"I only hope that, when my time comes, i will be able to say "living sure was the best, wasn't it?" Whether that's with tears in my eyes, my fist curled in defiance, or a smile on my lips, or all off them at the same time." That is a quote that I will never forget.
@@Shaowd this might actually be one of the greatest shows I ever watched. There are some loose ends, not everything is perfect. The ending alone, combined with the emotion-heavy message is one of the greatest things this medium has achieved. I guess I can never watch the anime again, knowing their twisted, but fitting, fate.
I havent watched the anime or read the manga this video made me cry i dont know what to dont know what to do with my human life i wanted hope to live forever but whats the point when my family is going to be gone qhen thetes nothing to gain then what will be the point i just want to die with a smile.
@@wannabeaussie5809 Nietze wasn't a fascist. He was no friend to nationalism for example. Fascism did not even exist during his lifetime. The fascists, especially national socialists were somewhat inspired by his writings, or to be more precise, by their interpretation of his writings. Nietzsche wrote in a very bombastic way that is VERY open to interpretation and as such basically begs to be misinterpreted.
@Ethan Magor if ya wanna talk with rimmy, You should join his discord, If ya wanna play with Rimmy trying to join the Cadian's in Arma would permit that.
After a bloody, depressing and gruel war, the last 2 humans on Earth left feeling content, happy and in peace. It's been years and I still think that this anime is one of the best.
There used to be a stupid joke here, but after watching the video I feel empty. It resonates with me on a very deep level. The feeling of apathy, the feeling that all you're doing is just repeating the same thing, and that no matter what you try it's all ultimately meaningless is one well known to me. Especially after entering university in October last year, I always doubted the validity of a choice I made, a choice that will define my life from now on. After pondering for a long time I reached the conclusion, that it ultimately doesn't matter. My hesitation, my apathy, my feeling of hopelessness, they all don't matter. As long as you can laugh genuinely, all will be fine. You got something out of your existence. No matter how miniscule it is, every moment of joy counts. It's worth it to go on for those small moments. And to @Rimmy - Downunder Gaming, you shouldn't feel bad about what you're doing. Every video of yours brings something to all of your viewers. A mark on the world that no-one can erase. Everything will be fine, so if the world makes you feel bad, just tell it to bugger off instead of bothering you, you have already done something amazing.
Man I started uni in October and feel the exact same. Gave up rowing as I thought it would get in the way of my social but then realised it was the only thing that gave my life meaning. I've been speaking to a councillor and that's helped and I think I'm starting to turn shit around, but rimmys vids are always a highlight and I hope both you guys find a calling and life becomes interesting again, as I struggle to find that myself
Watching girls last tour introduced me to one of my favorite emotions, that being the feeling of an empty hopelessness. Imagine how it felt to see ruins of a long dead civilization and just having everything, including the girls, ignore what happened there or who lived there. Humanity may think that just because we do something automatically makes it important to the universe, but in reality we are just a bunch of monkeys just running about on a ball of dirt. The feeling of hopelessness this can bring can be crushing, but seeing their(the girls) reaction being that of joy for the moment they are living in makes that same hopelessness feel hollow. After various rewatches I realized something, in our reality we may be just a speck of dust in a vast uncaring void but that doesn’t mean that I can’t care about life. My life is my time to prove my existence to myself and not to the universe at large. When I am at the end of my life I hope to laugh and smile at the empty hopelessness that allowed me to enjoy every second of it.
Gigguk from time to time just writes video essays about the essence of anime, my personal favorites are his "The Decade Anime Grew Up" video and his video on ending animes
Me: "Oh look a new Rimmy video time to laugh!" Me, 13 minutes later: *a crying mess* A genuinely wonderful video that moved me and made me want to do more than just be a couch potato all day. Thank you.
Rimmy is that weird intersection between SovietWomble, Lindsay Ellis and Hiding in Public and I’m loving it ^^ Edit: Seriously though, it is kind of... I don’t know... inspiring to see various RUclipsrs branch out into different kinds of content? Exploring different ways to express themselves through media? There’s a certain curse, I think, when it comes to RUclipsdom that locks a lot of people into neverending feedback loops of always creating the same kind of content, lest they risk angering the algorithm. Soundsmith mentions how much he regrets always making TF2 videos, since once he got in, he found it basically impossible to work on passion projects unrelated to TF2. People like Rimmy and Soundsmith take really big risks when they try to branch into different fields; and I think in Rimmy’s case, it’s especially impressive, because a candid, emotional, short video essay about an anime is about the last thing I would have expected from the guy who had a Zeus mount a banner onto an aircraft tow truck and loudly proclaimed “YEE,” and, I cannot stress this enough, “HAAAW” as he and his command team barreled into an active war zone. I dunno, it’s... beautiful, seeing different sides to content creators every now and then.
Damn you Rimmy for making me, a grown man, cry because i can't show you the joy I find in living. I leave this comment, my first comment on any social media platform in over 26 years, in the faint hope that it somehow, against all reason, brings at least a small amount joy into your life.
I just want to say thank you Rimmy. As of late, I've been fearful. I'm only 18 yet this year has reminded me of my mortality so much and I never was able to process the idea of me dying as a kid. For many night I've been fearful, afraid of the day when my lights go out, fearful of the morning that I just won't be here anymore. It's kept me up much more than I'd like to admit. But this video helped me. It's given me this newfound feeling, that isn't hope, but is acceptance of what will come. I know I'll die, but I want to die now, having been able to say, just like you and them, "living was the best". And you helped me realize this. I know this will probably get swallowed in the comment's section, much like any memory of me will get swallowed up after I die, but I just want you to know you've helped me feel better about the world. Thank you.
I personally came to that realisation on my own because I tend to think to much at night, when there is nothing but me and my own thoughts and I came to the conclusion that I only care about making my life one worth living, because I will die one day and I have no say in that fact, so I might as well do something for those that will live after me, I think both in a Nihilistic and a hopeful manner, I want to believe that what I choose to do with my life will make the world better, and I have plans and ideas that I will put into place no matter how grueling the work might be. I guess that with accepting the idea of death comes a certain peace and understanding of wanting to do more, I think that people who are selfish and only live for themselves are the most afraid of their eventual death, they want to change that fact, and they swim against the current and hurt others for their selfishness, I can only do something for those that will come after, not fully for myself or for those before me, but for those ahead of me, I am supposed to build a part of the path that will lead ahead, I am supposed to plant a tree whose fruit I will never taste, I am supposed to do something that I will never see to its fullest extent and I am fine with that. I may only be 22 but many years of loneliness, isolation and a defiant spirit have taught me more than anything else could have, how many times I could have given up but I didn't I chose not to give up without any clear reason as to why except I would die regretting my life, I knew I couldn't be satisfied with my life or with my death, I believe that even though I will fear and most likely cry at my deathbed, I know that I will be proud of the life I led.
I came to this realization aswell and it terrified me and kept me up for hours at a time and i was only 13 im now 15 not a huge difference but i...i think ive finally reached my peace i think I'll be accepting of the time that will eventually come when i die whether it be a fight for my life and i know i will die or if it's just something else... something blissful just like this ending in the manga and anime represented in the video. I hope by leaving a trace on the internet by commenting, writing, doing art, and various other things or writing and doing art in real life will leave my memory which that maybe just maybe people will remember me just for a little while and for me... that'd be enough.
