That scene when he drew his mom made me cry. What great insight of how art changes perspective.

[@Daimon0703]

That scene always hits hard 😭

[@shuzelice]

Can relate.. I read the manga, I cry. Then I watch the anime and cry again

[@joeycrunch]

Right??? I started tearing up seeing it again here, even just the snippet 😭💞

[@shirahime23]

The same happened to me. Watching this, I remembered how that particular scene elicited such a strong feeling from me. Blue Period is a very deep, honest, and real appreciation of what it means to discover something you want to commit to and how going through the highs and lows slowly transforms the inner workings of the heart and the mind as a creator and person. I wish we could get a Season 2; I'm caught up on the manga, and things have been a little slow for me since then. I'd love to see the continuation of the story animated!

Can we have part 2 please! I want more insight from her, she basically knowS what she’s talking about. This was a really enjoyable watch from a non-artist viewer

[@shirahime23]

Same, same! I'd like to critique more of the episodes, especially right before the exam for Geidai (where the mental back-and-forth in Yatora's mind is so raw and real), the bit at the seaside inn, and then the struggles of taking the exam. I'd love to listen to more of Ishidate-san's insights, both as a current practitioner of art, and as student who went through all the challenges of art school in Japan. I love the fact that she's confirming a lot of the realities that are highlighted in the series--I read somewhere that the mangaka completed his/her degree at Geidai, so it's amazing to note that the same culture has been perpetuated since his/her time then.

[@randoscience4756]

Tbh these feel too realistic, like hope, hype, and all spirit of motivated newbie at the beginning. Then the story progressed into more and more hardship being faced by yatora this lead to more twisted art perception that my smol brain can't comprehend anymore (especially when he starts going to college) yet presented in a great way. I often happy see yatora get new insight but this makes him realized another challenge appeared ahead. Overall this is a great series.

[@Nicole-jl3pd]

Yaa I wish she reacted to the later episodes tho, cause first one was just the excitement of art. Yatora starts feeling depressed and his art isn't good enough ect in later episodes and this is what most of the series is like.

[@dafaqu694]

Hoho the exams for the university is very much realistic in Japan, that blue period depictions oh my god, it makes me remembered the when it was the university enrollment exams season Although I'm not an art student, but I had a couple of friends who went there, and I just cannot believe they also had an extra art programs in my language school

As a former art student, I sometimes cry while I watch Blue Period. It's so good and heartfelt. It doesn't only represent art school stereotypes and info about the art world but it also delves deep inside the struggles, emotions, influences, and various paths of artists/designers when they enter the creative world/industry. And the best part, anyone can relate to the themes of the show whether you're an artist or not. They are universal and genuine. Really reflects one's journey in life as a whole esp when trying to discover oneself and reach goals. Kudos to the creators of both the manga and anime 💙 Can't wait for the next eps ✨ also, love the way she reviewed the show. Very insightful and concise 💖

[@piers0617]

Same here. I love how much relatable Blue Period is regarding struggles of budding artists. Especially those who are not innately talented like Yotasuke or people who haven't been drawing/painting from a young age. I cried a lot during some of the scenes because of how real they felt.

[@moroeserinokripperino871]

Since watching Blue period, I was wondering if the progression of the main protagonist is shown in a realistic way, is it really possible to get so good at art in just a year or two? I started to draw myself, and I'm not sure what to expect, I get that I'm not an anime protagonist and I'm surely not as devoted as characters in the show, nevertheless I would love to see myself a year from now, being able to draw something and feel good about it.

[@y.a.2419]

@@moroeserinokripperino871 ah I'm not entirely sure as well bc I'm not an expert. But basing from colleagues I have from the creative industry and from art school, it is possible with consistency, practice, and devotion. But ofc, it's subjective and still depends on each individual. Rooting for you! Just continue practicing and you'll get there! We're all a work in progress so don't be too hard on yourself. You can do it!

blue period man, it's a series that really hurts. it tackles the problem that artists have always faced, but especially in the modern age. it's still hard to be an artist and to profit from it. art can be applied in many ways, but to just go to art school to be an artist is SUPER vague. and man blue period just gets so real in depicted thing strained relationships between the artists and art for all of the characters. it was so raw and unfiltered, man it makes you really understand if you aren't an artist

Kudos to Netflix for this! I like how more people are now taking anime series/films w/a more serious perspective compared to my time (decades ago) when they kept calling it “cartoons.” Slice-of-life genre like Blue Period, Piano no Mori, Komi, Nodame no Cantabile, Gin no Saji, Hanasaku Iroha, Kono Oto Tomare etc. is my absolute favorite genre along w/isekai. They create a deep connection w/ us ordinary people who went through the same situations & feelings & being able to validate those feelings is truly cathartic ❤️

Anime is deep. Sometimes i dont get some topics it tackled but in the end of the episode i always learn something. Its not only about the art its about the character and the issues in society.

