This is by far my favourite video from you. I heard you mention somewhere that the next upload was going to take a while but i wasnt expecting 4 hours. Thats dedication to the craft man, great job, and great video. Also shout out to your dog bro.
My guy you are part of the reason why RUclips is the best media platform that exists. How did you even start with the script.. this is literally insane
As an artist and long time anime lover, what a comforting and informative video on a subject I have _never_ seen someone tackle before. As soon as I saw the title I was like "Holy shit, I've never heard anyone talk about this topic. 5 hours? Sign me up" Edit: your use of _Skyward_ Sword music combined with your explanation of the castle floating into the sky (1:20:07) was not lost on me. Seeing the love you put into this video and it's narrative, I doubt this was a coincidental choice!
You madlad. You really did it. I just discovered you, when you said you were working on this longer video. I have nothing but appreciation for you, for seeing it through. Your content is such a "hidden" gem here on youtube. Thank you!
It's wild, I was *just* thinking about this topic yesterday. Some 90's anime will have a budget of ¥27 and a coughdrop, yet they always hit it out of the park when it comes to backgrounds. And then you have the opposite end of the spectrum, like Akira, which if the entire film was just two hours of backgrounds, it would still be a must-watch.
3 days later and I’ve finally finished this video, and that ending saying goodbye to Shichiro Kobayashi and him saying we can meet him in the worlds he’s created god damn. You’ve done something special here man. I know it’s been said a hundred times already but congrats on finishing this beast of a video, and you should be super proud of what you put together 🫶🏼
@@InternetPitstop it worked like a fucking charm man! And hit me like a tonne of bricks. Makes me want to start writing some videos from a hard hitting ending point and work backwards
When I was little, I had yet to discover anime but I remember being obsessed with the backgrounds of my favorite animated kid's shows. Backgrounds are surprisingly involved. Take a character's bedroom for instance. What can we tell about them from the mess (or lack of mess) in the room? What are their toys like? Their books? I can't think of Cardcaptor Sakura's house without thinking about her cute alarm clock or her stuffed animal collection. As a kid, I would draw highly detailed backgrounds to give my characters all the things they would need to be comfortable. It sounds strange, but I wanted my backgrounds to nurture my characters. I still cannot watch a show or play a video game without taking a moment simply to appreciate the environment.
man, as much as I love animation, I'm so happy someone is as interested to make a 4 hour essay on just the subject of background. Thank you for respecting the work of all of these animators and the Animation medium
The influence that many of these backgrounds and aesthetics had on live-action cinema is really cool too. Probably my favorite example is how Cowboy Bebop was largely inspired by Blade Runner, but then went on to have its art direction be influential to Blade Runner's reboot, and then finally coming full circle and having Shinichiro Watanabe (Bebop's director) truly get his flowers by directing first an OVA and then a full anime series set in the blade runner universe.
Your music choices are a huge part of how invested I feel watching this video, you have PHENOMENAL taste This is also just an incredibly thorough and well researched/documented chronology of sick anime, plenty that I’d never even heard of before too - fantastic job dude:) Animation is such an evocative medium and it’s so cool to see someone else talk about how much the vibes impact them
as an italian i have to say that Marco absolutely nails 1800s Genoa, it's clearly based on the descriptions in the novel and the research is amazing. I believe this experience was also very important to myazaki for the making of Porco Rosso, where, even without the same accuracy in the architecture and landscapes because of his onirical style, he's able to immortalize the general vibe perfectly
Your goal of making the most aesthetically pleasing chill video was achieved. You also gave me and the rest of the viewers some AWESOME recommendations! Impeccable work IP 👏🏻💖🙏🏻
I just wanted to say I recently starting working for a studio. Your video has inspired me and sparked an admiration for something I have never been able to put to words. The energy that comes from these spaces with the music scope that you have created is absolutely beautiful. It's funny that you have made so many different works of art seem like just a stop on a long and ongoing narrative that feels so human and so expressive. The video may be 5 hours, but it still doesn't feel long enough. I just want to linger in these spaces, sitting for just a moment until I am ready to come back up for air. Thank you, you've inspired me to continue learning and probably taking some art classes to try and recreate these works.
4 hours??? For real??? I am actually trying to learn better background design using anime and I've gotten into the habit of screenshotting any backgrounds I feel look good and worth learning from. And you're telling me you made a 4, almost 5 hour video on anime backgrounds!!! Ummm, thank you!! I don't know how long it will take me but just thank you! I don't see many people talk about backgrounds and even I have only recently developed an interest in them so I hope to learn a lot. Thank you again!
I work 2 jobs and don't have alot of time my hands, it took me 6 days to finish this and it was well worth it. I appreciate your dedication and passion for what you bring to us.
Bro I love the call out for not watching a movie but geeking out on work day long, obscure anime vids 😂 this is what we want & need, uncut rants doin your own thing (and loving the grown out hair btw, curly hair gang)
After a couple of weeks I have to say this is one of the best RUclips videos I've ever seen, this is what RUclips should always be and have been. Just passion about a topic, you can feel all the work behind the making of this, all the research. In the middle of all the reaction channels and the low effort content this shines as light of hope and true passion for RUclips. A very high quality content. I watch anime since I was a toddler, I'm 29 now and watching this I learned a lot about the series and movies that I have seen along those years in a way I didn't expect, thanks for giving tribute to the people behind anime, thanks for make me apreciate anime in a new way. Thanks bro.
Straight up, I’m just commenting to help out the algorithm. Been following you for a while now brother, and everything you produce is made with such care and love. I hope you feel proud for the monument you created, and know that I’ll be doing my small part to help share it with the world. You’re a beast my guy ❤
As an artist I really appreciate this video because I’m trying to get into doing background art myself, and this video really helped me figure out what style I would like to do in the future and what amazing artist I can learn from to achieve the goal. Even though this video did take me two days to finish😅it was worth it.✨💖💖
I’ve never felt such a sense of nostalgia as heavy as when I watched this young men’s videos. You deserve like three mil subscribers not just because I like you, but because of the way that you’ve made me feel as a man from the 90s, I know almost all of us feel this way.
The care you put into this video is insane. Not only do you provide such thorough analysis, but your editing as well deserves its own praise. You could have easily just kept the green screen cut out in the corner, but you moved it to fit the context of certain backgrounds and even put a BUBBLE OVER YOUR HEAD when you were underwater. Your passion for creating videos is evident. Also got to mention your music choices. Such an amazing selection from a variety of media, and you paired each anime with background music that pair perfectly with the themes you discuss. Like I already said, your passion is evident. Keep up the incredible work!
