Believe me or not, but you're exactly the type of person that I'm aspiring to be right now. An intellectual, secure (with yourself as well as your career), thoughtful, extremely well-articulated person who's just oozing self confidence in his words and opinions while also totally not being afraid to show passion and love for something that would otherwise be "embarassing" to other people living in a country like India. I've been following you since 2 years and boy, am I so glad that you're finally getting recognition. The way you speak and the THINGS you speak are so entertaining. Like, the moment you drop videos, I immediately leave all my work and watch you and that says something, considering you don't even rely much on the editing side of your videos, just pure script Off topic, but to all the people who're saying that virgins are losers in their life. Mind YOU, there's a right time and age for everything and not everyone's heart is in that place. Some people are more career oriented and don't even think about love or romance once. Ik a lot of people who are like that and they're NOT heartless or losers. They just want to get a little bit of success and validation in their careers first, get settled and THEN move forward to their love life or whatever they wanna do next. Anyway, happy belated birthday friend, and I sincerely hope that you achieve all your milestones in the upcoming years. 🍻
It’s good that he is informing the community about how hard animation is. Too many people are spoiled and call everything MID and overhyped etc. also 23 isn’t old and it’s harder today since even if prior gen’s thing current meta is slutty well stats say were in the most prude gen ever. So current meta many are 30-40 getting married and using apps to date. Don’t be hard on self. Most hate people without any passion vs dorky. Ever talk to someone who has no interest, but watching sports they can be just as boring. People who only like to talk about the cool stuff. Plus animation is popular. Pg13 films are less violent and deep than some anime for kids. Like demon slayer is R rated in US lol
It´s almost obvious to say this, but the only reason why I´m watching YOUR videos about anime/animation is BECAUSE you´re so passionate about it. So yeah, you´re totally right to not be ashamed by being passionate about something you truly love, and since art in general has been and IS a big part of my life as well, I immediately related to your content even though I don´t know SHIT about animation and the anime industry. And since I´m a typical nerd (profound knowledge of any kind equals excitement and joy), learning about one of the things I love the most through your videos has been an incredible experience. Thank you for your videos and keep it up at a healthy pace! I´ll be here!
Massive amount of respect on the transparency about dating. Not because I'm interested in knowing about it, I genuinely couldn't care less about any content creators love life, but because you don't owe us viewers ANYTHING regarding that yet you still chose to be entirely open about it. In a matter a lot of people often even resort to lying to cover up their insecurity nonetheless, so mad respect for that! I'm btw in a similar boat and I agree with everything you said about letting your passion take priority. Now I'm not a virgin and I've been in relationships, but I'm a 33 year old male who haven't dated anyone or even had sex in like 7 years now and a lot of friends and family constantly act like I'm crazy for barely having an interest about it. I just really REALLY prefer living by myself, letting my hobbies and passion guide my everyday life and as long as it makes me happy, which it does, there's nothing in the World I would trade for it, at least not for the time being. Big fan of your work and videos, keep it up! 👋
You seem like such a kindred spirit. I'm coming up on 27 next year and share a lot of your sentiments, if I can't be happy on my own, I won't be good company to a potential partner that I have things in common with. Vinland Saga S2 was absolutely phenomenal and it impacted my life even more than season 1 did. I'm at my happiest when I'm priviliged to witness artistic masterpieces like the ones you cover on your channel. Anyway I hope you stay healthy and find a good balance between your passion and income I'm still figuring that part out myself (no idea about money either haha) Have a good one ✌
@@-MankoMan for me bro I'll be 23 in March and I'm also still a virgin and I was once conflicted on if I should experience a woman first before going years on this journey called semen retention(no sex,no masterbating) cuz I'm from the hood were virginity in your 20's is a tabo until I truly understood how strong I can become as a young man💯
I found this channel right around when you were doing the chainsaw man animation breakdowns and this is honestly my favorite channel, the one channel where every video I must pay attention to and not just have it play in the background, consistently making quality content and the passion for your work is easily noticeable, keep it up manko!
