@Suki More accurately to what I was trying to convey: It's a blessing that our internal realities don't dictate the state of external reality. Otherwise everything would be just as unstable as we are. I'm not sure about y'all, but knowing that what's inside of me isn't all there is helps me keep a proper perspective.

A little prompt from Cinnabar in the end was enough for Phos to remember his promise. Despite losing a third of his body some memories are too deeply rooted in him, but the fact that he couldn't possibly remember the "fun" word and even dismissed it, really broke my heart.
Also the fact that Phos stays awake working constantly to avoid thinking about Antarc. Phos' constant state of exhaustion is one of the saddest things.

I love how the show tells us that change doesn’t just happen with one major event(like in most anime). It’s a gradual proces that happens over time. And by the time we realized how much Phos actually changed and how all the small events in the story contributed to that change, it’s already too late. Great first video! Keep it up bro 👍
Exactly! By the time you get to the current chapters you're looking back like, whoa, is this even the same person anymore? All that in just 71 chapters.
Its pretty amazing how well you summed this up. Especially since most of these things remain so in the manga. The world doesn't get any darker by Phos's extreme actions, in fact you could argue that 90% of the characters are better off than where they started at the beginning. The world only seems to get darker because you begin to see everything from Phos's POV, which as of late has become a dark and broken one.
17:08 damn, you did you just damn you you just mixed like two of my favorite things that could exist, the golden blooming of phos reborn and failing, and the black song white scales from drakengard 3, i am getting chills in my heart this is so goodamn beautiful i cant handle it
17:16 i guess that's not just a flower, that's a lotos, which is a symbol creation, cosmic renewal and primordial purity in Buddhism (from which HnK also took a bunch of other things). * also looking forward to the video on manga *
Oh dang you're right. How didn't I catch that? The next vids gonna have a little more stuff about the Buddhist themes. In fact, the entirety of Houseki's world operates on a Buddhist worldview which is totally rad.
This is probably the best video on Houseki no kuni I’ve seen so far. A few things- Ventricosus’ name is pronounced Ventri-Ko-Suss, closer to the last way you said it. The gems are actually closer to male, since they often use masculine forms of ‘I’(Boku/Ore), and call each other he(Kare) and brother(Nii-san/Otouto/Aniki). The series does get a *little* darker in the manga, though nothing too overbearing. I hope you cover that in a future video someday, it’s really something to behold!
Yeah I've been meaning to read it. I've actually been drawing Laphos a lot lately cuz I love that design even though I only know the basics of what happens. I'm still hoping for a season 2 but my patience grows thin. GOTTA' KNOW NOW!
It sure seems like it from what I know so far. Man that's just so tragic. We'll just have to see how things get shaken up from here on. I have a feeling she'll return to her old self in some respect. Then again I haven't gotten up to date with the manga yet, so I don't know just how crazy things are.
Old phos Is just the cutest little gem I have ever seen Old Phos truly has a special place in my heart White diamond is a pretty good rebound but just not the same as adorable phos
"Our little Phos isn't gone just yet" *hahahahaha*...ha But really, it's nice rewatching these vids during the hiatus! Gosh HNK is RIDICULOUSLY underrated...
You summed up my feelings to words and made it all a bit more clearer as to why I love this show/manga. I found the story to be relatable even more now. Wonderful job, keep up the good work!
I just gonna say that I love the Drakengard 3's Final Song plays in the Phos's awakening, and the additional flashbacks. It made me go watch that game's story and just recently finished it.
This is one of my fave houseki no kuni videos I've watched. You brought up very good points and I like you analysed phos' development and tone of the story. I hope you make a vid on the manga. Man, the story just gets darker then.
well 2 years later, the manga certainly has gotten a lot darker, but at the same time, the tone didn't change all of a sudden. everything happened for a reason, and the tone changes with phos as you see her perspective slowly change with each failure and misunderstanding. at the "darkest" moments, it actually feels like everyone deserved everything that was going to happen, except, of course, phos, who did nothing wrong to justify the treatment she got from everything and everyone in the world.
Yep, it's not clickbait if DIO was in it all along. Really I just put that in the title as a joke. I will never see the phrase "the world" in the same way now thanks to JoJo, and I imagine it's the same for like, 90% of the other folks on this planet. Well, the ones who watch anime at least.
I come back to this video every now and then. It's still good. Probably a good hundred of these views came from me. I appraise every editing, scene progression, inserts, dialog, and punchline. I always thought that your tone and humor reminded me of something and I finally found out that it reminds me of zefrank's True Facts videos. You should do a parody anime True Facts video! That'll be funny.
