They definitely made the greatest choice in anime history by choosing kensuke ushio to be the main OST producer. The OST is just perfect.

Such a amazing movie i watched it 2 days ago and Ive rewatched it 2 times already i love this movie it helped me personally the ending gave me a lot of peace and hope and this video made it even better

Being a nobody is a blank canvas to build connections... Deep. Very good analyst overall.

Great video

Thank you for this explanation and deep dive into Marluxia and Namine

Im late to this I've recently finished this I didn't like it at first but this morning I decided to rewatch it to see can I connect to the anime more and get a better feeling for it and when I did I loved it it was something special it had me in tears through alot of it the anime may not be for everyone but for me it hit so deep and it was honestly so sad yet so beautiful I'm glad I gave it another chance

Wonderful video, i love this series so much. No matter how many times i hear, watch, or play through these stories i tear up everytime. Yoko Taro's so great at making me feel hope for what feels like our hopeless world. Louise's story is my personal favorite, it's just so tragic and beautiful. I love how it mirrors káine. I also love ending E. And how Reincarnation shows the other perspective.

Hey, gearvanguard, can you PWETTY PLEASE make a Ventus, Terra and Aqua analysis?!! I think I need it... Seeing how good your analysis are, I'm sure you can take so many things from there... PLEASE!!

The sea salt trio are a tragic sad group😢

could you elaborate on your points from 16:57 - 17:05 ? felt like a typo or I just didnt get what you meant here. curious is all

Exacly, such a tragic love story

I know im a bit late but this video was somehow calming. Just wanted to tell you the video is really good!

amazing video essay!!! marluxia’s character, especially in light of union cross, is SO fascinating. and naminé is such a stellar character who absolutely deserves this love. plus shoutout to the appreciation for my boy repliku at the end! not entirely sure if it’s relevant, but marluxia’s storyline being tied to envy is also so fascinating when you consider that it was arguably envy that took his sister away from him. ventus wanted friends, he wanted some sort of power, he wanted a place to belong and to matter… he must have been jealous seeing people around him have friends like that. obviously he would’ve never actively chosen to get all this by killing someone and stealing from her, but the darkness that overtook him definitely was feeding on those feelings of desire. he didn’t even know her and yet she had everything he wanted, and the darkness must’ve known that, which is likely why it targeted her. he filled the role strelitzia was supposed to have played in the group and in lauriam’s life. and yet none of this gets resolved and it’s all forgotten… moral of the story is envy ruins lives, right

Exactly what i needed after finishing the movie! Thx.

Thank you :) an amazing video

In "Days" notes, we find out Kingdom Hearts itself saw him and Xion as its parents, and was ready to power thwm, should they ask. If during 2, he had only bidden his time instead of attacking Sora over Axel...He was so close ! Gaining himself ! Instead, he settled for the depressed suicidal Witch. Kingdom Hearts could probably help her too.

This movie is beautiful, it was my first introduction to anime and it was my cousin who showed it to me. It always makes me cry and as someone who isn’t even disabled I can still relate to the hatred nishimiya felt. This movie and manga will forever be part of me.

The reason i think he returned to Sora is because that was the end of the road for him, he finally has all the facts laid out in front of him, and having lost his friends, his identity, and being denied of his own life, wouldn't you give up too? He truly had nothing else left for him..........

I JUST WANTED TO LISTEN TO SOMETHING WHILE SCRAPBOOKING, WHY AM I CRYINGGGGGGGGGG

Ironically, it's its lack of classical beauty that makes it uniquely beautiful. This series, while hopeless, gives me immense love and passion for our race.

Organization XIII vs. Baroque Works

So what ‘’order’’ should I play the Neir stories in ?

KH and Yu-Gi-Oh! GX music in a Nier video is not what I was expecting. Really good video tho!

Watched a lot of lore videos about Nier Replicant over the years, but absolutely loved this approach. Great work!

i just want to say i have loved replicant ever since I played it and consumed everything connecting to it..this video was so good and gave me additional perspectives I didn't pick up even years later. thank you for making this

I'm impressed how much your editing style has improved over the years. Good job mate!

Some things to clarify: - the backstories of Weiss, Halua, Nier and some of Kaine's in the video are from Grimoire NieR, a book of concept art, guides, interviews and (most importantly for the video) short stories related to the game. - details surrounding Tyrann and the Shadowlord's pasts are from the NieR Replicant Drama CD which covers events surrounding Project Gestalt, Legion invasion, Emil fighting aliens and more. - the images used for human Weiss & Rubrum, Emil's teacher, the seafront man and Tyrann aren't real art of them but are placeholders for visual purposes (though Tyrann's image was made unofficially by NieR's original character designer D.K, of what they imagine he looks like). - the character quotes for Grimoire Weiss, Rubrum and Emil are from director Yoko Taro's other game known as SINoALICE which had a collab with NieR Replicant. Weiss also has another beautiful weapon story for ver.122... that I didn't use but will link below (IT'S SO SWEET) sinoalice.fandom.com/wiki/Grimoire_Weiss_ver.1.224 The part that hits me most is "I wonder if he, too had felt any relief from his sins." when talking about Emil. I talk a bit about their parallels of embracing who and what they were but I never realized how they connected to each other in their guilt. And for Weiss to ponder something so heartfelt is really meaningful to me especially given how he is in the game and how rare they interact.

