Which of the two has an uglier art style?
The Great Debate
Baki's artstyle is cool
Kengan artstyle is kinda generic
Itagaki's artwork is amazing. He's one of my favourite mangaka, next to Murata.
>talking shit about Oliva
Yes.
pretty much what said
Baki's artstyle is pretty unique and gives it a nice flavor while kengan is pretty generic.
Although if there's one thing I hate about baki it's that the mangaka ditched baki's original looks for a shitty generic wavy hair style MC.
Are you kidding me? Look at the style and shading of Baki compared to Kengan. Not even an artfag, but even I can tell Baki is superior. This image just makes it more apparent.
Anatomy in Kengan as well as character designs are way above Baki's
But stuff like shading and paneling is better in Baki
>Be a mangaka.
>All your working time is about drawing unrealistically ripped big dudes beating each other meat.
No way they can be straight.
hyper muscle fetish is pretty niche, they're probably straight
I don't like Baki, looks way too grotesque to me.
I like Baki cause the author is self aware of his nonsensical bullshit. Is an over the top, rule of cool, ridiculously funny body horror.
In kengan the author take himself seriously and this make him and his manga ridiculous only.
In Kengan, anatomy is taken seriously most of the time and is drawn so. In Baki, their bodies are almost a fucking parody of actual anatomy, he knows what he's doing though. It's anatomically correct but intentionally distorted because it looks cool.
ENTER OKUBO

the duality of man
They're both gorgeous.
I like both.
Artfag here kengan is better
Artfag here baki is better
Kengan art is really really inconsistent, posting a single page wouldn't really be representative of what it looks like desu. You can find some really fucking shit panels and you can find some godly panels, and the shitty panels will all be shit in different ways and all the godly panels will be great in different ways. I swear there's actually like 4 different people drawing the manga sometimes and all of them are bipolar.
In comparison Baki is a lot more consistent and looks good most of the time, iconic even, but there is something to be said about the lack of variety
for every panel like this
you get shit like this
ENTER T-REX MODE
Itagaki is consistent.
Consistency = beauty
Baki's artstyle is goofier and weirder, but as many people pointed out, Kengan's artstyle is more inconsistent and has some serious QUALITY moments
Baki's has a cool sense of motion and general grotesque intensity, which makes for compelling fights as characters break down into their most feral and wild.
Early Kengan had a really cool sketchy, punky style that helped really establish a gritty tone befitting morally bankrupt underground fights. Middle Kengan, while cleaner and had more apparent technical skill as Daro improved lost a good amount of identity. At least the punches were really good. Current Kengan's really iffy and I wanna blame the pandemic and other circumstances as there's shit like some characters straight-up having jpeg artifacts on them while others are in HD clarity in the exact same panel, and this is all definitely a huge consequence snowballed from choosing to go digital instead of traditional.
right, it's fucking ugly
*jobs*
I don't know man The artist of Kengan fucking sucks at perspective
Itagaki probably has 2 decades more experience drawing his hyperstylized lump of meats, of course daro really can't hold candle to him.
