The ending of Toradora. As an avid Shonen anime watcher then, I was just flabbergasted as I watched a show so short and sweet that I had to rewatch, again, and again and again. Especially the start and finish, the first words spoken by our titular protagonists, to the ending monologues of said protagonists, showing us that THAT(the show) was how they fell for each other. I have strived myself to get me my own happy "ending", and I'm glad to say that I have it(atleast the start of it). Back to the topic however, it read like a good poem, a good "hero's journey", and I still remember it fondly to this day. People may scoff at Taiga, but I will always remember Toradora as one of ny formative shows.
The game "The World Ends with You". As an impressionable, reclusive teenager at the time, the main theme of the whole game was like a wake up call to change. Specifically, I'll never forget when Neku was told the namesake line: "The world ends with you. If you want to enjoy life, expand your world. You gotta push your horizons as far as they'll go." Your world (re:everyone's world) is limited by the scope of their own world. There's only so much you can experience on your own. But by interacting, connecting, and sometimes clashing with other people's "worlds", that's how you can learn, grow, and live every moment to the fullest. I've never forgotten this, and it fundamentally changed the way I approached life and new experiences afterwards.
I always think that people never put enough time into internalizing the things they love, hate or why they think the way they do. Our experiences are inherently personal, and as such we each view things from an unique lens. It's always nice to be able to listen to someone and view things from their perspective for a change. Wonderful video.
I remember I basically binged ID:INVADED and realised I needed to watch it slower to fully appreciate it. I think this finally convinced me to go back. Love your stuff.
I started watching it on the back of this video, only watched three episodes so far but loving it. Thank you Replay Value! Also agree with his comments about the UBW ending.
I never really noticed the last shot of Unlimited Blade Works. Never gave it much thought beyond how beautiful it looked and the fact that it went on for longer than I thought. But thank you. That was lovely.
Return of the King. Happy to see another video. Glad that someone is talking about ID: Invaded. Definitely feel it was overlooked and mostly forgotten. Deserves more recognition.
We're so back LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOO Loved seeing Hollow Knight in here, takes me back to the times where I used to pester you about playing it so you could talk about it. Hadn't played it in a few years, so I decided to play through it again this summer just to remind myself of why it's one of my all time favourites. It deeply resonated with me in many ways, and I think you perfectly described what makes the City of Tears so special. Just remembering the moment where you sit on the bench next to Quirrel gets me all emotional. It truly is the prime example of how the game invites you to take a moment to breathe and take in the atmosphere, just relax and enjoy the moment before moving forward. Hell, that part of the game even resonated with me so much I got the knight on a bench tattooed on my arm now. For me it is a reminder both of one of my favourite pieces of media, but also to enjoy the moment I'm at in life. Calling the music for the City of Tears "the crown jewel of the entire soundtrack" is very fair indeed. However, I would argue there's one more track that would be deserving of that title. For me that track is Pure Vessel. Since you get into the fight knowing all of the story and lore around the titular character it's just all so heart breaking seeing how they were at their prime. The music is just so eerily calm for such a big battle, it truly emphasises the tragedy in a way which cuts into my soul.
When you started talking about ID Invaded I actually expected you to talk about the scene with the detective's family near the end, but I can understand why you chose the moment you did
That "goodbye" scene destroyed me and it is one of Kenjiro Tsuda's best VA performances ever. I'd even call it one of the most powerful VA scenes in all of anime.
This video was so well framed that I paused at the start and went and watched the first 6 episodes of Id: Invaded to get the context and then came back to hear the breakdown. Great video.
Pulling up "Invisible Cities" was not something I expected from such a video. I had to read that for an Honors course about Italian literature/art. Loved that book. Moments that I can't stop thinking about include the endings to both Outer Wilds (as well as a conversation where an NPC considers the player a friend) and Tears of the Kingdom. I'm sure there are many others, but after a long day of work, I can only come up with those three.
I'm so grateful to you for making this video. ID: Invaded has been up there as one of my all time favorites from my first watch, UBW has made me act more passionate than I ever thought I could about a story. Eternal Rail and UBW's epilogue had always been very very impactful scenes to me and you presented that impact in such a beautiful manner that I can't do anything but feel thankful to you.
I saw ID:Invaded on the thumbnail and I had to come in and see if anyone else appreciated it as much as I did. I STILL WANT THE INSERT SONG AS A SINGLE
Man, sometimes I wish I could overthink things this much. I feel like I just consume media now to satisfy my dopamine starved brain, never really taking note of the stories they tell.
I think as we experience more media, having something be memorable becomes more important than it even being worth our time, since it's not like that will affect how much we watch/play/read. Ironically, it's not always easy to pinpoint these "I'm never going to forget this moment" moments, but yeah and whatever I can't think of a recent example lol come back to me on that one.
