Panic attack no, but i did have emoitions boil over into me just crying for an hour, closest i had to an attack would be a wave of Existential Dread that made me lock up for a few minutes. My problems are stress fueled procrustination, and having a smartass mask I wear all the time.

This was very endearing.

6:25 Harkness test is the rule on fiction for me, that said with female partners(i an bi) i have a preference to more submissive ,shy or Hesitant girls that in case of Lolibabas usually lead to fail the harkness test.way too well godam well in fiction

From the wheel, Aqua is a caregiver and an everyman. To understand what aqua is fighting for you have to go back to when he was still the doctor. How he views himself and what he wishes for the people around him.

I once swallowed a roach while I was sleeping. It got into my mouth. When I started to move it got scared and moved straight into my throat thinking it was a hole it could hide. I started to gasp and swallow it. It realized it was in trouble and started running up my throat out into my mouth. I didn't want to see the bast*rd. So I put my hand in my neck to stop it from climbing up from my throat while I could feel its legs clawing inside of it pushing up. I got up. Ran to the kitchen. Picked a loaf of bread and started to swallow pieces of the bread to push it down into my stomach. I could still feel it moving inside of my stomach for a while. After the anxiety went down, the following day felt really weird. I never got disgusted by any type of food again after that. Roaches don't taste like food. They taste like "dirty". Imagine if you had to go into the streets and lick the sidewalk where everyone walk with their dirty shoes. I never tried it, but I think of that when I try to describe how it felt.

And that's why he is GOATed father 😂

Dark humor? Oh deer…

Don't forget Ed spotted the bottle at the ending and wizzarded all over it

I watched a lot of anime 10 years ago to the point that I got tired of just watching it. Oregairu is one of the main reasons why I wanted to understand the psychology side of the stories. Now after seeing this kind of psychological analysis of the characters my love for psychology lit a fire again because this is what I wanted to become 10 years ago 😭

I was using my number pad to skip to watch the ep til I realized this vid is 2 hrs long 💀💀💀

To Ed’s poll question of “have you ever had an anxiety/panic attack?” Yes. Too many! Panic disorders are bullshit! I’m thankfully at a stage where I’m weeks to months between attacks depending on triggers, so I can understand Aqua doing his best to intellectualize his emotions to avoid them. To me, they feel like breathing in nothing while everything either closes in around you or gets too big and you’re exposed. I thought I was going to die when I had my first one. To those who have never had a panic attack: I hope you avoid ever having to face one. But at the same time, I feel a sense of comfort when I see panic attacks portrayed in media. I always felt like an idiot who was hyperventilating over nothing after they passed, so having media that say: “yeah. They’re fucked up. -100/10 don’t recommend. Go lay down” makes me feel less self conscious about it. So uh- any bitches out there with a panic disorder: you’re not alone.

I've also watched all the promotional material they have on youtube and it's so unhinged I love it

The show I would recommend reacting to is Kill la Kill. One of my favorite shows that was created by the same people that animated Delicious in Dungeon. The show is a bit on the spicier side but, it's funny and has plenty of deep rabbit holes to go into. It's common to see online that people boil it down to fan service but, it about it specifically, and women growing up.

The bottle seems new, did they teleport the bottle and left the water behind?

Great analysis!

About the light spirits "censorship" with light. In one of my favourite anime "no game no life" did a great joke about that. In a "simulated world" our mc's did first removed the girls lower sex organs, than the nipples and finally the clothes. Then they declared it super wholesome and for all ages because of the missing parts XD I find that facinating in the sence that, sometimes someone can be sexier with some clothes, than fully nude. Like only a overgrown shirt or apron.

Bruh the sound alerts kinda ruin the mood sometimes

Its crazy how people feel bad for kana when we have all this shit happening in this episode, like what she got you feeling bad for? shes jealous? Im sorry but TIMING PLEASE.😭

Saw the latest vod of Dungeon Meshi where you were reacting to trailers so just came to say this in the comments: Senpai is an Otokonoko = 10/10 Grimgar of Fantasy and Ash = 10/10 Makeine = 9/10 so far

You can make "b" with your left hand, for beverage

In the manga it says the exact number of people that were killed and how long the gun devil was in each country

Yo quick question, is there somewhere I could listen to the song you use on twitch during waiting times?

its why akane is my favourite. shes very kind and empathetic.

Thank you very much for not leaving me any excuse for not seeing the OP thing. At the very least I don't _remember_ having an anxiety attack before, so if I have, I can only imagine it wasn't as severe as the one Aqua went though here.

2:06:40 yes, Hikaru is the dad. a lucky son of a bish.

I love how money hungry Cid is when his organization is rich beyond his belief.

I don't know if I have ever had a panic attack. For me its hard to know what I'm feeling. Listening to you list the symptons though, I would say maybe? I remember feeling some of these things when I had to present big projects in front of the whole school/class. Amazing analysis as usual, love watching these!

39:14 in a group project i usually do it on my own. based on my experience if you depend on the group, the project will failed.

Ngl, ED makes Oshi no ko even more special. Extra peak, thanks to his analysis 👍 He makes us learn things we would never know we needed. I'm curious where it goes from here now, and what will happen next episode. Question, are you ready for Re:Zero S3 episode 1 in next month ? (Supposedly it becomes available throught streaming method the 30th august). Can't wait for that analysis as well. I'm Hype, like a LOT for it.

