It is because it came from someone who was real. They were a person just like all of us. You can quite literally see this in their instagram where they draw out their daily life. Like how they own horses. They are just a average person who made a show with an actual story.
I love how ambiguous this ending is in terms of the mood. Sure the upbeat music and bright sunny day make it seem optimistic but we know Bojack is unfulfilled and lonely here. His award doesn’t mean much to him and not only is he alone at the specific place he promised to celebrate with his friend one day, he is the only one alone. Despite that though, maybe there’s hope the “night sky is changing over” right before the credits hit.
It's not ambiguous at all. The song is not upbeat either. The song is about distance in a relationship with someone you care about or love. The 'bright sunny day' further enhances the point of this shot; Bojack is alone. He is incapable of sustaining relationships with those close to him without hurting them, and the song choice, coupled with the fact that this is the spot where Herb and him promised to return to after their fame, ultimately adds to his feeling of loneliness in this season 1 finale. Not ambiguous in the slightest. Don't know where you got that.
@nitewing1898 The song is not about that at all. "Although I do imagine that this would be an okay song to make out to, all I intended was to write something sweet that reminded the listener of a time before complicated relationships, drama and heartbreak. I was writing about my youth, a time when we got closer by linking arms and walking down our school hallway, or talked all night on the telephone about every thought or experience we'd ever had. It wasn't necessarily even about hooking up or admitting your feelings back then. In fact, that rarely happened. It was the anticipation of something maybe happening that was truly exciting and satisfying. We were perpetually getting closer, yet we rarely got physical with one another, if ever. These relationships existed in a state of sexual and physical ambiguity." The song, ultimately, is about the time before relationships were so overly complicated. For Bojack it's the same, his relationship with Herb was arguably the last uncomplicated friendship he had, until he threw it away.
Strange the difference music can make. I see a lot of people saying this scene is optimistic. I disagree, but I can see why. Without the music I don't think anyone would.
It is not optimistic!!! Rewatch the secretariat's audition... And the fact that in the same chapter they show the suicide at the bridge... That's too much, man! Bojack's essence...
I think the song is so upbeat because it *should* be a happy ending for Bojack, but to me that makes it sadder because we as viewers know it’s unfulfilling for him
Am I the only one that’s here because I can’t get enough of this ending?! The song choice and the way it pans out then goes to black on the drop just hits so well. Especially when you’ve seen the other seasons and just know all the shit that happens. It’s just really nice
I know everyone thinks this scene is weirdly optimistic compared to the rest of the series but think of it. Bojack just stares off in to the distance when he finally gets what he has been dreaming of. This fits into one of the main themes of this show. "What is success?" I mean it could be considered optimistic but maybe the ending scene was like that because if the series was cancelled out of nowhere or something it could be considered an ending.
Definitely. This ending wrapped up the show with a nice little bow but did leave opportunity for a continuation. Also, this ending with the cheery music and gratuitous shot of the planetarium is one of the only happy moments in the show.
I liked that this ending felt somewhat optimistic. The next two seasons were just so depressing with no hope. It's like happiness is completely unachievable for some people and that's the worst thing I've ever realised.
Adam McKibben and considering he's up there alone amongst couples with this song playing. Idk if the writers meant for us to dig a little deeper into that ending but that was the first thing I noticed
@@yungt7351 Yo I know this is an old comment but if you like taking lsd and like watching bojack you GOTTA watch it while tripping. I've watched the last 4 episodes of season 3 and the last 3 of season 6 while tripping and IT IS INSANE. The voice acting feels so real and the emotions are crazy. You pick up on so much more stuff and you really understand how the characters feel in those scenes. Also I feel like there is some hidden message you pick up on only while tripping. Me and another friend made these crazy ass observations and theories while watching it while tripping alone, and we told each other our things and it was the exact same. The writers somehow put this secret underlying message in the show you can only notice while tripping. If you watch the last three of episodes of season 6 you have a REALLY high chance of having an ego death btw. If you want an ego death, these last episodes will make you feel crazy, in a good way. It made me trip the hardest I ever have in my entire life and now I like watching an episode of Bojack for most of my trips. The superb voice acting, the animation, the attention to detail, and all the subliminal messages really make the show PERFECT for tripping.
Mr. Mommy ill make sure to give it a try, maybe even tonight if i decide to drop 20 benadryl. i have atleast 2 episodes i want to watch while tripping, “downer ending” and “the view from halfway down”. thanks for the insight haha
Came back after watching the series finale to reminisce about all the great music choices this show made. Choices in general but that’d be too much to write about :/
For a moment the scene is that bojack is like everyone else, with someone. But its only a random guy that leaves him alone after he says “you’re my hero”. And the birds coming together make you think he really is the only one alone
This ending makes you resonate with feelings you can't fathom, while the song's question is contrasted and therefore shut down by the camera panning out, to scope the whole thing.
Going back and rewatching this show again for the 3rd time and I forgot how hard the end of season 1 hits. I don't know how they do it, but this cartoon makes me feel intense emotions
This scene is a pure mastepice it shows that even if he has succeeded in his professional life like being the hero of 90s and getting an award for his book getting casted as secreterait he is still sad and depressed coz his personal life is majorly distorted
When you think about it, this could of doubled as a series finale. I wonder if they wrote it that way in case it got canceled after 1 season. The Wild Horses montage strongly supports this theory.
i like how he was called a "hero" and he was conflicted because back in episode 1 he said "the word 'hero' is thrown around lightly that it has lost its meaning" like when mr peanutbutter got his head stuck on a bucket and a random woman helped her and he called her a hero
just finished the S1 I liked how the ending was a bit bitter sweet like Bojack got what he always wanted but now what? like always he is alone that was his purpose for living but now he is purposeless that's worse than that
Наука
Literally everyone there surrounding Bojack has someone. All couples. But Bojack, who promised to come back to that spot with Herb, is all alone.
Nice observation, add more meaning to the scene. Sometimes I feel like that when I'm out by myself.
what s with the feels man... thanks anyhoo
Damn, didn't pick up on that first time I saw it. Nice spot.
Feels bad man
He has his award but it doesnt really mean anything
He never hi-fived Herb :(
wow i thought it was just a dramatic scene. i just now realized thats the place where herb said they'll go back to
Sir Bobachess@ he could of we may just never know
That's become one of my favorite songs--Bojack has had some really solid song choices.
Let my blood flow, make my blood flow through you man.

