I get where you're coming from, and to some extent, I agree! The 2001 version has a brutal and savage tone that makes it iconic. But I personally think the 2021 version stands out for two big reasons. First, it follows the manga's story more closely, letting us see the true narrative with all its depth. Second, it reveals the bigger picture: Hao isn't just a villain but someone fighting against the god figure in the story, which gives his journey a deeper layer. That said, I’m planning a video comparing the 2001 and 2021 anime vs the manga, focusing on their differences and how they align (or don’t) with the manga. Hope to see your thoughts in that video's comments too! Plus, I’d love your feedback on my newer content, where I’m really working on improving the voice acting and scripts.

Yeah what ?

@AzabeReviewsEN Yeah as in you can tell that was the intent because of the tone. This is skin-line, world building, character announcement, portrayal of Noxonian's Kindred AND music video. Riot would always go all out things of this nature. Something like star guardians making a music video doesn't need to be perfect as does a character who is likely only getting this type of treatment once. She is the leader of a legion and the song is to feel the strength needed to lead. Alongside with Arcane releasing it's best to have similar voice actors for a smooth subconscious transition to the in-game voice aswell so you aren't hearing 3-4 different people. Having different sounding voice actors will always cause a disruption when identifying who that character is to you. The closer the actor the closer the character identity is while still reaching different audiences through varying sources of media. So Yeah

I get what you mean now! 😂 Thanks for taking the time to explain-it makes a lot more sense. I was just confused at first when your comment was just 'yeah,' and I was like, 'Yeah what?' But now I totally see your point and completely agree with you! 😄

I couldn’t agree more with you! 😂 Fortiche brought such a unique touch to this series-hard to imagine it being the same with another studio.

@@AzabeReviewsEN For sure

Did you check the video description or watch it fully? If not, let me clarify here-the video focuses only on Season 1 of Arcane, not both seasons. The script was actually written months before Season 2 was even released. I understand your perspective, but the conclusions I shared are based solely on what we saw in Season 1, before the continuation of Jinx and Vi's story in Season 2.

@@AzabeReviewsEN then I take it all back :D

All good , no worries!

Yep , thats why i love this series!

What do you mean, you don’t like Arcane lore? Or do you mean you don’t like Arcane in general? If so, I’d love to know why!

@AzabeReviewsEN arcane don't have ezreal in it 😂

I get what you’re saying, but Arcane was already packed with so much lore that adding champions like Ezreal might’ve made it overwhelming. The story focused on arcane magic and a few key characters to keep it cohesive. Since more animated series are confirmed for the future, there’s a chance we’ll see champions like Ezreal in their own stories!

@@AzabeReviewsEN thank you 😊

No problem!

Wait, what? What do you mean? 😅🤣 I don’t remember mentioning any real-life country, but I’m really sorry if it reminded you of something you were trying to forget. Hope the rest of the video was more enjoyable for you! 🤣❤️

It was sarcasm ​@@AzabeReviewsEN

​@@lisarice1435 Haha, I know, bro, I know. Wasn’t the “🤣” emoji obvious enough? But hey, fair enough-I’ll try to make my sarcasm a bit more explicit in future replies.

@@AzabeReviewsEN indeed

@@AzabeReviewsEN and no the emojis weren't enough I can't tell 🤷

I am not a native speaker like u my dude , english is not my first language , no need to be so agressive ! LUL 😂😂😂😂

What do you mean? I literally said Fire Punch is one of the best manga I’ve read, easily in my top 10, and maybe even a contender for top 10 manga of all time. I even gave it a perfect 10! If that doesn’t scream ‘masterpiece,’ I’m not sure what would. Could you explain what you mean? I’m a bit confused. 🤔

LOL😂, why do you think that? From what I’ve seen and heard from others, it’s definitely not dogshit-maybe confusing at times, sure, but not like you’re describing. It’s got some wild moments, but I wouldn’t go that far. 😂

Are you sure about this? From what I remember, it was a man wanting to transition to a woman. Am I really remembering this wrong?

@@AzabeReviewsEN how did you get this so wrong? togata is a transman meaning he has a brain of a "man" always identified as a man deep inside despite being born w a woman's body but unable to transition into a man because even if he does get a sex change his regeneration power would jus make his body revert to female body

@@knoxxx272 Oops, my bad! I did some research and realized I got it wrong-thanks for catching that. Togata really is a trans man, identifying as male even though he was born in a female body, and his regeneration would undo any physical changes. Not sure why I remembered it differently, but I appreciate you pointing it out!

He/She want a d*ck, but didn't get

I totally agree! Pure maniacal genius at its finest! 🤣

Thank you so much! 😊 Honestly, that’s a huge compliment, it means a lot that you thought the quality was up there with the big channels! Haha, I'm working on getting the word out, so every comment like yours really helps. Glad you enjoyed it, and hope to see you around in the comments again!

