lines in motion: 2025 introspective + future plans
Happy new year!! (Or, well, still a few hours away for me, but I know it'll be 2026 for some of your guys reading this). As mentioned in my last update post, I wanted to do a channel reflection video. I've also uploaded an audio version in case people prefer that. In the first half, I talk about what worked, wh...
"Youtubers recommend me Manga" video release!
Happy holidays everyone!! Here's a release I've been looking forward to release, because it's one of the first "collaborative"-ish videos on my channel, and it was nice to get my friends to suggest me manga. Few new favourites in here, so I'm hoping some of you are convinced to read as well!Not ...
December Updates! (MarriageToxin video early preview)
So, my last updates post let you guys know that I'd pushed the Ichi the Witch video back and would update you guys letting you know what would "replace" that video in the meantime. Well, here's a early preview of that video which will be titled: "How Marriagetoxin Breaks the Shonen Harem Mold" ....
Ichi the Witch video update
Hey all, so I’m deep into the Ichi the Witch script about Desscaras, and it’s honestly turning into one of my favourite essays I’ve written. (Maybe because I love her character so much, and I haven't done a character focused video since the begining of the channel).However… And I'll say this in the leas...
Youtube Thumbnail Tutorial Two!
Hey all, was requested about doing another thumbnail tutorial, specifically for this kind. Where there's a radial blur in the background and a central character at the front. Pretty easy and simple to do, so I hope the tutorial is easy to follow! My webcam did for some reason completely blur out halfway through, so...
December plans! (updates)
Hey everyone, back again, but this time with an update post! The Green Yuri video was a bit of a spontaneous video for me, kinda like my Keith Haring video. Had the idea pop into my head and before I knew it, I was locked in and finished the video pretty quickly. For December though, i'm looking at two video releas...
The Genius of Green Yuri’s Colour Identity
New video!! It's about time I cover this rising star of a manga, and with an anime announced, even more so! But this video isn't about the story, per se. I have no doubt the manga will start receiving video essays about its story and characters in the future, but no one has specifically talked about the power o...
Spacewalking With You: The Manga That Understands Neurodivergence
Heya everyone, new release today!I've had a lot of fun working on this video. The first chapter of Spacewalking with You is very strong, the last manga to leave an impression so quickly was Love Bullet, ironically around this time last year (that's gone so quickly!). Difference being, I barely see anyone talk a...
Thumbnail tutorial: 3 character layout
So, I was requested by one of you guys to do a video tutorial on how I design my 3 character layout thumbnails. I go into depth and show my step-by-step process!If anyone has any questions, feel free to ask here or discord!All attachments mentioned in the video are below.Hope this helps!Dani
Iyashikei and Chill Manga Recommendations
Hey all, it's release day!! Some genuinely lovely reads in this collation, especially Satoko and Nada, I think that is my favourite of the bunch, but I know there's two other big favourites in this pile that many also might like. Typically on lists like this, you'll have Yokohama or Mushishi, but I wanted t...
What's to come: October Duo Release!
Heya all! Want to give an update on where I'm at with videos. I tried as much as possible to get a video out this month, but with the ticking clock of Christmas approaching, means my retail hours have slightly been extended. So, I struggled timing-wise to get one out this month. But here's what's to come in...
Balloon Tutorial - Working with 3D in After Effects
Hey all! One of you guys asked for a tutorial on the balloon scene in my Blue Flag video. It's fairly easy to replicate, so I hope this tutorial is helpful for anyone who wants to get into camera work in After Effects.If anyone has any questions, feel free to message me!
VIDEO RELEASE! Anticipation in manga...
Here with a new video!! Really enjoyed doing this one, was nice to do a more technique-like type of video again!I don't have much to say for this one, so I'll save you all a ramble 😂 But do let me know what you think of the video, especially if you're a creative looking to go into comics/manga creation. ...
Merch drop!
I've now opened a shop with some merch! I've got 4 commissions i'm still waiting on, so they'll be uploaded on there between September - October, but here are some things I have right now available here:https://linesinmotion.shopGiven you guys are patrons and helping me out so much, i'm giving every...
Update: Sneak Peak for next video
Heya all! Just wanted to show you the first minute of the next video, which i'm titling:Anticipation in Manga – A Shared Language of Horror and ComedyOr something along those lines.We're looking at about a 15-ish minute video, and i'm just over halfway editing-wise. Ideally, I want to get this video out b...
