I understand that making different content and wanting to branch out to others, but you have made some of the best JJK content and analysis video's I have ever seen.
Easily. I have 0 knowledge about animation yet the way dude explains things has made me understand so much about the medium. Also in getting to know the names of these great artists.
Sunghoo Park walking away from JJK is probably the best decision he could have made. Anyone who's seen ep 1 of Ninja Kamui will know why. It looks better than anything he did in JJK (probably because he was actually able to finish it). We can only hope that Gosso stays on for season 3. Even Hakuyu Go was criticizing the production and Vincent Chansard said he's never returning to work for Mappa. I'm worried for the Chainsaw Man movie.
@@Echidonadonut69nah, he enhanced the experience and filtered away the battle shonen normies, making csm one of the best looking shows of the decade and an unforgettable experience
Please don't stop making content. I understand life and work happens, but literally no one else on the internet can replace the content you do. You are so passionate, informative, well spoken, your content is the highest piercing pinnacle of the top level quality in this genre. No one else does this. Not to mention while looking like such a snack that anyone with ADHD will constantly be distracted so their disorder is perfectly managed throughout the video. Good luck with your new/old work/life situation!
At 25:57, Yuji isn't sticking out his middle knuckle to avoid breaking it, it's actually a special martial arts technique called "Nakadaka Ippon Ken", by concentracting a lot of pressure at a singular point like that, you can do serious amounts of damage, especially to anywhere like the neck, face and ribs
@@warudos ahhh right. I don’t think he learnt any of them I think he is just that gifted. Like naturally doing it without thinking. Cause his world record sprint at episode 1 is like actually insane.
@@Jummugest Actually I'm gonna say that he was probably taught by someone like either Gojo or someone else in the school who specialises in martial arts, Yuji has nothing going for him apart from his natural resistance to things from Sukuna, his bodies insane physical prowess and his ability to control his own CE, he would absolutely need to get good at martial arts if he's going up against 1st and Special Grade enemies, and it's not hard to believe that he was able to learn all of this is a short period of a few months, as it's already seen that Yuji is not only highly determined, but naturally adaptable and picks things up relatively quickly
Man, they were barely scraping by and managed to produce one of the best visual shounen seasons ever. With a slightly less worse schedule, let alone the two years of production they were supposed to have (over double the time they ended up having) I cannot even imagine what we would have gotten, what we were SUPPOSED TO GET. We are the ONLY REALITY OUT OF INFINITE TIMELINES THAT GOT A BOTCHED JJK SEASON 2 SCHEDULE.
Glad to have u back GOAT 48:54 Was waiting for your breakdown on this part which was a surprise for everyone considering it's so much different from his usual style
Hey, Manko. I am wondering if you have seen Sunghoo Parks new project Ninja Kamui episode 1 by E&H productions. It's just incredible. Hope you do a breakdown of it someday.
This video is the cherry on top of all your JJK work. It sums up what this season has been for me: a canvas for creative freedom (even the director plays with a new style!) with passionate and amazing artists, working in an impossible schedule. Thank you once more for this exhaustive breakdowns, I wouldn't appreciate the effort and the beauty without them. Also and more important; hope this video means that things are going on better for you . ❤️
I've watched this video 4 times now, and every time I watch it, it becomes even more wonderful. I'm going to leave my comment here just to help the video engage and spread even more. Please keep doing the wonderful work you do.
Thanks for your monumental work, for letting us all enjoy all the beautiful things you've noticed in the second season of JJK. I'm extremely glad you're gonna branch out towards different animation projects, and I'm really looking forward to seeing what you will offer us!
1:26:32 That's not Sukuna's and Yuji's face spilt . Both sides are Sukuna's face. You can see it in ep 2 and even in some illustrations done by Gege , the right side of Sukuna's face has something like a mask and the left doesn't, but that left side is still Sukuna's face not Sukuna in Yuji's body.
It really amazing but also at the same time depressing because while this amount of teamwork saved shibuya end production. It's also a new excuse and way for Manabu Otsuka to convert the overproduction nature, in his mind he can own as many shounen projects as possible no matter how bad the schedule is because all he needs is one or two famous talented animators to get people to work together through almost impossible deadlines.
42:40 I know its beating a dead horse at this point but Tokuno’s decision to hold the scene for a couple seconds before todo says “we are the exception” is what was missing in arifumi imai’s episode too imo. Gojo’s line feels kinda rushed and doesnt really have a lasting impression compared to how todo’s speech was adapted. Couldnt help but point this out since both scenes are so similiar in nature 😂 (Todo was very well drawn here too so the way its adapted obviously matters alot)
