I’m here 3 years after this vid dropped, brought here by (of all things) cyberpunk, yeah I know how bad it released but that’s not what brought me here. My issue is that, in my whole life I’ve never been so... attached to a character as I have Judy. Yes, I’m a man. A straight man with kids at that and Judy is a lesbian, and in order to romance her you also have to be a woman. I chose Fem V because simply, I prefer her voice acting much the same as I will play Femshep. But this is different. This is different to anything else. I find myself caring about and thinking about the character after finishing her story arc. The game shines best in its slowest moments for sure, but it’s such a strong feeling. I find myself listening to pyramid song by radiohead a lot, which shares the name of judy’s final story quest and is thematically similar to the music vid. Judy even has the lyrics tattoo’d on her arm. The song is haunting, and hopeful, and sad. But Each time I hear it... it takes me back to Judy. A disconcerting amount. I think it could be because I’m roleplaying the game, eating, sleeping, not fast travelling or sprinting around the world. Sometimes I take a day off in game and just explore, only doing one or 2 side missions each day. So when the story hits, and a romance option... it hits so much fucking harder and the masterful writing comes through. So why am I searching for this vid? Well because I’m a bit freaked out by CARING so much. I think I know now. It’s the empathy I’m feeling for judy’s vulnerability. There are times in the game where Judy is so damn crushed, and you are kinda there to pick up the pieces and help. And she lets you into her little world, her ‘snow globe’ and that FEELS special. It’s so bizarre. Worrying me a little even. To the point I’m anxious about what will happen to her, and my V by the end of the game. I’ve never felt that before and it’s freaking me out a little 😅
Hey John, glad to see you're making videos pretty frequently now. I hope you don't mind, but I'm going to write some constructive criticism. I think you use too many examples without truly expanding upon them. You give us clips of these great pieces of entertainment, but for many of them you simply state that it elicits emotion. Just like when writing a paper, you shouldn't let your quotes (clips, in this case) overtake your own thoughts. I believe cutting down on the amount of examples while explaining exactly how and why the remaining examples cause us to emphasize would narrow the focus of this video, and strengthen it overall. I hope you don't take my criticism the wrong way because I did enjoy the video and I hope your channel grows because you do have the potential to be a very good TH-cam analyzer.
TheSmartAzn hey thank you for your feedback! This is something I have noticed (especially as it becomes more apparent in the 2nd half of the video). There's just so many great works to pull from! I'm learning as I go so any ideas to improve is an absolute welcome! I will be keeping this in mind on future videos! Thanks again for checking out the video. ^^
I'd like to start off by saying, the Your Name analysis video you made was brilliant! I am working on a writing a graphic novel and your videos give me a lot to think about. They open my eyes to what's actually going on in my favorite movies/shows that evoke emotions. I noticed you reference a lot of book quotes and was wondering if these were books you've read and if you have any you'd recommend? Overall your content stands out to me and is what I've been looking for in analysis videos for a long time. Please keep up the great work, you've earned yourself another subscriber!!
Your videos are great , you really need to make more videos , especially on anime , as you have a talent in these vids . Thanks for the great vid and keep it coming
nabeel khan hey there! Thank you for taking the time to check out the videos! It means a lot to know you like them! so excited to show more videos up on the channel! :)
Just found your channel and subscribed. I very much enjoy your videos. I actually plan on making my own video essays aswell but I am struggling with the initial hurdle of putting together the first one :/ Wish me luck! I hope I can figure it out and make videos as cool as yours XD
This was such a relaxing video to watch, thank you!
ALaloLife thanks for checking out the video! ^^

Wyatt Skrobarczyk thanks dude! :).

Totalart best of luck on your video! As long as you're having fun with the process of making, I'm sure you'll knock it out of the park! ^^
nice videos, this channel deserves more views and subs
I emphasize too much. I wanted to be a writer but found I can't bear a lot of conflict and suffering among my characters.
Analyzing movies AND anime !
