Hey all, thank you for the patience in waiting for this videos' release! I'm here with my third manga recommendation video, and I hope to think there's a good variety of different genres and demographics for everyone to at least have one manga of interest.
My manga recommendation videos are a favourite on the channel, and I love seeing people picking up the series after my videos an...
2023-09-24 23:56:29 +0000 UTC View PostHey all! It's been a few weeks since the Gravity Falls video, so I wanted to do a little update as to what I've been working on, and what you can expect between now and October!
At this moment in time I'm currently working on my third manga recommendation video - these videos are a 'fan favourite' on the channel, and I haven't done one in more than a year and a h...
2023-08-31 18:51:41 +0000 UTC View PostHey all, I'll be live in a second to announce the winner of the Gravity Falls giveaway live on Youtube (my secondary account). I'll have a tiny chat beforehand as well, but if you wish to join, here's the link!

The video is finally here after a longer wait than normal! The process for this video took a lot more time in the research department that I predicted. (And hopefully that shows in the video). I tried to be as creative as possible in this editing when given the opportunity - so I truly hope you guy enjoy this one. As it was *you* that pushed me into watching the series!
The next vid...

Hey all, it's been a minute since I've done a tutorial or help guide video, so I thought I'd get around to showing you the process of how I make my thumbnails. This is more so for those on an intermediate skill level with Photoshop, but I think the overall showcase might benefit those who are just beginners, too!
Designing thumbnails is one of my favourite parts of making videos, it's act...

Hey all, with the Keith Haring video now out of the way, thought I'd give a week's breather before posting again, save annoying you guys with constant emails.
In my Land of the Lustrous video I mentioned a Gravity Falls Giveaway exclusive to Patrons to go along with the GF video release!
The only terms and conditions to be entered into the giveaway is for you to be a Patron between ...

So hey, SURPRISE VIDEO!
I've been wanting to do a video on Keith Haring for a *long* time now, he's one of my absolute favourites and I love everything that he stood for.
I'm sure most are familiar with his work, but I wanted to make a video that not only gives context to his political standings and his willingness to spread awareness of important top...

The new video is here!! This one took a while to render out (maybe the humid weather didn't help my poor PC) but I finally got there!
This video does have spoilers for the manga. Moreso visually as I don't actually talk about the plot at all, funnily enough. This video, much like the Dungeon Meshi and Witch Hat videos, is all about the technique in discussion. This time, about negative sp...

Hey all, it's been a few weeks since the last update, and wanted to let you in on what's going on with the upcoming video and a reveal of what will be the next video!
The Houseki no Kuni video is about 60% complete! I'm hoping to get it out either end of this week, or begining of the next week - and I'm really pleased with how the process has gone so far. I hope you guys are looking forwa...

Hey all, so I woke up to a very lovely email from Youtube this morning saying that a company named Molebeat have claimed my Promare video, and have blocked it everywhere. Now, luckily, this isn't a strike, just a claim - the only positive here, tbh.
Few people I talk with among the anitube community (who've had experiences with Molebeat) say they don't back down...

Hey all, here's the next commentary video! For some reason youtube was copyright blocking this video on my second channel (despite the actual video being fine?) so I've had to upload it straight to Patreon this time.
I love this series a bunch, it's still one of my all time favourites and after having rewatched my video, I'm tempted to watch it all over again!

Hey all, so, surprise video!!!
Comic series "Something is Killing the Children" by James Tynion IV has been a favourite read of mine for a while now, and with a Netflix live adaptation (by the creators of Dark 😱) on the way, it felt fitting to push this series onto more people, because boy, is this comic fantastic.
If you're a fan of Stranger Things or The Promised Neverlan...
2023-05-05 17:46:17 +0000 UTC View PostHey all, the Promare video is finally here 🥳🥳 There's a *lot* of sources in this one, as there was plenty to pull apart from interviews, artbook scans and bts stuff the staff of Promare released. I adored this film when I saw it in the cinema, I remember being so buzzed when the credits came and wanting to rewatch it straight away.
The poll results were pretty 50/50 between th...
2023-04-21 14:16:09 +0000 UTC View PostHey all, here's the next commentary video, this time covering my most successful video - "Blue Period - The Dichotomy between Talent and Hard Work". This was a blast from the past (it's been 2 years since the upload of this video, can't believe it!) This video was the one that 'got me on the map', if you will, and is still one I get messaged about to this day.

