It is because we are not completely posted. Same reason Japanese are becoming more popular too. Everything the west produces now is cliche Jewish nonsense to guilt trip with and people want to escape it.
I think a really interesting thing about Mymy is that her hair is orange. Her biological hair is black, but she'd probably tried to dye it blonde so she can "feel" Dutch. However, a curious thing about dying hair is that if you're too impatient and don't go in stages with such drastic changes such as black to blond, you often fall in orange. So this suggests that Mymy attempted to dye her hair blond but due to her inexperience and impatience, ended up with orange hair.
Or alternatively, she dyed her hair orange to show her Dutch nationalism, since the color orange is often associated with the Dutch royal family and even the old flag of the Netherlands had an orange stripe instead of red
@@edibleandsentientautomobil5396 After meeting a few Dutch people in the course of the last month, this makes a lot of sense. Orange everywhere with them people lol
Fun fact then, when she is questioned by the teacher about her obvious japanese origin and she screams, you can see her darker hair roots, as in her japanese roots, bit of a cool detail in my opinion
3:19 I would also like to add that for a few seconds at the dinner scene, you can see two older people sitting there, who could be Maya's parents. We also see Maya's mom in Maya's 16, which might be one of the person sitting there. The other person might be the father, who has a much whiter skin, so we can assume that Maya is mixed raced.
@@Batavian_Maya's mother is probably an Indo, in that case. That'd make her mother mixed too. People might think it's impossible, but I'm mostly Asian and have the genes for red hair and blue eyes. My beard even has red hair. So given the right partner and freakish chances, I could have a kid with red hair and blue eyes despite looking like I can't.
Vera isn't actually an alcoholic, she's drinking sparkling Juice. This is why they do the visual gag of her eating a sucker with a stick that looks like a cigarette later on because they're joking about her treating them like illicit substances.
As a native Dutch speaking person I feel so blessed being able to appreciate this show. I love the VA's and I adore the vocals from the outro song. I feel very sad though that studio massa wasn't able to achieve his goal in getting enough traction and funding to make this show into something big. It took him 7 years to finish this show and recently (beginning of 2024) he announced he will quit making content about it due to a burn out. I feel so sad that this happens but wish him the best in recovering and maybe someday this show gets enough traction it will fund the show into continuing. Also side note. Due to the cancelation of work and monthly donations studio massa decided to make all content (small comics, drawings and songs) freely available on google drive. I do recommend you watch all of this as it does include some lore.
Maya reminds me of me a lot. I sit in the bathroom at lunch. I have no friends. I used to be happy and relatively normal as a child. Porn addict. Absolutely denial about having autism. I can’t help but not interact with others and stay in my room while i didn’t want to play games or watch a movie with my family. Internet addict. I don’t really like how i am right now, maya was sort of a slap of reality to me.
The board provides, I really want more content of Ongezellig, very badly, would suck if studios avoid it because of its association with the shart and /co/ on 4chan
i dont think the actual show or creator has ties to 4chan or soyjakparty. the show itself has some edgy humor but no actual extremist views, so its pretty unfortunate that those communities latched onto it.
got me in to learning dutch ngl, also as an Indonesian myself I really at first didn't know that Maya supposed to be of Indonesian descend, well the more you know I guess. I also really hope that this animation got picked up cause it will also magnet in the anime watcher not just normal watcher. And I think it will cause a growth in indie animation.
It's definitely one of those bits of nonverbal storytelling that, similarly to coco's parents being Boers that were killing in the farmland attacks carried out by black militant groups, does not really shine through unless you're at least moderately read up on European history. That's part of what made this animation compelling to me when it came out even as an American.
@@noodle_tax Perhaps, but he is technically right in both of his hypotheses. Dutch _does_ have a common origin with English, and in the past 50 years the typical accent has become much more similar to an American accent (see: Gooise "r"). As a Canadian in the Netherlands I have a much easier time understanding young Dutch people than old people, because their accent is much closer to mine. And when I started learning Dutch, people overestimated my ability to speak because my accent sounded much more fluent than I actually was, probably because of the similarity between Canadian and modern Dutch accents. Other Canadians learning Dutch have noted the same thing.
