Not him, but he didn't meh every answer. He only went meh to the art from one specific source. Lots of other answers went unmeh'd. And while I wouldn't call that art meh, I don't agree that Ishikawa's is superior or that Miura's is inferior for being too clean.

I've seen barely barely of what he did given his colossal output, but from what I have seen Beast Machine Corps is some of the best Ishikawa art. Absolutely wonderful mix of solid hyper-detail & irreverently ugly (in a good way) cartooniness.

>>14549117
I'm not surprised this anon >>14549428 said "meh"; I think your first pic is nothing special and the second one would probably be great in better-quality. Hideously filtered.

"Too clean" is a really vague criticism to throw at Miura & Nagai since Miura's textured way of drawing shading feels anything but "sleek and beautiful" and stuff like Devilman is full of totally chaotic pages. Nagai's real issue is that he peaked early on when he focused on what he was really good at (striking composition with a lot of contrast, dynamic use of lines, cartoony aesthetics) and not even Shin Violence Jack, which looks pretty fucking cool, managed to live up to the sheer hyper-expressiveness of old Devilman & Jack at their best.

Miura is great and I feel that many people shit on him just to be contrarian, but I feel that sometimes his poses could be more lively and his compositions can mash together in a sorta bland way at times without being broken up in an interesting manner.

I'd love to hear what anime/manga the people taking issue with the OP's post consider to be "true masterpieces". I suspect the real reason you guys got asshurt is that you think it's inherently wrong to call ANY comic or cartoon a "masterpiece" because it's too earnestly dorky and not "cool self aware internet man" enough.

I'm not even a huge Berserk fan; I just think it makes good use of its influences and executes it all in a classy way (at least, as classy as a manga where the protagonist shouts "DON'T BE POPPING A BONER OVER MY HEAD" can get) and I understand why it's the favorite of many people. The only issue I have with it is that its fans never give any credit to Violence Jack.

Yeah sure but I don't think people who really love a thing should start being excessively self-aware about it just because it got popular. There's a lot of stuff I think is fantastic, from super-popular series to stuff that's obscure and considered "legendarily bad" by the tiny amount of people that are even aware of it.

I'll agree that a lot of Berserk fans are cringey morons but the same applies to Ishikawa fans on /m/. The only anime/manga without that kind of fans are the ones that lack a cohesive internet fanbase.

Basically, if something is popular and good it'll attract people who are utterly ignorant of the medium and think it's "the only good anime/manga" (or "one of the only good ones" blahblah)

If it's great and lesser known it'll attract people who want to look cool for being "knowledgeable, intellectual elites"

To elaborate on this every time I google "Berserk manga" and get a bunch of ebin two-page spreads I come across some that can be tiring to look at because they're really, really visually busy. It's not always the case but it's common enough that I think it's worth pointing out.

But at the same time I can't think of a better-drawn dark fantasy manga for the life of me.

Are you kidding? Nausicaa gets a ton of "actually, it's overrated" reactions on /a/ purely on account of being Miyazaki (a lot of it also being moe/lolifag asshurt and I'm saying this as someone who likes moelolishit). Some of it made some sense like one guy saying comic books aren't Miyazaki's forte and that his paneling & whatnot are not very good, but then you had shit like the retard saying "even Dragonball has a more creative and well executed universe!" which is pure contrarianism and one step less retarded than saying "30s Popeye has a better universe than Cowboy Bebop".
>>
>>14553810
>Nausicaa gets a ton of "actually, it's overrated" reactions on /a/

News to me. Most of the time people talk about it, it's pretty much agreed that it's his best work, and all his movies are sorely lacking in comparison. It's hard to believe the same man who wrote Nausicaa also gave us the shitpile of a story that was Howl's Moving Castle and Ponyo.
>>
>>14553821
I actually thought the same as you for a while, especially given that it's like... the anti-Miyazaki in a lot of ways given the ending and the ultimate message of the story. But nah, people just have a hate boner against Miyazaki.

