6:54 LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK

This was a great year for anime!! I had quite a few shows I enjoyed

This is so valid. Howd I never realize? 😂

This is actually from a movie and a show if you didn't know

I share your enthusiasm about demon slayer! It was a great season 🤩 I can't wait to watch the movies too! For the giveaways, are there US only or open internationally?!

Ahhh! My top 5 Anime for 2024 were ( and yes this is in order) 1. Tokyo Revengers - my fave this year 2. My Hero Academia 3. The Apothecary Diaries -I hope there will be mooooore! 4. Sasaki to Miyano 5. Given -finally watched it this year! cheers to another year of enjoying things! 🎉

Love the transparency of this video! I also have anxiety around death and I never put words to it so Lisa explaining this really helped me identify that. I’ve only read the 1st chapter so far but Collette Decides to Die just feels like a healing and funny series that addresses a deeper topic in a light way which we all need.

*This might be a spoilers, not really? But better safe than sorry.* I’m soo glad someone found this manga, I love this manga and read it a few years ago, and I’m still reading it. I reallllly love greek mythology, and what I love about this manga is that it doesn’t villainise any of the gods as ‘THE BIG BAD’ but instead unpacks them as both human and immortal and how they’re disconnected to humanity and learn from Colette. Colette is a really lovable protagonist, smart and has great strive and yet she still manages to learn how to improve on herself, lastly the slow romance is so good and only gets better! Honestly I’m just happy that there’s a really good manga with a creative take on the Greek Gods. (Unlike a certain manwha…cough cough)

I enjoyed the last recap- it was such a trip remembering the film. Anime DVD’s were soooooo expensive back then haha

I read those 20(!) years ago. Wtf

i've been reading this for awhile and this was definitely money worth spend. I love the story so so much

you know, you should do a videoon the protagonists of this yuri. because what i feel is special about her is her acceptance in where she is and living there.

Girl you just brought back a memory that I didn’t even know I had 🫢 imma go re read that manga now

Ahhh red river! I remeber this yea lets make more like this! Its an amazing story!

Thank you for convincing me to read this! It’s been on my read list for a while but you got me on the main character having to contemplate taking a life. Love an Isekai character going through an existential crisis 😭😅

Like Escaflowne!!

I didn't receive enough info to form an opinion so im just gonna default to "no" instead

thats so real, i used to just tape images i liked on my walls LMAO ,,,i should do that again maybe

None of my business, but I recommend using risers, that way figures in the back won’t be covered

OMG!!! Finally someone else who is reading this phenomenal manga. My friend got me into this manga in 2005 and when I would ask other people that read manga about Red River they would always look at me strangely lol.

Omg LOVE this! I never watched BNA before, I might have to add it to my watch list!

NEED THISSSSS

Can I watch it in bilibili??

I like this anime so much but where can I watch it ??😮

Ahhh LimeWire days, I remember those *inhales cigarette* lol jkjkjk I really liked Serrandon's point about shows and toy sales! That's one of the reason's one of my fav shows (Young Justice) got cancelled when I was a tween, the toys weren't moving. Companies love looking at profit smh. Digimon definitely would have been as big as Pokémon if they marketed it properly for sure! Love his love of the 2000s, great episode!

This was so fun thank you for having me!!!🥹

Recently started fishing and this first Episode was amazing!

Yeah beautiful perfect!!!!!!

ITS SO ANNOYING! I NEED A S2 ASAP T-T

This explanation of the series I noticed only because of COLORFUL NEW COVERS is amaizing! Thank you. You explain a lot but it is understandable. I must say that the ending is making me think "this is disapointing" like it would leave me disapointed more than sad. Maybe because I don't understand why he needed to kill the sister....and for him to now not hate that person sooo deeply to the point of .... Really I loved everything till that very ending you just told me about 😕 I can relate to something dear from back when oneself was young...it stays emotional still.

Neat

I remember seeing it on YTV in Canada in 2005/06 and didn't pay much attention. Then rediscovered it when I was 18 in 2012 and I WAS LIKE WOAH. Then I forgot about it and re-watched last year and love it even more lol. The OST has been on my phone since 2012 and i still listen to it a lot.

Just rediscovered this anime and thought it was great, but your review was even better!

Great review and thanks for doing this series! I love both X manga and X/1999 so much. The only point I would disagree is how the ending could have went. I have a feeling Clamp would have had a pleasant ending for X just to counteract the ending they had in RG Veda. This is just my opinion though

Spoilers are everywhere it's terrible

What about X? Haha!

