@Monitor Comics Well first of all I want to say your channel is very helpful to people who want to make manga. Second, can you do a video on how to create fight senes.

[@TicoRicoAntonio]

This was a fun conversation for sure! Thanks for having me! Also, a meta game for everyone: how many times did I mention Blade Runner? 😂

[@DT-lb3ix]

Hi monitor just wanted to say thank you for all the help you've given me in my storytelling journey, your channel has been a blessing!

[@MonitorComics]

Of course! I'm really glad my videos could be helpful! Thank you for taking the time to watch them!

[@zoddai5950]

Honestly, this might help me with a manga idea. I have two, but one of them is more like a sci fi action genre.

[@MonitorComics]

That's awesome to hear!

[@BLUELOCK_1999]

Same

14:18 Clarke’s 3rd law “any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic”.

[@azariahspence8551]

Thanks so much for the video, Monitor! You and Mr. Antonio gave me a lot to think about

[@kyosuke181]

Nice video, can you make a video on how to make a slice of life manga, or manga about mental health?

[@MonitorComics]

Slice of Life is one of my next videos!! It is already recorded, just needs to be edited!

[@JohnPeterPressonProtopsaltis]

You left out the Leijiverse of Captain Harlock,Galaxy Express 999, Space Battleship Yamato, Legends of the Galactic Heroes

[@jpeckdraws3932]

I loved disneys treasure island it was awesome

[@Cch1llz]

My manga is science fiction mix with slice of life and fantasy steampunk but its also not space them as it is more of a cultural theme. The story about young warriors following the tradition of going into another to embark on a new life and grow on their own.

[@MonitorComics]

Sounds cool!! Best of luck with the project!

One concept in sci fi that interest me is real robot. It's about mechas as mass produced machines that people use in daily life and warfare and they're treated as just another machine that need some maintenance. Patlabor is the best example of this. Of course Gundam is considered to introduce it but in some series, the Gundams seems to veer off towards super robot as the story progress. This can be due to the advances in technology aka Clarke's 3rd Law. I'm no author but who knows, that I might cooking some ideas right now lol.

[@MonitorComics]

I like real robot too! I think Gundam leans that way because they want the Gundams to be so "iconic." I like when the machines are incorporated into the worldbuilding!

[@tjreed7797]

I'm trying to create a story that's a fantasy with sci-fi elements that was initially inspired by Ys 8/9 & 13 Sentinels aegis Rim. This video helped me think about what other sci-fi stuff I can add to make it more interesting.

[@MonitorComics]

That's awesome to hear! Best of luck with your project!

[@AveMxnk]

Video suggestion What skills do I need to master to become a successful independent mangaka Question I have ideas for manga , but would it be better to save them for the future and focus on learning how to draw OR Should I start drawing right now and let my artstlye evolve with my Manga overtime been visiting your channel a lot over the past few weeks and I love the content❤ Much love from South Africa ❤

[@inesatt1313]

Keep up! Your advices are great

[@MonitorComics]

Glad you enjoyed! Thanks for watching!

[@inesatt1313]

@@MonitorComics Anytime and also I could really use your help in Instagram about my OC character

[@JohnPeterPressonProtopsaltis]

I’m glad you did this video. Manga has become a bit like the Nashville country music scene, a slave to its own tropes. That is one of the reasons I like the 70s era, particularly Leiji Matsumoto

[@luisB_OG]

glad im not alone with the isekas fatigue! and i dont even watch that! lol but as always so much useful content!!!

I wish the volume was balanced, so I could understand what Ricardo is saying. I have to turn the volume way up to hear him, then way back down when Monitor speaks. I hate having to juggle the volume like this. Captions don't help either.

[@MonitorComics]

Thank you for the feedback! It sounded fine in my headphones when I was editing it. I just listened to a bit of it now and I can hear both of us fine. Are you playing the video out loud?

[@nactrumofficial5450]

@@MonitorComics I'm using my laptop speakers. I can hear you just fine, but Ricardo keeps getting quieter, and I have to turn the volume up. When you speak I have to turn the volume down because your audio is way louder.

[@MonitorComics]

@@nactrumofficial5450 My monitors don't have speakers and I just use headphones for everything, so I can't really test to see how it sounds out loud Next time I can try to double check the audio levels though to make sure they are more balanced! This is the first comment I have seen about the audio, so I assume using headphones is the only suggestion I can give!

[@datboimazz]

Mine is more in that cyberpunk, Military, Dystopian bag fasho👌🏾😁

[@MonitorComics]

Sick! Love stories like that!

