- My name is Michael! I teach geography, history, religion, social science and physical education. Way too many subjects if you ask me... I don't claim to be an expert in any of these subjects.
Although I am pretty awesome at PE!

Due to strange circumstances the Imperial family has never been changed or replaced. They can trace their lineage back to Emperor Kinmei (539 to 571 AD/CE) with evidence but claim ancestry all the way back to Emperor Jimmu (660 BC/BCE) Either way they are the longest lasting dynasty to keep power. The reason their circumstances are strange is because whenever someone took over, namely the shoguns, they opted to keep the Imperial family there as a symbol.
TBH the imperial family really only had actual administrative power for less than 200 years, then it's either a puppet of the aristocrats, or the shogunate.
If you have a very robust puppet system, why change it?
The other dynasties did lose the support of the peoples, it never did happened in Japan (they did remain the symbol of the Shintoism) so if any Shogun would try to trow imperial family would be a massiv uprusing.
Even at the end of WW2 they didn't sign the surrender until the allies did promis the emperor be allowed to remain the nominal head of state. (what is kinda interesting because the allies did agree about the war doesn't end until Germany,Italy,Japan doesn't sign an unconditional surrender, Germany and Italy did sign a unconditional surrender but Japan did have this one condition)
@@lucykaede3663 The condition was agreed with the wording of something like "the Emperor is subordinate to the Occupation Commander" or something to that effect, meaning the US military commander was the boss of the Emperor until the occupation came to an end in 1952.
Useful Charts has a couple of real cool videos showing the descent of the Imperial line as well as the current line of succession
Sadly the Nakagin Capsule Tower has just recently been demolished. If you want to check out what it was like I recommend the Abroad in Japan channel on youtube. He did a good video on it
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO (way too many O”s)
I heard some people wanted to at least keep one or two of the capsules for like a museum or something. I'm wondering if that ever went anywhere.
@@007MrYang I think they may have done but can't confirm
A typical good anime for Starters is Death Note. It's quite a unique classic that is accepted as one of the best anime by many people.
The anime is grown up and still weird enough to represent the japanese anime.
18:00 Attack on Titan is an absolute recommendation. However, it's not necessarily "easy to digest" because it has an excellently written story with deeply political contexts. Though, it doesn't start all too complicated, it progressively gets more intricate which is why I recommend it.
Recommending AoT to a new watcher is the best way to get them to never watch another anime. That's by far not a starter anime.
@@D_Panda: Well, I have seen multiple reactors on TH-camr who never watched an anime before starting with AoT and then continuing with others several times (NicholasLightTV, LettsReact, etc.), but since he specifically said that he is looking for something 'easy to digest', it might indeed be better to start with something light-hearted and generic.
I would recommend Hunter X Hunter :)
@@D_Panda I just recently watched AOT, which was my first anime ever (besides the usual pokemon, yugi-oh and dbz way back when). I liked it a lot, the story got me hooked. Although i had to watch past the silly looks of the titans at first. Im curious why you'd say it's not a starter anime though.
@@RobChiquita attack on titan can be hard to digest. There are better animes to start with such as hunter x hunter or death note.
studio ghibli short films are one of the best anime to watch. they are like 1.5 hourse long and have really complex and deep characters. The story telling and the artwork just swirls around you creating the whole atmosphere and you just fall into it and get lost in the simple pleasures of life. the animation of the characters , their simple movements portrays all the emotions you would feel if you were in the characters position. its a beautiful experience. i would recoomend HOWL's Moving Castle as a starter anime
I think Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood is a good starter (#inmyhumbleopinion)
Edit: Movies like Spirited Away, Your Name or Princess Mononoke are also masterpieces
Monster is also great
I’ve never seen American grocery store have a fruit section with everything covered in plastic and I’ve lived here my whole life lol. Also, Cowboy bebop is the perfect intro anime. You and me literally had the same anime experience I only ever watched dragon ball before and wanted to find a good one. It’s so short and tells a great story, no filler content no drawn out inner monologues etc. If you’re ever down to read manga, Berserk is the one. Every page is a gorgeous piece of art and even tho it’s very long there actually isn’t much filler at all.
If you wanted to learn more about the Japanese language, Langfocus has a great video going over it. Would recommend
Great reaction, I’m glad you seem to enjoy our country’s facts and history!
