boruto manga drawing sucks!!!

[Peacelover]

It really sucks when people critize the artist too much. The dude ain't bad - He just can't correctly figure out the character designs themselves into a perfect form. His background images though, are extremely well done.

Without looking at his character designs:

Sure we can all criticize that he has a lack of skill in terms of getting down Kishimoto's style with the characters. But the backgrounds? I don't ever see anyone complementing on what he is doing right. Given the time and practice, the art will definitely improve.

I agree, the character designs do look slightly off, but it will get better in time so yeah

It's going to take a while before his art really gets on fire. Kishimoto wasn't that great compared to who he is now back when Naruto started.

But I understand the criticism in terms of designs when the characters just don't look like themselves at all, even in terms of bodily proportions.

Since the artist is really just recreating the panels of the Movie, I'll give him some slack (and the writer) due to them just rehashing something we've already seen. They better bring their A game when the rehash arc is finished.

If you guys don't like it then why bother read it.

For your information, you are dead wrong. Do you honestly think the art style will stay like this forever? Of course it is going to improve. And no Sarada isn't looking like a joke, it's your bitterness and reasoning that is a joke to put it bluntly.

Yeah keep waiting for this filler manga to get better. To put it plainly it doesn't matter what I think, it's a simple fact that the art is crappy, these characters look like they've crapped themselves.

People think this Sarada actually looks good.

The sexualization of a character is so cringe worthy and I can only see it going downhill from here.

Who said that Sarada looked good? Imo none of the character designs actually look decent, at least bar the flash forward. I've seen more people complaining about Sarada, Sasuke, Hinata, and Himawari in contrast to liking their designs.

I don't thing there's a single person out there who thinks these designs top what Kishimoto drew. For good reason as stated that they are just simply works in progress. I don't really agree with the author trying to show too much skin on Sarada either, but it's not not really sexualization. Seems more like petty fan service.

Regardless the artist can't degrade his skills as the Manga continues on in the future. His designs can only improve, like any artist in the real world. I'm not saying for everyone to be patient, or to even get your hopes up. My expectations are low too, but I'm just willing to see it past the rehash arc in order to see what's really going on with 'Naruto' as a series.

Honestly I can't even take it seriously due to the fact that we've already seen this content before. Just biding my time hoping for it to finish in the next few months. Still this Manga is definitely not something to look forward to until they start releasing 100% new content in every page.

Right now it's just lame recycled information only interesting to those who haven't seen the Movie yet.

 

[NineSNS]

I think the opening panels were fine, mostly because we don't have a "standard" to compare them to, since Kishi never drew Boruto older than he is in the movie.

I agree with the others that say it will improve after the movie rehash is done.

Then the story and art will belong solely to the new guy.

The flash forward of Kawaki and Boruto looks pretty decent with the tattoos an all but these characters look much worse than fanart. Nothing about this new manga should be praised tbh except for the flash forward. The design of the environment as you discussed in the previous post can be done by anybody who's taken an art class and knows how to submerge two colors of paint onto that background. Their designs are horrible and most of them look like dolls.

I'd hope not else there are pretty retarded. Fanservice itself tuns many fans off especially if this was traditionally supposed to be an adventure/action packed manga mistakes like these causes the series as a whole to plummet.

The author can become rusty easily by not practicing but if he does continue this maybe his art might become slightly better but this art comes no where near Kishi's pilot manga or even the 1st chapter. Kishi's characters look realistic whereas this guy's looks like some lollies on the street. I don't think its going very far, you're already set on the stage when the Leaf Village is destroyed meaning that the power scaling in the new gen is thrown off. There is no hard work anymore, just get a tattoo and you're all set. Man, I really don't expect much. This is what happens when a series gets milked too hard. :lol

All I do is when a chapter is released I scroll to the last page and if there isn't any new information, I don't bother reading it. This rehash is pathetic, why put the movie events into a manga when you've made a movie about it? All the viewers most probably have already seen the movie. Stuff like this is unnecessary and a waste of time.

Right now it's just lame recycled information only interesting to those who haven't seen the Movie yet.

That's pretty sad, it's like those guys are getting some special attention and they are only a minority lol.

