Art University Graduate Reacts to Blue Period | Expert Reaction | Netflix Anime 

That scene when he drew his mom made me cry. What great insight of how art changes perspective.

Tbh these feel too realistic, like hope, hype, and all spirit of motivated newbie at the beginning. Then the story progressed into more and more hardship being faced by yatora this lead to more twisted art perception that my smol brain can't comprehend anymore (especially when he starts going to college) yet presented in a great way. I often happy see yatora get new insight but this makes him realized another challenge appeared ahead. Overall this is a great series.

Can we have part 2 please! I want more insight from her, she basically knowS what she’s talking about. This was a really enjoyable watch from a non-artist viewer

As a former art student, I sometimes cry while I watch Blue Period. It's so good and heartfelt. It doesn't only represent art school stereotypes and info about the art world but it also delves deep inside the struggles, emotions, influences, and various paths of artists/designers when they enter the creative world/industry. And the best part, anyone can relate to the themes of the show whether you're an artist or not. They are universal and genuine. Really reflects one's journey in life as a whole esp when trying to discover oneself and reach goals. Kudos to the creators of both the manga and anime 💙 Can't wait for the next eps ✨ also, love the way she reviewed the show. Very insightful and concise 💖

I would love for her to review all the episodes if that is possible, her insight is so interesting.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="178">2:58</a> it's so amazing that there are people who already figured out what they want to be in the future at a very young age. I'm in my 20's but I have no idea what to do with my life. So I have huge respect for people like her. That is just so cool!

めちゃくちゃ生々しくて心揺さぶられます。よくぞこのオファーを受けてくださったなと、見ている側としては賞賛と感謝しかありません。石館さん、ありがとう。

We need more art animes like this Keep em comin🔥

Kudos to Netflix for this! I like how more people are now taking anime series/films w/a more serious perspective compared to my time (decades ago) when they kept calling it “cartoons.” Slice-of-life genre like Blue Period, Piano no Mori, Komi, Nodame no Cantabile, Gin no Saji, Hanasaku Iroha, Kono Oto Tomare etc. is my absolute favorite genre along w/isekai. They create a deep connection w/ us ordinary people who went through the same situations & feelings & being able to validate those feelings is truly cathartic ❤️

Ever since high school, I realized I enjoyed drawing a lot and put my sweat and blood while sitting on the carpet with a foldable chair as my desk. One day, I showed it to a "family member" who used to be a art director, and he totally pointed so many flaws and told me I had to draw like him if I am ever going to get a job. So, I threw away my dream and worked towards practicality. I studied hard at subjects even though I hated it deep inside, I learned how to be positive with Law of Attraction and positive mindset and exercise habits. I landed a job at IT now while meeting someone special. That special someone realized that I am not a IT person, but an artist. Now, at 26, I'm spending every ounce of my free time to make art as career, as I always wanted to do. It feels like I have much to catch up, but I think it's doable! TL;DR: Don't throw away you dream for practically (money), it will hurt you in the long run as it has done to me. I obeyed, and I threw myself away. I'm now trying to unlearn what I unwillingly forced myself to learn.

自分も絵を描いてるから、なんというか･･･言葉にできないふわっとした感情を矢虎が言葉にしてくれる感じ。見るとすぐ泣いてしまう。

blue period man, it's a series that really hurts. it tackles the problem that artists have always faced, but especially in the modern age. it's still hard to be an artist and to profit from it. art can be applied in many ways, but to just go to art school to be an artist is SUPER vague. and man blue period just gets so real in depicted thing strained relationships between the artists and art for all of the characters. it was so raw and unfiltered, man it makes you really understand if you aren't an artist

As a Professional artist, I really enjoyed this series. Looking forward to another season. Doing art as your career isn't for everyone. Not everyone can take the thing they love to do and turn it into a job. For some artists turning their passion into a job ruins it for them.