The difference between Nausicaa and Howl is that the Nausicaa manga is probably his most honest work but Howl is his least honest. With the latter he was just thoughtlessly shitting out "the Miyazaki brand".

I've not seen Ponyo but people's main criticism of it seems to be that it's "kiddy" so I doubt I'd hate it.

Are there any professional manga authors that take really clear visual influence from Ishikawa except I guess the Basilisk guy (who ruins his art with lame effects and ugly backgrounds)?

>>14553832
Nagai left his mark so hugely on anime/manga that every big scary monster has the Devilman/Mazinger/Mao Dante/etc parallelogram eyes; Guts, Eva Unit 01, Noroi from Gamba no Boken, Tora from Ushio & Tora, the list fucking goes on. But I never see the defining aspects of Ishikawa's style & design pop up in anything.
>>
>>14553829
No, Howl was 100% Miyazaki being honest. He shoehorned in the whole "muh war" thing in response to the US occupation in Iraq, same reason he didn't attend the Oscars for Spirited Away as a form of protest. The problem is that he fucked over the original novels in the process and couldn't think of anything to make the story stand on its own. Basically, it was Miyazaki finally starting to grow senile.

Miyazaki's least honest work is Kiki, he actually admitted that he thought the film was too naive.

>I've not seen Ponyo but people's main criticism of it seems to be that it's "kiddy" so I doubt I'd hate it.

No, "kiddy" isn't the issue, because most of Miyazaki's movies are pretty kiddy. What makes Ponyo such a piece of garbage is that the execution was lazy, and you had to have a high bullshit tolerance level beyond understanding a Tomino series.

I think the "war is bad and can be easily avoided" bullshit is just the public image Miyazaki wants to have for himself and deep inside he realizes that, fuck it, sometimes you have to obliterate your enemy because coexistence is impossible. Anno thinks the same about Miyazaki from what I gather and they're good friends.

I could see him being against the Iraq war in particular but I can't really imagine him seriously thinking Howl made a good anti-war statement. It was an utterly garbage fucking script and the ending was outright comedic.

Nigga are you telling me Dragonball DOESN'T have a creative and well executed universe? Do you have any idea how much thought is put into the lore and technology there? Are you the same faggot going on the "Lazy Matsumoto" shitposting spree? All the pieces add up.

By the way, Dragonball and DBZ aren't the same thing. Dragonball is considered a classic original masterpiece and has been far more important to manga as a whole than Berserk or Nausicaa could ever dream of. The series defined the shounen genre and set the standard for character movement on a level that surpassed Tezuka at the time.

>My point wasn't that one is good and the other is bad, but that it's an apples-and-oranges comparison.

I haven't read Nausicaa so I can't comment on that, but any setting can be compared to one another. But it would have to be a fucking monster to even be able to top the universe of DB in just how fleshed out it is.

Setting is setting. There are no apples and oranges. A good setting can be spotted from a bad setting right away. See: typical generic light novels like Sword Art Online. Whoever that guy was that said Dragonball had a better setting than Nausicaa, I can't blame him. Dragonball's setting is that good.

Probably, but it doesn't change the fact that his question has no clear meaning, little relevance to mecha, and that he's also very likely from /v/ or at least has little to no familiarity with manga beyond Berserk, leaving no reason to entertain his shitty request thread - except to prove whatever point about Berserk only ever getting criticized because of a conspiracy to hate anything popular, apparently.

Yeah sure but by those standards some "muh loomis" /ic/ users are "better draftsmen" than multiple iconic manga authors. As long as you can draw solidly enough to get your vision across, inventiveness matters more than the super-technical side of drawing to me.

Don't get me wrong, Ishikawa's superior skill in those areas helped him and he was also very inventive; I just don't want to be dismissive of Nagai when he created so much iconic imagery and understood his medium so well. Ishikawa himself would not be either even though I'm sure deep inside he knew he beat Nagai in multiple areas.

