-old timeline still remains the same. In that sense, FSS doesn't follow traditional story-telling norms because it lives up to its name-its just a random collection of Stories from a universe with 5 Star systems. It's something that will never really be complete in manga form, because it was purposely designed so that Nagano can draw any portion of it he desired at any time without changing the core concepts of the universe, something that other series like Gundam, Bersek, and Macross have more or less completely violated. It's absolutely ingenious. The journey is what matters, not the destination. There's references all over the manga that reinforce this, like the concept of the Fatima Fates. Even then, FSS is composed of many different arcs and sidestories, and literally has no single protagonist.

A good comparison to FSS isn't a long-time running manga like Berserk, but Universal Century Gundam. Like FSS, UC Gundam has ran for decades now and is composed of multiple different plotlines that take place within that universe. However, its a story designed so that it would be impossible to retcon as a whole like what Unicorn did. People tend to forget that FSS is not merely a manga, its a self-contained experience, much like UC Gundam.

So is this faggot the new Obari? /m/ certainly hasn't bandwagoned this hard for a mecha designer since Obari.

>>10999491
>So is this faggot the new Obari?
No, because Obari's designs are consistently excellent.

Nagano's designs are mostly terrible, though there are a few gems to be found. Most of them come from his work on L-Gaim and Brain Powered, but FSS has included a handful of good designs as well.

>>10999501
>Obari's designs are consistently excellent.

Stopped reading right there.

Speaking of Five Star Stories, does anyone have download links? I -think- I have volumes 1-10 somewhere, but I've only ever had raws of 11 and 12, and anything thereafter. (Has anything else come out after 12? I remember 12 was the most recent volume released when I was digging up the series a number of years back)

>>10999557
NyaaTorrent or some other torrent website has them. It's not hard to find RAWs. Volume 13 is coming out later this year.

>>10999460
nice, coherent reply to my original one:>>10999286
I will probably check it out if I bump into some sort of collection of all released volumes in english on MEGA or NYA. Gotta admit though, I'm still not sold in the whole concept cause even if it's like you put it, I still can't shake the feeling that he probably leaves a lot of characters' fate/stories unresolved.

Not him, but I think what really makes the CE characters look rather childish is their faces, particularly their huge eyes. That's a flaw with any anime artstyle though. Nagano's faces, other than the older derp examples >>11001938 and >>11001917, tend to look more realistic with the smaller eyes and more noticeable facial features. And quite frankly, what I disliked about Nagano's older character designs wasn't their proportions (which if you look at other 80's character designs, are just as string-bean as anything Nagano ever did), but the fact that their faces were creepy and bug-eyed.

Nagano's newer character designs are retro with a modern twist, like what we see in Unicorn and the Origin. Captain Earth is generic modern anime character designs #99999.

It's funny how many people actually find the Kimura's girls attractive when they're essentially the same as Nagano's designs but with tits, ass, and a more generic animu face. I guess that's why Nagano is a fashion designer whereas the rest of /m/ isn't.

>>11001912
Obari has never really been much of a character designer. But if he has a competent designer, he can do a fantastic job putting their designs to animation. That's been consistent through his entire career.

Not him, but everyone in this thread is being stupidly defensive. That's why FSS threads always get fucked- you have the defensive Naganofags, but then some "internet badass" like >>11002148 will try to appear and argue with them just to see if they can get the last word.

Don't forget the outlandish costumes Nagano makes his characters wear in the lineart. Remember back when all the Fatimas had those ridiculous shoulder pads?

What makes >>11001200 look so much better than his other character designs is because she's wearing casual, non pseudo-medival clothing. And unfortunately, most people don't know that this is what the characters look like 99% of the time in the manga, but avoid it anyway just because they were turned off by the colored lineart.

>>11002265
When did his art become a parody of itself?

>Yeah, because that's totally what I was thinking of when I watched Geass.

I didn't have such an issue. They had enough differences to tell them apart. Then again, I don't have any problems with Leiji Matsumoto only knowing how to draw three or four different types of human beings that all look very similar (beautiful women, brave men, potato heads, etc.).

Nor with having non-Gundam characters who look like Char or Amuro in some of the manga works from the same character designer/animator.

Elaborate references don't make you a genius.

Genius is delivering complex feels very efficiently.

Because Z Define is less a 'The Origin' style expansion of the world, more Kitazume just rewriting and retuning Z to be more in line with his work on CDA.

It's certainly not being treated with the significance of The Origin in any case.

Not that Anon, but I'm cool with the choice of authors personally. It really fits because of their level of involvement in their respective series (yas with 0079, Kitazume with Define). Anyways I find Define a pretty decent manga, even with its few flaws, but I digress.

>>11005598
>level of involvement

Kitazume really wasn't that big a player in Zeta though.
He handled animation on 8 episodes (kind of scattered throughout the series) and the animation on the OPs and EDs.

Pretty far cry from Yasuhiko's level of involvement in MSG.
