[@dharanisofjan6767]

This movie, with Belle, and Howl's Moving Castle, are my prime examples on why we shouldn't think about the plot of anime movies and just enjoy the vibe. Because there are always so many questions unanswered.

[@D3sToD3s]

I think the general plot closes pretty neatly. The open questions all relate to the bubbles. Why did they appear? What? How? Etc. The answer is a mystery because the phenomenon is truly alien and beyond our comprehension. Though the bubbles have some form of intelligence obviously. Hence: the girl. The movie reminded me of Stalker/Roadside Picknick and Annihilation.

[@makeda6530]

Yeah, Belle was a mess but the song were vibes.

[@Lenah.Elizabeth]

I would like to put out there, I completely agree, however, Howl's moving Castle was a book then a movie. If you read the book it answers all the questions the movie didn't

[@enixraghunath703]

Belle feels like the intro to a fascinating world

[@amitaycohen2165]

i would like to add n6

[@parrotpepper332]

This movie is really important to my sibling, who has SPD. They do the same thing with the headphones, and when I rewatched it that time with them they felt so validated and related so hard the entire time. It really means a lot that people are getting this movie out there, so thank you so much for the video Edit: I’ve got sensory issues so it makes me kinda happy that people are vibing with this comment 😂

[@bridegetmadsen5759]

As someone who might have SPD (we haven't tested to see if I do or not) I feel the same way. When I rewatched with my family I realized I relate to Hibki in the way I need headphones to help me from hearing to much nose and I feel better taking them of in a garden.

[@katcurtiss2684]

I have sensitive hearing too, and I can totally relate. Ironically I also love sitting in my garden.

[@FROGGGER.DRAGONSLAYER]

i do as well the one thing i find pretty annoying is that at the end the creators essentially cured him and used the shittiest excuse ever like "he didn't find sounds painful anymore" thats doesn't make any sense but overall i did like the spd rep in there

[@gaywatermelon272]

I have ASD and I don’t like really loud noises cuz it causes me headaches

[@TheGrossDemon]

Honestly same, the fact that this movie is almost all parkour makes me not care about how confusing it is lol. As long as they keep jumping on things all crazy like I won't ask any questions

[@dominiquerichards2462]

My understanding of Uta is that she like the little mermaid fairy tale because she relates to it. She loves a human “prince” who she is destined to leave. She knows that she’ll dissolve into bubbles if she pursues him, like what happened to the mermaid. For example, in a lot of Cinderella adaptations, the Cinderella stand in just experienced something similar to the original fairy tale. But, Bubble was a lot more heavy handed in its references.

[@KoiPuff]

So the writer is Gen Urobuchi: The UroButcher. This man is famous for his series having just the bloodiest third acts. The fact that this DIDN'T end in a full on massacre actually surprised me. Like this man is responsible for Madoka Magika and Psycho-Pass. He does not usually hold back.

[@D3sToD3s]

There was an all out civil war in bubble world. Billions died on both sides.

[@TellaHime]

also did the visual novel song of saya which the super gory a F up and sci fi

[@thesuperiorlifeform3690]

I swear you need to start your own abridged series

[@DannyMotta]

That’s the dream

[@robertwright2259]

But first react/watch SAO abridged by Something Witty Entertainment Or don't idk for sure if you're a bubble or nah

[@mariannedona7757]

The bubbles were her sisters, and they started the apocalypse because Uta saw Hibiki and liked him. And due to the fact of that the sisters started the bubble rain. And the reason Uta keeps talking about the little mermaid is the parallel that the actual story of the little mermaid is due to her love for the prince she dies. And for Uta if she were ro be able to love and touch Hibiki she'll degenerate into the bubbles or suds. Which is why the little mermaid thing is always mentioned. And Utas big sisters (the red angry bubbles) hate Hibiki so much

[@GnatGames]

I’m so glad that someone actually was able to understand the final act of the movie because I understood it too and it just made the movie so much more amazing for me. And yes, I did cry when uta died in the end

[@Quokka_Shiber]

finally someone who also understood it!

[@thebasementweeb4909]

I just finished watching Bubble 30 seconds ago. THIS MOVIE IS HYPE AS SHIT ONE OF THE BEST USES OF TWO HOURS EVER.

[@CotyV4260]

SAME ITS SO GOOD!! THANKS FIR REACTING TO IT DANNY❤️❤️

[@hydrofalls8154]

Got to admit the only drawback I have with the movie is that it reminds me how people tend to forget about the actual ending of the Little Mermaid. She dosen't die, she turns into a daughter of the wind. Giving her a chance to gain a soul by her own mean. Though got to admit I think the movie allude to that in it's ending.

