I would personally like to apologise for pronouncing "Celtic" as "Seltic." I am a dumbass and had the football team in mind when I was reading the script.
You can feel free to take my Brit card from me now
You also mispronounced Tir na nOg. You're a fraud Gigguk, a damn fraud
Gigguk your Brit card has now been taken for the foreseeable future. Thank you for your time
The Celtics are actually a basketball team. Unless there's a football team also named the Celtics, which is a possibility considering I don't know much about football.
Its ok, the Irish don't know how to spell anyways so its really their fault. I mean come on. Sean pronounced Shawn, nope.
Asians gonna be Asians
Somewhere, an ant colony still passes on the legend of those heroic ancestors who fought off the Giant Hand With A Stick.
On that day, antkind received a grim reminder...
Underrated comment
"Antony no!! Don't do it!!" "I'm sorry mother, but I must..." After those few words he charged into battle and prepared himself to fight for... *Splat* ... ... ... ... ... ... Umm... ... Well many like Antony died on that day.
For those who died all those generations ago, we sing the song of remembrance. *Death by a thousand bites*
Is that a motherfucking Attack on Titan reference?!
Man, Gigguk’s Videos are Always Magical no Matter what.
You're so goddamn right.
Yeah...They realy do make you feel the need to poke them and gigguk with a stick and shove your hands in them.
In other words, they always have a pair of tits in them
The Anime Dude I see what you did there.
Does he write his own scripts? I'm kinda new here
Wanna bet Magus Bride would be a classic in 10 years?
Also Elias' laugh should be a meme.
Wish granted.
I thought people didn't like the ending
a a ? But manga is still ongoing, what ending does the anime have?
@@bangsterhnkn they end it with the forest scene where Chise's in her wedding dress and is carried by Elias
I see you are a man of culture as well with that Ereshkigal profile pic
Magus bride doesn't make you want to escape and live out a fantasy, it makes you look at your world and what it has to offer, and what magic you can find there. That's what really got me, and is why I can't watch that show without crying. You put it perfectly and im so grateful for that. Thank you so much
I had never thought to contextualize it that way but I really appreciate your insight here
Man your videos are magical
foxomar magical indeed!
my dick is magical
No his videos are really 1 dimensional and unconclusive and just live off the stolen anime footage
foxomar Digi disagrees.
غريب
one of the smallest details i noticed was in an episode where we saw the contents of Elias' fridge i saw the milk was soy milk, and i wondered why soy milk was in a typical brittish fridge until i remembered that Chise is Japanese and more than likely lactose intollerant and that maybe Elias or Silky bothered to replace their normal milk when she came. that is such a small detail to include!
Wait LMAO are all japanese people lactose intolerant?
Try to be somewhat coherent, I don't get your answer.
Not all of them, but lactose intolerance is actually very common all over the world.
The series as a whole has tiny little aspects that just make it feel like it is a real world
It is more common in Asia than in Europe
you are obligated to use the laugh track from now on. "Hah Hah Hah"
It cracks me up every time
Rewatching this Video and re-reading the comments.
I'm a little bit sad that he didn't
A few thoughts I have on the Stockholmesque relationship of our duo. I think that when Elias said he wanted to make Chise his bride, he didn't mean that he was going to groom her to be his bride. I truly believe the only thing he planned to teach her or to influence her about, was magic.
We learn later in that Elias lacks some essential humanity, and that his intentions in taking in Chise was to see if he could learn these emotions and empathize with people. Essentially, he will teach Chise magic, if Chise will teach him humanity. His saying that he intends to make her his bride is just his way of stating his intention, as having won Chise's love would be a sign that he's gained that humanity.
As well, even though Chise is pretty dependent on Elias right now, Elias has always treated her like her choices matter. She has the option to leave, and Elias always speaks of their marriage as more of a hope than a certainty. Once Chise is a capable mage, she could leave and make her own money.
***SPOILERS***
As of like Chapter 56 in the Manga (which is after Ep 24 of the anime, which did touch briefly on this too), poor Elias *still* doesn't have a clue what a "bride" is. So far as he's been given to understand, your spouse is basically family that isn't related by blood. And a "family" is a group of people drawn together by mutual dependence. And that's it. And since he wanted to explore a "family" from the inside, but didn't have a way to make someone be related to to him by blood... "Bride," it is.