So I finally finished after 2 days and I have to say it was such a lovely journey all the way from the 60s to present times. It felt long in a good way, like I love how much time you took on each decade and even shed light on the amazing people behind all these timeless backgrounds in anime. I enjoyed every minute of this, so much that when it ended I felt kinda empty. I was very invested in this it seems😂😂😂😂. Anyways, I'm very grateful for all the effort and passion you put into this. I think we could tell how much it took a toll on you. 4, pretty much 5 hours is no joke. The research, filming and editing must've taken more out of you than we can imagine. But you did an extremely good job. I hope you know that. You sincerely were a relaxing pitstop in the corner of the internet.
I know I'm kinda late. But I absolutely love the music connections you do in the whole video. Connections to games, other media, it all connects so beautifully, that you are bound to notice. Hollow Knight is one of my favourite games, and your inclusion of it's music is magical. The toxic jungle section in Nausica pairing up with the fungal wastes is so impactful. Of course, Angel's Egg is obvious, but you still made it so impactful. Ya'harguls music in Berserk's eclipse is so so good. True respect, it shows not only your commitment to your passion, but the vast way you're able to express yourself. That's art.
This has actually been one of your best videos yet. It’s just truly phenomenal & so serene at times, the background music matches the visuals on screen so well it’s mesmerizing, honestly I don’t know how to put how much I appreciate this one into words. It’s just perfect fr. Keep doing what you’re doing IP, much love from all of us
IP, i don’t know how you do it or what exactly it is about your videos, but almost all of them manage to bring tears to my eyes… i just want to say thank you, i’m still going through the most fucked up breakup i’ve ever had, i feel like shit and almost don’t see the point of living anymore. but the stuff you make is something i can always go to to get at least a little bit better. thank you with all of my heart.
You wouldn't believe how many times I've checked your channel to make sure Papa RUclips didn't forget to notify me when you dropped this masterpiece. No lie, I checked on Friday and here we are on Sunday and it's finally arrived! Congrats on the accomplishment and i can't wait for more in the future, keep doing what you're doing bro you're great 😩👌💕
Half-way through. Loving it so far. Your thoughts on the anime and what the backgrounds mean and all the little story bits you put in is enchanting. I really am taking my time with this one. Looking up people you mention and always rewinding to rehear your musings.
1:16:00, Porco imprinted on me. I just love how it tells a proper story without taking itself too seriously. The color choices slay me every time. The fact that the mc is a mustachioed pig that flies planes is just the cherry on top. :D Thank you for making such a cool video.
Your videos always bring me back to the pure passion and admiration I've had ever since first starting to get into the medium around 10 years ago when I was 11-12yo and still in primary school. That absolute joy and wonder that I had experienced throughout highschool by getting deeper and deeper into everything that manga and anime had to offer. Thank you.
The vast variety of the backgrounds and the vibes they eminent has always helped me visual writing scenes. Whether it be chill city vibes & serene forests to abstract desolate urbanscapes or oppressively dark landscapes
My man, an other banger of a video, so much work and love for thoes gorgeous shows an arstists! I am SO happy you mentioned Girls Last Tour, one of my all time favorite anime/manga (the music is incredible too) i had a blast thank you so much for this blessed content you made my day and i can't thank you enough for what you do here on youtube. Take care dude and much love.
I’ve finally made my full way through this masterpiece of a video (I’ve been watching a little bit day by day) thank you IP for all the work you put into this. It’s a really special video and labor of love
Fellow Laputa lad here ✋ Man… this video is Outstanding, love that you talk about each chapter with such passion. Keep up the good and obvious time consuming work ❤
Thank you for this video! Background art is so beautiful and goats like Shichiro Kobayashi should be household names in animation so thank you for sharing your appreciation for his work :)
Didn't think it was possible to find someone who loves ICO (RUINS, MAN) as much as I do. Love you and all the work you do, but especially on this video. I can't imagine the hours spent researching, scripting, recording, and editing such a love letter to a part of anime I never appreciated before. You've absolutely achieved what you set out to do in helping people appreciate the artform and get to know some of the amazing artists in the anime world.
i just wanna say this video is the reason i passed finals. the whole time i was working on essays and i was watching this i kept thinking “if you can put your heart and soul into this than i can write one essay” i hope you know this video isn’t lost on us at all. thank you pitstop ❤
We truly are blessed to be in a period when anime is truly westernized to a point where we can look at archives and to be astonished like our first time seeing the world. Thanks ip for showing us the beauty of color, setting and time of anime backgrounds. You pumped blood into this side of youtube man
I'm not really an active Anime fan, but was when I was a kid. I'm about halfway through this video and you've done a great job. You nailed a certain nostalgia I've had for this kind of landscape, especially from the 90s. Always enjoy catching your content, great work.
I listened to this while making scenario sprites for my next indie game. I peeked at the video a lot, too. So inspiring! I also love when someone talks about Lodoss War, because I like it so much, and so few people know about it.
I've rarely seen a 4hr+ video and not only committed to watching it, but watched it for multiple days, and when I reached the end it made me not only tear up a little, but made me re-evaluate what I'm doing with my life
I hope you’re proud of yourself for this one, my guy. This was a video and a half. I have a ton I want to say, but I’ll just keep it to the main bits. Your use of music in this video (and, honestly, all of your videos) is, by far, my favorite thing about your work, man. First of all, the absolute staggering range of genres and artists you use is just… oh my god. One minute, I’m vibing to the blissful tones of the Breath of the Wild soundtrack. The next minute, you put on some haunting Nier sounds. Then you hit me with that Nujabes… and then, out of NOWHERE, I’m like “did this man just… start playing Frank Ocean?” And THEN you hit me with Meek Milly during a segment about the WIND RISES?? Bro, you had me buzzing the entire video just trying to guess what the heck you were gonna bump next. And all of that music just lifted the actual subject matter of the video to new heights. There were points where I didn’t know where a song might have come from, so I honestly assumed that was just the soundtrack playing in whatever scene you were showing, they fit THAT well with what was one being shown. Another thing I adore about the video was how you used references. I’m not just gushing about the member berries just because. I mean, the way you would describe the beauty of a background by, say, explaining how you would want to explore the castle in Lupin III like it was a Dark Souls area. The backgrounds already spoke for themselves, and your writing made them even more breathtaking. But using references like that and going in DETAIL with them got me hype like we’re friends talking at a sleepover. It was just so… I dunno, human? So human that it made this video feel that much more cozy. I don’t want take up too much of your time, man, but for real. You’re a goated one. I have absolutely no problem with officially saying that you are, without a doubt, one of my favorite artists right now. Not content creators. Artist. Anything that inspires me to want to get up and start creating in the middle of the night is art in my book. This video, and all of your others (especially that Twilight Princess one, that one was emaculate) has cemented you into my mind forever. Keep going man. You got something truly special here, and I mean that from the bottom of my heart.
