Kurapika is a better character done by a better writer.

I just think you are more of a meditation person.......Your capacity of self reflection is RICH Om namah shivayah, we bless your existence

did not know it needed defending ,thought of memes and jokes as memes and jokes ,i like to joke about hanasu no jutsu as well but its one of my fav thing naruto although at times it feels bit contrived

hxh and bloom into you are 2 of my favourite animes this video essay is most epic

HUGTO PRECURE MENTIONED

Ironically this was my first introduction to SAO; and it is indeed one of my favourite abridged series And i couldnt have been happier to not have to go through a FLUFFIN INCEST SCENE APPARENTLY.

Sora reminds me of Boruto and Himmawari, together; Roxas reminds me of Kurama and Naruto; Xion and Naminé make me think of Hinata.

Goblin slayer abridged is amazing!

Btw, I noticed that in spite of looks and some attitudes, he actually seems to take more after his mom, although he's more outspoken.

Personally, I love the characters, even Boruto himself (might be a brat, but that happens, and besides, he gets better). It's just the story that could use improvements.

With Tsubasa, you have to understand that in Japan, there are multiple kinds of reasons of people crossdressing. And also because it was in the early 1990s, that was the common term back then. I think in the new remake, it may be possible that they'll take out those contraversal episodes. But I agree on many levels, there are alot of trans messages in different characters. Since a kid, I loved Ukyo due to her not conforming to gender expectations.

Naruto was relatable, Boruto is not. Characters in Naruto are awesome and designed well. Characters in Boruto are awful, designed badly and makes no sense. Naruto villains are incredible hit hard and are iconic Boruto villains suck

In all fairness K-Project wasn't THAT bad. It wasn't great, but it was ok. It was good for something to watch when you're in between good shows

6 years later and I still don't know what part of Kaguya doesn't make sense or needed further explaining. Everything is said right there in the story

I first started watching _Bloom into You_ assuming it would be just another slice of life yuri, but then I gradually realized just how deep it was. I think when I first heard what the plot of the play was going to be is when I fully realized just how deep and good and incredible this anime was.

FemBoy realness

0:56 i’m glad I’m not the only one who finds it satisfactory when an antagonist’s hypocrisy is called out in a story

I may have watched this before? But i watched it now (potentially again) cause im on a Bloom Into You kick lol :3 Lovely!! I liked the lil kick into the song at the end.

WE MUST SAVE MY FAMILY!

Ranma 1/2 is arguably Rumiko Takahashi's best work and your thoughts on all of that you shared aren't dissimilar. Saying that, you are Unconditionally Loved for You. So continue to be You!

Boruto js wanted his father to acknowledge him and his family, and to give him more respect. y’all cant lie, promising to be at someones birthday and sending a shadow clone is crazyyy.

I feel personally attacked because at some point I was thinking about myself. I refuse to be a Cheetu when I can be a Morel

The roman reigns comment aged like fucking milk acknowledge your tribal cheif☝️

I saw ranma like 5 yeats ago, this video made me feel like rewatching it

I just grow up whit naruto and i have my nostelgia whit noruto and now what there is no more noruto and there is thiss boruto we want noruto!!!!

I want noruto as mc and not thiss brat

I honestly don't have anything against the character of Boruto, but since we didn't get to see much of the relationships of Naruto after shippuden, combined with the fact the we don't get to see the old cast as much in the show, My feeling for wanting more of Naruto isn't gratified; when I finished Naruto shippuden I wanted to see more of Naruto and Hinata, I wanted to see more of Iruka sensei and the others. Overall, I think people would have felt more satisfied if we got a backstory of Boruto before we actually got to see Boruto as a story on its own. the reason Naruto shippuden was as successful was because it was a direct continuation of Naruto.

21:45 I see where Lelouch’s Zero Requiem came from

超好き

This show may have helped me find out if I'm demiromantic. Because I have never fallen in love with anybody but I want it so bad, and I feel lonely because I'm not... there have been times where I pretended to have a crush because i thought that was how it worked. I won't label myself demiromantic until I figure it out for sure, but I'm trying my best!

naruto’s entire experience with kakuzu exemplifies how fighting blindly without even trying to look into your opponent’s heart only winds up with a shallow victory that causes pain to the victor as well; naruto’s loss of confidence in his ideology is on blatant display as he effectively pursues destructive power regardless of consequence during the arc

4:46 Misgender! His a man!

