"Literally me" Anime Edition 

I don't think anyone who thinks Johan is "literally them" should be allowed to walk the streets freely.

I love the variety in here, from more masculine stuff like berserk to more atmospheric stuff like lain. Who knew literally me could be a teen girl or a super buff maniac with a giant sword?

A space cowboy, a broken man, a young boy who forced to save the humanity, a girl who questioning life, the strugglers, a junk dog, a detective, a monster, the man who change a timeline, the brave one, he who seek a true justice, robot with heart and the idol Old anime is something else

I was never big into anime, until I decided to get into Cowboy Bebop and Berserk during Covid. Stuff like that is life changing Edit: I love the anime community :) please ignore the replies, y’all thin skinned asf

Great edit, especially the correct/functional alignment of visuals with the beat is something that many editors are too lazy to do. I also love the choice of characters here, they do not fall into that grey zone like patrick bateman where he is 100% a psychopath and definitely not „literally me“, but the characters chosen are really great written characters.

So, given the ending, this is a confession that you stabbed someone right?

This edit actually shows how much of the good shows were back in the time in the 2000's and 90's that we can actually relate to them than the current mc who is just a random 15 year old out here saving a world

Honestly the best curation of "literally me" characters I've ever seen. Including the female characters adds to the depth.

Monster became my favorite show ever. I literally have spent hours unwrapping, reading and thinking about the underlying philosophy, the symbols used and every scene, EVERY SINGLE SCENE - and dialogue - and interaction means something or adds to something, it isn't just there. It's brilliant through and through and Johan became my favorite character because i was a HUGE people pleaser and i feel that hollowness of thinking you are just a ever changing mask and not an actual persona

Spike is the Ryan Gosling of depressed space cowboys

The best "Literally me" in the world! Your selections are great as well.

I just finished Welcome to the N.H.K. a few days ago because I saw it in this edit. Oh. my. god. That show is literally one of the best animes I have seen in a hot minute. The soundtrack, the overall vibe of the show, the descriptions of anxiety and depression that Sato shows, and the relationship that him and Misaki build with each other overtime is immaculate. I'm so upset that show isn't more popular than it currently is. Thank you so much for including it in this AMV, I discovered it because of this video.

I'm not the only one who misses old anime right. There's no filter and a lot of them have lessons that stick with you through life. Nodaway's its just isekai, isekai, isekai or some ecchi sh-t

Shinji , Satou and Lain probably the closest to everyone

Welcome to the NHK is the most realistic show here to watch if anyone needs a recommendation

LAIN IS EVERYWHERE, LETS ALL LOVE LAIN

もうこのタイプのアニメは作れないんだろうな…今は呪術廻戦みたいな下らないのが人気だから

Since you included Texhnolyze along with the other masterpieces, I can claim you are a man of culture deserving nothing but respect!

Seeing Okabe made me unreasonably happy. Love Steins;Gate.

The character choice here is so diverse compared to the previous literally me edits I have seen. Great work!

Man that transition from Monster to Steins was fucking perfect

My toxic trait is secretly waiting for batshit crazy events to happen so that I can suffer alone and sacrifice everything I have for the people I love

Transition from Monster to Steins:Gate is phenomenal

The transition between monster and steins gate 🔥🔥🔥

Its weird how this is the only compilation I've seen that features female characters

Thank you so much for adding Re-l Mayer, she rocks

Omg it's literally me, I'm literally a 14 year old girl addicted to computers who is actually a program without physical form designed to unite humanity through singularity

Shinji is the character that noone wants to admit they are but everyone has a little bit of shinjiness to them

The fucking transitions are insane man. You also have impeccable taste. Great edit.

Amazing choice of characters. So many emotions.

Basically characters in search of purpose, identity or to escape internal pain and anguish

Lain is our generations leader

I am so happy Sato is here. Welcome to the NHK practically spoke to me when I watched it. Shame not so many people know of it.

So many great Anime in here. Man I miss these kind nowadays. Awesome video :)

1970-2010 was the golden age of anime. Who agrees?

Nice to see Lain here. Let's all love Lain!

