FIRST TIME HEARING ANIME BUGGY | One Piece Anime Reaction Episode 5 6

[@Noxiddar]

Next time I'll remember to upload the thumbnail with the video too! Haha. Pause For Effect... I'm still learning as I go. As I'm learning the ins and outs of reacting, I'm learning a lot about myself and how I view things going on around me. It's been an interesting ride. I loved these two episodes, with Buggy's voice performance being the absolute highlight! WOW. What incredible range!

[@Nastyn1nja808]

Yeah the way he slides from Menacing to a kind of screech is always hilarious to me. And OPLA Buggy did a great Job with his portrayal

[@dariusfafoutakis8021]

Buggy is one of my top 30 characters but far from top 10. I can't wait for you to see more from legends like Mihawk, Shanks, and many other big time pirates. Prepare for better fights going forwards too. Luffy v Arlong is much better in the source material.

[@Noxiddar]

Absolutely! I can't wait to pause and talk about them, too, and get some of the audience riled up about that! Haha.

[@johnmarkulep5339]

When Nami said she likes money and tangerines; in Chinese, tangerines represent wealth, so Nami likes money and more money!👌🤣😂👍

[@ReiseLukas]

37:00 This song is called "Mother Sea" the song that always makes me cry. Fun Fact it is actually a slowed down version of the first Opening song We Are. Orange Town I've looked back at recently and I appreciate it far more now than when I first watched it. The dog's backstory is sad but it's determination is so beautiful.

[@wpelfeta]

I really love the Live Action Buggy, but anime Buggy is really such a completely different character. I think I prefer the LA Buggy, but in truth, the original Buggy was from a time before every clown villain had Joker vibes.

[@Noxiddar]

I could see the Joker comparison, but I really felt the performance was far more intentional than "just sound maniacal and crazy." He really sounds like a one man band. But each sound or instrument also sounds like a split personality, with its distinct pitch, tone, and resonance. It makes me think of the sounds from that scene in Merry Poppins where Bert had all those instruments attached to him, and they make the most obnoxious honks and groans, but it was funny. And I can't help but think there was at least some thought about what it means to be a pirate engrossed in the clown and circus theme. Live Action Buggy, for the little screen presence he had in his introductory episode, REALLY sold the idea of someone spurned by the success of another (Shanks). I know I'll be getting to the flashback in the anime that explains it, but I thought Jeff Ward did SO much heavily lifting in such a short order, even though we got to see more of him in more situations in the LA. I'm looking forward to getting to see more of this Buggy performance, though!

[@dariusfafoutakis8021]

He's very much more of a grimy, fail upwards type of character. But he's hilarious and dresses like a clown. His DF isn't the best but is exactly the opposite of Luffys. Immunity to edged weapons or other physical weapons is still good.

[@dariusfafoutakis8021]

I'll be here to answer some non spoiler questions as we go.

[@Jitter4788]

LMAO that comparison of buggy's voice to a violin was too accurate. I've never thought of it that way before.

[@Noxiddar]

The voice performance for Buggy was so intricate and unique. I had such a great time breaking down and appreciating it. I love hearing that I'm offering new ways to appreciate these things as well! That's amazing! Glad you are enjoying! ☝️✌️🏴‍☠️

[@depressedtv]

One piece literally has the best flash backs out of anything ever. They become some of the best parts of the whole thing.

[@suffox5569]

Fun fact: Buggy is Oda's favourite character in the entire story, from day 1 up until nowdays. That said, I'm not good in deep analysis as you are, but I'm sure you will be able to get a lot of nice analysis and refernces on him :)

[@Noxiddar]

Have you ever seen Parks and Rec? I feel like Andy Dwyer when he is shining shoes and making all these tips for his personality, and he just looks at the camera and says, "I have no idea what I'm doing, but I know that I'm doing it really well." That's basically what it feels like to me when people tell me I'm doing a great job at analysis. Haha. I'm not an expert on anything, so instead, I just kind of wing it. *ikiataribattari*! I appreciate the compliment and the insight! Learning these things is so great for expanding my understanding and deepening my appreciation!

[@IcepickEvans]

Actually, a big inspiration for one piece is Vicky the Viking, which is a cartoon based on a swedish novel. Among I'm sure other shounen like Dragon Ball.

