Suffering Isn't Purpose

- Painful and useless wings within a walled city; is the unfairness of life something we must come to terms with for salvation?
Haibane Renmei, an anime from the same character designer as Serial Experiments Lain (Yoshitoshi Abe), tells a much different story than the latter. In a walled city called Glie, the Haibane, angel like creatures, are born from cocoons into a world of limitation, where they must never leave and survive on what the humans discard. In this unfair situation, stressed by their painful and pointless wings, they can easily find suffering, as both Reki and Rakka, the main characters, do. Reki spends her days taking care of everyone else, mainly Rakka, because she believes she is meant to be alone (due to being sin bound), and makes this tragedy her purpose in life, hoping that by suffering in loneliness of others, she’ll achieve salvation. However, Reki’s mindset only worsens her suffering where it must not be, and so she never finds the satisfaction which leads to salvation, while also hurting others from doing so much. Rakka, becoming sin bound like her mentor, falls into a similar cycle of self hate, eventually being saved by analyzing “the circle of sin,” the paradox of a good person being unable to see themself as good. Through togetherness and understanding, she’s able to help reach a state of salvation once more, escaping from her sin. While Haibane Renmei may be a somewhat forgotten and odd anime about angels, this video essay will dive into its core themes, profiling and discussing its main characters to explain what can be learned from both.

I forgot a pinned comment for this video all the way until just now, when I went to edit it to tell you all thank you for such an amazing response to this video. I wasn't expecting it at all for this topic and presentation, but it's been a massive boost to see it mean something to so many. I'm lucky, very lucky, to have you all here
1 hour video essay about Haibane Renmei in 2024. I am definitely in the right timeline
It could probably be shorter, but I'm glad the time can be something worthwhile haha
@@ProfessorViral no, no, the longer the better 😁 I really loved how both parts of the video are connected and share a through-line of themes and lessons. Thanks for sharing and this video indeed made me go "huh, i havent thought of that, thats interesting" about life and about Haibane
Was that sarcastic or not?
@@user-gw4oz1rk3i no, its not sarcastic. i was referring to that segment in part 2 of the video (51:11) where people leaving low-key comments saying "huh, that gave me something to think about" was more fullfilling to the author of the video
It always makes me happy when I see someone bring this show up. It’s just one of those hidden gems that doesn’t get talked about enough. I’ve been a fan since the days when it first came out and I go back to it every now and then.
It’s always a relief to see the title, “Suffering is not Purpose.” I wish I learned this little lesson in the darker times of my life, and even now in this slump I’ve been getting through. Thank you for reminding me once again Professor. Your videos and your ramblings is always appreciated for this old man.
Thank you for the kind words. I sought out to try and provide those little nuggets of reflection that people take and make something much greater from a while ago now, and it means a lot to know it's still working
You should check out Buddhism. Even if just the tenants, and not the spiritual part.
I wrote a massive, over sharing comment about how just hearing Rekki's art felt viscerally real, but I'll save you the traumadump and instead say that you've made me want to give this show a shot. Thank you.
If you feel like you need to share it with someone, please do. I struggle to express my feelings and often delete comments partway through writing them, so I understand it can be easy to say "This is too much" or "nobody cares". One way or the other I hope you're doing well and learning to live more freely each day.
@@derflerp538 Nah don't worry, I have friends I've told and I see a therapist a few times a month. It'll definitely come up there, but I'm doing just fine!
It's sometimes good to shout it into the void, sometimes people that need to happen upon it and know they're not alone, but from personal experience it's not always the best option. You can end making things worse for yourself. Because letting something out that's that personal, that raw, only for it to get no response or the basic platitudes that have never worked? It can make that mental box you've put yourself in get even smaller.
Yeah, can happen. It isn't that good.
This video made me think about suffering as a "cost" on the metaphorical "cost benefit analysis" of our projects. From that perspective, it only makes sense to reduce the suffering to improve the "benefits" of our endeavors. Some suffering is necessary, but it shouldn't outweigh the positives.
