if a music video uses manga panels would it be more interesting to use straight up RAW nippon scans or english-translated text? this is important

it depends on a lot of things but imo raw scans would be better "art" wise

i'd agree with that and it'd add a bit of style to it due to hiragana/kanji unarguably being cooler to look at than english text but some relatablitlity might be lost every scene used isn't impactful

but anyway thanks two finger truly the master as expected

is relatability not a word? i feel like it was at some point in my life. fuck it

english-translated text

why tho

why tho

If it's meant to go along with the song, much of the impact is lost if the viewer can't actually read it. Like if it was syncing up with the lyrics it's immensely helpful for the text to actually read along with the song, it flows more naturally.

yeah like I said it depends on a lot of factors
if the text in the panels are relevant to the song, or rather what you're trying to present, it'd be better for it to be readable by your audience
