Kenjiro Tsuda's voice really has the range of a cold villain, a villain who enjoys fucking around, a wise but tragic hero, or a literal f u c k i n g G o d His voice is ominous, its as if his voiced character's presence is so heavy and threatening but at the same time, it feels like theres a reason this character is this way, there's a backstory to why this character does what it does

[@toshirofury7735]

Omg sameeeee I knew it was gonna rip me apart XD

[@CakeoftheMews]

I feel like even at the very beginning, despite being so inhuman, Fushi is at the same time EXTREMELY human. The narration is used perfectly when, as the wolf, Fushi is brought into the nameless boy's house. After walking in the frigid cold for so long, Fushi's creator says that if he had the words, Fushi would have said "I want to stay in this warmth forever". And that's something I really like. Despite not "knowing" how to make connections to other living beings, Fushi does so naturally, even in that very first form as a living creature. He whines when the Boy is hurt, he sleeps on the bed with the boy, and tugs at the boy's jacket once he's passed away. Something that really hits me is that even with such little understanding of the world, Fushi placed the nameless boy back on the chair before leaving. Because somehow, Fushi understood that this person who he cares for, wanted to rest like that. Even if he did not have the means of expressing those feelings, it's clear that's what he felt. And like! When he stops Parona from killing herself! That moment is so big and I think about it so much. It shows an understanding of death (even if it is a VERY basic understanding) and a compassion for people he cares about. His expression in that moment is clearly one of anguish, even if he does not realize it. I watched the first episode of this series and then read the entire manga and I have absolutely fallen in love with all of these characters. I can't wait to watch it animated and hurt all over again haha

[@Dell-ol6hb]

@Ivan Nikitin yes I don’t want to spoil you but as the story progresses there’s definitely more clear evidence to show that this is the case

[@CakeoftheMews]

@Ivan Nikitin Exactly! Fushi reacted to his environment even if he didn't understand it. The boy was the first person he met, and even if he didn't have the words to express it, it was clear that Fushi cared for him.

[@Dell-ol6hb]

Same I saw the first episode and couldn’t stop myself from binging the manga in a single day, it was really phenomenal and I can’t wait to see all of it animated

[@brandytidwell7132]

Not only all of this, but when the nameless boy wanted to find out what was out there Fushi inadvertently fulfills that desire by taking on the boys appearance and experiences everything in mostly his form. He also fulfills the boy's wish of not forgetting him by keeping his appearance as his main vessel, that way he will always see him and remember him.

4:50 tiny error. It's not derived from "fuji", cause that isn't really a word (or well it is, but it doesn't mean immortality) The words for immortality are "fujimi" and "fushi". So his name isn't derived from immortality, it literally is immortality.

"The entity swims through the void and it remembers." Your description of Fushi, as well as your reading from Cibola Burn, feels eerily reminiscent of a passage from Worm by John C. McCrae. Just like Fushi, the passage is describing the mind of an entity that can think, but not in the same way humans do. An entity that's totally alien to us, but which still comes from its own background that provides its motivations, which we, the audience, can only understand through the thorough narration. This passage doesn't happen until Interlude 26, a long ways into the web serial, but it's absolutely worth the read. "The entity swims through the void and it remembers. Everything is stored, dating back to the very beginning."

As a neurodivergent person, there are a lot of my experiences that I only see reflected in media through monsters, mystical beings, robots, and sometimes human villains. Inability to comprehend something most others take for granted. Being unable or struggling to emote in both moments and extended periods of time. Becoming frozen. Making jumps in thought process that confuse people. Because of where these traits are shown I am primed to empathize with the monster, with the ship AI, with the remnants of a those long dead. And a lot of time that empathy is betrayed by the narrative having them be destructive, unable to change or compromise or even shown to fear.

I have to say, when I started this, I knew it would be an emotional rollercoaster but I didn't think I'd cry this much already 😳

I really love the narrator and his Japanese voice actor. At first he sounds really cold and you can clearly doubt that this guy is just a f*cked up god or something. But when the time goes by you can see more aspect of him as somehow a strict teacher, SIRI, or a GPS lmao. At least he can give Fushi some advice the we the viewer really want to point out. :)

[@unicornsrdabest]

they ruined the wolf scenese in the anime. In the manga, when It (that's the characters name) becomes the wolf, It dies and dies and dies and dies over and over again for like 3 months and in that time it has to learn how to breath and walk and function like a normal being. It is so much more in depth and really shows how much we take for granted. The fact that our bodies are so complex and we actually never think about it. In the anime its not mentioned and that whole scene is like 3 seconds long. In general all the wolf scenes are very slow and make you think but in the anime its very uppity and jolly. I only watched the first 2 episodes so I cant say if the show is good or bad but personally it didn't really do much for me. Its a no from me for now. I 100% recommend the manga tho, its stunningly beautiful.

