I had a weird moment where i realized that it strange to my ear to hear a director referred to with feminine pronouns. It's not like they're not around. it just feels like they're such a minority that the thought of a "woman director" is novel. That's frustrating. Art needs more female voices.
@@AoiHeartStranger I'm incredibly confused by this statement. Gender, cultural origin and financial background have some of the biggest impact on how someone views the world. The undeniable statistical truth is women are underrepresented in directorial roles, and that has certainly had a huge impact on the types of movies that get made, and the cinematic language that directors learn from to tell their stories. Having so few female directors would be like having hollywood be 95% dominated by people with rich upbringings or people who grew up in the same part of the same town. You just have a less rich artistic pool to swim in.
@@aryjarvis3161 i dont think men and women are that different mentally, so i cant really get you either. I understand the impact of cultural upbringing on your view of the world and the ways you decide to portray it, but not gender, in the same way at least. And, now, that everyone has access to any work of media they want to expirience, i think a lot of what you're talking about lost a lot of weight long time ago.
@@dandelion40k87 I agree with Caleb to be honest but watching it was definitely worth it for the moment when she puts her foot down instead of falling on her ass
I'm a simple man, I see praises to Yamada Naoko, I like. I've read multiple interviews of Yamada Naoko and she does state her inspirations, but it's rather an abstract idea still due to not knowing the specialties of said directors. A well put video!
Love the effort you put in there videos as well as your "style". The editing is really well put together, complementing your instantly recognizable and some might argue with this but for me clear voice.
As a film student still finding my own style, this convinced me to pause and rethink things about myself despite having to submit a script in two days, especially the closing statements. Everyone can give you bits of wisdom, but I thank you for showing it, not just telling (Yes I've watched the Tell Dont Show. Been going through your's and Tony Zhou's channels to find elements that I can use in my upcoming film). Suuubbbed.
I'm just your average anime watcher, and anything related to film making is definitely way beyond my understanding. However, your video was so well put and I actually understand every point you were highlighting makes it an interesting watch. I honestly felt a bit more educated in a sense where I am a bit aware of what film makers and directors are focusing on. It's really great to understand anime or films in a different perspective, at least a little, rather than taking everything as it is. Thank you for making this video!
I love that she’s influenced by Sofia Coppola, I could see the semblance between the two film makers instantly when you played a song from the movie LIT as a background track for the animation in the beginning of the video.
Great video as always, man. And about my favourite director as well. It was really interesting to learn more about directors that influenced Naoko Yamada to become who she is now.
Thank you very much for doing videos like this. I have warm feelings inside me (That's the best way i can find to say what i feel.) everytime I see a video with so much dedication and passion put into it. This is the kind of stuff that inspires me and makes me feel happy.
That moment with the footsteps in the office hallway is like in Tron (1982) when Alan is walking up to Dillinger’s office where he has been summoned. His echoing footsteps tell you something is wrong even before he steps into that office.
Jeez RCAnime. So far this is one of your best videos. With all your works I could feel the passion, research and hardwork you put into it. Especially this one.
i caught myself before i drowned in your thoughts. i was deep deep in thought. i was at ease. i love your videos. it makes me happy but in a very settle way.
This was a great video and very true. Without her direction i dont think the things she has worked on would have been received as well. Like The Shape of voice. One helluva a great movie and since i spent a lot of time in Japan just listening to the ambience and background sounds took me back and made that movie for one that much better. Yamada is a great director.
Great video. It's really encouraging to see people like Yamada and even yourself who treat anime as a legitimate art form worthy of analysis and technique, both as a consumer and as a creator.
Not sure if you will see this comment, but thank you for helping me lift my head up after my SAT scores... hehe :) Love your videos, I wish I can discuss about anime once in a while.
Great video man. I wish more people focused on actual direction. Being pretty deep into sakuga has been a lot of fun, because that community shares a lot of my interests, but I don't feel like I have very many people with whom I can genuinely discuss actual film direction with, rather than just the animation, I'm so much more interested in framing, color, lighting, compositing, etc. Yamada is just phenomenal. I watched Koe no Katachi in theaters yesterday(my third watch), and it is just the greatest, to be honest.
Is obvius that the classic japanese cinema is one of the biggest influences of miss Yamada, especially the refined and deep melodramas. Not only Ozu; Heinosuke Gosho, Hiroshi Shimizu or Kinuyo Tanaka could be named too. Her movies and TV series are simple but really moving
Is nice to see the spotlight in the creators rather than in the creation. It helps to understand better the art at the end of the day. ps: one little thing, try to make your voice flow better. I can feel how you are reading from a text and is somewhat of a bummer for your great editing and script.
Perfect timing after I saw Silent Voice this weekend, and recently finished Tamako. Rc makes the best anime analyses. Did Yamada direct episodes of Hibike and Maid Dragon or were those just other KyoAni directors mirroring the style?
You know what I have not seen most of her work yet, but this makes me really want to try K-on. Her directing seems really impressive. Really well put together video. Granted I do wish there was a bit less spoiler heavy stuff XD Still one of your best videos yet.

