You REALLY need to watch Amano-san paint at 25:00!!

[@VedollMoon]

Crunchyroll for the love of everything beautiful in this world. Please bring him back next year!!!

[@joaoangelopurisima2160]

Hes a legend! Im saving this video

[@BEHEDETY]

Yay!

[@men_del12]

...did he just flexing?

[@madmags13]

I really look up to this guy. No other artist inspires me like he does. I'll even open water bottles the same way now

[@tsuki586]

MadMags u have seen kaneko dude? My two favorite artists in the world!!! Amano-sensei and kaneko-sensei.

[@moisescorral8297]

You should check out Tomomi Kobayashi's art from the SaGa franchise. It's good too.

[@reversebruce7937]

Me too bro

[@MaMa-rx5jz]

Lmaoooo

[@ArcaniaSkypirateDen9516]

Me TOO! His art is so unique and creative! I've never seen anything else exactly like his works before. I recommended his biography called Beyond The Fantasy-the Yoshitaka Amano biography.

[@MixxxedFruuts]

This man's art saved my life. He's brought so much beauty into this world.

[@wesleyam]

He is amazing and yet so humble.

[@tofufregit]

A true artist.

[@maycontainnuts3127]

I think he's just Japanese

[@dartagnan553]

Amano is a superb artist, but you can tell he is anxious in front of people and I'll bet he takes hours to do those paintings, hence 40:37

[@paulmuaddib451]

Shoutout to this interviewer; amazingly composed, humble and able to translate as well!

[@bobbys7514]

Mr. Amano inspires me so much because his style is so unique. I love it!

[@thegirlwholeftthefridgeopen]

Respect for the translator, sometimes the translator can make or break these kinds of interviews, but he made the interview flow very well! Cheers!

[@TriMadon]

the legend that helped creating my favorite game series

[@GameArts1]

Amano is a very inspiring, humble, artist. This man is the definition of Fantasy.

[@hapjiwaya]

To my mind, he is one of the best draftsmen of the century, just as Frazetta, Toppi, Moebius or Otomo.

[@RoninAgain]

If you ever had a hidden artist within you that needs that little spark of inspiration, simply look and listen to this. Amano-san is 1 of many - yet very unique and rare. Never give up and answer that need to create.

[@llrainll]

His work is stunning !

[@noctuslucis15]

The greatest living and legend of my first favorite artist of all time

[@marinusart]

Probably my favorite visual artist alive.

[@hxjj111]

I havent played FF series, but i always got attracted towards the cover art, so unique

[@ViewTube_Emperor_of_Mankind]

Criminally underwatched. Such an honor to see the master at his work.

[@CleverGirlAAH]

Most people are consumers and don't care about the craft [of yesteryear].

[@tomboyclaude]

imagine having this painting in your house... so cool 🥺

[@AdamSmithMusic]

This man is the rockstar of the art world. Long time fan

[@RibanLegna]

40:37 "I fucked it up"

[@sukotsutoCSSR]

I really love his style of fantasy art - there's a lot of strong dynamic expression and classical feel to these works which is not as strong in highly technical fantasy art. I'm heavily influenced by his style and figure drawing in my own quest to be an artist

[@BuraiMurian]

this is epic ! thx crunchyroll

[@carlyg1969]

I’m jealous Wish I was there he has inspired me so much I actually own the sky collection he is amazing I don’t live in America I live in Australia so coming to this event is practically impossible Fantastic interview perhaps someday I will get to meet him

[@carlyg1969]

I will thank you :)

[@sammygogo1659]

He is a legend!!! I really want to buy the tarot deck he created, but it's hard to find a copy.

[@saintbaptiste2523]

Me too !!! I've seen loads on ebay though. Haven't you searched there ?

[@mashedmellow]

I REGRET READING THUS COMMENT BECAUSE NOW I NEED IT

[@LukSter18998]

can say i’ve seen it and it’s really good but i can’t find them either in person too

[@samuraireflection]

thank you all for doing this! I got to see one of my biggest life inspirations in real life! that means a lot to me! thanks!

[@crios8307]

"Amano-sensei, what are drawing?" ".... a horse, I guess?"

[@brokenredflag]

Amano...wow!!! Breath taking!! His my favoret artist, and i love art. Finaly! Lol get it, final fantasy lolo so humble to. His awsome person to. Gara love manga and anime final fantasy to. Viva amano!!!

[@ethanfernandez4932]

45 mins, I'm not gonna watch that much, 45 mins later oh crap it's done lol

[@killerskiely100]

Beautiful work

[@pepelepeau]

loved this!

[@ryan_deakin]

michael seemed very worried

[@CancunMimosa]

“Can games be art?” is such a tired question at this point in time. Video Games are the highest art form currently in existence. A trulyhand crafted medium, that incorporates every previous art form… Facts are obvious. Anyone that says otherwise just needs an education.

[@Yu-Fei-Hung]

Subscribed because featured Yoshitaka Amano

[@lartisteautravail]

Why hasn’t FF super successfully transitioned into the world of anime yet 😭😭😭

[@SeaSerpentLevi]

And i mean, i would die for a Final Fantasy Tactics or Vargrant Story book, maybe a visual novel or illustrated light novel, idk just a wish i have ,_,

[@shinkamui]

because square enix's board of executives are a bunch of fools that's why, they have these amazing worlds and characters and artwork that keeps inspiring people for generations, but only see the short term profit of the next monetization schemes.

[@frxnksangma746]

0:27 "Not so well known" ma ass.

[@StrayMedicine]

this is awesome

[@tohopes]

Turn on autocaptions when Amano is speaking.

[@samankucher5117]

ok this guy knows what he's doing :)

[@user-mg2gu4vw3p]

ダリューン思い出すなぁ

[@neogauntlet1008]

Dang... Straight up 0 dislikes... Everyone knows whats up. Also. Id let that woman manage me any day 😬 also, pilot pens are the best

[@th3azscorpio]

Pilot pens are amazing! Love their brush pens.

[@quantum_OP]

Oh yeah that Odin mounted on Sleipner the six-legged horse, I think you can see his third leg hiding around the torsoe hahah. Careful not to let him become Gilgamesh =_=

[@DarkMoonDroid]

31:30

[@expired_suzie6290]