>Anno: I felt like it was the same as what I [was doing]. After that I couldn’t help but make [the work into] Nausicaa, to treat the same themes as the seventh volume of Nausicaa.

>Oizumi: Nausicaa was unable to live as one of the ancients.

>Anno: She rejected coexistence [with them]. She bloodied her hands so that her own people would survive. That was good. This karmic punishment that required [her] to destroy [them] with the abhorred fire of the God Warriors – that was good (laughing). [Good] because the true views of Hayao Miyazaki were expressed, and there, at least, he took off his underwear [and showed himself naked].

You have no idea what you're taking about. It is well noted that Miyazaki used the Nausicaa manga as an outlet of expressing things that he deemed too unpalatable for the general audience that his films were primarily aimed at.

That anon is correct. Miyazaki has stated multiple times that he ads certain themes to his films (and he has specifically mentioned pacifism and environmentalism in interviews) because the audience wants those sorts of themes.
>>
>>14557026
The image composition in Berserk is not that good, and the majority of his poses are extremely stiff and unnatural looking. The level of detail in a panel is usually pretty uneven. You get plenty of panels where one corner of the panel is full of detailed line-work, while the other just has the outlines slapped on and that's it. It's like he gets bored with completing the drawing, says "fuck it" and moves on to the next panel where he does the same.

Ishikawa simply does better looking monstrosities than Miura. Nagai too.

Pic related looks better than OP's pic imo.

I find Berserk's art overrated as fuck.

The first 2 points are a harsher version of what I said earlier. Posing is not Miura's strongest point but I wouldn't say most of them are bad; however it's clear he's not mastered gesture the way that people like Hiroaki Samura have.

I do think he's really good at creating striking imagery in terms of sheer design creativity & building a stylistically cohesive world. I disagree with >>14558496 about his monster designs, I think he's fucking fantastic at it. And as much as I love Ishikawa I think that picture is a bit of a clusterfuck the same way a lot of Miura's worst compositions are.

I also think Ishikawa & Nagai did some fantastic creature/monster designs but I think they aim for a different thing. Nagai's best monsters in my opinion are his really hyper-stylized ones and Ishikawa is going more for a crazy badass look while Miura's creatures aim for "grotesque & bizarre yet natural"

I think this is Nagai's best monster design, at least from what I've read/seen, and it's such a different style I feel it would be futile to say which is "better". I think both excel at what they try to do.

Miura's Nagai influence is actually more obvious in the way he draws humans.

really I think Nagai's best monsters are his cartooniest while Miura's best are the most natural-looking.

I really love Miura trolls because they remind me of the "trolls" in the Huygen&Portvliet Gnomes book.
I'm sure others understand what I'm talking about.

Nagai's late monster art look way less cartoony than what he was doing in the 70s.

Jinmen in Nagai's Devilman Lady.

Way less cartoony looking than the original.
>>
A lot of things, because Berserk is terribly overrated and Miura will probably lose interest completely or die before it's done, because he's evidently more interested in playing Idolmaster than tending to his own creation.

I suppose it was my first, but that was over a decade ago and I still love it. I did cringe a bit at OP calling it a masterpiece (and it comes off baitish), but I think it is very high quality.

>Miyazaki has stated multiple times that he ads certain themes to his films (and he has specifically mentioned pacifism and environmentalism in interviews) because the audience wants those sorts of themes.

I have never seen him say this. If you honestly believe that Miyazaki supports any kind of militarism or obliterating another enemy, you know nothing about the man. Did you forget the many times he protested the military, like recently with wanting US troops to leave Okinawa and demanding Abe from re-mililitarizing the country?

"Hello i am Miyazaki and the genocide of your enemies is sometimes a necessity in war." If you can find that EXACTLY, then you have a point. Otherwise you might want to take that dick out of your mouth before speaking.

Well one of the main things that makes Berserk Berserk is the fact that it isn't finished after decades. I can't think of any /m/ manga that has is still on going for a similar length of time. The closest I can think of is the Evangelion manga which took almost 20 years to finally finish.