The guy is completely oblivious to any romantic or sexual implications to the term--and no one has ever felt comfortable explaining any of the nuances between "bride" and "roommate" to him, because his emotional intelligence is so stunted that everyone feels like it would be like explaining sex to a toddler, which makes it all too awkward. Chapter 52 of the manga, pages 26-28 are Rahab explaining to Chise what she told Elias, back when he lived with her, trying to figure humans out.
mangarock.com/manga/mrs-serie-156929/chapter/mrs-chapter-100384741
Its not even all that complex really. Elias was told it was common that mages wed their apprentices, so he decided he should do that. He lacks the common sense to consider its kinda weird, but that's part of the reason he's so amusing
@@syrusalder7795 and i would also argue, endearing.
Foxy933 I feel stupid... I needed a spoiler to go back... Man I should have guessed since Elias existed in the wild at first.
Chise has the emotional maturity and understanding that Elias greatly lacks and he has the magical knowledge and wisdom she lacks, in that way they are equals in their relationship as he is her mentor but she is also his mentor too
The characters and their oh-so-fantastic lack of over-the-top reactions is so refreshing. It's like a bed-time story, with it's calm, relaxing dialogue.
Jeremiah Cartwright Let's surrender our phones to the Thorn Mage in a clairvoyant act of sacrifice and have him read us bed-time stories. You with me bro?
Exactly! I think that has a lot to do with Chise herself. She isn’t the overly energetic, bombastic main character we’re used to seeing who reacts to every minor strange thing by screaming ‘NANI?!???!?!?’. She’s very calm and even a little melancholy. She automatically accepts the things she sees like the forces of nature they are and lets herself just go with the flow. And, like you said, it’s extremely refreshing.
Hahaha.
Just gotta say that as someone who was born in England ,raised in Wales and taught a number of these kind of myths and fairy tales from a young age(I was even a part of my universities pagan circle), watching a show like this with so, so many subtle references is like stepping back into my childhood. Almost like going home in a way back to a time when the modern world really didn't matter and i could just grab a book, climb up a tree and just stay there for several hours, returning home only to realize i had forgotten my shoes and socks at the base of that tree
Gigguk's ability to connect and articulate all of his points into a narrative whilst also being hilarious is truly a feat. Love the use of previous videos for emphasis as well.
Food for thought: A CERTAIN genre releases it's latest anime, the premise? Focused on a CERTAIN anime oriented content creator who is transported to a fantasy world where power is determined by your ability to formulate and discuss well versed opinions on subject matter.

Gigguk You forgot to mention that absolutely stellar soundtrack. Great video as always! I've been watching your channel since I was a sophomore in high school. It's been a pleasure to see how you and your videos mature and help me do the same, providing insight and a new way to enjoy my favorite medium again and again.
Thanks for all your hard work and Happy holidays man!
Ruel Lindsay II yeah, definitely was hooked from the opening song alone ^_^
I mean, he _did_ use some of the stellar soundtrack :D
@@Nortarachanges Legend of Zelda BOTW soundtrack...
Gigguk, I think it's amazing that you took the music from Zelda: Breath of the Wild, a game where you really want to travel, explore, and is filled with wonder, and use it for one of your anime video about a world you want to travel, explore, and filled with wonder.
Love your videos.
that zelda soundtrack, oh so good
I have come hither from the future and I can properly confirm the nostalgia coming from this video. (After literally only two- almost 3 - years after playing the game)
Yup...cried over a tree-dragon, now I'm hooked. This anime can officially do nothing wrong from here on.
...Would be a shame if the studio lost funding and the show were to end abruptly...
That would be an incredibly damn shame if that happened because this is by far Wit Studio's best work to date.
Stand Back Or Get Whacked With The Bat: Don't you fucking dare
No give it the funding that trash berserk remake managed to get. I can't believe it got a second season. I blame people that viewed it just to see how bad it actually was.
Episode 3 made me want to ball my eyes out. So beautiful. But of course I held back, because I'm a man... well sorta held back

"Did someone say
Transported to a fantasy world ?"