Hey thanks a lot man! This vid took like 3 months to make. Fun fact, I started it in January of 2018, but took a break and didn't finish til the later end of the year. I've dialed back on the obsessive editing since then so I can be more consistent with uploads. Sometimes I look back and think, "how the heck did I do this?" I hope my future content can be just as good despite the time restraints. I guess you could consider this: True Facts About the Rock People. Hah! Thanks again for your support broski! It means a lot!

It's "This Is What You Are" from Warframe. There's 2 versions. The one played in the video is the one that plays in the operator room. I too am terribly obsessed with Houseki. Hah!

Really impressed that this is your first video... Watching this really puts a lot of my feelings I have about this series to words, and the way you edited this to put extra emphasis on the most important parts was really good. I really can't understate how good of a job you've done here
I also love how you use Phos's ost over and over again. It's also my favorite due to how beautiful and hopeful it sounds. It really reminds me of old Phos and gives me some peace after the let's say.... despair filled current chapters
This is a really great video, the effor you put into it is clearly visible and I love it. I'd like to see more HnK analysis, maybe on the manga too? Keep up the good job~
The drakenguard 3 music was perfectly inserted. The music styles are similar, and the flower that Phos makes with the gold is very reminiscent of that game. Good job my dude!
Have no idea how this ended up in my recommends but I’m glad it did. That ending takeaway really got me thinking and I might have to return to this anime some time soon. Great video!
Love the video!! It has actual deeper analysis of the characters I wish more videos had on this amazing series. Dry tone and blasting music is a great bonus.
This is probably my favourite essay on HnK! Love all the points you made and how you let them all progress through the episodes chronologically, they all summarized what I adore about this show. It made me want to rewatch the whole show again :D Excellent video, subscribing for more!
One thing I noticed that isn’t really discussed is the parallels between Antarc and Cinnabar. Both play defining roles in Phos’s life as instigators of change, they are both low hardness Gems, even lower than Phos and yet they both display great power and potential but because of their “disabilities” are consigned to a rather lonesome existence. Because Cinnabar releases a poisonous alloy, she isolates herself in the darkness, and because of Antarc’s physical structure means she can only exist during winter when everyone else usually hibernates. Because of this they both acquired some anti social qualities. They both seem to be aware of Sensei’s “relationship” with the Lunarians but still chose to treat him with love and respect which sets them apart from Phos.
It has been a long time coming wanting to watch this video. Glad it turned out fantastic. Honestly I didn't read Phos quite like that in my first watch of the show. I do see them struggling between 'wanting to change but not really', sub-conscious vs conscious sort of deal, but never fixate on both want and don't want on each conscious. Your dive gets me thinking about it again, and every examples and 'proves' you pull chronologically in the story really reinforces your read really well. Phos might be more relatable than I initial thought they were.
you know, I have watched a lot of breakdowns of this show (forgive the pun). But holy shit, this analysis takes it to an amazing level. I love it. Thank you for this video, you did an amazing job bringing out the nuances of this show that I love so much! I hate how I only found this video now, instead of when it was published.
That was pretty well done goddamn, a few of the "meme" sections felt a bit long and your voice itself is a it low but apart from that, good editing and structure overall. Hope to see more content like this in the future
Spoiler In short sensei is a machine that was supposed to pray for the souls of humanity so they can pass on but after breaking and gaining sentience he can now not or can’t pray for the souls of humanity.
Don't click show more if you aren't caught up with the manga "Phos is her own antagonist" Holy shit that aged well seeing as SHE IS THE ANTAGONIST "Sensei is probably a lunarian but it doesn't matter" HAHAHAHAHAHA OH IT SURE DOES MATTER WHAT HE IS "This isn't a story about immortality sucking" *The lunarians have entered the chat*
Oh my, this video has a lot of good ideas that I didn't mentioned before, I think everyone who saw HnK, or read HnKs manga need to watch this. This video is underrated and deserves more views, and channel deserves more subscribers. Really deep analys. Also, metal cuts are great
I loved this, excellent work Zeroloid, I wish I could have found this video sooner. Ik it's old but this show still is a hidden gem to be discovered in the pile.
@@zeroloid9762 I've literally watched houseki no kuni 3 times in a row cus its too good, was close to giving up on waiting for s2 and read the manga, but I can't I heard s2 will be coming out soon.
Thank you brother, for a fine rumination over the development of Phos in the static world of Houseki no Kuni. How our everchanging goofpebble gave you the oomph that you required to get the ball rolling. Well I'm a gonna watch your other vids just to know you better as a person.
I subbed right after your initial bar joke. I love you for putting the black eyed peas to the antarc fight scene. Your voice is so smooth, your telling and analysis feels like a high tech million dollar documentary, baby. Keep it up, I love your stuff. Had me laugh tears.

