Earl is the worst for this.
I just finished Earl. Either the AI for catchup for Earl is egregious as you've said or the tail end of the race is mostly cornering and I'm just bad at it. I had to restart like 4 times.

When I hear Takeshi Obata, Death Note comes to mind (I'd assume most of you would have the same thought).
-
I've read Death Note (I've watched the anime first), Bakuman (Manga then Anime then Manga again), All You Need is Kill (Movie first), Platina End (manga only). I've also watched Hikaru no Go but only knew it was Takeshi Obata's work when creating this post. I loved all of his works besides Platina End which I only liked. His new works hasn't reached the level of Death Note and Bakuman, unfortunately.

As much as I would like to say that it's all about the story, I'd say his art still has a big impact to the manga. His art elevates the story to a whole new level. I couldn't imagine Death Note drawn by another mangaka like Eyeshield 21's Yusuke Murata, or Kaiji's Nobuyuki Fukumoto to be the same masterpiece. The drawback is he needs a good partner, which fortunately he had with Tsugumi Ohba. Death Note and Bakuman were great, maybe even modern classics that would be relevant for years to come. On the other end, Platina End was a disappointment. The story was only fine but the art elevates the manga a bit to be likeable.

I don't know if it would actually work well, but it was interesting to imagine Obata's art being used on Nobuyuki Fukumoto's work. Imagine Light Yagami playing Restricted Rock, Paper, Scissors. That'd be epic.
He has a beautiful unique style where if you a random page of any of his works on the internet, you'd know it was his.
I hope he continues to make more works, and I'll be excited to read all of it.
Maybe I should read Hikaru no Go as well.
Do you not like the "Chosen One" trope as well? Sometimes I don't like it if not executed well.
Like all the protagonist's hard work is swept aside because he suddenly has HAX because he's the Chosen One is bad execution.
Was it like this in KHR?
incarnation/resemblance of older characters trope
Which one are you talking about? And why do you hate the trope so much?
I remember Ghost Fighter also had daily life arc.
It's been a long while since I've read this manga but I remember that the first part of the manga was leaning towards Slice of Life/Comedy and only about 40 chapters or so did it become a full on Shounen Battle Manga.
I think the obvious thing is to make it a shounen battle manga on the get go with a heavy sprinkle of SoL/Comedy.
That's probably it. I remember it got kind of convuluted towards the end but I was a kid back then and maybe just didn't understood it that much.
Maybe lean more towards the vongola family story instead of whatever they did at the end?
Maybe I'm still in the early stages (blacklist 10) that catchup for enemies isn't too relevant because I've been smoking them (like half the map away).
Although when I do make a mistake (ram head-on against another car, hit a wall, etc.) it is plainly obvious that given enough time I'll be able to catch up.
Maybe OP thought that the car chase happened so that they can make an ad for Chevrolet. (Which could be true, and I think had happened to other movies.)
But I think what usually happens is the car chase is already in the script and the production reached out to car brands that are interested in sponsoring the movie. Then adding some glorious shots where the brand is obviously visible and the center of focus to accomplish the advertisement and gain revenue.
only the scammers. sometimes they're mildly annoying if they're performing in a crowded/small street and being an obstruction to the way.
damn 1 out of 81.
I'll just get the unique performance marker instead.
you don't, it stays at the back of your head and it'll haunt you at random times.
For me the god of gambling manga is Fukumuto Nobuyuki, and hes getting old (64 years old). I've said this earlier but it'd be interesting to see them pair up.
