This made me think of just how many sheer amount of blond characters there are in anime/manga for no good reason.... are the japanese only fascinated by them? lol
@@armaanb.6566 Well, yeah. Just look at all the Americans that dye their hair blue. It's easy to romanticize something you don't see in your everyday reality. =P
japanese stereotypes on white people are usually blonde and blue eyes now that I think about it, that is literally how most people in east and south east asia view white people lmao@@armaanb.6566
@@MeibiceliaI mean, I kinda understand Joey for not reviewing or watching any anime at this point of his life. Maybe he's tired of doing it. Similar to my experience, I used to be passionate in script writing and storytelling yet somehow I gradually lost that passion..
Literally the next video underneath for me says: "to avoid failure is to fail by default"... But i guess it's less painful. Although he's probably just trying to be relatable since he already is in a way successful, donno if hi's an ungrateful swine or naht but anyhows
Man, it hits hard even for me. I am 26 years, but I still have the mentality of a child with hopes and dreams. My goals and ambitions aren't even materialistic ones, in the sense of finding something a passion that you will put into work. Rather than that, I had simple goal in life.To enjoy every bit of happy thing with my closest friends and family. I always had nostalgic sentiments over memories of the past that I didn't thought that someday would end. However, times have changed. People who supported me have move out, or are not longer with me, and the things I enjoyed eroded away over time. Ever since, the feeling of loneliness and sadness has turned into catalytic depression, which hardly I can pull off against. Still, deep down, I believe I have a hope of finding the simplest joy in life. It's probably the reason I remember my dreams in my sleep.
Do what you want to do, who care. If someone leave, you can find another and make them happy with you. The memories is beautiful because you cant experience it again, but dont let them root you in place. Life have much more thing you can enjoy, who can stop you to find it?
I'm very sorry to hear that. Unfortunately, the only constant in life is change. I, too, once lost nearly everything important to me. I allowed myself to tell myself that it was okay to lose everything, and that I had no choice, and deserved no better. It was a version of the truth. Another version of the truth was that it wasn't okay, and that I did deserve better. Eventually I took steps towards progression, and found new things to buoy me and give me new fond memories and feelings. Some of those things are now gone now, and I look back on them with fondness and sadness. Things aren't great right now. But I keep putting one foot in front of the other, and I keep doing what I can to help others and be kind. Then, at least, no matter what, I will never have regrets. Remember. The only constant is change. What goes down, can go up, and will feel all the better for it. But when you're up, my advice is to try to build yourself a boat to shield yourself from the next downswell.
This bees and flies analogy is legitimately the funniest thing I've heard online all year, and the delivery here was great, actual certified garnt bee moment
Honestly, motivation is over-rated and any attempts to maintain it are futile. Especially when people WAIT for the motivation to come before they START. Maybe it comes; maybe it doesn't. Doesn't really matter because even if it does come, it won't stay. The key is to work on DISCIPLINE. That is something tangible that you can actually start out with the SMALLEST of things and work on being consistent with it. Then you expand on that. As an example, I work out 4 days a week with the only allowable excuse is if I am sick. I don't care how much I worked that day. I don't care how tired I feel. If it is a gym day, I am forcing myself to go. Even if I only do half of what I normally would. I am doing SOMETHING. Trust me when I say there are plenty of days where I do not have the motivation. Can't find it. Can't squeeze it from anywhere. Can't buy it. Can't borrow it. It's the DISCIPLINE that carries me through those days. The other VITAL part of this is when you are first starting out, you HAVE to allow yourself to fail sometimes because you likely will. And that is ok. Just try again and fail again. You aren't a lazy piece of shit. You just aren't accustomed to this change you are trying to make which is normal. I used the gym as an example but it applies to whatever way you want to improve yourself. There are 4 things that you need in order to improve ANYTHING, including yourself: 1) Time - for obvious reasons. 2) Patience - probably the most important of all. 3) Creativity - improvement is a problem and problems need solutions and coming up with a solution to a problem is a creative process. 4) Ingenuity - the "other side of the coin" for number 3. Coming up with a solution is one thing but it means nothing if you can't implement it. Lame example of number 4: I have discovered that an internal combustion engine, ICE, can run on sadness and disappointment, BUT, I don't know how to modify a car's engine to accommodate for this. I discovered a solution to a problem (energy in this dumb example), but can't modify or invent an engine to make it happen. Creativity without ingenuity. The other thing to remember is that you don't have to do it alone. Seek assistance from others that have been there and done that. If not people, then books. If not books, then maybe a youtube tutorial. Resources are out there.
it probably helps but I think the more important aspect is that there is someone who is helping you even just by listening to what you are trying to do. because doing something on your own with no one to talk to, no one to share what you are going through is what generally people who "give up" on their dreams experience. When the only feetback loop you have is negative trying to achieve your dream becomes just pain.
@@KatamuroTheFirst This is certainly where I'm at. At some point failing so many times becomes too painful to bear alone, and yet there's no one to turn to who I can believe in... who can convince me that there's any hope things will get better. At some point it becomes easier and safer to just be numb, empty. Support is important but an all too rare commodity. I hate knowing other people are experiencing that too. I don't wish this crippling despair on anyone, especially because it feels like a hole that's impossible to escape from. Support is rarer commodity still to people who can't bring themselves to try, and therefore don't have any opportunities to be seen.
The fact that Nico is voiced by Sydney here reminds me that it was his lover-then-fiancée-now-wife that gave him a big push to pursue something else for his career, as Garnt says in his "Why I Left the BBC" video, is a pretty match from manga to real life.
Thanks for this gigguk. I recently failed a semester at uni, and I felt like shit because it felt like I could never keep going. That I'd just keep failing if I tried. Not only this, but my partner of 4 years left. And it feels as though it's my fault. But I've been trying to use the loss of him as a driving force to continue my work and continue my dream. And then this pops up in my feed. And maybe it's stupid, but maybe in some way, the universe is telling me that I shouldn't give up. I just need to put my all into this. Thank you to anyone who bothered to read this ❤
Damn that’s scarily close to me lol. But we’ll pull through somehow. I’ve ended up reconnecting more with an old friend like I’d always wanted to but just never did.
@flixelgato1288 That's good for you. I've been talking a lot with a new friend, and that's helped me as well. Having someone to talk to is always good.
Hey stranger. I've dropped out of university four times. I was on academic probation multiple times. I had to retake almost an entire year of a degree because I failed one course. I've had to give up on dreams, I've failed once-in-a-lifetime auditions I spent thousands of dollars to attend. I have two degrees, a loving partner, and a job I wake up every morning feeling blessed to get to go to, because I love every day doing it. It takes time. It took years and years to get here. It was not easy, fast, or painless, but you can get there. And when you do, everything you went through will feel like a distant memory of a past life. Stay strong and keep pushing through. Get some sunlight, talk to a therapist, and if you need time away from school, do it.
It’s always a good day when gigguk posts a video with an onimous title about a random manga that’s probably gonna get a giant anime adaptation in 2 years
Well this series is guaranteed to have an anime adaptation by Netflix. The author won in a reality show competition by Shonen Jump collaboration with Netflix.
