The Artist That REVOLUTIONIZED Horror (And Why His Anime FAILED) || SPEEDPAINT + COMMENTARY

[@funfourstudios]

I love how is style is more realistic than other manga Styles, no big eyes, no cartoonish expressions. The only exaggerated expression we get is pure sadness, insanity, and horror

[@skylerdevinraleigh3447]

He has a very simple artstyle that's still somehow difficult to replicate

[@waterworks_yes]

don’t mind me just boosting celestia in the algorithm

[@MossWuzzHere]

[@takatotakasui8307]

Just rewatching the video to boost it as much as possible

[@jadecantfindthispassword]

Let’s go!

[@ccherry.berryy]

As you should!

[@goopybonez]

To describe his style, he is a very professional inker and knows how to use that medium style with his storytelling. Inking is the usage of only black on white, or white on black, and using lines, hatching, cross-hatching, stippling and texturing to create shading, textures and elements, it isn't just "line art." Inking's been around for centuries and traditionally can easily be one of the most intimidating art mediums since if you mess up, you can't erase it. My art mentor (Scott Hanna) has been an inker for decades for Marvel and DC, and his interests in the medium unfortunately rubbed off on me.

[@dorkenspache8353]

Not even kidding, I have only recently gotten into Junji Ito books because of a class I'm taking where we had to read the entirety of Uzumaki (and I read the Liminal Zone in my free time). Talk about perfect timing to find this video. Edit: Made it to the end and now I actually have a better appreciation for his work. Also anyone reading this, read The Liminal Zone. She didn't mention or cover any of the stories from that book in this video so you would have no spoilers whatsoever

[@mickiblay1]

I may not come here (I was recommended to watch this as a Junji Ito fan) but I can promise you that while it was a long video, it did not FEEL long. It was passionate, informative, and true to heart. A perfect example of Criticism and Constructive Research without allowing bias to get completely in your way ♥ I have also willingly sat through 24+ hours of people playing Uno, so if that tells you anything about me...

[@Imjustkendall]

Don’t mind me just boosting celestia’s algorithm: The sequel

[@tcpratt1660]

Junji Ito's artwork is incredible - but I am not in the headspace now where I can read any horror, Ito's manga, or any other horror, and quite possibly may never be... ...however, the samples of Ito's artwork that you did show, although definitely horrific, I want to someday be in the right headspace where I can read his manga without bad effects on my mental state, because I do want to be able to appreciate more of his work. (And if this isn't a ringing endorsement of this video, I don't know what is!)

[@jujuoof174]

I fully encourage you and believe you to be able to!! Good luck on that, you can do it, I am certain! :D

[@jadecantfindthispassword]

I must boost this into the algorithm. IT MUST BE SPREAD THROUGHOUT THE KZbin RECOMMENDATIONS!

[@Pawndaunt]

I’d love to see you analyze more artists and/or genres in a similar way to this video. Well done

[@jujuoof174]

Yes, me too!! ^^

[@anony_apis]

His books sounds so interesting! I’ve never really been one for cosmic horror but the books sounds really cool and disturbing! Earlier in the video you mentioned doing reviews for the series and i think that would be a really good

[@jujuoof174]

Hey just know your style is super recognisable and quite iconic, too!!

[@CoziiDraws]

I really love having this kind of video in the backround whilst drawing. The analysis you do and things you talk about are both inspiring as to how I can improve my own storytelling/art but also oddly informational, like watching a documentary!

[@flickerwizz233]

I'd love to see more like this! I really love breaking down what makes a creator compelling for the sake of learning, so I really enjoy this kind of content.