...😂
I think one of the main accomplishments of Magus Bride is how Chise's and the viewers perspective on Elias changes of throughout the series. He begins like this all knowing, terrifying, yet charismatic thing. But over time you realize that despite his age he is very immature emotionally and is only just beginning to understand how to recognize and describe his emotions.
.
While I still think the romance is... objectionable, the reason I don't see it as Elias being manipulative and evil is this very immaturity. I can also see why characters like Titania, the cats and Lindel don't object, since they either don't have the same idea of age as humans do or see both as children anyway. I have not read the manga and so I don't know how the relationship develops or if the problem is actually addressed in a substantial way, but the anime has managed to make me consider the possibility of a good romance there.
(btw I agree with everything Gigguk says here I just had a lot to say on this)
>But over time
Which is exactly by the end of Episode 2, when we get to see Angelica kick his ass for washing Chise in a tub. X))) Your point still stands, though.
@EccentricSage I think most people got it after the first point...
I mean... He is kinda hot though.
I'm sure buy now, if you have been keeping up with the manga, or even the anime which is close to catching up with the manga , you will realize the alias has come a very very long way and the relationship is actually wholesome and quite cute.

probably what would have if you poked an anthill with a stick and stuck your hand in it: get bitten in a million places, some of which you didn't think possible

And from SoTN, you can go to AoS, which has the Cagnazzo soul, which shouts ORA ORA ORA! IS THIS A JOJO'S REFERENCE?!
A girlfriend is a symphony of emotional joy and problems.
A girlfriend is a Lovecraftian entity upon which you project your own version of your ideal female soulmate and then get disappointed as she starts showing her true colours, showing increasingly human problems and emotional baggage with every single interaction until you realize that you were better off as a single who had to look after his own human needs. The same goes for it's male counterpart, the 'boyfriend'. At least, that's what I've inferred with my years of research on human relationships.

"Did I just cry over a fucking tree?"
Me too man, me too..
I've read a lot of comments, and a majority of people say they love this series. However, I also see people who think the show is "boring" and "slow." Personally, please let me address that I actually disagree and think this show is perfectly paced. It's not the type of show where the is a lot of action and battles (Hunter X Hunter and AOT for example). It is a show of emotional growth. People keep saying that they hate that Chise is so negative, but you have to understand that she was ostracized in her childhood and even tried to commit suicide. Do you really think that she will automatically change in just a few episodes and pretend nothing in her childhood ever happened? As I'm watching the show, I'm seeing that Chise is changing gradually, not automatically like a lot of people want. She is slowly changing after her many encounters with creatures such as Nevin and Ruth. This is why I also am quite a little annoyed when people trash My Hero Academia for Midoriya not automatically controlling his power. What other people call "slow pacing" is actually quite fine to me. I consider slow pacing when the characters, plot, or anything for that matter do not progress for more than half a show (depends of episode count). But if we're only talking about a few episodes and people already dropping the show, I just find them a little impatient. Please note that all of this is just my personal opinion, so don't get all keyboard warrior on me.
Edit: I'm seriously thinking that no one saw the last part of "this is just my personal opinion." Don't get all angry just because I disagree, and if you are going to disagree, use a valid point and argument instead of insulting me. I don't care if you dropped this show, neither do I care if you think it's boring. People have different tastes, and that is fine with me, but if you're going to insult me just for liking a show then I say that you're awfully immature. And when I say "perfectly paced" I do not think it is the goddamn best in the world like some of you think I have. I just think that it is amazing, but there are a lot of shows that have better pacing.
Flamie I wish I could give more than one like to this comment
couldn't agree more
Flamie I dislike the show because it's extordinarily awkward watching some century old dude try to make a 15 year old girl with a low self esteem his bride. This is a situation where you'd want to get police involved. Not to mention he bought her. Admittedly, I dropped the show after a few episodes so I don't know much about it, but I can't imagine that it gets better. If you do like the show could you explain why this isn't an issue.
