"There weren’t any prep schools near me, so I went to an art class with a lot of old people, where I did oil paintings in the corner. There were good artists there, so I decided that if I didn’t get better than them in four years I would kill them, and since I didn’t want to go on the run if I was a good artist, I just kept drawing." - Tatsuki FujiGOATo
To me not just Look Back but Goodbye Eri too feels like Fujimoto writing about himself. While Look Back introspects on the pursuit of art itself and is a way for the artist to come to terms with the pursuit of art in times of tragedy & grief. Goodbye Eri disects his own writing style and the way in which he deals with tragedy. The need for shock, the need for catharsis, the need for distance from reality in fiction all materialized through the iconic explosions that have been termed "Fujimoto Explosions" from which his protagonists walk away unscathed.
Look back made me start drawing manga. And this year I got my first publishing gig. Honestly making stories/art is the only way I can cut through the noise so I think that’s what keeps me going.
Yes exactly. This is what made me want to continue improving as well. I do love stories as well. So I write them and draw them to the best of my ability at the moment.
I had a childhood friend and we were literally art buddies until I moved abroad. I stayed in high school but due to anxiety, she stopped attending and focused on an art career instead. When I saw this movie IM TELLING YOU!!
I think a lot of art and creating is rooted in the human desire for connection. Connecting with your thoughts, your feelings as well as connecting with others. Being creatively inclined is often incredibly lonely. Art is a skill, and skills are meant for finding success and making money. Yet, artists see life, the world and humans with such depth of emotion that a lot of people are not able to interact comfortably with it unless its exploited, critically praised or digestible to this majority audience. Why do you draw? Why aren't you selling this? Who is this for? What does this mean? Kids are natural artists and storytellers. Yet we are so quick to make them have to defend themselves. A lot of them stop because of this pressure. I fell in love with manga when I was twelve because the stories and characters and emotions resonated with a little kid who was bad at expressing themselves. I connected with it, which helped me connect with friends, because of that I have a talent that I've nurtured for decades. My skills aren't commercially used, and I'm okay with that. I never sought to become the type of artist that had an audience. I draw and write because I wanted so desperately to be seen, I draw and write because I wanted others to know that I see them, too. It's a way of making life a little less lonely. At the end of the day, I think a lot of mangaka sit through such a grueling and difficult industry because of the knowledge that there are kids and people who see what they make, love it, and maybe will make something of their own one day. I will never forget seeing Horikoshi's fanart in the One Piece fan corner, and how a decade later, Oda is saying congratulations for the first volume of My Hero Academia. Horikoshi is one of thousands of kids who marked One Piece as an inspiration, and most of those kids will never be known, but does it matter? Does it matter when in fifteen years time, a new story will emerge that notes My Hero Academia for this honor? Art is a community garden reminding us of the work it takes to live a good life.
I spiraled through the last few weeks with the thought of why do I draw and for what purpose if no one will ever see it. Look back and then this video definitely gave me an answer to this. Thank you for this video.
I started a new piece for school today and I decided to make something that I care about made purely out of passion, it has nothing to do with my other pieces and this manga was the reason I rethought the reason I even make art in the first place. I hope everyone who makes art and believes they have a passion for it reads this work it’s so beautiful
Something I realised is how the reason we create comes down to our ties with human relations and connections. Look back has to be one of my favourite works from Fujimoto. I found that creativty and self expression can fuel fulfillment but cause burdens too. As we move through the different stages of life, maybe art, our creative abilities and works display how art connects people through even through intangible ways. Through creation I found that we can bridge the gaps between the creator and the collective, and showcase our creations to another to develop deeper connections with each other. I'll probably never forget about Fujino and Kyomoto's story ever.
For me, art is trying to capture life. Drawing is capturing your imagination. Photography is capturing reality. Writing is capturing your thoughts. This is what I dedicate a big chunk of my time to and it makes me a lot happier ❤ Love your videos a lot, thank you for your dedication and skill!