Yo man thank you so much for this comment honestly one of the most heartfelt and genuine nice comments I’ve ever received. Truly humbled by it thank you so much! And I always love to hear ppl geekin over the music choices lol I spend a lot of time choosing songs lol like the dreams and nightmares meek mill beat got hit with copyright at first and I had to muffle it out a lot to fit in and reuploaded the vid just to keep that song in because it was way too important to the narrative of the video cause wind rises backgrounds deal a lot with dreams and how they become sorta nightmares and so the song was too fitting for that lol once again thank you for the comment and the love man!
I've been a fan since the beginning and I just want to say I think its possible this video will be a marker that splits your channel into a before and an after. The amount of research that went into this is crazy and will probably influence all your videos from this point on. Keep up the amazing work my man!
This video gives me all the right feelings, and I'm only an hour in. Dude really, it's giving comfort, inspiration, humor, insight, awe. Thank you so so so much for your efforts in creating this gem of a video!
The editing in this is top tier. From the CT timeline to the (consistent) use of the DS message SFX for the info tooltips, including the mask effect for the titles of all the series featured.
I finally finished the video (I couldn't do anything else while watching because I didn't want to miss anything so it took some time) and now I find myself tearing up over a name I didn't know about four days ago. Your goal of making people appreciate anime backgrounds and the names behind them is undoubtedly reached. Before this video, out of the main people you talked about, the only name I knew was Oga and that's only because I was lucky enough to visit a Studio Ghibli exhibition nine years ago. I'm lost for words to express what this video made me feel. Thank you for spending so much time making it. I wouldn't be surprised if it inspires people into becoming background artists.
I feel like parts of my life were narrated through these backgrounds. I am impressed with the beautiful work you've done. The video seemed to stress your oratory skills, but you've done a remarkable job. The video reminded me of anime I never watched but knew was around in the 90s. The first half really took me back. The old-school Sailor Moon anime always stabs me in the heart. It was a more charmed time. Anything could happen! Boys had cooties! Stepping on a crack could break your mother's back!😅 Ah, childhood. Now I'm an adult. Things can happen, but the world doesn't feel so fresh and boundless. Now Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust is what stirs my passions. It's like it gets what I've been through.
Ok ok! So as someone who grew up with Heidi and spent some time in Scandinavia and Italy, both Heidi and 3000 Leagues are just phenomenal when it comes to capturing the feeling of those respective locales. 3000 Leagues, specifically. Does such a wonderful job of capturing coastal Italy. Holy cow. The way the towns climb the hills toward the skyline. The way the alleys twist and turn and you can almost smell the mustiness of the darkened corners that have existed in shadow for centuries. What really got me was that one shot of the hanging laundry. But it wasn’t the laundry that caught my attention (and my nostalgia). It was the building in the background. That combination. Of cracked, stuccoed building with salt-worn green shutters. That’s so quintessential Italian coast to me. Ghibli did an incredible job on the details in 3000 Leagues especially. (I’m very blessed to have been able to spend such time in such beautiful locations, and have such happy memories of it.)
Your videos are actually my favorites. I’ve watched nearly all of them. The quality is always on point. How you edit them always gives me a good feeling and puts me at peace. I appreciate you and the work and the amount of effort you put into every video
We Love You Man!!!❤❤❤ Thank you sooo much for working so hard to put out such AMAZING HEARTFELT WHOLESOME & NOSTALGIC Content, I really look forward to Your videos every single day since I stumbled on this little pitstop on the internet..❤❤ Please know your appreciated and MUCH LOVED thank you for everything you've poured your hear & soul into!! And thank you for always making sure to give credit & praise to these amazing GOATS help on the collabs with this video !!😊
I’m an animator who’s trying to make it into the anime industry and while watching/listening to this video I finished a couple of personal animations. This was perfect, thank you for making this.
I refused to put this video on in the background because I wanted to fully appreciate the art that you were showcasing here and give my fullest attention to the artists involved in making these beautiful landscapes. Unfortunately this led to me watching the video an hour at a time because not unfortunately your video actually helped give me motivation for working on my own art, and I'm actually trying to figure out how to better approach learning 2d art myself in the future too. Thank you so much for this video it was definitely worth the hype and wait I had for it, keep up the good work man :)
Great job, you should be proud of all the work that you do, your channel has a very important place in my heart, you dont know how much your content is a rare good relaxing atmosphere on the internet, hope you get more more and recognition, because you deserve it
Thank you so much for blessing my December with this. The music choices here were so well done I felt myself getting sentimental and nostalgic for memories I've never had. P.S. streets needs you to drop a playlist of the music you used in the video
I usually don't leave comments, but this was a phenomenal amount of work and effort and it clearly deserves support and recognition. I watched this video in like 5 sittings. It honestly felt like a journey. So much insight, very well done! Drawing to this video was just so nice!
I love how shinkai makes photorealist landscapes burst through the ultrarealism into magic and wonder. With Your Name he polished it, in Weathering with you he expanded it and in Suzume he perfected it. The guy is insane.
I randomly got this in my recommended, and the amount of effort you put into this video is insane. Good stuff. Edit: Also, thank you for being positive about the anime industry when there's a lot of pessimism recently regarding crunch culture, overwork and lack of talent.
So I have watched this entire video. I didn’t think I would but internet pitstop’s personality, creativity and analysis keeps you drawn in and engaged throughout! And yes, you are loved! Thank you for putting in so much work!😊
This is by far the best anime video I've ever seen. You educated me a lot with this essay. Special moment for me was as you mentioned girls last tour. It's in my top 3 anime of all time and I am happy that though your video, many people will hear of it. Thank you so much for making this bomb of a video. Cowabunga! 🐢
Let's acknowledge the uniqueness and rarity of this video. It's surprising that not many people explore the impact of art style, background, atmosphere and aesthetic on our appreciation, perhaps because it's ubiquitous that we often take it for granted, much like the air we breathe. Bonus : I liked how passionately and in depth you appreciate sunsets, I have a thing for "Tony Scott Sky" too. Something about those Golden Hour hues. I really liked you couldn't help to explain every colours/hues that comprised the sunset and how everything else ( buildings, landscapes, clouds, water source,etc) gets coloured by it!
