I was hoping it was “I’m the bald guy” comment but this one is good too
Im the bald guy
Bald Kurapika
Or I’m old
Would have been better
it’s guy not man
What a way to tell us you’re having a child. Congratulations Mark!!!
Mark requesting the girl to never open the letter until he says it's okay to do so has the same energy as Shanks requesting Luffy to return his straw hat back to him once he's become a great pirate. Absolutely loved this little story you just told us, Mark.
i love this comment
That's a great comparison
i was emotion watching this video and was thinking how the comments were and this is the top comment rn and made me chuckle fuck you for being funny
lol
i am so sorry if this ruins it for you but all I'm getting from this is that Luffy should long-range ace marry Shanks 😂😭 (my fav...)
Love the vulnerability Mark. Thanks for being human. F*** the algorithm!
Amen
Algorithms dictate the lives and morale of so many creators, it's really sad 🥲
Ironically, RUclips recommended this to me
Man mark talking about manga is something but mark talking about his personal life is just so heartwarming
So true.. It was great to hear him talk about that.
Many people forget that behind a youtuber is a human being with feelings and a personal life.
The more I learn about Mark's life, the more I feel for the guy. The story about his dad from another video hit me like a ton of bricks, because I have a family member who is exactly like that.
I’m not crying YOURE CRYING
Well... i can't deny that 😢
I’m crying
Who The F*** Cry's To A Heart Warming Comment
Embarrassing to say, but those first few seconds where you narrated that comment, only to reveal that you were the one that posted it choked me up in a way i didn't expect, it was certainly a way for me to start my afternoon.
Your Name means a lot to me, not just as an incredibly beautiful anime film, but as a message about striving for you dreams and needs despite the harsh reality of the world that washes over us everyday.
To be completely honest, i haven't been in the best spot for the past few years. Ever since graduating high school, I didn't go to college or get a job. I see all my friends, both new and old move on to the next steps of their lives as i stayed in home, complacent and lazy.
I think hearing Mark speak about Mitsuha's father, and how he represents a person that has been beaten down, and unable to move on after his wife's death resonated something in me that ive been denying for so long.
I first played Volleyball in elementary school, as just another sport our school would do in gym class. But over time, i began to look forward to each and everytime those period would come before i realized, that Volleyball became my favorite sport to play.
That fondness for the sport carried with me until high school, where i looked forward to every semester that has physical education so i could play it, until the pandemic came along bringing gym classes and my high school career to a close. It wasn't a big deal for me first, but after realizing there was actually a volleyball team in my school, and the teacher i asked if there was going to be, lied to me, my disappointment turned into anger, and ny anger become self resentment, becuase i had missed my chance.
Thats not to say i was some exceptional player, im not tall, nor do i have a jump height that many of my peers had. Looking back on who made it, i can confidently say that even if i did try out i probably wasn't going to make it. Nor was Volleyball the reason why I stayed at home for this long, being scared of the outside world, being lazy and out of shape. But remembering those memories, of both my middle school days of tournaments where I would underperform, and the high school ones where i didnt even get a chance hurts.
And yet, over the past 2 years, despite every bad memory, statistic, and reality of the world telling me to give it up, that Volleyball or any competitve activity was something that was long past me and my capabilities, i yearned for that sport again, for the feeling of the ball against my palm. And thus I decided to call up my old middle school friends, and yesterday afternoon, we all meet up at a gym.
It wasn't anything special, hell we couldn't even get an actual volleyball net so we had to resort to a badminton one where we weren't allowed to do spikes, and yet, it was the happiest i felt in ages. I think what I'm trying to say is that the spark i felt as a child, playing a sport i wasn't really good at but enjoyed all the same, was still in me. It was a fire that refused to go out.
Tv shows, books, and movies have such a profound effect on us as human beings. The same thing can have a vastly different message and meaning for mulitple people, and listening to what it did to Mark, how it changed him, relieved him of the doubts that plagued his mind, legitimately brought me to tears.
