YES! THIS FINALLY HAPPENED Of course the next art will be Patchouli or Lily somehow!

This has been my favorite video essay for years and it has THOROUGHLY convinced me that Yotsuba is my favorite manga I've never read. I like it precisely because it has nothing profound to say nor does it try to, it's just a dude talking about something he loves and that energy is infectious. It's simpleton content but I find that highly refreshing when every other video essay is competing for the biggest brained takes.

Viktor Sharii - Lullaby of Deserted Hell I actually found this one a while back. There were plenty of other options, but this stuck with me as being especially appropriate for the source material. The motifs work in a wide variety of situations, but nothing beats the serenity of a good solo for it imo. Avenue Room - Dazzling Hellfire To balance out the energy, this is a far jumpier arrangement. I've said before how much I appreciate folk rock hybrids, and this is an excellent example made all the more intriguing by the varying motifs it has to work with. T-Jerion - Hellfire Mantle I wavered on this one for a while; I wanted something semi-climactic, but not too climactic, lest I short-change the follow-up (a silly consideration, but still . . .). I couldn't say what finally decided it, but I'm fairly settled now.

UNVALANCE - Hate Island I know that Dark Blowhole technically represents the descent into the underground, but I've always associated Bridge No Longer Crossed more closely with the concept. As such, a remix like this fits better with my perception of the piece; the atmosphere is on-point, but isn't left to carry the piece alone. HEKATONCHEIR BEATS - Waxy Jealousy Green-Eyed Jealousy, along with a lot of pieces from this soundtrack, lends itself to low-energy arrangements with its progression and motif structure, and I've heard a number of really great remixes in this vein. However, for this feature I wanted something a bit more intense, in keeping with its actual intention as a boss theme, while still retaining the piece's strengths. While it took longer than I anticipated, I'm exceptionally pleased with this find. Mentaiko Lab - Moon-Swallowing White Night Some form of folk was my resolution for this, only further established by the volume of rock arrangements I initially came across. What distinguished this one was its genre; while I'm sure I've encountered folk-centered jazz before, it isn't usually so strongly committed to. The effect here is perfect for these motifs.

is this real? yeah probably idk anyway yay yuyuko in this american comic style idk how you call it but ayayaya bro the bg sucks ass- previous: flandre scarlet (eosd) up next: mokou (in) i think you can see a pattern here

Reimu Hakurei cleared! Let's gooo! This taked few days to draw and i fell so satisfied to "setup" the art-style. Also It for some inspirations in the Touhouvania version with some Reimu's Manga versions to do It. I know about the photo quality not be the best, but man, this was so wholesome to make It. But... This is only the beggining folks. Of course after this one, it will have even more characters to do it.