1:11:09 At first i thought it was an error as well but it's not, it's todo telling yuji about their attack plan using the rock throw in the next sequence.
now that were done with JJK, please talk about a more broad selection of shows in the future. I love your content but there are so many shows deserving of recognition 😭
Another amazing analysis video from Manko as per usual. I discovered your videos about 6 months ago and I’ve learned so much about animation ever since. Your videos are always so informative and they give me a new appreciation for anime as a whole. Thanks for making content for us despite the stress that everyday life brings. Good luck on your future endeavors ❤️
What a wild ride this season was, in all aspects. Gosso and the many first time directors and staff in this project proved that they'll be invaluable assets in any project they participate in. Part of me hopes Gosso eventually directs shows outside of MAPPA so he can actually realize his ambitions without the issues had on this show. Now that the JJK arc of MankoMan is over, I wonder if you ever considered breakdowns or videos on older shows, OVAs, or movies? Idk how much knowledge you have on staff and productions of pre-2000s anime, but animation analysis of high tier/influential productions like Run Melos, Gunbuster, Magnetic Rose, Spriggan and others would be fascinating if you were willing to do research on those. I know it would be harder since we wouldn't have as much documentation as we do with modern shows but if you tried it at least once would be pretty cool. Either way, with the amount of new shows and 21st century stuff in general that deserve a video, anything you got coming out would be interesting
32:30 It wasnt conveyed in tha anime but Nobara entered when Mahitos exchanged places The real Mahito Running towards her made a blind spot so she still saw only one Mahito Also she tried to protect herself
The remix of Mahito’s theme really does a lot to help carry the kinetic energy of his final fight with Yuji. Seeing the animation without the music there lessens the oomph a fair bit.
Great vid. Can't wait to see all of the episodes undimmed and unghosted. I am just hoping the working conditions will be better for season 3, because they have their hands full with the amount of action.
Jjk is one of the most visually captivating and engaging anime but I can’t help but imagine how much better it would have looked if they took their time, it would have surpassed demon slayer and your name in terms of visual quality.
I definitely still rock with it more than KNY (less in-your-face compositing) but it's not fair to the animators to have it be incomplete. The adapted fights for next season are no less insane so let's see how it goes.
I recently re-watched DS season 1. It's one of the most boring and stale shows of the past few years direction wise. Nozomu Abe carries the hell out of it
@@RedDevilAxel their output is EXTREMELY low in season 1. Plus it's 26 episodes. I have to tolerate SO MANY Haruo sotozaki storyboarded episodes.. it's hell
Another stellar video! Your content is so easy to watch, this was the quickest hour and thirty five minutes ever. Could watch your analysis for hours and hours. I’m able to appreciate and understand so much more about what it takes to bring animation to the fans and all the work put into it that we maybe take for granted. You help me see the little things and appreciate all the beautiful moments in each episode. Thank you for your hard work! Thank you thank you!!
I haven’t seen the JJK anime, but once the manga is finished, I’m watching it from the beginning just because I heard how good the animation is. Also no spoilers, I’m a little behind.
Bless you! Finally, the analysis I've been waiting for huhuhu~ And congrats on the new life chapter, from what I can tell you're a hard worker and I'm glad all of your work paid off
Top tier video of a top tier content You're doing so well just believe in that and discipline with it And i hope before the end of this world u drop that uppermoon meeting video just take your time
Manko man will you do a general mini breakdown of all the episode of jjk s2 when you will do production hell video and your thought on the production of jjk season 3?
I hope things have gone well enough so you have time to make more videos, I like jjk so having videos of your depth into it's animation is cool, but It would be interesting to see an animator spotlight(TNK one would be awesome if I may suggest), analysis for other shows(perhaps some that might finishing airing by the time you will get to it) or just other stuff you already have planned, regardless these are just thoughts, reality is harsher, so even with a large interval between videos I just appreciate you're still doing these.
I have checked my playback speed twice it's normal don't know why he is talking so fast, it's a really informative and educational video but he is just so fast I couldn't catch in the starting. After that, everything is great
Glad to see you back, I would love to see you react to Solo leveling best scenes too, I was surprised by it. Even the op looks really good, with deep black highlights.
I understand that making different content and wanting to branch out to others, but you have made some of the best JJK content and analysis video's I have ever seen.

