FLCL - "They're Fake" 

Glad you feel like I could do that

Ninamori's arc is wonderful and so is she. I'm glad you could connect with the video and her.

pitiful, i will live for 38 more years and die absolutely alone and proud of it

Well that’s the hedgehog dilemma. I quite often isolated myself too and i am well aware that’s not really the right thing to do but being with others often makes me feel very lonely and hopeless.

Human connection is good, but making connection with the wrong person could be negatively influences your life.

I can't seem to find anybody to connect to, all I ever find are really weird people that have intense personality and mental issues. Or I end up with sociopathic jerks that just want to use me and treat me like garbage. I can never find just a "normal" person that just wants to hang out and share the same interests as me and has no ulterior motives. After so many bad experiences I just end up in isolation with the only socializing coming from some very distant family members over social media or strangers on anonymous message boards. Maybe I'm lucky, some people probably don't even have that.

Glad you liked it so much man. I appreciate all the kind words. Ninamori needs more recognition. I love her haha

Forreal

i have never ever seen a comment that sums up my situation so specifically

just like me fr

Yeah, even though FLCL is definitely highly regarded, I think it is still massively under-rated.

Yes add her 100 times. She is all things good in the world. Glad the video lived up to some expectation

Miguela? Dont you mean michelle? Lol

thanks for sharing. The glasses/contacts metaphor is really unique and interesting and it is cool to see people relate to it. They really did a good job with it. Best of luck to you!

I feel the same. I hid inside my jacket and took the baffles out the exhaust on my bike so that way if I wanted I could "have to be somewhere" and nobody would bother trying to talk to me on my way out because the noise would drown out the words. (Use the warm up period on the bike to decompress instead of keeping up the façade) Some big hairy harley bros got me out of the shell and now I'm comfortable with myself. I still wear the confederate flag around my face because bugs hurt like hell, and I'm still alone for the most part. But at least I'm happy to be me. I believe I share your sentiment, to an extent.

hey thanks man, hope I won't let you down.

It is really an underrated aspect of the show I think. There is so much depth when people look just a little closer

Yeah man FLCL has a lot of really nuanced stuff. It's a shame imo that it gets labeled with the "turn your brain off" stigma, when there's a lot there. I'm glad you could take something from the video, and thanks for sharing your thoughts on people, the show, and everything in between.

We can dream

@@HidinginPublic yeah they do. She learned true maturity just like Naota does. Plus I imagine Naota finally realized Ninamori rigged the votes because she likes him and wants to start something with him, but he was too concerned about his ears thinking it was to humiliate him. Not only that she's the only girl Naota knows who is Anne and acts just like them. I love their first accidental kiss and headbutt. Aldo notice after Haruko saves her from the Medical Mechanica attached to her head, Naota decides to play Puss in boots for her despite the chaos. Besides I think his confession to Haruko was only a thank you to her for helping him realize he does need to grow up. Then the Epilogue shows hes not embarrassed to be Alone with Ninamori anymore, meaning hes probably thinks "who cares what others say about us, maybe I could give this girl a chance" Ninamori and Naota are so similar its adorable. They are perfect for each other.

I’m like 78% sure they did- there were a lot of hints between the two of them.

Well about that... Have you perhaps read the manga?

@@MillyKKitty Theres a mAnGa??

I'm glad it got into your recommended as well. I'm glad you enjoyed it and thank you! I'll try my best!

You have the right opinion! Ninamori is the best, I love the amount of Ninamori love this video is garnering. Thanks for watching man.

Thanks man. Yeah I feel like Ninamori needs more love. She is often looked over but I think is super important to the story. Glad you found the video and enjoyed it!

Hiding in Public she is definitely overlooked, despite having such a large role to play in the mid section of the show. Could be because the themes/issues she represents are a bit harder to understand/recognise in ourselves. Mamimi on the other hand is a reflection of something everyone has done: emotionally abusing and using others to fill a hole in our hearts.

