Sad fact:
we saw there was minimum of 1101 emails, and her mom died 3 years ago, which means Shirase at least sends 1 email per day to her mom, that's how much Shirase misses her
I always thought that the emails were from her mother to her, and that there was no signal and the daughter didn't realise her mother was reaching out to her. I thought it was a case of no signal and the emails not reaching the daughter, meaning that she won't ever get the chance to respond to the emails as if her mother is still alive. And I thought her mother had died in the shack with the laptop, but that she had simply moved into a corner or something before dying so no one would see her body.
Sorry if that's a morbid conclusion, and sorry that this comment is so lengthy
The real question is... how much time would be to read every single email in that computer?
@@arturoayala1004 If you were in that chair instead of her, would you even try to read every single email out of the 1101 that she sent? Keep in mind that the scenario I described is hypothetical and not true. Would you want to try to read them, knowing your parent has been dead three years and that you didn't know that they had been trying to reach you?
I personally would turn the laptop to someone else and would ask for help after the first email
M Nicholson well, I could... or i just could put the “already read” or “erase” the mesages too...
@@4realtea SPOILER - She died on an outing, they show the scene where Toudou realizes she went missing. If she made it back to that base, the rescue team would've definitely of looked there. Also if the emails were from her mom, it would've changed the last scene of the series where Shirase recieves a single email from mom with the picture of the aurora Borealis. Instead of a single email, her phone inbox would've been flooded. I know you ssaid hypothetical, it just changes the structure of those scenes.
Not gonna fall apart. Not gonna do it.
*sees the number increase*
*sobs in the corner*
Ah you are back once more
Stop being everywhere I look
*hands some tissues*
Oh lord this scene. It needed no words to just break my heart. It makes the audience and her soundless think how lonely she was. I started crying before she did ToT
*sees the number keep going up*
*weeps uncontrollably*
This show was unbelievably well written, and I haven't cried so much watching an anime as I did with this one.
I loved this show also.
By the way, have you tried Violet Evergarden?
wth is even happening in the video, she's reading about the email she sent to her mom? why so many unread?
@@riahisama Watch the anime to find out.
Riahisama it has a lot of meaning. You gotta watch to understand unless you don’t care about spoilers
Made in abyss broke me
Well Crunchy, you just made hundreds of people around the world all unexpectedly cry today.
I didn't cry had a bug in my eye or something
@@playmaker... its not a bug its a feature!
For her, her mom left and she was waiting and even after the news it never sank in and she just kept waiting. Seeing that all of her emails were never opened finally made int sink in that her mother was actually gone forever.
Shirase's mother's body was never recovered nor returned to Japan for a funeral, presumably buried under tons of snow and ice after the blizzards. Shirase had some slim hope that her mother may be alive (with no remains discovered, there was no official confirmation of her mother's death). Shirase had no period of mourning and no idea of her mother's fate and kept on sending those emails in hopes she was alive to open and reply to them. The realization hits hard when Shirase sees all those unopened emails all those years.
When they found the lap top that showed she was dead but only several days later when they had defrosted it did she get to read that. It a bit hard to catch but they go from finding the lap top to back to home base with no travel shown so some were confused and of course normal critics were you can trun something on that been at below zero for years and have it turn on but they actually had left the temporary base they found it and traveled back to main base assume a few days later plus what ever time it took to properly defrost the lap top. Note it a hardened lap top for that environment. @@artytoons
I’ll never forget how hard I ugly cried during this scene
@@LautaGaming Even after the first time I watched it, my eyes kept getting moist.
I still do ☹️
What makes it sad is that the mom left her laptop back at the base, and went back to retrieve it, only to get lost in the blizzard all so she could still read Shirase's emails.
She died?
@@JDarkAngeI didn't you watch the show?
@@nathanstewart4131 obviously I did not...
Will sometime. In the meantime, im assuming she died.
