วีดีโอ

I watched this movie with my mother just now. Unpopular opinion: this anime is best watched with somebody close to you, especially your mother. Watching this made me cry a lot the first couple of times watching this movie, especially at the very end. I loved this movie. You all need to watch it. You will not be disappointed.

As someone who has never cried during a single emotional anime scene...It was fun watching my wife turn into a puddle and I was drier than ashes. Still a great movie and glad I stumbled across it. And yes, we're parents.

Also really cool how in the final battle it kinda sounds like Barbatos is howling like a wolf.

I wouldn't say I hated the movie, but I can't say I loved it either. A lot of the decisions different characters made in this movie felt very awkward at times, even unjustifiable. Take for example Ariel who decided he would swear loyalty to the very same kingdom that caused the literal near extinction of his mother's kind....like wtf? Who would do that??? He was directly fighting for a corrupt king, it threw me off so bad for the rest of the movie!! Same thing with Lang. Then there's Leilia who spent 85% of the move yearning for her daughter only for her to jump off the castle and basically unalive herself when she finally saw her. Then she tells her to forget her and that she will forget her daughter too! I literally laughed at that. Ofc she's never going to forget this for the rest of her life, she is traumatized!! Halfway while watching the movie, it felt like a lot of the characters were just..disconnected, I thought I knew the characters after watching them go through their journeys for about 2 hrs but near the end it's like they're all making the complete opposite decisions from what they normally would have. And don't even get me started with the hinted incest between a literal mother and son...Overall there were a lot of elements that made this film weird and it rlly threw me off bc I truly wanted to like it. Maquia's motherhood was the only and the best part of the film and I did cry at the end when I saw old Ariel. I wish they made better choices in writing this film.

As someone who became a parent- I can only watch this movie the once. My heart can’t take it again.

the Imperial Japanese Army mobilized 1,780 schoolboys aged 14-17 years into front line service as an Iron and Blood Imperial Corps. during the battle of Okinawa. feel like there’s some kind a ties to that.

Why did I have to watch Itchigo get violeted 3 times and gaining speed aswell.

Man.. I just watched this because it was on TH-cam Premium, and you right. Movie is a shot straight to the feels. I was not expecting nor ready for it.

I would join the faction that says Nanachi dies in the end. Just before the picture fades to black, you can see the drops of blood on the ground next to the horse tracks. So the wound has opened up and is bleeding quite a bit, but you can tell this from the size in relation to the hoofprints (a horse like this has hoofprints at least 15 cm in diameter). This, together with the heavy ride, is guaranteed to have killed him.

Barbaytos........

one of the best anime and by far my favorite Gundam

Evangelion looks different from what I remember.

This show was my first dive into Gundam and god damn it had me absolutely hooked. I just rewatched it last week after not watching it for 3 years and god damn I forgot how savage this show was. Probably one of the best Finales too, bitter sweet but wholesome too and part of me hopes that there could possibly be a sequel series of some sorts

could you imagine that this masterpiece lost the best animation award of its year to bolt, that's disgustang..

My theory is that Luo Lang is of Danish/Swedish/Norwegian origins... just wanted to put that here.

Wdym he died in the end? He just fell asleep. 😊

Mikazuki augus was the greatest gundam pilot imo

Deep

Great video

God still needs me fam lmao, lord of light vibes 😂 i got plot armor.

The story in Sword of the Stranger really isn’t that great, and the characters are very poorly developed unfortunately, the art, choreography and animation were its highlights. I wish it did have a more fleshed out story though, i would have liked to have seen more backgrounds and personalities of the characters because they had had a lot of potential, this would have been a better short series than a movie imo. Pretty sure dude bled to death at the end of the movie too lol Also, of course Luo Lang’s Chinese is horrible, it was well established that he was a foreigner, Chinese would be his second language

OOOOH FrankenstEIN I never caught on to it 🤦‍♀

What movie is the first scene from? Thank you..

Underrated account. Elite editing and good commentary. Humour on point. Instant follow.

Seeing this for the first time in theaters was one hell of an experience. I consider my self fortunate to have been able to. Also, as Nanashi and Kotoro raced off on horseback, and the camera started to pan out, it showed Nanashi was losing a hell of a lot more blood than they were initially showing us. He had just been through a hell of a battles, taken some good hits, and had to exhausted himself between the fighting at the temple, riding the horse into the ground, and afterwards he proceeded to push himself to run to the fortress as fast as he could without a break, where he was temporarily knocked unconscious and immediately resumed the fighting right after recovering. The jewel may have prevented him from dying within moments like Luo Long, but he had to have been exhausted by the end and running on an adrenaline rush. With all that adding up, I seriously doubt Nanashi made it to the next town by the time he lost the adrenaline rush, all of his injuries catching up to him afterwards, running on fumes at that point, and with the amount of blood it showed he was quickly losing by the end it. He went out like a champ.