I was looking forward to this video ever since you announced you were working on it! ALMOST 5 HOURS!? THANK YOU FOR THIS MASTERPIECE!! ❤❤❤ I have been introduced to some incredible shows and movies because of this video! I am such a sucker for classic anime and historically important animation! I love that I finally found a community that loves anime background art as much as I do! I think my favorite backgrounds in anime belong to City Hunter. I really hope you talk about this show in your analysis! The backgrounds are consistently beautiful and breathtaking for a TV budget.
I share a special connection with Mushishi because my aunt (who has passed away a while ago) showed me it when I was new to anime and i remember the countless cozy summer nights and cold winters I’ve sat in my room watching Ginko explore the beautiful countrysides and atmospheric landscapes of Japan with the immensely immersive ost to pair with it. It’s almost as otherworldly as getting high for the first time and I genuinely hold that series close to my heart because of how much I watched it as a kid with my aunt and its episodic format similar to my other favourite animes like cowboy bebop, samurai champloo etc. Practically all of the series you mentioned in this 4 hour passion project of yours explores and kinda reminds me why I’ve always been an anime old head and gravitated towards those shows because the backgrounds and art styles they had really are on a different level that even with the beautiful animation we get nowadays doesn’t really replicate that well at least in my opinion. Also I may not comment much on ur channel that much because I usually have everything you put on in the background while I’m working or grinding a video game or studying or something random but man I just wanna say thank you for everything you do and create because there’s not many places where I can find people that share my vast knowledge and weird interests with. its always a treat to stop by at this lovely pitstop when my life gets stressful or boring, untill next time my fellow internet friend 👍
Took me a month to finish this video of yours. Not only your best work, but one of the best things I have ever seen, and not limited to RUclips. Absolutely fantastic. This might be one of the best experiences of 2023 for me. Thank you, IP.
I'm so freaking proud of you I've been here since the beginning and watching this video for the past 4 days straight as I either wake up or go to sleep has been a joy going through a difficult time again I needed this so much information and knowledge that you possess do your constant studying once I find a job I'm sure to donate to your patreon keep up the good work for the people that need this like Oxygen please keep up the research and studying and making cool videos and your co-host was perfect.
You really contextualized anime for me. This video seriously made me realize anime is beyond the stories they tell. Amazing video, keep talking about things you're passionate about bro it seriously shows you care about the topics in your videos.
IP has such a well-defined identity as a channel. It’s obvious that you’ve put a lot of love into each video down to the second. Please keep doing what you do. It makes a difference to know you have a pitstop just a few miles up ahead.
As an aspiring animator this is goooold, thanks so much for your hard work and dedication! Everything you cover on this channel is perfect from the humor to the music, it's all in my wheelhouse. It's like hanging out with a friend :')
not only is this video a technical achievement, but somehow this whole thing feels really personal to me too somehow. there’s a very genuine nature to you and the content you make, so keep doing what you’re doing man.
My man. This is just the second video of yours I’ve watched, and I’m only a half hour into it so far, but I have to stop for a minute and say two things. First, thank you for the insane amount of work that went into this. I can already tell it’s going to be quite literally a life-changing video for me, as an artist that was considering going into animation but have talked myself out of it many times in the past. I am seeing this at the most pivotal point in my life, and I can’t tell you how much that means to me. Second, you are going to be HUGE on the platform if you just keep doing what you’re doing. Your content is great, your personality is great - likable, laid back, etc. - and you feel like a natural on camera. You remind me a lot of much larger channels like Scott the Woz and NakeyJakey in the sense that you - like them - feel like you were BORN to be doing this. I can’t wait to see the channel grow, and wish nothing but the best for you, because you deserve it!
Homie im not sure i can even really explain the way your videos makee feel. You just get it. It's so comfy and interesting every time you upload something new. You're like that friend you just want to smoke with or drive around for hours talking about life. It's such a hard thing for me to put into words. Amazing video, truly a piece of art in and of itself. This along with your yugioh video are just something else.
Wow, stunning video. Your passion is plain to see; must have taken a lot of dedication, so thank you. This video is a great service to an essential part of anime history and its legacy
Great video, was pleasantly surprised the see Monogatari and Girls' Last tour on the list. I especially love the latter, as it turns what would normally be a depressing environment into the worlds largest playground.
Tbh even though the movie was kinda awkward Ghibli's Ocean Waves really stuck with me, I can't stop watching it because it really captures how life doesn't really have this overarching plot or big ol character motives, people are awkward and it really shows it.
Bro low-key intimidated me with this video. Here I am, thinking I know anything about anything, and then here he comes knowing 1000x more (about anime at least)
Oh man. Horus Prince of the sun! What a movie! I remember stumbling across it on tv when I was a kid, maybe 12 or so. It was around Christmas time so all my cousins were there too. I literally remember feeling spellbound and having a sudden moment of clarity at the advert break that all my siblings and cousins were STILL staring transfixed at the screen. It was so immersive. Great video, haven't got through all of it yet but look forward to it
Never heard of you before this video, but I love you. Definitely sending this to a bunch of my friends, and subbing I'm an illustrative artist, and I've always struggled with/disliked doing background work (still struggle with it a lot...), and this video was just.. beautifully done. Might need to save the other half for late, cause it's 4 a.m. right now; but I really don't want to stop watching this.

Absolute legend for this dude!!!!!!❤
He’s really pushing that 10 minute mark huh
Just a bit
My guy you are part of the reason why RUclips is the best media platform that exists. How did you even start with the script.. this is literally insane
As an artist and long time anime lover, what a comforting and informative video on a subject I have _never_ seen someone tackle before. As soon as I saw the title I was like "Holy shit, I've never heard anyone talk about this topic. 5 hours? Sign me up"
Edit: your use of _Skyward_ Sword music combined with your explanation of the castle floating into the sky (1:20:07) was not lost on me. Seeing the love you put into this video and it's narrative, I doubt this was a coincidental choice!
Thank you for catching the thematic music connection lol
You madlad. You really did it.
I just discovered you, when you said you were working on this longer video. I have nothing but appreciation for you, for seeing it through. Your content is such a "hidden" gem here on youtube. Thank you!

It's wild, I was *just* thinking about this topic yesterday. Some 90's anime will have a budget of ¥27 and a coughdrop, yet they always hit it out of the park when it comes to backgrounds.

Thank you man I worked super hard on weaving his story to get to that ending so I really appreciate you pointing that out!
@@InternetPitstop it worked like a fucking charm man! And hit me like a tonne of bricks.

