Murata can animate better with still images than the animators that worked on Season 2 can with animation

Seriously tho, Blast is future Saitama who broke his final limit, the ability to grow hair and punch through time.

We will now warp back 115 chapters for a 200 page redraw of Mumen Rider fighting Sea King with dozens of panels showing his bones breaking in the process.

I kinda just skipped over the fight scenes and visual stuff. I'm just overloaded on all this stuff and it's no longer interesting or awe inspiring, it's just gone on for too long and I want it to be over. I just want the story to move on.

So just take a break and wait until more chapters are out so you can progress faster? The ”story” in OPM is thin as gently caress as it is. For years people have said to wait for specific story monents to show up in the redraw and then when they do it’s the most basic storytelling ever. I don’t get why people want the artist to rush forward because of the barebones plot The story is right there in the original. The redraw is purposefully fleshing the action and character moments out.

The redraw has fleshed out the action, but it has in no way fleshed out the character moments. If anything, it's sanded them down to the point where there's barely any conflict between them. You've got the good heroes who are all working together, the bad guys who've all been cornered, and one confused good boy in Garos.

I can't say the story moments is what is hooking me on this series to be honest. It's the action and the comedy. But the comedy doesn't work as well unless you take the action seriously, so I'm okay that we're getting a lot of straight up shonen action as well.

i wish ONE was focusing more on the webcomic because he's been going to real interesting places in it. murata seems to mostly focus on scenes he wants to draw instead of the story.

I don’t get why people want the artist to rush forward because of the barebones plot Because the plot in the manga is worse than the plot in the web comic. Like the reveal of Blast compared to the web comic is worse here, the escalation of "What's up with Sweet Mask?" is worse here, all the story beats are handled so much less effectively in the manga compared to the web comic. Who could predict that though? I mean he's already done the the plot work, and well, the first time. Why would folks expect it to get worse in retelling? But it does. In exchange you get a lot of Murata art. That's it, that's always been the trade off: Pretty pictures or tighter storytelling.

The manga has become exactly what the webcomic was making fun of. If you didn’t figure that out with the 5-6 month Phoenix man fight arc and then redraw, idk what to tell you.

About the redraws, is that Murata wanting a do-over or is it ONE going "hey by the way some of this stuff is being retconned, mind touching it up?" I have no clue, I'm only following the manga.

Lord_Magmar posted:I would honestly wager it's a bit of both. On top of that, it's been pretty obvious that whenever ONE added new stuff to the webcomic there came a redraw or plot development that corresponded to it. The changes to Sweet mask vs Do-S and Child Emperor vs Penguinman v4.0 are pretty clear changes to setup later stuff

Murata has on several occasions shown the drafts that ONE sends him. Murata has some freedom in that he can add pages in between (for example Genos's fight against Elder Centipede was basically made wholecloth by Murata; ONE's draft only had Genos leaping at EC and then immediately getting cut in half and failing). ONE has final say though, for example getting rid of Metal Bat ricocheting the manhole cover in his fight against Garou since it didn't fit MB's character. Which IMO makes some of the complaints about pacing (which I do think are valid) that level the blame entirely on Murata to be a bit dumb. Each release is likely its own set of drafts from ONE, at most Murata adds several pages of action. ONE telling Murata to redo some stuff is very much a possibility. If he had a problem with moving up Blast's introduction, then Murata wouldn't have even drawn it, so blaming Murata for that is a stupid idea. skaianDestiny fucked around with this message at 08:19 on Dec 31, 2020 |

I really like ONEs comic, wish he'd update more. Muratas version is more something to keep me going between ONE updates nowadays. Edit: I mean I liked this version a lot too, just all the loving redraws, it makes it hard to give a poo poo about anything that happens, who knows if it will be redrawn later and changed. And things just never move forward, been stuck in this loving rut of a fight for god knows how long now. His Divine Shadow fucked around with this message at 08:22 on Dec 31, 2020 |

I get the distinct impression that ONE isn't as satisfied with his webcomic as many of us here in this thread are. Seems like a lot of the Murata version is as much ONE wondering "what if" as it is Murata wanting to draw cool action sequences. They also both seem like huge dorks who are enabling each other to be extra dorky with this updated version, for better or worse.