I think homie survived, he aint that badly hurt and the village wasn't that far away

I watched "Sword of the Stranger" many times and I've just come across your video, great analysis man. I think you missed one point - scene where Nanashi uses previously stolen coins to throw it at enemy, for me it also means that he had is no longer a sword for hire but samurai.

ONe rare aspects, Nanashi has red hair. Although the MC1R gene for red hair exists in Asians, it's 1 in 100,000 children active. during the 16th century, Portuguese sailors were shipwrecked on the island of Tanegashima. The locals recovered the ship’s cargo, which included matchlock rifles. On other hand, Nanashi physically looks asian...........there fore likely a mixed race

Great video, I watched this movie for the first time a couple years ago and that ending fight and the soundtrack has been living rent free in my head ever since. I'm about ready to give this a second viewing and going back in with this info will definitely enhance that and give me something new to watch out for. As for Nanashi dying at the end - I take it as a symbolic death which I think is why it was left ambiguous. The old Nanashi died, but I think he lives and becomes a new man.

The myth about the frozen blood wolf trap is absolutely fascinating

Oh my god your videos are so comical but so good you need more subs my guy 💯 🔥

Bro not piloting a mech mans piloting a country

listening to you say tekkadan kills me

This movie didn't strike the same chords with me that it did with other people, but I still think it is a really good movie (8/10 imo) and not well understood by many of the people who watched. Other than the things you mentioned, there is also criticism over humanities obsession with extending our lives even if it means giving up our dignity, pride, and "humanity." This is told directly with Nanashi's struggle in executing the kid as he didn't want to face the consequences from his lord and fellow soldiers if he refused. This is one of more obvious messages as I also remember Nanashi literally telling someone "haven't you lived long enough?" in response to them trying to sacrifice Kotaro to desperately extend their life, but it is still something I feel that a lot of people gloss over.

Nanashi was always a conscious man unlike Rarou (Luo-Lang), you must understand that refusing to comply with your lords order is not only punishable by death but also deemed as heavily stigma behavior, for short it is a dishonorable act. What is more, a young soldier/samurai would not even dream or think of refusing his any superior let alone his lord. So, Nanashi being frozen while the lord shouting for execution is quite a huge refusal and a serious transgression by standards of that ages and place. Nobody should think they would fare better. Nanashi should have come terms with reality and have an understanding only after a serious trauma and thought process about what happened, and concept of having free will or not. On the other hand, Rarou would not give a shit about killing a child and mother. I am sure he would not enjoy it since it is not good sport and pointless, but he would not particularly feel uncomfortable about it as well, in the end what must be done simply must be done. He would most likely to be indifferent to the idea of child slaughter and would definitely abide by the orders without a flinch. So, I believe they are quite different characters from the start. Obviously, Nanashi enjoy swordplay before trauma happened, but who would not when one is so excelled in something. And I did not even consider once that Nanashi has died, I did not even understand where this idea came from. He is exhausted heavily but none of his injuries was deadly and he was trying to converse with the boy as much as his exhaustion let him. He found his piece even in life, now Nanashi has something to hold on to, such as fatherly or brotherly love. Most importantly, he is not alone any more.

this show has the exact same flow and story arc as evangelion or attack on titan, standard operating procedure

Yea u should watch s2 and blade of the guardians as well

watching IBO reminded me really heavily of red dead redemption 2, strangely enough. this toxic relationship where a bunch of dissatisfied people followed the violent cult of personality of one self centered leader always gunning for more, and i suppose the differences between the two is that tekkadans voice of reason (biscuit) died far sooner that the van der linde gang's (arthur) did, and orga also fully, wholeheartedly believed in what he said and did, even if he only did it out of compulsion (fear?) for someone else

the best gundam series ever

EPISODE 12 BROKE ME

Yo your underrated my boy, W mans.

season 2 is out

Did you watch the new season?

Doubt youll see this. I think nanashi is alive. Simple put i feel like the jade was meant to be taken 2 ways. 1. The debt had been repayed and 2. Nanishi saved the boy and on the end the jade the boy gave him sabed nanishi's life. Also the prayer might be a prayer to never kill someone for no reason ever again. Him cutting the ribbon is him drawing his sword for a reason for a real purpose to protect kotaro.

thanks for this heads up, never noticed alot of these points after all these years , he reminds me heavily of rerouni kenshin!

Last episodes just came out its god tier

Did you watch season 2 it's dope as hell

Best. Story. Ever!👍👍👍👍👍!

Seinen filtering shonen babbies. This show was good.