Hi there beyond media, I'm an artist, 16 years old right now and I was working on a piece, listening to this video, wondering this very question. I go to an art school and everyone around me inspires me and provokes a feeling of jealousy in me at the same time. I doubt my skill, for it isn't as impressive as the ones of my peers but you reminded me why I do what I love and I want to thank you for that. I actually cried a little, thank you for making this video, it was the exact words and reasurrence I needed to be engraved into my heart.
Between watching/reading Look Back and revisiting Porter Robinson's "Nurture" and the meaning in it's music, it's really made me reevaluate myself as an artist and why I do the things I do. Both of these have become extremely important works to me, and have made me want to move forward as a creator. They have also both left me crying constantly, so I'm growing to accept that as the norm lol
the last few sentences really hit me hard as 13year old artist who has been told, im a great then most people my age. "why do you draw?" i havent found out yet and i wish to do so. watching this video still gives me hope i can become better then i am now. countless people have asked me, "how are you so good?" ive always answered because i draw, but that really isnt it. and, i want to know myself even better.
22:46 “Why do you create?” That’s… wow I didn’t think you’d ask the viewer that. I… I create because… I create because stories inspire me, they make me feel alive. I’m passionate on what I love to make. Films, videos, acting, art, songs, cosplays, written stories… all of it. I create because I love it. That’s it. Because I love art… Art saved me as a little kid. And art has kept me alive. I can’t imagine a world where I don’t love art. Thank you for making me cry
How does this video have less than 1k views? This was one of the most well written, beautiful, inspiring videos I’ve ever witnessed on this platform. When I was younger I used to write stories with friends, creating characters and allowing them to interact where we put them through hardships and let them feel love and hate and anguish and spite. As time has gone on, most of them have moved on from this but I still feel the passion deep within me every day. I started a DND campaign with some other friends recently to get that drive back, but it’s not the same. I want to write a full story based on those old stories our group used to create, even if only for myself. I never acted on it because of the stress of school, work, etc. but I feel so heavily impacted by this video. Only I can take that step and create that story. Only I can share the kind of love that I feel for creating these stories. No one may ever see it, but I think I’m going to start on writing a full narrative like I’ve always wanted to. This was a gorgeous video. Thank you for making this. You are truly a talented TH-camr, and I can’t wait to see what else you put out.
@@pewpewpew_4206 Good luck writing!! I’ve been a novelist for 7 years now and the enjoyment of crafting a story with my own hands is one of the best feeling ever to this day. Thanks so much for watching and I’m glad you enjoyed!! Best of luck on your endeavors, and keep me posted!!
I relate to what you revealed about your insecuritues about your ideas and skills in writing. I also want to write I haven't been able to complete any of my ideas, cause I struggle with the same type of thoughts. When I was young I decided I wanted to tell my story, and tell as many stories as I could to make sure others don't feel alone the way I did. I wish you the best and I hope you create something you're truly proud of.
This really was an amazing video, with a great examination. And my goodness that ending was amazing! The way you were so unapologetically hopeful with the ending segment is so needed in this world.
I can relate with Fujimoto sensei, there are so much to be inspired by in life. I constantly feel that I am not good enough, yet I enjoy telling stories since I had no friends and can't communicate well. Yet again I am constantly trying to catch up with, and time is not a friend. But being a mangaka is a really challenging and unforgiving profession.
i can’t remember the last time i cried to a youtube video, like i did with this one. i’ve seen so many creative people in my life let that passion within them die out and it’s heartbreaking. for what it’s worth i listened to their stories, i was their audience, and i applauded them.
Thats so kind of you. Everyone who's read what I've written or enjoyed what I made has always been a huge blessing to me. Im positive you had a great impact on them!!
i love the final monologue/message to this video. yes, there's never been anyone in the history of man like you in this very moment capable of doing specifically what YOU can do
I do not even know the reason I create. I do not know anything about myself. I probably create because I like the feeling of drawing itself. The pen against the paper.
