I feel like the biggest difference between American cartoons and Japanese anime is that in Japan they’ve fully realized the true potential of animation. Over here cartoons are still generally considered to be for kids and even the adult swim shows are basically all sitcoms but over there they have so much variety for any genre at any age.

[@edge9088]

I think arcane is going to change that. More studios are going to invest in that type of content, seeing the success of the series.

And I'm a 21-year-old dude! The scene in the next episode when Mamoru dies in Usagi's arms and she says she can't kiss him because her friends never got to kiss the people they loved was heartbreaking too. Just overall, the show does an amazing job balancing silly, comedic moments with serious moments. For example, Usagi struggling to cope with the trauma of upholding the mantle of Sailor Moon or Usagi falling into a depression after Mamoru is corrupted by Beryl. Anyway, I totally agree with you. I've only seen the first season so far, but my expectations were already blown away by how emotionally complex the show has been.

@@annaairahala9462 To be fair, they’re talking about the original manga, which is a shoujo targeted towards the teenage female demographic. The 90s anime is targeted towards a wider age range. This anime is what my first comment was about. The original American dub for Sailor Moon actually censored A LOT of the original Japanese anime because they thought the kids wouldn’t be able to handle Usagi’s breakdown after her friends died. But honestly, that censorship completely ruined the story and butchered all the emotion in the season 1 finale. Thankfully, a new dub came out a couple years ago that doesn’t censor any of the original Japanese show. It isn’t anything graphic and I believe it’s good for kids to learn and understand emotions and the meaning of death, so the original Japanese show is completely fine for kids in my eyes. EDIT: Besides, all the sailor senshi come back to life at the end of season 1 anyway, so it’s not a big deal.

As someone who has loved Sailor Moon since I was a child, seeing you notice the dark the tone op starts with made me super happy. Sailor Moon's manga was originally pretty dark, and when it got brought to anime the tone was a bit conflicting sometimes because the filler episodes that were added to bump up the episode count were VERY lighthearted compared to the manga storyline. Those fillers got the older anime a reputation as a comedy-- but when you cut the filler episodes the main story fit the Mangas intended vibes very well. Most people assume that Sailor Moon is a typical light hearted Magical Girl anime... and it can be at times..... but, well, how often members of the actual main cast die and get resurrected should be a good example of how deceptive this anime is to anyone that has never watched it/read the manga.... I'm glad you noticed how some of the OP animation gave a darker vibe even as the music seemed light hearted!

[@studioyokai]

