  • Lightening up slightly after last week, this video dealss with my experience emotionally when watching FLCL, and the subversion to my expectations I was given, because the show was widely advertised to me as a dumb cool show, when the show had a lot more heart and depth than I could have imagined.

    I am embarrassed to admit, the first time I got someone to buy me a pack of cigarettes I wrote "never knows best" on every single one in black micron pen.
    UHHHHG...

      I did the same when I bought my first pack. It was like 10 years ago. I think everyone who is a fan of Flcl did that at one point. What would suck is accidentally puncturing the cigarette if you bore down too hard lol.

    FLCL reminds me of a time in my own life when I was waking up to the realization I was a lesbian and I met this really cool older girl who showed me so much. Not just in terms of sex but personal freedoms. I came from overprotective parents and it was with her i got the chance to be out after dark, and feel like I was really making a life.
    And then she was gone. One day I went to her apartment on my bike and she was gone. The apartment was empty, i had just been there the day before but in a single night she left and I never saw her again.
    It's a complicated mix of emotions for me surrounding her and those few weeks of my life. I'm 40 now and I still think about her when I watch this show.

      Fr. I think it's because the show acted like it was leading up to a positive, romantic ending the entire time, but as the viewer you can tell from the start that it's not possible, because if it happened it'd be pedophelic and illegal, and because you learn by the end that she never wanted him anyways, and then it ended with both girls leaving him, having finally accepted that he's not what they really want, and him being left with only Haruko's guitar. It's very obviously not even sweet, but rather a bitter ending that you know is the best possible outcome, due to it spawning from a completely unfortunate situation.

    She treated and saw him as an adult, saw him mature, but in the end she knew that he was still "just a kid" and the only way they can really grow is if they went there separate ways. Its about breaking the cycle of codependency and the desire to fill the void we all have inside with what we think will make us complete. In the end she takes his guitar and leaves hers with him. they each have a part of each other. It kind of leaves off as a "I might be back but dont put your life on hold for me" kind of feeling for me personally.

    The thing that I think (for me anyway) have made your recent videos go from good to exceptional is how you go about providing context. I haven't watched a lot of the anime discussed, but I still get a fair idea of what the anime is about, or at least enough about the parts you're talking about to understand why it's so significant to you. It's especially evident in this video. You set up context for the two characters and tell their story in a way that's easily understandable for someone who hasn't seen the anime, but is still recognizable for those who have.

    • @habitablefiction7090
      @habitablefiction7090 6 лет назад +3

      I had to think about that question a bit as I don't really have a favored genre. I only really "got into" anime about a year and a half ago. I've always dreamed big and media (in general, but also social media, TV shows, movies, or even anime) was something that screams at me as dangerous to those dreams. As a distraction that would trap me in an endless hole of consumption with no creation. As a result, I spend way more time paying attention to what other people have to say about an aniime before I ever even think to watch it. If it's something I think will impact me strongly, then I'll watch regardless of the genre.
      Genres that tend to impact me strongly would probably fall into more drama/romance or the more serious side of fantasy where there's a lot more to the story than what first meets the eye. Fantasy tends to offer up a subtlety that encourages rewatching several times and leaves room for me to reflect upon myself. The fascination that comes with the understanding of how much went into creating that subtlety is inspiring and motivating to work towards my own dreams. Something much more rewarding in contrast with simply watching through it once and having no desire to get anything more out of the story.

    I always knew I liked this anime because of the underlying character development, especially the scene where Naota and Haruko eat ramen together (and she tells him how fun it is to eat bad ramen), and the shift in their relationship after sleeping together on the park bench. If you assume that next shot of them in the morning is to indicate they had been physically intimate, and watch how Naota's attitude changes, the show changes too. Secondarily, I suggest reading the manga, it has a wealth of differences and I prefer the end in it to the end in the show. Last but not least, I never realized that this was allegorical for my experiences in youth desperately seeking intimacy at any cost, thanks for this commentary man. I always knew I liked it for something beyond the visuals, and now I can see why. Keep up the good work.

    I honestly love this analysis.
    I always thought the reason Haruko left was because she couldn't deal with her feelings. Haruko, from what I've seen, has a very flawed view of sex. She wants the pleasure without the intimacy. When she realizes that noatas feelings for her are real. She leaves because she doesn't know how to deal with it. She doesn't want to be responsible for hurting him anymore. At least, that's what I think.

    • @HidinginPublic
      @HidinginPublic  6 лет назад +53

      I can see that. Her being unable to properly confront intimacy leadin her to doing the more manipulative things she does to put distance and eventuall leave. Glad you enjoyed!

    • @greenstuff3706
      @greenstuff3706 5 лет назад +25

      Edgy The Hedgy Well, you do get the feeling throughout FLCL that Haruko doesn’t want to be tied down by personal attachment. She only does everything she does in the series for herself, even after she realizes that she cares about Naota, despite initially entering his life only use him to get to Atomsk. I like to think that Haruko tries so hard to obtain Atomsk’s power is because she sees it as the ultimate form of freedom. If you had the ability to create inter-dimensional portals that reached through the universe and pulled out objects of any shape, size, and amount, who’d be able to stop you except for Medical Mechanica? Who would be able to bring you down, or tell you what to do?

