วีดีโอ

Yup Stampede is not very good. I covered it in the nightow video if your interested. We will see if there is a season 2....

@ Ya if there is a season 2 I would still give it a watch. I will check out your nightow video for sure!

Yeah having to juggle both would be mad difficult.

Yeah those little things get lost. Not that it was very important though.

Yeah I can see that. The openings didn't really match the rest of the OST though.

Well said my friend. Im pretty sure Ive heard this before with a lot of mangakas. It seems like a lot of the times they are just winging it, but perhaps they are developing themes and motifs unconsciously. Like maybe it's on a subconscious level. Humans are weird like that, and this story was really only done by 2 people. Its like why did you do that? Then someone says idk, but maybe they do know they just haven't explored the thought in depth yet. Mexican dub? That sound fire lol. All in one is the way to go! It was easier to take notes. You peep the additional stories as well? Did I say he was a fascist in this video? LOL I dont think I did.

@breakingtropes I think the two keep it vague just to not ruffle feathers and seem more neutral, cuz then they'd be asked what they had in mind, which would ruin the fun of presenting multiple views. I'm mainly thinking of Near talking about how even if God existed and presented to him His morals, Near would still decide for himself what's right and wrong, which is a crazy line to see written in a series whose author says he had no themes or morals in mind. And yeah, the Mexican dub is very beloved, much like the American dub. I even prefer it over the American one, especially when it comes to the voices of Light, Ryuk, and L. Also no, you didn't call him fascist, but that's a reading I see from a lot of people. I don't think it's necessarily wrong or completely devoid of accuracy, but Light lacks certain aspects I've seen Umberto Eco describe when it came to Italy and William L. Shirer with Nazi Germany. But again it's been a very long time since I've gone through Death Note. Light certainly embodies the strongman archetype so valued in fascist movements. I also wonder if the authors had Aum Shinrikyo in mind as well given the literal cult following that Kira gains. Sudden wanton violence by a person who believes themselves to be a deity...it just makes you wonder. Probably not, but still. Edit: Also yeah, I checked out the bonus material. I very much appreciated the epilogue. Really ties everything together. It's certainly a messy series, but I've come to appreciate messiness over the years, like with Mawaru Penguindrum.

Na, from what I hear quite a few people did, is what I realized while making the video.

Lmfao love this comment. Cheap Kira was indeed cheap.

if matsuda's theory is true, this kid made 2 kiras sakujo themselves. near's based af.

@@ailee_not_here not just based, but imagine sucking so hard the dude who REPLACED the real smartest dude told you you weren’t worth it and it hurt you so bad you killed yourself

Yuu☆Yuu☆Hakusho: Two Shots/Noru ka Soru ka Yu Yu Hakusho: Ghost Files - Two Shots / All or Nothing

Really that whole scene is kind of funny lol

Yeah, those panels in the manga are such a pain to read through at times. The anime is just more organized.

You can't screw someone who is dead!!!!

Thanks!!! Much more to come.

Yup this is acceptable. I would add on by saying, make sure to read Ls death as well.

Yeah I was under that same impression, until I read that interview with Ohba and really until I read the manga. L just seems more determined in the manga, so it makes sense for him to lie. But, I get it. There are for sure religious undertones in that scene.

Well said my friend.

Is it though?

@@breakingtropes of course dawg, the scene in which mikami writes first names in notebook so hard that he had to walk back to the desk is fuckin hilarious XDD, you won't get it in manga, also manga ending sucks imo

Hmmm yeah, I think maybe it's just because he's so locked into the case??? Or he knows that being emotional will put him at a disadvantage, kinda like how Mello is.

Yeah that was way after the manga. I liked the main character of that story, but I wish it was longer. I don't really see it as part of the original story though.

Wow did not know that, will have to look into those works. But I meant it as bringing anime to the west for its generation and for a lot of people. It was one of the first works that got me into anime. Part of me thinks these things come in waves. I remember reading somewhere that anime was not as popular in the west before Akira and also it was not as accessible. But my memory is a bit hazy on this.

@breakingtropes Here are the American names "Astro Boy" and "Gigantor". Also Speed Racer (Mach Gogogo) was aired in the US during the 1960s.

