Actually, I'm not talking about Fujishima's basic designs, but his
overall new drawing style. Take a look at Ah! My Goddess Book 18. Look
at some of the faces he's drawn and you'll see that he's been changing
his drawing style, for what I say, for the worse. Example p. 206's
Keiichi's face. He went from his original drawing style (in 1988) from
ugly to good to better to borderline and dropping fast. I must admit
that he has a good conception of space, mechanics, and clothing still
(look at the lovely folds in the clothes). However, I'm fast losing
interest in the way he draws, kinda like my interest in Kia Asamiya's
works (boy did everyone in Silent Mobius turn butt ugly!).
