- Finally...we are here. At the end. Depression awaits!!! Thank you to everyone who has watched and supported us as we have gone on this crazy journey!!! We have loved every minute of it! This show is truly a gem. Also, THIS IS NOT THE END OF OUR BANANA FISH VIDEOS! We have a "formal" review video coming out next week where we will give our final (and hopefully more coherent) thoughts on this show. As a fun bonus, we will also include a compilation video of our friends' reactions to parts (we forced others to watch it because we loved it soooo much).
As always, we love you all very much, and we hope that you enjoy the video ~ xoxo

@@amareviews2891 I hate that bish🙄
*I MEAN...* they confirmed that Ash died in the manga but they left the ending pretty open in the anime, so I'm just gonna say that Ash did not die😊

Actually,he did not died......Its a youtube video that explains why
Ash and Eiji are in Japan now. They have dinner at Tokyo and look happy. -> spice.eplus.jp/articles/277370/images
@@ioanabalescu8324 The author did verify that Ash did die in the manga, there was literally a chapter thst took place like, 7 years after his death.
@@ioanabalescu8324 he did tho
i can just TELL they wanted to cry
it truly breaks my heart how eiji thinks he'll see ash again
When I saw this episode I was pissed Ash didn't kill Dino, but it didn't matter because Dino still died in the end.
i can tell they wanted to cry but to embarrassed to 😂🙈 felt
Dear Ash
Ash -
I’m worried to death because I haven’t been able to see you doing well.
You said we live in different worlds. But is that true?
We have different colored skin and eyes. We were born in different countries.
But we’re friends. Isn’t that what counts?
I’m really glad I came to America. I met lots of people.
And more than anything, I met you.
You asked me over and over if you scared me. But I never feared you, not once.
What’s more is you’re hurt much more than me. I couldn’t help feeling that way.
Funny, huh?
You’re way smarter, bigger, and stronger than me. But I always felt like I had to protect you. I wonder what it is I wanted to protect you from.
I wanted to protect you from fate.
The fate that tries to carry you away, drifting futher and futher.
You told me once about a leopard you read in a book. How you believed that leopard knew that it couldn’t go back.
And I said you weren’t a leopard, that you could change your destiny.
You’re not alone. I’m by your side.
My soul is always with you.
- Eiji Okumura
This is the end... Nooo.😭 I have loved watching your reactions to banana fish! I personally think the ending is beautiful in its own way! I don't like the fact that he died in the library... But a much as I wanted to see Ash and Eiji reunited at the airport i think this ending makes more sense to me even if it hurts that he dies. There is no denying that Ash loves Eiji..(and vice versa) Like.. they are soulmates no questions about that.💖 And it was destined to happen - remember the love charm Eiji's sister gave him instead of a good luck charm. Anyway...
When we see Ash open the letter and we see the ticket, both the viewer and Ash get a sense of hope. (I can only imagine all the images of things they could experience together flashing inside Ash's head.)
Ash finally has someone who is willing to love and protect him without a price (in contrast to his past) someone who isn't afraid of him and someone who would believe in him no matter what.
At that moment he makes up his mind. He is going to run and get his happy ending. Unfortunately he gets stabbed and both Ash and the audience is crushed. Whyyy the heck did you let your guard down ASHHH!!?? Whyyy?!😡😥
Him letting his guard down is significant bc it shows how comfortable he has become at the idea of being together with Eiji over time... and in that moment I think he realizes the danger he will always attract. Ash would have been able to spot that someone was watching him when he was in the library with Sing but he didn't. In episode 12 when Eiji comes to apologize he comes up to Ash and says, "you knew I was here. Don't pretend you didn't"... this is just to show the contrast of him being aware of everything to slowly letting his guard down the more he gets to know Eiji.
I the moment he got stabbed I think that he understood that wherever he goes and whoever he's with, that danger is going to follow him and ultimately hurt the people he loves...
Another thing to note is Eiji's speech when he is sitting in the plane and the plane is about to fly off.
In that moment he recollects his fight with Ash in episode 12 and of when he went to apologize.
In that scene we see his point of view. What he is thinking while looking at Ash. He said the following: "He was sitting there quietly. So serene, set apart from the world of violence and fighting. But so alone. And such indescribable and sublime loneliness. I wanted to protect you from fate. The fate that tries to carry you away, drifting further and further. That's when I thought... That is believe in him, no matter what. No matter what would happen. That I... That I at least would..." (I just wanted to point out how heartbreaking this is. He i best bean. Omg. 😭)
Following this speech, Ash going to the library as Eiji says, is where Ash would be able to set apart form his world of fighting and violence to go unwind and maybe feel a sense of normal. When he is reading the letter at the library he is sitting in the chair Eiji sat in in episode 12 and I think he does that to be able to feel connected to Eiji one last time.
Eiji remembering the story about the leopard and how Ash can change his destiny is heartbreaking seeing as how he is slowly bleeding out.