Random Alien because its not the focus. I hate how the show kinda focused on "she's the magus' bride" and them going for a honeymoon when none of those pretty much happens. Yes you can see some affection from time to time but I would define it more like a child attached to her mother kind of a feeling. Elias is very much unexperience to feeling something and he just thought that making Chise as his bride would lead him to study humans emotions more with Chise. For me their relationship is like mother and child, with Chise as the one who teaches Elias about humans and Elias teaching Chise about the World of Magic. The grow attached to each other but I don't really see it as anything that much romantic. It's more like a puppy love for both of them and it's cute to watch them grow.
Elias is not human , it doesnt even understand why humans marry in the first place .. the stiry is aboutthe girl becomingstrong and the magus finding it's human nature
Ancient magus bride is an underrated masterpiece, great characters, beautiful animation, fucking mythology (love mythology based anime), interesting story and deep narrative
When I saw the black goo I immediately wondered what would happen if I stuck my hand in it
The fact that this mangaka has been able to take old mythologies and put them in her story without blatantly slaughtering the lore makes this anime feel so genuine to me. Only recently have I begun learning of my ancestors and their pagan beliefs, but seeing something like this makes me feel that I'm not the only one with respect for the dead. (Not that I felt that way to begin with, but still.) And it also makes me laugh how hostile this magical world is towards the men of god, and in such a way to avoid being political about it. It makes me so happy that this show seems to respect the old world, rather than mock it or imitate it in a mediocre way.
And above all, it captivates me, and leaves me truly wanting for the next episode. Both this and made in abyss have reignited my love for anime, and I hope it can do the same for all of you.
I will be hearing that laugh in my sleep. Thanks bone daddy gigguk

It's always nice to find something about an anime I'm on the fence on for watching and have that encourage me to check it out. Definitely watching this one.
After watching the more recent episodes, I find him saying he would marry her less creepy when you know what it implies. It's *Spoilers* hims saying that he will save her life. He meant that from the very beginning and as we learn more about the characters the more that promise means.
Its a breath of fresh air this anime is, I haven't finished it but it got me back into painting. The Story and mystery got me back to express my imagination. You are the best Gigguk, keep doing what you are doing. ^^
Kazuto Kirigaya I think its a breath of the wild
plz explain it to me daddy sugar play thing made it a good story.
You can't escape JoJo references.
I'm surprised by how much this series hooked me into its world. Now I want to visit London again. It's been a while since I last went there.
If you are going to come back to Britain try Cardiff it has stronger ties to mythology and is much cheaper
You know who else comes from london? JoJo
fuk that london has the most stabbings out of uk
Zaidejas Diskauskas it also has the most people by a large margin
if you want to visit Britain, try outside of London, like Cardiff, Edinburgh, York, etc...all are great cities and you can generally get a bit more history out of those cities..
This anime had me in tears, I aint gonna lie
I loved this show because it really felt like the fantasy worlds spoken in old European plays and folk lore. As someone who was pretty much raised in rural England this show felt both nostalgic and mysterious to me, like everything that was going on could have been happening while I was having tea with my grandma in dorset and I was simply too young to notice. (Hell I remember one shot of a little village house in this show that looks identical to the one my grandma used to live in)
When MiA first showed up I watched 2 minutes of first episode and was like wtf is this chibi shit, PASS...FF to a few videos ago and Gigguk said it was a contender for anime of the year. Thinking Gigguk was on crack I gave the show a chance, watched all 13 episodes in 1 day, cried like a bitch, hunted the manga down, read all the manga then cried like a bitch again, then read a comment saying the manga gets updated like once every 3 months and died a little inside D':
You can buy the movies and manga from Amazon, definitely don't torrent it from nyaa nor read the scans from mangatown I want this anime to continue forever.
I to want this to go on for an eternity, I found the manga some time last year and fell absolutely in love with it. I was super excited when I saw it was becoming an anime.
cortesej2 Welcome to the club. Been reading since it was released.
I heard a lot of great things about MiA but kept putting it off. Then I watched the first episode. Then I watched every episode. Then I read the entire manga in one sitting.
The only show that isn't one piece that I'd give a 10/10. I'd rate it higher if I could. Probably the best show I'll every have the privilege of watching.
You did all this in less than 5 hours?
Elias is oddly appealing
good lord
It's that laugh.
