Eh, Togashi's art is pretty unappreciated because people just judge it based on the worst they've seen and forget about the rest. While it's not necessarily clean, the detail and paneling is incredible at times and he definitely deserves to be on there.

Young All Might makes me beg and pray we'll finally see his past that Horikoshi has been holding out on. (And Nana....)

If we're talking about the art of the mangaka in general, isn't consistency the most important aspect? If a low amount of chapters has incredible art, but a high amount of chapters bad art, then the average art isn't looking good despite the few chapters where it was incredible. However if someone is consistently delivering good art, that's imo better.

Probably because it is more recent

Shun Saeki made it far up although Souma is only 1.5 years older.

In a movie ?

As if. Probably it was inserted only to push people to the cinema ....

I like how Boruto broke his spine and is still fighting.

Bit better if it's made by a SP animator (with right body proportions lol)

I wonder how Togashi and Furudate made it on that list, but Horikoshi didn't. Don't get me wrong I like both HxH and Haikyuu, but I feel like the art is the weaker part of both, while Boku no Hero Academia has really strong art. Haven't read YYH, so I don't know if Togashi's artstyle used to be better back in the days.

Furudate’s art might be different from the anime art (the latter of which many people here prefer) but his art has grown to be one of the most dynamic manga art I have seen, due to the very frequent use of uncommon and more extreme angles (about 60%-70% of his panels are from more extreme angles), which also results in pretty frequent camera angles switching, lending another shade of dynamism to the art). His paneling is incredibly strong as well and some of his spreads are simply beautiful.

I'm not saying it's bad. I like his art, it's just often not that consistent. He can create really great panels, it's just that the characters aren't really drawn consistently.
Looking at other mangaka like Shun Saeki, Yuuki Tabata or Horikoshi, they all draw their characters pretty consistently well.

In Furudate's case they just look off a lot of times. I feel that for example Posuka Demizu and Yuusei Matsui have similar issues with their art. Again, I don't dislike the art, I actually like it. It's just that the art still has room to improve.

The Haikyuu anime is a good example for that, because it draws out the true potential from Furudate's character designs. Basically if the art from the anime were to be translated into manga, this would be the kind of consistency that Shun Saeki, Tabata or Horikoshi have.

if anything, the art/animation has been really good mostly. I don't have an issue like others do with BC's production but I guess I can see that Boruto's is better.

I agree with you about the inconsistency, but the Haikyu!! anime lacks Furudate’s dynamism. The fluid movements from the anime comes from the (incredible) animation, and not the art itself. The earlier anime seasons fail to capture his art in many occasions (season 3 came real close though). What draw me most to Furudate art is how he captures movements, which is something few artists can do.

I've watched Noah's Notes chapter 3 raw:

Spoiler

-It seems there is an organization where Professor belongs
-They traveled to Italy
-It seems there is also an evil organization

I didn't really mean the animation, but the character design when I was talking about the anime. You're right though, Furudate is great at capturing movements which is why I really like his art despite the inconsistency in character design. I just feel that he has more room to improve than the other mangaka I mentioned, who imo are nearly as consistent as humanly possible.

Basically what I mean is whenever they draw their characters, they look basically the same as always. In Furudate's case it's often easily noticeable that proportions are a little off.
