Hey there! I analyze and discuss anime pretty in depth here! Usually darker-themed anime, but we have a good mix of everything from shounens to even romance! If you want a historical, philosophical, or even just a general look at anime, this is the place! Plus, some comedy here and there.
Thank you for creating this channel. I come here often to contemplate existence in a world that provides so many faux and interchangeable answers to it. The nature of mankind runs the gamut from meaningless to divine depending on who you ask, yet I often wonder how so much of our species is ok with never touching upon these subjects. For some I think it is fear, fear of the unknown and the absurd and yet for others like you, myself and many on this channel, it seems were born to question the things that most of humanity dare not seek out for fear that they may actually someday find an answer.
I just rewatched this series with a few friends. It made me so happy back when I first watched it and made me happy again all these years later. I am a cynical bastard but boy this show just makes me smile and tear up.
honestly, mike pondsmith is a genius, dude wrote one of the best cyberpunk settings, and has been intimately involved in the production of every game, show, etc in his world. He puts that vision before everything else, even if it's depressingly relatable
im almost done with the manga and i have less than 10 chapters left. When i first finished the anime I was so amazed by the show and phos's character. but the manga shows even more of phos's journey of change.
I was pretty severly abused as a child. I really related to spike as a child I thought I had a secret origin story that made me cool. feeling at 11 or twelve I was pretending to be mature wishing some manic pixie dream girl would come and save my life if only to take away my feeling pain. I thought heaven would be flcl for complex reasons which is scary in hindsight... but that was not the hand I was dealt. I kept pushing forward till I had a breakdown and got diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia. Even the act of making this comment part of me knows better, part of me know I should be afraid of being mocked. but still the alternative is giving up. sitting with the pain. the worst pain is knowing as long as your alive things can get worse. and the only way to combat it is to make ourselves vulrnable to every thing that lead us to that conclusion. your channel affects me. up their with bonsai pop and super eyepatch wolf. thanks for being so authentic. it's a good reminder of the good the rest of us can and need to do.
My lifes quote is as follows: "When life gives you lemons, laugh, and life will laugh with you." I have alot, A LOT, of issues with myself, but one thing ive always loved about myself is my ability to laugh off horrible shit. Laughter truly refreshes the spirit.
"I desire simple things that i can hold and understand. Everything else is overwhelming." I wish i could tell that to everyone i met, thats exactly how i feel
Kyoko and homura aren't that selfish Kyoko made a wish for her dad and it didn't end well and homura suffered a lot trying to save her only true friend
Just wanted to say… thank you for doing Mamimi such justice. Really loved the deep dive into the character. She was really formative for me, growing up. I somehow found myself always wanting to save her, while watching FLCL. Now, after viewing this, I feel like I’m one step closer to understanding why.
There are many forms of violence...insults are verbal violence So if someone insults you, then they are capable of being insulted, that's just common sense
I think shows like this don't really predict much, but rather look to the past. They have an understanding of the human behavior which underlies everything to see the cycles that our behavior movies in. Every new invention or society will receive a remix of previous reactions, for better or worse
To breathe, our bodies take the atmosphere around us, break it down into parts to utilize some of it, and expel the rest. To walk and to run, we have to eat food, the product of something else alive, to have the energy for motion. Even if these creates cycles of life, there is still an expenditure of energy for it to happen, creating temporary scarcity. I don't have "modernist brainrot," I have an understanding that everything in the world is inherently built on limitation. I hate much of what modern society has become, I would much prefer to not have to work these 60ish hour weeks to try and make my dream a reality because of people abusing these principles, so I understand the desire to hate it very well. However, people often assume that everything about the modern world is some false construct when it flat out isn't. Just because a principle is used in the wrong way doesn't mean its false. That's part of the point of Psycho-Pass and Akane's decisions; she leaves Sibyl in place because a bastardization of the principle of law doesn't necessity a return to the complete lack of it, when it could be readapted to be beneficial once more. And this itself is a beautiful principle; if everything was unlimited, then there would be no gauge of importance. We would all be the same people existing in the same possibility, devoid of that which makes us distinct beings; limitation. I find value in the fact that I must give one thing up to attain another, because only through that do I have a solid definition of myself through distinct and consequential choices. My actions are my own and I must live with them. Sorry to be rude about it, but if you leave a snarky comment, it's getting what you yourself brought to the situation. You could have explained your thinking in a nice, calm way, but instead chose to hurl an insult without any actual explanation to it at all. I would recommend not doing that in the future so that we can have a more understanding world