You pretty much summed up all my feelings about this series. I found myself relating so much to Tatsuhiko about all the dreams and passions I have and I never ended up pursuing and this series made me want to give an attempt at it. Still trying to find/make the time to do it, but little by little, it could all turn out fruitful. A Netflix anime adaptation is in the works and I know this story is worth it!
Man, this video was providential. It's exactly what I needed. I have been looking for something exactly like this and been feeling the creative itch recently. Thank you, Gigguk.
Being 25 and having the mentality since 18 of just kinda gliding through life. I have never really had an ambition, I enjoy things, and will start things but I lose a drive to continue and bad habits distract me again with days passing without notice. Part of this is that mentality of "I can't fail if I never actually commit to anything." and another is just being self-defeating of myself. I am very aware of all this, have been for over 5 years, but I'm also in a weird state.. of being okay with it. I don't even know what I'm trying to say in the comment just felt like rambling. Just the video brought the thoughts to me as I reflect in them a lot.
22 here, kind of had that gliding through life strategy my entire life, it starts to get annoying honestly. I find it most easy to be productive if I have someone telling me what to do who I agree with, and recently I had a teacher who forced me to take physical notes on my project progress and signed them weekly. While annoying at first, I understood the purpose of documentation and followed through. After 3 weeks it kind of reignited some passion, I'm about to take my bachelor degree next semester and this is a strategy I will use, and hopefully I'll create a habit for everyday life. Highly recommend for anyone who have tried digital note taking apps to document their thoughts, but ultimately failed at the end. Buy a notebook with a good pen, find a suitable mentor/companion/friend who are willing to read your journey and let them sign it every time they read it, they don't even need to give feedback if you don't want to (but it's recommended). You commit your progress, doesn't matter if it is towards a dream or something else, but as long as you do something you will feel the weight of going forward. Hope this inspires, but my comment will probably sink in the depths of the internet 😅cheers!
I mean if it failing like in the manga its ok, but being dropped out of medical school really not that fun, i realised it only in my 20, don't even know what to do now
the truth is not a single dream is worth all the effort that it will take. not a single one of them but you still gotta dream regardless and work your damndest best to get it it, for you and for everyone else you care about and hope to care about in the future
Gigguk: "And at the end, there was someone waiting for him..." Me: who? Gigguk: "His younger self." Me: *literally bursts into tears.* God, I needed this. Thanks for the inspiring recommendation Gigguk!
For anybody searching music on 10:26 - 11:35: it's second part of "Shinsou no reijou" from Monogatari Series. If you didn't watched it - i highly recommend it
I just have to give a shoutout to Gigguk - the guy's talent for selling manga and anime is absolutely insane! His passion and charisma make even the most skeptical folks curious about diving into the world of anime. On a side note, the journey in Beats And Motion is a reminder that even if we don't always achieve our dreams, it's crucial never to stop dreaming. Dreams have a funny way of evolving, and sometimes the journey itself is the most valuable part. As the story shows us, the dream may not last forever, but the experiences and lessons gained along the way are priceless. Keep dreaming, keep exploring, and who knows, the adventure might just lead you to unexpected and incredible places!
Wow. I know this is just confirmation bias, but this video came to me in the exact day that I decided to let go of my dreams. I want to be a mathematician, and I am currently doing a PhD. Nothing seems to be working out. It was a project that I was mostly proud of when I started doing it (I somehow got it funded). Unfortunately, I was also pretty much alone for the most part of the PhD journey. No real friends, no true adviser too. But it was no fault of the people around me. I fancied myself as an independent researcher. I could more-or-less understand most of the mathematics that I read if I spend my time on it, but producing one is a completely different thing. I had ideas but I couldn't follow through them because of crippling anxiety. I just kept bouncing around from topic to topic and paper to paper. Never truly learning anything substantial. Today I decided to give up. But I can't after all. Math was everything for me for almost a decade now. I am still not that good. However, I want to honestly try again, one more time. I just want to finish writing my dissertation. For now I will work for one more year. I will use all the resources that I actually have. I will no longer pretend to be the cool independent student. I want to change. I don't know if I will make it or not, but I will be back here. Thanks Gigguk.
Never though I'd see Gigguk gas up Beat & Motion, but honestly this series is a pretty grounded (for the shounen demographic at least) take on the journey of reaching dreams within the entertainment industry including all of its external obstacles, hardships, self-doubts, insecurities, and etc. Some at first considered the prologue and earlier parts to be way too fast (considering how the male MC managed to transition from band work to animation pretty quickly in spite of his lack of practice over the years) but other than that, the rest of the journey is pretty well-paced and gives (near) equal focus to both protagonists in spite of their different goals (helps that their goals all supplement each other so they'll still be interacting even if they're apart at times). In a genre involving music and animation, I believe that this manga would benefit from an animated adaptation as a means to convey the art of the mcs.
Beat & Motion will an anime adaption. Since it won an event with the grand prize winner getting ¥5,000,000 in cash, a chance to serialize their manga on Shōnen Jump+ with at least one tankōbon volume being published, and an anime adaptation from Netflix. Unfortunately Beat & Motion perform badly on Japan version of Shonen Jump+. It rank at 122th place, latest chapter achieve around 150k view. For comparison, Marriagetoxin and Make the exorcist fall in love each ranked at 14th and 18th place while the latest chapter have 800k view and 700k each respectively.
Thank you Gigguk for this video, I'll remember this for the rest of my life. This video inspires me to try harder on my dream now that I am currently dropped out of college. I'll use this break to make a name for myself before going back to uni. Thankyou again sir gigguk
I saw it pop up when chapter 1 dropped and I’ve been following it voraciously ever since. It hits so hard as a man still trying to find his way into the engineering side of the music business.
Man I feel you. In the midst of a Music and Sound Design degree dreaming to become a Composer for film or video games and finally realising it’s not what you know but WHO you know
HELL YEAH!!! I'm glad Garnt also picked this up. This series is hella dope just cuz of how relatable it is, and how expressive it can get with the process dealing with these emotions. Hope this series continues until a satisfying ending.
Thank you for making this video. Your analysis of this manga really hit home to me as well. I'd love to pick this manga up soon to try and inspire myself to be a bee more often!
been reading beat and motion since it first started, i wasn’t completely sold at first but it’s really been developing into something special! glad to see it getting recognized
6:12 into the video, pause, catch up in an hour, come back i love this manga already, i had the biggest grin on my face reading it, even if the upload schedule for the chapters is bad most places
Beat & Motion very quickly became one of my favorite currently releasing series when I picked it up. The way it presents fear of chasing your dreams and the will to overcome it is so moving. It's a phenomenal story and definitely worth a read for anyone.
You are such an incredible script writer Garnt. All of your videos somehow find a way to give me the hard feels that make me want to do better, and keep trying.
Been reading Beat & Motion since chapter 1, very happy to see gigguk review it, literally just started the video. Hopefully this trend of everything he reviews becomes popular and gets an anime continues with this.
