Great edit, especially the correct/functional alignment of visuals with the beat is something that many editors are too lazy to do. I also love the choice of characters here, they do not fall into that grey zone like patrick bateman where he is 100% a psychopath and definitely not „literally me“, but the characters chosen are really great written characters.
This is why I like it when people choose the duo of Fight Club or Travis Bickle from Taxi Driver. It’s better when the characters have morals (in terms of looking up to as “literally me”, American Psycho is about how psychopaths (society) around a polite businessman turn him into a monster and no one cares.)
You missed the point of the movie/book if you think Patrick Bateman is a psychopath. If he resembles anything it would be a sociopath, but in reality he is a character which is just some out of control dude. The point is that the people around him are psychopaths. The ENTIRE point of the book, though, is that society is so caught up with themselves that they don't notice this mass serial killer wandering around in their midst. That is according to Bret Easton Ellis, the author.

Monster became my favorite show ever. I literally have spent hours unwrapping, reading and thinking about the underlying philosophy, the symbols used and every scene, EVERY SINGLE SCENE - and dialogue - and interaction means something or adds to something, it isn't just there.

@tumadrinaen5 I suggest to go with the anime, it has awesome soundtrack and such great voice acting in both JP and English (i preferred the jp tho because his angelic voice to me adds more to the harmless pretense :P) Manga is better in two things, you can flip though at own pace, anime might seem slow if you're used to shonen, and second is many of Johan's expressions. It wouldn't matter to most people but those expressions add up and support one of the key themes of the story.

There have always been random 15 year old MCs saving the world. It's Shonen. Anime still has many relatable characters now, they're just not in Shonen anime. Heck, even modern Shonen with MCs that save the world can have relatable protagonists, like Mob Psycho 100.

This video in particular was really well made and is only proof of my claims. Good stuff man.
@Clipped That is literally Incel logic right there. You have no idea the loneliness women feel; though similar, it is a different feeling that men like you have a hard time understanding. Their whole societal value is mostly seen through their physical appearances and not their merit. Can you even imagine? we all feel lonely. I’ve seen plenty of cases where people don’t give a shit about girls who are physically unattractive or doesn’t act well within their social bubble. Yes, men have higher Suicide death rate but female have higher Suicide attempts, the real difference is we’re just good at killing ourselves.
Damn, recognize most of these. Cowboy Bebop, Ergo Proxy, Texhnolyze, Monster, Fate:Zero, Steins;Gate, Samurai Champloo, Berserk, Ghost in the Shell, Serial Experiments Lain... Rest I haven't seen.
You have encapsulatd almost all the most impactful anime i have watched so far. And i'm really happy whenever i see love for Technolyze, Lain and Monster.
Watching this video really makes me realize that anime had a golden age in the 90s and 2000s I'm not saying that quality original anime aren't made nowadays, but they're fewer and far between now
I’ve seen most of the anime’s in this clip. And I just wanna thank my buddy for introducing me to anime through Evangelion, Ergo proxy, cowboy bebop and ghost in the shell etcetera… Also I actually saw Perfect Blue in theaters with my buddy which blows my mind to think about. First time I ever saw a re screening of a movie from the 90’s. Glad these were my introductions and I really wish I could watch all these again for the first time. Also fantastic video 👏
i like the "perfect blue" character at the end because it represents the mental illness needed to think like this and the idea of how your delusions dont match your reality (rumi appearance and mental wise)
They're just good characters. Written by real people. A great character always helps remind me that I'm not alone in this world. My "literally me" anime character is Roc from black Lagoon ngl. I'm always trying to help people and do the right thing even though I know it's pointless. "If there is no Robin Hood, then be Robin Hood... Anything's gotta be better than sitting around feeling sorry for yourself."
Yeah Rock fits well, this sinister nihilism and lonelyness that actually turns into something quite empowering with Rocks choice to actually play the power games in rouhanapur.
I appreciate the pacing of the editing of this video. A lot of other edits on this trend go way too fast and focus on transitions, but you actually get to see the characters and their faces for more than a split second here for a change.
God texhnolyze is such a perfect work of art. I love that you included it, you generally think of shinji, spike, guts, any of these depressed anime boys when you are trying to capture that listless void feeling, but man Ichise is something fundamentally deeper. The show brings out so well the visceral restless soul and how weary the human condition feels, especially in the kind of wayward masculine sense that feels so prevalent today. There are these feelings we get, stuff that doesn't have exact words for, stuff like being tired of being tired, lonely while surrounded with people, or staring at your bedroom ceiling thinking about everything but nothing at the same time. Somehow I feel like texh speaks to those things so powerfully. Those feeling coagulate into such a unique and powerful atmosphere that permeates through every corner of the bleakest abyss that is the world of texhnolyze. The show never directly touches on any of these things, compared to something like NHK, but man do the vibes really get to me like nothing else.
