dang it.. I saw scenes from Ghibli movies I haven't watched...

Im glad me as a swiss guy watched heidi as child so very happy i helped support anime even when i didn't knew it

5:08 whats the name of the film? I cant rememver (one of the caracters its called Alita if i remember correctly).

How about an American themed anime set in the US, I mean some Japanese people wrote their interpretation of the American Revolution without knowing anything about the history and culture beyond the most basic of things. Their result was Gorge Washington fighting tigers and that alone makes me want to see what kind of gem would be created if they included some of the stereotypes like a live for guns and the refusal of using the metric system.

It aired on Cartoon Network around 2005 or 2006.

Thank you!!

Fun fact Heidi was also a real life show

Yeah even bleach is full of european references. quincy's = german, arancar = spain. Any more?

I believe that equating collectivism with diversity is a pretty bad thing to do, because the main problem of collectivism is that, it’s ANTI-diversity, collectivism doesn’t actually like it when you’re an “outlier” when you don’t conform to it, etc Otherwise I like this video

9:07 male homosexuality is a lot more common in girl stuff, because to straight girls, it’s essentially acts as a “more bang for your buck” type of deal, having two people of the gender they’re attracted in romantic or “steamy” situations is a lot more “fun” to them Same reason as to why men love lesbian relationships… or f+ta lmao

omg...how is this guy almost behind every top tier tv show I so as kid

Cause they wish they looked like people from there.

Being of British ancestry living in New Zealand this is precisely why I love anime.

Not true in the UK, Heidi was quite popular in the early 80's.They had a live action version that was from Europe that was dubbed. I also do remember the Japanese anime version as well that was also dubbed into english. I can't comment on America but in the UK it was shown on tv on kids early morning cartoons and you could get it on video.

Heidi has a reanimated show

ironic how europeans are obsessed with anime

The thing i hate the most about "Passengers" Is that the set up is PERFECT setting for a HORROR movie. Like??? It would be literally perfect if done as a horror!! Its insane why this film goes into the romantic drama direction and not the horror.

When i was little in like 2014 i watched heidi all day great memories

As a fond consumer of Overwatch content until the end of 2023, I'm proud to say I immediately recognised his voice. It was refreshing

BTW they also agree that the game is only over when the ball drops because volleyball is one of the only sports without a time limit. It only progresses with points scored. Little pragmatic, but also tells you about the type of people who play, and how important their resolve is. I think the Tsukishima part wasn't a strong point, though I'm surprised you didn't point out Tsukishima as a foil for Hinata specifically. Someone not passionate, someone who relies on careful thought instead of pure effort, someone who already has the natural gift of height. "Dark" character is a little vague, but I understand you didn't want to give spoilers. Your points on why it's a good first episode are great! I actually think it can be boiled down even further to Haikyuu's dedication to "show-don't-tell" and use of symbolism. No one has to tell you Hinata is an amiable person (I think only Sugawara literally mentions it much later when he makes friends with Yachi). Hinata doesn't say "I want to be like him!" or "I am obsessed and self-motivated!" You can see him work himself to bits yourself, you can see him not give up in hopeless situations, you can see his eyes light up when anyone mentions the Little Giant. The symbolism, don't get me started. But even the shots, the lighting, the music... Almost everything cinematography-related in Haikyuu is an intentional decision, a lit major's wet dream. The shadow Hinata casts on his friend is just like when a giant is looming over a person (sound like someone trying to be a giant?). Hinata is always looking at the source of light (the ball, his obsession), sometimes he even is the source of light cast on other people while they stare at him and his resolve in awe. When so many things are pregnant with meaning you get a lot of feelings... At least for me it makes me look forward to unravelling the rest of the story. That's why I thought it was a good first ep. Maybe I'm just a sucker for metaphors. Lastly I think those of us who think Haikyuu is "perfect" also find the underdog story very compelling. Even from the beginning; Yukigaoka, Hinata's middle school has a very humble name "snowy hill" while Kitagawa Daiichi literally has No. 1 in the name lmao. You can also see a bit of underdog rivalry between a small school in the rural areas (with not enough members/budget for a club!) VS a renowned school with a stacked roster and a coach. One side has a natural advantage and one does not. You kind of see the bigger conflict always getting hinted at outside mere volleyball; the conflict of philosophies on what it takes to succeed, whether the underdog can win.