Happy birthday! It's good that you seem to have a more positive outlook on life and yourself now, happy to hear that. Funnily enough, that's the case for me as well, in my case it was just living without my parents in a flat now and realizing I can actually manage by myself, which I didn't really thought I could. So yeah, happy to hear you're doing better, having a job you don't like sucks but I hope you will have time to devote to what you actually love, at least to a decent degree. The community posts have been good too now that you mention them, I don't always comment on them but I like reading your thoughts on the eps (whether I agree or disagree). And it's much less time required for you, so that's a huge plus.
Love this channel so much, you rarely find anything that is actually of quality and real understanding of a subject. So I'm so glad to find someone like this especially in such a shitshow of a subject like animation and anime specifically.
one of the only youtubers who make videos I always watch till the end. Of course your contents great but your personality and passion for what you do is what makes you stand out for me
Today I am a 23 year old virgin living in Tunisia. I have been following your channel for a while now and it's has my gateway into the art of animation and high level appreciation for anime visuals and art in general, something that completely changed my life and I am very grateful for your videos. Thank you for all those videos and effort to educate people on this topic, I really want to meet and have discussions with people like yourself, also all of the points in this video apply to me ( except for getting asked out and having a channel). Thank you Mankoman, hope you and all the people making these art works are doing well
Been with you since the start of the year and I can’t thank you enough. You’ve single handedly increased my appreciation for the people BEHIND THE THINGS I LOVE!! It’s crazy to think about how overshadowed and undervalued the staff members on these shows are. You’re doing great work and I hope more people interested in animation find your account because of how much effort and quality goes into your breakdowns. ❤❤
tl;dr: Would you smash? Manko Man: Nah, I'd pass Chad behavior right there. Happy Birthday, dude! I found your channel midway through JJK S2 and I'm loving your analysis. Keep up the good work fam.
Hey Manko. I really love your work and my job in silicon valley tech marketing puts me in a decent position to judge. A few things: 1) the passion oozes out of your videos on animation. The problem is, super-niche animation discussion is a dead space for growth. What I think would serve you much better is taking your love for animation and combining it into a more mainstream-friendly package. You could become a talking head like Gigguk, but with an extra eye towards animation while you're doing it. I am very confident that if you did this, you would be able to support yourself entirely off of UA-cam within a single year, if that's what you want. Right now you're doing your own thing, which is great but doesn't pay the bills or grow the channel. Honestly the fact that you've grown so much even with your extremely narrow focus and sparse upload schedule is a testament to how much you could succeed with a more marketable focus. 2) You're incredibly good looking as well which vastly increases your marketability, and your blend of western and Indian vibe is super marketable as well. For now, I would focus on expanding the focus of your videos but keeping the passion. As you find your profitable niche, your subscribers will rise much faster and it would eventually, over the next 12-18 months, become your primary source of income. I completely honestly think you could do it in 6 months, but you'll have to put out some more broad-appeal stuff while keeping your passion, explore some areas of anime that you might enjoy, and go from there. I believe in you. It's insane how underrated you are, and how much you have to offer. You're just being completely held back by having such a narrow focus. Good luck.
I think I speak for a lot of people when I say you’ve been my favourite jjk content in the last couple months. Hearing you break down animation on my favourite episodes has been awesome. Hoping you are able to keep this up, I know the work load can be tough, don’t over work yourself too much
Thank you for your work. Only because of you I learned so much about animation and fall in love with this industry. I am very grateful you created a channel. Keep doing great videos. Good luck!
I love you and your videos! Thank you for every video. Can't stop praising you. Your passionate and love for animation, sakuga and animators are... i can't explain, i just feel it through the video!
You're honestly one of my favorite UA-camrs in general right now, I even have fun with your sparse amount of non anime related uploads, so these yearly updates are a nice treat. Can't wait for another year of Manko "the one who wins" man! Happy birthday🎉
You are doing all animators and animation enthusiasts a service and each and every one of us can sense your passion for this art form. Keep it up man, you are doing amazing!
Happy late birthday buddy, let me just say you've been my favorite anime related channel I've found this year and I've watched all of your videos and loved seeing your community posts especially after watching the latest JJK episode. I hope the channel blows up soon and you can do more of what you're passionate about.