The Imperial family has been connected by a single bloodline throughout the history, and at least has existed from the 7th century.(record before that do exist but the accuracy of it is debated.)
I think if you have video streaming services, you will be able to find a bunch of anime you might enjoy. I wish you good luck on finding something you enjoy!
An anime I would recommend would be cells at work because it's pretty cool teaching you about the body, and I think it's not that annoying. If you were wondering it's on Netflix. (For America at least)
Hi! From Japan! Thank you for your interest!!!🤩 please come to Japan soon! Currently(May 2022) we are gradually loosing our restriction for foreigners to come here so maybe next year sakura season?😎🌸
I think most of the questions are already answered by others but yes we learn all the 3 letters in schools and use daily bases. I personally like to have them. You can write same words in different letters and when you read it, you will get a different impressions. We like reading books/manga😆
Speaking of manga, you did one thing you should not do. Asking internet favorite anime. You will never get any consensus but I personally recommend “Saint Young Men” you could understand how Japanese sees so called saints/gods (Japanese would admire them but also like to have fun with them.)
Great video! We are waiting you to come to Japan soon!🥳
Hello! Do you know why there are so few foreigners who stay in japan? Is it hard to get a permanent visa?
i was born in Okinawa. i cant wait to get back someday.
@@nomiki8436 I am not an expert but I’ve heard that it is very hard to get permanent visa. Although I think more foreigners visiting Japan and language is not that big issue anymore in daily life(I guess), living here, doing the paperwork and actually getting a permanent visa might be challenging. Our # of population is declining and we need to talk more about how we support immigration now and/or in the future, but at this moment, I believe it is really hard.
I would recommend Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood
"Star Blazers" (Space Battleship Yamato.) It's got a super-dated art style, but it's a fantastic space opera, and remains my favorite after 30 years.
Uchuu Senkan YAMATO!
Thank you for reacting to Geography Now Japan. If you want to learn more about Japan, you can watch Geography Now Japan Prefectures. It will give you a little look into what each prefecture in Japan has to offer.
14:00 besides some exceptions like our teacher toled us - the kanji combination for hand+paper means in japan tegami=letter but in china the same kanji combination means toilet paper
hiragana is kind of the the basic and you could write 100% in it
children learn japanese that way first too and then step by step learn to substitute in the kanji
katakana is like another text font/colour it is basically the same as hiragana but they use for words of non japanese origins
like the "kindergarten" in (american) english which is a german word
iirc they ealier on tried to make up for every new stuff that needed a japanese word new kanjis but that got way too much way too fast
and so they take the now the non-japanese word try to read/pronounce it with there japanese syllables and then try to write it with their japanese letters
and yes most of the time it is a mess - especially that almost all japanese syllables end on a vowel so they have to work around
gas chromatograph turns into something like gasu kurumatugarufu to try to write one of the crazier ones I had seen once
some things have even two names like the office - it has a japanese name written in hiragana(kanji) and you could - iirc - use オ-フィ-ス -> o-fi-su (office)
katakana is 99% like hiragana just used for non-japanese words they just have a few extra combinations to create some extra sounds
since most of these words come from the english language if you can read these 50+ symbols you can have a good guessing game what the word means without any real japanese knowledge
kanji is like the third text font - doesn't really add new syllable/sounds and works more like a substitution / caesar chiffre
like using windings text font in word...
hiragana syllable 1 can be replaced with kanji a
syllable 2 -> kanji b
syllables 1+2 -> kanji c
it just gets funny at the point that most syllables have several kanjis they can be replaced with
and most kanji have more then one reading this way too
since you hear in spoken japanese not what text font is used - it makes no difference their and it all depends on what is spoken about/the context
why it is still kind of helpfull in the current written japanese
1) it has a lot of hononyms (same writting but different meaning based on context) like the japanese word for writing and the japanese word for drawing are the same - same spelling in hiragana but the hiragana syllables get substituted with different kanjis in both situation so while reading you get to which is which but when you hear someone speaking these words you have to guess based on the context
(and some very few can differ on how you emphasize the syllables i.e.: hana->flower/nose)
2) most likely the point in (1) comes from a lack of possible combinations with the around 50 syllables - while we have with our abc... more freedom?