Thank you for another great video that made me think! 💕
Honestly this essay helped me understand why a friend was so adamant I watch this anime that he sent me a ripped copy through snail mail. I never ended up watching it, but knowing him and where I was at that time in my life, I can't help but think the conclusions you drew were exactly what he was trying to tell me all the way back then. I hope you keep making videos that you are happy with, I hope you continue to be insightful even if you don't have mountains of research or academic rigor and jargon behind you. Sometimes it is important just to be able to say *your* piece, to have *your* perspective and not have to stand on the shoulders of giants to do so. I don't vibe with everything you say in the videos I have watched, but I absolutely adore and respect your positions. I hope that even if you stop making videos you keep finding your voice over and over and find satisfaction and happiness therein. Thank *you* for all your efforts.
"I don't vibe with everything you say in videos I've watched..."
Honestly this is a plus for me. If I'm agreeing with every single take, then I don't know whether I'm actually thinking critically about the subject matter. Either that or the person with the takes is only making the safest, most mundane observations. As long as he isn't saying anything outright _wrong_ (which I don't think he ever has), all input is valuable
@@andrewsad1 Oh absolutely!
That statement is a plus for me too. It's very important to know that people aren't agreeing with me simply because I said something, but because they themselves truly understood and considered it. If what I said was simply accepted, it would lose the reason I said it for
Oh man, it's been a minute since I've seen Haibane Renmei.
I forget who suggested it, but it was on my list, so I finally checked it out all these years late haha
@@ProfessorViral I think it might have been me. Someone else might have too but I don't know many other people who have even heard of Haibane Renmei.
Me personally I love your pseudo philosophical rants! Hell it’s what I come here for :3
Pseudo philosophical? Like without official terminology?
I feel lucky that I get to watch video essays about anime I've never seen before and find something that moves me to tears. Your content is some of my favorite stuff on youtube, and you have an incredible ability to bring an idea to life in a way that is both visceral and enlightening (as well as immensely entertaining) . This video in particular helped me make a bit more sense of my own life, and helped me appreciate the parts of it that I sometimes don't feel like I deserve. Thank you for that and for all the work you do
put this on randomly while working on a haibane renmei cosplay of all things..... the way my jaw dropped 2 minutes in when you revealed what the video essay was about :O
"I will never be so Someton, to put my name on everything" I see what you've done there.
Gotta get those slightly outdated references in there somewhere
I have LOVED Haibane Renmei for the better part of 20 years. Thank you so very much for giving it a spotlight and so much thought!
Of course, I'm glad I could for something classic like this!
Hey man, thanks for the video, it's amazing as usual. I just want to say that it was very cool to hear about your experience with all this thing of doing thinks alone + everithing that happened and how you went through it. Something really similar to that happened to me and it's really good to hear that other people face the same thing, and as you said, you not here to change the world but to make people think and sure that you did!
I'm glad you're standing up for yourself instead of abandoning yourself. I see you and the cycle you found yourself in. Hope you maintain an upward trend. Good luck with everything!
Thank you for the kind words 💙
I don't know how to write comments but I just want to say, I'm exactly like what you were, I shut out and even hurt people who try to get close because I believe that the only way I can help anyone is to be by myself and to hurt myself. All that aside, I wanted to say thank you, you definitely made me think about myself with this one and, if it's any consolation, it probably will change my life.
haibane renmei is one of my favorite pieces of art ever made, im glad there's still people thinking and talking about it
I didn't even make it past the first 10 minutes of this video before I basically started crying so I know this will be a great, if painful, video essay to sit through.
I swear I always see your videos right when I need them in crucial parts of my life and it's been so worth it every time in helping me to change my perspectives and push myself forward in a positive way.
I think mostly people, who are known to this kind of mindset, watch this video and i love and at the same time hate how nobody is dropping any sobstories in the comments. Because i feel like people (including me) are doing that to not burden anyone in an attempt to better the world by taking the suffering upon themselves. I mean, maybe im also just projecting, can‘t know for sure. But also, this is a lot of concepts to take in, so i understand why. That sentence in the anime where she said help me, but was afraid, if she asked and no one would listen, that would make her to have to accept being completely on her own in the world really got to me.
My biggest respect for ProfessorViral for coming to such advanced conclusions and also good for you to start valuing yourself more :)
I am also on that journey and wish anyone else on it that they succeed on accepting oneself how they are :)
Also a new anime for the watchlist yay :D
I appreciate this. It's thematic to current events in my life, and helpful in supplementing my changing self-perception. I've realized lately that I constantly, subconsciously, judge myself for every little thing. I don't have to do that, and I'm learning how not to little by little.