I really can't understate how good of a job you've done here
Thanks a lot broseph! I had to express my feelings toward the show in video format somehow.
I also love how you use Phos's ost over and over again. It's also my favorite due to how beautiful and hopeful it sounds. It really reminds me of old Phos and gives me some peace after the let's say.... despair filled current chapters
Same. I can't get enough of the Houseki soundtrack in general. Maximum comfy.
@@zeroloid9762 Absolutely perfect study music as well. Basically the whole soundtrack is a masterpiece
@@Seiza25 No kiddin'
Absolutely amazing, this video explains all the feeling contained in HNK perfectly, thanks for making this.
Thanks and no prob
Phos is so relatable, he has always wanted to fight but then never get the happiness they deserve
Phos is based like that
in the span of a month i already re watched this video like 3 times.
Great analysis / review.
Dang! Now that's dedication! Good to know it doesn't just get forgotten after the first watch. Thanks for the support bruv!
17:03 .....aaaaand subscribed ! awesome edit, made me suffer all over again, 10/10
I've been re watching Houseki lately. And oh boy does it hurt.
Im from 2020 and im so excited for Manga Volume 11 Coming out this Year also Great Video ^-^
Yeet
a great breakdown!!! the exact themes of hnk has always been hard to put my finger on, and i think you absoloutly nailed it!!!
It's a tough rock to crack for sure
This is a really great video, the effor you put into it is clearly visible and I love it. I'd like to see more HnK analysis, maybe on the manga too? Keep up the good job~
The manga video's coming soon! I'm about halfway done with it.
16:10 This sequence is so beautiful. The use of Nier and Drakengard music with the flashbacks, thank you for creating it.
Twas a moment of inspiration for sure
The manga gets so, so, so dark... Its haunting and beautiful.
Oh believe me, I know. *shudder*
The drakenguard 3 music was perfectly inserted. The music styles are similar, and the flower that Phos makes with the gold is very reminiscent of that game. Good job my dude!
I luv dg3
Cinnabar or Cinnabun
Cinnaboth
@@zeroloid9762 a depressed candy bar
Cinnabest
@nick donzanti Lmao, I can't top friggin' BINNA SUN.
@nick donzanti Binna sun is besti sun
Sooo good. Such in depth analysis i didnt even notice the time! :O thats art work right there.
Thanks! I put months of work into this one.
When the ATLA music starts playing- you know it’s a deep moment
No ATLA music here bro. You're probably thinking of the Warframe music.
Have no idea how this ended up in my recommends but I’m glad it did. That ending takeaway really got me thinking and I might have to return to this anime some time soon. Great video!
Thanks a ton man!
no matter how many times i watch antarcticite's death, i can't stop crying
Big sad hours
The choice of music is just godly.
Really great video.
Thanks m8. The music is what i have the most fun with.
(talking about what sensei is) "it probably doesn't matter" the manga: well,
heh
I love your houseki no kuni content, it's so relaxing 😊
Thanks man, that's what I aim for
Finaly man of culture, phos indeed the best
Phos is pebble of culture
Love the video!! It has actual deeper analysis of the characters I wish more videos had on this amazing series. Dry tone and blasting music is a great bonus.
Gotta' blast them bangers, nah mean?
At 18:44 sensei is shaped like the inky silhouette of the lunarians when they first show up
O dang no lie.
incredible Video! i really really liked it! And you sense of humor is great. Good timing!
lol thanks
at 23:50 i noticed something weird, is this music the operator room theme from warframe
Ye
best review i have ever watched, with the mix of different soundtracks you have used!
man this series is changed soo much
Thanks B. It has changed drastically indeed. I still feel like the core is intact tho so it's k.
@@zeroloid9762 yes that's right but i have emotionally attached to this series and it's unique story
I thought this video was literally Phos vs ZA WARUDO from JoJo
I admit the title is somewhat of a joke. I wonder how a fight like that would go down. Phos would probably get rekt as usual.
This is probably my favourite essay on HnK! Love all the points you made and how you let them all progress through the episodes chronologically, they all summarized what I adore about this show. It made me want to rewatch the whole show again :D
Excellent video, subscribing for more!
Thanks lad! At the risk of summarizing too much, I like to show how things progress naturally. It really helps take in the big picture.
Drop this in at the Land of the Lustrous sub reddit! This video is amazing!
Roger that and thanks!