Well, I think there's hope. I think there's afterlife. And it can be a lot better depending on one decision that we make. I mean really, isn't it a dissapointing thought that this life here is all there is? Honestly, this is just not enough. But I've found somebody who fulfilled me, yes, I can't see or hear him, but he's a great man to trust with my life. It's Jesus. And every time I think of him, I get filled with hope, remember what I'm here for and where I'm going. I've believed that there is a way to live forever and be happy and help people, not to be proud of myself, but to be a reflection of a hope that I was given.
The fear of death and its inevitability, combined with two likable characters, drives this story. We root for Chiito and Yuri, we want them to succeed while in our hearts, we know that death is the only option which awaits them in the wasteland. Ultimately it is a story about the acceptance of our fate, and what we make of it.
“Finally, she mused that human existence is as brief as the life of autumn grass, so what was there to fear from taking chances with your life?” ― Mo Yan, Red Sorghum
Hey Rimmy, I only recently found your videos through Civ of all things, and you've quickly become one of my absolute favorite RUclipsrs. I turned 18 a few days ago, as well as graduated High School a bit over a month ago, and I feel a lot of your pain, I'm supposed to be living it up right now, but instead I'm stuck at home. Depression is something that I've always struggled with, mostly due to a shitty roll of the genetic dice, but also some outside factors. I found theatre as an outlet this year, and realized my passion for acting and being on stage. Eventually I worked my way up to being a lead in a musical, and I can't tell you how proud and excited I was. It took all of about a week for my musical to get cancelled due to COVID. Slowly but surely, my senior year fell like dominoes, no final choir concert to close out 6 years of dedication, no prom, no graduation ceremony, no partying with friends, just existing. Gaining weight and slowly losing connection with the outside world except through the one-way glass of my computer monitor showing me youtubers who didn't know I existed and shitty cash-grab Netflix shows. I know this must all come off as somewhat privileged, so trust me when I say that I am eternally grateful that my situation is not worse, but I believe that the two are not mutually exclusive. I'm not gonna sit here and say that your videos saved me, because I didn't need saving, but I can say that the two days where I binged every one of your Arma videos were two days where life felt like a bit more than existing. I guess you sort of get into a ritual of absorbing content that youtube throws at you through the recommended page, and your content was, and is, a refreshing break from whatever the algorithm decided I like. I dunno, this message may have been more for me than you, as theres a good chance this gets buried under the other 1 and a half thousand comments, but I wanted to tell you that this video made me cry. An anime I've never seen, a manga I've never read, a man I've never met talking about them, but I really, really loved it. Thank you for making this, and all of your videos. I hope you find what it is that makes you happy, much love from the other side of the world.
I'm recently turned 36, living with depression and anxiety since I was 24 or earlier. Sometimes I feel my life is amounting to nothing because I haven't made progress by the definitions of society: a house, a wife, children. Worse yet I want these things for my own reasons and feel I am failing myself. Then I change perspective. I am fortunate to have at least some control over my life and most days I can do something that I enjoy. Everyday I am able I should try and make some progress to the major goals I have set for myself, but if circumstances outside my control prevent that then I should try to be happy in the moment. It is a delicate dance between long term contentment and near term happiness, but the ability to switch between these goals allows a sort of mental adaptability necessary to overall mental health and reacting to forces outside our control.
Existence Is Not Enough Living and being alive are not the same thing. While more years being alive can bring, to truly live is not to delay the ending. When you look back do you remember the sadness? Or do you recall the morning's brightness, or perhaps a person's closeness. Why do things that make you unhappy. Stop adding needless filler to your story, instead make every episode a happy memory. Being alive means to outlast and be tough. But that means nothing if you can't love or laugh, because to live, Existence Is Not Enough.
This was beautiful Rimmy and honestly that epilogue made me tear up, I too am 21, recently took up a shitty retail job during the pandemic just to "get by" and it's killing me, I gave up on art and all other creative ambitions just to "survive" and as the title says, that's not enough, I've always seen myself as the driven, the one screaming and kicking into the void to fight that ever looming darkness and it's brought nothing but misery, I've got a lot to think about, some people I should speak too and maybe some tears to shed, thanks buddy.
I'm still trying to get a job. The one closes, without warning, two days before Christmas and soon as I have a job they decide to close due to Corona. I still haven't gotten unemployment. Only good thing to come out of this shit is that I've been able to work on the channel and write.
Darek Baird You should enlist. Lots of benefits and friends that will literally die for you. Also, you can get your revenge on the Chicoms who are literally responsible for all your misery.
Im 21 and just got a job with a restaurant and I'm feeling the same way. Continue to scream into that void man there are many people like you man, my self included. Sometimes it causes trouble but it sometimes just gives us something nice too.
Hey, just jumping in to say: The Bar at the End of Time (written by Rimmy) is an amazing short story. And, while I'm at it, I'd like to recommend one more: Another End of the Empire by Tim Pratt. Last recommendation, if someone is looking for something long and fantasy, check out A Practical Guide to Evil by erraticerrata.
It's amazing to see such an emotional and well-thought video that exposes my very same opinion on GLT ending. The finale broke so many people that most of the fandom doesn't even /want/ an anime adaptation because it would shatter their souls even more.
I sat down and watched Girls Last Tour for the first time a few weeks ago, and what an emotional experience it was. In part, I consider myself envious of Chiito and Yuuri, just going forward and seeing what there is to see while they still can. 2020 has been such a downer year, and I'm not sure if watching the show made me feel better or worse. Nihilism and depression can be cripplingly terrible, but if you spend all your time doing nothing, you'll have nothing fondly to look back on. Never watched this Rimmy guy before, but this was a good video that I needed at this time, I think. Thank you.
Just today I made myself the question "Am I afraid of death?" and the answer was "Yeah, I'm fucking scared", but not because the path ends, what scares me is reaching that point, looking back just to realize that I wasted my life... and yeah, this year can go to hell, social distancing which on some people is very depressing, lockdown after lockdown, and all that shit. Don't worry men, you're for fucking sure not alone, I'm finishing uni (software engineering) and I'll be doing my last year from home, and thats devastating... probably my 22 birthday will be under lockdown again, but to hell with it. I'm not trying to say you should feel better because theres people in worst situation, only that you're not alone, you have all your friends there, but not physically with you. This are very very hard times, but... I can't express what I feel about it... just... we were, are, and will be with you. We are with you until the end of the line. Carlos, Spain :D PS: I was quite okish today, but now, man, now I'm so fucking sad, I fucking bursted into tears at the end of the fucking video.... And at the same time this has helped me quite a lot. Stop wasting my time, start doing all that things I want to do. PS2: I bursted into tears writing this down realizing all of this sad but beautiful things.
Im scared of death because I can't say for sure what happens after , and if there is an afterlife I just can't comperhend that a afterlife would last forever , humans are reminded quite often that death is inevitable so looking at it death is a fucking terrifying thought and the true comperhension of forever , infite , neverending is also pretty scarry , also the thought of just blackness , void , nada , nothing after you die is scarry too
@@deanmilos4909 get used to that feeling. it's called hopelessness. Girl's Last Tour explains that part of life is to understand death is not an enemy; it's simply the ending of the story you wrote. and wheter the entire world or only you heard that story, what matters is that you enjoyed it to its fullest extent. since death is unavoidable, there's no point in fearing it, and wasting your story in the process.
i never thought i'd live to the day when Rimmy - a guy i watch for is military-oriented humor, will talk about anime (much less, one that i absolutely loved) in a legitimate way xD
Hey Rimmy, I can fully feel what you mean. I'm also 21 and I feel so broken inside, that I am once again spiralling down towards a feeling of suicidal tendencies. But you are right, I too should start just a bit again and begin something new and maybe there is something that waits around the corner. Even if not I should simply make that something. Thanks for this video, you made me open up a bit inside towards the beauty of the world. Cheers from Germany, I will keep on watching, whatever the future brings for this channel. Be safe and be happy.
