Indie Mangaka to Indie Mangaka: Western Manga with  

RDC World built themselves from the ground up. Their million plus subscribers aren’t charity follows. No need to discredit their hustle. They truly love manga and anime.

37:31 I wouldn't ask him to soften at all, but to be polite, respectful, and make his points with facts. Unfortunately he's too prideful to understand this by himself. His morals are partly crippled.

While I’m in no which way shape or form against the ManaA movement, We technically already have a term for stories told through sequential art in the west, and all of the other areas aside from France translate to that very same word, which is Comics. So if the only point was to not use the term Manga or get out of the shadow of manga why not just call it Comics? I feel that saying ManaA is its own medium inspired by Manga, while also using Japanese sound effects in your content etc keeps ManaA within the “shadow” of Manga.

Bro koffee be making stuff up there's no classism its good and entertaining content is what get subs ive seen countless new channels pop up all the time rise up he sucks is all

Really great interview! I like his reasoning behind the name "ManaA" because of the biblical reference. but because Koffee points to himself as the source, I can't fully get behind it. I like the sentiment, but y'know, he's not God. One of the reasons why I really like what you have to say about manga and storytelling as a whole is because, as I see it, it's encouraging and others to create stories of substance. It was odd to me for me to hear Koffee to say he's the only one...as he's having an interview with you. (edit: after re-listening to this interview, I'm reacting to something Koffee has said in another video, not this one, my bad) About Koffee's delivery: I do believe he *can* have more reach if he was to do that. Since Koffee appeals to scripture as inspiration for ManaA, I would point to verses like Proverbs 16: 21,24 as examples for how his words can be more persuasive *if* he's willing to be more garcious with what he says. The suggestion you make in your follow up video I believe is an excellent example of this. I know for me, it's easier to look past the harshness of his words to hear what he's saying. But what I appreciate about your follow up was the moment of reflection afterwards to think about his points. I know a trap for me is equate the "matter of fact" way of speech to be trustworthy because of my background. I think just continue to ask questions and you won't have to worry about an interview becoming a debate. It's a challenge and push back enough in an interview. It's also really great because you get to pull more out of the person as they respond. Great stuff

Yo great video bro never thought you'd interview koffee comics