[@bookishdelight]

Longtime lurker here, though not anymore, I suppose. 😄 I'm still only halfway through this video, but your passion and love for this subject shines through, and I feel this is some of the best content you've ever done. Incredibly insightful, and it was a really fun chance to hear story and narrative analysis from you, which doesn't happen often since you're an art commentary channel, but it made this writer happy anyway. You're _really good_ at it, too. This script is some Super Eyepatch Wolf-level stuff, and the visual examples you provided were impeccable. The presentation's quality kept me watching even though I'm not a horror person at all and am a filthy casual who's only heard of Ito a few times in passing. Sad to hear this isn't doing well, though I totally get it given how the algo--and even life--works. Really, it's the creator's curse: the projects we put the most love and energy into are seemingly the ones most likely to land in front of chirping crickets. It's maddening. Attach that phenomenon to your rent check, and... well. I guess I'll say, a) Keep an eye on this, maybe it'll have a long tail, and b) I hope you get to the point where you feel like you can afford (financially) to make these sorts of passion projects for yourself every once in a while even though they're not sure bets. We creators need personal catharsis every once in a while even when our gig's making stuff for The Audience(tm). And I'd love to just bask in this sort of pure infectious joy on display again sometime. All the best.

[@jujuoof174]

Yes, but let's change all of that by spamming the comment section and sharing!! Great well-thought of coment, btw!

[@ceinwenchandler4716]

@@jujuoof174 Does spamming the comment section help? Because if so, I have a ton of things I could say in a ton of separate comments if it'd boost the odds of this video being seen by more people.

[@ceinwenchandler4716]

@@jujuoof174 And if Duchess Celestia wouldn't be bothered by it. I usually try not to leave multiple comments because I'm worried about being rude. But if it's actually an objectively good thing...

[@cryptidofcreation]

I LOVED this video! These are awesome to listen to while working on my own art! It also made me want to pick up these mangas!

[@melancholystorm]

Videos like these are absolutely my favourite. It's long enough to be played in the background as I draw, and the topic captures my intrest but not distractingly so.

[@pewpewpew2603]

I just found this video and am so excited to watch it later when I have time for it. I'm really upset that KZbin , even though I was actively searching up your channel yesterday to watch some of your content (as I genuinely love how well made it is) , didn't recommend this one to me. So yeah instead of continuing my normal lurk behaviour I thought I should write a comment to boost your hard work:) Thank you so much for making such amazing and well thought out videos, I really hope you can continue making more analysis based video essays.

[@jujuoof174]

This was SUCH a fun video!! And as someone who uses your videos regularly as a source of white noise to tune in while drawing, I LOVED the longer-lenght and super passionate format!! I hope this someday gets all the attention it deserves!!

[@Solar_Symphony]

Wow, this just really makes me want to get my hands on Junji Ito's books more. I haven't read a single one yet but I am really drawn to the style and I'd like to get more into horror. Thanks for the video! I definitely enjoyed it and would like to see more content like this in the future~

[@jujuoof174]

Same for me!! ^^

[@sososummer3497]

Thank you so much for making this! I would really enjoy more content like this that analyzes art and manga! Much appreciated

[@scarlett8205]

Boosting the algorithm I would love to see you break down the stories in individual videos, I haven’t seen much of his work but what I have seen I’ve loved!

[@StormEscape]

Honestly, i would love to see more Juni ito break downs from you because this was such a good video essay!

[@jujuoof174]

I don't read manga at all to be honest, but this made me want to read this Ito guy, this is so cool!! I might just get into manga just because of this video, just because of you, and him!

[@DarqDominion]

As a long-time Ito fan, I loved this. It was glorious. And your art of Tomie is beautiful. Thank you for all the time and effort you put into this.

[@0.e.t.0]

Even though I never watched or read anything made by Junji Ito, I loved listening to you talking about it. It`s really interesting! Such a shame it doesn`t have as many views as your other videos. But, I do hope to see new videos like this from you in future, even if they`ll be a rare thing

[@jujuoof174]

Yes!!

