Liked the video for how comprehensive it is but unliked because you made that disingenuous Naruto vid

Season one was horrendous

0:26 Haha, I would look at Renge as 2B... ... I went to Google it.

This is impressively made. It really is an eyeopener for what they did in the series.

You make one of the best mangaka analysis videos in anitube.

I wonder whose idea it was to string everyone along in a useless pairing war instead of just making a choice and going with it. Not this constantly "will they won't they" and botch so hard you had to have others make a movie to redo the development only for it to backfire because it undermines the very things that makes Naruto, Naruto. "He doesn't know what love is." Give me a break. MHA didn't have this problem. We all knew. Either you accepted it or you didn't. Twas not a matter of if...only when. "Every fake interview I have found." Which ones? Don't make a claim like that, and then don't elaborate. Some interviews may be fake, but when you have the manga itself have Minato ask Naruto if Sakura was his girlfriend and he says "yeah." You kind of spat in the face of your readers. And this is just the pairings. Red herring, my foot. That makes it even worse if you're telling me you deliberatly fueled the pairings wars for a weak payout where the light novels and movies needs to put in the development you couldn't. I am not even going into the horrible chakra system which can't decide if it works by harry potter logic, alchemist logic, or Dragonball logic. Im sorry, but all this video proved to me was that Kishimoto is not a story teller.

Characters taking a life on their own, thats the mark of a great character

Isayama is a gem. He's the kind of author I aspire to be. F with marketable stories, he's a free man with free will, writing whatever he wants. For someone like us who self-criticizes so hard, our mind is our own limitations. We're being a slave to our inferiority complex. I'm a writer & artist, I understand that feeling sm. Being able to overcome that is so fitting with the AoT main theme: Freedom. Istg when Eren screamed at Grisha to finish the story he has started, I feel like it's Isayama telling himself that. It even affects me personally for always trying to run away from my novel drafts. It's scary sometimes for how relatable AoT is for a lot of ppl 😂 Isayama is a genius!

one of my fav channels rn! really love all the videos you put out, esp ones like these that cover the development behind manga/games. tysm for the awesome videos, always excited to see a new one in my feed :D

Dumbest video I have ever seen. You should be ashamed of yourself

A true example of "A creator will never fully love his own work, not truly"

Hi, I had been a reasonably successful novelist and academic for the early part of the two thousands and with obscure books, academic publishing and generally making enough to help me live was able to get me through really dark times despite having an enormous amount of work by the beginning of my 30s, dozens of novels, hundreds of short stories, and significant financial freedom, but I was never satisfied with anything, and put more work aside out of just not trying to sell it than anything, and though I was financially successful I forced so my self criticism on myself that writing became a way to interact with demons, and it was less of a joy and more of a compulsion. In growing up, you either continue to depend on massive validation from others, from those who love you, or you produce something as an artist that is able to gain wide acclaim. In 2021 I joined a large news channel on TH-cam, and in the process, some time after, a TH-camr made a video about what made our news channel so great while I was the main writer and researcher. In a sense, I was able to write more freely after that. It kinda put a bandaid on my soul. I know exactly, exactly how this guy must feel in the kind of reactions he's seen, the fan feedback being kind to him reminds me of that moment I saw hundreds of people publicly talking kind about me (and this can still be seen in the video comments!). When you put this much effort into a work of art at some point you have an obligation to the story, it demands of you what it shows to be necessary. I think AoT is a rich character story, and it has a lot in common with the best in anime .... I hope his anxiety has chilled out, at the very least, writing can burn you out so much ... Seeing my son grow up also helped my early intellectual angst ... turn into a [hopefully] more appreciative and less dismissive attitude towards everyone around me, and ultimately, more forgiving of myself, though still incapable of seeing past flaws that ... continue to moving me forward, compulsively obsessing about the current projects and how they will be received, when they will be published, if, and the cycle of it all continues. This was a great vid, hope the channel sees much success!

Tomorrow miku was flying, did anyone made profit ?

fantastic video that deserves more views. keep goin'

I’m the chudjack and your the Soyjack guy!

I think the fans are really the ones that made naruto what it is especially the American crowd same with DBZ ❤

Learning more about Isayama made me understand the ending a lot. The dude wanted to hurt his fans.

While I didnt fully enjoy the ending and think there is some issues with it. I spent 10 years of my life following his work and was in awe of it every month and while at times the community could be angry and toxic. We all loved the journey and being there together for every chapter and episode. Silly theories and tons of fanart and memes for the last 2 years was especially enjoyable for me. Isayama gave so much and i love him and his work.

