A weeaboo is somebody who is obsessed with the Japanese culture or a specific part of Japanese culture and thinks they know everything about it. However, they actually end up disrespecting the culture while criticizing their own. Keep in mind a non-Japanese person can watch anime, learn the culture, learn the language and respect it while keeping in touch with their own culture without being labeled as a "weeaboo".
The Anime Man when you realize that the RUclips community that you know is actually a small world Joey you had work with Domics, Lilypichu, are you dating akidearest...now Gigguk? wow So, I just wanted to say, keep making videos, and I love you content, greetings from Mexico :)
I am not gonna lie when I clicked this video I expect a meme. But after watching this, holy fuck I had to subscribe, honestly the most amazing video about anime I've ever seen. This is honestly why I enjoy anime, it's not all fanservice, and memes. There are shows that make me break down in tears in one minute then make me laugh the next. Truely an amazing video 10/10.
If you want a few feels filled or generally amazing anime then Erased, A Silent Voice, Your Name, the Monogatari series, Clannad, Angel Beats, MAYBE Sagrada Reset, The World God Only Knows, Re:Zero kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu, maybe No Game No Life, maybe the Fate/Stay series, Boku No Hero Academia, MAYBE Accel World. This is a list of some anime I've seen, they're anime I would recommend someone to watch, those with a "maybe" next to them are things that are lower on the list of quality although they're still something I enjoyed considerably. If you look at the "Maybe" anime then don't expect some masterpiece but I'm sure you'd enjoy it regardless.
This is why I get upset with people who refuse to watch anime just because its anime, I feel sorry for them because they are missing out on such a beautiful and different world of storytelling just because it's from Japan, I feel sorry for them because I was one of them Edit: Just finished watching Clannad After Story and my life has been changed, thank you anime
Same here Really feel sad for people who is missing one of the most genuine and beautiful entertainment medium/Art form I always saw people talking about anime online , thinking some people can't grow up Then i watched Death Note It almost changed my life from then I don't know how much it all changed by this medium It's a bit cringey to say it but the medium has a huge impact in my life Maybe it's same for many others too
It's like when I explained to a friend that anime makes me feel the same way now as cartoons used to make them feel as a kid, if not better. They tried arguing against it but in the end they're the ones missing out, anime will always hold a special place in my heart as do the same cartoons they once enjoyed
I was one of those people, I thought of weebs like a bunch of sad degenerates and I didn't want to watch because of it. Then, I listened to a song that I thought was a real banger. I saw the comments of the yt video and they said that it was very similar to the Your Lie in April op, so I watched the op. Around this time was when I started hanging out with weebs and I just said fck it and watched YLIA, it was only 22 episodes. I binged the entire series in a day.
Its funny yet amazing how a mere 10 minute video can explain my love and connection for anime and move me to tears at the same time. I dont think anyone could've done it better
You're hot the only one who was tearing because of this video. I just recognized there are other people who can understand how i felt while i was watching this video and also while i was watching the movie
But lets be honest here life is shit. There are no people flying cuz hoodiky magic, or a superhero robot, no we don't have space planes that can go super far and really fast cuz life real and real is shit.
I was a very lonely child. I had no friends, I was homeschooled, I interacted with no one but my two brothers. My mother was a mentally and physically abusive person. Every day I would be told how I looked like a gypsy, how I didn’t know how to dress appropriately, how I didn’t know how to brush my hair, how my only friends in life would be a couch and a tv because my personality was so bad. I found friends online in a forum where I would rp for as long as my parents would allow. Then, one of my role play buddies mentioned this thing called anime. I had never heard of it before so I decided to look up this anime called Wolf’s Rain that was recommended to me by my friend. This was in the glorious days of dial up internet. I had to wait for my parents to be done with the computer, my brothers not to need it, and for no phone calls to be expected. The opening scene of Wolf’s Rain played before me and Johnny Young Bosh’s voice hit my heart instantly. What was this? This is a cartoon. Why is it serious? Aren’t cartoons supposed to be funny? I was overwhelmed. I was sucked into this beautiful, amazing story the likes of which I had never seen before. I watched Wolf’s Rain every chance I got. I finally reached the last episode. My parents and brother had gone to the grocery store together and I stayed home to watch the finale. My soul was shattered. My heart, broken. I cried. I sobbed out loud. I had never been impacted by any type of media to cry out loud, EVER. I felt completely empty inside. What the hell was this feeling? I can clearly remember thinking “I can’t watch anymore anime. There is absolutely nothing that can top this.” I had never fucking looked at any other series ever up to this point so obviously I was very wrong lmao! The next anime I started watching was Ghost Hunt. I don’t know why, but it was dubbed and I wasn’t too keen on “subbed cartoons” at the time as I felt it was a bit weird. After that, the next one I watched was Code Geass. I was sucked in immediately and I crammed through the series as much as I could. At the finale I was once again heart broken and left with an utterly empty soul. It was then that I truly realized how amazing anime is. I was never interested in the shows and cartoons my brothers watched and I didn’t understand why. There were two cartoons that I religiously watched however and that was Legend of the Dragons and Avatar the Last Airbender. Now I’m currently at 323 completed series and I can honestly say that anime has literally changed my life, and possibly even saved it when I was going through some extremely rough times. Sorry for this long post. I know no one will probably read this, but I feel a lot better knowing that my feelings about this subject exist in the physical world now. All of my love goes to everyone who has been through those tough times where only the distraction of the many worlds of anime provided comfort.
Behind every story is an author who is trying to connect with people. This really made me open my eyes. Now, those 3 star novels on NU doesn't look so bad anymore.
Aoi Bungaku is the perfect example of this. It's an anthropology anime series based on books by authors who were, let's just say, really f*cked in life. One of them even struggling to connect with people.
I actually clicked because, seeing Kanna, I expected something hilarious. I actually got hit with a sledgehammer of feels crafted with such expertise that I can only applaud you as a genius.
Gigguk. I don’t know you. I’ve never met you. I will probably never meet you, talk to you or even get to message you online. Through the vastness of the world and the shortness of life you making this video, and me commenting on it, is likely the closest thing to communication, to connection, to friendship that we will ever be. And yet, watching this, in hearing you say words I’ve looked for but could never find, has perhaps helped me more than the majority of actual friends I’ve had in my life. In ten minutes. I was in awe when I saw my first anime, when a friend of mine sat me down in a dimly lit room and showed me the first episode of Bleach. I cherish the time when I watched Murder Princess, a low budget 6 episode anime with my best friend and us falling in love with it together. But more importantly, anime was there when nothing else was. When nothing else could be there for me, I could find comfort and connection and motivation in anime. I’ve found fan sites and fan art and fan fiction that has been engaging and beautiful and life changing. And I found you. Someone I’ll likely never know, who just summarized all of that into one RUclips video, that explains all of my rambling better than I could. In such a way that I can show this to people and go, “This. This is why.” and know that they will understand, even if only a little. And that means a lot. So thank you, Gigguk. From one stranger to another, thank you so, so much. R.A.V.
"How sad and detached from reality we must be, but that's just it. Some of us wanted that break from reality, and there's nothing wrong in that. We built walls to protect ourselves from getting hurt, shut the gate and threw away the key because it's safer to stay closed, protected from the cruel words of a fellow human being." -Gigguk 2019 Got struck by these words bruh...
One of the biggest moments for me was in Re: Zero when Emilia layed Subaru's head on her lap and without knowing what was going on with him said "it's been hard hasn't it". That simple question made him break down and I felt that hard. People don't often understand what we're going through because they aren't us, and we yearn to be understood and consoled. The whole scene just made me feel warm and for a moment that I had that.
that was one of the moments for me re:zero was the first anime i watched and it was 3 years ago honestly anime is not just entertainment, it's kind of a mixture of escapism and trying to channel those feelings into reality. it gives a perspective to appreciate life.
I watched this video then watched this movie and i cried so hard. I’m blind in one eye so I’m disabled and it’s really hard for me. I developed a severe form of depression along with suicidal thoughts. People began to treat me different because i couldn’t do a lot of what i used to be able to do anymore. I had to relearn to walk because my balance had almost faded away with the lack of sight and depth perception. I never got my license because i couldn’t drive without hitting something or running off the road because what looked 10 feet away to me was actually 5. That lead to me having to ask people to drive me around so that lead to people becoming agitated with me or just not wanting to be around me. I didn’t understand why it had to be me that this happened to. It wasn’t fair. Not to me, but to the people around me. I felt they shouldn’t have to deal with me and what trouble i caused them. I made two attempts at my life, but gave up before i could do anything because i couldn’t understand what i meant by doing this. Eventually, i gave up on ever being happy again. Then my husband came along. I never knew i could be happy like this. He saw past my disability and saw who i was. He drove me everywhere i needed to go and even helped me find a EMS dog to help my pain. When i saw this movie, i cried. I felt the pain these characters felt, i understood the struggle they go through on a daily basis and everything they did to help each other. He gave up thing for her while my husband gave up things for me. I couldn’t hold my tears back. I held my husband a little bit tighter that night because i couldn’t believe someone actually got what i felt.
Human waste here.... im a 20 years old NEET here..first born from 4 kids that my parent had.... i've been thru depression so hard that i think.... Man... why does my parent waste so much stuff/money Just for me... whats the benefit from keeping trashes like me around... not a single day pass without thinking about taking my own life.... i dont fear the pain... what i fear the most is.... imagening my beloved lil brother cry... that.... that just hurt a lot.... thats the one reason keeping me alive now... why cant i just go silently without hurting anyone.... thats what i hate.. i have a great life... good school, great family, we're not rich but we manage to have a lot of fun as family Holiday abroad.... but man... seeing how i've Failed my family i just want to dissapear.... i've been teach my whole life to be like perfectionist well they didnt exactly teach me... i drill that to my self maybe. i've always thinking that "Trash needed to be disposed" yeah as a kid ive always had like elitism in me... i have this mindset that Trash should be disposed stuff like that.... then i realise in the end im Trash now... and im confused as fuck.. why didnt my family dispose me? why dont they throw me away? after all of those things they say to me when i was a child. "if you're useless we will throw you to the street,SO LEARN,WIN AND DONT BE A LOSER" thats where my elitism came from they drill that to my head so hard...then i ask... WHY DONT U THROW ME... IM LIVING TRASH HERE. yet they wont answer.... My Lil bro Lived very diffrient than me you can say he lived in better condition than me.... as if i was born as a commoner.. he was born as ROYAL... but i did not hate that in fact im so gratefull that my lil bro would go thru what i had to go thru... i loved my lil bro so much that i dont want my parent make the same mistake as they did to me. i want to protect this lil child.... yeah to sum it all.. thats the reason im still alive " i want to protect this lilttle child"... Ahh man... i cried writing this..... i know that i dont make much sense to you i guess after reading your comment im touched or something.... when/if you have a child pls... love them... love them but dont forget to teach them too... dont tell them that you will abandon them, dont compare them to anyone/anything.... and dont break your promises from the child.. no matter how small. and i know its ironic coming from me. if you're sad or not happy, hate your self, remember those who loved you so much..... i wish.... i wish in the end i get a happy ending like yours. Sincerly, Living Breathing human Trash... P.S: Man..... anime is like a thin line im holding on to keep me going.
I am in a similar situation, there are good days, there are some bad, but I have found some happiness trying to help people and being useful, good luck buddy.
Allyson Hilterbrand i've got into an accident before that make my right hand broke, and my face got fucked because of that... i use to really hate that happen, but now i dont really care about it as i grow older cuz if that happen it's part of me.... and KnK was the anime that make me forget that, cuz now i just thinking there are people out there that have more problems than i do
Zulhardika Rendy Permana im also blind in one eye and yes ive been ridiculed for it but at the same time i managed to find my true friends because of it. i know the pain you have probably gone through and will continue to deal with but please know there are true people who can be the best of friends and also people who can be scum of the earth but plz keep on living as best as u can. life is too precious to just give to death so make death work for it until you/ I/and everyone else has found our true family, friends, and lifes meaning because if somebody/nobody will support u i will to my full extent! also remember without black their wont be white without good their wont be evil their both always there for all of eternity so just find the right people to stand by and lean on when u need it the most😀
Santa Australia I'm unsatisfied with my life because I'm not able to shape shift into a dragon with 28 hot bitches on my dick and fight all day without long time harm and have a special thing called plot armor.
Yeah.. It was the first and only medium that was able to bring tears to my eyes and its continues to be that much emotionally rich.. Thanks kyoani and the god of anime.
A silent voice became the movie that meant something to me. It always tears me up to see all the bad things that happened and the good ending where no one was sacrificed. I've dealt with depression. Ive dealt with being bullied because of my personality being different in high school. I've tried killing myself a couple times but always half assed it or chickened out. Everytime I watched a silent voice, I've always felt the pain of being different from everyone else, but as I got older, my eyes opened more and I realized there were others that were dealing with the same situation as me or didnt see me as weird. Ive gained friends who accept me for who I am and I care deeply of them as well. I'm still dealing with depression from time to time, but I'm definitely stronger than who I was years ago. I'm currently in my senior year of college on my way to becoming a psychologist because I know how painful it is when you feel as if no one is there to help you and having the feeling of the isolation that you never wanted. I want to try and help those around me to seek the better side of times and help cope and destroy the negativity that the world has been given to him or her. I'm glad my attempts to kill myself never worked out or else I wouldnt have had what I'm going for today. For those reading this, thanks for hearing me out, and if you feel as if nothing is working, talk to a friend, find someone who you can trust and make something of it. Just get some assistance any way you can whether it be talking to a person or even going outside and enjoying nature. Be yourself and be who you are, because one day, those who have looked at you in a negative way will probably have a shittier life later in the years. To those who bully people for being different, you're probably in the same boat as there rest of us, but fuck you.
