After 25 years, Ash and Pikachu's journey finally comes to a close. Did their final installment do them justice? Did this video need to be 75 minutes long?

[REDIRECT] Does It Hold Up?: Martian Successor Nadesico
I was wondering if your opinion changed at all after episodes 2 and 3 came out. For me, its good for a chuckle or 2, but overall I think MHAA isn't anywhere near as good as SAO abridged is.
I also see Alluka/Nanika as a representation of being neurodivergent. The way her family and others who aren’t Killua always used her to attain their own selfish desires while labeling her as the monster kinda reflects how neurodivergent people are often manipulated and taken advantage of by neurotypical people. There’s also the fact that Alluka’s family immediately separate her from the others due to her operating differently from them, and never trying to at least understand her like Killua does
Man, I'm happy the BW2 arc came to an end.
Regarding the release schedule and such, i watched thos while it came out and the fan backlash from episode 1 was severe and i think they were going to can the whole project ar some point. Then they decided to continue airing and we got a bunch at once, and if it's a fan favorite lime you said it was probably to save the show, and there was no chance at all bt then of getting a second season. A lot of this i found out on the CR forums which are... Haha... No longer existing. In that regard, the fans ruined it.
I think it was more paint by numbers and jot as good as phantom, which really made people take to this too hashly. I also feel the live action movie is better but incan't judge this entry too harshly. It was handled poorly, but more so by the direction and style than anything else. Also, weirdly though, the art itself is actually more IS more in line with the art on the covers of the light novel and the art of the manga adaptations than phantom.
Thanks for giving this underrated show some love. It's rare to have the animators so in sync they just add to the original work. For example the steam locomotive whistle sound whenever someone gets steaming mad is comedy genius. Also loved season 2 and hope to see more, but sadly the health of the author is very bad.
Maybe Alluka is a boy, but Nanika influencing his personality makes him feel like a girl
I started watching this series and was immediately bothered by the editing. It's crazy how practically all scenes have bad editing, it's jarring and off-putting.
Found you from Noodle, you have a good name!
This video is was made 4 years ago
Just finished watching and can't get over the fact that no new episodes are gonna be there to watch, I love you Ash and Pikachu. I know you are gonna be the Pokemon Master. Apart from all the criticism this is the only series we all grew up watching and yeah everything has an ending I hope you make a return in the new episodes as a guest. I am gonna miss you both❤. This review was the most interesting one bud.
Frieren chuds stay winning.
ALLUKA IS SO AWESOME !!!! every once in a while i see people online misgender her (probably on purpose) and that makes me so mad . really its not ambiguous at ALL theres no room for interpretation here!!
When I was a kid, as soon as I heard the first DP intro, I was done with the anime. 9 year old me just thought it was cringe.
Nice review.
Thanks for the informative video. I didn't realize that Death Note and Gurren Lagann were so dominant in the late 2000s before FMA Brotherhood arrived.
Nahnah fuck that i pronounce alluka as biologically female
Why would an 8 year old even go transfendee
Bro grow the fuck up the official databook says she's biologically male 💀
A lot of kids can tell they're trans early on and they don't regret it
@@nobodyuknow. you sound like a straight up groomer. maybe keep your mouth shut if you don't want to be seen as a pedo
Currently rewatching a lot of the Pokemon anime and after watching the beginning of DP, I decided to go back and watch this video and like, while I was more invested in what was happening compared to you, what you said makes complete sense if you don't like a majority of what took place in those episodes. It really is asinine to expect you or anyone else for that matter to invest almost 200 episodes into a story that you are very obviously not into. I feel like it should be obvious to be people who are fans of DP (like myself) that we were able to sit through the show cause we got something out of it that you didn't. Nobody sits through media they actively dislike especially for 200 episodes. It isn't even like you tried to take away from people enjoying DP, people just cannot stand the idea that someone dare criticize what is considered the fan favorite in any way. Anyway I hope I left 1 good comment in a sea of absolute garbage.
