- A way too deep analysis of anime openings. This week, we still remember the incredibly long full name of the show we watched that day.

"If you've seen the show, just watching the Opening can bring you dangerously close to tears."
Shut up I'm not crying.
😭😭😭😭😭😭
Me too
Those ninjas are cutting onions again
CURSE YOU ONION NINJAS
;-;
@@Silk0926 they're in my damn house too.
Damn
I don’t know what to do
To laugh or to cry
I am moved when I enter the second lap after I finished seeing everything
A-1 (Clover Works) did a very good job
Anohana: the feels we felt that that day ;-;

T-T
it was so painful that you need to point out THAT day. You even used two thats if "that" makes sense.
Pierce Fitzgerald ANOHANA INSIDE JOKE!
Am I human, I didn’t cry but I did feel great sadness
5:02 there's only a handheld shake because the animator couldn't stop crying
y e p
I'm trying to hold back tears watching this that dam song 😭
Really? 😭😭😭
"Because she's dead" "forget-me-nots" "memories" "fades away"
THE WORD CHOICES ARE PAINFUL. I CRIED. DAMN.
Okay I've watched anohana more than three times and I just found out that it has a second op
+Kat Genouzou me too, where it appears?
I think it was only for the re run in Japan.
Yes the 2nd opening was for the re-run. It was the same with Sould Eater, it got a 3rd opening when the series got their re-run as well.
Is it possible to watch the second opening?
same.
I seriously teared up just from watching this video
+Tyler MN
ah, the feels. :,)
+Tyler MN dammit...
arf, "I know right"... snif !
Same.
Omg, I was sobbing so bad
[SPOILERS COMING]
.
Something I noticed after watching this video is that the shirts Poppo wears in the OPs seem to have forget-me-not flowers on them, with the only exception being the shirt he wears at the end of the second OP. Seems to be a great physical metaphor for him being unable to let go of the guilt he carries over what happened to Menma, and by the time we reach the end of the last OP, he was able to move on. Plus, not only is his shirt different, but the necklace he wore with the flowers from the spot where Menma died is gone in his last shot as well.
Amazing to see all the little details that just go over your head when you rewatch these things. Awesome videos! Really gets me thinking about all the details animators put into their works.
You must be every English teachers wet dream. Love your videos bro.
Wy ?
This comment is so good lol
Nino Joel, I feel like you're not. Basically, since he is good at being able to understand what is happening in this OP and all the meanings behind it, he is then an "English teachers wet dream". Like no offense but I feel like you failed English for not being able to understand such a basic joke.
Qwapy try not being a dick.
MariNate he isn’t. He’s spitting facts 😭😭
You ruined the sky for me.
Now I can't look at it without thinking of Menma. ;-;
CatandMouse "you found me" trying to make it worse xD
And if there are clouds.. sunshine girl
I'll never look at ops the same again
I'm impressed with how you fully tore the OP apart and made, so far as I can tell, not a single fallacious point. That level of investigation and interpretation is something of a rarity in this community.
WAIT!!!! THIS IS A SERIES?! WHAT?! That's crazy! I watched the movie for it without knowing that it was a series... I even cried at the movie, imagine at how much I would have cried if I watched the show before the movie. Well... I'll be back to this in a few days when I finish watching Anohana... God dammit, I literally just finished Your Lie in April too...
Meanwhile, I watched the series without knowing there was a movie. xD
Well the series predates the movie by two years, so...
did you watch the series yet?
Haha! :p
holy shit i watched "Your lie in april" before Anohana
THERES AN EPILOUGE MOVIE? AAAAAAH I NEED TO WATCH
Welp.. i cried... again
Same
+Lexie From roblox
Clannad AS wasn't sad tho
awildmoose Clannad AS was sad but anohana was a lot more sad
Thank you for getting me into this anime. Thank you so much.
You are very welcome.
I also started watching Anohana because of this video, and I also have fallen in love with it, to the point of watching it all in one go. It's absolutely incredible.
"can bring your dangerously close to tears"The man speaks the truth!
