  • ...Books...Am I right?
    Yeah I know I'm impulsive...but also 🤷‍♀️
    Chapters:
    00:00 The Intro
    02:34 A Bit About Me
    06:10 The Strange Man
    13:45 The Man In The Nice Suit
    22:24 The Girl
    30:33 The Boy
    38:11 The Horizon
    44:44 Conclusive Thoughts
    47:27 Thanking My Lovely Patrons
    So anyway, Ji-hun Jeon is a Manwha writer with an incredible ability to convey really personal and passionate ideas through pure imagery, and The Horizon encapsulates that beautifully. This manwha tackles some really profound and honest ideas relating to moving from beyond your past, too the acceptance of oneself despite their flaws. It's a manhwa that resonated with me so strongly that I felt the need to animate over 700 manwha panels and make a long video about why by the end of it, I was a sobbing mess of human mass...oh and I also quit my job...once again...books am I right?

    I can't believe this video has as little views as it does. I clicked because you're covering one of my favorite manhwas, but I never expected to find such a fantastic commentary and analysis of this manhwa, along with hearing a very human takeaway of how this manhwa inspired you, and tied it into your life.
    This review is very special because of how much love and effort that went into not only the script and structure, but the phenomenal editing. It's obvious how much care you put into this, thank you for such a fantastic video!

    Sometimes I find it difficult to move forward. Living in a world that not only is indifferent to your existence but actively tries to suffocate people for simply being is so incredibly demoralizing and it’s so hard to keep wanting things to be better knowing that the work will never be done. It will never be done in my life time at the very least.
    The audacity to dream and want is one of the few things we can do. I pray for the safety of my friends and loved ones and hope to make more connections to people who can be there for me.
    Connections are hard to trust when you’ve been hurt badly before but it’s only natural to crave community and acceptance.
    I forgot where I was going with this I blame this on the fact I cried for like ten minutes after this video and had to use every braincell to think of something to say despite the fact that technically I don’t have to say anything but if this is the emotional reaction I had to this I feel almost obligated to say something so if anything respectfully I am in tears

      It really is hard. Sometimes despite loving something and doing something as wonderful as having dreams, can ultimately be what hurts the most. Its not easy moving forward because on one hand, being complacent in life is comfortable and you get caught up in its repetitiveness, and the other being pursuit without knowing where it leads its legitimately horrifying.
      Thank you for letting my work affect you and thank you for hearing out my honest thoughts and feelings. I'm glad to hear that you resonated with my video so strongly :) Appreciate the kind words and I hope you're able to walk your road! Regardless of how small the steps are, they are still steps. Wishing you the best out of whats left of 2024 🙏

    Combining story telling, explaination and your own personal thoughts and feelings in your life to how it attributes to this story was done perfectly. There wasn't a moment it didn't flow (the gags don't count towards this) and had me basically glued to the screen for the whole time.
    It has been some time since I read this manhwa, and having seen this video and having also recently purchased the books I truly believe my experience with it again will not be the same as it was originally.
    It is always an honour to see big projects like this develop into something incredible; so I wish to both thank and congratulate you for the time, effort and heart that has been put in this. Big props to Sol and the VA's for their contributions in this video.
    Aigh enough yappin', I'll wrap up for now wishing you the best, and for a stunning ocean sunrise beyond any forest.

    I've been struggling to find the right words to leave here, but I'll try anyway. I think bleak, yet emotional, vulnerable works like this have a lot of value, and you bringing attention to them, and allowing yourself to be vulnerable in the process, has value too. I also feel like I'm on my own road, not sure where I'm going, insecure that I'm running out of time to figure it out, but seeing things like this makes me feel like I'm not alone, which gives me even the smallest bit of hope to keep going. Beautiful video as always. I hope for so much success for you in the future, I really think you deserve it.

    • @TheMickellPickell
      @TheMickellPickell  Před měsícem +1

      You are far too kind as always Sklent :) I appreciate your consistent support of what I do on here.
      I couldn't agree more regarding the importance of media like this. Sometimes we need a good reminder of how bleak and empty the world will feel at times, whilst also simultaneously a reminder of how beautiful and vast it truly is.
      I am happy to hear that you feel as if you are walking that road. No matter how small the steps, they are still steps. No matter how long the walk will take, you are still making progress.
      Thank you for giving me a platform to speak my honest thoughts on and thank you for taking the time to listen

    i will always remember that fatefull night when i read it all, in complete silence, at first i was hoping for the misery to end, but when it was about time to end, i didn't want to let go of this character.
    I once again cried at the bus and the sun, but it was damn worth it.
    going from pages and pages of black&white only to have the most colorfull sun is such a whiplash of hope.