I don't know what's going to happen to me in the future, nor can i say I'm no longer scared of where I'm going to end up years from now at this very moment, but i can least say, I'm not going to wait around anymore for a chance to appear from thin air. it doesn't matter whether how bad i am at it or how unlikely it is to go Pro or whatever excuse my mind will rationalize for me to not feel that hurt again, cuz i don't want to run away anymore. I want to take that spark in me, that fire for Volleyball which refuses to go away, and see how far it can take me, because i fucking love this sport.
Thank you Mark for this, just like how Your Name back in 2016 came at the right time for you, this video you made released at just the right moment for me, where despite my fears, despite the harsh reality of the world, i can say that i can now start at the beginning, and at the very least, unafraid to take that first step.
Wow. What a beautiful story! Thank you for writing this, my friend, and thank you for getting back on that horse. That's the hardest part, but it's also the most worthwhile thing we can do for ourselves.
Your story is something beautiful. Thank you for sharing it and I wanted to write this comment to let you know that I stayed and read it.
I was going to smoke you for writting an entire essay. Until i read it. Amazing story of yourself
Blud i am not reading all that
bot
As a soon to be father again, this hit too close to home. Thank you Mark.
Best of luck !!!
really happy for you lad!
may god bless you with a healthy child
Dude, this hit me so hard. I'm currently struggling with my life, I'm 35, my girlfriend and I can barely afford rent, she has constant pain and anxiety issues, I had to quit my job last January due to burnout and work-related issues, and I have absolutely no idea what I want to do in life, other than that I have to get us both out of this mess and get us to a place where we can actually live a happy, carefree life, get married, have kids and enjoy the world around us. This is taking such a huge toll on both of us that it's taking all of our willpower not to simply fall into depression. In short, life sucks right now and I don't see the end of the tunnel.
Your story hit so close to home, I actually got tears in my eyes and I had to write this comment. I really hope my gf and I get to have the life we want someday. It seems hopeless right now, but stories such as yours give me that tiny little spark of hope for better days to come. As long as I don't end up like Mitsuha's father, things might be okay someday.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you for sharing this, and congratulations to both you and your wife.
Let it be known that one day your shackles will break and your going to be happy. You will be there for your girlfriend and kid. A new job perspective is always around the corner. Life can try to hold you down, but someone with your strength of mind and body - cant be caged by depression. Freedom always prevails. I believe in you! All will be well.
you *both* have to "get yourselves out of this mess", together. it's not all on you.
Mess is really hard thing bring pain in life. But crying on it won't give a solution. You both need to work for it to be perfect.
You need help?
@@jamescook5783 @ascendedsaiyan9584 @DiamondBlade11 @Theodor_Bockemuehl Thanks everyone. I'm alright, don't worry. I know everything will get better at some point, it's just that the situation sucks right now and sometimes it really gets to me. But I try not to let it get me down. My gf and I are working really hard to get out of this mess, and I know things will get better. Thanks for your support though, wasn't expecting such kind words from strangers on the internet :) Means a lot
CONGRATULATIONS! Becoming a husband and later becoming a father each changed me in indescribable ways - for the better. Nobody can explain how something inside of you just... shifts once you have a child
Beautiful
Not gonna lie the fact that you wrote that comment threw me for a loop but holy shit that was super well prefaced.
EDIT: I MADE IT TO THE END HOLY FUCK CONGRATS!
I'm currently 22. I relate to this story a lot. I often feel lost because I feel like I haven't lived up to the potential I thought myself to have when I was younger, and I don't know what direction to take with life. What's comforting in this story is that not only is this a shared experience with lots of people, but somehow it all worked out in the end. Even when you're beaten down by life and think it won't. Thanks for this story Mark. I really appreciate you sharing it.
Bro you're 22, you barely just spawned. Don't worry about achieving stuff, just enjoy your life the way you want to and make the most of your youth. Take chances, take risks. Go on adventures. make memories. Life will still be there, waiting for you.
