I like how our younger adult years (18 to 25), are supposed to be the best years of our life, as we're still young and able to do things, but for most people, those years are exactly what Aggretsuko represents, a steady downfall into a hole where nothing in your life matters, and you slowly build up your way to cope with life, and be able to be happy. Aggretsuko isnt just a funny show, or a relatable show. Aggretsuko, is EVERYONE, its a show that describes the working people who aren't rich and just have to endure everything that life throws at them, and how they deal with it. Its genius.
when I was 15 I took a shit in a McDonald's and forgot to flush
Sooo true way to sum it up nicely. I was thinking about this the other day and it’s like how can I travel while I’m young if I’m not mentally ok. I’d rather wait til I’m older to travel and do stuff and take my time.
Anyone who says high school, or college, it your first years in the workforce are the best years of your life is delusional. The best years of your life will happen when they do, and it can be at any time. But probably not as a teenager or young adult.
I think the reason why they say that is because it's one of the most influential, potential-filled learning/turning points in a person's life. It's chaotic and messy, but it's also something to genuinely be proud of. You did it! You made your life, overcoming the unfairness of life.
And these people somehow dont vote Communist, cruel world made by docile people💀
I watched the first two episodes with my mom, who works in an office, and she bailed because it was 2real.
Bash Clopton lol Savage.
Oh boi, this hits home. I fired it up without knowing what it actually was and expecting to cheer up my girlfriend from her office frustration with what I thought would be a cutesy-but-aggressive comedy.
I was so wrong.
That's a "viewer discretion is advised" you don't see every day.
Malkamok oh man.. whoops.
@@Malkamok rip m8
In the singles party scene, someone said to Retsuko “you look like a sanrio character!” She replied “yeah I get that a lot...”
That joke is such a subtle stab to the gut for many people. The joke being, imagine being a grown woman at a single's party and being told, once again, that you look "adorable". It must be demeaning. There are people who have to deal with this constantly. A constant yet ever so slight humiliation no matter where you go and all you can do is smile and take it.
@@miguelangelthomas5154 I've been told this multiple times. I try to take it as a compliment. At least I'm being called cute instead of ugly.
@@maddymooo that's probably the best attitude to take
@@miguelangelthomas5154 I'm very young looking. I'm eighteen. I've been told I look twelve, fourteen, and sixteen. I have a long road ahead of me. XD
@@maddymooo I'm 18 too, almost 19 actually, I'm in 2nd year of arquitecture (literally in college), but I still find people calling me "oh sorry I thought you were 14", even tho I'm a freaking beanpole, and I'm tired of it because last year, it even affected me when I was looking for a job...Aand, oops, too much info of my life there lol, but I just kinda wanted to give a little insight, and I actually admire people like you, I mean, in the way that you can take the "you look cute" kinda comments, in a positive way, because I try to see it like that but it always end up feeling a little bit humiliating
Aggretsuko is a more "adult cartoon" than most other adult cartoons in the West.
TheTundraTerror true.
Sorry, but Bojack Horseman and Rick and Morty have been doing the whole existential crisis shtick for a long time now.
@@jasewrangler1980 Some Rick and Morty fans can be obnoxious, but for the most part, they're pretty fine for the most part.
bojack horseman I would argue is even more real, but it´s on it´s 5th season now, soooo
@dragon stare24 season 5 sucked aside from the first 4 eps. If we were taking about ep 2 then I would agree but forced romance, dick jokes and anticlimactic ending isn't anything special. It wasn't terrible, I adore the first 3 eps but after that it was just a regular show to me personally.
It funny because a cartoon airing company in my country saw the art style and be like"oh this is probably for children" and now they gonna aired it Saturday morning
It's a lesson to learn young I guess lol
What happened now that it's a year after?
oof its 4kids and one piece all over again.
I guess it is a lesson children should learn.
please give us an update on what happened
Every japanese creator ever :
"I was just observing people around me one morning and I sorta just created this worldwide phenomenon"
So bizarre and amazing
especially when you go on a adventure
And everyone around you keeps on calling you JoJo
and my family has ghosts with superpowers for some reason
Well yeah. It can feel like other humans are this amorphous blob of bad decisions that keeps dragging you around without even caring but if we find those brief moments when we get a flare in our ability to understand just how vast other people's existence is we can gain great insight and creativity.
that little breakdown about youtube in the middle really hit me. Let's build a blanket fort or something at AX to keep the existential dread out.
