00:00Hi Daymotion, how are you? Today we're going to talk about an anime and slash manga, but not just any anime, we're going to talk about Ranking of King, Osama... Osama of King I think? No, I don't have it, I think I remember. Osama Ranking, Osama Ranking.
00:17But before I tell you why it's cool and why you should give it a chance, comment right now which anime or manga I should check out.
00:24I want to discover new things, so go ahead and comment. And also, thanks to those who share, like, boost the video, in short, you know.
00:31So, Ranking of King, what is it? It's a manga and there's an anime adaptation that's very, very, very good, which I recommend.
00:40I first discovered it through the anime, but it tells the story of Boji, a little prince, a young prince who is deaf and mute, who is the son of a king and he is a king who is a giant.
00:52It's a heroic medieval fantasy universe and actually what's interesting is that because of his handicap and his very small size,
01:03everyone considers him as someone weak, as someone stupid, as someone who really has no value, who is unfit to become king,
01:13unfit to take over from his father, yet Boji possesses great sensitivity.
01:19He has immense courage and a will that is indestructible.
01:24He has boundless determination and above all he has purity and kindness of soul.
01:30One day he will meet Kage, who is a shadow, because it seems to me that Kage means shadow in Japanese, I think, if I'm not mistaken.
01:37If my LV2 or LV3 Japanese is good.
01:41And Kage is a survivor of an assassin clan who became a thief.
01:46Despite his cynicism, Kage recognizes Boji's sincerity.
01:50Actually, at the beginning he's going to... it's not a spoiler, it's really the very beginning.
01:54At first he will mock him.
01:56He's going to make fun of the fact that he doesn't speak, he's going to make fun of the fact that he's mute, that he has a disability.
01:59He's not going to take it seriously.
02:01And then in fact he is aware of the world in which he lives.
02:05He knows that people abuse, he knows that people make fun of...
02:08Well, if you give this, they take that.
02:11So he is on his guard.
02:14And in fact, little by little, he will be softened by Boji.
02:19By the sincerity of the little man that he is, by the courage that he has, by the intentions.
02:24And he won't understand because Boji is truly a pure little heart in a world that's much too dark for him.
02:34And who is exceptionally adorable.
02:37He is terribly endearing.
02:39I challenge anyone to watch this thing and not fall for Boji.
02:43And it is he who will become his first true friend and first ally.
02:49And so from there, a very strong friendship will be sealed.
02:53And so he sets off on a quest across the world, this world, to become king.
02:59So.
03:00And there will be plenty of plots.
03:01There will be political plots, betrayals, conspiracies, magic, twists and turns, etc.
03:09And Boji will seek to prove his worth in the midst of all this.
03:13And find his place as a sovereign worthy of respect.
03:16Because his goal is not just to reign, because reigning is easy.
03:20But it is gaining the respect of his people.
03:23Exactly what I do as Grand Vizier after all.
03:27Brief.
03:28Ranking of King is a coming-of-age tale that explores strength of heart and courage in the face of disability.
03:35And friendship and the power of resilience.
03:39And the mangaka who takes care of that is Soussouké Toka.
03:41He was a relatively mysterious author until now, having started Rankings of King as his very first publication.
03:49And he started it as an online publication.
03:52Its graphic style is deliberately simple.
03:54These are rather thick lines.
03:57It is...
03:58It is...
03:59So I was going to say it's flat tints.
04:00It's not...
04:01In the anime yes but not in the...
04:03The anime has a very Ghibli vibe.
04:05Very slice of life.
04:08Very...
04:08Yeah it's...
04:10It has a graphic style close to that of a tale.
04:13And very very close to the first Ghibli.
04:15More atmosphere.
04:16I'm talking about colorimetry.
04:17Not history.
04:18But really at the level of colors.
04:20I would say more in a Mononoke spirit.
04:23Or Princess Mononoke.
04:25Or Totoro.
04:26It's a bit of a choreography as if it were a book.
04:31A storybook with a bit of pastel watercolor.
04:33That kind of thing.
04:36And especially the music.
