Welcome to DISCUSSION!

Hi, everyone! Once a week, I'm going to give you a topic. All players need to do is give their opinions/stories/comments on said topic. There's nothing really formal about this, but you'll get cards for answering regardless. There's no requirement about how big or detailed of an answer you give, but try to avoid one word answers! (This is about talking, after all)

This week's topic is ARTISTS.

A question you could answer (but are not limited/required to) is Who is your favourite mangaka?

You'll get 2 regular cards and 1 puzzle card for commenting. Prizes will be distributed throughout the week and this game ends on Tuesday, November 18th.

miwa shirow and shigenori soejima come to mind rn... i really like the sort of style where you use just solid black for all the shadows/shading idk what it's called but it's really cool!! although for soejima i'm a bigger fan of his art that uses brushes and whatnot. i wish he used it more often instead of for just box art/cover art, but that's probably impossible haha.

uhhh as for an actual mangaka whose work i read... i really like sorata akizuki's stuff?? but this has more to do with the fact that her costume/clothing designs are GORGEOUS and that she makes use of gratuitous fantasy elements i love that kind of shit.

this is more video games now but i love hidari and mel kishida! their girls are always so cute, and i love their use of colors. and speaking of vidya reminds me of tales so i'll say straight up that daigo okumura is my favorite of the tales designers. i love how bright and clean his colors are! fujishima had a lot of good designs but he reaaaaaaally needs a break and i think it shows (sorey? did you mean the bastard design child of jude/colette/anise???). it's a shame too because i think belldandy is probably one of the most gorgeous characters ever designed, but he's never really made anything like that for tales. inomata is good too though, wonky proportions aside, she's done THE prettiest girls in tales imo. but in the end, i love okumura's work the most.

in the end this became an excuse to talk about tales.
