Видео

You're like the third person from the Philippines who commented on this video. It must have been seriously popular there

which one are you referring it?

I feel you. The amount of🤔 I get when I ask my friends if they remember it and then 😮 when I show pics and describe it is crazy. BTW the reddit thread is super nice and welcoming if you're looking for other MR fans.

There's still a few of us around!

I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Whereabouts are you from? I had people from reddit telling it was shown late night in their home country and had zero marketing 😅

@@waggishwonderland I’m from the United States

How so?

Did you enjoy the game? I think fans who watched the show first was disappointed that the game was so different.

The maker of this video says they watched it on the BBC, IE a brit... So it was shown in certain parts of Europe. I bet Spain got this show and probably France.

​@Zeiss120 I definitely saw it way back, and I'm from Germany.

As people have said, it was shown in Europe and as a Brit I watched it on TV.. But it was poorly marketed

The designs were original. I think the presentation wasn't memorable and as you said, got lost in the mix.

This why I liked the show. It wasn't overly cute or innocent. It had a much more realistic element while still being a kids show. You can also watch the full epsiodes show on youtube :D

Yeah... - Alice (the co-owner of this channel) is very happy lol I'm just dreaming of a reboot of monster rancher

Thank you! Eurgh, yeah, audacity...it was so fiddly this time for recording. What was even weird is if you listen to the video on an android phone it's fine. But if you listen to it on iPhone it's scratchy. No idea how that's even possible

This is a smart idea. I think Koei are really set in their ways when it comes to the game. It will need some new blood at the company to be ambitious and go for stuff like that.

There was a recent game in 2022 called ultimate kaiju. But they really focus on their Japanese market. I wouldn't say it's disappeared yet but it's on its way. The fact the my friends are all like '🤔 why does that sound familiar? ' when I ask them if they remember monster rancher, are signs that in the western world, it will be forgotten unless the creators do something special.

!! Well I'm glad this video solved that mystery. There are full episodes on RUclips if you want more of a nostalgia trip

More so than lack of marketing?

I want the VN so badly. Hopefully I can get it one day. If I do, I might do a blind playthrough 👀

Yeah, I like the reveal of that in Higurashi: Kai. In hindsight it would have been interesting to look closer at the supernatural aspect of the Hinamizawa Syndrome instead of just sticking to the more medical explanation.

@@waggishwonderland honestly, yours in one of the best videos on the subject! There are far too few considering how good and popular the anime was. It did devolve a bit after Kai but yeah, it was really good. It’s a little funny that by apologizing constantly, following them around, and sitting beside their bed at night, Hanyuu is actually making people with the syndrome way worse and more paranoid! I also wish we actually had shots of the parasite in the anime. Apparently they were able to find specimens in living affected people but we never clearly see what it looks like or how it operates, which is a shame. I wish there was also more explanation as to how it came about. Is it really linked to Hanyuu and her people coming to the village and introducing this foreign agent on the humans? Like in the alien story? Or did it kinda develop on its own, in the swamp or something? Anyways, loved your video 😸

I also just remembered something! It seems people of Hinamizawa were fully aware of some kind of infectious agent at some point in the past, and that’s why the dissection tools kept in the shrine were created. They also somehow found out that the parasite is dead in a dead host and therefore, they needed to dissect the intestines of living infected people who probably had reached L4 or L5 and made others eat it. As gross as it is, it was their only way to create some kind of primitive vaccine, by exposing them to the most toxic form of the parasite, but without eating the brain, which probably would have given them immediately L5, so it’s possible there’s still some byproduct, eggs, or toxin like you said, present in the intestines that could be used to try and vaccinate people from the disease without giving them the most contagious and dangerous parts. Maybe Hanyuu’s people had a hand in that very discovery, they knew of the disease, they most likely brought it around, as it is hinted they are somewhat demonic with their horns, glowing pupils, claws and whatnot, saw what it did to the humans, and came up with the rules about leaving and coming in, and a form of vaccination.

lol I swear you are freaking inspiration incarnate. I was checking out the fact you liked my comment, (thank you by the way!!!), and accidentally read again the part about not eating the brain part of my comment, and then something hit me like a mad truck!! PRIONS!!! That would make sooooo much sense! You probably know already, but the proteins that go rogue and cause Mad Cow Disease?! How perfect would that be! Back in the 80s they were barely studied, no one knew of Mad Cow disease or Kuru pretty much in the public until the massive outbreak in the 90s. You can’t see it in a microscope at the time, too small, it’s not a parasite or a virus or bacteria or fungus, the usual suspects of disease, and they would have been clueless about them and of course would think it was a parasite they could not see instead! Of course in the real disease, you can see the effect physically and visually on the brain after death, as it looks nothing like a normal brain anymore, so it may differ from the anime, but it would make so much sense as to why these people are losing their minds! Prions very much affect behavior, and if the prions in the anime are different, the symptoms would be different from our normal Mad Cow disease or CJD or Kuru. In real life, it affects the body a lot more, but in the anime, it may cause less noticeable physical symptoms, like the laughing hysterics they get into, which isn’t unlike Kuru, or Shion becoming incontinent, as well as pronounced tics of the limbs. It even can lie dormant for decades before suddenly waking up and wreaking absolute havoc on the brain, just like it can in the anime! I can’t believe I never even thought of this theory before! I know the anime pretty much says without question it was indeed a parasite and it could only be found in living specimens, but prions would have made so much more sense when you think about it!