This is the first time I've cried to one of your videos. I think it's because of probably the subject matter, it felt like this was a story you were telling about me, down to the last detail. Not in a metaphorical sense, either. Growing up I wanted to be an animator, and make anime, and then that dream sort of shifted to music after it died out. As a music producer, I've recently been picking up animation again, and I've been working on the storyboards for music videos. I'm similar to who this story is about, in the sense that I'm a dreamer, with huge ambitions and goals that I've found it easy to lose hope in. Many scrapped ideas, many unfinished projects and many half baked and half rendered tests fill my uninspiring and unreleased portfolio, and I have nothing to show for those dreams. But sometime within the last few years, I did have a dream. Not like in the sense of a desire or aspiration, an actual dream. The dream came after watching the anime "A place further than the universe", in which I saw the northern lights for the first time. I kept having this dream for weeks, and one morning, I got up and said "I'm gonna do it." So I looked it up and did all the research, plans changed from norway, to iceland to alaska to sweden to back to norway again, and years passed as the idea seemed to fade into impossibility. The dreams stopped too, for a while. But they did come back, showing me on the flight, and it would always be the same dream of me, getting to the airport, getting on the plane, and then waking up before arriving. This really frustrated me, and I started to feel that mindset of 'I'm just gonna do it' coming back, and so I did just go and do it. I'm 18 years old, and so you can imagine it wasn't super easy, but on the 26th of september this year, I'd completed my first ever big life dream. It changed me in a way, since when I came back on that flight, I was listening to a song. Porter Robinson - Look at the sky, for anyone who's curious, and ideas flooded my head. Ideas for a music video, shot for shot, every little sequence and detail was in my head and I could see it vividly. I guess I felt my passion for being creative come back in that instant. I'm working on it still, and it's not been easy, but It's going to get done. I guess TL:DR. I didn't believe in myself to be able to complete my dreams of being an animator, or a musician, or a photographer or artist or to be able to see the northern lights. But seeing the northern lights set me into motion in a way, similar to how the girl did in this story. Thank you for reading. I may have to read this manga :)
It's insane how much more progress I've made after starting to believe in myself. It's not easy but as long as I give myself the slightest bit of faith then even if it takes a long time and I fall over many pitfalls... I'll get there one day :D
It's the unknown that scares us and not want to try anything. We look at other people's success and see them as perfectly polished with no flaws. We don't know how long we'll be climbing to reach our goals or if we can even reach them at all, so then we decide to give up them because it's feels better that way, more within our comfort zone. Never give up. Everyone begins at the starting line, but it's your choice to see when you cross the finish line. And then when you do, ask yourself this: Am I really done?
Thank you Gigguk. I needed this kind of reminders. I have been at a slump with both college and work. In College I hit a roadblock in my research and at work I have been sent home for almost a month with my pay being held up. My only source of income recently was voice over job that should help get past 1-2 weeks. I don't want to give up, but I am at the phase of 'what's the point of working hard if you aren't getting any rewards.'
Very rare for gigguk to make a video about a manga that already got an anime announced :P. (Context: The author won some kind of contest with the firt chapters or something and winning that included an anime, before the manga even really came out)
Let's go! Glad someone is talking about beat and motion. Saw the first chapter on viz when it came out and have been keeping up since and I've loved it with every release. As a mid twenties adult I related right from the start. I had no motivation and didn't enjoy any of my hobbies. But this has sparked me to get back into stuff I used to enjoy and enjoy it for the sake of my own enjoyment.
I came across this manga when it was about 10 chapters in, I've been keeping up with it ever since and it's the one (along with chainsaw man) that finally convinced me to read more manga. As someone who wants to create and make fun and personal things this manga hits hard and true. It's so easy to be distracted or discouraged by everything I see and take in around me and it's led me into a creatively dead cycle. But this manga helps to remind me that it is possible to follow through with the dreams I want to achieve, but it will take a lot of hard work. Don't mind me while I write down to remind myself to reread all those earlier chapters again Edit: HOLY CRAP IT'S THEIR DEBUT MANGA?????
"The road remains wide open while your dreams are alive, only fear can block the way. Let fear propel you forward, do not look back, do not let failure stifle you." Also Garnt, you HAVE a RL Anime waifu cheering you on, she's called you wife! ;)
@@AWanderingSwordsman Most obstacles are tangible. Even chronic sickness and death. One of the few intangible things _are_ dreams. Your fear and pain from the very tangible obstacles physically incomparably outweigh dreams. It's up to you to still go on forward and reach for those dreams despite them.
Guys, I'm getting concerned. This is like the 5th Gigguk video where the title is something super depressing like "How it feels losing everyone", "You're worthless and always will be" and "She doesn't love you". Is the dark timeline slowly leaking through again?
I swear when you revealed that his younger self was waiting for him.....I had to pause and my eyes were about to burst open. And yeah, this manga sounds incredibly relatable and very on-point when it comes to dreams and the road to get to them...maybe I should pick it up.
There's many stoies about achieving dreams and never giving up, but I never found one that explores what it's like not having a dream. I don't mean someone who gave up on their future, I mean someone who never had a dream or something that they wish to do. I personally am like this so I'm not able to relate to stories like this one and I'm always courious as to why nobody talks about this, am I the only one who doesn't have a dream? idk but I hope to one day find a story about my mindset
yeah it's all about ambitions, but what if you're not that kind of person ? I always felt something was wrong with me because of it, especially when you're surrounded by people that are so passionate about things Y or Z and you just.... exist.
The bit of having a dream to guide you is so important. During school I was shunted along from class to class and grade to grade with everyone else. I had a purpose that was given to me and instead of dreaming about what *I* wanted to be I played out the dreams of the people in stories. Then when the time came to spread my wings and fly with the rest of my classmates, I crashed, and I crashed quickly. That was about a decade ago and the experience still haunts me in an almost palpable way.
I barely read Manga's, but this is the first Manga that I took interest in Reading a few months ago. It was exactly around the time when I had finished my finals and was feeling like I wasn't good at anything while everyone else I knew was doing better than me, and had planned their future. This manga really hit different for me, I am glad I found interest in it. Can't wait for the Anime adaptation!
Peak & Fiction needed this spotlight, it's madly underrated among new manga. Maturely handled character dramas and creative visual storytelling, Naoki Fujita's dripping with a similar passion to the characters that's just hard to ignore. With an anime confirmed the Million Tag competition it won along with a serialization, it's the next big thing that you can still witness in it's early stages.
As a young person who will (relatively) soon enter adult life, this story looks like a must read to me ! Especially with how many project and ideas I have in my head.
I hope you find a way to get them out of your head, but don't forget to have fun and take care of yourself too! We're all trying to figure all this shit out too so take your time.
This really hits home, thank you for making this video. I'll make sure to read this manga. I also have a dream of being an animator like the protag. My drive for it was lost during most of my highschool years and now I'm studying to finish my studies because I don't have my HS diploma. A spark grew in me a 2 months ago and I spend most of my free time studying art and playing video games haha. This is making me realize that It's not to late for me, I'm still young being only 19...but I felt like It was hopeless because I compare myself to others a lot. I hope this vid gets more traction because man this hit me like truck-kun
Great video Gigguk. But I'm going to play devil's advocate here and say I wish we had more stories about not achieving your dreams. There are far too many stories that are about "pursue your passion" and "go for your dream" but we rarely get stories about how its okay to not have a grand dream and that life isn't always about the pursuit. What I love about Pixar's animated movie "Soul" is that pursuing a dream is great and all, but it is more valuable to just being able to just live and experience life. That just being a decent human being and helping/inspiring others is just as meaningful as your personal embodied ambition. A dream is just one aspect of your life, it shouldn't define your actions or outlook on life.
