I forgot to tell people to subscribe in the video. Uh please do that. Thanks. I really care about this video and I want more people to find it and enjoy it.
You shouldn't feel bad. The reason these things work is they make the art and story flow subconsciously. You're almost not supposed to notice. You're being lead on a ride
@@RDKelly12I need to see this so I can know if I'm doing it and should stop😂 since, I'm tryna be an artist, I gotta know how to spot this stuff and that means sacrificing the subconscious ride.... except with One Piece... there's no avoiding getting consumed by this world
One of my favorite transitions I discovered in reading One Piece that I was proud of discovering was when Luffy was talking with Zoro for the first time. After Luffy agreed to get Zoro's swords, he walks off and in the manga, Luffy walks to the left at the bottom of the page, prompting the reader to turn the page. It absolutely floored me the brilliance of such a simple transition.
@@HimanshuKupalSEC-A Luffy could have walked to the right and the flow of the manga would have been off. Having him walking to the next page enhances the reading experience
I love how that resonates so damn well with Asia's art, particularly zen art!! I learned this year in class that Ukiyo-e (very famous art pieces of Japan a good few years ago) valued the importance of light lines and simplicity of colors and lines, and I can totally see now that manga's style has inherited so many rules of it. It's really, really cool
I thought I was going to hear some shallow praises and basic panelling stuff I already knew, but I genuinely learned a lot with this video. Your script is sharp and ties everything together very nicely, and the editing helps a lot in visualizing what you're saying! Thanks for recommending me this, algorithm
i started the channel cause i wanted to do better than the usual kinds of shallow paneling analysis, yeah. and i appreciate the praise of the script. the editing is what grabs everyone's attention, and for good reason cause McIce did an incredible job, but i also spent a looooong time on refining the script.
Yes please. I rarely hate ppl appreciating the paneling in manga and how important it is to the story. Page turns are also extremely helpful to impact in these scenes. It’s real nice to hear that break down cuz it’s one of my favourite things about this medium.
Damn bro, just like Oda, you really stepped up with the editing on this one, clean editing. Edit: oh lol well props to mcice he did great And yeah this is definitely one of the best chapters Oda ever did, really feels like the culmination of decades worth of experience drawing manga, he has the science of it down.
Paneling and visual stroytelling is such an underappreciated aspect of One Piece and I’m so glad you’re talking about it! This video was truly enlightening and I wanna reread my favorite OP fights now with these rules in mind. I hope you get the recognition you deserve for your hard work!
Arguably one of the best art analyses I've ever seen in my life. You can learn literal years of art theory within this one single video. I'll be recommending it to everyone I can, fans of One Piece or not.
I gotta be honest, I did not click on this video with a favorable mindset, but man was my expectations subverted. I discovered this channel today, and I've binged all the videos dissecting previous fights. What a competent way of analyzing that just oozes quality. If you ever get the time, I would love to see an analysis of the Luffy v. Blueno fight. There's just visually something about that fight, and the way it presents Gear 2nd that has had me captured ever since I read it as a kid, and I cannot put my finger on what it is that makes it so great for me. Keep making amazing videos, I will be here for every single one you'll drop in the future
Luffy vs. Blueno has a special place in my heart. I couldn't tell you it has writing or themes on the level of many other fights, but I'm the same as you - experiencing Gear 2 for the first time changed me, when I was younger. It's a fight I'll absolutely tackle someday.
Really, many people has told you already, but a massive THANK YOU for helping us understanding and valuing even more Odacchi 🙏🏽. People already love him for many things, and yet there is something else to discover about him. This is insane. Also, Werb, thanks for all the effort put into this video and every one you make. Seriously, not only you seem like a nice and funny person (at least to me), I also admire how you're able to analyze "Oda 's language" and explain it in an easy way to understand ✨🌸😊
As someone who'd like to make a comic, I find great solace and appreciation for your content as it allows me to visualize aspects of my medium that will greatly increase the quality of my own product whilst also increasing my understanding and perceived value of works of others, for this I thank you
This fight is my favorite fight of all time tbh. It's the only fight that I can rewatch again and again without being bored of it. The whole build up, the Snake Man, the powerful attacks, and the contrast between Katakuri and Luffy... You just said all that I love with this fight. I just can't wait to see Katakuri fighting again. Thank you for this video man. It was insane ✨
I’ve never watched or even heard anything about paneling and shit, mainly bc I don’t read manga (I prefer anime), but this video was still really intriguing. The topic had me hooked, and the simplistic yet easy-to-follow editing style helped with that, plus the background music was a nice cherry on top (W for putting the music in the description btw). This video was overall really nice to watch, keep it up 👍
I'm only 1min in but the editing on the vid is amazing it really shows the time put in this video right of the bat ( motion design isn't as easy and not as fast as it appear to do (I would know) so congrats to the editor !!! )
Your anlysis are so interesting ! I love that this video re-explained a lot of things I learned through your previous videos, it's like an actual masterclass. I'm really gonna end up reading Scott McCloud if you continue like this. Also there is so much to unpack in that fight, in every aspect of it, oda is really too good.
Only a few minutes in and this is a phenomenal video. As a mnagaka myself One piece was the first time I felt truly captivated by comic panelling… Oda is absolutely brilliant and has one of the most fun reading experiences in manga.
Genuinely one of the best videos I've seen on panelling, it teaches you a lot of different techniques and deepends appreciation for yhe source material. Hope you keep making analytical videos like this.
