I like the idea but why, why did they make it 360p? Such great art doesn't deserve all that artifacting. Whine aside, it works really nicely.

I really would love to see amateur attempts at animating some of the scenes though. The key frames are there, you just have to make roughly a billion inbetweens.

VVV Consider me appeased then!

Because it's actually a rip of the original from niconico. I guess whoever ripped it didn't have nicovideo premium, because the version there is high quality.

Is it safe to start saying that Murata in a few years (maybe even now) is probably going to be the best manga/comics artist in the world? I mean, just stringing his drawings together makes a better OP than half of all the other fully animated ones.

Also, what's the song from? I really want to get a good dose of teenage angst.

Art is very much subjective. Murata is amazing, but it isn't as though technical excellence is something he has a monopoly on. Besides, comparing highly detailed art to anime OPs isn't really fair. Even when the source material includes that level of detail, anime studios rarely have the budget to animate it accordingly.

In short, be wary of hyperbole.

My friend, every so and so a little bit of lovely high school songs is good for the soul, especially when it comes to anime OP's.

Well obviously yeah, I mean there's no way I'd say that murata is better than the myriad of masters out there, but I think his key strength lies in the feeling of motion and action he captures perfectly, the clear crisp lines he uses, his effective use of inking and the way that he blends detail with an accessible look that appeals to manga readers. Definitely my favourite current Shonen manga artist for sure.

Working at this pace, and being the overachiever he is, Murata will have only months. Alive, that is.



Also, in a world with Miura, second place is the best one can aspire to. :colbert:

Fubuki and Tatsumaki (Blizzard and Tornado) are both in the original, but they don't actually appear in the story for quite a while. They're very popular, though, so I'm guessing that Murata and ONE did the extra chapter to both satisfy fans of the original and give new readers a preview of some recurring characters.

Blizzard is crazy stylish. Not that it really matters, as even with actual super powers she isn't even strong enough for class A. In other words, there are two different normal dudes in tank tops that are considerably stronger than she is.

Next chapter is up in Japanese. Again, very short (unless Murata ninja edits in a dozen pages while I type this like he did last time). Murata's having way too much fun with webcomic format.

No, it's all bad. They saved their images in (probably 16 color) png which made the grey tones look like pixelated poo poo, and despite the entire chapter having maybe 30 lines of text they still managed to make mistakes.

"I didn't see the part where he develops as a character so I guess he never developed as a character"
The chapter was enjoyable. Mangapanda's translating and editing were not. They flubbed the meaning of several lines, for instance making it seem as though Genos was worried about Saitama in the scene directly following his upgrade. He's not worried about Saitama at all. He's worried about Saitama's opinion of him--of what his teacher would think if Genos turned and ran while Saitama himself was just chilling while the meteor came down.

And for a series where the art is one of the major appeals, having humongous watermarks pasted on top of every single page (every single downsized, pixelated page) is not a good thing by any stretch of the imagination.

I only read Boon's translations, but to quote his version: Genos: "Teacher lives in this city too... I can't just run away and leave him here to die!" Care to clarify?

Eh, Boon isn't a perfect translator either. He's significantly better than mangapanda but he does make mistakes too, and whether I'm right or he is, the last bit of the second sentence was added on by him. The original line is 「この町には先生も住んでいる・・・俺だけ逃げる訳にはいかない!」 which simply states that he can't run away by himself when Saitama is there. I suppose you could make a case that Genos was indeed concerned for his teacher, but that'd contradict the conviction we've seen from Genos so far that Saitama is on a level far above anything he himself can hope to achieve.

There's also the fact that later on in a future chapter, when Saitama does appear and punches the meteor, Bang is surprised by Saitama destroying it but Genos doesn't even get a reaction cut. His only shock was at Saitama actually showing up. It's possible that Genos was surprised by Saitama's strength and Murata will add in reaction cuts for him, but going solely just by what happened, I don't think it's likely.

AnonSpore, could you delete the second paragraph in your post above? It contains a spoiler not for the latest released chapter but for the chapter following thereafter.

"Yeh've forged a magnificent sword."

"This one's only practice. The real sword I intend to forge will be three times longer."

"Can there really be a sword as monstrous as that in this world?"

"Yes. I can see that sword... Somewhere out there..."
Or just tag it "future chapter of original OPM manga" in parentheses before the spoiler. It's a useless spoiler tag without clarification of what it's spoilering, but it's your fault if you know what it's about and still read it.

...though, that said, (talking about the future chapter spoiler) if you didn't guess that's exactly what's going to happen, you haven't been paying very much attention.

Future chapter spoiler Well, I was hoping that Genos would finally get his moment of glory for once.

Rohan Kishibe

Frankly, I don't like you
and I never have.
It does kinda seem out of character that Genos would be concerned for Saitama at all, from what we've seen so far he idolises Saitama's power in such a way that, if he thinks he has a chance of stopping this meteor, I sdoubt he'd think Saitama would be threatened by it. I imagine he'd think something that could actually hurt Saitama would be WAY out of Genos' weight class.

So to move on past the CIA document here, I'm hoping that when Saitama eventually shows up and solves this problem, because this manga isn't called "Genos kicks rear end", that this is how he finally gets his "hero name". I don;t think he's ever been called anything but Saitama and if he solves a Dragon level threat with just one punch then, well, maybe he will have the title foisted upon him.

Alternatively, he stays as Saitama the whole time for comedy purposes, I can see either happening.

I'm suspecting that Genos gets the credit for saving the day. It might be a bit of an obvious joke but it seems fitting for Saitama.

And we need a gif of the arm arming scene. Murata has such a great knack for evoking depth of field with just a subtle use of blurring.

You know, the entire concept of a badly drawn but amusing web comic being lovely redrawn in ultra high quality is fascinating to me. Is there anywhere that talks about how that came about?

Eh, if we're talking about that one specific sentence, it changes what's being implied by the statement to something I think is pretty nonsensical. If it was done for the sake of making the sentence flow better it could have been done without changing the connotation of it.

e: Actually, never mind, I'm probably just being nitpicky because it's not how I personally would have done it, and also because I hate translation groups like mangapanda who will work on a project solely because it's popular and don't care about making GBS threads out subpar translation/editing jobs as long as they get it out before anyone else and therefore get the most views.