Between you and Rimmy I'm starting to feel old ha ha! (22). Way I approach life is why not keep pushing on. I never know what will be over that next hill and if I was to stop well I'd be choosing not to know anymore. Even if it's nothing over that hill that's still a discovery to me. I don't know if this even helps but wish you luck man. Good luck from the Good Old US of A.
Say strong sazor, I know the feeling, and I know your suffering to well. Do something you love, even if its hard, and talk with your family if you have time for it. Know you are loved, and that someone out there loves you man. I know its a generic response, but as someone who had suicidal tendencies as well, I know the feeling.
Rimmy I have to say thank you, this was one of the most moving things I've ever seen. I don't read manga or watch anime but this video essay has both made me rethink on life and feel that this situation that we are in is not an excuse to just exist and do no more but to do everything I can to enjoy this fleeting life. Rimmy you are amazing and keep being that way. Cheers from the USA
“Existence is not enough” well said rimmy, I have aspergers so existence for me consists of making it enough, I’m only 15 and only found out about the aspergers after moving 2 years ago because of my brothers sucide but despite that I’m determined to make my existence enough because I already have the disadvantages of having aspergers and so I must work to turn them into advantages,As of now I may have lost my friends because of the aspergers but that is all the more reason to fix the problems with it,I want my existence at the very least to be contributing something to society such as working a simple job and at the very most leading US marines into battle, but for now I’m stuck on repeat as I wait for my next therapist appointment to discuss the loss of said friends, I don’t exactly know why I’m writing this right now maybe because I want to share my experience and maybe someone can learn something from it, but anyways thank you for the video rimmy it gave me a chance to reflect on my current situation which I probably wouldn’t have done otherwise.
I often get asked "If you didn't have autism or ADHD, what would be different" the only answer I give is "I wouldn't be me." I also get asked a lot "do you think you're handsome" being a male long haired ginger, my answer is simple "I don't think I'm especially handsome but I'm not ugly or unhappy" it's funny how much people struggle to understand how someone can be contend with who and what they are, especially if they deem themselves better in some regard. I don't know the entire story of your life but I will tell you this. If those "friends" really left you after you got diagnosed with autism, then they weren't your friends to begin with. You always had autism, that's who you are and a label doesn't change anything about you. But I do have to say that autism is a behavioral disorder NOT a disability, you're not incapable of anything, you might struggle, but you can do anything. This also means that autism is never an excuse, you will have trouble with somethings but everyone has that. Never hide behind a label or let it define you.
Honeslty Rimmy This video has took me to tears like i didnt even cry when i finished the show and the manga and bloody hell mate thank you the show helped me get though a very many tough times and turns out after isolations things got worse but a bit better. Also rimmy Your content is just the best and always brings a smile to my face. yea the speillings bad whatever
This was genuinely beautiful mate, for a long time I've struggled with apathy and depression and have this spent a lot of time contemplating life and came to the conclusion. Life is only pointless if u never enjoyed it.
Being 17 years old, this year has been... different for me, I've always been a bit of a shut-in: I didn't like to go out and my parents goes on facebook way more than I do, but most importantly, I wasn't like every normal kid because while I still enjoyed the present, I would always think of my future and the future of the world in general since I was 12, question like "What will I become ?" "Where will I be ?" and "What kind of future can we expect ? The utopian one ? The post-apocalytic one ? A somewhere in the middle ?" those were the question that would fill my mind whenever I was lying on my bed trying to go to sleep. But ever since the virus began those question faded away , replaced by a constant worry for both me and the people close to me, I really was a big ball of worry by March because I thought "This is it , the Apocalypse start here" and MAN, am I glad that I was wrong ! Fast foward to today and I was finally able to smile, I was no longer a pessimist/nihilistic almost emo (can black guys be emo ?) teen because I spent way more time with my family and I reinvested into old interest that I abandonned just like Rimmy ; like reading (mostly fanfiction), playing new games I'd never thought I play (like text-based games or MMO) and I've even joined the r/worldbuilding because I also want to write a story of my own. Overall, we can all agree that this has been a shitty year however I learned that... sometimes bad thing will happen and there's nothing we can do safe for making the best of it and with Lockdown I've been given a lot of time for self-introspection and just doing what I feel like doing and I hope it will be the same for you. Sorry if I'm a little offtrack with the video I just wanted to get this of my chest .
I've learned throughout all the chaos I've been having in my life, I've been seeing things in a negative light and never had a home, but I see my family and realise I'm truly lucky to have them in my life. I'm happy to at least have had them in this destructive life and can die happy as long as we are together during the last moments. Sorry if I'm rambling but I thought to just let out these confusing thoughts into a odd paragraph of feelings.
I don't know why, but when you told us what you had been doing to alleviate the mundane-ness of the lockdown life; hearing you say you got back into writing which was a passion of yours; branching out to different types of content; just fucking climbing a hill you saw and seeing an emu... and contrasting it with the only peaks of the year being negative... It gave me a little bit of hope. You really do have a knack for writing.
I'm starting to think that haachama and Rimmy are neighbors, two SCPs plotting their escape from the prison island, one day they will escape, and when that happens... May God have mercy on our souls...
Funk yeah, I love this format! I remember the feels from when I first saw Girls Last Tour a year or so ago, and it's a story that has stuck with me since.
Having read Girls Last Tour myself and then hearing Rimmy's thoughts on it, and in that vocal tone. It did bring a few tears to my eye, that maybe not all things are bad at a glance, but that it takes a closer look to find the beauty in such things. Good video Rimmy, I won't hope you'll find your silver lining, you'll come across it one day without realizing it.
I don't often comment on any videos... but this was absolutely beautiful and even made me emotional just listening to you describing the series, despite having never watched it myself. I wasn't having a good day and while I wouldn't say it cheered me up exactly, it's something I needed to hear. Something that I think a lot of people probably needed to hear, Rimmy. Thank you.
I feel like this quote might be appropriate "I leave Sisyphus at the foot of the mountain! One always finds one's burden again. But Sisyphus teaches the higher fidelity that negates the gods and raises rocks. He too concludes that all is well. This universe henceforth without a master seems to him neither sterile nor futile. Each atom of that stone, each mineral flake of that night filled mountain, in itself forms a world. The struggle itself toward the heights is enough to fill a man's heart. One must imagine Sisyphus happy"-Camus
I stopped the video as soon as you started describing the hollow feeling, I DON'T LIKE TO THINK ABOUT THAT FEELING RIMMMMYYYYY, I WONT THINK ABOUT IT AND YOU CAN'T MAKE
Damn this is something i just needed for some reason. Everyone just is going insane at the moment because of this stupid virus. And so many things are going wrong in the world at this moment. I trully hope that there will be something that will help you thought these tough times Rimmy, lots of love from the Netherlands.
Not gonna lie wasn't expecting this video but now in all honesty thank you Rimmy. you have honestly inspired me and I'm actually planning some trips and I'm starting a weight lose program because the main thing that is holding my back is my weight. I only exist in my little town, sure people know me and I know people but never anything solid except a friend I have known since I was 1. I have never done anything that has truly made my existence worth it but because of you I'm actually taking the steps to live my life to the fullest. Thank you
The mushroom people are essentially a cleanup crew. They're making the world a safer place for whatever comes after us, Nuko is just a child version of them.