[@lonewolf9325]

That oddly played violin like Buggy is being pulled apart, was genius.

[@Noxiddar]

The sound design behind Buggy and his voice performance just gives me chills. There is so much to it that it just transforms what would be an otherwise "clown pirate that's like the Joker" into a wholly incredible individually realized character. I really think it's my favorite voice performance in the show so far by a mile!

[@christina_1313]

What an amazing opening! Great voice acting! :D Sad animals are just an winning formula - put some sad music on and tears start flowing~~ Love your take on these episodes and your stories to go along ^-^

[@Noxiddar]

This is especially true for me with Lions! Whether Lion King or Chronicles of Narnia, I'm losing it when a mighty king falls!

[@josiedavis3792]

I don't want to spoil anything but you talking about Luffy experiencing shell shock from watching someone's treasure being destroyed really got me thinking about later episodes of the show. And I don't know if Oda had really fleshed out that part of Luffy at this point in the series so it might be a case of retroactive confirmation, but he's absolutely seen dreams end before.

[@skits_3d824]

I like your commentary between pauses😂 Diffrent takes is alright in my book. Just like trying to find THE man. The pandaman. Plays "you are a pirate." Song

[@Noxiddar]

Haha. The intro is definitely more of an allegory of how I respond in my head to when people tell me what I need to do. I don't have that red beard and stubborn disposition for nothing! Honestly, I'm just noticing that it's a lot of fun to record, but it can make taking hours of recording in to edit a chore every time. I think this 2 episode group was just shy of 2 hours. So, I'm really thankful people are enjoying what I do, I'm just afraid of burning out in the editing room before they see what I've done. It's definitely a double-edged sword.

[@Nastyn1nja808]

​​@@Noxiddarlol damn you work so hard my friend. Also yes yiur thought are welcome.

[@keero58]

man, I know you will continue but damn, I really HOPE you continue with these reactions haha

[@Noxiddar]

That is definitely my intent! I'm glad you are enjoying!

[@MugiwaraMSH]

Dug the analysis on Buggy’s voice! The themes with treasure in Orange Town set up motivations in the future. And I loved chochu going against Richie. It’s like a visualization of the most ferocious threat to your dream and then still defending that. Another w reaction!

[@Noxiddar]

I definitely took that analysis to the nth degree. Haha. But it was so fascinating to me, because I was expecting to make more of a comparison to, say, Mark Hamill's Joker. And there's some comparisons to be made to be sure, but Joker's playfulness comes from his complete descent into madness, chaos, and anarchy. Buggy felt like someone with multiple personality disorder that was at constant war, for which voice would take control. It was like he was caught between wanting the love of his crew and the fear of his enemies. It was so wildly inconsistent in the delivery, but not in the way an amateur delivery would be. I really felt like I was listening to a master voice performer at work. I absolutely loved hearing it for the first time!

[@thomasbrown4626]

The Austin Powers and Zamboni thing was you mixing your movies together. The Zamboni was Deadpool but he was trying to run someone over with it. The Austin powers thing was him on a really slow moving vehicle thing in a hall and him yelling to get out of the way. both were funny as hell.

[@yellowlili221]

subscribed! If you don't know already, the Japanese dub for OPLA was done by the original VA for the anime, so Jeff Ward with this Buggy VA was a trip lol

[@Noxiddar]

That's so great! I LOVE this voice actor's performance of Buggy! I'm still considering doing a reaction to the Japanese dub for the OPLA after we pass Arlong Park in the anime. I think it would be really fun!

[@megajgbc]

Awesome commentary, really funny opening and pauses during the video haha.

[@darraghtalorgan1905]

There's two notable stories about dogs like you're talking about; that's the Japanese Hatchiko that was about a dog that would wait for his owner every day at the train station for him to come home. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hachik%C5%8D The other is Scottish, Greyfriars Bobby, which was a had a similar story (though a hundred or so years before) about a dog that would similarly wait at his owners grave. The dogs got a statue in Edinburgh. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greyfriars_Bobby

[@matthewpopow6647]

Buggy's casting, fight,vocal work, changes were all near perfection. My only grip is that netflix was way to reliant on knocking out their characters to get them in the situation they need them to be in. (Zoro in in syrup village being the 'worst' offense). My main nitpick is they didnt show buggy's most insane feats that put him on par with even the most recent villians. He scared Zoro's BACK! And SWOLLOWED A WHOLE PINEAPPLE! LOL

[@sacke1103]

nice vid , loved your stories from japan, had no idea the falling to the side thing was real lmao.

