I just watched look back a couple days ago, and I loved it so much! At first I didn't really understand the story (when I read the manga) but it really cleared up when I watched the anime.

i want to watch it now, thank you

It was such an experience seeing this in the theater. Especially since it was my first time experiencing this story.

Haven't watch it yet

Is the point of the alien scene at the begining to show how creepy the aliens are? And how they have no respect for people.

My personal ranking:- 1) Goodbye Eri 2) Look Back 3) Chainsaw Man

Just watched Look Back and it absolutely broke me. I was more sad that it was over so soon. I thought it was 1hr and 20 but it was only an hour 😭😭

typically Netflix just buys for streaming rights of anime... but actually in DanDaDan case I do think they paid for production in some capacity. why it isnt Netflix exclusive is very curious. i love the character designs. id def still call anime cinematography 'cinematography'. just that the camera is more 'meta', but framing of shots still works regardless of a physical camera or not. the abduction scene was ... extreme. i didnt see it as explicitly fanservice cus it was so uncomfortable. but its definitely fair to dislike that aspect. honestly, the aspect of DanDaDan i love the most is with the character relationships & interactions... which isnt really in the first episode or arc. so it be a series that gets better & better. if your curious why theres a focus on genitals, the mangaka explained that he wanted a story hook. like a protagonist losing a hand is a common story hook... but he wanted to go freaky with it.... it definitely is a tone setter ill say.

If you're a Makoto Shinkai fan, did you have the chance to watch Kanojo to kanojo no neko? It's 5 min long, super low budget, minimalistic, a lot of still shots, Shinkai's the VA for the cat and he basically narrates all the way through. Even though, you could tell even then, that Shinkai's a master of setting up a mood and knows how to get the viewer emotional. If you didn't and you have 5 minutes to spare, it's on TH-cam.

I'd like to say that I didn't see an anime that felt this special in a long time, but Frieren just happened. Besides Frieren though? It was a long while. I went through the entire manga in a few days (ended on the day when they released the final chapter before a 3 week hiatus, which always happens to me when I catch up to a manga!) and to avoid spoilers I'll just say - it's a beautiful story. Also, there's nothing compared to that ep 1 scene (though I still defend it, because it really feels like it's done right, has a purpose and it ends with Momo being empowered and saving herself with that great comeback to her kich from the first scene) and any horny/creepy stuff is minimal and mostly in the earlier chapters.

Silent voice's director, Naoko Yamada, is maybe one of the greatest anime director right now, you should try her other projects

Fire punch, is like a punch in the guts, with fire on it, be prepared if you go for it. some already said that, but the look back movie is a master piece, you should try it. and of course Goodbye Eri is also a very good one.

1:38 off topic, but girl yesss, I was literally on my way to the fridge to get a slice of cheese when I saw that 💛👏🏼🌝 but to stay on topic a little, I watched pretty much all of the movies you recommend and I agree, they are sweet and heartfelt and good to recommend! Garden of words has a very special place in my heart and the outro song always makes me want to cry.. 🫶🏼 one movie I was sure would be in this list is "the girl who leapt through time"! It's the first non ghibli movie I ever watched and I remember I had a complete cry breakdown in the middle back then haha but I really like it and it fits all of the other movies from this list very well! And same goes for "5 centimeters per second"..! 😊

I read Look Back this year, it resonated deeply with who I am. In the end Fujino has to accept that Kyomoto is gone and past will never change, even if she died because she made her leave her room, it made her life so much better. So, next time Fujino looks back she won't look back in anger and regret because her selfshisness torn them appart. She will have to look back with joy cause both met and her life was better becasuse of that. The only testament will be art, she will have to keep on drawing. Good-bye Eri and Firepunch have sentive themes, specially Firepunch. Fujimoto writes about the human condition but despite its horrors he always finds room for humor and references to cinema which he loves. Even Chainsawman is tame in comparison to Firepunch in some aspects. Finishing Firepunch reminded me to Arthur's C. Clarke's Childhood's End, Fujimoto definitely cooked. I hope both works get animated. Talking about animation, Look Back movie, which I sadly missed on theaters, IS a work of art and passion. Reading the manga is a great experience but watching the characters move, their little gestures and expressions, the AMAZING voice acting (I think watching it in japanese at least one time is a MUST), words aren't enough.

You: I read everything by Chainsawman's creator Tatsuki Fujimoto Me: I'm going to click on this video. I'm curious what she'll say about Fire Punch and Good bye Eri You: jk lol clickbait ftw!

are you on some woke ish?

Netflix and other streaming services buy the license. just like any other tv show or movie. and sometimes those licenses expire. that's way sometimes shows or movies leave netflix.

There are people that hate twizzlers?

Many so called "survivors" of alien abdcutions very often recalled being sexual assaulted / probed. And many ufologist claim extraterrestrials are interested in interbreeding with humans. So the whole bit of the aliens being creepy sex weirdos is entirely based on IRL ufo lore. DDD's core theme is love and how it relates to sex. Okarun has self esteem issues, he is also very submissive and "unmanly", hence he is constantly losing his manhood (literally). Momo wants to date but lacks maturity and understanding of the dangers males can pose, you can see that her ex bf was PoS that just wanted to take her verginity, and the male-coded aliens tried to rape her as soon as they met. And finally Aria, is obsessed with being a high quality girl and being the prettiest, she has a lot intenalized misogyny with how she spreads a fake rumor about Momo being a "slut" and tries to force herself on Okaru after consuming a ton of pornography and falsely concluding that all men want to have sex all the time.