there are some words in japanese which are 1 or 2 syllables long and are replaced by one kanji alone - so in these cases the kanji obviously means the word it represents
words that are made up of more than one kanji can mean the meanings of the indivudal kanjis combined sometimes - and sometimes not... ;/
a nicer example is the japanese word for fireworks -> ha-na-bi
hana -> flower
bi -> fire (one reading for the kanji here)
=> fire flowers based on how the fireworks look in the sky and written with the kanjis for flower and fire in this case 花火
though the flower kanji has only one reading as hana iirc 花
the fire kanji kan be read as ka, hi, bi... depending on the word it is used in... 火
3) (classic) japanese has no space between words and no period [.] at the end of a sentence
it is just one long line of text (that changes more and more with modern times as far as I know)
so the switches between hiragana, kanji and katakana help with with following the text structure where a sentence starts/ends
most is written in kanji - foreign word in katakana and grammar related stuff in hiragana
"I'm reading a book" would get the [I], [read] and [book] written in kanji and the [-ing] part of reading in hiragana - as a simplyfied example
already too much forgotten from my 2 classes but it seams at least still some details I can remember
sorry for the text flood in my bad english just had a bit of a nostalgia attack from good old times :P

16:42 the current Japanese Imperial Family claimed that they are still the direct descendants of Amaterasu, one single blood line. It dates back to 660 BC (2681 years old)
Since you are a teacher I'd recommend you give GTO (Great teacher Onizuka) a try, it's one of the older animes and it might be easier for you to get in to, also its in the slice of life category so no 30 episodes fight scenes
Your question regarding since when the current dinasty ruled over Japan made me wonder as well. So I looked it up online: Mythically the dynasty traces back until 660BC, historically until 539AD. Every Emperor since then claimed to be part of the same family. But (of course) the line of succession didn‘t always go from father to son. It sometimes also went to a brother or a cousin of the previous monarch and in a few occasions the also had a female emperor, but all of them had a common ancestor who was emperor.
Now since 1780 the line of succession went always directly from father to son.
he skipped the anime/manga part because its just a little part of the country which went viral outside, not all japanese like it or often hide being a fan. i also heard that they absolutely dislike it when foreigners come to japan just because of anime :'D but if we turn the tables they dont want to learn languages to communicate either or travel around without knowing their destinations culture much. its travel and learn, for them and for us :)
hmm if you want recommendations: spy x family is wholesome with a patchwork family or if you want something action based i always recommend soul eater, both animes include humor and action and i think they are good for starters :D
Attack on Titan is probably most universally accepted amongst most anime fans as the current greatest anime. Spy x Family is a new one which I think you may like. Mob Psycho is also great. Death Note, Cowboy Bebop or Berserk if you want classic great animes.
To answer your question about Japanese writing, yes, you have to use all 3 writing systems. As mentioned in the video, Japanese has no spaces and the three systems of writing have a role they play. So if you used only one writing system it'd be like you using no spaces in any European language. For example, hundarnalekerochspringermedbarnenvarjedag. Of course, given some time, you can make out what's being written, but it takes some time. Same in Japanese. Here's what the writing systems do. 平仮名（ひらがな） (hiragana) is the basic writing system that could technically be used to write everything, but is usually used for words that are 100% Japanese or different grammatic helper words and stuff. 片仮名（カタカナ）(katakana) is the other basic writing system. Hiragana and katakana basically cover all the same sounds; difference is the use. Katakana is used to write out words that are foreign. For example, words like viking, Sweden, minecraft, ikea, smörgåsbord, etc. Lastly, 漢字 (kanji). Obviously kanji are the Chinese characters, however, GeographyNow failed to mention something about Kanji. Just because Kanji are Chinese in origin doesn't mean it's mutuallyintelligible. Kanji are the Chinese characters that Japan picked and chose to use when China first had influence over Japan like a 1000 years ago. So naturally, some of the characters can be considered old or have different meanings. This is especially noticeable when compared to Mandarin's simplified Chinese writing system, where, for example, 漢字 has become 汉字, or 東京 Tokyo has become 东京, or 犬 dog has become 狗. And don't even get me started on the pronunciations of the characters, because even that has changed over time. However, the important thing is the use of Kanji in Japanese. Since these characters represent an idea or word rather than a sound, you basically use them for the beginnings of verbs, adjectives, adverbs, so-on so-forth, and for nouns that can be written in kanji. To compare them to a more European writing style, it's kind of like how in Latin words are made up of roots that come together to form a bigger word. 東京 Tokyo is "East Capital", 飛行機 airplane is "fly go machine", 電話 phone is "electric speech/conversation", etc etc. So, to end with an example, I'll write one sentence in just hiragana and then the same one using all 3 systems. おれはゔぁいきんぐとかいけあとかめちゃくちゃすきなので、いつかすうぇーでんにいきたいんだ。俺はヴァイキングとかイケアとかめちゃくちゃ好きなので、何時かスウェーデンに行きたいんだ。(ore wa vaikingu toka ikea toka mechakucha suki na node, itsuka suwe-den ni ikitai n da) or "Eftersom jag gillar så mycket vikingar och ikea vill jag åka till Sverige någon gång" or literally ("Jag vikingar och ikea och mycket gillar är eftersom, någon gång Sverige till åka vill är"). Hopefully this helps explain your question.