As a non-artist, I really cherished the time I spent watching Blue Period. It allowed me to understand on a surface level the hardships and struggles of artists. I also loved the anime highlighting the quote "Just because you love making art it doesn't mean things will go your way" something like that (I forgot what episode Yatora told this).

ブルーピリオドのシーズン2も待ち遠しいけど、この人のリアクション動画もまた上げて欲しい。

Now i want a yakuza to react to way of the household husband

this anime made me cry so hard. i'm in fine arts university and it was a huge struggle to get in...and now it's even more of a struggle to go through each year of uni. my mental health is shit and being an art student is 100% NOT a good combo. and to top it all off, i can't even be sure of what i'll do with my future. i'm trying to become a content creator and i'm also currently writing a comic which i am planning to ilustrate as well. the life of an artist is so stressful and unsure. even when you achieve those goals like getting into art university, or selling your first painting, or taking part in your first art exhibition, it's always the fear of what you'll do with your future and your abilities as an artist.

I'm definitely very early in my art progess, so I can't comment on the school aspect, but as it relates to the mindset of the characters in blue period, you know, the way they look at art and think about it. The realizations of Yatora as well as the mental health aspect are very accurate. In that sense I can say it is a very accurate depiction of artists. Gonna watch episode 12 today, This show was amazing, I'd love a season 2

I’m an architecture first semester student and the manga caught my attention before I started, and the anime came out exactly when I started, and I have been able to relate sooo much even though I am still studying something very different and also not in Japan, so for everyone doing something in the arts or just something that requires creativeness you will be able to relate

You remember when we gave crunchyroll our money and were told some of it went towards Japanese studios, I would of been happy as hell if Blue Period was the product of that money and clips like this of having a Japanese artist actually comment on the show be bonus material. Well done Netflix. 👏 With Castlevania, Komi, the Ghibli Movies, keep it up.

She should also read the manga

bring her back! make her watch the whole thing lol

As a graduate illustration major, this anime came at the right time for me who is personally overhauling their entire portfoilo. Whilst looking for industry work. I'm glad this came out, I could've used this as a gateway when i was in highschool. I hope we get more animes about college and graduates going about trials and tribulations of their art careers.

Been looking for a legit reactor for this anime and i finally found one. More insights from her please!

I'm an animation student and I relate so much to Blue Period's story. I also started from zero like Yaguchi and had to work my way into college and it was the most challenging thing I've ever done so far. I do hope they keep making this anime. The manga is fantastic.

この方のリアクションは、凄く柔らかくて表現豊かでめっちゃ好きです！

学部迷ってるも含めてリュウジのは 伏線だったのか すご

The anime if good but the manga is 1000000x better. Tsubasa Yamaguchi is a genius. You can really feel the ml's frustration or when he's so happy. Thank you Netflix for producing this anime.

Little did they kno, who tought that art or design are the most needed nowadays with the growth of technology and such. I used to "gossip" with my friend during our freshman year that we actually wanna took design school but bcs of the tuition and "future" worries, we decided to take different path 🙃 Either way, there's always obstacles in whatever path we take.

blue period is my most cherished anime :( i really want to pursue art but i can't so almost every scene makes me emotional and makes me overthink about my life. i really related to her saying keeping art as an hobby is an entirely different thing and it being insane

Would love to hear her insight on the entrance exam or prep school. As a college art student, Blue period really resonates with me especially when it comes to creating an art with a purpose. Though, Yatora is a fine arts major and I'm leaning more towards graphic design, it's all the same. You have to make a work with good composition as well as a compelling story. It's a struggle to birth out ideas every week only for it to be shut down by your professors. I remember we need to create 100 logos and symbols (+sketches and a term essay) in 2 weeks and getting harsh criticism from this one professor of mine. I've cried a few times watching the show because I've heard words I really wanted to hear lmao. Having to finally understand and relate to what an main character is going through (insecurities, physical health declining, and mental burnout) really helped me a lot. Since then I've been trying my best to create art every day.

havent graduate but i am majoring in art rn, I can say everything is spot on except maybe im not as dedicated and intense as the characters in this series and im kinda ashamed by it ngl.

