I love manga for a lot of reasons, and one of them is the fact that there are so many amazing works that are exclusive to the medium. It's nice to see a more niche artist given some attention, good video!

You're in for a ride 💥

"These stars are shining just for you."

Found a new artist I love thank you oneric🔥🔥

Thanks onieric very cool

Oneiric keep cooking!

Hey, Nice vid! Btw, are you reading Nihei's new series "Tower Dungeon", if yes, do you plan on making a vid on it?

I remember saying "Oh no" as soon as the professor name drop the title on his daughter. Never a good sign when stories do that so soon.

It's very appropriate that in the face of impending doom, humans will still find petty things to bitch about, or will deflect entirely. Good to see you back with more quality content!

Being a big cosmic horror fan, i really fell in love with this manga the first time i read it. There something so special in this one, i thinks the charaters being so impactfull yet so helpless create the very horror i crave in this genre. Them having so much knowledge and just being overhelm by the speed of the evenements is terrifing. anyways, always love to see your videos !

Great video again as always! This is a very cool christmas surprise, keep up the good work! I loved the analysis of Herd mentality and really didn't expect it to go that way going into the video!

Thanks for the Christmas present 😊

hellstar remina gotta be my favorite junji ito story

This is a true work of passion, showing respect to a highly underrated story piece about Love Death Guilt Forgiveness Continuing on in the face of tragedy… And Star Wars.

On the first view of the city, I cannot help but see it as Böcklin's Isle of the Dead.

I'm a reviewer but i just read it to enjoy it

I did NOT go into this video thinking my emotional takeaway would be that I'd want to wake my gf up and give her a huge hug...and that maybe doing the dishes ain't all that bad.

I watch a lot of Yt essays....i watch /read/listen to A LOT of art/media. I did just finish working a 11 hour double, but I haven't felt so in over my head in as long as i can remember. 😅. Since im CERTAIN that I'm ALWAYS the "smartest guy in the room", I'm going to attribute this feeling of inferiority to YOUR poor communication of concepts and I'll even come back to edit this and say something meaner if I think of anything good. I'm also going to ignore the gnawing feeling in the back of my mind that this was a BRILLIANT video that did this often poorly explored work of art some real justice...BUT that's just a feeling. Meaningless. Clearly not the truth. Merely the lizard brain itching. My intellect, my ego know the truth...You are STUPID! STUPID! STUPID! Thank you for the excellent video essay 😉 i am in awe of your talent.

Hey there, Oneiric! I remember you commenting on my Fire Punch mmv, seeing that you are a "content creator", I then proceeded to check out some of your videos (namely Fire Punch ending and the big big fire punch documentary, and frieren flower video as well as biomega one, (a few months later)) I was a bit confused because I had seen really high-quality content from this guy(you), who had been posting videos of this caliber for a long time, yet had such a low following. It, quite frankly, didn’t make sense to me. I myself was faced with a similar issue as you, but as you can easily tell, our contents highly differ! haha. During the period of 2018 to 2022 I was pretty much at a standstill, but then due to the newest season of AOT airing, my older video from 2021, got A LOT of traction (probably due to the video title, which had a lot of meaning in AOT's story at that particular season), which fueled some additional regular viewers to my channel, but ever since that short period, I haven't really had a successful video, which really feels like a kick to the b*lls, ;DD. I understand your feelings regarding this, because at the start, I too didn't care too much about high viewership counts or something like that. Eventually, I realised that an increasing viewership does help you create the mental image that you are actually improving your "skills" or just making progress in general. And not having this "luxurious symbol" of progress, well, it kinda sucks... So what is the conclusion? Create higher and higher level content and in time gather a sizeable channel? But even so, that doesn't guarantee anything and its not like anyone really owes you or me to make that a reality. But regarding you, I really hope you continue to make videos, as I do enjoy them ;)). Although, if I really had to critique anything, you should definitely begin to add timestamps to your videos, I do know that in some cases it hurts long-form content creators, but if most of your viewers quit watching the video 10-30 seconds in, atleast you might me able to retain some of them. Because, if they read an interesting timestamp they might fastforward to that exact point/remark that you are making and "latch on" onto the video better or it might help them decide if any of the future contents/chapters, that they are about to see in the video even interest them, since your kind of content requires a lot of time and attention from the viewer.

Holy moly, I think ur videos r so good. I’m just binge watching them.

I am sorry that I only discovered this channel today. I recently finished Fire Punch so I started looking for some videos to better understand how to interpret the ending since it left me very confused, I came across your video on the ending and I was enchanted by your way of narration and illustration, a real masterpiece. By coincidence I became aware of your channel just 7 days after you posted this video which I hope is not the last. I am sorry that your passion and work that you have put in these four years has not been repaid with what you deserved. I hope you would not abandon that and continue maybe with the hope that one day you will get what you deserve, thank you for what you create, as of now you have a new subscriber! p.s sorry if I misspelled something, I am Italian and not very good at English

such a great video, i love when you cover tsutomu nihei's works,

this video hit hard for me, i relate to everything as an artist, im happy some people like my manga, but i want more

This manga made live the most curse words

My friend, don't even for a moment think the algorithm pushes forward better or more enjoyable content and don't even for a moment take it to heart as criticism for your character or content. It's random bullshit. Viewer retention is abysmally low even on the most viewed videos on this platform, especially on video essay content, that's just how it is. I see that very often you get comments about how your videos and channel are too high quality and interesting for the amount of traction they get and it's true and that means a lot, there aren't many channels your size with such positive feedback dropping so often.