From my past experience in animes I came to a realization that anime for no doubt requires effort hard work consistency and a lot more the creators of anime put so much into them even after knowing that these are only fictional character yet they describe more feelings then real actors in movies.
Even tho I haven't watched all of them I just realized that these are the types of anime I was looking for. I just figured it out, I have them all on the special watchlist that I purposely save for the best moment. Even if I haven't watched them, I think I just got the vibe from it. And the welcome to the nhk I thought was Gon be just ok but it ended up as one of them. Great addition
@@Ksussybaka i purposely don't watch them immediately because it's like saving the best for last but instead I want like perfect mood for it since (I can't save it for last in a way)
The cut to Okabe gave me the most massive goosebumps and PTSD ever... Edit finally began to watch Monster and that Johann even appears here makes me anxious...
It’s not really a matter of “literally me” characters. What do all these characters have in common? The aesthetics of loneliness and hurt, trauma and unattainable peace. It’s the fact that we want to be like them because they survive and have lives regardless of how bad the world has treated them. It’s not healthy but it’s a fact that most young people feel hopeless and men most of all feel lost in a world that doesn’t regard them anymore as the “strong gender” or rewards them with a fulfilling job and a family.
Al fin alguien que habla de Kiritsugu, amigo, este personaje refleja lo que es la bondad en un ser humano, solo aquellos que sufren por los demás podrían entenderlo.
Omg it's literally me, I'm literally a 14 year old girl addicted to computers who is actually a program without physical form designed to unite humanity through singularity
man most montages have recency bias or random stuff not quite fitting the aesthetic, but this one is pure 10/10 pure gold, every single series shown holy shit, best montage yet by far of anyone doing this
I absolutely loved this movie! The acting was amazing and the storyline kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time. The special effects were also top-notch. I highly recommend this film to anyone who loves action and adventure. Well done to the entire cast and crew!
*”What ever happens, happens”* don’t go dwelling on one thing, there’s nothing you can do to something that’s already been done. Instead, find ways to make it better and improve. Learn from it and move on. At the end of the day, we are all human, we make mistakes. And we only live once.
Wow, 4:3 looks so gosh darn awesome in high definition. And we never knew just because all the 4:3 media was produced way before HD became commonplace. Every frame in this compilation is a beautiful work of art.

I’ve seen plenty of cases where people don’t give a shit about girls who are physically unattractive or doesn’t act well within their social bubble. Yes, men have higher Suicide death rate but female have higher Suicide attempts, the real difference is we’re just good at killing ourselves.
@Clipped you know that women are humans too and feel human emotions like loneliness, right?
Glad to see some Ergo Proxy, it's one of the most underrated animes out there.
Great song and compilation. Glad you fit in an underrated gem like Texhnolyze in there!

Спасибо 😀
Да хранят тебя боги аниме!
Нереально хорош
ультра супер дупер мега хорош
Thank you Russian man
Damn, recognize most of these.
Cowboy Bebop, Ergo Proxy, Texhnolyze, Monster, Fate:Zero, Steins;Gate, Samurai Champloo, Berserk, Ghost in the Shell, Serial Experiments Lain...
Rest I haven't seen.
Megalo box is the best out of them all
You have encapsulatd almost all the most impactful anime i have watched so far. And i'm really happy whenever i see love for Technolyze, Lain and Monster.
Thank you Madhouse,
I first watched perfect blue to Texhnolyze to Monster, which introduced me to the rest...
Lain is our generations leader
Watching this video really makes me realize that anime had a golden age in the 90s and 2000s
I'm not saying that quality original anime aren't made nowadays, but they're fewer and far between now
Ikr what you mean hand drawing is incomparable, so amazing 😍 now there's 3d and CGI
What I like to think is that atleast this era of Anime existed in the first place, but we should accept that there is no going back now.
I’ve seen most of the anime’s in this clip. And I just wanna thank my buddy for introducing me to anime through Evangelion, Ergo proxy, cowboy bebop and ghost in the shell etcetera…
Also I actually saw Perfect Blue in theaters with my buddy which blows my mind to think about. First time I ever saw a re screening of a movie from the 90’s.
Glad these were my introductions and I really wish I could watch all these again for the first time.
Also fantastic video 👏
Highly recommend Jin-Roh.