Absolutely loved the first season of this and I hope we can see how Yaguchi's journey unfolds even more. It had lots of sensibility, emotion and real struggles 🤍

こういう動画すごく好きです！！またこんな動画が見たいです！！！

As an art student from Latin America, I related so much to this anime. 🥺💕🥴 I hope the next season comes soon. ✨

めっちゃ面白いからまた動画作って欲しい、！

個人也相當喜歡這部作品，它講評的部分是主角進美大之前的準備過程跟心境，但真的進入美大之後的煩惱跟衝擊才是真正讓同樣是美大的人感到共鳴的，描寫的真的十分確實，有些痛苦的過程真的是感同身受。

I love this anime. The way it portray the life of a students struggling to decide what he really want to be. It's not only in art side but in general. How you choose your path, learning new skills and discovering something new about yourself while struggling to get there. I hope many students nowadays could watch this anime to inspire them.

Haven't watched the anime but I do read the manga. I'm so glad I discovered this diamond

PART 2 PLEASE I NEED MORE OF HER!!!! (or other art graduates are also welcome)

i watched this anime by chance bc i was bored and i hold this dear to my heart. it depicts cold reality but at the same time gives u a hopeful idealistic feeling yet its borderline depressing. i love it eventho i’m not an artistic person but the feels it give off is universal kudos to the team

I'm also a student of Fine Art University. Luckily, I have a happy time while studying there. Watching this interview make me feel like a reel of beautiful memories go through my mind ! Thanks for making this video !

この女性声のトーンが落ち着いてるし聞きやすくて癒される声をしている！笑顔も素敵😊

我也是台藝大的畢業生，高職畢業後先讀學分班熟悉大學課程和修學分，修滿學分再考在職專班，我想多少是靠學科拉分吧！不然我真的不知道我的術科怎麼過關的。我的石膏像也是畫的奇差無比，大家的作品擺出來各個都是高手，打擊超大。這動畫我還不敢看，怕那些回憶會湧上心頭

看完影片 我覺得學藝術的人好偉大 因為動畫漫畫遊戲繪畫太多了 不太會去注意細節 就是覺得畫得很好看 沒想到有很多專業知識跟心血在裡面 這樣看來藝術的價值不會輸給理工科學等

裡面每個人物都刻畫得很有真實感，真紀沒考過的時候，真的很替她揪心，眼淚都掉出來了😢 希望可以看到藍色時期第二季啊！實在太精采了！ 好想知道八虎後面會不會捕獲森學姐

Yeahh I agree with her opinion, I started to know art more deeply and pursue it since I saw this blue period anime...Stories from the Blue period are closely related to everyday life, how the point of view of people who don't know about art, the difficulty of learning art, it's expensive for an art school and its equipment, and how do you make money from art. I hope the blue period anime gets season 2

I'm a self-taught artists so I don't think i have much say but it makes me happy cause i find that the struggles and emotions that i feel when i hone my art ard valid that it's not only me it made me wanna cry . My favorite was when he got shocked by the really good art i get easily discouraged and I beat my self alot for it makes me think that I'm shallow and not putting alot of work in so seeing that sort emotion is valid lifted some weight off my shoulders.

The moment when you have made it to the uni after months of entrance preparation "no what?" Finding a calling and goal all over again, this feeling was depicted wonderfully.

真的很喜歡這種專家點評!石館波子老師的表達很生動、反應也很可愛(好喜歡她笑起來的感覺@W@) 我很喜歡藍色時期這部作品。我是喜歡畫畫但沒去過畫室，目前學設計專業 真的踏入設計圈後發現「設計系」和專門研究平面設計或美術系真的有很大的 這部作品真的會讓人血液奔湧著 想飛出去心無旁騖的跟著主角一起畫畫...QQQ

Japanese art school seems a lot harder to get in than in the US...I went to Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) and the acceptance rate is around 30%. However, tuition is sooo expensive 😭Paying just 4k per year would be a dream! As this person said, going to art school is mostly about the environment, seeing your peers' work, and making connections. I can't say it's worth the price to be honest though

語っている方のボキャブラリーとか眺め方が、普段私の周りにはいない感じで、新鮮で凄くよかった

I would’ve loved to have seen her portfolio!