But that would also probably lead to people using that as an excuse to themselves for why they didn’t try harder to achieve their goals. Honestly that type of mentality doesn’t really work for me and a lot of people, as not having a goal to work towards makes you feel lost and directionless. It can also lead to you hating yourself and telling yourself that “your just an unmotivated person that doesn’t have any courage” I agree that a dream isn’t the only important thing but it is certainly one of the most important things that defines your life, after all whether you follow and achieve your dreams determines the entire future of your life.
Solanin is what you're looking for. A perfect look at what happens when shit doesn't work out and you're just forced to fall back in line to do what everyone else does, but that doesn't necessarily mean you have to give up on life.
What matters not if you reach your dreams, what matters that you simply tried too make it. To those who beat themselves over failing to achieve a goal or dream. Please, from one tortured dreamer to another. Rest your demons within, even if it’s just saying I love myself while in the mirror, that’s one more step to personal salvation.

I wasn’t planning on spending the morning shoving my breakfast into my mouth while crying my eyes out but here i am! Where can i read this manga without pirating it cause i’d like to support this debuting artist lol
Man I read this one before this video is posted and thinking why this one is unpopular, thanks gigguk for making this one popular i really liked this series!
Hell yeah. THis manga dropped onto my radar from basically out of nowhere and it's been in my top list of reads for a while now. Glad you're spotlighting it, Garnt!
As someone who also in a kind of crossroads with whether or not to pursue my dreams, this Manga looks like it might hit close to home for me too! I can't wait to check it out! Thanks for another awesome Manga recommendation Gigguk! :)
Gigguk Never Disappoints 🗿 Dragon Ball Daima, Link Click, Demon Slayer Season 3, Pluto, Frieren Beyond the End, Vinland Saga Season 2, One Piece (whatever season it was), Attack on Titan Season Finale, and Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 are the peak anime of this year and are enough to provide an intriguing experience ❤
*All dreams, no matter how big or small, are valid.* I love this quote so much. My close friends for 10 years didn't believe in what I want to do, then lecture me to get a normal day job which I had before and quit to pursue my dreams and goals. They then asked me whats my current goals, which I said short term goal is to get a new TV, long term dream is to get recognize by game companies and do commissions for them. They straight up insulted them and said those aren't dreams or goals, and kept saying they are lecturing me cause they care. Well they aren't my friends anymore. Now I got a new 4k Sony TV, got recognized from hoyoverse and nikke to be part of their content creator program and got even commissions, 1 year after that argument with my ex besties. SO KEEP HUSTLING! even if your close friends don't believe in you, you have to keep that spark alive like what gigguk said!
I’m 100% reading the entire manga now. For me, I never have any motivation cause it always felt better to be ridiculed and mocked for your lack of enthusiasm or motivation that being mocked despite having genuinely tried and put in hard work and effort
@@WidenedVirtuebut it does make sense. People do mock someone who tries hard if they don't like what is done. Or you can just try and fail and be mocked for that. Both feel terrible
@@WidenedVirtue Bro wdym? That’s just how it is for me, idk why you felt the need to ridicule me for that. As for why I feel this way, when I get ridiculed for not having tried, I don’t feel as hurt because I also agree with why they ridicule me. Also the fact that I know they’re going to ridicule me makes it hurt less. Whereas when I get ridiculed despite having tried, it fucking hurts. That’s what leads most people myself included to lose all confidence in themselves.
Idk nigga, that's kinda trash thinking. Why do you care about what people around you think about your efforts lol, your efforts should be to better yourself. The people around you are temporary, the efforts you put in now are permanent. Anyways bro, good luck on fixing that L mindset!! @@googoogaagaa-fk3rh
@@WidenedVirtue I mean you tried writing a comment and wrote stupid shit. Could've written something better, but didn't. Trying and failing feels more embarrassing than not trying, as you can see.
You know when people say "he's literally me fr"? The main protagonist is literally me, like actually me. I started sobbing half way thru the video because dude is literally me fr.
Man...the moment he said that the protagonist wanted to be an animator I felt a twitch in my heart. I'm currently working as an illustrator for a game dev company but all I really wanted to do was animation. I was able to do a bit of animation in the current job I'm in but it wasn't the same. I felt like I didn't have enough skills to do what I really want so I stopped pursuing it. This manga seems right up my alley but I'm afraid of what kinda impact it would have on me. But fuck it, if it scares me just by the idea of reading it, maybe there's a deeper part in me who still wants to fulfill my dreams, no?
Damn... I wanted what you have right now but i only started learning how to draw during covid so i don't really have all the skills needed to be a professional illustrator. Kinda putting that dream aside for now to pursue a more achievable job but I hope I can still do it someday. Hope it works out for you too.
I don't know how this happens, but Garnt, somehow everytime you come out with a video about a manga or an anime, it hits the spot for me. I'm currently trying to make a career for myself in music after putting it off for 10 years, it has always been my passion and I just now got the courage to finally go all the way. I am not however stuck in past and beating myself up for not trying, I am optimistic and I want to try and become an artist that can be proud of their work. after 10+ years of playing instruments and learning as a musician i am finally there. And somehow you still release a video that is relevant to how life is going, even after all this change.
7:06 - This right here is what caught me. "Fully visualize a path to that dream of yours" is a nice platitude, but depending on your dream, can be next to impossible. How does one visualize a path they have no knowledge of? Or for that matter, no knowledge of where to even find the necessary knowledge? "You don't know, what you don't know" as the saying goes. Lots of people dream about wanting to astronauts, but almost no one understand the full path required to reach it, and the path itself is not exactly widespread public knowledge, at least not in any meaningful detail. There are plenty of other examples too, and some dreams are more clear-cut than others, but for many, finding the path to the dream is harder than walking the path itself.
Gigguk is that one person who you relate to the most about anime and manga, whenever im watching his videos i go " wow he got that right". He hits the right balance between degenerate (in a funny way) and maturity/sense. He's like that one person you could talk about anime and manga with for hours. Also ALL his recommendations are top tier.
I've cried so many times reading this manga I actually can't believe this is Naoki-sensei's debut manga because this story is incredible I'm so glad it didn't get axed and that it resonates with so many readers being successful thus far I beg a studio picks this up and adapts it into an anime deffo a story that many more need to see for themselves!!!
Yeah... it's like getting bombarded with positivity and inspiration but not seeing how that can be applicable or relatable so I just feel like missing out on that good stuff, still feels pretty cathartic somehow

Man, it hits hard even for me.
I am 26 years, but I still have the mentality of a child with hopes and dreams. My goals and ambitions aren't even materialistic ones, in the sense of finding something a passion that you will put into work. Rather than that, I had simple goal in life.To enjoy every bit of happy thing with my closest friends and family. I always had nostalgic sentiments over memories of the past that I didn't thought that someday would end. However, times have changed. People who supported me have move out, or are not longer with me, and the things I enjoyed eroded away over time. Ever since, the feeling of loneliness and sadness has turned into catalytic depression, which hardly I can pull off against. Still, deep down, I believe I have a hope of finding the simplest joy in life. It's probably the reason I remember my dreams in my sleep.