18:00 You should check out Kotaro Lives Alone , and Ranking of Kings.
If you wanna see something weird and confusing, check out Geography Now - Belgium :)
Finally! Another vidio. This smacks with food
Great video! As for anime, I would recommend Vinland Saga. It’s an anime about Vikings. I think you might like it 👍
He didn’t mention it in the video but on Hokkaido theres a village called Sweden Hills (スウェーデンヒルズ, Suēden Hiruzu) wich was constructed in 1984 to look like a stereotypical Swedish village with red-white houses and everything. They even celebrate Midsummer even though no Swedes actually live there.
If I translate the word "weird" it would be "different"! I don't understand somebody from a inglish speaking and multiculturele country like yours don't know this word. But happy to help you out! 🙏🙏🙏
How come no one recommends "Vinland Saga" to the Swede with the username "Simple Viking"? I mean it's literally an anime about Vikings.
Another one I've been missing while scrolling through the comments would be "Great Teacher Onizuka", an anime about a young teacher trying to do his job. It does have some cringe moments that were considered comedy 20 years ago but overall it's an amazing series.
Of course other than these painfully obvious choices we have "One Punch Man" (a parody of basically every Hero-story), "Mobile Suit Gundam: The 08th Mobile Suit Team" (a great introduction into the mecha genre of anime for people new to anime), and to completely switch genres "Koisuru Asteroid" (a cute slice-of-life show about some school girls doing geoscience projects).
Edit: There is also an anime based on "The Wonderful Adventures of Nils" by the Swedish author Selma Lagerlöf that I used to watch as a child.
I did 3 hours ago. Figured it would be prefect for him.
@@Spartan265 Oh sorry, I must've scrolled past it.
@@Gaehhn No worries. I too thought instantly of Vinland Saga when he asked lol.
6:12 cozy? the "sky" looks great the setting itself looked like a horror movie óO

Olli
Since you asked, I'd like to recommend 2 anime series to you.
The first one is Girls' last tour. It only has 12 episodes. The manga it's based on finished with only 6 volumes. The anime adapts most of it (first 4 volumes). So it sadly doesn't adapt everything but I think they chose a pretty good place to stop and the art is really good. Here's information on what it is about:
Civilization is dead, but Chito and Yuuri are still alive. So they hop aboard their beloved Kettenkrad motorbike and aimlessly wander the ruins of the world they once knew. Day after hopeless day, they look for their next meal and fuel for their ride. But as long as the two are together, even an existence as bleak as theirs has a ray or two of sunshine in it, whether they're sucking down their fill of soup or hunting for machine parts to tinker with. For two girls in a world full of nothing, the experiences and feelings the two share give them something to live for...
The second is Made in Abyss. It currently has 13 episodes and a movie (the movie continues the story from the manga so it's actually canon). It will get a second season soon in July. The story is interesting, the visuals are beautiful even in the series and it has an awesome soundtrack. Here's a description of the story:
The enormous cave system, known as the Abyss, is the only unexplored place in the world. Nobody knows how deep down goes this titanic pit, inhabited by strange and wondrous creatures and full of mysterious ancient relics which purpose in unknown to modern man. Generations of bold adventurers have been drawn by the cryptic depths of the Abyss. In course of time those bold enough to explore the dangerous pit came to be known as "Cave Raiders." In Oosu, the town at the edge of the Abyss, there lives a little orphan named Rico, who dreams of becoming as great a cave raider as her mother was and solving the great mystery of the pit. One day exploring the murky depths she stumbles upon a little boy, who turns out to be a robot...