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="378">6:18</a> "Just leave your passion as a hobby" That's exactly what my family always said to me when i tried to took interest in art major 😀

I love her feedback and vibe. If she can review the middle episodes towards the end that would be great. I went to art school for 5 years and I 100% agree that art school is for self discovery and expanding your knowledge and skills. My art school was kind of useless but I taught myself digital art and others things because they had the equipment and resources. I only spent money on a drawing computer when I developed the interest of wanting to animate or draw digital art. BUT its not to help you find a job or get a job offer. My art school was shut down due to fraudulent activity, but the environment and the wide perspective it offered me, I will never forget.

I religiously watch Blue period because I didn't choose going into art stream when I had the choice, so I try to experience art school through this anime. It made me want to pursue painting even if I didn't go to college.

Blue period inspired me to reach my creative outlet again. Since I was a kid, I was encouraged to sketch and draw then I was interested in painting, then expanded to native beadwork and sewing. I gave up all of that for writing and now I hold this anime to my heart as I try to dive back into it. It’s a hobby to me, but to see passion and making it your life like Yatora did gives me hope. - czarina

Siempre la escena de yatora y su madre hace que me ponga a llorar no importa en que formato 😢😢excelente reacción y precioso anime💓

Love him so much the M. yatora…the manga and even having an actual artist react to it

藍色時期真的意外地很好看 就算不是美術相關的人也能看得懂 再加上裡面的角色不會有彆扭的戀愛情節(硬是把好幾個人牽在一起之類的) 很喜歡這部作品~~校友的反應也好可愛🥰

Blue period is some real quality anime

I cried a lot watching blue period :")) I also found it very insightful and it feels very close to home.

As a musician myself, there is so much I can learn from this lol

Fun fact: The author of blue period (yamaguchi tsubasa) is a graduated tua student

yes, this is what im looking for .. this kind of videos can make this anime getting more popular

Blue period was literally a masterpiece

2nd year illustration student here and blue period gets certain things bang on, like mental health and motivation wise. can’t comment on selection process as i’m studying in the uk :)

The mangaka was actually a graduate from Tokyo University of the Arts

I really thank Netflix for bringing this anime, it was such a pleasure watch it. The deep emotions it gave me I won't forget. It's so relatable and accurate to see, thank you.😔💕

I'm glad to know it's actually pretty accurate to how it feels being an art students, cause I used to be interested in drawing and painting but quickly dropped it after realizing how much effort it took for just one piece of art, so I respect any artist in any form of art for putting much effort in their arts, now I can kind of experience what it would be like if I didn't drop it through this anime

真的很喜歡這部 雖然是設計系不是美術系 但很多點都會覺得很有共鳴

I want her to react to the entire series now 😭😭

この人のリアクションの続きも見たいな

Hagan una 2 temporada pero que sea lo más fiel al manga 🙏 Esta obra vale millones no lo opaquen cortando o salteando escenas.

I’m going to Art Uni next year and I was really worried I’d be worse than everyone else as I always put myself down when I see other’s work, but Yaguchi’s current drawings make me feel more confident in myself 😂😂 yet at the same time seeing that he drew more than 30 observational drawings within a short time span made me realise I was barely doing enough, so though I’m still around the 3rd episode, the anime has honestly been one of the most motivating things that caused me to draw more, and feel more confident that I’ll be able to improve my skills before school starts 🥰 But in general I love that this anime exists! I’ve never felt so understood before and though I felt the part about the mother’s hands was so cheesy, it still hit me pretty hard 😩😩

