they’re eachother worlds

I've never rewatched it, I usually rewatch a show I really like but I am afraid the feeling I had watching it for the first time won't ever come back. I don't understand it and I don't want to understand the feeling I had, it felt special somehow

love Sonnyboy a lot. don’t try to control reality, don’t wish for anything, don’t regret anything, don’t live in the past because at the end of the day,, life goes on. No matter what you did or didn’t do today, time goes on. - my main take away. hard pill to swallow for me tbh… it’s like it just slaps it in your face unapologetically lmfaoo. Surely someone else got the same feeling😭😭

Excellent video, truly well done

Idk why I always randomly think of sonny boy, I don't understand it but I find it nagging me in the back of my mind or whatever. I have to try and watch it every year and watch all these RUclips essays.

I finished Sonny Boy about a week ago in the first third of my last summer vacation. Curently, I'm trying to make good memories and to enjoy the rest of my school life. So I picked SB up from some recomendation video on RUclips and what can I say.. I don't regret watching it. The show gave and gives me feelings of nostalgia like that dude said. When the time came and I finished the show I felt a sense of uneasiness. "I don't want the show to end!" is what I thought. I guess its obvious why I had these thoughts and feelings. Because I don't want my school life to end. I'm (we humans) are afraid of change. And as I sat there with my chin down catching flies the show was over. Furthermore, I like you may reading this right now and I guess anyone else watching SB for the first time doesn't understood it at all. So I started to look for explanation videos. But luckily I stopped watching after a few (three I think). What can I add more? I'm somehow satified and unsatisfied with what I know from Sonny Boy. So I will reserch SB and get different perspectives of the interpretation to better understand what this show means to me. Why will I do this? Simply because I like the show as a whole and because Sonny Boy gave me the feeling of being understood. Guess that's what SB means to me already. And then there's this video. Like I cannot describe how (much) I like SB I can't descibe how I like this video. To me it catches the vibe of SB perfectly. It fells like watching another episode of Sonny Boy. Thanks @Roggoll for making this video. You captured the vibe and essence of SB perfectly, in my perspective. And what I also apreciate how this comment section is a space where you can share your experiences with SB. For that I'm also thankful.

Haha I just came from another video titled "How to understand Sonny Boy"

I just re watched the show after 2 years. What I'll say is, I've learned and understood a lot of things and I have my own. Interpretation of the story. Which might not be as much comprehensive as others interpretation of this show. If I care too much about others interpretation of the story. I might think I'm wrong and they are in the right. That is why I don't watch any explanation video unless it's necessary

beautiful video

Probably best essay ive seen about probably best anime ive seen.

peak fiction

I know that this video will stick with me for a long time, alongside the show itself. Amazing writing and editing, and it really helped to reinforce the feelings I felt while watching the show and what I understood from it. Thanks for this video.

This video is a masterpiece.

It's one of my favourite shows yet I have no clue what it means

Absolutely love the ending summary, beautifully put together.

Thank you so much for it. I tried to watch the show one year ago when i was depressed and i just looked at it again and again searching for my own reflection in it, but i didn't find anything. I watched the show again a week ago, already healed and just foubd it beautiful, i don't know why i am alive but i'm happy that i am. * sorry for my bad english

I’ve always had so many thoughts and ideas about sonny boy. I’ve watched it so many times. I know what it means to me. But this video opened up a new way of explaining this thing that means the world to me. I couldn’t help but cry. You made an amazing piece. in a way created another shadow world of meaning to sonny boy.

Sonny Boy was one of the first times an anime had a meaning to me regardless of it actually being the intention of the creators.

Around the second or third episode I knew the show was committed to being illogical and absurd. Which only bred my apathy, good show disorganized purposefully

beautiful beautiful beautiful video, thank you for this

Omg I just now realize you're the twitter guy, I've loved this video for so long and only now I realize you made this. Good stuff

It should be recommanded to everyone who love Sonnyboy! And it brings great atmosphere, just like Sonnyboy(*'▽'*)♪

I finished Sonny Boy a while ago and it was a rough time emotionally speaking, but I didn't understand a lot of it. This is a take on interpreting art that I haven't heard before, but I'm so glad to have now. It's criminal you have under 1k subscribers! Your articulation and explanations were on point, so much so that I (like others) just cried at my desk for a while. I feel like I really understand how not to understand, thank you for the video!

Thank you for this video man.

This sentiment is more heavily applied to FLCL for me. The significance of the experience IS the confusion and the disorientation

My feelings have been finally expressed into words I can understand. Something I have already unknowingly understood when I first watched it. Thank you for making this video; it was a brilliant summary of emotions felt throughout the show.

This is one of the best video essays out there!

Thanks for giving me a depper appreciation of one of my already favorite shows :)

Eh, the show was ok. An anime like Aggretsuko understood my life more so than Sonny Boy ever did.

This video goes so hard.

Your voice and tone are well fitting for your artistry here, I hope that making this video was as healing for you as watching it was healing for me. Thank you.

