[@chaosfire321]

The concept of a reverse isekai, where fiction becomes real, is sorely underexplored. I always love considering how a character would react to knowing their entire existence is at the whims of entertainment. How their trials and tribulations are just our tropes. I genuinely love how Re:Creators actually stepped up to tackle it from different angles in different genres, even if it ended up a bit bloated in it's own worldbuilding. I wish more works would play with these kinds of stories.

[@ianr.navahuber2195]

I wonder what would happen if say, characters who are aware of the fourth wall in their original stories (either because they come from comedies were characters are just aware, or dramas were they are aware due to achieving a level of higher understanding of the universe), or are just from a semi-realistic slice of life comedy would react to this whole "fictional characters arrive to the real world" OR EVEN BETTER characters from say, Tokusatsu live actions, or super hero comic book who realize the original actor who played them has already died decades ago or is WAY older han they are, and/or, the original writer who created the show they originally came from also died. And other writers and creators have continued their stories would that mean the character already achieved independence? have they basically become a legend-like figure (or so called "god like" in the sense of, them being a living belief carried through generations)? Bonus points if they brought in a robot characater, or a "virtual being" character and ironically was the most okay as this brought hem a sense of peace. as this means "their creator was created by someone else" and it is just a chain of being creating others

[@joshuaxiong8377]

I've read a few stories similar. Although, this design is difficult for many reasons and things. Gigguk does explain a good chunk of the reason why. (I have my own theories too, but Gigguk's explanation and alluding is the factual core of it) Therefore, not many are written and you'll have to dig deep to find decent ones.

I wish there was a way they could make more of it, even though that would make no sense.

[@ryohei9027]

as someone who does a lot of creative writing, i fell in love with re creators concept of the stories that you make exist in another world and that you are the god of that world. it made me think of all the suffering characters ive made in my highschool days resenting me because i made them that way. re creators will forever hold a special place in my heart

That makes me wonder though, what about the worlds where the author hasn't finished the story? Got a few short stories that I've made growing up and only about one or two of them I finished (both being old stories I wrote in an old notebook somewhere). So, it makes me wonder if these worlds aren't fully made until they're published, or the unfinished worlds are treated like tiny islands or something (like in Neil Gaiman's Sandman).

[@Sarabheswaran7010]

[@LapisRoseCh]

@@Scarshadow666 The show itself explores the concept of how viewer popularity is also what fuels the creation and actualization of character traits and powers (Like a god needing believers). Going by that, a short story could still potentially BE out there somewhere, but so little information it might be a tiny slice, like you said. A tiny island.

[@NinjaQuick]

Also, Violet Evergarden is a show that sticks with me a lot. I lost a parent, too, and it was extremely sudden, and it really REALLY helped me understand things that we as people are never properly equipped to deal with - the author has a very deep understanding of grief, self discovery and moving beyond loss through casual AND deep connections. As a writer Re:Creators is similar, but yeah, good shows are so few and far between. Katanagatari is another one that sticks with me, since it similarly deals with loss, redemption, trust, faithfulness, loyalty, etc.

[@CaseNumber00]

I never really felt that way about VEG...well except ep 10. As someone who has tragically lost people, I didnt like how it ended. Gil was presumed dead, Violet went thru the 5 stages, rebuilt her self, and all that and he was alive. She seemingly abandoned everything to go back to him. It felt like everything was for naught. I loved the show for awhile and that it taught and showed how to manage grief and loss but that flew out the window for Gill to be fucking around somewhere and them being united. I maybe jelous of her but it doesnt work like that. VEG dropped the ball, it abandoned hard life lessons in favor of a happy, almost, fairy tale ending.

Yes. I watched so many animes, but Violet Evergarden will always have a special place in my heart

[@soulsurvivor8293]

I think one of the biggest challenges it faced was the complete lack of an English Dub available. I enjoyed it thoroughly, however it's not a show I can freely share with many of my family or friends due to it lacking a Dub. Especially with the dialogue heavy episodes, it's difficult to recommend to them and breaks my heart knowing they won't enjoy it as much due to the combination of heavy dialogue and subtitles.

[@SkyPopePhoenix]

Man, I remember this show like it was yesterday. Tbh, I was in the middle of writing my first novel when this came out and after watching it, I was like, "I need to put forth more respect for the things i create." This taught me the following: - respect your creations (give them personality and goals like any other person should) - write your story as a "character-driven" plot (give the characters agency and have them choose what to do next, etc.) - understand that you are, in some way, a god of a world you create and that changes made aren't exactly reversable. - think about what a character would do or say to you if they ever met you.

For me, this was the right anime at the right moment.

After said 2 years, I was starting to see the pattern you mentioned at the end: yes, sure, the new anime was entertaining and all, but it was basically the same as another one. Why would I want to keep watching anime, if everything is more of just the same? And in that exact moment, I saw Re:CREATORS.

