    Manga: Bibliomania
    Song: The Greatest Living Show by Toby Fox & Itoki Hana
    DISCLAIMER: Be wary of flashing lights, graphic content and quick motion of images. Viewer discretion is advised.
    Bibliomania is a twelve chapter psychological, horror manga written by Orval and illustrated by Macchiro. It unfortunately isn't well known, so hopefully this video will at least encourage a few of you to give it a read. This video only covers 8 of the 12 chapters and features minimal dialogue. For the full experience, I encourage finding a means to read it yourself, it never had a full English release unfortunately so hardcopies are only available in a few select languages (I have a hard copy thats entirely in spanish lol).

    I liked the room with the solider, that wanted to become a bird. No ulterior motives, no sick fantasy, just a broken men that wanted to be free from all the cruelty of this world.
    Pretty poetic, you know.

    Anyone notice how to rot sometimes reflects the room she leaves. Like when she originally leaves her room, her hand grows strawberries (which topped the deserts she ate) and when she leaves the bird room she grows feathers on her arm.

    I liked how Alice had shown genuine sympathy for the sick girl in room 276 instead of the indifference and disdain which she normally showed to the other tenants of the other rooms, excluding the room of the executioner, cause she deserved to enjoy life at least a little

      It's such a subtle and sweet moment in this story. I also like that it's admist what feels like a montage of Alice trying to hurry through rooms, only for that moment to take a little pause.

    Did... did this archetypal "pure girl" win against the evil entities that wanted to consume her!? I was sure until the end that this would be a cautionary tale of sorts, but she lowkey heard the "warnings" of that thing and said "bet." AND ACTUALLY ESCAPED WHOLE AND WITH A S M I L E . THAT'S ACTUALLY SO BADASS

    • @TheMickellPickell
      @TheMickellPickell  Год назад +809

      Alice's determination is honestly both inspiring and downright disturbing. The question of the whole series is "Why is she SO determined to escape this place, despite knowing that supposed *sudden death* awaits?" and then when you reach the 8 chapter mark (roughly where this animation ends), you are left wondering "Why was she able to escape, when everyone else couldn't?".

    This way of animating the original panels looks a bit weird at first, but with further visionings (and after reading the manga), it's actually really cool
    Every movement looks off, too smooth, making the characters and scenes slide like ghostly beings. But that just goes SO well with the unsettling atmosphere of Bibliomania !
    It looks a bit like a puppet show, you know - every element moves on its own with a mechanical vibe. Which greatly enhances the 'weird, but beautiful too' feeling we get from the original material .

    • @TheMickellPickell
      @TheMickellPickell  5 месяцев назад +11

      My animation style is heavily dependent on the puppet tool so most of my animations do tend to look like a Wayang performance, though this one I deliberately made characters glide around the screen with stiffer motions to really emulate that effect. I wanted this MMV to feel like a pop-up book so I'm glad that your take-away was similar to what i had envisioned in the edit.

    BIBLIOMANIA MOMENT !!!!! mickell you are so goated with the sauce for this one istg
    ok but like seriously this is just so good??? maybe it's just your experience with animating the mia manga, but the fact you're able to animate even the most detailed of panels and still make it look good is so fucking cool man, plus the presentation is really good, it quick to fit on pace with the song and yet leaves a trail of mystery regardless with the lack of dialogue that provides most of the context behind what's going on lol it makes the manga feel even more like one of those dreams where it's logic is so strange and bizarre but you can't help but follow along as it warps and twists into ways you didn't think were imaginable to the eyes, but the human conscious is more vivid than we typically perceive it as, so too can the same be said about the human desire, even at it's worst...
    also putting together the greatest living show and bibliomania??? actual giga-brain move it fits so well and i never realized it until now

      Jake you madman, still as generous as ever I see. The manga is on mangadex and comick in English but never in it's short run got an OFFICIAL English translation, and therefore never got an English print. Still recommend checking it out though!

      You're SUCH A GIGA-CHAD! Every single video I swear to god, you're far too generous for your own good brother!
      This is a short, psychological-horror manga called "Bibliomania". Unfortunately there is no english physical release, but you can find high quality english translations on Mangakalot and Mangadex. While I wouldn't want to spoil the series, I'll give you the VERY basic premise:
      A girl name Alice awakens into a white room, when a serpent figure approaches her and says she can have whatever she wants providing she stays in her room. But for some reason she protests and is insistent on leaving this world of dreams. However, the further from her original room she is, the further her body will begin to dis-configure itself. The point being that this world is meant to trap its inhabitants by fulfilling their dreams and desires. The question is, why would Alice want to escape such a blissful world? And who are the other occupants who reside in such a realm? Those are the main, driving factors of this story.
      Unfortunately its an INCREDIBLY underground story, as it never took off as a manga. I'm hopeful this video will help inspire more people to give it a read. Because despite it being so short, it says so much in such a short amount of time.