You officially win the "Sanest Diamond & Pearl Fan Award" lol. I do think people need to realize that, more often than not, reviewers/critics/etc. aren't trying to make people feel bad for liking something. Even knowing that myself there are a lot of series that I just don't want to touch because I know the non-thinkers will willfully misinterpret it (he says with a Love Live video currently in development lol). Really the only reason I made this is because I have even bigger Pokemon projects I want to do and not having my thoughts on D&P put out there would be a huge impediment to it. Oh well. I've long given up on trying to please even a notable minority of people. If they get it, they get it, and that's cool.
@@emberreviews1364damn 5 years later and you still stand by this atrocious review, it has nothing to do with “I’m not telling people what to like” it’s just plain badly written and worded from a production and premise standpoint. I’ll never understand how you don’t see the flaws here
@@Soniman001 Literally how? Like name any point that's flawed based on the material I reviewed.
Dysfunction celebrated. How poetically destructive
I'm pretty certain Clannad: After Story was the #1 anime at one point as well. It probably didn't get captured in the Wayback Machine, but there's a featured article on MAL that states: "before the powerhouse that is Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, Clannad: After Story was the highest-rated TV anime on MAL for some time." Great video!
Maybe they're talking about the calamity When they say it's a guy, maybe it's a male calamity.
loved the video but the vtuber opening makes you a fucking dork
Your opinion is wrong
Good review.
I'm so glad I found this video, I really couldn't have said it better myself. The fights in this anime are quite poor, especially when you look at the previous two animes. The fights just get worse when Sword or Knight put on their armor, they move so slow when they're supposed to be at their fastest.
Logh breifly taking the top spot overall and still sitting on top of all OVA’s is a testament to its greatness.
WAIT ALLUKA IS TRANS!?!? She went from being one of my favorite characters to least favorite.
So, just to be clear: a character that you loved for how they were written/presented in the story you suddenly hated because of their gender identity. I want you sincerely think about what that says about you. Like, seriously. I want you to think through the full implications of what that says about how you interact with the world.
@@emberreviews1364 why couldn’t see just be normalll
@@Lilstinker1129because people like you feel the need to ask questions like that
There is no clear cut proof they are trans, it is a fan theory.
Fuck
What is blud even babbling about with SAOA season 2? Talking mad shit before it even actually started is he stupid?
If you're talking about Alfheim, the first two episodes had been out for a while by the time I made this. Where did I say anything about "season 2"?
2024
I read somewhere on Reddit, Gintama was purposefully downvoted by many because they didn't understand the anime! Its probably not a great amount of people that did it to Gintama but its not uncommon for some popular anime to be targeted by some people.
I think MAL's ranking is getting violated lately. This is because over the last few years a massive amount of new anime watchers started to rank the animes & 2 things happen from this: They generally rate too high or too low, thus a 7/10 previously getting 9/10 these days or a previous 6/10 might be getting 1/10 now. & A lot of emphasis they put on animation quality over the entire story. This hurts the older animation or low budget production with less fps.
Not entirely true, I keep seeing monster rising up even though it was released 20 years ago and animation is not up to the modern standard
Wait it’s supposed to be ugly?
So you like every episode. Good for you.
Stellar job of not listening to any of the points I made whatsoever. What a spectacular dipshit you are.
@@emberreviews1364 I did. Still don't want to watch unnecessary episodes
"Liking" and "being necessary" are not the same thing. I don't like every episode of FMA: Brotherhood, but it is unquestionable that every episode is necessary for what the work is attempting to do. The same principle applies for episodic stories. If you start watching an episode and you think it sucks, you're free to skip it, but you also have to recognize that you are missing a fundamental part of the story. For example, I hate the episode where Ash's Chikorita is introduced. I could have risked skipping it and probably filled in the gaps with future events, but I still would have missed something regarding Chikorita's characterization. That the trade-off you're making whenever you decide to skip episodes. All the episode might not be good, but they are all necessary to get a complete picture of what the story is trying to convey. No one's pointing a gun to your head and forcing you to watch every episode, but don't pretend like you're not missing something when you skip an episode. Quantifying part of a piece of art as being "necessary" or not is fucking lame, full stop.
