Congrats man, you deserve it. Also I fully agree with what you pointed out here that you're just a person - We all are. Even people who already work in the industry make mistakes or have false assumptions, no need to take anyone like the bible. That also applies to Kvin and such. It's important to look at the context and the reason why people say stuff they do, what is subjective, what is objective, etc. Using staff names in the same way like studio names for instance doesn't really improve the discourse in any way, and it's good to promote that people should think more about why stuff is that, or that, etc. Form your own opinion, use "experts" as a way to get information but be careful how you use the information and differentiate. In the end, everyone is biased but that's okay. I will admit every day that I am biased as fuck about ufotable and will defend almost anything they do to the death, but that's because I just fuckin love what they do. Having arguments about it helped me solidify why I love them, but also see some of their flaws, but that's okay. I'm not even deep into analyzing animation styles of different animators or such, but even that aside I learn new stuff every day. There is no limit to how much you can learn, really. Anyway, you're just a cool guy man. Wish you the best. I know you are swamped with video ideas already but I think more explanation vids regarding the pipeline and some aspects such as douga (bad/good douga) and such would be good to know for some people. You can also bring up older anime that way (e.g. Cardraptor Sakura) who have really good douga.

I recorded this 4 days ago and we've already hit 6k. That's crazy.

You're one of the few creators on this site that manages to address the negativity you face without coming as thin-skinned. That's a massive dub in my book. Here's to more "expert" analysis from you 😉, and more views and subs along with it!

Manko is the goat. Keep explaining how good those lines are and who drew those lines 🤠

"this Channel is everything that is me" which is exactly why this is such a good Channel. Thank you for this lovely video. Take care and love from Spain.

Great to see such a bright mind who understands anime productions, I feel happy as a fellow subcontinent person ❤ Your and Pretentious' videos inspired me to start making analysis videos recently!

All the new attention and love is well deserved! I learned so much watching your videos. Your channel was a great find for me. Your love for jjk is just a bonus.

as an animator for half a decade i always love to watch your videos, its as if im analyzing animation clips with a friend in a discord call, your humor is amazing and your knowledge on animation is very impressive for someone who's not in the industry

I want to express my affection and gratitude for your videos. I'm Brazilian, I don't speak English, but I can watch it with yt subtitles. I believe you have people from all over the world... because you are the best! your way is very captivating and the way you make your videos, you can see your passion for animation. congratulations for the work, a big hug

i think its funny how while having absolutely ZERO role in the channel's progress aside from being a spectator, it somehow still gives me a sense of pride to see the growth of the channel, i really look forward to uploads as someone who knows nothing about animation and am provided a strange sense of happiness seeing how many people now watch the videos and sub

I feel like a proud dad for some reason 🤣. I hope you hit 10 before JJK s2 ends.

While I typically consume anime for the unique stories general enjoyment, finding your channel has given me such an appreciation for the animation and technical side of a production. I always look forward to your videos appearing in my sub box and they present me with new insight on the shows I love. It's so great to see your channel starting to gain more reception. Keep it up man!

Keep on going on man! I'm pretty much very new to the your channel but I love what you do. I love Kvin, Geth, Kam and the rest but sometimes I don't think the info they give can reach as big of an audience as YT can to educate and correct any of the misinfo going around about the industry.

so nice and rare to see a real, down to earth person in the anime community lol

Do you ever plan on being a part of the industry or being an animator yourself?

Can't imagine how you can manage to maintain this video quality with loads of information and insightful analysis while you're working in real life. Part of me is dying for your next video, but I remain patient because I know you're cooking and you're gonna upload when it's ready to upload. Your videos are always worth the wait. Thank you for your dedication and congrats on hitting 6K subs! Let's go for 7K and beyond! Stay healthy and happy, Manko!

Found your channel recently from watching your Jjk animation analysis. Like you said, there are tons of channels out there doing the same thing as you but what made me stay and subscribe to your channel is your passion in animation and humor. Keep doing what you have been doing and hope you find success in it.

I think it is safe to say that your videos acted as a catalyst for my increasing curiousity in learning about the animation industry and all the different types of teams that are present that work on stuff, e.g the Hakuyu Go team. I remember your vids being recommended to me after I watched a shit ton of sakuga amvs, and now I am here to stay. Keep up the great work man, would love to see more stuff from you in the future!

Ever since I found ur channel. Ive have a much better appreciation for the work that animators put in to give us such beautiful animation sequence. As well as being able to see the nuances within them. Really love ur content and congrats on 5k subs

Hey man, i started watching your videos when you made the video about cgi in anime, then i watch every video since then and also started watching your old video. your one of the only content creators that talk about anime staffs, since i also started getting to know prominent animators in the industry since watching your videos. usually not one to comment on videos but i seriously thank you for the videos that you make and the growth you have rn is so deserved. keep up the work man!