*Ha ha ha.*
That bony face of his
He's tall, has a soothing and sexy voice and has a skull face...whats not to Love? XD
Humans are attracted to all sorts of things. Check out The Shape of Water from Guillermo del Toro 😂
This really hit close to me. I had been trying to find a manga or anime or any form of media with magic which wasn't just 4 fundamental element and protagonist trying to become powerful or fight an overwhelmingly powerful foe. When I was a kid I watched Harry Potter and the sorcerer's stone and it gave me this feeling of mystery, curiosity and an urge to imagine. I searched for magic in anime and this was 6th or 7th search result and I clicked on it just because it was uploaded by Gigguk. And whatever was described in this video was exactly what I wanted. I never comment on RUclips this is probably the 2nd time I'm doing this and it is worth it.
That was beautiful description for this anime. Great
As I like to say, It's the little things that they don't have to add, but they do anyway!
Great video man!
I freaking love Mahoutsukai no Yome.
Its way to introduce and unravel its mysterious world, until it suddenly stops and leaves you wondering ...
Its characters, which are so detailed, diverse and interesting ...
Its sounddesign, music, artstyle, just everything ...
... And of course our sweet, sweet Bonedaddy B)
Ive only just watched up to the dragon episode but now every time the magus is in frame i will remember "BONE DADDYYYY!!!!"
So glad I found this anime, it still stands as my favourite anime. It's a wonderful anime.
This video explains my deep emotions and my interest in the anime. I believe the themes you have highlighted are as you say; well executed. Good job on another a very in depth and what I believe to be a very accurate analysis. Love your videos man keep it up
I wasn't going to watch this anime until you mentioned the part about the tree. That actually really connects with me, because I once had a similar dream about a tree that left me in tears; it was somehow related to a tragic death and the bestowal of new life-it was almost as indistinguishably profound, in an utterly mysterious way. It bore some sort of deep, archetypal significance to me.
I had that dream 8 years ago, but recounting it still brings me to tears. And I actually just happened to have publicly shared my dream yesterday for the first time ever...yet then, as if by sheer coincidence, this video comes out today. I'm intrigued by the synchronicity.
*SAME* ". . .throw a rock down that hole" *LMAO WHY IS THAT SO FUNNY TO ME*
This made me realize how misunderstood Elias was. Esp if you watch more of Mahoutsukai no Yome, you'll that Elias is just an innocent and curious creature who just wants to learn what humans are like
"when you get a wand make sure you make one out of my tree" FSS WHOS CUTTING ONIONS
I'm sure a ton of people cried during that scene with the dragon. Tbh I cried too and not afraid to say that since it was so amazingly sad.
That dragon's voice during that scene was just ;A;
that sentence was the emotional peak of the episode!
ill be honest i dont find the scene sad but i did cried. this anime, especially episode 3 made me shed my tears and i seriously dont know why.
Magus Bride and Made in Abyss are both fantastic.
Don't lie. We all cried when watching ep.3
Like. A. Fucking. Wimpy. Little. 5yo. Kid. Who. Lost. His. Puppy.

@@crystalalarm3 what the fuck is that
the ancient magus bride is the only anime i've ever watched to date to give me such immersion
As a big fan of the manga I'm really happy the anime is also really well done. Great video! Also using NieR music made it even better.
B O N E D A D D Y
Magus bride filled me with such a sense of wonder I haven't experienced since ghibli.
SAMEE I can't get over magus bride
This video captures exactly why I returned to this series for a third go, to poke it with a stick and put my hand in it.
That breath of the wild soundtrack in the intro though
The world of ancient Magus bride is just explained enough for immersion, but vague enough for mystery and sets a fantastic scene for the moral and character questions that the Narrative is asking, can emotion be understood pragmatically? Elias is a changling that lacks any kind of deep emotion, but hopes in trying to save Chise he will come to understand it in a way that he can experience. Can comfort be found in something known to be false, and if so is that comfort real or just escapism? Chise sees Elias, Silva and Ruth as the first true family she has had but Elias outright tells her that he called her family because he knew that would draw her in, and that his true purpose for purchasing her was study and research, Chise doesn't care, she is willing to stay with Elias because even if his reasons are cold he does actually value her, the attitude of someone willing to sell them self to the highest bidder in order to find somewhere to belong shining through.
