[@sunflowersamurai10]

Most [SANE] people don't actually relate directly to psychopaths and cold blooded killers. The point of "literally me" is that people can see a part of themselves in these characters because they are very well written and humanised with ""rElatabLe"" struggles. e.g. spike and Faye struggling to cope with their past mistakes, mugen and guts' fighting spirit to survive in spite of their trauma, Re-L and her search for truth and what is "real" etc... Yeah it can get corny af if taken literally with characters like johan, or overdone, but hopefully people just enjoy them as characters at the end of the day and find some sort of inspiration to better themselves irl, instead of just wanking off to self-pity.

Great edit, especially the correct/functional alignment of visuals with the beat is something that many editors are too lazy to do. I also love the choice of characters here, they do not fall into that grey zone like patrick bateman where he is 100% a psychopath and definitely not „literally me“, but the characters chosen are really great written characters.

[@kingkrab5138]

This is why I like it when people choose the duo of Fight Club or Travis Bickle from Taxi Driver. It’s better when the characters have morals (in terms of looking up to as “literally me”, American Psycho is about how psychopaths (society) around a polite businessman turn him into a monster and no one cares.)

[@vbox7hero]

You missed the point of the movie/book if you think Patrick Bateman is a psychopath. If he resembles anything it would be a sociopath, but in reality he is a character which is just some out of control dude. The point is that the people around him are psychopaths. The ENTIRE point of the book, though, is that society is so caught up with themselves that they don't notice this mass serial killer wandering around in their midst. That is according to Bret Easton Ellis, the author.

@tumadrinaen5 I suggest to go with the anime, it has awesome soundtrack and such great voice acting in both JP and English (i preferred the jp tho because his angelic voice to me adds more to the harmless pretense :P) Manga is better in two things, you can flip though at own pace, anime might seem slow if you're used to shonen, and second is many of Johan's expressions. It wouldn't matter to most people but those expressions add up and support one of the key themes of the story.

There have always been random 15 year old MCs saving the world. It's Shonen. Anime still has many relatable characters now, they're just not in Shonen anime.

God texhnolyze is such a perfect work of art. I love that you included it, you generally think of shinji, spike, guts, any of these depressed anime boys when you are trying to capture that listless void feeling, but man Ichise is something fundamentally deeper. The show brings out so well the visceral restless soul and how weary the human condition feels, especially in the kind of wayward masculine sense that feels so prevalent today. There are these feelings we get, stuff that doesn't have exact words for, stuff like being tired of being tired, lonely while surrounded with people, or staring at your bedroom ceiling thinking about everything but nothing at the same time. Somehow I feel like texh speaks to those things so powerfully. Those feeling coagulate into such a unique and powerful atmosphere that permeates through every corner of the bleakest abyss that is the world of texhnolyze. The show never directly touches on any of these things, compared to something like NHK, but man do the vibes really get to me like nothing else.

[@ludonymous526]

@@tryptaminus Yeah. And what's especially uncanny is that the themes of "Texhnolyze" are surprisingly relevant today.

Even tho I haven't watched all of them I just realized that these are the types of anime I was looking for. I just figured it out, I have them all on the special watchlist that I purposely save for the best moment. Even if I haven't watched them, I think I just got the vibe from it. And the welcome to the nhk I thought was Gon be just ok but it ended up as one of them. Great addition

I appreciate the pacing of the editing of this video. A lot of other edits on this trend go way too fast and focus on transitions, but you actually get to see the characters and their faces for more than a split second here for a change.

Maybe in a western perspective, but the hikikomori phenomenon was an acknowledged thing already in the very early 2000s and late 90s in japan

[@alihusnain3209]

From my past experience in animes I came to a realization that anime for no doubt requires effort hard work consistency and a lot more the creators of anime put so much into them even after knowing that these are only fictional character yet they describe more feelings then real actors in movies.

[@PreludePie]

All of these animes are bangers.

Parabéns pelo edit cara, esse instrumental do The perfect Girl é perfeito pra edit nesse estilo tanto filme como anime também.

The cut to Okabe gave me the most massive goosebumps and PTSD ever... Edit finally began to watch Monster and that Johann even appears here makes me anxious...

[@voidishprattles4319]

They're just good characters. Written by real people. A great character always helps remind me that I'm not alone in this world. My "literally me" anime character is Roc from black Lagoon ngl. I'm always trying to help people and do the right thing even though I know it's pointless. "If there is no Robin Hood, then be Robin Hood... Anything's gotta be better than sitting around feeling sorry for yourself."

[@OsirusHandle]

Yeah Rock fits well, this sinister nihilism and lonelyness that actually turns into something quite empowering with Rocks choice to actually play the power games in rouhanapur.

[@lelouch5157]

I agree with u but if u have watched the black Lagoon ova you'd know that even Rock changed and became a "corpse" like everyone else in the end