I had one question. Mother was last heard on the radio commenting on the beauty of the stars. As far as I can tell, the weather was a blizzard which would render all visibility of the sky pretty much null and void
@@funveeable she ain't talking bout the stars in the sky
Idk why but I was hoping for some anime miracle where her mom was still alive, but the hard truth crushed me. But it gave me closure like shirase
The saddest part is that she knew her mom was dead. But she was utterly unable to mourn, which is why she kept sending her e-mails.
@@NeoArashi yeah Man!! She knew, but as Shirase said to Kimari before they went to Australia, she could not escape the illusion that her mother would come back anytime, no matter how unlikely, she just waited for her mommy for 3 years.
@@NeoArashi Her mom's body was never found, most likely buried under a ton of snow and ice...and Shirase clinging on to the slimmest margin of hope all those years.
It's even sadder when you realize that in a way she really has to accept her mom was gone a long time ago because every email she sent ever since she started, were "unread."
This video should actually be titled "How to break a heart in 2 and a 1/2 minutes."
I started crying a minute in lol
This anime continues to stay at my #1 top anime of all time. I watched it at a point in my life when I was so empty, and it retaught me how to feel again. And going back it still brings tears to my eyes every episode.
This is easily in my top 3
I think it is my favourit anime too... it is a masterpiece !
I discovered this series earlier this year (feb 2021) and it has safely been in my top 3 (albeit tied for 3rd with another series) ever since.
This is also my favourite anime of all time as well. Used to think nothing could actually top K-ON for me, but this anime was just so special, so perfect and as moving/inspirational that I quickly shot it’s way to the top. Every second of this show is perfection. The fact that go to Fremantle W.A, where I’m from, is just icing on the cake
@@jembozaba4864 speaking of inspirational, this anime motivated me to write a book.
This is one of my favorite scenes in any anime because of the emotional impact of it, as well as how that emotional aspect of it comes from wrapping the loose threads regarding Takako up into a neat bow. A major theme of this show is grief and, more importantly, denial of grief--believing that your loved one isn't truly dead and is still out there somewhere for one reason or another. What this show does so well is not only make that denial extremely believable on Shirase's part, but also imparts that denial onto the rest of the girls as well as the viewer themselves, since the show never actually shows you what happened to Takako. And while most viewers will probably know in the back of their head that yes, Takako is most definitely dead, there is no way she survived that, the viewer also does not want that to be the case; they really hope that Takako is still alive and kicking somewhere, somehow. But this scene really slaps down any possibility of denial while also putting on display how much hope Shirase had for her mother still being alive, with the thousand emails that imply that she had sent emails every single day since her moms death, and the fact that they were all unread forces Shirase, the girls, and the viewer to let go of that possibility and finally accept Takako's death.
All of that, with the addition of Kana Hanazawa's phenomenal performance and the absolutely beautiful song playing in the background (titled またね, pronounced "mata ne" which literally translates to "again, okay?" and is used as a goodbye in japanese with very casual implications of seeing that person again soon) really kicks you in the emotions in every way possible. I don't think I've ever watched a show that emulates the process of grieving and the feeling of emotional implosion that comes from finally accepting the death of a loved one like this show does. There is just something so precious and beautiful about this, and what's better is that this scene really drives home another theme that this show has going for it: the importance of processing emotion with people around you. Grieving alone isn't going to help you, and here Shirase is accepting her mother's death, but she knows that she isn't alone. Her really strange and dysfunctional group of friends are right outside her door, when she thought that she would have to do this completely alone when she first set her sights on Antarctica.
One other neat thing I think this scene does comes from when you look at the lyrics of またね: pretty much the song is talking about a journey that they thought would be endless coming to an end, and now that it has finally reached its final destination, it's time to finally say goodbye. But the song does not use a more permanent sense of "goodbye" (since languages in east asia love having a million and a half words and phrases for parting), but it instead uses a phrase that has heavy implications of seeing the person again soon. The song is very heavily implied to be Shirase singing to her mother, and a neat little metaphor that the show uses is referring to "A Place Further Than The Universe" as both the Antarctic, but also as heaven. So the song is pretty much saying that Shirase is accepting that she'll see her mother again, but only when she herself meets her in heaven. It's the ultimate form of acceptance: "I will only see you again when I myself meet you in death; goodbye for now."