      It really is incredible isn't it? The fact that you go from many pages (especially the underwater sequence) of pure black and white, and then you turn to that coloured spread and it quite literally feels like a sunrise in motion...god its absolutely fucking brilliant.
      From the depths of the black ocean to the sudden burst of yellow and orange that comes from the sun, it feels all intentional and my god, is it truly powerful.

    Wow that really felt like a journey to the end of the horizon, just fantastic work in bringing the characters and story to life and presenting the themes in a way that's really well told. I think its awesome how you put to words and share your own experiences with the story and how it influenced your way of looking at the road ahead.
    Its strange how a piece of media can appear at just the right moment in life and leave you with something that you needed at the time, like the kind of stories that stay with you even after you close the last page or finish the last episode. That's what makes these kind of stories such gems.

      You're absolutely right in reference to the timing of things. Sometimes a show can mean so much to someone based solely on when they found it, and I'd absolutely say that the timing in which this manwha found me, made my experience with it so much more meaningful.

I can definitely see some overlaps in themes with The Horizon and MIA from what you've shared, and The Horizon sounds like a great story. It's really cool how much its moved you. I found myself trying not to cry while watching this. I once had a dream and I ended up experiencing the death of it. I've been "floating" through life since. Over the years though, my interest in art has grown. I hope one day I can make something beautiful too. I've been reminded to take a step forward. Thank you. Keep on Shining, Mickell! ✨

Love the production and quality put into this and how you were able to describe the personal parallels you found in the work through the characters. The manganimations were going crazy as usual, but I also really liked the narrative interjections of like the inner voices and the representation of that darkness trying to claw away at us, really awesome and cinematic stuff!

    I do find it interesting how Mickell interpretted Wayward Souls as the reason he would quit his stable job and put his hopes in dreams in the hands of online strangers, and the youtube "algorithm".
    I think this story would encourage exactly the opposite position.
    Regardless I did enjoy the video and I was emotionally moved by the ending and the tenacity of humanity to go on living despite the odds.

    • @TheMickellPickell

      That’s what’s so cool about art! There is never truly a wrong way to respond nor feel about it. Everyone’s experience and takeaway will always be different (even if only slightly). I can absolutely see how The Horizon would encourage people to stick to what they are familiar with, as opposed to myself where I was inspired to do the opposite.

      @@TheMickellPickell Wow, thank you for replying to my post, I'm truly honored!
      I just wanted to ask though:
      Was it the hope of finally reaching the sunshine at the end of the tunnel itself that motivated you, or was it the journey the boy struggled through which led him to appreciating the sunshine even more?
      From what I was told, the youtubers hoping for their sunshine to come are the ones that end up quitting,
      but the ones that (for reasons I don't understand) want to experience that form of struggle themselves and learn what they are truly capable of are the ones that succeed.
      Because to me, the sun didn't change, it was the perspective of the person witnessing the sun that changed.

    • @TheMickellPickell
      @TheMickellPickell  Před 21 dnem

      I think the sunshine never changed, in fact I would argue that its the same as it always was. But as you say, its the way the person view's that sunshine that defines its beauty. Throughout the entirety of the horizon, you see the sun rise and set, but its always coated in black and white. It looks regular and stoic, like a secondary thought to the illustrator. Despite the boy struggling his entire life, he still decides to press on, he still firmly believes he is worthy of a better life, and then that same sun suddenly looks absolutely stunning.
      I think what I'm trying to say is. Editing and making videos has always been that sunshine for me. But by never taking the time to stick with it, having it only be this little hobby of mine that I get to experience at the end of a hard-work day, made that sunshine feel small and gray. Only after realising that this hobby means so much to me and I want to pursue it, only then did the sun really start looking beautiful.
      Hopefully this makes sense :) Sorry for the late response

    Shocked I never heard of this manwha. I ended up watching the entire video because I was curious but I want to read the actual thing and have my own experience. I don't mind being spoiled or knowing the ending- it's about the journey through the story after all.
    That ending segment really hit hard for me. I"m pushing 30 and always "played safe" as recommended by everyone around me. No confidence in myself to veer off the path. My life may be secure but it's not fulfilling. I don't have grand dreams of getting famous or making it as some sort of influencer. I just want to have another career path than the one I am on right now. So everything you said almost pushed me to sobbing at work 😥 Hit home.
    Fantastic video and great animations!

