Araki is an asshole. He always puts zero effort into these.

>Araki is an asshole. He always puts zero effort into these.

I think he wants to show his disdain for the criminal mangaka. Araki is amazing!

>>280235018
That's gay as fuck

>>280234724 (OP)
does he hate kenshin? why did he behead him?

I don't think Araki cares that much about this drama as people think he does, but he definitely intentionally put very little effort there, he knows not to mess up his image.

Art isn't one of those things you get worse at as you age.

>>280234999
>>280235085
What's weird is that he draws them like Jojo protagonists with homoerotic poses and purple lipstick. You can't just say that's his art style, because those are choices about how the character looks that go beyond style. One positive thing you could say about the Ruroni Kenshin pic you could say is that it's drawn in his style without having to be drawn like Kenshin is actually a Jojo character.

>>280235085
why does the left look like he's about to strip for cell?

>>280235361
You kinda do if your limbs or back get wreck.

>>280235282
Whose blissful innocence did he ruin?

His other recent illustrations were much better than this.

>>280234724 (OP)

>>280235361
Confirmed for following no artists
Art is definitely something that has a prime age range. It is an intellectual AND physical activity requiring precise movement and decent eyesight. Artists slow down, the fine and precise lines get harder to draw, eyes lose their acuity. I've read this in interviews. I've seen it from professional teachers like Glenn Vilppu, who is a famous teacher and master draftsman at 90 - but when one compares the demo work he did for his classes 30 years ago to what he can do now it's clear he's not at the top of his game anymore.
Animation in particular is a young man's game, if you don't believe me then go watch Yasuo Otsuka's documentary where he says as much in slightly different words.
Manga is a little different, less laborious in some sense

Reproducing Toriyama's illustration was part of the project. This isn't a usual tribute.

Even if it's pure signalling on his end, it's more (or rather, less) than what all the other mangaka did.

>>280235433
>During a investigation, the authorities came across information indicating that the 47-year-old Watsuki (whose birth name is Nobuhiro Nishiwaki) had purchased videos featuring naked 15-year-old or younger girls (the Japanese term used in the report is juudai zenhan, which can refer to any age between 10 and 15). A subsequent search of Watsuki’s Tokyo office and home resulted in the discovery of approximately 100 DVDs and CDs which were seized by the police.
>Watsuki has admitted to being in possession of the material, telling the police “I liked girls between the ages of upper elementary school students to about the second year of junior high.” Elementary school lasts six years in the Japanese school system, making second-year junior high students either 13 or 14 years old.
This is the second Oda friend to be arrested after the Toriko guy who tried to have sex with underage prostitutes multiple times and never realized the last 2 were bait

He's a faggot and JoJo is a tranny-shit garbage. Also, as you know, all sodomites and trannies are confirmed pedophiles, so what's his problem with Watsuki? They are both perverts anyway. Well, at the very least, Kenshin's author isn't a homo, kek.

hori and kishi are great. konomi and trigun guy also did a nice job. hori should really get a good writer, he's better as an artist only.

>>280236551
The 90s anime original parts also spammed Misao way more than she ever was in the manga, so that's good

>>280236442
Tbf by the time this took place, Toriyama daughter was nearly 3x older than how Watsuki likes 'em.

>>280236259
Nube won't get along with Kenshin, he's totally okay with killing if you piss him off enough

>>280236209
to be fair, Araki is personal friends with Tetsuo Hara, no wonder he usually puts some effort into drawing Ken, though not enough to not make him into a proper Lee/Stalone fusion
Otherwise he seems to be the guy who didn't care much about what happened in Jump or manga outside of his personal faves, I mean when he mentions his favorite movies he goes for Shrek before any Japanese animated ones.

>>280236259

>>280235808
I meant that even if this was a cynical move to make himself look good, it's more of a protest than what the other mangaka did. Male or female, youngish or old, westaboo or not, they all went along with it, and they all have images to uphold too. If all Araki cared about was his image, this was arguably the worse decision.

>>280236964

>>280236534
Didn't he have beef with some Jump authors?

>>280237271

>>280234969
I think most Araki tributes look like shit since his art style doesn't translate well to other manga characters but he still clearly put some effort into them. This is just an obvious quick rough sketch, you can't even tell it's from Araki without his name being next to it. Definitely feels like he didn't want to do it but had to because of a contract or something.