Know that you're not alone. Many of us feel lost in the same way as you. Don't give up on yourself. Do what makes you happy.
@@CianaCorto as someone who is also 22 and feeling very similar things to the first person, thank you ♥, that helps a lot
@@CianaCorto I'm 23 and feel the same, I really appreciate your comment!
I'm 22 also, I'm an artist and my art is improving but I feel so uneasy and impatient for it to work out, I fear being independent and have a hard time earning my own money and I fear being independent and go my own way away from my parents house, this video came in such a great moment for me personally, I relate to your comment a lot bro, hopefully we all will find out our paths
this film really broke me the sound track can honestly still kill me even after 2 years
Jesus Christ mark, you got me emotional enough by bringing up "your name" but the conclusion to your story had me in utter tears
So happy for you man ❤
Made it all the way to the end! Much thanks for sharing this with us Mark. A new chapter of your life will begin and i wish you all the best. May God be with you🙏🙏🙏🙏
Please leave a hearth❤❤❤❤❤
Damn Mark... That introduction and you revealing you wrote that comment gave me goosebumps across my entire body.
MY GOD! This story was SO sweet mark! Congratulations on making that decision and wih you the best of luck on this wonderful new chapter in your life! May God Bless you and family!
I have been a fan of mark now for years but this 8 minute video is the best content he has ever produced. This moved me. Your personal experience expressed as a short film with comparison to Makoto Shinkai's masterpiece was superb.
I first saw this comment years ago, around the time it was posted. When I first read it, I didn't even know who you were but I loved the comment. I discovered you through your One Piece videos. Went back to the Your Name video about a year or so ago when I was feeling nostalgic and realized the comment was yours. Made it feel even more special that I have been able to witness the results of the comment through your videos!
It just goes to show how powerful media like anime can be and the things that it can teach you. I think all of us have been impacted like this in some way and as a result they contributed to who we are today
Congratulations man
This is so touching. Congrats, you two! You’re going to be incredible parents!
If you were worried about the presentation before, I think you nailed it here 👏
Really painted a picture with the words given, it’s so nice ❤
Seeing Mark feels so surreal, always thought he was paranormal SCP entity, unless he is in human disguise
Walter, I see you everywhere I go, but you presumably died in 2013. How is this possible?
Mark! I used to think your Mob Psycho reviews were your best work. But you easily topped it by sharing this intimate, personal, vulnerable review of how a feeling a film gave you had changed your life. You were able to articulate exactly why Your Name is powerful, too!
Congratulations! I wish you and your family the best. I am glad you are happy now!
I didn't want to cry today mark, thanks.
But seriously, beautiful. I think everyone that connects with Your Name has a similar story, it speaks to your heart in a way that no other film does. For me, I first saw it during the pandemic. I watched it because the Netflix trailer had a song in English, and as a dub watcher I was excited to finally watch a dub with English music! Turns out the version on Netflix only had the Japanese version, so I got bait and switched.
But I couldn't stop thinking about it. I had an overwhelming urge to watch it the next night, and watched it twice in a row. I must have seen it about 10 times over the next 6 weeks.
For me, it's a reminder that connections with other people can be the most powerful force in the world. It's a bittersweet reminder that I'll likely die alone and never have that connection, but at least I could vicariously experience it through Mitsuha and Taki because Shinkai made such a masterpiece.
It's the only film that can reliably make me cry, at the beginning in anticipation of what's to come, in the middle at the climax, and at the end when they meet. And, of course, when a RUclipsr makes a well crafted video about how it touched them in an equally profound way.
I personally don't like this movie... HOWEVER I love this video, It's amazing that this movie helped you return to your love, and changed your life for the better. Great video Mark, and congratulations.
I'm curious, why do you not like Your Name?
@@Orion_44
Since writing this comment, I've been rewatching this movie. I gotta say this comment is going to be a lot more subjective and more about how I feel about things than objective facts.
This movie is a movie that fills me with pent up frustrations and its hard to pin point why, when I have frustrations I have to pause get up and walk around and just talk as the characters in a scene that is frustrating me.