Me: Rimmy uploaded a new video, great I want to see some destruction and action or humour! Rimmy: Nietzsche 2.0. Weebness Boogaloo Me: I came here for gold but I found blue platinum.
I went into their story completely blind. While the title already hinted at it, along with the fact that everyone and everything they met was left behind, but I was very much in denial that they wouldn’t make it out to.. somewhere. The moment that made me realize the ending wasn’t gonna be a purely happy one was when they found the art museum. The very last panel really hit me, showing what Yuu called the last drawing of humanity placed right next to one of the very first. Even still, in the absence of hope, I have genuinly never read anything more beautiful than Girls’ Last Tour. Also yeah I know this video is years old, but for whatever reason the algorythm brought it to me so here I am
Rimmy , your videos always bring happiness or that chest swelling feeling , life sucks right now sure , but you help make it suck that little bit less , i found your channel though those very same filk songs.
Simmilar: If you deeply look into the Lore of Planetside, there is War going on for Hundereds of years now, but you never going to die or to win, if you think to much about it it is very depressing. The greatest Wish of an Immortal is it to die.
Glory to a life well lived. Glory to the fist we hurl at the darkness of death and the questions of our existence. Glory to the ones who found their way to accept the end and find some way to enjoy life until the end. I just turned 21 this year as well and all honesty its been hard to find enjoyment when im surrounded by a plague, leaders who dont lead my country, family issues when im stuck at home, and the lack of finding employment and the lack of motivation to do my classes. Im finding a few things to do to keep my mind off whats going on around me and I feel as if the world is ending before my eyes. I drink, play video games, and play D&D with my friends online but its been hard. This video has helped me a bit to just keep pushing forward enjoy what little I have here for like the title says existence is not enough. My granddad had a saying "Surviving isnt living" and I think Ive been doing too much surviving than living. May your year improve Rimmy. Love from America.
If I see my death coming in gonna laugh at it and enjoy my time while it lasts. Humanity may crumble but I will keep enjoying my little experiences, loving my family, and seeing the beautiful world around me til I cease to be. This has given me a bit to think about and I'm thankful for it.
Hearing Rimmy just talk like that doesn't even make me want to get out of bed, it felt so emotional just hearing how he felt about a manga, and even more for me that i got into anime and mangas this year, and finished my first one just yesterday, i can't shake off the feeling you gave me, so i'll probably just watch the anime and read the manga, to see how much it'll actually strike me, thanks Rimmy now, that i have another selection of a manga to watch now (I only read/watch manga/anime reccomended to me, i don't ussually search for one)
this video was a nice bit of a pep-talk that did manage to atleast try to get me to atleast try caring about life anymore and not just essentially be going through the motions, you saying all this managed to do something nobody else could manage to do, and I'll be forever grateful, i may even try to get back into things id given up in the past like painting minis or looking into the idea of becoming a civil war reenactor, sorry if i seem to be rambling but thank you again for this video and all your content, the last year and a half you're videos, especially your arma videos always managed to make me smile even briefly as they may have from beginning to the few minutes after each one ended thank you again and god speed to you in life no matter what happens in the future, you magnificent human being, you've done so much for me when nothing else could and you deserve the best in life always
Ahh Rimmy, this video is the one that got me into GLT. Would recommend anyone to watch the anime and read the manga heck even the spinoff Girls Last Class if your craving for more. This is such a gem. I'd wish I got into this earlier. Thanks again Rimmy.
Rimmy I would love to read your writing. This video spoke to me greatly. That life is more then survival but doing what makes you happy, makes life worth being life.
You are the reason I watched Girls Last Tour. Even if it was just a passing line in a video, I thoroughly enjoy the series and this video. Cheers dood :)
Hey Rimmy, hearing you talk about the hopeless of the situation in the show and how these two girls decided what felt right at the time when trying to survive... this line kept buzzing around my head: “We took risks, we knew we took them; things have come out against us, and therefore we have no cause for complaint.” (Captain Scott - final entry) For me, this is a source of inspiration. That even then he had no regrets and that despite his venture’s failure it was worth the try, to push the envelope as far as it would go. That looking for things to help with existence isn’t meaningless... even if it is futile. Stay safe everyone 👍
Wow... That was goddamn beautiful. Really brought up all the feelings I had when I first finished the manga which left me utterly destroyed. twice. Truly underated. Saying it was a bittersweet ending doesn't do it justice and I think your video managed to convey that. I think I'll re-read it again after this. Thanks rimmy :) Oh also I think you'll like "a place further than the universe" if you want something uhh...emotionally touching? hard to explain feelings... type of series. Cheers mate
I second that A Place Further Than The Universe, was a great ride of emotions, damn episode 12... I'd also recommend Houseki No Kuni/Land of the Lustrous for an absolutely beautiful looking and sounding show especially with the music for Cinnabar. As well as Yuru Camp for just a nice slice of pure comfort in these... very uncertain times.

@@Shaowd this might actually be one of the greatest shows I ever watched. There are some loose ends, not everything is perfect. The ending alone, combined with the emotion-heavy message is one of the greatest things this medium has achieved. I guess I can never watch the anime again, knowing their twisted, but fitting, fate.
I havent watched the anime or read the manga this video made me cry i dont know what to dont know what to do with my human life i wanted hope to live forever but whats the point when my family is going to be gone qhen thetes nothing to gain then what will be the point i just want to die with a smile.

It's been years and I still think that this anime is one of the best.
There used to be a stupid joke here, but after watching the video I feel empty. It resonates with me on a very deep level. The feeling of apathy, the feeling that all you're doing is just repeating the same thing, and that no matter what you try it's all ultimately meaningless is one well known to me. Especially after entering university in October last year, I always doubted the validity of a choice I made, a choice that will define my life from now on. After pondering for a long time I reached the conclusion, that it ultimately doesn't matter. My hesitation, my apathy, my feeling of hopelessness, they all don't matter. As long as you can laugh genuinely, all will be fine. You got something out of your existence. No matter how miniscule it is, every moment of joy counts. It's worth it to go on for those small moments. And to @Rimmy - Downunder Gaming, you shouldn't feel bad about what you're doing. Every video of yours brings something to all of your viewers. A mark on the world that no-one can erase. Everything will be fine, so if the world makes you feel bad, just tell it to bugger off instead of bothering you, you have already done something amazing.
Same here I can't say how cause there's no words to describe it just say strong
Yes.
Well said.
obligatory "what was the joke?"
(upvoted btw.)
Man I started uni in October and feel the exact same. Gave up rowing as I thought it would get in the way of my social but then realised it was the only thing that gave my life meaning. I've been speaking to a councillor and that's helped and I think I'm starting to turn shit around, but rimmys vids are always a highlight and I hope both you guys find a calling and life becomes interesting again, as I struggle to find that myself
Watching girls last tour introduced me to one of my favorite emotions, that being the feeling of an empty hopelessness. Imagine how it felt to see ruins of a long dead civilization and just having everything, including the girls, ignore what happened there or who lived there. Humanity may think that just because we do something automatically makes it important to the universe, but in reality we are just a bunch of monkeys just running about on a ball of dirt. The feeling of hopelessness this can bring can be crushing, but seeing their(the girls) reaction being that of joy for the moment they are living in makes that same hopelessness feel hollow. After various rewatches I realized something, in our reality we may be just a speck of dust in a vast uncaring void but that doesn’t mean that I can’t care about life. My life is my time to prove my existence to myself and not to the universe at large. When I am at the end of my life I hope to laugh and smile at the empty hopelessness that allowed me to enjoy every second of it.
