KAGEROU PROJECT 101: A Journey Through Haze 

As any kagepro character would say: aw shit, here we go again

50 minutes in and turns out you were talking about the manga and not the novels, what a twist

"So what Shintaro does is that he goes home and kills himself, but WAIT, he does this on purpose."

"Following the Kagerou Project took 10 years off my life expectancy."

Watching the window shift from day to night is the funniest thing

I just imagine mary saying "its rewind time"everytime

Top 10 JINsteries Scientists still can't answer.

Professor peeking in the classroom : “Oh look at these two studious students, they did a private class together to prepare for their test. Such model students” The subject they are studying :

My new favorite way to answer anyone is to dramatically write the word jin and point at it

Who else would sign up for vocaloid history classes if it was actually a thing. Cause I would!

Before I watch this are you telling me Will will sit through the entire two hours getting learned

It's about time Will learns the KagePro story! Singing Jin's songs without actually knowing is amazing lololol

i cant believe i just sat in bed for 2 hours without a break watching will stetson sit at a desk for 2 hours listening to this man explaining kagerou project for 2 hours but it was worth it. never was able to understand kagepro because i only listened to some of the music and watched the anime without any knowledge of the actual story but now i'm so happy that i know what's going on

ME: *turn on subtitles* subtitles: "JIM, also known as she's at no tech EP"

Forcing me to go to school for the first time in 3 1/2 years

I wish KAG-815 was a class at my uni omg, I’d take it in a heartbeat.

You should take this around as an anime convention panel. I'd listen to it at one.

The fact that this is 2 hours long is just...wow👏 Perfect for a kagepro cinematic universe

Am I the only one who was too lazy to go to the manga, novels and songs after the anime and went here thinking they would know everything after? This video was a real hard pill to swallow, but I think it was very concise considering how much content there is in the series, and I feel like I understand the gist of the main story much better after this. Hopefully I’ll have the patience to listen to all the songs, perhaps even the manga and novels. I’ll never know for sure though...

"at least in this timeline..." This.... WHAT? "forget i said anything"

If you look at the window in the back you'll see the light slowly turning into dark outside as presumably the sun sets .....but still, the lecture goes on.

Where is this university professor? I think I need to transfer here to complete my degree on the History of the Kagerou Project

Oh my Azami

I have 24 min left and it just hit me that Hibiya and Hiyori has it worst when it comes to being stuck in a time loop. Because they each are in their own loop, which consists of decades worth of time only for Hibia to be spat out of the Daze into yet *another* loop. And this second loop causes him and Hiyori to be shoved back into the Daze, back into the first loop, and this happens every time the loop starts over again outside of the Kagerou Daze.

I love how you can physically see the sun set as the lecture goes on.

It was Jin all along Dark matter-Jin Big Bang - jin Placebo effect-Jin This man is a genius

It goes from day to night in the background.....damn!

Wait I just realized That's Will in the students desk right Finally it's time this boy learned what he was singing about THANK YOU DAVE

Yes in class early! Hopefully noone fails on the Kagepro test! Let's Daze!

Well uhm, this lecture gave me way more confidence because now I know "Oh I guess those small questions I had never really get answered."

The only education I know and trust

J I N S T E R Y

I WONT STAND FOR THIS HIBIYA OPPRESSION

dogs count as people because azami considers animals people

i cant count how many times i have done this to my friends, thanks to this video now i only have to provide the link and then strap them to a chair and force them to watch it.

I finished to read the manga/watch the anime and listen the songs ~3 months ago. I have a really bad karma watching this video only now while 3 months ago for several months I tried to understand what happening 😅😅 anyway excellent video :)

I have a theory on why the Kagerou Daze breaks the rule of "bring those two people who are dying on 08/15" the reason is because Azami lost her core she can't control the world well enough to mantain her order so it does not matter if a dog, three people, one person dies on 08/15 the world will get them and give one them one of Azami's powers if fits them, at least that's what i made up to kinda fix the plot and for me it kinda makes sense

i love this video so much. every time i gain a new obscure interest i get a strong STRONG urge to teach my friends the entire lore/ timeline/ general info about it. this encapsulates that enthusiasm perfectly and just makes me so happy

1 hours into the video "I've used this marker for like 20 minutes"

The perfect birthday gift for a kagepro fan. This is the third(?) time you have summarized the project, maybe this time is your Summertime Record, and you won't have to make another summary.

To this day, I still cannot figure out why best boy Kano sucks 39:44

I knew there was more to this lecture. Thanks for the lecture teach

Everyone needed this lecture honestly, even I needed it

I was thinking you were in a convention or school explaining all this lol

Will Stenson is here? Lol.

1:09:28 Will: I’m angry because this is so convoluted, this doesn’t make any sense Me, a kingdom hearts fan: first time?