I think when secrets have to be kept it makes shit worse for me, because now there is a character who can just say oh hey I was a girl here I remember flipping a desk over in that building, oh and down there I built a table and chair out of wood with my friend Tashi, the memory loss helps this a bit but it doesn't fix shit.
I think Taki is one of the biggest of these frustrations, it feels like he's a simp who gets the bonus of saving the town but he is mostly focused on Mitsuha, saving Mitsuha, and trying to minimize the hurt from this experience, which kind of sucks because we got to see build up friendships and relations with everyone around town. We also got to see him go from this guy who is all "I'm a masculine man Imma start a fight." to "Hey I'm fucking done with everyone I'm going to intimidate you instead.".
I think a problem is that the way to my heart are shows and movies that are about childhood trauma, which means this movie didn't get that extra bonus, so when I get these frustrations I can't over look as much.
Also the repeating boob squeezing joke that happened every time Taki is in her body was annoying every time, except for the last time when he was crying because he's done it, he got to the day of the comet again.
I think I like the movie best when Mitsuha is having fun with Okudera and when Taki as Mitsuha is being bros with Tashi while Natori is like "Somehow I'm the only girl here." (None of my quotation marks are literal quotes more like this is a generalization of the feelings in a sentence.)
Sorry for this long ass comment, I had to string my thoughts together into a coherent sentence.
TLDR; Taki is a time manipulating simp, and I'm weird.
I'm 16,dont know what's gonna happen in future,and This puts a smile on my face, gives me hope that there's something to look forward to in life,and finally props to the editor this is edited masterfully
Saw a new TNM vid and thought “Oh goodie, something to watch while I eat”. Safe to say I forgot about eating and was entranced while listening to this wholesome story. Always great listening to others testify about taking risks that come out with great results. Congrats Mark!
This is definitely in my list of "best RUclips videos that humanity rightfully doesn't deserve".
Thank you mark for being such an amazing guy always making my day better
This is not like the usual videos we see on this channel, thank you Mark for... being open and personal with us.
And congratulations, now it's a new chapter in life, I'm sure you will do great! And you're not alone in that path, keep moving forward, knowing your decision was the best you did.
Ahh you're making me so envious, good for you Mark. Thank god for anime for making you go to the person you love, like threads connected by fate.
Damn, such a beautiful story.
This is beautiful, I literally teared up watching this (I'm at work, so I thought it best not to start bawling my eyes out).
I love it when themes in anime resonate with our lived experiences. So often it's fun to escape to another world and forget our real-world problems, but there's so much beauty in learning lessons about ourselves, our circumstances, and our lives through a well-told story.
What a story and better yet that's great news, Mark. Congratulations! I hope the next couple of months go smooth for you, 'cause it will be a big challenge for you and your wife. Best of luck as always, I know you'll pull this through.
Watched this movie last year, just a fantastic masterpiece of art. ❤
Wonderful story Mark.
Great way to build up to you writing the comment. You caught me off guard.
Your Name is a great movie, and although I didn't resonate with it as much as some people, I'm glad it helped so many discover what's most important in life.
My main gripe with the movie is how neither lead recognizes that they're in a different time, which is jarring when they constantly use their cellphones.
That was beautiful man. We can’t let fear stop us from truly living. I’m glad to hear that you went after what your heart longed for.
Mark, this was truly some of your best work and an incredibly touching story. I remember having a rather intense reaction to this movie when it released and although I didn’t take any particular actions following, something about this hit very close to home. Your videos have always resonated with me in a very special way and each time you out do yourself. Thank you for all you do for us and being as creative and genuine as you can be while doing it.
bro this is such a beautiful and heartwarming story about your personal experiences wtf.. and that ending was fucking amazing.. I wish my girlfriend and I will end up like you two did.. this is actually insanely good
The greatest stories have humble beginnings, appreciate you Mark sure you’ll be a great family man!