Funny how you say it is filler, even though it is being supervised and approved by Kishi. So by your logic, the fact that you didn't like it means it is automatically filler? Also, saying the art looks crappy is YOUR opinion, not fact. There is a big difference. Me saying and thinking the art is getting better is also MY opinion.
And like I said, if you don't like it don't bother reading it.
EDIT: besides that I don't care how and what Sarada looks like and quite frankly what she wears is not my concern at all, just as long as she is written well and her personality is kept consistent I am fine with that.

in fairness, its probably better than half the people on this forum ever could.

I'm not really that knowledgeable when it comes to art so I'll just take your word for it. I'm not really sure what Ikemoto's stance is on in terms of drawing the character designs. Honestly it's either that:

> He's trying too hard to imitate Kishimoto's style instead of creating the Boruto Manga with his own style, in fear of it being completely denied.
> He just doesn't put too much effort into the Boruto Movie designs due to it not being new content worth stressing over.

I think we can all agree that the only less cringe-worthy thing about his art has only been the Flash Forward chapter.

I'd hope not else there are pretty retarded. Fanservice itself tuns many fans off especially if this was traditionally suposed to be an adventure/action packed manga mistakes like these causes the series as a whole to plummet.

Agreed. I made my stance on it a while ago, if they start showing panty shots intentionally like in those harem anime, then I have nothing else to say about the series :lol

Personally I don't see people dropping the new series just based on Sarada's outfit, but people are generally turned off in general by everyone looking off. I'm honestly being patient on this due to the fact that Ikemoto and Ukyo Kodachi have had months (almost half a year) to develop a story for this series while it was announced. Even now time flies and we haven't been given new content bar like four chapters with no given context. I can only assume that they are biding time in order to fully flesh out the story, nothing else makes sense because they aren't doing anything in terms of working when it comes to rehashing a story that's already out there.

If they somehow fail to give anything good with these months of preparation, then the series needs to die. I think back to early Shippuden and how Kishimoto had years to develop the continuation of Naruto since it's finale. Maybe those guys can start off strong, because they definitely need a rebound. It's become a thing to automatically hate the series just based on the art style alone, and the rehash obviously.

Two things that can change overtime, sadly.

The author can become rusty easily by not practing but if he does continue this maybe his art might become slightly better but this art comes no where near Kishi's pilot manga or even the 1st chapter. Kishi's characters look realistic whereas this guy's looks like some lollis on the street. I don't think its going very far, you're already set on the stage when the Leaf Village is destroyed meaning that the power scaling in the new gen is thrown off. There is no hardwork anymore, just get a Tatoo and you're all set. Man, I really don't expect much. Thisis what happens when a series gets milked too hard. :lol:

Yeah :lol

The only thing Ikemoto is good at is background images in comparison to Kishimoto who was reasonable in both. I don't know man... we don't really have any given information on these crests (they were officially labeled in the preview). I mean honestly the power scaling has been off since Rikudou powers were introduced, and Kishimoto even had the Otsutsuki take part in the story with next generation characters. We all hoped that Naruto would return to its original roots and go back, but truthfully there was never any signs of that happening..

All I do is when a chapter is released I scroll to the last page and if there isn't any new information, I don't bother reading it. This rehash is pathetic, why put the movie events into a manga when you've made a movie about it? All the viewers most probably have already seen the movie. Stuff like this is unnecessary and a waste of time.

Same. The rehash won't end for a while, I'm predicting November being the absolute latest. Another 3-5 months for the series to finish.

And the fact that the series is monthly throws people off too. Why make a rehash and then release it after such a long time? It's really a middle finger to the fan's, and the only logical explanation is that they're just trying to expand time in order to really get the story down and the direction of the series. If that's the case, I won't complain. If the arc after the rehash is trash, then these two just suck beyond belief.

That's pretty sad, it's like those guys are getting some special attention and they are only a minority lol.

Right? I just watched Sawyer's latest review of the Boruto Manga, and he said everything that I'm sure everyone else is saying about the rehash. The least they could do is throw in more future panels for theories, discussions, and just an overall reason to look forward to the chapter every month.

There's literally nothing about the rehash worth looking forward to if you saw the Movie already. That's why fan's are generally unhappy with this continuation.

 

[Nick01]

He should've just made his own Manga instead of further ruining a memorable series. :|

Then he wouldn't get hate on his crappy art style.

Imo if they were going to go the Boruto route anyway, they should've just let SP handle the art/animation.