>>280237300

>>280237930
>>280237946
I dunno What's funnier, the fact that Togashi prioritized this drawing over his own manga or that Shueisha genuinely asked him to draw it while knowing how bad his condition is.

>>280238106
Because he practices using fashion magazines. And he can only draw that now

>>280235975
>ever since Wano
It was before that, I would say since the Z movie. He was the one who came up with the idea of Nami being a loli in that film and also drew the art. It was also around that time when he did the Punk Hazard arc with all those kids and drew picrel. You should also remember Desrossa who had Sugar.

>>280238183
Looks pretty good. But a few redraws would make it perfect

>>280238038
He can. He's great with character development and interactions. A shame people nowadays only value plot twists and shock value (no wonder frauds like Fujimoto and Gege are overpraised).

The opinions on this are so retarded, it looks obvious that araki did the bare minimum because he doesn't like the guy, and asking a japanese man to have balls and say NO in a business setting is the same as asking an american not to talk about gay sex, it's impossible. Not to mention how fruity Araki already is.

>>280238327
He became lazy

>>280238597
Because he likes money retard, I'm not a bleachtard, but it's a well know fact that Kubo and Jump don't get along well.

>>280238876
>Because he likes money retard,
He is not the only one. I like money as well.

do japanese readers care about this at all or is it just western xitter users?

>>280238807
That doesn't automatically make it not shit, especially considering his usual stuff is only slightly better

>>280237871
The 80's will never come back and we are all poorer for it

They are somewhat vocal (not as much as the west) that he shouldn't have gotten those illustrations celebrating him, but the biggest take away from this is that westerns are exaggerating by saying anyone not following Araki or Kubo's example is a potential predator.

>>280239650

yes or no?

>>280239710

>>280239529

>>280239025
Why did he say this?

>>280234724 (OP)
Only Araki and Togashi could get away with this level of disrespect.

That's called drawing another person's character with your own artstyle. Do you think other authors don't do it as well? >>280236259

>>280239830
That's a shotacon

>>280239365
Idk how anyone can be a fan of manga/anime and be bothered by the creators being pedos. I HIGHLY doubt anybody refused to draw or put effort into 30th anniversary art for Ruroni Kenshin because of Watsuki's affinity for cunny.

>>280237737
No (yet), he has ALWAYS been sus.

>>280239929
Cute

>>280239968
Even then, if it's not reflected in the art, then why not separate art from the author? They're clearly celebrating the manga moreso than the author. It's not HIS birthday celebration or some shit after all.

>This cost Hoshino probably a week of lifespam

As long as its 2D I don't give a fuck. Like the Made in Abyss guy clearly loves kids but he hasn't done anything to real ones as far as anyone knows.

>>280239710
Western people fail to realize that mangakas for WSJ are just employees and not independent artists.
If corporate want them to do something, they will do it unless they have enough fame and favors (araki) or are just done with the publishing house (Kubo)

>>280240302
MAR was better.

>>280240392
Maybe the manga, but not the anime
MAR's anime had no uncensored tits, only the manga did as the anime was heavily censored unlike Recca's

I love the One piece fans bitching about Oda doing good art.
Where's your media literacy now fags. 1000+ chapters about friendship and Nakama, now why is it a shock that Oda won't abandon his Nakama

>>280238948
I have the "Dragon ball-Landmark" and there is a page of KUbo drawing Tao pai pai.

>>280240472
I don't think Oda can draw any worse regardless

>>280240558
Even if Toriyama forgot him, his fans never did. See for example Oda and Toriyama's interview.

>>280240558

>>280239035
No one wants to work with him anymore, read editors' stories from the last volume.

>>280240019
It's pretty sad since Ruroni Kenshin is a great story that has nothing to do with pedophilia in any way and doesn't promote sexual or even romantic degeneracy at all.

>>280240338
>Like the Made in Abyss guy clearly loves kids
Made in Abyss is actually disgusting. I'd say actively making material that depicts children the way MiA does to send out into the world is far more heinous than jerking off to pictures of kids that already existed whether or not you looked at them. Watsuki used his ability as an artist to create something nice that encourages people to overcome the darkest parts of themselves, while Tsukushi made something gross that probably sparked a bunch of sick fetishes in his audience. It's obvious nobody has any REAL moral objections on subjects like this and just enjoy tearing down whoever they're told is okay to tear down. In truth, I really don't care what anyone jerks off to, but it's lame to see people destroy a great man's legacy over something they don't actually believe in anyway.

