I'm in my twenties, and my parents just divorced last year. This show made my CRY, for the first time in the whole divorce process. A Cartoon Therapy Session, indeed.
my parents divorced in December, so this still feels kinda new to me, even tho it's almost been a year.
when I watched Infinity Train, and saw that the theme was "getting over your parents' divorce" I was like woah ok I'm going to relate to this.
but every time Tulip have herself the blame for everything, especially in episode 5 with all the memories, I couldn't help to cry.
I didn't think this show was going to make me, a person who has rarely cried for something in 19 years, cry.
and this video managed to make me shed a little tear, not gonna lie.
incredible job, I can't wait to show this to my boyfriend as soon as he finishes watching Infinity Train♡
Mine in November 2018. A really painful one. Till today I cry sometimes because some days are just too much.
@@TheKingsMindset I'm so sorry that for some people this can be so painful. I hope that one day everything will get better for you :(
i realize I am quite off topic but does anyone know a good website to watch new tv shows online ?
@Robert Rudy I would suggest FlixZone. Just google for it :)
Infinity Train hit me hard. I am a red head who’s parents were ‘taking a break’ when Infinity Train was airing, so seeing Tulip’s go through the same thing made it seem all too real. Even Atticus’s near-death brought back memories of my dog Maggie’s death. I shed more tears than I thought I would, watching Infinity Train in the front seat of my car.
Fascinating fact: It was CN who encouraged the creator to deal with divorce head-on. The creator was very nervous about even referencing it obliquely.
*THIS SHOW WAS NOT WHAT I WAS EXPECTING*
Granted i really didn'r know what i was truly expecting but this for sure was not it. i hot so nervous when they blatantly used the word 'divorce' bcuz i thought the world wasn't ready but i was so wrong.
I'm proud of owen and his team for taking risks and doing an awesome job.
Fabulous video as always dude🙏🏿💙
My parents have been unofficially divorced for pretty much my whole life. Their love ended by the time I was just four. So this series and Tulip herself really help me feel like I’m not alone, since I can’t find anybody to talk to about this. Not even my sibling understand since we have separate fathers. Awesome video! Love your channel 💙
Omg I so relate to the "unofficial divorce" but mines different since their marriage was arranged and no love was involved.
Nothing makes me smile quite as much as hearing, “Hey, how are you?! SliceofOtaku!”.
he actually says "I'm SliceofOtaku" but he says the I'm so fast you can barely hear it
"Thank you so much for watching and have an Awesome day, I Love You" gets me every time.
Infinity train was soo good! Deep af, I wish there were more episodes coming, but it was perfectly written with the perfect ending. Definitely therapy 😅
While Infinity Train gets a second season Twelve Forever won’t be
It's like over the garden wall, short but perfect
Twelve Forever is trash.
Rightly so.
bellavisionshow Star Giant Productions informed of the controversy around Julia Vickerman
They keep talking about twelve forever whenever they talk about infinity train even though they're so much different just because the two have redhead girl protagonists.
"Its okay to cry." All my life I always tried to hide my emotions , even now I have trouble with it I mean, I'm only a freshman. But just having that 1 person who understands and will always be there for you. For them to immediately know when something is wrong and not having to say anything and just hug and say those 4 simple words. When my parents divorced I wasn't given the choice to choose whose side I would be on, it was only my mom. So taught myself to hate my father because I didn't want my mother to hate me. But now I understand that it's not fair for her to expect me to carry her emotional baggage of 6 flights of stairs along with my own. And it isn't fair that she expects perfection out of someone who never was perfect. And it isn't fair for her to become angry when I am in pain, emotional or physical. But there is nothing more comforting than laying on the picnic benches at the park or sitting on her bed. Or when school is so over whelming and I break down at practice. When I blame myself for things that are out of my control and someone hugs me and I hear the words " It's okay to cry." I feel safe, and alive, and happy. I feel like a person again.
bit of advice, do try to avoid holding in your emotions too much. The tears actually help get chemicals making you feel sad out of your body. It can really mess up a person if they refuse to cry for a good chunk of their life. We're all only human. We have limits. You crying at school when the stress gets to be too much is okay. What matters is once you're done crying, you get right back to stuff like your practice. If you don't already I would recommend just drawing if you feel sad. It gives you something to work on. That and it just feels good to create things. Don't worry about your skill level or how it looks. Just draw because its fun and you're doing something positive to combat any negative you might face in life.