Honestly, your story really resonated with me. At the moment I'm nearly done with my own study in clinical psychology, while having a similar backstory to yours. My life has been tough to the point where even those in group therapy become shocked. That said, I honestly resonate more with the fact in how continuing despite the terribleness that life can be, can lead you to sights you never imagined before. I think that's also one of the things which make me resonate with anime as well. Despite all the darkness which life can have, if you just keep going and aiming for betterment, at some point the clouds break and some sunlight can come in. The last year has been dreadfully intense, with internship, projects, cramming, and a good 70h+ a week for 9 months straight; but now when i'm at the end of my year... all of a sudden i'm getting reactions from people that i would have never expected with clients really hoping for the best for me, and going out of their way to show their appreciation. Life can be great... but it is only when you've experienced the blackness it can be that you learn to value those moments for what they are. When you don't take things for granted. Thank you, I felt a bit bitter for some reason, but your response resonated with me in a way I didn't expect. So again, thanks for sharing.
Thank you for making this video, Gigguk. It joins my other favorites from you "The Perfect Anime" and "You'll Grow Out Of Anime... Eventually". You managed to capture so much of what makes anime my preferred medium. I wish I could express my emotional connection to it (and to other people who enjoy it) as well as you do. Fantastic work. Thank you.
Dude you definitely hit the spot man. I've watched anime since I was 10. And now that I've grown up. I was introducing anime to my kids and my son loved anime. He passed away in July and I'm still dealing with the grief and it took a while for me to do anything that me and my son did together. But I started watching anime again and I watched your lie in April. And I lost it. The feelings you were explaining just overflowed into me.. Thank you giguk. You are awesome man
I'm sorry for your loss. I watched Your Lie in April two months after my mother passed - I didn't expect to connect to that anime on the level that I did, nor did I expect to cry as long or as hard as I did.
i just fucking regret why i discovered this video recently... thanks Gigguk, for speaking up where i couldn't even think of what words to say to express my feelings. Thanks for being a representative for the Anime community, not just as a whole, but for us as fans who just can't help but get and feel a very deep, personal, and emotional connection with these characters. In the end, i don't think they're merely 2 dimensional characters at all. Best of everything for you, Gigguk. I'll always continue to love and support you and this channel. I'm in tears, but don't worry! They come because of joy!!!
Thanks Gigguk, this is honestly your best video. People often than not care too much about style and structure, forgetting what makes a piece of fiction great in the first place. After a few years of watching anime and studying fiction writing here and there, a year ago or so I came up to a conclusion: The best anime are the ones that give you a powerful emotional experience. And in your own way you put up all of this together in this video. Once I said somewhere in a review (sort of) that anime needs to be more "human". I guess our community needs to be more human too. And I hope your video can, not change people's minds, but open ways into making this a better community.
During this year. I had this horrible teacher. She kept marking my grade down for the stupidest things like not putting tre dates properly or we should write something down like this even though people in the real world do do that. I started to read Vento Aureo. I read the chapter where Fugo backstory was revealed. He was a high intelligence kid but he never got along with his peers. His peers were always against him. He developed an anger issue. He was a character I can relate to.
You made me stop feeling alone with that. There was a teacher that completely ruined my life, as yours, he made everything that was on his hands to make me fail on marks. Thank you.
I am a very introverted person. I rarely leave my room and interact with anyone. However, I love walking with my headphone, but afraid of my physical endurance. Hibike! Euphonium inspired me to follow my passion despite not knowing what lies ahead. So, I started walking for an hour each day, but with the same route, everyday. It was really easy and convenient since I know the way and know it took exactly an hour. I am afraid of changing my route since what if I got lost, or what if it takes longer, or what if things go wrong, etc. But after watching A Place Further Than The Universe, I decided to turn another way and walk.The new path was... not that impressive; in addition, it took me 2 hours to finish the trip. However, I finished with a smile on my face. Such things might seem small and insignificant for some people, but it was revolutionary for me, and it was thanks to anime.
I'm pretty picky about who I subscribe to, but you my friend have taken me off the fence. You, and your fan base. I really enjoy your videos because a lot of them speak to me on a personal level, and the people who are brought together by your videos are pretty great too. Keep up the good work on your content man, I really appreciate it. And to the fan base, stay classy friends.
nah anime mostly are for teenagers and adult there are some for kids though, so it's for all ages well but also depends on what anime cause you don't want a kid to watch *Another* or *higurashi no naku koro ni*
I respect you and I thank you for easing my heart for you have given me an example that I can still love anime, as I do now when I grow old. I was afraid that I will slowly lose my love for this medium as I start to get integrated into the society which does not view this pop culture in a favourable light, at least in my country. I was scared of the fact that eventually I will stop relating to the characters and stories, feeling this is too childish and it's now time to grow up. It's thanks to you that I believe that no matter how old I grow my heart will remain as that of a child wishing to live a thousand lives to connect, to feel the things I might never get a chance to do and while I might sound cheesy I really am grateful to you. I will remain a weeb for life even though I don't prefer the term in particular as it rhymes with weed.
Dammit, didnt expect to cry while watching this vid... Thank you Gigguk for explaining in words why so many people fall in love with anime and for reminding me why I love and relate to the ones I have a special attachment to. I will keep this video in mind whenever something just connects, be it anime, games, etc. cause you've got my sub! C:
I already knew Gigguk was going to say "it's to connect," right from the moment he said that people thought he was going to post videos to entertain or to be humorous. Because, anime is a picture, and a picture says a thousand words. Anime literally is the embodiment of whatever you wanted to say, because it is. With the amount of idealizations, realizations, familiarity, expression and experiences one can have, just a simple depiction in anime can really connect you in some form or another. Maybe it was the ideal girl you wanted from having your waifu, maybe it's a realization that you had while you were having a bad time through a scenario in a series, maybe it struck you with this feeling of longing and despair, maybe it made you want to let out everything you had inside you, and maybe, just maybe, anime made you share one more little thing in your life. And that's the power of anime.
I had a time where everything (and i mean really everything) went wrong in my life, like the death of my Grandpa, school got worse, quarrels with dear persons, moneyissues and so on. i was depressed and i tried looking for something to distract me, to calm me down. Thats when i was watching more animes than ever before and when i saw Clannad season 1 and 2, My emotions, which where pent-up, started to burst out of that emotional blockade and i started to be lively again. It helped so much during that depressing phase and i never was depressed since then. With that beeing said, i am so happy that i saw this video. it made me glad that there was an evidence, which prooved that there where others that had simmilar circumstances and overcame them. And i whish that more and more poeple develop an understanding for unique intrests so that nobody mocks someone over such trivial things.
This made me cry a bit coz it’s true when gigguk said “sometimes you were a mask coz you’re not ready to show the world that you’re hurting” really reflected on me
For me it was Gintama. I know many people think it´s overrated and boring, but I don´t care. I went through a lot of trouble and disappointment, and I slowly started to become a empty shell of my former self. I couldn´t feel anything, I could talk to my crush, play my favorite game, and listen to the best music I could find, but nothing. Then I found Gintama. Somehow I couldn´t care less about real life people, yet that show seemed to somehow understood me. Many anime like Daily lives and Nichijou are funny, but they miss something. Other like Clannad and Your lie are sad, yet I couldn´t get myself to cry at the end. But with Gintama, I actually cried because how much I loved it. It made me feel when I thought I couldn´t anymore. It made me laugh, smile, cry, and it made me love the world. I know most people won´t understand this, but for me, it has kept me going. I was thinking about ending everything, and then I heard "If you´ve got time to fantasize about a beautiful death, why not live beautifully until the end.". Thank you Sorachi, you changed me for ever.
I still find that changing forever thing strange though. It completely changed my views on life, my sense of humor, and even how I act. My kids (if I ever get to have them) might ask me what inspired me the most, and my answer will be some Japanese drawing made by a Gorilla. A person I have never seen, never heard talk directly, nor have I seen his views at life, seems like a best friend. He projected himself through the art form. Many artists have this boring concept, yet talk a lot to make it sound better. They talk a lot, yet I still can´t feel them.
SkyRip is gintama really that good? I wanted to start watching it but never got around to it due to its length. Can someone explain why it's ranked so high on MaL and stuff?
I think I got you a little... The first time I tried gintama (the first episodes), I found it stupid, time after, watching a fight scene in youtube, I decided to give it another shot. And then, at the end, it wasn't the fights that caught me... It was this bizarre sense of humor which somehow I could relate, and the stories that felt so real... It's like gintama told me that it didn't matter if you were a failure, there still is a place for you in this world and there will always be someone that care about you! With so many different characters in this show, it's hard to no connect with someone that seems is talking directly to you...
SkyRip Those were the words that changed me, too. I always thought life was so hard, no amount of happiness it could bring would outweigh the bad. So I thought dying would be much easier. But I'm a coward, and could never kill myself. So I was just indifferent about life, I didn't care if I lived or died. I was like that for years. Then I heard those words, "If you have time to think of a beautiful death, then live beautifully until the end instead". That changed my life. I think I'm still fairly indifferent about life. If I die, I die. But I also think I'd still like to keep living.
These are seriously my favorite videos of yours Gigguk. I appreciate the comedic and analytical stuff, but nothing matches the somber and introspective tone of these videos. Please make more!
I always like these types of videos Gigguk makes. Just hearing him say all of these emotionally-touching words about anime,a topic that's looked down upon so much, is something that holds so much more value that I consider it a staple in our current world today that holds the world together.
I rarely comment on RUclips videos, but I had to leave a comment here. I watched this video and I cried and cried, mainly because how deeply I relate to every word you are saying in this video. There were times where everything was falling apart and I had no one, but I had anime, times were I got bullied but I managed to stick through because of anime, I even got bullied for watching anime and I still carried on and I pulled through. The fact that someone literally understands exactly what I’ve gone through and how anime has helped me in life without even knowing that I exist means the world to me. So thank you Gigguk!
Yeah Hearing the news that your Dad, Grandma, 2 Friends died is Sad, then going to school and getting rejected 4 times by your crush is Depressing, then you work hard and never had a rest for many days with many problems make you wanna die, Ive through all that and anime help get over it.
When I was a sophomore in high school, I had experienced this sense of the world as I understood it sliding away under my feet. I was set on a class track in my high school which lead to me taking AP European History, which for any unfamiliar with the type of class its a college level class on European history. That I was taking as a barely functional 16 year old. And to make the situation worse, the teacher acted like a dictator and would, legitimately, scream at us during class if we weren't able to cite lines from our textbook word for word. So, I was pretty terrified of the man and of the class in general. But I also felt a strange sort of enchainment to it, thinking that this is how college classes and the real world are actually like, and I have to get used to this rigorous sort of learning and memorization schedule that demanded I have no social or private life. So I started to become closed off from people and focused only on passing this Herculean exam that would decide the fate of my 16 year old life, not thinking about the consequences those type of choices would have on me. Then, about a week before the test, in the first week of May, while I was skimming through music to listen to while going over some terms from my notebook, a video caught my attention. It was a girl, in a bunny suit and playing a guitar, singing in front of a crowd of students from The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. I didn't know anything about this show besides the name, and the unconnected fact that TV Tropes loved the show (because it ruined my life). And I played the video just to listen to it, but when I glanced back at it I became transfixed by this girl singing. I didn't know what the hell the song was about or why she was singing, but every time it cut to her singing I felt this uncontrolled sense of raw emotion, like some sort of mix of sadness and regret. So I put down the notes and the homework, for the first time in months, and I looked up what this show was about. And I watched 6 episodes, which Ive sense gathered constituted the first season of the show.. I didn't think much of it, I even thought it seemed generic compared to the sense I got from the video. Haruhi seemed needlessly quirky, controlling and annoying, and I didn't think much of the other characters. But I kept watching it, up until the 6th episode. And I remember watching the whole section of Haruhi opening up her inner thoughts and discontent to Kou in her subconscious world, and her wishing she could escape from it all into a life more interesting, filled with excitement and fantasy and a sense of belonging. And then I realized Haruhi was me. And it was realizing this sense that I wanted to run away from reality, that I wanted more than the souless, mundane life I had grown to accept was all there was to reality that struck a chord in me that has never quite been replicated in anything I have experienced since, be it book, show, play, movie or any experience in real life. And once it was over, I continued my life as if nothing had really changed, and I was back to square one. But what was left was this feeling in the back of my head, a genuine melancholic feeling that my life was missing something to make it whole. And it was after exams, after my life sort of crashed and I started to loose all the friendships and connections I had made in my life up until that point and I started fighting depression for the first time, that sense of wanting something more from my life that was at the back of my head was one of the things that kept pushing me forward. It wasn't something I was constantly thinking about, and it wasn't what helped put my life back together in the end, but it was an emotional imprint that was left on me that has never been replicated and made me start to think about how I wanted to shape my life again, not just to accept how my life should be shaped by others. I haven't gone back to watch the show since then, and I don't have any burning desire to go and finish it either. I just see it as an experience I had once that connected with me on a deep level. And I appreciate it for being able to do that, at a time when I felt locked away from the rest of the world.
Wow, you really poured your soul out, and so few people recognized that. Its almost just as melancholic as you described in your story. A four paragraph, almost essay, about your experience, expertly worded and told. Yet it is so niche. I honestly dont know what to say