I talked to these guys before and the show is VASTLY more popular with an international audience than the Dutch audience. The show didn't get really any traction here and was therefore not picked up.
7:27 Actually i don't think so, the alcohol she drinks is actually children's wine, a non-alcholic drink, and from how she pulls out a lollipop instead of a cigarette in the presentation it implies she's actually a sugar addict, with the gag being that the sweet things she eats resembling actual addictions, hope this helps😊
I'm way outside of the typical audience for this show, but I really enjoyed it. The characters are cool, and I'm glad that there is at least one Western European culture that isn't so taken over by acceptability politics like the UK. One day, humour like this should be the average; the type that you hear in conversations across the street or on the TV all the time. One can only hope.
@OG_Melxn Eh, I agree but with caution. I believe wholeheartedly in CANZUK if possible, but with regards to non-anglosphere colonies it should focus far more on mutual economy building and cannot be allowed to be a vector for mass immigration and replacement of Briton's in the anglosphere.
Also Coco getting so angry or emotional at being told 'better no friends then no parents' could be because she views herself as a member of the family but Maya is just here saying no you're not.
Apparently, Massa said that her mom is Chinese-Indonesian, and her dad is Dutch-Indonesian (albeit they are from very different provinces). I may be misremembering if her dad is actually Dutch, though. Edit: it's been confirmed through a document recently released that Maya's parents do not have Dutch blood. Her father, Ravi, is half North Brabant and half Hindustani-Surinamese. Her mother Soei is half Moluccan and half Chinese-Indonesian.
@@JHohenhauserhistorically, the Dutch colonists who settled in the Dutch East Indies during the era of colonialism did intermix with the local Indonesian population similar to how the Spanish did with the indigenous Americans, these mixed Dutch-Indonesian individuals became known as the “Indo” people; after Indonesian independence in 1949, many Indos along with the pure Dutch colonists immigrated to the Netherlands where they have lived since, which perfectly makes sense for Maya to be of Indonesian and Dutch descent if she is actually an Dutch Indo as Massa intended
"Deel" is pronounced closer to "Dill" than "Deal". A ton of letters have completely different pronunctiations in Dutch. Most Americans don't know this, which is why Dutch looks silly to them when written, but sounds like someone is speaking incomprehensible English when spoken.
yes that's propably why some of her sentences have double negations as that is more of a thing in south afrika, but besides that shes sounds perfectly dutch
I know it! the first time i saw Maya in VOC’s ship deck wearing that farmers hat, i know it right away that she is Indonesian. It just coincidence that the name Maya sounds kinda fit too well in Indonesian accent. I personally though the European names use their unique accent in their names, like when the dutch say “Van Gogh” it sounds like “van hokh” (feel sorry to anyone who didn’t relate or feeling cringe, it just my overrproud so please ignore it)
I feel like it's getting more traction in the Netherlands now as i suddenly found out about the show through Instagram reels. They were all relatively new accounts. I think it's a mistake for studio massa not to continue. It's clear the show has a dedicated following which means in theory that the succes of the show can only grow meaning that it still might be picked up by a larger studio if they simply keep the fandom alive with new content.
1:10 i don't think so, pretty sure it was created as a mix of practice and story telling stories. I have never heard studio massa talk about having it picked up
English and Dutch (specifically Frisian) are the closest related languages to one another. This is mostly because they're both Germanic languages. German might at first look and listen be closer, but grammar, origin and pronunciation are way closer to English. Outside of the English world, the Dutch are on percentage also the most able to hold a conversation in English. Funfact, sometimes English words are actually loanwords from Dutch instead of the other way around. French/Latin has also had a similar impact on both languages. Dutch does borrow words from English, but it's mostly for new inventions such as a television (televisie) or laptop (laptop) for example. Often after time these words did tend to get replaced, but in the digital world this happens less and less.
@@AllenIverson-to5uy For (us) Dutch people Manneke Pis is something we associate with Belgians (Brussels in particular). And there are often Belgian kids shows (like Kabouter Plop) on Dutch TV.
@@dodec8449 So, Manneke Pis is associated with Belgium and is part of Belgian pop culture, which is why it was part of the presentation about Belgium. Thank you for teaching me.
