To me, this OVA was the peak of Clannad, and I am glad my intuition told me to watch it last, for I see it as the true ending of the series (most people will disagree, ofc. . .)
A love letter for humankind. The original ending was perfect. Instrumentation project was there all the time. Just perfect. You can enjoy eoe and the Ovas later.
Why is it odd for some of these princesses in those movies to not have character arcs? They clearly didn’t need one and their development already happened off screen as shown by their surroundings. These are what you call flat character arcs, where they mostly stay the same person from beginning to end and overcome some challenges that only help them understand and be who they are.
Thanks! Means a lot you enjoyed the video. I actually used that track twice, once at 18:57 and another right at the end. It was a way to use the most iconic song of the movie (with a fantastic cover by Astrophysics) as an intro and outro to 4.0.
The best CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT and ABSOLUTE BUTTER PACING of the story, and every episode has a meaning, every turning point, every person that involves our mc and fml, and how everytime we think of the WHAT IF's really hit us. How a parent can sacrifice everything for the future of their children. ABSOLUTE CINEMA
I might be 3 years late but great video bro your take on this episode opened my eyes because I watched it so long ago and even though I got the jist of it you have helped me appreciate clannad even more than before. Thank you for making such great video on my favorite series of all time
I have got to disagree with you on Esmeralda. She is not bland at all and has some flaws that cause her to get in some trouble, but also because she doesn’t just think for herself but for everyone else around her who are outcasted like herself and Quasimodo. She has just as much depth as Ariel, Belle and Jasmine, probably even a bit more than at least one of them. Unlike Pocahontas who has little to nothing interesting about her and feels way too mature and not flawed enough.
I loved the ending I watched eva like 2021 and it really impacted me dealing with my own depression while watching it , I think the orginal ending was great and the end of evangelion was great really dark creepy and cruel I liked it I found some of the scenes were so beautiful and impactful but i prefer the orginal series and ending the end was great as a companion piece as an alternate ending...now the rebuilds while I enjoyed there are alot of crazy impressive scenes I felt part 3 and 4 were just kinda strange and going in weird directions I liked the ending with mari and shinji growing up but he idk it was ok over all the orginal ending was the most solid and conclusive to the characters I think people that hated the ending didn't really understand and get it at all and got mad which is bizarre I dont think the message was that complex if you just paid attention
2.0 is still my favorite not only EVA film but honestly one of my favorite anime films. It was a perfect representation of what Evangelion could be in the mainstream. 3.0’s nature of being depressing and tonally opposite of what 2.0 was is pretty much why almost everyone hated that film. 3.0 was almost 100% ambiguous with its storytelling and writing

Whenever i come across this anime, it's not like i'm getting hyped to rewatch it. It's more like... Getting ready... Yeah... Good is that, now I have a fianceé that wants to watch it with me, so..
Ima be real, I get that shows like this are peak but these kinds of depressing introspective shows make me want to end it all so I’m good. I watch anime to enjoy it not stare into the abyss. Christ. Great video tho really good analysis.
The last two episodes were the only good ones the first 24 were so boring and honestly a waste of time with only a few adding substance to what could’ve been a crazier story
I've got to put it out there even though it's not anime. The movie, The Last Dragon was released in 1985. 6 years before the first super Saiyan transformation ever aired on television. If you know this obscure Motown Kung Fu movie. Then you know the main character reaches his goal of transforming his inner ki that greatly intensifies his skill, speed, and power under the threat of kissing his life, his little brother and the woman he's in love with. This new power is represented by a golden glow that emanates over his entire body. I've always wondered if Akira Toriyama had seen this or if it's a great coincidence.
It took me years to realise how much nothing happens in this show. Just like you said here. And sometimes doing nothing is so important. After watching through it once and (of course) bawling my eyes out in the end, it became my comfort show; whenever there is tension, I will watch it once again to relax. People dismiss it as moe bait a la Lucky star...but there is way more than that. I hope more people realise this. (ps, if the slice of life sitcom style isn't your thing but like the animation, watch Sound Euphonium. Similar story, but with an evolving interesting plot ;) )
Don't you get it?, Everything is in the imagination of Harumi, a girl who has no friends, all the characters are imaginary friends trying to keep her happy, that's why she can create and destroy universes
I believe Goku's ultra instinct was him making full circle back to the original transformation of Super Saiyan One being fully mastered of his inner most being.
It was similar to it, but not quite. The super Saiyan transformation was the legend Goku reached in a moment of rage, untapping a potential deep into his race's DNA. Ultra Instinct was Toriyama's trying to put an end to the long line of transformations, making it not about being a Saiyan, but a peak of power of control, something Goku had to keep trying until he finally got to reach it for a few moments just for it to not be enough to beat Jiren. It's sadly something we'll never quite to see realized, doubt we'll see the conclusion now.
