I always thought Earth X's big final battle between Galactus and The Celestials had some cool scenes.
>>
>>152680830
I mean, most manga/anime can't, it's why Naruto is well known and something like Buso Renkin is obscure. Don't know why you're trying to make it an East vs West thing.

Kys, faggot.

>>152680830
It's a damn shame too.
This could be a possibility, but not enough people give a shit.
>>152680920
There are a few cool fights here and there, but not nearly enough considering overwhelming saturation of the genre.
>>152680955
There are many manga, not all of them super well known, with similar creative and cool fights.
>>
Is there a name for this demographic that only "consumes" shonenshit and capeshit, but in this very secondary way where they don't really engage with the actual source material(s) at all?

suggests something is wrong with the model, no? It's sort of ridiculous to not be able to artistically flex from time to time for a visual medium largely revolving around action

>It's sort of ridiculous to not be able to artistically flex from time to time for a visual medium largely revolving around action
i think what happens is that the west, people get too caught up on the logic/realism or intent behind something which causes them to refrain from doing any ambitious looking artwork
I remember a thread a while that was talking about how western shows refuse to use any perspective shots or use different camera techniques
And some anons responses were because the scene didn't call for it

Capeshit varies depending on the writer, but this is absolutely what shonen is about, dont get confused now. Unless its moreso seinen pretending its shonen like HxH or Vinland Saga

Is that supposed to count for something? You're clearly not qualified.
I see you stopped posting completed pages.

>>152684424
His style is really good but art alone isn't enough. OP pic is impressive because of the context. Madara was a huge meme for a reason.
>>
>>152684451
I'm not going to start an argument with someone who's clearly wrong. Between shonen manga, Radiant is better than Naruto. You can think otherwise and you would be wrong.

If you don't know the context, that just means you've never read Radiant. It's free and up to date on Mangadex.

But also, the art is significantly better.

Therefore, each and every single troll both needs, and deserves to be subjected to immediate, involuntary and indefinite institutinalization not only for their own good, but for the greater good of human civilization.

The question is: why isn't this as good as Naruto or other big battle shonen manga? What's missing?
He obviously has some skill, but none of his pages look as good. Is it a lack of assistants?
>>
>>152684697
We aren't talking about your webcomic, anon.
>>
>>152684698
It’s about on par with most lower range manga action.
Naruto is, despite criticisms, popular for a reason. It’s a better example of action manga and this recognized as such. Most manga wouldn’t achieve its level of popularity or have the skill behind it.
>>

Wrong

I hate all the east vs west shit though cause this guy is a huge weeb like me too. I found a hidden tetsujin 28 head pop out of shark guts in this issue.
>>
>>152680830
Naruto wasn't all that great. Compared to its contemporaries it played things too safe and didn't bother to challenge or redefine what manga could be. And someone really should have told Kishimoto to stop using those god awful markers to color his manga. They're fucking trash that makes his art look even worse.
>>
>>152684890
>>
>>152684864
You mean something like Fairy Tail and Eyeshield 21? That's still insanely popular, anon. And I named those two specifically because Mashima and Murata are fans of Radiant.

Not with the hype, aura, and iconic clear choreography that Naruto does. Otherwise, they'd be as popular as Naruto.

Naruto was way more entertaining than Bleach tho. The most iconic things about Bleach were the pages without backgrounds.

It is though? /co/ loves to hate on anything that falls outside their demented definition of western comic.