[@Noxiddar]

I appreciate that! Yeah, I was totally caught off guard the first time someone did it. I thought they had a seizure or something. Haha. But it was always fun when I'd see a student come in and the vice principal would be talking to them, and then all of a sudden, they'd be in extreme lean hopping on one foot. Little emotive moments that made me feel like I was in an anime myself. Haha. Glad you enjoyed!

[@skyuru]

28:00 yeah the doggo appeared in the live-action (but unfortunately they had to cut that part of the story due to the limit of budget...)

[@MirthfulMikey]

Definitely use the AI for Nami next 😂 also your SpongeBob impression was crazy 😮

[@Noxiddar]

One vote for Nami! I dont know if the world is ready for Namiddar, though! Haha. And thanks about SpongeBob! I love voice acting, so naturally, I'm going to focus heavily on it in the first introduction to a character! Especially one like Buggy!

[@a_mets1506]

Nice reaction! Every arc on east blue has themes that sets the starting line or main philosophy of the show! Romance dawn arc (ep1-4) Following your dreams Orange town (current reaction) What is a treasure It's nice that you're noticing these things!

[@Noxiddar]

I'm so glad you are enjoying! Some of the themes are pretty crystal clear, but some of it I've kind of gleaned from comments people make too. I love how this isn't just a surface level reaction series. I'm really trying to pull things out and add value, and co-create a unique experience thanks to the kindness and wisdom of One Piece veterans like yourself. Thank you so much for all the support and guidance. It has been overwhelming in the best way!

[@corvus6381]

Your reactions are truly something unique. I really like it! The pausing doesnt bother me at all and hearing all your thoughts is really fascinaing. I know the series is a behemoth but I hope you do the whole thing^^

[@Noxiddar]

I really appreciate hearing this! Thank you for being part of this journey. I'd like to take it all the way! 🙏 ☝️✌️

[@patricklatham3897]

The dog was referenced in Live Action episode 2 near the end.

[@Noxiddar]

Right, I remember watching a reaction, and someone had pointed it out! I like that they still gave nods where they could. But I do also like ChouChou's story!

[@Nastyn1nja808]

​@@Noxiddaryeah most people remember Seymour from Futurama. Frys dog. Both Seymour and Chouchou are based on a real dog in Japan. As I'm sure you know. The dogs master died but the dog waited at the train station everyday. Damn.

[@Noxiddar]

I did not know that. Interesting. That gives that storyline even more weight, especially if it's a well-regarded story in Japan.

[@a_mets1506]

In episode 2 of the live action Mohji is the one carrying the laugh sign! And Buggy had a line implying Richie "Oh where oh where is the dancing lion?" because they had to cut chou-chou's storyline. But we do see chou-chou at the end of that episode! ☺️

[@Noxiddar]

The live action did such a great job of letting side stories have some recognition while keeping up the pace. The more I see of One Piece, the more I'm realizing it wasn't just market fluff when they said a lot of love went into production. We really are living in the best timeline for One Piece, and I'm so thankful I have a chance to be a part of it!

[@Cloud-pm3lj]

Give this man a cast in one piece live action already!

[@Noxiddar]

That would be amazing!

[@lonewolf9325]

You seem like having Fun🌝

[@Noxiddar]

I'm having a great time!

[@athoscannavo8919]

Dont care about pausing. The people who complain about it dont appreciate you enough. You go very deep in each episode you watch and it makes you see things i needed to rewatch the series several times to note. I specially liked your remark on the way buggy is presented by the voice actor. Later in the series, you may discover how spot on you were. Keep Strong💪❤

[@Noxiddar]

I appreciate the kind words! Looking forward to bringing more. About to hop into Episode 8 tonight!

