Ok, not everybody is fond of his style

But, he's quite good nonetheless

But above all, his work is much tainted with ecchi

Obari was loved in the late 80s and very early 90s for his mecha designs, not his girls. However, he began doing the various series the OP mentioned (don't forget Angel Blade, virus, many forgotten game covers...) and now he know for weirdly porportioned fan service centric designs. I always though he could make a good movie if he had a good script to start with... but... yeah that hasn't happened yet.

This dude draws the most fucked-up-looking people. Even by anime standards.

He used to draw all of his people like bugs for some reason, but now they look relatively normal (except for the women having crazy hips and breasts sometimes)

Seconded. Lesbian schoolgirls are definitely relevant to my interests.

Angel Blade.

These are the only pictures in this thread that are actually Masami Obari's work:
>>209417
>>209418
>>209419
>>209420
>>209421
>>209424
>>209575
These ones are by animators under Obari's art direction:
>>209416
>>209504
And these ones have nothing to do with Obari, and are the work of artist Tsukasa Kotobuki:

<This pic was a good one by Kotobuki. Oh, and like Obari Kotobuki went on to animation art direction as well. He's actually the guy behind Saber Marionettes. An other interesting fact is that even though Kotobuki did character design for Battle Arean Toshinden the anime, Obari is actually the animation's director.

I'm an Obari fan. His style is unique, but not bad in any way. I know a lot of people who hate Urushiahara because of his style, too. You gotta have love for unique artists.

No, it's the only pic I found from the show with visible nudity (except the screens of ep. 3 from G. Zwei)
It's from an artbook found on beyourtruemind.net (which is not working for me lately :/)

>>209755
My, pleased to learn that. I know not of this guy.
>>209927
Yeah, it's called G-One, used to have it too, but I burned it and the cd doesn't work anymore |(. I'm re-dling it, but it's slowwww.

Obari is obsolete, people no longer dig this stuff

>>209498
some lame hook-ups shirt or something?
>> K-chama
Masami Obari's girls are too shiny and pointy. You're likely to slip off and cut yourself.
>> Anonymous
Gravion characters aren't by Obari, but by Makoto Uno. Obari just directed the show.