Keep your mentality childish, as for kids are super joyful over the most simple things. You got this!^^
Do what you want to do, who care. If someone leave, you can find another and make them happy with you. The memories is beautiful because you cant experience it again, but dont let them root you in place. Life have much more thing you can enjoy, who can stop you to find it?
I feel you brother…but we shall move forward. Keep your head up mate!
Same age, same thought, I'm relieved that you exist stranger! Whatever your dream is, I hope you'll achieve it
I'm very sorry to hear that. Unfortunately, the only constant in life is change. I, too, once lost nearly everything important to me. I allowed myself to tell myself that it was okay to lose everything, and that I had no choice, and deserved no better. It was a version of the truth. Another version of the truth was that it wasn't okay, and that I did deserve better.
Eventually I took steps towards progression, and found new things to buoy me and give me new fond memories and feelings. Some of those things are now gone now, and I look back on them with fondness and sadness. Things aren't great right now. But I keep putting one foot in front of the other, and I keep doing what I can to help others and be kind. Then, at least, no matter what, I will never have regrets.
Remember. The only constant is change. What goes down, can go up, and will feel all the better for it. But when you're up, my advice is to try to build yourself a boat to shield yourself from the next downswell.
Oh boy, time for Gigguk to change my life again like he did after the “A Place Further than the Universe” video.
Yesss
God that video script was so well made. That one and the "Your perfect anime doesn't exist" (the your name one) are my all time fav scripts of his.

As someone who struggles with maintaining motivation, this couldnt have come at a better time :)
Honestly, motivation is over-rated and any attempts to maintain it are futile. Especially when people WAIT for the motivation to come before they START. Maybe it comes; maybe it doesn't. Doesn't really matter because even if it does come, it won't stay.
The key is to work on DISCIPLINE. That is something tangible that you can actually start out with the SMALLEST of things and work on being consistent with it. Then you expand on that. As an example, I work out 4 days a week with the only allowable excuse is if I am sick. I don't care how much I worked that day. I don't care how tired I feel. If it is a gym day, I am forcing myself to go. Even if I only do half of what I normally would. I am doing SOMETHING. Trust me when I say there are plenty of days where I do not have the motivation. Can't find it. Can't squeeze it from anywhere. Can't buy it. Can't borrow it. It's the DISCIPLINE that carries me through those days.
The other VITAL part of this is when you are first starting out, you HAVE to allow yourself to fail sometimes because you likely will. And that is ok. Just try again and fail again. You aren't a lazy piece of shit. You just aren't accustomed to this change you are trying to make which is normal. I used the gym as an example but it applies to whatever way you want to improve yourself.
There are 4 things that you need in order to improve ANYTHING, including yourself:
1) Time - for obvious reasons.
2) Patience - probably the most important of all.
3) Creativity - improvement is a problem and problems need solutions and coming up with a solution to a problem is a creative process.
4) Ingenuity - the "other side of the coin" for number 3. Coming up with a solution is one thing but it means nothing if you can't implement it.
Lame example of number 4:
I have discovered that an internal combustion engine, ICE, can run on sadness and disappointment, BUT, I don't know how to modify a car's engine to accommodate for this. I discovered a solution to a problem (energy in this dumb example), but can't modify or invent an engine to make it happen. Creativity without ingenuity.
The other thing to remember is that you don't have to do it alone. Seek assistance from others that have been there and done that. If not people, then books. If not books, then maybe a youtube tutorial. Resources are out there.
@@jujupants2486 well said
bruh, mc clearly never heard of mappa before😞. sigh! but it could be great read idk
Description "unless you have a cute anime girl to sort you out of course" is 110% scientifically accurate
it probably helps but I think the more important aspect is that there is someone who is helping you even just by listening to what you are trying to do. because doing something on your own with no one to talk to, no one to share what you are going through is what generally people who "give up" on their dreams experience. When the only feetback loop you have is negative trying to achieve your dream becomes just pain.
Gigguk honestly undersells Nico in this video. She's much more than an MPDG trope as a competently written character herself
@Kyyon_ yea, fair. he does allude to nico's own character arc anyway tho
@@KatamuroTheFirst This is certainly where I'm at. At some point failing so many times becomes too painful to bear alone, and yet there's no one to turn to who I can believe in... who can convince me that there's any hope things will get better. At some point it becomes easier and safer to just be numb, empty. Support is important but an all too rare commodity. I hate knowing other people are experiencing that too. I don't wish this crippling despair on anyone, especially because it feels like a hole that's impossible to escape from. Support is rarer commodity still to people who can't bring themselves to try, and therefore don't have any opportunities to be seen.
The fact that Nico is voiced by Sydney here reminds me that it was his lover-then-fiancée-now-wife that gave him a big push to pursue something else for his career, as Garnt says in his "Why I Left the BBC" video, is a pretty match from manga to real life.
Thanks for this gigguk. I recently failed a semester at uni, and I felt like shit because it felt like I could never keep going. That I'd just keep failing if I tried. Not only this, but my partner of 4 years left. And it feels as though it's my fault. But I've been trying to use the loss of him as a driving force to continue my work and continue my dream. And then this pops up in my feed. And maybe it's stupid, but maybe in some way, the universe is telling me that I shouldn't give up. I just need to put my all into this. Thank you to anyone who bothered to read this ❤
keep going buddy
@@danisob3633 Thank you. And you too. Best wishes.
Damn that’s scarily close to me lol. But we’ll pull through somehow. I’ve ended up reconnecting more with an old friend like I’d always wanted to but just never did.
@flixelgato1288 That's good for you. I've been talking a lot with a new friend, and that's helped me as well. Having someone to talk to is always good.
Hey stranger. I've dropped out of university four times. I was on academic probation multiple times. I had to retake almost an entire year of a degree because I failed one course. I've had to give up on dreams, I've failed once-in-a-lifetime auditions I spent thousands of dollars to attend.
I have two degrees, a loving partner, and a job I wake up every morning feeling blessed to get to go to, because I love every day doing it. It takes time. It took years and years to get here. It was not easy, fast, or painless, but you can get there. And when you do, everything you went through will feel like a distant memory of a past life.
Stay strong and keep pushing through. Get some sunlight, talk to a therapist, and if you need time away from school, do it.
It’s always a good day when gigguk posts a video with an onimous title about a random manga that’s probably gonna get a giant anime adaptation in 2 years

You pretty much summed up all my feelings about this series. I found myself relating so much to Tatsuhiko about all the dreams and passions I have and I never ended up pursuing and this series made me want to give an attempt at it. Still trying to find/make the time to do it, but little by little, it could all turn out fruitful.
A Netflix anime adaptation is in the works and I know this story is worth it!
Man, this video was providential. It's exactly what I needed. I have been looking for something exactly like this and been feeling the creative itch recently. Thank you, Gigguk.
Being 25 and having the mentality since 18 of just kinda gliding through life. I have never really had an ambition, I enjoy things, and will start things but I lose a drive to continue and bad habits distract me again with days passing without notice. Part of this is that mentality of "I can't fail if I never actually commit to anything." and another is just being self-defeating of myself. I am very aware of all this, have been for over 5 years, but I'm also in a weird state.. of being okay with it. I don't even know what I'm trying to say in the comment just felt like rambling. Just the video brought the thoughts to me as I reflect in them a lot.