The protagonist is perfect for a sigma male edit.
Also, extra point for finding a hidden gem.
Jin-Roh is a fantastic movie.
@@2minuss It's one of my favorite.
If I can only recommend one anime film for my whole life.
I would choose JIn-Roh.
Lol. I love that movie to, but bro just unironically used the word sigma male 🗿🗿
@@scottgimple8107 🗿
@@YangD-082 have u watched lain
These are some of the best anime ever made in a 1,5 minute clip
A nice change of pace from the usual stuff
This goes super hard I love each and every character shown in this video the feeling that cant be explained comes from them.
welcome to the nhk and monster has to be two of my most favourite animes to ever exist. yall should give it a shot
To be fair everything here is top of the class , everyone should give every last one of them a shot
@@proudfatherofadeadweightso5715 Evangelion and berserk, really?. The rest are top tier though.
I loved Monster. I think I've done about 3 episodes of NHK but it was a little too slow for me. Maybe I should give it another go sometime.
@@moondrip2163 NHK too slow but you loved Monster? Okay then
@@bobopatchnosuke229 evangelion is literally the face of anime.
i got chills when joe came on, glad to see ppl still remember&appreciate him
Beautiful edit. Thank you for this.
i love how its "literally me" instead of "literally us". Cuz no matter how identical we think we are, we're different.
YESSSS TEXHNOLYZE GETTING A LITTLE RECOGNITION
And ergo proxy too. Very nice.
Satou is definitely the most relatable to me out of this bunch of characters. Nice video
I’m fifteen episodes into Texhnolyze. I’m kinda scared to finish it.
It's kinda slow in the middle, but last episodes are mindblowing
@@fijjiffifjfijfi I know
the last 5-6 episodes were the best part for me. Really solid ending too
Glad to see people still watching Texhnolyze.
Well the last 2 episodes are probably some of the greatest pieces of writing in anime history
the old animes are the real sigmas.
If there's something all these anime share in common it's this: The theme about having to find our own purpose in life.
i like the "perfect blue" character at the end because it represents the mental illness needed to think like this and the idea of how your delusions dont match your reality (rumi appearance and mental wise)
Shinji is the character that noone wants to admit they are but everyone has a little bit of shinjiness to them
exactly
Nah thats just you😅
They're just good characters. Written by real people. A great character always helps remind me that I'm not alone in this world.
My "literally me" anime character is Roc from black Lagoon ngl. I'm always trying to help people and do the right thing even though I know it's pointless.
"If there is no Robin Hood, then be Robin Hood... Anything's gotta be better than sitting around feeling sorry for yourself."
Yeah Rock fits well, this sinister nihilism and lonelyness that actually turns into something quite empowering with Rocks choice to actually play the power games in rouhanapur.
I agree with u but if u have watched the black Lagoon ova you'd know that even Rock changed and became a "corpse" like everyone else in the end
@@lelouch5157 and if you'd have read the manga you'd know that was just a facade he put on to cleanse the city of said corpses
@@chargyisonline7790 so he didn't become a 'corpse', that's kind of a letdown ngl, but yh, it's good that he stuck up to his old self ig
@@lelouch5157 though he is way more neutral now, so his dream of cleansing the city was kind of put on permanent hold
Parabéns pelo edit cara, esse instrumental do The perfect Girl é perfeito pra edit nesse estilo tanto filme como anime também.
Ola depressivo encontrado em vídeo grimgo
The fact you included Texhnolyze... your man-of-culture-hood reaches deep my friend..
I had completely forgotten about perfect blue and you just gave me the most insane flashbacks with that creepy smile at the end... Goosebumps all over
I appreciate the pacing of the editing of this video. A lot of other edits on this trend go way too fast and focus on transitions, but you actually get to see the characters and their faces for more than a split second here for a change.
My man is definitely a huge anime fan with all these banger masterpieces
Incredible edit. The transitions are beautiful.
God texhnolyze is such a perfect work of art. I love that you included it, you generally think of shinji, spike, guts, any of these depressed anime boys when you are trying to capture that listless void feeling, but man Ichise is something fundamentally deeper. The show brings out so well the visceral restless soul and how weary the human condition feels, especially in the kind of wayward masculine sense that feels so prevalent today. There are these feelings we get, stuff that doesn't have exact words for, stuff like being tired of being tired, lonely while surrounded with people, or staring at your bedroom ceiling thinking about everything but nothing at the same time. Somehow I feel like texh speaks to those things so powerfully. Those feeling coagulate into such a unique and powerful atmosphere that permeates through every corner of the bleakest abyss that is the world of texhnolyze. The show never directly touches on any of these things, compared to something like NHK, but man do the vibes really get to me like nothing else.
