Guillermo Del Toro is a fan of Tanaguchi. That's how I discovered him.
What happened to that Jim Lee video?.
When I just check any new video you upload a new one I love you bald headed beautiful man
I watched the movie so I recognised it :3
I’m starting to think you’re gonna make a video of kasuhiro Oromo.
Why are ppl so critical about pronouncing names right. Even tho ppl try there best
PLZ MAKE A GARO episode
Had a suspicion who this video would be about. I've known a couple people who refuse to touch manga on principle but still willingly read Taniguchi.
6:09 The colour composition by Giraud is spectacular.
Thanks, he's one of my favorite artists. I've read all of his comics released in Italy!
This was fantastic. Looking forward to your video on Jean Giraud.
You should do a video on Dave Sim and Cerebus
Not only French. We know it in Poland too. Jiro Taniguchi is well known here.
i'm somewhat of a walking man myself. and dog owner. thank you for showing these! I hadn't heard of them.
Great video
I was randomly introduced to his work when they released the summit of the gods animated movie on netflix
Thoughly enjoyed it. The slow pace and the almost meditative approach to scenes pulled me right in
I’m really happy to see your channel updated after a while, and I truly appreciate the deep dive into the works that influenced Taniguchi, from France’s Jean Giraud to Oz.
I’d like to introduce you to a brilliant and somewhat underground Japanese artist named panpanya, who remains relatively unknown even within Japan. Fortunately, some of her works have been translated into English, so I highly recommend checking them out. I promise you won’t regret it. Her stories offer a strange, unforgettable experience where the boundary between fiction and reality becomes beautifully blurred.
He is very popular here in Portugal even with teens (and an absolute favorite with adults).
Hi Matt, love your channel. I dare you to dip your feet into the history of shoujo manga. Manga geared towards women is sadly not very present on your channel. Btw, any idea why your video on the blind school teacher who invented comics is age restricted? I tried to rewatch it recently and can't anymore, and I'm not about to provide Google with a pic of my ID 😅.
it's always a good day when there's a new episode of matttt 🙌🙌🙌🙌
Finally a new video!
its pretty popular in germany too xD
Absolutely the best manga I ever read. There is Croatian edition, so we in Ex Yugoslavia are familiar with Summit of Gods.
Amazing videos, man. I enjoy your channel so much. Keep it up!
People interested in English versions of some of Taniguchi's incidental, older, & untranslated work should search around online for Taniguchi Scanlations.
