JoJo's Bizarre Adventure and the Rise of the AMV

You thought it was another meme video, but it was ME, Michael!

Thank you to everyone for your continuing support and encouragement. I meant what I said about going all-in for 2021; there's more on the way very soon.

AMV= NARUTO and DBZ

no one cared about jojo

THIS VIDEO WAS PERFECT 😭❤️

Nice!

We miss another production of you!

Shoutout to bisexual vampire lords. Gotta be one of my favorite genders

JOJO posing is just Voguing, even if you listent to that "pose" song, its just like the music they use in voguing contest to make poses. So basically JOJO is referencing queer communities and stuff

I don't understand this video.

A video made for a JoJo fan for a JoJo fan ❤️

Cool video.

Trigger warning: this dudes videos are pretentious, lame, uncreative and biased af.

love your channel. keep it up :)

Fond memories of the early 2000s when I would watch AMVs for anime that I was not able to see otherwise. Fun times talking with people online about new recommendations for fansubs and also imagining what things were like that I could only see still photos of.

Hey just found your channel your videos are awesome hope you’re well and hope to see some new content soon

I just now stumbled apon your channel and I really hope your ok whever you are or whatever your doing I just hope you know us fans are cheering you on

*poke with a stick * c'mon, do something interesting

My very first introduction to anime was Daft Punks Interstella and One more time when I was 4 years old and since then my brain was primed to seek out similar stuff.
To this day I remember and I am glad to have found amazing stuff like Jojo and the like

Hey buddy,

Just wanted to say that I really enjoy your videos and that I hope you're going to upload some content in the future.

I miss you, and hope you're well, michael

hope you're alright, michael. i entrust your next video is a big one.

You are jewish.

What happened to this channel?

Amazing. This video is modern art.

Almost a year without a new video. plz. I can't keep rewatching the same ones again and again.

Surprised you didn't bring up how Jojo's incorporates surrealist body horror so well.

This is an awesme video

I've enjoyed your videos that have used Fisher's Capitalist Realism as a divergence point for certain cultural forms, and I definitely learned a lot about JoJo from this video that helped me see the poses in a classical context.

But the video lost me at the end when it's claims of spreading the art of the pose over social media was likened to "information wants to be free" as a form of creativity. The impasse Capitalist Realism posits is to new forms that must break out of the modes they are transmitted through to negate previous ideas of what's possible, but a JoJo fandom is not an aesthetic for life or the future since it has no demands and only transmits an individual identity. The closest it comes is combining "realism and fantasy" but by comparing the poses to an artist who didn't get as much fame as he was due it suggests it's creativity is not in realizing art, but becoming a viral commodity...

Miss you buddy, you make me think and feel more introspective than anything I have ever encountered. I am figuratively dieing for more, but please take your time. They say you can't rush art

"Man makes his own history, but he does not make it out of the whole cloth; he does not make it out of conditions chosen by himself, but out of such as he finds close at hand. The tradition of all past generations weighs like an alp upon the brain of the living. At the very time when men appear engaged in revolutionizing things and themselves, in bringing about what never was before, at such very epochs of revolutionary crisis do they anxiously conjure up into their service the spirits of the past, assume their names, their battle cries, their costumes to enact a new historic scene in such time-honored disguise and with such borrowed language." - some german bloke

Man this is amazing, this should be a course taught in a university man seriously this was amazingly insightful. Good job I'm showing this to everyone I know!

There’s a certain level of care and love you put into your videos that makes whatever the thing your talking about contagious. Its a sin the amount of subscribers you have.

Your research is really complete, even mentioned Jojo tachi at NIco!! I have been reading Jojo manga since the 90s and it is a bizarre manga at that time. The "norm" of manga on Jump was DragonBall in the 80-90 and Jojo was never the most popular one. It is so different that people took a lot of time to understand the brilliance of it. The "stand" system is really the first at the time and inspired all the popular mangas later.

I learned a whole lot. Thanks for all the hard work!

Another excellent video - great to see JoJo getting the Michael Saba treatment, bravo!

Comment

Commenting on here for visibility, but I'd love for you to do a deep dive into Nier: Replicant 1.22, especially with the new added Ending E. Just found your channel through the Automata video and will now be binging haha

Critics are the worst they can't appreciate the thing that already exists
( Amazing video )

I miss you man I hope you make more videos. Your video on Metal Gear V really helped me in a dark place. You have a way with words that makes me feel the need to live whether I want to or not.

men i really miss the jojo leitmotifs