The voice actor did an absolutely phenomenal job and that’s an understatement man this scene amazed me It’s amazing it hurted me so badly
This is my favorite role of Hanazawa Kana. She's a very famous seiyuu with a lot of characters in famous animes. But this underrated gem is on another level.
Yes, I wouldn't had cried as hard Kana-san didn't gave the best performance of her career here.
Did u just say it hurted you
@@darkhaven2402 yeah… crazy how her the other work (angel beats) she was involved in was I believe the first or second anime scene I’d ever tear up to. And that was like almost a decade ago. It feels unreal that she still voices in newer anime that I enjoy much of (the fact that this performance is 6 years old is unreal to me)
I always believe that she knew her mother was gone, this was just a hard hitting confirmation. Needless to say, I cried so much with her and the group
She always knew but didn't want to believe it until she saw it with her own eyes. That's the raw confirmation of it.
She knew. That's why she never denied it when Gin comfirmed that she was gone.
Her screaming "Mom!" was enough to let the floodgates open
my mom had passed away a few years ago and ohmygod.. this scene hit so hard i thought i would never cry that much to an anime
The voice acting is phenomenal. When I heard her gasp and yell for her mom i havent sobbed so hard
One of the most underrated anime ever.
THIS SCENE ALONE IS SO SAD AND THE MUSIC IN THE BACKGROUND JUST MAKES ME CRY EVEN MORE
This show was so under-rated, The range of emotions while watching it are huge.
I agree. Not a lot of anime manage to get from really funny (episodes 8) to really sad (episode 12) so well.
@@NeoArashi Only Chunibyo (season 1) and Charlotte get me like that!!
Not underrated at all. Underwatched≠underrated
It was literally awarded with anime of the year. How can that be underrated
I've seen this scene a hundred times, and I still crying as if it was the first time
Same. Watched it 2 times already, cried both times.
I'm about to watch episode 10-13 with my GF tonight, and I know I'll cry again.
Thank you for posting this scene Crunchyroll.
It may be an overreaction on my part, but I genually believe that Shirase is one of Kana Hanazawa best roles.
I'm usually one that tear up kind of frequently while watching anime, but this particular scene really made me cry, I actually needed to take a break to recompose myself.
Just finished this anime last week actually, dunno why I took so long to watch it, but I can say that it's already one of my all time favorites.
This was an experience, one that I'll cherish for a long time, and I'm sure that eventually I'll embark on this journey one more time and rewatch all over again.
There’s no such thing as an overreaction when it comes to anime
Shirase is definitely one if not, her best role. It really shows how much range she have. Kana hanazawa is typecast for the most part of her career unfortunately.
Kana Hanazawa is one of my top 2 VA's of all time. She literally never misses.
As much as I love Girls' Last Tour, I'll never forgive them for casting her as the nuclear cat. So much lost potential.
This scene is one of two in anime that emotionally destroyed me, the other being Kayo's Breakfast in Erased.
For me her role as Shirase as long Hina from Sangatsu no Lion..
Anime always finds a way to make me emotional.
And thats what makes it so beautiful
3 min ago me: Ok, I'm ready, I can do this! I'm a grown man and I can watch this again without crying like a little girl!
Now me, crying like a little girl: No, I can't.
I don't think I've ever skipped the credits after this scene. The episode doesn't feel like it's properly over until the sun sets and the song ends.
I never skipped the ED in this series, mainly because there was always a short post,
-credit scene at the end of each episode giving us a hint of what's gonna hapoen next.
I never skipped it because I love the song
Ive watched this scene at least 10x and i still cry every single time. full on tears
It's been 5 years since this show came out, and this scene never fails to reduce me to a puddle of tears
When I first saw this I was absolutely gutted.
She tried so hard only to come to the conclusion that her mother has been dead the whole time.
Also the number of emails show that Shirase sent at least one every day for the last three years.
She really missed her mother.