@@QuizMasterEntertainment considering you responded to me means you didn’t IGNORE me. So you’re wrong about that like you’re wrong for liking DBS. That show is a soulless cash grab for 7 year olds.
@@TienMostPowerfulEarthlingOfAll You are not good at debating, huh? You said "We do not talk about DBS" and I replied to the main comment talking about the exact same topic. Also anyone who just goes as low as to say "You are wrong on liking something" has no value by any means. Your opinion is your own, but your personality is undeniable trash, specially if you have to turn it into a personal attack.
I do t like spiderman because it's more of his own personal story of triumph and puts so much pressure on such things I don't want my kid to care about soni say No to spiderman
I wish they would recreate the original story (not rebuild) and throw out all the ugly filler episodes in the middle of the series. Instead include more infos on all the background mythology
personally I loved both endings and the series broke me as a person. Very few pieces of media have ever brought a tear to my eye or made me feel something strong with one being Tales of Berseria, Berserk and this being the other. I felt like my mind literally snap and broke during the ending of the TV show as I binged watched the final 4 episodes and the movie in 1 night and man they did an excellent job at making you feel what Shinji must have felt. Especially since I found I really related to Shinji a lot in aspects. The way I personally depicted the endings was this. the TV ending is what happens if Shinji stayed in the Interstice/heaven world thing but embraced himself and became a better person and broke his vicious cycle of hate. Which in turn brought him the happiness he desired since they kept saying how the interstice would "fix" the broken parts of you. My other theory at the time (but no longer) was that the interstice was like hell instead of a heaven where your were forced to see your deepest darkest emotions and the only way you could escape back to reality was to confront and beat your weakness hence the ending with him being cheered on by everyone. Then the movie ending was what happens if Shinji realises reality, no matter how hurtful at times, is still the better and REAL option. Even though he returned to a sad and broken world it was the REAL WOLRD with REAL PEOPLE. His relationships in the interstice would just be how HE saw his friends and family. It wasn't actually them. But at least in the real world though he would still have his negative emotions etc he could overcome them and the people he encountered would all be real emotions too. Which is why Asuka stroking his face at the end was sweet because that was a real show of affection. Not the fake affection from the other world. Its a lot nicer and more loving to think the REAL Asuka cared/loved Shinji enough to show him that side of her (which she didn't show anyone else at the time) compared to a fake version of her just appealing to Shinjis idea of her. Thats why I felt it was sad for everyone who stayed in the Interstice and very sad for my favourite Misato who stayed there because though they were kinda happy and got to embrace the things they desired most, it was all fake. Misatos relationship she had in the interstice is a fake one, she isn't really with the one she loves and she will never actually experience having a proper/real relationship. And are the others in her world? since she mainly expressed lust in the show does that mean her "perfect" world doesn't have the others who she cared about because her lust comes in more? I am basing all this on the fact the only time we see Misato being referenced in the interstice is the love making scene and the fact images of that scene kept playing in her head whilst daydreaming etc. Same with Shinjis dad. He pined so much for his wife who passed away that he would rather the fake wife in the Interstice than his REAL ALIVE son. Think about that for a second. Shinji was there, he had family, he had a connection to his wife in Shinji. But he chose to not only neglect his son causing trauma to him but he USED his son to get the relationship with his wife back that isn't even real. sorry for the long post but its such a mind boggle of a show that I just had to express the way I saw it and the fact nobody else I know watches anime it makes it annoying cuz I got all this built up expression for it but I cant say out hahaha oh and to address the strangling scene at the end. My personal take on it was Shinji wasn't sure what was reality or the interstice since his world kept being warped and his mind messed with. So when he comes back to the real world and sees Asuka who in the interstice was berating him, he lashed out not knowing it was the REAL Asuka. Then when she caresses him he realises hes mistaken and its the real one after all. Also I thought she calls him an idiot at the end not disgusting? And as for Asuka I think she was expressing her true feelings for him with the caress since she also would have been in the interstice with him at the time but like Shinji she made her way back. I think her world she saw the truth which was she cared about him and the others and maybe she loved him (since she was always trying to show affection before with wanting him to kiss her and sleeping next to him). So when she finds him strangling her she does the only thing she could think of. It just so happened to be the very thing Shinji needed.
"The work, which becomes a new genre itself, will be called: COWBOY BEBOP" Shinichiro Watanabe supposedly wanted to change up space opera that he created the new genre of 'Space Jazz' which is definitely the perfect encapsulation of Cowboy Bebop.
