_Art Book of Naruto Uzumaki_ Part-5

もう単純に普段と違う絵が描けたのが楽しかった。 こ それはもうほとんど、 ナルトとサスケを描いた、という よりカエルとタカを描いて喜んでました。

This one was fun simply because I got to draw in a different style. It was great to depict Naruto and Sasuke, or I should say, toad and hawk.

ナルトとサスケが 対立していく本編の図式を、一枚の絵で表現したかったんです。共にお互いのことを良く分かっているので、 刃を交わしながらも険しさは見せず、表情はむしろ冷静なくらい。ここでわざとらしく表情を 露にしてしまったら、冷めてしまうと思うんです。感情を出さない、その静けさが逆に恐いかと。背景にも対立・対比を表現するために、"空と海”という2つのモチーフを入れ込みました。決して交わることのない緑と赤、空と海ですね。

I wanted to express the concept of the main storyline, where Naruto and Sasuke come into conflict, in a single image. Since they know each other so well, they aren't showing hostility even as they cross knives. They look rather calm. I thought that if I gave them obviously antagonistic expressions, it would come off as too deliberate. By hiding their feelings, I hoped the calm atmosphere would seem chilling. I put the two motifs of sky and sea in the background in order to express a sense of the characters' conflict and contrast. The green and red, and the sky and sea, represent things that never mix.

対称をイメージした構図で、ナルトがサスケの背中の上をぐるんと回っています。ふたりとも手足が同じ様なポーズになるようにして、背景に物を印で配置することで全体のバランスをとってます。さらにナルトの巻物が◯印になっていて ...そう、実は◯と×にもなっているんです(笑)。とにかく対称ということで、バランスをすごく意識して描きました。 今見るとアニメの影響からか、絵柄が少し変わり始めてるんじゃないかな? 結構お気に入りの一枚です。

I wanted a sense of symmetry in this picture with Naruto rolling over Sasuke's back. I positioned these two with their arms and legs in similar stances, then I balanced the overall composition by putting two crossing scrolls in the background. Also, the scroll Naruto is holding forms a circle...yep, it's an X and an O (laugh). Basically, it was symmetry that kept me focused on the overall balance in this one. Looking at this picture now, it appears that my drawing style has changed a bit since then. Maybe I've been influenced by the anime? This is one I like a lot.

これは好きな絵ですね｡この構図も、左右対称を意識して描きました。鎖と紐... あと腕も対称なんです。こじんまりした絵になっちゃいそうだったので、マントで風を表現して動きを出しました。ナルトとサスケのからみ合っている手足が うまくいった かな、と。

This is one of my favorites. I focused on making a symmetrical composition here too. The symmetrical elements include the chain and the cord, and Naruto and Sasuke's arms. To keep the picture from looking cramped and static, I added the cloaks blowing in the wind. I think Naruto's and Sasuke's tangled limbs turned out nicely.

ジャンプの表紙に載った絵ですね。戦隊モノっぽいものを描いてくれ って言われて。戦隊モノって見栄切るじゃないですか。決めポーズですね。で、サスケがキャラ的にそんな ポーズをとるものか? と悩んだわけです。でもナルトはノリノリで、サクラも楽しそうにポーズをとっている。じゃあサスケは恥ずかしそうに･･･みたいな感じならOKかな、と。

This was on the front cover of Jump. I got a request to draw something like a superhero team for kids. Those heroes really strike great poses, don't they? This is Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura in hero poses. I wondered if Sasuke's personality would allow him to pose like that. But I knew Naruto would be willing to pose for sure, and so would Sakura, so I thought it'd be okay for Sasuke to strike a pose, if somewhat bashfully.

The Rules

1: unless tagged #spoilers, any novel I post will not contain plot spoilers but may contain vibe spoilers or allusion to events; I may talk about what the story is About that the dust jacket or my own synopsis may not make obvious but I won't tell you who killed somebody or a cool twist

2: I'd I post a book here it is because I finished it and liked it, OR I finished it and need to untangle why I didn't. Novels I simply don't enjoy I don't finish anymore, as a rule, but I may break it if something about it compels me to finish it. I've only had to do it twice in the last year, but both novels were so antithetical to my enjoyment that it made me actually feel mad about trying to read them.

3: I'm not gonna rate them. I don't like ratings systems, I'm not gonna try to hammer something into a number, and forcing it is just going to be dumb. I did think about making a 7 point criteria list that if a novel met it I would declare perfect, but that's too much work. Maybe in a lull of books or something I'll hammer one out. If I do, one point will be "did it contain a character wielding a sword flicking the blood from their blade before sheathing it?"

4: no rereads. I have a bad habit of returning to old books series when I have so many books that interest me that I'd like to break, so for 2024 unless I need to for something wild like a series entry I'm not expecting, no rereads.