There are anime that can leave you crying because a character you really like died or left. There are also anime that don't make you cry as much. Instead, you think about and reflect things about yourself, what happened in the past, your beliefs, dreams, fears, etc. I love the fact that this video shows that anime is tearjerking or emotional not just because of a simple tearjerker scene. A lot of anime feel human, like they also have their own respective beliefs and dreams that we can connect to. Sorry for running around in circles. This video reminded me of when I finished shows such as Rakugo, Kare Kano, and Bojack (ik it's not anime) since they have left a huge mark in my life. Great video as always
thats a nice way of putting it. Some anime can really bring out emotion you don't want to fell not because they are bad emotions but because they are painful. Everyone has that anime that brings up the emotions in you with as little as a mention of their name.
Funny thing I didn't cry when I watched it, but I cried a lot when remembering it. Still, it is the most impactful media I've ever seen, made me think about so much things in my life. I was lucky to avoid being bullied or the bully throughout my younghood, but I definitely was a passive witness of it. Makes me think really hard on how stupid and meaningless all those harassment was. How much trauma it has brought for those who suffered from it, and how I could've done something different about it.
@@antoandroppa885 My experience was similar because when I watched the movie I thought it was a good movie but kinda overrated, then afterwards when I started thinking about it, I started remembering some great scenes like the amusement park sequence, the aftermath of Ishida falling etc. and I realized how great the movie actually is. Now I really want to rewatch it
@@bhavyadhuria2032 yeah. There are some scenes which were exagerated, like the sudden wake up and run... very unrealistic. The movie had to cut a lot of character development from many of the crew, so some of them felt a little bit flat. Those who read the manga often say the movie was an average adaptation. I haven't read it yet, but I can state it had it flaws. Still, it delivered its message so powerfully, right? Even now, about 2 years since I last watched, I find myself thinking about some scenes. What's the point of art other than making you wonder, right? Sometimes, we have to be less rational and let it be. That's how we find the beauty of this movie.
@@antoandroppa885 Yeah some scenes were a little unrealistic but I don't always want total realism in movies everytime, I enjoy it when sometimes in movies, they do irrational things based solely on emotions (and to create good cinematic moments of course). Also I'm from India and I watch bollywood movies, so I'm kinda used to being less rational while watching movies. It was only 2 hours so the makers had to probably cut the development of some characters, that makes sense. But if you are still thinking about this movie even after 2 years then I would say the makers of this film have achieved what they wanted to achieve and it just proves what a great movie this is
anime is soo varied that it gives the different perspectives hundreds to thousands of creator could offer. There's almost always a philosophical value that you could learn from all this. Rezero was something that touched me personally. Though I taught subaru was a shit guy.. I related to him.. i saw myself saying I was good around people better than me.. I saw myself just as shit as him.. but the difference was that I gave up ... so seeing him give up at the episode 18 resounded to me.. I saw myself.. I saw hopelesness that I could relate to... but after hearing rem's speach.. it gave me hope and realization honestly.. that there were people who care for me, people who see past my mistakes.. there those who love me for who I was. That I could start from zero.. i couldn't revert and past mistakes, but I could change, I should change.. watching that made me cry.. something that angel beats and anohana failed to do so.. seeing multiple perspectives gives you a appreciation for life.. for imagination for creativity..
theres much more to that show than mere character based story like slice of life stuff ... the jealousy actually was the only forced thing in the show andwasn´t even necessary ... the time travel based strategy , protecting the girls and being weak in a world full of fighters and only relying and fucked up at the same time on the painfull savepoint mechanic are much more prominent elements , and if you connect that much with it than theres something wrong with you
@@goku21youtub dude, yo, what's wrong WITH YOU? Personal connections to anime (or anything) is just that. PERSONAL. You'd have to be a shit character in an anime to be able to criticize a PERSONAL emotional reaction of a random person on RUclips.
It takes money to make an anime famous It takes time to make an anime long It takes skill to make an anime look visually great and It takes a heart which everyone of us have, to make an anime about something that's worth highlighting about.
A Silent Voice has changed my perspective on a lot. It's such a beautiful film and the ending scene never fails to make me tear up. And don't even get me started on the manga. The manga had such an affect on me and gave me a ton of new perspective on different things and has honestly changed me as a person.
2 of my favourite Gigguk videos (The Perfect Anime and The Greatest Thing Anime Has Done) were created by him after watching Your Name, and A Silent voice, which coincidentally are also 2 of my favourite series. Loved the Your Name movie and A Silent Voice manga.
Absolutely. His Your Name video honestly changed how I watch anime. His message of stop analyzing everything, just FEEL and let yourself be taken away by the show, really struck with me. This video though feels more of a personal and genuine message he's wanted to say to his fans for a long time.
Yup, I definitely love his comedy videos but these feel a lot more heartfelt, as if he's just saying whatever is on his mind and he needs to get out. Definitely a breath of fresh air.
Couldn't agree more. Both Your Name and A Silent Voice touched me in a way nothing else has, I absolutely love them, and the videos Gigguk made after watching them. Just how honest and heartfelt they are. Really helped change the way I look at some things and appreciate anime. The series put my thoughts on screen, but Gigguk is amazingly good at coming close to putting them into words.
thank you, the outside world sees us as sweaty weeaboos watching Japanese cartoons but there truly is something special about anime,I'm at a point in my life where I'm getting a grasp on who I am and how I feel,and I honestly would be sitting here in a deep depression without anime right now
"Me crying and laughing hysterically at the last episode of Anohana and trying to explain im not crazy and why it was sad to my mom who hasn't watched it"
You know people don't believe me when I say that watching Anime has changed me. I only recently got into Anime, almost a year now. I'm more of casual watcher and I haven't seen any of the popular animes (Dragon ball, Naruto, One piece , boku no pico, etc), but the few that I have watched have moved me in ways that I didn't think was possible. They connected with me at an emotional and spiritual level. When I am watching a good anime its like everything else fades away and I become truly immersed. Its almost as if its the only reality that exists. They motivated me to give my best to everything I do and made me realize that relationships are not just all warm and fuzzy feelings, there is turmoil at every turn, and that its times like these that test and strengthen the bond between people even more. Its funny how people just assume that all who watch Anime are introverted unsocial shut-ins. For me it was quite the opposite, I never really found the idea of making friends and socializing appealing. Listening to other people go on about how life has been treating them and trying to explain to them what I was going through always felt like a bother to me. But somehow seeing those characters in anime sharing happiness and going through difficult times together has awakened within me a desire to experience it all myself. I know its not gonna be perfect, but now I know that its not supposed to be perfect. I think that some people are good at socializing since the very beginning, they enjoy being in others company and expressing themselves. Others need a push, and that push can come from anywhere, maybe a novel,a movie or even something that happened to them irl, but mine came from this beautiful( and still greatly unexplored) world of anime.
Yes, to be truly enlightened anime fan, Boku No Pico must be watched at least three times to truly appreciate the rawness of... Ok. No, it's not a masterpiece ok -_-
I cried After so long bottled up after a break up failing multiple exams losing entire groups of friends a derailed career and just wholesome lost in life i saw this video and moved me to tears i related to everything he said. Damn
Fr this made me breakdown sobbing, it’s amazing to know that people are thinking the same things about the stuff I like. It’s comforting in a way that cannot be explained.
My grandpa on my dads side ended his own life last year, I was pretty much over it then Shelter came out. That gave me the final push to see that it'll be okay. God damn I teared up while typing this.,
Hope you feel better soon mate. I'm sorry i don#t know how to say this in english since it's not my first language, but i'm sorry for what happened. :( Much love fam :3
All my life i've never really grown up with a real home. My parents abandoned me at 7 and gave me up to a separate family. After about a year of living with them they became desperate and worked as truck drivers. Because of this I had to jump from house to house. Often with mentally abusive people, and other times with alcoholics who threatened to kill me. Because of this I turned into a mean person, I routinely bullied kids at my schools, got in trouble with the administration, and eventually, I became an outcast. I had no friends, no real family, I was completely alone. after the end of my eighth grade year my adoptive parents got into a severe accident. My father was badly burned and the impact nearly severed his spine. I convinced my parents to move to the capital of our state. My intention was to find a new school and start fresh. With my dad being so injured they agreed that they couldn't work on the road anymore, so we moved. My situation was still terrible. I was still an outcast, although it was my inability to connect with others. I had gone so long without friends that I had forgotten how to connect. I was bitter, and depressed. after a while I thought it was pointless to be angry, I'd rather feel nothing. Halfway through my freshman year I tried to commit suicide. I grabbed a handgun from my parents closet while they were away and I sat with it on my bed, the barrel pressed against my head. I couldn't do it. I was far too afraid. when you live in that mental state. Everything turns gray. your thoughts, your face, even the colors you see lack saturation. But one day I discovered Anime. I thought it was weird, but I enjoyed the way everyone got along together (Heavens Lost Property), and after I saw show after show after show. I realized that I was done being alone. I wanted friends. I wanted to fit in. So I reached out to the students I thought were the coolest. I tried my best to have conversations with them (Although I still didn't really know how to talk to people, I got better) And by the start of junior year I had more friends than I ever could have dreamed of. I clicked on this video today expecting comedy. But I saw what you said about A Silent Voice, and i thought it seemed interesting. I have never connected to a character in an anime like I did today watching that movie. The similarities between him and i had me in tears the whole way. Thank you Gigguk for helping me find that connection.
Marshingo I'm moved hearing your story. You're right, anime makes us connect to a level we can't explain. (Which this video explained perfectly) I hope everything is well with you and you're happy. :D
Sometimes Anime makes me regret my decisions and choices. Sometimes Anime makes me think in a different light or perspective. Sometimes Anime lets me connect with either for awhile or forever.
I loved A Silent Voice. I wish the film had been able to adapt more of the manga. I've ordered the Japanese Blu-Ray release, and I can't wait for all the extra goodies. Whilst they weren't able to give the surrounding characters the time they deserved (because for me, it's about showing the full extent of how various people are affected by a singular experience), KyoAni absolutely nailed certain scenes. I could offer the Fireworks scene as the most striking, but for me, it was Shoya arguing with his mother, as she made him promise to not kill himself. There in the cinema, all of a sudden I was able to remember what I had been like in high school, and my mother simultaneously crying and screaming at me to promise not to attempt to harm myself again. It was probably what made me cry most. You're absolutely right, Gigguk. These stories, these narratives are transcendent. They speak to us, and for us, and connect what feels like the parts of our disparate souls. Thanks for the video.
This style of video, but especially this video, always makes my heart squeeze with melancolic feelings. It's always so calming and, it makes me want to cry in a way that I like to cry.
I know I'm late to the party but i just wanna tell how relatable this video is. I mean, the first time i watch 5 Centimeters per Second, i was longing for them to be together and upset by the ending, but when i reflect on it, i kinda see myself on Takaki Tohno, the naive, faithful boy that believe that him and Akari are meant to be. He is too afraid to confess but too naive and faithful to Akari's love so he close his heart and living in this non existent world. The ending when he smiles knowing Akari is not in the other side of the railroad anymore, it's just a beautiful realization that it's time to move on
I was crying through this whole video. I started high school a month ago and I have suddenly started watching a lot more anime. I still don't have any friends, sure I have people say hi to me, but nobody I can actually relate to. I guess anime has kinda become a safe haven for me, a place for me to escape, to experience these amazing stories, to relate with these characters like I haven't been able to with anyone at school yet. I am glad I got into the best school in the area, yeah, but all of my friends I was able to open up with go to different school. I actually cried myself to sleep the first week and a half, I wasn't able to talk to anyone, I couldn't show my emotions. I feel like I am just another face in the crowd, yet I feel like everything I do matters so much. I come home, do my homework, and then sit around with nothing to do, so I watch tv, seemingly without any reason. Though I may not have realized it I started connecting with the shows I watched, and I just keep thinking to myself "Why can't I know someone like that?"
it was the same for me bro I'm in my 3rd year of high school now and I didn't have any friends until like the second year it's tough but at the same time that was the very reason that I even started to watch anime and for that I am thankfull
Bingo Panic Oh my Lord, someone making a police/FBI pun on the loli subject, ow wow! It's so original!! I mean, WHO could ever think of such a sophisticated and ultramodern joke to this day?!! :0 It's like... I NEVER see someone making that type of joke..
I could never understand why I got into anime but this does nail it on the head....I truly got into it while in hospital getting chemo and it helped me cope with the stresses and pain of treatment....and for that I am thankful I got to discover and truly love anime for what it is.......
Speaking as a doctor who has to spend his days either telling kids that they have a tumor somewhere, or dealing with a junkie trying to prescribe them a drug that they would only use to get high, anime has helped in taking the edge off of the pain of day to day life. Congrats on your chemotherapy working. Just know that that usually isn't the case. You only have to pull the plug on one life support system to know what the rest feel like.
I don't really get the whole "get into anime" thing, it's just another form of T.V to me, another way to present a show or movie. If you think T.V shows are good then anime can be fine as well and I don't think I've ever heard someone say they hate T.V. In other words, it's just another form of entertainment which can be many, MANY thing, it could be an emotional ride or it could be a storm of laughter, it could be practically anything the creators want it to be. I just see the title "anime" as a way to assume what it'll look like, a way I typically prefer mind you but just visuals nonetheless. It's why it confuses me when someone will watch a Disney movie or Pixar but then scream anime is shit or vice versa, all that's different is the company's style of presentation, neither are inherently superior or inferior, they're just different. You can enjoy either or both or more. Just-enjoy what you enjoy.
+Jacob Lindsay Thanks mate. I got to see first hand just some of the things that the doctors and nurses in my ward saw everyday when working on patients who will never get better and they have my absolute respect...
i perfectly remember the first time i saw Goku fucking Sailermoon on some kind of weird website... it must have been that moment that made me to the person i am today.

