I gave Witch Hat Atelier, where Coco does her first test, to a friend who never read manga. His eyes widened - he never would have imagined reading manga could be like this
One of the thing I study in animation is that to avoid a break in the "flow" of the action, it is best to be mindful of the "180 degrees rule". Moreover, trying to create an "S" feeling kinda flow will makes the composition more appealing than simply a straight forward one (which can be seen a lot in Witch Hat atelier". Finally, make good used of "negative space" instead of trying to cram too much detail into one frame, since it leaves the eyes of the audience to rest for a while before continuing. It is also good to study film composition too.
Witch Hat Atlier is the first physical manga I’ve bought in over a decade. I read all the current chapters online for free, but I love the story and art style so much.
We often see videos talking about how detailed the linework of a manga page is but not discussing how genius mangakas are in compositing their panels. Watching your video after the Line of Works video about WHA is such a satisfying experience, wish to see more content analyzing manga panels!
Great video. For anyone who wants to dive deeper into this topic, I highly recommend Understanding Comics by Scott McCloud. It's an absolutely genius book that massively elevated my understanding and appreciation for manga/comic storytelling techniques.
I have that book and another of his and honestly it was a bit dry for my tastes. Very wordy with little examples not good for people who are visual learners.
Funny you say that, i actually took a course about graphic novels in high school and the teacher used that book as our textbook. Was pretty damn interesting imo, but i am enough of a nerd to take a class about graphic novels so im kinda biased
It's worth noting that even when Witch Hat Atelier has more "normal" panels, the paneling is still excellent. In this video you mostly point out the standout examples. But, good panelings is needed at all points. Even a mundane dialogue scene can become awkward and weird if the paneling is not good.
A subtle example of paneling in WHA, in my opinion, is seen in the first few pages where Coco runs down the stairs. At first glance, not many people notice this, but the ladders that Coco runs down on after seeing the Pegasus guide us on where to read next and also Coco's direction and movement down the stairs.
@@humourlessjester3584That's very much the definition of not subtle. It's very on the nose and not what I am talking about. My point is that paneling doesn't just mean "cool visual tricks". It encompasses the pacing of the series and affects the timings of action sequences and comedic moments. It guides the viewer. It's the intangible thing that makes the scenes feel coherent and feel like they are taking place in a 3d space. You can achieve that without using cool visual trciks that connect the panels. If you want an example of good paneling without any visual trickery you need only flip 2 pages before that. There is a scene in which Coco is hanging a rag and that gets blown from the wind. In the middle of the page there is a horizontal panel that forces your eyes to go from left to right connecting indirectly the panels that are right before and after it. This is what you would call "subtle" paneling. A good paneling makes for a pleasurable reading experience and it's not just limited to breathtaking moments.
This is awesome. In my opinion, Akira Toriyama ( dragon ball and Dr. Slump) is one of the very best mangaka with Paneling. His panel is setup so smooth that character looks like actually moving in manga.
Absolute banger of a video. Bro how do you keep out doing yourself every video? It feels like the production value goes up! Would love to see your editing process cause god damn it must take you a while. Keep it up, absolutely loved this
This video should have way more views. This is some awesome editing and video. As a viewer the only thing I can say is that pop up titles for the manga when you bring up a new one would be nice. I watch a lot on my phone and screen shot. I'm sure another of others as well. Again this is just super nit-picking for feedback. Overall this was dam good. Must of took forever to edit.
Awdii is my best underrated youtuber , the potential that he has is just Bigger than the Panel TH-cam can give him, He needs a hole split page really . I'm looking forward to the next chapter if you know what I mean Hahaha .
Haven't started at 1:32 , but as someone who's writing a one-shot I can't written the script or the dialogue in my head it's not about that I can see the pictures but I can't word them... Good thing I'm an artist
Fell in love with your editing style since I found you at a few hundred subs, glad to see you getting more recognition! Some of the best quality out here!!
Komowari. It’s the technique they use for “flow” if you check out Osamu Tezukas work, he was a huge cinema buff, but couldn’t make it due to his inexperience. So he started doing comics, where he used his love of cinematography was used. He was very experimental with it.
if you like panneling please i beg you to read ultraheaven, that manga panneling is so good it makes you understand how different drugs feel with just the fucking pannels, please read it, it needs more people talking about it
Looking at the style i think its drcl midnight's children by sakamoto shinichi, but its just based on the art i haven't yet read the manga so can't be 100% sure.