[@leifdux7277]

Ever since high school, I realized I enjoyed drawing a lot and put my sweat and blood while sitting on the carpet with a foldable chair as my desk. One day, I showed it to a "family member" who used to be a art director, and he totally pointed so many flaws and told me I had to draw like him if I am ever going to get a job. So, I threw away my dream and worked towards practicality. I studied hard at subjects even though I hated it deep inside, I learned how to be positive with Law of Attraction and positive mindset and exercise habits. I landed a job at IT now while meeting someone special. That special someone realized that I am not a IT person, but an artist. Now, at 26, I'm spending every ounce of my free time to make art as career, as I always wanted to do. It feels like I have much to catch up, but I think it's doable! TL;DR: Don't throw away you dream for practically (money), it will hurt you in the long run as it has done to me. I obeyed, and I threw myself away. I'm now trying to unlearn what I unwillingly forced myself to learn.

[@norysmo]

Well unfortunately you gotta think about it from a realistic standpoint as well You still need a source of income in order to live So chasing a dream that has no guarantee of success isn’t wise Now I’m not saying you shouldn’t pursue it. Because you absolutely should But you’ll still need a way to put food on the table until then And make sure it’s truly the path you want

[@SkullDixon]

As a Professional artist, I really enjoyed this series. Looking forward to another season. Doing art as your career isn't for everyone. Not everyone can take the thing they love to do and turn it into a job. For some artists turning their passion into a job ruins it for them.

I’m an architecture first semester student and the manga caught my attention before I started, and the anime came out exactly when I started, and I have been able to relate sooo much even though I am still studying something very different and also not in Japan, so for everyone doing something in the arts or just something that requires creativeness you will be able to relate

[@atrudokht]

Yeah, architecture major also learns art at the first three semesters but later will converge it with technique and engineering. That's why it's called as a hybrid of two contradicting knowledges, art and logic. I think this is also why architecture used to be the mother of all knowledge in medieval age, as most notable famous artists by that time are architect as well.

[@yourlocalfairyhere]

@@atrudokht wow, thanks a lot for sharing!

[@neyoncrayon]

I was an architecture student before but stopped after realising that I only liked the art aspects of it and not the logic. Had more than decent grades but the feeling was just so wrong. So, I'll be soon taking on an art major as no matter how hard I suppress it, art really is what I want to do. First episode in, and what the teacher made me tear up.

[@yourlocalfairyhere]

@@neyoncrayon I‘m glad you realized it and now are going to do something you really want!! For me I don’t cancel out that opinion because I also like the arts more, but for now I really like both aspects while studying!

[@archwaldo]

I'm an architect, so imma give you some advice for someone who already went through the wringer. If you want to practice architecture, don't forget to learn the BUSINESS side of it. Architecture school sets up a false expectation wherein everyone would become master architects, design their own projects, and whatnot. But thing is, it's a business. Unfortunately, due to the ungodly amount of subjects you would have to cover over the next 5 years, business management simply cannot be crammed into the curriculum. You would either have to learn the business side of things during your time as an apprentice, or do some studying on the side as soon as you can. Study some business management books, work summer jobs at an architecture firm, anything. That, and personality. Learn to become a likeable person. Principals of architecture firms are in the top seat not just because of their skills, but also their ability to ATTRACT CLIENTS. Learn to bring money into the company, and your position would be secured.

[@axserwz5022]

I'm definitely very early in my art progess, so I can't comment on the school aspect, but as it relates to the mindset of the characters in blue period, you know, the way they look at art and think about it. The realizations of Yatora as well as the mental health aspect are very accurate. In that sense I can say it is a very accurate depiction of artists. Gonna watch episode 12 today, This show was amazing, I'd love a season 2

[@turtles717]

Would love to hear her insight on the entrance exam or prep school. As a college art student, Blue period really resonates with me especially when it comes to creating an art with a purpose. Though, Yatora is a fine arts major and I'm leaning more towards graphic design, it's all the same. You have to make a work with good composition as well as a compelling story. It's a struggle to birth out ideas every week only for it to be shut down by your professors. I remember we need to create 100 logos and symbols (+sketches and a term essay) in 2 weeks and getting harsh criticism from this one professor of mine. I've cried a few times watching the show because I've heard words I really wanted to hear lmao. Having to finally understand and relate to what an main character is going through (insecurities, physical health declining, and mental burnout) really helped me a lot. Since then I've been trying my best to create art every day.