Hey Replay, I've got to eat my words on this one! I was totally convinced you wouldn't be able to drop a new video before 8/15, but man, you proved me wrong big time! You're the true "schmoat" (seriously, that word just fits perfectly) when it comes to surprising your viewers. Your latest video had me hooked from start to finish, and I can't believe how you managed to create such awesome content in such a short time. Keep rocking those videos and proving us doubters oh so delightfully wrong! Can't wait to see what you come up with next! 🙌🎉 (fr tho great vid)
I adore the track 'Will' that closes out the final episode of UBW. Hideyuki Fukasawa's soundtrack seems to get frustratingly dismissed as the "Forgettable" Fate soundtrack which feels so weird to me when there are tracks as beautiful as this one.
Yo, he talked about ID Invaded again. Hype. Also read the extra chapter as well, very interesting and a bit too much science for normal people. Spoiler, there are 3 brilliant detectives in it, quite interesting watchim 3 perspectives
Here are some moments stuck in my head if anyone is curious (spoilers) Touch: the scene of Tatsuya and Minami reminiscing about Kazuya near the river at sunset. Houseki no Kuni: Sensei’s final scene with Shiro. Ashita no Joe: the iconic final shot. Gintama: a very specific shot of Okita during his sister’s death. After listening to his sister reflect before she dies, the scene hard cuts to Okita’s face with his eyes incredibly wide. It’s already very uncharacteristic of him to make such a face, but I always really liked that we don’t actually see his eyes gradually get wider, instead we are hit like a truck when we suddenly see his reaction to his sister’s final words. Space Dandy: the crew’s makeshift funeral for the dog Laika. Specifically hearing the narrator himself almost break into tears in the dub. Also I think of the Viva All scene constantly, but mostly because I always have that song stuck in my head lol Honey and clover: Takemoto chasing the midnight train after he remembers a conversation he had with his father about said train. Also specifically in the manga, the shot of Morita’s brother breaking down after they get their revenge FMA 2003: almost everything from episode 25. Also the fight with greed is really cool. Code geass: the reaction shots during the stabbing scene in the last episode. Specially the shot of Arthur; I always loved that it lasted the longest. Bleach: opening 13. I think about it probably every day lol. Shoutouts to openings 1 and 6 tho. After the Rain: one of the very first shots that shows that one of the side characters is listening to the Aimer song “Ref:rain”. I felt a deep connection to that character ever since Kodocha: the scene of Sana telling her birth mother that they will never have a relationship. Also the scene of Take telling Sana all of his regrets on the train. Haven’t you heard, I’m sakamoto: Sakamoto’s goodbye in the last episode. H2: the semi-bully and butt-of-most-jokes Kine finally getting a chance to prove himself by pitching in a game during the Koushien and breaking down crying when he succeeds. I can think of more but I think I’ll stop there lmao. H2, Gintama, and Space Dandy are probably the ones I think about the most.
Didn't even mention Quirrel's story. When you meet him on the bench when you first enter the City of Tears he hasn't gotten back his memory yet, so he marvels at the city with the player, wondering where all the rain is coming from since they are underground. Then later if you progress his quest to the end, you can find him at the blue lake above, contempt with his role in this larger story, just happy to have found the source of the rain, now he can die in peace. City of Tears is maybe the single best location I have ever visited in a video game, what an incredible atmosphere.
Replay actually keeping his word about an upload? I totally believed in you this entire time! I guess Hollow Knight is going on my backlog of games now.
After watching this video, I think the best example of a moment like this that I've experienced occurs in chapter 27, Chasm Duty, of the book The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson. The main character, Kaladin, picks up a spear for the first time in a long time, and instinctively does a routine with it. I think that single moment is the most immersed I've ever been in a book, though unlike your beautiful video I couldn''t quite say why.
Brilliant video. Thought I would've learned by now to not watch videos about good media I haven't experienced yet. Now I'm left wondering how that moment from ID:Invaded would have impacted me had I not watched this.
I feel like there doesn't go enough credit into how amazing Fate Zero and UBW flow into each other and the story that they tell. The Fate series is often reduced to fanservice, gacha and the thing that stops Ufotable from pumping out even more Demon Slayer. But if you only look at the Ufotable projects and cut it off from Grand Order and Apocrypha and all that other stuff, it's such a perfect package of storytelling, which also happens to look better than 99% of shows releasing today (it's still amazing to me that Zero came out in the early 2010s like what)
Speaking of ID. Narihisago dub actor Jessie James Grelle coaxing another prisoner to commit suicide from behind bars is my "I will think about this forever" moment.
Please I'm begging you, bring back Operation;Yggdrasil, It was really amazing and informative. It was certainly one of the best series that discuss direction, writing, and cinematography, and I learnt so many wonderful things from it . Your videos are the best!
