To be clear, I am not saying non-Japanese Sonic works are automatically bad. They can absolutely be good, great, or even better than the Japanese stuff. This is not a matter of being good or bad. This a matter of being true to Sonic. There was a lot in this video I was considering cutting. But I decided to leave everything in for this one. Because this is a topic that can easily receive kneejerk, irrational responses, I figured it would be best to provide as much detail about my point as possible. Apologies if my grasp of Shinto is off the mark. As I said, I've not researched it very extensively. As I say in the video, do your own research. I find Shinto promotes an interesting philosophy, regardless of the beliefs behind it. Don't think too much about the thumbnail being different to my typical ones. It's simply that the ink style of the art does not lend to being on a black background, for obvious reasons. Though I have been kicking around the idea of white background thumbnails for a while. Maybe have them for a different kind of video? Let me know what you think. Here's Literature Devil's excellent video on Western and Eastern storytelling. Thanks to Solebinku for sending it my way. I've been watching a lot of Literature Devils' stuff lately. He makes great stuff. You can support me here if you want.