I thought this was going to be a chill video I could watch while eating cereal. But I’m gonna have to take a pause to prevent crying into it while trying to eat. The recap and your storytelling are both amazing.🥲
I've never really given the question of 'Why do you create?' any thought, and I honestly don't really know why I create, it's just something I do without thinking. Either that, or it's the one skill I've put enough time and effort into that pushes me to continue, even though it can be bothersome to do something as simple as picking up a pen. Another reason as to why I create could be that I just want to make others feel something when looking at what I've made. Maybe they get a chuckle when I make something silly and dumb, perhaps they feel amazed when I show them something that I put a lot of time into. That could very well be a reason why I create, because knowing that something I made made people feel something, makes me want to continue to do the things I do.
I really appreciated the last segment dedicated to the viewer inspiring them to create. I think some part of me starts writhing when I see other people's great art. Of course, I love the media that inspires me. It sparks my own passion to create, knowing that someone else, just like me, was able to make something so incredible. But sometimes that fire starts to bite my skin when I think too long about it. Like, what am I doing here? Doing nothing, not making anything of value like I want to? Why am I not making the kind of art I see others putting out one after the other? But I guess dwelling on that isn't the point. I had the recent revelation that great artists are not great because they do exactly the same as their peers, but rather, great artists are great because they let their own unique style and story shine through their own art. Doing it in a way nobody else does. I guess that's me too, and I guess even if it's just my friends who end up seeing what I make, it's still worth it to give my story the space it needs to shine through my own work. I shouldn't give up because I feel like I'm falling behind, after all, I have the rest of my life to spend. There is always time. Might as well spend it doing what I love.
because I wanna rid myself of my godforsaken depression and the insecurity I feel every single moment I need speak to someone.... I really cant bring myself to not think that people see me as a piece of garbage. thank you
I dunno about depression as i have never had it, but i almost always feel empty. I dunno if this will help u or not, but trying doing something that u would never do normally. Could be anything- art, love, kink, hate, anger, anything. Something will click, trust me. Just dont do anything too bad
the ending was incredible to a degree I can’t describe in words. This video reminded me of that excitement and passion by being inspired. Thank you for making this video and I look forward to seeing what you do next! 🌱
(22:44 - 24:15) You do not know how much I needed to hear that. I’ve been struggling with procrastination for years, and I’ve always wondered why I started drawing to begin with. Was it because I wanted attention? Was it because I wanted to? Was it because if I didn’t draw, I wouldn’t have any value on this earth? I’ve had multiple times where I just wanted to draw, but I just physically couldn’t bring myself to. I want to make something like Look Back one day, sharing my genuine and raw emotions within the script and my experience with things other people may have never understood or even heard of. I want to be seen and heard with my art, I want to have a community, I want to inspire other people and I want to make people happy. I just want to say, thank you for making this video.
You didn't even know how your video made my day just by giving that little tingle in my brain that make my creativity on again and i can't not believe myself that i never thinked about that why in Art stuff: "Art dosen't have value beacuse of how many people see it. But beacause of how many people couldn't have created what you can. And everything you can do, is completely, and wholly unique...that whole ending just made want to start already comic i always wanted to make even if it will be simple and not spoted by many people even if i am still don't think i have capebility to draw in same way i want it to make...you just reminded me why i even started drawing.
Now I just wish, I could actually create something and not just fantasize about creativity, passion and stories. I have no skill in any way, but there are so many ways to express one self, if I would just actually start working. I feel like Werther from Goethes famous book. Still a beautiful video, it really makes you think
I create, because i feel like doing it. There does not have to be a logical reason of why i am starting a project. It just has to inspire me, to add my own share. Something i want to bring to the table. Maybe not for publics. Maybe not with the intention to gain money from it. But for the sake of self satisfaction. And for self enjoyment.