[@jharris3110]

I thought she turned into sea foam?

[@hydrofalls8154]

@@jharris3110 That's the most popular ending but not the original one written by Handerson. If you want I can provide videos of youtubers that goes into it better than me.

[@korawinters6899]

For anyone curious, this movie looks like it's about Parkour & romance, when in actuality it's about the existentialism theory that the past & future don't exist, cause everything is the present. But also that time/life is like a river thus beginning & end actually existing. Which can be drawn from the spiritual belief of reincarnation. Children of the sea will definitely help u better grasp, Bubble.

[@sleepyghost4994]

the way Danny can bring a smile on my face within moments is just so inspirational to me. keep doing what you do man.

[@kibaliziosa483]

I live for Danny dubbing the chicken. Like, I watched it like 4 times and I keep giggling to myself like a lunatic but it's so funny

[@Myke_thehuman]

Less then a minute in and I have literally paused this video to go watch this movie. Either the movie is horrendous and I’ll be back to laugh at it with everyone. Or it’ll be amazing and I’ll be back to marvel at it with everyone else

[@Myke_thehuman]

Finished the movie finally. And it’s fucking amazing! Absolutely loved it. I get that it doesn’t “make sense” at the end. But it didn’t make sense at the beginning when bubbles 🫧 just appeared everywhere and took over Tokyo. It’s beautiful, action packed, and doesn’t really give a fuck if you understand it or not. Plus…really weird coincidence but the song that the mermaid in the movie was singing. The song that the main guy said he barely remembered. It was so creepily familiar to me as well. Could not figure what was happening for the majority of the movie. Why I remembered the song just like the main character did. Then towards the end, I remembered. It was the tone that the doorbell to my childhood home made. Which was hella creepy for it to be the main theme of this movie. Obviously the doorbell didn’t just break into a pop banger every time someone pressed the button. But the core notes. Those were exactly the same. Makes me think that maybe the creator of this movie had a similar doorbell. And it inspired them to make the song. An old barely remembered tune that they couldn’t place. Either way this is an incredible movie.

[@Felicia1021jc]

The glasses is a whole new personality and it’s hilarious.

[@Vanziethel]

For all that people say this movie falls apart, I legitimately don't care. It made more than enough sense to hold itself up, and to be honest that's all I really look for. I just saw it for the first time, and this movie was incredible. Edit: Also am I the only one who understood what they were basically going for and accepted it as soon as I saw the evil twin bubble?

[@hogey989]

Holy shit the dubbed chickens bit got me. That was hilarious.

[@TheGrossDemon]

This movie had me so confused the whole time. It's such a wild ride! Everytime the animation switches up it's so jarring lol, when it happens to the dude he looks so real, but when it happens to the girl it's like shes an anime girl hit with that hit with that moving image filter lmao it's kinda scary

[@GDSK09]

Shows to do reaction vids to: the owl house, magi, the dragon prince, hazbin hotel, and helluva boss

[@J1ntu]

Yes to all of these

[@prettypjohnson4970]

YES!

[@monster-enthusiast]

Amphibia, infinity train, kipo also

[@Gage_-vt9mw]

The dragon prince is a good one

[@DontBother_YT]

I wholly agree with dragon Prince. That's the next binge that Danny needs to do.

[@Lunasor3947]

It’s not that she’s making the book her life, it’s that she’s relating to it. The bubbles calling her home are her sisters, the Prince being the person she loves, how the mermaid wasn’t scared of death. The book is literally her life, it’s like readying a book and realizing it’s about you.

[@jillneb3636]

This had the same disappointment to me as Belle. A lot of random story telling that just really didn’t go anywhere. Belle the visuals and music were phenomenal but the story… left a lot to be desired. I’m a sucker for beautiful animation though and will often overlook plotholes because ✨shiny✨.

[@spiderlily5544]

I love your cross sunglasses and the new character that comes with it

[@diamondblaze3644]

Danny is the only person's vids I'd fuck up my sleep schedule for

[@bubbalubber]

Me: wow im having a rough time, struggling to get to sleep, ovecome by a random wave of sadness i cant quite identify Danny: *posts a video* Me: NEVERMIND LIFE IS AWESOME LETS GOOOOOO

[@chuuyaism1653]

Same

[@Spooky0w0]

How to enjoy bubble: "Don't think too hard about it and just watch the incredible animation"

[@bridegetmadsen5759]

15:50 Uta abd Hibki both started and finished the bubble apocalypse in a way or how I thought at least.

