I LOVE the narrator in Kaiji, and although I was disappointed he didn’t make a return for the Tonegawa spin-off, I can appreciate his own style and level of intensity.
Yeah both narrators seem to be very much in the right spirit, the Tonegawa one perhaps even more-so, since it took a while for the Kaiji narrator to get that hype (it was largely late s1-s2) and this new one was sounding just like he was narrating professional wrestling haha
So great to see Fukumoto getting more coverage! I've had friends avoid his work because of his style, but for me the style is a huge part of what makes his work so great. I loved how you described the narrator as a "hype man." That's the perfect description for him, and I can't believe I never thought of that. One of the few narrators I've become emotionally "attached" to over the years and I really hope he returns for the Tonegawa anime.
I don't think they announced a staff, but it's at least Madhouse, and they had the same narrator from s1 (2007) to s2 (2011), I'm sure they can get him back :)
YESS! A FKMT video! So glad to see one about my favorite author. Although Tonegawa's manga is not really made by FKMT (despite him being labeled as the author), it does share the same aesthetic.
Beautiful editing and great analysis of a brilliant artist such as Fukumoto. Although skeptical at first, I've been enjoying the hell out of this series about Tonegawa, didn't think the man was so good at writing comedies too.
Has anyone ever noticed that Fukimotos characters have double the amount of teeth in there jaw/lower half then in upper half? That is also part of his aesthetic.
I've been wanting a Kaiji video from me too LOL I was so worried I wouldn't be able to make this for a while, like until after April or something, but I totally forgot I had spring break this week and just pumped it out start to finish! ^_^
Artwise, the Kaiji anime especially season 2 are extremely impressive. While other anime have very flat faces, Kaijis face is basically a 3D model with all the geometric edges and planes that make up the face. Its very impressive when the camera pans around a side view to a front view and it still all makes sense
I was so impressed by that too! The animators did a *really* great job. Good design made it possible to do all the action scenes and extreme camera angles. That adds extra drama to the show and it is so beautiful to watch.
ayyyyy I was worried cause it doesn't exactly represent the video stylistically, but I couldn't resist, I had the title chosen for SO LONG AND I JUST HAD TO!! XD
I was rewatching some of your videos. I wish you uploaded more often since you are hands down one of the best manga-anime analysis channels out there. The editing in this video is superb and seeing your perfect grasp on what makes Fukumoto's story & art presentation style so intriguing is an incredibly satisfying experience and it makes me very happy.
Thank you very much! I currently have my hands full with something irl but I'm working on content for when I come back. It might not be as visually intensive as these videos cause they just take so long and I want to have more content on my channel, but they're sure to be pretty good so I hope you look forward to them ^_^
This perfectly encapsulates my feelings for Fukumoto’s artstyle, I couldn’t have said this better myself. Great video man, and I’m glad I could find people who also appreciate Fukumoto’s spectacular way of visual storytelling
That sound effect always has me dying laughing.. I love that about the show, the little nuances & hi jinx they tend to over exaggerate- just makes the show even more incredible.
this is a top tier anime and manga channel. i had seen the berserk video already but didn't actively seek out the user. fukumoto hits close to home and this video was so good it inspired me to go watch the rest of your stuff and seeing you were the berserk guy was a pleasant surprise.
Glad to hear I was able to convince you to stick around! ^_^ I will admit Berserk represents a paradigm shift in my content, everything before it (except my Moomin video that doesn't use spoken dialogue) was very conventional in visuals. I had so much fun making the Berserk vid the way I did I never wanted to go back to full screen anime footage.
What the fuck man, this is so well edited and so well done. You earned a subscriber. Fukumoto is one of my favourites mangakas of all time, and only discovered him the past year! (I'm about to finish the Akagi manga right now, sweet lord those draws) It's just so unique and I love every detail put on the characters thoughts and emotions. Definitely looking forward for more people to experience it.
Thank you!! I must admit dude I still feel like I'm playing catch up to some of the shit you're able to come up with in your vids. Keep being awesome! ^_^
I dunno if you're reading the Kaiji manga, but I'm pretty sure One Poker is ending pretty soon at least in Japan (translation is like 5 or 6 volumes behind). I think they've been holding off because EVERYTHING post s2 has happened over the course of one night, so I'm holding out that the end of Tonegawa ushers in Kaiji s3 and it's like 50 eps or more. That's my ideal scenario at least.
God that means so much to me, thank you! I really wanted to make a video doing Fukumoto justice, and while I wasn't able to convey the full scope of his work, like I couldn't even scratch the surface of how good Kurosawa and Kaiji are (One Poker especially) (also I'm a bad Fukumoto fan I still haven't read Akagi or Ten or Gin to Kin or Zero, but I plan to sometime, I have the Akagi anime cued up) I am happy I was able to articulate exactly why I love this man's style.
I'm planning to make a video on the Kaiji manga and coming back here to see how you edited this video really made me appreciate how much work got put into it. It's really quite amazing.
As a big fan I just have to add. Fukumoto does this to reflect the emotions of his characters. Despite being about very slow games of cards, dice, plinko and mahjong they often have lives at stake. If you were betting your life like this, time would slow to a crawl and you'd react tenfold to things most people do subconsciously The aesthetic also makes up for the very dark undertones and lack of cute anime girls. I mean Kaiji's in crippling debt for the initial 13 volumes, and by nr 14 it's only gotten worse