Piccolo is one of the most prominent Dragonball characters, Gege's equivalent would be drawing someone like Red Ribbon's General White for a commemorative gallery.

>>280241237
Gege would probably draw old demon king Piccolo.

>>280240392

>>280236462
lol what is mashima doing here? he's wsm and hokuto no ken is wsj, right?

>>280237372
Fucking Kishimoto really nailed it. He has that traditional but modern japanese art to a science.

>>280242067
Kubo has never been a constant for tributes. Weebs overrate him because he was part of the 2000's anime boom in the west, but like Kurumada or Horikoshi, there's nothing that separates him from another mangaka with a hit, in Japan at least. There's no niche nor achievement that makes him a more notable name.

>>280236259

>>280237001
Ishida is so fucking good

>>280243679
>lol what is mashima doing here? he's wsm and hokuto no ken is wsj, right?
Hokuto is WSJ on paper, but it's not owned by Shueisha anymore, but by Coamix (ex-WSJ and Tetsuo Hara himself), basically the series is as independent as it could be.
But its influence is far beyond that, no doubt a bunch of other non-WSJ artists should chime in.

>>280237093
what the fuck happened to Inoue? grim

>>280237417

I'm surprised people were OK with promoting Kenshin stuff considering the mangaka's crimes.

The amount of projection in this thread is actually insane. Japs don't give a fraction of a shit about this kinda thing that you guys do, and there's a million and one reasons somebody might just do quick drawings instead of high effort illustrations. Instantly assuming somebody is taking a moral stand or assuming they somehow can't do better anymore is blatant projection and jumping to retarded conclusions based on basically nothing but wishful thinking. You guys are like bored housewives gossiping over hollywood actors. Only it's worse because there's no paparazzi exposing every little thing going on in these author's lives, so you know even less.

But you're completely wrong... Authors are not employees at all, they ARE just "independent artists". The way the business works is they're just individuals making a product that the magazine then pays them to publish in their publication. Editors aren't their boss, they're coworkers, and assistants have nothing to do with the magazine/publisher.

Did FKMT ever participate in one of these for any magazine?

Dumb Frogposter

>>280248454
Yeah I just don't think Araki particularly cares for these events. He's getting older, he'd probably rather spend the effort on his own work than paying tribute to the work of others. But he's also too polite to outright decline.

>>280249701
>Her ass is nice, but look at those lips
I'm looking.

>>280236259

>>280248454
this one looks less sloppy than the one in the op imo.
>>280248732
the most likely reason it looks like that imo is that araki just doesn't care enough about watsuki or the manga to put forth any effort, not because of any sort of moral stance.

>>280247276
Luffy was very shocked at Hancock's sobstory even though he usually sleeps through those.
Him not giving a shit or being on board with it would be completely out of character when you consider everything about manipulation and grooming surrounding it.

>>280249971
>this one looks less sloppy than the one in the op imo.
The one in the OP still has the guidelines because Araki couldn't be assed to erase them. Even if he wasn't making a statement, it's pretty wild to be so blatantly lazy.

>>280250021
the scar and the sword also have weird wobbly lines and the image quality looks more like he took a photo with his phone and submitted that as opposed to scanning it. i know some of his more recent tributes like pic related have been more sketch-like, but the rurouni kenshin one is so clearly half-assed its insane.

>>280250144
Yeah, even the doodles he does have more clean-up work done to them than this.

>>280236259
It's always interesting seeing the different approaches to these kinds of tributes
>drawing the character in as close to their own style as possible while still being recognisable
>trying to faithfully recreate the original style
>goofy crossover shenanigans between the tribute character and something from the artist's manga
>literally just the protagonist of the artist's own manga in cosplay (or the sameface is so bad you can't tell the difference)
Personally I like the first type the most.

