Re: Air Gear: Hangout

It'll take some doing but i think i can get used to drawing AG again...the difficulty lies in OG himself...always changing things...

That is why he is the best artist in the manga business.:)

Re: Air Gear: Hangout

I can agree with that partially but i like consistency.

Lets take...Obata-sensei...most of deathnote had the same lovely artstyle...while even now OG is messing around with AG's style.

Yeah, but the Death Note art style was developed over five years of Hikago.

well, its one thing to gradually change/improve one's style over time but what o!g does is random, sometimes its more cartoony, sometimes it more realistic, and he doesn't just stick with one for a certain type of scene (fighting, comedic, etc.). that's what is slightly frustrating with following o!g's art style. most other artists usually try to stick with a particular style and throw in random chibi or completely silly/different styles of drawing when the occasion calls for it.

Re: Air Gear: Hangout

this may be random but i was wondering if anyone knew what this was?
http://www.onemanga.com/Air_Gear/206/004/

to me it looks like there could have been a big attack or something that caused that damage. not sure if it was ever acknowledged at anytime.

no, that's the aftermath of ringo's trick that she performs again in the following pages, before hopping over to see kanon's work on the regalia.

Re: Air Gear: Hangout

i dotn think that was a really a trick she did but more of a slide to slow herself down. the metal wall of the shaft has a huge rip in it and given the way she looked at it i would say it has some history.

Re: Air Gear: Hangout

maybe, but like i said it looks like the damage from an attack, probably a regalia. i spent some time trying to see if it was ever mentioned but i dont think it has been, it could be minor but also could be from an important event of the past that we might still get to learn about.

agito/akito pulled off fangs that easily cut down trees before using his regalia (orca battle), and ringo broke parts of the building when shooting off thorns in her battle against ikki when she was still not using a tuned regalia, benkei could a-t kick a big mecha like a soda can (attack on osaka), ikki and kazu wrecked the hall in their fight (kazu drepression) without regalias yet fighting at king levels... is it really that hard to believe that the destroyed tower wall was done by ringo as she was practicing her trick.

usually when an author shows something ominous without explaining anything, it means that whatever else is happening in that scene is related. a wall is destroyed, ringo is practicing... no explanation or mention of this destruction by anyone. the math is simple. if it was from some past event, kanon would have made some mention of it since he at least knows that sf is training to take on genesis. instead, kanon mentions how ringo is handicapped because her last (sub)regalia was not tuned.

Re: Air Gear: Hangout

ok, your not seeing the shere size of the wall, the damage is enourmous, its a thick, industrial steel wall, ringo is not making gaping rips in the side of it everytime she goes in. now tell me that it woulndt take a regalia to do this kind of damage.

apparently you don't realize how deep the tower is either... if you were falling for long enough, adding the velocity from her posture to increase her speed as she's falling, its not as hard as you think to come at just the right angle of a surface and actually cut into it. you ever wonder why people are not allowed to even throw a single penny off the side from the top of the statue of liberty... its because by the time it gets to the bottom, its got the force of a heavy brick and can easily kill a person if it hits them.

with all of the suspended disbelief in this very shounen manga, whom the main characters (merely middle schoolers) just recently did a combo attack that created a hurricane of gigantic proportions... how powerful and shaped must a 'fang' be in real life to actually cut anything, considering its just a 'shockwave' composed from the accumulated heat energy of acceleration and braking. so why is it hard to accept that ringo's trick is what did the damage to the wall.

http://www.onemanga.com/Air_Gear/206/005/
if this was only for stopping herself, she wouldn't need to do the body rotation beforehand, nor would the 'clouds' be in such an erratic shape. those 'clouds' are similar to the effects used for something breaking/exploding. besides, ringo has been training for quite a while, so her moves have been honed and she would never unnecessarily waste movement or energy on a trick (on top of the fact that she's a grav kid who are capable of utilizing 'all' of their energy).

this is a comparison of ikki and ringo doing similar moves, and notice the fine 'dust/effects' trail that ringo has compared to ikki's powerful but erratic ones.

Re: Air Gear: Hangout

once again, ringo is not shredding the gigantic metal walls of the trophaneum everytime she pops in for a visit. i have to disagree with you.

if you ask me i'm starting to think that the damage is left over from a battle from the past that we dont know about that was an attempt to take the sky regalia.