[@quintonhowells299]

I loved that pocket watch bit coz you were adlibbing it all the way to its conclusion

[@Noxiddar]

Oh yeah! You can definitely see it on my face. Haha. The funny thing is that I take the reaction so seriously, but the adlib is closer to my actual temperament and personality. Hopefully, I can draw that out in some of the silly intros from time to time. It's a good brain break from analyzing! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@OtomostheCrazy]

Love the analysis, and I’m glad you’re enjoying the anime XD

[@Noxiddar]

I think what is so special is that I'm not JUST sitting down to enjoy it. I'm also taking in a quarter century of story told by one author and how deeply it has affected millions. And so I'm constantly trying to keep that perspective of all the years of hard work and care that went into this, as well as all the love that has poured out of it as well. Then there's the stories that what I'm seeing reminds me of. This is definitely an incredibly special journey, and I'm so excited to see where it goes!

[@nevaladder]

Your school anecdotes are so much fun. 😂

[@Noxiddar]

It's so wild because a lot of these memories have been dormant in my brain from as far back as 13 years ago. I can't tell you how exciting it is to recognize something that sparks a memory. Ultimately, it's one of the reasons I've wanted to continue with the reactions. I really just anticipated doing the final trailer to the live action and playfully tossed out the idea of reacting to the show. Then I finished the Live Action and couldn't imagine NOT doing this. Plenty more where that came from, I'm sure of it!

[@josephgatts1679]

The best characters in One Piece are the ones wearing Cowboy Hats.

[@Noxiddar]

So I've heard!

[@Nastyn1nja808]

36:43 this is my #2 Favorite Punch from Luffy in the whole series. This was the first time Oda put so much Fine detail on a page. Akin to Master Roshis first Kamehameha page.

[@Babawze]

I liked Jeff Ward's acting a lot in the OPLA, but his portrayal feels very Joker to me, more than scrummy clown Buggy. It terms of sound and energy, I think Charlie Day would have been perfect (see Charlie in "Always Sunny in Philadelphia", add the deviousness of Dennis and scrummyness of Frank)

[@Noxiddar]

Charlie Day would be pretty fun. I agree with him seeming more like the Joker when he leaned into the more sinister aspect of Buggy. But when he was generally being goofy, I actually felt like his energy was channeling more of Michael Keaton's Beetlejuice. He was definitely up to no good, but very playful about going about it, in a way that at times felt non-threatenjng. With the Joker, he sounded playful, but everything he said and did was so heavily laced in madness. Like he fed off of fear that chaos brought. Buggy wanted adoration. I feel like Joker is too on the no--God, now it's in my head! 🤣

[@Babawze]

[@GalekC]

Could be inspired from Indiana Jones with his hat, could also be based from Higashikata Josuke in JoJo Part 4 with his hair, could be both !

[@Noxiddar]

I think I probably also thought of Indiana Jones because of some of the prominent brass in the music that has that kind of adventurous sound. It's not a direct influence, and maybe it's just one for me because I've always loved Indiana Jones!

[@Nastyn1nja808]

32:56 lol the slow breakdown to laughter lol

[@Noxiddar]

They say good comedians don't laugh at their jokes, but they never came across my ridiculous form of storytelling. Haha! I love doing those little jokey breakdowns. I feel like I'm so serious in the actual reaction, but your timestamp is probably more accurately how I am all the time. I love observational humor and storytelling humor!

[@Nastyn1nja808]

@@Noxiddar lol I'm really loving the snippets of insight. Like the falling over sideways thing! Japan is such a wondrous place yo!

[@Noxiddar]

It really is! There's that saying, "You don't know what you got until it's gone," and that is so true of my time in Japan. I knew in my early to mid 20s that where I was and what I experienced was special. But it really wasn't until years later up to now that I understand how special where I was and what I experienced was to ME. I don't think I'd be able to make a reaction series like this if I were younger. It would have a totally different vibe. I smile because this time, I FULLY understand how special where I am and what I am experiencing is to ME. And especially to so many others. It is downright magical.

[@nevaladder]

The Shanks hair looks good on you!