The fanservice is weird as hell. I really hate that anime is still doing all of that, especially considering I don’t remember the manga being that weird with the abduction scene. I think the organ snatching thing was fine tho, it felt like it was added because it’s absurd- like “what would happen if you lost your balls?”

see a video on japanese literature, instant click. i recommend reading プラナリア by Fumio Yamamoto, which has finally been translated after 20+ years and is coming out next year as "The Dilemmas of Working Women." probably the best book i read this year and a new favourite. also Mieko Kawakami, who i think should honestly replace Murakami as "the author everyone thinks of when they think of Japanese literature," but i've also only read her first two novellas which are currently untranslated.

Twizzlers are just too tough, and not good enough to justify the sugar!

Sorry to hear of Hazel's passing Alisa. I know how much she meant to you. I hope everything youre saying is true, there have been many times in the past when you've talked about all the big ideas you had for your career and your life, everything from acting to teaching Japanese and many other things, and most times it never really seemed to take off or just wasn't pursued with your full heart. But something tells me maybe this time will be different. Rooting hard for you Alisa-chan! You deserve big things and you will find them if you put your heart into it, I've always known that about you. Ganbatte!

I saw the opening of this when it first leaked and knew it was something special. I wasn't hooked right away, but that episode closing (after dealing with Turbo Granny) where they say 'goodbye' hit me. Okarun pauses, and Ayase catches him with "See you tommorow!", and the screen fades to black before he says 'Okay!'. I melted into a puddle at that part. The very next episode solidified it for me -- the school episode where they eagerly search for each other because now they are 'bae'. And that music after the clink teeth scene is exactly what you are talking about, where the soundtrack just fits perfectly. This is the only anime were I never skip the opening, and frequently listen to it since it immediately puts you into a happy mood. Not a single criticism from me for Dandadan.

I love the guy

Love Dandadan ❤

I hate that Young Defiant channel... He calls every anime garbage like I just hate that channel

Imagination creates reality

All my life starting as a child. I didn't felt special much like the other kids i grew up with. If i have. I think it was just destroying things. That is the idea i have held for so long. And i harvested it as much as i can. I felt like i was born just to fail and fail and fail. Just to be trampled by others stronger than me. A purpose drives a man to move into action. I didn't have a concrete dream. A strong desire. Other than a fascination with space when i was a child. And great lust for women when i grew into adulthood. I have an experience working as a sailor. And it is pretty fun. Even without pay it was fun . Just being able to have a purpose. You are right. If people have a great desire, hunger , and dream they should grasp it right away. Grasp it right away as theirs. And it will be a reality for them

I was 15 or 16 when my mother died. I watched her breathe her last on her hospital bed. Robbed of health. I was not that young but I wasn't that bright back then as Iam today. I didn't cry. Not whole heartedly. My relatives there with me wanted me to cry. But i don't feel it. I tried to cry it and cried for the sake of crying. Up to the last moments of my mother. I was echoing her unloved notion. Her son does not love her as much as she loves him. And i also thought of my relatives the same. They didn't loved my mother as much as she wanted them to be

I wanted to live in japan back then and maybe. Not maybe yeah get married and live there. Yet i was lazy learning things, i am still lazy

Your purpose is discovered or not is like a maindish. Fulfilling

Life is an experience

Mad max is a good anime

Good luck with fire punch

Look back was great. Waiting for that Goodbye Eri adaptation 👀

read fire punch, it is an experience

If it's something you'd like, can you please tell us what you thought of the adaptation of Look Back? Loved this video, it was cool to hear about all these recommendations

You should at the very least move to a different region entirely if every living thing around you is dying of tumors. 😬

I'm glad your video got recommended to me. Thank you

Totally had tears welling up in my eyes while watching the movie adaptation of Look Back. It hit me deep, and their friendship is so tender

It's hard to break the habit of not making excuses for yourself. I'm glad that I started my own channel after thinking about it for some time and now I can say thank you to my past self for making that decision since it's lead to making so many precious connections with people in the community and meeting people I can have genuine interactions with. It all started with taking a single step forward and putting myself out there even if it makes me feel vulnerable. Thanks for this video. Looking forward to seeing your journey unfold.

Goated for mentioning Dandadan and Frieren, truly amazing pieces. Have you seen OP Fan Letter yet? My favourite non-Ghibli films are by far Your name and A Silent Voice. I remember really enjoying Summer Wars and Tekkonkinkreet years ago but it doesn't hit emotionally like the other two. Out of Shinkai's works, Your Name is absolute Peak. I thought I'd like Suzume more and I did but it just didn't hit like Your Name personally (still absolutely stunning). Did you check out Weathering With You? My favourite shows off the top of my head from recent times are Anohana, Summer Time Rendering and Ranking of Kings to name a few

Me and the boys rewatched Your Name a couple days ago and we fell in love with it again. Sooooooo good 😭😭 I'm a Japanese raised and living overseas so I can relate to your experience though. I understand 80% but the English subs really helps fill the holes.

You should combat death by creating life. You are a woman and have the unique privilege of bringing more people into this world. Don't make the mistake of waiting too long! Celebrate your heritage by continuing the lineage as much as possible.

one piece journey update when

You got this! These hobbies are a bit out of my sphere, but I'm going to subscribe and watch. Good luck on meeting your goal and telling mom, you have an inspiring conviction.

Don’t read Fire Punch 😅 it’s crazy even for Fujimoto

I dislike this girl, she got all offended because some fans were lusting for her, yet... what did you expect? You are not funny or interesting, all you got is that you are cute. Since then I stopped following her, just for being a b!tch. I dunno why youtube recomended her today, I didn't even bothered to waching the video, lol.