@@rosenrot234 I think I would recommend writing.
Because, while I've never had the experience of my parents separating.... I felt that...
Random, you have quite a way with words. Your words carry such raw emotion. I think you might do well with free-form poetry.
“It’s okay to cry” -one-one
That moment hit so hard for me
After being announce of my father’s death in October 19 of 2014, two weeks after my 10th birthday. I became like a onion, I started to build up layers. I calloused /numbed/ignored myself to the pain of loss. I began to snap at those around and I got really bad. Now finally I’m climbing up the walls faster and faster and I finally feel like I’m started to come to terms with everything in my life. Now after the trama my mom dealt with she has finally got on the right path now as well and has a new man in her life, and I don’t mean to diss my dad but this new man is more of a father to me than I’ve ever had before.
I feel bad for all the people who might read this and think of me as a bad person for saying this but, I’m really happy that my father is dead and that I have a new leaf to turn and such better and healthier people in my life. My father was a complicated man and it gave him no right to do what he did for so many years but at least we are as happy now as we’ve ever been, if he could see us now I’m sure he’d understand.
my own parents fight a lot and i could really relate to tulips journey and her frustration with her family dynamic. i related most to her during the memory car. especially young tulip slumping and being so used to it she automatically shut it out. it was so wonderful to see this in a cartoon as well as the body language displayed. like you feel so at a loss and like giving up. you just don't want to deal with it and you want it to stop but you don't know what that means and aren't sure you want to face that reality.
i also loved the seen with a napkin because it felt not only relatable and so so very human of an action, but it also held a lot of symbolism. here she is clutching something small and delicate with all her might even if it's pointless. then she slowly tears it to shreds as she feels her homelife and family is similarly getting ripped apart.
the episode that helped me the most however was the next episode. i've always tried to take responsibility for things and fix things whenever i could even when it's not my fault or my place/job. and seeing one-one in that situation and tulip talking to him resonated with me a lot. the firm statement that it isn't your fault and sometimes you can't fix it really hit home and helped me a lot. i still struggle with this and trying to step in when i know i shouldn't but this really helped and helped me to realize why i do it so often and allow me to take a step back and stop trying to fix it. infinity train was wonderful and made an impact with me in so many ways.
The train is really something id think in another life was an old folk tale campfire story. Like "when you really need it, a train might just come and scoop you up, what you find in that train will change you."
Well it's a little more messed up then that. Lots if people never get to leave and die from old age.
@@WolframiteWraith oh yeah... But at the same time people usually only don't get out because of thier own stubbornness. So it's more like a pergetory.
@@Yipper64 Still seems awful to me.
@@WolframiteWraith yeah but it's heart is in the right place. Metal, two personality heart...
I can somewhat relate to this, the reason why my mom got divorced for the second time was my wicked stepfather treated me like burned dirt for years. One of my half-sisters knew how toxic he was to me and saw the divorce as a good thing, my other half-sister was blind to the situation and decided to punish me thinking that the divorce was all my fault.
I spent a lot of time playing video games as a way of coping, which he saw as myself transforming my brain into peanut butter.
Hope you're doing good now
Cartoon therapy? *Insert Thomas Sanders reference here*
I hope Infinity train gets mentioned at some point in the series
@@wacko2766 same, it would fit really well

"Infinity train has single handedly renewed my faith in Cartoon Network"
Cartoon Network: *Cancels the show
i'm in the opposite divorce scenario. my parents are staying together, i feel that being around each other all the time is the problem because it feels forced. in my opinion a divorce would make everyone happier...
I can relate to Tulip because my parents used to fight a lot before and I remember one day they were going to get a divorce I felt like my world was going to end and I who has Autism and ADHD makes it harder to adapt to change and convince them not to and broke down. My parents haven't divorced which is good but just hearing them say that really impacts someone's life like it's over. If they ever divorce I just might have to accept the hard reality but for now, it seems like things have gotten better, and hope it stays like that. I also relate to Tulip's frustrations and emotions because sometimes I need to cry because of anger or rage I feel like I need to and one one's "it's okay to cry" is so good because it shows understanding and empathy and I wish to do the same if someone has to cry. Infinity train is like a therapy session for people dealing with their problems and helps them grow stronger and learn to accept change. If I were Tullip I would thank god I survived the train and learned lessons or if the train had me learn to be social and do things like ABA therapy for autism I would be Thankful that I change and better than before. If anyone is going through pain or something relatable know that you are loved and hope you have a great day.
