[@MrPooleish]

Always good to hear people are taking care of themselves and trying to enjoy things more.

[@thorhighheels]

whoa coffee cakes is in the video : )

[@JenerikEt]

omg thank you. I've been depressed AF and your videos always put me in a zone where I can just feel normal about everything. this showed up at just the right time

[@tenebrousoul9368]

She's like a shot of seratonin

[@greengaleproductions]

Fantastic vid, even if it's technically "filler". Legit, I keep forgetting how chill your videos are. Good vibes all around.

[@yurineri2227]

but for real I love how tsukihime uses circular writhing to get you in the headspace of someone stuck on obsessive circular thinking, the game would have been super boring for me if it wasn't how Nasu described Shiki's messed-up headspace

[@heim8099]

Yes, thank you for saying this.

[@HolyDeviant1]

It's a weakness and a strength of Nasu's work, there's something about how they describe things that lends it a lot of weight, not to mention the absolute fun they have in their own fiction.

[@foreignerhill]

Also I know this comment is kind of unrelated to this video, but just wanna say that I've discovered your music this year (much later than you as a youtuber), and you've become my favorite musician. Period. Alongside one of my favorite video essayists. I don't know if you'd read this, but I just wanted to say thank you for penning As Much As I Forget, an album that ended up meaning so so much to me, alongside your Elfen Lied video. Thank you. If I end up making a video essay channel, I'm probably going to cite your channel as an inspiration. (Can't say the same for music though) alright now time to watch this video

[@vapen3910]

Where can I find her music?

[@marvelousTUD]

@@vapen3910 Her music is under the name “Twinkle Park”, and she should be on iTunes and Spotify and stuff

[@Atrere]

Aggrevated Conditions and "excerpt of a mathy lil riff" are etched into my brain.

[@luna010]

she's also on bandcamp as Twinkle Park. Btw, she recently made a compilation of stuff from unfinished projects, commissions, etc. I would reccomend checking it out. There are 63 tracks total, 8 of which are commentary tracks.

[@luna010]

I'm curious if im the only one who found her music first. I found her through Kara's Walk Home(fucking amazing band btw), then a while later I stumbled into this here youtube channel from the sonic adventure video.

[@danteheads]

the utena bit was a personal attack , i physically left my room , why did you did that to my poor heart , welcome back hazel lmao

[@terra-byte]

New Thor and new Hazel back to back? Hell yeah!! There’s a certain quality to your videos that makes me want to give media I come across more of a chance and to meet it on its own terms, so thanks for that

[@Thundersz]

Hazel is one of those youtubers I can endlessly rewatch, seriously thank you for these videos

[@Coffee_Cakes]

Thank you so much as always for having me Hazel

[@tenebrousoul9368]

Thanks for being had(?)!

[@Notius]

I cracked up at the struggle on "Kono Yo no Hate..." then just blasting out the next one like "I GOT this!"

[@Coffee_Cakes]

[@Flamu-t7i]

I've unwittingly paralyzed my personality to make it through a rough time and your unabashed enjoyment of so many artforms has given me a slight jolt to begin to reverse this state. Thank you for the content you create, and I hope to see more uploaded in the future at your own pace.

[@Zanethepure]

Hearing how much you were able to zoom through in a short break makes me starkly aware of how little I accomplish in a similar timeframe. Sincerely looking to step it up in light of this realization, thanks for the entertainment Hazel, worth every penny.

[@heim8099]

I saw Tsukihime in your thumbnail and, as a Type-Moon goblin, became interested in hearing your take. Having absorbed it, I wondered for a moment why you would finish the game BLIND, on a version that required re-scripting when you found its writing to be grating. Then I realized it was for research purposes, which explained why you introduced it as a culturally important work. I'm glad you enjoyed Melty Blood at least, and the goblin in me requires that I recommend the Tsukihime remake, but I'm assuming you're busy enough already.

[@sdj3000]

I see what you did there

[@kyaaakun]

Hazel, i just want to tell you, all your videos give me this warm feeling inside whenever i'm watching them. i don't know why, but they make me appreciate slowing down and just enjoying the small things in life while discovering cute and obscure media - and sometimes that's just all i need. you seem like a super chill person with cool taste and i'm very glad to have found your channel!

[@thoughtloop]

Big agree on the "Fujimoto's done it again, baby" vibes. I was so stoked for Chainsaw Man's next part, and have been laughing each week as we get trolled and have expectations subverted. Glad to have it back in my life. And your videos! Welcome back.

[@Paggs1616]

I loved this video. I love this kind of content and hearing what someone is playing,reading or doing. It's a great update but also is just really interesting to see what people have been consuming, seeing what stuff they may be trying as well as seeing what they may try in the future. This is such an uplifting video and makes me super excited to discover new obscrue media myself. Thanks Hazel for the amazing video I would love to see this kind of stuff again it's like a variety show of cool stuff you can show people. And don't worry I can't wait to see awesome analysis videos.

[@allieliliaflower]

this video felt like a scrapbook hazel made from all the photos, thoughts, and memories from the summer (:

[@Sonjira]

every vid of yours is such a breath of fresh air, your writing, editing, enthusiasm and interests are just infectious and it really makes me excited to find and rediscover new things to love

[@skunkpelz]

WELCOME BACK!!! I'm glad you weren't overworking yourself on this channel. As someone really into specifically obscure games, I find your channel especially relaxing bc I get to learn about obscure media I would never see on my own. It's cool to see that even in the sphere of lost and obscure works there are so many different avenues of interest.