My favorite anime by far, I am so happy to see another video about it
Hopefully it was an enjoyable video for something you really love! I was uncertain on this one, I think it was just too wordy, but I hope it was good enough!
Always super excited to see you post a video, and talking about an anime I watched as a teen... Thank you so much. Struggling with martyring myself quite often as well, I feel for you.
To be honest, I've been feeling exactly the same lately. This video gave me just what I needed, I understand that this is not what you may mean to do now but also, I feel like I have to write this 'cause maybe this will let you see how things have changed since that video that flopped...
I'm glad to hear/see this, I really have been having those hints about changing, but I fell in a limbo where I don't even know if there's an exit, this video finally helped me find it, it was so hard for me to reach it for some reason, even when I knew exactly what I had to do to get out but once again falling into selfish thoughts when I tried it. Worse of all, I didn't actually had someone who I could ask for help, so I thought the best was to give up.
Now you just come with a one hour video just to tell me how an anime I had no idea that existed already did all of that + your own experience to fully emphatize with... Literally the help I never asked for, but that anyways came here without even knowing they would help somebody by simply existing and doing nothing else than just appearing on recomended videos among non related videos that don't even scratch the surface of what this anime is nor even relate to the title of the video. Just chance right?
All this big text just to say, thanks man, you just saved me and you don't even know how or why, we could even just leave it as another vent text in the comentary section of the video, but yet, to me it means much more than just that, thank you dude
It is what you do, not what you feel or think or say, that define you. Your words mean nothing on their own; it's how you wield those words that define you. Your thoughts mean nothing on their own; what you do with those thoughts is what defines you. Your feelings mean nothing on their own; what you do with those feelings define you.
Action defines you. Facts and truths in and of themselves do not define you, it's how you respond to them that defines the kind of person you are.
I just finished watching your video for the third time and I am overwhelmed yet comforted. I have never felt so located by any discussion before. The analysis and your experience capture everything I have been feeling lately. It's an attempt from a fleeting moment of overwhelming anxious adrenaline that I am writing this. I am yet to reach out to people and ask for help, being heard. I need to start voicing myself and thanking you for this video seems like the right start. I will be eagerly waiting for your next work, whatever form it takes. Take care.
I just Saw skrillex live and came home to this after walking 9 kilometers to see that the legend has posted what might be the utmost lit video essay of the 2020s. I reckon I’ll sleep quite well tonight… this might be the best night ever
I remember when I was in my mid 20s and my mother yelled at me; "Michael, you have not suffered enough!" It was yelled at me in a tone of pure venom. I thought it was a terrible thing to say at the time, a lot of people have agreed with me that it was a terrible thing to say. The reality is this, she was right, I had not suffered enough. Later in life after a decade or so of real suffering, I realised how much I had grown due to this period of terrible suffering. It had made me a better person in so many ways, it made me so much more resilient, empathetic, knowledgeable and wiser. I can cope with so much in life now and I can problem solve the human condition so much more than I could, suffering is good thing, as long as it doesn't totally break you. I feel for those that are never free from the torment of suffering, or have never experienced real suffering.
Have a good day everyone. :)
I guess the point isn't that suffering CAN'T lead to salvation but rather that suffering in it of itself shouldn't be the goal. Overcoming it should be the end-goal, not indulging in it(which is stuff like self-hatred, infinite penitence, and stuff like that).
Should people then actively seek to suffer? Is someone who hasn't suffered *lesser* than someone who has? Should I self-harm and intentionally self-sabotage my life so I can "grow" as a person? This isn't a jab at you, I'm genuinely asking. Cause... I don't know... I've felt all my life I'm a horrible person who constantly hurts other people and destroys every relationship I have. Is that all because I haven't experienced real suffering? Is that what's making me bad?
idk... If what you say is true, you have a lot of life experience and wisdom on me, so if nothing else I think your advice would be pretty valuable. Should I? The only way I can think of is to run away from home. I just wanna be a better person and make everyone happy, so if that lets me do that, I'd try it.
I remember an interaction i had with you in your discord once and thinking to myself how hard you were on yourself. It's wonderful to see you being kinder to yourself. Thank you for this video and your directness. It's refreshing. Also your right apology not needed, I'll accept it anyways though.