This is a top tier quality video, I realy like the effort and style of editing. Damn. You get a sub from me. This could potentially be turned into a series. If you keep producing videos like these and do the right amount of marketing I expect to stumble upon your channel a in a year with many more subs!
Nice taste in manga, I love kaiji so much, just a request can you analyze togashis style also, people tend to say hes art is bad but for me hes style is great, more l Power to you mate.
Of all of Fukumoto's manga that got an anime adaptation, I wish Zero got an anime. I see it as Kaiji but more accessible since Kaiji can be pretty hard to watch at times (I was so fucking nervous during the human derby), and Zero is just a more optimistic protagonist. And if a more accessible series of Fukumoto were to be adapted it'd have a chance to reach a bigger audience and maybe we could get Blu-Ray releases and US releases of some of Fukumoto's manga I can't find decent scans of like Gai. *sigh* I can dream at least
I'm looking forward to reading Zero and Gai, they look super fun!Yea right my original drafts had me mourning and lamenting over how unrepresented his series are at least in the west, you can only read 13/62 vols of Kaiji on Bookwalker, that's it. Apparently Tonegawa is getting an anime cause it's surprisingly popular (I can see why, from what I read it's an absolute riot), but yea hopefully this show could signal boost things more, these things usually do. I'm holding my breath to see if this means they might go back to adapting more Kaiji, I have a feeling they were holding out cause everything till has been over the span of one night, so PERHAPS they've just been waiting for One Poker to wrap up, which I think either has or will VERY VERY soon.
I just read the scans on Kissmanga. Could you give me a link to those scans? I just finished Part 2 of Zero and need a Fukumoto manga not about mahjong
I want a 20min video making sense of the change of narrator for the tonegawa show. My theory is that both are variants of kabuki narration, but changing it at all is such a betrayal that makes no sense.
I just don't see the point of making a stink about it if they're still keeping in the same spirit. I'd rather a different narrator than without one OR one without any energy. This one at least has the same camp factor giving us gems like "NUMBER TWO!!" (wow that hard R!) and "POWERPOINTTT!!" I also haven't seen Akagi but I believe it also has a narrator, but I'm not sure if it's the same one. If it isn't you could make the argument they want a different narrator for every series (since this is a spin off of Kaiji and not ACTUALLY Kaiji).
oh, I was joking, I can't imagine anyone going on for 20 minutes about it. I think that episode 1 had the most out of place sounds, like, it was harder to get what words he was focusing on while Kaiji's was very evident. Akagi's feels tamer than both, pretty generic, but I haven't watched any crazy scenes yet.
When I looked up the manga online, I saw that certain sources differ in who they credit with making the Tonegawa manga. For example, Fukumoto isn't mentioned at all on the MAL page, but on mangaupdates Fukumoto is listed. If the manga isn't Fukumoto's work it's certainly surprising and whoever actually penned it did a really good job at replicating his style.
Great stuff dude! Always interesting when we discuss it and then I see the finished thing. Question though, do you believe the anime suffers from being in color? I love the contrast that he has in the manga between his negative and positive spaces and I believe some of that raw tension of black vs white space is somewhat lost with color.
I can certainly believe that take, and in a lot of the shots in the anime color does make everything seem more normalized. I do think it makes up for that in those many shots of the exaggerated backgrounds with these swaths of color and bathing the characters in different light. And there's also good use of atmospheric lighting that gives some scenes more gravitas which the manga can't exactly implement, ala the lighting effects I added in these shots from 2:53 and 2:58 and this shot at 7:11.
I watched Kaiji purely because of the aesthetic and then got hooked pretty much immediately. I guess in a way it is "ugly" but that's in such a complicated way that I had to see more. Bring on Tonegawa! Kaiji S3 when!?
I wanna say soon since they've probably held off on animating it until the arc is over. Everything post anime has taken place over the course of ONE NIGHT, so I'm assuming they've been waiting for that to be complete before animating it, though at this point it's so long (ABOUT 300 chapters?) it's sort of unlikely. Lowkey hoping the Tonegawa anime is meant to usher it in, though the reason it's being made is purely because it's actually quite popular in Japan.
I'd LOVE to hear your thought on the anime after it's conclusion. The change of tone of the show and change in narrator, Tonegawa's VA, etc... I'd love to hear it.
So far it's not really any different from the manga, it's largely a gag series and the anime largely kept the aesthetics of the Kaiji anime, including the larger than life narrator (which yeah I can't help but have bias towards the old one, but this one has had plenty of his own shining moments). Personally it's been too long since I've heard the original Tonegawa's voice, so I don't really mind/notice the change in his voice, I think this current one fits great :)
Tonegawa runs gallantly He is just living in the present It is the gift of effort, not genius Unreasonable demands come today as well It's expectedly difficult But still, I do it, Because it's my role Being scared of human relationships Is nothing new But to be honest, being scared of it You have to embody the trick to living through it A life rich with ups and downs I had to keep my sleeves rolled up Or people would pass me by You don't notice when you're running Don't bring everything from yesterday Just live today Tonegawa runs gallantly He is just living in the present It is the gift of effort, not genius I was fulfilled by not being fulfilled Doing whatever I wanted Please just do it Do it today