I love when youtubers just sit down and get real, kinda wish rimmy made video essays. Been feeling like that after the arma tutorial
Gigguk from time to time just writes video essays about the essence of anime, my personal favorites are his "The Decade Anime Grew Up" video and his video on ending animes

Rimmy is that weird intersection between SovietWomble, Lindsay Ellis and Hiding in Public and I’m loving it ^^
Edit: Seriously though, it is kind of... I don’t know... inspiring to see various RUclipsrs branch out into different kinds of content? Exploring different ways to express themselves through media? There’s a certain curse, I think, when it comes to RUclipsdom that locks a lot of people into neverending feedback loops of always creating the same kind of content, lest they risk angering the algorithm. Soundsmith mentions how much he regrets always making TF2 videos, since once he got in, he found it basically impossible to work on passion projects unrelated to TF2. People like Rimmy and Soundsmith take really big risks when they try to branch into different fields; and I think in Rimmy’s case, it’s especially impressive, because a candid, emotional, short video essay about an anime is about the last thing I would have expected from the guy who had a Zeus mount a banner onto an aircraft tow truck and loudly proclaimed “YEE,” and, I cannot stress this enough, “HAAAW” as he and his command team barreled into an active war zone.
I dunno, it’s... beautiful, seeing different sides to content creators every now and then.
This is beautiful.
And for some reason it gives me hope for the future of humanity.
Ironic, because of the video
Well shit, I've never even heard of this and I got a little choked up. Well done Rimmy, hell of a year to turn 21.
If you want to feel choked up I suggest watching AnoHana: The Flower We Saw That Day
It hit me pretty hard.
@@megubean Fuck you for reminding me of that you fucking bastard now i have to feel those feels again.
or literally go for the highest rated movies, (ranked around 70-80 on most lists) kimi no na wa. that motherfucker had me crying too.
Suka Suka too.
That awkward moment when you realise Rimmy's younger than you when you thought he was mid-20s
Damn you Rimmy for making me, a grown man, cry because i can't show you the joy I find in living. I leave this comment, my first comment on any social media platform in over 26 years, in the faint hope that it somehow, against all reason, brings at least a small amount joy into your life.
I just want to say thank you Rimmy. As of late, I've been fearful. I'm only 18 yet this year has reminded me of my mortality so much and I never was able to process the idea of me dying as a kid. For many night I've been fearful, afraid of the day when my lights go out, fearful of the morning that I just won't be here anymore. It's kept me up much more than I'd like to admit. But this video helped me. It's given me this newfound feeling, that isn't hope, but is acceptance of what will come. I know I'll die, but I want to die now, having been able to say, just like you and them, "living was the best". And you helped me realize this. I know this will probably get swallowed in the comment's section, much like any memory of me will get swallowed up after I die, but I just want you to know you've helped me feel better about the world. Thank you.
I personally came to that realisation on my own because I tend to think to much at night, when there is nothing but me and my own thoughts and I came to the conclusion that I only care about making my life one worth living, because I will die one day and I have no say in that fact, so I might as well do something for those that will live after me, I think both in a Nihilistic and a hopeful manner, I want to believe that what I choose to do with my life will make the world better, and I have plans and ideas that I will put into place no matter how grueling the work might be.
I guess that with accepting the idea of death comes a certain peace and understanding of wanting to do more, I think that people who are selfish and only live for themselves are the most afraid of their eventual death, they want to change that fact, and they swim against the current and hurt others for their selfishness, I can only do something for those that will come after, not fully for myself or for those before me, but for those ahead of me, I am supposed to build a part of the path that will lead ahead, I am supposed to plant a tree whose fruit I will never taste, I am supposed to do something that I will never see to its fullest extent and I am fine with that.
I may only be 22 but many years of loneliness, isolation and a defiant spirit have taught me more than anything else could have, how many times I could have given up but I didn't I chose not to give up without any clear reason as to why except I would die regretting my life, I knew I couldn't be satisfied with my life or with my death, I believe that even though I will fear and most likely cry at my deathbed, I know that I will be proud of the life I led.
same bro something beautiful gets created when you put your heart to something and I believe he really did that with this video
I came to this realization aswell and it terrified me and kept me up for hours at a time and i was only 13 im now 15 not a huge difference but i...i think ive finally reached my peace i think I'll be accepting of the time that will eventually come when i die whether it be a fight for my life and i know i will die or if it's just something else... something blissful just like this ending in the manga and anime represented in the video.
I hope by leaving a trace on the internet by commenting, writing, doing art, and various other things or writing and doing art in real life will leave my memory which that maybe just maybe people will remember me just for a little while and for me... that'd be enough.
Well, I think there's hope. I think there's afterlife. And it can be a lot better depending on one decision that we make. I mean really, isn't it a dissapointing thought that this life here is all there is? Honestly, this is just not enough. But I've found somebody who fulfilled me, yes, I can't see or hear him, but he's a great man to trust with my life. It's Jesus. And every time I think of him, I get filled with hope, remember what I'm here for and where I'm going.
I've believed that there is a way to live forever and be happy and help people, not to be proud of myself, but to be a reflection of a hope that I was given.
I rewatch this show every year, it makes me feel happy thru sadness. I wish they turned the entire manga into anime. It has such a great ending.
We need more rimmy essays
Didn't expect this from a dude who commits war crimes for a living
And now, for something completely different.
Jesus i can hear it in his voice too
We all can
The fear of death and its inevitability, combined with two likable characters, drives this story. We root for Chiito and Yuri, we want them to succeed while in our hearts, we know that death is the only option which awaits them in the wasteland. Ultimately it is a story about the acceptance of our fate, and what we make of it.

Rimmy proves once again he is the best anime of all time
Hey Rimmy, I only recently found your videos through Civ of all things, and you've quickly become one of my absolute favorite RUclipsrs. I turned 18 a few days ago, as well as graduated High School a bit over a month ago, and I feel a lot of your pain, I'm supposed to be living it up right now, but instead I'm stuck at home.
Depression is something that I've always struggled with, mostly due to a shitty roll of the genetic dice, but also some outside factors. I found theatre as an outlet this year, and realized my passion for acting and being on stage. Eventually I worked my way up to being a lead in a musical, and I can't tell you how proud and excited I was. It took all of about a week for my musical to get cancelled due to COVID. Slowly but surely, my senior year fell like dominoes, no final choir concert to close out 6 years of dedication, no prom, no graduation ceremony, no partying with friends, just existing. Gaining weight and slowly losing connection with the outside world except through the one-way glass of my computer monitor showing me youtubers who didn't know I existed and shitty cash-grab Netflix shows. I know this must all come off as somewhat privileged, so trust me when I say that I am eternally grateful that my situation is not worse, but I believe that the two are not mutually exclusive.
I'm not gonna sit here and say that your videos saved me, because I didn't need saving, but I can say that the two days where I binged every one of your Arma videos were two days where life felt like a bit more than existing. I guess you sort of get into a ritual of absorbing content that youtube throws at you through the recommended page, and your content was, and is, a refreshing break from whatever the algorithm decided I like.