Bro just discovered your channel today and binged your content all my work shift . 8 hours straight lol. Love the type of philosophical story telling using movies/anime etc
Thank you, glad you've been enjoying it!
You dont know how much this video means to me. I picked up this anime on disc a few years back and had yet to watch it but this video seemed super enticing. Ive been struggling for a long long time with motivation and joy and overall just contentment and it felt like this video was a step by step guide thank you it was wonderful.
Thank you, I'm very glad I could provide a basis for that. I'm sure what you take from it and mold into on your own will be fantastic!
I'm so happy someone is talking about haibane renmei in 2024, thank you professor
Hey uh, thank you. I needed someone to say that suffering isn't virtue, that doing things alone doesn't make it or you better, and that I don't need to change the world to be valuable. I can't say "oh this is life changing and now I'm going to go be better for forever" but I can say that this video got me moving again. I had been in a slump of being unable to do things because I knew they couldn't be perfect so it felt pointless to try for around two months. Just now, I opened my laptop to get to work on modeling a replacement part I've needed to make for a while. It's small but hopefully I can keep the momentum going. Thank you for giving me the kick I needed to start moving again
Thank you for your time, and the very kind words. Maybe it seems silly to say I'm thankful for other people being thankful, but it really does mean so much to see that I can accomplish what I set out to do, using a love of stories and their meanings to make a positive change. To know that it had an impact, even if its just one small part for now, means a lot. I hope that you do keep moving, and that your actions and experience which build on that moment of starting again become something great
Please don’t ever stop doing what you love! I always look forward to your videos and it helped me learn so much throughout the years
Thank you, it really always does mean so much to hear that : )
I always feel a strange nice feeling after watching a video of yours, usually comes after I am done thinking about all you've said and how it applies to my life, even if the message wasn't a happy one, I think it is the feeling of understanding something new (?)
There's a certain satisfaction in understanding, I think. To be able to learn and grow, essentially without any tools more than the mind and method of delivery. It's squarely us and the material, and when we understand it we know we've succeeded entirely as us. I can't untangle how I feel about the concept from others opinion of me anymore, I'm always subject to doubt that if I was unobserved I wouldn't care to understand, but I think there's something satisfying about it inherently which drove me to do this to begin with
Thanks for your analyses AND for bringing up anime that I am totally not going to binge this weekend….
voy a comentar en español porque no tengo ganas de redactar en inglés
es interesante como nos olvidamos de disfrutar las cosas que hacemos porque la ambición o quizás codicia en algunas ocasiones, nos quiere hacer algo más grande. muchas veces me he sentido perdida y vivía bajo la frase "todo lo bueno se hace esperar" o "todo sufrimiento vale la pena" para motivarme. no creo que debería ser así, creo que nuestros caminos deberían tener su disfrute. no es que quiera caer en el "solo tenemos una vida" pero sí, deberíamos ser más gentiles con nosotros mismos
English or Spanish?
Hey man, great video. I really appreciate your effort! I love Haibane Renmei, and I love your take on it.
Thank you! I was honestly doubting this video for months, so it's been amazing to see so many people enjoying it
thank you for this
Of course. Thank you for your time!
(watched till the end)
even though this video didn't get some insane amount of views in a day, I hope your realization and things have become better after researching, writing, and working on this project. I know I've never commented before but I just wanted to say I've always loved your videos and I can really see the work you always put into them, even if the details or edits may not be huge and showy, it does add so much to your videos :))
Even if youtube does screw you over and give you extremely miniscule amounts of views, that doesn't take away the value of your work and your value as a creator on this platform
i’m bad with words but i watched the whole thing with no pauses, i really enjoy how laid back and introspective you are. thank you for this video, it really cuts deep. good luck with all your future endeavours🎉
Thank you for the kind words and your time! I'm glad the video was enjoyable
Hmm. This was a very intriguing video. Thanks for making it.
Of course! I'm glad there was something interesting in it for you!
Thank you for doing my favorite anime! It helped me in some hard times years ago.
Of course! I'm glad I can spread a bit of attention for it all these years later
This isnt to diminish your hard work but what made me sub to begin with is these ending rant parts. I dont expect one every video but MANNNNN is it nice to hear the thoughts of an actual person just saying (what I choose to believe) their actual thoughts. I'm a video editor by hobby so when I see videos like these it makes me happy to see this and I understand the work that goes into production.
