Grant’s ability to find Sydneys in media is unparalleled

Me gathering resolve to achieve my dreams Gigguk:

Gigguk be out here inspiring people and saving lives by describing a manga

Man, it hits hard even for me. I am 26 years, but I still have the mentality of a child with hopes and dreams. My goals and ambitions aren't even materialistic ones, in the sense of finding something a passion that you will put into work. Rather than that, I had simple goal in life.To enjoy every bit of happy thing with my closest friends and family. I always had nostalgic sentiments over memories of the past that I didn't thought that someday would end. However, times have changed. People who supported me have move out, or are not longer with me, and the things I enjoyed eroded away over time. Ever since, the feeling of loneliness and sadness has turned into catalytic depression, which hardly I can pull off against. Still, deep down, I believe I have a hope of finding the simplest joy in life. It's probably the reason I remember my dreams in my sleep.

Oh boy, time for Gigguk to change my life again like he did after the “A Place Further than the Universe” video.

Gigguk's ability to sell people on manga and anime is just insane

As someone who struggles with maintaining motivation, this couldnt have come at a better time :)

"those sparks are the save point on the journey to making your dream come true" damn that hits

Gigguk always combining humor with monk-level enlightenment.

This bees and flies analogy is legitimately the funniest thing I've heard online all year, and the delivery here was great, actual certified garnt bee moment

HELL YEAH!!! I'm glad Garnt also picked this up. This series is hella dope just cuz of how relatable it is, and how expressive it can get with the process dealing with these emotions. Hope this series continues until a satisfying ending.

Man, this video was providential. It's exactly what I needed. I have been looking for something exactly like this and been feeling the creative itch recently. Thank you, Gigguk.

Description "unless you have a cute anime girl to sort you out of course" is 110% scientifically accurate

Thanks for this gigguk. I recently failed a semester at uni, and I felt like shit because it felt like I could never keep going. That I'd just keep failing if I tried. Not only this, but my partner of 4 years left. And it feels as though it's my fault. But I've been trying to use the loss of him as a driving force to continue my work and continue my dream. And then this pops up in my feed. And maybe it's stupid, but maybe in some way, the universe is telling me that I shouldn't give up. I just need to put my all into this. Thank you to anyone who bothered to read this ❤

"So, Reiner, at this moment, are you a bee? Or are you a fly?"

You pretty much summed up all my feelings about this series. I found myself relating so much to Tatsuhiko about all the dreams and passions I have and I never ended up pursuing and this series made me want to give an attempt at it. Still trying to find/make the time to do it, but little by little, it could all turn out fruitful. A Netflix anime adaptation is in the works and I know this story is worth it!

You may not achieve your dreams, but you should never stop dreaming, because someday the dream will end

It’s always a good day when gigguk posts a video with an onimous title about a random manga that’s probably gonna get a giant anime adaptation in 2 years

been reading beat and motion since it first started, i wasn’t completely sold at first but it’s really been developing into something special! glad to see it getting recognized

Thank you Gigguk for this video, I'll remember this for the rest of my life. This video inspires me to try harder on my dream now that I am currently dropped out of college. I'll use this break to make a name for myself before going back to uni. Thankyou again sir gigguk

Being 25 and having the mentality since 18 of just kinda gliding through life. I have never really had an ambition, I enjoy things, and will start things but I lose a drive to continue and bad habits distract me again with days passing without notice. Part of this is that mentality of "I can't fail if I never actually commit to anything." and another is just being self-defeating of myself. I am very aware of all this, have been for over 5 years, but I'm also in a weird state.. of being okay with it. I don't even know what I'm trying to say in the comment just felt like rambling. Just the video brought the thoughts to me as I reflect in them a lot.

I just have to give a shoutout to Gigguk - the guy's talent for selling manga and anime is absolutely insane! His passion and charisma make even the most skeptical folks curious about diving into the world of anime. On a side note, the journey in Beats And Motion is a reminder that even if we don't always achieve our dreams, it's crucial never to stop dreaming. Dreams have a funny way of evolving, and sometimes the journey itself is the most valuable part. As the story shows us, the dream may not last forever, but the experiences and lessons gained along the way are priceless. Keep dreaming, keep exploring, and who knows, the adventure might just lead you to unexpected and incredible places!

