His character design has gone down the shitter though.

He can do both. I mean, he's clearly an inhuman machine capable of putting out 3 chapters a week if he feels like it
True, and there was that time he made 8 chapters in one month.
He can probably do porn somewhere in his weird schedule.

I honestly want to see what ticks MangaGAF more... the last Naruto Arc or this last Bleach Arc

Last Naruto arc, Bleach has been pure nonsense for a long time, Naruto's final arc just completed the circle of completely undermining all themes the series initially established to have ninja jesus and his lover saving the world from an evil god.

If/when I read both, equally would be my guess. Both series got super boring after the first major arcs ended.

well everything just became big blasts vs big blasts + Plot armour
Kishi literally tossed out whatever rules he had for the series
the only appeasing part for me was the scuffle of fist that Sasuke and Naruto had after wasting their chakra but it wasn't even spectacular but rather "Hey it isn't chakra blasts"...
Quite honestly a better way to lead one to a final arc is what Gintama is doing even though the author is being rushed he is doing a way better job then those two.

Both final arcs are bad. Rules get thrown out the window, massive BS powerups to combat broken ass powers, the lengths are ridiculous, minor villains that are forgettable, Naruto was destined to be Jesus and Ichigo is part every species in the series (even though they started off as kinda regular guys that had to work hard), side characters become even more useless and overshadow in favor of said useless minor and major villains, and both will probably end with unsatisfying finishes.
I would say I hated Naruto's final arc more because of the "no, I'm the real villain shit show" and that the "final" villain gets introduced like really close to the end. What should ohave been a good final war arc turned into Kishimoto trying to oneup himself and extend the series past its expiration just to get to the magic 700.
So I'll go with Narut......(imagines Kubo's shit eating grin) Imma go with bleach.

The art is only a tad bit inconsistent but it is still top notch.

Bleach is worse. Naruto at least had Madara trolling. Maybe if Aizen becomes the MC Bleach can recover.

In an alternate timeline, Kubo made a manga that wasn't garbage and I actually cared about.

you know what is top notch art currently for WSJ authors (weekly publication)
Toriko
and Gintama
Come at me Wonzo
Ichigo is the most lukewarm character I have ever seen
I can't get mad at him I can't be hyped with.... I feel nothing
the only exciting and wild thing for Ichigo is his hair colour

Nah Kubo is pretty mid tier, even among weekly artists.

Ichigo was better when he used to be a punk but that got lost pretty fast.

You guys need to remember Kubo became uber lazy
It came to the point that we had a guy who had a power to control black (ink) or something and so we just got panels of black

not going to lie the most recent exciting fight for bleach was the crazy scientist dude fighting a jizzing nerve hand

I would hesitate to call any mangaka "lazy."

your right lazy isn't a proper word since that is exclusive to Togashi
I kid
what I mean is imaginatively blank
This is Kubo in a nutshell for me
Lovely tree but nothing more... no colour, character, background, etc...
Edit: But still this man works hard everyday to publish chapters weekly for so many years through thick and thin and I apologize for being a douche because of it

See thats the problem, we whine about these things but when you look back on some fights as a whole we've had a number of pretty fun ones during this blood war arc.

Don't apologize. Hard work is admirable, but it's required if you want to even begin in a creative industry. It doesn't make you exempt from criticism.
TheRealTalker
Banned
your right but I should pick more appropriate words instead of using lazy and such
maybe we are all Tsundere's for Kubo-Senpai :3
No, his apology is on point. Call him a hack, but don't call him lazy.

HeroAca? When has it had a noteworthy page of art?
MetroidPrimeRib

Best Jump artist would be Oda years ago but his panels have gotten so messy now.
It's probably Tosh but I like Horikoshi too. No one can stand up to based Hiramoto though

I agree with DTL HeroAca has some nice scenes but as a whole it doesn't pass the amazing yet (I haven't had that 2 Panel wonder of spectacle)... Plus the author is basic imho in making it blend all well together... art, background, panel and dialogue with some fight scene being written well put poorly executed.
plus panel direction he is still not up there it doesn't flow as well with tons of text that don't eloquently move naturally with your eyes relative to Gintama and Toriko
Old Oda was good at mixing everything together in a natural scene but like MetroidPrimeRib stated things became more clammered and messy. While Soma has nice art particularly its reaction panels but it seems barred to other series due to being based in a real lfe setting

The best Jump artist will be Yusaku Shibata when Zippo!! gets serialized.
Also, I can't wait for All Out's anime bump this spring. It deserves it. amazing Rugby manga.

I'd say Murata can run with Hiramoto. Dude is a god.
