Posted: Mon Jul 18, 2005 6:44 pm Post subject: Best Manga Artist(s) |
|
|
This is a topic inspired by zeal's Favourite Artist topic in the Community Board. Very similiar but more focused on manga.
1. Who is your favourite Manga Artist(s)?
2. What is some of his/her/their works? What is your favourite(s)?
3. Favourite characters from their series
4. Give an illustration from your favourite series or two.
Mine:
1. CLAMP and Miki Aihara
2. Miki Aihara: Tokyo Boys and Girls, Hot Gimmick. I really like Hot Gimmick, but I dislike Tokyo Boys and Girls.
CLAMP: Legal Drug, Cardcaptor: Sakura, Chobits, Magic Knight Rayearth, Tsubasa Chronicles, xxxholic, Suki, Wish. To many to mention. I like a lot of CLAMP's work, but my favourties would be: Cardcaptor: Sakura, Chobits, Legal Drug, and X/1999.
3. Chii from Chobits, Sakura from Cardcaptor: Sakura and Tusbasa Chronicles, and Hatsumi from Hot Gimmick
4.
This is Hatsumi from Hot Gimmick
This Kero (left) and Sakura (right) from Cardcaptor: Sakura
This is Chii from Chobits
Now post about your favourite manga artist(s)! _________________ Inspired by everything |

I compiled some of my fave illustrations here. As you can see, I'm a sucker for shoujo artists, and although Kotobuki has a sharp, raunchy style, he is a mangaka god. _________________ "Luca Blight, patron saint of population decrease." -- Benit, MST149

I have a question, how did you read the Star Ocean 2 manga? Can you read japanese and imported it, or did you read scanlations or something? I'd really like the read the Star Ocean 2 manga, but don't know japanese (Or maybe I'm oblivious and it's actually out in english >_O) _________________ Inspired by everything |

I ordered the manga from Sasuga in 2001, meaning there was no English translation... and I don't think there is today, I may be wrong.
Anyway, I can't read the manga. However, I began playing the game around that time and loved it so much b/c it helped me through some hard times. Thus when I saw the manga illustrations, I couldn't resist. That's precisely why I bought it: the game allowed me to understand what was going on already. So to answer your question, I can't read it, but I look at it here and there. _________________ "Luca Blight, patron saint of population decrease." -- Benit, MST149

I agree, the illustrations are great, if you find any other sites with some good artwork from the SO2 Manga please give me a link :D
Sorry about that Ced the Lad, I'll remember to do that in the future. _________________ Inspired by everything

The best link I can provide you is this one.
http://ironmouse.za.org.nyud.net:8090/dragon/index.html?nf
The CG Shrines is a massive collection of females from various games and anime that the webmaster selected. Look up the Star Ocean II ladies and there'll definitely be some of Mayumi Azuma's stuff. I also found this link which may be more useful.
http://kuruta.net/enchant/
Pure Star Ocean galleries, including Azuma's works from her Treasure artbooks. _________________ "Luca Blight, patron saint of population decrease." -- Benit, MST149

1. Who is your favourite Manga Artist(s)?
----------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------
Who is my favorite Manga Artist you ask?
That's easy...Akira Toryama is my favorite manga artist...his series are good...they are long and his characters are so cool....and the best of him...this incredible fights...then there is Hayao Miyazaki...he is a cool artist too...
there is not as much fighting as in Akira's works but his works can leave you impressed...and my third favorite manga artist is Masashi Kishimoto....
His ninja works...and fightning style he puts in his manga make them legendary...
He has a great battle style in his manga, deep characters and looooong series...
----------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------
2. What is some of his/her/their works? What is your favourite(s)?
----------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------
Akira's arts are Dragonball, Dragonball Z, Dragonball GT and Arale...
In his dragonball series there is much fightning....and saving the world...
Dragonball series are long and there is many of them...but Arale is something else.
There is fightning to...but Arale's battles are funny and make you laugh until you piss in your pants...Arale is cool and funny and nobody who watched it will say it sucks...The arts from Hayao Miyazaki are good..Kaze no Tani no Nausica is one of the best for me...it has action, romance and theit characters have a past and there are many adventures...and my 3rd favorite artist, Masashi Kishimoto, is the author of Naruto...Naruto has many characters, funny stories, actions and of course...it has many, many battles...I don't like Naruto as much as Dragonball because I don't watch it...but I swear it's worth watching it...
----------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------
3. Favourite characters from their series
----------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------
From Dragonball my favorite characters are Goku..he is strong and it's the ,ain character of Dragonball...he dies many times but he is alwas brought back by the dragon spheres...Chi-Chi, Goku's wife...is cool when she is angy and she is a great fucke in the hentai version of Dragonball...and the Dragon...the immortal dragon who will make yor wish come true...men...he is a legend...
From Kaze no Tani no Nautica is the mysterious warrior and from Naruto...is Naruto _________________ If you will leave me,

1. Who is your favourite Manga Artist(s)?
Hmm... hard. It's between Clamp... Eichiro Oda... Hiro Mashima... or Masashi Kishimoto.... but i choose Tokita Kouichi.
2. What is some of his/her/their works? What is your favourite(s)?
He's the guy who from my opinion draws gundam the best. He made the wing gundam mangas, the char's counterattack manga, gundam wing side story g-unit(last outpost in the english translation if im not mistaken), and the gundam seed astray manga. My favorites are the char's counteraatack and the astray manga. I'm pretty sure he also made the seed destiny astray manga. He also made the 4 panels for the last few pages of the manga, like the "Go, Domon"(if i'm not mistaken) and "Don't Give Up, Kisato!". The interesting part about his astray manga is, that after the strike was destroyed by the aegis gundam, he was the one who rescued Kira after both Strike and Aegis was destroyed!
.
3. Favourite characters from their series
Lowe Guille(Or gear, if i'm not mistaken) from the astray manga, and of course Char Aznable, what's his name? Bright Noa? And Amuro Ray
4. Give an illustration from your favourite series or two.
From Gundam Seed Astray. Seems like Athrun, Yzak, Dearka, and Nicol have almost been busted by Liam . :P |

Well, let's see:
1. Who is your favourite Manga Artist(s)?
Hiromu Arakawa, Clamp, Daisuke Moriyama, Takeshi Obata.
2. What is some of his/her/their works? What is your favourite(s)?
Arakawa: The infamous FMA, of course! :D
Clamp: Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles, xxxHolic, Legal Drug. Favourite
would be xxxHolic and Tsubasa at the moment, though.
Daisuke Moriyama: Chrno Crusade. The manga is definitely better than the anime. Many, many times.
Takeshi Obata: Death Note. I'm not sure what other things he has drawn, but his art is really fascinating, despite the fact that the storyline is...depressing, at best.
3. Favourite characters from their series
Tsubasa: Fye D. Flowright. And Mokona too, but er- Mokona isn't really a human.
Chrno Crusade: Aion. Yes, I admit that I'm one of those fangirls who swoon at the sight of a guy with silver hair. Or maybe it's just his 'misunderstood' personality.
FMA: *coughRoyMustangcough*
Death Note: Raito, as I admire his intellect. And L, in a grudging sort of way because it's difficult not to admire his ability to keep up with Raito's devious plans.
4. Give an illustration from your favourite series or two.
I don't suppose Kurogane in my avatar would do...? Ah, very well.
