วีดีโอ

Dungeon Meshi is classic fantasy vibe, I love it.

One of my 100/100 anime. It’s funny how the technology in reality is accelerating too. 2060 does not seem off at all.

It was enjoyable to watch kaiju no 8 weekly but maybe i need to binge it

wow new vid 😍 as usual more entries for my watchlist... I've been sleeping on Dungeon Meshi cuz it sounded too low-stakes to me; now that you say there's a change of direction halfway, I can't wait to find out Merry Xmas!!

Finally someone pronouncing Alya almost correct, lol. It sounds like you completely ignored the l, which is closer to what it should sound like, compared to what everyone else is saying which is something like Al-yuh. The proper way is A-lya.

Great list. I haven't seen delicious in dungeon, but I'll give it a watch now.

Thank you!

I used to think this show was about the shinrikyo gas sarin subway incident and how this incident destroyed lots and lots of families and relationships in the past and in the future, that is why there are so many orphans in the show. Maybe that is just a typical conspiracy explanation of a cryptic anime story. Like it is so cryptic that people projects themselfs meaning.

I just double checked to see you didn’t make one for autumn 2024… on that note I just finished Sakuna of Rice and Ruin - loved it! definitely a hidden gem (and imo very underrated)

Is there more to the clothesline scene shown very often throughout the series?

I hope Netflix asia picks this up. I don't wanna buy another streaming service just to watch this. 😅

I wasn't able to predict it. Has many plot twist

What I do like about it is that it is also highly rewatchable, as you notice so many little details. You can really feel the love for the story the director had with the carefully placed visuals and soundtrack.

Orb is the sleeper hit this season

ngl i like the background music of this video

this vid made me understand the series a lot better (though, not really. thanks ikuhara) and looked this vid up to help some confused friends since they'll need it after. rewatching this again too it made me think, since i am interested on hearing your thoughts on a decade old show. do you think you'd discuss the movies much?

Love these videos. One thing that finally clicked on a recent rewatch is that the Penguindrum or the magic that puts destiny on the right track is love. With that in mind, a lot of symbols make more sense (disclaimer i might be wrong): -HHH sing Rock over japan when Himari is posessed because they represent the love Himari and her friends dreamt of in the ideal timeline. That is why the Princess invokes it during the Survival Strategy. -The diary is initially assumed to be the Penguindrum because it was what Momoka used to change destiny. In effect it's a symbol of her love for humanity. Later it becomes Ringo's penguindrum, symbolising her love for her sister and the Takakura siblings. -HH appear on the train announcements in every episode. While their message act as foreshadowing/commentary for the episode, their omnipresence hints at the fact they still love Himari despite being separated. This gets paid off when they visit the house in the finale. -Assuming the Penguindrum is love, the reason HH's song unlocks the power of the diary in the finale is it's a miraculous display of genuine love. Again, thanks for the vids. They really helped me get more out of this show😊.

Great! I was just looking for some new anime to check out. Now I have some options.

I can second Magilumiere, it’s very charming and I also love what an unhinged fighty tomboy Hitomi is. (And a later insane character is wonderful too!)

Icd been watching 4 of these, 2 more im curious about but lack their respective streaming services. Now i do wanna say Acro Trip feels a lot like a sfw gushing over magical girls

I don't have much interest in fishing I've been fishing for at least 20 yrs

this video should have more views

Great analysis man. amazing. and I loved this show

IMO one of the most overrated anime of all time. I think It's premise is great actually. Having a Iyashikei-style series but melancholic with themes of loss, regret, war, nature etc. is so fucking refreshing. And the show was like that in the first 5 episodes or so until it started to become another generic adventure (later battle shonen/seinen) series, which was such a big bummer. The callbacks to friren's past didn't convey much after the first few times they did it, and thematically they didn't construct anything worthwhile or compelling. The execution is incredibly shallow in my eyes. I honestly don't see the depth anyone else sees...

Isekai has 2 unique directions: The most common is traveling through a parallel world via magic [portal]. Anything from basics like Alice in Wonder, Wizard of Oz, and Peter Pan to common anime like Digimon and Gate. Another is to die in one world and be reincarnated in another world.

What I figured out a long time ago was Noface is on that boat. We think we first see him on the bridge but he's on that boat if you watch the movie again you'll see it

All i know is that Vivi is Hatsune Miku if she watched way too much John Wick.

