I do agree that his art just keeps getting better as he keeps going. Platinum end while having a similar style to Death Note is such a massive step up from it. Like with his coloured works, I have no clue how he is doing this traditionally, when most of the mangaka of his generation switched to digital ages ago, but he's still making art of the same quality

I hear those 3rd Strike Makoto voice clips over Hikaru no Go. Respect. 😎

That's so awesome, great ear!

[@randomality]

Only surprised there was no mention of his redesigns of the Castlevania characters for the Castlevania fighting game. Overall great video though!

[@GameArts1]

Agreed. Actually I read about it after making this video and I believe I included in one of my shorts IIRC. haha

Te falto mencionar algo MUY importante en BAKUMAN , cada vez que mashiro mejoraba su dibujo , mencionaban tácticas , como meter menos screentones al manga , el manga mismo se veia reflejado en ello , la ilustracion de Ligth Yagami sosteniendo el mundo , en Bakuman se hizo una referencia en "Las 2 tierras" ya que es la misma pose y todo , School Judment es un remanente del manga "PCP" y "seigi no mikata " y platinum End es un remanente del manga de angeles que pretendian entregar para la primera golden future CUP , si bien Death note es lo que catapulto al DUO OBATA y OBA , Bakuman para mi fue el que cambio todo