Usually i finish these in the exact time as the vid, but i got old, late teens, but its not what it used to be
Those edits of each anime before you talked about them were TOP TIER!! Also I LOVE YOU IP DONT STOP
When I was little, I had yet to discover anime but I remember being obsessed with the backgrounds of my favorite animated kid's shows. Backgrounds are surprisingly involved. Take a character's bedroom for instance. What can we tell about them from the mess (or lack of mess) in the room? What are their toys like? Their books? I can't think of Cardcaptor Sakura's house without thinking about her cute alarm clock or her stuffed animal collection. As a kid, I would draw highly detailed backgrounds to give my characters all the things they would need to be comfortable. It sounds strange, but I wanted my backgrounds to nurture my characters. I still cannot watch a show or play a video game without taking a moment simply to appreciate the environment.
man, as much as I love animation, I'm so happy someone is as interested to make a 4 hour essay on just the subject of background. Thank you for respecting the work of all of these animators and the Animation medium
The influence that many of these backgrounds and aesthetics had on live-action cinema is really cool too. Probably my favorite example is how Cowboy Bebop was largely inspired by Blade Runner, but then went on to have its art direction be influential to Blade Runner's reboot, and then finally coming full circle and having Shinichiro Watanabe (Bebop's director) truly get his flowers by directing first an OVA and then a full anime series set in the blade runner universe.
Your music choices are a huge part of how invested I feel watching this video, you have PHENOMENAL taste
This is also just an incredibly thorough and well researched/documented chronology of sick anime, plenty that I’d never even heard of before too - fantastic job dude:) Animation is such an evocative medium and it’s so cool to see someone else talk about how much the vibes impact them
as an italian i have to say that Marco absolutely nails 1800s Genoa, it's clearly based on the descriptions in the novel and the research is amazing. I believe this experience was also very important to myazaki for the making of Porco Rosso, where, even without the same accuracy in the architecture and landscapes because of his onirical style, he's able to immortalize the general vibe perfectly
Your goal of making the most aesthetically pleasing chill video was achieved. You also gave me and the rest of the viewers some AWESOME recommendations! Impeccable work IP 👏🏻💖🙏🏻
Thank you!
4 hours? Sigh that’s light work
I’ll take your stuff seriously if it’s 9 hours
@@WhizPillgood for you buddy
I just wanted to say I recently starting working for a studio. Your video has inspired me and sparked an admiration for something I have never been able to put to words. The energy that comes from these spaces with the music scope that you have created is absolutely beautiful. It's funny that you have made so many different works of art seem like just a stop on a long and ongoing narrative that feels so human and so expressive. The video may be 5 hours, but it still doesn't feel long enough. I just want to linger in these spaces, sitting for just a moment until I am ready to come back up for air. Thank you, you've inspired me to continue learning and probably taking some art classes to try and recreate these works.
That’s awesome man! Keep it up!
4 hours??? For real??? I am actually trying to learn better background design using anime and I've gotten into the habit of screenshotting any backgrounds I feel look good and worth learning from. And you're telling me you made a 4, almost 5 hour video on anime backgrounds!!! Ummm, thank you!! I don't know how long it will take me but just thank you! I don't see many people talk about backgrounds and even I have only recently developed an interest in them so I hope to learn a lot. Thank you again!
I work 2 jobs and don't have alot of time my hands, it took me 6 days to finish this and it was well worth it. I appreciate your dedication and passion for what you bring to us.
An almost 5 hour long documentary on anime backgrounds starting with Nujabes is most def gonna be good
Absolutely insane video. Just wild stuff man. This rules, and I’m so glad more and more people have been finding your channel.
Bro I love the call out for not watching a movie but geeking out on work day long, obscure anime vids 😂 this is what we want & need, uncut rants doin your own thing (and loving the grown out hair btw, curly hair gang)
Thank you fam!
After a couple of weeks I have to say this is one of the best RUclips videos I've ever seen, this is what RUclips should always be and have been. Just passion about a topic, you can feel all the work behind the making of this, all the research. In the middle of all the reaction channels and the low effort content this shines as light of hope and true passion for RUclips. A very high quality content.
I watch anime since I was a toddler, I'm 29 now and watching this I learned a lot about the series and movies that I have seen along those years in a way I didn't expect, thanks for giving tribute to the people behind anime, thanks for make me apreciate anime in a new way.
Thanks bro.
Can't we just like a video twice? There should be a super like or something for this kind of video
Dude I’m like 30 mins in and can feel the passion, I’ve been considering making content on my own and this inspired me. I thank you my bro
Straight up, I’m just commenting to help out the algorithm. Been following you for a while now brother, and everything you produce is made with such care and love. I hope you feel proud for the monument you created, and know that I’ll be doing my small part to help share it with the world. You’re a beast my guy ❤
Been working through this video for a few days, I’m a bit over halfway now, the vibes are immaculate
As an artist I really appreciate this video because I’m trying to get into doing background art myself, and this video really helped me figure out what style I would like to do in the future and what amazing artist I can learn from to achieve the goal. Even though this video did take me two days to finish😅it was worth it.✨💖💖
I’ve never felt such a sense of nostalgia as heavy as when I watched this young men’s videos. You deserve like three mil subscribers not just because I like you, but because of the way that you’ve made me feel as a man from the 90s, I know almost all of us feel this way.
The care you put into this video is insane. Not only do you provide such thorough analysis, but your editing as well deserves its own praise. You could have easily just kept the green screen cut out in the corner, but you moved it to fit the context of certain backgrounds and even put a BUBBLE OVER YOUR HEAD when you were underwater. Your passion for creating videos is evident.
Also got to mention your music choices. Such an amazing selection from a variety of media, and you paired each anime with background music that pair perfectly with the themes you discuss.
Like I already said, your passion is evident. Keep up the incredible work!
So I finally finished after 2 days and I have to say it was such a lovely journey all the way from the 60s to present times. It felt long in a good way, like I love how much time you took on each decade and even shed light on the amazing people behind all these timeless backgrounds in anime. I enjoyed every minute of this, so much that when it ended I felt kinda empty. I was very invested in this it seems😂😂😂😂. Anyways, I'm very grateful for all the effort and passion you put into this. I think we could tell how much it took a toll on you. 4, pretty much 5 hours is no joke. The research, filming and editing must've taken more out of you than we can imagine. But you did an extremely good job. I hope you know that. You sincerely were a relaxing pitstop in the corner of the internet.
I know I'm kinda late. But I absolutely love the music connections you do in the whole video. Connections to games, other media, it all connects so beautifully, that you are bound to notice. Hollow Knight is one of my favourite games, and your inclusion of it's music is magical. The toxic jungle section in Nausica pairing up with the fungal wastes is so impactful. Of course, Angel's Egg is obvious, but you still made it so impactful. Ya'harguls music in Berserk's eclipse is so so good. True respect, it shows not only your commitment to your passion, but the vast way you're able to express yourself. That's art.