VIDEO RELEASE - Gachiakuta is Punk as Hell (And it’s thanks to Black Art)
Hey all, so... surprise! I explain it in the outro of my video, but i'll just explain here, too. I'd started working on this video's script back when I was creating the motion design project for supereyepatch wolf (video still not out). I was waiting a while on feedback, so in the meantime I finished up the...
Poll results!
So going by the poll on here and discord, it looks like people really want the Anticipation and Lettering videos! So, I figured, given the lettering video would take a little more time to prepare - as I want to contact professional letters for their insight - I will work on the Anticipation video now, whilst working on...
Poll for the next video!
Hey all, I hope you enjoyed the last video! So now it's time for me to think and plan for future videos again, with the help of your choice! The Haikyu video *is* being worked on, but due to the length of the manga, it's development is being shared in the background whilst I work on videos. (i'm 20% of the ...
VIDEO RELEASE - My Issue with Blue Flag
Finally, it's here! Feel like i've been working on this bad boy for years now 😂 thank you for your patience!As the title insinuates, this is a critique/constructive video. One of the first on the channel (if you don't count the Berserk video, but that wasn't really a critique on Berserk itself). So, ...
Video update & sneak peak!
Hey all,I'm still very hard at work with the Blue Flag video that I'm hoping will be out in a couple of weeks. It's the first constructive video that'll be on the channel, so - can't lie, little nervous about it. But i feel like I've approach the video and manga in good faith that hopefully peop...
VIDEO RELEASE! QUEER MANGA REC 🏳️🌈
Hi all, here's the next video release, it's be a good month and a bit so I apologise for the wait, but I hope the length of the video and variety of manga I talk about, makes up for the time! Tried something a little different with this recommendation video. I've had plenty of comments over the years compli...
VIDEO RELEASE (After God - The Next Big Shonen Manga?)
Hey all! Next video is now up for you guys to watch without any ads before it goes live tomorrow! After God is a brilliant and underrated manga that almost feels like the child of Chainsaw Man and Tokyo Ghoul. If you're a fan of either (or both) of those manga, i'd give this an automatic recommendation straight...
Poll time!
Hey all! So, with my PC back and running I've been straight on the After God project since posting the Arcane video. That'll be coming out in February, which I'm looking forward to.But I wanted your guys' thoughts, or vote, on what the video after it should be.Originally, I was going to do the Medalist ...
VIDEO RELEASE - Sevika’s Unfaltering Loyalty - An Arcane Character Analysis
Hi all, long time no see! I apologise for the quietness, but I hope this longer video length makes for a nice trade-off. This video does contain spoilers for ALL of Arcane, please keep that in mind!Want to preface and say, whilst this video may come off as critical towards Arcane's political narrative, I did genui...
Next video poll results
Hey all! So the results from the poll came through and it actually came at a tie between the After God video and the Horror/Comedy Anticipation video!I'd thought to do another poll, but thinking on it, would probably be a little redundant to bother you all with yet another notification and wait on results, so! This...
NEXT VIDEO POLL
Hey guys! I'm planning to take this week off to recuperate from the 3 sponsored videos I've had to get out within deadlines, but during this time, would love to get your thoughts on what you want the next video to be about. So, I figured I'd talk just a tiny bit about the options, and let you guys decide!(P...
Perfect Blue: Misogyny and Parasocial Relationships
Hey all, here is my newest video! So this won't be coming out till a little while later on Youtube because it's got a sponsor at the begining (which I'm still waiting on approval and such from the client, and they don't want it released till two weeks time, unless I can get that shortened). So, for now,...
Next video sneak peak (Perfect Blue)
Hey all! So I'm well into the makings of the next video, and thought I'd share a very small snippet of what's to come. The video, at the moment, is called How Perfect Blue predicted the digital age of Misogyny and Parasociality,which is a verrrylong and working title LMAO. Got to put my thinking hat on for ...
LOVE BULLET VIDEO! 💕
Hey all! I'm back with another video - this time talking about the manga Love Bullet! After the huge fan campaign that went on to support the manga, which was on the verge of cancellation, I just hadto do a video to not only reflect on the event itself, but hopefully promote LB, too. It's a brilliant first volu...