Also the other three girls waiting in the hall only to just start absolutely bawling for their friend really hits.
I haven't seen this anime yet when I watched this scene I began tearing up. A mother's love knows no bounds and its always beautiful
Upon my initially viewing of this scene, I was reduced to uncontrolable sobbing.
Same! I wished I watched this anime sooner.
I come back to this every time I need a good cry, hell even just the song leaves me a mess
This hitted me like a bullet train at full speed, and before I knew it I was crying my eyes out.
"I'm not gonna cry! I'm not gonna cry! I'm not gonna cry!" Seeing the crying girls sitting by her door: "I give up." 😭
Yeah, I cried harder when I watched the girls crying by the door.
Same for me. When I saw them all crying because they knew there was nothing they could do in that moment to ease their friend's pain it hit really hard.
I lost my own mother just a few months before watching this series.... this scene absolutely shattered my soul... it's so beautiful
Once that number went past 100, i started crying so much. This is one of the most emotionally impactful animes i've ever watched. But i noticed that once the girl and the girls started crying, i felt less like crying. I remember some filmmaker mentioning this, too - that if you see a character on the verge of tears, you will cry. If a character cries, you won't have to. At least that's how you'll feel.
All the feels for Shirase. Each unread email was so painful
Everytime I feel like I need to cry, I look up this video and it always helps.
One of the rare times an anime actually made me cry
Yup. Did a rewatch recently. As soon as the first few notes of that song started playing it hit me HARD.
I’ve watched this anime in two days to see it culminating into this scene.
I think it broke me when all the emails started coming in.
The question would be which guy who understood the scene didn't broke the instant those emails kept piling up.
ah yes finally some appreciation for this super underrated show! This scene made me weep rivers :’)
Pretty sure it got awarded anime of the year though. It's not underrrated, but still tend to go under the radar
No matter how many time I will watch this scene, I will cry each time
Same. Watched it 3 times so far, and on all 3 times, I at least shed a few tears.
This whole scene made me cry so much, I haven’t felt this for an anime never in my life before watching this precious show
I cannot recall crying harder in response to any memory that exists in my head
Bro! I cried so hard when this scene hit! I ended up going home go see my parents.
In a way, throughout this whole series at the end I realized Shirase’s character was going through the whole 7 stages of grief from beginning to end.
It’s so beautiful how well put out her character is, and how much she means to this story.
Thanks for posting this scene crunchyroll. If I ever need to cry, I come right here.
Shirase sending a email everyday for 3 years is the most heartbreaking thing ever 💔
Well damn, A single tear came out when I saw the entire clip.
Imagine how many would come out if I had watched all the episodes.
Ik how u feel
One of the best scenes in all of anime. This show is definitely top 10. It inspired me to do so many things in life and enjoy my younger days while I can. Im so glad you guys uploaded this clip!
The entire anime is top 10 for me too. And no anime has ever made me cry, until I watched this.
For real this show needs at least an OVA. It was so damn good. We need more content
OVA, yes. Second season, no. This show was just so perfect and a second season isn’t needed at all. An OVA would be amazing though.
I would enjoy a follow up OVA to see how the girls are doing , maybe even a time skip
@@jembozaba4864 yeah, an OVA would work. They did promise they woulg go on another adventure together, and I feel like an OVA or movie would bd the perfect opportunity for them to take on that promisde.
i cried watching this scene. the tears wouldn't stop
Thinking about this moment makes me tear up every time. And watching the video unleashes the cathartic waterworks.
I remember watching this series during my night shifts. This scene was the first one that broke me and continues to break me. Every. Single. Time. For me, it's the sobering reality that the day will come when I'm going to want to talk to my mum and i won't be able to because she'll be gone. I've already experienced it with my Dad. This scene is closure, but it's a door that's heavy to close.
watching this scene is like getting stabbed in the chest repeatedly
I have watched a lot of shows in my time, not just anime. I have watched possibly some of the best-written and beautiful pieces of fiction ever created. And yet, I never gasp, or shout, or scream, or cry. There have been very few times in my entire life when a piece of media, no matter how good, has made me feel true emotion. But this scene, no matter how many times I watch it, almost manages to bring me to the brink of tears. That is the highest regard I can give to something.
