How will Saitama react when he finds Garou is just some guy he casually swatted away a couple of times?

Murata fanboying over Toriyama. It's cute. He also says that ONE is his favourite mangaka. https://twitter.com/ChuckConcrete/status/926979168356700160

I did not realize Murata had kids, I've always thought of him as the young newcomer but I guess that's really not right since he's been in the scene for a long time now.

Yeah, same. * does a quick google* Oh, he's 39. And here I was thinking he was in his twenties or something. Well that makes sense.

He posted one of his kid's drawing once and she's already fantastic. And I know I post this a lot but ONE is insanely good. I'm glad that Murata gave him that shout-out. Elentor fucked around with this message at 03:30 on Nov 6, 2017 |

Toriyama is a legit fantastic artist. He's got a great sense of pacing, comedic timing and of course, his fight scenes are great. Not to mention the guy seemed to crap out a ton of iconic character designs like it was nothing. Monaghan fucked around with this message at 05:53 on Nov 6, 2017 |

The only problem Toriyama has as an artist is that he's kinda stuck with his character designs. You've got your Piccolos, your Gokus, your Bulmas, your Lunch/Launchs etc. Then again when said designs have pretty much made your career how much can you blame a dude for sticking to what he knows?

Asimo posted:Yeah, people tend to underestimate Toriyama since he's been drawing forever and a lot of stuff in his name is actually being done/drawn by his studio but if you go look at the dragonball manga proper or any of the other things he's done personally over the years it's easy to see it's got amazing layout and clear action. He's astoundingly good. Someone posted a link in the Dragonball topic a long while back, to a dissemination of Toriyama's art and why it's good and it's an amazing read. It isn't nearly as detailed, nor as pretty as Murata's. But it's extremely clear in what it wants to convey and conveys that perfectly.

There is still a Dragon Ball series airing on TV today starring the exact same character it always has more than 30 years later. Good or not, it's not surprising that it'd inspire so many if it's been around that long.

I didn't mean that it was surprising, I meant that when you think about just how enormous Toriyama's influence is, it's kind of mind boggling.

Depends on how much he actually draws for himself. Considering he has a studio that does a lot of his stuff I'd probably place more of the blame on the demand for his artistic style than his own unwillingness to improve. Fartbox posted:Toriyamas stuff is simple. Both characters, story and art I remember a discussion somewhere (probably here in ADTRW) about Dragonball that basically boiled down to 'a lot of the inconsistencies you can find in Dragonball (and Z, GT, etc.) are due to Toriyama forgetting his own details.' Nothing is perfect, everything can be improved  As seen by how a cool and detailed artist takes some crazy nigh-stick figure drawings on an amazing storyboard to make something amazing.

My favorite bit of goofy trivia re: Toriyama is that he was simultaneously the worst loving slacker and a goddamned speed demon where it came to work; apparently he would consistantly goof off until just before the deadline and then belt out a week's worth of work in about two days. And he did it so regularly that his editor said in an interview that he just started telling Toriyama that the deadlines were about a week and a half before they were actually due, because the work would still get done on pretty much the same schedule (the day before or of the "deadline"), but it meant the editor and publisher weren't freaking out over him leaving everything to the last minute.

Dr Subterfuge posted:In my head dissemination and deconstruction have some abstract semantic similarity that involves spreading information out, but I could see dissertation too. They both end up in more or less the same place. I wasn't sure about that word, but it felt okaish. I also considered dissertation, but the two seemed equal to me. And I couldn't think of another word that gave me the same feeling.  I never really associated deconstruction with critical analysis for some reason. May be my non English speaking fail or the word has been contaminated by TVTropes. The abstractness that the dr subterfuge is referring to is very easy for me to trip over. So just to set me straight, was it an improper use of the word? And yes, that was the link. Thank you for finding it.