@@emberreviews1364 The 1st episode of brotherhood is unnecessary. You can skip it. Many episodes of Pokemon are unnecessary. You can skip then. I personally did not skip the one episode of fmab, because it was just one. I refuse however to watch every episode of a series when half of them don't do anything. I am really not missing much. It's not like a 20' episode of a kid show is going to blow my mind. I am simply a childhood fan of the game that wants to see the story. And watching Pokemon episodes that don't advance the plot, when I am not prepubescent, isn't appealing.
frieren being there for so long now must appriciated
1:11:41 this actually isn’t the first time ash alludes to this He says it in the bw finale
53:57 sure but Goh is not a battler
49:52 GOH’s approach to catching pokemon is what the fanbase has wanted ash to do
38:33 their still charming and filled with personality no matter what interpretation they are
33:23 ash didn’t train less Most of it was just offscreen Offscreen is still canon
32:13 if he didn’t win then people would just complain that he never wins and mock him for being “a bad trainer” like they’ve always done It’s a lose lose situation
26:42 win or lose ash battles because it’s fun Winning is just a side effect
BW was the only “reset”
8:12 I blame the pandemic they knew they wouldn’t have time to focus on galar too much so they held somethings back for horizons
4:19 The structure is that it’s a wholesome adventure And about just having fun Not their fault they were impacted by the pandemic filler doesn’t exist in the anime it’s all part of the adventure every experience large or small helped make ash the person he is today there are no fillers all these adventures big and small made ash the person he is today This series is about having wholesome adventures Maybe they get something maybe they don’t The goal isn’t to catch the goal is to have a wholesome adventure filler doesn’t exist in the anime it’s all part of the adventure every experience large or small helped make ash the person he is today guys there are no fillers all these adventures big and small made ash the person he is today The anime doesn’t need to be badass all the time it’s the cute and sweet little wholesome episodes that make it so special Appreciate it now because when it’s gone you’ll miss it As someone once said We were made to be Nothin' more than this Finding magic in all the smallest things The way we notice, that's what really matters Pokémon is meant to be a wholesome comfort show if they’re expecting badass moments every five seconds then they’re watching the wrong show it’s adorable and sweet Journeys has structure in its own unique way Because that was never the point As the og theme said Pokémon is about Oh your my best friend in a world we must defend I will travel across the land searching far and wide each pokemon to understand the power that’s inside Our hearts so true our courage will pull us through you teach me and I teach you” That’s what it is about and that’s what it will always be about and if that’s what it continues to be about until the end of time Anipoke isn’t really about what ash’s catches it’s about the wholesome adventures and the friends he made a long the way and I really wish you guys would appreciate that more because you’ll miss it when it’s gone There was no filler and it wasn’t pointless every experience it all made ash who he is now What the pokemon anime community fails to understand. Imagine if someone called the events that you enjoy in your own life filler. filler doesn’t exist in the anime it’s all part of the adventure every experience large or small helped make ash the person he is today there are no fillers all these adventures big and small made ash the person he is today This series is about having wholesome adventures Maybe they get something maybe they don’t The goal isn’t to catch the goal is to have a wholesome adventure filler doesn’t exist in the anime it’s all part of the adventure every experience large or small helped make ash the person he is today guys there are no fillers all these adventures big and small made ash the person he is today The anime doesn’t need to be badass all the time it’s the cute and sweet little wholesome episodes that make it so special Appreciate it now because when it’s gone you’ll miss it As someone once said We were made to be Nothin' more than this Finding magic in all the smallest things The way we notice, that's what really matters Pokémon is meant to be a wholesome comfort show if they’re expecting badass moments every five seconds then they’re watching the wrong show It wasn’t perfect but they tried their best There should be a legally binding requirement before becoming a fan of something that you have to follow the positive ideologies that the thing u like teaches. How can something that teaches empathy kindness and compassion have people that follow it that behave the opposite That you gotta take an oath and be sworn in before becoming a fan or something like that Like how doctors take an oath to do no harm and if they break it they get black listed Maybe you have to take an oath to always have a wise and heroic spirit and if you break your oath you get banned from the fandom
1:22 to be cute and approachable
Unique and wholesome and understandable cuz of Covid restrictions
Ichigos entrance is peak shounen
Gintama Vs fmab was when I started going to anime parties. It was the first time I met weebs. I didn't know people like that existed. I would love learning about drama between weebs. You'd think with so many shounen anime they would through fists but no. Those weebs thought they had superior intelligence and would doxx each other show embarrassing texts and being passive aggressive in general over the fattest chick imaginable.