This has actually been one of your best videos yet. It’s just truly phenomenal & so serene at times, the background music matches the visuals on screen so well it’s mesmerizing, honestly I don’t know how to put how much I appreciate this one into words. It’s just perfect fr. Keep doing what you’re doing IP, much love from all of us
IP, i don’t know how you do it or what exactly it is about your videos, but almost all of them manage to bring tears to my eyes… i just want to say thank you, i’m still going through the most fucked up breakup i’ve ever had, i feel like shit and almost don’t see the point of living anymore. but the stuff you make is something i can always go to to get at least a little bit better. thank you with all of my heart.
I appreciate the love man and I hope you feel better and get better from the breakup
@@InternetPitstopi appreciate that. thank you
You wouldn't believe how many times I've checked your channel to make sure Papa RUclips didn't forget to notify me when you dropped this masterpiece. No lie, I checked on Friday and here we are on Sunday and it's finally arrived! Congrats on the accomplishment and i can't wait for more in the future, keep doing what you're doing bro you're great 😩👌💕
Half-way through. Loving it so far. Your thoughts on the anime and what the backgrounds mean and all the little story bits you put in is enchanting. I really am taking my time with this one. Looking up people you mention and always rewinding to rehear your musings.
1:16:00, Porco imprinted on me. I just love how it tells a proper story without taking itself too seriously. The color choices slay me every time. The fact that the mc is a mustachioed pig that flies planes is just the cherry on top. :D Thank you for making such a cool video.
Your videos always bring me back to the pure passion and admiration I've had ever since first starting to get into the medium around 10 years ago when I was 11-12yo and still in primary school. That absolute joy and wonder that I had experienced throughout highschool by getting deeper and deeper into everything that manga and anime had to offer. Thank you.
The vast variety of the backgrounds and the vibes they eminent has always helped me visual writing scenes. Whether it be chill city vibes & serene forests to abstract desolate urbanscapes or oppressively dark landscapes
My man, an other banger of a video, so much work and love for thoes gorgeous shows an arstists! I am SO happy you mentioned Girls Last Tour, one of my all time favorite anime/manga (the music is incredible too) i had a blast thank you so much for this blessed content you made my day and i can't thank you enough for what you do here on youtube. Take care dude and much love.
I’ve finally made my full way through this masterpiece of a video (I’ve been watching a little bit day by day) thank you IP for all the work you put into this. It’s a really special video and labor of love
Fellow Laputa lad here ✋ Man… this video is Outstanding, love that you talk about each chapter with such passion. Keep up the good and obvious time consuming work ❤
Thank you for this video! Background art is so beautiful and goats like Shichiro Kobayashi should be household names in animation so thank you for sharing your appreciation for his work :)
Didn't think it was possible to find someone who loves ICO (RUINS, MAN) as much as I do. Love you and all the work you do, but especially on this video. I can't imagine the hours spent researching, scripting, recording, and editing such a love letter to a part of anime I never appreciated before. You've absolutely achieved what you set out to do in helping people appreciate the artform and get to know some of the amazing artists in the anime world.
i just wanna say this video is the reason i passed finals. the whole time i was working on essays and i was watching this i kept thinking “if you can put your heart and soul into this than i can write one essay” i hope you know this video isn’t lost on us at all. thank you pitstop ❤
I really hope this video pops off for you. You deserve it after putting in this much work I cannot imagine the hours you put in😂
We truly are blessed to be in a period when anime is truly westernized to a point where we can look at archives and to be astonished like our first time seeing the world. Thanks ip for showing us the beauty of color, setting and time of anime backgrounds. You pumped blood into this side of youtube man
I'm not really an active Anime fan, but was when I was a kid. I'm about halfway through this video and you've done a great job. You nailed a certain nostalgia I've had for this kind of landscape, especially from the 90s. Always enjoy catching your content, great work.
I listened to this while making scenario sprites for my next indie game. I peeked at the video a lot, too. So inspiring! I also love when someone talks about Lodoss War, because I like it so much, and so few people know about it.
I've rarely seen a 4hr+ video and not only committed to watching it, but watched it for multiple days, and when I reached the end it made me not only tear up a little, but made me re-evaluate what I'm doing with my life
I hope you’re proud of yourself for this one, my guy. This was a video and a half. I have a ton I want to say, but I’ll just keep it to the main bits.
Your use of music in this video (and, honestly, all of your videos) is, by far, my favorite thing about your work, man. First of all, the absolute staggering range of genres and artists you use is just… oh my god. One minute, I’m vibing to the blissful tones of the Breath of the Wild soundtrack. The next minute, you put on some haunting Nier sounds. Then you hit me with that Nujabes… and then, out of NOWHERE, I’m like “did this man just… start playing Frank Ocean?” And THEN you hit me with Meek Milly during a segment about the WIND RISES?? Bro, you had me buzzing the entire video just trying to guess what the heck you were gonna bump next. And all of that music just lifted the actual subject matter of the video to new heights. There were points where I didn’t know where a song might have come from, so I honestly assumed that was just the soundtrack playing in whatever scene you were showing, they fit THAT well with what was one being shown.
Another thing I adore about the video was how you used references. I’m not just gushing about the member berries just because. I mean, the way you would describe the beauty of a background by, say, explaining how you would want to explore the castle in Lupin III like it was a Dark Souls area. The backgrounds already spoke for themselves, and your writing made them even more breathtaking. But using references like that and going in DETAIL with them got me hype like we’re friends talking at a sleepover. It was just so… I dunno, human? So human that it made this video feel that much more cozy.
I don’t want take up too much of your time, man, but for real. You’re a goated one. I have absolutely no problem with officially saying that you are, without a doubt, one of my favorite artists right now. Not content creators. Artist. Anything that inspires me to want to get up and start creating in the middle of the night is art in my book. This video, and all of your others (especially that Twilight Princess one, that one was emaculate) has cemented you into my mind forever.
Keep going man. You got something truly special here, and I mean that from the bottom of my heart.
Yo man thank you so much for this comment honestly one of the most heartfelt and genuine nice comments I’ve ever received. Truly humbled by it thank you so much! And I always love to hear ppl geekin over the music choices lol I spend a lot of time choosing songs lol like the dreams and nightmares meek mill beat got hit with copyright at first and I had to muffle it out a lot to fit in and reuploaded the vid just to keep that song in because it was way too important to the narrative of the video cause wind rises backgrounds deal a lot with dreams and how they become sorta nightmares and so the song was too fitting for that lol once again thank you for the comment and the love man!
