- I didn't ask for existential crisis this morning but here we are with two cute anime cats making me question life and the universe itself.

you are way too cheery for something to somber...
My interpretation is that Giovanni has a rare ticket, which allows him to see both the afterlife and his life.
This is why he sees his younger self.
Aww I like that idea! I feel like there was a connection to why he was seen in the constellation Horologium though, I don't know what that constellation represents.
@@RosMo4I don't know anything about astrology or meaning of constellations, but I _do_ watch/read a lot of Sci-Fi and Fantasy. In the anime Fairy Tail, the celestial spirits Lucy can summon are based off constellations, with the strongest being the ones based off the ones used in the western zodiac. And, as it turns out, I remember that the weak one in the form of a living clock had the name Horologium, and always said what the time was first thing every time he was summoned -(even though that was rarely, if ever, what she actually summoned him for)- so, the constellation _probably_ represents time somehow.
I think Camponella could really see a beautiful field, but Giovanni couldn't see it because he wasn't dead yet
OOOOH MY GOOOOOD, I LOVED THIS MOVIE WHEN I WAS A BIT MORE YOUNGER. WHEN I FIRST DISCOVERED IT I WAS LIKE "THIS IS SO AMAZING WTH" AND I STILL THINK THE SAME. istg the ending always gets me bad, i def did not expect it, and the music at the final scene with campanella and giovanni in the railroad? MMMH, absolute masterpiece. i remember i used to make fanart of giovanni and campanella lmao
Learned about this movie from Pokémon. In Red & Blue, you can check the TV and get a reference to Stand by Me, but in Japan it’s Night on the Galactic Railroad.
ohh!! Thats interesting, I'm definitely checking that out!
That’s a new fact from Pokémon red&blue I didn’t know! Thanks
Funny, as Giovanni's voice actor is the same lady who did Ash's voice in the original English dub of Pokémon.
The world that Night on the Galactic Railroad and the Life of Budori are in the same land.
I have read the four different translations and it is very quiet. The story is both dark, sad, light and more...you have to have the patience and the attention to details.
Also I watched this after my sister's death and tried to show my mother and father. I told them this film helps process death and then it feels like my sister is where she should be. My nephew actually used this as his way to cope as well, his father is still having trouble with this. He doesn't get Anime already
All of Kenjis work takes place in Ihatov, a fictional version of the Iwate prefecture where he grew up
some notes:
-story probably takes place in ihatovo, a fantasy place that can look pretty different depending of which story miyazawa was writting at the time
-in the film every written thing that is not the japanese title cards is in esperanto, a neat detail and nod to miyazawa who was a lover and amateur speaker of the language
-the void as a heaven makes sense for buddhist people since it could mean the realease of the soul and break of the reincarnation cycle, so eternal oblivion but as a positive thing
-if you gonna watch gusko budori no denki i recommend far more the 1994 film, it dives less in budori hallucinations and more in the reality and the feelings of the people in the story
i thought the small boy we saw could be about the death of childhood, that going through the loss of his closest friend would take that, with how hard it is to deal with the loss of a peer at that age.
Oh my goodness, yeah that's a really good interpretation of it and my gosh does it make the whole thing a lot more sad.
Encountered the story of Night at the Galactic Railroad from one of the arcs from the manga Act-Age, one of my favorite arcs too on how they portrayed the novel through a play in the manga.
Yes! It's my favorite arc too. I'm still salty about what happened T. T
If it helps, they're regular human boys in the book.
"True heaven" to a Buddhist is a soul that doesn't reincarnate, deciding not to experience life anymore.
I think you've understood what you've seen as well as anyone should.
The small boy is Giovanni's dad. He died on his way home. The man searching for Campenelli's body see's Giovanni and says "isn't your dad home yet? He just sent a letter saying how excited he was to come home" implying that he should have come home already. Since he hasn't, we can conclude that the cat in the afterlife who looks just like Giovanni is Giovanni's dad, who is dead.
Campanella sounds like snufkin now all I can see is snufkin...... I don't know if that hurts more because I love snufkin.
I watched this myself a few weeks ago on CZcams. The person who uploaded it has it in both English and Japanese. I went to play the English version on my TV, but for some reason it was in Japanese instead. I ended up watching the whole thing subbed, but later found out that I just needed to turn off 5.1 surround sound to get English.
Beautiful and sad movie. Even if everything isn't explained the ending is one of best depiction of coping with a loved one's death
I had this on vhs or dvd as a kid (cant remember which, but I remember it only being subbed and no options to change the language, so maybe vhs?) and I can confirm the subbed sounded much better. It seems like older works have a much harder time changing the flow of dialogue to accommodate for different languages than newer stuff, so that's probably why the dialogue sounded so disjointed.
I definitely agree that the slowness was a lot, and when I was a kid I definitely got sidetracked during parts of this movie, but now that I'm older I think I can appreciate those scenes a little more. It's definitely something you have to have a lot of time to ruminate on.
Looking back at it, I feel like the pacing was intentional, and used to make the feel of the film go from a sterotypical fantasy adventure to something unnerving and heavy, which it definitely achieved. Even as a kid, I remember sitting in front of my giant box tv in silence while the credits rolled, not sure if I should cry or not, as I contemplated that Camponella was dead. I wouldn't go so far as to say it was traumatizing, but it has stuck with me to the point that I remember this movie in it's entirety while the vast majority of the rest of my childhood is kind of a blur.