[@ellusiv5121]

I love it because it deals with the harshness that comes in a competitive workplace and explained it in a not in a very straight forward way like what Bakuman or Shirobako did (which I both like as well). It’s about realizing what it means to create and what a creation means for people. Why do people draw/create stories? What does that drawing/stories mean to them or to others? Is there even any meaning to create? It’s a love letter to all the people involved in the anime community and industry including us, the viewer. It’s a message in RE:gard to CREATORS hence the title (and Episode 13) the core theme of the show revolves around the concept of acceptance. Altair; the main antagonist of the show, is the very embodiment of the hatred of those who are rejected. She is someone they can run to by creating Vocaloid that serves as an outlet for their frustration. That’s the meaning behind her creation even if some people only see “look anime girl”. The whole show begun because the main character Sota, couldn’t accept that he is an untalented artist just as the creations that got transported to the “real world” can’t accept the reality that they were not “real”

What a blast from the past. Thank you for covering it again and just reinforcing the idea that a 7 or 8 that I love is worth more than a 10 I didn't enjoy watching. This anime was truly something else, a 10/10 in my book, and as someone who used to write a lot back in high school and immerse myself in stories, hit different. I remember watching this back in 2019 and have no idea of what made me seek it out initially, but I loved it. I tried to get others onboard but they'd be turned away by the dialogue after episode 1. Even online it would be difficult to find someone who truly liked it; they'd always talk about its flaws more than what they liked about it. I recognise that it has its flaws but still felt like it was magnified for no reason other than "yeah I know what I'm talking about as a seasoned viewer of anime". Oh and the soundtrack. I was addicted to Sawano after this anime and watched Aldnoah:Zero afterwards (RIP) for more of him. Every track in this anime was a 10/10 with Layers being a 11/10; the meaning behind the lyrics being the reason why it's higher on my list. Kudos to the crazy people who came with this and the ones who let it be executed. I want more shows like this, I'm sure they're out there but I haven't found them yet.

Yeah, that was my perception as well. The show literally shouts almost on every twist and turn about how you as a creator shouldn't give up and keep creating, and keep promising that your creations will always be beautiful even if you don't think so currently. Even at risk of becoming too positive for my taste, but for some reason in that case it doesn't spark frustration, or keep me irritated, but on the contrary - creates a warm feeling inside my chest. For me the show looks like a clear love letter not to stories, but to creators themselves, and I absolutely adore that

I’m so glad someone is talking about this anime. Discovered it with a friend a couple years ago and the great writing and awesome soundtrack sold us on it. It’s very clear it’s a show that is made by writers and shows a lot of the mental crises that writers go through, and many times it gets so meta that breaking the fourth wall isn’t even close. And also with a very tragic but believable narrative behind all the genre clashing. I wish more people would see it, because I also loved it.

Also, gigguk has been putting the "signature" soundtrack from the show he is reviewing right after he makes his concluding statement in his videos for some time now, and it just so happens that the "signature" soundtrack from re:creators is a loud rock/pop song, so that editing choice is nothing new for his vids.

The way this guy just captures the scenes with all the anime that he's been with is just nothing short of perfect.

All of it, while tied together with knots to complicated to untangle, works in a way that's hard to understand. In my opinion, why it's largely forgotten lies in a few aspect. While it has what I think are some of the best first 3 episodes I've seen, the pacing slows very quickly, and the excitement wears out with it. It's also very much a love letter to people in the creative industry, so if you just watch media for the sake of entertainment, it won't resonate as well. Finally, the accessibility is a massive issue in the West, with the series relegated to Amazon Prime since it came out. And because of poor sales in Japan, no dubbing company wants to pick it up, making a physical release in the West near impossible. All that aside, I appreciate anyone talking about this show honestly. It's a relief to see people (a lot judging by the comments) still remember this show 5 years later. Thanks for another great video Gigguk!

I loved Altair as a Villain aswell, her powers broken af but its in such an awesome and original way, Also the voice acting for her was top notch imo

[@raiden0801]

That final battle felt so hopeless..

[@verzetta]

Fun fact, Altair's VA also voiced Yui Hirasawa from K-On.

[@deity0]

She might actually be able to beat Goku *sorry not sorry for bringing this up plz don't take this seriously

[@kymachim6053]

@@deity0 i think so as aswell tbh, outright strength and power shes no match at all lets be fair, but her powers so bullshit she can just make goku as weak as she likes if she gets the chance due to how it can essentially rewrite anything or anyone

Ever since I've watched it years ago it remained in my top 5. This show is freaking amazing and I can't recommend it enough. The epic battles between all genres enhanced by one of the best soundtracks ever, this anime is just amazing.

I have for the past couple years been making a fandub of this series since there was never any dub for it and because of that I practically burned the show into my brain LOL! The world may have forgotten about this show but I certainly haven't. Thanks for reminding everyone this show exists Gigguk and keep up the great work!

[@randomweeb9240]

Re: Creators actually inspired me to begin writing a few years ago. Thank you Gigguk for showing it to me then.

I actually just rewatched this series like two months ago and had the exact same reaction. It was EVEN BETTER the second time around. This series is so underrated and if you're a fan of anime you are doing yourself a massive disservice of you have not watched it.

[@arahaitham123]

You're kinda overrated it. Saying as if this FMAB is or smtg.

[@grayweaseltink]

@@arahaitham123 Is there anything wrong with loving a series and wanting to recommend it to other people? And you talk as if FMAB is the standard for a good anime, there's no denying that it's a good anime, just overrated (like many other good anime series that exist).

[@Hikariii]

What's with people calling shows overrated to others who just wanna express how much they love a show smh

[@fealtyknight1015]

5 times encounting here

[@girostrike]

I remember putting this on my watchlist ages ago but consistently overlooking it. Finally got around to watching and man what a ride. Great OST as well. its available to watch on Amazon Prime (at least in the US)

[@pierreyboi]

Also in the Philippines

[@kralkralovsky8416]

i love the whole, people consume so much media and move on so quickly, meanwhile im here rewatching everything from 2006 to the current year all of the anime i enjoyed and watched every single year, mostly because it was during my childhood and it all stuck with me for so long that not giving it a rewatch would be a travesty

Re:Creators feels like a fanfiction you’d read on archives of our own, where all your favourite characters come to life to meet y/n and duke it out, but where the author actually cares and puts thought and care into the story