Gran análisis hermoso trabajo Netflix 👌

この美大生のふるまいめっちゃ好きｗ

I loved this anime, It was very realistic, Even though I graduated art school in the US, there was still so much to relate to. The scene with him drawing his mother was super real. Allot of my early art training was to learn “to draw what you see, not what you think you see”. This involve looking at something for 15 seconds, then drawing that object only looking at the paper. Then after one minute you were allowed to get another 15 second glimpse are the object, and draw only focusing on the paper again. At the end of the semester it was draw for 3 minutes, glance at the object for 5 seconds. It takes two seconds for your eyes to adjust, so the 5 second glances actually were just 3 seconds. The end result is you get really good noticing details in the object you are drawing quickly, , and are able to accurately draw that. After that skill is developed, and you use it to draw a loved one, you notice so many things you never noticed, a scar from their childhood, lines in there face, and many other things, people don’t notice. That scene with his mom hit pretty hard, because I had experienced similar things drawing people.

Super interesting! Loved the video 🥰

From stories I've heard from friends who went to high ranked art schools, their experiences make my "top rated in the country" engineering school look like an absolute stroll. The physical, mental, and emotional resilience you need to survive at those places is incredible.

Eu sou graduanda em artes visuais e me senti muito representada, é uma obra prima, literalmente!

i wanted to hear more about the latter part of Blue Period, like the exam arc. it was so so tense and stress-inducing! but i guess, that would be spoilers for others? anyway, good video, Blue Period was a great anime,, got various insights about Art and drawing from this anime) would love to see season 2 in a couple of years)

I really want to see more of her! please make a part 2!!

I loved this format and her commentary was lovely! I couldn't go to art school when I was a teenager as my parents where scared for my professional future (so sad!) but I'm still passioned about drawing and art in general. I'll watch Blue Period for sure!

私は韓国人なんですけど、やっぱどの国でも似ているんですね…。ㅠㅠじつは後にRISDと言うアメリカの美術大学へ留学行きたいんですけど、外国人なので奨学金を貰えないのに学費が高いから本当に心配です…。😢

I'm graduated from fine art major and still don't want to continue reading this manga, IDK IT FEELS SO REALISTIC ITS HURTS

"Imagine how great it must be to watch anime without any subtitles at all."

i'll deff watch this, when i'm not lazy lol this was very insightful! more of this!!! i've heard many insightful tips from many creators to the "just leave your passion as a hobby" many youtubers, streamers and all sorts get burnt out as they have those as a job to see it differently for not so good ways and force to stream, make a video which isn't good.

I love the anime! I hope to see a new season soon.

身為創作者的人，觀看這部動畫真會有很多共鳴，甚至有些地方會帶給我穿透性的點明，有這部作品存在，就好比在透露我，這個世界原來還是有善解人意的一面。

as a final year student on industrial design department, i can understand and relate to this series way too much, it scares me sometimes. i feel what Yatora feel 10000% whenever he found or try something new, having that anxiety to produce a new art/design, etc. i went through all that (except the prep school cz i dont have enough money) and i can confidently say that this series is pretty much how we art or design students felt everytime. Yatora is just so me (damn)

I bawled at that scene about the mom's hand it's so weird to see other's reactions

3浪か4浪まで普通と言いたら、現役で藝大受かった八虎は完全に化け物。

看著看著就想哭.... 幾乎遺忘的初衷再次被喚醒

I hope there's a second season. The next events in his life are prettt dope

ฉันชอบมาก เรื่องลูกรักที่สุดเท่าที่ดูมา ยิ่งดูก็รู้สึกว่ายาโทระเหมือนเราทุกๆคนั้งที่ดูเลย เข้าใจความรู้สึกสุดๆ

I hope there will be a season 2 of Blue Period😍

Please I love her have her reaction for the whole season 😍

I would love to see a follow up of this! Blue period is such an insightful series

Damn, I learned through self-teaching to reach my style, but people who go through academic years have to go through a lot. Nice vid.