>>280248454
out of your mind

>>280249971
>imo is that araki just doesn't care enough about watsuki or the manga to put forth any effort
It might not have anything to do with the work or author it's a tribute to is my point. For all we know he was busy with shit and only had 10 minutes to draw something for it. As anons have pointed out, he doesn't HAVE to draw something for this. Anons are simply seeing what they want to see: they don't like the guy, so clearly this other author must also not like the guy. It couldn't possibly be anything else. This reasoning is called projection.

All his former assistants who made it actually contributed, that's great stuff.

>>280251218
that's a really good point. the only thing that can be gleaned from the drawing is that it's low effort. anything else is just reading too far into it. i still think apathy is more reasonable than him hating the guy, but you are definitely right that there's no way to say anything definitive as to why he did it this way.

Which is retarded because they don't know these people to even say what their intentions are. Araki always make shitty looking tributes and Kubo was not fucking invited and he also didn't do tributes for HnK and Togashi are you saying they're pedos too?

I'm no nihilist, but everyone who feels conflicted they like something made by a bad person should understand that the entire history and current state of the world rests upon a great chain of suffering, and I'm not even just talking about parts you might think are avoidable by legislative efforts, but those that are built into existence itself. What % of people if you met them and knew everything about them instantly would you think were really bad? Probably a lot more than you think, and yet "society" is this thing where all those people are supposed to work together to produce things. Strange, isn't it?

>>280239968
>Idk how anyone can be a fan of manga/anime and be bothered by the creators being pedos
i dont mind creators liking weird fetish shit but its hard to wholeheartedly get invested into a story knowing the person behind it actively took part in harming vulnerable people, any good art requires a lot of vulnerability both from the author and reader and to some extent knowing gross shit about an author can understandably taint the experience as it will always be in the back of your head and get in the way of fully immersing yourself in the story
of course this depends on the individual, to some the author just having a "problematic" opinion is enough to create that dissonance, to others as long as the author keeps to themselves they never think about it, i dont think either way of approaching it is necessarily right or wrong but i feel its simplifying it too much to go "you must be willing to get on equal terms with someone who purchases and consumes cp if you want to call yourself an anime fan"

>>280258739
No, that means he's not a child molester. A pedophile is anyone who's sexually attracted to underaged people/children (and the Japanese use lolicon to mean a politer version of this). A pedophile isn't a child molester if he looks at CP and doesn't actually touch a child, but he's still a pedo. The relevant thing ethically, is that you can't make CP without abusing a child (I guess AI breaks that but let's not get sidetracked), so anyone possessing CP is encouraging its production, which encourages child abuse. That's why people think it's evil. Well, actually, mostly people are disgusted by something and then decide it's evil because it's disgusting, but on paper that's the reason and makes sense.

Anon, Japan is very recent to this whole thing. People on this board have been born during a time when it would have been perfectly legal to sign a contract with their parents and shoot a porn movie starring their older siblings.

It is obviously a very different world compared to most places where most of the world has banned production, possession and drawing explicitly decades ago.

>>280259504
True, Japan didn't ban CP until very recently.

Uh... what is behind this link and what will happen if I click it?

>>280236259
Even Inoue and Murata phoned it in
It almost looks like they only gave everyone like a 5 hour notice kek

It's an IP grabber, I'm on the way to throw my computer into the lake

>>280259559
You're getting on a list, your social score will plummet, your wife will leave you and your waifu will be deemed an illegal possession internationally except for Madagascar.

It's just an English article from the political party which pushed for the bans detailing the history from the ban of human production in 1999, posession of human CP in 2014 with an extended pardon period for its destruction and their plans to go even further (that is, drawn porn) in the future.

>>280236259
Fun fact: Togashi's entry was originally started as an entry for the 20th anniversary

>>280258624
No one cares about boys.

I can't tell if this is real or a joke, and it makes it funnier either way

>Kubo refused to bend the knee

>>280258739
I want to hear your opinions on a certain kind of people

>>280237842
I think anon's just saying it's easy to jump to conclusions on that.

I think the comment is more about Watsuki as an artist at the time it the interview was done. Rurouni Kenshin would have been his only serialized manga at the time.

>>280235808
i'm surprised westerners, given how puritans they have become, are still big fans of one piece. the only instance they can separate art from the artist for some unexplained reason. meawhile they continue to call horikoshi a pedo for his BNHA series

DO NOT google Araki drawing feet

>>280236259
furry kenshin
>author doesn't do a series involving kemono
weird choice

>>280236194
dude had so much stuff in his house the police thinks he was a full blown distributor

>>280234724 (OP)
Why didn't Araki put in the same effort for Rurouni Kenshin as he does when he draws other manga works?

