Started watching this but man this makes me want to read it again and revisit this video afterwards

58:52 I really need the anime treatment for this one panel and the scenes leading up to it. Also your analysis is actually worth listening to. You really convinced me that it made a lot of sense for Clare to team up with Riful.

I didn't even know that other people knew that The 12 Kingdoms existed, i thought it was my slightly low-budget gatekept gem :')

Good things end...bad things are forever...like taxes.....

American: _"Cute ruins it."_ Japanese: _"Cute makes it better, seriousness ruins it."_ A tale as old as time.

First anime series I ever watched. And to be 'that' guy: Eucatastrophe is when a good thing happens because a bad event occurs. Gollum getting the Ring from Frodo appears to be worse case but it's only because of that event that leads to the destruction of the Ring. And Crusader is right, it IS peak writing.

0080 was incredible. omg that's david hayter? yeah... the dub was really good. 0080 is definitely a recommendable tragedy.

4:20 side note - Ed doesn't wear a religious cross on his back. It's Flamel's symbol, which is just "the alchemy symbol"

The 03 anime is so much better imo

I agree with you in that both are high quality pieces of work that tell different stories with the same characters. If I want a brighter adventure story in that universe, I go with Brotherhood. If I want a darker character study, I go with '03. I wish that the '03 show was more readily available to watch.

This was one of my favorite shows from when I was a kid. My parents didn’t really question my choice in anime…so I got to watch some that maybe I shouldn’t have quite yet. But I loved the music and the story. I’m personally grateful that I didn’t know about season 2.🩷

Growing up i absolutely was ADDICTED to watching blood+ and am devastated that it necer vontinued. I trued reading some fan fic just to satisfy my curiosity for more details but just wasnt the same. If they are ever truly able yo bring back + will be the day i break down sobbing.

The attention to the gentlemanly premise to war (see The Geneva Conventions and Nationalism), the story pacing and push and pull on the characters intentions, and the way the technical world interleaves into the story to provide opportunities and problems all resulted in a teenage obsession that continues into the manga and realised prequel animation

It was so underrated, and now we'll never see season 3 😭😭

back in the early 2000s there was a REALLY BAD HABIT of butchering someones work. Sometimes its excused, Full metal alchemist barely had a bunch of volumnes when then first ahnime was made , so they had to make their own take. But if there is something i can say about FMA anime... was that it understood part of its home assignment. Sure, it was more broody and depressive, but because it had the more broody and depressive moments from the manga compressed. then you have Gantz, the moment gantz separated from the manga, it was downhill. When it comes to this topic im very stubborn about author iintent preservation. And ... i have to be on the author side. Sorry if you liked the butchered version, but the author is the owner of the IP and he decides if this work represents his. And if he doesn-t maybe it doesnt I didnt read the manga, maybe the manga had season 1 style stories but the anime was going into a very dark territory the manga never wanted to touch, after all, something similar happened with Fullmetal alchemist, wich veered into a more grounded approach, there was no father, the door is barely mentioned. Instead its more focused on the human aspect. ON the alchemists. I LOVE tucker having an entire development non existant in the manga... Still i recognize the manga is the real Full metal alchemist, the anime was more of , just an adaptation, a sister project.

I watched it, one of my inspo. I also got some mangas from the series

I didn't even realize there was a show. I just remember watching the movie back when i was probably way too young to be watching it on adult swim lmfao it helped get me into anime, though. 😂

Title is too real

How amazing would it be if ruin explores and slayers took place in the same world

yep. It's a tradtion.

My favorite anime when I was a kid

What do you think about Re:zero? I was curious to see it in your mal top 10. Although I'm a reader of the source, it's the kind of series in which I need to see how it ends before I fully make my mind about it.

I like the light novel Which light novel? Yes (kidding but it was a cool video to something i never knew about)

I hope the next anime has something to do with Scotland.