This is why I love watching your channel, I’ll have a new video pop up in my feed and I’ll watch it, and I’ll get amazing older videos like this pop up in my suggested that I just love watching
Anime is magic,
and so am I.
This anime and Recovery of a MMO Addict are my two favourite anime of the season.
yessssss though I have a third anime along the two which is Hoozuki no Reitetsu~
Net juu no susume!!!
Someone understands.
I agree but I also really like girl's last tour
Hoozuki no Reitetsu is my best bet. For Ancient Magus’s Bribe, I already read the manga( shieet I’m gonna be stoned for this). Hoozuki has so much quality for me it hurts. I love the main man to death.
I quite like just because!
I knew the moment I saw this Gigguk would make a video about it, it was clearly the best fantasy or perhaps anime in general out this season and a captivating Fantasy anime in general.
Fantasy wise perhaps. But best anime of all time is extremely subjective. But it looks great
I meant in the Fantasy genre specifically but yeah I agree.
And compared to the majority of other animes out this season too. The anime with the robot old guy is great too.
Guess you didn't watch Houseki no Kuni yet.
It's fascinating that someone who, it seems like, never experienced childhood depression and abuse can take away such a different primary message from the anime. For me, the journey to overcome the scars of the past was this works core, its soul, its raison d'être. Others might primarily see an exploration of Western mythology, a vivid fantasy world. There is of course nothing wrong with that. In fact, the colourful fantasy world is a deliberate allegory to illustrate this journey, standing in to show how one rediscovers the beauty of existence.
I’ve never seen any of your videos but The Legend of Zelda, Made in Abyss and Ancient Magus Bride all in one video?? I’m in love. Definitely subscribing.
You know how to make magic interesting? ZERO EXPOSITION.
That is just laziness. "I wanna create a magic world but don't have the brain to think through all the consequences of it all. So, let me just add this magic magizmo and hope the fans will take it." The moment you change the laws of reality on a whim and can't give a shit to explain how or why that came to be, you are just not feeling like it.
Luiz Alex Phoenix It hurts the pacing, and is most often irrelevant to character development and does not add to the overall narrative. Exposition does nothing as a story telling device, though it might give a nerd an orgasm. It can work in a video game, but not in shows, and especially not in movies.
It hurts the pacing if it's done incorrectly. There's nothing wrong with a little exposition. FMA Brotherhood had a short intro at the beginning of each episode and without the explanation of alchemy's basic principles, the show just wouldn't have worked as well as it did. If you're gonna make magic or any kind of mysterious power an element of your fictional world, you have to include some amount of exposition.
But gigguk just fucking cried over a dragon expositing about how he's turning into a tree, are you agreeing with the video or stating your disagreement?
i question everythin g Showing is better than telling, this anime kinda does both.
Made from abyss was the most amazing anime i'v watched for so long. if what your saying is true, then i must watch this one Too.
Oh god that Libero ala at the end. It doesn't matter how many times I hear it or what mood I'm in when I do, it always makes me tear up at least a little. Like an intense pressure in the heart that's just begging to be let out.
I think we cannot talk about the show without mentioning the music.
The soundtrack helps, helps reaallyyy a lot building up the atmosphere. It has something... familiar. Something that calls back on childhood, something that you want to hear again.
Yo- you can’t play botw music with this beautiful commentary man- I’m in tears
I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE!!!!
Dafrogeron I recognized the music in an instant. Lol

Upvote for ELO.
You watch all the same shitty videos and memes as me. You're in every single comment section.
Your background music choice in this video (actually all videos, but ESPECIALLY this one) is absolutely AMAZING :)
I freaking love Magus Bride. it's so beautiful, and the characters are wonderful. I love Chise and Elias' relationship too.
Is this anime worth getting into?
yes definitely, if gigguk's video wasnt enough to convince you then I don't know what is.
Justin Young yes
JeJe Servamp of Envy well there is a wait period for it to finish that made me ask the question
Justin Young yes
Yes it is. As long as you can get past the whole "I'm buying you to make you my wife" thing (or emphasize with Chise's position, even if you find it weird), this anime is really enjoyable and wonderful (in both senses of the term).