When the novel "the snows of kilimanjaro", the story of the leopard, is first brought up in the Anime is when Ash is talking about death. He said that he dosnt fear death. That there were so many times where he felt that death could be better. That death would have seemed tempting. When he thinks of death he thinks of that leopard. "Why had he climbed so high up the mountain? Did he get lost while hunting down prey till he reached the point of no return? Or had he climbed higher as if possessed by some urge and collapses trying? What's his carcass like? Was he trying to go back? Or to keep going higher? Either way, he must have known that he wouldn't be able to make it back"... Ash ends his dialouge with this line: "I've never feared death, but I've never wished for it either" . Eiji comes in and reassures him that humans can change their destiny. They have wisdom leopards don't. "Besides, you're not a leopard. Right?"... In that scene Eiji is reassuring ash that he has a choice in how he wants to live out his life. Ash is not a leopard who's is running towards his death. There is much more to life.
Bringing this up in the letter is a reminder to Ash that he can come to Japan if he wanted to. If he truly wished to. And I think that he really did want to the moment he saw the ticket... But ultimately that didn't happen. In the end he didn't actually change his destiny... but atleast he did chose his death.
Eiji's letter ends with the line, "You are not alone... my soul is always with you." We see Ash look into the distance crying tears of joy? knowing he has someone who's always there for him, knowing in death that they will meet again.
The last frame is him slumped over the table with a soft smile on his face. He chose to die because he knew that he would bring danger wherever he goes... And he died with the words of his soulmate fresh in his mind... and while I think that it's heartbreaking I also think it's beautiful.
Hi, therese! We literally couldn't have put it better ourselves! Your analysis is honestly spot on (in our opinion). Over the past few weeks, we have had many INTENSE discussions about this show. While we initially hated the ending, we have come to appreciate how beautiful it is (and how perfectly it fits the show). We do talk A LOT more about it in our review video (which we will be posting soon)! Thank you so much for watching us and taking the time to comment on our videos. You are definitely our favorite commenter :)
Thanks for your reactions to one of my favorite shows
did you know people in japan only say sayonara as in "goodbye forever" thats why eiji didnt say sayonara to ash
im so sorry
Fun fact in the manga as Sing got older he had a crush on Ejij but he knew how much Ejij loved Ash even after his death.
I notice that y’all are having issues with copyright strikes with Sony. Some tips I can give is this:
Lower the volume, if the volume of the video is loud, it could be detected as copyright.
You can also try to black out the screen a bit more, or black out the upper halves of the screen and let the audience see the subtitles.
A last resort option would probably be muting the whole thing and putting a timer on so the audience can sync the video with the reaction, however, this would mean a full reaction with no cuts. If you try the first 2 methods, the copyright claims can be avoided.
Nope Nope you are a lifesaver! We will try those changes and hope for the best!!! 🙏
Read the extra part of manga where Eiju still misses him even after eight years. ( let's cry together )
Hello friends, I loved your reactions and if in my case I expected the end as it appears, I read the manga years ago and it was very sad, if you have the opportunity to read the manga read the epilogue is very interesting and beautiful at the same time, now there is something that I really like to analyze about this story and it is the following. Both the anime and the manga, gives us a very important lesson in life and death, no one is exempt from the tragedies and events that happen to us in life, no matter how positive or negative your life is, it will always happen an event that marked us in life, and we must know how to overcome these adversities, who else would like (including me) that Ash and Eiji were together. But everything happens for a reason and in life you have to know how to get up, that is not only the lesson that the manga has, this is also a lesson for us as human beings 😉
We couldn't have said it better ourselves! In our "review" video, we do talk about the epilogue (which Abby and I have read)!!! Can't wait to share it with you guys :)
@@amareviews2891 .I would love it, I'll be waiting for the video and thanks for your answer I loved it 😍😍
Ending Yaxiu did not die. Someone later found out the book closing time. Later, the library aunt found out that he was rushed to the doctor. The wound was also stitched up. Yaxiu did not have anything to recover from his illness. Later, the netizens had a story after the tea ceremony!
The banana fish manga epilogue was a good end too
Oml how did you guys not CRY SJDNDNNDNDD

Amelie Perez we sobbed while reading garden of light! 😂 We were too anger to cry during the ending 😢
When Sao Underworld 17 and 18 ?
I just finished it 2 days ago and now I wanna die fjskjdjdk
The librarian didn't smell blood at all, or see it on the paper?? She SUCKS
have you guys watched attack on titan?
i’m just saying the author let the end of the show be up to the viewers.. ash died in the manga but he technically didn’t die in the show... i suggest you watch videos of why ash is still alive . 😔
Utsumi (the anime's director) has said the fans can "think what they want" and that's all and that's fine. Yoshida's original intent in the ending will always be the truest form of what she was writing, however. Utsumi has too much respect for Yoshida and her story to change much of anything or dictate how she would have wanted it.
GracefulNanami 🥺. I really want a second season but I don’t think we’ll get one .
Looks to their left:
*sips wine sadly*

Hi, Aliquis! We have been having copyright issues with Sony (and if you don’t know, they are the company that owns Madoka), so we are waiting for our copyright strike to run out on our channel before we post those! To be honest, it’s been very frustrating as we were very excited to post Madoka! But we promise to have them out ASAP (within the next month or two). Sorry for the delay!!!