Anohana always makes me cry, even if I'm just talking or listening to something about it
Watching this show genuinely made me feel like I lost a very close friend. I'm grateful for the feeling and I don't think I'll ever forget it.
I love the way you analyze OPs. It's really concise and effective. On the subject of anime making people cry, for me, the first time an anime made me cry in years was in the Tsubasa Cat arc of Bakemonogatari, when the meaning of the ED was explained. Made me cry like a baby.
"If you've seen the show just watching the opening can bring you dangerously close to tears."
Oh trust me, me I wanna sob every time I watch it.
Am I the only one who was sobbing at the end of episode 11? Because I mean,
t h a t h u r t
The symbolism you've identified is pretty mind blowing, glad I watched this.
When you talked about how it could tug at your heartstrings, I was thinking, "Yeah it can, just watching this analysis video is making me remember with bittersweet fondness".
The way you analyze these openings is really amazing.
I'm almost 18 years old guy and this opening makes me cry so easily
This and Clannad gave me so many feels 😭
+PSI Gale Ayyyy moku-chan :^)
Jordan Nexhip
(-_-)
+Jordan Nexhip Well it gave me feels too
PSI Gale I recommend you to watch both seasons of Little Busters!
Both Clannad and Little Busters were written by Maeda Jun
I still admire and respect the level of analysis done in each of these episodes. Every point makes complete sense most of the time and doesn't make me question a thing. Great video.
Another great video.
Wonderful job as usual!
Everything about AnoHana just tears me up, and having the in-depth explanation just magnified those feelings so much more.
I love how you review anime openings.... as in seriously!
It speaks volumes, both of the series itself and of your analysis, that this video brought me close to tears. Thank you.
I never would’ve found this masterpiece if it hadn’t been for you. Thank you, and I mean it, this is the second anime that made me cry and feel super emotional. This is in my top 3, maybe even my favorite. Thank you.
Love this series. You're always giving me more respect for the series I already love, great job
Sorry, I just have to say something. I love this small series you have created. After this I watched Anohana and discovered a new world I love, I often find myself looking back at these videos. Remembering the tears is he's for the whole of the find episode. Same with Your Lie in April, although I had already watched it before it still made me see something deeper within the anime. Something I had never yet seen before. Well done, you have done well at making me love these animes more than I ever could before
Thank you so much for making this! It sparked an interest that I will always be thankful for. I watched the one about Your Lie In April, and I saw this in the suggestions column and watched it, even though I've never seen Anohana. Then yesterday I finally finished the last episode of Anohana, and it is one of the best anime I've watched ever.
I think your channel is becoming one of my favorites. I LOVE anime ops so much and you're the first person I've seen to talk so much about them!
This in depth review was so freaking amazing, you give really a time to analyzed the op, very informative and detailed, it makes sence.
Dude your videos are awesome I'm looking foward to see more of this.
Keep up the amazing job !
Another amazing video! I don't know if you do requests but I'm going to keep shouting to see the Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei OPs in this format.
CrimsonPhoenixBen one of these days, definitely.
Mother's Basement Yes! I'll be looking forward to it.
"The onions that we cut that day"
DUDE PLEASE MAKE MORE OF THESE!!
my friends and I love these, and would love to see more :D
This anime sent me into a very deep depression after finishing, comparing it to my own life, that's how you know it's good
Dude a depression is never good you make me sick. When you feel so bad you can be called depresed it is not fun or good it is bad and scary. You have no idea wher you are talking about
dani heyl I wasn't saying depression was good, I was saying the show was very good for being able to pull that off, sorry for offending you.
@@daniheyl4537 damn a 2020 emily before 2020 holy shit
After rewatching anohana I can rlly appreciate the OP
Always have, always will
i honestly enjoy all of your videos you make. keep up the good work!