[@kimititan2658]

From this video alone, my theory is that maybe the Little Mermaid in that world was based off of Uta and her family, species, whatever the bubbles are, the little mermaid was based off of an event that happened to Uta or another bubble person before, and in that world, the bubbles had been coming, for years and years and years, but it was only recently that the bubbles got so intense that it lead to the events in the movie, or something like that anyway.

[@naomisilverfang7098]

"THE BUBBLES, THE BUBBLES ARE COMING!" - Paul Revere, probably

[@Dusk_dawn.09]

I love how Hibiki wears a crop top 99.9% of the time And i also ship Hibiki and the other dude

[@PsaroAlex]

- So, what kind of porn are you watching? - 3:05

[@TheGrossDemon]

💀💀💀

[@arsonisfine]

YES BEYBLADE APPRECIATION, as the saying goes, it’s my mental break down and I get to pick the comfort show. and mine is beyblade.

[@chuuyaism1653]

3:20 smooth jazz as you parkour through Japan?? Hell yeah.

[@izzyiguess13]

so like i have been watching so many of your videos that when I’m watching anime and i ship characters I think “go MWAH”

[@troysgaming529]

Only person that can actually solo everyone in this game is fucking spongebob prove me wrong

[@cutiepie120048]

No, no - you've got a point 🤔🤔🤔

[@tombsenpai9431]

I lost it at Thousand eyes restrict cosplayers LMAO

[@emppu1012]

I assume the bubbles came from space since in that one flashback where we were in Uta's POV (when a bubble from her touched Hibiki's nose) we saw Earth from space and came down to it. So, like, I dunno, maybe the bubbles are remnants of some destroyed world or planet and they came apart and together again on Earth and wreaked havoc. No idea why Hibiki's singing made them angy tho So, in other words, this is "Bubble aliens destroy Tokyo because a small boy sang like shit", I guess

[@sleepy_sensei3913]

You know i was on vacation when Danny posted this. I came home sick as a unicorn shitting and puking rainbows at the same time, and the first thing i did was watch this movie so that I could watch this goddamn reaction.

[@maniaclesalt]

legit just finished watching it and come back to see this video, timing 100

[@mythirlmaiden]

Honestly I low key wish you would react to children of the whales on netflix. I never ever see anyone talk about it but its such a ride and has one of the saddest deaths I've ever seen.

[@Princess_Mayb]

the times Hibiki's headphones were taken gave me DEEP anxiety and made me very mad at the scientist chick

[@katcurtiss2684]

Yes, definitely the little mermaid with parkour😂

[@davidirvine4877]

The last 25, 30 mins was quite confusing but to honest I never really watched it for the plot I was only there for the hype parkour scenes

[@DamSnackbar42]

I never thought I would hear “oh what a concerned bubble” in my life

[@jamiesinclair6096]

I am SO HAPPY SOMEONE IS FINALLY TALKING ABOUT THIS MOVIE!!!! Omg I loved this movie, vibes alone, I can’t believe Danny is reacting to it this makes me so happy, purely because I didn’t think he’d ever react to it

[@GPismymom]

They just made this movie with extreme dedication to bubbles, that's why it collapses... Like a bubble.

[@Vanziethel]

10:01 "Hibiki... Bring me their eyes. Their... Their eyes, Hibiki. I want their eyes." This gave me these vibes: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pHiVoXicm7F4gNE

[@m4l_101]

You should watch epithet erased; it's a youtube mini-series, and it's amazing. Animation, characters, humor, I think you'd love it

[@tulipbloomgames5030]

I mean... in Evangelion, we never really find out where the angels came from either, but we don't care about that plot point either, do we? Besides, I was too busy crying about Uta dying to care about the plot whatsoever! 😭

[@SomeGuy-fl4zv]

it hurts to think how much money they wasted making this movie hell I would have been fine with a short anime film just about bubble parkour but no they just had to make a whole movie by the way if you see this Danny don't be afraid of taking breaks when you need them :D

[@jamiesinclair6096]

Game idea!! Let’s take a shot every time Danny says “Bubble!”

[@BetaBlue42]

1:25 "I've never watched Sailor Moon..." Danny... you do reactions... you just invited a fandom to swarm you. No one to blame but yourself.

