Bro black star is the reason I react to life the way I do. In my mind, “If no one is gonna sing your praises, do it yourself”, & “Apathy is the neighbor of Tranquility”. First quote meaning: Faith in one’s self is always a priority over the validation of others. The Second meaning: Your reactions to an event is what defines your character and builds confidence.
Direction is more important than consistency because being consistently wrong is worse than being sometimes right. I.e. Consistency is a sound mind and conscience, or self belief. Is your direction correct? The most important thing to ascertain. Proverbs 4:23 KJV Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.
I stepped into something with no expectations and left with tears bro. I don't know you man but your monologue on the emptiness of succeeding and the impact of the death of your mother made me feel like you're an old pal. I find it hard to speak about my challenges and for you to have the confidence to speak on it in such a beautiful way gave me goosebumps bro.
Johnny I cannot express to you how great this video was well made and produced and shout to all the editors peeps as well they cooked. From the way you expressed ambitious about each character, the moment you talked about reaching your goal and then feeling empty as hell afterwards, the conversation with the mom thing ALMOST COOKED ME LIKE FUCK, and at the very end message remembering at the end of the day you can replace you because there can only be one. This honestly feels like a Netflix documentary the Johnny edition if that makes sense feels like it belongs in a museum or something. Videos like these are what we need more of on TH-cam and Im glad to meet someone who is very passionate about their artfrom like me love yah gang.
Mhmmm. Beautiful. First of I would like to show condolences to your loss. I wish you find peace in this life ❤ That aside though this video tied in with your past life really shows how deep your willing to go and this is what I've been feigning for. The depths of characters bit how they also affect us. It's not only soothing to hear but it speaks truth to our soul. A truly beautiful masterpiece bro. You work is a collection of your true self. Please keep going bro!
Characters are the most important aspect to me in any story. And the reason for that is they are the conduit for the emotions and experiences we face. I wanted to illustrate that through the script and show those things have affected me. Glad I was able to pull it off⭐️
When I clicked on this video I was expecting it to be another anime analysis I could listen to in the background and turn off my brain for but what I received is a TH-cam video so real that it made my eyes "water" more then pretty much any other youtube video. What you felt for 10K is how I felt for 100K, this idea that no matter how far I got I would never be satisfied with what I achieved. I stopped doing youtube because I loved myself and started doing it to at least try to fix myself. We're both creators so I get that external compliments may not mean as much to you as you'd probably like them too but this is a masterpiece of a video that I'd like to try to take the lesson from. Thanks for this :)
Johnny I can't express this enough brotha. The music,editing and pacing were amazing but the thing that hit the most is the meaning "theme" behind the video itself. Hope, ambition, determination, and commitment. You inspire me to want to improve as a creator and as a person despite the challenges that come with it. 🙏
In times like that, I often ask myself “If I never feel satisfaction despite achieving the world, do I at least feel satisfied with the actions I’ve made to improve it?” Thinking this way has greatly helped me mentally, because I can still acknowledge the issues in both life and with myself, but I can still reflect on just what kind of progress I made that day. If I’m a cashier, I technically helped provide for customers and their families, if I’m a construction worker I helped make shelters for others to use to better their lives, if I’m a teacher I help educate the youth on how to handle themselves and can give decent life advice to get them through the tough times(hopefully). So as long as I can morally justify why I’m doing what I’m doing, then my time isn’t being wasted simply because I don’t feel any strong emotions about it. I simply made a difference on a scale I can truly never comprehend, and that’s something I can live with.
@@obarich You’re absolutely right, it just helps me not think lesser of myself or downplay my impact on others. I personally want to do something to improve the lives of others in some way, and it’s a soothing thought that regardless of how small of a difference I made, I at least attempted to do so. Even if it’s just limited to being a friendly face in a world that lacks a reason to smile for most people.