正直言ってヨーロッパやアメリカの歴史や文化めっちゃ好きなんよ もちろん良い所、悪い所はあるけど人類が作り上げた歴史って素晴らしいよ

Dude stop pretending that Japan only became militaristic after being influenced by Europe. It was always hugely militaristic. Its entire social structure was based on militarism & you could only be part of the upper class if you were a warrior. Japan also attempted invasions of other countries & expansion of their empire before European influence. You never heard of their slaughter of Korea as they attempted to get to China during the Sengoku Jidai?

Self-validation and eurocentrism at its finest. The reason of the "obsession" is because japanese people didn't had any other option than consume what the english and americans put on the table, they lost a w4r after all and were occupied. The intellectual capacity in the people in the comments like "eUrOpE sUpeRiOr" just proves my point of how weak, empty and egocentric this video is and what kind of... "People" attracts. It is cute how mindless europeans need to trick themselves and believe japan inconditionally loves Europe, when in reality is just attraction for its aesthetic... And aestherics from 2d world war countries.

Isnt the entire modern entertainment industry the obsessed with Europe? World of Warcraft human faction is European, Black Desert,

Damn I used to watch this when I was like 4😂

Incredible video! I was thinking the same thing lately.

I want to say I used to watch some of the Heidi movies when i was a kid , always loved them

HEIDI WAS JAPANESE????

Heidi is JAPANESE???

I'm not a huge anime watcher, I've seen a few but I wouldn't say I'm an anime fan. Haikyuu is one of if not my favorite out of the ones I've seen. It's so good.

Honestly as a European person thanks for always making Europe look beautiful Japan i would love to visit you someday

Anime has succeeded so far because it has not being touched by American financialized capital. Anything Blackrock capital touches dies.

I was searching the answer of this question for a long time, "Why Europe". Thank you for this video, it was really helpful ❤

'Heidi' was one of my childhood favorites! thanks for this video, well done! 👏

The world is Eurocentric or rather West-centric in general. It started with colonisation &continued with American imperialism. English language, McDonald's, Hollywood, Disney are everywhere, setting the trends. I used to live in China & it's the same. it's more European culture & style, not really Europe itself, as most people in the far east don't really know much about specific European countries, but they like the idea of Europe / West. It's reverse orientalism. It's even more obvious & pronounced in anime, the characters themselves look European even when they're Japanese. Perhaps it's a form of internalised racism. I'd say the stories are mostly Japanese, but there are some popular EU & American ones as well. I remember watching the Wizard of Oz anime as a kid. On the other hand Disney usually does non American stories, popular around the world. Perhaps because most fairly tales begin with "in a far away land". It helps the imagination to fly away if the characters aren't like us i guess. Good video ❤

Thank you for this good video

I think that Japan's interest Europe is the same reason why the West has had a deep interest in the East; it's so different that it might as well be another world. Something like that is incredibly interesting and easy to romanticize. And since at the end of the days we are all human, despite the differences, it makes sense that Japan would be fascinated by the West.

If a character is going to redeem themselves they have to be accountable of their actions. Learns from their mistakes they do not continue to repeat the behaviors they used before.

Oscar, condemned to a life of a warped identity and psyche...by a tyannical father ...is somehow a good thing ... right.

0:39 wrong map of india.

Simply to be put, i think we're All just Obssesds with finding the Truth! 😂😎👍

Kishotenketsu is more about an Experience of Growth and Change happening in the Story. The Characters Development is more Important and the Plot isn't about Good or Bad but how to Life Changes us and We accept, Learn, and Continue on in live with more Experience. The Tehcnic itself reflects How Lives Work. It's Start wtih the what we Expected, but then Excalated with a lot of Out of Nowhere Chalanges, the Unexpected will happen and we must find away to Understand and Face it, and when it's Over we just have to Reflect and Learn from it as soemthing New and Valueble. The Conflict can be there but isn't Nessary so it doesn't really matter, like we do expereince Conflict in life but isn't something we must Destroy but rather Learn from it. It's All about Learning through Life.

Europe is no longer Europe, it's Eurabia now

What I also find interesting about what the show did with Zuko’s character was make his story arc the antithesis to his sister Azula’s: While he started out having it rough, being disgraced and told he wasn’t good enough, Azula was (on the surface) “living her best life” - in other words, having all the privilege and natural talent to have a prosperous life within the Fire Nation, it isn’t until the final season that the roles eventually reverse, with Zuko overcoming his difficulties and gaining a much easier life afterwards, whereas Azula 😒 began to get in over her head and gained a life of strife that she unfortunately bought on herself 😔😭.

20:11 "DonQuiote DoFlamingo"

6:46 Even Hello Kitty is British! lol

This could be called "why Europe is obsessed with Japan"

Why is svb narrating this

Romanticization, which only leads to Europeans having a bigger superiority complex.
