Where Fun Lies

[@darryllim7620]

You hit on a great point about valuing the people. It’s often only after the experience is over that we realize how much the people made it worth it, it’s a true skill to realize that in the moment.

[@UnbelievableCider]

It's something I didn't realize until my senior year of high school unfortunately. I'm just glad I've learned to value friendships instead of pushing people away like I did earlier in my life.

[@alsayda7911]

It's weird, when I hang out with my friends and our conversations are uncensored and we're laughing like crazy, it almost feels like I'm living my own comedy slice of life anime. It's a really good feeling.

[@UnbelievableCider]

I totally get that! It really is a wonderful thing to experience, and I wouldn’t trade those memories for anything in the world.

If you look at it a certain way, slice of life is sort of like TV sitcoms, but with arguably more structure and more genuine themes and characterisation, without sacrificing any of the humour - you tune in to watch what your favourite characters are up to, and watching their lives sort of becomes an extension of your own too, like catching up with an actual friend you know in real life.

[@UnbelievableCider]

That is a fantastic way of putting it!

[@notkuru]

This video made me reminisce about the smaller moments I had in the past few years with my friends. God I miss doing stupid things with them. All I can do is just wait for the next time we get together because of Covid and all. Thank you for making this video.

[@UnbelievableCider]

You’re welcome and thank you for watching! I really miss being able to just hang out with my friends too. It sucks not being able to get out of my dorm as much, and the winter weather doesn’t help much. COVID makes it tough, but we can pull through.

"F is for friends who do stuff together..."

[@mizoboe6193]

I can tell from the thumbnail and title itself, that this video will be a banger

[@UnbelievableCider]

Thanks lol I hope you enjoy it

[@ghajank6712]

Great video! K-ON is on my watchlist but I haven’t been able to ever watch anything on my watchlist lol

[@UnbelievableCider]

Lol I get that, especially with how many great things there are this season. I will say that K-ON is 100% worth the watch.

[@ghajank6712]

@CiderThoughts , yeah this season is so packed gonna go through my watch list when it ends

[@dpolaristar4634]

I was going to say that much of the appeal of Slice of Life is in the character archetypes often while being simple by close enough to real people you know to be instantly relatable to a given friend group. That being said, I don't really share your experience of "friends make things fun" I have fun with certain people, but I usually can't handle more than 1 v 1 or 1 v 2 with people anything more than three other people besides me is beyond me. I also can't really have fun no matter the activity, when I do an activity I'm focused on it 100% and everyone else doesn't exist, if I don't enjoy the activity others don't help it. BTW no one has done the meme. But Cut the SpongeBob Friend Song: F is for friends you do stuff together. U is for U and Me N is for Nywhere and Nytime time at all DOWN HERE IN THE DEEP BLUE SEA!!!! And then me singing: F is for FIRE THAT BURNS DOWN THE WHOLE TOWN U is for URANIUM (Bombs) N is for No Surivivors WHEN YOU! Plankton that's not what fun is all about now do it like this!

[@OtakuDreams]

Man I love your videos way too much, I thought I was feeling pretty happy these days, but watching this video really boosted that happiness! As a fellow Slice of Life lover, I understand exactly where you're coming from, it'd be so amazing to see more people give the genre a chance. Also, the way you put everything together was beautiful as usual, I especially loved the intro a lot! Keep up the awesome work man, this itself was fun to watch and you really made my day with this one! 😁

[@UnbelievableCider]

Thanks so much! I'm really glad you enjoyed!

[@anawolfgrrl4811]

Thank you so much for this beautiful video ☺️ When I was a freshman in highschool, all my friends gushed about K-On and Lucky Star but I couldn’t connect to it because all I wanted to do was be part of their group and feel accepted. nowadays, I watch Anime for myself and I can only enjoy slice of life and light romance when I’m going through rough times. This video encompasses the entire necessity and purpose of this genre of Anime ☺️ essentially, it makes us feel less alone and appreciate the simple things around us

[@UnbelievableCider]

You are so right! I love slice of life anime because it can always cheer me up, and I'm happy I'm not the only one who feels this way. Thanks for watching!

[@anawolfgrrl4811]

@@UnbelievableCider great minds think alive 😂✨ Always a pleasure to enjoy your content 🥰

[@dpolaristar4634]

I did use to turn my nose at Slice of Life, but then I saw Hyouka and did a 180.

[@UnbelievableCider]

Hyouka is a great gateway into SoL and overall a very good anime

Keep strong. Dont forget that despite the struggles and madness in this world today, God is full of justice, mercy and love. Justice said we broke His perfect law - causing the world's previous perfection to be destroyed - and therefore we deserve Hell (like a punishment in any legal system but this is eternal as His perfect law is eternal too). Don't think you fit in that category? Ever done one of these?: lying, stealing - regardless of how small the object EVER, hating others - which is murder in God's perfect law, lusting (plus God sees our entire thought life). Justice says "the soul that sins shall die" - if we break one in thought/word/deed it's as if we're guilty of all of them. Quite simply, living by the law (which is doing everything perfectly) is impossible for sinful humans . The law shows us that 1. We will die in Hell if we fail to follow it and 2. We cannot save ourselves BUT, 3. God's perfect, immovable law points us to Christ, who followed and fulfilled the law in thought, word and deed perfectly in our place. He did what we couldn't and did it on our behalf. He was then sentenced to death on a cross, and took our personal punishment for our sin, paying our penalty (like paying our fine) completely FOR us, and has given us freedom. If we turn from the sins we have committed and repent (pursue the opposite direction of love through Christ) He will, overtime, recreate us back into that previously perfect image through The Holy Spirit which Jesus sends to all who accept Him as their personal Lord and Savior of their life. He will help us through the struggle, the stress, and anything we experience in the world. It's about letting Christ in to guide and teach you and obeying Him through His power (not ourselves, we need Him to help us as it's impossible without depending on His power and instruction). He is our substitute in His life, death and resurrection. He essentially rewrote history in our place so that, if you believe in Him, it will be as if you had never sinned if you accept Christ's death as our own in our place. He is in Heaven right now preparing a place for us so that He can take His faithful, believing children home with Him when He returns. He will ressurrect us from death when He returns, giving mercy to those who accept His love, instruction and teachings in their life, and give justice to those who refuse it. He doesn't want ANY of us to go to Hell and die for continuing in evil and rejecting His way to life, thats why He died FOR us. Hes giving EVERYONE a chance, He wants everyone to take the free gift of salvation from Hell. He wants us to be His and begin to follow His life of love and service through His power and abiding (staying) with Him. So long as we keep our hearts near to Christ through His strength, strive to follow His will of perfect love revealed in the Bible, and let Him lead in the midst of (very certain) pitfalls and struggles, we will, in time, win the ultimate victory over sin, pain and DEATH through Christ. Even if you are willing to be made willing, pray for Jesus to come in and He will do what we can't. Give us The Holy Spirit who will guide us in the right way. Christ says in John 16:33: I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace. In the world you have tribulation and distress and suffering, but be courageous [be confident, be undaunted, be filled with joy]; I have overcome the world.” [My conquest is accomplished, My victory abiding.] - (AMPLIFIED version) NOTE: You are NEVER too sinful or messed up that God cannot turn your life around through Jesus. EVER. Regardless of what you've done or what you're going through you CAN make it through Jesus