I saw it pop up when chapter 1 dropped and I’ve been following it voraciously ever since. It hits so hard as a man still trying to find his way into the engineering side of the music business.

Gigguk: "And at the end, there was someone waiting for him..." Me: who? Gigguk: "His younger self." Me: *literally bursts into tears.* God, I needed this. Thanks for the inspiring recommendation Gigguk!

Wow. I know this is just confirmation bias, but this video came to me in the exact day that I decided to let go of my dreams. I want to be a mathematician, and I am currently doing a PhD. Nothing seems to be working out. It was a project that I was mostly proud of when I started doing it (I somehow got it funded). Unfortunately, I was also pretty much alone for the most part of the PhD journey. No real friends, no true adviser too. But it was no fault of the people around me. I fancied myself as an independent researcher. I could more-or-less understand most of the mathematics that I read if I spend my time on it, but producing one is a completely different thing. I had ideas but I couldn't follow through them because of crippling anxiety. I just kept bouncing around from topic to topic and paper to paper. Never truly learning anything substantial. Today I decided to give up. But I can't after all. Math was everything for me for almost a decade now. I am still not that good. However, I want to honestly try again, one more time. I just want to finish writing my dissertation. For now I will work for one more year. I will use all the resources that I actually have. I will no longer pretend to be the cool independent student. I want to change. I don't know if I will make it or not, but I will be back here. Thanks Gigguk.

It's one of those mangas where you read and think "what am i doing"

Me: starts my day with unfazed motivation. Gigguk: give up

Never though I'd see Gigguk gas up Beat & Motion, but honestly this series is a pretty grounded (for the shounen demographic at least) take on the journey of reaching dreams within the entertainment industry including all of its external obstacles, hardships, self-doubts, insecurities, and etc. Some at first considered the prologue and earlier parts to be way too fast (considering how the male MC managed to transition from band work to animation pretty quickly in spite of his lack of practice over the years) but other than that, the rest of the journey is pretty well-paced and gives (near) equal focus to both protagonists in spite of their different goals (helps that their goals all supplement each other so they'll still be interacting even if they're apart at times). In a genre involving music and animation, I believe that this manga would benefit from an animated adaptation as a means to convey the art of the mcs.

"A fly never becomes reality tasting honey" - wisdom by gigguk (yes even i dont get the gist of it)

what you need to be is a man of focus, commitment, and sheer fucking will.

You are such an incredible script writer Garnt. All of your videos somehow find a way to give me the hard feels that make me want to do better, and keep trying.

HELL YEAH I’VE BEEN READING THIS MANGA EVER SINCE IT CAME OUT AND IT’S INCREDIBLE😤😤

Guys, I'm getting concerned. This is like the 5th Gigguk video where the title is something super depressing like "How it feels losing everyone", "You're worthless and always will be" and "She doesn't love you". Is the dark timeline slowly leaking through again?

I barely read Manga's, but this is the first Manga that I took interest in Reading a few months ago. It was exactly around the time when I had finished my finals and was feeling like I wasn't good at anything while everyone else I knew was doing better than me, and had planned their future. This manga really hit different for me, I am glad I found interest in it. Can't wait for the Anime adaptation!

I have this dream of making it to a great university. Gave up everything and started studying hard for months. One day my already broken phone stops working. I was hoping i would get a new and very expensive one after i have appeared for my exams, so this actually got me so much frustrated and depressed and now i think about it , thats so silly. So eventually i lose motivation to study and my parents do get me the phone i wanted and i stop preparing for the exam at all. I go back to being the way i was before. Now there is only 2 months left. I know i can do very good if i study hard enough , but i seem to lack motivation. But maybe god is with me, showed me this amazing video. Of course i am kot going to read the manga but i heard what gigguk said and what the story plot is. I dont feel motivated , but tomorrow i am up with a new energy. I dont expect anyone to read this but getting this off my chest feels nice Thank u god, thank u universe for giving me one more nudge to more forward

The kid ended up becoming a Mappa animator

"The road remains wide open while your dreams are alive, only fear can block the way. Let fear propel you forward, do not look back, do not let failure stifle you." Also Garnt, you HAVE a RL Anime waifu cheering you on, she's called you wife! ;)

Never stop doing this type of video man. I always look forward to them

I'm an artist and I feel like I cant achieve his dreams, but I still hold on to hope. thank you for recommending this manga

Thank you for making this video. Your analysis of this manga really hit home to me as well. I'd love to pick this manga up soon to try and inspire myself to be a bee more often!