Thank god in 2024 people are starting to understand the show but damn 5-6 years ago nobody did, everyone was talking about easily debunkable stuff like how neji was right (Naruto never said he was wrong in the manga) and yow caracthers are too strong ect I'm glad there's almost a majority of people understanding the show now

I CANT WATCH IT IM SO MAD

❤

I choose to believe that Naruto isn't about working hard to achieve your dreams, it's about the power of empathy and forgiveness

I'm kinda sad coz Kurapika wasn't able to visit Gon 😭😭

Alluka was never implied to have been anything other than a girl from birth. Nanika the entity that shared her body made her be rejected as something not human by her family who thought of her as a thing to be locked up. I always took this as more humanity of people who aren't neurotypical than any allegory for being trans. Also you forgot about Kite.

Neji was right, and Naruto only won because he used the half the strength of a God to win what amounted to a career review/talent show.

That's why obito is one of the worst and overrated character 🗑️🗑️🗑️

I am sick of everyone thinking ranma is two genders, no he's cursed he can be cured and eliminate that girl curse. But the writer never came out and said ranma is trans. So basically you guys look stupid.

Illumi did a backflip once

Ranma 1/2 is my favorite manganime, I lovet it. ❤🎉

"Sure I'll be Ranma, but at least I'll actually get to be me" :') Really excellent video! I loved hearing your perspective on such *gender* series. I don't remember how or where, but I remember catching an episode of two on tv while channel surfing and I found the antics fun and goofy! To this day I really love the series' design and general aesthetic, some of those outfits are just killer! However, I only caught a couple of episodes because my mother walked into the room and saw her young son was watching "filth". Whether people or not people want to accept it, Ranma is inherently a transgressive piece of work (pun intended). Like all other art, in it's existence and effort to share some sort of idea, it lives in the realm of the political. Even if the intention of the work was to be strictly feminist in nature, i.e. showing that female Ranma is just as capable as male Ranma, the exploration of gender is radical! I can't help but view this series and the broader themes it plays with in a social logical lens. Two things come to mind, first being "Onnagata". Onnagata were actors that played female kabuki roles so intensely they would "live as women". As far as I know, and can tell, that is the primeval origins of a broadly accepted form of trans identity in Japan. That's why the idea of a man becoming a woman, even in body, is a much more common and accepted idea. So say for us in the "west", that idea still plays as extremely transgressive. The second idea that comes to mind is Japan's Bill 156, "Tokyo Metropolitan Ordinance Regarding the Healthy Development of Youths", which has been hitting queer (specifically BL) manga hard. The Bill seeks to aid the development of the Japanese youth by keeping them away from media that can hurt their growth, just so happens that content tends to be queer. That content is then given their highest possible age rating and they must be sold in special sections of store than basically sell only sexually explicit materials. Yet, Ranma seemingly has escaped the purview of the Bill's wrath. It will be interesting to see how and what happens to the series with it's new found popularity. It's sad to think about how a series from the 80s may be too progressive for the modern age. By the way, I got that Onnagata info from a free thesis paper called "LESBIANS AND TRANSGENDERS IN JAPANESE MEDIA" by Regina Caldart. I gave it a quick read and I'm sure you'd enjoy it! Once again amazing video, don't listen to people that are putting you down, you're awesome! I always learn something new when I watch your stuff lol.

Such a basic list 😭 I appreciate the effort though

For best abridged it’s definitely between dbza saoa and yugioh abridged they just have so many years of great content but hell I’m leaning towards this being the best one

Kaguya was written as a physical manifestation of the cycle of hatred within the Shinobi system. As much as people wanna deny that, it was because Madara was too powerful or so they could write Boruto. The reality is her purpose in the story was to serve as the most pure representation of everything wrong in the Shinobi world. She is effectively just the living form of conflict itself.

I'll defend the Kakuzu fight as written that way out of necessity. Naruto needed to defeat an enemy like Sasuke had, to walk in Sasuke's shoes. I would argue the lack of nuance we get to Kakuzu is because Naruto never bothers to look at him as more than an obstacle.

Ranma ½ was the first anime I discovered on the Internet. Back when 4kids was chopping up One Piece like a 2$ steak, I had a feeling that there were episodes I was missing. And when I went looking, I found the English subtitled version of One Piece, but also Ranma. And while I'm not trans myself, it really helped me start defining what "masculinity" means to me, in a world that is otherwise full of toxic male role-models.

Wanted to be hokage so the village would acknowledge him 😮....theres ur Y ..ur welcome