the feeling of transcending to a philosophical weeaboo
What is weeabo?
D.Talpha why is weeaboo
A weeaboo is somebody who is obsessed with the Japanese culture or a specific part of Japanese culture and thinks they know everything about it. However, they actually end up disrespecting the culture while criticizing their own.
Keep in mind a non-Japanese person can watch anime, learn the culture, learn the language and respect it while keeping in touch with their own culture without being labeled as a "weeaboo".
I want to agree, but I also don't want to descend into weeab-ness

I am not gonna lie when I clicked this video I expect a meme. But after watching this, holy fuck I had to subscribe, honestly the most amazing video about anime I've ever seen. This is honestly why I enjoy anime, it's not all fanservice, and memes. There are shows that make me break down in tears in one minute then make me laugh the next. Truely an amazing video 10/10.
If you want a few feels filled or generally amazing anime then Erased, A Silent Voice, Your Name, the Monogatari series, Clannad, Angel Beats, MAYBE Sagrada Reset, The World God Only Knows, Re:Zero kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu, maybe No Game No Life, maybe the Fate/Stay series, Boku No Hero Academia, MAYBE Accel World.
This is a list of some anime I've seen, they're anime I would recommend someone to watch, those with a "maybe" next to them are things that are lower on the list of quality although they're still something I enjoyed considerably.
If you look at the "Maybe" anime then don't expect some masterpiece but I'm sure you'd enjoy it regardless.
Eh?
No it's no-RUclips changed the format again....I....ffs.
daniel, you didn't like no game no life?
well, whatever.
I was happy watching it :D
Especially with that thumbnail, right?
Someone didn’t like No Game No Life?
TRIGGERED
This is why I get upset with people who refuse to watch anime just because its anime, I feel sorry for them because they are missing out on such a beautiful and different world of storytelling just because it's from Japan, I feel sorry for them because I was one of them
Edit: Just finished watching Clannad After Story and my life has been changed, thank you anime
Same here
Really feel sad for people who is missing one of the most genuine and beautiful entertainment medium/Art form
I always saw people talking about anime online , thinking some people can't grow up
Then i watched Death Note
It almost changed my life from then I don't know how much it all changed by this medium
It's a bit cringey to say it but the medium has a huge impact in my life
Maybe it's same for many others too
It's like when I explained to a friend that anime makes me feel the same way now as cartoons used to make them feel as a kid, if not better. They tried arguing against it but in the end they're the ones missing out, anime will always hold a special place in my heart as do the same cartoons they once enjoyed
I was one of those people, I thought of weebs like a bunch of sad degenerates and I didn't want to watch because of it. Then, I listened to a song that I thought was a real banger. I saw the comments of the yt video and they said that it was very similar to the Your Lie in April op, so I watched the op. Around this time was when I started hanging out with weebs and I just said fck it and watched YLIA, it was only 22 episodes. I binged the entire series in a day.
@@rojosiah307 Bro your lie in April is amazing its genuinely one of the the most perfect animes
@@Zao11010 Yeah, im so glad that it was my first anime, I can appreciate something other than Shonen lol
Fuck Gigguk, I click on your video expecting somethin hilarious and now I'm crying at work goddamnit
metalgearkite the feels man 😂😭
I wasn't mentally prepared.
metalgearkite DAVE!!!! (Same tho)
Its funny yet amazing how a mere 10 minute video can explain my love and connection for anime and move me to tears at the same time. I dont think anyone could've done it better