This show was the first piece of media I've consumed in quite a long time that I felt truly understood the ennui and listless feeling of being a young adult. It was a strong feeling graduating high school and an even stronger one graduating college -- what do we do with ourselves when we suddenly aren't bound to the schedules and expectations placed upon us? How do we find our way in the absence of the routines that define our childhoods? It also reflects a postmodern disillusionment with the expectations of a capitalist society that I think is gaining a lot of traction in today's youth. We're inheriting a world where truly achieving what you dream of feels impossible, and therefore we've had to learn to appreciate those small joys we have in each other and the little corners of reality we inhabit. It's a bittersweet sentiment but very realistic and where most media would tackle the topic with either too much optimism or too much nihilism, Sonny Boy finds a perfect balance between both. As you suggest in the video, this show doesn't require its audience to understand it because it understands its audience and the anxieties they face with so much accuracy and nuance. Great video and I hope it encourages more people to watch this anime

I cannot thank you enough for this video. I try to search for the meaning in everything I do, see, read, and experience. I’ve been obsessed with it, and the day I woke up and forgot my own meaning of why I woke up, was the day my life got just that much harder. I used to think not have any meaning or purpose would be liberating, but I found it insufferable. Nothing gave me joy or happiness or any of the things that made me want to live. I like to write in my free time, nothing big or well made, just my thoughts (like what I’m writing now) and whenever I write it feels as if I’m trying to explain the inexplicable. It’s as if the thoughts in my head could never be properly put onto paper, and that bothered me. The feelings I felt and experienced needed to be told and conveyed to others, in part because I believed them and what I felt and what I had to say felt special. But now I know that I can never do this, as much as I may try. After watching this video, I feel as if I know why I can’t do this. Because these feelings belong to me and no one else. My feelings and emotions are mine o mine and I must treasure that. And although I’ll never stop trying to put them into paper. But every time I do fail to do so, I’ll revel in it, and enjoy the moment. Thank you for giving me a feeling that no one else could have, and experience I will never be able to write down, and an appreciation for the moments spent watching your video and writing this comment.

Incredible video man. Sonny Boy was incredibly spectacular to experience and I'm glad to have finally watched it for myself.

Yoooo I get the joke with the video being 4:20 lol, I see you

I want you

Such a great video. Thanks for taking your time to make it. Fr, it is such a great video😭

It's beautifull work man. Please come back on youtube Upd: I finished watching Sunny Boy a week ago. With all the episodes in hand, I still watched one episode a day/two. Already from the first episode, I realized that I had found for myself the very hidden gold I had been looking for a long time. The funny thing is that I was waiting for it but missed it. Saw some really bad reviews about it. I ended up enjoying every episode. Having finished watching, I realize that in this anime there are a lot of riddles and questions, to which it is proposed to find the solution yourself. But... I've been terrorized for a week now by the question - Why? Why did they leave that world? I can find a simple answer to it and most likely logically justify it. But my soul is tormented and demands something else. I believe that something valuable may be hidden in such a simple question. This Anime left me with a question, tears and at the same time a smile on my face. I will miss it

I watched the anime because I remember you gassing it up on twitter and... holy shit. It swept me off my feet. It's probably one of my favorite anime now. I thank this video and your twitter for existing to make me discover this show.

I just finished this anime last night and I've still been struggling to make sense of it. There's countless interpretations of it across the internet, and I'm aware that most people who are fans of it argue against interpreting it, of trying to understand and make sense of what you watched. And while I personally don't mind other people enjoying the show, that mindset made it so much harder for me. It was difficult for me to enjoy the ride that Sonny Boy was taking me on because of how abstract it was getting. It's hard for me to focus on "how the show made me feel" when all I felt was confused and frustrated. I don't need or want to understand media I've consumed, but this kinda felt like a bit of a waste of time. And this really really sucks because I wanted to like this show, SO BAD. I was hooked for the first six episodes, but everything after that completely lost me. I've seen FLCL before, and I see a lot of ppl comparing Sonny Boy to it online, but I'd have to disagree with the comparisons. FLCL can be enjoyed even if you don't know what's going on. It's fast-paced, funny, shows off some some amazingly animated fight scenes, and it has a killer soundtrack. I don't think I can say any of the same with Sonny Boy. What frustrates me is that if art is best when it's removed from meaning, then why even create art in the first place?? I understand some art is supposed to be left up to more interpretation than others, but if every interpretation is valid (even the ones that contradict each-other), does that not make the art meaningless? Whatever message the author was trying to convey is now completely lost because everyone is taking away something different. Why even create at that point?

what an amazing video, couldnt put it into words how much i loved it

truly beautiful video. thank you.

great video

man! this video was Amazing

So stop interpreting everything or you'll lose yourself?

I will never forget Sonny boy. I finish watching sonny boy around march 2022. Whenever i see sonny boy again…i just get feeling that i cant even explain..only i know.. Sonny boy is one of my favourite anime ;)) Also the ost tho!! My favourite ost is mitsume- spare the vibes of that song.. just idk.. make me feel emotional…

"If it wasn't, why are paintings so large, but the plaques explaining what they mean so small". What a fucking bar. This essay was beautifully written and that line tied it up perfectly that I cried. Thank you!

Great video! I never saw Sonny Boy in this way and it was eye-opening, thank you!

goated video