I agree with the sentiment. Little actions change the world everyday and finding happiness in that can be helpful. I try to look at life like that. Help people where I can. Even in small ways
This is the first video I watch form this man and its got WAY better quality than many of the videos with similar themes and ideas that I've seen and have way more views and exposure than him. I hope you get more exposure in the near future because your art is not only the highest quality but also very inspiring.
Yt be blessing me with these anime reviewers. Plus shoutout for the small edits especially the little clips of Franklin cuz not many ppl giving Snowfall the respect it deserves since it's so under the radar. Lowkey, it's deserves to be on the top spot of greatest pieces of television of all time next to other shows like Breaking Bad, Peaky Blinders and The Wire. Edit: Watched your video more than 5 times now and I gotta say, I respect the grind in your work and the overall passion for your craft of editing. I can almost see the care and limitless respect for references for other shows, movies, tv shows, non-anime show, other anime characters etc. Secondly, to point out something about Sasuke in general, because my very first anime was Naruto and for me, I grew up in an loving family but I'm more of a loner, an introvert and an outcast to my peers and ngl, the moment I saw Sasuke Uchiha and what the storyline was for him from his parents being killed by Itachi, being the only survivor to the Uchiha Massacre to knowing the full truth of what really happened. I understood him completely from Day 1. No-one from Team 7 really understood his real feelings at one point. Not even Naruto until the reality hit him when Jiraya died. Plus the fight between Danzo and Sasuke WAS needed and I was all for it. He started the whole thing and gotten Itachi to kill every single man, woman and child of the Uchiha clan all just to get the Sharingan eyes into his arm. That's downright evil and he got what he deserved from the last living member of the Uchiha clan. And lastly, my condolences for the loss of your mother and for finding inner peace through reading Vagabond. Gotta check it out myself along with the other samurai recommendations you provided for the last part of the video so thanks again. Lookong forward to more of your content.
Came here looking for some inspiration for my next project, ended up coming away from this video deeply moved unexpectedly and rethinking the reasons I make anime videos myself. It goes without saying but this is a phenomenal video.
Maaaaaan, this video. I don’t have the right words: raw, inspiring… From the banging intro to the cinematography, the editing, voiceover to the absolute feels. Whew. Got me feeling like I just watched an epic show. ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Vagabond is such a intense and profound manga that changed my life in similar ways as well. For me the cliche teaching that you ought to be kind didn't felt cliche at all. As Takwan says "You have grown kinder, Musashi. All truly strong people are kind. " And that isn't about being kind just to someone else, but to yourself as well, to your suffering, your pain. Kindness is indeed the greatest strength and the greatest weapon to wield. After all, being invincible is just a word.
Oh forsure! And I think that was something I was able to appreciate after reading it. Sometimes you’re not going to understand something until later. Thats how certain quotes hit for me. With time, age, and experience, words of wisdom will reign true once you’ve come to a point where they make sense
Hey bro I know I’m late to the party but I just wanted to say this cuz of how much I love your videos. When it comes to this anime expression thing on TH-cam, you’re unequivocally the best in my opinion. Appreciate the work
This is awesome stuff, and you seem like a cool dude. Thank you for sharing so much about yourself in this video. It resonated a lot with me having felt much the same way throughout my life. Life is lonely a lot of the time, even with good friends and peers, and I hope one day you find your “equal” and your “way of the sword” and get some contentedness.
The section where you talked about your mother.. It was beautiful. I understood every word you put into it. I understand. And the very end of it... The part where you said "How do I be free?".. I genuinely started tearing up. I feel those same feelings. This is one of the best videos ive ever seen. An anime video about ambitious characters disguised as a commentary about life an true ambition, and personal experience; I've truly never seen anything like this. You did good, JS.