Continuing on from UBW closing scene, as someone who has consumed the other TYPEMOON works, the Holy Grail War, even though being immensely significant to the setting, its just another mundane immensely significant event in the Nasuverse where it is filled with immensely significant events. We see the events of Mahou Tsukai no Yoru (movie due out in winter 2023), of a girl obtaining and utilizing the 5th True Magic and we got Tsukihime where a boy with impossible eyes helps an impossible entity to save a city. These stories have grand people, grand creatures, grand powers, and are grand events, they dont affect the greater over reaching narrative of the Nasuverse, they do not effect the other stories or events of the other stories. They are effectively mundne. Then theres all the events of FGO and I am not going to touch that mess.
The Id Invaded part is not one of my favorites, but I do love the contradiction of it being a train that repeatedly kills her mother at the same time it's preventing the moment she's told of it.
I also reminisce about ID:Invaded, it wasn't a masterpiece, but the concepts in that show were so interesting i really miss it and keep it in a "hidden gem" category
This could be a nice series. I have some momments like that. Makima's hand squishy momment in chainsaw man is one of the more recent. Faputa's Speech in made in abyss the golden city. Monogatari series secon season, shinobu and araragi setting off fireworks in the destroyed world they end up after messing up the timelines. Alexdander the Great, aka Iskander, showing that his real noble phantams was the friends he made along way, revealing his trump card to flex/prove to Saber and Gilgames that he is the better king.
Speaking of the Monogatari series, for me, there is also the moment in Hanamonogatari when Kanbaru just starts running at night, after having learned about what happened to Numachi Rouka, and she just runs, and runs, until she collapses. One of the rare moments in the series without any form of dialogue, monologue or internal thoughts, nor a fight. Just Kanbaru running, breathing, exhausting herself under the stars. Until she just physically can't anymore, trips in a moment of weakness, and falls. There's emotional weight to the scene, but because of the music and the direction, it's also just... contemplative. Hanamonogatari isn't my favorite Monogatari, but this scene specifically really elevates it in my book.
I have yet to watch ID: Invaded or play Hollow Knight, so I skipped to the UBW part. I don't remember that final shot being so long. I can't tell if it's because it has been so long since I've watched UBW and I just forgot about it, or if it worked so well with the epilogue that I didn't even register it in the moment.
I wish I could forget about the ID:Invaded scene, it fucks me up when I think about it. But in reality (and sincerity) even though I wouldn't say I love any of the three stories featured here (strong like is more apt) I think these moments are incredibly special and I would hate to lose a part of myself because I do think about them when I am creating my own works.
@@ReplayValue i was quoting your lie in april. It centrally touched on the same idea, can you ever really leave behind the things that define you - artistic genius only resonates this hard when they touch on something that defines us.The moment that's always stuck with me was the argument between subaru and rem in RE:zero, its first season, episode 18. I don't think i've ever heard a more honest confession from an author in my life. I remember where I was when i heard it and looking out the window afterwards until it was dark out. I'll also never forget the image of the credits rolling over subaru's death at the end of episode 15, absolutely sublime; the contrast between aesthetic despair that marks subaru's decline and subaru coming clean about his manic delusion is just genius. I think this is the real reason I watch these shows, I love those moments when a skillful writer displays their talents and showcases real truth in a medium people often write off.
Moments I’ll always remember as in stories on the news like Hurricane Katrina,2008 yeah just the entire year yeah it’s not a moment but we had the housing market crash and the first black President elected. Plus I was seven back then and dealt with a ton of fear that Obama was going to turn the USA into a communist state thanks to my parents telling me that among other people. I have many more as well but this comment is getting pretty long.
Hope you all enjoy the new video. Any moments stuck in your head that you can't stop thinking about? Lemme know so we can commiserate together.
The ending of Toradora. As an avid Shonen anime watcher then, I was just flabbergasted as I watched a show so short and sweet that I had to rewatch, again, and again and again.

The ending of Chapter 5 of Xenoblade Chronicles 3.
If you know, you know.
The game "The World Ends with You".
As an impressionable, reclusive teenager at the time, the main theme of the whole game was like a wake up call to change.
Specifically, I'll never forget when Neku was told the namesake line: "The world ends with you. If you want to enjoy life, expand your world. You gotta push your horizons as far as they'll go."

But by interacting, connecting, and sometimes clashing with other people's "worlds", that's how you can learn, grow, and live every moment to the fullest.
I've never forgotten this, and it fundamentally changed the way I approached life and new experiences afterwards.
I think the monologue in the Haruhi movie legit hard re-wired my brain and made me become a different person.
because you mentioned fate I'll go with Iskandar's speech to Arthur and Gilgamesh ine Fate Zero
I always think that people never put enough time into internalizing the things they love, hate or why they think the way they do. Our experiences are inherently personal, and as such we each view things from an unique lens. It's always nice to be able to listen to someone and view things from their perspective for a change. Wonderful video.