Beautiful Mark! Thank you for sharing this part of your life with us it's a beautiful story. ❤️
Congratz Mark ! I don't usually comment at all but I wanted to say that your story is inspiring for me, it made me open my eyes on something in my life. I wish you the best, Mark and to whoever sees this too
Such a beautiful story. I was honestly hoping for a review on Your Name since you mentioned on doing one in the past, but this was even better. It's so crazy to believe the impact that this movie has had on you and so many other people. Your Name and 5 Centimeters Per Second have significantly impacted my life for the better. I'm just hoping that maybe one day I'll find someone that I truly love and can tell them that it'll all be okay.
What a way to announce a pregnancy. Congrats man. I had this same connection to this movie and was in a similar scenario at the time.
This is something that I really needed to see and hear in my point of life. I don't know how to express what I feel watching this, but sure thing it might just change my life too. Such a heartwarming video and motivating at the same time. Thank you very much.
Biggest plot twist ever
got me shedding thug tears, congrats mark
Well, I needed a good cry today.
Love your content and love your heart, Mark!
Thanks for this awesome video!
I’ll never forget the first time I watched Your Name. It definitely changed me. I sat there for some time just trying to figure out all it meant. It wrecked me for weeks and gave me a new appreciation for my relationship with my wife.
What a beautiful story, Mark. You got me tearing up at the end. Congrats to you for making such a big decision. I am kind of in the same boat (albeit not as drastic). I am going to move to a different state, 1,000+ miles away from my family and job, because I want to be with my girlfriend. I just recently accepted a new job there, and I’m so excited to start a new life with her! Again, thank you. You gave me even more confidence in my decision.
This was beautiful. Thank you, Mark, for being open about this and sharing your story. Honestly, this got me to rethink some things myself, and I think I'm gonna send a few messages to a few people. Thank you again.
This video has pointed me in a direction I thought was impossible to grasp, that my thinking and self doubt was the expectation and to not take a chance, i now understand that running away from my feelings when someone who i have dreams about every day and think about constantly while i desperately try and distract myself isnt going to fix anything, that living with my doubt and sadness, expecting the worst, and that it wouldn't end up how i dreamed it was and is the wrong way of moving forward. I'm going to tell him how i really feel and show him my final conviction
That was just beautiful what the hell…
You really are THAT GUY Mark..
Congrats on the future you hold dude, wish nothing but the best 🙏
That movie must be a literal masterpiece. Actually lifechanging and inspiring, thanks for sharing this with us Mark.
Congratulations, Mark! Thanks for sharing this with us, it was really wholesome and heartwarming
im gonna cry just listening to the background music, this movie is my favourite piece of fiction
That’s an amazing and insane story. It’s insane that people say it’s just an anime, because to a lot of people it is much more.
Kind of makes me wish something like that would occur in my life. Who knows still might occur, but knowing me probably won’t.
This is what we're here for. To love one another. To grow with one another. Finding that person and taking that leap that'll bring us to a place we never thought we'd have or deserve. Creating life is a special feeling and I wish you and your partner, nothing but best in your adventures. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll get frustrated, but if you endure.. it's one of the most rewarding feelings.
Congrats!
Thank you for sharing the story Mark. This was really heartwarming and it definitely opens my eyes to a lot of aspects of life. Your Name is an absolute master class of a film that I would watch multiple times and to see You share your story and see the outcome of it, It was definitely a spectacle.
ye ye, the part when she opens up her hand made me cry like the first 3 times i watched it. it's such a short sentence yet there probably isn't one more powerful. and to find it in the place you least expect it when you're feeling down and unable to get up...i don't have words for it
Dang man why you got me out here crying like this? Once you said "was it worth it" i thought to myself if he shows a pic of him and her married im gonna cry and u showed those rings and then the freaking ultrasound and i just started crying dude. Congrats, not a lot of people in this world get something like that or and ending like that with that person, so im really glad you did.
Mark out here making great content all the time, but I wasn't expecting to be crying tears of happiness by the end of this video
Mark's haircut though
I'm so happy for you!
