I see so many people saying this but I just saw an add and IMMEDIETLY clicked to see what y'all're about and I love this so much, keep up the good work.
It's been 3 months since I first saw this episode, and I returned to re-watch it and realized just how beautiful it was. I think the lure of an Isekai is for better or worse the desire to escape from your own grim world and have a chance to be the person you really want to be. A very common desire in Japanese society with its brutal work culture and stifling societal constraints. Personally, I can relate to a desire to escape because of my own self-loathing and regrets. I think many people at some stage in their life desire to no longer exist in this world. Think about it, everything you have in the end is just an empty chattel, everyone you care about will either leave you, die, betray your trust, or you will come to despise. In the end, even amongst a crowd of people you will always feel alone. Moments of joy are fleeting and mostly shallow; work is just like being on a continuous hamster wheel, for the sake of maintaining your pointless existence. Is it a death wish? I don’t know. But, we can’t escape our world or who we are by suicide. In an Isekai however, we can wake up in another place, be someone else. Maybe it wouldn’t be different. But, if we were weak we could become stronger maybe be the Hero of a better world. If we were lonely and isolated we could find companionship, or true love. The lure of the Isekai is the “Will to Power, the desire to overcome or escape that which is failing in this world and ourselves. The protagonist by virtue of some redeeming inner quality is pushed into this better reality to undertake the hero’s or anti-hero’s journey, in the tropes of the Isekai. What self-loathing human skin waste wouldn’t desire that? You ask!
Holy cow. I used to watch tons of anime but have stopped over the last few years and an ad for Elementals came up and I was intrigued. This animation is so damn gorgeous and fluid! I will def be sticking around to see more!
I've seen so many people talking about this, and after just seeing an ad, I clicked right away to check you out. I absolutely love it! Keep up the great work.
BRO, WHAT WAS THAT! I came here after saw an ad and got excited to watch. Now I'm here and I liked it soooo much. We need the subtitles translated to every language possible.I loved. Congrats to the team that made it
I 100% thought this was like some huge anime made by mappa or something, then i looked at the veiws and this is so underrated. I can gladly now say i found this gem before it was famous 👍👍👍
Wow, just wow! 🌟 "The Waiting Man" totally blew me away! Haru’s journey as a free-spirited skater trying to find her place in the world really resonated with me, and T.K.’s enigmatic presence added such a captivating mystery. The entire cast did an incredible job bringing these characters to life, especially with the emotions and depth Tomokazu Sugita and Akari Kito brought to T.K. and Haru. And the production quality? Top-notch! 🚀 Hats off to Goro Taniguchi and the whole team for this visual masterpiece. Can't wait for the next episodes of "Enter The Garden"! Keep up the fantastic work, Azuki! 💫
Cop: Sir did you see the accident? Man: No. Cop: But you were siting right in front of the accident. Man: Yes. Cop: did you see the accident? Man: Nope.
Been following this for a few months now, I periodically watch this episode and we definitely need more! I cant wait till this is complete I love everything about it
This PROVES that people can like ads IF they are interesting instead of the same pattern of nothings we've been getting. Also WOW I am not usually anime type things but this really caught my eye, yall did a great job!
@@sauce8148 They're some of the biggest names in the business, I'm pretty sure. And they're basically working on an indie project. Hell, not even that, by "modern" standards. This is like getting Tom Cruise, Sylvester Stallone, and Morgan Freeman all together for a 2 minute long short film made in some random Floridian's basement.
I usually skip ads, but I always make an exception for video games that seem interesting. But when I started seeing ads from you, I was intrigued by what I saw, and I decided to subscribe just to wait for this. And holy shit, am I glad I did so, because I want to see more.
Advertising and Algorithms probs. That's the typical answer. Takes most channels years of either organic growth, or a lot of money through ads, or a mix of both. Doesn't matter how good a product is if noone is made known of it