4:02 FLEX 🔥🔥🔥 Happy Birthday Bro may all your wishes come true ❤ Your videos are really informative and I have really watched a lot of them for research, Thanks for making them "YOU ARE AWESOME"
I just started learning animation and your channel has been super helpful in learning all the work going into the anime I watch and techniques I can learn. I would definitely not have been motivated to actually start drawing until I watched your JJK videos and realized how sick animation really is.
Man i just love this guy....my romantic preferences are just like you.....i started drawing this year and i have gained a lot of appreciation for artist in general and would like to meet someone who feels the same....but you know its india its not built for us introverts...but i am just gonna go on a path to gaining for confidence and probably getting a gf (i had some chances in past honestly i think i just fumbled the bag so i am gon a try harder nest time) i love you man have a great year and take carebof yourself....fuck the haters
In regards to your last subject matter about needing to learn about money, i found calebhammer’s youtube channel and have been learning SOOOO much, and I wish I had found it when I was only 23. I feel so far behind, I honestly feel like what he teaches on his channel should be some type of high school curriculum about budgeting for your adult life. Highly recommend. And happy belated birthday, love seeing your channel and confidence grow! :D
You are very brave giving opinions that go against the flow which is admirable and heartwarming. I am a bit worried about your physical and mental health because I believe that intelligent people like you are the best at deceiving themselves. This year you have turned a lot of people from NCAV ( hope I spelled that right) into NCAE opening our eyes to the beauty of this form of art. I can clearly see your influence in the JJK Reddits that I've been following for years, many people are more open to different types of animation, more conscious about separating the animators from the company and of understanding the real issues of that world. That is an incredible feat. Eternally grateful ♥️
Keep doing your videos😁. You are such an inspiration for me. Because of you and your videos I started animating myself and I really want to thank you for it as I love it so much. And I always learn something new through your content. Your videos really help me to grow😉❤️
Please listen to nuggyfresh6430's comment. Your talent is immediately visible. You can tell a good story, you look nice and you're good at what you love. Right now you are like a raw diamond, as Biske from Hunter x Hunter said. From myself I would like to add that you seem to be the type of person quite stubborn in your beliefs such as "I will do what I want and it doesn't matter if a large number of people like it or not" (sorry if that's not true). But I would advise you to combine your passion for more niche things with what the masses want to see, find a balance in that and then you will become very successful. For example, combine animation analysis with analyzing the episodes story wise. Or how the animators/directors emphasize the author's vision with their styles, or add their own vision to it. How the love of all the workers, from soundtrack composers and seiyuu to animators and directors together with the manga author gives birth to outstanding works (that's just my examples). In any case, wish all the the best to you, my indian brother!! Big love from Ukraine for your videos.
6:26 Hey I just wanna say I'm sorry, I don't know if you saw that comment because of me but I linked that comment a while ago under one of your videos. I feel really bad that it made you feel bad, but I just found the contrast in information (or misinformation) interesting and wanted to gain some insight. Whether you were right or not, or if you will make any mistakes going forward, I'll keep watching your content because your opinions are nuanced, your information is grounded and supported by evidence, and you explain your thoughts very well. You are my favourite youtuber and I keep opening youtube just to see if you've made a new post. Please keep doing what you're doing. Thank you.
Been a quiet fan for a few months and you've always been a must watch every time you upload animation analysis. I've always been an animation fan, but getting some better knowledge not just of the craft, but the people behind it has only deepened my appreciation of the medium. Keep it up, love you man
Happy birthday and congratulations! I'm so thankful to have found your channel since your Chainsaw Man animation series last year and you have legitimately changed my viewpoints on art and animation as a whole in the best way possible since then. Having done animation myself the past 2-3 years, I've always had so many questions on the industry and breakdowns on the behind the scenes... until I found your incredible analysis videos that just thrive from your passionate nature. I've appreciated the medium so much more this year and feel more motivated to create what I'm passionate about; drawn to draw! At the end of the day, I really want to thank you for the amount of work and passion you share with us. It takes another level of commitment and strength to do what you are doing and it always makes my day to see you upload! Looking forward to the many successes by next year in your life and videos! Keep up the incredible work! Thank you MankoMan. 🙏
Happy BDay my man. It's my 23rd step as well this year. I always loved dissecting animations frame by frame and sakugas but you really took my animation love to the next level. I can talk more articulately thanks to you now. And I can fight and explain JJK S2 situation and defend animators with more ammo. I love Kekkai Sensen btw May we both end up in better places we never expected :D
Wow thank you so much for keeping up. But PLEASE DON'T RISK YOUR HEALTH. I already love your written posts and your detailed analysis really show your appreciciation for the animator's work😊
As someone who lacked any knowledge regarding the anime industry, you have introduced me into a entirely new world of sakuga. I truly appreciate your passion and interest as it has allowed me to gain interest in this community. I've gotten many of my friends hooked on your channel and they and I love your personality. Keep making videos! (stay healthy tho)
Happy Birthday! You have quickly became one of my favorite content creators when I discovered your JJK content. Keep up the great work but also don't over work yourself.