>>152681229
American Dragon Ball fans.
>>
>>152684944
/a/ kind of likes Naruto now.
>>
>>152684899
Kishimoto is one of the cleanest and most technical artists who ever worked in shonen manga. I know you're trying to be a cool guy hipster bro, but let's all just be real with ourselves- Naruto is a massive IP years after it ended mainly due to the art of Kishimoto.
>>
>>152684919
Anon those are both done by notable creators and translated internationally, they’re not lower range at all. They stood out enough to be exported, or were done by notable creators. That’s stand out.
>>
>>152684958
It was cool to hate Naruto 10+ years ago. Now it has become a beloved iconic classic and even the haters can't deny how iconic and influential it is.
>>
>>152684977
Kys, autist.
>>
>>152684944
You sound like a 40+ year old boomer, several years behind the times.
>>
>>152684950
Comparing Bleach and Naruto is low hanging fruit. Compare it to other Shonen manga that actually gave a shit about trying to do something different like Ashita no Joe, Jojo, or Dragon Ball.
>>152684964
Not true but go ahead and explain
>>
>>152684899
What is the Bleach equivalent of this?
>>
>>152684937
Eh, it's not that simple. What magazine you're getting published in makes a big difference. If Naruto wasn't in WSJ, it wouldn't be as big as it was.
>>
>>152684985
You sound like a cock-gobbling faggot.
>>
>>152684993
Naruto, Bleach and One piece were contemporary. They were the big three. Comparing them is natural.

>>
>>152684965
>Anon those are both done by notable creators and translated internationally
Anon this will shock you but Radiant is translated internationally too, I don't just mean Viz or europoor editions, Murata demanded a published Japanese edition.
>>
>>152684977
It's a nostalgia thing. Even people who like Naruto could write you a laundry list of glaring flaws. Though that's true of basically every major battle shounen since forever.
>>
I'll never read manga no matter how much you try to shill it.
>>
>>152685039
Yeah and it has an anime, I know. I’m defending it, anon. I’m saying it’s perfectly as fine as any mid-level manga. Not top tier, but not everything will be.
>>
>>152684993
Naruto is the spiritual successor of Dragon Ball. You're trying to be a cool guy hipster but you sound like an out of touch boomer.
>>152684982

>>152684999
Why was it in WSJ? How did it get there? Why wasn't it canceled early if it was so terrible and generic?

Ah. Like this you mean?
>>
>>152680830
Yes, since the new millennium they stopped trying to make good fights.
>>
Your thread is off topic faggot go back to your circle jerk on /a/
>>
>>152685042
People are able to recognize the greatness of Naruto now that it stopped being cool and trendy to hate on it. Bleach is the opposite- it was cool to like bleach at the time, and the internet used to say dumb shit like Kubo is a better artist and writer than Kishimoto. Now, Naruto is still extremely popular and beloved, while bleach is basically forgotten.
>>
>>152685032
Tbf, how many (for lack of a better term) “epic guys media” would unapologetically use frogs and not some more traditional “cool” animal instead?
>>
>>152685052
>the spiritual successor of Dragon Ball

Not with that garbage paneling it isn't
>>
>>152685048
Mid-level manga don't get two seasons anime. Radiant is top tier, it's only penalized by not being japanese because people still seethe at the idea of a successful manga not being japanese.
>>
>>152685052
>Why was it in WSJ?
Because Shueisha wanted to publish it.
>How did it get there?
Shonen's target demographic liked the pilot chapter and wanted more
>Why wasn't it canceled early if it was so terrible and generic?
Because it was popular.
>>
>>152680830
This looks really stupid and badly drawn however. Pretty much any western fight mogs it.

Kubo can draw character group shots too btw. A lot of manga artists can.
>>
>>152684698
I haven't read it but if I had to guess it probably doesn't have an easily scalable way to resonate with people. Naruto is child soldiers with memorable designs, a bunch of unique skills and characteristics to go along with solid action. It's an interesting setup and it hooks people even though it arguably devolves as it goes on. Hero Academy got popular for similar reasons
>>
>>152685067
The only favor that time has done for Naruto is make people forget about it.

I would storytime Radiant regularly if there were no captcha to slow shit down to the point of making storytimes impossible.

For anyone here that hasn't read Naruto (or that much manga to begin with) and is being lead to believe it's good or its art is the best art manga can offer. It's fucking not. Literally just google Vagabond or Akira.

>>152685162
You haven't seen much then. Though to be fair, a lot of the long-running battle shounen can have really shitty pacing in their anime adaptation because they're really stretching for time or the peanut gallery won't shut the fuck up. You just gotta look for the episode where they bring in the real good director and let him go wild with the budget.
>>
>>152685205
Yeah my opinion is anime and its fights are shit and usually very forgettable
