Those reflections. I'm not worthy. That is probably one of the best renderings of a reflective surface I have ever seen in manga.

Though seriously, this is an entire chapter of THE ROBOT FLYING AND LANDING.

He draws like he's storyboarding.

Ridiculous! I see posts like this all the time for all these mangas, "just gimme what I want right now!" Patience, people! Once you have everything there will be nothing left!

I'm not speaking a different language, so try not to oversimplify my posts like that if you don't understand my comments. If you need further explanation, just ask.

You have to see the Eyeshield 21 colors spreads.

Ugh, not again. Did it look amazing and mind blowing? Yes. But I really dislike the lack of story progress.

And we didn't even get a GIF from the last chapter!

This is exactly why I got 2 monitors at work. One to watch the live stream and the other one to read and post on GAF.

Yeah.

I've kind of avoided eyeshield 21 because I find american football to be incredibly boring.

I'll check out the colour spreads though.

Huh, I've always wondered how manga artists like murata clean their pencil lines. Seems like he sketches fairly rough.

Dude, I hate American handegg as much as any proper Brit should and I still think ES21 is worth reading.

You should avoid the manga because it´s incredibly racist and dumb.

goddamn u murata
what are they doing man, one's already have the story for so long why is murata dragging this

Best Eyeshield 21 color spread IMO.

 

[Antiwhippy]

It's been on my list of stuff to check out, it's just my apathy for american football always makes me skip it.

One day though. Never knew it was done by such a good artist. OPM was my first exposure to murata.

I was looking for it. Love it.
Jumonji looks so cool on that one.

No, you're incredibly racist and dumb.

ES21 has some uncomfortable scenes and is pretty racially ignorant, but it's not particularly hateful.

Eyeshield 21 is the foortball version of Captain Tsubasa but with good art.

And yet it looks so amazing. I really like his style.

The characters are unique while in Tsubasa everybody has the same face.

somewhere along the way eyeshield became boring for me
i remember really liking it in the beginning/middle
i remember not liking the ending either
it had a good run

Well the last arc was just pure fan service with the Japanese team featuring all the characters we liked, it wasn't necessary. But hey, I didn't complain about it, it was a dream coming true for the 14yo Eyeshield 21 fanboy I was back then.

 

[RepairmanJack]

I'm a huge fan of football but I just couldn't get into ES21. I think being a big fan had a lot to do with it. I just couldn't get over a lot of the absurdities in the actual games. Players crossing the entire field in seconds or players running what seems like miles for the play to only end up being 4 yards. It's my problem with most sports manga, they end up injecting too many skills/powers/awesome moves to make it believable. Also the weird racial stuff made it awkward. It wouldn't have been too big of a deal, but by the time it got to that stuff I had already gotten kind of tired of the silliness.

Still liking Haikyu though, mainly because they haven't put any of this in it yet.

 

[Phoenician_Viking]

No, you're incredibly racist and dumb.

No you.

ES21 has some uncomfortable scenes and is pretty racially ignorant, but it's not particularly hateful.

It´s blatant with black muscles, black bone structure. And FYI racists are mostly ignorant. If it´s not hateful it does not mean it is still less racist and dumb, especially when there are millions of impressionable Japanese teenagers who are mostly ignorant about blacks, and racial sensitivities. These teens might actually think that black people are like that. Stereotyping belongs also under racially ignorant and offensive actions.

 

[brotkasten]

e: ^ Seems like it.

Is ES21 the one with superior black muscles and everything?

 

[Reknoc]

Eyeshield 21 was what introduced me to american football and I love it.

Same actually. Couldn't really give a shit about it before since it barely exists in the UK.

 

[Kurita]

Do we need the "Eyeshield 21 is racist" whenever we talk about it?
It's getting old.

 

[SenorArdilla]

OPM 25

Not much happening. Beautiful art though.

 

[ColossalLazy]

So its racist because the whole black muscle deal? Oh please.

 

[RepairmanJack]

So its racist because the who black muscle deal? Oh please.

I actually never even got to the black muscles stuff. For me it was the first time the American’s show up and the guy is calling everyone "Japs" and "monkey's" and it shows some black people looking at a computer with giant lips. Just a little awkward and uncomfortable.

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

I never weighed on the matter but although the reasoning is wrong (black muscles) but the fact is that black men are faster that white men.

I guess is a problem how stereotypical is the portrayal of black men in manga and anime, but that's hardly only a problem on E21.

To be fair, the entire character of the Coach is that he's a prejudiced and ignorant racist.

The coach is supposed to be racist, that's his character.

True. Eyeshield 21 just shows black people as natural born runners due to their physiology supposedly.

Oh I understood that. It really wouldn't have been reason enough for me to stop reading, I had just already gotten bored of the silliness. That just made it a little unconfortable so I picked it as good as time as any to stop reading.

Well, that was something. Did the first 3 chapters really need to exist though?

Derp. Because it´s the same as this

But you go ahead and defend this piece of shit racist manga.

I can confirm this.

e: ugh, ffs. not again.

 

[Kave_Man]

black muscles are the best. :lol

 

[ColossalLazy]

The trainer is obviously racist and the manga shows that he is wrong in his ways.

The manga depicts black people as superior in running (which they are in real life) due to their muscles (which could be the wrong reason).

Do you think that after reading Eyeshield 21 people will treat black people as trash?

 

[Reknoc]

I bet Eyeshield is Jeremy Clarksons favourite manga.

Nah I do not need further explanation, you were perfectly clear. I believe my assertion is equally clear. The notion of "nah, that's enough mysteries" is ludicrous. We have HOW many years left of this manga? There is no need to rush into revealing anything before it is appropriate for the story that is being told.

Are you able to keep the stream in full screen whilst working on your main monitor?

Nope. Flash is theoretically capable of doing this (2 years after Silverlight led the way), but it seems UStream's flash player doesn't allow/support it.

And that's not what I was saying at all, which is why I asked if you needed clarification. If you don't want clarification that's fine too, but don't try to paraphrase my comments into completely different claims or discussions.