Hey man, congrats! Been a fan since you started your vids breaking down CSM, and I gotta say it's been awesome to see the channel grow so much since then. You always stuck out to me from the rest of the animation youtubers I watched because of how in depth you go about individual episodes, scenes, and animators. I guess I just found your enthusiasm really infectious haha! Keep being awesome dude Also, gotta say I really respect your attitude to criticism and the authority people perceive you to have - I think it's really important to make it clear (like you did here) that you're just some guy on the internet like the rest of us, and to encourage respectful, nuanced discourse. Sets good expectations for the community that grows around you Also also, always loved the name "MankoMan" lol. Don't think most people have any idea what it translates to, which makes the twitter example you posted extra hilarious

Proud of you bro been watching u quite bit recently and I love how you go deep into individual animators instead of the typical anime studio talk. Happy 6K!!

You're at 6k subs now! Absolutely deserved growth & the content as always is great.

I subbed a couple weeks ago and I rarely sub to any channel. let me tell you why I subbed: 1) You are extremely well spoken 2) you do in-depth research and go into almost every nuance 3) your jokes are actually hilarious 4) you’re humble and never come across as a know-it-all even though you probably do know it all… 5) you show tremendous passion and talent for what you do All you hard work is paying off and it’s so well deserved, I look forward to your future videos!

I am a new subscriber and really enjoying your content! You are opening up my eyes to things I have never even thought about and giving me a new appreciation to anime. I wanna add one thing though, it doesn't matter what you say, the bigger the audience, the more hate will be coming your way. It seems unavoidable. More of your content will be taken out of context and for some reason, even if you point out you are in no way an expert, some people will see you as an expert. It's like a responsiblity you have gotten even though you never signed up for it. Your content is sent out into the world. People will create opinions about that content and the creator of the content having little or no information about you. Keep the great work up!

Congrats bro! You're personally my favorite anime animation KZfaqr. Like, I haven't seen any other KZfaqr go into as much depth into the animation breakdown and explain the behind the scenes in a way that's this engaging and easy to get. I'm honestly surprised that your channel is as niche as it is.

Congrats man, I'm so glad people are finding your channel which is truly a hidden gem imo. Keep up the good shit man!

Just wanted to say that we appreciate everything you do with your breakdowns and analysis videos because those definitely take a lot of time and effort especially since you’re not doing this full time. I remember the first video of yours I ever saw and it was the breakdown of that “one take” fight scene in The third my hero academia movie and from then I knew that this channel was something special from they way you gathered all the information to the passion in your voice talking the scene. You also criticise and don’t look over what’s happening in the anime industry which a lot of people don’t really do which is great too. Congrats on 6K subscribers MankoMan, it’s great seeing the community grow everyday. Always look forward to seeing your new videos

I'm a very proud member of the MankMan army, and hope you become a huge channel, dude! I've learned a lot about animation from you.

I respect your passion for analyzing animation a lot! I’ve been into sakuga for the past few years but I learned a lot watching your channel recently. I obviously knew that studios aren’t just entities that pump out anime like nothing, but I didn’t know how each production pipeline worked for different studios and why certain anime just aren’t possible at the moment due to the staff that aren’t available. I used to watch AnimeAjay a lot to learn more on this kinda stuff but he doesn’t make videos anymore, so I’m glad that more sakuga reviewers have started to express the thing they love on this platform each in their own way. Keep doing what you do man!

glad to see you growing and having fun. I found you on r/anime and I have been watching ever since then.

I love your channel man you've only done good to the anime community. Your content and explanations have bled through to the mainstream and i'm starting to see more people getting knowledgeable about the industry and i believe it's all thanks to you.

You've honestly become one of my favorite KZfaqrs in general, even outside of 'anitube'. As someone who really enjoys and hopes to someday be in the animation industry, you've provided a great space to learn more about and discuss animation. I already enjoy your in depth episode animation analyses (something I wish more people did more with more shows), but the community posts are also really nice for discussion about news and new episodes while waiting for videos. The MankoMan channel is just a great experience all around, and I hope that it continues to be as the community grows. Side note: I do hope that you eventually analyze an anime film (not a regular franchise film) one day so that people can have a better idea of how to use the term "" movie quality"" animation. I know the phrase isn't exactly efficient but bringing attention the difference between a TV franchise production schedule/process and an original 7 film schedule/process would be very useful for discussion. On another note, the only franchise films I can think of with the animation quality expected of a feature would be the ones by KyoAni; The Violet Evergarden movies and Liz and the Blue Bird. DBS Broly too, at least for it's action sakuga. Other side note: Ufotable's Gyo movie would be fun to dissect, not even for being impressive, but because it looks goofy asf and will remind people that the CG fish in Demon Slayer Season 3 ain't that bad lol

Best Sakuga content creator on KZfaq I think. Also I love seeing your comments on sakugabooru.

I will say the number one best thing about your content is how watchable it is. A great balance of nerdy detailed stuff yet still fun and easy to watch.

Bro! Thank you for your hard way your breakdowns help me and I am a filmmaker lol,,,,

I love your channel bro. Love your accent and detailed video. 10k subscribers are coming very soon

My brother in christ, keep this actitude please ❤

i found your videos from jjk s2 i love how much passion you have for animation and making videos

I subscribed because your video style feels so I don't know how to put it, but it gives me the positive vibes. I enjoy the animation analysis videos very much! Keep up the great work!

