...now that you mention it, it is so true. *shot* I haven't read enough of Part 3 to really understand, but from what I've heard... Perhaps it is less extreme in Bleach? I am half-dreading actually seeing some of the Stands. :x
(totally not smooshing two comments into one but) Re: the visuals in manga, I agree (again)! But I think that Ayamine's art, out of the three, is from a different school - KT and Araki rely on lineart, while Ayamine relies on screentone/shading. I used to read the local translation of GB, which had lousy print quality, and I have to say that the print quality really makes a difference in anyone's enjoyment of GB. When I went to Japan I bought a few volumes of GB in Japanese - think it was 15-19 - and it never occurred to me that his art might be more than something to put up with before I saw the originals, but I was impressed with how pretty it was after that.