I see someone's a fan of post apocalypse
If you think public transport is bad in the U.S., you should try going from city to city in Canada, Australia, Brazil.... THAT is truly bad public transport.
I think for very starting you should watch DEATH NOTE because most of us had watched it as a starting anime and it's a nice story.
The northern Island of Hokkaido has some of the best ski resorts in the world
Yeah far as I'm aware he's just there for ceremony. Sorta like the Queen but I think he has even less influence. Oh and if you wanna learn more about East Asian history check out the channel Cool History Bros. They have loads of historical content about China, Japan, Korea etc. Vinland Saga takes place during the Viking age. Obviously there is some historical inaccuracies but it's pretty good. However it is pretty real in the sense that they show violence and stuff. It's 24 episodes if I remember correctly. Maybe not exactly a good anime for if you wanna shut your brain off but it's very good. Good story, good art, etc.
19:11 Death Note
Durarara! is kind of nice as an anime. Has a nice opening song, too
No, we Americans don't vacuum-seal plastic wrap our apples in markets. lol
Well as a teacher i would guess you‘ll enjoy things like ˋCells at Work´ an anime about the human body. The next would be Dr. Stone an anime about an event that caused the human population to be turned to Stone and now an Genius Kid tries to recreate all modern Luxuaries in this unfamiliar Stone age world. Another would be Youjo Senki (The saga of Tanya the Evil) its an anime about an alternate WW1 were magic exists, we follow Tanya von Degurechaff an War Orphan of alternate German Empire as she climbs the military ladder. Log Horizon is another, as an Game got updated to their newest expansion every player got Transporte into the game, now Shiroe the protagonist creates a government with other people like him of their ˋˋplayer city´´ (lot of economy and intrigue while also haveing some action scenes while being accurate RPG representation). Now ones that don‘t have anything to do with things you may learn. Death note is an absolute classic and widely acepted as one of the best, it‘s about an genius highschool boy who hates criminals who finds a notebook that can kill anyone you know the name and face of. That is all i could think of at the moment.
3:33 ... Always coz EEZ (Exclusive Economic Zone) is very important for each country ...
More the area in control ... More the resources such Fishes & Mineral materials ...
And Also countries can earn Taxes through EEZs 🙌
13:28 Looong, loooooong maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan
Seriously, that is , without a doubt, the best series of commercials ever created. It could be a show, goddammit
I don't watch much anime anymore, and I know loads of them have already been suggested here. So I'll just suggest one that I doubt has been mentioned here; Moribito. Its based on a Japanese book series, but is only one season long based on just one of the books. Its got a lot less of the typical Japanese wackiness that might be in a lot of more popular shows likely suggested to you already. But its got really good characters and builds a believable world and tells an interesting story.
There was also a live action show based on the same book series that's quite a bit longer. Never watched that but it was apparently popular in Japan at the time it was being released.
Also, Japanese fun fact just cause I hadn't see this mentioned in any of these videos you've watched about Japan and you might be interested to know. Japan doesn't call itself Japan, they call their the country Nippon or Nihon; and Japanese is Nihongo. The word Japan is kind of contested in origin and is believed to likely have been something of a mistranslation, if I recall right, with the Portuguese translating the name used by the Malay to refer to Japan. From the Malay Jepang to Portuguese Japao and then later Japan; which was the accepted translation by English of the time explaining why "Japan" or variations of it, ended up being the common name. But the Japanese still typically call the country Nippon; tho they know who you mean if you say "Japan" haha.
For your question regarding the imperial family bloodline (as well any other bloodline of royal families and famous people in general) i suggest UsefulChart's channel. It's been incredibly helpful and fascinating to watch it all fleshed out.