This video is WILD, man! Absolutely stunning, I loved the way you explained such complex topics of panelling, making them easy to understand. Also, now I love Luffy vs Katakuri even more! Hope you receive the support you deserve, and congrats for the great video!
¡¡WOW!! I haven't read the manga before and i was expecting the final panel would be a masterclass of all the rules in the video with an ultra epic panel, but instead oda just leave that panel to your imagination, and you can see it easily in your mind thanks to the previous panels. Its just amazing
From someone here from the start, I objectively think that this video is the best (even if my favorite one stays franky vs nero because it made me realise so much). Truly the BEST🧡
When I first read whole cake I felt that it was my favorite arc but I wasn't sure why. I know understand more of the narrative and story because of melontee, and now I understand why this fight is my favorite in all of one piece. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart thank you for making me fall in love with this fight again. What you are doing is invaluable to the one piece community. Much love.
tbh i think Morj is underrated for this stuff these days. a lot of people just expect chapter reviews and theories from him now, but he was the one who first made thematic analysis of one piece BIG on youtube. his video on the themes of Whole Cake Island changed the game when it first came out; so much of the community was considering it a weaker arc, and Morj came out and made it clear just how thematically rich and well-designed it was. the video might be five years old now but it's absolutely worth going back to. Craftsdwarf doesn't post that often and doesn't post only about OP, but a lot of his older videos on OP dig pretty deep into it in cool ways too. though i sometimes disagree with how he looks at it, he brings a great perspective.
@@Werb I'll check out crafts :o I know of morj more as a theory guy but it might be worth looking back on his older content. I don't mean to knock their content, but I think that yours is really creative and quality (: keep it up please
Mcice did SUCH a good job editing this video. Shoutouts to you! Absolutely superb! And as for you, Werb, the analysis was incredible, and as much as I have gushed about and analyzed this fight on my own, you still managed to present me new perspectives and reasons as to why I love it so damn much. Keep up the good work.
Incredible video Werb! You explained all your points flawlessly and made them very easily understandable. I knew I was right in believing in you right from the first video I watched on your channel!
I thought this was done by like a million + subscriber channel the quality of your vids are amazing keep it up definitely one of the best anime RUclipsrs right now
I hope to cover every major fight eventually, yeah. I don't know what format those videos will take, because the Rules-based structure I took for this video probably can't be repeated, but I'll figure something out.
@Werb How about something like 'Panel to Scene' comparison? You can compare how the intricacies of the Pannels are translated directly into the Anime or maybe the differences between them due to the very nature of the medium
@@primesonic4459 the problem with that is i would have to watch the anime lol In all seriousness, that's not a bad idea, at least for one fight. I'd have to do research on which fight has an adaptation that most exemplifies what I think can be lost when moving from manga to anime. Could be interesting.
Youre awesome dude, these are so enlightening and interesting. Your videos give me more content from each chapter so I look forward to them weekly :D Congrats on 10k views, although you deserve way more.
What a great analysis, i've bought all the manga collection and just a few days ago i finished whole cake island, reading this capter was beautiful but now i can finally give a tecnical explanation of why it felt great! I'll re read the chapter again while keeping in mind what i've learned from this video later, thank you!
your teasing the last few weeks let us eat this delicious meal ... anyways, was thinking you stepped up your editing with this one, but that explanation at the end explained it! now, when I start my next reread, I have another dimension to pay attention to - thank you very much !!!
First time on this channel, the name Werb = Weeb + Nerd is simple but effective, just like this video. Edit: This was REALLY good. Professional and fun at the same time! Even the background music tunes chosen were pristine! Hollow Knight, Undertale, and the likes~
I haven't watched one piece in over five years, I haven't read regularly in about 3, but I completely agree. It still stands as one of the greatest pieces of comic book art and storytelling in my opinion. It breaks down what I see as the stereotypical masculine archetype and allows someone to achieve peace, finally letting someone else take over for a change. Beautiful.
Have you read many other comic books/manga? I agree with storytelling but in terms of fights, One Piece is among the worst. And the art is also kinda 🤨 compared to... everything else in the genre. I feel like a lot of people claim that One Piece is the best [insert genre/buzzword] ever, while they haven't seen/read anything other than One Piece in the genre.
This was an amazing video and the topic itself is very interesting but this is the first time i realized Luffy never has a thought bubble, that's so cool
The cool things aboit this fights is that we know the limits of the fighters and is entertaining seeing them trying to break through their limits using their ideals to beat their opponents. Thats why even though g5 is funny i really cant find those fights as entertaining as before. Because luffy now has no limits

consider it done 🫡 this video rocked, and i loved your one on the bellamy fight too
I didn't realize how much thought goes into paneling that I just took for granted as I read
it's fun to think about it, but just having fun reading without worrying about how it works is fine too
You shouldn't feel bad. The reason these things work is they make the art and story flow subconsciously. You're almost not supposed to notice. You're being lead on a ride
I can appreciate oda's really excellent paneling because I've also read some manga with terrible paneling
@@RDKelly12I need to see this so I can know if I'm doing it and should stop😂

channel so good that I wanna retire my secret channel because I feel out of my depth😭🤌
"Rules are just tools" and I knew I was in for a Serious Video. Great breakdown
i did not want anyone thinking that i was laying out objective rules. that would be wack.
My favorite panel from this chapter was when Katakuri realized what's going on , we can feel the time stopped
it would be my favorite too if the big panel on the final page wasn't such a culmination of everything