Oda made Naruto. Such a good, chivalrous, blond, smoking obsessed character.

8:38 I don’t know what… What is it referencing?

Disliking the ending to a story is all good and well. Hating something vehemently to the point you proselytize is an illness and should be discouraged.

Is the game and anime basically the same story line?!?! I like to play the game and watch the anime at the same time. I’ve done this with a few games such as beserk

8:04 WE KNOW KISHIMOTO, WE KNOW

Great video, finally some decent yt recommendations. It's interesting to hear the challenges Urasawa faced especially with Monster whose premise is instantly gripping. I never realized the Fugitive connection but it makes perfect sense in retrospect. One of the most "eccentric" things about Urasawa is that he maintains a public persona in contrast to the "cult of anonymity" that's remained so pervasive among mangaka to this day. I really commend him for his work and his openness towards speaking about the industry.

I didn't know this channel, I haven't seen the video yet but I already like it.

You managed to create an incredibly high-quality video because you cross-referenced and intertwined different sources to provide us with an in-depth synthesis of Urasawa's creative process. You truly deserve more recognition for this. I'd love to see you do something similar for Shin'ichi Sakamoto or Inoue.

Me: *thoroughly enjoying the essay* … Me: Is that Professor Layton music?!

10:36 Inspiration for Death Note??🤔

Thank you for this video, to be frank with you I've just been getting into Naoki Urasawa's body of work and this served as a good guide to learn more about him as an artist and his creations I think this is a really nice video, keep up the good work ^_^

Urasawa is a visionary in the way he plans his stories

Mr. Keaton, Yawara, Happy!, Monster, 20th Century Boy, Pluto, Billy Bat, Asadora are my Favorite!

This video was absolutely fascinating... Stories are my passion and learning about the people who write my favourite stories .... own stories, is amazing! And you do all that studying while all we have to do is sit back and watch. you do all that work for us, , so thank you . Brilliant absolutely brilliant.

Great video!

Are you gonna make a video for the second half? these are really fun hope you do

0:23 tell me you're a zoomer without, no hate but that sounds weird, in Rock?

48:35 made me shit my pants

Naoki is like "I have this idea but I do NOT want to draw it" and then Nagasaki rolls up and is like "You sure about that, bitch?"

This is such a well informed, detailed, and in depth analysis of my favorite mangaka Urasawa-san. Thank you so much for this! I haven't read all of his work and had no idea he had so many more. I love that Naoki played by the rules until he saw others break them ; he was such a rebel and pioneer and it was fascinating to see what inspired him for Monster (which i watch semi-annually). I loved that he always stuck by his work and stayed dedicated to his own story. He never sold his soul for mainstream fame. Also love thr clips from Manben talking about his approach to characters and facial expressions is so fascinating. It's inspiring. His characters are so realistic that you feel like they all exist in some world. Anyways, Great video, editing, and format. It was super engaging and can't wait for more.

WE NEED MORE BILLY BAT

This is excellent you have aproached it with a lot of nuance and depth. This is exactly the type of video essays I am always searching for. Thank you

people use the fact that he criticizes himself as a reason to not like the story. Writers, no, PEOPLE who can openly criticize themselves in spite of creating something as great as AoT are the people who will change the world. This guy made my life better with his work, I am eternally grateful to him and many other creators To me, the AoT anime is the best media I have ever seen, I didn’t realize something could be this good until I saw it.

Utterly foul that this doesn’t have more views

This was a great video man, so glad I got it on my feed :))

that's a really good video !! Great timing too since I started 20 Century Boy two days ago :3

It was either 2008 or 9, when I was about 16. I was a big weeb and I tried to read every manga I got my hands on. But I was always a bit of an action oriented goblin, drawn to the shonen way of life. Words cannot describe the impact 20th Century Boys had on me when I found it. I always go out of my way to recommend it to people. It was complete when I found it, and I gobbled it all up in less than a month, and when the movies came out, I watched them too. I'd be lying if I said I remember everything about it, but the premise hit me like a ton of bricks, the back and forth between (at times) 3 or 4 time frames was always masterfully done, a lot of the scenes in the past talked about kids in a way that still felt relatable to me, even though I couldn't have lived a far away enough life from a japanese kid in the 60s. And don't even get me started on some of the panels. Man knows how to draw money shots. I can't believe I haven't checked out his other works yet, but this video really opened up my eyes that I absolutely should