@@tryptaminus Yeah. And what's especially uncanny is that the themes of "Texhnolyze" are surprisingly relevant today.
0:10 I can’t stop replaying this video, and also there isn’t enough time to watch all these great shows, still watching Cowboy B. and Monster.
From my past experience in animes I came to a realization that anime for no doubt requires effort hard work consistency and a lot more the creators of anime put so much into them even after knowing that these are only fictional character yet they describe more feelings then real actors in movies.
Even tho I haven't watched all of them
I just realized that these are the types of anime I was looking for. I just figured it out, I have them all on the special watchlist that I purposely save for the best moment. Even if I haven't watched them, I think I just got the vibe from it.
And the welcome to the nhk I thought was Gon be just ok but it ended up as one of them. Great addition
watch the first and meglobox
if you havent watched any of that you're either a child or some turbo normie bruh
@@Ksussybaka Why you so toxic bro, get a girlfriend.
@@bobopatchnosuke229 this is who he is talking about, people like you
@@Ksussybaka i purposely don't watch them immediately because it's like saving the best for last but instead I want like perfect mood for it since (I can't save it for last in a way)
The cut to Okabe gave me the most massive goosebumps and PTSD ever...
Edit finally began to watch Monster and that Johann even appears here makes me anxious...
all these anime are freaking awesome
It’s not really a matter of “literally me” characters. What do all these characters have in common? The aesthetics of loneliness and hurt, trauma and unattainable peace.
It’s the fact that we want to be like them because they survive and have lives regardless of how bad the world has treated them.
It’s not healthy but it’s a fact that most young people feel hopeless and men most of all feel lost in a world that doesn’t regard them anymore as the “strong gender” or rewards them with a fulfilling job and a family.
Thats literaly m.y taste in anime. Thank you, I actually didn't watch a cople out of those, so now I know what to watch.
I dislike Evangelion and berserk, rest are absolutely amazing.
1970-2010 was the golden age of anime.
Who agrees?
everyone agrees
Even earlier than 1990 to be honest
SAO killed anime
@@kchikwete it didnt have that much of an impact
I Agreed with you, mate
Seeing Mugen and Kiritsigu really pulled at my heart strings
Al fin alguien que habla de Kiritsugu, amigo, este personaje refleja lo que es la bondad en un ser humano, solo aquellos que sufren por los demás podrían entenderlo.
@@1TipoNormalcouldn't have said it better myself brother
Omg it's literally me, I'm literally a 14 year old girl addicted to computers who is actually a program without physical form designed to unite humanity through singularity
thanks for awesome ladies in this awesome edit!!
I'm glad someone remembered Re-L. Underrated waifu and a great character I could write an essay on.
When they added underrated female characters too,My respect for them :
*increases 1 billion times more*
Atmospheric and relaxing
man most montages have recency bias or random stuff not quite fitting the aesthetic, but this one is pure 10/10 pure gold, every single series shown holy shit, best montage yet by far of anyone doing this
none're gonna talk about how seamless this transition is 1:11
Glad someone pointed it out
even better is the one where it zooms into johans eye and then transitions to Okabes and divergence madness
@@toothpicvk0:58 ✅
@@IwhowasdatXD960 yuh exactly.
So frkn cool
For real that transition to Mugen was fire
I would add Ichigo and David from Edgerunners too, I think they both are very realistic main characters in which people can see themselves
Welcome to the N.H.K. was ahead of it's time.
Maybe in a western perspective, but the hikikomori phenomenon was an acknowledged thing already in the very early 2000s and late 90s in japan
I absolutely loved this movie! The acting was amazing and the storyline kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time. The special effects were also top-notch. I highly recommend this film to anyone who loves action and adventure. Well done to the entire cast and crew!
so glad nhk/ sato is here, because this anime is so underrated and good
*”What ever happens, happens”*
don’t go dwelling on one thing, there’s nothing you can do to something that’s already been done. Instead, find ways to make it better and improve. Learn from it and move on. At the end of the day, we are all human, we make mistakes. And we only live once.
All of these animes are bangers.
pleasantly surprised to see texhnolyze featured in here... best anime ive ever seen. ridiculously underrated
Wow, 4:3 looks so gosh darn awesome in high definition. And we never knew just because all the 4:3 media was produced way before HD became commonplace. Every frame in this compilation is a beautiful work of art.
«Cowboy Bebop» and «Samurai Champloo» is my love forever
This is pretty rad actually