For anime, watch anything by Hayo Miyazaki. He is a legendary storyteller. My favorite movie of his is Castle in the Sky Laputa
"There is always a dispute about islands" 😂 there's a beautiful anime called "Giovanni's Island" based on real life experiences of Japanese people after Russians occupied their island after WW2
For "easy to digest" Animes I can recommend everything from Studio Ghibli, Netflix has a bunch of Animes (currently obsessed with "Bubble")
Japan uses all 3 alphabets simultaneously. I tried learning the language a few years ago and it actually only took us 2 days to learn the hiragana and katakana alphabets. Learning Kanji is the hard part but when you know your Kanji it makes reading and writing a bit easier than using hiragana only. And katakana is mostly used for words/names that were adopted from other countries.
how long back does the bloodline of the emperor of japan go
The Japanese imperial family's genealogy is said to date back over 2,600 years, to the legendary Emperor Jimmu in 660 BCE. However, the accuracy of this genealogy is difficult to confirm, and some parts of it may be based on myth or legend.
also, to quote wikipedia on this one: "Historical evidence for the first 25 emperors is mythical, but there is sufficient evidence of an unbroken hereditary line since the early 6th century"
who are the oldest hereditary monarchies in the world
The oldest hereditary monarchy in the world is the Imperial House of Japan, which has a lineage dating back over 2,600 years to 660 BC. Another one of the oldest hereditary monarchies is the Kingdom of Sweden, with a lineage dating back over 1,000 years to 997 AD.
Regarding Anime recommendations, based on what you said it’s best staying away from “Shounen” and “Shoujo” genres of Anime/Manga as their are aimed towards younger audiences and are usually full of fights and screaming, like One Piece or Naruto.
“Seinen” might be something you like, its aimed towards the adult demographic, anime/manga like Violet Evergarden, A Silent Voice, Vinland Saga, Evangelion, Death Note, etc have very serious stories and themes that fits its targeted demographic.
React to geography now Croatia 👍 love your content
Cowboy bepop being inspired by bladerunner tells an interesting post Earth, cosmos nomad Era bounty Hunter story
Given the post Earth theme ill think youll like it
So for an Anime recomendation I would recomend you Vinland Saga. Since you didn't really state what genre you like it's not easy to pick one out especially with how many different shows there are. Since you said that you have not watched Anime in a long time and want something that is easy to digest I tried to pick one where they don't use typical anime tropes that you probably don't know about making it easier to watch. If you do decide to watch it I would recomend you watch the first 3 to 4 episodes together as thei are ment to be watched together. As a side note the Anime is not yet complete with the first season being more like a prolge but I still find it to be a very good show that can stand alone and just has an open ending for now.
i can really recommend fullmetal alchemist brotherhood and vinland saga for "beginners". Especially vinland saga may be interesting for a viking like you ; )
if i remember correctly the current imperial family can trace their line unbroken back to roughly 500AD
Anime-wise, there are two fairly recent anime that are very popular that come to mind. Both are very short at the moment, so it shouldnt be too hard to get into, or get a feel for.
Jujutsu Kaisen - Follows the story of modern - day sorcerers stopping cursed spirits from wreaking havoc on the country.
Demon Slayer - More old timey, but similar formula. They are trying to hunt down the Demon King and the higher ranking demons he controls.
If you are interested in fighting and fantastical conflicts, I highly recommend them. First is one season, second is 2 seasons and a movie.
Manga is the comics and anime is the animated series.
Can you react to Geography Now Poland next??
10:07 I think that’s red bean paste sandwich flavoured KitKat :)
I would totaly recommend you deathnote, its such an intense anime
The story has a high pace and in total you have 37 episodes
You're so right about the US having to put our fruit in plastic bags i have no idea why we haven't switched to paper bags by now its honestly something that needs brought up more cause we use way to much plastic that can be replaced with other alternatives
I'm not sure if it's determined by where you live (I live in Florida), but my local store always asks whether or not I'd like plastic or paper bags to put my groceries in.
We’ve been using them for 30 or so years in Washington
I think you should start with Demon slayer or Attack on titan. Both really popular anime. Demon slayer is fast pace and getts to the beautifully animated action rly quick wile Attack on titan has a lot more in deph and deep story and hooks you instantly. Maybe you'll like one of them c:
I second that
Hellsing Ultimate is decent anime pretty violent and gory but it's 10 episodes at around 40-50 minutes. It's about vampires. That is all.
i think u should start with the Studio Ghibli movies there like Disney movies but Anime
if you like skiing Japan gets amazing snow - just search 'japan skiing hakuba' on youtube and you'll get an idea (Hakuba is a famous ski area). Hope you can visit soon!
Also not an anime fan but I have watched a few based on recommendations of my friends: Ghost in the Shell, Cowboy Bebop, Death Note, and Attack on Titan.
