I just got grave lord sword by joining the covenant i had no idea it had to do with killing demons

I am exactly like this person. I fucking hate attention. I also became addicted to heroin. I have been sober for almost 8 years. Man no character has ever resonated with me like this.

It's almost impossible to dodge bed of Chaos arms. Out of desperation i put on heavy armor (i forgot wich) and shield with high stability to block those arms. Surprisingly i managed to reach the second weakness.😂

Are there people that DONT know about using the master key to skip blighttown?

This is the first ever book anime i have read and all i could say was wow ❤

The first time i met the capra demon i killed it with 4 hit XDD (i forgot hes exist)

Another "bug" that dark souls has is the arrow drop soul duplicate. Not only is it in both the original and remake. Its also easier to do in the remake.

I want to have this manga

I don't get your analogy about stone ocean fans, i don't know anyone who makes coffee thier personality, they just like it

Im sure when you fight the Asylum Demon from the very start it tells players that dropping attacks will do big damage before getting to the Capra Demon. Its not something you had to work out.

This was a confusing story. No Longer Human? He showed human emotions. Lust and selfishness being a few examples. And a bit of pride on how he talks about people, yet he steals to fuel his drug addiction. He showed the more terrible aspects of humanity. Instead of love, it’s lust. Kindness into selfishness. Yozo fears of how people would react, yet his actions caused harm. There are consequences, good and bad. In the beginning of the story, I thought Yozo had social anxiety. Pressures of society weighing down on Yozo, making him fear if people would hurt or use him. So he masks his fear by clowning around. I think Yozo is just a terrible person that doesn’t bother to think of the consequences before doing something. Really, what do you expect the reaction when he cheated, committed in*est, stole from people that cared about him, and left his partner to be assaulted? When he compared those people to insects, Yozo is a leech that drains people until they have no use for him.

Wtf is u talking about bro 😒😂😒

what a beautifully scripted video. I love how you approached this story, with understanding and compassion, and how you chose to retell it. Thank you. I love No Longer Human and it pains me how often it is spoken about as if it's a fictionalized horror story and not - percisely as you put it - a suicide note. Extremely well done video essay, youtube needs more ppl like u

Yozo is based on a real person who most likely had autism and depression. Which makes all the comments outside the text about him "not being human" really fucking weird.

I feel like Yozo and Osamu would've chilled out a bit if they could listen to Slayer or read some H.P. Lovecraft.

This book really fucked me up

best narration ever..

hate that some people are trapped to live such a life

Had to pause and yell the mid enturiptation, I say boo on the story, not the presentation it keep me watching but the turn is saddening, “he had sex with this person” WHY he was depressed then “left his wife” WHAT? At that point is self mutilation, I mean having an affair with the tobacco lady across the street, on the only person that would take them in AND was the affair partner, IN JAPAN IN THE EARLY HUNDREDS, I love the art, but THIS story bullshit

Out of all the Junji Ito mangas, including Gyo, No Longer Human was the only one I didn't finish. The fact that this one, over literally zombie sea creatures or Uzumaki in it's entirety, frightens and repulses me truly baffles me.

13:10 not rlly ,u can go down into an elevator,next to the dark root basin,u don t need the master key

Has anyone tried Steel Rising its pretty sweet

Great video. Thanks for the content!

I dont think i would have ever read this on my own, thank you. That was definitely a story I needed to hear.

R.I.P DAZAI OSAMU/TSUSHUMA SHUJI. You would've loved the adaptations of your novel.

This is actually pretty different from the book woah

The Capra demon was my trial by fire. Challenging me to the limits of my 14 year old sanity. It took me 13 straight hours against it to beat it. This, because I was stubbornly using the halberd.

What was the point of this video? halfway thru and youre just talking about Miyazaki history and DS history

Not to be a hater, but fella was as human as they come. Surely not a nice person and pretty pretty edgy, of course. But human AF.

Autism.

11:50 every well designed action rpg rewards the player for being patient and and thoughtful. Like I mentioned before, DS didn't do anything special. DS games are good action titles. But except those stat counts and some shop keepers and black smiths there isn't much role playing going on if any worth mentioning. That is an aspect that had me going for a while now. While playing the games was fine, there was always something weird about them. I realized it after replaying other rpgs. You know, ROLE PLAYING games. Where I take on a character, interact with other characters, take on the membership of a guild. And all of that is equally important to pumping up the skills and character statistics. So weird enough Dark Souls and the likes are rpgs without actual role playing. I think this has become lame and boring to me. If I want twitch action I keep playing Devil May Cry or Soulstice or Bayonetta. Or Prince of Persia. Or ....... any action title that doesn't pretend to be an rpg.

07:00 You know, talking about games becoming too linear, and yet non linear action rpgs exist for such a long time, just makes the argument redundant. Dark Souls did not invent anything new. A game like Doom did. It took the classic ego perspective dungeon crawler and turned it into a fast paced shooting galore while also running on a game engine that could run the game on a potato. A potato in the 90s. Which is worse than today's potatoes. The game never lied to me. It never made me expect something that never happened. People are lying.

And why are so many people playing a naked zombie? Is there some hidden fetishism going on in the DS community? That's just disgusting.

No, no, no, no, no. Dark Souls is NOT know for its difficulty. It is know for people complaining about difficulty. That's a major difference. Because after awhile it gets easier and also a tad boring since there is not much of actual role playing involved. It is like they just rebooted the Otoki franchise.

This is the first time in my adult life that I’ve shed tears over a story. As a former suicidal residential patient currently in recovery, this shot me through the heart.

they are now making a new remake like this is too much

Good video, terrible title, but I get it

'rock bottom can not even describe it ' Thats so true That guy is more than rock bottom...it must suck being him, the fucker cares for no one.

You added an extra vowel there in the word "MischieVOUS" lol you said "MischieVIOUS"

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

All those pictures the humans look normal

I feel it should be noted (because it is not in the video so far and I haven’t seen it in the comments) that in the asylum he literally (as a drug addict) has characters assigned to him, I think even maybe written on his forehead? That literally translate to “Disqualified from being human…” No longer human. That’s where it comes from.

My favorite game in the series is ds2 and what I can say is: are there problems with the games? yes but each one has its own unique strengths to it. Ds1 has its interconnected world design, ds2 rewards paying attention to your surroundings, bb its atmosphere and trick weapons, ds3 its covenants and finishing the trilogy’s story, sekiro its stagger system, and elden ring its size and variety of options. Plus AC6’s character conflicts.

Fromsoft games are tsunderes

So, he wasn't actually rescued by people on a passing by boat?

23:15 I couldn't relate more to than this; except I tend to isolate myself and my family tries to get me to go out more.

I have to tell you, I really enjoyed this story (I mean it) and it was fascinating to hear. The author's idea to write a manga in the form of a suicide note is also fantastic. I know many may disagree with this, but as an artistic expression, I bow to this idea.

Man, I had no idea how many things had to go just right in order for us to end up with our favorite series, and Miyazaki at its head. If one seemingly little decision had gone any differently, we might not know who Miyazaki is, and we probably wouldnt have Dark Souls, and most certainly wouldn't have Elden Ring. Things like this always kind of blow my mind. The stars aligned, and today we're very fortunate to have been blessed with the creations of Hidetaka Miyazaki.

first ranking i find I 100% agree with for the correct reasons

Kinda weird to start this without putting proper context to the actual author while also highlighting the Dazai without putting the author's name in the title/discussing the narrative of the books that are actually discussed?