>>280254497
Oh yeah, and it's also having the anime coming back now. I wonder which characters each will draw, but I guess they'll just default to Asta.
Maybe Horikoshi will draw Magna, apparently his favorite fight was Magna vs Dante, which is fair because it was such a curveball.

>>280258112
NTA but I think it just has the same notoriety as Fairy Tail in terms of being of tropey, not to mention when it first came out it got compared with a lot of other "underdog MC" shounen.
In my opinion that isn't much of a problem, I went into it reading it for being a by-the-books shounen and that's what I'm getting.

>>280262088
MHA fans lean more white and female in the West than OP, that's all there is to it. Obviously Pedro and Ahmed don't care if Oda approves of pedos or is one himself. There's also the difference in artstyles selecting for a certain type of fan. Oda's bimbos filter some of the moralfags, while Hori's love of women with some meat on them fools retards into thinking he's "body positive" and shares the rest of their cancerous politics

>>280236907
The guy in question has no own style, instead is jut a copy of Toriyama. If he didn’t added any new details, it would just look like the original

>>280254497
>Kubo FINALLY draws something
>It's for Black Clover

>>280237433
Kubo is missing from some of these tributes, it’s not something new. So it’s to say his absence is a protest against Watsuki

>>280262810
What I expect
>draw some of the girls
What I'll get
>draw Yami

>>280254497
Damn, why didn't WT get anything for 10th anniversary

>>280258908
The non-child molesting CP-watching pedo is probably a myth anyways
Guys in prison for only possession will admit to having several victims if admitting it doesn't affect their sentence. Most of them say they started molesting kids before they looked at CP.
Leaving all that aside, Watsuki isn't just a pedo but a retard too. If he'd handed in his CDs nobody would've found out about his predilections. He had to go and add to his collection after it was illegal and got busted.

>>280262858
Kubo should just draw Nnoitra and say its Jack the Ripper. Tabata borderline plagiarized a lot of his character designs from Bleach anyways.

>>280262858
He's a cool guy so I'd be fine with that.

>>280239350
Didn’t Kubo draw Taopaipai?
Works even better, though

>>280263107
He did both.

>>280262855
>So it’s to say his absence is a protest against Watsuki
Doubt it, lmao. I don't think Kubo gives a shit about Watsuki being in possession of child pornography as much as Westerners do. He just wasn't invited for the RuroKen's 30th anniversary. Plus, he has no ties to Watsuki whatsoever. A lot of the people participating on RuroKen's 30th anniversary are either proteges of Watsuki (like Oda), people who Watsuki worked under as an assistant or fellow colleagues from the Golden Age of Jump.
>>280254497#
>Kubo is in, araki isn't.
Why would Araki? He doesn't know Tabata while Kubo does. A lot of the people participating in Black Clover's anniversary are people who are either friends with Tabata or peoppe he worked under as an assistant (like Psyren). Jump is all about connections.
>Gotouge back from the dead for this too.
Just like Kubo, the Demon Slayer author knows Tabata and their appearance is not special either. They weren't invited for the RuroKen's 30th anniversary, not because of some moral principle. They just have never been a constant for tributes either and they have no ties to Watsuki.

Like the other Anon said, people overrate Kubo because of his association with Oda and Kishimoto, and Bleach being one of the early titles during the anime boom in the West in the 2000s. Just like Kurumada, just like Horikoshi, there's nothing that separates him from another mangaka with a hit in Japan and him being the creator of Bleach doesn't make him a more notable name. Same with the Demon Slayer author whose series is famous but the public don't care about the author. The only people who can be treated like superstars in the manga world are people like Oda, Toriyama, Tezuka, Inoue and Araki. Everyone else are interchangeable

>>280253982
she deserves my sperm...

>>280263037
I really wish he does something like this. Kishimoto could just redraw the scene the jounin stop Neji from killing Hinata

>>280263490
You wish but given that he's friends with Tabata to the point of going to dinners with him, I am in doubt.

>>280263554
>I am in doubt

>>280262858
I hope he draws Noelle.