[@mastertofu]

Just watching the 2023 anime had inspired me to continue writing again. Ito's stories somehow validates the horrors my mind imagined that terrified me as a child. I see deformed human beings every time I close my eyes and Ito puts those images on a page. That truly terrifies me. That these images are also living rent free in people's minds, that someone had put them into a story to terrify more people. I used to write a lot of paranormal stories and even though I consumed 0 horror media, some people claim my ideas should be classified as horror. Seeing Junji Ito's work made me understand that this fear is a good thing and I should continue to write these disturbing ideas because maybe others would find them fun or interesting. I love writing internal monologue and text-based works are to me the perfect medium to really dig into a person's mind. I'm inspired to drop the fantasical stories I've been writing to make something more visceral and real.

[@potatopotayto8332]

YEEESSS more junji ito discussions!! he's seriously one of my favorite artists and i'm so glad you're doing more experimental content cuz you're such a great artist too 💕

[@SinCityYetiArt]

Been enjoying your videos for the last few months. I really enjoyed this deep dive into an artist, their work, and why it's been so impactful! I would love to see more videos like this!

[@TheDaphinator]

Commenting to let you know that I have finally watched and finished the entire video. I wish I could have seen it sooner yet my life has been incredibly hectic so I did not have a chance until now. Just wanted to let you know there are people who are happy to watch content on topics like this. I personally really enjoyed the video and can hear your passion for the subject in your words. Great job, Celestia.

[@Dedesormeaux]

I was legit craving this exact video! Please cover other artists like this again

[@2cool2bhot89]

amazing video! if i wouldve seen this 2 weeks ago i would've clicked on it cuz Celeste and Junji Ito for the price of one? pls. i dont think youtube recommended this video well tho because i would get recommended all your vids even before i subscribed, but this one they just didn't show me 🤔 peculiar. anyways, loved this!! keep up the great work!~

[@bookishblossom8670]

I've never been much of a horror person before, but this video makes me really want to check out Junji Ito's work. I really liked the analysis of how the different elements of his art style enhance the horror of the story

[@jujuoof174]

Same!! ^^

[@CrabyMan]

Really enjoyed this analysis, it was fun to hear about how style can manipulate a story or setting

[@ceinwenchandler4716]

Oooh. I would LOVE to see you analyze Junji Ito's individual stories.

[@kawaiidragons7732]

seeing analysis of the individual works would be awesome!

[@Marie-ic6kk]

This is quality content, and i'd love to see more analysis of any kind! Thank you for making it extra long as well, i've been thoroughly entertained for the last 50 minutes!

[@gummykyunno.2010]

This video just makes me want to collect the rest of Itos books I don’t own yet, definitely someone who inspires me.

[@satohime]

so happy to finally see you making a video essay!!! i love the way you presented this focusing on the easy to miss artistic details, i find it way more interesting than just a story analysis alone. i don't usually comment but really want to boost this! i love the ACC content we all came for but also really hope you'll be able to continue making content about the things you enjoy! 💕 edit: made it to the end and just want to add that i really love this long form content and hope to see more! i'm much happier w a longer video tbh

[@Wisteria_Night]

I'm a new subscriber, but I gotta say this video was so well spoken and analyzed! I've seen Junji's art everywhere, but didn't know the origins so this video was very helpful and fascinating to listen to. I'm not a huge horror fan, but I think exploring fear through art is interesting so I'm going check the story out thanks to you. I hope you keep making videos like this one, because they're so good! ;D

[@electrofonickitty823]

Before my sister died, she literally wanted me to always read his work. I was the one who showed her the Uzamaki comics and now my mother is reading it and she hates manga!

[@jujuoof174]

I am glad your mother likes it, and all my condelences to your sister and family. Take care :)

[@Ninjacatmuffin]

I feel like this is one of my favorite videos of yours. Junji Ito is one of my favorite mangaka, so it's cool to hear you talk passionately on why his stories stick for so many people. The Tomie speed paint is really cool as well. I'd love to see more videos like this in the future

I LOVE THIS SOOO MUCH !!! i don't normally comment on yt videos, but i adore ur videos and always watch them as soon as i get the notifs for them :D this video was super interesting to me, ive seen some art of ito's characters here and there but never really knew much about them beyond the fan art,,, but im definitely thinking about looking into his works now thanks to this video !!