As a nonbinay person I got recommended this manga and I was searching on youtube about it, so thanks algorithm for recomending this video✨✨. Do you know where I can read/get the manga digitally? Specifically the dark horse version with they/them pronouns. Thanks✨✨✨✨

I’m excited to see a video about _Jie Yao_ in 2024!! I know the web-novel and even the manhua are way more explicit as _actual_ danmei, but I’ll always have a soft spot for the donghua because it’s quite sweet. And we even got a hug, which some people would say is rare nowadays haha. Seeing this, of course I have to join the conversation because if someone’s out there talking about danmei and/or donghua, I’ll always pop up lol. I’ll always have an appreciation for how danmei and baihe authors keep sneaking in romance even despite censorship. You can find “gay” stuff everywhere in Chinese media-it doesn’t even have to be danmei sometimes. I’ve seen ships hinted at in het romances like _No Doubt in Us_ or even just stories about war and justice like in _Dalisi Rizhi,_ which points to how creators engage with censorship. Which does make it frustrating when a lot of people hate on danmei for not being explicit enough. And hearing the “bromance” mention has me wanting to add something: It kind of drives me crazy when BL drama fans insist BL cdramas aren’t BL and call them “bromances” instead. This makes absolutely no sense to me because BL just means “boys’ love,” so if boys are in love, then it’s BL. And yes cdramas are censored, but if the authorial intent is BL, it should still count-especially when these creators are literally fighting the government and putting themselves and their work at risk to even insert clues to the BL relationship. Which means calling it a mere “bromance” really disrespects the crew’s work, especially when so many BL drama fans refuse to watch things labelled as bromance. And like, if you watch _S.C.I._ or _The Spirealm_ or _Winter Begonia,_ none of that is a “bromance.” That isn’t how bros interact! A cdrama that actually counts as a bromance would be something like the adaptation of _Hikaru no Go,_ which is subtle enough to be read as a bromance because it’s _not_ (generally) originally intended to be a BL. The same logic applies for donghua. _Jie Yao_ is 100% BL, even without being explicit. A bromance donghua would be something more like _Please Take My Brother Away,_ which features close male friendships (even though it’s not the main theme). Like I can understand calling the censored BL media from China “dangai” instead of “danmei” because “danmei” almost comes from the term “yaoi” (actually comes from “tanbi” iirc), which _does_ help clarify if something is explicit or not (because danmei and yaoi are associated with being more explicit). But “boys’ love” is just boys in love, and that’s what those BL cdramas are, no matter how censored they are. Another bad example of this is _Heartstopper_ fans. They condemned danmei for being explicit and not pure _and_ even criticized danmei authors for not being at Pride, saying that no danmei author has done as much for the LGBTQ+ community as Alice Oseman, the author of _Heartstopper…_ A sentiment that completely ignores the fact danmei authors _can’t_ go to Pride. 🙄 And the author of _Heartstopper_ didn’t exactly help this by insinuating in a comment online and an interview that their work, even in drawing inspiration from yaoi, isn’t going to be explicit like yaoi because “yaoi fetishizes gay men in a really bad way.” In many ways, danmei _is_ yaoi-just with some more Chinese cultural flair and sometimes larger plots or more genres (a trend that occurred partly due to censorship, as more yaoi can be about just sex while danmei will mix genres and provide a grand story-as seen in something like _Little Mushroom_ or _Kiss the Abyss_ etc-because they can’t _just_ be sex). But yeah, that’s a lot of what I wanted to say haha. Anyway, handshaking you on liking _Jie Yao_ by the way. Good taste! 😆 Finally, this does make me think about whether there’s an audio drama adaptation of _Jie Yao_ on MaoEr FM, which even if there’s no fan subs, can have its subs machine-translated through Google, and I know the novel is translated too… 👀 A lot of danmei audio dramas get overlooked because obviously there’s a bigger language barrier and a slight accessibility issue (although now MaoEr FM actually accepts pay from both Apple and Google devices so it’s not that inaccessible). But the audio drama adaptations are still really really good, and they’re the second least censored after novels (it’s novels, then audio dramas, then manhua, then donghua, then cdramas, with games somewhere in the middle). One example of a really good audio drama is _Bing Xing Xia Deng_ aka _The Selfish Gene_ on MaoEr FM (although it’s actually known by fans as _Inferior by Nature,_ because confusingly enough, _The Selfish Gene_ is the fan-chosen translation for another of the same author’s works). Adaptations like _Bing Xing Xia Deng, Mo Dao Zu Shi, Tian Guan Ci Fu, Additional Inheritance, Mo Du,_ are all genuinely really good. Even the simpler playful ones like _I Ship My Rival x Me_ are cute! And I definitely recommend checking out danmei audio dramas alongside danmei novels you read, if you can! 😉 In truth, I’m an advocate for all of these different forms of Chinese media haha. Novel, donghua, manhua, audio drama, cdrama… There’s a lot of gems out there. 🥰

I read manga watched drama I wish they release am anime also I will watch it and be thankful

Same here Am in love with the actors for that reason I want them in another such amazing series

Loving these videos

Where can i watch ittt

💙 Haven't thought of this manga in years, glad to hear it finished. Didn't even know that it had an anime adaptation. So now I know what I'm going to watch this weekend, thank you! I recommend Grandpa and Grandma Turn Young Again. It is a wholesome, fun, and silly slice of life. It does have deep moments though so I recommend having tissues ready. Or Tadaima, Okeari is wonderful.

I just rewatched Eureka 7. I remember the first time I watched it back in 2005. It would play right after samurai champloo in adult swim.

All I'm going to say is I haven't seen either one but I have heard they are both good

Oooh i'm a couple eps behind but i've been waiting for the needle to drop on what felt like the mystery for this show, atleast in terms of the character relationships

I'm starting to think these places are Yokas state of mind after she pushed the button. And the weird shit happening in towns represents how she feels about those people maybe?

Everyone is gonna die aren't they😢

Shizuru does feel guilt. Even if she isn't, the fact she travelled all this way to bring back Yoka shows she is a good friend.