14:55 i really liked this scene with the fact that (spoilers)
one one is the engineer. So even the dude making all these therapy cars can learn from his own cars.
The train ITSELF is a therapy car. It’s the reason why One-One refused to bring back Alrick. Not because he couldn’t, but because it wouldn’t help Amelia at all. Remember, Amelia was on the train in the first place, because she needed help to move on from Alrick’s death. Having Alrick on the train wouldn’t help her at all, in terms of moving on from her loss. She’d probably end up living the rest of her life with Alrick on the train, which defeats the purpose of getting off in the first place.
This is one of the best videos I've seen about the show, simple yet pretty concise in every point. Thank you for approaching the story so so good and relatable. I think there's a lot of things Tulip learns trough her journey on the train, obviously the divorce of her parents is the main point but she learns so much about herself too. I find it amazing how the new cartoons have the power to be so precise about some important topics in mental health.
The only memory I recognised of my parents divorcing was my biological mother violently forcing my father out the door as my sister tries to stop her whilst crying. The first 12 years of my life, I was affected by the screaming, shouting and arguments all coming from my bio mother. She has lied to me, my siblings and my family, saying horrid things and trying to turn them against each other. Even after the things she has done, she denies it. She tried moving me and my sister to Paris to be closer to my family as a way of saying she cares, only except she moved me away from my friends who I was close to. She never gave me any good wisdom with the constant bullying i had to go through other than showing no fear. One of the worst things I had gotten from her is the emotional blackmail, trying to guilt trip me to her side (a bit like Jerry Smith from Rick and morty) during custody battle.
Had my bio mother won that custody battle over me years ago, she would have put me in a mental asylum where I would have no connection to anyone, she tried to make me think it was summer school... I could have been different very likely for worst.. Basically, my biological mother is fucked up.
To this day, there are times where I struggle with the past falling into mood swings which mostly involves anger and rage but I know well enough not let it over take me, because I know the impact it will cause to those around me including my family.
All I can do is move forward.
Wonderful interpertation! You made me appreciate this show even more!
My parents got divorced about 2 years ago now, and the moment I learned of the divorce was never the saddest; I saw it coming. The sad moments come from reflection. I want my parents to be happy and I know that can never happen with them together.
Infinity Train goes through that process leading to acceptance and adaptation that anyone experiencing change must go through. I've never seen a cartoon character dealing with their parent's divorce before, so this was simultaneously refreshing and touching. I'm looking forward to a season 2 if it happens.
Okay well guess I’m watching Infinity Train now!
just binged all of Infinity Train in one sitting so I could watch your video, did not disappoint
I don't know how,but this video made me cry
Both my parents are together so I might not be able to relate to Tulips story, but her parents are another matter...
I've had an engagement break on me before; in the most messed up ways imaginable and due to events that were largely out of either of our control (though not that you could've convinced me of that for the longest time...even now I still don't like talking about it...) It turned what was once a loving, functional partnership into an outright toxic environment that destroyed our relationship, severed our friendships, and left behind a fair bit of personal trauma on all sides. And despite that, even years after the fact.... I still catch myself occasionally jumping at shadows...embarrassing as that is for me to admit...
So that scene of Tulip's father crying on the couch... I felt that. Heck, I've been that guy on more than a few occasions!!! I might not be able to relate to being an unintended casualty of someone's divorce, but I can absolutely comprehend being the one in the split (or at least as close to it as I ever hope to be again...)
And thanks for pointing out the Alice in Wonderland reference. I actually stopped and took a photo of the report to read even more of what they are trying to convey in the show.
form the Crystal cart I found that a lot of the the idea that sometimes logic cannot always help with personal issues. Tulip tries to use logic to figure out how the train carts change her number and even keeps a journal cataloging the similarities and differences with their actions in the carts. It is not until she opened up emotionally that she progresses though. Sometimes logic cannot help you, sometimes to feel better you just need to open up.
