This channel died when Shane and Ryan left, let’s face it 🤷♂️
Shane was an insufferable over actor trying to sound super cool non stop. Ryan was cool though.
@@Starch-Wreckbut they did both carry this channel
@@Starch-Wreck L opinion
omfg it's been years, move on already.
@@katzmanon babe we’ve been broken up for 6 months stop commenting on my old posts. if anything you need to move on
I watched someone else talk about this guy. But you guys went into more details. This guy is even scarier and more dangerous than I originally thought
Was it Akidearest?
@@Goleon yes it was
@@Truecrimeresearcher224 - Well keep in mind that Aki has to do her own research and it’s very limited as she doesn’t have the resources that these two can get.
Not much scarier than your profile picture!
Shane and Ryan carried this channel to the brink holy
I must say this was very interesting. I’ve never heard of this group before. Thank you for bringing it to attention. I’m going to dig further into it.
I did a speech class on the Aum Shinrikyo cult years ago as I found their activities both fascinating and chilling. I've lived in the Tokyo area for the past seven years and always felt safe riding the subways. I couldn't imagine the pain and fear of the sarin gas attacks on that terrible day.
Thank you Ladies for doing your videos and the tough subjects, they include. Keep up the great reporting and inform the world of these horrors hidden in our world.
I hope they do an episode on that cult out in Oklahoma that poisoned salad bars with salmonella. I've never heard much info about them and I'd like to learn about them
buzzfeed unsolved feels different since shane and ryan
Finally yall uploaded been a while since you last uploaded
It’s literally only been a week 🥴
@Buzzfeed Unsolved Mysteries, when's the next episode? It's been a month!
Love this video! You two delved into incredible detail of the founder and the associated cult. I recommend reading Haruki Murakami’s book “Underground”, which demonstrates a variety of perspectives from ordinary folk to poignant people of power related to the cult. Though it can get very visceral, just reading this would help many understand how severe the gas attack was back in the day.
Just heard the news about BuzzFeed, hope HuffPost picks you guys up ❤🌞😇👍
Damn 8 years?!? That’s so long for a trial!
Is Buzzfeed Video done? Most of the channels haven't uploaded in weeks or months
this channel really went down hill huh...
Shane and Ryan are gone so the rest of you can probably stop now
This is so awful, I worry that Asahara might have also used the socital idea that you need to conform with what is normal in his social circle. Though, based on what happens in other cults, it seems the "norms" around cult leaders is something most of them try to push on their followers. Yikes.
Also, for the history buffs in here...
It was due to the Aum Shinrikyo attack on the Tokyo Subway, a major transportation infratstructure, that multiple world governments had to consider that nonstate actors could get their hands on WMDs and harm a great number of people and critical infratstructures!
love this series!
I suggested this cult when it was asked if there were other cults that should be covered.
I still find it interesting that they're a vague reference in one of the Earthbound games as enemies (Happy Happyists).
The way the picture for the video is it looks like the lady is the dude without a beard
2:48 HOW are you Out of Breath at the Beginning of a sentence?!
This is a late comment, but since Joyce mentioned anime at the start of the video, this episode could have briefly discussed the anime miniseries that was produced by the those who worshiped Asahara. One particular screenshot from said anime became an internet meme.
Welcome back, ladies: I missed you last night (Friday), when I was really hoping to come home to another episode. It is, however, intriguing to see the show beginning to travel outside the US (whether culturally or physically) and become a multicultural, exploratory series.
There's no debate about death penalty, you take a life intentionally, your's is taken as a punishment 👊🏾
How didn’t they notice that people that were against this group kept dying and being attacked?
I'm still requesting you guys do scientology, altho I understand why you wouldn't want to because of how they respond
Miss these ladies.
Buzzfeed, do you have sources? I am doing a paper on Aum Shinrikyo and would like to reference this.
The misuse of the DSM does not contribute anything meaningfully positive or useful to the coverage of Aum Shinrikyo. It conflates people diagnosed with personality disorders with cult leaders, and allows cult leaders an easy opportunity to paint themselves at hapless tools in the hands of fate or even as victims. There is a reason professionals are urged not to publicly speculate on the potential diagnosis/diagnoses of a person they have never met in a clinical setting.
I like these two young ladies! How nice too see two best friends work so cohesively.
