Birth of An Ego - A Blue Period Video Essay

Рет қаралды 4,211

Yatora Yaguchi was once just a number: someone destined to fall namelessly into the cogs of society. But fate always has an interesting way of changing plans. A chance error leads to an interest. That interest into a passion. And from that passion, the Birth of An Ego.
Blue Period is a series about many different things; the field of art, the struggles of creatives, and the difference between talent and hard work. But join me as we cover an area that has oft been forgotten in the analysis of the series: its expressions of individuality.
This has been a long time project I have devoted myself to for roughly the last year, and means a lot of me personally. Hope you enjoy!

I started blue period 4 years ago when I had to choose what I wanted to pursue in life. I was afraid to be creative even though I loved doing nothing more. I was about to choose a boring path in my life that sounded the most "reasonable" but my creative side won when I read blue period. It literally changed everything about my life and my future and now I love everything I work on, all thanks to this one delinquent looking guy that wants to be an artist

no way your channel only has 1.12k subs. I randomly chose this video to listen to while drawing in the background and when i opened chrome when this video ended to like it i was shocked to see this has only 48 likes i thought i was listening to a famous video essay youtuber because of the quality of your videos and how detailed it is. Your channel is insanely underrated

Great video. I don’t think I’ve ever related so closely to a character as I have Yatora, his uncertainty in exposing his own true self to others that even he doesn’t know, his burst of ego followed by his shame for that ego - especially later in the manga really resonated with me too. It’s a shame the anime wasn’t as good as the manga. Still good though

Yeah, it's unfortunate how the anime turned out, but I am thankful I watched it since it's how I got into the series.

THIS IS SO UNDERRATED??? I was 100% expecting this easily to be a 200-300k viewed video with a lot of community support, but man it stunned me because this is such a good essay and depiction of the relationships and evolvement of the characters and art in blue period. Totally helped me self reflect a bit too. Honestly one of the best anime video essays I’ve watched for sure, and im so glad the algorithm pushed it to me. Cant wait for even more cool stuff from you, even if it isn’t blue period related 🔥 keep up the awesome stuff!!!

This video was so good!! I'm so happy to find some blue period content since I watched the anime when it first came out and I just read the manga.

Thank you for making this so so sooo much. Loved the conclusion after watching several blue period videos... It's really up to interpretation ultimately. Truly one of the most creative pieces ever. Epic!