To everyone reading this, never give up keep on trying. Nothing is impossible, thanks for the good video gigguk

Hell yeah. THis manga dropped onto my radar from basically out of nowhere and it's been in my top list of reads for a while now. Glad you're spotlighting it, Garnt!

Been reading this since it hit the app and im happy to see this series getting love. Very well put together.

Beat & Motion very quickly became one of my favorite currently releasing series when I picked it up. The way it presents fear of chasing your dreams and the will to overcome it is so moving. It's a phenomenal story and definitely worth a read for anyone.

This is the first time I've cried to one of your videos. I think it's because of probably the subject matter, it felt like this was a story you were telling about me, down to the last detail. Not in a metaphorical sense, either. Growing up I wanted to be an animator, and make anime, and then that dream sort of shifted to music after it died out. As a music producer, I've recently been picking up animation again, and I've been working on the storyboards for music videos. I'm similar to who this story is about, in the sense that I'm a dreamer, with huge ambitions and goals that I've found it easy to lose hope in. Many scrapped ideas, many unfinished projects and many half baked and half rendered tests fill my uninspiring and unreleased portfolio, and I have nothing to show for those dreams. But sometime within the last few years, I did have a dream. Not like in the sense of a desire or aspiration, an actual dream. The dream came after watching the anime "A place further than the universe", in which I saw the northern lights for the first time. I kept having this dream for weeks, and one morning, I got up and said "I'm gonna do it." So I looked it up and did all the research, plans changed from norway, to iceland to alaska to sweden to back to norway again, and years passed as the idea seemed to fade into impossibility. The dreams stopped too, for a while. But they did come back, showing me on the flight, and it would always be the same dream of me, getting to the airport, getting on the plane, and then waking up before arriving. This really frustrated me, and I started to feel that mindset of 'I'm just gonna do it' coming back, and so I did just go and do it. I'm 18 years old, and so you can imagine it wasn't super easy, but on the 26th of september this year, I'd completed my first ever big life dream. It changed me in a way, since when I came back on that flight, I was listening to a song. Porter Robinson - Look at the sky, for anyone who's curious, and ideas flooded my head. Ideas for a music video, shot for shot, every little sequence and detail was in my head and I could see it vividly. I guess I felt my passion for being creative come back in that instant. I'm working on it still, and it's not been easy, but It's going to get done. I guess TL:DR. I didn't believe in myself to be able to complete my dreams of being an animator, or a musician, or a photographer or artist or to be able to see the northern lights. But seeing the northern lights set me into motion in a way, similar to how the girl did in this story. Thank you for reading. I may have to read this manga :)

This really hits home, thank you for making this video. I'll make sure to read this manga. I also have a dream of being an animator like the protag. My drive for it was lost during most of my highschool years and now I'm studying to finish my studies because I don't have my HS diploma. A spark grew in me a 2 months ago and I spend most of my free time studying art and playing video games haha. This is making me realize that It's not to late for me, I'm still young being only 19...but I felt like It was hopeless because I compare myself to others a lot. I hope this vid gets more traction because man this hit me like truck-kun

Thanks for making this video I started watching this manga about a month ago and i am glad that its getting recognized

Let's go! Glad someone is talking about beat and motion. Saw the first chapter on viz when it came out and have been keeping up since and I've loved it with every release. As a mid twenties adult I related right from the start. I had no motivation and didn't enjoy any of my hobbies. But this has sparked me to get back into stuff I used to enjoy and enjoy it for the sake of my own enjoyment.

I swear when you revealed that his younger self was waiting for him.....I had to pause and my eyes were about to burst open. And yeah, this manga sounds incredibly relatable and very on-point when it comes to dreams and the road to get to them...maybe I should pick it up.

so beyond excited to see Garnt cover a manga i'd been enjoying since chapter 1 released thank u for getting more people to talk about it

Thank you Gigguk. I needed this kind of reminders. I have been at a slump with both college and work. In College I hit a roadblock in my research and at work I have been sent home for almost a month with my pay being held up. My only source of income recently was voice over job that should help get past 1-2 weeks. I don't want to give up, but I am at the phase of 'what's the point of working hard if you aren't getting any rewards.'