22 here, kind of had that gliding through life strategy my entire life, it starts to get annoying honestly. I find it most easy to be productive if I have someone telling me what to do who I agree with, and recently I had a teacher who forced me to take physical notes on my project progress and signed them weekly. While annoying at first, I understood the purpose of documentation and followed through. After 3 weeks it kind of reignited some passion, I'm about to take my bachelor degree next semester and this is a strategy I will use, and hopefully I'll create a habit for everyday life.
Highly recommend for anyone who have tried digital note taking apps to document their thoughts, but ultimately failed at the end. Buy a notebook with a good pen, find a suitable mentor/companion/friend who are willing to read your journey and let them sign it every time they read it, they don't even need to give feedback if you don't want to (but it's recommended). You commit your progress, doesn't matter if it is towards a dream or something else, but as long as you do something you will feel the weight of going forward. Hope this inspires, but my comment will probably sink in the depths of the internet 😅cheers!
Same, but im 33
Damn you just described me too. 22 here.
Though it hasn't been long since I was 18 as I am 19 right now, but I absolutely feel like I might be heading in that direction
I mean if it failing like in the manga its ok, but being dropped out of medical school really not that fun, i realised it only in my 20, don't even know what to do now
You may not achieve your dreams, but you should never stop dreaming, because someday the dream will end
I think people should quite dreaming and start view every thing with reality and calculate the amount work they need to put for anything they desire
the truth is not a single dream is worth all the effort that it will take. not a single one of them
but you still gotta dream regardless and work your damndest best to get it it, for you and for everyone else you care about and hope to care about in the future

I just have to give a shoutout to Gigguk - the guy's talent for selling manga and anime is absolutely insane! His passion and charisma make even the most skeptical folks curious about diving into the world of anime.
On a side note, the journey in Beats And Motion is a reminder that even if we don't always achieve our dreams, it's crucial never to stop dreaming. Dreams have a funny way of evolving, and sometimes the journey itself is the most valuable part. As the story shows us, the dream may not last forever, but the experiences and lessons gained along the way are priceless.
Keep dreaming, keep exploring, and who knows, the adventure might just lead you to unexpected and incredible places!
Wow. I know this is just confirmation bias, but this video came to me in the exact day that I decided to let go of my dreams. I want to be a mathematician, and I am currently doing a PhD. Nothing seems to be working out. It was a project that I was mostly proud of when I started doing it (I somehow got it funded). Unfortunately, I was also pretty much alone for the most part of the PhD journey. No real friends, no true adviser too. But it was no fault of the people around me. I fancied myself as an independent researcher. I could more-or-less understand most of the mathematics that I read if I spend my time on it, but producing one is a completely different thing. I had ideas but I couldn't follow through them because of crippling anxiety. I just kept bouncing around from topic to topic and paper to paper. Never truly learning anything substantial.
Today I decided to give up. But I can't after all. Math was everything for me for almost a decade now. I am still not that good. However, I want to honestly try again, one more time. I just want to finish writing my dissertation. For now I will work for one more year. I will use all the resources that I actually have. I will no longer pretend to be the cool independent student. I want to change.
I don't know if I will make it or not, but I will be back here. Thanks Gigguk.
Cheering for ya, man. Whatever happens, happens. I wish you the best of luck on your path!
we all gonna make it
Never though I'd see Gigguk gas up Beat & Motion, but honestly this series is a pretty grounded (for the shounen demographic at least) take on the journey of reaching dreams within the entertainment industry including all of its external obstacles, hardships, self-doubts, insecurities, and etc. Some at first considered the prologue and earlier parts to be way too fast (considering how the male MC managed to transition from band work to animation pretty quickly in spite of his lack of practice over the years) but other than that, the rest of the journey is pretty well-paced and gives (near) equal focus to both protagonists in spite of their different goals (helps that their goals all supplement each other so they'll still be interacting even if they're apart at times). In a genre involving music and animation, I believe that this manga would benefit from an animated adaptation as a means to convey the art of the mcs.
Beat & Motion will an anime adaption. Since it won an event with the grand prize winner getting ¥5,000,000 in cash, a chance to serialize their manga on Shōnen Jump+ with at least one tankōbon volume being published, and an anime adaptation from Netflix.
Unfortunately Beat & Motion perform badly on Japan version of Shonen Jump+. It rank at 122th place, latest chapter achieve around 150k view.
For comparison, Marriagetoxin and Make the exorcist fall in love each ranked at 14th and 18th place while the latest chapter have 800k view and 700k each respectively.
Thank you Gigguk for this video, I'll remember this for the rest of my life. This video inspires me to try harder on my dream now that I am currently dropped out of college. I'll use this break to make a name for myself before going back to uni. Thankyou again sir gigguk

Finally a video on a series I already follow! i'm on the INSIDE now!
Beat & Motion very quickly became one of my favorite currently releasing series when I picked it up. The way it presents fear of chasing your dreams and the will to overcome it is so moving. It's a phenomenal story and definitely worth a read for anyone.
You are such an incredible script writer Garnt. All of your videos somehow find a way to give me the hard feels that make me want to do better, and keep trying.
Me: starts my day with unfazed motivation.
Gigguk: give up
Been reading Beat & Motion since chapter 1, very happy to see gigguk review it, literally just started the video. Hopefully this trend of everything he reviews becomes popular and gets an anime continues with this.
This is the first time I've cried to one of your videos. I think it's because of probably the subject matter, it felt like this was a story you were telling about me, down to the last detail. Not in a metaphorical sense, either. Growing up I wanted to be an animator, and make anime, and then that dream sort of shifted to music after it died out. As a music producer, I've recently been picking up animation again, and I've been working on the storyboards for music videos.
I'm similar to who this story is about, in the sense that I'm a dreamer, with huge ambitions and goals that I've found it easy to lose hope in. Many scrapped ideas, many unfinished projects and many half baked and half rendered tests fill my uninspiring and unreleased portfolio, and I have nothing to show for those dreams. But sometime within the last few years, I did have a dream. Not like in the sense of a desire or aspiration, an actual dream.
The dream came after watching the anime "A place further than the universe", in which I saw the northern lights for the first time. I kept having this dream for weeks, and one morning, I got up and said "I'm gonna do it." So I looked it up and did all the research, plans changed from norway, to iceland to alaska to sweden to back to norway again, and years passed as the idea seemed to fade into impossibility. The dreams stopped too, for a while. But they did come back, showing me on the flight, and it would always be the same dream of me, getting to the airport, getting on the plane, and then waking up before arriving.
This really frustrated me, and I started to feel that mindset of 'I'm just gonna do it' coming back, and so I did just go and do it. I'm 18 years old, and so you can imagine it wasn't super easy, but on the 26th of september this year, I'd completed my first ever big life dream. It changed me in a way, since when I came back on that flight, I was listening to a song. Porter Robinson - Look at the sky, for anyone who's curious, and ideas flooded my head. Ideas for a music video, shot for shot, every little sequence and detail was in my head and I could see it vividly. I guess I felt my passion for being creative come back in that instant. I'm working on it still, and it's not been easy, but It's going to get done.