Same. I just wish I could be more active in a community like this.

You're hot the only one who was tearing because of this video. I just recognized there are other people who can understand how i felt while i was watching this video and also while i was watching the movie
Jr Gaming just got throat punched by gigguk
Ackkk 😵
I always love when Gigguk does one of these more serious videos. I really appreciate your well-voiced honesty and depth. Keep up the fantastic work!
I had basically the exact same thought. It's so well-done, well-worded, and heartfelt.
I like it, but it's a little too hammed up for me. I could do with a little bit less of the "telling a sad story soft tones" lol. Just my opinion
I really appreciate his honesty but I don't think it's thought over at all. There is 0 structure in this video.
But lets be honest here life is shit. There are no people flying cuz hoodiky magic, or a superhero robot, no we don't have space planes that can go super far and really fast cuz life real and real is shit.
I like that "Life is real and real is shit" - Pwndudebro 4/26/2017
Where is the “love button”, a mere “like” is not enough for this ridiculous fantastic video.
Thank you, cheers to you!
That is sooo true. Thats why Ive went around in every video liking lol. Which i did enjoy so I have no regrets
I feel you, man
the main reason why most people watch anime in 9 minutes
Zlagad and 40 seconds
Zlagad yes like anohana beautiful anime
The last show to leave me with some feeling like that was Happy Sugar life lol. Even though I have almost nothing in common with anyone in it... lol
I was a very lonely child. I had no friends, I was homeschooled, I interacted with no one but my two brothers. My mother was a mentally and physically abusive person. Every day I would be told how I looked like a gypsy, how I didn’t know how to dress appropriately, how I didn’t know how to brush my hair, how my only friends in life would be a couch and a tv because my personality was so bad. I found friends online in a forum where I would rp for as long as my parents would allow. Then, one of my role play buddies mentioned this thing called anime. I had never heard of it before so I decided to look up this anime called Wolf’s Rain that was recommended to me by my friend. This was in the glorious days of dial up internet. I had to wait for my parents to be done with the computer, my brothers not to need it, and for no phone calls to be expected. The opening scene of Wolf’s Rain played before me and Johnny Young Bosh’s voice hit my heart instantly. What was this? This is a cartoon. Why is it serious? Aren’t cartoons supposed to be funny? I was overwhelmed. I was sucked into this beautiful, amazing story the likes of which I had never seen before. I watched Wolf’s Rain every chance I got. I finally reached the last episode. My parents and brother had gone to the grocery store together and I stayed home to watch the finale. My soul was shattered. My heart, broken. I cried. I sobbed out loud. I had never been impacted by any type of media to cry out loud, EVER. I felt completely empty inside. What the hell was this feeling? I can clearly remember thinking “I can’t watch anymore anime. There is absolutely nothing that can top this.” I had never fucking looked at any other series ever up to this point so obviously I was very wrong lmao! The next anime I started watching was Ghost Hunt. I don’t know why, but it was dubbed and I wasn’t too keen on “subbed cartoons” at the time as I felt it was a bit weird. After that, the next one I watched was Code Geass. I was sucked in immediately and I crammed through the series as much as I could. At the finale I was once again heart broken and left with an utterly empty soul. It was then that I truly realized how amazing anime is. I was never interested in the shows and cartoons my brothers watched and I didn’t understand why. There were two cartoons that I religiously watched however and that was Legend of the Dragons and Avatar the Last Airbender. Now I’m currently at 323 completed series and I can honestly say that anime has literally changed my life, and possibly even saved it when I was going through some extremely rough times.
Sorry for this long post. I know no one will probably read this, but I feel a lot better knowing that my feelings about this subject exist in the physical world now. All of my love goes to everyone who has been through those tough times where only the distraction of the many worlds of anime provided comfort.
reading your post almost made me cry ...
Thank you for sharing this, it made me feel happy
You’re strong man, I hope it only gets better
Keep on going, the entire community is here to support you.
Wolfs Rain was an amazing anime and I'm glad anime has helped you.
Behind every story is an author who is trying to connect with people.
This really made me open my eyes. Now, those 3 star novels on NU doesn't look so bad anymore.
Aoi Bungaku is the perfect example of this. It's an anthropology anime series based on books by authors who were, let's just say, really f*cked in life. One of them even struggling to connect with people.
"Behind every story is an author who is trying to connect with people" That's the sole reason I write. I want others to see the wonder that I see.
There is an author behind every ponny fanfiction to.
Behind every porn is a porn director who is trying to get ppl to fantasize about "connecting with ppl" ;)

Gigguk's words should be the standard of literature, every one of his videos are so beautiful.
Yooo cristiiina nice profile pic!
Anime is the only thing that can make me cry like a little girl, especially Your Lie in April and Violet Evergarden
I cryed when Yuuki died in sao.
may i add angel beats, plastic memories, anohana and clannad
I also cried when kaede regained her memories, from bunny girl senpai
I don't like deep sad anime that's why I never watch them I don't like to feel sad (pls no hate,)
I watch bunny senpai and kaede disappearing pained me so much (the cute kaede)
I actually clicked because, seeing Kanna, I expected something hilarious. I actually got hit with a sledgehammer of feels crafted with such expertise that I can only applaud you as a genius.

Gigguk. I don’t know you. I’ve never met you. I will probably never meet you, talk to you or even get to message you online. Through the vastness of the world and the shortness of life you making this video, and me commenting on it, is likely the closest thing to communication, to connection, to friendship that we will ever be. And yet, watching this, in hearing you say words I’ve looked for but could never find, has perhaps helped me more than the majority of actual friends I’ve had in my life.
In ten minutes.
I was in awe when I saw my first anime, when a friend of mine sat me down in a dimly lit room and showed me the first episode of Bleach. I cherish the time when I watched Murder Princess, a low budget 6 episode anime with my best friend and us falling in love with it together. But more importantly, anime was there when nothing else was. When nothing else could be there for me, I could find comfort and connection and motivation in anime. I’ve found fan sites and fan art and fan fiction that has been engaging and beautiful and life changing.
And I found you. Someone I’ll likely never know, who just summarized all of that into one RUclips video, that explains all of my rambling better than I could. In such a way that I can show this to people and go, “This. This is why.” and know that they will understand, even if only a little. And that means a lot.
So thank you, Gigguk. From one stranger to another, thank you so, so much.

-Gigguk 2019
Got struck by these words bruh...
Yeah 😢
yes,agreed 😩😩😩
They cut deeper then a blade
Anime is such a feel good thing
Yeah uh... that hit me like a ton of bricks
One of the biggest moments for me was in Re: Zero when Emilia layed Subaru's head on her lap and without knowing what was going on with him said "it's been hard hasn't it". That simple question made him break down and I felt that hard. People don't often understand what we're going through because they aren't us, and we yearn to be understood and consoled. The whole scene just made me feel warm and for a moment that I had that.
that was one of the moments for me
re:zero was the first anime i watched and it was 3 years ago
honestly anime is not just entertainment, it's kind of a mixture of escapism and trying to channel those feelings into reality.
it gives a perspective to appreciate life.
This video justified most anime watchers that are accused as weebs

@@Blurro r/animemes: allow us to introduce ourselves..
I watched this video then watched this movie and i cried so hard. I’m blind in one eye so I’m disabled and it’s really hard for me. I developed a severe form of depression along with suicidal thoughts. People began to treat me different because i couldn’t do a lot of what i used to be able to do anymore. I had to relearn to walk because my balance had almost faded away with the lack of sight and depth perception. I never got my license because i couldn’t drive without hitting something or running off the road because what looked 10 feet away to me was actually 5. That lead to me having to ask people to drive me around so that lead to people becoming agitated with me or just not wanting to be around me. I didn’t understand why it had to be me that this happened to. It wasn’t fair. Not to me, but to the people around me. I felt they shouldn’t have to deal with me and what trouble i caused them. I made two attempts at my life, but gave up before i could do anything because i couldn’t understand what i meant by doing this. Eventually, i gave up on ever being happy again. Then my husband came along. I never knew i could be happy like this. He saw past my disability and saw who i was. He drove me everywhere i needed to go and even helped me find a EMS dog to help my pain.
When i saw this movie, i cried.
I felt the pain these characters felt, i understood the struggle they go through on a daily basis and everything they did to help each other. He gave up thing for her while my husband gave up things for me. I couldn’t hold my tears back. I held my husband a little bit tighter that night because i couldn’t believe someone actually got what i felt.
Human waste here.... im a 20 years old NEET here..first born from 4 kids that my parent had.... i've been thru depression so hard that i think.... Man... why does my parent waste so much stuff/money Just for me... whats the benefit from keeping trashes like me around... not a single day pass without thinking about taking my own life.... i dont fear the pain... what i fear the most is.... imagening my beloved lil brother cry... that.... that just hurt a lot.... thats the one reason keeping me alive now... why cant i just go silently without hurting anyone.... thats what i hate..
i have a great life... good school, great family, we're not rich but we manage to have a lot of fun as family Holiday abroad.... but man... seeing how i've Failed my family i just want to dissapear.... i've been teach my whole life to be like perfectionist well they didnt exactly teach me... i drill that to my self maybe. i've always thinking that "Trash needed to be disposed" yeah as a kid ive always had like elitism in me... i have this mindset that Trash should be disposed stuff like that.... then i realise in the end im Trash now... and im confused as fuck.. why didnt my family dispose me? why dont they throw me away? after all of those things they say to me when i was a child. "if you're useless we will throw you to the street,SO LEARN,WIN AND DONT BE A LOSER" thats where my elitism came from they drill that to my head so hard...then i ask... WHY DONT U THROW ME... IM LIVING TRASH HERE. yet they wont answer....
My Lil bro Lived very diffrient than me you can say he lived in better condition than me.... as if i was born as a commoner.. he was born as ROYAL... but i did not hate that in fact im so gratefull that my lil bro would go thru what i had to go thru... i loved my lil bro so much that i dont want my parent make the same mistake as they did to me. i want to protect this lil child.... yeah to sum it all.. thats the reason im still alive " i want to protect this lilttle child"...
Ahh man... i cried writing this..... i know that i dont make much sense to you
i guess after reading your comment im touched or something....
when/if you have a child pls... love them... love them but dont forget to teach them too... dont tell them that you will abandon them, dont compare them to anyone/anything.... and dont break your promises from the child.. no matter how small.
and i know its ironic coming from me. if you're sad or not happy, hate your self, remember those who loved you so much.....
i wish.... i wish in the end i get a happy ending like yours.
Sincerly,
Living Breathing human Trash...
P.S: Man..... anime is like a thin line im holding on to keep me going.
I am in a similar situation, there are good days, there are some bad, but I have found some happiness trying to help people and being useful, good luck buddy.
Allyson Hilterbrand your not alone 😅😅😅😅
Allyson Hilterbrand i've got into an accident before that make my right hand broke, and my face got fucked because of that... i use to really hate that happen, but now i dont really care about it as i grow older cuz if that happen it's part of me.... and KnK was the anime that make me forget that, cuz now i just thinking there are people out there that have more problems than i do
Zulhardika Rendy Permana im also blind in one eye and yes ive been ridiculed for it but at the same time i managed to find my true friends because of it. i know the pain you have probably gone through and will continue to deal with but please know there are true people who can be the best of friends and also people who can be scum of the earth but plz keep on living as best as u can. life is too precious to just give to death so make death work for it until you/ I/and everyone else has found our true family, friends, and lifes meaning because if somebody/nobody will support u i will to my full extent! also remember without black their wont be white without good their wont be evil their both always there for all of eternity so just find the right people to stand by and lean on when u need it the most😀
So you're saying we watch anime because we're unsatisfied with our real life? We want something to connect to?
Huh. Sounds about correct.