I've gotten my gf into it after being a fan for like five years and this is me explaining stuff p much haha. (We've finished most manga and songs and we're readin novels its a blast lmao. Her faves are Ene, Kido and Haruka, godtier taste)

it gives me very slight ocd that Hibiya and Hiyori are listed as no9 and Konoha as no8 lmao

im watching this today because there's haze outside :D

Oh dear.

i just love how he explains this maze of a story just as it slowly gets dark outside, in my room and theirs

I had no idea there was Novels/Manga/Anime till I read the comments, just thought this was about the vocaloid songs, oh man ...

My Mum asked me what the Kagerou Project was about so I showed her this She's now a fan lmao Well done this lecture is excellent 👍

Most of the "jinsteries" you mentioned are actually somewhat explained and have explanations, you just kinda forgot about it

I still have about 40 Minutes left, but this is awesome!

*He is a man of focus, commitment, and sheer fucking will.*

I didn't need sleep anyway

I needed this. Thank you so much

Do I already know everything in this video? yes. Did I still watch the video and write pages of notes? Yes

So I just spent three hours taking notes on all of this I am very happy with myself

Ahh... I remember reading one of the novel afterwords that jin was homeless.

pffft i snorted at 20:00 cx. im p sure that it never really crossed azami's mind, she doesnt really get human logic after all.

Really funny video, but from what I know, is there ever actually a point that its stated two people need to die together to go into the Haze, and that only one can come out? especially with how many contradictions there are with the first point of two people dying it seems more likely that its just people who die on 8/15 in general, and the people who get out are the ones who are able to align and connect with one of the powers. that would explain why haruka and takane both can leave, they both can align with different powers. otherwise an idea i've seen is that they didnt both leave, takane was able to leave and haruka refused the new body he was made by the snake, and so the snake went out with the body alone. this is why konoha is almost mindless and more instinctual with "protect my friends, eat, sleep" I really like the idea that they all sort of internalize ideas between each time loop, it helps explain why things are different between just "its a different time loop and things are different" its a thinking i never really thought about before. Finally I am wondering, when was it that Ene just "dies" from her "wish being fulfilled"? ive never heard of that before or the idea that the snakes could "expire" if someone doesn't want it anymore.

this is my new favorite video, thank you

Wait... So does that mean that the first story in the timeline was the one where Shintaro and Momo bought the rabbit food? The manga timeline? Doesn't the first story in the manga timeline immediately end after everyone gets shot and killed by Konoha after they went to the amusement park? ... Now I'm confused... Someone please explain.

I remember that takane as ene her power was the effective inmortality, so she always stays awake, and the electronic device thing had something to do with the whole just a soul thing

This was amazing. I actually really really enjoyed the last 2 hours of my life that have just gone to waste.

This is glorious

OHHHHHHH MY GOD

Class is in session

I thought I understood this show. Oh how wrong I was

I haven't read the manga in a while so I'll gladly be enjoying this video now

This was actually fantastic and well explained

Will's speaking voice sounds so much different than his singing voice wh-

this video is comedy gold if you start one hour in XD

How did I go through this whole lecture.. its literally 2am now and man I learned a lot

anyone want to address the irony of hibiya being hit by a truck

Me, who doesn’t know anything about kagerou other than the fact kids these days sure love throwing themselves in front of trucks: *furiously googling images of all of these characters as they come up*

Can someone add *good* captions to this

thank you for your service, you are a god send

I'm so happy that I found this video and completed it ur really great man !

2 hours and 19 mins of Kagerou Project? INSTA SUB

I hate how only a small percentage have read the novels

I just realized that Azumi is more comparable to a beholder than a medusa

Ok, that is just awesome

Thank you for this-

Been a fan for awhile and I've been so confused.

exactly what i needed

i have already watched this video like 4 times and here i am again...

first video of the channel i've watched and like, im in, thats what im on this site for: long essays/classes about fictional universes

If Azami is sad from Tsukihiko getting beat up, couldn't she just rewind time, I mean she is the medusa, and when Mary is the medusa the could reset everything

Is there a chance we'll get a video about Haruka? Our favourite artist boi

Happy august 15th you guys!

This is the longest bed time story I have ever had. I didn’t even notice during the video the sun ends up setting at some point.

take a shot every time he says "Because Jin" (don't actually)

I feel like this man is just trying to flex at me with the novels he placed on the board with me knowing that I can’t get them because I can’t find any of them in English

Hey I know this is late and all, but I was wondering why you think Kano sucks??🥺 (39:40) I haven’t seen everything with the series so idk maybe he does suck and I just don’t know but I always felt like there was so much to do with his character and powers but Jin never did. But regardless amazing video thanks so much!! It really helped me to wrap my head around the series👍

To everyone getting into Kagerou project, right now as of april 2021 the re:boot of kagerou days has begun So.... LETS FUCKING GOOO

You should really do a video on the Shuuen no Shiori project!!! Those song are BOMB