  • @Eli1234gordon
    @Eli1234gordon 4 года назад +2

    You bring meaning to my feelings of this show. I relate to this as I grow to 20 years old. Who is the receiver of my affection? Or is it my selfishness that wants and craves for that intimacy? I can never tell. Deep inside I try to convince that I am above saints and judge others accordingly. I know that is toxic but then again what makes me who I am? This show shed some light into the nuances of growing up. I try to be more truthful to myself and expressing what I want to express the most. Love for music is what I came to. I didn’t need to satisfy superficial cravings because I understood me. But, what do I know? I’m just a kid...at heart.

    From 2:29 - 9:00 spoke highly to me. Currently going through a very similar but obviously not exactly situation with my ex. Known her for 12 years. She was off and on using drugs. When my mom passed 6 months ago we hit it off shortly after the funeral. Spent every night at her house since my moms passing which was a huge codependency mistake but it felt good she wanted me there.Seen the red flags but for the most part I accepted them due to she wasn't using anymore. In early January she began to have problems at work and money problems...her diagnosed depression was coming on and she literally said "this is her life and there's nothing I can do to help". Shortly a week later she broke up with me. My sister who knows her like the back of her hand said she never wanted me to see her at her worst and she more than likely is using again and pushed me out the picture before I could catch on. I found this video a while back but purely due to being a fan of flcl. Now it hits home uncomfortably. Ty uploader

    Hey man, first time on your channel. This vid randomly popped up on my home page and I’m so happy I decided to watch. What I think is so interesting about flcl is that the relationship I have with the show is exactly like the themes in the show you are talking about. Every time I rewatch it or think deeply about it I get a tightness of chest as well as a swelling of heart, which seems contradictory. I am drawn to it even though I know it makes me feel uncomfortable, just like Naota.
    If you haven’t watched Gurren Lagann I strongly suggest you do. These are my two favorite animes and I didn’t realize how similar they are until I watched your video. The triangle between Simon, Yoko and Kamina is very similar to that of Naota, his brother and Mamimi. Sorry for the long post but you really hit something in my core and I felt the need to express that. Thanks for posting.

Watching your analysis videos and hearing you draw parallels between your own personal life and this show is probably the best fucking way anyone could have explained it.

    I think Haruko learned that Naota had passed from her, that´s what he does when he stops her plan, besides saying "I love you". She learned that he can live without her, so she tried to have the last word, but nothing takes away the fact that Naota, besides everything he feels, he did the right thing for himself. He made the big character development in the right moment, growing up enough to be what he needs to be

    Man this is so freaky. A couple days ago I finally got back into FLCL after coming across an old playlist of mine. Yesterday I rewatched the whole season and for the first time had almost the exact same reaction to this scene that you so eloquently depicted in your video. And it was a completely new reaction for me as far as FLCL goes. I guess the last time I had watched it I was just as blind as Naota. I guess in the time between when I last watched it and now I realized just how damaging immature tendencies such as lust and impulsivity can be towards one’s life. I can only imagine how much worse it could end up for me considering I already have a tremendous amount of impulsivity thanks to my ADHD. I was almost outraged watching that scene seeing how bad these tendencies can be but at the same time conflicted due to realizing that these tendencies are what allow us as a species to carry on and evolve. I just don’t know what to think.

    We often care about the ideas we have of things more than the things themselves; caring about who we think someone else is more than who they actually are is 1 example of that. Hard to judge others for stuff all humans do and i think this is an instance of that.
    Everyone's just using each other for their own desire.... your videos always make me feel lucky i've never had the desire for relationships xD
    Although people are a good escape from boredom you don't need to get attached to any specific person to accomplish that :Y
    4:30 People might be drawn to each other for their bodies IRL, but online people don't even see those things unless the other person wills it. Not sure if that's more fake or less :U

    • @HidinginPublic
      @HidinginPublic  6 лет назад +2

      it's super short, and can be knocked out in the average movie run time just 6 episodes. I think people essentially are using eachother to reach their own means, but tht isn't bad as long as nobody is being dishonest or manipulative to the other person/people. I don't think online relationships are more or less real. If it is a romantic relationship the physical intimacy may cause different people to not be as attatched, but most things that can be done offline can be online, and I agree that having no face can sometimes create even greater bonds. Thanks for the comment!

    On a fucking binge of your videos. Your analysis' are very emotional to me, I'm not sure if that's because of the verbiage, the tone, the script, or maybe I've felt the same way and have just been unable to put it into words. Thank you.