Yet another quality video, it boggles me that you don't have more subs
Thanks for this vid. I'd never even heard of this before but this convinced it was worth a shot. Boy, were you right :'(
The manner in which he carries out his in-close review of what would otherwise for the most part be watched mainly for its beauty, and not for the meanings behind it, is done excruciatingly well, I have to say. Props to that! He delivered every little keen detail that the animation has to offer with great precision and accuracy that it almost felt as though a literature professor was speaking, and I was sitting within the same class (or lecture as you may call it) with many other like-minded individuals, whom have all watched the same animation as me and are well informed in the Japanese culture. One of which I have to point out was the usage of the word “hikikomori,” referring to Jintan, which means “shut-in.” Keep up the good work! I just subscribed to your channel, and I’m expecting more thoroughly explained meanings from pictures from you. I mean that as in pertaining to the saying, “a picture is worth a thousand words.”
'Anohana is the only anime that made me cry"
Youre not wrong, buddy youre not wrong....
Good job man! Still loving these videos. Keep them going!
Maan, i was so close to crying during this video. Great job man! I've gotten a completely new look on openings lately, thanks to you!
A compelling and deep analysis, thanks for that. I hadn't seen the Circle Game OP so this really helped.
These op's are wonderful works of art. Great analysis. Its wonderful how op's can be stories within themselves
I already love this channel
Thanks for this video. I know it’s a bit old and a comment like this probably won’t be seen, but it really changed me. I watched this video before I watched the anime, and after seeing the careful detail in the op’s I knew I had to see it. A little over a year and a half ago my best friend passed away. I’ve had a lot of issues with it, since he was the most important person in my life, and I really struggle with the big days(his birthday, the day he died, etc.). Immediately I felt a connection to Jintan that I haven’t felt with any other character ever. He seemed to be feeling the same things I was feeling. He loved Menma, I loved my best friend. He was a shut in who didn’t care about school or his future. I’m the same way- even if I still go to school and try to pass, I still don’t really care about how it turns out.. Watching Jintan slowly start to find closure with the rest of the super peace busters, I saw myself in all of them and their struggles with Menma’s death from so long ago. I cried almost the entire time I was watching the show and it’s helped me so much. It made me feel less stranded with my feelings of loneliness and guilt for something I couldn’t have changed, and I don’t think I would’ve found Anohana if I hadn’t seen this video first. So thank you again. You’ve helped a kid deal with some really heavy shit.
(His name was Lukas by the way. He’ll be 17 April 26th of this year. I’m sure he would’ve liked your channel too, we have really similar tastes)
You're the reason I watched this show so I'm blaming the tears on you, ok?
I think you were the only one praising Anohana that I’ve seen so I have to thank you for showing me this. Secret base song still makes me cry.
I cried so hard while watching this show and now everytime I hear the music my eyes tears up immadeatly.💗💕
It's been a while since I've seen a show this deep
my god man, good job
Thank you so much this got me into the anime,and watching the anime made me happy at hard times...thank you.
I just binged this on netuflixu and geez i slept on this for way too long
I swear that MB did another longer video about Anohana and all the emotions that go into it and I loved that video. I’ve been looking for it everywhere and I don’t know why it’s no longer up. 😭
It got taken down. I have to dispute to get it back up
I've been waiting so long for this ^_^
This is one of my favorite anime mostly because when i watched it not knowing the context of the story or anything about it at the time my grandma passed away and this show helped a lot for me. During that time a hold in my heart for these personal reasons and this op is something i listen to every once in a while.
I basically only watched this analysis for the part where Tsuruko turns to look at the kids but Yukiatsu doesn't even seem to notice, only turning to see Menma; the part where the characters turn to look back at Jintan, who is against a whitescreen with Menma; and the part at the end where they indicate that Menma is still very much part of the dream past, unlike everyone else.
just watching this analysis has brought me dangerously close to tears
I was just going down the list of episodes, having them play in the background while I study. Then this one comes up. I've only watched Anohana once, about three years ago. I had a hard time keeping myself from crying just from listening to and half watching the OP breakdown. Anohana was built to make me cry, and it works so well that just hearing someone talk about the OP made me tear up...
Wow! I've always loved the OP to AnoHana, and I'm big on analyzing animation (to the point where I want to make a career out of it), but I'm usually mostly paying attention to the actual content of the show. You make some great points!