It's great that you have seen one of the few chances to grap in order to build a happier life!
The movie made feel something different than happy in the end even though it was arguably on the happier note. It was more align to nostalgia of a once happier time and somewhat envy that both MCs have successfully took their chances of happiness.
Damn it I didn't need those feels today Mark but I'm glad you shared and happy that decision all led up to the way your life is now
Man, I love crying for stuff like this, it makes me feel alive and human.
What a person Mark is, what a story.
Thank you for these tears of joy, and most importantly congratulations.
Sending all my love to you and your family.
Thankfully, I watched this video at home. That saved me from embarrassing myself in public! Thank you so much for sharing your vulnerability Mark. Congrats and I wish you all the best for the future!
I recently watched this movie for the first time, and not only is it easily the greatest animated piece of media I have ever seen, it is now my 6th favorite film of all time
This movie emotionally moved me in ways I have encountered with only 2-3 other movies out of the dozens I have seen in my life
On top of that, this is one of the few films I can watch on constant repeat bc i love it so much
Great video mark, and its cool to hear your connection to this movie after watching it for myself finally
thank you for your story Mark. I was not expecting this kind of video from you but your story was moving and I think its wonderfully poetic that something so intrinsically woven into your passions and career that you poured plenty of time into turned around and returned the favor by telling you what you couldn't tell yourself.
I have always loved the general message in any piece of media that we don’t realize what we had until we have lost it or are away from it. It’s painful, beautiful, tragic, and reminds you to live in the moment and feel and care for people and things while you have them.
My best friend showed me this movie and I'll never forget it. It was such a great experience I'm glad you shared your tale with this movie. Keep it real Mark.
Beautifully articulated story, beautiful ending. Wishing you the best Totally Not Mark!
Thank you for the reminder. I needed it.
So often, people talk about fiction as an escape from reality, but I find my favorite stories help lead me through it.
Even if it's a real story, it takes someone with great skill to tell it as effectively as you did.
One of the best reveals in anime history in my opinion. Doesn’t have to be a hidden bad guy, just a message nobody expected him to write.
Thank you Mark for sharing your story.
Your name is one of my favourite movies ever and hearing stories like yours just makes it better.
Bro thank you so much for making this video and being vulnerable here and in so many other videos. The heart in all of your work is something I hope to emulate in my own videos one day. Keep being you homie! And congratulations that one hell of a love story!!
Good for you Mark.
i swear this man has made me cry more times than i would like to admit
I was not expecting that last part by the end of the video.... just wow
Congratulations man!!!!
This was an amazing video. Keep on living life with the person you love, Mark!
Literally him

Probably the single best hook in AniTube History.
Ayyy! Congrats Mark. And what a beautiful story to share with us, thank you!
i think we all know this video's fake. Mark? Having a girlfriend? HAH!
In all seriousness though, your message in this video was quite touching ❤️
One of the most emotional videos I've ever seen, congrats on the big news Mark!
Congrats Mark, to both of you, it may be a tough journey, but make treasure of every moment of it, times sure flies
This was such an endearing message to listen to. I was so worried at first from the title.
Congratulations you three! 🎉
What a beautiful story ❤ This film was and still is really impactful for me too. For a lot of different reasons. That connection portrayed is something I admire beyond words and I hope to meet someone with that connection myself someday.
I don't know a lot about your personal life but congratulations to the both of you. Can't wait to see what you do next!
This video just hit me in a way I didn’t think I would ever be hit by a video before. It reminded me of myself in a way, because when I watched the movie I felt the same, I mean I didn’t move to Japan and I still haven’t but there is this one girl who I felt strong feelings for at the time when I watched it and I told her how I felt, thanks to the movie. Of course it ended with me and her being together for a while, but like all things in life that wasn’t a certainty, bcuz look at me now, I’m single again and I’m currently working on myself.