The mom joke make me laugh. Relationships are a lot of work, being single is great if you wanna focus on your goals. Women suck your energy dry no pun intended
Happy birthday my man!! 🎂 It was nice to hear a lot about your growth and personal experiences. As an Indian introvert on the path to gaining more self-confidence as well, I could say i relate to a lot of your experiences as well. Maybe not the romance or sex life part but still. The environment of our Bharat is something else Anyways, you became one of my biggest motivators for art this year. As someone who picked *cough* Science Stream with the expectations of getting into *sigh* IIT.. (i wnnna die..). Your animation breakdowns gave me inspiration to keep art as a part of my life. I'm really glad i discovered your channel last year. Wish you the best for your future, and keep grinding!! 💪.
Happy birthday! Please continue doing what you love, your videos are great and your passion for animation really shines through them. I'm sure they are going to be above and beyond what you expect them to be in the future. +Cant wait for the patreon and props for not blocking content behind a paywall
I remember when I subscribed to you, you just hit 600 subs I think? It's been great to see you grow and make all the cool JJK videos!! Also the UR MOM joke took me out, I somehow did not see that one coming LMAOO
I’d love to see you launch a Patreon! It would be a joy to support you. It’s been awesome to see your channel growth, your stuff is insanely underrated and I always look forward to your uploads and your thoughts on Twitter! Happy belated birthday 🎉
I found you maybe around the middle of this year and I'm happy I did, I was actually learning how something I admire so much is made, definitely staying. Also what you said to Kato in that message is really nice, I hope he sees it. :)
I'm 24.5, life's different for everyone, but I feel social isolation has increased since covid, don't fall into that rut, try to break out of your routines and get uncomfortable to make progress, the only thing really holding u back is yourself
I remember this video from last year keep it up 🤘🏻 you have by far the best videos on animation on UA-cam and my offer on that trip to Japan still stands if you want and can get the time off work 🤘🏻 keep goin brother
Hey buddy🤩 this is just a word of appreciation for uh😊...!! I must say u r really gud at heart 🙂and as a person. Keep up ua hard n gudwork👍 and continue following ua 🤠passion😊 with same energy May u b protected from all the evil eyes out there😄. Ummm.....n that's goes without saying😜 that u can handle any person or useless criticism 😛out there with ease brave man .😇 as it is clear that this is just 0.1 %🤥 of wht u have already gone through 😌..... THANK UH!🥳
Love the videos, as a 20 something virigin myself, who has a passion for art. I genuinely look forward to your breakdowns. Media breakdowns and discussions are my favorite form of content, I hope you can make youtube more of an livable situation and remove a lot of that stress in life
Your videos have made me appreciate Anime so much more, The amount of work you put in is insane, Seeing you grown from less than 1 thousandd to nearly 9k is insane and you dedserve every once of this success man, Im so glad to see you and Probably Pretentious grow Also you being in the Airline industry is surprising, Usko YT ke saath handle karna kaafi mushkil hota hoga
Maybe you're just an ace (asexual), that's totally normal, although widely misunderstood by Johns Doe ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Happy birthday! Thank you for what you have been doing, it has really enriched my understanding of the industry.