I do strongly hope that everyone can find that one character that is a self reflection of yourself. It almost took me to long to find that character but when I finally did. It saved me, made me feel a sense of love and self growth. I just want to say. Thank you Johnny Star for making this video, I was able to look onto a part of my life that was my lowest as well and something I am still not quite over yet. While we did not go through the exact same thing. I felt I saw a lot of myself in you. So, thank you. You might not see this and thats fine. But I just needed to write this
I have a bunch of characters jumbled up almost like different pieces of a personality or brain like a puzzle I can't just choose one But if I had to its tobey maguire spiderman (Good heart, failed and once gave up etc the tribute videos do it more justice) shoutout to jason todd sasuke deathnote duo etc.. whos your character
@@TyShark6810 thats very unfortunate..Idk this subaru character but whats the context is he failing at life or when he actually succeeds he cant accept the achievement..theres people with low self value and need peoples validation vs people who have self confidence but such a lack of discipline they have nothing to be confident for..which are you no judgements ofc
A self-reflective video essay that relates your personal experience with media that is meaningful to you and also of interest to me. If I wasn’t already subscribed, I would do so now because of this. 👍
Takes guts to intertwine personal stuff with your opinion on media. But doing it correctly is how we understand people more and appreciate the medium that is media,that much more. Great vid buddy
Shit man. Damn. I wish I had the words and comprehension to express how I'm feeling after watching this video, anyone with dreams/aspirations/ambition towards a goal can heavily relate to everything here. You gave me something that's gonna take me so much time to process - the most prominent feeling being reminded of my pursuit and dedication towards wanting to be the greatest I can be within my niche/sphere, the struggle and fight of doing this shit but also the emptiness that I subtly know is coming despite doing everything you can think of to make it work, working yourself to the bitter end or getting mad at yourself for not just yet being good enough and wanting so bad to see just how far you can go. 😂You got me diggin deep within myself right now bro and brought out all the lingering feelings that I couldn't properly express or comprehend and I can't thank ya enough for it - I'm sure like many others, this video really touched the soul
I've never seen this channel before in my life, but at the end of the video I was in tears. This was honestly one of the most beautiful video essays I've ever watched, it spoke to me on so many different levels. Thank you Johnny, you gained another subscriber.
Thank you for sharing your journey on finding your true ambition in life. I learn something new every time I click on your videos and I truly appreciate the art you're creating and please continue creating.
bro i loved this, when ever you drop i vid i know it is just gonna be true art, that part about you wanting to be free made me cry and hit me at home cause i'm looking for that same true freedom and joy in life. This is a new era for you and i can't wait to see what you will cook up next.I don't care if it takes years on end cause i know it all worth it and will make cry tears of abouslte joy. Your always just hit different .
Any conclusion ending with Vagabond is the GOAT video essay. Another dimension of Vagabond is with the farming arc, meaning can be found in responsibility and hard work. One last thing about the topic of ambition, consider looking into putting ambition above all else, someone like Griffith who will sacrifice loved ones for ambition.
Dude... This video is so amazing. The deconstruction part hit home since I've felt similarly but man I hope you keep making videos cause they are always fun to watch
whew, what great writing and analytical work!!! I'm gonna need to watch all your videos now. Surprised bro does not have more subs and views on this video!
I'm not sure exactly what to say after listening to you speak about your life. I think it says a lot that you can speak so freely about experiences. I do know this. I am happy you are alive, and I am happy you made this video! My only hope is that you continue to come to the right conclusion in spite of all the difficulties you might face. To live.