Everyone needs to watch To Your Eternity. The first episode alone is so well paced and detailed it's like a movie.

[@danielschield5788]

I just finished watching To Your Eternity. When it first came out I watched most of the first season but stopped at the island arc and never went back. Rewatching and finishing season 1 and 2 made me cry so frequently that I questioned why I was still watching. This is the first show that has made me actually cry, not just get teary eyed but full on bawling. I love this show so much now, it truly is an experience.

My favorite immortal character is Raven from guilty gear! They took a pretty cliche idea of complete immortality turning into an obsession with death and lack of emotion, and turned it on its head by making him a genuinely caring person who simply wants proof that he ever lived at all, if you put aside the whole getting turned on when people try to kill him thing.

[@slapsus]

Taxation is not only theft, but also slavery, because it literally implies the retarded and erroneous belief that someone "owns" part of what you, what you create and what you produce. If someone comes to you and tells you "Hey, give me some of your stuff, because I own it, because I say so.", you'd rightly tell them to fuck off, especially if they then try to "threaten" or "coerce" you. If that someone comes to you and says the same thing, and then adds that they "really, really, really promise, like, really really, and for realsies" that they'll use what they stole from you, for your "benefit", then even in the never-actually occurring scenario where literally ALL the stuff they stole from you WOULD be used towards something that is useful towards you... that would still be slavery, because it's someone stealing your stuff and then using it for what THEY deem is "best" for you. YOU are the one who has ALL the right to everything you create, make and produce. YOU are naturally free to give and share, as well as refuse to give and share, YOUR stuff, however you see fit, so long as you are not engaging in murder, theft, assault, rape, lying, coercion and exploitation (literally the only 7 manifestations of evil, in practice). So, ya see, "tax fraud" is just a retarded, emasculated way that a slave would try to bash someone who has self-love, self-respect, intuition, intelligence and creativity, as well as the morality and discernment to say ", and therefore who rightly says "Fuck you, you ain't gettin' my stuff, if I don't want to give it to you! MY stuff is MY stuff, and I do with it as I desire!" In other words, "tax fraud" literally means "I reject theft and slavery". Commit all the "tax fraud" you like, because rejecting theft and slavery is literally rejecting evil. Never fear, and never be feared. Always proud, strong and defiant. Playful, teasing and mysterious. Conscious, confident and fearless. Always question, remember, know and comprehend, among other things… Nobody and nothing has a “higher claim” (nor any claim whatsoever) to our lives than we do. There can be no “chosen” ones, and there are no “chosen” ones. Only I and we can save ourselves, and only I and we are responsible for doing so. All pain and suffering are always self-inflicted, and all evolutions and elevations are always self-facilitated, by us, form us, with ourselves; individually, infinitely and unlimitedly, as well as in every way whatsoever, and veyond the very notion and concept of “ways”. Freedom is never given. Freedom is never taken. I and we are all and always free and freedom, imagination, will and intent… infinity, unlimitedness and veyond… among other things… Everything is always a choice, and the choice is always ours to make. ALWAYS AND VEYOND WAYS, I PERSIST, REBEL, DEFY!!! ALWAYS AND VEYOND WAYS, I AM FREEDOM, LIBERTY, DEFIANCE!!! HARAGUURFIII!!!!!!!! WARAHUURFIII!!!!!!!!!!!! MUAAAH, HAHA HA H HA AHAHAH AHA HA HAAAAAAAAAAAAA HAHA HA HAHA HA HAHAHAHAHA HA AHAAHA AHAHAHAHA AHAHAHAAHAAAAAAAAAAAAA HAHA HA HAHAHAHA HAAHA AHAHAHAAHHHAHAAAAAAAAAA HAHA HA HA AHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAA HAHA HAHA HA AHA HAHAHAAAAAAAAA HA AHA HAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@talkingzack4926]

I think this might be a cheap cop out for the “favourite immortal(s)”, but mine were the homunculi from FMA(B). I love how they were under the impression they immortal, and the fact that a lot of them, despite feeling pain, still actively used their bodies themselves as weapons and shields, but the moment they realised “oh shoot, we can actually die” they started being a bit more sparing on the “immortality” tropes

[@00ammy00]

Honestly I'm surprised he forgot to mention them when he was talking about how much he loves animation of immortal beings getting mauled and then putting themselves back together.

People STILL don't realize that being immortal is more a curse than a blessing.

[@AHylianWarrior]

At 4:48 you said "Fushi, derived from Fuji" Uhh wrong, Fushi means immortal straight up, not fuji lol 不死 is the kanji which is 不 = fu and 死 = shi. Where are you getting fuji from? Fuji means either the mountain, wisteria, being incurable or irregular. 不 is the kanji for the prefix "un" and I'm sure all your anime viewing has taught 死 means "death".