2:48 the fake accent comment lmao. I received one very recently as well 😢😂

The niche knowledge you share in your videos is quite refreshing, it seems somewhat hard to find similar content on youtube, keep at it

Keep going man cuz all of us really loves your content

Congrats man. I still remember the first video of yours that I had watched which was "CGI in anime". You had just uploaded that video and I have been a fan ever since. I did have some interest in animation before but watching your video was what made me trully appreciate the art of animation. You absolutely deserve this success and I hope your channel grows more & more. Once again, congrats and thank you.

You're going to reach even greater heights man!

Congrats on 6k❤️. (and 3:41 i saw a lot of it)

I was here sub 1k and it’s only gettin better

Watching these videos had helped me critically analyze the animation I watch in a way I wasn't able to before, and I really appreciate learning that from your channel.

Thank you for your great analysis and videos. I’m really glad that I found your channel. After your videos I can watch anime with more understanding. Really appreciate your effort. Hope this channel will grow even more! I will be there no matter what 😹

Your content gives me a greater appreciation of all the work that goes into animation, your stuff is awesome and congratz!

Your channel has been wonderful over the last year, and it has helped inform me of the things in anime recently that I have loved and why I love them. I would not be as much of a Gosso fan as I am without your analysis videos such as Ousama Ranking episode 21

Thanks for the reminder in the description MankoMan

Anime Expert Mankoman)))))))) Sounds good man

I’m so happy I found your channel! Your knowledge of the animation industry is incredible! And the way you break down why certain scenes (and artists and directors and producers ect.) are special makes it so easy to get excited about anime. I just adore your content and I’m grateful for all the work you do! Your channel is so thoughtful and rad as hell! Can’t wait to watch your subscriber count continue to grow-you deserve it!

I really appreciate your videos. seeing how much passion you have for your content makes it really enjoyable to watch :> I just love animation and I really enjoy listening to you talk about it and nerd out about it :DD

Love your videos please never stop making them

It's awesome that your channel has been growing a lot recently, Manko! Hope it becomes a lot bigger going from here. You're by far my favorite animation centric channel on KZfaq and I always look forward to new videos of yours. Your enthusiasm for animation is contagious and I find myself learning quite a bit from your videos (even tho you yourself are still learning yourself).

I just recently found your channel and i'm sure your channel will grow in the future. You seem like a very legit good person and i wish you the best

You absolutely deserve all the love! Your videos are incredibly informative and they've gotten me interested in animation related things! Keep up the amazing work!!

Even when you wrong, i still love your videos. All that passion and love, i can feel it through the video. Thank you for your videos!

Less go this guy’s gonna be big and imma be like “I was here since 3k”

No doubt you will hit 10k after JJK, everyone loves JJK and your analysis on it

Love your analyses and will continue asking you to come on my podcast!!

Partly because of your animation analyzis i began animating myself. thank you, my indian sakuga-nerd senior!

Just saw your latest video on Frieren and instantly had to subscribe for the quality and detail. Love it! You also seem to be a nice and based guy, what's not to like? Please keep up the amazing work!

Love learning about how my favorite shows are animated and love your content

I'm happy that you've reached a pretty big milestone (in my opinion) and are getting the recognition you deserve. I love watching your content and helps expand my knowledge on great animations/animators/animation techniques to someone like me who has nothing but appreciation for the animation industry.

I have been around on yt for a long time.. a lot of content creators that i follow have been inactive so i dont see many people talking about Sakuga now glad i found your video and channel. Keep up with your channel.

u deserve this man, keep up the good work🙌

I'm that Ufotable fan and I like your humbleness have learn so much from you keep up what your doing 🔥🔥🔥

Been here since like 200 sub. You still underrated af. Pls keep saving this community from I-made-it-tf-up Devil.

Good and necessary video

just wanted to say the quality you put in your videos is admirable. i seriously wouldn't be surprised if your channel grows exponentially from here, you deserve it. cheers man!

Proud of u manko man love you thanks for sharing your deep knowledge. Love to see you succeed 💜💜💜

I've been a proud member of the MankArmy for the past year, and I'm so happy to see this channel growing everyday (especially since the start of JJK season 2 :o), this growth and all the positive feedbacks you get are so deserved, thank you for sharing your passion with all of us ! I hope this video reaches everyone so you won't have to deal with those things too much

Hey man! As someone who doesn't always agree with your point but still likes to see your videos, (to be fair I very rarely fully agree with anyone to begin with xd) I believe you have the right mindset. It's never good to idolize anyone to the point where we convince ourselves they can not make mistakes but we can still appreciate the good points they have or make. As someone who aspires to work in the anime industry one way or another, seeing your vids is always a good way to get more opinions on a subject and learn more about the staff working on projects. I will prob disagree with you on some point or another in the future (tho Ialso agree with you on many points just to be clear) but regardless keep up the good work. Wether I agree or not I still value your intake.

Amazing channel, deserves many many more subs

keep going bro we all a community all love !

You should do a little Q&A about yourself, you seem like such a cool passionate dude, hope I get to meet u randomly one day lol