Santa Australia I'm unsatisfied with my life because I'm not able to shape shift into a dragon with 28 hot bitches on my dick and fight all day without long time harm and have a special thing called plot armor.
Stop lying to yourself
Honestly anime has been the only medium to really connect with my emotions, to the point where tears come to my eyes for any emotion
True
Yeah.. It was the first and only medium that was able to bring tears to my eyes and its continues to be that much emotionally rich.. Thanks kyoani and the god of anime.
A silent voice became the movie that meant something to me. It always tears me up to see all the bad things that happened and the good ending where no one was sacrificed. I've dealt with depression. Ive dealt with being bullied because of my personality being different in high school. I've tried killing myself a couple times but always half assed it or chickened out. Everytime I watched a silent voice, I've always felt the pain of being different from everyone else, but as I got older, my eyes opened more and I realized there were others that were dealing with the same situation as me or didnt see me as weird. Ive gained friends who accept me for who I am and I care deeply of them as well. I'm still dealing with depression from time to time, but I'm definitely stronger than who I was years ago. I'm currently in my senior year of college on my way to becoming a psychologist because I know how painful it is when you feel as if no one is there to help you and having the feeling of the isolation that you never wanted. I want to try and help those around me to seek the better side of times and help cope and destroy the negativity that the world has been given to him or her. I'm glad my attempts to kill myself never worked out or else I wouldnt have had what I'm going for today. For those reading this, thanks for hearing me out, and if you feel as if nothing is working, talk to a friend, find someone who you can trust and make something of it. Just get some assistance any way you can whether it be talking to a person or even going outside and enjoying nature. Be yourself and be who you are, because one day, those who have looked at you in a negative way will probably have a shittier life later in the years. To those who bully people for being different, you're probably in the same boat as there rest of us, but fuck you.
Just wanted to say I read the entire thing. Thank you for sharing this story.
feel the same..... ummm minecraft cow
I wish I could write that much about anime, but seriously thank you for writing this.
Honestly, your story really resonated with me. At the moment I'm nearly done with my own study in clinical psychology, while having a similar backstory to yours. My life has been tough to the point where even those in group therapy become shocked. That said, I honestly resonate more with the fact in how continuing despite the terribleness that life can be, can lead you to sights you never imagined before. I think that's also one of the things which make me resonate with anime as well. Despite all the darkness which life can have, if you just keep going and aiming for betterment, at some point the clouds break and some sunlight can come in.
The last year has been dreadfully intense, with internship, projects, cramming, and a good 70h+ a week for 9 months straight; but now when i'm at the end of my year... all of a sudden i'm getting reactions from people that i would have never expected with clients really hoping for the best for me, and going out of their way to show their appreciation. Life can be great... but it is only when you've experienced the blackness it can be that you learn to value those moments for what they are. When you don't take things for granted.
Thank you, I felt a bit bitter for some reason, but your response resonated with me in a way I didn't expect. So again, thanks for sharing.

Thank you for making this video, Gigguk. It joins my other favorites from you "The Perfect Anime" and "You'll Grow Out Of Anime... Eventually". You managed to capture so much of what makes anime my preferred medium. I wish I could express my emotional connection to it (and to other people who enjoy it) as well as you do. Fantastic work. Thank you.
Definitely
One moment on your channel I'm laughing my ass off, and another moment I'm on the verge of tears. Well played Gigguk.
Agreed!
Ikr ?
it's one of the reasons i watch him, lol.
Dude you definitely hit the spot man. I've watched anime since I was 10. And now that I've grown up. I was introducing anime to my kids and my son loved anime. He passed away in July and I'm still dealing with the grief and it took a while for me to do anything that me and my son did together. But I started watching anime again and I watched your lie in April. And I lost it. The feelings you were explaining just overflowed into me.. Thank you giguk. You are awesome man
:')
Anime is truly a great thing. I am sorry for your loss.
We are sorry for your loss
cody holland Sorry for your loss man, hope you're doing well now
I'm sorry for your loss. I watched Your Lie in April two months after my mother passed - I didn't expect to connect to that anime on the level that I did, nor did I expect to cry as long or as hard as I did.
i just fucking regret why i discovered this video recently... thanks Gigguk, for speaking up where i couldn't even think of what words to say to express my feelings. Thanks for being a representative for the Anime community, not just as a whole, but for us as fans who just can't help but get and feel a very deep, personal, and emotional connection with these characters. In the end, i don't think they're merely 2 dimensional characters at all. Best of everything for you, Gigguk. I'll always continue to love and support you and this channel. I'm in tears, but don't worry! They come because of joy!!!
Thanks Gigguk, this is honestly your best video. People often than not care too much about style and structure, forgetting what makes a piece of fiction great in the first place. After a few years of watching anime and studying fiction writing here and there, a year ago or so I came up to a conclusion: The best anime are the ones that give you a powerful emotional experience. And in your own way you put up all of this together in this video.
Once I said somewhere in a review (sort of) that anime needs to be more "human". I guess our community needs to be more human too. And I hope your video can, not change people's minds, but open ways into making this a better community.
And its his last since RUclips killed ad revenue to a degree where he won't make videos
Gigguk you've done it again. A magnificent video. I would have said it no other way.
During this year. I had this horrible teacher. She kept marking my grade down for the stupidest things like not putting tre dates properly or we should write something down like this even though people in the real world do do that. I started to read Vento Aureo. I read the chapter where Fugo backstory was revealed. He was a high intelligence kid but he never got along with his peers. His peers were always against him. He developed an anger issue. He was a character I can relate to.
Abridged Kirito thx. It's nice knowing there are people that can relate with each other.
You made me stop feeling alone with that. There was a teacher that completely ruined my life, as yours, he made everything that was on his hands to make me fail on marks. Thank you.
I relate to narancia little bit but mostly I hate math and I listened to rap music
For me, it was Assassination Classroom. Despite the premise of the show, the connection I felt to the characters and everything really touched me.

I am a very introverted person. I rarely leave my room and interact with anyone. However, I love walking with my headphone, but afraid of my physical endurance. Hibike! Euphonium inspired me to follow my passion despite not knowing what lies ahead. So, I started walking for an hour each day, but with the same route, everyday. It was really easy and convenient since I know the way and know it took exactly an hour. I am afraid of changing my route since what if I got lost, or what if it takes longer, or what if things go wrong, etc. But after watching A Place Further Than The Universe, I decided to turn another way and walk.The new path was... not that impressive; in addition, it took me 2 hours to finish the trip. However, I finished with a smile on my face. Such things might seem small and insignificant for some people, but it was revolutionary for me, and it was thanks to anime.
this touched me right at home, all i can say is thank you for this
Anime makes people smarter.

I respect you and I thank you for easing my heart for you have given me an example that I can still love anime, as I do now when I grow old. I was afraid that I will slowly lose my love for this medium as I start to get integrated into the society which does not view this pop culture in a favourable light, at least in my country. I was scared of the fact that eventually I will stop relating to the characters and stories, feeling this is too childish and it's now time to grow up. It's thanks to you that I believe that no matter how old I grow my heart will remain as that of a child wishing to live a thousand lives to connect, to feel the things I might never get a chance to do and while I might sound cheesy I really am grateful to you.
I will remain a weeb for life even though I don't prefer the term in particular as it rhymes with weed.