[@kindaquit4823]

the movie felt like Netflix told their animators that are locked in the Netflix basement that they were gonna make a 12 episode anime and then 3 hours before the premier, told said animators that it was actually a movie.

[@serezelveydawn]

I loved it so much but ya as soon as the eldritch bubble god came into play I was "wtf" the rest of the time.

[@DeadLog]

I dont understand why everyone is confused about the story, i get it fine. Main character can hear the bubbles because he has a condition, he communicates with a bubble while in tokyo tower so the bubble moves out of formation. Bubble overlord isnt too happy about that so she tries to explode the interference, that fails so she puts a barrier around tokyo to stop the interference from escaping. Bubble that MC talked to saves him and it irritates the Bubble overlord again making all the red bubbles more frequent.

[@xHappyAppyx]

New drinking game everytime Danny says bubble take a shot

[@kingakg4198]

I watched this show completely hammered and it was amazing just a treat for the eyes

[@jordancunn9908]

Why do i get the sense that the bubble girl found that humans weren't that bad as the bubble originally thought and wanted to stay but realised they were hurting because of the bubbles and when she read the book she realized over time she would have to become the bubble in charge to save everyone the die doing so cause thats the vibe i get from it idk

[@noya3524]

I also only managed to understand the movie the second time I watched it, but after all her bubble sisters are calling her to come back and the song is their call

[@chandlercarruthers8115]

bubblepunk is such an evocative term for what this movie's genre is, I love it

[@purplemind93]

Pause at 7:32. Danny looks like he is in the scen, just checking out that toast xD

[@robertwright2259]

I saw your thumbnail and watched the movie since I'm staying somewhere with Netflix and watched this vid after. Thanks for the grand recommendation and free serotonin :)

[@lu.b1610]

Bubble reminded me a lot of Weathering With You you should check it out! It’s a similar apocalypse related to weather and a girl but it makes sooo much more sense and I love how it ends

[@chriskeim5699]

How have you never seen Sailor Moon? It’s a classic

[@menawilliams9048]

Danny, the man with the rarest roasts for the oddest movies

[@gravetiger9333]

If nothing else, this had a *really* good OST. track 2 especially is fantastic

[@bean3732]

Okay, I’m back again recommending anime for you to review :D The anime is called Madoka Magica. It is about magical girls but with a twist, enjoy!

[@micahrusch6670]

Love the angry chicken voiceovers

[@adamfranzen458]

Speaking of Bubbles. I highly recommend Words Bubble Up Like Soda Pop. Great art style, a touching story, and sweet moments that will leave you choked up and teary eyed.

[@kerryrosebutler9771]

I really thought the movie was a lot more mystical than it seems, like the bubble found sentience with the little mermaid, but you also continuously see the spiral ( Fibonacci sequence) which is known to be in sacred math, it was like the universe was testing the human heart and it's ability to love. It lowkey was his fault, but only because he was literally chosen by the bubble. The raining bubbles at the end was definitely a take on creating peace though, for sure.

[@elincoln13092]

If you want gorgeous but needlessly confusing anime movies watch "children of the sea". You should also watch "maquia" because it's one of the best anime movies ever and no one talks about it.

[@cutiepie120048]

Maquia had me bawling 😭😭😭

[@klutzydraconequus7405]

I'm chilling in bed with a fever, so naturally the only thing to do is watch a Danny video. I had a blast. Thank ya 💛💛💛

[@nexis4369]

I don't understand why everyone's so confused about the third act or thinks it fell apart, that made complete sense to me, like I totally get why this series of events happend.

[@piffny6666]

yo! Danny has the best taste in shades!

[@christopherjunkins]

the movie's plot is a scattering of bubbles that comes together like a vortex and then scatters again at the end... at least I'm thinking that's what was meant in the confusing ending there, who knows...

[@priscillaanimations2836]

Lol I loved your reaction 🤣 Her song curse!

[@finiket5436]

Something else on Netflix you should definitely react to is scissor seven

[@poppylemon6575]

YESSSS! I think he would love it

[@thatoneguy5347]

The real bubbles were the friends we made along the way

[@eiyae3781]

the two guys had so much tension and for what??