For anyone wondering, I have only cried at the end of Adventure Time, and even then that was like two drops.
Where's that physical release though? We finally got one for Konosuba after years of waiting. It's finally time for A Place Further Than the Universe and Laid-Back Camp to get one!
Second this. Maybe if we type loud enough they'll finally hear us 😆
Laid back camp definitely deserve a physical release
Please, Crunchyroll, release this and Laid-Back Camp on Blu-ray!!!
Been waiting for forever. This is my all time favourite anime and I need that blu-Ray. Need Carole and Tuesday as well
Still one of my top 10 favourite anime, safe to say it definitely changed my life
bro when the password was shirase's birthday, i was crying so hard
Man this entire show is a masterpiece 👌♥️
When I started this anime I wasn't expecting a lot, what I ended up with was anime of 2018 and one of the best scenes of the year with this one. Recommend to those that are yet to watch this
How ever many times I watch this, it always finds a way to make me emotional. 10/10 show
Excuse me: (exits room)
...
(Muffled ugly-crying sounds)
the confirmation that her mom is truly gone hurts so much
Sniff... I’m not crying... we all are 😭
This scene killed me with all the emotions
One of the few moments in anime I actually shed a tear 😢
Damn, time to cry all over again... I forgot how good this anime was. The nostalgia hurts
Happy Mother’s Day. You only get one, cherish her
If this were me, it would just be a bunch of company emails and government officials sending me advertisements
Love how the show make you understand that Shirase's mom used Shirase date of birth as a password without making it explicit
I remember watching this and getting so hooked, not only that but it ends with hope and a will to continue forward while remembering the past
I watch this every day to practice killing my emotions.
I Watched this scene with my mom, and i hugged her and i cried alot.
This scene break my heart every time I watch it!! It's very simple
but also incredibly powerful!!
Every episode of this show has a solid emotional payoff but this one hits the hardest. I am always astounded that it can cause such a visceral response from just some numbers on the corner of the screen.
X2, my eyes couldn't believe it until those same eyes started crying all over the place.
Bros, i cnat with this. im in the middle of the office, im in tears, everyone is worried asking "r u ok?" and i just cant tell WHY THE HELL im dehydrating.
I can’t help but think that this laptop is what Takako went back to the observatory for. As mentioned how she either slipped or “forgot something”.
The fact that it was just in there, in a safe spot.
I can't stop my tears in this moment
this show broke me beautifully
This scene gets me every time
This song never hit as hard as when watching this scene. The scene and song goes hand in hand
FINALLY. Been waiting for y’all to upload this scene.
Probably the saddest scene I've experienced and I will continue to revisit it. Still my favorite anime to this day.
Yuh I really needed to cry at this🙈💔
Dammit Madhouse really outdid themselves on this one. Brilliant anime.
GOD DAMN IT CRUNCHYROLL WHY DID YOU HAVE TO REMIND ME OF THIS SCENE! I AM GOING TO GO CRY FOREVER NOW!
I've try to forget this clip but but today Cruncyroll want to make cry all the people They've Watch the Series... Again.
-*K*
i miss you grampa 😭
I know shirase's feeling perfectly...
Boy did I cry watching this scene....at least Shirase got closure but it still hurts to know the truth...
Yeah, but when you watch episode 13, you see how much she grew between the day they found the laptop and the day they left Antarctica. She was finally past the mourning phase and was able to vrow so much in the span of about a month.
This anime was so beautiful
Ah yes, no one is safe from this tear jerking scene.
Who started cutting onions
This scene never fails to get me
Damn this still hits me in the feels
I remember watching this the first time around. This scene broke me.
Honestly when I saw this anime, it was funny, it had good drama, it was really good...But when the song started to play I thought nothing much....then this happened...then I cried, a lot 😭😭 sent expect this, very emotional moment.
This one hits hard.
And there we go.... I'm crying again