I love you

I've got my big guns under wraps. Glad you liked the video. Ninamori is wonderful

Hey man that's a huge compliment. I love Eyepatch Wolf (I'm one of his patrons) so being in the same box as him means a lot.

That is so awesome dude. Bless you brother.

When you find the right person, friendship or romantic, the effort won't feel like effort anymore. When you get a feel for someone you spend time with the real you slips out more and more whether you realize it or not, you leave yourself vulnerable. The road splits from there, they can either accept you for you and run with you, or they don't relate and the limits of your relationship have been reached. Not a bad thing, some people aren't meant to be in your life to the degree that others will. I'm a weird and complex dude for example. I'm the loudest introvert you've probably ever met and it throws people off. I'm always invited to hangout and go drinking or party with aquintences but it's the farthest thing I want to do. My fake self is the beaming people's person that everyone wants to be around, when all I wanna do is sit with someone under the stars and talk about our lives. The people who don't understand me and get upset when I don't want to go out and do things I don't like stay aquintences, and the people who understand how I feel are the ones I'll give my life for. I spent a literal 2 years of my life in almost total isolation and it was a blessing and a curse. I learned so much about myself and fixed a lot of mental issues I was fighting with but it came at the price of a lot of friendships. Well fake friendships, the people who really cared for me waited for me to emerge and rejoin the world. Guess what I'm getting at is I can relate to what you are saying and maybe you can relate to what I'm speaking. Either way you've got my sub!

Thanks man, I appreciate it

Very nice! Always good to surpass expectation.

Thank you, happy to hear

thanks a lot man, i'm glad you thought so. Hope I can provide something interesting in the future.

Thank you! I just really love her as a character and she needs more attention.

Glad I surpassed your expectations. thanks

Awesome! That's all I could ask for!

Thanks man, I hope you do

You should definitely watch FLCL. Most of what I talk about is in episode 3 for Ninamori's arc. It's got good reputation for good reason.

Always. Do it for Ninamori

Thanks man I super appreciate it. I enjoy making them.

Thanks, I'm glad you think so

Yes! Ninamori is a wonderful character I love her. also glad to have you on board for the sub man. Hope I can continue to create stuff you enjoy.

( U w U) I hope to stick around for a long time too, thanx for the great content

Thanks man, any support helps. Ninamori needs to be discussed more.

I've worked lots of part time jobs in the past, but I am so busy I actually may have to choose between one or the other. I just thought this would be the best way to continue moving forward. Glad you liked the video. I didn't expect it to reach as many people as it did, so thanks for watching till the end!

Run away while you can!

I forgot to add: I felt the fake glasses part was an example of physiognomy- that her fake glasses showed that she was in some respects fake, but I didn't catch that her glasses earlier were real and that, like you said, the fake glasses were part of her maturity/prudence.

Asuka

@@sir_greendown that answers no questions. What does asuka have to do with Soviet Russia?

There's a lot of possible explanations 1. It was trendy at the time/looks cool 2. The USSR consistently projected success and hid its underlying faults/turmoil before it broke 3. She rigged the election 4. She's rebelling against the adults yet still wants to be an adult (parallels to USSR's conflict with the West) 5. (The most likely) Atomsk comes from a novel about the Cold War. Ninamori's dad is directly involved in trying to capture Atomsk ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-LXO4A0-vKf8.html

@@kenshin1368 The symbolism of the Iron Curtain as it relates to Ninamori allowing others to see some of her faults as the stage curtain is drawn is so good.

@@sir_greendown NGE Asuka?

Thanks, I'm glad

Yes brother

fbi open up

FBI open up

thankya

Few media will ever reach it

Sometimes it is hard to get used to talking to other people. They are a largely unreliable, and that can be anxiety inducing. If you are really content not talking to others that may be fine, but if you wish you could connect more please don't give up. Even if it's just someone on the internet, there are people out there who can relate and understand your struggle and connections can be made that way. Don't sell yourself too short, I wish you the best of luck man :)

Thank you

I'll have to check it out.

Me too, I love her character