[@nestor1987octubre]

I don't mind the pause discussion but it will be better if you watch a scene complete then you talk about it, I feel like you lost perspective when you cut something that supposed to be fluid. That's just a personal opinion. You keep on the good 🎉reactions

[@Noxiddar]

That's fair, but my goldfish brain would likely forget what I wanted to say, or I'd think about so.ething new and lose the reaction altogether. I talk a lot because I think a lot. So I've got: pause less (think less), pause more (think more), and as you say--pause when appropriate (think only at the correct moment). It'll never be good enough for anyone, and that's why people can have their opinions on which is best, but my way will always be mine. I don't set out to make perfect videos. I just try to make videos that perfectly represent me. I appreciate the suggestions and encouragement! This has been such a thrilling adventure so far! Thank you for letting me play a small part in YOUR One Piece story, and thank you for being a part of mine! ☝️✌️🏴‍☠️

[@h.o.p.e1415]

Bro will be at year 2025 when he reach 1000 episode

[@Noxiddar]

True. Hopefully, it will just be the uploads, though, and not the recordings also! The goal is to start doing multiple video recordings every couple nights. At any rate, I'm certainly not in a rush. Evidenced by my insane need to stop and talk. Believe me, as someone who has to edit all that... even I wish I was a bit more expedient. Haha!

[@h.o.p.e1415]

@@Noxiddar it still refreshing how insightful you are with the content, hope you catch up soon to the hype, we will follow you through the journey my man

[@Noxiddar]

@h.o.p.e1415 I appreciate that! Given practice and suffering through enough long edits, I should be able to start getting more efficient and expedient so that I can deliver consistent quality and start to build up a backlog of videos. I think the goal I'd eventually like to shoot for is a new reaction every other day. But I'll need some time to record and edit it. It'll be a slow crawl in the beginning, but I've got around 1000 videos to my channel (around half privated) so I should be able to outwork the steady March of time in short order!

[@Noxiddar]

It's funny. The dopamine rush of seeing bigger numbers elicits quite an excitement. But truly, I'm not too fussed about performance and metrics. I've sat in Japanese translations playing guitar and singing until my fingers were raw and bloodied, and my voice could scant hold a tune. What gave me fresh life was seeing someone walk by and watch their entire demeanor change. A whole moment could turn someone's life around, even if but for another fleeting moment. That, for me, is the ultimate high. And knowing that I've had the chance to hopefully do that for a few already. It's all the treasure I need. But I do look forward to these wonderful conversations along the way!

[@stalhein62]

After all, why not? Why shouldn’t I subscribe to yet another person starting their One Piece journey?

"Oh... my old nostalgia, I should very much like to hold it one time" *Cue Bilbo jumpscare* It's so funny that you referenced Bilbo as especially when I left the Shires of Middle America to Japan, I took one book with me, The Hobbit.

[@stalhein62]

@@Noxiddar I wouldn’t call myself an expert on this series (compared to the people who definitely are), but I’ve followed this series for 17 years or so. That’s the part a lot of new reactors don’t immediately grasp about a long running series - this has been a continual part of people’s lives for an generation. Children grew up watching it and now watch it with their own children. And with the end just about coming into sight, although probably still 5 years or so away, now’s a great time to try and catch up before we all find out the secrets Oda has been leading us to for so long.

[@Noxiddar]

As someone who wrote and self-published a book. I can honestly relate. Though the months I spent pale in comparison with the over quarter century Oda Sensei has invested into his. I can appreciate how endearing this is to so many. And it's certainly helped shape the lens I look through in my reactions!

[@bachuchumonsta]

damn, I just noticed how Buggy's va was really great.

[@Noxiddar]

It really is! I was incredibly surprised. People likened it to Joker, but I don't think so beyond the theatrical overdramatic flair. But Buggy is doing way more musical things with his voice. He sounds like an orchestra warming up. His voice slides in scales, and it gets shrill and trill, but it also gets low and weighty. I always saw Mark Hamill's Joker as more of a maniacal showman. Emphasis on maniacal, where the showman nature was in his presentation. But Buggy is a contrarion caught between wanting to be loved for what he does and feared for who he is. He sees pirates as cutthroat killers, but he wants to give everybody a show too (like when he convinces the crew he swallowed the DF) and for the moment he reveled in his own performance before Shanks ruined it. I always feel like characters in One Piece need time to cut through the layers of personality. So, I often find it tedious when I do come around the random dismissive comment about him sounding like the Joker. (Not you, of course, now I'm on a soft rant. Haha) That's so awesome that you are finding new things to appreciate. That's certainly my goal with reacting to this series is to just stop and appreciate things. I've been trained so much by western Hollywood fluff to just shut my brain off and consume. So I'm LOVING being able to actually watch something that makes me think, and most importantly, appreciate the art and production that went into it! ☝️✌️🏴‍☠️
