Some time around 2021, I stumbled upon this show. I was in a bad place, but was finding my way out of it. Part of that process was figuring out what is and is not within my ability to do and to change. When I watched this show, I immediately saw myself in Aoi and it scared me. I saw myself in Mamiko and knew exactly how frustrated she was. I'd set down my flute for about a year, and hadn't played in ensemble since before COVID. This show got me to understand that I don't need to justify my musicianship as anything other than something I love. I likely won't ever practice music as a career, I have skills attached to more stable and lucrative careers than that of a professional musician. Even so, I've kept performing in university band and, once I leave university this year, I will join a community band wherever I happen to find employment. I won't resign myself to the loss of musical joy, because it is within my ability to reclaim it. I won't deny myself the joy of ensemble out of some sense that it doesn't matter, because it does. It matters because I like the flute.
Yo la vdd, no se por que empece a ver este anime, siempre supe que era de kyoani, pero no le ponia suficiente atencion, pero aqui estoy, una semana luego, estando al dia, sin saber por que, sin saber por que es quiero seguir viendo este anime, por que me agradan y desagradan ciertos personajes, por que siento que no me termina de gustar (aunque si lo hace), pero viendo el video, tal vez aclaro algunas de las cosas que no podia poner en palabras
Omg i've rewatched this vid so many times, and each time my love for mob psycho grows. Cuz i feel like every time I rewatch this video I learn something new about Reigen and Mob. Ty so much for making this!
I'm inexperienced in many things I do and can only convey my thoughts simply. Nevertheless, I thought your video and the script you made is extremely well written. Few times do I connect with unique videos, and this video does exactly that. I appreciate you for sharing your thoughts, reflections, and analysis of yourself and the show. It was a wonderful experience to listen to, both your discussion and the music you included. I see this video as something spectacular and unique. The creation process for this video must've taken a long time, and I really appreciate that. Thank you...
The video is an absolute masterpiece, especially the ending. If anyone sees this, never forget who you are and what you love. Sometimes sacrificing what you love for survival is necessary, but don't ever give up on it... Ever.
It's been a while since a video essay made me tear up, amazing job on the video and breaking down not just this amazing show, but also Reigen. I feel there's a lot to take away from him as a character and you put that into words beautifully
I like the art style. It reminds me of rubber hose era cartoons except with somewhat “realistic proportions. I feel like that style is rarely seen these days and every tries to go realistic or cartoony, but rarely in the middle
It's now been three years since this video has released but the final season of Sound!Euphonium is being aired and every single video on this show always brings me to tears. I'm grateful to see that there's other people who feel the same way about the show as I do, even if my feelings may be diluted because I was never in band in high school. So thank you. Thank you for putting your feelings about this show into the words that I cannot write for myself.
I was forced into band when I was in Middle School and my freshman year of high school (I’m a senior now) and this show has made me remember all the good, bad, and neutral feelings I felt and more. I also relate more to it now that I’m in choir because a lot of the things that happen in the show still happen in choir as well. This is probably my favorite show ever and I thank you for making this incredible video. Much love ❤❤
The music really stood out to me immediately. As the show goes on, everything else is absolutely incredible as well. But damn, the music really heightens the experience.
When a show actually makes you care for a character who works as a con man, you know that it's a good one. I really like stories that make GOOD subversions (notice that I put emphasis on good, because not every subversion is good). Reigen's job is dishonorable, but he is good at heart.
Something I’ve thought about is that l pure skill and abilities is overrated. As great as it is to have the skills to reliably get to a certain position in life, people with non of those skills and abilities still achieve them and do great things as a result. Life is a flow, and your path isn’t predictable. It’s ok to be at a level which you know you are actually equal to, and it’s also ok to accept that you didn’t get there on purpose or because you had the skills. Sometimes, it’s best to enjoy your fortunes while they last instead of dwelling on them. Life as gifted and to you, don’t forsake it just because you don’t think you deserve it.
I didn't play in a band or a school team of any kind, i didn't get to hang out with friends that much and for me that's what make this show difficult to watch
There are weird exceptions to music theory. Look up an analysis of 13th Struggle from Kingdom Hearts II. Like the music for Re:Zero it intentionally manipulates the listener's emotions to get them into a certain mindset appropriate for a given moment.
I really love good media. I havent watched much, but i always seem to watch th best of it all. I watch somthing and i cant stop thinking about it for like years. in a way it prevents me from watching other movies/media, but the good once just stay stuck in your head
i admit i cried. I havent been in a band before so i cant understand your feelings. But at least i can understand these "fleeting" moments. Doing something because you like it. Its not a means to an end. Its not about productive. I used to play basketball in junior highschool. Im not good. I cant do layup properly. But it is fun. But my parents told me to stop because it disturb my study. So i stopped. And thats it. I dont really like playing basketball anymore. But when i play, talk with friends, drink water after training, its so fun. And i dont regret that. Such fleeting moments. Im in college rn and theres no substitute for that moment. Thank you good sir.
