    True, my favorite manga all have a distinct art stile. But also a unique style in story telling and pacing.

      Yeah, as I’ve said elsewhere in this thread that is now too complex for me to keep track of:

      An actually distinct art style is usually, not always, but usually, an indicator that many other aspects of the manga or anime will be of higher quality, try to do something more unique, or less common.

        Makes sense. If one is run-of-the-mill budget production, then the other is too. Right?

        And at least in most of the better ones, you can feel that the story writer and/or mangaka are with the heart behind it.

          Well, I would say this does not work in reverse (converse?).

          Show has a fairly standard style?

          Total crapshoot, could be great in many ways other than style, could be awful, could be mid.

          If all A are also B…

          That is not the same as ‘all Not A are also Not B.’

          So, if you see a unique style (A), decent chance it is also good in other ways (B).

          But, if you don’t see A… that just tells you nothing, really, about B.

          It does not mean that B is less likely to be present, simply because A is not present.