I dunno, this message may have been more for me than you, as theres a good chance this gets buried under the other 1 and a half thousand comments, but I wanted to tell you that this video made me cry. An anime I've never seen, a manga I've never read, a man I've never met talking about them, but I really, really loved it. Thank you for making this, and all of your videos. I hope you find what it is that makes you happy, much love from the other side of the world.
I'm recently turned 36, living with depression and anxiety since I was 24 or earlier. Sometimes I feel my life is amounting to nothing because I haven't made progress by the definitions of society: a house, a wife, children. Worse yet I want these things for my own reasons and feel I am failing myself. Then I change perspective. I am fortunate to have at least some control over my life and most days I can do something that I enjoy. Everyday I am able I should try and make some progress to the major goals I have set for myself, but if circumstances outside my control prevent that then I should try to be happy in the moment. It is a delicate dance between long term contentment and near term happiness, but the ability to switch between these goals allows a sort of mental adaptability necessary to overall mental health and reacting to forces outside our control.
Existence Is Not Enough
Living and being alive are not the same thing.
While more years being alive can bring,
to truly live is not to delay the ending.
When you look back do you remember the sadness?
Or do you recall the morning's brightness,
or perhaps a person's closeness.
Why do things that make you unhappy.
Stop adding needless filler to your story,
instead make every episode a happy memory.
Being alive means to outlast and be tough.
But that means nothing if you can't love or laugh,
because to live, Existence Is Not Enough.
Bruh I’m dead then 😂
@@moosesues8887 bruuuh I wrote this poem 2 years ago how far in the comments did you scroll??
Beautiful.
This was beautiful Rimmy and honestly that epilogue made me tear up, I too am 21, recently took up a shitty retail job during the pandemic just to "get by" and it's killing me, I gave up on art and all other creative ambitions just to "survive" and as the title says, that's not enough, I've always seen myself as the driven, the one screaming and kicking into the void to fight that ever looming darkness and it's brought nothing but misery, I've got a lot to think about, some people I should speak too and maybe some tears to shed, thanks buddy.
I'm still trying to get a job. The one closes, without warning, two days before Christmas and soon as I have a job they decide to close due to Corona. I still haven't gotten unemployment. Only good thing to come out of this shit is that I've been able to work on the channel and write.

You should enlist. Lots of benefits and friends that will literally die for you.
Also, you can get your revenge on the Chicoms who are literally responsible for all your misery.
Bryan Merrill I’ve been thinking about that for awhile now. Don’t know what a chicoms are though.
Im 21 and just got a job with a restaurant and I'm feeling the same way. Continue to scream into that void man there are many people like you man, my self included. Sometimes it causes trouble but it sometimes just gives us something nice too.
I'm sorry for making this joke rimmy but I had to

Hey, just jumping in to say: The Bar at the End of Time (written by Rimmy) is an amazing short story. And, while I'm at it, I'd like to recommend one more: Another End of the Empire by Tim Pratt. Last recommendation, if someone is looking for something long and fantasy, check out A Practical Guide to Evil by erraticerrata.
That last one certainly grabbed my attention.
@@EvilOverlord1662 Its great, it really starts picking up by the 2nd Ark.
It's amazing to see such an emotional and well-thought video that exposes my very same opinion on GLT ending. The finale broke so many people that most of the fandom doesn't even /want/ an anime adaptation because it would shatter their souls even more.
Rimmy just so you know we all love u even tho you have had a bad year you have made everyone else’s year better
I sat down and watched Girls Last Tour for the first time a few weeks ago, and what an emotional experience it was. In part, I consider myself envious of Chiito and Yuuri, just going forward and seeing what there is to see while they still can. 2020 has been such a downer year, and I'm not sure if watching the show made me feel better or worse.
Nihilism and depression can be cripplingly terrible, but if you spend all your time doing nothing, you'll have nothing fondly to look back on.
Never watched this Rimmy guy before, but this was a good video that I needed at this time, I think. Thank you.
Just today I made myself the question "Am I afraid of death?" and the answer was "Yeah, I'm fucking scared", but not because the path ends, what scares me is reaching that point, looking back just to realize that I wasted my life... and yeah, this year can go to hell, social distancing which on some people is very depressing, lockdown after lockdown, and all that shit.
Don't worry men, you're for fucking sure not alone, I'm finishing uni (software engineering) and I'll be doing my last year from home, and thats devastating... probably my 22 birthday will be under lockdown again, but to hell with it. I'm not trying to say you should feel better because theres people in worst situation, only that you're not alone, you have all your friends there, but not physically with you.
This are very very hard times, but... I can't express what I feel about it... just... we were, are, and will be with you.
We are with you until the end of the line.
Carlos, Spain :D
PS: I was quite okish today, but now, man, now I'm so fucking sad, I fucking bursted into tears at the end of the fucking video.... And at the same time this has helped me quite a lot. Stop wasting my time, start doing all that things I want to do.
PS2: I bursted into tears writing this down realizing all of this sad but beautiful things.
its alright. youve done well
Im scared of death because I can't say for sure what happens after , and if there is an afterlife I just can't comperhend that a afterlife would last forever , humans are reminded quite often that death is inevitable so looking at it death is a fucking terrifying thought and the true comperhension of forever , infite , neverending is also pretty scarry , also the thought of just blackness , void , nada , nothing after you die is scarry too
@@deanmilos4909 get used to that feeling. it's called hopelessness. Girl's Last Tour explains that part of life is to understand death is not an enemy; it's simply the ending of the story you wrote. and wheter the entire world or only you heard that story, what matters is that you enjoyed it to its fullest extent. since death is unavoidable, there's no point in fearing it, and wasting your story in the process.
@@perpetualsystems I get that but to me the thought of death has terrified me since I was a child
I gotta say, this is one of the best videos i've seen in years. Great work.
Oh man this video made me cry, I feel slightly better now.
Frickin' love ya dude. You're giving me feels.
i never thought i'd live to the day when Rimmy - a guy i watch for is military-oriented humor, will talk about anime (much less, one that i absolutely loved) in a legitimate way xD
Perfect rimmy, you’ve summed up what I thought about the series in a perfect video.
Hey Rimmy, I can fully feel what you mean. I'm also 21 and I feel so broken inside, that I am once again spiralling down towards a feeling of suicidal tendencies.
But you are right, I too should start just a bit again and begin something new and maybe there is something that waits around the corner. Even if not I should simply make that something.
Thanks for this video, you made me open up a bit inside towards the beauty of the world.
Cheers from Germany, I will keep on watching, whatever the future brings for this channel.
Be safe and be happy.
Between you and Rimmy I'm starting to feel old ha ha! (22). Way I approach life is why not keep pushing on. I never know what will be over that next hill and if I was to stop well I'd be choosing not to know anymore. Even if it's nothing over that hill that's still a discovery to me. I don't know if this even helps but wish you luck man.
Good luck from the Good Old US of A.
Say strong sazor, I know the feeling, and I know your suffering to well.
Do something you love, even if its hard, and talk with your family if you have time for it. Know you are loved, and that someone out there loves you man.
I know its a generic response, but as someone who had suicidal tendencies as well, I know the feeling.
God loves you dude, and He’s must waiting for you to run into His arms. He’ll take your burdens upon Himself if you just ask Him.