I just wanna say thank you so damm much. this video has made me feel more understood than anything or anyone else my entire life. ever since my parents divorced at young age I've felt so alone, I've had and have friends and I like and liked them but I could never feel as though they understood me, at least not at this level. I used to want to find someone like me but I gave up long ago cause I didn't think id ever find anyone but this video right here reminded me of myself so much its as if were the almost the same person and I just wanna say thank you so much for that. thank you so much for letting me know someone feels the same way, that someone else has had the same thoughts that I have, that fear of my life not being worth anything, that fear of failure has just been something I think about daily, and I'm just so damm glad someone else understands it at this level I'm shaking and crying right now thank you so much. I wish you luck on your journey and I wish me luck on mine thank you
Are you real? I mean, there are actually other people like me? My parents too got divorced when I was little. I felt the same way about this video as you did, I'm literally crying right now even if it's not the first time I see this video. I don't know if you want, but I'd like to talk to you, even just on a discord chat
I love this video, not only did he make me appreciate these characters more, but I liked how vulnerable he let himself be, this video will always be in my heart, because of how emotional this was, I never thought a TH-cam video would make me feel something, thank you Johnny star, you make me feel more love when I watch something, u inspire me, thank you 🙏❤
Na big bro im here for it. You are literally one of the reasons why I've taken making my manga so seriously and ur I literally cannot wait for every single upload you make. Thank you so much for the awesome videos and just know you got my support fam. Thank you for exisitng
During a period in my life when I overly humble and self conscious black star taught me about the need to hype yourself up. Know what you are capable of even if others don’t see it, and be proud of it. And if you think something is beyond you, gaslight yourself until you surpass it 😂
Dude this seriously inspired me to make something like this. And i can relate because i strive for this one high school. But i hav to let my writing be as perfect. So i feel i need to be too. So even though you might not see this, Thank you for making this.
I dont have the words to articulate the experience I had watching this video, butI really appreciate the vulnerability you showed within this video. I can only imagine how difficult it was to make this video, but it was a privilege to watch this. I hope you never lose the love for making videos, because it radiates everywhere in the video.
Johnny ur videos aren't just TH-cam videos. They are genuine pieces of art. The overall editing and analyzing of each character is some of the best i've ever seen. I have never seen someone be able to connect a medium like anime to real life as well as you do. It's always a treat to watch your videos and learn from you and these characters
You never disappoint man I relate to this vid so much especially the part with being alone this is Definitely top 3 in the books for sure keep doing what u doing Johnny 🔥♥️
A single tear streamed down the gentle texture of my face as I got to experience this fantastic piece of media, I struggled to start this video, as if it were a delectable piece of cuisine that I wished to savor every single piece of.
I can't believe this drop right now. I have never seen any of your videos but right now I'm a low point of my life. Just confused and frustrated in myself. I feel my problem is I have no ambition and I hate myself for it. I related a lot to what you said and hopefully I find my answer one day but I promise I'll never give up.
This outlook and perspective helped me a lot. I've been, finally, have after years starting my novel. Each of these archetypes seriously helped me ground some of my most pivotal characters. Keep up the great work!!
Wow i am blowed away at the message and analogies using anime and how it connects to your own personal story such a beautiful presentation that is a work of art
insanely good video. Ive just put my best friend on to Vagabond and seeing him read everything for the first time is the closest ill ever feel to reading it that first time. Keep troopin johnny you truly are strong for sharing your personal shit
I can only say thank you, thank you for making this master piece of a video, but also, thank you for opening my eyes and making me crie, and realize what I didn't saw before, I'll remember your words for the rest of my life, thank you for making this video, I love your channel, and I hope that you can achieve whatever goal you want to pursue, have a nice day :]
Thank you Johnny, the journey of content creators sometimes feels fool hearted, doing anything to reach our deepest desires, but at the end of the day only one thing matters, our purpose. What it means to us rather than what it’ll do for us. Thank you for giving me a reminder on what this journey means to me.❤️ Also how tf will you top this shi😭

absolute cinema. also you had me tearing up in the deconstruction section. What a way to transition into Vagabond
This is genuinely the best opening to a video I have ever watched I got chills. This is true art! Be proud!

Thank you for sharing your journey on finding your true ambition in life. I learn something new every time I click on your videos and I truly appreciate the art you're creating and please continue creating.
This came out beautifully Johnny - Appreciate you letting me be a part of the vision brother ⭐
Our vision my guy, couldn’t do it without yah
bro i loved this, when ever you drop i vid i know it is just gonna be true art, that part about you wanting to be free made me cry and hit me at home cause i'm looking for that same true freedom and joy in life. This is a new era for you and i can't wait to see what you will cook up next.I don't care if it takes years on end cause i know it all worth it and will make cry tears of abouslte joy. Your always just hit different .