5:25 Okay
5:27 Huh?
5:29 What?
5:31 Uh...
5:32 Where are you going with this?
5:33 What does that have to do with...?
5:36 I don't understand how any of this is relevant?
5:37 Is this supposed to be a joke?
5:38 Wait...
5:40 Don't you dare!
5:41 You son of a bitch! I swear to God...!
5:42 I will hunt you down and drive a spike through your-

Darius
Don't tell me what to do with my life force!
key word- *advice*

I thought you were joking.
Why are you telling a stranger on broaden their horizons?
Why not, i like to help
My personal favorite anime of 2017. Absolutely beautiful and fascinating world. Chise's story is Wonderful
Dude I literally shed a tear there at the end this video was so beautiful
It's okay, Gigguk, we've all been there and done that. The ant hill thing. Hell, I'm still doing that and I'm an adult.
7:05
This scene is so powerful... I'm crying
>Boi shut your sensitive ass up
>nvm I just cried
Seriously though, I haven't cried at an anime since Kittan died in a blaze of glory. The Ancient Magus' Bride made me cry four times in eight episodes.
Why is it so FUCKING GOOD AAAAAAAAAAAGH
Starflight, Basement Dragon FUCK! add a trigger warning before reminding me of Kittan's sacrifice.
"Eh, so that's he power of spiral? That's quite a thing..."
3:20 I guess I am a madman
Jesus fucking Christ XD
The characters are what kept me coming back. Mainly Elias Ainsworth.
Magus Bride: the most complicated JoJo reference
The thing I like about Yamazaki Kore is that she even made a romance manga that didn't make me yell at the characters for how dumb and dense they were.
Futari no Renai Shoka is easily one of my favorite romance manga for a reason.
MISOT that was a good manga. Short, but good
Right! It's so good
tall guy, short woman.
but instead knowledgeable woman.
more romance.
book lovers.
@@kenneraguilan2074 MISOT?
when you said that titania said that her world was called tiernanog the first thing that came to my mind was that tiernanog is an actual place in scotland that i visit quite frequently
I just wanted to thank you. I'm currently in the middle of writing a fantasy novel & through this video, you gave me the idea to go take a deep dive in mythology- & it's truly incredible just how rich & varied it is across cultures. I'll be using them to help build my own fantasy world.
Gigguk
A man who ends all his videos like a wise hag that has lived for 90 years.
How did this review make me love this anime even more? I thought the manga alone could express my happiness for this show.
I sat on this video for a month to watch the full episodes of both "Made in Abyss" and "The Ancient Magus' Bride", then i laughed my ass off watching this. Was an amazing video, hope you have fun writing all of these videos. Sure had a lot of fun watching them.
I love this anime. I'm a huge lore and mythology fan and the fact that it showed how fairies can be evil just like in ancient myths sent my nerd hard a-thuddin'. #BecomeANerdAndYouCanBeGoodAtMakingGoodStuffOrWhatever
Livii BlahBlah
So are there no ancient myth saying fairies can't all be good ?
Fairies are tricksters in nature
Risingmatsu
So are there no myths with all good fairies in the world ?
i question everythin g uhhhhhhhh try shin megami tensei? Or maybe persona?
Risingmatsu
So by nature you mean modern fiction and not actual mythologies ?
*gf:* babe come over my parents aren't home
*me:* Nah fam a Gigguk video just popped up
TheApplePie you can listen to the gigguk video while driving.
Redfalcon1 Anime is garbage and so am I
Don't lie to yourself.
You watch anime, you don't have time for a girlfriend.
Gigguk I love ur videos sooo much u always out soo much effort in and it always turns out amazing!!!
Plz never stop! 😝😝😝
Redfalcon1 u do realize these kinds of manuscripts take 10's of hours to write right? if thats isnt effort i dont know what is
I love all the details you always put in your videos, like you putting breath of the wild music in a video talking about fantasy worlds that everyone would love to explore.
I honestly don't know how such an oftentimes dark and heavy-hitting series can give me a sense of calm every episode, but it did. It felt otherworldy and peaceful as fuck.