Wow, I did not know about the prions. It’s a really interesting theory if you want to explore the disease more medically for sure! If it were to explained medically though, it would likely be a hybrid of a number if diseases all melted into the Hinamizawa Syndrome. I’m glad you seem to like the video and theories 😊

Wait so light (or the main character) could have been an elementary kid? I wonder if they went with that the manga/anime would have been as dark as it was

And yeah, I'm definitely going to check out Hilaru no go soon 😁

Yeah, i love concept art books like this . Thanks for watching. Nice profile pic lol

Thanks for watching Avatar!!

L'arc en ciel - Winter fall

Thank you! I appreciate other people may have different opinions but Azula in the cartoon was really S tier for me :)

@@waggishwonderland yep she is the best example of a talented but broken person. She is everything I want in a villain. I love her. I hate her. And I pity her.

@@EHW145 exactly. So many layers to her story. I hope the live action does that part of her story with justice. So far it remains to be seen...

@@waggishwonderland I don’t know about the live action doing her justice. Cause the bagger moles don’t use toph earth bending technique in it. See love and emotions.

Thanks for watching 😊

🤣🤣 Are la cryma Christi still playing? When did you see them

@@waggishwonderland they’re not but Hiro was the guitarist together with Yohio during Kamijo’s Europe tour.

Why do you think she was stupid ? 👀

@waggishwonderland I should have said super perfect but it's slang talk when I said stupid The floor is wet The floor was stupid wet But should say floor is really wet lol its slang

I whole heartedly agree with you. They manage to successfully tell an important message in this show that I'm sure was originally created to help sell toys and merch. Not many shows let alone cartoons talk about this struggle young ppl have, but they did a great job. Thanks for watching too!!

I totally agree. Digimon is truly something special and vastly underrated. I love seeing how much the cast from various seasons grow from the first episode to it’s last. Even though the seasons are around 60ish episodes you grow attached to them and their partners which makes saying goodbye all that more bittersweet.

Aww thank you! So advice: Buy neck fans. Having the hand held one makes it annoying to carry around. Neck fans are amazing Drink plenty water of course and use ton of sun screen ;) Get a UV umbrella, they help a lot. During 12-3pm try to be inside a mall, arcade or maybe a restaurant for luncj. Most places have air conditioning and there's so much to see inside. There's also cooling wipes you can get in 7/11 and family marts. They have a bit of a weird smell to them though, like methanol. Just as a heads-up :) When are you planning to go to Japan?

@@waggishwonderland Thank you a lot wasn't expecting to get such a big list of suggestions:D Sadly I am not going anywhere :D Hopefully someday :D Someone I know are going this summer so looking for some information for them just in case :D

@@avatarLT ah. Well definitely go whenever you get the chance 😄

Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it :)

That makes so much sense. I think I definitely got preoccupied with explaining it medically and completely looked away from the supernatural, but I can definitely see this theory holding up.

@@waggishwonderlandyeah there’s an explicit supernatural element/component to it. It’s actually brought up in the After Parties of the VN. You should REALLY check out the VNs. They are sooooo much more in-depth and provide so much more info. The anime really butchered the early arcs with how much they condensed & cut out.

@@Kenshiro3rd I definitely want to check out the VN's for sure! 😊

Awesome, thank you! So happy you enjoyed it too 😄

@@waggishwonderland I enjoyed it a lot! What made my day was you going through all the era's and the fact that I knew all bands but one from the 90's and the one that had their first concert in the USA in the 2000's. Good evening/morning/night 🤗💜

Haha, so happy to know you liked our vid ♥️ we will likely do the last episode of the season. Just so people aren't too spoiled and also it can cause fatigue. We will react to another anime first episode as well in a few weeks.

Thanks! Yeah will definitely add more emojis and switch it up quicker. Always happy to collab if you want :D

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching :D

Hmm i would say check out the anime but it does feel outdated. But if you were definitely checkout the earlier seasons. The newer ones are very tame in comparison

@@waggishwonderland seen all the seasons except black and white in japanese English subs

@@waggishwonderland in the Japanese verison it’s pretty different in its original release especially since we call ash here but in japan it’s satoshi

@@watchforever1724 you watched the Japanese version???

@@waggishwonderland yeah online since the start of this year thanks to fansubs

🤣 sounds costly

I've actually seen Outbreak, although that might have been after this video. It was pretty good, and I think it would support another theory someone mentioned in the comments. People suffering from shared delusions (can't remember its medical term).

That's really interesting. I only have 4 volumes of the manga, and no stores sell it anymore where I live, so manga lore is completely unknown to me. But I feel it's slightly hinted at in Higurashi Kai, that Hanyuu is linked to the disease.

😂😂

I included them in the montage 😁. Also the outro song is mucc