[@TurusDJava]

For me this movie felt like it should have been a 12 episode show instead of a movie still good though

[@RealHarryWells]

Woulda been a great series cause making it a movie rushed the plot. There's many side characters and relationships that needed more development. But overall i say it a fun 6/10

[@crystalcleara.k.a.missyoko1430]

L love how beautiful it is and love the songs

[@hunterpowers2568]

Awesome!!! (I had no idea this would be posted today😁) 00:13:39 😆

[@Chaonix_]

4:24 when Danny said terorist my video froze

[@aelyna.t.l.8755]

I remember watching this after seeing it on your tiktok and I *wept*

[@Marzluvzu]

Let me answer your questions this movie is about a boy who is alone and hates loud sounds who is the only person who can jump on bubbles during a game the game is you have to get the other teammates flag if you fall in the water you lose if the other teammate gets your flag you lose at this point Japan is an illegal place to be in so basically this is an illegal game that kids play for fun. No the guy did not start the apocalypse he was outside of an extremely large building and saw the first bubble to fall the bubble was the girl who grew a liking on this guy he touched the window when the whole Japan flooded in bubbles. Years late he still hates sound and participates in this illegal game he’s been hearing sound from the red tower confusing him making him think something or someone is up there as he attempts to go up he falls due to pressure of the tower falls into the ocean as a train is passing under the water the bubble sees him as he falls making her worried. She follows him into the water to try and save him no clue why but she sees this poster of a pop star that was popular before Japan drowned in bubbles and water so she somehow turned into the idol saves the boy by doing cpr in the water. The boy and girl grow close though the girl finds out she will slowly turn more and more into a bubble when he touches her which scares her one day she tries going up the tower and exchanges herself to the “bubble god” for Tokyo to be normal again of course the guy did not want this so she saves her though slowly turning her into a. Bubble this scares the boy making him land onto a rock by this time the girl is basically a bubble making him cry since his love is basically dying. She turns into a bubble saving the whole Japan and getting rid of the bubble closing them in there. THERE THATS THE END

[@D3sToD3s]

The bubble apocalypse happens because the girl, in bubble form, liked the boy, not caused by the two, but by ... bubble society?.. she refers to it as her sister, which is the next direct reference to the book. The bubble apocalypse ends because the girl... convinced?.. took over?.. won the Civil War over Bubbleworld?.. calmed down the anger of the red matter?.. I'm more concerned with the landscape around Ground Zero. The giant sphere collapsed and I was certain that it was filled with water. The ocean was rather high up inside the bubble. Unless you tell me that the oceans around the world did rise this high.

[@jacobjackson4302]

I am telling you that when his friend gave him a boost I ligit thought they would kiss for the bromance

[@khialajimenez1354]

I hope your channel keeps ongoing. So does your wash for anime list? Cause yeah, KZbin channel makes me smile.😊

[@korawinters6899]

I told my friends that if they like bubble they should definitely watch children of the sea, so that we can all have 1 big existential crises together. Was I joking at first tho? Yes. Did it backfire tho, and make me have a crises for a week straight? Yes. BUT. THERE'S AUTISTIC CHARACTERS, AND AS AN AUTISTIC INDIVIDUAL, IT MADE ME VERY EXCITED AND HAPPY AS FUCK.

[@morpho16]

Ai actually really liked this movie. The ending made sense to me.

[@fluffyowlcat945]

Stop talking bad about the Little Mermaid. It was my favorite movie when I was a child and I still love it, the story, and everything about mermaids to his day.

[@stephaniegoldstein205]

How was this 2 years ago, I feel so old

[@that1_softboy]

Yeah same getting through the last 30 minutes really felt like a chore and i was on my phone when parcore wasn't being crammed down my throat

[@thomasgoodwin808]

This made me tear up at the end a year ago in now😊❤😢

[@victorvaldez9093]

Movie in 2 words: Evil Bubbles

[@loud479]

The visuals and the parkour was enough to stay through 2 viewings so far

[@arcticdragon5823]

I love the silly reactions you have lol

[@Ra_the_Sun_god]

Danny really does have such lovely eyelashes

[@Vanziethel]

This got more laughs out of me than your average video, and that's saying something.

[@ezekial7028]

If you actually pay attention, the ending makes sense.

[@Mayday8959]

I'v been waiting for you to react to this!!!!!

[@EnigmaBL]

Lol great video ,i lol-ed SO hard. 😂 As far as the plot, it's all metaphor and subtext for a sad twunk parkouring his problems away with his "pirate friend" until he meets a girl he actually likes. it's only a summer romance but nice while it lasted. having tasted heterosexuality for 2 months made him feel more "normal," and his "survivor's guilt" aka imposter syndrome let up enough for him to be high functioning by the end. Thank u for listening to this ep of *Fujo Film Theory*