And, Frieren herself is quite a nut. Great writing and beautiful artwork. You quickly identify with the characters and understand their situation. Even this magic elf with an unimaginably long lifespan. Even her calm and low key responses. "I am here to kill you." "I must warn you that I am strong."

thanks for the video ! i had noticed the saturation while watching and even did some screenshots to show to my friends lol also, is this the anime where they drink coffee together and one says something like "i got lost in your eyes" or something like that ? i think it's super cub that has a scene like this, but i completely forgot ! :D

I'd have never came to this conclusion about pengwuindrim plot, impressive analysis ❤

didn't like Utena at all but then saw someone mention Penguindrum so I went ahead and watched it many thanks for the video; you makes things less baffling somewhat. the last 3 or so episodes were a bit maddening cuz I felt there was no more coherence or logic. the so-called right track and the true nature of the penguindrum were all open to interpretation and I'm not even sure if the creator himself knew just like you I enjoyed the seizon senryaku segments massively. they r now basically my favourite transformation sequences and that's saying a lot a question - while Ringo stalked the glasses guy she was recreating bit by bit events recorded in Momoka's diary so Momoka must've got a few dirty secrets of her own as well? she and glasses guy were in a relationship that was hardly appropriate for school children, either that or she was also a delusional stalker/yandere like Ringo

Ohahaha I was just thinking about those opulent rooms were there can be no dust and plastic is on the furniture that I couldn't go in. Yeah that was the grandmother that I wasn't close to who never got me anything never had any moments where she acted like she cared about me and definitely wasn't fun to be around. I think the only thing she did was argue with my mom over cereal and act like she didn't want me there it was weird. But yeah like you said Grandpa figures can be nice

取り上げて下さってありがとうございます🙇 私はフリーレンより良かったです！ あまり話題になってないのが残念です(>_<) どんでん返しが衝撃でアニメーションもきれいでしたね！ シーズン2いつまでも待ちます！

Hope there's a season 2

I always found it interesting that there were two river spirits in the film, both with ties to Sen/Chihiro. As rivers/water is a symbol for purification in Shintoism, I wonder if including two of them was indicative of cleansing the two sins of greed and gluttony, as discussed above.

Anime is so underrated. I genuinely enjoyed the story line at first but wow. It really had me shook around episode 12-13 🫢

Verstehe nicht

Nice analysis. I hope you continue in this vein, it was pretty interesting.

Lovely analysis! Lot to think about with this one, makes me appreciate this movie even more

Yubaba and Noface were supper terrifying to me when i saw this movie as a kid. The initial 2 acts made me think it was a horror movie at first.

I had such a struggle watching Spirited Away when I was a kid due to disgust of certain scenes like when the parents were eating (even before they became pigs).

Love the passion, it shows in the work.

fascinating video, im so glad to know that people are still talking about this masterpiece of a movie in new and interesting ways. it encourages me to think about aspects of the movie in different contexts. something that always intrigued me was how easily and readily chihiro gave up the purging medicine to haku and no face even though she meant to save it for her parents. she had the key to getting out of her situation in a quicker manner, yet she decided to split it in half and offer it to others instead. chihiro working to save her parents could be interpreted as them getting into some kind of debt (her parents carelessly consuming or taking from shady figures, forced to give themselves up as payment and only their daughter can free them through arduous work). i interpreted the river spirit's gift as a favor to chihiro, a way to reward and recognize her hard work. something like a rare opportunity given by a wealthy and high-ranking individual to aid someone less fortunate. in this context, i wonder what it means for chihiro to give up such a favor when she was so desperate to save her parents. perhaps she felt that haku and no face needed the help more than her parents did? there's a chance that the consequences for haku and no face's descent into greed would be even more severe than it was for her parents. or maybe it was just something in her nature that pushed her to help others above her own goals. either way, the extent of chihiros humility and willingness to refuse things she doesn't need/give up things that others may need more in that moment is such an interesting character trait. i'd love to hear any thoughts

4:56 The food is enchanted. Or maybe it's so good they literally couldn't stop eating after one bite.

Kamaji's boiler looks like a grasshopper

cool video! :)!

Great video!

I thought Yubaba was a russian witch who lives in a house on chicken legs?

Are you also felt like it can be representative of the prison culture?