I guess having something that brings those fictional concepts into reality breaks that last layer of "but it's just thoughts" and really adds something. But then, some of my favorite channels are just people like Tim Cain and Adam Savage just sharing experience, so I guess it's just overall enjoyable when it seems like someone has a genuine experience to share
Honestly I'm bad with words more so now that I'm struggling with mutism as a way to cope with life.
On the off chance you see this some of your content has reminded me both that I need to be stronger for those who need me and because things can get better if I take one step at a time. People don't go hollow.
I like the honesty at the end 💜
Thank you so much for this video It was very important for me 😊
I hope it was in a beneficial way! Thank you for the kind words!
It makes me really happy to see that there are other people who love Haibane Renmei so much. So thank you for your video.
I hope you can see for yourself one day that you are good just the way you are.
Fun fact: I knew that there would be a video about Haibane Renmei here at some point. We just had to wait a few years. ;)
I get that feeling at the end. I've been a RUclips streamer for 6 months. I have no idea what I'm doing but apparently it's working. I get the sunk cost fallacy too, if I just had this, if I could just do this, I'd be BETTER. But, people already like what I'm giving them.
For what it's worth I've loved your reviews. Especially the ones on Lain!
This definetely is your magnus opus, phenomenal vid, do more.
I really wasn't expecting the love on this one at all; I lost confidence in it and thought it was average at best. To see otherwise has been so fantastic
Thank you broski
I'm 26. Your content is very helpful to unraveling my own mind some days, and while I can't afford to support creators I just wanted to say that I really appreciate it.
Edit; I wrote this before the rant at the end but I'll add that is the most relatable shit I've heard in a while.😂
A comment alone is enough, don't worry. That's already more than most, and they're always so encouraging to read 💙
Never heard of this anime before but glad you introduced me to it here 🙏
having our teeth clenched throughout the Haibane Renmei part means we've got soooome work to do - looking at our art now like are we healing or perpetrating suffering ?? its an ongoing conversation so can it be both depending on the point in which its viewed? "the universe of images - in which action and agony go endlessly round in circles"
Ok after actully watching the vid I love it. I spent 1000 of hours drawing in the last years and I got some atention and a Galerie exhibition but I only wanted more reconniton and the fun and inspiring other gone on the sidelines. I just texted somebody if he could help me because your vid. Thank you very much♡
Glad I could help!
I can totally understand wanting to make something completely alone. I’m working on a project myself and when I was considering how to make it I kept insisting on making the sound myself even though I have no experience doing that and I already have so much more to do and it’s been a real struggle coming to terms with the fact that I might have to ask for help. I want the project to be mine and mine alone but that’s just not feasible or efficient….. anyway thanks for the extra push in the right direction 😅
paused at 00:01. sorry sensei, I've watched a lot of you're work, you are always right. which is why I can't take this one.
I've accepted it to be this way for the better part of 5 years for now. losing the people i trusted, my family, the person i loved.
i can't change anymore, I can't go purposeless again. maybe one day i can face that challenge, but for now, i'd rather believe suffering to be my purpose. thank you tho
I'd recommend looking into buddhist teachings when you're ready to at least lessen the pain. My only advice is to not take any of life so seriously and to try and find that which brings you joy and to just submerge yourself in them.
Oh this one's gonna be a banger
Hopefully! It was written a couple months back when I was at the height of my wordy-tragic style, so it might be longer than it needs to be
@@ProfessorViral after finishing it, definetly a certified banger 👍thanks for the nice hour
Nice! haibane renmei, the best anime released the year i was born. now the only shows you haven't talked about from my top ten are Mawaru Penguindrum and Clannad 😂 gem of a channel
Edit: and texhnolyze. Also yoshitoshi abe work, with chiaki j konaka who helped him with lain as well
This was a very good video
Thank you!
it wasn't too much, i appreciate your perspective at the
Please be easier on yourself. You are being mean to yourself. Loved your vid💜
Holy shi@%t....haibane renmei
Damn i saw that anime almost 9 years ago when i was 15 i think
It cunfused me so much but i was obsessed with the aestetic
Thanks for explaining the deeper meaning behind it.