señores, aplaudo el increíble esfuerzo desde que vi el primer treaser a fines del año 2022 y les vengo a replicar que, me encanto y vuelvo a decir el esfuerzo y el empeño que le pusieron a este proyecto, estoy impactado y a la vez impresionado con todo lo que adelantaron, saludos.
This is such a beautiful piece of work. The lines, the animation, their movements are so fluid and smooth. Even the color waves are so beautifully blended
Many people came here from an advert, but I came here from the next suggested video after watching a trailer to an anime. It was pretty cool how the mysterious man named "T.K." used his frog to retrieve the coin for her. Interesting how her eye recognised which drink is best suited to her. Even cooler that he made a water looking skateboard appear and rides the long trail with Haru behind and they enter a peaceful, calming and beautiful place. Interested to see other clips connect to this anthology series.
This is so good,I haven't had the motivation to watch anything lately but this came up in my shorts feed as an ad and I wanted to try watching it cause of the animation.. It didn't dissapoint.I loved this first episode.I'm gonna wait for the next one.
Looking through the comments I see i'm not the only one who watched this because of the ad !! This was purely almost 9 minutes of great animation and I can't wait to see more. IKZ! ^^
The colors! The ambiance! The animation! It's so beautiful, I can't believe I get to watch it for free. I'm so glad I got that ad. Can't wait to watch more!
this was so beautiful and fun to watch! i was actually giggling, the little frog on the fishing rod is so damn cute and im so excited to learn more about the two charters introduced ☺
I cannot believe that was not even nine minutes long?? Just the thumbnail alone looked interesting (I love Haru's design, it's simple but has a strong "street" kind of feel to it!). Patiently waiting for the rest!!!!
the first ever youtube ad thqt worked on me...just as i was about toskip an ad of this on another vid...i said hold up this man is onto something here...and it led ,e to ur channel i intantly subbed, didnt regret after watching this vid, so eager to see more
Absolutely stoked to watch this all unfold. Anime has been a part of my life since childhood. The days where the world respects anime viewers is arriving!
This is really amazing. It would be interesting to see different characters in the same city each episode, but overall i really enjoyed the animation, sound, and music.
“Enter the Garden” 3 episode anthology will do just that! Each episode will have different characters and storylines, this was just the first! Azuki has also mentioned that they are working on other longer-form content as well as this anthology.
Not too long saw an ad for this and was HOOKED! Went immediately to you're channel and saw that the ad was from 9 months ago and to my surprise an episode for it o boot?! SUBSCRIBED!!!
You did it. The first advertisement on the Internet that bought me in what must had been eight years.
no lie
Glad you enjoyed! Hope you stick around for our future content 🙏
++++
Same, I couldn't believe it
Real
I saw this on an ad and was instantly hooked, no way an animation this cool can be watched on RUclips for free!
so glad you enjoyed!
Same here, I thought the ad was too good to be true, but I was mistaken. Its just as good as marketed
I KNOW RIGHT?!
True
Same
I see so many people saying this but I just saw an add and IMMEDIETLY clicked to see what y'all're about and I love this so much, keep up the good work.
We're glad you found us! Hope to see you around 🤞

HOW THEY GOT SUGITA TOMOKAZU, KITO AKARI AND FUKUYAMA JUN IN THIS?? 😭
IKRRR I GENUINELY SCREAMED WHEN I HEARD THEIR VOICESSS ESPECALLY SUGITA-SANNNN
What's so surprising about this? Are they some voice actors that don't usually accept jobs or something?
@@sauce8148they usually just work on top tier anime

THIS IS AMAZING! Big congratulations to the entire team, Va's, sound designers, animators, storyboarders, concept artists, writers, everyone. :)
Probably the first time I've been pleasantly surprised by an ad, looking forward to seeing more.
Love to hear it, and can't wait to share more 🙌
Nevermind, I thought they were only gonna sell clothes and drinks. This is Nft (a scam)
I have never clicked on an advertisement before. Ever. The art style just looked so cool! I'm already hooked and will be eagerly awaiting ep 2

You're early
WORDS CAN'T DESCRIBE HOW AMAZING THIS NEW ANIME ISSSS. I CAN'T WAIT FOR NEXT EPISODEEE. LOVEEE THE ARTSTYLEE, PLOT AND EVERYTHINGGGGGG.