I think inspiration is important to him, but the fact that he draws just for the experience and because of the memories he shares with others too just as fujino does. In an interview, fujimoto says that he used to look into the past with anger but he started to think of the joy he had when he would draw when he was tired, sad, happy, and the fun he had with others. He draws for that reason in my opinion.
@@thatoneundertalefanatic fujimoto says the same thing, most artists feel that way cause the process is a lot of work. but there's a reason they still do it. (the connections and friendships, drawing to process any emotion)
I'm surprised this video didn't have that many views tbh!! The writing in this is so good, And the ending part inspired me and made me excited to start creating a story! As for me.. I got inspired by a lot of stuff like comics, manga, movies, anime, and also the people who i share connections with! I made a lot of OCs/Characters that are based on my friends, to me that's just another way of me appreciating them, and i want their souls to live forever just as the saying "if you were beloved by an artist, then you will live forever in their works", making memories with other people and connecting with them made me realize i wanna create something, i want to make the people feels the same emotions that i have with them, i want to show people's beautiful souls within my art. I think that's what i want to talk about, also I'm very sorry if my English is terrible, but hey i hope you get what i meant! Have a good day! This is a really underrated video tbh, and watching it makes me want to watch your other videos!
I started making art because I was told I was talented growing up, then it turned into an escape from reality. My situation is so bad that I can no longer escape from reality, but I also go to the point where I no longer wanted to escape and faced the fact that I needed to face all the hardships in my life head on. I did that, I'm still doing that, and I'm severely burnt out and barely have the space to make art, but I still do, and not because I want too. I have been struggling with the question of should I even make art. I never wanted to in the first place, it was forced on me by other people, so if it wasn't forced on me, would I still be creating? If I never needed to escape and I had an easier life, would I still do it? I will never know. All I do know is, no matter how badly I have wanted to quit, I never could. I would tell myself I won't make art today, no matter what, and then I find myself painting for 4+ hours. There's a part of me deep down I can't recognize that won't let me stop, and hopefully its a healthy push, because I have to just give in at times or it eats me alive trying to fight it. I don't want to make art, I MUST. I want to say I hate it, but part of me doesn't. But part of me 100% does.
I draw because I like creating, the pure feeling of knowing something exists because I merely will it to is magical. Not to mention being able to connect with others with your craft. One day I want to have a Manga/Comic finished and created, I want people to feel as inspired by what I create like how many others inspire me AUGGHHH I love being a creative, it always feels so rewarding
I'm so inspired by the end As much as I want to read Fire Punch now, I want to create my own works of art even though its a hobby. The reason for creating for me is because I want to live my imagination - even if its for a half an hour whenever I get into my own world. Please keep making videos. I LOVE this content!!
For a manga and manhwa reader, i sometikes get lost. I sometimes think like a story in real life. And sometimes i think of the things i read as being real
this remind me of my friend who is good at arts. at highschool. he is so good with drawing. i wanna be like him but im no good even if im trying. i miss him.
For me I draw simply because it's the one thing i enjoy the most. I love feeling inspired and making stuff. However, i am a really shit writer. I don't really have any story in me to tell. There is a lot of demand/pressure that if you are an artist you also have to be somewhat of a writer and tell a story, or at least I felt that pressure on myself, and I find it hard to find someone to draw for. I often feel like I am lesser, or a failed artist because of that.
I think pure artists are some of the most beautiful creators ever. I’ve been a sole writer my whole life and I know a ton of amazing painters or otherwise who’ve never written but make some of the most fantastic work. You’re not a lesser artist just cause you didn’t make a story. Everything you make has meaning. And thats enough, I think.
@@BeyondMediaAnalysis1 Thank you for making the time to reply to my comment, and to do so sincerely! I had to take a moment to have a proper good cry, because I really needed this.
sometime i create to remember my human tropes lol. in the scheme of everything happening around us. i do think creating art and living in todays world is kind of goten hard thus giving us more and more depressing arts than ever. it makes me sad.