I've been a fan since the beginning and I just want to say I think its possible this video will be a marker that splits your channel into a before and an after. The amount of research that went into this is crazy and will probably influence all your videos from this point on. Keep up the amazing work my man!
This video gives me all the right feelings, and I'm only an hour in. Dude really, it's giving comfort, inspiration, humor, insight, awe. Thank you so so so much for your efforts in creating this gem of a video!
The editing in this is top tier. From the CT timeline to the (consistent) use of the DS message SFX for the info tooltips, including the mask effect for the titles of all the series featured.
I finally finished the video (I couldn't do anything else while watching because I didn't want to miss anything so it took some time) and now I find myself tearing up over a name I didn't know about four days ago. Your goal of making people appreciate anime backgrounds and the names behind them is undoubtedly reached. Before this video, out of the main people you talked about, the only name I knew was Oga and that's only because I was lucky enough to visit a Studio Ghibli exhibition nine years ago. I'm lost for words to express what this video made me feel. Thank you for spending so much time making it. I wouldn't be surprised if it inspires people into becoming background artists.
I feel like parts of my life were narrated through these backgrounds.
I am impressed with the beautiful work you've done. The video seemed to stress your oratory skills, but you've done a remarkable job.
The video reminded me of anime I never watched but knew was around in the 90s.
The first half really took me back. The old-school Sailor Moon anime always stabs me in the heart. It was a more charmed time. Anything could happen! Boys had cooties! Stepping on a crack could break your mother's back!😅 Ah, childhood.
Now I'm an adult. Things can happen, but the world doesn't feel so fresh and boundless. Now Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust is what stirs my passions. It's like it gets what I've been through.
Spirited away was one of the first anime I saw as a child and it really stuck with me
Goddamn it, the mad lad actually got the video out!! Let's go!!
While I am actually very interested in this topic, the call out within the first minute about my RUclips watch habits was not necessary💀
Ok ok! So as someone who grew up with Heidi and spent some time in Scandinavia and Italy, both Heidi and 3000 Leagues are just phenomenal when it comes to capturing the feeling of those respective locales.
3000 Leagues, specifically. Does such a wonderful job of capturing coastal Italy. Holy cow. The way the towns climb the hills toward the skyline. The way the alleys twist and turn and you can almost smell the mustiness of the darkened corners that have existed in shadow for centuries. What really got me was that one shot of the hanging laundry. But it wasn’t the laundry that caught my attention (and my nostalgia). It was the building in the background. That combination. Of cracked, stuccoed building with salt-worn green shutters. That’s so quintessential Italian coast to me. Ghibli did an incredible job on the details in 3000 Leagues especially.
(I’m very blessed to have been able to spend such time in such beautiful locations, and have such happy memories of it.)
Your videos are actually my favorites. I’ve watched nearly all of them. The quality is always on point. How you edit them always gives me a good feeling and puts me at peace. I appreciate you and the work and the amount of effort you put into every video
We Love You Man!!!❤❤❤ Thank you sooo much for working so hard to put out such AMAZING HEARTFELT WHOLESOME & NOSTALGIC Content, I really look forward to Your videos every single day since I stumbled on this little pitstop on the internet..❤❤ Please know your appreciated and MUCH LOVED thank you for everything you've poured your hear & soul into!! And thank you for always making sure to give credit & praise to these amazing GOATS help on the collabs with this video !!😊
As a concept artist that love doing environments, this video is amazing and inspirational! Thank you so much for your efforts!
I’m an animator who’s trying to make it into the anime industry and while watching/listening to this video I finished a couple of personal animations. This was perfect, thank you for making this.
I refused to put this video on in the background because I wanted to fully appreciate the art that you were showcasing here and give my fullest attention to the artists involved in making these beautiful landscapes. Unfortunately this led to me watching the video an hour at a time because not unfortunately your video actually helped give me motivation for working on my own art, and I'm actually trying to figure out how to better approach learning 2d art myself in the future too. Thank you so much for this video it was definitely worth the hype and wait I had for it, keep up the good work man :)
Great job, you should be proud of all the work that you do, your channel has a very important place in my heart, you dont know how much your content is a rare good relaxing atmosphere on the internet, hope you get more more and recognition, because you deserve it
Wow... It is pretty wild how quickly anime started to set itself apart and get super creative with the scenary... Really impresive realy... Wow
Thank you so much for blessing my December with this. The music choices here were so well done I felt myself getting sentimental and nostalgic for memories I've never had.
P.S. streets needs you to drop a playlist of the music you used in the video
I always have a playlist of all the songs I used on a video in my description! It’s right there for ya! Much love!
I usually don't leave comments, but this was a phenomenal amount of work and effort and it clearly deserves support and recognition. I watched this video in like 5 sittings. It honestly felt like a journey. So much insight, very well done! Drawing to this video was just so nice!
I love how shinkai makes photorealist landscapes burst through the ultrarealism into magic and wonder. With Your Name he polished it, in Weathering with you he expanded it and in Suzume he perfected it. The guy is insane.
I randomly got this in my recommended, and the amount of effort you put into this video is insane. Good stuff.
Edit: Also, thank you for being positive about the anime industry when there's a lot of pessimism recently regarding crunch culture, overwork and lack of talent.
lack of talent makes no sense but the other 2 are very real concerns that are hurting real people
Crunch culture and overwork aren't pessimism. they're real issues that need to be addressed
So I have watched this entire video. I didn’t think I would but internet pitstop’s personality, creativity and analysis keeps you drawn in and engaged throughout! And yes, you are loved! Thank you for putting in so much work!😊
This is by far the best anime video I've ever seen. You educated me a lot with this essay. Special moment for me was as you mentioned girls last tour. It's in my top 3 anime of all time and I am happy that though your video, many people will hear of it. Thank you so much for making this bomb of a video. Cowabunga! 🐢
Easily one of the greatest videos in RUclips history. I hope you're proud of yourself for this man, even got me all choked up at the end
Let's acknowledge the uniqueness and rarity of this video. It's surprising that not many people explore the impact of art style, background, atmosphere and aesthetic on our appreciation, perhaps because it's ubiquitous that we often take it for granted, much like the air we breathe.
Bonus : I liked how passionately and in depth you appreciate sunsets, I have a thing for "Tony Scott Sky" too. Something about those Golden Hour hues. I really liked you couldn't help to explain every colours/hues that comprised the sunset and how everything else ( buildings, landscapes, clouds, water source,etc) gets coloured by it!