I’ve seen most of the anime’s in this clip. And I just wanna thank my buddy for introducing me to anime through Evangelion, Ergo proxy, cowboy bebop and ghost in the shell etcetera… Also I actually saw Perfect Blue in theaters with my buddy which blows my mind to think about. First time I ever saw a re screening of a movie from the 90’s. Glad these were my introductions and I really wish I could watch all these again for the first time. Also fantastic video 👏

All these good animes are literally me, anyway I really liked the editing nice job

Какие шикарные переходы между фрагментами аниме... я потрясëн.

I’m fifteen episodes into Texhnolyze. I’m kinda scared to finish it.

When they added underrated female characters too,My respect for them : *increases 1 billion times more*

guts appearing just after lain feels so fucking right

It's edits like this that really make me remember why I love animation, especially anime, so much. Such powerful shots that when combined have the ability to captivate various emotions with nothing but stellar beauty and pure feels. It is like a summary of what the medium can be, only making me want to watch more of what is there that's readily available. This video in particular was really well made and is only proof of my claims. Good stuff man.

Highly recommend Jin-Roh. The protagonist is perfect for a sigma male edit. Also, extra point for finding a hidden gem.

So cool that you added Texhnolyze... one of my favorites

You have encapsulatd almost all the most impactful anime i have watched so far. And i'm really happy whenever i see love for Technolyze, Lain and Monster.

YESSSS TEXHNOLYZE GETTING A LITTLE RECOGNITION And ergo proxy too. Very nice.

Damn, recognize most of these. Cowboy Bebop, Ergo Proxy, Texhnolyze, Monster, Fate:Zero, Steins;Gate, Samurai Champloo, Berserk, Ghost in the Shell, Serial Experiments Lain... Rest I haven't seen.

none're gonna talk about how seamless this transition is 1:11

Glad to see some Ergo Proxy, it's one of the most underrated animes out there.

Absolutely kino. Peak taste in anime, amazing editing.

0:43 hes literally me (i have a big forehead)

Great song and compilation. Glad you fit in an underrated gem like Texhnolyze in there!

Shinji Ikari: Llora* Yo: "literalmente yo"

No one would ever try to say that they are "literally me" if they are truly literally them.

These are some of the best anime ever made in a 1,5 minute clip A nice change of pace from the usual stuff

They're just good characters. Written by real people. A great character always helps remind me that I'm not alone in this world. My "literally me" anime character is Roc from black Lagoon ngl. I'm always trying to help people and do the right thing even though I know it's pointless. "If there is no Robin Hood, then be Robin Hood... Anything's gotta be better than sitting around feeling sorry for yourself."

welcome to the nhk and monster has to be two of my most favourite animes to ever exist. yall should give it a shot

Even tho I haven't watched all of them I just realized that these are the types of anime I was looking for. I just figured it out, I have them all on the special watchlist that I purposely save for the best moment. Even if I haven't watched them, I think I just got the vibe from it. And the welcome to the nhk I thought was Gon be just ok but it ended up as one of them. Great addition

The fact you included Texhnolyze... your man-of-culture-hood reaches deep my friend..

Thank you Madhouse, I first watched perfect blue to Texhnolyze to Monster, which introduced me to the rest...

i got chills when joe came on, glad to see ppl still remember&appreciate him

Parabéns pelo edit cara, esse instrumental do The perfect Girl é perfeito pra edit nesse estilo tanto filme como anime também.

Названия на русском: 1) Ковбой бибоб 0:00 2) Добро пожаловать в NHK 0:23 3) Евангелион 0:27 4) Эксперимент Лэйн 0:32 5) Берсерк 0:37 6) Мегалабокс 0:42 7) Эргоп рокси 0:46 8) Монстр 0:51 9) Врата Штейна 0:59 10) Технолайз 1:05 11) Самурай Чамплу 1:11 12) Фэйт Зеро 1:16 13) Призрак в доспехах 1:20 14) Идеальная грусть 1:25

Satou is definitely the most relatable to me out of this bunch of characters. Nice video

Im just so f... happy right now. All my favourites series is in that video. Thx man for that tribute. You Saved my day , literally .