Been reading Beat & Motion since chapter 1, very happy to see gigguk review it, literally just started the video. Hopefully this trend of everything he reviews becomes popular and gets an anime continues with this.

6:12 into the video, pause, catch up in an hour, come back i love this manga already, i had the biggest grin on my face reading it, even if the upload schedule for the chapters is bad most places

This one is gonna have so much feels, I’ll start this weekend

Gigguk Never Disappoints 🗿 Dragon Ball Daima, Link Click, Demon Slayer Season 3, Pluto, Frieren Beyond the End, Vinland Saga Season 2, One Piece (whatever season it was), Attack on Titan Season Finale, and Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 are the peak anime of this year and are enough to provide an intriguing experience ❤

Finally a video on a series I already follow! i'm on the INSIDE now!

It's always nice and different to see when gigguk covers a manga that i already been reading than vice versa

Damn the editing on all these panels is so good

As a young person who will (relatively) soon enter adult life, this story looks like a must read to me ! Especially with how many project and ideas I have in my head.

This title is so inspirational. I will adhere to these words for the rest of my life. Thank you Gigguk

I came across this manga when it was about 10 chapters in, I've been keeping up with it ever since and it's the one (along with chainsaw man) that finally convinced me to read more manga. As someone who wants to create and make fun and personal things this manga hits hard and true. It's so easy to be distracted or discouraged by everything I see and take in around me and it's led me into a creatively dead cycle. But this manga helps to remind me that it is possible to follow through with the dreams I want to achieve, but it will take a lot of hard work. Don't mind me while I write down to remind myself to reread all those earlier chapters again Edit: HOLY CRAP IT'S THEIR DEBUT MANGA?????

BRO HOW DID I NOT SEE YOU POST THIS I LOVE THIS MANGA

Great video Gigguk. But I'm going to play devil's advocate here and say I wish we had more stories about not achieving your dreams. There are far too many stories that are about "pursue your passion" and "go for your dream" but we rarely get stories about how its okay to not have a grand dream and that life isn't always about the pursuit. What I love about Pixar's animated movie "Soul" is that pursuing a dream is great and all, but it is more valuable to just being able to just live and experience life. That just being a decent human being and helping/inspiring others is just as meaningful as your personal embodied ambition. A dream is just one aspect of your life, it shouldn't define your actions or outlook on life.

Man...the moment he said that the protagonist wanted to be an animator I felt a twitch in my heart. I'm currently working as an illustrator for a game dev company but all I really wanted to do was animation. I was able to do a bit of animation in the current job I'm in but it wasn't the same. I felt like I didn't have enough skills to do what I really want so I stopped pursuing it. This manga seems right up my alley but I'm afraid of what kinda impact it would have on me. But fuck it, if it scares me just by the idea of reading it, maybe there's a deeper part in me who still wants to fulfill my dreams, no?

I'm feeling down for a while (mildly said) and the title just kick me right to the feels. Now i'm feeling even worse. Thanks Garnt

*All dreams, no matter how big or small, are valid.* I love this quote so much. My close friends for 10 years didn't believe in what I want to do, then lecture me to get a normal day job which I had before and quit to pursue my dreams and goals. They then asked me whats my current goals, which I said short term goal is to get a new TV, long term dream is to get recognize by game companies and do commissions for them. They straight up insulted them and said those aren't dreams or goals, and kept saying they are lecturing me cause they care. Well they aren't my friends anymore. Now I got a new 4k Sony TV, got recognized from hoyoverse and nikke to be part of their content creator program and got even commissions, 1 year after that argument with my ex besties. SO KEEP HUSTLING! even if your close friends don't believe in you, you have to keep that spark alive like what gigguk said!

It's the unknown that scares us and not want to try anything. We look at other people's success and see them as perfectly polished with no flaws. We don't know how long we'll be climbing to reach our goals or if we can even reach them at all, so then we decide to give up them because it's feels better that way, more within our comfort zone. Never give up. Everyone begins at the starting line, but it's your choice to see when you cross the finish line. And then when you do, ask yourself this: Am I really done?

