Vintage Anime & Manga #2 | Horror OVA Boom Recommendations

[@TheArtisanGeek]

I have finals this month, so this may or may not be my last video until I'm done. Nevertheless I hope you'll enjoy it and find something useful :) It seems that KZbin auto subtitles have still been working pretty well on my videos, but I'll make sure to go over the transcript, make my corrections and publish those as my own subs after my exams on my recent videos - cheers!

[@pig3292]

The classiest part time anituber 💕 love your content!

[@TheArtisanGeek]

Aah thank so much! So glad to hear you enjoy it!! :D

[@IWannaBeAnArtistToo]

Omg I’m so happy KZbin brought me to you! Shojo and horror is my jam!

[@CanaldoMiauOfficial]

I love those old Mangas there's a channel in Brazil called 'Quadro em Branco' and he does many video about culture and also those mangas, I pretty much liked your review!

[@sophiecarbone4977]

This is such a great series! Love the new intro! Good luck on your finals!!

[@TheArtisanGeek]

Yay I'm so glad to hear that! And thanks so much Sophie!! :D

[@becc8617]

My "to-read" list just got a whole lot longer thanks to you

[@TheArtisanGeek]

Love to see it! :D

[@Kite562reviews]

I have to say I really enjoyed this video. Horror manga wise I've only read Junji Ito and Kazuo Umez; mainly Kazuos series Orochi. Which is quite an enjoyable horror manga series with a variety of themes in the stories told. I havent read drifting classroom though, I feel like I'd really enjoy it! 😊❤📚

[@rackncheese]

Yesss, I was just picking up my phone to research Shojo horror when you said you were working on a video on it. I would LOVE to see that, and have been really been enjoying this series.

[@dylanmuneku9291]

first comment i think good luck on your finals 🎉also having finals by the end of the month as well so the pressures real

[@TheArtisanGeek]

Thank you!! I totally feel you on the pressure haha -- best of luck to you too !! :) 🎉🎉

[@cometreviews]

Great vid! Now I've got a bunch of new title to check out :)

[@TheArtisanGeek]

Thank you! Glad to hear that!! :D

[@depressedtv]

Oh, nice! This is going to be an interesting series!

[@TheArtisanGeek]

Thanks! I hope it turns out that way! :D

[@depressedtv]

@@TheArtisanGeek it's good so far. I like the info and history and the funny moments too. "Essentially, everyone around her just dies," *maniacal giggling..... And I always like finding new things to read from your channel.

[@coldmajima0068]

Loved this video, its very nice seeing more people talk about other horror mangakas, & Umezz having some of my favorite manga out there, devils right Hand & 14, please keep these videos coming, especially the horror manga ones. ❤ Oh & a manga recommendation u will love Gambling Apocalypse kaiji with a very unique art style & intense gambling, along with great character analysis, unfortunately the releases r slow with 2 of 6 omnibus out so far, but there great quality manga & the first 2 volumes covering the first arc of the series🤘 hope u enjoy

[@ctgraphy]

Thanks for this! Picking up "Petshop of Horrors" from my library. :) It would be interesting to hear your take on manga that's not specifically horror, but crosses over into it. "Fullmetal Alchemist" (incredibly designed body horror) and earlier issues of "Inu Yasha" (my first experience with yokai) come to mind.

[@TheArtisanGeek]

Sute thing! I hope you'll enjoy Petshop of Horrors :D Fullmetal Alchemist has been on my list for a while really need to get to it as well as much works of Takahashi! Thanks for the recommendations :)

[@curtisxblue]

Really enjoyed this video! Thank you.

[@TheArtisanGeek]

Cheers! Thanks so much for watching! :)

[@ostrichreads7715]

I just love how different your videos are ☺️

[@TheArtisanGeek]

Ah thank you very much!! :D

[@nehla3627]

I honestly love you so much, i already feel like i am friends with you after binge-watching your videos! you are so pleasant and radiant and i usually dont do this for the youtubers i watch but I really really love your content. looking forward to watching you grow

[@zahraaa.j2733]

This motivated me to read more manga Thank you!

[@theothercomicguy]

Fantastic video!

[@ooh29]

Girl, you have the best sense of humor I’ve ever seen. Merry me.