I love this show and i cried in the end
This show touched me...and I'll never forget it
I relate to this heavily because my parents left eachother when I was too young to remember...
"Its ok to cry" hit me harder than any Steven universe episode can. This is because I usually hid my emotions for the better...causing my downfall: my capability to expload emotionally.
There were times were I would literally throw my siblings out my room which we shared and sob into my knees before letting them back in and simply glaring at them because they use me like a toy...they would and still do throw me, kick me, hit me,frame me,and then destroy the things I love...it's too much especially when they know I also get bullied in school... I can relate to this in some ways and sometimes I wish that something like this could happen to me...I don't want a therapist... I want to solve it myself with some or very little help.
Say what you want. Call me a liar,say I'm only looking for attention,or a drama queen. I don't care. Just know I'm used to it and you can still expect to act as if nothing ever happened... I'm used to being used as a toy...and I'm used to hiding my pains
Wow, this hit me harder than i expected. Thank you for taking the time and effort to make this video.
I love how the creators made Tulip’s parents divorced. It was extremely relatable as i used to think my parents only cared about themselves, and were pushing me to the side when they got a divorce. All i wanted was for them to get back together, but i didn’t realize it wasn’t that simple. I hope infinity train helps kids get through tough times and realize it’s okay to cry, and it’s not their fault.
Thank you once again for making these videos. You probably won’t see this comment, but i wanted to give a little encouragement just in case.
Slice your videos always brings a sense of purpose to our lives thank you
Thank you so much for making this video. It’s so well constructed and well said. Such a good show aaaaah
My parents divorced when I was 3, so I never went through this trauma the way some people do. But at the same time, I don't think I ever fully got to deal with it. I was too young at the time, but I always had the reminder of growing up. It made me both glad and sad because I was too young to really remember my parents fighting, and yet I am always reminded of of something that I couldn't control. I know fully well WHY my parents divorced, and that it had nothing to do with me, but it still hurts deep down.
So I decided to try something- since this show has the main charecter dealing with divorce and such I decided why not show a friend this. I got him hooked. He's asking me when's season 2 and he just loves it. Now I tried it on my sis, same thing. This show fits all audiences since my sister and my friend are different in every way possible! Man, I love finding shows that I know my friends will love. (Yes, I do try to find shows my sis and I will love. We gotta share a room so it's useful for when she refuses to watch my shows and will only settle on big city greens)
I absolutely loved this series
I feel more of like an Amelia. While I'm trying to improve in some ways like Tulip, my life just has a lot of staleness, I've been trying to address changes lately but I'm not quite sure what it looks like to be better. I like this story, it makes me feel so reflective of my own life
Infinity Train Symbolism:
Freedom & Communication are both required in life.
It's normal to suffer, to ask for help.
Love & lose is better than never love.
Edit: Infinty Train really deserves a crossover with Steven Universe. Both teach us life in reality
Omg you're back! Missed you man!
Tulip is a marvel of a character. You can pretty much guarantee everyone in the audience deeply relates to at least one of her traits or struggles, they’re all so well written and believable.
Personally, I really related to the conflict in the mirror car. Tulip wants to get everyone to open up and express their feelings in a healthy way and be there to help, while never seeking help for her own problems when she needs it. I almost felt the characters look directly at me it was like a personal attack. I always want to help people, and I know it’s healthy to be open about how you feel with loved ones, but I really struggle to take my own advice. I’m still plagued with “I just don’t want to get into it”, or “I can figure this out on my own” or “I don’t want anyone else involved” energy.
These issues are so relatable for so many people yet I rarely see them depicted very well in media and I just adored everything about this.
Honestly my only complaint about the show so far is that i think it was too short. the format worked well for over the garden wall but for me one of the main draws of infinity train was its mystery and awe. that mystery being unraveled after only 10 10minute episodes did feel a little sad. But other than that Infinity train was really amazing and although im really scared the 2nd season wont be able to recapture this feeling one can only hope it could solve the length problem.