I absolutely adore both versions of FMA, they are both in my top 10 animes of all time. While I do overall prefer Brotherhood, the material that both series cover, or what comprises the first 13 or so episodes in Brotherhood, is done with much more poise, subtlety, and is fleshed out far more in the original series. Plus, I actually enjoy 2003's filler episodes, as they are some of the best examples of how to do filler tastefully.

kinda sucks, tbh! It's extremely overwrought. The main character self-reflects for 3 minutes just to say what basically amounts to "people die when they are killed", 5 or 6 times an episode, and the show fucking crawls as a result. There's also a musical interlude in the 2nd episode that lasts 10 minutes. It's fine, but it sure as fuck ain't *good*.

Man its crazy and he is right....bill gates and R words kids and everyone loves him and works his D...corporations can do anything, even kill you and get off scott free

Remember? Is actually living in my head, rent free.

hell yeah, i even played the games. Not all though and i was surprised Suda51 had a hand in Blood+ game. About Blood C it's practically CLAMP going a lot rusty because Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle and xxxHolic ARE GODDAMN GOOD! (in my eyes) and you could arguably say that it was Blood in name only

great vid and manga thanks!!!

Claymore deserves an anime reboot/remake/continuation or whatever!

I don't really find the premise that stupid. If you're looking to train the perfect assassin, one thing you might look for is a sense of innocence. A sense that this person could do no wrong. Someone a high profile target wouldn't take a second glance. Someone you would not expect to be a bloodthirsty killer on aesthetics alone. Someone small and agile. Like a child soldier. And even then, in our society young boys for the most part have a sense of being rowdy and unpredictable. So young cyborg girls seems like the logical next step to that. I can't believe I just came up with a logical explanation for a "Little Girls with big guns" anime. I've literally never even seen this series (yet) and just your video has really pulled me into this world.

43:55. You did NOT just use the music for himeno. Thanks for the trauma revival.

So what's the anime with that nice girl in the thumbnail

I think the illustration explaining why Claus is paralyzed seems inaccurate. The image shown is from the Last Exile Aerial Log book. However, the art book that contains the relevant information is actually Last Exile Aerial Log Ginyoku no Fam , which has a different cover from the one shown in the video.

I remember when Kare Kano came out back in the day. Watching it at conventions and anime club screenings. We all thought it was cool. I even bought the CD soundtrack and DVD box set. I finally bought that last DVD like five years ago at Book Off. I still need to finish the manga itself.

it is one of my fav series to this day, I recommend this to everyone that ask me the best anime series. i wish they would recreate this and adept the whole manga. this series deserves that its far superior to the like of chainsaw man and demon slayers

Endless waltz. A gundam anime and around Christmas

no mention on the blonde ancient knight is much older than Diva?

I read Claymore, finished it, but thought that although entertaining, it wasn't great

Birdy The Mighty is my all time favorite. But Plastic Little is definitely one to check out, of course because you mentioned it had a fantastic plot.

The original BGC (specifically ep 8) was one of my first introductions to anime 30 years ago at a local anime club. This video was such a great trip down memory lane.

This anime changed my life as 13yo with limited knowledge on anime culture, finding it randomly on buckeye VOD is a core memory

I actually didn't watch season 2 because i didn't like the opening song. Yes, it's a stupid reason, but i was a teenager. Seems like, i did the right thing after all.

The mangaka needs to re-train himself in the art of good hairstyles. What's up with all those lame bowl cuts and receding hairlines? Ugh.

Claymore is basically a female Witcher

I didnt know Angel densetsu came from the same guy, its a series that deserved more anime made but it is what it is, the manga was great, lots of character growth and funny moments, its maybe a little bit longer then it needed to be but was a fun read none the less.

Ik I’m late asf but, I love this video, please make more like this.😂

The crazy age gaps with young girls and old men might be influenced by what society dictates and what most men say they prefer, they often say "we like young girls" so this gets to the collective conscious and authors, especially women authors, think is the best thing to do because they seek validation from said men or they try to project that into their characters. But it's a vicious circle because they deliver weird content including couples with age gaps, that was influenced by the idea of what men prefer and also they feed that weird idea.

I recommend reading Angel Densetsu. It's very wholesome and funny.
