  • In this episode we’re looking at more Superhero comics with work from Eric Canete, Dexter Soy and Dan Mora Chaves, but also taking a jump into some manga art. I break down some of the incredible art from Yusuke Murata on One Punch Man, Kentaro Miura on Berserk, Hirohiko Araki on the ‘Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure’ spin-off (or however you categorize Steel Ball Run). Plus also a strange look into the bizarre anatomy of Yaoi art.
    In this episode I, as always, talk more about the composition of a bunch of the pieces as well as break down some of the contrast and detailing choices made by the artists. I also talk about more animation stuff and it’s relation to comics in Eric Canete’s work relating to smear frames, as well as the insane animated panels of Yusuke Murata’s work. The Corridor Crew's videos of 'VFX Artists React to Good and Bad Special Effects' as well as LegalEagle’s videos breaking down the use of the law in shows like It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia. Here are links to both of those shows below!

      isekai is probably THE most niche thing you can think of. person gets thrown into an alternate reality, that is an rpg world of warcraft style type world, with overpowered abilities, and has to kill the demon king collecting harem girls along the way. It's so specific, but it's the most popular genre right now, Re:Zero, Konosuba, The Rising of The Shield Hero, and even DB Super are super popular and are all isekai.

    Many of the action piece shots in the One Punch Man anime series were ripped directly from the manga source material. The animators (to an extent) didn't have to work terribly hard to envision the dynamic angles, lighting, movements, etc. Yusuke Murata could sell a manga about bottled water with his paneling.

    I think the reason yaoi art is so strange is because a lot of yaoi is classified as a type of manga called a Doujinshi. Doujinshi manga is unique to other manga because it is self published, and there's no company regulations or quality checks on how they're drawn.

    For the jojo manga you have to take into consideration that there are no canonical colours and there are several colour palats used depending o the publisher.
    So sometimes you have issues coloured under the guide of Araki, but some other times you have unofficial or even fan colouring.
    And you can find colouring that looks fantastic, while others look really blurred for some reason and have background that don't help the colours of the characters, the main focus of the image, to stand out.
    Edit: Also SPOILERS!
    The one character in yellow happens to be female, she is called hot pants and in most cases she is in pink outfit.

    I doubt this will be seen, but I have an answer for you (unproven, I guess... but how can you prove it? I guess you could quantify things through the last 4 decades or something, but that would be a dissertation instead of a youtube comment).
    Shounen Ai and Yaoi largely started off as a sub-culture of Doujinshi (self-published comic art). This particular group has always been a collective of people who 'make things they want because no one else does' (though starting about twenty years ago, doujinshi became a THING and people started to be professional doujinshi artists and so on and so forth, but I digress). Anyway, it's not always been strictly about sex, but it has always been a sort of outlet for fetish culture in Japan (also, a ton of fanart for popular professional manga). Even before the internet, artists could anonymously create things that would be hard to make in public. A byproduct of this is that people who aren't professionally trained can most certainly create those comics that they wish they could read. So, if we follow an imaginary art trajectory for a second:
    1) An artist with a hand fetish creates a story in a yaoi genre, draws the 'aggressive' character with larger than life hands to signify strength (or whatever).
    2) This series becomes popular, either because of the art or because of the story and the artist makes some sort of improvement in their circumstance (sells a lot of doujinshi, gets picked up by a publisher, etc).
    3) Other artists in that circle see success of the original artist and adapt that success to their own work (this includes but is not limited to the anatomy). This is something that actually happens a lot in doujinshi circles since the community is extremely closely nit, sort of like proto-memes. Sometimes it's an attempt to recreate success, and sometimes it's a sort of homage to the original creator of the look.
    4) Changes in anatomy to match certain fetish tropes or to signify what character is the dominant and which is the submissive (this is a yaoi staple with or without exaggerated anatomy) become popular in a growing community of artists and are thus picked up and accepted by the fanbase.
    5) As the genre becomes more mainstream, exaggerations in body parts become "understood" and create a certain unspoken language between reader and artist (a more mainstream example would be feline features on a female character signifying her personality without the need to do anything at all with her actual behavior or dialogue).
    6) To compound this, we also have the larger Shoujo and Jousei genres (intended for girls and women respectively) that already emphasizes certain body parts more than the art intended for boys (which emphasizes other body parts... ahem...). Things like lips, eyes, and hands have come to represent sensuality, kindness, and strength, respectively. This also allows creators to circumvent the expected personalities of their characters by making them NOT adhere to these expectations (strong guy with small hands in a series where other characters have large hands, or, something that has become really popular lately, a character with scary eyes being extremely kind).
    Source: I translated manga for twelve years (over 400 volumes in almost every genre... but never any yaoi, actually...).
    I enjoyed your analysis, btw. You should look at the art of Nodame Cantabile and also something from Oh!Great (I prefer his stuff from the older volumes of Tenjou Tenge, since his newer work has gotten more stylized, but his technique is amazing no matter what you look at). Also, what I find truly interesting about manga art is that there are chances to see the full evolution of an artist from beginner to 30-year-pro. Take Hajime no Ippo for example. It started in the late 1980's and has run continuously since, with the same characters and the same artist. You can see not only how Morikawa has improved as an artist, but you can see how he's been influenced by the styles of the decades and how he's improved his character designs for efficiency.

    10:04 That creature's name is Zodd the Immortal. The purpose for that scene in the manga and newer anime series is to signal that Zodd the Immortal is back. Anyone who's seen Zodd back in the original anime in 1997 or manga when Guts was still in the Band of the Hawk would immediately recognize that terrifying monstrosity.
    For anyone interested in Kentaro Miura's "Berserk", there are Deluxe Editions of the manga coming out that are 7"x10" hard-cover copies of the manga containing three original manga volumes per Deluxe Edition volume, from Dark Horse Manga. For the 40 manga volumes out now, that would be about 13-14 Deluxe Edition volumes, although only Deluxe Edition volumes 1-5 are shown as available for order/pre-order on Amazon.com.

    11:12 When there are characters (letters) used in a scene, it is usually a sound-effect (ex: ka-boom; crash; rustle etc.). It is rhetorically read to give a mood, or give the tone to the setting. The characters used here is called _katakana_ which is the "alphabet", or script, used for syllabic words and borrowed foreign words from other languages. They "spell" out the word if read, to give emphasis sometimes.
    If you read or research more manga, you will notice that sometimes the translator will leave these parts untouched. Sometimes they are aesthetic and juxtaposed for viewing pleasure.

    I'M SO HAPPY! Eric Canete's Spider-Man issue is one of my faves, especially when you read the entire comic as a whole. Like yeah, admittedly it's not one where I'd frame a page and hang it on the wall but when it comes to energy and movement, it's great, and it always hurts a bit whenever I see people hate on it.

    I recommend looking at two amazing female japanese artists, Tomomi Kobayashi from the Romancing Saga and Legend of Legacy video Games , and the other is Ayami Kojima from Castlevania video games, mostly on the Symphony of the Night

      I'll suggest some Oouna, Chunie, Sindoll, and Zaush art to be looked at.

      Also is this the actual Corrsk that haven't posted anything in Furry Amino since forever?

      @@PopCross The manga art featured in this video was very dense and highly detailed. If you want to look at something very much the opposite, look at the cover art for various volumes of the Aoi Hana (Sweet Blue Flowers) manga.
      They look like they're done in watercolors. They're vibrant yet washed out at the same time, and much more minimally detailed.
