Some loser

A trip down memory lane and I’m suddenly reminded that Samurai Flamenco is one of my favorite anime to have ever been made.

It also has the best theme for a Toku show that doesn’t actually exist

when the show started airing, guess which version of this scene most people actually preferred, hands down?

Yep, ONE’s version. It got the emotions and message of that scene across 500% better. To be clear, in n o f cuki ng way am i dissing BONES; god knows they just created an animated masterpiece. but im a little bummed about ONE always getting the short end of the stick on art. 

what i find the most impressive about ONE’s art is the sheer MAGNITUDE of emotion and intensity that he can get across through the artwork. 

These are great on their own but its a completely unique experience to READ through the story and get to these moments where there’s nothing but pacing and imagery to propel you through these scenes, some of which being the most powerful scenes in the story for those reasons. 

like idk damn dude. if i put some of my work next to some of ONE’s work, some people might say i was the better artist, but i would have to absolutely disagree. some of my best works don’t come CLOSE to this stuff. honestly a lot of published graphic novels don’t come anywhere near to delivering a story through the art as well as mob psycho does. 

He draws hands and ears so fucking well, he draws real decent clouds that look kind of natural, his shading technique is GREAT, he does a phenomenal job at showing movement, the expressions are always perfect, and he does his comics without pen pressure(with a mouse?? idk).