React to Geography Now Canada and Iran please.. if you want to
You will like DEATH NOTE none of it is annoying , youll be glued to your screen
Japan was the first country in the world to land on Sakhalin and discover that it was an island.
Do you like Smörgast°arta? (Sorry I can't type the Stargate A with an ° above :D)
In terms of anime, I tend to go for darker stuff. 😅 My favourites are Hellsing Ultimate and Black Butler. FullMetal Alchemist: Brotherhood and Soul Eater are great too. (I'd say the Castlevania series but I'm not sure if it's classified as an anime or not.)
Oh... XD ANd i was recommending One Piece. We all feel u. ^^ Thats why we skip so much those days and wont watch it week to week, because that would drive me crazy. I wait some months or even years while watching reactions of the best parts of one piece, before i finally start watching maybe another 100-150 new episodes to get something for my waiting.
Regarding Animes: I kinda like most of the 'Studio Ghibli' films, especially "Princess Mononoke". And something that left a huge mark on me was an anime called "Berserk". A few years ago a friend of mine gave me a dvd box with the original Berserk Version of 1997 and simply said "watch this". Based on the European Middle Ages. At the same time quiet, philosophical and yet gory. Have tried some newer adaptations of it, but they couldn't get near the old stuff. If you can get your hands in sweden on it, try it. It was so weird, but in a good way. th-cam.com/video/IXL5r3n862U/w-d-xo.html Greetings from Germany
Studio Ghibli is always a good way for a beginner to start. While they are weird, they have quite simple stories unless you start to think about the written between the lines stuff, but that's not required to like them
Also a movie is less time consuming than a series, so even if you don't really get into it you only lost a couple of hours
For an anime recommendation, I can recommend Steins Gate and Dr. Stone for educational / scientific backgrounds. Dr. Stone feels like a combination of One Piece and Steins Gate, but it also has its charm. In Dr. Stone you will learn about technology and how to create it, while Steins Gate contains funny time travel.
"funny time travel"
You misspelled traumatizing lol
I would recommend Howls moving castle or Princess Mononke 🙂
One of my favorite Anime is Detective Conan (or is it called "Case Closed"? Here in Germany it is only known as Detektiv Conan) I like it a lot because it's so different than my other favorites like One Piece. It is more realistic without superpowers and so on.
My recommendation for anime is definitely 'Death Note'
Yes, a gem, but too dark for a first anime. Maybe later. My pick would be One Punch Man for the first one, because its well-animated, hilarious and short enough. And One Piece somewhere later of course.
If u want anime watch drifters or ranking of king both are simple easy to digest
You should watch Gakuen babysitters,death note is also good available
To answer your anime suggestion question, I suggest watching Attack on Titan. It's a very good anime. However, my reason for suggesting it to you will differ from most people. I won't spoil anything, but since you're a Swede who happens to like Germany, you might find it interesting as you watch this anime to see the bits and pieces of the anime that have Nordic or Germanic influence.
A tipical anime for starters is naruto but it can be annoying sometimes. Also i would recommend attack on Titan!, demon slayer!, black clover!, HunterxHunter, Re:ZERO, jujutsu kaisen and Haikyuu (The ones with ! are my alltime favorites). I hope my recommendations helped you and i hope you will like at least some of them.
Maybe try Atashinchi. It's a daily life story about a Japanese family. No whimsical nonsense. Each episode is only 10 minutes long and available on yt.
Anime: Attack on Titan!
If you don't want anime with fights that last for several episodes, I'd suggest just staying away from any sort of shounen manga with hundreds of episodes like Naruto, One Piece, Bleach etc. Aside from that, go nuts, watch whatever you want. Also, there are plenty of 12-episode or 24-episode anime series, although many of the 12-episode ones don't have very conclusive endings since they are often glorified ads (albeit very enjoyable ads) for the original manga, light novel, or visual novel.
It's probably a little annoying, but it's written as a skit show, so it won't drag things out so much as repeat. It imagines the countries as humans (very stereotypical, but pretty equally mocking everything), so it might fit in with the kind of things you already seem interested in on this channel. I liked it as a linguist because in Japanese and in Dub they went for the stereotypical accents of each country (as perceived in Japanese and English) You could look up the episodes with Scandinavian and Nordic countries.