Right?? I remember basically growing up on Classic Sailor Moon in the 1990s... but back then in English, for a few years all that was available "officially ", was the original English dub by Dic... ...which when I got SLIGHTLY older and gained access to Early Internet I found out had, in order to get the magic number of 65 episodes for syndication, cut the series off in the middle of the second series (equivalent to American "seasons", though in the case of Sailor Moon it was much longer than standard TV seasons as they were originally meant to air each week for most of a year BUT ANYWAY), skipped several whole ass episodes, and merged what WAS the original 2-episode finale of series one, into one much shorter episode. This was while of course changing much of both the visuals and aspects of the scripts. Partly to compensate for the differences between Japanese and American censors (sometimes removing aspects of the original visuals that were a little too "sexy" for American tastes, or in the case of the HEAVILY trimmed battles in the arctic, probably for violence... but most infamously, swapping the entire gender of the villain Jadeite, since anime!Jadeite was in a relationship with another, male, general, and this was... you know, 1990s kids TV in the USA). But also, as was apparently standard practice at the time, to try and straight up pretend it wasn't Japanese (things like swapping what side of the road bases drove on, changing Japanese names and cultural references to western ones, etc). The latter is kind of in hindsight hilarious that they even tried, considering Sailor Mars is LITERALLY A SHRINE MAIDEN AT A SHINTO SHRINE, which even the dub didnt do much to obscure, and everybody regardless of the school they go to is wearing those now iconic Sailor style uniforms ( like... why bother hiding the foreign setting?? He Man or Thundercats got away with being in exotic settings that were like outright fantasy realm alternate planets, but somehow Japan is too exotic?? Wtf DiC!) ...okay yes, I have Feelings about Sailor Moon. My (admittedly buried) point is: I grew up intitially watching the heavily censored, sanitized, Americanized early dubs... and even as a kid I knew despite the comedic elements, it had an underlying story and character development that was pretty moving. Then as a teen who thought anime was Super Cool, I found out my nostalgic childhood favorite HAD been heavily censored, and wanted to seesome of what I missed out on.. This was back before KZbin was a thing and internet speeds were usually measured in kilobyte, so I went out of my way via tape trading with other anime nerds to get one or two VHS tapes with fan-subtitled copies of all the series one episodes that had been completely cut from the original DiC release as well as the uncut, uncensored 2-part finale. The episode about Sailor venus's backstory before she met the others was moving as heck - so much loss!! So much of her opportunity for a normal, happy life sacrificed!! - but the real surprise was the aforementioned 2-part finale. I watched that sucker on a like 3rd or 4th generation VHS with tiny subtitles alone on a small TV...and friends, that finale fucking WRECKED 13 ir 14 yo me in the way no other media had done up to that point. This is not a hyperbole. Even though I had seen some variant of the episode and knew going in that some of the characters would die, even though I had known some material regarding the death scenes had been censored and cut from the American release so I knew to expect like, a bit more violence, and even though I LITERALLY KNEW the characters that died would get "reborn"/resurrected in the story arc right after it, which you would think would soften the blows... absolutely fucking nothing prepared barely-pubescent me for how GUTWRENCHng those two episodes would end up being. The characters go through SO MUCH, and their friends have to see SO. MUCH. horrible stuff happen to each other as they try their damnedest to protect their leader long enough to win the war....a leader who was!!! Just a sweet, bumbling kid!!! She likes comic books and sweets and arcade games, and she daydreams, and she struggles in school, and her little brother is a brat who loves to annoy her and her and parents are loving but don't understand her, and she!! Never asked for this!! She never wanted to fight!! She never asked to fight a guerilla war against life-sucking monsters, let alone have to lead her friends!?!? to their deaths!?!?!? And yet this poor girl watches ALL of what have become her best friends, die horribly, in order to protect her, so that she can protect the world. All because of shit that went down thousands of years ago, in a lifetime she can't even really remember fully, even with the help of magic. All because she's the reincarnation of a specific princess, who got caught up in literally ancient political strife, literally none of which was in her control. But she's the only one who can wield the thing that let's her put an end to that war. She's the only one who can save all those other perfectly normal, unsuspecting people that she knows. And she has to do it despite literally JUST having watched several of her closest friends just... die, horribly, one by one. She's 14. FOURTEEN. She would love nothing more than to be at home in her cozy bed, eating junk food and reading comics, and only stressing out over whether she failed thar most recent math test or not. But she can't. Because fate, and Beryl, will not let her have that. So she does it - giving her own life in the process. Because she knows she HAS to. Because she KNOWS she has to. Because she loves people, loves the WORLD, far too much to let them die without a fight. (Even more heartbreaking when you realize: she had no way of knowing for sure they'd be resurrected or reincarnated after and even when they were, they had all briefly forgotten about all that happened... only for another threat to come roaring in and rip away their normal teenage lives, AGAIN.) So, yeah. I am utterly unshamed to admit that the first time I EVER started to cry over a piece of media? Was that 2-part, uncensored, fansubbed VHS copy of the finale of Sailor Moon Classic, series 1. I'm equally unashamed to admit I'm getting choked up just remembering it, because time has not actually dulled the overall impact of the story - if anything, the older I get, the more obviously horrifying it is that these really were KIDS, who had a significant part of their normal lives irrevocably taken from them, who had genuinely traumatic things happen to them basically constantly (Sailor Moon herself doesn't even turn 15 until partway through SERIES 3!). But they put up with it, fought through it, made it through it all without giving up, because they had each other, and because they had this unshakable conviction that, overall, humanity was worth saving. Bro, I'm crying 😭 it's amazing how impactful it still was, despite all the silly or cheesy bits. The characters and even messages (of love, of compassion, of empathy; of the genuine power of friendship and support, of second chances, and of fighting to protect the things you love without just giving in to the blind Impulse for vengeance)...they are still compelling to me, as a grown ass woman. Is it, especially the old anime, often cheesy, silly, and a bit repetitive in places? Yes. But bro. It's also... so much more. And I'm so happy this, even in just some small way, comes across in the opening music.

you gotta listen to the german intro. its phenomenal

Man, isn't the power of art amazing?? Even something that looks like something you wouldn't like at all has the potential to simply blow you out of the water and i speak from experience. Absolutely beautiful

[@Kjesterbb]

I would literally cry if you do more of these. You will also have content for ages lol Anime music has such a wide range that I think you gonna end up loving everything. Welcome aboard, captain!

Demon Slayer is one of the most beautifully visual anime while being some of the best writing with amazing music in both openings and endings (in my opinion). Jujutsu Kaisen was so incredibly written and different from a lot of anime I've seen. Attack on Titan is amazing as well! The openings My War and The Rumbling are my favorites!

[@Suyash-ve]

"Some of the best writing" isn't eventually true as DS is an anime with popular shounen tropes so it isnt actually unique, but yeah, different tastes, different opinions

[@ryancadek]

I agree with a lot of statements you said for demons slayer but no, just no. The writing is not some of the best writing, not even close, still a great show but the writing is not one of the best out there.

@@boy2632 lmao maybe try jojo, the breathing techniques is actually inspired from jojo part 1's technique

[@kittyp00l92]

All opinions based on other shows you've seen and I respect that!

[@kamer5764]

this video is even more fun to watch right now knowing what you are up to right now

[@Subuwu]

Dude your unravel reaction was absolutely amazing. I felt the same way when I first heard it too

[@Pigsli]

DUDE YOUR REACTION IS EXACTLY MINE WHEN I FIRST HEARD THE OPENING TO AN ANIME. Ever since then I've literally been obsessed with Japanese music. The vocals the guitar the music just everything is top tier.

[@sunghaneul]

After so many years I still strongly believe that Tokyo Ghoul’s OP 1 is arguably the best opening of all! Not only r all openings amazing (ok the 2nd OP took some time to grow on me) even the ending themes r absolutely amazing & fit the show sooo well!

[@jojofanboy3294]

In my opinion I feel like kaikai kitan is still the best (Jujustu kaisen)

[@valeriasublime7580]

The best !!