👏🏽

Yoooooo! It's so good to see you again

Brilliant essay! Id like to think that if marluxia had retained his memories from KHUX, he would have helped Namine more directly, since she resembles strelitzia personality wise. I cant wait to see what they do with lauriam in the next game, and i hope that we get to see him and namine reconcile in some way.

I just found this video and your analysis on Roxas tonight and man, this is some really amazing content! I love how in depth you go into the characters beyond what is displayed in face value. You're an amazing writer and your content is outstanding! Take as much time as you need king, your videos are dope!

Just wanna say I mainlined all these vids and they are fantastic. Keep up the good work.

IDK how I just now pieced this together but KH3 ending is so good because YES, everyone FINALLY got to go to the beach!

Very deep and thoughtful, really getting to the heart of Roxas and his connections.

It's a shame so many people sleep on CoM, because it does WONDERS for all of the characters in it. ESPECIALLY Namine, who became one of my favourites in the series after that game.

thank you Naoko Yamada

Namine is so tragic and amazing, im glad she got her second chance at the end of kh3 despite her insistence in the final world that nobody would truly miss her

Roxas is Sora without the support system. They are way too similar to be considered different people. Sora is that bright 3pm Sun while Roxas is the twilight Also, Axel/Lea being treated as the same ruins the message

Nagatsuka a real one

Relatable.

Easily one of the best films this anime movie film is hands down the best i don't understand why it didn't win the oscar against the boss baby as nishimiya is actually deaf the actors aswell and her talking isn't easy or understandable so they use sign and it seems like the oscar was being bias overall The movie film is great but shortened as they didn't waste time on romance I'd assume that's why shouko ran away and didn't sign it to ishida she was very embarrassed

This is insane. The way you intertwine the different narratives and character arcs and connect them with KH's themes and story... Commendable work. You made me appreciate CoM much more.

This made me cry, Roxas is my favorite character and I think I would’ve done the same thing even though it may not have been the best decisions he made sometimes, I know what it feels like to be confused about everything and even yourself. I think it’s impossible to make the right decisions if you don’t even know what’s going on and like Roxas, I have a strong sense of justice as well and wouldn’t just give up my life just because everyone around me tells me to. So much trauma and pain.

It hurt the first time to read the manga and watch the anime. When I was about 6 we moved to another city after my parents divorced. I was immediately bullied because I was the new kid. And taking those standardized tests did not help. I scored highest in the school for any grade level in 4 of the 5 years we were there. All of a sudden I was being told that I was not living up to my "potential" and for every report card that was not straight A's I was beaten, burned or both, at home. The midnight attacks were the worst. In sixth grade we moved again to a different city and the "New Kid" bullying started up again. This time I did what I could to get out of it. I joined the band and found a bit of acceptance there and later fought back against a bully by breaking his nose, dislocating one of his kneecaps and breaking his arm and clavicle. He, and his crew, left me alone for the rest of my time in middle and high school. It was worth the 2 week suspension. I got out of the house by skipping a few grades and going to pre-med on the other side of the continent and then medical school in Edinburgh. Lots of therapy and working with people who are seemingly well adjusted has helped me turn my life around. I try to find pity for them, because I know they must be in a terrible situation for them to think bullying is normal, but I still hate bullies and their parents. I make it a point to re-read and rewatch the week of my birthday. It hurts less and less with each re-reading and rewatching.

I'm not going to lie while this analyst is so beautiful. I think Kingdom Hearts mistake was bringing back Xion Roxas and Nanime as their own bodies I would have just love to keep those characters inside of Sora and Kyrie since they are they're nobodies because it felt like Kingdom Hearts 2 understood the reunion of whole now what I would have loved if Roxas and Sora you know talk to each other on the spiritual plane and figure out how to release ventus from sora's heart that would have been more of an incredible journey than oh look we need Roxas and them back just because.

10:35 Is that treasured memories from Kingdom Hearts 2.5?

This show absolutely broke me, ever since i watched it this movie has somehow never left my mind and im hoping it doesn't, i love this show so dearly because i can relate to most of the character and there struggles, in a part of my life i was in a really deep hole, i just lost my grandfather and i felt nothing, because of that i went into deep depression, terrible low self esteem, and pushing people away ,i never really recovere, just pushing it down and moving on with my life. Watching this show makes me realise that even tho a person such as my self, worthless, not very social, always seen my self as the outsider of all my groups, and that even if i dont feel loved or have ever been cared for i always know i will always have someone to help me up even if i dont have guts to share, this show really did impact my life and i hope i never forget of it. Highly recommend!
