It's important to note that Shoujo Tsubaki was never banned, just heavily edited or censored. I'm constantly seeing people who say that it was banned in several countries, but that's really inaccurate. It had a complicated production history and it was never released to video or dvd and the manga is long out of print, hence why you can't really find any copies of the manga or the movie. I managed to watch the movie and find scanlations of the manga and it's a pretty jarring story that is a mix of Marquis de Sade and traditional Japanese art styles.
>and the manga is long out of print The funny thing is Shoujo Tsubaki manga(And also Lunatic Lovers) has been released twice in Russia, and the last hard cover edition has been actually issued quite recently(circa 2021). Moreover, this edition also got 2nd printing in 2022 as well, along with the Laughing Vampire vol. 1 first time release here.
I have to give you a huge compliment on your voice recording. Other youtubers can be so robotic and boring, but you are so different. You have so much personality and emotion in your voice and in the way you‘re speaking. Love it.
A passionate but measured voiceover delivered with good cadence and entonation transmitts the message with much clarity in a way that never seems exaggerated nor zombie like.. He does a pretty good job imo. I can think of plenty people with good content I either have to force myself to watch or just give up because of their delivery.
I think ero guro is very morally wrong, since I believe making violance, murder, rape, and treating women like animals/objects is very wrong and these stories shouldn't really exist, but I do find all of this very intresting and I can at least admire someone finding what their intrested in and working on it.
AHHHHHH! MY COMMENT WAS IN THE INTRO! Sorry, but you’re one of my favorite creators and I learned about Maruo from one of your earlier videos. He’s one of my favorite manga artists and what got me into ero-guro
Great video as always! I was actually surprised you were willing to take on something as demonetize-able as Midori but then I remembered you did The Lust of the Dead movies and remembered you are a true fighter! If someone asks what guro is I show them The Love of the Brute (Hitodenashi no Koi) by Hiroaki Samura. And then they never speak to me again.
It's a wonder that I was able to avoid demonetization. There's so much Suehiro art that I wanted to use, but would have absolutely gotten this video blacklisted!
Don't have much interest in your channel outside october, but when it is... BOY O BOY !! You can believe I'm gonna drop everything just to watch your content
took me forever to get a copy of Panorama Island (Amazon didn't help because they kept losing the blasted thing!). When I finally did I was really awestruck with the art! It is a very lovely and distinct style I don't think just anyone can replicate! I wish there were more english translated books out. I would love to own a copy of The Laughing Vampire
Have you watched Yakuza Apocalypse? It's a Japanese vampire movie. I wondered if it was any good. The first image of it on IMDb is a guy in a frog costume.
Actually I think you could probably consider most entries in the Guinea Pig series as Ero-Guro, especially the first two. They're definitely on the more extreme end of guro rather than ero, and to be honest the early ones are more interesting for the controversy around them rather than their actual contents.
the shoujo tsubaki movie is worse imo, i think i only got to the part where the amputee fucking burns to death? i dont remember but i know he either died or was severely injured by like, an explosion or a gun shot, idfk, just dont watch it theres a scene where puppies die its- its shockmedia at its finest

With a dash of German Expressionism for good measure. The film is very dark, but oh my god, is it powerful as hell.
It had a French dvd release that included English subs
THANK YOU!! I've noticed that aswell!! Censored does not equal banned

It was never banned, but the uncensored cut was lost for years before it was released on Blu-ray
Ppl into guro genuinely boggle my mind

Thanks! I was criticized for sound too robotic when I first started uploading, so it's good to know I've gotten marginally better!

Very underrated video, forgot to say that before. Has great editing for such a underwatched video. Really enjoyed it.
I found a sweater with Suehiro's name on it, but junji Ito pictures under his name. I bought it instantly.

Suehiro Maruo,Hideshi Hino,junji ito,Kazuo Umezu and Kanako Inuki=the big five of horror manga
Wait who's the last one?
AHHHHHH! MY COMMENT WAS IN THE INTRO!
Sorry, but you’re one of my favorite creators and I learned about Maruo from one of your earlier videos. He’s one of my favorite manga artists and what got me into ero-guro
Cool very cool.
Thatnk you for the great objective review ❤

Samura is a beast

My favorite Suehiro Maruo manga is Paranoia Star. The art in that is just GOAT!
Yep! Is pretty awesome and I think is early works are really good but overlooked
Also great vid can't wait till next week will need to check this guys stuff out
Don't have much interest in your channel outside october, but when it is... BOY O BOY !! You can believe I'm gonna drop everything just to watch your content
To be fair, I also don't upload much outside of October
Silver Case, SMT 2, and Persona 2 (I think) tracks in one video? nice
Cool informative video. You deserve way more subs.
Ay yo I went to watch Horrors of Malformed Men right after this, was pretty bonkers, very much enjoyed
LETS GOOOO!!! IM EXCITED FOR J-HORROR Month 2021🎃🎃

Was that Maruo's take on Mishima as St. Sebastian near the end of the video? Neat!
2:00 love those Teruo Ishii torture cycle films
love ur work as always
Japan and their….Interesting stuff
i will finally have to check his work out now!
Great video!!! have you seen pastoral to die in the country by Shūji Terayama?? feels like Suehiro Maruo must been influenced buy the visual style.
Have you watched Yakuza Apocalypse? It's a Japanese vampire movie. I wondered if it was any good. The first image of it on IMDb is a guy in a frog costume.
M-Morty ! Y-yd you'd gotta drink dat sweet... Sweet tasty Blood...! That's really good ! Common ! Open your damn mouth !
reminds me of a video on bruneo stray dog
Where can I read the The laughing vampire?
So would stuff like guinea pig be considered eruo guro.
No, because it is live action.
Actually I think you could probably consider most entries in the Guinea Pig series as Ero-Guro, especially the first two.
They're definitely on the more extreme end of guro rather than ero, and to be honest the early ones are more interesting for the controversy around them rather than their actual contents.
Yeah I have seen a bit of the first one and it is was very boring drop it half way.
I’m sorry, you misspelled Shintaro Kago in the title…
I feel Shintarou Kago is more of the king but.. I won't be picky
😮😮
Panorama is sold out, does anyone know where can I read it online? I can't find it.
You can find it in most of the usual free manga sources just make sure to check you have adult content enabled in your settings
Manga dex has pretty good scans
That's not Shintaro Kago. Also nice SMT2 Disco theme
EVERY IS DANCING FURIOUSLY
I want to be like you when i grow up
the shoujo tsubaki movie is worse imo, i think i only got to the part where the amputee fucking burns to death? i dont remember but i know he either died or was severely injured by like, an explosion or a gun shot, idfk, just dont watch it theres a scene where puppies die its- its shockmedia at its finest