I'm tired of the Aqua x Therapy agenda, People need to understand that therapist aren't an automatic win button, some clinically depressed people go their whole life switching therapist without finding one that is able to bring them relief. Aqua himself was put under therapy most of his new life without finding peace. therapist aren't superhumans that can make your depression go away, they're just able to give you tools to help you cope with it, and that doesn't mean those tools with work with everyone.

holy yap

Hajimari is the name of the movie that Ai was in it with Aqua

1:35:40 tbf it could be that Kana wants to be the one who comfort Aqua. It’s still comes from jealousy, but with this angle wouldn’t be as bad imo Kana is easily misunderstood, even in season one she blurted out about Akane coming back as an actress after the incident are a “threat” to her career. But she weirdly meant that as a compliment lol😅

The one thing anime always makes me wonder is if headpats are a real thing. I have no active memory of ever getting one as a child nor if it would feel nice.

Man, this episode wase just sheer quality in every single aspect. The presentation, the depth of the story and what was represented and the intensity at which it was presented was absolutely perfect. And as a bonus, we got Chef Ed cooking the finest meals, exploring the story in its absolute depth. Ngl though, i love Kana but this really solidified Akanes beauty as a character. Her understanding of psychology, how this translates into acting and reading people as well as her empathy and genuine kindness make her an amazing character. Also as fellow psychology enthusiasts, she is probably the most relatable, with her ocnstantly reflecting and analyzing. The first half of the episode may appear mild, but i do believe that it holds quite a lot of value that we can apply to our own lives. It presents the importance of being diplomatic in social interactions through finding the balance between being assertive and respecting yourself and your needs and adjusting to others wishes. Compromise and not thinking in simplistic black and white ways truly is essential to have high quality relationships I absolutely love that we now explored Aquas depth with more clarity. We could finally see his different aspects of self and how his trauma restricts him with absolute clarity. The duality within himself, the conflict between Goro and Aqua, the survivors guilt, his selflessness and his emotionality beyond the mask of being nonchalant. All of this really reminds me of Carl Jung and his theory of the complexity of the self, with our shadow self and how it unfolds if we do not integrate it into our own consciousness. Overall, seeing it so clearly expressed just how dissociated Aqua is from his core self and how his lack of survivors guilt defines his thinking was nothing but brutal. This does make me question what kind of trauma plays into it from his previous life as Goro, as you could pretty much always observe a certain subconscious neuroticism about Goro

Here we goooo

In a meta sense this is the episode that I realized that Akane will probably lose the Aqua bowl. She peaked too early. If this moment happened almost at the end then this would definitely be the winning move for Akane. But hey, I'm okay with that since I prefer Kana anyway. I still like Akane though, just not as a girlfriend for Aqua, I feel like they only enhance each other's edginess/manipulative tendencies while Aqua is genuinely happy and carefree whenever he goofs around with Kana (baseball etc.).

As @MrJohnA17 has already pointed out, this is arguably the most important single episode of the whole series. Being hyped for it actually made go ahead and watch the rest of analysis as twitch VODs. Apart from the famous 'Something Genuine' scene, it's the episode where Sensei spills (not just to 8man, but also to the audience basically) some of the story's most important ideas -- her conclusion will probably stick with me for the rest of my life: 'When you feel you're hurting somebody, it shows that you care about them. That's what holding people dear is all about. It means you're prepared to hurt them.' And Hikigaya's speech did impact me, although it crystalized for quite a while before unveiling. When I was rewatching the show this winter, that's when it hit me how his words took their time with seeping into my self. So, you know, I'm something of a part-time yap king myself.

Oregairu pfp nerds assemble lmao

Kana when she finds out who Aqua's mother is: "I am my own worst enemy"

1:00:50 the better looking kana and akane

I tend to watch the vods here and there so waaay behind the livestreams, but I'd be fascinated to see your reactions to "Welcome to the NHK" and "The World God Only Knows" if you're looking for older anime to analyse.

54:00 well it's actually hard thing to put together there is basically no paper trail as her pregnancy was interviewed by Dr. Gorou himself and the twins were registered as the Saitou and Myako children from the start. The later also explain their connections at least to insiders as the two being nepo babies from the company founder/owner would be bad PR to the public. personally i think that the age is the greatest blindfold, no one expects a prominent idol getting pregnant at 15 so the timeline doesn't match. for a celeb this would be shocking even on my region where teen pregnancy is the norm (for reference out of my thirty two female cousins only four made to eighten without a child, and about half had two)

Ever since I read these chapters in the manga, I needed to see you to react to them. Not disappointed in the slightest.

1:15:45 From best girl to trauma girl in 1,5s XDFDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

In terms of therapy and treatment for trauma: do note that most of them are made for neurotypical people (and the self-help books and meditation promotions out there aren't geared for a neurodiverse brain). For example, neurodiverse people might not at all benefit from meditation and that's not a failure on the part of the patient, just that the brain is different. As much as people wish it, there's no one-stop solution for everyone for all possible trauma.

at 18:54 in the opening, I haven't seen many people talk about it but Ruby's smile disappears and she frowns, compared to Aqua's section where he smiles. Does that indicate that something is happening with Ruby this season or maybe we deep dive more into her character? I'm curious, coupled with the ED, it leads me to believe that we probably at least explore Ruby's character more ^^

im glad akane's empathy is made clear in the anime, alot of manga readers tried to deny this side of her. her empathy is off the charts.

keep up the good work ed

Oh, group projects. Normally, I've been fine with them, until... so, it was basically my senior thesis, specifically the equivalent of one at my college, and it was a two-person group project. We managed to divide the labor fairly well... until around the end of the year when my partner basically dropped off the face of the earth for a couple weeks without saying _anything_ and I had to basically complete the rest of the thing solo. Apparently, it was because his grandfather died and he was going through a bunch of stuff, but all I knew was that one day he suddenly stopped doing his work and responding to my messages even when he was _fucking online._ So yeah, that was a fun experience.
