Wow, I mean, I know the reasons why the art looks the same as one-peice and fairy tail, but the story and the lead seem ripped straight from One-Piece. Talk about unoriginal, but at least the production quality seems decent....

Yeah, but I don't like the way the game is so obviously shoe-horned into the anime. I know it's based off a game, that's great, but why does it have to feel like I'm reading a blog of someone actually playing the game instead of a story taking place it's it's world?

This series nails the lid on the coffin for my opinion of Mashima Hiro. For all intents and purposes, this guy took OP's drawing style and pretty much told everyone the guy is his hero, so I got nothing against using the same drawing style. In fact, Mashima's variety of stories and his willingness to create lots of different but mostly teen hotties is probably one of the reasons his works are more visually pleasing tham OP [Nami and Robin + girl of the arc gets old real fast].
The fatal flaw that makes Mashima's works all complete -.- and just a one time read through is definitely because he lacks OP's grandeur, which well admittingly NO manga currently has. 411 chapters to reveal a guy who was drawn as a background character being one of the most powerful people at the moment in the story without giving it away for like the past 3 years or more? DAMN. I mean, the arc where they used Sanji's wanted poster against him finally was like, pretty much beyond godlike in XD terms. And since Mashima has the same style drawing and themes, it REALLY hurts to compare the two. Fairy Tail is quite decent, but Natsu cannot even touch Luffy. If you take Luffy's first major arc, the Alabaster Arc, and compare it with the current Natsu, Luffy has like, a bajillion more important signature WWF moves than Natsu. Natsu's moves while plentiful are almost ALL THE SAME. The manga panels just show fire, or dragon skin, and it gets ZzZz. The reason why Luffy was made a Rubber Man and not a Logia like Fire Ace or what not was because the OP creator realized that raw pure elements are VERY VERY LIMITED in the fight/game rule world. You can only do so much, can only add so much spice. Rubber properties was the most revolutionizing attribute a shonen hero could have, not due to the rubber property itself, but how the mangaka created ways for the character to use and also equally important how to put them in situations where you wouldn't question it. You wouldn't go HEY WHY DIDN'T BUGGY THE CLOWN OWN LUFFY BY COUNTERING WITH THE DOWN DOWN UP FORWARD PLUS B COMBO? Cause guys like buggy don't LOOK COOL enough to make your inner street fighter/balance nerd cry out. By the time Luffy hit the real enemies, he either got owned and passed by or DID figure out new moves. Oh and here's a real bias, the ANIME was a HUGE HELP in making people love the guy over say Natsu. Rubber man moves in animation > panels. I could never love Luffy as much as I would if I only read his introduction of the Gomu Rifle technique, and that's a huge statement cause I'm pretty sure anyone who even recognizes my name here that I complain about anime left and right like Naruto and Bleach. =/ So it's kind of unfair for Mashima, but like, in a sense I'm saying it's not like he's being robbed. Because he chose to devote time to different projects, and didn't look at it from a grand picture like the OP guy did (as far as I know he doesn't do any other works much) there's no way to compete. One is the bill gates of silly looking shonen, and mashima just made linux. |