What do you mean by that? 😅 Who’s the GOAT of the series in your opinion?

The 1000 year old crazy director

But I mentioned him in the spoiler section-didn’t you catch that? 😆Are you not referring to the guy who wants to be born a woman and has regenerative powers?

You kinda didn't explain his motivation and importance in the story and his character too , he was the most detailed character in the manga character wise

@@Aufgerieben Yeah, I see what you mean, but that’s a bit intentional. I don’t want to give away all the details in my review videos, because if I do, it might spoil the impact for you. For each series, I plan to make follow-up videos with more detailed explanations and discussions, and in those, I’ll mention that people new to the series should watch the review first. This way, they can still experience the same impact I did. That’s also why my videos have spoiler and non-spoiler sections. Hope that clears things up! Sorry if my explanation is a bit long!

What? :)))

Without a doubt the most unique story I've ever consumed. It's so hard to say what this manga is about. Every next part of fire punch flips itself 180°, I've felt every possible emotion I can think of(besides crying sadly) and I'm silent about last arc. Absolute madness and one of the best plot twists ever that leaved me without any exaggeration speechless for hours Nothing comes close to this manga in terms of concept and emotional impact

@@Ap7-b4k Completely agree-Fire Punch is a wild ride like no other! Fujimoto just keeps flipping the story on its head, and that last arc left me speechless too. It’s awesome to hear from someone else who felt the same! Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

Thank you so much for the feedback! I’m really glad you enjoyed the video and narration. I know I tend to speak a bit fast , that’s something I’m working on! My ADHD sometimes makes it tricky to keep a steady pace, but I’m trying to improve with each video. Thanks for your patience and for watching! ❤️

Wait what ? Boy's Abtss has an happy ending ? :))) I still didnt finish the manga , i am still reading it , i read at first only the first 10 ch for a challenge of forcing myself to read any recommandations i recived , u can check that on the channel. But from how story is going , i never expected to hear anything like a good or happy ending for this manga . From how dark is already from 10 chs :)) .

Suicide and escaping the physical town isn't an escape to problems. And not every adult is a piece of shit, there also were sensible people wanting to help the characters and let them know they could rely on them (AKA Esemori's ex-gilfriend and the detective in charge of Yuuko's case). You can tell from the chapters Reiji, Gen and Chako escaped to Tokyo and Reiji called out Esemori for disappointing and disowning his mom he gave up on suicide and the idea of using Nagi as an escape, instead he chose to confront her mom and then reach Nagi, but as a human being, not as the shinigami he thought she was gonna take him away from his issues. In the end, the "town" the novelist was always referring to was the toxic environment the characters were living, AKA, their family, friends and acquaintances. Besides, it's not common for very dark and disturbing or soulcrushing stories to have happy endings, some of the Nippon Animation world masterpiece theater series, TMS adaption of the Sans Familie book (The child without home/Remi), Lord of the Rings and even blood on the tracks had quite dark and twisted plots, but their happy ends were some sort of release for their characters. Ryou said in one interview around vol. 8- the stories that helped her to keep going with life and move forward weren't precisely the happy ones, but the darkest ones instead. Basically the end was Reiji and the girl that was called Nagi becoming their own persons and choosing to live together, all because Reiji was the only one who actually cared for her by actually asking her true name after spending the entire series being puppets of almost the entire cast. Only Reiji will know her true name. The volume additional panels help understand better the context.

@@Niko9mmykepazaa First of all, what the heck, didn’t expect such a long message! 😂 I thought I was the one writing long replies, but this one really caught me off guard. 😂 I haven’t had the chance to read Oshi no Ko yet, but I’m pretty sure you just gave me a huge spoiler! 😂 I don’t mind though, and I really appreciate all the interesting info you shared. Hopefully, after I watch and read it, everything will make even more sense. Thanks again for all the insights! ❤

not the long ahh comment💀💀💀 I'm embarrassed for this yapping session sorry

First of all ty for the compliments and the good words about my writing :)) , hope i can improve even more. Also ty for the recomandation hope is gonna be one of the next 10 manga. Because u said is a dark story and as u can see i love them. And yes i plan to make a ful video about juujika no rokunin , hope to see u more on my channel in the future .

@@contagiosis neah u are ok with this type of comment , belive me , u are talking with a professional yapper. :)))))))

​@@AzabeReviewsENnice, looking forward to the next videos! keep it up🔥

@@contagiosis Maybe u can guess what is the next video about , from the sneekpick i posted on community posts :)) .