I will admit though I haven’t given up. Although it may not be with her but I’m certain there’s somebody out there. There’s some girl out there who I’m gonna have those feelings for again and I am certain when I do find her I’m going to love her with all my might, because this movie taught me what it means to truly jump at the chance to say what I wanna say to the woman I love.
DUDE!!! CONGRATULATIONS. WHAT A WAY TO SHARE THIS MESSAGE OF JOY WITH THE WORLD!!!
Damn Mark, I am gonna be honest here, I initially skipped this video thinking "oh here we go, another analysis of Your Name." Its a hard pill to swallow but I think life has battered me enough so far that I think I have slowly become jaded over the years. Experience is important and memories (amazing and awful) still make up who I am today and I would not change them for the world. You in the end may not read this considering how big your following is now but I felt the need to wish you the best and thank you for sharing a bit of yourself with us. I find it hard living sometimes. Now I don't want to make it sound I'm at a knife's edge. What I mean is to truly live. Am I really doing all that I can with the time that I have? Am I cherishing the people I have and the love I can give? Objectively speaking, I am finishing out my school soon, I will be joining the work force, and I have made quite a few iron clad bonds that I can be proud of. Sadly, I did lose quite a lot of close people along the way and I think that scares me to form new connections. All I can say now is that I hope one day I can find that person who greets me with understanding and acceptance and that I can reciprocate that exact same sentiment.
Thanks again and I wish you and your family all the best.
P.S. I think Your Name was a solid movie. I think maybe it was a bit overhyped given that it came out during a very stagnant time, and the ending kinda rubbed me the wrong way. I really thought for a moment that not giving his name was the wrong move. I thought maybe they could not make it work because how is she supposed to find him in the end. Like I said, I've gotten a bit petty and jaded over the years. I think it might be time to check out the movie again. Best to refresh my perspective, things tend to get way too negative or positive as the years go by. At this point I'm rambling but if you made it this far, I hope you have a lovely day.
This was awesome Mark, it really struck a chord within me as I have tried to make my life work away from where I grew up two times and had have a hard time doing it and finding success. Even having tongo back once for years before recollecting myself and trying again after gaining the confidence to give it one more shot. Thanks to this video I feel more energized and confident both in myself and that I took the right decision.
I've come across your work in a "wish I'd found you earlier" type scenario, however glad that The Algorithm recommended me your DB reviews a couple weeks ago. Your takes on some of the anime I've loved across far too many years of viewing has rekindled my joy of this art form, and led me to share it with my young son (currently chugging through One Piece and DBZ with him, both series I've known their impact, but at the time couldn't enjoy by myself).
Watching your FMA:B blind reviews reminded me I hadn't watched this, despite loving the original series 'back in the day', for.... "REASONS". Be it life, laziness, or just falling off the anime bandwagon, I forgot how much joy I had watching stories like this. I'm now up to ep. 57 and have sneered and cheered at my screen so many times = that I thought I should jot a few words on one of your videos. So will stop typing soon...
As much as Your Name impacted your life in an absolutely amazing way, what you create has ripples as well. You've definitely helped me connect to the most important person in my life with something new for him. Would have happened at some point I'm sure, but you were definitely the spark for it.
I wish you continued success and look forward to finding new or long missed opportunities for further anime sessions as I go back through your old videos / await your new ones.
I would have never thaught that I would cry over a video of that anime RUclipsr I used to watch when DB Super was airing. I wasn't ready for this. I'm so happy for you and wish you all the best
Couldn’t be happier for you Mark! In tears after watching this amazing video. Thank you for sharing such a moving and emotional part of your life with us all! Wishing you profound love and happiness in all the years to come.
Thank you very much for sharing this with us! And Congratulation!!!! I wish all the best for you and your family :)
Congratulations on everything with you and your family Mark. Way to take the chance
You should've said more about the movie, I've never heard THAT much. It just seemed like some pretty animation and a fine, cute little story! My sister was the only one who felt that hard about it
That was a really moving story. Thank you for being vulnerable enough to share it. I hadn’t heard of this movie before, but I really want to watch now!
