@@Evbot1337 I appreciate the very well written comment! Thank you! Glad you liked it.

@@PanelFlow it's a great video, and I think the skill to give your opinion without degrading the work or it's fans is underappreciated

Nice! I read the manga for this video, I didn't watch anything from the anime, so I'm on the opposite side. But yea, I have said for years that I think OP is the greatest work of fiction ever. In one sentence it's because no story has made me feel a greater range of emotions (joy, sadness, excitement, suprise, etc.). There are very few people I know who are anti- one piece who have actually watched it/read it. I think the new studio WIT series will do wonders to fight against the 'it's too long' narrative.

@@PanelFlow I feel the same way. Many people need to stop being jealous about one piece, it's so sad.

agreed! I loved it when I read it.

I understand where you're coming from, but that's not my intention. Didn't mean for it to come off that way. Basically since this was one of my earliest videos, I was like "Ok find big names that people know so you can compare/contrast them", and I think I relied on that a little too heavy in this video in retrospect. I think I would have handled it differently if I had made something similarly now, with maybe one or at max two examples like that. Just what I thought was the best way to convey the message at the time, nothing more. It's also funny to see series that I mentioned in this video & criticized that have spun into something different (Kaiju No. 8), so goes to show that it can start similarly and go in very different directions.

@PanelFlow i think you should try and look at amateur manga/comics that didn't make it. Like that, you have a more rounded understanding. Popular manga usually have less diversity than amateur stuff, simply because these works have to check much more boxes than amateur stuff. There are many things you take for granted when looking at popular manga, and many oddities you simply accept. Reading amateur stuff will give you a more clear lense. But its nice you actually responded sincerely instead of defensively like most creators. Its a good trait to have as a critic. Also you only need 1 or 2 big names to compare and contrast. Youre talking about hooking the viewer and generating interest. That's the perfect test to show a promising unknown manga and watch it work its magic.

@@kenonerboy I appreciate that, I try to take constructive criticism as much as I can and work on it. There have definitely been other comments where I'm like "nah that isn't coming from a place of genuine critique" that I choose not to respond to, but yours was different, so it goes the other way as well. I'll look into your suggestion and see if it works. I'm finally getting off of my ass and making another video after this way too long hiatus, so I'm hoping to get into the swing of things again here soon. I'm just trying to make my editing not look like a slideshow/like shit

@PanelFlow editing is less important than you think. Good ideas and content is where its at. Youre not peddling mrbeast shlop, but actual thoughtful stuff

@@kenonerboy lol thanks. Yea, it's more on a personal level of wanting to get better versus anything artistic. I obviously want the base of anything I put out to be good from an idea/content standpoint, but I just think editing can add that cherry on top.

@@ANIMEJESUS8 sorry to hear that!

@@keepingmypeace7438 I mean you’re asking a guy who only has a little over 2k subs. I’m not exactly popping in Japan haha. In terms of getting in contact with Japan, I’d start with some socials (maybe as a Japanese subreddit). Otherwise you might have closer connections. If you live in/near a city that has a university, there might be a Japanese department where grad students/professors that offer a service like that.

@@PanelFlow Thanks man, I appreciate it!

@@PanelFlow Is there somewhere I can send you the first 3 panels? I’d like your opinion on the flow and such.

@@keepingmypeace7438 to be fair to everyone I try not to take individual requests, or else I can find myself inundated with however many people messaging me asking for feedback. If you enter the competition, that’ll happen again this year. I give pretty detailed reviews from those.

@@PanelFlow alright cool

That’s Berserk!

@@PanelFlow thanks bruh. Great video 👍👍👍

@@jasperbyrd5463 thanks!

I want it raw like Luffy does Nah but it was cooked

Thank you! That means a lot!

Part of me wants that for the clout. The other part of me realizes I’d need to read 1000 entires, I would probably need a team. That would be really sick

Let’s go!! Message me on Twitter or Reddit so we can talk. I have some stuff going on for the holiday but I was going to send some notes out afterwards!

Sure I will message you on Twitter my username is the same user I have here

DALEEEE JUANN SLAYEASTE ERES FAMOSO AHORAAA

@@theflash-lx8pb ajjakakakka más o menos

it will be a one shot do

@@williambalk1189 if you submit it next time, yes!

Ok Thx...So..Just A Link In The Description?@@PanelFlow

Definitely in the playbook. I want to wrap up the comic competition first, then I have another about some more settings/themes, after that I have one gigantic video I’ve been working on in between everything, but down the road I could see more videos about that subject

That’s too bad, I’m sorry to hear that. If you had anything previously made, you can always enter that! Otherwise there’s always next year!

@@PanelFlow Hi, I am in the same predicament, will there be another competition sometime in the future?

@@bubu6021 that’s the plan! It would be an annual thing though.

Would you ever consider reading someone's comic for like editing or proofreading? If so do you have a pay rate? Also very cool that you are doing this.

@@Infernokid15 I don’t have an established pay rate, but down the line I’m sure I would. If the channel gets popular I don’t want to lock myself into doing that for free with however many people reaching out. If I were you, I’d probably just submit it to the competition. Since there is no entry fee or anything, I am reviewing all entries & plan on providing feedback for this. Short answer- you’ll get a free review by submitting, so I’d do that while I am currently free

If only

I hope you can! We have 3 entries so far, we’re officially holding the competition! Hope to see you in it!

@@PanelFlow YES! I can't wait to use my brush after 2 years of searching the perfect one

@@fuiratama excited to see it!

I hope so, too! I still read each new chapter

Do ittttt

Just by name alone, which idea sounds better: Heavenly Blade Exorcist or God's Holy Assassin?

@@jkjkjkjk672 hard to choose! Maybe God’s Holy Assassin.

Thank you so much!

Thank you!

I’m excited to see what you submit!

Yea that’s fine. As long as it’s a comic/graphic novel-esque

​@@PanelFlow Alright will help to pass the word around, I assume it'll be around 60 panels, typical 1-1 manga chapter to webtoon episode by length.

🔥

just shared the contest for more people to see@@PanelFlow

Happy to do so! I'll be on the lookout for when you submit!

No problem with professional artists. I’m talking about people who have been successful comic/manga artists themselves and have been published. If you, for example, we’re a professional painter then that wouldn’t conflict. But if you were the artist for a published comic/manga, then that would be a no go. That is more of my point.

​@@PanelFlow Does that cover self published material like zines and comics you've printed yourself?

@@HazaSpades like just uploaded onto the internet? Or were actually sent to a publishing company, had copies printed, etc? Might be easier if you just show me what you’ve done then I can just let you know if you’re good or not. Feel free to message me on Reddit if you don’t want to link here

Let’s goooo