Man I have never related with someone this much about the type of girl you had want in your life. Apart from these , I didn't see any problem in your tweet, even Reddit grilled you and said the comment was a bit tone deaf . That wasn't the best reply but there wasn't anything insensitive about the tweet. I just don't get people sometimes
That was just a panic reply lol. I knew Kato was gonna delete his tweet soon and I didn't want him to hurt himself. I have never been this worried for a person I've never met. Fortunately, he works alongside his friends every day and no one understands what he's going through better than them.
I get what you mean about not being able to find girls that share your interest and not being in a relantionship that doesn't make you happy but i think there would be any harm in taking someone on a date as this could be a chance to learn more about your self potentially
Happy belated birthday, dude! Looking forward to another year of your videos 🙂 Also, I gotta say I really respect your attitude toward sex and fulfillment - the two aren't the same, and depending on who you are they don't even have to be related. It's always great to see people be open about these things and push back on shitty norms and expectations Also also, I've been thinking along very similar lines to what you said regarding JJK and buying blurays/merch. If we want to support the employees themselves, it just ain't the way. I've been keeping my eyes peeled for any way to directly put money in their hands, or otherwise provide assistance. Only thing I'm aware of atm is the animators dormitory project, but I'm curious if you know about any other options
he is staying virgin for the sake of "virgin at " series ,,that's commitment here for ya ,,boys do not fail this guy he is a real one . .... i am one of those couple thousand subscribers this year,, and i am staying here for the ride virgin at 24 babyyyyyy ,,jokes a side good to see you doing well 💙,,being sick sucks,,be safe ,,can't wait for more jujutsu analysis kino🤯
I watched the most of your videos and your channel is very good, but if you make a video about Bleach TYBW Cour 2 I'll be happy 😅. Thank you bro and Keep the good work up 💚 I am sorry if my English is not good, it's not my native language
You are just such a gigachad to fit in this world, i've learned a lot about understanding animation with your videos and i get so entertained for just how you talk and how of a good person i think you are ^^ i'm looking forward for the episode 17 breakdown, i think there are so many things to talk about that nerfed masterpiece XD
Glad you're being recognised now, you deserve all the love n support Mr. I'd always win 🙌
If you comment like every other viewer here I'll pin you and put you on the spot.

Virgin at 23 is a super op cursed technique

Dude will never lose his virginity, cuz MankoMan never loses
MankoMan is Indian Thorfinn."I have no bitches"
Believe me or not, but you're exactly the type of person that I'm aspiring to be right now.
An intellectual, secure (with yourself as well as your career), thoughtful, extremely well-articulated person who's just oozing self confidence in his words and opinions while also totally not being afraid to show passion and love for something that would otherwise be "embarassing" to other people living in a country like India. I've been following you since 2 years and boy, am I so glad that you're finally getting recognition.
The way you speak and the THINGS you speak are so entertaining. Like, the moment you drop videos, I immediately leave all my work and watch you and that says something, considering you don't even rely much on the editing side of your videos, just pure script
Off topic, but to all the people who're saying that virgins are losers in their life. Mind YOU, there's a right time and age for everything and not everyone's heart is in that place.

I think I speak for a lot of people when I say you’ve been my favourite jjk content in the last couple months. Hearing you break down animation on my favourite episodes has been awesome. Hoping you are able to keep this up, I know the work load can be tough, don’t over work yourself too much
came for the animemation
stayed for the person
Thank you for your work. Only because of you I learned so much about animation and fall in love with this industry. I am very grateful you created a channel. Keep doing great videos. Good luck!
Exelente video, siéntete muy orgulloso de todos los logros que has tenido.
I love you and your videos! Thank you for every video. Can't stop praising you. Your passionate and love for animation, sakuga and animators are... i can't explain, i just feel it through the video!
You're honestly one of my favorite UA-camrs in general right now, I even have fun with your sparse amount of non anime related uploads, so these yearly updates are a nice treat. Can't wait for another year of Manko "the one who wins" man! Happy birthday🎉
You are doing all animators and animation enthusiasts a service and each and every one of us can sense your passion for this art form. Keep it up man, you are doing amazing!
Happy birthday! May all your plans and dreams get realized, I wish you even bigger success in the coming years!
Happy late birthday buddy, let me just say you've been my favorite anime related channel I've found this year and I've watched all of your videos and loved seeing your community posts especially after watching the latest JJK episode. I hope the channel blows up soon and you can do more of what you're passionate about.