First of all ty a lot and i am happy to hear this made u want to read more manga. Hope you can give me some recommandation for next challange :)) . Also ty a lot for the compliment you gave me about my voice. I really mean it , because i am trying a lot to get the sound part and voice acting better and better . Hope to deliver even better quality in the future.

ok , noted for the next challenge . If i have more then 10 recommandations , that means more then 10 people to recommand me a series , because i dont find it fair to get multiple recommandations from 1 person . If that happens i think i am gonna do a stream to choose the mangas doing a lucky wheel spin , or something similar to this . Hope yours is gonna be one of the next mangas for this challange :)) .

Ty ! :))) Even tho i think i still have a lot of work to put in my scripts and naration ( voice acting) . Not sure if u belive me , but i apreciate a lot the support! <3

First of all , i am happy to see you liked the video . Hope i can see you in my other videos comment section and in the future videos comment section as well :)). Also yea , i know what you mean , thats why i like this manhwa . And is very insteresting how much in advance the author forshadows things that happen in the manhwa.

I am speaking about the manhwa . =)) If was not obvious enough .

For sure was good , but still there had been some issues with the manhwa. So thats why i offered that grade .

Obviously the manhwa was not just hype . But as i said in the video there had been some issues with the manhwa and i mentioned them in the video. Hope you liked the video and finished the manhwa.

I am happy to hear you liked the video . And yes in the future one of my videos is gonna be also about Windbreaker manhwa. I read lots of manhwa , one of this manhwas is also Windbreaker . So yes you are gonna also see videos about that manhwa as well .

Yea , i know the controversy. Maybe i am gonna talk about that controversy on a future channel based on that type of content . Also didnt get why so many people get mad about this . Dont get me wrong . I am not a fun o using N word , or other slurs . But when you try to create a racist character , would not make sense for them to also use slurs ? Thats why i didnt really get why so many people got mad about this . Also yea , i like this manhwa a lot . Even more when the overall theme is a little darker then other manhwas from YLAB studio 2 universes.

​@@AzabeReviewsEN It became worse because a lot of black girls also read this on webtoon. Even though this had been okay on Navier webtoon. It was not taken well by the other English speaking or reading audience. And honestly that episode was not well done. It had a weird way of bringing up race in S. Korea saying that black Neanderthal looking students abuse pure Korean students. I read it, it was a huge L for the writer. I think it is entirely removed from webtoon. But it's still being uploaded in the South Korean Navier site and other scanalation fan sites in English. And the character here shouldn't be racist because he is a part of the Teacher's Rights Protection Agency. And calling racial slur was not how they should have dealt with bullying. I actually liked their cult episode. It was badass.

@@Vinaya999 I see, I didn’t know all that background! I don’t think I’ve reached the part where the MC says the N-word-I remember a kid saying it, but not the main character. For me, as long as it’s not the protagonist, it feels more like part of the dark tone of the story, similar to series like Cat Shit One, Fire Punch, or Juujika no Rokunin, where you expect to see messed up stuff. But I get why some people wouldn’t be okay with it.

Ty for your nice words and also for the ideas how to improve . I am already working at the structure and my pronunciation . So i hope you would like my next videos even more . Also what do you think about Lookism ?

@@AzabeReviewsEN It was one of my first manhwas, it is really close to my heart .

@@piyushraj8109 I am happy to hear that , also hope you like what i talked about Looksim , also in the future are gonna be even more videos about Lookism , where i am gonna get in more details then i did in this one . This one was more like a introduction . Like that even this who are new or already at date to this manhwa can understand what i am talking about . So i hope i can see you in the next videos about Lookism comment section as well .

OK so , first ty for searching your opinion , even more when is so detailed . And about the speed of the story , from my point , that was not the case , i understand that for others can be a different opinion , as i said in the video and you proofed to me , but taking in account the manga , the more acurate one and also better for me . But both are a good anime to watch , so i respect your opinon , even more when you offered me so many details .

Ty for your nice words ! Also what do you think about the video and the manhwa i showed in this video ?

Ty! :)) I use premiere pro. Why ?

Yea , why would not be my real voice ? :)))

TY! Trying to improve it even more . Hope you are gonna like my next videos as well .

<3

I am glad to hear you liked it ! I hope in the future i can show you more good manga/manhwa/manhua to read.

Yea , because of the accent and the audio quality . But ty for the nice words . Also in the next videos is gonna be a better audio quality and a better accent with a clear pronunciation . Is gonna take a 2-3 videos for bigger improvements to be seen , because i have a little bit of advance in what i make versus what i post .

I didnt seen or read "Girls Last Tour" . But as i said in the video this manga give me a lot of similar vibes similar with Fire Punch . So i am really recommanding you to read this one , even more because right now has only 20 ch .

wait what ? :)) I dont think that would be the case , but nice idea :)) .