Masterpiece. Thank you for creating this for the world to see, as those who may need to hear these words, have in your art a place to find them
Any conclusion ending with Vagabond is the GOAT video essay. Another dimension of Vagabond is with the farming arc, meaning can be found in responsibility and hard work. One last thing about the topic of ambition, consider looking into putting ambition above all else, someone like Griffith who will sacrifice loved ones for ambition.
Such a joy when i get emotional with a video. Thank you so much for your work.
This was incredible. The best anime youtube video I've seen in years. Thank you for sharing your story.
Dude... This video is so amazing. The deconstruction part hit home since I've felt similarly but man I hope you keep making videos cause they are always fun to watch
This is probably one of the best youtube videos i’ve ever watched
It's a genuine pleasure to be a fan of your content
Thank you for your authenticity.
I think I need to read Vagabond, thank you for this excellent video. It's made me actually think about my ambitions and what I truly want to do.
first time watching your channel but GODDAMN will i be returning. amazing video brotha
whew, what great writing and analytical work!!! I'm gonna need to watch all your videos now. Surprised bro does not have more subs and views on this video!
I'm not sure exactly what to say after listening to you speak about your life. I think it says a lot that you can speak so freely about experiences. I do know this. I am happy you are alive, and I am happy you made this video! My only hope is that you continue to come to the right conclusion in spite of all the difficulties you might face.
To live.
Actually gave me tears, thank you for being here
was not expecting to cry when i opened up this video but im glad i watched it
I just wanna say thank you so damm much. this video has made me feel more understood than anything or anyone else my entire life. ever since my parents divorced at young age I've felt so alone, I've had and have friends and I like and liked them but I could never feel as though they understood me, at least not at this level. I used to want to find someone like me but I gave up long ago cause I didn't think id ever find anyone but this video right here reminded me of myself so much its as if were the almost the same person and I just wanna say thank you so much for that. thank you so much for letting me know someone feels the same way, that someone else has had the same thoughts that I have, that fear of my life not being worth anything, that fear of failure has just been something I think about daily, and I'm just so damm glad someone else understands it at this level I'm shaking and crying right now thank you so much. I wish you luck on your journey and I wish me luck on mine thank you
🫂
Are you real? I mean, there are actually other people like me?
My parents too got divorced when I was little. I felt the same way about this video as you did, I'm literally crying right now even if it's not the first time I see this video. I don't know if you want, but I'd like to talk to you, even just on a discord chat
@@RiccardoL I mean sure but I don't really have many social medias
Blue Giant fuck yeah. One of the best movie experiences I've ever had
I love this video, not only did he make me appreciate these characters more, but I liked how vulnerable he let himself be, this video will always be in my heart, because of how emotional this was, I never thought a TH-cam video would make me feel something, thank you Johnny star, you make me feel more love when I watch something, u inspire me, thank you 🙏❤
It's videos like this that make it easier to keep going
thank you, this was such a beautiful video
Bro this video touched me in a special way, I've never come across a video this meaningful
Na big bro im here for it. You are literally one of the reasons why I've taken making my manga so seriously and ur I literally cannot wait for every single upload you make. Thank you so much for the awesome videos and just know you got my support fam. Thank you for exisitng
During a period in my life when I overly humble and self conscious black star taught me about the need to hype yourself up.
Know what you are capable of even if others don’t see it, and be proud of it.
And if you think something is beyond you, gaslight yourself until you surpass it 😂
OH NAH THEY GOT THE WHOLE ANIME SQUAD EDITING THIS PEAK 🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥
I BROUGHT GANG WIT ME!!!
3:56 That little comedic rambling into the fade away was funny and new to me. Keep up the good work.😂😂
The Deconstruction part of the video really spoke to me. That was the most brutal yet beautiful thing Ive seen on youtube ever.