Years later, it's still a 10/10 video and one of my favorite anime video on youtube.
Yeah it held up crazy well, I wish more of my vids were this tight 😩
The original Kurosawa deserves an anime. It's too perfect.
Why isn't it read more? I wouldn't call it manga, I would call it literature
@@VVeltanschauung187 really ? havent read the kaiji manga yet i've only watched the anime but i only want to start reading it

that narrator announces the next episode's name in golden kamuy
to hype for it I guess
yeah, and I'm pretty sure they confirmed it's not the same narrator unfortunately, but at least there IS a narrator :P
Been waiting for this video! The narrator is totally a hypeman, and I'm sure Kaiji hates it!
KUYASHIIIIIIIIIII
YourBeed He hates it!
Kaiji is extremely underrated. Every Fukumoto video lightens my heart. Thank you
Killer editing and video as always.
No, it was on purpose.
YESS! A FKMT video! So glad to see one about my favorite author.
Although Tonegawa's manga is not really made by FKMT (despite him being labeled as the author), it does share the same aesthetic.
Thank you! I do have that mentioned in the description! :)
Great video. Your editing is insane. I love it.

Has anyone ever noticed that Fukimotos characters have double the amount of teeth in there jaw/lower half then in upper half? That is also part of his aesthetic.
6:09 it's also the case here. Lower half has two and the upper has one. Really nice style.
Been wanting a Kaiji video ever since I discovered you. You just made me gain new appreciation for this serie.
I've been wanting a Kaiji video from me too LOL I was so worried I wouldn't be able to make this for a while, like until after April or something, but I totally forgot I had spring break this week and just pumped it out start to finish! ^_^
GODDAMN this was a great video. The amount of effort you put is astounding.
I'm so glad this channel exist so I can see analysis of shows I'll probably won't get too soon (if ever)
Omg the 4-6th parts of the Kaiji manga are so fucking good, just had to let that out..

Always so refreshing to see other people fawn over my favourite writer/artist the way he deserves. Thanks for this video 🤘
I love his unique drawing style and the way he tells stories so much! He's become my favorite mangaka very quickly!
Only got into Fukomoto's work a couple of months ago but now I can't get enough. Great video! His style of writing really strikes a chord with me.
boi this vid is so well edited, love ittt

Man that one scene made me absolutely love the narrator in the anime.
Mr. Tonegawa is insanely funny, and brilliant! It’s the anime version of The Office, in my opinion.. simply hilarious!
Tonegawa is also such a dad there it's impossible to dislike him afterwards
the most kino video on youtube
Probably the greatest since the beginning of drawings on the caves.

You’re content is never not amazing. Proud of you
Also since you’ve already seen Ashita no Joe read Yotsubato
good idea!
really well done, love Fukumoto anything
Fukumoto's artstyle reminds me of traditional ancient Japanese artwork, but within a modern context, & with that Picasso-esque touch to it! 😁
I love coming back to this :)
As a big fan I just have to add. Fukumoto does this to reflect the emotions of his characters. Despite being about very slow games of cards, dice, plinko and mahjong they often have lives at stake.

So far it's not really any different from the manga, it's largely a gag series and the anime largely kept the aesthetics of the Kaiji anime, including the larger than life narrator (which yeah I can't help but have bias towards the old one, but this one has had plenty of his own shining moments). Personally it's been too long since I've heard the original Tonegawa's voice, so I don't really mind/notice the change in his voice, I think this current one fits great :)
Zawa zawazawazawa.
Complicated and tuned down. Got it.
It's going to be an anime, this better not be a fucking joke!
Well...I should let you know Tonegawa is kind of a gag manga, so it probably will be quite the fucking joke XD
people sleep on fukumoto because of the art but hes hands down the gambling manga artist

ZAWARDO!!!
Tonegawa runs gallantly
He is just living in the present
It is the gift of effort, not genius
Unreasonable demands come today as well
It's expectedly difficult
But still, I do it,
Because it's my role
Being scared of human relationships
Is nothing new
But to be honest, being scared of it
You have to embody the trick to living through it
A life rich with ups and downs
I had to keep my sleeves rolled up
Or people would pass me by
You don't notice when you're running
Don't bring everything from yesterday
Just live today
Tonegawa runs gallantly
He is just living in the present
It is the gift of effort, not genius
I was fulfilled by not being fulfilled
Doing whatever I wanted
Please just do it
Do it today