Thank you Gigguk for explaining in words why so many people fall in love with anime and for reminding me why I love and relate to the ones I have a special attachment to. I will keep this video in mind whenever something just connects, be it anime, games, etc. cause you've got my sub! C:
I already knew Gigguk was going to say "it's to connect," right from the moment he said that people thought he was going to post videos to entertain or to be humorous.
Because, anime is a picture, and a picture says a thousand words.
Anime literally is the embodiment of whatever you wanted to say, because it is.
With the amount of idealizations, realizations, familiarity, expression and experiences one can have, just a simple depiction in anime can really connect you in some form or another.
Maybe it was the ideal girl you wanted from having your waifu, maybe it's a realization that you had while you were having a bad time through a scenario in a series, maybe it struck you with this feeling of longing and despair, maybe it made you want to let out everything you had inside you, and maybe, just maybe, anime made you share one more little thing in your life.
And that's the power of anime.
Please do more of these videos in the future. They`re amazing.
I had a time where everything (and i mean really everything) went wrong in my life, like the death of my Grandpa, school got worse, quarrels with dear persons, moneyissues and so on. i was depressed and i tried looking for something to distract me, to calm me down. Thats when i was watching more animes than ever before and when i saw Clannad season 1 and 2, My emotions, which where pent-up, started to burst out of that emotional blockade and i started to be lively again. It helped so much during that depressing phase and i never was depressed since then.
With that beeing said, i am so happy that i saw this video. it made me glad that there was an evidence, which prooved that there where others that had simmilar circumstances and overcame them. And i whish that more and more poeple develop an understanding for unique intrests so that nobody mocks someone over such trivial things.
Clannad always delivers
god dam it gigguk why were you chopping so many onions in that video?
MoonStar lol
I'm only 50 seconds in and I started crying.
This made me cry a bit coz it’s true when gigguk said “sometimes you were a mask coz you’re not ready to show the world that you’re hurting” really reflected on me
For me it was Gintama. I know many people think it´s overrated and boring, but I don´t care. I went through a lot of trouble and disappointment, and I slowly started to become a empty shell of my former self. I couldn´t feel anything, I could talk to my crush, play my favorite game, and listen to the best music I could find, but nothing. Then I found Gintama. Somehow I couldn´t care less about real life people, yet that show seemed to somehow understood me. Many anime like Daily lives and Nichijou are funny, but they miss something. Other like Clannad and Your lie are sad, yet I couldn´t get myself to cry at the end. But with Gintama, I actually cried because how much I loved it. It made me feel when I thought I couldn´t anymore. It made me laugh, smile, cry, and it made me love the world. I know most people won´t understand this, but for me, it has kept me going. I was thinking about ending everything, and then I heard "If you´ve got time to fantasize about a beautiful death, why not live beautifully until the end.". Thank you Sorachi, you changed me for ever.
I still find that changing forever thing strange though. It completely changed my views on life, my sense of humor, and even how I act. My kids (if I ever get to have them) might ask me what inspired me the most, and my answer will be some Japanese drawing made by a Gorilla. A person I have never seen, never heard talk directly, nor have I seen his views at life, seems like a best friend. He projected himself through the art form. Many artists have this boring concept, yet talk a lot to make it sound better. They talk a lot, yet I still can´t feel them.
That's beautiful
SkyRip is gintama really that good? I wanted to start watching it but never got around to it due to its length. Can someone explain why it's ranked so high on MaL and stuff?
I think I got you a little... The first time I tried gintama (the first episodes), I found it stupid, time after, watching a fight scene in youtube, I decided to give it another shot. And then, at the end, it wasn't the fights that caught me... It was this bizarre sense of humor which somehow I could relate, and the stories that felt so real...
It's like gintama told me that it didn't matter if you were a failure, there still is a place for you in this world and there will always be someone that care about you!
With so many different characters in this show, it's hard to no connect with someone that seems is talking directly to you...
SkyRip Those were the words that changed me, too. I always thought life was so hard, no amount of happiness it could bring would outweigh the bad. So I thought dying would be much easier. But I'm a coward, and could never kill myself. So I was just indifferent about life, I didn't care if I lived or died. I was like that for years. Then I heard those words, "If you have time to think of a beautiful death, then live beautifully until the end instead". That changed my life. I think I'm still fairly indifferent about life. If I die, I die. But I also think I'd still like to keep living.
These are seriously my favorite videos of yours Gigguk. I appreciate the comedic and analytical stuff, but nothing matches the somber and introspective tone of these videos. Please make more!
i totally agree!
I always like these types of videos Gigguk makes. Just hearing him say all of these emotionally-touching words about anime,a topic that's looked down upon so much, is something that holds so much more value that I consider it a staple in our current world today that holds the world together.
I rarely comment on RUclips videos, but I had to leave a comment here.
I watched this video and I cried and cried, mainly because how deeply I relate to every word you are saying in this video.
There were times where everything was falling apart and I had no one, but I had anime, times were I got bullied but I managed to stick through because of anime, I even got bullied for watching anime and I still carried on and I pulled through.
The fact that someone literally understands exactly what I’ve gone through and how anime has helped me in life without even knowing that I exist means the world to me.
So thank you Gigguk!
Hope everything's sane with you now. I was going to say okay or alright or good, but sane seems like in the middle or something.
Keep fighting!
you got bullied for watching anime omg imma beat that Person ass for ya
Audrey M thank you ❤️
The Greatest Of Our Generation ❤️❤️
Yeah Hearing the news that your Dad, Grandma, 2 Friends died is Sad, then going to school and getting rejected 4 times by your crush is Depressing, then you work hard and never had a rest for many days with many problems make you wanna die, Ive through all that and anime help get over it.
When I was a sophomore in high school, I had experienced this sense of the world as I understood it sliding away under my feet. I was set on a class track in my high school which lead to me taking AP European History, which for any unfamiliar with the type of class its a college level class on European history. That I was taking as a barely functional 16 year old. And to make the situation worse, the teacher acted like a dictator and would, legitimately, scream at us during class if we weren't able to cite lines from our textbook word for word. So, I was pretty terrified of the man and of the class in general. But I also felt a strange sort of enchainment to it, thinking that this is how college classes and the real world are actually like, and I have to get used to this rigorous sort of learning and memorization schedule that demanded I have no social or private life. So I started to become closed off from people and focused only on passing this Herculean exam that would decide the fate of my 16 year old life, not thinking about the consequences those type of choices would have on me.
Then, about a week before the test, in the first week of May, while I was skimming through music to listen to while going over some terms from my notebook, a video caught my attention. It was a girl, in a bunny suit and playing a guitar, singing in front of a crowd of students from The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. I didn't know anything about this show besides the name, and the unconnected fact that TV Tropes loved the show (because it ruined my life). And I played the video just to listen to it, but when I glanced back at it I became transfixed by this girl singing. I didn't know what the hell the song was about or why she was singing, but every time it cut to her singing I felt this uncontrolled sense of raw emotion, like some sort of mix of sadness and regret. So I put down the notes and the homework, for the first time in months, and I looked up what this show was about. And I watched 6 episodes, which Ive sense gathered constituted the first season of the show.. I didn't think much of it, I even thought it seemed generic compared to the sense I got from the video. Haruhi seemed needlessly quirky, controlling and annoying, and I didn't think much of the other characters. But I kept watching it, up until the 6th episode. And I remember watching the whole section of Haruhi opening up her inner thoughts and discontent to Kou in her subconscious world, and her wishing she could escape from it all into a life more interesting, filled with excitement and fantasy and a sense of belonging.
And then I realized Haruhi was me.
And it was realizing this sense that I wanted to run away from reality, that I wanted more than the souless, mundane life I had grown to accept was all there was to reality that struck a chord in me that has never quite been replicated in anything I have experienced since, be it book, show, play, movie or any experience in real life. And once it was over, I continued my life as if nothing had really changed, and I was back to square one. But what was left was this feeling in the back of my head, a genuine melancholic feeling that my life was missing something to make it whole. And it was after exams, after my life sort of crashed and I started to loose all the friendships and connections I had made in my life up until that point and I started fighting depression for the first time, that sense of wanting something more from my life that was at the back of my head was one of the things that kept pushing me forward. It wasn't something I was constantly thinking about, and it wasn't what helped put my life back together in the end, but it was an emotional imprint that was left on me that has never been replicated and made me start to think about how I wanted to shape my life again, not just to accept how my life should be shaped by others.
I haven't gone back to watch the show since then, and I don't have any burning desire to go and finish it either. I just see it as an experience I had once that connected with me on a deep level. And I appreciate it for being able to do that, at a time when I felt locked away from the rest of the world.
Wow, you really poured your soul out, and so few people recognized that. Its almost just as melancholic as you described in your story. A four paragraph, almost essay, about your experience, expertly worded and told. Yet it is so niche. I honestly dont know what to say
I couldn't say anything to you but damn your life is hard
I don't know how you typed this much this freely, bravo to you sir
In my opinion it's more worth it to read Haruhi's novels than to watch the show
A+ good essay
There are anime that can leave you crying because a character you really like died or left. There are also anime that don't make you cry as much. Instead, you think about and reflect things about yourself, what happened in the past, your beliefs, dreams, fears, etc.
I love the fact that this video shows that anime is tearjerking or emotional not just because of a simple tearjerker scene. A lot of anime feel human, like they also have their own respective beliefs and dreams that we can connect to.
Sorry for running around in circles. This video reminded me of when I finished shows such as Rakugo, Kare Kano, and Bojack (ik it's not anime) since they have left a huge mark in my life.
Great video as always
Katsuragi Keima there is also an anime that make you cry because some of the character finally get what she deserve for all her hard work
Definitely. Haikyuu can be a good example of this when Karasuno finally won.
thats a nice way of putting it. Some anime can really bring out emotion you don't want to fell not because they are bad emotions but because they are painful. Everyone has that anime that brings up the emotions in you with as little as a mention of their name.
Sorry the loli dragon was bait. Have a tearjerker analysis video instead.

Scaled down like that, it looks like Megumin has a mustache. Was a little disappointed to learn she actually didn't.
Ricardo Munoz
The loli dragon is why I avoided this video, I fucking hate Dragon Maid.
Believe me A Silent Voice was the very first anime or movie that make me cry for real in my whole life..........
Funny thing I didn't cry when I watched it, but I cried a lot when remembering it.
Still, it is the most impactful media I've ever seen, made me think about so much things in my life. I was lucky to avoid being bullied or the bully throughout my younghood, but I definitely was a passive witness of it. Makes me think really hard on how stupid and meaningless all those harassment was. How much trauma it has brought for those who suffered from it, and how I could've done something different about it.
@@antoandroppa885 My experience was similar because when I watched the movie I thought it was a good movie but kinda overrated, then afterwards when I started thinking about it, I started remembering some great scenes like the amusement park sequence, the aftermath of Ishida falling etc. and I realized how great the movie actually is. Now I really want to rewatch it
@@bhavyadhuria2032 yeah.
There are some scenes which were exagerated, like the sudden wake up and run... very unrealistic. The movie had to cut a lot of character development from many of the crew, so some of them felt a little bit flat. Those who read the manga often say the movie was an average adaptation. I haven't read it yet, but I can state it had it flaws. Still, it delivered its message so powerfully, right? Even now, about 2 years since I last watched, I find myself thinking about some scenes. What's the point of art other than making you wonder, right? Sometimes, we have to be less rational and let it be. That's how we find the beauty of this movie.
@@antoandroppa885 Yeah some scenes were a little unrealistic but I don't always want total realism in movies everytime, I enjoy it when sometimes in movies, they do irrational things based solely on emotions (and to create good cinematic moments of course). Also I'm from India and I watch bollywood movies, so I'm kinda used to being less rational while watching movies. It was only 2 hours so the makers had to probably cut the development of some characters, that makes sense. But if you are still thinking about this movie even after 2 years then I would say the makers of this film have achieved what they wanted to achieve and it just proves what a great movie this is

*tries not to cry*

Gigguk y u do dis. Every serious video.
even the non-serious ones make me cry from laughter.
Generic Douchebag I slowly lost the battle to the tears
I didn't sign up for this feel trip... but I'm glad it happened. I had a really good cry. This was a really heartfelt video. Ty for that. ^_^
anime is soo varied that it gives the different perspectives hundreds to thousands of creator could offer. There's almost always a philosophical value that you could learn from all this. Rezero was something that touched me personally. Though I taught subaru was a shit guy.. I related to him.. i saw myself saying I was good around people better than me.. I saw myself just as shit as him.. but the difference was that I gave up ... so seeing him give up at the episode 18 resounded to me.. I saw myself.. I saw hopelesness that I could relate to... but after hearing rem's speach.. it gave me hope and realization honestly.. that there were people who care for me, people who see past my mistakes.. there those who love me for who I was. That I could start from zero.. i couldn't revert and past mistakes, but I could change, I should change.. watching that made me cry.. something that angel beats and anohana failed to do so.. seeing multiple perspectives gives you a appreciation for life.. for imagination for creativity..
theres much more to that show than mere character based story like slice of life stuff ... the jealousy actually was the only forced thing in the show andwasn´t even necessary ... the time travel based strategy , protecting the girls and being weak in a world full of fighters and only relying and fucked up at the same time on the painfull savepoint mechanic are much more prominent elements , and if you connect that much with it than theres something wrong with you
Damn I feel you man. I loved that anime
@@goku21youtub dude, yo, what's wrong WITH YOU?
Personal connections to anime (or anything) is just that. PERSONAL. You'd have to be a shit character in an anime to be able to criticize a PERSONAL emotional reaction of a random person on RUclips.
I found it. Whenever someone wants to get into anime but are a bit cautious, then I will show them this. Thank you
You deserve a Oscar for directing