TL;DR: it's a wonderful movie, and one that intentionally leaves you to decide your own ending and theories, but please don't let children watch it lol
15:12 You know, I head the saying that humans are put on this earth to learn how to love, and that dogs are here to teach us; being born knowing how to love, and thus, not living as long. The part about dogs aside, I thought of that phrase. Zanelli has much to learn about life; he's immature and unkind, and perhaps, he was the one who needed more time. Time to live, and to mature, and to reflect on his actions. Time that he wouldn't have had if not for Campanella. It's kind of a bitter thing, to be sure, but life is bitter sometimes. Just my thoughts on that aspect of the story.
Literally JUST finished watched it before you uploaded this video (also, all the text in the movie is in a language called ESPERANTO)
Man, this was deep 😢
I might watch this movie later
It really is! 😭
All my life my dad told me bridges are special and magical and i think thats one of the reasons he was in the train was bcs he crossed the bridge that was over the river, the one Campanella fell in that and their friendship connected them. That's my interpretation
I've been really fascinated by this movie ever since I stumbled upon it on youtube a few years ago. I also fall asleep nearly every time I watch it, but that's not an insult to it. I think the movie, perhaps related to Buddhism, is about space. Specifically the space for recollection and contemplation. It's similar to movies like Blade Runner, 2001, Koyaanisqatsi, or Thin Red Line which are primarily concerned with creating an atmospheric experience rather than narrative. One where the "world" itself is more the main character and the protagonist floats through it. Something that aims for an emotional resonance more akin to poetry or impressionism.
I found out about this story from a manga called Act Age, the play they portrayed was very impactful. It was a good manga, unfortunately the author turned out to be an absolute monster. I highly recommend pirating it at the very least, a lot of "refugees" from act age went to Oshi no Ko as it was felt to be a spiritual successor. That is to say they are completely different stories but the it itself is top notch, have a go if yall dont mind an axed ending
This movie was an absolute banger, rewatching it always gives me a sense of some intense nostalgia that i havent felt anywhere else
I have. Haven’t seen it yet, just saw it looking for Galaxy Express 999 but it did look interesting.
Its slow sometimes because its thoughtful and its for adults who has experience life, and loss.
Based on the great (never-finished) novel of Kenji Miyazawa, who wrote it after the dead of his little sister, this adaptation achieves a sensation similar to walking in the edge of a beautiful, fascinating and strange dream, sad and dark.
A story told quietly to let yourself led by its mystery and sensations while thinking about friendship, life and death, eternity, weakness of time, sacrifice, universe and memory...leading everything to one of the most heartbreaking twists ever.
Not many times has anime reached such level in the '80s.
Copypaste
0:07 relatable
This is the first time hearing about this film and talking about the after life is one heavy topic that weirdly interests me 😅
I think a movie you’d probably enjoy is a movie called the the garden of moon
I saw this film on CZcams one day, but I didn’t get far because I got bored of it, but now I feel like giving it a chance
Listen you aren't crazy. 90% of it is still shots of vapid, gormless cat faces staring out windows with their mouths slightly ajar.
I don't know that the animators knew how facial muscles worked.
I didn't suffer at all watching this movie for the first time. I respected it and just enjoyed my ride. Overall a really good anime movie.
The algorithm REALLY likes this movie
Glad my pick got you so invested even tho it's really sad next one i suggest will be a fun one . . . No promises
this is literally my fav movie
omg..31 minute video essay about my favorite movie nobody knows….this is so amazing!!!! i’m so shocked people don’t know more about this movie ❤always makes me cry when i think about it too hard 😢
Watched this late in the evening and it was the most chill experience ever, it was both chill and ominous perfect late night movie
I have now.
Yea I always thought how is the after Life... relatable
....Ha. Memento Mori. Remember that you will die. (Puts the Evoker to my head) I'll worry about where I go after I'm gone. Until then I'ma do what I can to protect what I care about 😁😁😁
Thanks for this great video i loved It !
Love this movie and I'm gonna read the book
Funny, the description sounds a lot like Angel's Egg, so I'll give it a go.
It would be cool to do some videos on Satoshi Kon's lesser-known works (e.g. Millennium Actress, Magnetic Rose, Paranoia Agent etc.), or some retro shojo like Oniisama-e, Rose of Versailles, or Ace Wo Nerae :)
If your looking for more obscure movies there is one called "back to gaya"
Looks like cutscenes from a ps5 game
Can you review The School For Good And Evil movie?
Was that sponsor music segment from JobbyTheHong??
my editor said yes XD
Can you look at The Sonic OVA🦔🤖
When I’d seen it I knew it had to have represented the after life just for him to be all alone
First and love ur videos rosmo ❤
uh
Thank you!! 💛
Extra Nice
🖤💙🛤️♥️🖤
Is there a name for the background music you were using throughout the first segments of the video? Thanks!
I asked my editor, he said it was "Wounded by Kevin Mcleod"
@@RosMo4 Thank you so much!
In the original book were the characters also anthropomorphic cats?
They were human in the book. In fact, the author, Kenji, is said to have hated cats.
@@StormyCanyon wow
Epic! Sorry i havent commeted in a while!
sorry i cant watch it now sorry but i think its good
I would watch this but I’m really sensitive to people talking about death, thank you for the warning ❤️
You're very welcome! Thank you for checking out the video! :DD
Did you watch a Barbie movie yesterday?
I did watch the barbie movie!
And I do watch Oppenheimer, what a Barbenheimer canon even 😂
Whoa... We had way different interpretations of this movie. When i saw it, (it might just be me) I thought C, tried to kill the bully... And did so cause he was in love with G. Which is why he went to the void... With his mom who killed herself... Right?
uhm so I doubt ur ever gonna see this comment but I personally love the movie Nimona >w
I also love that movie 🥺💛
woah thx for replying >w<
Right? Also love their humorous@@RosMo4
First! 😊
you are way too cheery for something so somber and deep...I'm sorry disliked...