@@zeroloid9762 YESSS =)
One thing I noticed that isn’t really discussed is the parallels between Antarc and Cinnabar. Both play defining roles in Phos’s life as instigators of change, they are both low hardness Gems, even lower than Phos and yet they both display great power and potential but because of their “disabilities” are consigned to a rather lonesome existence. Because Cinnabar releases a poisonous alloy, she isolates herself in the darkness, and because of Antarc’s physical structure means she can only exist during winter when everyone else usually hibernates. Because of this they both acquired some anti social qualities. They both seem to be aware of Sensei’s “relationship” with the Lunarians but still chose to treat him with love and respect which sets them apart from Phos.
Great observation
loved this, I found it hilarious!! mostly,,
First you laugh, then you cry, then you laugh again. Emotional roller coaster is a go-go.
It has been a long time coming wanting to watch this video. Glad it turned out fantastic. Honestly I didn't read Phos quite like that in my first watch of the show. I do see them struggling between 'wanting to change but not really', sub-conscious vs conscious sort of deal, but never fixate on both want and don't want on each conscious. Your dive gets me thinking about it again, and every examples and 'proves' you pull chronologically in the story really reinforces your read really well.
Phos might be more relatable than I initial thought they were.
Yeah Phos is crazy relatable it hurts help
Using the drakengard 3 final song during the scene.... B A S E D
based red-pilled and kino
@@zeroloid9762 I was rewatching this and forgot I said this nine months ago just wanted to report it still hit hard
you know, I have watched a lot of breakdowns of this show (forgive the pun). But holy shit, this analysis takes it to an amazing level. I love it. Thank you for this video, you did an amazing job bringing out the nuances of this show that I love so much! I hate how I only found this video now, instead of when it was published.
Thanks so much! I put months of work into this one.
That was pretty well done goddamn, a few of the "meme" sections felt a bit long and your voice itself is a it low but apart from that, good editing and structure overall. Hope to see more content like this in the future
Ayy thanks. Yeah I'll definitely be a bit more brief with just about everything from now on.
I don't know what you expect him to do about his voice being low??? It's just his voice lmao
I personally found it comforting and approachable.
ykno, this is one of my favorite videos to this day. it never gets old. :)
*Houseki no Kuni conviction arc*
Loved it. it was fun to watch, and your editing gave me a few good giggles.
Thanks lad!
Spoiler
In short sensei is a machine that was supposed to pray for the souls of humanity so they can pass on but after breaking and gaining sentience he can now not or can’t pray for the souls of humanity.
I covered that in some of the later vids.
Idk why but I'm so proud of myself for recognizing the reference to Drakengard 3 starting at 17:06. Well played bro, great song choice
you should be
Don't click show more if you aren't caught up with the manga
"Phos is her own antagonist"
Holy shit that aged well seeing as SHE IS THE ANTAGONIST
"Sensei is probably a lunarian but it doesn't matter"
HAHAHAHAHAHA OH IT SURE DOES MATTER WHAT HE IS
"This isn't a story about immortality sucking"
*The lunarians have entered the chat*
Yes
Oh my, this video has a lot of good ideas that I didn't mentioned before, I think everyone who saw HnK, or read HnKs manga need to watch this. This video is underrated and deserves more views, and channel deserves more subscribers. Really deep analys.
Also, metal cuts are great
Yay! Someone likes my metal trash! Lol, thanks for the support my guy!
this title didn’t age well
Phos vs Everyone
It would be great to watch another of your video essay on this show. Keep it up!
One o these days
review the manga pleaseeeeeee
Itsa' comin' don't worry. It just might take a while.
I loved this, excellent work Zeroloid, I wish I could have found this video sooner. Ik it's old but this show still is a hidden gem to be discovered in the pile.
Darn skippy it is
I want useless Phos back
saaaaaame
@@zeroloid9762 I've literally watched houseki no kuni 3 times in a row cus its too good, was close to giving up on waiting for s2 and read the manga, but I can't I heard s2 will be coming out soon.
@@dndu-nfns6243 I don’t think there has been any official word on season 2. If it does release, it will probably be around late 2021 at the earliest.
Thank you brother, for a fine rumination over the development of Phos in the static world of Houseki no Kuni. How our everchanging goofpebble gave you the oomph that you required to get the ball rolling. Well I'm a gonna watch your other vids just to know you better as a person.
Yeet
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
15:31 "note that this is the darkest this series will ever get, all future events considered"
hahahahahahahahahahahaha you wish
only as far as the anime goes
I subbed right after your initial bar joke.
I love you for putting the black eyed peas to the antarc fight scene.
Your voice is so smooth, your telling and analysis feels like a high tech million dollar documentary, baby. Keep it up, I love your stuff. Had me laugh tears.
I'm glad you enjoyed the bar joke. It was more or less designed to be bland and unfunny but I'm glad someone appreciated the dryness. Hah!
@@zeroloid9762 it can never be dry enough. Thank you! ;)