4:02 FLEX 🔥🔥🔥
Happy Birthday Bro may all your wishes come true ❤
Your videos are really informative and I have really watched a lot of them for research, Thanks for making them "YOU ARE AWESOME"
Keep making videos dude you're the only one of few UA-camrs that actually understand and explain animation cuts well
I just started learning animation and your channel has been super helpful in learning all the work going into the anime I watch and techniques I can learn. I would definitely not have been motivated to actually start drawing until I watched your JJK videos and realized how sick animation really is.
Man i just love this guy....my romantic preferences are just like you.....i started drawing this year and i have gained a lot of appreciation for artist in general and would like to meet someone who feels the same....but you know its india its not built for us introverts...but i am just gonna go on a path to gaining for confidence and probably getting a gf (i had some chances in past honestly i think i just fumbled the bag so i am gon a try harder nest time) i love you man have a great year and take carebof yourself....fuck the haters
In regards to your last subject matter about needing to learn about money, i found calebhammer’s youtube channel and have been learning SOOOO much, and I wish I had found it when I was only 23. I feel so far behind, I honestly feel like what he teaches on his channel should be some type of high school curriculum about budgeting for your adult life. Highly recommend. And happy belated birthday, love seeing your channel and confidence grow! :D
Its so crazy "people" dont understand how important art is to peoples life.
Cant wait for mankoman to finally meet his chinpowoman
You are very brave giving opinions that go against the flow which is admirable and heartwarming.
I am a bit worried about your physical and mental health because I believe that intelligent people like you are the best at deceiving themselves.
This year you have turned a lot of people from NCAV ( hope I spelled that right) into NCAE opening our eyes to the beauty of this form of art. I can clearly see your influence in the JJK Reddits that I've been following for years, many people are more open to different types of animation, more conscious about separating the animators from the company and of understanding the real issues of that world. That is an incredible feat.
Eternally grateful ♥️
Happy birthday MankoMan!
Been watching you for quite some time now really enjoy your content 🙌
''First of all.. no, I also have your mom'' best part of the video
Thank you to the person who made a total noob in animation like me to have all the knowledge about the anime industry and just animation in general
Keep doing your videos😁. You are such an inspiration for me. Because of you and your videos I started animating myself and I really want to thank you for it as I love it so much. And I always learn something new through your content. Your videos really help me to grow😉❤️
You're pretty much my sole Sakuga newsfeed at this point, keep up the good work and happy birthday!
Please listen to nuggyfresh6430's comment. Your talent is immediately visible. You can tell a good story, you look nice and you're good at what you love. Right now you are like a raw diamond, as Biske from Hunter x Hunter said. From myself I would like to add that you seem to be the type of person quite stubborn in your beliefs such as "I will do what I want and it doesn't matter if a large number of people like it or not" (sorry if that's not true). But I would advise you to combine your passion for more niche things with what the masses want to see, find a balance in that and then you will become very successful. For example, combine animation analysis with analyzing the episodes story wise. Or how the animators/directors emphasize the author's vision with their styles, or add their own vision to it. How the love of all the workers, from soundtrack composers and seiyuu to animators and directors together with the manga author gives birth to outstanding works (that's just my examples).
In any case, wish all the the best to you, my indian brother!! Big love from Ukraine for your videos.
6:26 Hey I just wanna say I'm sorry, I don't know if you saw that comment because of me but I linked that comment a while ago under one of your videos. I feel really bad that it made you feel bad, but I just found the contrast in information (or misinformation) interesting and wanted to gain some insight. Whether you were right or not, or if you will make any mistakes going forward, I'll keep watching your content because your opinions are nuanced, your information is grounded and supported by evidence, and you explain your thoughts very well. You are my favourite youtuber and I keep opening youtube just to see if you've made a new post. Please keep doing what you're doing. Thank you.
Happy Birthday bro!
24 year old virgin today ✌🏾
Been a quiet fan for a few months and you've always been a must watch every time you upload animation analysis. I've always been an animation fan, but getting some better knowledge not just of the craft, but the people behind it has only deepened my appreciation of the medium.