Wonderful comment! I was going to spend my 2 cents in a comment, but you said it better than I could have! Agree and seconded!
My thoughts exactly! I think it's wonderful to look at things through all the lenses there are.
I remember I basically binged ID:INVADED and realised I needed to watch it slower to fully appreciate it. I think this finally convinced me to go back. Love your stuff.
Replay Value I think you just may have convinced me to give ID:Invaded a watch
Same
The ending song slaps almost as hard as the "The Challenger"
I started watching it on the back of this video, only watched three episodes so far but loving it. Thank you Replay Value! Also agree with his comments about the UBW ending.
please do, it's great. Has some tearjerker moments aswell
If you like *ID: Invaded,* _you'll love_ *AI: The Somnium Files*
This is a disgustingly good video and concept. I hope it blows up. Deserves all the attention it'll get.
Replay is the best, I'm sorry for not believing, this is the best video you've ever made
THE BET HAS BEEN MADE GOOD.
I never really noticed the last shot of Unlimited Blade Works. Never gave it much thought beyond how beautiful it looked and the fact that it went on for longer than I thought. But thank you. That was lovely.
I am STILL not ok with what happened to Illya in UBW.

Glad to see Hollow Knight still appearing in videos like this. That was nice.
Guess I should move Invaded higher up my list :")
já estava com saudade de assistir um vídeo teu. Eu também gosto do final de fate/UBW.
Giving my thanks to Lemony Snickett for understanding what a triptych was before clicking on this video
Anyways great stuff as always Mr Value
Gonna have to eventually make the sequel to this video featuring the Great Unknown honestly.
Here are some moments stuck in my head if anyone is curious (spoilers)
Touch: the scene of Tatsuya and Minami reminiscing about Kazuya near the river at sunset.
Houseki no Kuni: Sensei’s final scene with Shiro.
Ashita no Joe: the iconic final shot.
Gintama: a very specific shot of Okita during his sister’s death. After listening to his sister reflect before she dies, the scene hard cuts to Okita’s face with his eyes incredibly wide.

Kodocha: the scene of Sana telling her birth mother that they will never have a relationship. Also the scene of Take telling Sana all of his regrets on the train.
Haven’t you heard, I’m sakamoto: Sakamoto’s goodbye in the last episode.
H2: the semi-bully and butt-of-most-jokes Kine finally getting a chance to prove himself by pitching in a game during the Koushien and breaking down crying when he succeeds.
I can think of more but I think I’ll stop there lmao. H2, Gintama, and Space Dandy are probably the ones I think about the most.

I have yet to watch ID: Invaded or play Hollow Knight, so I skipped to the UBW part. I don't remember that final shot being so long. I can't tell if it's because it has been so long since I've watched UBW and I just forgot about it, or if it worked so well with the epilogue that I didn't even register it in the moment.
WE MADE IT CHAT. WATCHING RAVENOUSLY RIGHT NOW
great video, loved it
YEEAAAHHH ID:INVADED MENTION
do you think you can just forget?
I wish I could forget about the ID:Invaded scene, it fucks me up when I think about it. But in reality (and sincerity) even though I wouldn't say I love any of the three stories featured here (strong like is more apt) I think these moments are incredibly special and I would hate to lose a part of myself because I do think about them when I am creating my own works.
@@ReplayValue i was quoting your lie in april. It centrally touched on the same idea, can you ever really leave behind the things that define you - artistic genius only resonates this hard when they touch on something that defines us.The moment that's always stuck with me was the argument between subaru and rem in RE:zero, its first season, episode 18. I don't think i've ever heard a more honest confession from an author in my life. I remember where I was when i heard it and looking out the window afterwards until it was dark out. I'll also never forget the image of the credits rolling over subaru's death at the end of episode 15, absolutely sublime; the contrast between aesthetic despair that marks subaru's decline and subaru coming clean about his manic delusion is just genius. I think this is the real reason I watch these shows, I love those moments when a skillful writer displays their talents and showcases real truth in a medium people often write off.
Moments I’ll always remember as in stories on the news like Hurricane Katrina,2008 yeah just the entire year yeah it’s not a moment but we had the housing market crash and the first black President elected. Plus I was seven back then and dealt with a ton of fear that Obama was going to turn the USA into a communist state thanks to my parents telling me that among other people. I have many more as well but this comment is getting pretty long.
what a epic ~ :)
First
I kinda hate ubw with a passion, let's see if you can convince me otherwise..
Replay is the best, I'm sorry for not believing, this is the best video you've ever made
THE BET HAS BEEN MADE GOOD.