My art school was kind of useless but I taught myself digital art and others things because they had the equipment and resources. I only spent money on a drawing computer when I developed the interest of wanting to animate or draw digital art. BUT its not to help you find a job or get a job offer. My art school was shut down due to fraudulent activity, but the environment and the wide perspective it offered me, I will never forget.

Im just gonna be real, if you come from a financially struggling family or want to pursue money, going into art school isnt too "promising" but having a career in art is all about networking and seeking experience so you do have to figure things out yourself and find what works rather than going straight into a corporate job like other majors. It may be less "predictable" but there's endless possibilities. So dont lose hope if you're really passionate about it! I myself chose this bc i just cant picture me doing anything but art and its something i kinda good at so there's that.

@@sham2010 maybe go to community college if you’re in the US? It’s important to figure out what you want to get out of it! There’s also trade schools for a more affordable, practical skill set. School is not the only option as well lots of online learning tools and communities in this day

@@nna_ thank you so much for sharing this with me! I'll definitely keep this in mind. I do unfortunately come from a financially struggling family.. so I'll probably have to rethink my choices.. but I've also wanted to study architecture! In your opinion, is it a good idea? if u don't mind me asking that

@@ikariiprince I'll check on that, thank u so much! That'll probably help me out alot!

Love him so much the M. yatora…the manga and even having an actual artist react to it

[@ximenaantonio2271]

I really thank Netflix for bringing this anime, it was such a pleasure watch it. The deep emotions it gave me I won't forget. It's so relatable and accurate to see, thank you.😔💕

Bella rubrica! Complimenti 🎉

I loved the video, I think I will watch Blue Period again lol

[@ohworm1007]

This needs more hypeeee

[@nguyenhieu8142]

I haven't watch the series but i can say it really realistic when u enter the progress of being an artist

[@gailzmel6014]

Shes so wholesome helpp 😭😭

[@magbanuaromeobryanbfa-ptg1117]

I just stalked her Portfolio and wow it's amazing 😍😍😍😍

[@vera3443]

i watched this anime by chance bc i was bored and i hold this dear to my heart. it depicts cold reality but at the same time gives u a hopeful idealistic feeling yet its borderline depressing. i love it eventho i’m not an artistic person but the feels it give off is universal kudos to the team

[@khoirulidah5191]

I hope there will be a season 2 of Blue Period😍

我也是台藝大的畢業生，高職畢業後先讀學分班熟悉大學課程和修學分，修滿學分再考在職專班，我想多少是靠學科拉分吧！不然我真的不知道我的術科怎麼過關的。我的石膏像也是畫的奇差無比，大家的作品擺出來各個都是高手，打擊超大。這動畫我還不敢看，怕那些回憶會湧上心頭

[@scottcrosby-art5490]

Incredible series

[@CaioAlberto10]

velho os comentarios dela só provam o quanto a autora lutou nesse meio e o quão real foi isso, meu manga favorito de longe. o anime ficou maravilhoso também , mas essa é uma obra prara se ver os 2

[@idliketobeagummybear]

2nd year illustration student here and blue period gets certain things bang on, like mental health and motivation wise. can’t comment on selection process as i’m studying in the uk :)

[@moonyaan]

Wow definitely I'm going to watch Blue Period

[@Outsider1990]

個人也相當喜歡這部作品，它講評的部分是主角進美大之前的準備過程跟心境，但真的進入美大之後的煩惱跟衝擊才是真正讓同樣是美大的人感到共鳴的，描寫的真的十分確實，有些痛苦的過程真的是感同身受。

[@elcenizas4520]

Me encantó la serie, pude entender gracias a las clases de historia del arte que tomé en bachillerato.

[@eddieczarinahaney]

Blue period inspired me to reach my creative outlet again. Since I was a kid, I was encouraged to sketch and draw then I was interested in painting, then expanded to native beadwork and sewing. I gave up all of that for writing and now I hold this anime to my heart as I try to dive back into it. It’s a hobby to me, but to see passion and making it your life like Yatora did gives me hope. - czarina

This is way too relatable.

[@catbecool]

裡面每個人物都刻畫得很有真實感，真紀沒考過的時候，真的很替她揪心，眼淚都掉出來了😢 希望可以看到藍色時期第二季啊！實在太精采了！ 好想知道八虎後面會不會捕獲森學姐

[@Aieri_onacoffeecup]

I love love this anime anime feels so relatable to me even tho I'm not an artist.

[@minhdinh9600]

i wanted to hear more about the latter part of Blue Period, like the exam arc. it was so so tense and stress-inducing! but i guess, that would be spoilers for others? anyway, good video, Blue Period was a great anime,, got various insights about Art and drawing from this anime) would love to see season 2 in a couple of years)