I would add Ichigo and David from Edgerunners too, I think they both are very realistic main characters in which people can see themselves

My man is definitely a huge anime fan with all these banger masterpieces

0:23 is literally me🙁

Watching this video really makes me realize that anime had a golden age in the 90s and 2000s I'm not saying that quality original anime aren't made nowadays, but they're fewer and far between now

God texhnolyze is such a perfect work of art. I love that you included it, you generally think of shinji, spike, guts, any of these depressed anime boys when you are trying to capture that listless void feeling, but man Ichise is something fundamentally deeper. The show brings out so well the visceral restless soul and how weary the human condition feels, especially in the kind of wayward masculine sense that feels so prevalent today. There are these feelings we get, stuff that doesn't have exact words for, stuff like being tired of being tired, lonely while surrounded with people, or staring at your bedroom ceiling thinking about everything but nothing at the same time. Somehow I feel like texh speaks to those things so powerfully. Those feeling coagulate into such a unique and powerful atmosphere that permeates through every corner of the bleakest abyss that is the world of texhnolyze. The show never directly touches on any of these things, compared to something like NHK, but man do the vibes really get to me like nothing else.

I appreciate the pacing of the editing of this video. A lot of other edits on this trend go way too fast and focus on transitions, but you actually get to see the characters and their faces for more than a split second here for a change.

Vash the Stampede should've been in the edit, he fits that class clown arquetype whos actually broken inside at least i can resignate with that a lot

I'm glad someone remembered Re-L. Underrated waifu and a great character I could write an essay on.

The cut to Okabe gave me the most massive goosebumps and PTSD ever... Edit finally began to watch Monster and that Johann even appears here makes me anxious...

Everyone wants to think theyre spike or guts but no one thinks theyre shinji...

Beautiful edit. Thank you for this.

Incredible edit. The transitions are beautiful.

thanks for awesome ladies in this awesome edit!!

Most of the people here is literally tatsuhiro sato from "wellcome to N.H.K"

From my past experience in animes I came to a realization that anime for no doubt requires effort hard work consistency and a lot more the creators of anime put so much into them even after knowing that these are only fictional character yet they describe more feelings then real actors in movies.

THE STREETS SHALL NEVER FORGET MEGALOBOX

0:09 me a day before the test results are shown (i am cooked)

Thats literaly m.y taste in anime. Thank you, I actually didn't watch a cople out of those, so now I know what to watch.

Yea if you relate to johan lock yourself up

Thanks to this edit, I checked out Serial Experiments Lain and I'm filled with more malaise and melancholy than I felt after reading Homunculus. This is exactly how I want to feel after consuming media. Cowboy Bepop is next on the list. Also, the transition from Johan to Okabe is perfect.

Welcome to the N.H.K. was ahead of it's time.

“Whatever happens, happens” dawg why that go hard 😩 WHY THIS GO HARD This is extremely nostalgic I give u my gratitude 🙏🏽

all these anime are freaking awesome

Shinji is the most relateable character to me. The loneliness of Evangelion just feels so real. But man is this a good edit I love this.

Welcome to the NHK was life changing for me when I first saw it. It is such a great anime, I was happy to see it on the list.

I did not expect someone to add Joe in here, but i’m so glad he is here, he’s a really great character imo

Lets all love Lain

I'm 22 years old, not employed, and don't have a girlfriend. The closest one is Sato from Welcome to NHK, but he's not a virgin and I don't have Misaki. What I'm trying to say is that anime characters are never you. 14 year old Edgelord watching this should touch the grass quickly.

I had completely forgotten about perfect blue and you just gave me the most insane flashbacks with that creepy smile at the end... Goosebumps all over

man most montages have recency bias or random stuff not quite fitting the aesthetic, but this one is pure 10/10 pure gold, every single series shown holy shit, best montage yet by far of anyone doing this

I think im literally sinji.. his fear of close communication with people is so familiar to me... im afraid i will be hurted so i cant completely trust anyone.. i realized it recently although i watched evangelion a year ago