[@datboimazz]

@@MonitorComics Thanks bro combining that along with a Supernatural and religious element your vids have really helped me create the story🙏🏾💪🏾

[@amuro9624]

I wish you'd put the titles of manga when you show pages. Some made me want to take a closer look but theres no reference.

[@JohnPeterPressonProtopsaltis]

@monitorcomics thank you so much for this piece on this much neglected genre in manga/anime.

[@MonitorComics]

Of course! Thanks for taking the time to watch!

[@CRUCIFi777]

The lion king feels like an adaptation of dune.

[@바보Queen]

can you make a video discusing ultimate moves in manga and how to invent good ones?? like Bankai and domain expansions.. supersaiyan etc ... i think its some of the most bad ass things in anime

[@Gaia_Gaistar]

You should cover stuff like Tengoku Daimakyou (Heavenly Delusion) sometime. Seinen manga needs more love.

[@MonitorComics]

True!!

[@Gaia_Gaistar]

@@MonitorComics The writing in Heavenly Delusion and character interactions are S tier.

[@MonitorComics]

I have heard great things about it! I don't think it is on Crunchyroll though, so I haven't been able to check it out yet@@Gaia_Gaistar

[@Gaia_Gaistar]

@@MonitorComics Yeah, Disney+ really buried this one, tv show is amazing but the manga is on par and a great read.

[@hoahuynhnhat9650]

I hope you'll make A video about building dark and deep like chainsaws man

[@MonitorComics]

I can add it to the list, thanks for the video suggestion!

[@anandmohantiriya6074]

A video on "Studios to start as a freelance Comic Book Artist"

[@MonitorComics]

Could you elaborate on what you mean? Like what studios to apply for?

[@anandmohantiriya6074]

@@MonitorComics like name of those studios who wants freelance comic book artists, how to get there and what should we prepare in our comic book portfolio.

[@MostSaneGiggukFan]

Hi Monitor, great video as always. I’m curious on what is your take if there’s a Cyberpunk Battle Shounen manga series? Thanks.

[@MonitorComics]

I think it could be cool!

[@redkasai1196]

hey man, i am a fan of your videos. can i make a request? in your next video, can you somehow cover the topic if i can actually combine multiple manga series into one story with at least 75% of my originality please. (series like the big 3, black clover, mha, fairy tail and a few more if i want to). My dream has always been to make a combined manga series where people can finally have a common ground and there are no conflicts in the anime community. it would help me a lot if you could cover that topic. i would like to know now itself if it is possible or if i have at least even 5% of succeeding and if not, i can work on my second idea for my manga

[@MonitorComics]

If you mean literally combine prexisting series the answer is no. Like you can't have Deku appear in your manga, that's copyright infringement. There is a "get around," parody IS legal. There's a manga series called Cheat Slayer which had characters inspired by Sword Art Online, Re:Zero, Overlord, etc. But they weren't EXACTLY them So in that case it would be fine. There's also something called Doujins (Doujins) which are fan manga, people make fan comics all of the time for series like DBZ, One Piece etc. The only problem with Doujins is you could never really make money or get them published, since you don't own the characters. Some Japanese mangaka sell doujins at Comicket for fun

[@redkasai1196]

@@MonitorComics I see, thank you for giving your time in answering my doubts. I just have one more thing to ask. If the story was almost totally original, would it still be kinda illegal? I mean, the characters are not mine, but the story, the theories and everything else will be mine, (forgot to mention, almost 90% of the characters will be my own) would i still not be able to publish the manga? If so, then i will start on my second idea for my manga which is basically my own story and my own characters. So sorry to bother you again

[@MonitorComics]

@@redkasai1196 By law you cannot have a character like Goku in your story. That's copyright infringement. You CAN parody dbz and have your character dress up like Goku for comedic effect, that is legal Even though the story is original, it still would ender the doujin category since you don't own the characters so it's classified as a fan work The thing with working with publishers is they don't accept fanwork, you need to 100% own the IP hopefully that helps!

[@redkasai1196]

@@MonitorComics it sure helped me a lot sir. Thank you for the advice and your time for replying to my comments again. I will work on my second idea as a main part but still work on the first one as a doujin

[@kumarhardik1628]

Pls make a video about how to make delinquent manga like tokyo revengers.

[@MonitorComics]

I can add it to the list of upcoming topics!

theres so much diferent types of scifi

[@chuzzbot]

Never even mention anything European even this is the inspiration a lot of this stuff (at least indirectly) more often just lifted. Most of your subjects were spacy fantasy, not sci fi at all.