    I am trying to do something similar to what you are so knowing someone out there is going through similar stuff gave me a weird sense of relief.
    Your video was amazing as always, using undertale's ost was a genius choice and the ending of the video was just downright beautiful.
    It left me with a bittersweet feeling of finding beauty in this very very cruel world.
    Animating those panels with such skill must have taken a ridiculous amount of effort.

    I congradulate the honesty. I don't think I'd be able to talk like that.
    This video really just elevated this manwha from "Horizon Manwha Spoilers guy" to "Holy fuck, I know it'd be one of my favorite books I've ever read if I read it". Great work!
    I also can't sit silently and not say how much this reminded of Gurren Lagann. Please watch it if you haven't yet, it is genuenly life changing in a better way, just like this manwha.

    Man, I'm taking a break from the first volume part, not because it's too disturbing (in terms of nothing graphic) but that I hate that it turned out PRECISELY WHAT I WAS AFRAID of, like, it wasn't surprising twist, I would be surprised if it's something else. I don't like how the girl was the one "starting" this problem by being the one not leaving this CLEARLY MENTALLY ILL guy. That's not kind, that was stupid, which also caused the boy to get bruised.
    I mean, I don't want to begin discussion about irl mentally r**arded people, like whether we should help them or not, because in circumstances when it is possible and there's facility for it, sure, it's humane thing to do. But these are kids low on supply, in times of war. I'm sorry, I cannot feel sympathy for this girl because, like, I know she's a kid, but SHE SHOULD ALREADY UNDERSTAND THE PROBLEM IT BRINGS TO THE BOY TOO.
    I just... Don't like the stories where the problems are due to female playing 'I'm a nice guy' which lead to the male character having to deal with the mess. And then, like, after he saved his life, she cried. When she should've been the one thanking and apologizing the boy for getting him punched, in situation where there's no medical help.
    I did not trust this strange guy one bit even when he was being nice. Especially after it's shown he peed without any awareness. This man is clearly mentally r**arded (not in insulting way, but in clinical, chronic way) so yeah he got iq of a toddler but he still has biological drive and energy of an adult. And in this situation (not in normal functioning society situation), yeah it is mega stupid to not leave him. I don't care they're kids, heck if anything, they should be more selfish BECAUSE they're kids.
    When you said, "a look on her eyes make him understand that she's just like him", I thought she'd be as resourceful as him. But nah, she got to be another "a pure, stupid/weak female" to be protected by the more able man. I'm just... tired of the trope. I want them to have similar level of resoursefulness so that the danger is really an inevutable danger, not some shit they could've avoided if they're less dumb.
    Again, I understand they're children, and I would accept it if the dumb thing being done is childish. But no actual child would did what the girl did. Like, the farthest I can imagine is that in safe environment, some might be curious enough to approach the guy, no way in hell after the shits that guy pulled any child didn't hate him. Normal child would throw a tantrum, and here where they have to be mature enough not to throw one, they would still hate him.

    i love how this manhwa answers oyasumi pun pun in the way that gurren lagann answers evangelion.
    evangelion is a just, sad story about shinji and how really shit his life ended up.
    but gurren lagann starts from the same hopeless point, they both lose people, they both lose what they consider everything. shinji didnt move on, simon did.
    pun pun stayed hopeless, even forgot aiko, stayed horrible, stayed affected by the world, and muddied what was around him with his own hopelessness, had no redemption, no reflection.
    pun pun never moved forward.
    the boy, did.

      Any normal person would agree with you. Dropping a fulltime gig for something far less stable is unrealistic and some people would kill to have a fulltime position. Yet, it’s my life and it feels right to start making decisions that let me have control over it 🙏

      To clarify, its an editing choice. What actually happens is the white-haired-girl borrows the gun of the dead boy and shoots herself in the head. I couldn't however showcase the panel that shows this because of CZcams's rules. The main character simply watches.