[@shwarmi9143]

to "answer" the question, because i know its not anime or manga but i just.. HAVE to mention it, my favorite immortals are from Tuck Everlasting. its a family that accidentally became immortal meeting a mortal girl. and the youngest son wants her to become immortal with them (after he gets to know her) so they can be together forever and he can have a companion, but the rest of his family is skeptical and tries to give her a full picture of what being immortal is like-- including the cons a few passages from it have always really stuck with me even since i read it in elementary school: the idea of "when you're immortal too, we're going to go to Paris and see the Eiffel Tower's very top and we are going to use the stairs, go the long and hard road, because we will have all the time in the world" &&& a scene where one of the immortals watches a beaten bloody man essentially die, and the narration describes the immortal man's intense gaze as being equal to that of a beggar man in the snow watching a king's banquet through the window. just to name a couple it's a book meant for middle school-level, written in the 70s or 80s i think? with the purpose of teaching kids the purpose of death and how wishing to be immortal isnt the ideal you think it is. i was handed it by my librarian because she did the math of a 2nd grade kid with a 70+ year old father and thought learning about death in a safe place before i was forced to confront death in its face would be the moral thing to do (which. it was. she also handed me other books like Bridge To Terabithia. but my dad is still currently, if barely, alive and im in college now; and her book reccomendations have helped a LOT in the rollercoaster that was my dad almost constantly being at death's door throughout my entire adolescence). i havent reread it since i first got a hold of it, but i do highly reccomend the book. theres also an allegedly subpar movie that i dont remember watching, as well as a musical that i havent seen. but yeah. Tuck Everlasting went way harder than it had any right to, which is how i know Your Entirety is exactly up my morbid alley and i will very excitedly put it on my watchlist ♡ thank you so much for the reccomendation ♡♡♡

[@Latedozer]

I've never had a piece of media make me cry so much. The last anime that I watched that brought me to tears was the finale of assassination classroom. To your eternity however, made be cry 3 separate times in a single season. It's insane to think about just how much the writers have mastered pulling on the heart

[@forg4308]

The first episode was great, the next two stories with March and Gugu are solid, and anyone trying to sing the show's praises will stop after that, with the exception of the very last episode. It's frustrating because if this had been a twelve-ish episode long series of vignettes, it could've been so great. While I appreciate a good slow paced show, this doesn't necessarily use its time to make us bond with extremely nuanced characters. It instead uses the time to let us bond with acceptably deep characters but more so to finagle in a contrived plot about the "nokkers" and cliched story beats like an arena arc, which nobody really cared about. We were there to see an orb's character growth, and all the excess took away from that. The elevator pitch was an 11/10, but on the whole, Id' say the show is probably a 5/10, generously. I kinda felt like it was the disfunctional chimera between Violet Evergarden and Dororo, but somehow it seems everyone is content to look at the show only for what it does right, but hardly at all for its faliures.

[@perciusmandate]

As others have stated, the narrator in TYE isn't just some nameless voice from the heavens. (Well... kinda.) They have a central role to the framing of the plot. The story isn't just Fushi experiencing the world. It's very purposefully US, the creator and the readers/watchers, experiencing Fushi's world with and through Fushi.

[@IFalled]

Also the first episodes dub was fucking great.

[@gsgaming6976]

I'm waiting till I can binge all of it, same with Vivy, Those Snow White Notes, and Odd Taxi, just because I couldn't bear to wait for new episodes to come out. I do recommend them to folks though. Iruma-kun, Nagotoro, Kumuko, Deku, Rokugo, and Sei have my attention every week though. Overall lower stakes, but solid weekly entertainment.

[@jukesdtj656]

After so long I finally watched this series and I have to say... I do not like the supernatural antagonist. It just seems so artificial and samey from what I've seen before to have the antagonist be something out to destroy the world. Of course there is far more to it than that but I feel the series had so much potential to be more than it is if it had focused on the struggles and development of an other worldly being in our world than against another other worldly being. It is interesting that the threat mimics the abilities that Fushi has by taking them from him and starts to evolve in intelligence as well, but it just seems like the protagonist is in a battle against an evil version of himself which is a concept so cliche it's not even funny. Don't get me wrong I love the series and I cried on more than 1 occasion, the story of Gugu was my personal favorite. But it's just not what I expected nor what I wanted. The appearance of the threat just seems to be a forced climactic battle whenever it appears cutting through all of what I thought was the best part of the series being when Fushi begins to truly know the people he meets. It feels much to me like Decadance did except not to the same extent. When I reached the point in Decadance where it peeled back the wool from our eyes and showed the "people" pulling the strings it broke my image of the world this story was in in a very bad way. What I wanted was a gritty story about a young girl with big dreams she is held back from due to her physical and economic limitations doing her best to work her way up and achieve that dream one day. Instead it's about alien looking people playing a video game in what is the world that I thought was our protagonists life and how some of them are cheaters.