Of course, happy to help! But, keep in mind this is just one idea of what it means, and seeing what others say, or your own thoughts on it, could be just as great too
I relate to you tremendously on this video, this need to prove that you're valuable, the need to prove that everyone was wrong about you. I used to get called dumb and idiot all throughout school so I became a smart-ass and a intellectual dick, by learning tons of Philosophy, so I can intellectually crush anyone, who opposes me, to prove everyone that I wasn't dumb. Yet in the end, the Validation I sought so long for left me more unvalidated than ever, if that's a word. I couldn't accept me for me. I saw this title from scrolling on youtube, I didn't watch the video, because I almost cried from the title alone and got all I needed from it, and I hope it helps you, when you are going through rough times or feel you aren't enough.
"You don't need to justify your life. If you're here, you should be."
Sorry if this didn't make any coherent sense.
I am happy(?) to see an hour-long video about a show that had scenes that left me feeling deep, cold dread and alienation far more effective than any overtly horror media. This stupid show is so emotionally brutal.
I enjoy yar dramatic philosophical endings. Shows me I'm not the only one getting lost in those
I'm sure others have poignant comments to make, but I find it neat when we get to the cityscape and self reflection part of the video
I honestly still struggle to get it into my head that people really do like that part of the video. I often cut the idea of doing one because my brain says "but it's just your life, who cares?" But I guess telling it with a purpose changes that, to some degree
If you find solace in your work, you can be sure that others do as well, and though you may not change the world at whole, you will change the worlds of many that you touched with the fruits of your labor.
For sure. Sometimes its easier to forget that than I'd like, but I'm always reminded by how kind you all can be
@@ProfessorViral To an extent, it is a choice, that we make our impact on others the purpose, instead of accepting it as consequence. And so was my message, an attempt to capture truth, not a tool to change your world. Nonetheless, it moves me that it did. Thank you.
There is something about your essays now I say after having reached the conclusion. Perhaps because philosophy means a lot to me myself; and how unique is the idea that everything around still rotates around us. So in a way we each are the centre of Universe. You think world would be better place if more people got to see that? Or I could highlight the shift in tone during "Part 2" with fade outs. It's a simple effect while it was executed masterfully :] As for me personally... I've been checking on some parts of the essays here, and there and while at first there were some ideas I vibed heavily with only half way through ( I'll explain in a second) and the second halves felt opposite to what I believe ( since I used to be afraid of failure and wanted to see only the sugar and rainbows; and I saw a rainbow today :]) I couldn't or didn't want to leave this page or channel how they are called on this platform. So I wonder if it's about my growth or something in this particular essay that directly pulled at my soul strings; or that my loved one is struggling and I'd give up the whole world just to see her okay. But that idea on its own ( of me) is wrong. We should never put ourselves in position where we sacrifice ourselves no matter how much we love what we do or those we love. The answer is pretty simple ( like my father says, everything genius is simple), if we die for that we love how can we be happy about what we create? Or enjoy the company of loved ones. There is balance to everything just like there needs to be chaos in ones life. I couldn't argument the need of chaos for I rely my judgement on what my heart feels; emotions and intuition. There simple is the sense of what is right.
So having found that harmony having found Nirvana now I look back at the video essay of yours that I didn't like, and I can see it was because of me not that you had done something wrong. We as human don't like in others what we don't like about ourselves. So me having found out what it was about me has helped me to succeed the puzzle. At the same time, what I didn't like was my own struggles I tried to run away from telling myself they don't exist so hearing someone talk about them might have set me off :x but again, it only happened because at that time I wasn't in peace with myself by no means it's the fault of the artist; it never should be the fault of the artist: it's the same as you can't look at a painting and say that the painter is bad person because of what they painted - they painted what they felt and they had their reasoning, any other art form is exactly the same way; it's why I believe it's not about how detailed and polished are our thoughts but the fact we put them out :D
And I am just noticing something about myself... this is the first time I am leaving a longer comment on this platform, and my use of ellipsis is significantly smaller. So maybe we all as souls on this planet have salvation o.o That being said, I wish you a pleasant summer! ^_^
There's no good amount of suffering. That we must endure it at all is proof of the inherent injustice of the world. It's unacceptable, and to inflict such an existence on others is sadistic.
There's an all too relatable lyric in MARINA's "Oh No!" that I'm reminded of:
"Maybe it is all a test,
Cos' I feel like I'm the worst, so I always act like I'm the best."