04:37So the music in Ranking of King.
04:40They are terribly good.
04:42But so much so that I used more than one on the channel to make videos.
04:47On the YouTube channel I used more than one because they are...
04:50They are very good vibes.
04:53Very very good vibes.
04:53You listen to this in the morning and you wake up.
04:55You want to walk across plains for hours.
04:59And you have your heart in your hand.
05:02And you're just happy to be alive.
05:04It's very very cute.
05:06The two openings.
05:06The opening music is also very cool.
05:08Very different in their style.
05:10I have a slight preference for the first one.
05:11But they are not even comparable in fact.
05:14They are so in two different styles that...
05:16And at the same time I find that they perfectly illustrate the spirit of the series.
05:22I can't tell you any better than that.
05:25Without going any further or spoiling anything, but...
05:27Yeah.
05:28So.
05:29And yet under these first appearances.
05:31Don't be put off by the very cute, very colorful, very visual aspects of what you are going to see.
05:37Because this series, this anime, this manga hides much more mature plots than you might think.
05:44And which are sometimes even very very very very dark.
05:47And a little hard.
05:48You're going to shed a little tear.
05:50You're definitely going to shed a little tear.
05:52Otherwise you have no heart.
05:54You have no heart, you have a heart of stone.
05:55I don't know what to do with you.
05:57I don't know what to tell you except to get out.
05:59Regardless, the original publication was launched on the independent platform MangaHack in 2017.
06:06Japanese publisher Enterbane is a subsidiary of Kado Kawa.
06:13It is available in 16 published volumes.
06:15And that was in 2024 at the time I said that.
06:17Since then, there have been a few more.
06:19We are in the second season.
06:20So I think there must be 6, 6, 12, 20, 32 volumes maybe.
06:26There must be 32 volumes or something.
06:29It's still in progress.
06:30Obviously, it wasn't over.
06:31In France, it has been published by Kiyun since 2021.
06:34The edition was praised for its faithfulness and enhancement of the original graphic style.
06:38And I tend to agree with that.
06:39For having had the chance to have had the work in my hands.
06:43The manga is very close to the anime.
06:46The anime is very close to the manga.
06:49Because it was the manga that existed first.
06:50But the graphic style is very well suited.
06:54It works for both.
06:57I almost didn't feel like I was seeing two different works.
07:00I felt more like it was one and the same thing.
07:05That both had been done at the same time.
07:06By the same person, almost.
07:09The adaptation, or at least the anime, is produced by WIT Studio.
07:13It's a famous studio that notably made Attack on Titans.
07:17I know there are quite a few Attack on Titan fans who would mention this.
07:24Seasons 1 to 3 obviously.
07:26But Vinland Saga too, if that speaks to you.
07:28Aired in October 2021 until March 2022.
07:32It seems to me that it started again there, not very long ago.
07:35The director is Yosuke Hata.
07:36So I don't know if for season 2, it's still the same director.
07:39The design character on the other hand, if you have the information, tell me in common.
07:43Don't hesitate, I'm not an expert, so don't hesitate to give additional information if you have it.
07:49Atsuko Nozaki, character design, music by Mayuko.
07:53Season 1, 23 episodes.
07:54Season 2, I believe there is similarly the same number.
07:58And there's a spin-off that apparently aired in 2023 picking up side stories.
08:03Which is called Ranking of King, Treasure of Shests of Courage.
08:08And the visual style, the anime was noted for its fluid and expressive animation.
08:12With a rendering close to old European tales.
08:15And a wealth, a great emotional wealth.
08:17So.
08:19This was my recommendation of the day.
08:22Seriously, give him a chance, he's very, very cool.
08:24Thank you for following this far.
08:26If so, please give it a boost, a like, or a comment if you liked it.
08:31And most importantly, recommend an anime or manga to check out.
08:35Because I'm dying to discover new things and I'm bored at home.
08:38I'm going around in circles like a caged lion.
08:40In short, this was the great Metaverse visor at your service.
08:44And we'll see you tomorrow for the next video.