'After closing credits'
Me:.....damn......
But also you: Ha ha, funny boxer vs raptor
For real,I thought it was going to be your typical “Slice and life+Comedy” cartoon but it’s not that
Because it’s *much more better* than that

Couldn’t agree more 👍
Yup. Exactly. I pop back every once in a while. The moment you know the show is more than you might have thought.
Same. Calming.

After season 3, anything near the planetarium doesn't feel optimistic anymore 😄 😭
Adam McKibben and considering he's up there alone amongst couples with this song playing. Idk if the writers meant for us to dig a little deeper into that ending but that was the first thing I noticed
you're a top lad... anyone tell ya that
It's the planetarium. This is THE LAST TIME WE EVER SEE THE FUCKING PLANETARIUM, NO ALTERNATIVE TO THIS EVER HAPPENED!! T_T
was so surprised to hear this as the ending song... like i would never think this fits but IT DOES
0:14 Oof... This poor kid has no idea about what's coming in season 6...
Four years later and this scene still makes me overwhelmingly emotional.
Who else wishes they could watch this show for the first time again?
Tegan and Sara was an awesome choice!
Man, I watched season 1 while high on shrooms...the kind of feeling I get when i watch this now...gah...
What's the feeling?
Holy shit man haha. I’ve always wanted to take lsd and watch this show.
@@yungt7351 Yo I know this is an old comment but if you like taking lsd and like watching bojack you GOTTA watch it while tripping.

Came back after watching the series finale to reminisce about all the great music choices this show made. Choices in general but that’d be too much to write about :/
Backing you up!
This show does so good with it's music choices
The lesbian of the soundtrack department sure has some good taste!
For a moment the scene is that bojack is like everyone else, with someone. But its only a random guy that leaves him alone after he says “you’re my hero”. And the birds coming together make you think he really is the only one alone
When I heard the ending song "Closer" by Tegan and Sara, I thought it was a mid 1980s song... little did I know....
Tegan and Sara are one my favourite artists so I totally freaked out with this scene
The moment I realized I might have accidentally stumbled across a masterpiece…
This ending makes you resonate with feelings you can't fathom, while the song's question is contrasted and therefore shut down by the camera panning out, to scope the whole thing.
Imagine if the series ended with ONE season.
At 0:03, if you listen carefully, you can hear someone says "Mexico". Now that's foreshadowing
It's a great ending cuz it's the beginning of him trying to change
i think this is my favorite moment in the whole season
Just finished rewatching Season 1. It started off average, but this moment truly solidified BoJack as a legendary show🖤
At that moment we all knew "THIS SHOW FUCKING RULES"
Even though season 1 didn't start of the best the ending really speaks to me for some reason.
And so it begins...
Going back and rewatching this show again for the 3rd time and I forgot how hard the end of season 1 hits. I don't know how they do it, but this cartoon makes me feel intense emotions
This scene kills me.😭😭😭
i just finished season 1 and this part is beautiful, also made me listen to closer :’)
That girl running laughs like harper
Any theories? ;)
Kenny Cordova reincarnation
It's probably just Kristen Schaal again.
This might sound lazy of me but it could just be a reused voice line.
After finishing season 6 this is nostalgic now
Im crazy because i cried
We're all crazy man
Such a beautiful scene.
Ugh I love this show sm
i miss Sarah Lynn
Her`s dead!!! o MY f*kyng
Me too kid...me too...
Might watch Bojack Horseman because of Closer 🤭
That kid probably hates bojack now since all that about Sarah Lynn came out
Can we just... Please... Can we just stop it here...? I... I don't want the rest... It hurts too much.
Is she really sorry? Can't help but notice her apology was really muttered.
Ironically optimistic ending, in comparisson with the rest of ending season scenes of the show which showed bojack even more f%$· every time
Never thought lesbian music would make me emotional :'(
I watched the ending again, but last night it hit me the hardest.
The birds in the background that fly out right before the screen turns black are the only animals in the show that aren't human sized
This scene is a pure mastepice it shows that even if he has succeeded in his professional life like being the hero of 90s and getting an award for his book getting casted as secreterait he is still sad and depressed coz his personal life is majorly distorted
This hit hard.

God I wanted BoJack to end well because if he could become happy so could I.
When you realise that a show is art
return of the mack
Well that was depressing
🤙 Determinism is Freedom 🤙 🤙
just finished the S1 I liked how the ending was a bit bitter sweet like Bojack got what he always wanted but now what? like always he is alone that was his purpose for living but now he is purposeless that's worse than that
Anyone please help me with the title of the credits song 🙏
read the description
0:46 - 0:49
wise owl
Isn't this the place where Sarah Lynn died?
I see people talking about how this scene is optimistic? You don't understand this show.
