Dawg, the credit you gave Nujabes by sheer editing and silence from you was so top tier. Bravo. Subbed earned

It took 7 months for a 2023 compilation video 😆

Why do you say dorororo and not dororo.

Good to have you back 🎉🎉

Loved the video man! Can’t wait for the AOT vid. Question, have you ever considered talking about video games in these kinds of videos?

Eren is not made to look "cool" imo. It's logical conclusion of his character. If we put it charitably, original ending "humanized" him way to much, to the point where it completely changed his character (for the worse in my opinion). Original ending also took away his agency, none of his actions mattered because he was puppeted by Ymir. Requiem takes his character to its logical conclusion, he made peace with what has to be done and that there is no other way out of this situation which reinforces theme of "us or them" in the story". We had humanizing moments for Eren, him having doubts as tho the Rumbling being the only way (Outburst during conversation with Hanji), asking for forgiveness at the refugee camp.

i read the book "Silo" a long while ago, i never knew it turned into a series, I always thought it had good potential for a tv adaptetion. btw man you channel is underrated, your script, narration, editing all are top notch, thank you for this great video and keep up the amazing work!! btw whats the name of the song at 43:09?

I loved the video! Definitely excited to hear you’re taking a look at AOT next, I love that show!

hey man, have you watched dark, its a must watch for anyone who likes to deep dive into tv shows.

‘if you know something i don’t, THEN TELL ME WHAT IT IS!’

Good work as usual, lots of new stuff for me to watch

love the video man excellent presentation. this channel deserves more attention than it has. keep up the beautiful work my guy.

The GOAT of video essays has returned!! Great job bringing attention to so many great gems from 2023. I've been championing Blue Eye Samurai to all my friends.

How do you not have 100k + subs?? This production is insane

Thanks for putting so much work into this, it shows!

Great video. Loved the JJK picks, Blue Eye Samurai, and Vinland ones.

Welcome back, bro. This has been one of the best and most diverse lists I've had in a while. Waiting for the AOT one!!

Thank you for watching the video! Please let me know in the comments, what were your favourite picks of 2023 - I'm happy to be back!

Bro is back.. Lfg! There's been so much peak

Samurai Champloo is actually much deeper, but even some Japanese folks might miss it. For example: Jin is not just letting Shina run away on a boat from her husband to nowhere. Getting a divorce for a woman almost impossible back then. But there was a way. Shina is going to monastery for women, if she spends there 3 years without contacts with men she can be free from her husband. So there is hope that 3 years later Jin will come back for her. There is a lot of historical context for things going on.

I dont want Rhaenyra to win tbh. But yeah, she is basically a main character :/

Amazing analysis

Very naive take

The obsession with Rhaenyas children not being legitimate seem extra shitty given that her husband was gay, they tried and failed to have legitimate children, they had and agreement and they never lied to each other about who’s kids they were and the real father seemed cool with her husband.

I'm a huge animation enthusiast, but I have also been guilty of being a little skeptical about anime. At first I was introduced to it when my older brother showed me some Studio Ghibli films, and then he showed me the first couple episodes of Violet Evergarden. Now I'm just getting into anime, and there are certainly a lot of stuff on my list that I need to watch.

5:12 "ellie looks more like ellie than ellie" Bruh , gringos are so weird in their opinios .... dumb dumb dumb

4:27 Eren freed Ymir. Mikasa didn't do anything. Ymir wasn't looking for love, she was looking for freedom, which is why she freed the pigs. Mikasa had forced relevancy. Eren NEVER loved Mikasa romantically at any point in the series. 13:02 Eren never loved Mikasa tho. Eren and Historia isn't about just simple romance. There's a deep, intertwined connection between Eren, Historia, Founder Ymir and Freckled Ymir, Mikasa is not involved. Eren and Mikasa have ZERO connection. Historia wouldn't be living for herself if she didn't side with Eren. She sided with Eren because Eren REMINDED her to LIVE FOR HERSELF and becoming an ENEMY OF HUMANITY. But her doing the Zeke plan would be her not living for herself. That man who Historia knew from childhood threw rocks at her so where's the "love" there? People like @Serenity break this down easily. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rYLQapRvm9N_aaM kzbin.info/www/bejne/lWbXfaR8nbiKbac A personal gripe that I have is ppl always saying that the fan Eren is made to look edgy and cool. Eren sticking to his motivations and goals IS NOT edgy. It's called CONVICTIONS. It's a very nitpicking argument that I'm high key sick of hearing. All in all, AnR >> AOT OG ending. Forever and Always.