[@TheMightyBluPepper]

Magnetic Rose has to be one of my favourite short horror films I've seen, properly creepy and a great recommendation! One horror anime I've heard of recently is Mononoke which I'm hoping to watch soon, it has a beautiful art style. Really looking forward to your video on Shoujo horror :D

[@rayane4775]

You should definitely watch mononoke!!! It is such a masterpiece and one of a kind, and the horror is very unique... I hope you enjoy it •^-^•

[@TheArtisanGeek]

For sure! I've never been a fan of stories set in space, but this one was so good! :) I'm looking to check out Mononoke soon as well, I bet it'll be great :D

[@chegg7661]

I really enjoyed your other video about horror manga and this was a pleasant surprise.

[@TheArtisanGeek]

Very glad to hear that! Thanks so much for watching :D

[@depressedtv]

I have volume one of Kazuo Umezu's Cat Eyed Boy Also, I randomly picked up Franken Fran by Katsuhisa Kigitsu, and it's pretty good in a humorous and body horror type of way.

[@mmilbeb]

fantastic video and making me wish my library had more manga on offer. Good luck with your exams!

[@TheArtisanGeek]

Thank you!!

[@hannad9368]

this was so interesting!! thank you for sharing now i have more mangas in my to read list

[@TheArtisanGeek]

So happy to hear that! It's my absolute pleasure! Cheers! :D

[@Ninzumecha]

Have you watched 3x3 Eyes, Mermaid Scar, Ultimate Teacher, Wicked City, Demon City Shinjuku and Cyber City Oedo 808? All worth watching in my opinion. The Fist Of The North Star 80’s movie also. Devilman Crybaby was sick too! 😊👌

[@leahl442]

This was so fun and interesting, I wasn't familiar with most of these, and now i really want to check out some shoujo horror manga. And cool shirt btw 😁. Wish you luck in your finals!

[@SunnysFilms]

That cover to Hell Baby calls to me. I must find a copy.

[@jessicajones3701]

Just found you a little while ago. Loved this!

[@TheArtisanGeek]

Thank you very much for watching! I'm glad to hear that :D

[@erinkubat]

Hideshi hino made the imfamous guinea pig movies in the 80s. My mind is blown that he made manga too!

[@iana.2973]

Since Devilman: Tanjou hen was your introduction to the series (by the way, if you havent, you should check out some of the english dub on youtube. It's Hilarious) do you intend to watch Devilman: Crybaby at some point? I thought it was pretty good if very very bleak!

[@TheArtisanGeek]

Yeah for sure, I think I'll go and watch the TV series first though -- the movie looks really good though! Have only heard positive stuff about it :)

[@zam6877]

Who hasn't gotten through a period of merging with devils and demons...but you eventually find it is more trouble than it's worth and you grow out of it 🙄

[@zam6877]

I love ghost stories more...they are more of the mystery genre with a balance of curiosity and scary... Also because they are through Japanese cultural lens The was actually this video game "fatal frame"

[@Neku628]

6:32 But aren't a lot of Kazuo Umezu's works unavailable in the US?

[@heyimsasa]

💖💖💖

[@78deathface]

I have a stack of Hideshi Hino manga sitting beside me right now

[@TheArtisanGeek]

Ooh how cool!! I'd love to try out some more of his work :)

[@depressedtv]

Would Perfect Blue be considered horror?

[@TheArtisanGeek]

I haven't watched it yet, but from what I hear, I think so.

[@kurokonaizumi9296]

i have a couple recommendations! midori (shoujo tsubaki), 1992 - first, a classic! animated single-handedly by hiroshi harada due to a lack of any producers willing to front money for this, it's a horrific tragedy about a girl who begins working in a circus "freak show" after her mother dies. a 47-min adaptation of a series by the one-and-only eroguro manga master suehiro maruo, the film is an anti-nationalist, anti-imperialist romp and a tragedy that a lot of people either find unbearable or completely misunderstand, as illustrated by some tiktok users after it recently gained some traction on that platform. urban legend hikiko (toshi densetsu monogatari hikiko), 2008 - far more obscure, this OVA is a 40-minute CG animation recounting the urban legend of hikiko, a child abused by her parents and bullied at school. in the afterlife, her spirit prays on schoolchildren. it's honestly pretty scary, due in part to its very dated CG art style, but it also feels like a perfect mix of a j-horror type story and US horror style directing. supposedly the urban legend is to some extent an allegory for the struggle of japanese hikikomori, for which the titular character is named. of course, my fascination with hiki was the reason i discovered this ova in the first place lol.

[@kurokonaizumi9296]

having trouble finding a good youtube link to urban legend hikiko, but i assure you it's not very hard to find online!