The bit of having a dream to guide you is so important. During school I was shunted along from class to class and grade to grade with everyone else. I had a purpose that was given to me and instead of dreaming about what *I* wanted to be I played out the dreams of the people in stories. Then when the time came to spread my wings and fly with the rest of my classmates, I crashed, and I crashed quickly. That was about a decade ago and the experience still haunts me in an almost palpable way.

emerguncy titel change

wasnt the title "you will never achieve anything in life" and the thumbnail saying "give up"

I've been reading this manga since chapter one. Glad to see it get this recognition

You know when people say "he's literally me fr"? The main protagonist is literally me, like actually me. I started sobbing half way thru the video because dude is literally me fr.

I wasn’t planning on spending the morning shoving my breakfast into my mouth while crying my eyes out but here i am! Where can i read this manga without pirating it cause i’d like to support this debuting artist lol

one minute of video and I'm already searching for this manga... Well done, Gigguk...👏

12:02 that english bloke is an absolute inspiration

Yoooo, never expected Gigguk to talk about this masterpiece

Hell yeah! Hell yeah! Hell yeah! Gigguk talking about Beat and Motion! Been reading since the earliest days and the main character indeed inspired me a lot too. Now watching gigguk talking about it just hit really differently!

For anybody searching music on 10:26 - 11:35: it's second part of "Shinsou no reijou" from Monogatari Series. If you didn't watched it - i highly recommend it

Peak & Fiction needed this spotlight, it's madly underrated among new manga. Maturely handled character dramas and creative visual storytelling, Naoki Fujita's dripping with a similar passion to the characters that's just hard to ignore. With an anime confirmed the Million Tag competition it won along with a serialization, it's the next big thing that you can still witness in it's early stages.

There's many stoies about achieving dreams and never giving up, but I never found one that explores what it's like not having a dream. I don't mean someone who gave up on their future, I mean someone who never had a dream or something that they wish to do. I personally am like this so I'm not able to relate to stories like this one and I'm always courious as to why nobody talks about this, am I the only one who doesn't have a dream? idk but I hope to one day find a story about my mindset

It's insane how much more progress I've made after starting to believe in myself. It's not easy but as long as I give myself the slightest bit of faith then even if it takes a long time and I fall over many pitfalls... I'll get there one day :D

Damn, dude. You got me on the verge of tears watching a UKposts video overview of a manga. In so many ways I feel like a failure and a disappointment, like the dreams I’m passionate about are forever out of reach so why bother even trying. I don’t know how I’m going to get out of my current unfulfilling survival loop, but maybe I can start making some small steps again.

1:20 that integration was smooth as butter

I have been reading this manga since chapter 1 came out, and I'm so happy this video will show more people this beautiful story

Gigguk... I'm 28 now and remember watching you in middle school and highschool. I love your videos, thanks for this quality content.

It's always a treat to listen to Grant the Anime man philosophical talk.

It’s simple, Gigguk recommends a manga and I read it

As someone who also in a kind of crossroads with whether or not to pursue my dreams, this Manga looks like it might hit close to home for me too! I can't wait to check it out! Thanks for another awesome Manga recommendation Gigguk! :)

Man I read this one before this video is posted and thinking why this one is unpopular, thanks gigguk for making this one popular i really liked this series!

Thank you again for this manga recommendation. Smoking behind the Supermarket was released in my country a couple days ago and it hit hard. Absolutely beautiful manga

I'm so glad this series is getting attention!! I had been reading it and recommend it to people but it's always hard for me to use words to express how amazing something is but he did a fantastic job with hyping it up

I've cried so many times reading this manga I actually can't believe this is Naoki-sensei's debut manga because this story is incredible I'm so glad it didn't get axed and that it resonates with so many readers being successful thus far I beg a studio picks this up and adapts it into an anime deffo a story that many more need to see for themselves!!!

Finally someone makes a video on this. I've been reading since chapter 1 dropped and it's my most anticipated manga each week only second to Choujin X

This manga has been one of my favorites so I knew there'd be a Gigguk video on it eventually. Lol

0:05 Such an inspirational Brandon Sanderson quote.

Keep up the good work appreciate your input.

It's so depressing to just give up but you're right and this is good advice

gigguk's videos always hits hard right in the feels. Have to read the manga right now

Even when you're thinking of giving up... Or if you feel like there's no hope... You must not quit.

I’m 100% reading the entire manga now. For me, I never have any motivation cause it always felt better to be ridiculed and mocked for your lack of enthusiasm or motivation that being mocked despite having genuinely tried and put in hard work and effort
