I started blue period 4 years ago when I had to choose what I wanted to pursue in life. I was afraid to be creative even though I loved doing nothing more. I was about to choose a boring path in my life that sounded the most "reasonable" but my creative side won when I read blue period. It literally changed everything about my life and my future and now I love everything I work on, all thanks to this one delinquent looking guy that wants to be an artist
i was just going trought every blue period video essey i saw to listen while doing my art school project. among the almost 20-30 videos i watched this was the best i couldnt believe how underrated it is
no way your channel only has 1.12k subs. I randomly chose this video to listen to while drawing in the background and when i opened chrome when this video ended to like it i was shocked to see this has only 48 likes i thought i was listening to a famous video essay youtuber because of the quality of your videos and how detailed it is. Your channel is insanely underrated
Thank you for making this so so sooo much. Loved the conclusion after watching several blue period videos... It's really up to interpretation ultimately. Truly one of the most creative pieces ever. Epic!
Great video. I don’t think I’ve ever related so closely to a character as I have Yatora, his uncertainty in exposing his own true self to others that even he doesn’t know, his burst of ego followed by his shame for that ego - especially later in the manga really resonated with me too. It’s a shame the anime wasn’t as good as the manga. Still good though
I’m like nine months late, but this is one of my favorite manga and I have been reading/rewatch through everything I can find about it - especially with the newest manga volume having just dropped in English. This is by far my favorite video essay about it.
Im a bit late, but I wanted to share. God, this anime literally changed me as an artist and changed my art. When I watched It, it hit me so much I just couldn’t stop from drawing. I was, unconsciously, doing the same thing as Yaguchi. Being so self centered in art that Nothing would work out to me. I stayed literal months staring at canvas, tablets, sheets, pencils wondering “What Am I even doing?” I wanted to give up art as a whole, not just drawing, everything. I was a full month without drawing anything, just living as if drawing was never a thing I did. I was depressed, I really was. I watched that anime, somehow made me even sadder. I didn’t do anything. I woke up, I ate, I watched something, I stayed in bed and, If I was up to, took a shower. Sometimes I remember looking at some old drawings and pointing out every mistake I did. Everything became worse in July. Middle of July, to be specific. I was sick everyday. I had fevers, I was tired all the time, I thought I had some illness or something. Then I watched another random episode of Blue Period again. I remember two episodes catching my attention, actually. Episode 10 and Episode 12. After that, after basically having some of the worst months of my life (I don’t really know if it was an art burnout, depression or something else) something happened. I was watching it, I felt inspired enough to take a shower and I finally looked at my iPad. An ideas exploded on my mind, it was like the universe was giving me a sign. I tried sleeping it off, but every time I closed my eyes I saw that drawing. I was searching for references to draw, yet nothing really helped me. Because nothing was like the image I had on my mind. I put episode 12 on TV and started drawing. And I rewatched that episode so many times, I think I have every single frame in my mind. I finished it. It’s not my favorite, yet I like it. I wouldn’t change anything about it. It was my first ever self portrait. And probably my last one. I looked at my stupid mirror so many times. I was angry because I always sucked at realism so did everything in a cartoonish anime style. I hated it, yet it was the only thing I could do After that drawing, I changed. My art-style changed, I could finally do something I was happy about. Art hurts, I think I know about it very much. Yet, it’s what makes me alive. It may sound like a stretch but maybe, just maybe. If I hadn’t ever picked up a pen again…. What would I be doing? Would I even be alive? Probably not. And I’m glad I am drawing. I’m slowly doing better. My hygiene is back, I am doing things I enjoy, and less and less rotting in bed and feeling sad. And every now and then I put on Blue Period on while I draw. It makes me see I grew. It makes me value the pain that art makes me feel. :)
THIS IS SO UNDERRATED??? I was 100% expecting this easily to be a 200-300k viewed video with a lot of community support, but man it stunned me because this is such a good essay and depiction of the relationships and evolvement of the characters and art in blue period. Totally helped me self reflect a bit too. Honestly one of the best anime video essays I’ve watched for sure, and im so glad the algorithm pushed it to me. Cant wait for even more cool stuff from you, even if it isn’t blue period related 🔥 keep up the awesome stuff!!!
this is an incredible video - blue period means so much to me as an artist who spent so much of their life feeling lost and i can really feel the passion and effort and care u put into making this video. thank u for ur hard work!
I’M SO MAD RUclips DELETED MY COMMENTS TWICE, so here’s a summary of the multiple (now deleted) comments I tried to make: 1) Awesome video, great analysis, super relatable (good editing!) 2) Wish there was a discussion of Hashida, as his time as an art teacher covers a specific but nonetheless devastating experience. That is, loving art (but this is applicable to anything), but growing feelings of grief, self-hatred, and uselessness when trying it yourself. The kind of brilliance you always revere but can never achieve for yourself, and the torture surrounding that.
I relate to blue period the journey of passionate constantly dealing self doubt self destructive of views of myself. Facing delusions that same I am chris chan or worst too autistic to be art however despite this blue period remind me I am noth of these things but my own self I should be self centered have fun with my journey. That why I realized deep loved of cutenesses I should embrace the love thing I done for my art sure its oc art not that special what is truly that special in life.

Yeah, it's unfortunate how the anime turned out, but I am thankful I watched it since it's how I got into the series.

i was watching and thinking "oh, this guy must be a badass youtuber with giga millions subscribers" but no, your time will come man, great video

Dude i’m rooting for you. Massive respect
I didn’t realize there was more of it after the anime ended, will come back and watch this video in full after I read it :D

Great video thx for making it 🙏
You using Celeste OST for Yuka made me audibly gasp. Oh well...
Is that a disrespectful choice? I mainly chose it because it had the right vibes for the section.
@@LucOfLegends It's an amazing choice, so amazing I was surprised :D Good video.

Yo great video