Keep it up, love you man
Happy birthday and congratulations! I'm so thankful to have found your channel since your Chainsaw Man animation series last year and you have legitimately changed my viewpoints on art and animation as a whole in the best way possible since then. Having done animation myself the past 2-3 years, I've always had so many questions on the industry and breakdowns on the behind the scenes... until I found your incredible analysis videos that just thrive from your passionate nature. I've appreciated the medium so much more this year and feel more motivated to create what I'm passionate about; drawn to draw! At the end of the day, I really want to thank you for the amount of work and passion you share with us. It takes another level of commitment and strength to do what you are doing and it always makes my day to see you upload! Looking forward to the many successes by next year in your life and videos! Keep up the incredible work! Thank you MankoMan. 🙏
The new AOT episode looked great
Happy BDay my man. It's my 23rd step as well this year. I always loved dissecting animations frame by frame and sakugas but you really took my animation love to the next level. I can talk more articulately thanks to you now.
And I can fight and explain JJK S2 situation and defend animators with more ammo.
I love Kekkai Sensen btw
May we both end up in better places we never expected :D
Wow thank you so much for keeping up. But PLEASE DON'T RISK YOUR HEALTH. I already love your written posts and your detailed analysis really show your appreciciation for the animator's work😊
As someone who lacked any knowledge regarding the anime industry, you have introduced me into a entirely new world of sakuga. I truly appreciate your passion and interest as it has allowed me to gain interest in this community. I've gotten many of my friends hooked on your channel and they and I love your personality. Keep making videos! (stay healthy tho)
Happy Birthday! You have quickly became one of my favorite content creators when I discovered your JJK content. Keep up the great work but also don't over work yourself.
The mom joke make me laugh. Relationships are a lot of work, being single is great if you wanna focus on your goals. Women suck your energy dry no pun intended
Hope you can make videos on everything you want this year but I also hope your health takes priority over everything this year.
Been waiting on this one, Manko-sama.
Happy birthday my man!! 🎂
It was nice to hear a lot about your growth and personal experiences.
As an Indian introvert on the path to gaining more self-confidence as well, I could say i relate to a lot of your experiences as well. Maybe not the romance or sex life part but still. The environment of our Bharat is something else
Anyways, you became one of my biggest motivators for art this year. As someone who picked *cough* Science Stream with the expectations of getting into *sigh* IIT.. (i wnnna die..).
Your animation breakdowns gave me inspiration to keep art as a part of my life.
I'm really glad i discovered your channel last year.
Wish you the best for your future, and keep grinding!! 💪.
happy birthday manko we love you you’ll find a weeb girl that will give you what you need some day soon ❤️
Happy Birthday! I really like your videos analyzing animes
Happy birthday! Please continue doing what you love, your videos are great and your passion for animation really shines through them. I'm sure they are going to be above and beyond what you expect them to be in the future. +Cant wait for the patreon and props for not blocking content behind a paywall
It's sad hearing you won't upload as much but irl job takes priority, it's thanks to you that i know all these stuff happening to mappa animators.
I remember when I subscribed to you, you just hit 600 subs I think? It's been great to see you grow and make all the cool JJK videos!!
Also the UR MOM joke took me out, I somehow did not see that one coming LMAOO
Congratulations man I'm here to congratulate you on yo bachelor's degree of virginess
I’d love to see you launch a Patreon! It would be a joy to support you. It’s been awesome to see your channel growth, your stuff is insanely underrated and I always look forward to your uploads and your thoughts on Twitter! Happy belated birthday 🎉
I found you maybe around the middle of this year and I'm happy I did, I was actually learning how something I admire so much is made, definitely staying. Also what you said to Kato in that message is really nice, I hope he sees it. :)
Good stuff. Great reflections. Pure respect
I'm 24.5, life's different for everyone, but I feel social isolation has increased since covid, don't fall into that rut, try to break out of your routines and get uncomfortable to make progress, the only thing really holding u back is yourself
I remember this video from last year keep it up 🤘🏻 you have by far the best videos on animation on UA-cam and my offer on that trip to Japan still stands if you want and can get the time off work 🤘🏻 keep goin brother
Channel name is wild, best of luck to you brother.