5:19 this is like a mr robot scene i love this
LMAOOO I SAID THIS WITHOUT EVEN SEEING U MENTION KRISTA 😂
I do this for all my Mr. Robot enjoyers 👀
Excellent video as always. Using Third Strike music give me an immense amount of joy and is proof you are peak cultured.
Fighting games have some of the best music, just seemed right to use
such a sick video bro you killed this
TIME TO FEASTTTTT!!!!!! GREAT STUFF JOHNNY!!
GREAT STUFF FROM YOU MIKEY!!!! THANK YOU MY BROTHA
Dude this seriously inspired me to make something like this. And i can relate because i strive for this one high school. But i hav to let my writing be as perfect. So i feel i need to be too. So even though you might not see this, Thank you for making this.
this is the coolest "he's just like me fr" video
Damn dude. This video actually brought me to tears. Incredible work.
The editing and format of your videos is top notch my dude 👌
Oh my god, this might be the most relatable video I have ever come across.
Same.
I dont have the words to articulate the experience I had watching this video, butI really appreciate the vulnerability you showed within this video. I can only imagine how difficult it was to make this video, but it was a privilege to watch this. I hope you never lose the love for making videos, because it radiates everywhere in the video.
The amount of TEARS that went down my cheeks watching this.. absolute peak art
Johnny ur videos aren't just TH-cam videos. They are genuine pieces of art. The overall editing and analyzing of each character is some of the best i've ever seen. I have never seen someone be able to connect a medium like anime to real life as well as you do. It's always a treat to watch your videos and learn from you and these characters
best editor on yt videos are amazing
You never disappoint man I relate to this vid so much especially the part with being alone this is Definitely top 3 in the books for sure keep doing what u doing Johnny 🔥♥️
A single tear streamed down the gentle texture of my face as I got to experience this fantastic piece of media, I struggled to start this video, as if it were a delectable piece of cuisine that I wished to savor every single piece of.
Another brilliant video
Idk how you keep doing it. You’re genuinely the best creator rn, seeing the notification is like crack
Lmao!!! Im a dealer you can trust
First time stumbling upon your channel. Just a few seconds into the vid so far. I can already tell, you’re him
Hell yeah, was just rewatching some earlier vids and this gem just dropped
You are welcome
You’re super talented man this shit was magnificent
I can't believe this drop right now. I have never seen any of your videos but right now I'm a low point of my life. Just confused and frustrated in myself. I feel my problem is I have no ambition and I hate myself for it. I related a lot to what you said and hopefully I find my answer one day but I promise I'll never give up.
🫂never give up
This outlook and perspective helped me a lot. I've been, finally, have after years starting my novel. Each of these archetypes seriously helped me ground some of my most pivotal characters. Keep up the great work!!
After what is just watched and all the emotions i felt only one sentence is what i could think of. "This truly is the answer."
Wow i am blowed away at the message and analogies using anime and how it connects to your own personal story such a beautiful presentation that is a work of art
insanely good video. Ive just put my best friend on to Vagabond and seeing him read everything for the first time is the closest ill ever feel to reading it that first time. Keep troopin johnny you truly are strong for sharing your personal shit
I can only say thank you, thank you for making this master piece of a video, but also, thank you for opening my eyes and making me crie, and realize what I didn't saw before, I'll remember your words for the rest of my life, thank you for making this video, I love your channel, and I hope that you can achieve whatever goal you want to pursue, have a nice day :]
genuinely one of the best pieces of media i've consumed man. Insanely real.
Couldn’t have prepared for the sheer grace and vulnerability on display here. Real radiant work Johnny, keep on shinin’ 😤
ive been waiting on this!! lets get it !
Thank you Johnny, the journey of content creators sometimes feels fool hearted, doing anything to reach our deepest desires, but at the end of the day only one thing matters, our purpose. What it means to us rather than what it’ll do for us. Thank you for giving me a reminder on what this journey means to me.❤️ Also how tf will you top this shi😭
IDK BUT IMMA TRY MY BEST!
