- People say a picture’s worth a thousand words, and it’s what I think draws me back to the animated short film for The Girl From The Other Side so often. Directed by Yutaro Kubo & Satomi Maiyo, produced by Studio WIT, and based on the manga of the same name, it follows a day in the life of an otherworldly creature known as Teacher and a little girl called Shiva, and today, I just want to talk about why I love it so much.

You know, I thought I'd rendered this in 1080p, and only now realized it's in 720p . . . woops, lol - guess this is just another reminder to double check things
Anyway, CC available, and links are in the description!
It was wild to find out that Nagabe, an artist who I'd followed back when he was active on Tumblr and published a tongue-in-cheek doujin manga about bird yaoi which became something of a meme, had a fairly popular manga some years later, and I was delighted to discover that it was further being made into a short film. His style is so evocative and charming and occasionally really ominous. I'd also heartily recommend Monochrome Blue, a story about the relationship between two young boys which really hits on that whole feeling of realising you're queer as a kid.
My favorite thing about both versions of the anime is how they have completely different but equally captivating themes for what the curse represents when compared to the manga. While in the manga, the curse is explicitly stated to represent the yin, everything that is earthly, the flesh, the material, etc. the both adaptations treats it as an all-evil force which in my opinion, actually strengthens the narrative. The difference even goes as far as the endings. The 2019 short’s about the melancholy of a relationship where one cannot touch each other, the anime is about being worthy of raising a child who isn’t yours, and the manga is about the dichotomy between light and dark.
Duuuuuuuuuuuude, the last volume destroyed me
The last volume, Volume 11 is out soon I believe yay
Wait a second, there is an animated short film about this?! I must watch that. But besides that, I must say, as someone who read the manga, this interpretation seems kind of odd to me. But I guess it can make sense. Also I wonder why the short film doesn't have any dialogue.
Yeah, it is kinda hard to find tho.
And fair - I haven't read the manga, so my interpretation is working solely off the short. It might even change completely if I do read it and get more context for everything.
And I'm not sure why there's no dialogue, but I'm gonna take a wild guess and say it's cuz it might've been cheaper, or it was just a stylistic thing they thought'd be cool
@@TravenTalks I can definitely recommend reading the story. It's quite emotional and exciting.
@@pyoheliobros5773 The absence of dialogue does remind me of the early wordless images that Nagabe did of the duo before the manga was published, which were very cute and more than a little spooky.
Mannnn you need far more feedback than you get! I hope ppl will find your channel soon!
Thanks man, glad you like my stuff that much!
Loved this video. I haven't read/watched it but I think I will go for it just because the little girl is so adorable
Thanks, hope you like it!
Amazing video! i like your interpretation and perspective on the short film. Though, as a manga reader, you got a storm coming if you read all the volumes,,, a sad storm
Thanks, glad you liked it!
And yeah, that always seems to be the case for these cute kid & monster person dad stories . . .
This anime inspired me so much that I actually attempted to make my own anime.
It was for a school project when I was still in high school, and although I procrastinated most of the time, eventually there was a time I spent 15 hours a day in a two week sprint in the attempts to make it in time.
Through trial and error, I got better and better, but over all, it was really enjoyable.
It’s hard to always start something that could be enjoyable without first being forced into making a decision because live is ‘happening to me’, but in those moments when the moment is decided for me, that’s when I feel most alive.
[Since clearly it’s worth thinking about now as to why it is I can only enjoy things when thrust upon me as though the chosen one, rather than having a will of my own, below is an analysis, just for my own sake:
…
The things I chose to do in the past were always things that I anticipated towards, whether it be a fantasy or an actual event in reality, I always yearned to go through it before it actually happened.
As a result, I would work towards reaching those ideals, such as working out to achieve the perfect physic in order to swoon my future wife, or get straight As in school in order to prove to myself that creating an asteroid mining company and becoming the world’s first Trillionaire was doable.
However, once the pandemic hit, and I was at the peak of my phase in life of analysing everything with the purpose of eliminating a fear I had towards becoming a cynical adult who was numb to life’s experiences, I eventually got eaten up by that abyss like so many others, since I was given a two year chance to mess myself up.
Once those two years were over, college began, and common sense and intuition were now abstract things.
Anxiety and longing to feel something became the norm, and every day I didn’t have school, I would just lie in bed for 16 straight, thinking, with the hopes of finding an answer as efficiently as possible, rather than learning it the hard way, which I expected to take decades instead.
As a result, after my seeking journey allowed me to stumble across spiritually, I eventually hit a point where I could remember what it was like to be a normal person, and used those memories to guide me.
However, 10 months ago, I came up with a vision for an ideal, a person with a a genuinely otherworldly vibe, and obsessed over it.
The moment I could feel something, I latched onto it like a spider and did not let go.
I analysed the person’s mental capabilities, their persona, motivations, capabilities, goals, and dream.
Unfortunately, my analyses took me down a path of steering off track from the most important quality that The Ideal had, and that’s the ability to observe, and have intuition.
I am now logically capable, but none of that matters without an actual guidance of grace, which brings me here today.
In order to have this guidance of grace, I need something I want, and in order to want, I need significant memories, and if I want significant memories, I need to observe what is in front of me without a thought and simply let life ‘happen to me’.
However, relying on life to ‘happen to me’ has the draw back of waiting things out rather than making actual decisions in order to make significant memories.
I‘ve pushed myself out of my comfort zone many time, trying to see if I can erase/burn-off any sort of negative, limiting, or logical associations, since ultimately anything IS possible, so I shouldn’t have an expectation of how something should go and make it feel repetitive as a result.
In order to observe, I have been playing around with video games again, watching anime, reading manga, talking to people, and taking on anything that is asked of me, in the name of making memories and trying to enjoy the moment. Sort of like how I imagine Musashi does in vagabond, but I’ve yet to actually read that manga.
And as for finding what it is I want to do with a sense of anticipation, excitement, or any other emotional attachment that I could have towards something, I have been practicing with trying to hold an intensely strong emotion towards any daydream I can conjure up, or anything that I go through, and maintain that for as long as possible without the emotion from getting distracted by either thoughts, habits, or strong associations/karmic-bonds.
I’m still working on this one, for right now, the story of how my life experiences go is as follows:
- I watch something with the intention of having no intention, and try to observe it from the first person rather than being dissociated.
- I succeed for a time, but then after a while, I notice how I don’t feel as much as I want to, and I try to turn up the voltage within myself.
- Sometimes I fail with trying to up the voltage by thinking about how to do it, which is my habit of analysing that I’m trying not to pay attention to in order to burn off, but most times I end up remembering the fact that paying attention to the things that I want is the key to all of this, and so, while watching what I’m doing, I end up paying attention to the things that I want to want, and allow myself to have all sorts of emotional reactions, not just the one that I expect to happen.
- As these emotional reactions take place towards the single experience, again, to up the voltage/increase-the-intensity, I make sure to…
Yeah, I still don’t know how to increase this willingly yet, which is why I struggle with creating significant memories and wanting things enough to the point that I take action towards anything, whether it may be buying a new game that I could get hyped up for or trying to create SAO in real life.]
I love this manga!!!!!!!
Oh man that's some nice fucking content. Found u while searching some Dorohedoro Videos. Keep Up the good Work ans hope more people will find u
Thanks, glad you like my stuff!
Where can i watch the season 2 please 🥺it’s not on crunchyroll
Doesn't make sense with the manga because it's basically about betrayal and society but also meaning of life.