Hey buddy🤩 this is just a word of appreciation for uh😊...!! I must say u r really gud at heart 🙂and as a person. Keep up ua hard n gudwork👍 and continue following ua 🤠passion😊 with same energy May u b protected from all the evil eyes out there😄.
Ummm.....n that's goes without saying😜 that u can handle any person or useless criticism 😛out there with ease brave man .😇 as it is clear that this is just 0.1 %🤥 of wht u have already gone through 😌.....
THANK UH!🥳
3:11 he instantly destroyed all his haters with this one. Simultaneously rizzed every haters mom.
Love the videos, as a 20 something virigin myself, who has a passion for art. I genuinely look forward to your breakdowns. Media breakdowns and discussions are my favorite form of content, I hope you can make youtube more of an livable situation and remove a lot of that stress in life
you're my favorite youtuber!
Dude your videos are amazing , thanks for that
25 virgin here, keep it up homie! u can do it too :)
I came for JJK probably gonna stay cause of your enthusiasm for sakuga
Aye happy belated birthday, birthday month twin!
Your videos have made me appreciate Anime so much more, The amount of work you put in is insane, Seeing you grown from less than 1 thousandd to nearly 9k is insane and you dedserve every once of this success man, Im so glad to see you and Probably Pretentious grow
Also you being in the Airline industry is surprising, Usko YT ke saath handle karna kaafi mushkil hota hoga
Maybe you're just an ace (asexual), that's totally normal, although widely misunderstood by Johns Doe ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Happy birthday! Thank you for what you have been doing, it has really enriched my understanding of the industry.
this guy is real as fuck
Man I have never related with someone this much about the type of girl you had want in your life.
Apart from these , I didn't see any problem in your tweet, even Reddit grilled you and said the comment was a bit tone deaf . That wasn't the best reply but there wasn't anything insensitive about the tweet. I just don't get people sometimes
That was just a panic reply lol. I knew Kato was gonna delete his tweet soon and I didn't want him to hurt himself. I have never been this worried for a person I've never met. Fortunately, he works alongside his friends every day and no one understands what he's going through better than them.
I get what you mean about not being able to find girls that share your interest and not being in a relantionship that doesn't make you happy but i think there would be any harm in taking someone on a date as this could be a chance to learn more about your self potentially
Love you Manko❤🎉
Happy belated birthday, dude! Looking forward to another year of your videos 🙂
Also, I gotta say I really respect your attitude toward sex and fulfillment - the two aren't the same, and depending on who you are they don't even have to be related. It's always great to see people be open about these things and push back on shitty norms and expectations
Also also, I've been thinking along very similar lines to what you said regarding JJK and buying blurays/merch. If we want to support the employees themselves, it just ain't the way. I've been keeping my eyes peeled for any way to directly put money in their hands, or otherwise provide assistance. Only thing I'm aware of atm is the animators dormitory project, but I'm curious if you know about any other options
he is staying virgin for the sake of "virgin at " series ,,that's commitment here for ya ,,boys do not fail this guy he is a real one
.
....
i am one of those couple thousand subscribers this year,, and i am staying here for the ride virgin at 24 babyyyyyy ,,jokes a side good to see you doing well 💙,,being sick sucks,,be safe ,,can't wait for more jujutsu analysis kino🤯
I love your videos bro keep going
Keep going man, I really like watching your videos and I think you provide a lot of good insight into the background of these productions.
Happy Belated Birthday 🎉
👀 also…
Do you think you’d ever get around to making that “anime terminologies” video you talked about in the past?
Happy birthday
I watched the most of your videos and your channel is very good, but if you make a video about Bleach TYBW Cour 2 I'll be happy 😅.
Thank you bro and Keep the good work up 💚
I am sorry if my English is not good, it's not my native language
You are just such a gigachad to fit in this world, i've learned a lot about understanding animation with your videos and i get so entertained for just how you talk and how of a good person i think you are ^^
i'm looking forward for the episode 17 breakdown, i think there are so many things to talk about that nerfed masterpiece XD
Happy late Birthday
It’s ok bro, you ARE the main character. I shall take the spot as the secondary main character from here on out.
26 years old here😂 I have more chakra than Naruto and Sasuke combined