I think that's an interest aspect of how the series gets into more organized faith that I didn't get into as much here. The idea, at least in Christianity, that everything here is a sort of "test" for something that comes after can easily make Reki's mindset on a wider scale, even as an individual can come to the same idea from their conditions
@@ProfessorViral That's an interesting point, yeah. It's funny how sometimes it seems that the same mindsets we often associate with resilience, while useful, can lead us to taking on more suffering than necessary when taken too far.
I'll take it into consideration.
The second part of the Video was the Best.
it is possible to put these on spotify? these are way too good
Suffering is reality.
my favorite sad anime lets fuckin gooo
Very sad, but in such a personal way which feels unique? It's not world ended or grand wide scale tragedy, but just a collection of people with flaws, which is refreshing and feels more relatable
@@ProfessorViral I rewatch Haibane every few years, it means so much to me for so many reasons. I completely agree, and in different stages of my life I've found myself in different parts of the characters. It has had such a profound effect on me, and I'm sure it will continue to. Thanks for making this video, its really special in a person and unique way :)
HAIBANE RENMEI
I love that this had a translate to English option, which left it exactly the same
Babe wake up professor viral posted yet another banger
These are getting longer 👀🤩
This one was probably because I kept repeating myself a bit too much, so they might not all be this long, but I do have some hour plus ones written haha
I thought the communicator did push reki to face that even if over the edge to push that brought up as last chance , as well as telling reki that she had someone breaking her cycle of internalized "sin".
Which is really well treated in the series and how being a good person can make you feel worse and blame yourself over wanting to blame others. Even when its nessesary, to stop selfpity and call out it can ewasy be. And that fostering is never good. Why probably the messanger pushed that out.
And how rekis burden was impossible to adress alone
I think rakas thing was realizing her existing as her made people happy, and that she is worth it. I mean she made kuu realize that , by being herself and give reki company and less lonely.
Anyways i think people should improive if they must , but paradoxical accept as they are are valuable, including flaws and mistakes. Dunno being human but try not to be the worst you can be but , flaws and all included.
Em its really good so eranest adding pieces of art, that should get more watched, but the algorithm is unfair i guess.
Also talking about stories meaningful is worth it too.?!
And you arent an alcoholic only self depriviting author type i guess in the end so, good. Or only partly
What's the song that plays at the start? It sounds very familiar.
HAIBANE RENMEI????? LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Pretty relatable :(
Bro is always cooking
The one who's gonna love is really lucky to have you
talking about adulting reminds me of your video about Usagi Drop 🤓
I want to give you some quotes, they helped me maybe they can help you.
"The Therapist seeks to help the other person to the point of where he can move forwards in life, solve his problems and overcome the obstacles independently. The task of the Therapist is not to cure, but to be a guide, friend and interpreter to people on their journey through their private hell." Rollo May
"There is only one way and that is your way;
there is only one salvation and that is your salvation.
Why are you looking for help? Do you believe that help will come from outside? What is to come will be created in and from you. Hence look into yourself. Do not compare, do not measure. No other way is like yours. All other ways deceive and tempt you. You must fulfill the way that is in you." Carl Jung.
I just returned from animexpo. Hope to see you at an anime event.
It isn’t, but without suffering our lives would be boring honestly
Happiness and suffering, generally- all the negative and positive things must coexist to make our existence complete
Forty minutes in but I just had to say... it's never about how it sounds what we say it's always about what we take from what we hear ^_^ So no matter how well the argument is constructed if there is going to be doubt in our hearts about how good is the quality there will be words of someone who will break us. Essentially... it's our desire to be broken and it will continue happening until we ourselves believe that what we've made is good enough or truly masterful. Think for a minute what is the secret to perfection :3 There's is very simple answer to that. So to not sound too deep and philosophical myself :p I'll cut the idea here ^_^ It's always about what we want to happen.
I thought this was about Homura
This topic probably could be worked out with her character as well. There's an interesting distinction in what they believe their ultimate focus to be (Rekki knowing she's doing it for herself/ Homura thinking she's doing it for Madoka) which would still make it unique though

1:02:52 the world is changed by long serieses of normal things which cumulate in a world which is entirely changed.
This anime speaks to me on an emotionally level I didn't even think possible.