I can recommend you to watch the anime Death Note. Its got a really nice Story and counts to one of mine must watch ones. If u want something more modern with also a nice story and intense fighting scenes i recommend Demon Slayer.
try non fighting anime, like slice of life, or do anime movies like kimi no nawa, silent voice both are grammy nominated there are many great stories but you can try with these two and the animation is top notch
Easy to digest and not annoying all the time?
An anime with both condition is rare.
If you like heartwarming drama, i can recommend my favourite, Usagi Drop.
One of the best 'beginner' anime is probably Full metal alchemist brotherhood. It has good pacing, a good solid and not overly complicated story and good characters and isn't too 'weird' like AoT or annoying
18:10 Try Mob Psycho 100, Mob Psycho 100 II and One Punch Man
pls WATCH BLACK CLOVER it doesn't have lag it's fights complete in 1 or 2 episodes
Have a nice day, everyone. The only anime I watched until it ended was Black Clover, starting off the MC yells alot. If you can get pass that and rough animation at times it's worth it. Fights don't last long in my opinion.
2:19 You don't understand that the Emperor has no power. The Imperial Family has continued for 2600 years, and it is the history of Japan itself.
I don't know how much history your country has, though.
Also, the Japanese Emperor has official and personal contact with the royal families, imperial families, and popes of various countries.
His diplomatic power is immeasurable.
Answering your question for a good Anime without calling a genre you like is difficult.
If you like sport themed storys i would recommend "Haikyu!". It's about school Volleyball and very enjoyable.
The Japanese imperial family counts itself back to Sujin, in 97 BC. They count several prior Emperors, but they are legendary.
The emporor is like the queen of England have no power only ceremonial role.
A great anime movie is "Kimi no Na wa" by Makoto Shinkai
Isnt that Your Name?
@@nikola-noah1693 Yes, in english. I actually know the movie by the German title: Your Name - Gestern, heute und für immer
for the anime i'd suggest Wolf's Rain. not a crazy over the top anime just the story of a great escape and the search for some kind of eden. not childish but not heavy
I would recomend the anime "Hello World!" its is from 2019 when I am not mistaken and I liked it very much and it tells a nice story!
I myself don't watch anime series, but there are amazing films, i want to recommend: Perfect Blue, Ghost in the Shell, Princess Mononoke, Paprika and to get a glimpse of that Hentai-Tentacal-Cliché Urotsukidoji.
These films have not much in common with those dragonball, pokemon, one piece stuff, many people see as "that's anime".

Death note
I'll recommend watching Attack on Titan because it's gets to the point after like 2 to 3 episodes.
Jujutsu Kaisen. its kinda short but epic in story and animation/artwork. all my newbie friend startet with it and got hooked. after that demon slayer and another ''classic'' death note
2000+ years of unbroken bloodline is impossible tho, even tho modern historian put it like 1500+ish years at best cause of many mythological figures
There are so many different anime, it's hard to recommend--with as many as there are, I'd say there's an anime for everyone, but finding the perfect one to start with is tough. I'll throw my hat in on Fullmetal Alchemist and Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood. FMA is decent-sized but not one of the hundreds of episodes-long Weekly Shonen Jump titles, it has a gripping story and well-developed universe, great characters, and a decent amount of humor that tends to avoid getting 'stupid' or 'annoying' and I feel is one of the overall best-written anime stories of all time.
Most fans will tell you just to watch Brotherhood and ignore the original series, but I disagree. To explain: the first series was made in 2004 based on an ongoing manga by HIromu Arakawa. Since it was far from completion, so the anime team wrote their own backstory and about halfway through the series completely veered into a story they made themselves inspired by the manga, as it were. Then, in 2007, as the FMA manga was wrapping up, they cashed in on the popularity of FMA to make a second series, Brotherhood, that adapted FMA more faithfully and kept its proper story. And Brotherhood is, make no mistake, the better anime, which is why people like to pretend the original series didn't exist and actually recommend against watching it. But Brotherhood was made shortly after the first series and was made for fans of that series, for people who had seen it, so many of the early manga stories, which are as good as the rest of the series, were skipped or super condensed so they could get to the 'new true story' faster, and I feel early Brotherhood suffers from not having them.
My recommendation is to watch the first FMA series, and then if you find it at least enjoyable watch Brotherhood immediately after so that you can fully appreciate what both bring (and hey, while most of us will say Brotherhood is the better of the two series, you might be one who ends up liking the original anime more).
