Social media was a mistake.

>>281204281

It's kinda odd seeing nature drawings by fukumoto. Looks good but I'm so used to the rigid lines of interiors and mahjong tables

He's just going to take some edgy pics for his myspace.

Great. As if I didn't feel old enough already.

Pretty tense last couple of chapters.
Thanks, OP.

>>281204361
Cool ass shot

>>281204716
Thanks anon

Yeah, FKMT can really deliver when he needs to. It's easy to think he can't draw anything but the same faces and angles due to the nature of his stories, so when it goes beyond that it's always a treat.

Brace yourself, it's going to get worse.

I will never read any of these purely because of the artstyle

>>281214860
It certainly is a filter. For me it was the art style that got me to read it to begin with. By chance I stumbled upon the 3rd act of Kaiji on an old scanlation site and was intrigued by these ugly characters.

>>281215575
I wasn't a big fan of the art style when starting Kaiji S1, but I was so hooked on the premise that I didn't even consider dropping it over that.
A few episodes in, I didn't even think about it and nowadays I find it charming in its own way.
It's a shame some people can't get over it, but this is a visual medium after all, so it's understandable.

>>281215720
I know there was a time when I was intensely focused on ensuring a show had appealing aesthetics when I watched it, but it was so long ago that I can't even imagine disliking Kaiji's art style (though I'm sure I did at one point).
Honestly, limiting yourself based on aesthetic in a visual medium is a bit sad to me. I know I did it because I wanted characters I could get off to, and I can't imagine limiting yourself just for that or some other base-level appeal.
It'd be like appreciating art and getting put off by works of abstract art or works that express verisimilitude.

Another one.

>It's a shame some people can't get over it
It's really not. Being mainstream is overrated. I'd rather discuss my favorite things with a small group of likeminded individuals who are just as passionate about those interests as I am. I thank FKMT for filtering millions of normalfags with his choice of expression.