Pinning this!
Definitely a minority group; some female directors to shout out:
(Film)
Sofia Coppola
Greta Gerwig
Josephine Decker
Lynne Ramsay
Céline Sciamma
Agnès Varda
Naomi Kawase
Lulu Wang
Nora Twomey
(Anime)
Atsuko Ishizuka
Sayo Yamamoto
Haruka Fujita
Rie Matsumoto
Mari Okada
Chiaki Kon
@@RCAnime Varda. Now this is a cultured man. And a little ashamed to say, one of the only names I actually recognise, but will look at all of them
Art needs more voices who have something to say, gender has no relation to that.

An akariin fan who loves yamada. I thought I was the only one.
I personally prefer Shirobako, but K-on isn't bad.
i see k-on, i press like.
I see you have an akko pfp, i press like.
I agree
Agreed

watching all your videos again after hearing about the kyoani tragedy, I'm still so so heart broken about it
Why did he quit youtube? Cause of digibro?
@@Duck-re3tm wait what happened to this channel
i just realised, he stopped uploading videos 3 years ago

This was really good and really well edited Matt! (love the shoegaze too)
dude you are one off the best if not the best anime related channel, and definitely the most professional one, keep it up dude
your work is pure art. i'm blow away by the equilibrium you put in every aspect of your videos.
HOLY FUCK I LOVE THIS VIDEO THANK YOU FOR DOING THIS
I love that she’s influenced by Sofia Coppola, I could see the semblance between the two film makers instantly when you played a song from the movie LIT as a background track for the animation in the beginning of the video.
Another brilliant video, another insightful essay, plus top notch editing!
Thanks!
Aye, this is the shit we sub to. Gotta love Yamada, though! :3
Great video as always, man. And about my favourite director as well. It was really interesting to learn more about directors that influenced Naoko Yamada to become who she is now.
You just earned a new sub. The editing and the way you presented in the video really got me hooked
Hey, please comeback with your wonderful videos. We need creator like you.
There are two things I love right now; Naoko Yamada and your video
This was really well-written, dude. thank you for making this (:

This is a really good essay. I come back to it whenever I need visual inspiration
grand video my friend, you outdid yourself.
That moment with the footsteps in the office hallway is like in Tron (1982) when Alan is walking up to Dillinger’s office where he has been summoned. His echoing footsteps tell you something is wrong even before he steps into that office.
I know you moved channels but I love Naoko Yamada's works!
I will keep saying this: Your videos are some of the best on TH-cam.
Jeez RCAnime. So far this is one of your best videos. With all your works I could feel the passion, research and hardwork you put into it. Especially this one.
nice video essay
this is what youtube is meant for, true education or creativeness exploited by fans or studios devoted to the enjoyment of others
(gargles sawdust) this is the youtube that we need, but not the one that we deserve
You and Under the Scope are the two anitubers that im glad I found out about from Gigguk.
i caught myself before i drowned in your thoughts. i was deep deep in thought. i was at ease. i love your videos. it makes me happy but in a very settle way.
Great video mate
Ozu! One of my favorite directors! I'm glad that you mentioned him.
I love her work. I have a screenplay that was inspired by her.
RCAnime.
I love you for this video
Brilliant video, man! I admire Yamada's work and hope to become a better artist myself in my own way
love your work ! it's so great to learn and fell inspired by the animation world !
I love your videos man, keep up the good work. I'm impressed by how much you know about film and how you spot and point out all these things for us.
Absolutely beautiful video. Amazing.
An amazing video talking about an amazing Director, keep it up RC

You did a great job with this one
Great video. It's really encouraging to see people like Yamada and even yourself who treat anime as a legitimate art form worthy of analysis and technique, both as a consumer and as a creator.
Great work, both of you.
Finally another video! I actually enjoy watching your videos a lot.
Your channel is very good, I learned things here, believe me.
Best vid yet... Good luck on your future video essays!!
Not sure if you will see this comment, but thank you for helping me lift my head up after my SAT scores... hehe :) Love your videos, I wish I can discuss about anime once in a while.
You are my favorite youtuber and youtube channel, this is what a great short documental it is
Probably one of your best videos, keep the diligent work up!
Didn't even know who Naoko Yamada was until I saw this video. Now she's in my favorites.
My favourite channel ❤️
I love the flow of this video, great job mate!
Literally just rewatched Tamako Love Story yesterday. Perfect timing.
This was beautiful.
Yamada is a legend
Stellar work, I love a good dive into influences
Oh yes! RC released a new video and on a KyoAni director no less, my favorite kind! Insta-like!
This is such a cool video.
I love your work
This is amazing. How insightful.
Bro i love every single one of your videos
you have an excellent taste in music my man

Her movies and TV series are simple but really moving
love your content man..
I love this video and it introduced me to Sofia Coppola too
Top tier music selection. Favorite director and good video :^)
Watched A Silent Voice because of this video today. It's an awesome movie! thanks :)
Your videos are amazing. I think of all the anime TH-camer i see, you put the most work into it. Atleast its more apparent.
Great video! And why has no one continued the obvious connection between Jesus & The Mary Chain and anime!
Wow loved all of the Lost in Translation music + a bunch of my fav series in one video
Just found your channel, its great! And its highly underrated and needs more attention. Thanks for great content!
it's really well done. your videos are very pleasant to watch. like, why isn't your channel popular?
You're awesome.
Awesome Breakdown.....
The girls of Kyoto Animation are so beautifully drawn!
I'd love to see a similar video on the infulences of satoshi kon
really nice !!
damn, that's a beautiful edditing
Yo you used a Kevin Shields song at the beginning holy shit dude
I really like this in deep videos about something I like. Makes me appreciate films alot more.
12:35 the beat gives me hot line miami flashbacks

Naoko Yamada is an Icon!
Yoooo that Lost in Translation OST!
Now thats what we call art
think u post so infrequently that u will be the first person i will turn on post notifications for
The lost in translation music in this video is amusing haha
Perfect timing after I saw Silent Voice this weekend, and recently finished Tamako. Rc makes the best anime analyses.
Did Yamada direct episodes of Hibike and Maid Dragon or were those just other KyoAni directors mirroring the style?
Yamada has varying influences over Hibike, but also directed specific episodes herself. She directed episode 8 of Maidragon.
beautiful
wow, this Quality IMPRessive
You know what I have not seen most of her work yet, but this makes me really want to try K-on. Her directing seems really impressive. Really well put together video. Granted I do wish there was a bit less spoiler heavy stuff XD Still one of your best videos yet.
not sure why digibro hated on you this is a great video
Huh, I really enjoyed this.
