Hiro Mashima vs. Eiichiro Oda

[MakeEmum]

Who has the better drawing style in terms of Character design and Background..etc

since people say they're similar and all, just curious what you people think

[Cyclone248i]

As far as design I'm willing allow a draw with a bias towards Oda, but , when it comes to backgrounds,there's no question that Oda is the master.

[Karotte]

Mashima draws sexier women in my opinion. :hurr

[Tempproxy]

This is my personal opinion but I think Mashima copies the shit out of Oda style, I am sure many will claim they cant see it but that shit is clear as day I have recently tried to get into Fairy Tail but I cant help but feel I am reading One Piece take 2 again from the way Natsu and Lucy meet is an excat rip of to the original way Luffy met Nami. Maybe its just the Oda fanboy in me but to me there is the master in Oda and then there is the wannabe in Mashima.

[Ningen]

Mashima does certainly draw sexy women, but overall I think I prefer Oda's drawings and designs. It might just be my bias and love of One Piece that won't allow me to see Mashima's as better, but a lot of Mashima's designs seem bland and uninteresting. Like someone pointed out, Oda is better with backgrounds.

Oda definitely has Mashima completely beat on story, character development, fights, and awesomeness. They're not even comparable in these areas.

[Jetstorm]

Oda is superior. Even more so if you only compare Fairy Tail to One Piece. At least comparing Rave to OP is a bit less of a stomp.

[Mystic Aizen]

Personally I have fapped more to Mashima's drawings, but Oda is in a league of his own.

[Oxvial]

Blackbeard I think this is the first time I see a major antagonist with that type of design.. I'm going to side with Oda .

Fairy Tail its just all about sexy woman's .

in term of wardrobe i think if comparing "fashion" style it goes to mashima, but originality,awesomeness,epicness and such style it goes to Oda.i mean Oda puts combination that fits excelently and badass (well mostly weird :D)

well of course Mashima wins in term of drawing chicks, but he can only draw oh so perfect boys :( hw can't drew macho or badass man at all :(
just look at elfman and the new guy that is part of the 10 holy mage...
i don't know it just seems realy bland.

then the backgrounds... ODA definitely wins :D

originality?? ODA!!!!
for proof?? compare the epicness in Supernova to the FT oracion seis :zaru

though mashima's 4 demon realm god design in rave is quite good :)

[Graham Aker]

Backgrounds go to Oda obviously.

Character design?
Mashima draws sexier women in my opinion. :hurr
That.

As for the 2 having the same style? Are you people blind? :facepalm
Look closely at their art and compare. If you can't see the obvious differences, you are beyond hope. Go and have your eyes removed. :hmpf

I pretty much agree with this. Fairy Tail's women are far sexier than most of the girls in One piece.
Oda is superior. Even more so if you only compare Fairy Tail to One Piece. At least comparing Rave to OP is a bit less of a stomp.

Indeed. In everything else but women, Oda is better. Especially when it comes down to Backgrounds and details. But we should probably thank his assistants for that.

Yeah the aren´t even close to each other. Only common thing in their manga is dragon ball influence.

Mashima draws better women and Oda better backgroung if he does it himself and not his assistant

[Nihonjin]

Overall I prefer Oda, but as people have pointed out Mashima draws hawter females. :hurr

[Gutsu]

Oda has more stuff going on in each panel including more detail background. Mashima has a more cleaner look to it. Oda does draw hawt woman is that he doesn't do much fanservice like Mashima does though the anime version of One Piece does add fanservice.

Also there's lots of doujins based on One Piece girls are out their. :wink

[Yasha]

Never read OP, but I like Rave's drawing. Both aren't top-notched (like Tsukasa Hojo, Takehiko Inoue, Takeshi Obata, etc.), that's for sure.

[typhoon72]

Oda. No question in everything except drawing women. Which he has gotten way better at, but Mashima is still the best at that.

[Avon Barksdale]

hhmmm i'm gonna go with Nobuhiro (soz for spelling Watsuki (creater of rurouni kenshin) Nobuhiro Watsuki

[taboo]

oda forever, other guy never
