Why did Naruto become so soulless...

The art was still alright then even if it wasn't as detailed. The quality drop didn't really hit until sometime in Shippuden. Blame weekly schedule and having to consider how easy things are to animate.

all old long running shonen are like this

rugged unpolished unique style > "smooth" shit.

>>251899855 (OP)

That's just what happens to all long running weekly shounen. Authors begin to cut corners because doing the same detailed drawings every week is exhausting. The only exception to this rule that I can think of Horikoshi but even he as begun taking days/weeks of since the fatigue is catching up to him.

Ninja Bart Simpson. Makes sense.

It was shit right from the very start and never improved.

Despite naruto being trash. Kishi for the most part is a good artist and naruto stayed consistent with the art. When that anon was doing story time last year, I was surprised how he handles perspectives.

Kishimoto is a fucking great artist. Even if you don't like Naruto you have to acknowledge his skill in making still drawings look so dynamic while also respecting anatomy and perspective. The art didn't stay consistent though unless you mean strictly in terms of quality. He definitely polished it and cut detail, but you can't blame the guy when he has one week deadlines. I bet Squid8 would've done much better if he had been the artist. It's a shame.

When Kishimoto started to do only storyboards for the anime

I actually respect him as a mangaka after learning about his life story. Man is the definition of "neva giv up".



Naruto still was shit in the latter half, Great Ninja War is abomination of a story and don't get me started on Aliens and Gods.

Where did you read it? I do find it cool that both him and his brother both became mangaka. And you can totally see similarities in each other's art.

Kishi draws nice shots but he can't into battle choreography

>>251899855 (OP)

I thought he lost his assistants or something?

But why did the anime make his hair doritos instead of it just being messy?

Naruto fucking wishes

he was mimicking the anime's style

It is as this anon >>251913997 says

Kishimoto began to mimick the anime's style because he was a longtime fan of the show's character designer, Tetsuya Nishio (who I believe he handpicked himself). It's definitely not a bad idea to learn how to draw your own characters from animators, since they, moreso than any mangaka, make it their business to draw the same thing over and over in a consistent manner.