@@ProfessorViral Fascinating, your Ego is so large but your Self is so small! Does it really make sense to identify with "choices" that are tantamount to pepsi vs coke? Your limitations do not give you "free will", they're the products of literal eons of history, decided well before humanity. Does your idealism of "sacrifice" even make sense in a universe where everything decays naturally? To who or what exactly are you "proving" your individuality to besides yourself? Oh and why didn't japan just make sibyl "good" in the first place, are they stupid? 💀
For some reason, I find it easy to be vulnerable with strangers. I can say these things into space, but when I recorded them I needed the other person in the house to be wearing headphones so they couldn't hear. The thing that I really find fascinating is the ability to say these things one on one. I'm not trying to say the sentiment is invalid, just that that kind of vulnerability is a part of wider context, and we all have the ability to say certain words in certain situations; this is just my version
Bocchi the rock might just be my favorite anime that I never watched. HOLY SHIT Im 12 minutes into this and literally everything this girl is and does is shockingly similar to me, despite me being a fat 26 y/o weeb ass socially anxious nerd. It's...stark man, every scene feels like a personal callout. I wish I could meet a person like bocchi IRL so we can discuss how shit we are at socializing and share these experiences....then again I guess 2x bocchi would never meet each other to begin with. Also, I picked up guitar for the SAME REASON as Bocchi...and I tried teaching myself and lessons but I still suck at it 10 years later.
That's funny, I've gotten more than a handful of comments complaining about how fast I talk, so many people might say I physically do say 2 hours of words in 20 minutes lol
My favorite poem is Prayer for Loving Sorrow by Francis James I have nothing but my sorrow, and I have nothing more, it has been, it still is, faithful to me. Why should I begrudge it? Since during the hours when my soul crushed the depths of my heart, it was seated there beside me. Oh sorrow, i hand ended you see: be respecting you. Because i am certain you will never leave me. Ah! I realize it: your beauty lies in the force of your being. You are like those who never left the sad fireside corner of my poor black heart. Oh sorrow, you are better than a well beloved, because I know that in the day of my final agony, you will be there lying in my sheets, oh sorrow, so that you might once again attempt to enter my heart.
OH MY GOSH HIIII!!! I love binge watching your videos while i fight for my life on the toilet every morning. A little extra info about the poem that I think you might like is that I first heard the poem through the game Library of Ruina. The game takes place in Korean Cyberpunk and has a ton of moral philosophical questions and concepts that you are faced with as you retrieve all the light in the city like: Do those who scream at the top of their lungs "I want to die" really feel the same desire for death as those who take their life without saying a word? Do the lowest, most despicable and deprived Rats of this word deserve to be able to dream? What are the differences between sympathy, pity, and love? And woold you take a train that cold take you absolutely anywhere no matter how far in 15 seconds, only after you suffer what cold be up to 5 million years in another dimension where you cannot die or feel anything but your own thoughts only to have your memory erased and body put back together once you arrive at your destination? I really recommend the game espeically with your type of content!!
Makashima is acceptance as Sybil is complacency. acceptance, and complacency, maybe twins they look and sound the how for all their similarities are only at the surface, they can't be more different at the core.. complacency leads to stagnation and entropy.. acceptance leads to understanding and change... Gods and kings should be truly pitied
I would say that gods need no pity, but the best thing about the often compared to Psycho-Pass Ergo Proxy is that it can change someone's mind on that subject, and it did for me
I’ve loved watching ur channel. I often listen to them in the mornings as I open the bakery. And as someone struggling right now with everything going wrong. My therapist telling me to stop trying to rush past the bad. Constantly jumping from one endorphin spike to the next, or masking that everything is great to make everyone else happy draining myself emotionally. The title alone feels like I’m being targeted lol 😂 and I honestly can’t wait to listen to this one. ❤
It's actually very sweet to hear that I'm somewhat part of a routine like that. I have so many creators who've been that for me, so to know I can be that for other is truly validating 💙
Do you need help with a camera bro? I will fund you something to provide you 1080p at the very least. I will personally fund your camera because I love your content so much. You speak to a core level of me that I always fail to put into words.
@@ProfessorViral oh man I was wondering because you upload such good quality. There's no way you would sacrifice quality of an upload. Keep up the quality and good work!
Nichijou pic detected. That is such a interesting show. By the way psycho pass is very philosophical, to keep this short Watamote has a reference to the cyberpunk anime Ghost in The Shell where Tomoko imagines herself as a sexy assassin out to bust a cap in a politician.