World needs more people like this
I appreciate that it seems like their outfits have become a bit more respectful of the stories being told. I hope that doesn't sound too backhanded. 😅
Merle and Joyce will have to speak for themselves on this issue (if they wish), but I understand your intended point. Issues of personal expression, respect for the issues being covered, and how to tastefully address a person's attractiveness are not simple in this day and age, and they are often wildly at odds with each other. Thus changes are clearly being made as the show evolves.
@@TheSaneHatter yes agreed, its a very fine tightrope.
this is cool.. this story really deserves the prestige wild wild country-style 6 episode series on HBO so bad
Not me thinking that was Bobby Lee in the thumbnail for a quick sec 💀😭
I love "I like to watch" and I have never laughed harder until this episode.... omg, it was absolutely Trixie and Katya on their A Game. I freaking love it!
What?
I Hope you can do an episode about Korea
I hope your next episode will be about Khamenei
What was that snake crawling through skull montage in the intro
Where’s Shane and Ryan
can you cover the story of jawaher haji
Man the quality really has gone down since Shane and Ryan left. Atleast watchers is still good
Even the likes to veiws ratio is horrible
Crazy that are still a thing
Oh wow
Hello do you guy’s have a email address ? About a case here in northern Virginia. The parents go out every day to change the days the son has been missing and it’s been 12 years of them changing days with a large sign at the end of the driveway asking for information 😢
Sarin is only pronounced one way why are you both saying it different?
"Better safe than Sarin," I suppose?
Wdym "only pronounced one way" girl have you heard of accents? dialects?
Still not rayan or Shane why they go bro
New channel. The watcher
Not diverse enough of course
Paying for his body? Sounds like onlyfans
3:21 FOLKLORE FONT??
BRA!
Please do princess Diana theory!!!
So with you guys going out of business are you keeping the Unsolved videos here or are you gonna give them to Ryan and Shane?
Ryan and Shane yall are not the slow painful death of buzzfeed is my fuel
isn’t this copying anthony padilla ??
did somebody say just eat
I need moe Ryan and Shane please I keep rewatching themmm, someone please has to be a way to get them back
They have a new channel. Called the watcher
@@sonian6642 ohhh alright
Bra...
Yeah
Bad sound design
Rise and fall of buzzfeed😅
It’s been falling forever, Ryan and Shane just helped it slow it’s descent for a while but now it’s back in free fall lmao
Just wondering if its a thing to not dress up to go to interviews??
Here, it may be: if you read the other comments, the hostesses have been accused by some viewers (not me, but it IS a topic) of overdoing it in previous epsiodes. So as I've said eslewhere, the show's approach is evolving.
@TheSaneHatter over dressing for interview?? Weird but ok
This series is sooo...bad. buzzfeed unsolved is FINISHED...I don't want to sound offensive, but for some reason when guys run these shows, they are much more scary. It might have to do something with associating less fear with women, as compared to men
bro I just found this channel after like two years of forgetting about it, what happened to the original two guys Ryan and Shane? this new crew sucks!
They ended Buzzfeed Unsolved and started their own channel.
They do their own thing on their channel “Watcher”. You’ll be happy with the stuff they are doing!
OMFG I LOVE THIS CHANNEL. I DISCOVERED IT NOW AND THIS SCIENTIFIC BUT MYSTERIOUS APPROACH IS SOO COOL AND GOOD! OMFG THANKS GOD RUclips EXIST SOO PEOPLE LIKE YOUI CAN HAVE FUN WITH US! :D
Unsolved should go back to Shane and Ryan or go extinct, these new hosts are affirming hires and it downgrades what was great viewing
Who are you to decide any of it, lmfao?
@@Braham_the_Terror He's just a troll, and not a very good one at that: bitching about Shane & Ryan is passe, now that Merel and Joyce have developed their own following, so he's behind the curve.
@@TheSaneHatter lmao it’s sad enough to be a simp, but smiling for these ladies? Yikes your starving hard brother
@@Braham_the_Terror they never decided a thing, it’s called an opinion, or sharing feedback, and just because you are butthurt doesn’t make it invalid, also your literally ratioed
It’s 2023 lib media only hired women now
These hostesses are too flippant when they talk about mature subjects. Their humor is tone deaf and their discussions come off as very disrespectful to the victims and survivors of cults.
Yoga is from Hinduism and not buddhism
These try to be funny and it’s just not hitting but y’all do amazing at informing so I would say keep at it work on those punchlines tho