Fujimoto literally split himself into two cute anime girls and he's such a king for that
I read spit and it made no sense
"There weren’t any prep schools near me, so I went to an art class with a lot of old people, where I did oil paintings in the corner. There were good artists there, so I decided that if I didn’t get better than them in four years I would kill them, and since I didn’t want to go on the run if I was a good artist, I just kept drawing." - Tatsuki FujiGOATo

Did he really say that? And really thought that? Tf is wrong with him for f sake
@@yaraalasiri4623 I think it's a just a hyperbole

To me not just Look Back but Goodbye Eri too feels like Fujimoto writing about himself. While Look Back introspects on the pursuit of art itself and is a way for the artist to come to terms with the pursuit of art in times of tragedy & grief. Goodbye Eri disects his own writing style and the way in which he deals with tragedy. The need for shock, the need for catharsis, the need for distance from reality in fiction all materialized through the iconic explosions that have been termed "Fujimoto Explosions" from which his protagonists walk away unscathed.
“Then why do you draw, Fujino?”
That line hit really hard, especially hearing it in Kyoumoto’s innocent voice along with her rural accent…
Look back made me start drawing manga. And this year I got my first publishing gig. Honestly making stories/art is the only way I can cut through the noise so I think that’s what keeps me going.
Where did you get it published?
@@sweetnsour3693 it’s coming out very soon but I’ll be doing a digital only pub with VIZ
Yes exactly. This is what made me want to continue improving as well.
I do love stories as well. So I write them and draw them to the best of my ability at the moment.

I really appreciated the last segment dedicated to the viewer inspiring them to create. I think some part of me starts writhing when I see other people's great art. Of course, I love the media that inspires me. It sparks my own passion to create, knowing that someone else, just like me, was able to make something so incredible. But sometimes that fire starts to bite my skin when I think too long about it. Like, what am I doing here? Doing nothing, not making anything of value like I want to? Why am I not making the kind of art I see others putting out one after the other? But I guess dwelling on that isn't the point. I had the recent revelation that great artists are not great because they do exactly the same as their peers, but rather, great artists are great because they let their own unique style and story shine through their own art. Doing it in a way nobody else does. I guess that's me too, and I guess even if it's just my friends who end up seeing what I make, it's still worth it to give my story the space it needs to shine through my own work. I shouldn't give up because I feel like I'm falling behind, after all, I have the rest of my life to spend. There is always time. Might as well spend it doing what I love.
because I wanna rid myself of my godforsaken depression and the insecurity I feel every single moment I need speak to someone.... I really cant bring myself to not think that people see me as a piece of garbage. thank you
You're not alone.
I dunno about depression as i have never had it, but i almost always feel empty. I dunno if this will help u or not, but trying doing something that u would never do normally. Could be anything- art, love, kink, hate, anger, anything. Something will click, trust me. Just dont do anything too bad
the ending was incredible to a degree I can’t describe in words. This video reminded me of that excitement and passion by being inspired. Thank you for making this video and I look forward to seeing what you do next! 🌱
Thanks so much!!
shit made me damn near cry at the end, thank you
Thank you for what you said at the end. I needed that 😊
22:43 - 24:15 (felt alive, goosebumps)
Watched this yesterday... It was so good 😭😭 (perfect timing btw)
It was absolute cinema man. So fire
(22:44 - 24:15)
You do not know how much I needed to hear that.
I’ve been struggling with procrastination for years, and I’ve always wondered why I started drawing to begin with.
Was it because I wanted attention? Was it because I wanted to? Was it because if I didn’t draw, I wouldn’t have any value on this earth?
I’ve had multiple times where I just wanted to draw, but I just physically couldn’t bring myself to.
I want to make something like Look Back one day, sharing my genuine and raw emotions within the script and my experience with things other people may have never understood or even heard of.
I want to be seen and heard with my art, I want to have a community, I want to inspire other people and I want to make people happy.
I just want to say, thank you for making this video.