[@subahibidi]

New hazel vid for the soul

[@namesforcolors]

JUMPED with excitement when I heard the mention of utena, rlly rlly understand though it is quite an endeavor

[@theityouwhenitmeanyouarewh5303]

the brave little abacus tattoo solidified you as my favorite youtuber

[@cucumver8159]

watching this again and the arc of coffee cake's title reads crack me up. dude was unsure for awhile but then came in so strong with "IDOL HAKKENDON" @ 15:59 😂

[@khakisohn9710]

Tbh I kinda love videos like this. Nothing too incredibly focused, just general "hey this is what I consumed during this time. It's cool/it's not cool, etc etc" it feels so cozy

[@davidwave4]

What you do, the art you make, is so unlike anything else on KZbin. There's genuine empathy, care, and interest offered to everything, and I appreciate that a lot. Glad you had a productive and restful break.

[@clockworkcake8057]

wake up new hazel video edit: i nearly had a panic when i heard you say revolutionary girl utena, i havent even watched utena but i live in fear edit 2: TOUHOU?? LUNA NIGHTS TOO? i just finished luna nights today, actually! edit 3: wow what a good hazel video

[@sirexilon49]

As a person who has seen RGU I'm really curious what kind of reputation it has that even somebody who hasn't watched it "lives in fear".

[@QueenoftheHorizon]

I screamed at the Utena bait and switch. Very sneaky XD

[@meccuterrin]

You weren't kidding about this being rapid-fire, wew. Also my third time through Tsukihime (because apparently I've gone through that VN at least 3 times) was during my downtime in college on a DSi homebrew app, and it really does impress me how many jank ways fans have built to get VNs running on all kinds of hardware.

[@thatitalianlameguy2235]

Yet somehow mobile vns are rare. when that's the best way to read them tbh. it makes them like actual books where you can easily open and close them, unlike a pc that you have to wait before it turns on

[@mc.gemstone]

me: *trying to find a new video to watch* *hazel uploads* me: *drops everything to watch a new hazel video*

[@IronOtome]

Nice to see a new video! Glad you're back. I appreciate your videos a lot, you actually inspired me to try my hand at making videos of my own in the future. I hope you enjoyed your vacation.

[@galacticpopcorn9981]

Best in the game back for another banger. Always love the content, please take your time with it and don’t work yourself to death on everything! Having longer breaks and letting videos be ready when they’re ready is ALWAYS better than having more frequent videos of a lower quality. So excited to see what you’re cooking up next!

[@projectno5]

i really loved this video hazel. reminds me of the video you had on your channel for a bit where you moved across country. i also like the format of "here's some cool things i've been watching/playing/reading/doing" tremendous energy all around.

[@sleepin9713]

this video inspired me to start making lists of things i do during the seasons!!!!! it makes me go out of my way to experience more so i appreciate it ^^

[@Cuhriss]

I’m so glad you’re back, love your videos!

[@andersonrusnell3102]

New Hazel video just dropped. Anyways hope your move went smooth and you’ve settled into your new apartment. Excited about any future content made by you.

[@WHOboi93]

I nearly shouted out loud “FUCK YES” when that music from YU-NO played, and it nearly made up for that Utena bait-and-switch. Would love to hear more about the other retro PC-98 games you play. You’re the best, hazel, please don’t worry about uploading in any “regular” schedule, and keep taking care of yourself!

[@Unquestionable]

Actually was curious when your next video would be out and this one was just as wonderful as usual. Love the chill vibe you always bring and while I adore the deep dives this was equally refreshing, keep up the awesome work.

[@LetsMakePeopleSmile]

Glad to have ya back You’ve become my go to channel whenever any kind of video drops Can’t wait to see more amazing things from you~💕 Also just love your channels aesthetic so much and heck yeah Trigun~

hazel i know it was a meme but i will literally LIVE for your analysis on utena ed: also i think u would like faraway story too for another comfy rpg game

I didn't watch this video last summer so I had to wait until now. Definitely not worth it, but now I can binge watch my favorite channel.

This was a lovely video and I'm happy to hear you had such a good summer! I hadn't thought about that AVGN quote at 13:35 in a very long while so hearing it out of the blue in that context had me bowled over laughing

Your video style is so soothing and rad no matter the subject, and every video is worth the wait. Scheduled creators are great but I equally love the people I follow who upload "when it's done", no sooner no later, because then every new thing feels like a cool little surprise!

[@axelprino]

I started this video like an hour after it was uploaded, then my life suddenly got extremely complicated, and now I finally had the time to finish watching it, two days later. Anyway, what I was originally going to say is that I'm impressed that you managed to consume that much media in one summer, it's been so long since I've had the energy to finish more than one game or show per month. Good to see you back, I was missing your content, take as long as you need to to deliver this stuff.

[@ghostglitchy1792]

I experienced immense deja vu when you mentioned Trigun while I was in the middle of organizing my files related to a passion project of mine documenting the next episode previews of Trigun while i was watching this video, lol. (fun fact: a lot of the Trigun next episode previews use clips containing incomplete animations, artwork that was altered in the actual episodes, and even a few instances of deleted scenes!! it's super interesting to me haha)

[@ATjfds]

Damn, two days ago I went on your channel to check if I missed a new video, and here it is, so nice. Even if this video only shallowly touches the subjects, it still has the same comfy vibe that makes me able to listen to a 2 hours video, so thanks for the upload. I was happy to see the manga that I'm actually reading, even if I was expecting to see Seihantaina Kimi to Boku (maybe Dandadan too), thought it would totally fit your style.