I see how this took so long to get out, INCREDIBLE WORK! and can I just say the music choice is impeccable.
I was looking forward to this video ever since you announced you were working on it! ALMOST 5 HOURS!? THANK YOU FOR THIS MASTERPIECE!! ❤❤❤ I have been introduced to some incredible shows and movies because of this video! I am such a sucker for classic anime and historically important animation! I love that I finally found a community that loves anime background art as much as I do! I think my favorite backgrounds in anime belong to City Hunter. I really hope you talk about this show in your analysis! The backgrounds are consistently beautiful and breathtaking for a TV budget.
I didn't know I needed a video like this, but I'm glad you've brought this to life. Niche shit like this gives me life
I share a special connection with Mushishi because my aunt (who has passed away a while ago) showed me it when I was new to anime and i remember the countless cozy summer nights and cold winters I’ve sat in my room watching Ginko explore the beautiful countrysides and atmospheric landscapes of Japan with the immensely immersive ost to pair with it. It’s almost as otherworldly as getting high for the first time and I genuinely hold that series close to my heart because of how much I watched it as a kid with my aunt and its episodic format similar to my other favourite animes like cowboy bebop, samurai champloo etc.
Practically all of the series you mentioned in this 4 hour passion project of yours explores and kinda reminds me why I’ve always been an anime old head and gravitated towards those shows because the backgrounds and art styles they had really are on a different level that even with the beautiful animation we get nowadays doesn’t really replicate that well at least in my opinion.
Also I may not comment much on ur channel that much because I usually have everything you put on in the background while I’m working or grinding a video game or studying or something random but man I just wanna say thank you for everything you do and create because there’s not many places where I can find people that share my vast knowledge and weird interests with. its always a treat to stop by at this lovely pitstop when my life gets stressful or boring, untill next time my fellow internet friend 👍
Took me a month to finish this video of yours. Not only your best work, but one of the best things I have ever seen, and not limited to RUclips. Absolutely fantastic. This might be one of the best experiences of 2023 for me.
Thank you, IP.
This for me is the prime example of "What youtube video would you watch on repeat if you can only choose one to watch forever ".
Thank you for giving me something to listen too while I'm working on my script, your a big inspiration my guy
I'm so freaking proud of you I've been here since the beginning and watching this video for the past 4 days straight as I either wake up or go to sleep has been a joy going through a difficult time again I needed this so much information and knowledge that you possess do your constant studying once I find a job I'm sure to donate to your patreon keep up the good work for the people that need this like Oxygen please keep up the research and studying and making cool videos and your co-host was perfect.
You really contextualized anime for me. This video seriously made me realize anime is beyond the stories they tell. Amazing video, keep talking about things you're passionate about bro it seriously shows you care about the topics in your videos.
IP has such a well-defined identity as a channel. It’s obvious that you’ve put a lot of love into each video down to the second. Please keep doing what you do. It makes a difference to know you have a pitstop just a few miles up ahead.
Love the time and dedication you put into all your vids Can’t wait for you to get the flowers you deserve 🤞🏾
As an aspiring animator this is goooold, thanks so much for your hard work and dedication! Everything you cover on this channel is perfect from the humor to the music, it's all in my wheelhouse. It's like hanging out with a friend :')
not only is this video a technical achievement, but somehow this whole thing feels really personal to me too somehow. there’s a very genuine nature to you and the content you make, so keep doing what you’re doing man.
3:31:20 The combo of hearing you say Summer Wars immediately followed by Twinleaf Town was so surreal; two of my favorite things together in harmony!
This video had made me appreciate background art so much more than I have before.
This video is amazing, man. You really poured your soul into this one. Congrats on getting it out
My man. This is just the second video of yours I’ve watched, and I’m only a half hour into it so far, but I have to stop for a minute and say two things.
First, thank you for the insane amount of work that went into this. I can already tell it’s going to be quite literally a life-changing video for me, as an artist that was considering going into animation but have talked myself out of it many times in the past. I am seeing this at the most pivotal point in my life, and I can’t tell you how much that means to me.
Second, you are going to be HUGE on the platform if you just keep doing what you’re doing. Your content is great, your personality is great - likable, laid back, etc. - and you feel like a natural on camera. You remind me a lot of much larger channels like Scott the Woz and NakeyJakey in the sense that you - like them - feel like you were BORN to be doing this. I can’t wait to see the channel grow, and wish nothing but the best for you, because you deserve it!
Homie im not sure i can even really explain the way your videos makee feel. You just get it. It's so comfy and interesting every time you upload something new.
You're like that friend you just want to smoke with or drive around for hours talking about life. It's such a hard thing for me to put into words.
Amazing video, truly a piece of art in and of itself. This along with your yugioh video are just something else.
thank you so much! And honestly that's a really nice way to be described I appreciate that man haha!
Wow, stunning video. Your passion is plain to see; must have taken a lot of dedication, so thank you. This video is a great service to an essential part of anime history and its legacy
And when the world needed him the most… he came back
Great video, was pleasantly surprised the see Monogatari and Girls' Last tour on the list. I especially love the latter, as it turns what would normally be a depressing environment into the worlds largest playground.
You really pulled the Mizuho theme from tales of Symphonia out of nowhere, it really took me off guard. One of my favorite games of all time
Tbh even though the movie was kinda awkward Ghibli's Ocean Waves really stuck with me, I can't stop watching it because it really captures how life doesn't really have this overarching plot or big ol character motives, people are awkward and it really shows it.
Bro low-key intimidated me with this video. Here I am, thinking I know anything about anything, and then here he comes knowing 1000x more (about anime at least)
Oh man. Horus Prince of the sun! What a movie!
I remember stumbling across it on tv when I was a kid, maybe 12 or so. It was around Christmas time so all my cousins were there too. I literally remember feeling spellbound and having a sudden moment of clarity at the advert break that all my siblings and cousins were STILL staring transfixed at the screen.
It was so immersive.
Great video, haven't got through all of it yet but look forward to it
Never heard of you before this video, but I love you.
Definitely sending this to a bunch of my friends, and subbing
I'm an illustrative artist, and I've always struggled with/disliked doing background work (still struggle with it a lot...), and this video was just.. beautifully done.
Might need to save the other half for late, cause it's 4 a.m. right now; but I really don't want to stop watching this.
i cant belive you used the city of tears soundtrack for angels egg im going to explode
i just remembered team cherry was inspired by angels egg from mossbag's video
Bro what a herculean task to make this incredible video. Kudos to you.
Yo wtf I didn’t think I’d see you here! Lol I used to listen to Rant Cafe before this took up all my time lol