Awesome to hear it helped!! Thanks for watching!
Amazing video, well executed and enjoyable
@@webs4447 AWESOME!! love to hear that. Thank you so much for sharing!!
You didn't even know how your video made my day just by giving that little tingle in my brain that make my creativity on again and i can't not believe myself that i never thinked about that why in Art stuff: "Art dosen't have value beacuse of how many people see it. But beacause of how many people couldn't have created what you can. And everything you can do, is completely, and wholly unique...that whole ending just made want to start already comic i always wanted to make even if it will be simple and not spoted by many people even if i am still don't think i have capebility to draw in same way i want it to make...you just reminded me why i even started drawing.
LETS GOOOO! Good luck on the comic! Give me updates!
The end made me cry a bit, now I have a reason to start making that 'manhua' I've been dreaming about
Do it!!
@@BeyondMediaAnalysis1 thank you! You are the third person that encouraged me today:)
Now I just wish, I could actually create something and not just fantasize about creativity, passion and stories. I have no skill in any way, but there are so many ways to express one self, if I would just actually start working. I feel like Werther from Goethes famous book.
Still a beautiful video, it really makes you think
I create, because i feel like doing it. There does not have to be a logical reason of why i am starting a project. It just has to inspire me, to add my own share. Something i want to bring to the table. Maybe not for publics. Maybe not with the intention to gain money from it. But for the sake of self satisfaction. And for self enjoyment.
I think inspiration is important to him, but the fact that he draws just for the experience and because of the memories he shares with others too just as fujino does. In an interview, fujimoto says that he used to look into the past with anger but he started to think of the joy he had when he would draw when he was tired, sad, happy, and the fun he had with others. He draws for that reason in my opinion.
Doesn't Fujino end up saying she didn't even enjoy making manga?
@@thatoneundertalefanatic fujimoto says the same thing, most artists feel that way cause the process is a lot of work. but there's a reason they still do it. (the connections and friendships, drawing to process any emotion)
I'm surprised this video didn't have that many views tbh!! The writing in this is so good, And the ending part inspired me and made me excited to start creating a story!
As for me..
I got inspired by a lot of stuff like comics, manga, movies, anime, and also the people who i share connections with! I made a lot of OCs/Characters that are based on my friends, to me that's just another way of me appreciating them, and i want their souls to live forever just as the saying "if you were beloved by an artist, then you will live forever in their works", making memories with other people and connecting with them made me realize i wanna create something, i want to make the people feels the same emotions that i have with them, i want to show people's beautiful souls within my art.
I think that's what i want to talk about, also I'm very sorry if my English is terrible, but hey i hope you get what i meant! Have a good day!
This is a really underrated video tbh, and watching it makes me want to watch your other videos!
Absolutely beautiful!! And yes! Having connections with characters is amazing, and I’m so happy to hear of you starting a story. Keep me posted!!
@@BeyondMediaAnalysis1 I'm still trying to figure things out atm tho TwT
But yeah, thank you so much!
I've seen two people who talked like fire punch the same way.
0:02 say what you want about yosuga no sora, but the ost is goated
this video was amazing! the ending was absolute perfection and is exactly what i needed to hear. Thank you for such a great video!
Thank you!!
i love this video
I started making art because I was told I was talented growing up, then it turned into an escape from reality. My situation is so bad that I can no longer escape from reality, but I also go to the point where I no longer wanted to escape and faced the fact that I needed to face all the hardships in my life head on. I did that, I'm still doing that, and I'm severely burnt out and barely have the space to make art, but I still do, and not because I want too. I have been struggling with the question of should I even make art. I never wanted to in the first place, it was forced on me by other people, so if it wasn't forced on me, would I still be creating? If I never needed to escape and I had an easier life, would I still do it? I will never know. All I do know is, no matter how badly I have wanted to quit, I never could. I would tell myself I won't make art today, no matter what, and then I find myself painting for 4+ hours. There's a part of me deep down I can't recognize that won't let me stop, and hopefully its a healthy push, because I have to just give in at times or it eats me alive trying to fight it. I don't want to make art, I MUST. I want to say I hate it, but part of me doesn't. But part of me 100% does.