I guess TL:DR. I didn't believe in myself to be able to complete my dreams of being an animator, or a musician, or a photographer or artist or to be able to see the northern lights. But seeing the northern lights set me into motion in a way, similar to how the girl did in this story. Thank you for reading. I may have to read this manga :)
This title is so inspirational. I will adhere to these words for the rest of my life. Thank you Gigguk
"I'm actually a fly" - sounds like something a bee might say.
It's insane how much more progress I've made after starting to believe in myself. It's not easy but as long as I give myself the slightest bit of faith then even if it takes a long time and I fall over many pitfalls... I'll get there one day :D
It's the unknown that scares us and not want to try anything. We look at other people's success and see them as perfectly polished with no flaws. We don't know how long we'll be climbing to reach our goals or if we can even reach them at all, so then we decide to give up them because it's feels better that way, more within our comfort zone.
Never give up. Everyone begins at the starting line, but it's your choice to see when you cross the finish line. And then when you do, ask yourself this: Am I really done?
Thank you Gigguk. I needed this kind of reminders. I have been at a slump with both college and work. In College I hit a roadblock in my research and at work I have been sent home for almost a month with my pay being held up. My only source of income recently was voice over job that should help get past 1-2 weeks. I don't want to give up, but I am at the phase of 'what's the point of working hard if you aren't getting any rewards.'

Let's go! Glad someone is talking about beat and motion. Saw the first chapter on viz when it came out and have been keeping up since and I've loved it with every release. As a mid twenties adult I related right from the start. I had no motivation and didn't enjoy any of my hobbies. But this has sparked me to get back into stuff I used to enjoy and enjoy it for the sake of my own enjoyment.
12:02 that english bloke is an absolute inspiration
I came across this manga when it was about 10 chapters in, I've been keeping up with it ever since and it's the one (along with chainsaw man) that finally convinced me to read more manga. As someone who wants to create and make fun and personal things this manga hits hard and true. It's so easy to be distracted or discouraged by everything I see and take in around me and it's led me into a creatively dead cycle. But this manga helps to remind me that it is possible to follow through with the dreams I want to achieve, but it will take a lot of hard work.
Don't mind me while I write down to remind myself to reread all those earlier chapters again

Thanks Subaru
I appreciate your kind words, Subaru
There's many stoies about achieving dreams and never giving up, but I never found one that explores what it's like not having a dream.
I don't mean someone who gave up on their future, I mean someone who never had a dream or something that they wish to do. I personally am like this so I'm not able to relate to stories like this one and I'm always courious as to why nobody talks about this, am I the only one who doesn't have a dream? idk but I hope to one day find a story about my mindset
yeah it's all about ambitions, but what if you're not that kind of person ? I always felt something was wrong with me because of it, especially when you're surrounded by people that are so passionate about things Y or Z and you just.... exist.
The bit of having a dream to guide you is so important. During school I was shunted along from class to class and grade to grade with everyone else. I had a purpose that was given to me and instead of dreaming about what *I* wanted to be I played out the dreams of the people in stories. Then when the time came to spread my wings and fly with the rest of my classmates, I crashed, and I crashed quickly. That was about a decade ago and the experience still haunts me in an almost palpable way.
And to _keep dreaming._ If the extent of your ambition is “graduate school”, “join the workforce”, “don’t end up in the bread line”, etc.
It's always nice and different to see when gigguk covers a manga that i already been reading than vice versa
I barely read Manga's, but this is the first Manga that I took interest in Reading a few months ago. It was exactly around the time when I had finished my finals and was feeling like I wasn't good at anything while everyone else I knew was doing better than me, and had planned their future. This manga really hit different for me, I am glad I found interest in it. Can't wait for the Anime adaptation!
What's the manga name
@@megyyh Beat & Motion
1:20 that integration was smooth as butter
Peak & Fiction needed this spotlight, it's madly underrated among new manga. Maturely handled character dramas and creative visual storytelling, Naoki Fujita's dripping with a similar passion to the characters that's just hard to ignore. With an anime confirmed the Million Tag competition it won along with a serialization, it's the next big thing that you can still witness in it's early stages.
Yoooo, never expected Gigguk to talk about this masterpiece
It's one of those mangas where you read and think "what am i doing"
i kid u not i got this video at 2:00am . really spooked me. thanks again grant for another clutch video and recommendation
0:22 me watching this at 2am on a chair and not in a bed 🗿
As a young person who will (relatively) soon enter adult life, this story looks like a must read to me ! Especially with how many project and ideas I have in my head.
I hope you find a way to get them out of your head, but don't forget to have fun and take care of yourself too! We're all trying to figure all this shit out too so take your time.
@@splitprunethank you for these very kind words ! I wish you the best ❤
It’s simple, Gigguk recommends a manga and I read it
This really hits home, thank you for making this video. I'll make sure to read this manga. I also have a dream of being an animator like the protag. My drive for it was lost during most of my highschool years and now I'm studying to finish my studies because I don't have my HS diploma. A spark grew in me a 2 months ago and I spend most of my free time studying art and playing video games haha. This is making me realize that It's not to late for me, I'm still young being only 19...but I felt like It was hopeless because I compare myself to others a lot. I hope this vid gets more traction because man this hit me like truck-kun
Been reading this since it hit the app and im happy to see this series getting love. Very well put together.
Great video Gigguk. But I'm going to play devil's advocate here and say I wish we had more stories about not achieving your dreams. There are far too many stories that are about "pursue your passion" and "go for your dream" but we rarely get stories about how its okay to not have a grand dream and that life isn't always about the pursuit. What I love about Pixar's animated movie "Soul" is that pursuing a dream is great and all, but it is more valuable to just being able to just live and experience life. That just being a decent human being and helping/inspiring others is just as meaningful as your personal embodied ambition. A dream is just one aspect of your life, it shouldn't define your actions or outlook on life.
But that would also probably lead to people using that as an excuse to themselves for why they didn’t try harder to achieve their goals.
Honestly that type of mentality doesn’t really work for me and a lot of people, as not having a goal to work towards makes you feel lost and directionless.
It can also lead to you hating yourself and telling yourself that “your just an unmotivated person that doesn’t have any courage”
I agree that a dream isn’t the only important thing but it is certainly one of the most important things that defines your life, after all whether you follow and achieve your dreams determines the entire future of your life.
Solanin is what you're looking for. A perfect look at what happens when shit doesn't work out and you're just forced to fall back in line to do what everyone else does, but that doesn't necessarily mean you have to give up on life.
Would enjoy Madao stories if there is another one

What matters not if you reach your dreams, what matters that you simply tried too make it. To those who beat themselves over failing to achieve a goal or dream. Please, from one tortured dreamer to another. Rest your demons within, even if it’s just saying I love myself while in the mirror, that’s one more step to personal salvation.
Thank you. The inner demons have been getting quite loud lately and I've been questioning many things. I hope this mindset will help me.

I wasn’t planning on spending the morning shoving my breakfast into my mouth while crying my eyes out but here i am!
