We need to talk about how fun the paneling is in bnha. Like it genuinely seems like Hori isn’t just creative with other stuff in the plot but the borders and such, the art direction itself
Man saw his opportunity to show the split personality with a WING
Splitting the panels with Dabi’s body and clothes??
Drawing bubbles in the panels and bending them with impact?
It’s billowing up like rising fire, hotter and hotter. Like it’s only following Dabi’s direction. When Hori does this ^
With Nagant’s rifle but also her bullets
And Overhaul (splitting the panels between Eri and Izuku, but also, notice how his thumb separates himself and Izuku too??)
Text boxes getting caught up in the mix (below)
(the above with Endeavor being that everything has been turned upside down for him. It’s a huge reveal and this paneling is reminiscent, to me, of those slow zoom-ins with a scene in a movie/series where a character is about to lose their mind. It’s such a big revelation, it changes everything for him; he’s losing his mind knowing that his presumed-dead first born is actually alive and, of all things, a villain)
And then, probably my favorite use of panel borders (though don’t hold me to that dsifnsdisfdji I have a lot of favorites)
Mostly because it’s Twice spiraling and it shows so well. But I wanna walk you through why I think it’s great too, because the paneling is normal before this, then Twice spirals to this page, and the speech bubble at the end doesn’t even finish because you jump STRAIGHT into Twice’s backstory. The scene acts kind of like a sudden white noise, where everything is too busy, too loud, like you can’t even think straight (that’s the point of it!), and then it just suddenly stops
And you’re met with this panel
Anyway. I could go on and on about stuff like this. It just makes it so interesting and fun to read!
