    Ruri Dragon really deserved better, hopefully it comes back soon.
    Idk what the next video will be, probably something a little different though
    ---
    Potential is the one thing that should terrify you.
    If you suck, then whatever. Lots of people suck. But only one person can live up to your potential.
    It's one of the few things that is both carrot and stick. You're compelled to chase it, because we all wonder what the top end of that potential is. Yet you're also held hostage to it, never really knowing whether you've achieved it. The sick joke of this carrot and stick game being that those who chase the hardest will often, in the long run, undermine that potential.
    This is the story of Ruri Dragon, her reclusive artist, and the industry that nearly killed them.

      100% agree, some great artists are not meant to produce a weekly chapter. You have to have certain genes to sustain 15 hour workdays every day. The author would do very well doing a 21 pages chapter every month but there is no magazine that does that.

      Yeah of course, I think it fit the outro really well! I dig that shoegaze-y/indie-grunge sort of sound. And lets hope so, I enjoy making these vids so it'd be cool to have a larger audience

    I found your channel randomly today while getting ready for work by way of your chainsaw man cgi video and decided to watch it , and I gotta say I really like your content! Idk if you know about a channel called "Nerrel" but your delivery reminds me alot of his for some reason (thats a compliment) anyway I was kind of blown away that your videos dont have wayyyyy more views, keep at it bro , these are some quality videos

    I dig Xenoblade Chronicles. A lot. It's not quite open world, but it feels like it, and the way quests are designed is simple because some lengthier quest lines lead you to secret areas that you can't otherwise access, so the world is constantly opening up. The world itself being as condensed as it is really helps the traversal aspect, and you do have fast travel in the event that the walking gets too tedious. It's a singleplayer JRPG designed like an MMO, and I think that's cool.

    Awesome video man, i was just wondering why ruri hasn't continued then i saw your video. Mangakas' go through a lot, which is why i make it a point to never blame the artist no matter how suspenseful a cliffhanger is ,but i do check on the status of the artist when I've waited for mths without any update. Keep up the vidoes

    I liked the editing and the message but I have some problems with the video:
    4:35 Every new manga in Weekly Shonen Jump gets the cover for their first chapter so ruri dragon is nothing special in that regard.
    6:48 It has not been announced to be moving to jump plus , it is still in weekly shonen jumps table of contents but it is on hiatus.
    4:46 Volume 1 was released a few months after the mangaka went on hiatus .
    It is very unlikely that he took such a long hiatus because of working too much , he only released 2 chapters in a weekly format , it is more likely that he had a pre existing health condition.
    2:12 Also that is not how you say shueisha

    • @Frdyan
      @Frdyan  Před rokem +3

      4:35 Emphasis
      6:48 I swore I read it was moved, but looking now its not listed. Whoops
      4:46 I'm not sure what you mean, I'm talking about volume 1 sales...
      2:12 I'm not Japanese, see my Chainsawman video like 1:20
      Whether its pre-existing or not isn't the point. Grinding work can exacerbate pre-existing conditions, or introduce new ones. I'm pretty sure I even say we can't know whether this hiatus is directly because of the work on Ruri.
      more vids coming soon

    what i love bout ruri most is the art, its all mostly linework with little backgrounds. its neat so see a detailed and not detailed manga that looks neat in jump. i even bought volume 1 for reference material for my own manga stuff :3

    i recomend watching Bakuman i think its a beutifull story about 2 teenagers who wana become magakas and turn their work into a anime, its a 10/10 for me, and it also shows how hard it can be the mangaka life

    aw man. why did you had to talk about pun pun? that shit broke me and i didn't even finished. the end of a chapter (i think it was around chapter 70 or 80 where the chapter ends in "everything was just ok for another day" or something like that) hit way to close to home for me and id didn't touch it since then. i will soon continue it but god damn. why did you had to remind me of it :pepehands:

    I actually came here trying to see if anyone was here talking about a weird, underrated manga I really liked called "Ryushika Ryushika" and saw a part of what came up was Ruri Dragon apparently. :p
    Sigh... I forgot all about that thing... I randomly saw it brought up by Hazel in a summary of what she was up to one year or something. :p Sigh... I didn't know it still had barely anything to it. :p It's kind of a cute, wacky little series. :? Not sure if there's been any cute dragon monster girl series quite like this surprisingly, and not exactly, like, well... whatever Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid is for their dragons, LOL. :p
    Anyways, sigh... I have a lot of mixed feelings for the oddity and bleakness of Ounpun and Inio Asano's overall works, but man was that fanimation of it or whatever it was really freaking good, I just mainly came on here to comment on that other than my first two points, whoever that was did a good job. :p