Where can i read this manga without pirating it cause i’d like to support this debuting artist lol
Man I read this one before this video is posted and thinking why this one is unpopular, thanks gigguk for making this one popular i really liked this series!
Hell yeah. THis manga dropped onto my radar from basically out of nowhere and it's been in my top list of reads for a while now. Glad you're spotlighting it, Garnt!
As someone who also in a kind of crossroads with whether or not to pursue my dreams, this Manga looks like it might hit close to home for me too! I can't wait to check it out! Thanks for another awesome Manga recommendation Gigguk! :)
Keep up the good work appreciate your input.
Gigguk Never Disappoints 🗿
Dragon Ball Daima, Link Click, Demon Slayer Season 3, Pluto, Frieren Beyond the End, Vinland Saga Season 2, One Piece (whatever season it was), Attack on Titan Season Finale, and Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 are the peak anime of this year and are enough to provide an intriguing experience ❤
yo apothecary diaries is pretty solid too
Wait Dragon Ball Daima is already out?
@@ShadowOfMassDestructionlmfao he means the trailer would be crazy tho
AOT lauded as a decent anime? I don't want that, I want it to be remembered as Attack on Mid, for 10 years at least
@@thewingedone1172 it might be too late but why u hating bro💀
Itsumo no Fuukei fading it at 11:37 hits hard. Certified Haruhi OST classic
*All dreams, no matter how big or small, are valid.* I love this quote so much. My close friends for 10 years didn't believe in what I want to do, then lecture me to get a normal day job which I had before and quit to pursue my dreams and goals. They then asked me whats my current goals, which I said short term goal is to get a new TV, long term dream is to get recognize by game companies and do commissions for them. They straight up insulted them and said those aren't dreams or goals, and kept saying they are lecturing me cause they care. Well they aren't my friends anymore.
Now I got a new 4k Sony TV, got recognized from hoyoverse and nikke to be part of their content creator program and got even commissions, 1 year after that argument with my ex besties. SO KEEP HUSTLING! even if your close friends don't believe in you, you have to keep that spark alive like what gigguk said!
I’m 100% reading the entire manga now.
For me, I never have any motivation cause it always felt better to be ridiculed and mocked for your lack of enthusiasm or motivation that being mocked despite having genuinely tried and put in hard work and effort
Reread this to yourself bro and ask if this makes sense. bro would rather be mocked for lack of motivation than be mocked for trying hard WHAT!!!
@@WidenedVirtuebut it does make sense. People do mock someone who tries hard if they don't like what is done. Or you can just try and fail and be mocked for that. Both feel terrible
@@WidenedVirtue Bro wdym? That’s just how it is for me, idk why you felt the need to ridicule me for that.
As for why I feel this way, when I get ridiculed for not having tried, I don’t feel as hurt because I also agree with why they ridicule me.
Also the fact that I know they’re going to ridicule me makes it hurt less.
Whereas when I get ridiculed despite having tried, it fucking hurts. That’s what leads most people myself included to lose all confidence in themselves.
Idk nigga, that's kinda trash thinking. Why do you care about what people around you think about your efforts lol, your efforts should be to better yourself. The people around you are temporary, the efforts you put in now are permanent. Anyways bro, good luck on fixing that L mindset!! @@googoogaagaa-fk3rh
@@WidenedVirtue I mean you tried writing a comment and wrote stupid shit. Could've written something better, but didn't. Trying and failing feels more embarrassing than not trying, as you can see.
I've been reading this manga since chapter one. Glad to see it get this recognition
You know when people say "he's literally me fr"?
The main protagonist is literally me, like actually me. I started sobbing half way thru the video because dude is literally me fr.
Never stop doing this type of video man. I always look forward to them
The "He was." at 5:23 made me tear up :')
ty Gigguk!!
Man...the moment he said that the protagonist wanted to be an animator I felt a twitch in my heart. I'm currently working as an illustrator for a game dev company but all I really wanted to do was animation. I was able to do a bit of animation in the current job I'm in but it wasn't the same. I felt like I didn't have enough skills to do what I really want so I stopped pursuing it. This manga seems right up my alley but I'm afraid of what kinda impact it would have on me. But fuck it, if it scares me just by the idea of reading it, maybe there's a deeper part in me who still wants to fulfill my dreams, no?
Damn... I wanted what you have right now but i only started learning how to draw during covid so i don't really have all the skills needed to be a professional illustrator. Kinda putting that dream aside for now to pursue a more achievable job but I hope I can still do it someday. Hope it works out for you too.
I don't know how this happens, but Garnt, somehow everytime you come out with a video about a manga or an anime, it hits the spot for me. I'm currently trying to make a career for myself in music after putting it off for 10 years, it has always been my passion and I just now got the courage to finally go all the way. I am not however stuck in past and beating myself up for not trying, I am optimistic and I want to try and become an artist that can be proud of their work. after 10+ years of playing instruments and learning as a musician i am finally there. And somehow you still release a video that is relevant to how life is going, even after all this change.
wasnt the title "you will never achieve anything in life" and the thumbnail saying "give up"
Thanks for making this video
I started watching this manga about a month ago and i am glad that its getting recognized
7:06 - This right here is what caught me. "Fully visualize a path to that dream of yours" is a nice platitude, but depending on your dream, can be next to impossible. How does one visualize a path they have no knowledge of? Or for that matter, no knowledge of where to even find the necessary knowledge? "You don't know, what you don't know" as the saying goes.
Lots of people dream about wanting to astronauts, but almost no one understand the full path required to reach it, and the path itself is not exactly widespread public knowledge, at least not in any meaningful detail. There are plenty of other examples too, and some dreams are more clear-cut than others, but for many, finding the path to the dream is harder than walking the path itself.
Gigguk is that one person who you relate to the most about anime and manga, whenever im watching his videos i go " wow he got that right". He hits the right balance between degenerate (in a funny way) and maturity/sense. He's like that one person you could talk about anime and manga with for hours. Also ALL his recommendations are top tier.
I've cried so many times reading this manga I actually can't believe this is Naoki-sensei's debut manga because this story is incredible I'm so glad it didn't get axed and that it resonates with so many readers being successful thus far I beg a studio picks this up and adapts it into an anime deffo a story that many more need to see for themselves!!!
Welp do i have some news for you then. Netflix anime adaption is coming. Unsure of which studio though.
Even when you're thinking of giving up... Or if you feel like there's no hope... You must not quit.
>wanting to be an animator
>Grows up
>No longer wishes to be an animator
That's fair, given what we know about the industry.
Glad to see you changed the title and thumbnail, I don't need my personal demons in my youtube feed as well.
Uplifting videos and themes never fail to send me into a depression spiral. 😅
Yeah... it's like getting bombarded with positivity and inspiration but not seeing how that can be applicable or relatable so I just feel like missing out on that good stuff, still feels pretty cathartic somehow
It’s great seeing gigguk slowly turn into a more and more of a manga fan
"Life pretty damn OP" has got to be the best line I've heard this entire year
0:39 you know what you are absolutely right, my final year major project can wait i gotta read more manga
This one is gonna have so much feels, I’ll start this weekend
Just reading the title, I know it's gonna be a banger.
I have been reading this manga since chapter 1 came out, and I'm so happy this video will show more people this beautiful story