Is ep 22 coming too?

I’m still mad Ryu Nakayama is no longer director, he understood how csm is supposed to look on screen
Chansard said that 2 years before he was convinced by Gosso to return and work on JJK for a few cuts. He was already pissed at Manabu
@@supersomeone9032 nah, he made chainsaw man boring with dogwater pacing
@@Echidonadonut69nah, he enhanced the experience and filtered away the battle shonen normies, making csm one of the best looking shows of the decade and an unforgettable experience
@@supersomeone9032 that may have been a blessing in disguise because now he doesn't have to deal with Manabu Otsuka bs.

Crazy as hell cuz theyru never added yujis use of the manji kick. taido martial arts. This man just knows these combat moves. Like crazy
@@warudosthats not true the manji kicked happened when him and Mahito started their cramped space fight. Its the first move yuji hits him with.
@Jummugest oh yeah, i know he did it. I'm just wondering where he learned these techniques? Man's a 15 year old using high-quality arts.
@@warudos ahhh right. I don’t think he learnt any of them I think he is just that gifted. Like naturally doing it without thinking. Cause his world record sprint at episode 1 is like actually insane.

i literally became a better animator by watching your videos
THATS WHY HES THE GOAT. THE GOAT!
Commentary immaculate. Voice and breakdown fun as hell.
Whatever you decide to review going forward, jjk or not, I will be watching!
Wake up babe, the king is back

Who let bro cook this hard with the thumbnail?
The first shinya ohira influenced animation in jjk season 2 is when mei mei cut the smallpox curse arm

1:07:11 isn't it it similar to yutapon style, where he breaksdown characters to simple shapes for fast movement.
42:40 I know its beating a dead horse at this point but Tokuno’s decision to hold the scene for a couple seconds before todo says “we are the exception” is what was missing in arifumi imai’s episode too imo.

exactly how i feel.
Really amazing video as always Manko! Just a minor correction, Ligton is a woman and not a man btw.
Ligton is most likely a dude. His name is Riku. Shouichi is a woman.
1:11:09 At first i thought it was an error as well but it's not, it's todo telling yuji about their attack plan using the rock throw in the next sequence.

aot needs to be finished too
Undead Unluck, Frieren, Zom 100, Mob Psycho 100, Delicious in Dungeon just to name a few. @@Elijah.Manga0

HOOOOOOLY SHIT JUST GOTTA SAY "THANK YOU MAN" IN THE FIRST PLACE 🎉

It wasnt conveyed in tha anime but
Nobara entered when Mahitos exchanged places
The real Mahito Running towards her made a blind spot so she still saw only one Mahito
Also she tried to protect herself
Good to see you back Chapri. Done with your exams?
Well, i don't read the manga and i understand exactly that, the blind spot and the confusion hit her by surprise.
I was waiting only for this moment to happen🍿
The remix of Mahito’s theme really does a lot to help carry the kinetic energy of his final fight with Yuji. Seeing the animation without the music there lessens the oomph a fair bit.
we missed you manko!
I know what im watching this weekend🔥🔥

Absolute gift of a video after 12+ hours of classes 🙏

Was waiting for this! Thank you for your content and love the stuff you put out man
These episodes are the new Black Clover episode 63. It will go down in anime history as one of the greatest artistic visions with limited resources.
Amazing video, Manko is just the best.

46:07 is most likely a persona reference specifically persona 5
Always a good day when you upload
HE IS BACKKK
Manko its 2AM....
I have checked my playback speed twice it's normal don't know why he is talking so fast, it's a really informative and educational video but he is just so fast I couldn't catch in the starting.
After that, everything is great
I want to be in a timeline where JJK season 2 got proper production.
bro you are looking like arpit bala from episode 20 onwards 😂 btw so nice that you are making videos, keep rocking!
Love your explanations !!