@breakingtropes Also, Robotech (Macross) was dubbed by Harmony Gold in the mid-80s and aired on syndication.

@@miguelsonofzeus Harmony gold was ass lol and terrible at dubbing from what I know. Astro boy, speed racer are of course well known and were popular in America. But did their popularity stick up until Akira made its way to America? Not to mention these works were tamer compared to Akira and more mature anime. I would say that Akira was one of the main works that brought the mature aspect to American audiences. But, I am just speaking from my experience. It be interesting to know how many people viewed anime like astro boy and speed racer as anime, and not just regular cartoons. I had no idea speed racer was anime as a kid lol.

@breakingtropes I believe Akira was the first adult oriented anime to be released in the US. Speeder Racer and Astro Boy were meant for kids, and they were profitable. Speed Racer's Japanese dub and manga were actually meant for general audiences. Akira was artistically way ahead of its time for the market it was meant for. Its detailed animation, dubbing, and storytelling were what made it more popular than it was meant to be.

Having it on VHS is dope AF, your friends brother was ahead of his time. Yeah it was a bit horrifying to me when I first saw it lol. But, super interesting.

Taguro would be proud.

Yup this does not surprise me at all and I'm sure there is a lot less running going on.

@@breakingtropes the anime came out when the manga was ongoing so it was their way of not passing it

@@beanos9 Makes sense. If I ever do a manga vs anime on this, Imma need to have a discussion with you lol.

Well said!

Geeez Im already in the middle of another long Shonen so, Imma need at least a 100k subs for that LOL. That would be a good one though.

@@breakingtropes lol i look forward to it

Man people ride for their intros. How about if I say that it doesn't really fit with the rest of the soundtrack?

Yup a lot of parrels between the two for sure. I know Gege was inspired by Togashi as well.

I thought so. Most people say the Dark Touney was though.

Yu yu hakusho

Yuu☆Yuu☆Hakusho: Two Shots/Noru ka Soru ka Yu Yu Hakusho: Ghost Files - Two Shots / All or Nothing

Wow. I guess everything aint for everybody....

Huh was the ending to MHA that bad? I stopped watching right around the overhaul saga. I will say Shonen usually has bad/rushed endings unfortunately...

For which series?

Monster ​@@breakingtropes

Also a huge mistake to rush the action. Some of those panels are so DENSE in storytelling, you really underplay them

Sometimes one panel contains three or four separate things to talk about as per what’s happening and it could turn into a ten minute explanation for one panel

@@brainofjtd Its hard to know what you are talking about in the video. But, If you are talking about the story section, I dont want there to be too much summary of the story. Because if there is, then people won't read the manga. That section is designed to be as brief as possible and I just want to hammer in the differences of the story without explaining everything in detail. So summarizing battles and going through plot points is my overall objective.

@@brainofjtd Yup thats exactly why I shorten it. The overall goal is to compare the manga with the anime, not to analyze each panel or even the manga or anime. But, to analyze the differences more so.

Thanks man. Comments like this keep me going!

Okay. Def gotta check that out!

Hmmmmm is it good? I don't know about something based on a live action adaption.

@breakingtropes ok can you do the los Angeles bb murder case

@@vihangahiggoda5101 hmmm maybe. Low key you are actually putting on a lot of extra content I forgot or didn't know about lol.

@@breakingtropes ok I understand

So essential it was foreshadowing lol. Well shit, they could have made it more entertaining.

@@breakingtropes I know right. That Cabin "Dream" was actually Mikasa's memories of the past timeline(Manga backs this up). Eren(The Founder) cannot manipulate the memories or mind of a Ackerman(proven is S3). So Eren could not show her the "Fake World", that's why Mikasa always got those headaches, because her mind remembers past timelines as well

Facts. Those scenes in the underground city were amazing.

Thats what I did too. In fact, it inspired this video lol.

@@breakingtropes lol. Priscilla was on my hit list. She had to go and I had to find out how

@@johnsw224 Right! But now I feel kind of sorry for her. Oh the irony. She was actually kind of a hero.

The characters? I mostly had a problem with the titans to be honest. I thought the characters looked as good as they could have without Witt being involved.

You will enjoy it!!! A true classic

@@breakingtropes bro I feel like it will be my fav manga just based off the movie lol
