Junji Ito's Freaky Manga Endings - FUNKe Study

[@FUNKe]

The crosshatching/watercolor aesthetic here is mostly just for this video. You can expect future videos to look a bit less grungy.

[@Penultimeat]

Can we go grungier though? How grungy is too grungy?

[@shunG59]

[@caiostange2770]

I love the shader work. Each new video brings so much more to the table, it's astonishing. keep it up!

[@MineCreeperLPs]

I kind of liked it. I also enjoyed how much detail you put into each slight movement when speaking. You kept trying to get the viewer to look at the box but I always looked at bomby in the eyes curious as to how each expression was going to play out as you spoke.

[@dannmcdan2185]

I really love the unique way FUNKe animated his hands. By seperating and connecting his hands and arms he made it look like he had 4 hands. 2 that are inside his sleeves and 2 rayman like floating arms. Then he could pose them diffrently or connect them togeter. It was masterfully done and super creative

[@BruhGaming2003]

It tripped me out a bit and I love it

Brevity is the soul of wit. One of the reasons you can tell if someone wrote a lot in college is how long they take to make their point. The best writers don't need nearly as much to get their points across.

[@perspii2808]

Hopefully more people start refining the length of their videos. Wanting to watch something but seeing its runtime be so long is overwhelming and just leads to me skipping through it or thinking ‘wtf am I doing with my life rn🗿’ Sometimes the content/writing quality does justify the runtime, but they’re pretty rare exceptions (ppl like noah caldwell gervais and action button)

Ito once said that the secret to his success is to take ridiculous concepts and treat them seriously. It's something all creatives should take to heart.

Junji Ito is a pretty chill, upbeat guy. You need a really stable mental state to do what he does and make it out unscathed.

[@natebox4550]

Pretty much, I mean just look at the author of no longer human. Jesus that story is dark, I brought it up because Junji Ito did his own version of it. And to continue onto what you said, that author sadly ended his own life, and the book no longer human is almost a biography of sorts.

Really happy to see Craig become a recurring character. A helicopter turtle that speaks in morse code. Absolutely adorable.

[@daddy_doot]

I'm convinced that FUNKe is one of the best KZbin video makers rn, his style is so distinct and lively. The tone is always perfect, it's paced well, the animation has so much character, and it's edited so well. I started watching back when he made TF2 videos and seeing his videos evolve, it just felt like the natural direction to take things. Easily top 3 KZbinrs rn for me personally

[@armintor2826]

And hes always throwing curveballs, like in this his hands now function independent of their arms

[@hamster2u396]

Him and Noodle and Krugsten are top tier KZbin

[@arandompasserby7940]

One thing I like about Junji Ito's endings is that typically there is "discovery" by the outside world. It's not just something supernatural that's "invisible" to all except those it's affecting, but it's something physical that others are able to witness ... But then the story ends before the larger implications of that discovery start being pressed.

[@marslara]

Whenever I see mentions of Ito's work I'm shocked there isn't more media taking advantage of this kind of genre. The "unknown" horror like eldritch. Or just the uncanny which makes you scared but you can't say why. I feel like bird box kind of had it by not showing the creatures and same with Arrival or Annihilation just by being outside of human understanding. I think it's a really cool concept that more media should explore.

[@mimszanadunstedt441]

Thats because horror is in the implications. What it suggests is secretly the norm of the universe. And humanity would rather not know. They want simple to assure themselves they are safe because they are in control. But their reality is entirely illusion.

[@angelerror4086]

@@marslara Isn't that just lovecraftian horror?

[@marslara]

@@angelerror4086 I think it's technically what it's called, but Lovecraft horror that claims the genre tends to only show things that are disturbing to look at most of the time not necessarily exploring the concept of fear. I guess mushsihi is another example, not everything in that show is creepy visually but I could see how the concept seems disconcerting. I think that show could fall under the Lovecraft horror genre but nobody calls it that so I figured it's better to describe what I mean

[@callumanderson6373]

The shading/texture (idk im not an animator) is a bit weird, but I think he might have been going for a manga style and I kind of like it as a one-off thematic choice. The disembodied hands I actually really like though. They add a lot of personality to the animation and the visual gags with the hands doing one thing while the arms do another were pretty cool.

[@The_Big_Jay]

I can't remember the name of it, but my favorite Junji Ito story is probably the least supernatural one. It's the one about the girl who's forced to babysit this little boy, but doesn't want to because she thinks it's uncool. He'd always cry about everything and it got on her nerves, and everyday she's push him down, or accidentally hit him with a ball, hoping he would stop wanting to be around her, but it never worked. One day she kicked a ball into a yard with an aggressive dog and made him go get it, the boy getting mauled in the process. He lived, but the family moved away soon after. Years later, once she's an adult, she meets the boy at a bar who remembers her fondly, seemingly forgetting everything she had done to him, yet he still has the scar from the dog. They end up dating, he knocks her up, and they have a kid together. However, one day, he doesn't come back from work. This was his revenge, leaving her with the kid, the kid that looks exactly like he did all those years back. The final few pages are her lamenting him, hating him for what he did, and how the child reminds her of him, he cries just like he did, how annoying that was. The final panel is her dressed up as she was in the beginning of the story, like a child, her hair done up in pigtails, calling her son by the name of his father, the boy she abused, implying that she'll relive those events with her own son.