[@rynbliss]

oh my… this painting, it’s so beautiful… I can’t stop looking at it… this beauty, it’s unfair. makes me want to… destroy it…

[@elisaelisaross]

Hi, I'd like to let you knwo that I don't like manga, I don't like horror, I don't like this author, but I watched the video anyway and found it enjoable (actually not surprised ahahah) because your analysises, your explications and your personal opinions about art topics are very interesting, you have a way of talking about art topics that always offers a lot of aspects on which to reflect, so I think that even if the specific topic was not my cup of tea, it was worth it anyway:) And more videos like this could be interesting too. Well, maybe not all of them on this author, but in general commenting why you like some pieces of art (any kind of art, that you have been appreciating for long of that is trending because it was just released, any kind) could make people discover some gems.

[@s.b.doodles7625]

I love Junji Ito's works and I also loved watching you talk about them! I would really enjoy seeing more content so I'm mostly commenting to boost this in the algorithm so more people can see it haha (and to show how much I liked the video)!

[@LoveRockin]

I loved this video sm, great analysis. I'd love to see more of these types of videos!!

[@pinkradiohandlerr]

Something that I feel like is a good representation of what the junji ito animes should have been is the anime Sonny boy. It is not a junji ito work, but a lot of the elements that make it so incredibly surreal and unsettling are ones present in his manga but not the animes. I recommend checking it out

[@cutiefoxgirlslps]

would love to see more videos like this in the future 💖

[@shinzaia]

id loveee more of this kind of content !!! more junji ito too! this was great

[@Sandwhaler]

This was good, well thought out and nicely paced. The Human Chair is an Edogawa Ranpo story tho', not Ito's. Guy's been in the chair since the 1920's. The adaptation is well good. More positive feedback. (Favourite Ito thing is probably his Cat Diary. It's unhinged.)

[@ryuumajin]

Oh, still the irony when he's interviewed that he makes manga about his cat and he says it sells more, eventhough the style is pretty much Junji Itoh's horror.

[@fxllxngofficial]

[@elliart7432]

22:50 Ah, I see what you did there

[@drewo.127]

I am very interested in the Uzumaki anime, not just because they are actually adapting Junji Ito’s style perfectly into animation, but because the manga and story itself sounds so terrifyingly interesting! I personally like round spinning things like wheels, fans, and even optical illusions like, you guessed it, the spiral! With that said, I’m very interested in buying a copy of Uzumaki so I can experience how Junji Ito can scare me! (As uncomfortable as it can be for me to see things I like depicted in such a horrifying light, I’m not letting that stop me from jumping down the Junji Ito/Uzumaki rabbit hole…or spiral hole!😅🌀🌀🌀🌀

[@Alkim_gercek]

I love this maybe late but i want to see more

If you don't mind, do you have any tips for learning different things quickly? Like anatomy etc? :))

[@jujuoof174]

Skillshare lol And training, and studying How I learned most of my anatomy for example is by training and using different tips and studying body part by body part, looking at them like shapes more then anything But if you want an AMAZING channel that gives that kind of tips and super easy to understand lessons, I'd recommend Winged Canvas!

[@ceinwenchandler4716]

Comments help videos out with the KZbin algorithm, right? Doesn't matter what I'm rambling about? Let's see... I found Hellstar Remina fascinating, but I didn't like the ending. I wish it had just ended on the planet getting eaten, no last-minute reveal that the main characters survived. That reveal undermines the sheer horrifying awe of Earth disappearing. It feels cheap and corny, at least to me. It doesn't change anything, either. Those characters are still toast. They're just going to starve offscreen now, as opposed to going down in the spectacular apocalypse we just saw. What was the point? Still. Everything about the planet Remina itself is awesome. The fact that the world actually ends is awesome.