2023-04-16 14:38:36 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone! So the good news is that my Patreon is all fixed and sorted now. Images/videos can now be uploaded 🎉
As an update, I've been hitting a few snags with the Spiderverse video, (don't worry, it's still being uploaded!) that aren't really on my end. Youtube has been claiming it quite a bit, so I've had to do a lot of re-editing, that i'm still doing, but getting there.

2023-04-14 11:56:31 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone! I'm so, so sorry for the delay in updating you guys, I mentioned it briefly in Discord, but I've been having trouble creating any posts on Patreon. I had made an update post more than a week back, and after having asked some of you on Discord, I found out that the post never went out. In fact, no posts were going out at all.
So, this last week, I've been ...
Hey everyone, thank you so much for the lovely responses to the Berserk video! It's been overwhelming lovely! 🙏
As the last few videos have been pretty manga related and heavily edited, I need a bit of a breather, as well as a pallete cleanser. So, the next video will be a little lighter editing wise (though hopefully no less in quality).
Meaning I'll be covering a film this time...

So last year I'd made it a goal to finally spend my time reading this famous behemoth of a manga. And I did! I read a whole whopping 94 chapters, finishing up the Golden Age Arc. It was definitely worth reading, if not just to try and experience what everyone supposedly has, but...
For the life of me, I couldn't fully immerse myself into the manga. I didn't like Berserk, but I also di...
2023-03-08 19:04:34 +0000 UTC View PostSo this tutorial was a long time coming (sorry, these tutorials actually end up being time consuming, I think it took me a couple of hours to do the tutorial alone before editing this video 😂 Will know that for the future!) . But many have asked for some tutorials on how I edit manga - or any still imagery, for that matter.
I tried to be as clear as I could throughout, but I'm still a ...

It's been around 5 days since I released my Dungeon Meshi video (which is doing surprising well algorithm wise, very shocked with its performance so far!) And, as promised, I said I'd get around to announcing the next video and its topic.
As you can see from the thumbnail design, this video will be covering Berserk - but not entirely. In fact, this video won't be 10 minutes of me...

IT'S HERE!!!!!!! My Dungeon Meshi video is now up for you guys to feast your eyes upon 😂 Things might be a little flashier with a new intro and outro (do let me know what you guys think of those changes). But overall, I'm so happy with this video.
Character design has been talked about within the manga community, but I always feel like it's on a very... Base-level scale?...
2023-01-27 19:39:57 +0000 UTC View PostHey all, I hope you had a lovely new years! I'm working my way through the Dungeon Meshi video still, I'm about 60% of the way through and I'm really liking how it's turning out. It's around the 20 minute mark, so there's been a lot of manga/illustration editing for this one.
I've also got a new intro and outro sorted out! With your guys' help here on Patre...

Happy new year everybody!! (Still a little early where I'm at, but I know there's a fair few who are already on 2023 time).
2022 was an interesting year for me on Youtube. I kept to my promise and made more videos than the previous year - (10 whole videos this year, and knowing how long it can take me to create manga videos, I consider this a pretty big...

Hey guys, it's been a minute since the last commentary (which is my bad, and I'll get onto them a lot better from now on). But this commentary follows my video on the game Uncharted: The Lost Legacy, and why it's my favourite game.
I haven't covered another game on the channel since, but games like Gris, Mirror's Edge and The Last of Us are potentially ones I'd think about covering ...

Hey guys, so this is a quick tutorial I've had a few people ask me about since I utislised it in my Chainsaw Man video, it's a pretty easy effect to create but does require a few step selections that I've hopefully made easy enough to follow.
As always, if anyone has other tutorials they'd like to see, be sure to let me know! 😊

Hey all, a week has gone by since the last video, so I'm just updating you on the next video project, which will be about the manga Dungeon Meshi by Ryoko Kui.
This video is going to be more similar to the Witch Hat Atelier panelling video, in that, the sole focus isn't on the manga technically, but the artistic approach I think it does tremendously (and if not, my favourite exam...

Hey guys, here's a new video for you all! It is shorter in legnth, but it's a video I've probably had the most fun with, both writing and editing. It's a video I've been wanting to do since before the channel was even made.
Lines in Motion, as a name, is a literal reference *to* animation. The channel wouldn't be here if it weren't for it, and its impact on my life, so it only seemed fair...

Hey guys! A week has gone by since I uploaded the CSM video for everyone, and now here's the behind the scenes of what goes into making a manga video! I hope this gives a better perspective on why it takes as long as it does, and even as to the steps I go through within the making process.