God the animation in this one blew me away. It's surprising how you can keep such a high production value on these. Also the hands animating separately from the arms was mesmerising.

[@thatoneguy86493]

And creative

[@Mekose]

I want to take a moment to appreciate how impressive the page turning scenes are. That you actually modeled every page turn in Blender for the small detail that you can see the next page as it turns, control the pace of each page turn for suspense, control the camera angles, and that incredible paper texture, is just superb. More than that, it gives the viewer the actual vibe of physically turning each page. Surely a ton of work instead of doing it in after-effects or something; but the result is absolutely worth it I'm sure.

[@r.p.7174]

I wouldnt even say the best part was that it was eery but that he could convey more emotions that way, like the body was relaxed and sat back in the couch, the face showed a smile hinting proudness and the hands stroking the book presenting care, proud and relaxation AT THE SAME TIME just by the hands being separete from the body. Genious

[@gabem4208]

gotta say, how you animated your character this episode is brilliant. very fun

[@chipslight738]

I dunno what unnerved me more, the very methodical way you explained and analyzed Junji Ito's work or the disconnected hands and arms having their own seperate animations from one another. It's actually such a really nice touch despite how seemingly minor it is, it correlates nicely with how horrifying Ito's stories are imo, since a lot of them happen in mundane locations. It's also a very good showcase of animation in general, it's kind of fucking nuts.

[@IITRIGGERDII]

Funke, I just want you to know I’m obsessed (non-literal) with the way you pronounce and enunciate every single word in your videos. Every consonant feels weighty and robost while every syllable seems deliberately stressed or hastened to add gravity to the point you’re trying to get across. Maybe that’s just how you talk, or maybe you really put that much attention to detail into every part of your videos. Hell, each video has so much VISUAL attention to detail I’d almost expect it from you. All I’m trying to say is that whenever you say something, it’s enhanced ten-fold by the way you say it, and how poignant your vocal phrasing is. Your voice make me happy :)

[@IITRIGGERDII]

Also I love the callback to the French joke from the last video, seriously had me chortling and giggling like a highschool girl and a WoW troll at the same time. I absolutely die for a pay-off like that.

[@Thomas-yf1ve]

The sleeves and hands acting independently never stopped being creative and expressive. Genuinely genius idea, i love it

You outdid yourself with this video. The pages of Ito's work being diegetic was really clever, and for a second I thought "He wrote on the copies of his book?!" like they were the actual physical copies of the book. Uzumaki would be my choice to bring on vacation, too. One of my favorite pieces of media of all time.

i know everyone's already said this a hundred times over for nearly a week, but i love the subtle cleverness you play around with when it comes to the character design. simple design choices resulting in complex behaviours is one of my favourite things in character design, and your character's lack of neck and wrists leads to so many cool visual tricks and silly gags. and the way it's animated makes sense too! of course a character who has floating hands would rest their hands differently from their arms, or rest one while gesticulating with the other! it leads to so many interesting and fun visuals that i found myself having to sometimes rewind this video because my detail-hungry autistic brain was so enamored by the animation that i only half-processed the actual words being said. and i know you've said that the grungy visuals were mainly just for this one video, but i certainly wouldn't mind more of it in the future! to make sure this comment at least mentions the topic of the video; this has unironically convinced me to get into junji ito oh, n that was an immaculate outro gag, haven't laughed that hard in a few days lmao

[@_sadghost]

I haven't seen a comment about this yet (albeit, with very little reading of comments), the way you animated your hands and arms separately is incredible. The gestures you make with both, or the posture you have while having the hands move about makes it both unsettling and incredibly cool. When you gesture with the arm, and the audience expects the hand to follow in one way, but the gesture the hand gives is something wholly disconnected from the arm, but still a gesture the speaker would make at that point. Or bringing them together to make a gesture with both, then having the hands pick up a book while the arms keep gesturing. Very cool. 10/10 animation.

[@DMAN99]

The thing I love about Ito’s stories are they almost always feel like a random silly thought he must’ve had but the way he depicts and tells the story really hit home his talent for the macabre. There’s an episode of Manben, Urasawa Naoki’s show about mangaka, in which Ito is the focus of an episode and I roughly remember him joking about how something he was drawing was unrealistic (it was the story of the girl made up of layers) and it really hit home how his stories work, his concepts are silly but they remind me of that child like sense of horror where the logic doesn’t matter at all, a giant floating balloon shaped like your head that can mimic you with the sole goal of hanging you is really sill but the way he presents it is genuinely creepy.

I’ve read Amigara fault so many times. Who? Why? How? I’ll never know. There’s barely anything to speculate on. And that makes it endlessly terrifying and unsettling.
