After 6 incredibly frustrating hours of rendering later, my new video on Fool Night it finally here!! Funnily enough, I had wanted to originally do this video as a way of recommending it to as many as possible, in the hopes to get enough conversations going, so that it would get picked up for localisation.

Well, it got picked up anyways.... Four days into the video production 😂 So whilst the original intent of the video is pretty useless, I still feel like it's a story barely many people know about - so, here we are. And it's a really good seinen.

I tried to go all out with the editing on this one, learnt a lot along the way, and also learnt some things not to do, ha. It was incredibly frustrating with the rendering though, taking 2 hours to render 15 seconds clips sometimes. So I might not go so hard into the colouring of future manga videos until I've gotten a much better PC setup that'll blast through that rendering.

Let me know what you guys think! If the video convinced you to pick up the manga or not! As usual, the subtitles will be up tomorrow along with the public release.

Thanks for being so patient with me on this one, I hope it's worth it!

Fool Night - An Ecohorror Manga Worth Reading

Just watched the video and I am totally gonna have to read it next. It sounds like a very intriguing existential plight with solid characters and a cool setting. Change and dying are certainly topics that humans will never run out of ways to dissect and discuss. It is funny how Annihilation also tackles the ideas of change and dying but from a completely different point of view despite also featuring similar plant-human body horror type visuals. One thing I couldn't shake is that the plot feels ridiculous, engineering humans to be plants feels akin to the farfetchedness of The Matrix's human-batteries plot haha. I would not be surprised if that is subverted at some point with some insight into the process being some kind of conspiratorial agenda; reducing the population would certainly help in such a resource constrained scenario for example and/or pushing undesirables into these "free will choices" to get rid of them was already discussed and that would also totally work if pushed further. Hard to say if that'd fit into the storytelling the series is going for before having read it but I thought it was interesting nonetheless :) Recently got all caught up on Magilumiere (it's been awesome) and just barely started Gokurakugai but that one has pretty few chapters so far so it won't be long before I get to this one. Thanks for shining a light on interesting things! p.s. rendering and computer horsepower woes always suck, sorry to hear that! Would hate to have it limit what you can do in videos, I know that visual flair totally attracts new eyes, but the content will still be just as solid no matter what :D

I think you could say that Annihilation definitely leans more into Comic Horror, which is why it's dealt with slightly differently! (I'd love to discuss cosmic horror in a video, but i feel it's too narrow of a subject haha). Whilst in Fool Night, it's more so a dystopian tale. Haha, I do get what you mean! And you're totally right on the money, in regards to agendas!! I think when you read it, with more scenes of context etc, it does seem more viable. The politics in this series is super interesting. Like how those in lower class are struggling with "oxygen tax" etc - something that governments would actually do nowadays. It's a really interesting read! Super glad to hear you're liking Magilumiere! And it's more so frustrating knowing it's a technical issue of me not having a powerful enough system. I'll get an upgrade eventually, but those darn PC parts are sure costly. But thank you nonetheless 😊😊