Rimmy I have to say thank you, this was one of the most moving things I've ever seen. I don't read manga or watch anime but this video essay has both made me rethink on life and feel that this situation that we are in is not an excuse to just exist and do no more but to do everything I can to enjoy this fleeting life. Rimmy you are amazing and keep being that way. Cheers from the USA
“Existence is not enough” well said rimmy, I have aspergers so existence for me consists of making it enough, I’m only 15 and only found out about the aspergers after moving 2 years ago because of my brothers sucide but despite that I’m determined to make my existence enough because I already have the disadvantages of having aspergers and so I must work to turn them into advantages,As of now I may have lost my friends because of the aspergers but that is all the more reason to fix the problems with it,I want my existence at the very least to be contributing something to society such as working a simple job and at the very most leading US marines into battle, but for now I’m stuck on repeat as I wait for my next therapist appointment to discuss the loss of said friends, I don’t exactly know why I’m writing this right now maybe because I want to share my experience and maybe someone can learn something from it, but anyways thank you for the video rimmy it gave me a chance to reflect on my current situation which I probably wouldn’t have done otherwise.
I often get asked "If you didn't have autism or ADHD, what would be different" the only answer I give is "I wouldn't be me." I also get asked a lot "do you think you're handsome" being a male long haired ginger, my answer is simple "I don't think I'm especially handsome but I'm not ugly or unhappy" it's funny how much people struggle to understand how someone can be contend with who and what they are, especially if they deem themselves better in some regard. I don't know the entire story of your life but I will tell you this. If those "friends" really left you after you got diagnosed with autism, then they weren't your friends to begin with. You always had autism, that's who you are and a label doesn't change anything about you. But I do have to say that autism is a behavioral disorder NOT a disability, you're not incapable of anything, you might struggle, but you can do anything. This also means that autism is never an excuse, you will have trouble with somethings but everyone has that. Never hide behind a label or let it define you.
Damn it rimmy, I was trying to forget this masterpiece ever since bawling my eyes out finishing it and now you publish this.
Thank you funny Australian swear man, I didn’t know I needed a good cry today
Honeslty Rimmy This video has took me to tears like i didnt even cry when i finished the show and the manga and bloody hell mate thank you the show helped me get though a very many tough times and turns out after isolations things got worse but a bit better. Also rimmy Your content is just the best and always brings a smile to my face. yea the speillings bad whatever
Usually it's just Kurzgesagt that makes me feel existential dread on here....
Bloody fantastic video, Rimmy. Thank you.
Rimmy the expert who can make people laugh, and make people cry. Damn
I remember being really happy when I saw the ending because I knew that it was the best way for them to go
It's rare to see a character you loved dies and be happy for them
I disagree. Suicide is never the answer.
Took me long enough to see this one, the last volume dropped 2 days ago in France. And I really wanted to thank you for this video.
This was genuinely beautiful mate, for a long time I've struggled with apathy and depression and have this spent a lot of time contemplating life and came to the conclusion. Life is only pointless if u never enjoyed it.
That was the most heartfelt and beautiful thing ive ever watched on youtube. I hope your doing better. And keep up the amazing content
Being 17 years old, this year has been... different for me, I've always been a bit of a shut-in: I didn't like to go out and my parents goes on facebook way more than I do, but most importantly, I wasn't like every normal kid because while I still enjoyed the present, I would always think of my future and the future of the world in general since I was 12, question like "What will I become ?" "Where will I be ?" and "What kind of future can we expect ? The utopian one ? The post-apocalytic one ? A somewhere in the middle ?" those were the question that would fill my mind whenever I was lying on my bed trying to go to sleep. But ever since the virus began those question faded away , replaced by a constant worry for both me and the people close to me, I really was a big ball of worry by March because I thought "This is it , the Apocalypse start here" and MAN, am I glad that I was wrong ! Fast foward to today and I was finally able to smile, I was no longer a pessimist/nihilistic almost emo (can black guys be emo ?) teen because I spent way more time with my family and I reinvested into old interest that I abandonned just like Rimmy ; like reading (mostly fanfiction), playing new games I'd never thought I play (like text-based games or MMO) and I've even joined the r/worldbuilding because I also want to write a story of my own.
Overall, we can all agree that this has been a shitty year however I learned that... sometimes bad thing will happen and there's nothing we can do safe for making the best of it and with Lockdown I've been given a lot of time for self-introspection and just doing what I feel like doing and I hope it will be the same for you.
Sorry if I'm a little offtrack with the video I just wanted to get this of my chest .
i was reading seriously....until "can black guys be emo?" that got me off guard lol
I've learned throughout all the chaos I've been having in my life, I've been seeing things in a negative light and never had a home, but I see my family and realise I'm truly lucky to have them in my life. I'm happy to at least have had them in this destructive life and can die happy as long as we are together during the last moments.
Sorry if I'm rambling but I thought to just let out these confusing thoughts into a odd paragraph of feelings.
One of the best video essay i've ever seen. Thank you so much for making me love this manga even more
Rimmy, I gotta tell you... This is probably the best video you've ever made, holy shit.

I don't know why, but when you told us what you had been doing to alleviate the mundane-ness of the lockdown life; hearing you say you got back into writing which was a passion of yours; branching out to different types of content; just fucking climbing a hill you saw and seeing an emu... and contrasting it with the only peaks of the year being negative...
It gave me a little bit of hope. You really do have a knack for writing.
Every time I see you have posted a new video my day instantly gets better no matter the circumstances, thank you for just making videos as you do
I'm starting to think that haachama and Rimmy are neighbors, two SCPs plotting their escape from the prison island, one day they will escape, and when that happens... May God have mercy on our souls...
What if, haachama's foster parent is rimmy?
Haachama Chamaaaaaa
An unexpected reference from an unexpected video. The cult grows.
japanese spy x australian guy
@@piscessoedroen what if Rimmy just pretends to be a cute anime girl on his off days?
genuinely one of the most beautiful videos I've had the pleasure of watching
Thank you, Rimmy. Thank you for a message that I didn't know I needed.
Funk yeah, I love this format! I remember the feels from when I first saw Girls Last Tour a year or so ago, and it's a story that has stuck with me since.
Having read Girls Last Tour myself and then hearing Rimmy's thoughts on it, and in that vocal tone.
It did bring a few tears to my eye, that maybe not all things are bad at a glance, but that it takes a closer look to find the beauty in such things.
Good video Rimmy, I won't hope you'll find your silver lining, you'll come across it one day without realizing it.
I don't often comment on any videos... but this was absolutely beautiful and even made me emotional just listening to you describing the series, despite having never watched it myself. I wasn't having a good day and while I wouldn't say it cheered me up exactly, it's something I needed to hear. Something that I think a lot of people probably needed to hear, Rimmy. Thank you.
I feel like this quote might be appropriate
"I leave Sisyphus at the foot of the mountain! One always finds one's burden again. But Sisyphus teaches the higher fidelity that negates the gods and raises rocks. He too concludes that all is well. This universe henceforth without a master seems to him neither sterile nor futile. Each atom of that stone, each mineral flake of that night filled mountain, in itself forms a world. The struggle itself toward the heights is enough to fill a man's heart. One must imagine Sisyphus happy"-Camus
I stopped the video as soon as you started describing the hollow feeling, I DON'T LIKE TO THINK ABOUT THAT FEELING RIMMMMYYYYY, I WONT THINK ABOUT IT AND YOU CAN'T MAKE
Damn this is something i just needed for some reason. Everyone just is going insane at the moment because of this stupid virus. And so many things are going wrong in the world at this moment. I trully hope that there will be something that will help you thought these tough times Rimmy, lots of love from the Netherlands.
