You're goated mate

I'm 2 mins in to this essay and although this is now a two year old video I just heard something very refreshing. Moondays big ups my friend! :D for knowing the difference between a synopsis (as you put it recap) and an essay (or for that matter retrospective), so many times I've seen what claims to be an essay (reptrospective, deepdive etc) and is literally just a summary of plot. Don't get me wrong here I'll watch the recap bit interested to see what jumps out to you as important enough to recap, just really nice to see there's more than just being told the plot of a film I've seen...again haha.

i just finished reading akira and was trying to look some stuff up about it and found this vid which i apparently already watched right up until the “manga plot” section

I’m watching this two years later and I appreciate all the work you put into this video. I can’t bring myself to read aaaaalllll the manga.

i love your impressions of ~British~ kaneda and tetsuo

I am taking away your cooking lisence And promoting you to head chef

Just a tip: spending half the video calling yourself dumb doesn't make viewers excited to hear you out. You're not SUPPOSED to get all 3 billion interpretations of the film because they were made by millions of different people with different experiences. Just focus on explaining your personal point of view and everything will be better.

As a kid i didn't like spited away . Since the few anime i saw when i eas 7 was Pokemon , Digimon and Dragon ball Z

What I love about 'Only Yesterday' is the relationship of young Taeko and adult Taeko and how the latter has been shaped by the experiences of the former. This is not something you see in most movies but it is true for all of us. Another great Ghibli film you will enjoy is 'Whisper of the Heart' which is a touching love story between two young people. Other favorites include 'Spirited Away', 'My Neighbor Totoro' and 'Grave of the Fireflies' which is incredibly sad. All these are honest and show true human emotion.

This deserves more views and likes tbh

Such a nice interpretation

its really beautiful

this video sucks

l learned from ghiblis that they are critical not to be critical.

It's always so cool to hear people talk about Akira. It's one of those works of art that click with people on a deep level. You are a great communicator also, so I hope you make more videos about other works you love! Good job man!

I feel like the parents turn into pigs because pigs even though gentle do not have self control. I grew up on a pig farm and the eat whatever they can stuff themselves with. I feel in my opinion that that is the metaphor. Great video !

very good video

What is the song used @2:55? I can't seem to figure it out but I love it.

I ate 7 hotdogs while i watched this

I really appreciate this vid!! And totally feel you with how personal and emotional the film is.. I recently rematched this after seeing the description and noticing Taeko and I were the same age and the movie hit so hard without ever being overly emotional or disingenuine.. I love the more quiet, personal narratives of Only Yesterday, Whisper of the Heart & From up on poppy hill so much 🥺

ack!!!! you are talking about the re-dub. pardon my french but the original dub had one of the teenage mutant ninja turtles cartoon voice actors acting it....... sound way better? i fu hate this dub

I am glad my kids loved it. I was so pleased that the enjoyed it as I did. I cried so many times during the film. The end was so touching too! Every now and then my 9 year old girl listens to the music of the film. Isao Takahata was an amazing director! ❤

This is the literally way you needs to talk to babes.

Spot on! The second time I watched this movie was also when I felt super lonely. I was missing my friends so badly. This movie is a masterpiece and is criminally underrated and I'm not ashamed to admit that I cried watching it. The way they depicted her childhood scenes were very authentic, like u said, it makes u wanna give her younger self a hug. I would so recommend Tales of Princess Kaguya (please watch it if u haven't yet). It moved me just as much as Only Yesterday did.

this movie hits a lot to me since it had too many expectations on women but also even as a kid her family isn't always supportive when she needed it, and it hurts her future a lot. there are some moments that reminds me of my childhood.

Yummy, more please

I LOVE THIS

It's been two years and I can't believe I pronounced 'Kazan' like that

Wow this is deadly underrated

i think you hit the nail on the head with calling it an experience.

I don't feel like no-face's greed comes from obssession, since what he feels for chihiro or whoever will treat him with respect and love is longing, for he is lonely. But another thing about no-face is that he's the personification of "When in Rome, do as Romas do", and the greed becomes from getting into the bath house and starting to offer more things for more people that are inherently greedy; the staff and yubaba. As soon as he is out there he starts behaving nicely again, and minutes before he was feasting up on people becoming a literal monster

i want to give you a hug

awesome video, i agree!! i also think the baby's arc reflects the growth theme (at the beginning he was also a whiny cry baby & by the end he could stand on his own)

Hey. Thank you for uploading this. I just watched this a few weeks ago and it inspired me to ask out my crush. This film just moved me in a way I can't explain.

absolutely LOVE this video. you cracked me the fuck up, dude

It just means I’m better than you are.. hilarious!!😂 loved listening to your remote and description of Akira. I’m a writer artist and character designer for comic books and animation. Warner Marvel etc. Really appreciate your point of view

Maybe we love superheroes because we think about how it would be if we were one of them. I personally think about them the most when I struggle in real life so they help me escape from it. I can form my own reality inside my head, a world where I have superpowers, a world where I have everything under control, a world where I can be as cool as them, a world where I am loved and wanted?

amazing video + amazing movie

I know it's a bit late, but I just watched your video and in case you haven't already watched it: my favorite ghibli movie is "Whisper of the Heart" <3 Oh and your video analysis was really great! ^^ Thank you for summarizing/pointing out so well why I enjoyed it so much!

Only Yesterday is truly an underrated masterpiece

I cried 2x when I watched it, both is when Taeko's dream/pride were crushed.

Why don't you provide these in hindi language?

I loved the ending where her young self lead her adult self to the right decision!

Thank you for your spontaneous insightful review. Only Yesterday is the most favourite to me of all SG's films as well. I never thought that a male would enjoy such a film :) For some reason I thought it was a bit of a 'girlish' film. For that reason, I have always been hesitant to recommend it to a male! I like the fact that you picked on silence in this film and the way in which it contributed to it. What you said was very true... each time silence occurred, the subsequent segments of the dialogue were accentuated! PS: Are there any websites that stream this film with English subtitles?

this is my favourite studio ghibli too, its so underrated and lovely

wonderful video!! ❤❤

excellent video!

I found this video while trying to find other people who appreciated it. its so, so good. this made me really happy to watch. thank you for making it!