    Thank you for this analysis, it resonates very much with me. I have been in an unhappy relationship for almost two years now, and i never knew if getting out of it would be the best thing to do. I'm afraid of going back to being alone, but i am quite certain that we shouldn't be together if we want to be truly happy. I just have to get some nerve and leave her. Who would've thought that an anime and a couple of videos on youtube is what i needed?
    Thank you very much, I find what you do very helpful. Hope you are doing well :)

    So quick thought for you this time brother. Excellent work. Another outstanding piece to add to your repertoire, nay, Arsenal of anime video analysis. Beginning to understand what makes your channel unique. The direct ways your life is being affected by the medium, your sense of melancholy must’ve found a soothing tune within this one eh? I don’t know, maybe I think too much. College is different, I think u understand your feelings. People are hard, we all build walls. Sometimes tearing down the whole fucking thing is what we need. Anyways I gotta run bro. Till the next video I watch of yours, take care.

    I've felt that same twisting in my stomach for the past 7 years. Being told "there is nothing you can do to make me happy" and having it reinforced so many times, despite everything you try to do for them. As you said, you wonder if there's something you could have done, or if there's something wrong with yourself since you can't make another human being feel alright in the world. Or do you just keep finding the wrong people to get close to because you "never know best"? Finding that those ex's end up turning to substance abuse is one thing, but having you yourself become clinically depressed for years on end due to the trauma and existential turmoil of having been with such a person is another thing entirely. I remember being told several times that "surely, there are people in this world that don't belong here. Otherwise, why would I exist?" A statement that goes well beyond petty self-pity, into a deep chasm of swirling, charybdian despair.
    I'm a little better nowadays, and I hope you were able to take steps forward as well. Swing the bat.

    Saw it as a kid countless times, and still watch it as an adult at least once a year.
    It both feels very comfy and nostalgic for the simpler days of youth, but I also feel like I get some new meaning and some understanding from it as well.
    It's a perfect series (And I pretend the sequels don't exist. I feel like they undermine the meaning of the original and also just tries to ape it for a cash grab)

  • @poohbear8327

    I'm 2 years late, but damn. spot on. I had a relationship that was basically Mamimi (using me as a stand-in for the ex), and one like Haruko than wanted nothing to do with me once they realized they couldn't handle a relationship evolving into more than just sex and surface value feelings.

    i saw it 2 days ago, as per request of a friend, and i didn't get it at all, and i still don't honestly, my relationships were sparse and were never something real or corresponded some times i didn't have the feeling a girl had for me, and sometimes the girls didn't like me back, for this reason i just couldn't understand it, i never had struggle from a relationship because i never had one, the one i had, i was literally a child, and i only accepted to be in it to boast to my friends, so i could seem more mature, i only accepted because i felt like it was a race, i had no feelings for the girl, and when i ultimately had end it, i felt nothing, no remorse, just felt kinda sad that she was going to get sad, and i still think my greatest mistake was accepting to be in it, if i just said no when she asked me. When i saw the show, i didn't feel sad i just didn't understand it, everything moved fast, and things were never the same, i blinked and something else was happening, and those moments, specially from the last episode, i just felt a relief, it was calm, no giant robots, no things getting out of Naota's head, it was calm, and when it ended i thought nothing of it, but i wasn't the same, was feeling melacholy; Naota, although i hadn't realised yet that things were not like that for him( or just didn't like admiting), had something that i wanted so bad, he was wanted, they wanted something from him, mamimi wanted to spend time with him, so he could remind her of his brother; haruko wanted his body, she felt tempted by him for some reason, she wanted his body so she could get to her "Ex" Atomsk; and the last but not least, Eri wanted intimacy, she felt like she was alone, she was responsible and did everything to separate herself from her parents, and wanted someone she could trust, so she.
    and in the end, naota broke those expectations.
    when he went to invest in Mamimi, he had to realise that she didn't want him, just the boyfriend he reminded her of, he tried to hold his ground, and make her call him by his name, and eventually made her realise she didn't love him.
    when he realised he loved Haruko, he had to face that she didn't want his love, only his body, and the things it could get her, and ended up breaking her expectations when he asked to be more than an object, so she left him,
    and when Eri had to spend a night at his house they
    "exchanged" secrets (she rigged the votes, he had cat ears), when it came to the moment they had to prove their trust in each other, he made her realise that he didn't trust her, because they barely knew each other.
    He broke the expectations everyone had. And in the end he end up alone.

    I always wondered what people loved about this show, that made them say it was there favorite. One of my best friends said it was one their favorite animes. I just didn't think it deserved such praised. That thought probably came from not actually paying attention to it as much or lack of understanding at the time. I'm gonna rewatch the series again tho.

    Is it weird how i watched this show, was thinking of something so similar in my life to points you've made in this video, but never thought that they had anything to do with each other. That last line speaks to me because it's something ive said to someone else, and i always regret ending the almost relationship the way i did, somehow making her feel terrible for wanting it too. It hurts because i know ive hurt someone the same way and i just hope to apologize for it one day.

    If a psychopath had a dog and it died, this would upset them because the dog loves them unconditionally and they lost that. He is a dog in the end.
    All my past relationships were lessons. So I forgive them. It's hard to find someone who is worth it and isn't broken tho, so I am alone because of that.

    Creators are on record that Haruko was never in love with Atomsk. Amarao assumed so, and was wrong, because Amarao is presumptuous like that. Any take that begins from this assumption is a bad take.