Oh hey, Otaku's uploaded a vid... Aaand it's about a show I haven't seen yet. :( See ya next time **leaves to avoid spoilers.**
I was so excited to hear your thoughts on this show
i had a neigbohood girl/pal/friend that was eerie similar to tulip when i was a child. on most of his caracter and look, almost. she was kinda into me, i just nor feel good around her sometimes could been a little bully. at some point she got tired of me because i keep being on a negative i guess.
on a similar note, since my father death i am in a process of griving and reajusting, i had take it more than i tought. infinity train is so refreshing to watch, i waited to see it on tv, i could had seen in on the internet, but i think it worth the watch. i waited something similar from amphibia but it is kinda delayed here. tomorrow infinity train is gonna be this time with a proper dub and a better schedule in latinoamerica, i watched subbed on cn, it was weird they never do that. it was good but fewer people could watched that way and that late.
You said the word relatable 16 in this episode
I showed this series to my therapist
It's sad seeing people in the comments saying that they're parents are divorced. Mine aren't but they constantly fight. That makes me fear that they could permanently separate(they ain't married).
I related to a lot of it in small ways but the one moment that really got to me was the "It's okay to cry". The amount of times that I've gone through things similar t this series or sometimes worse and I just tried to hold it all in. Not going to lie here when the line was said I just broke and had a cry fest.
*_[yeah]_*
I love the su adventure time song car the most. ❤️😂
I wanna try watching this show
2:02 I just realized that that scene is from black lightning
Than you, was wondering
A cartoon that teaches life lessons!?!? I thought those were extinct!!!!
Beutifull video
damn, i need to watch this show. seeing her tear up the napkin made me tear up lol. i used to do that, and try to be so careful to make each strip the same size. if that got me emotional, i feel like i’ll definitely cry a lot watching it haha. i’ve never really thought about or dealt with my feelings about my parents divorce. i was only four when it happened, and it was a pretty bad situation. hmm
Part of me feels bad that I think "Oh i relate to tulip". I mean. Yeah my parents did divorce. But I was still in my Mom when they split up. I didn't grow up with my dad. I instead called my Grandpa my Dad since he stepped in to help with the father figure job growing up. My parents divorce did still have little ripples in my life as time went on. But I'm not sure I could say "Oh I know what you're going through" to someone that grew up with their parents and then their parents are getting a divorce. And that makes me feel a little guilty.
Saw a screenshot on another cartoon review channel where your icon and question to a series creative team showed up on screen momentarily... XD
My story's a bit different my parents were never married and when they fight i just block it out and i act like i dont care i act tell myself other people have it worse. with the finding independence ...sometimes my dad he wants me to be him and when my friend told me her parents were having a divorce i told her that its going to be ok you will hit walls but its gonna be ok
My parents divorced years before they went to sleep forever. This description is too easily understood by those who have gone through similar feelings
The thing about Infinity Train is I really hoped it would help me. But my situation is slightly different. My parents haven't gotten divorced and the way it's going never will even though it would probably be a good thing. So nothing for me really changed. My family was on the cusp of getting split up but then everything tried to go back to normal. And I can't do that. My problem is I need it to change but it won't. I tried to talk about how I related to Tulip and my dad gave me a look that told me to zip it so that everything would stay calm and docile. Abd I can't not talk about it. I need them to do something either to talk about the things that happened or to just separate and let it end. So yah she was scared of change but in my situation I so badly need it to change but no one will let it because my parents are more scared of the change. Anyway cidk if anyone will read this im just tired and have a lot of feelings. I finally started watching it today and im on ep. 6 but I know most of the end already lol
I'd love it for children entertainment (which animation get lumpped into, unnecessarily) but entertainment at large to be come more authentic.
How do i watch this?
Cartoon Network only told me there's a new show but did not tell me it was a new episode every day for a week. Also as far as I know the only air the series once

If shows stopped trying to sheild people form "bad" "raw" "strong" feelings... We tell kids not to cry when they are hurt them selves or sheild them from things like death or conflict like divorce... We hide our tears infornt of them to look "strong" but all we do is rob them of the chance to see how we deal with hardship so they can be stronger for it.

I think this show was insanely rushed and the protagonist wasn't likeable rather very annoying and can't stop complaining.....
Yea cuz she dealing with her parents divorce. The train was a way for her to work on her issues. Of course she was a bit annoying at first cuz she was in flight mode. She didn’t want to deal and just want to get off the train. Again pushing her issues aside. She never made the connection of the number going down with her dealing with her issue
I don't know, to me it was pretty mediocre, with beating us over the head with messages and art style/ direction.... leaving a lot to wish for :/