I'm more willing than most it seems to vouch for the 'Rhaenys in the Dragon Pit' as it adds context and incentive to an event later in the story than I won't spoil but you will know when you see it. #HeComes #Shepard Agree on them rushing Rhaenys's character though. I must admit I don't see that much deviation between book Cole and HotD Cole. The only difference is his motivation and grievances are far less obscure in the show.

you sound gay

Cowboy bebop was about being consumed by your past. Samurai Champloo was about accepting it.

Visery’s was an idiot. So many death could’ve been avoided if he didn’t do dumb things. He trusted anyone but his brother and put his daughter life on the line so often. Low-key a terrible King!🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

I LOVE this anime!!! So underrated, so forgotten, so over looked. This anime is truly one of the BEST. FOREVER in my top 5 anime. FOREVER.

3 years later and MAPPA did make the finale even better! Eren and Armin's final conversation gets a major re-write for the better, without changing the entire ending to a Chad Eren power fantasy. Where he kills the world, kills Mikasa and Armin, bangs Historia and lives on with the guilt while only Eldians are left on the planet.

The moment Alicent gave birth to her 1st son, she vied for his place on the throne knowing Daneyra’s sons were not next in line by blood!

I still believe Otto was right that first born son Aegon II was a threat for the appointed heir princess Rhaenera. Alicent had no choice but to survive and strike back.

Ive come to the realization that they rushed through this first season far too quickly in a bid to get the audience to the Dragon Spectacle. I have alot of issues that couldve been resolved if they actually kept the entire first Season focused on the Younger cast member versions of Rhaenrya and Alicent,and then had season 2 introduce us to the Children that are now brought into this conflict. My main 2 issues come down to the writing watering down both Rhaenrya and Alicent's actions in this conflict with how 1. Them removing Rhaenrya from actually killing Laenor in order to marry Daemon removes a concrete line in the sand for the Greens to actually see her as not worthy of the Throne and removing alot of Criston Cole's POV into her more immature Nature and how she doesnt take her responsibilities or oaths seriously enough in his eyes and 2. Removing Alicent from being Aware of the Green Councils scheming to take the throne in the wake of Viserys's death. And i swear to god the biggest flaw no one talks about is the implementation of the White Walker Prophecy being tied to the Targeyeans. I cannot believe they brought that back after how badly we know it ends in Game of Thrones when it comes to the white walkers.

You underestimate the weight and ramifications of Rhenyra’s bastard children. Alicent could not marry her child to a bastard, it dishonored everything she knew to be right. Rhenyra killed her own claim when it became clear that an illegitimate child would be her successor. Further more, after the death of the king, Lords who were disgusted by this woman requiring they pledge fealty to her bastard successor, would use the king’s legitimate children as a standard to gather around and try to crown one of them. Every unpopular move would feed the appetite for rebellion. Alicent’s children would absolutely be in danger from Rhenyra and her supporters.

as someone living in japan, almost every single japanese person i've talked to about anime has never even heard of samurai champloo and nujabes. it's a shame

8:52 yet rhenyera wanted aemond tortured in episode 7 to learn how he learned about her sons being bastards(the analogy she used is used a lot in game of thrones books to say torture this guy a staple of Daenerys vocabulary when son of harpies start attacking her army with her going as far as having common folks tortured to learn who was attacking unsullied

In the books, it was Otto who proposed the marriage between rhenyera and aegon not rhenyera. But then again, show is going out of its way to make greens look bad so that’s not surprising that they would change this to be someone from team black proposing this

The biggest anime Studio that makes me Absolutely fall in love with animation and that is Kyoto Animation, the teams there make some of the most beautiful looking anime of all time like A Silent Voice, Violet Evergarden, and Clannad. These anime also have the most beautiful stories ever told in the animation medium, the characters, animation and story are all there in amazing form. recently Sousou no Frieren is the most recent example of what animation with amazing character writing and worldbuilding can be told in animation

Is there a part 4 for this fan made

I hate the phrase "media literacy is dead" but man does it feel applicable.