Man, it was just like a blink of an eye coming from your "3 years" recap. I feel you. The entire landscape of making content (not just youtube) has been brutal to creatives who have high integrity with their works. No doubt due to the algorithm. They herd the views, but do not concern about niche content. People by and large have been conditioned into gravitating towards a few kinds of content, urging creators to 'adapt or be replaced', which limits artistic expressions. Numbers continue to take more and more priorities, everyone appease to the formula, everyone become samey, and even the audiences get fatigued. What's next after that stage? And who will survive long enough to see it? I can only wish the table turns itself around for the betterment of everyone. There comes a time when I've come to terms with the fact that "luck" plays a huge part in any sort of success we all aim to get. Big or small. But even so, that gap between grabbing a lucky star from below ground level is somehow still widening into unexpected territories. Sometimes, that feeling turns into fuel. While it also eats into me. And to whoever already got the star, I bet it's another hellish cycle of thinking "How am I going to keep this up?" "How do I stay relevant?" From what I notice, the struggles from those on top has been seeping out for awhile already. It's really less about you being 'boring' compares to someone who're good at making goofy faces on the thumbnail. One type of video 'sells better' than the others, but few of those could hit a deeper level of connection of one of your output. Admitted you stand on niche grounds even within anitube, but a unique voice no doubt. By the end of this video, I feel like you understand the situation yourself. But I empathize with the mindset all these factors led you into. At least the way you share your thoughts here are vigorous enough that I still see spunk in you! I would even suggest you use this cadence (but channel the negativity vibe into a positive one) in one of your future videos. If you need some sauce to kick off some coming important project of yours, holler at me. I can provide more than just my voice y'know 😏 Still glad I was able to play a small part in one of your video this year ✌

ill always support you man, keep doing ur thing i love your videos and cant wait to see what you have planned. Its disappointing that ur videos don't get the recognition they deserve. I think ur videos r really interesting and not boring at all, i hold them in very high regard. Honestly i think ur amazing for what youve been able to do, wishing u all the best man!

We've talked about various aspects of the general anitube community, but I would never ever say that you or your content are boring. Quite the opposite, it's your personality and way of presenting that got me interested over other channels. The algorithm is extremely deceptive in this way because of what it caters to, and WHO it caters to. A lot of people will never comment (I'm usually one of them), and that isn't your fault at all. That said, the quality over quantity approach might mean that the right people will comment. Ultimately, doing the content for yourself is the most important thing to remember. Of course, being busy is completely understandable, and balancing everything can be a challenge, so just do what you feel like. I hope you'll continue for a while despite the circumstances, you're a very soulful person who makes great stuff.

I don't think you're boring and I think a lot of the videos are extrenely engaging. Even the last video before this one the Angel Egg video really pushes a lot of boundries and tries and manages to do a lot of what essentially is engaging. I think the videos you make should always be content you'd watch, you need to make the videos for you not neccesarly for your audience. I hope you get the strength to pick yourself up and get the power to keep going.

Hey at least I watch your videos to the end, so thanks for making them

Never heard of Homonculus but this video is seriously making me consider giving it a read.Very interesting stuff and as usual presentation is stellar.

I decided to check out this video essay since you commented on a video of mine and although I knew nothing about Angel's Egg at the start. I've been pleasently surprised once, twice thrice. I realized this is an amazing video essay, something truly to aspire towards. A meta-physical analysis featuring all refrences and themes that could be made from a work of art. It's amazing work and I think if it had a different title or thumbnail it would've done amazing since it has all the hallmarks of an amazing video. I would have definetely titled it different. About the fish you theorized as being Leviathan, I'd much rather go along with your ludo-narrative refrences to the Bible and say it's more like the fish Jonah was stuck in. An amazing analysis of a true Classic, good job! You deserve more attention!

Leuvis is by far the single best villain in the promised neverland. this is awesome. keep it up!

@RUclips Front page please :)

this is truly peak hail agni

looks similar to the presidential palace of indonesia's new capital.

You will make it big. You deserve it

Do you have myanimelist? Care to share

Discussions like these are some of my favorite when it comes to philosophy, particularly surrounding the idea of religion. I think my favorite visual from what was shown of the anime was the man standing on the "chessboard." I like the visual of making different moves in life, yet none of them bringing you closer to God, who's not even on the board to begin with. Granted, in my case, while I do enjoy entertaining the concept of religion, my stance is firmly grounded in realism due to my own beliefs/experiences. Nihilism is also part of that equation, and while not necessarily negative, it does have a sad beauty to it. Our solitude away from God, or the idea of God, gives us freedom to do what we want. Nihilism gives us the motivation to embrace that freedom. Though like you said, true freedom is only found in death, so we simply work with what we've got. At the same time, others want to fully believe in a God that can save them. While I may view religion as more of a coping mechanism, their stance would be completely opposite. It's Schrödinger's egg (in this case), where God can be both alive and dead at the same time. What matters is how you wish to view the world, and both views are equally valid. Great work on this video, enjoyed it a lot!

Thanks for having me! It's an honor to be part of this huge video. More thoughts to chew on with this masterpiece.

I thought this video had 3M views but it doesn't. THE MOST UNDERRATED THING IN HISTORY

It looks amazing! Is this video complete?

Best video on Fire Punch in all of internet.
