Man, I just gotta take some time out of my day to commend your work and dedication. Now that I'm finally in vacations, I've been listening to these videos while doing stuff, and they're incredible. The monogatari inspired editing, the choice of soundtrack, and your narration are all incredibly good, and they've made me appreciate the Monogatari Series a whole lot more. As for this video, I also wanted to thank you for inspiring me as a writer. It's very commendable to want to write for yourself and for you to want what you write to be the pure embodiment of your essence as a human being. I might take after you on this, because after all, for me, what matters the most is not the views or the money, but for one's work to reflect who they are as a person. All in all, I can tell you're a great dude, and I'm amazed at your analytical abilities. Keep doing what you love!
absurd to think that nisioisin's best work was done in his free time between jobs, this is what makes bakemonogatari so special and the best arc of the series which made me passionate about the monogatari series
Yo brother I’ll be waiting for your analysis on Baki prisoners arch. Haven’t seen anyone talk about baki the way you do and it will be insightful to hear what you say. Respect the analytical skills you possess.
This analysis makes me cry, there were things I did not remeber from monogatari series and I was looking for kambaru suruga content becaise I need to write something about her, I did not expect reah here and remembering why this series is so special and ending crying
I hope you do a small video comedy thing Just go to the store, buy a item that you remember form the stories and then do a video showing stuff you bought while out with dramatic music as the video focuses from ken object to another to fit the reference Tooth brush: requiem for a dream, doom music or silent hill ‘never forget me never forgive me’ playing. It would be a April fools video that nobody outside of the series would fully catch. Or do a video of having your blood drawn and have it censored because we know they vampires and feeding = intercourse … which makes me now wonder if donating blood is something lewd for vampires? Imagine some perverted vamp going throughout the world telling people to stick blood into other people via sharp stuff- blood oaths and packs but to him he just is a pervert that gets off. Then they vampire finds out that mixing blood form people isn’t lethal and that is how blood transplants was found as a medical cure. That needs to be a canon thing for a series- just perverted monsters taking advantage of humans and finding out world changing and life changing things. Werewolf finds a helpless lady almost frozen to death… takes advantage Humans: ‘oh hey furry things are warm and can save your life, oh hey that doggo looks like the thing that raped me I better keep it so I don’t freeze to death’ 2000 years later: still a thing they do, minus keeping doggos to stay warm. We all know the memes. Giant serpent: ‘you can’t escape I have your village surrounded by my coils’ Villagers: ‘hmmm, if we can get the snake or something like it to stay then nobody can hurt us…’ - how walls are invented
Great, getting past our little monsters! I personally don't like reading the series's afterwards as straight forward as imo it does turn into more of Nisio's shenanigans and tomfoolery but yes there is definitely truth to them as it connects to other Nisio accounts such as interviews. (I can go on forever about them) They tend to be quite hyperbolic, the guy is no joke and at the same time the biggest joke and that makes him such a damn funny writer. One thing is for sure however... he is a living example of “There may be nothing cooler than someone who can stand tall as a living example of this idea [of having your hobby as your work or your work as your hobby].” and he is exactly right, there is nothing cooler. I highly recommend you read Tsukihi Endless (google monogatari translation project into max's master post), the last short story (for now) which came with the end of the Bakemonogatari Manga (which as you may know came with the birth of Ikusa releasing). You'd be happy to see Nisio's thoughts of what Bake is. (It is the most meta short story like no other. Has production history if you don't already know about it's pre-serialize days) (There is also a Nisio interview around the time of the nonsense communication movie video which he speaks to his direction of the series, which as we see is a new season. To summarize, it is to ground the series back to "reality," like of bake. How fun.)
Yeah it’s a shame the views aren’t there but, as you said might just be interest, as long as the people that do watch them enjoy them though I’ll be happy