5: There's gonna be some nonfiction in here. I've got a couple of things at the top of my to-read list that are political or social in nature, but if you're following me or reading these you probably can attune yourself to my political stances to know what's up pretty quickly. That said, I'm gonna talk about social shit occasionally even outside of those, so idk if that's a big deal but, yknow.

6: fuck it, we ball

How the Chainsaw Man Anime Adaptation Grounded Itself in Filmic Realism

Editor: Masha Zhdanova In our current era, it is difficult to imagine that Tatsuki Fujimoto is anything less than a household name. His landmark work, Chainsaw Man, enchants millions in the pages of Weekly Shonen Jump every week, and characters like Makima, Power, and Denji are icons among anime and manga fans. In 2011, though, Fujimoto was just an upstart, whose debut one-shot, Niwa ni wa Niwa…

[littleeyesofpallas]

Oh hey it was over a decade ago that Tsukishima showed up in Bleach and I got real weirded out because at the time I was still a scraggly weirdo, wearing suspenders and button downs on the regular(top two undone), my hair was that exact horrible neck length center part but with one hand run back thru it. I even have a forehead scar, though not exactly like Tsukishima's. Only difference was I wear glasses.

Weekly Shonen Jump - March 2011, Bleach chapter 438. I think at the time we had some retail insider feeding us early scans and leaks, because it looks like the official street date on this was March 14th, but my old fb memories thing pitched me this the other day.

BASTARD!! L’Oscuro Dio Distruttore: il leggendario manga dark fantasy di Kazushi Hagiwara ispirerà un nuovo anime, in arrivo su Netflix

L’adattamento è diretto da Takaharu Ozaki, il regista di Goblin Slayer e Girls’ Last Tour.

Chi vi scrive è un gran fan di “Berserk” e “Black Lagoon”, due opere, sfortunatamente, da anni in un limbo che ne ha visto i nuovi capitoli centellinati o quasi del tutto assenti (pace all’anima del Maestro Miura), cosa che ha portato anche ad una naturale penuria di adattamenti animati. 

Dovete sapere, però, che la mia personale triade di manga maledetti è formata da un altro titolo che comincia per “b”: “Bastard!! L’Oscuro Dio Distruttore”.

Chi lo conosce, sa che il fumetto heavy metal dark fantasy di Kazushi Hagiwara è pressoché disperso ormai da una vita. Immaginate, quindi, la sorpresa nell’apprendere che ne sta venendo realizzata una serie animata, il cui debutto globale in streaming su Netflix è previsto per quest’anno.

Scioccati? Lo sono anche io. A quanto pare, l’adattamento targato studio LIDEN FILMS (Cells at Work! Black, Blade of the Immortal) esiste davvero e sarà diretto Takaharu Ozaki (Goblin Slayer, Girls' Last Tour) e sceneggiato da Yousuke Kuroda (My Hero Academia, Hellsing Ultimate). 

Il design dei personaggi sarà curato da Sayaka Ono (Cross Ange - Rondo of Angel and Dragon), mentre le musiche saranno composte da Yasuharu Takanashi (Record of Ragnarok, Zombie Land Saga).

Un'epoca senza legge né ordine, in cui conta solo il potere della magia! Il regno di Meta-Likana è attaccato da un'orda di stregoni malvagi. Quando la devastazione appare inevitabile, Yoko, la figlia del Gran Sacerdote, risveglia un potente stregone. Il suo nome è Dark Schneider. 

Imprigionato nel corpo di un bambino da un potente incantesimo, Dark Schneider riesce a riprendere la forma originale. Costretto a vestire i panni dell'eroe e a difendere un regno da un'antica e oscura minaccia, il nostro fascinoso e imprevedibile protagonista dovrà affrontare maghi, belve, ma soprattutto pericolosissime (e formose…) donne guerriere! Riuscirà il più potente (e porcello…) degli stregoni a cavarsela?

Il primo trailer dovrebbe essere mostrato la prossima settimana, nel frattempo è stato svelato il cast principale dell’anime:

Dark Schneider: Kisho Taniyama (Jean ne L’Attacco dei Giganti)

Yoko Tia Noto: Tomori Kusunoki (Futaba in My Senpai is Annoying) 

Gara: Hiroki Yasumoto (Apeas in Ranking of Kings)

Nei Arshes: Yoko Hikasa (Rias in High School DxD)

Il manga è stato lanciato sulle pagine della rivista Weekly Shonen Jump ormai nel lontano 1988. A partire dal 2011, la serializzazione è cominciata a diventare sempre più irregolare, per poi entrare in una pausa indefinita; il volumetto più recente è il numero 27 e risale al 2012. 

L’opera è edita in Italia da Panini Comics, sotto l’etichetta Planet Manga e ha già ispirato una breve serie OVA di 6 episodi, usciti fra il 1992 e il 1993.