I draw because I like creating, the pure feeling of knowing something exists because I merely will it to is magical. Not to mention being able to connect with others with your craft. One day I want to have a Manga/Comic finished and created, I want people to feel as inspired by what I create like how many others inspire me
AUGGHHH I love being a creative, it always feels so rewarding
Clannad music in the background
Me: instant like 👍
I'm so inspired by the end
As much as I want to read Fire Punch now, I want to create my own works of art even though its a hobby.
The reason for creating for me is because I want to live my imagination - even if its for a half an hour whenever I get into my own world.
Please keep making videos. I LOVE this content!!
okay your video is ACTUALLY INSANE
Y'all aint ready for Goodbye Eri if y'all think this was his best
Beautiful, my friend. Thank you for such an inspiring vid.
thank you, it's really inspiring
For a manga and manhwa reader, i sometikes get lost. I sometimes think like a story in real life. And sometimes i think of the things i read as being real
thank you for this analysis and for introducing us to the show/story T^T was really good to watch as a creative
this remind me of my friend who is good at arts. at highschool. he is so good with drawing. i wanna be like him but im no good even if im trying. i miss him.
Great. Truly.
This was an incredible video
this is genuially a good video, like really good. Inspiring. Damn
I stopped drawing because of fear of failure. I don't know how to go back to it.
Who decides if you failed or not?
wow incredible video 🔥
For me I draw simply because it's the one thing i enjoy the most. I love feeling inspired and making stuff.
However, i am a really shit writer. I don't really have any story in me to tell. There is a lot of demand/pressure that if you are an artist you also have to be somewhat of a writer and tell a story, or at least I felt that pressure on myself, and I find it hard to find someone to draw for. I often feel like I am lesser, or a failed artist because of that.
I think pure artists are some of the most beautiful creators ever. I’ve been a sole writer my whole life and I know a ton of amazing painters or otherwise who’ve never written but make some of the most fantastic work. You’re not a lesser artist just cause you didn’t make a story. Everything you make has meaning. And thats enough, I think.
@@BeyondMediaAnalysis1 Thank you for making the time to reply to my comment, and to do so sincerely! I had to take a moment to have a proper good cry, because I really needed this.
Wow! Just wow! I am so proud of you guys!!! 💙💙
I ain’t gunna lie the anime looks soulless but the manga is amazing !
what anime looks soulless?
23:48 Okay shut up and take my like already ❤😭
I am about to watch Look Back on my birthday later i am super excited!!!
Happy Birthday!! I hope you enjoy it!
@@BeyondMediaAnalysis1 Thank you
I create to express myself it was my escape
I create because i'm not good at anything else, if my art is not good enough, I am nothing.
Peak fiction
I make music. Its what I do, but why do i create this art. I.. don't know it feels like its all around my brain but never an answer i can grasp.
Thank you
Just realised he doesn’t have windows
great video
awesome video man
5:54 the manga panel in the book looked like the one from chainsaw man
The activate windows took me out,amazing video tho
sometime i create to remember my human tropes lol. in the scheme of everything happening around us. i do think creating art and living in todays world is kind of goten hard thus giving us more and more depressing arts than ever. it makes me sad.
activate windows
Uhh...anyone else get distracted by the "ACTIVATE WINDOWS" in the lower right corner? Lol
The reason I draw is because I want to create something really nice and things that can make people smile! ❤
Incredibly well thought out video, hope you can buy windows soon.
People who draw piss me off and then they don't appreciate their work we never love our own work no matter it's weird
I make music and really needed to hear this 💯💯
The video is great, really good and calm story but there is one thing: "activate windows"
very good video
Buitifall video
Yes
Made a banger video so he afford to buy windows.
You left me a sobbing mess