Just watching this brought tears to my eyes. I love this anime so much. It's one of the amines I truly love and enjoyed even though it brought me to tears one too many times.
Is this bad that I started to tear up just watching you talk about this? AGHHH. This show is so sad. I was bawling on the stairs while I watched it
Wow, this is from 2015! I just realized I've never seen any of his "old" videos before--this analysis is OUTSTANDING!
You made me cry. I hate you. I cried the whole video. You are awesome. Never stop to produce this kind of material, so deep, Meaningful and well structured. Then again, you are awesome.
you make really good videos. I discovered you before TBFP mentioned you on their popcast. I thought your channel would get a bigger bump after that. at any rate keep doing what you do. with content as good as yours I'm sure your time is coming.
You almost made me cry with this video, good job.
Just watching Aoi Shiori makes me want to cry, AnoHana is seriously one of the most heart wrenching (and heart warming) anime I've ever seen.
idk why but i had tears while this guy point out alot of point and detail that i dont know in the op,which makes me even more sad.
I didn't even watch the series and I almost cried while watching this video. I loved the OP and I'd always watch it, now I finally understand why I found it so beautiful.
It hurts so bad. It's been two years and it still hurts.
I have so many anime I want to watch because of how you analyzed the OPs.
Really your going to do Welcome to the NHK! Sweet, cant wait.
I dont know how you can say all that things without crying.
Well damn...He really examined the intro😂
mann! wt a great defination!!! u r a sage!!!! nice man! nice defination of tht pic at first i ove it!
Who on earth are you? How deep your consideration is! I haven't heard such a detailed explanation about the Anohana opening even in Japan. I'm really sorry that I did not understand much of what you are saying through lack of my English skills, but I understand how amazing you are.
He literally is explaining everything in this opening and it's fine if your English isn't
This TH-camr is that one kid that enjoyed his English teacher explain deeper meanings of stuff that we thought were superficial
totally made me cry in the last episode without even noticing I was crying 😭
I almost cried, but didn't... The only anime that has managed that so far was Angel Beats
Edit: I have now watched Clannad, rip my heart...
same.
Angel Beats and Shigatsu wa Kimi No Uso (Your Lie in April) are the 2 anime that really made me cry like a little baby. Clannad: AS, Anohana, and ToraDora (Yes, ToraDora nearly made me cry) were all very close though.
EnderbornNinja Same Only Angel Beats And Your Lie In April Made Me Cry
I feel like a dick Angel beats didnt make me cry much compared to Anohona and your lie in april. And clannad was the saddest thing ever like omg
plastic memories
Love these. These are great. Definitely should try Clannad/ Clannad AfterStory opening, those have a lot of hidden meaning in them as well!
Irrapture I mean... only after story really has a big hidden meaning in it
please review the bakemonogatari openings!
I second this! They are some of the best.
yes
+salmon inlake 5 hours long video ha ha ha...
+salmon inlake brilliant idea yes
I cryed for all video.. I miss you Menma! 😢😢😢
The only anime to ever make me shed a tear...*cries thinking about it*
For a month or so after I watched the entire Anohana series, I'd cry every time I watch the opening. In the sense that I'd actively seek it out and cry. Again and again
omg, have to rewatch this and cry again
I didn't know that this op was so good and was able to draw you in so good I always taught that the op had something really special about it before watching this.
There were a couple of anime that made me cry with my tears making the ocean raise 10 feet, but two specifically when I was going through a particularly hard and depressing part of my life. Those two anime were Clannad (and after story) and Anohana when my mom died from cancer and when my best friend was killed in an accident, respectively.
How far you've come. The quality of This video vs the Anohana Overview video is obvious.
Just found your channel. Awesome stuff! Keep it up!
I literally just finished this an hour ago and I was crying so much in the second half of the last episode, it was amazing yet really sad
Such a good analysis
Oh gawd, I finally watched Anohana. Soooooooo many tears.
Anohana is my favourite anime for the reason that like you, its the only anime that i ever cried at. I loved it.
Just watching this is making me cry. Anohana hits hard, guys.
It's not just analyzing these op, ur something else