Not gonna lie wasn't expecting this video but now in all honesty thank you Rimmy. you have honestly inspired me and I'm actually planning some trips and I'm starting a weight lose program because the main thing that is holding my back is my weight. I only exist in my little town, sure people know me and I know people but never anything solid except a friend I have known since I was 1. I have never done anything that has truly made my existence worth it but because of you I'm actually taking the steps to live my life to the fullest. Thank you
Genuinely enjoy you talking about tv and movies and mangas, pls do more
The mushroom people are essentially a cleanup crew. They're making the world a safer place for whatever comes after us, Nuko is just a child version of them.
Me: Rimmy uploaded a new video, great I want to see some destruction and action or humour!
Rimmy: Nietzsche 2.0. Weebness Boogaloo
Me: I came here for gold but I found blue platinum.
I went into their story completely blind. While the title already hinted at it, along with the fact that everyone and everything they met was left behind, but I was very much in denial that they wouldn’t make it out to.. somewhere. The moment that made me realize the ending wasn’t gonna be a purely happy one was when they found the art museum. The very last panel really hit me, showing what Yuu called the last drawing of humanity placed right next to one of the very first. Even still, in the absence of hope, I have genuinly never read anything more beautiful than Girls’ Last Tour. Also yeah I know this video is years old, but for whatever reason the algorythm brought it to me so here I am
Rimmy , your videos always bring happiness or that chest swelling feeling , life sucks right now sure , but you help make it suck that little bit less , i found your channel though those very same filk songs.
Never thought I see Rimmy analysing one of my favourite anime/manga. Nice work
Simmilar:
If you deeply look into the Lore of Planetside, there is War going on for Hundereds of years now, but you never going to die or to win, if you think to much about it it is very depressing. The greatest Wish of an Immortal is it to die.
Then those immortals are doing life wrong.
You're right my lord it's such a beauty, perfection
Glory to a life well lived. Glory to the fist we hurl at the darkness of death and the questions of our existence. Glory to the ones who found their way to accept the end and find some way to enjoy life until the end.
I just turned 21 this year as well and all honesty its been hard to find enjoyment when im surrounded by a plague, leaders who dont lead my country, family issues when im stuck at home, and the lack of finding employment and the lack of motivation to do my classes. Im finding a few things to do to keep my mind off whats going on around me and I feel as if the world is ending before my eyes. I drink, play video games, and play D&D with my friends online but its been hard.
This video has helped me a bit to just keep pushing forward enjoy what little I have here for like the title says existence is not enough. My granddad had a saying "Surviving isnt living" and I think Ive been doing too much surviving than living. May your year improve Rimmy. Love from America.
God damn, now I need to add this to my watch list, Thanks Rimmy
Yes.. they are right, existence is not enough..
Time to kick the bucket, I had my shot at life
..what
aaah what....
N-no that's not quite the message.
Another one bites the dust
If I see my death coming in gonna laugh at it and enjoy my time while it lasts. Humanity may crumble but I will keep enjoying my little experiences, loving my family, and seeing the beautiful world around me til I cease to be. This has given me a bit to think about and I'm thankful for it.
Hearing Rimmy just talk like that doesn't even make me want to get out of bed, it felt so emotional just hearing how he felt about a manga, and even more for me that i got into anime and mangas this year, and finished my first one just yesterday, i can't shake off the feeling you gave me, so i'll probably just watch the anime and read the manga, to see how much it'll actually strike me, thanks Rimmy now, that i have another selection of a manga to watch now (I only read/watch manga/anime reccomended to me, i don't ussually search for one)
Oh God he's turning into more and more of a weeb
Don’t think I missed the pfp, watch before you get banned for friendly fire
@@angusc-w5226 friendly fire is part of weeb culture
always have been
I see yout PTRD and I raise my Sharchitect
*cocks shotgun* heheheheh, he always has been. *fires shotgun*
this video was a nice bit of a pep-talk that did manage to atleast try to get me to atleast try caring about life anymore and not just essentially be going through the motions, you saying all this managed to do something nobody else could manage to do, and I'll be forever grateful, i may even try to get back into things id given up in the past like painting minis or looking into the idea of becoming a civil war reenactor, sorry if i seem to be rambling but thank you again for this video and all your content, the last year and a half you're videos, especially your arma videos always managed to make me smile even briefly as they may have from beginning to the few minutes after each one ended
thank you again and god speed to you in life no matter what happens in the future, you magnificent human being, you've done so much for me when nothing else could and you deserve the best in life always
Ahh Rimmy, this video is the one that got me into GLT. Would recommend anyone to watch the anime and read the manga heck even the spinoff Girls Last Class if your craving for more. This is such a gem. I'd wish I got into this earlier. Thanks again Rimmy.
Rimmy I would love to read your writing. This video spoke to me greatly. That life is more then survival but doing what makes you happy, makes life worth being life.
When did this become an anime channel? Are you discount Gigguk now?
First Womble, now Gigguk. What next?
Rise of the Weebs
@@Taki_4869 He is becoming a man of culture
Nah mate, he's better. He's Aussie Gigguk
@@Bacchasnail Basically just The Hentai Man but doubling the aussie and snapping the hentai.
You are the reason I watched Girls Last Tour. Even if it was just a passing line in a video, I thoroughly enjoy the series and this video. Cheers dood :)
Hey Rimmy, hearing you talk about the hopeless of the situation in the show and how these two girls decided what felt right at the time when trying to survive... this line kept buzzing around my head:
“We took risks, we knew we took them; things have come out against us, and therefore we have no cause for complaint.” (Captain Scott - final entry)
For me, this is a source of inspiration. That even then he had no regrets and that despite his venture’s failure it was worth the try, to push the envelope as far as it would go.
That looking for things to help with existence isn’t meaningless... even if it is futile.
Stay safe everyone 👍
This is my favorite video you've ever made. It made me feel content with what's happened this year.
2020 has paved way for a new genre of public speaking: Existential Dread Speakers
Great show. One of the best I seen in some time. Bitter sweet gut punch that made me feel.
Wow... That was goddamn beautiful. Really brought up all the feelings I had when I first finished the manga which left me utterly destroyed. twice. Truly underated. Saying it was a bittersweet ending doesn't do it justice and I think your video managed to convey that. I think I'll re-read it again after this. Thanks rimmy :)
Oh also I think you'll like "a place further than the universe" if you want something uhh...emotionally touching? hard to explain feelings... type of series. Cheers mate
I second that A Place Further Than The Universe, was a great ride of emotions, damn episode 12... I'd also recommend Houseki No Kuni/Land of the Lustrous for an absolutely beautiful looking and sounding show especially with the music for Cinnabar. As well as Yuru Camp for just a nice slice of pure comfort in these... very uncertain times.
I watched the show so I could watch this video, and now I’m crying
Thanks Rimmy
Oh god, he's becoming an AniTuber
He'll become the Anime man, probably leaving out the hentai videos.
@@combrade-t ya know, I normally enjoy Rimmys content more, so I'd watch him over joey
@@combrade-t you fool
@@RimmyDownunder So that's with the hentai videos then?
@@combrade-t YOU and ME and HER coming soon
Damn Rimmy, I just had a rollercoaster of emotions watching this video. Thank you for the experience
Should read "to you immortal", it's about how existing is too much.
It used to be a master piece but it got very bad in the whole Bon Arc
Dear god Rimmy. I have never seen or read this story. Your description gave me goosebumps. Like this hit me hard.