Where’s ur pfp from? I like it
quit speaking to my soul gigguk 🙁
It takes money to make an anime famous
It takes time to make an anime long
It takes skill to make an anime look visually great
and It takes a heart which everyone of us have, to make an anime about something that's worth highlighting about.
A Silent Voice has changed my perspective on a lot. It's such a beautiful film and the ending scene never fails to make me tear up. And don't even get me started on the manga. The manga had such an affect on me and gave me a ton of new perspective on different things and has honestly changed me as a person.
Best Girl I have watched the Anime too but I'm still interested into what it did to you in detail, would appreciate an answer ^_^
2 of my favourite Gigguk videos (The Perfect Anime and The Greatest Thing Anime Has Done) were created by him after watching Your Name, and A Silent voice, which coincidentally are also 2 of my favourite series. Loved the Your Name movie and A Silent Voice manga.
Absolutely. His Your Name video honestly changed how I watch anime. His message of stop analyzing everything, just FEEL and let yourself be taken away by the show, really struck with me.
This video though feels more of a personal and genuine message he's wanted to say to his fans for a long time.
Yup, I definitely love his comedy videos but these feel a lot more heartfelt, as if he's just saying whatever is on his mind and he needs to get out. Definitely a breath of fresh air.
Couldn't agree more. Both Your Name and A Silent Voice touched me in a way nothing else has, I absolutely love them, and the videos Gigguk made after watching them. Just how honest and heartfelt they are. Really helped change the way I look at some things and appreciate anime. The series put my thoughts on screen, but Gigguk is amazingly good at coming close to putting them into words.
You probably want check "you'll grow from anime... eventually" video too.
*2 of his most pretencious videos
thank you, the outside world sees us as sweaty weeaboos watching Japanese cartoons but there truly is something special about anime,I'm at a point in my life where I'm getting a grasp on who I am and how I feel,and I honestly would be sitting here in a deep depression without anime right now
PlanetBankai filthy weeb
This comment section 😂
PlanetBankai you are so right
Lol I don’t think your a filthy weeb I just think your a person who watches a medium of entertainment that I don’t personally enjoy
"Me crying and laughing hysterically at the last episode of Anohana and trying to explain im not crazy and why it was sad to my mom who hasn't watched it"
Bella Bones bruh I also cried at the hide and seek scene but I didn’t laugh
Anohana made me cry but Clannad made me weep like I was injured 😭😢
This is by far, one of the most resonating videos I've ever watched on youtube.
Nothing else can compare more that this rightt :)
I mean I didn’t cry mainly because I don’t watch it
You know people don't believe me when I say that watching Anime has changed me. I only recently got into Anime, almost a year now.
I'm more of casual watcher and I haven't seen any of the popular animes (Dragon ball, Naruto, One piece , boku no pico, etc), but the few that I have watched have moved me in ways that I didn't think was possible. They connected with me at an emotional and spiritual level. When I am watching a good anime its like everything else fades away and I become truly immersed. Its almost as if its the only reality that exists.
They motivated me to give my best to everything I do and made me realize that relationships are not just all warm and fuzzy feelings, there is turmoil at every turn, and that its times like these that test and strengthen the bond between people even more.
Its funny how people just assume that all who watch Anime are introverted unsocial shut-ins. For me it was quite the opposite, I never really found the idea of making friends and socializing appealing. Listening to other people go on about how life has been treating them and trying to explain to them what I was going through always felt like a bother to me. But somehow seeing those characters in anime sharing happiness and going through difficult times together has awakened within me a desire to experience it all myself. I know its not gonna be perfect, but now I know that its not supposed to be perfect.
I think that some people are good at socializing since the very beginning, they enjoy being in others company and expressing themselves. Others need a push, and that push can come from anywhere, maybe a novel,a movie or even something that happened to them irl, but mine came from this beautiful( and still greatly unexplored) world of anime.
Grizzy Harpie boku no picco *pfft*
TouchMe - Sama Boku no pico is truly a masterpiece, yes.
Yes, to be truly enlightened anime fan, Boku No Pico must be watched at least three times to truly appreciate the rawness of...
Ok. No, it's not a masterpiece ok -_-
*bOkU nO pIcO eCt.*
I think you meant 'Boku no Hero academia' bud.... Pico is also surely a masterpiece but not in the ways you want to know
I cried After so long bottled up after a break up failing multiple exams losing entire groups of friends a derailed career and just wholesome lost in life i saw this video and moved me to tears i related to everything he said. Damn
Fr this made me breakdown sobbing, it’s amazing to know that people are thinking the same things about the stuff I like. It’s comforting in a way that cannot be explained.
And that my friends, is why I love Anime.
My grandpa on my dads side ended his own life last year, I was pretty much over it then Shelter came out.
That gave me the final push to see that it'll be okay.
God damn I teared up while typing this.,
Hope you feel better soon mate. I'm sorry i don#t know how to say this in english since it's not my first language, but i'm sorry for what happened. :(
Much love fam :3
It's fine now, just that time in my life anime was actually a helpful crutch to help with some final steps of getting over it.
All my life i've never really grown up with a real home. My parents abandoned me at 7 and gave me up to a separate family. After about a year of living with them they became desperate and worked as truck drivers. Because of this I had to jump from house to house. Often with mentally abusive people, and other times with alcoholics who threatened to kill me. Because of this I turned into a mean person, I routinely bullied kids at my schools, got in trouble with the administration, and eventually, I became an outcast. I had no friends, no real family, I was completely alone. after the end of my eighth grade year my adoptive parents got into a severe accident. My father was badly burned and the impact nearly severed his spine. I convinced my parents to move to the capital of our state. My intention was to find a new school and start fresh. With my dad being so injured they agreed that they couldn't work on the road anymore, so we moved. My situation was still terrible. I was still an outcast, although it was my inability to connect with others. I had gone so long without friends that I had forgotten how to connect. I was bitter, and depressed. after a while I thought it was pointless to be angry, I'd rather feel nothing. Halfway through my freshman year I tried to commit suicide. I grabbed a handgun from my parents closet while they were away and I sat with it on my bed, the barrel pressed against my head. I couldn't do it. I was far too afraid. when you live in that mental state. Everything turns gray. your thoughts, your face, even the colors you see lack saturation. But one day I discovered Anime. I thought it was weird, but I enjoyed the way everyone got along together (Heavens Lost Property), and after I saw show after show after show. I realized that I was done being alone. I wanted friends. I wanted to fit in. So I reached out to the students I thought were the coolest. I tried my best to have conversations with them (Although I still didn't really know how to talk to people, I got better) And by the start of junior year I had more friends than I ever could have dreamed of. I clicked on this video today expecting comedy. But I saw what you said about A Silent Voice, and i thought it seemed interesting. I have never connected to a character in an anime like I did today watching that movie. The similarities between him and i had me in tears the whole way.
Thank you Gigguk for helping me find that connection.
Marshingo I'm moved hearing your story. You're right, anime makes us connect to a level we can't explain. (Which this video explained perfectly) I hope everything is well with you and you're happy. :D

Sometimes Anime makes me regret my decisions and choices. Sometimes Anime makes me think in a different light or perspective. Sometimes Anime lets me connect with either for awhile or forever.
+ Red Panzer Productions
That was beautiful. :) Thank you for sharing.
I loved A Silent Voice. I wish the film had been able to adapt more of the manga. I've ordered the Japanese Blu-Ray release, and I can't wait for all the extra goodies. Whilst they weren't able to give the surrounding characters the time they deserved (because for me, it's about showing the full extent of how various people are affected by a singular experience), KyoAni absolutely nailed certain scenes. I could offer the Fireworks scene as the most striking, but for me, it was Shoya arguing with his mother, as she made him promise to not kill himself. There in the cinema, all of a sudden I was able to remember what I had been like in high school, and my mother simultaneously crying and screaming at me to promise not to attempt to harm myself again. It was probably what made me cry most.
You're absolutely right, Gigguk. These stories, these narratives are transcendent. They speak to us, and for us, and connect what feels like the parts of our disparate souls. Thanks for the video.
This style of video, but especially this video, always makes my heart squeeze with melancolic feelings. It's always so calming and, it makes me want to cry in a way that I like to cry.

I know I'm late to the party but i just wanna tell how relatable this video is. I mean, the first time i watch 5 Centimeters per Second, i was longing for them to be together and upset by the ending, but when i reflect on it, i kinda see myself on Takaki Tohno, the naive, faithful boy that believe that him and Akari are meant to be. He is too afraid to confess but too naive and faithful to Akari's love so he close his heart and living in this non existent world. The ending when he smiles knowing Akari is not in the other side of the railroad anymore, it's just a beautiful realization that it's time to move on
Clicked for the Kanna, stayed for the feels

Mjoll Animations sameeee
I was crying through this whole video. I started high school a month ago and I have suddenly started watching a lot more anime. I still don't have any friends, sure I have people say hi to me, but nobody I can actually relate to. I guess anime has kinda become a safe haven for me, a place for me to escape, to experience these amazing stories, to relate with these characters like I haven't been able to with anyone at school yet. I am glad I got into the best school in the area, yeah, but all of my friends I was able to open up with go to different school. I actually cried myself to sleep the first week and a half, I wasn't able to talk to anyone, I couldn't show my emotions. I feel like I am just another face in the crowd, yet I feel like everything I do matters so much. I come home, do my homework, and then sit around with nothing to do, so I watch tv, seemingly without any reason. Though I may not have realized it I started connecting with the shows I watched, and I just keep thinking to myself "Why can't I know someone like that?"
it was the same for me bro I'm in my 3rd year of high school now and I didn't have any friends until like the second year it's tough but at the same time that was the very reason that I even started to watch anime and for that I am thankfull

Just watched a silent voice. It was so good
I could never understand why I got into anime but this does nail it on the head....I truly got into it while in hospital getting chemo and it helped me cope with the stresses and pain of treatment....and for that I am thankful I got to discover and truly love anime for what it is.......
killbot86, I don't know who you are, but I'm glad you're okay and made it through that.
+Lord Haari Thanks mate. It's been a little over 4 years since I last left hospital and loving life....and anime too.....
Speaking as a doctor who has to spend his days either telling kids that they have a tumor somewhere, or dealing with a junkie trying to prescribe them a drug that they would only use to get high, anime has helped in taking the edge off of the pain of day to day life. Congrats on your chemotherapy working. Just know that that usually isn't the case. You only have to pull the plug on one life support system to know what the rest feel like.
I don't really get the whole "get into anime" thing, it's just another form of T.V to me, another way to present a show or movie.
If you think T.V shows are good then anime can be fine as well and I don't think I've ever heard someone say they hate T.V.
In other words, it's just another form of entertainment which can be many, MANY thing, it could be an emotional ride or it could be a storm of laughter, it could be practically anything the creators want it to be.
I just see the title "anime" as a way to assume what it'll look like, a way I typically prefer mind you but just visuals nonetheless.
It's why it confuses me when someone will watch a Disney movie or Pixar but then scream anime is shit or vice versa, all that's different is the company's style of presentation, neither are inherently superior or inferior, they're just different.
You can enjoy either or both or more.
Just-enjoy what you enjoy.
+Jacob Lindsay Thanks mate. I got to see first hand just some of the things that the doctors and nurses in my ward saw everyday when working on patients who will never get better and they have my absolute respect...