I am REALLY concerned right now!
For what it's worth Mother's Basement, your essays are some of the most thoughtful and nuanced on CZcams and I love your work. Super Eyepatch Wolf, Gaijin Goombah, and you restore some of my hope that anime discussions can be well thought out and meaningful. Keep on keeping on man.
Yeah I was pretty concerned as well. Even though I have my own CZcams channel and do upload videos to it, i don't worry about if the video is good or not much. I just have fun making it and upload it.
I don't really know what to say to Super eyepatch wolf except that I don't mind if the video is bad at all. I'll still watch it.
Mother's Basement i have sheets made of nostalgia for the fort
funnily enough I was thinking just a few seconds ago, how I never could do this, finding the deeper meaning and explaing it.
"Internal Raging Metal Queen"
yes
Yes queen.
I thought every comment was going to be this....It’s popular but at least it’s only one. We’re doing better guys! 😎 😅
Why You Should Watch: Super Eyepatch Wolf
The Breakfast Megapowers Why Everyone should Watch Super Eyepatch Wolf. His videos are crazy good.
The Breakfast Megapowers because everything
I had a nightmare I got hired back at my old job and everything was exactly the same as when I left it, then I woke up to this video. I couldn't stop crying. Thank you.
I know when I am stressing out too much about money because I start to dream about working again at one of my old jobs. Makes life so much easier when I wake up because I realize I am not there anymore and that I should be thankful for that at least. It is also like my brain is trying to tell me to calm down and that there are options available, but I may not like it.
I have those dreams all the time. I wake up in a cold sweat everytime.
*The Existential Horror of Super Eyepatch Wolf's Life featuring Aggretsuko
But seriously, great video and I hope you are doing well.
What if Aggretsuko's company she works for is in the business of Manufacturing Sanrio products? 😄
This is an... _interesting_ theory.
In season 2 they revealed that it's a trading company. So it's more likely they buy products directly for a manufacturer (like Sanrio) and then sell them to retail stores.
:OOO
The intro really , really hit me.
You probably wont find this in the sea of memes but if it means anything at all I can relate to how you feel or felt.
I havent worked at anything ive felt good at yet but ive been constantly let go and let go from various different jobs , sometimes with no fair reasoning and im struggling to pay the rent.
At this point though I wont lie its really , really hard for me to see the bright side of life right now.
ImASillyName
I can't say I relate as I have yet to get my first job (something I'll probably have to do this summer). All I can say is keep going and hopefully things turn out well for you. I can not tell you what the future holds, but if you keep trying surely your fortune will have to turn around at some point. I really do hope things work out for you. Good luck and keep trying. Never give up.
There are many of us in that boat, try to keep your head up and invest your time in at least something you like it can be anything, a hobby, learning a language just anything to give your life meaning. Work isn't everything.
Thanks man.
ImASillyName hey, you're not alone, I've got no funny saying other then "keep living"
@ImASillyName If it's as serious as you say then talk to your GP/doctor for a proper diagnosis. If you are experiencing depression you are not alone and there is help.
I'm glad he's on CZcams. He's an amazing narrator and judging from his art on Instagram he's an amazing artist.🐺
Also, Aggretsuko is perfect.
Ryan Carless are you talking about super eyepatch wolf
What is his instagram account?
He doesn’t have an Instagram account but on his Twitter he likes to retweet peoples artwork
Just checked that account and it really is his. Also you’re right, he is a amazing artist
Kimberly Martinez wow this totally isn’t a bot
Of all the Aggretsuko videos I've watched, I think this one has to be my favorite. It's a perfect mix of personal experience and context through the show as well as great music choices and an articulate voice that flows exceptionally well and carries the discussions really well.
this show came at a time when my work environment was getting really toxic. And this morning I literally wrote my resignation letter, handed it to my boss and he promised not to fire me before I quit. THis is a good analysis video. Its really sad to hear so many people work 80 hours a week, I would never be willing to do that for any amount of money.
As someone who is going through this right now and honestly...was on the brink of wanting to kill myself because of how trapped I've felt from it, I want to wholeheartedly give you the biggest virtual hug in the world for making this video.
It's what I needed to hear and I think it's something a lot of people do to. In today's society we are overworked, the costs of living rise more and more and we are working for less than we're worth. We lose ourselves in this constant struggle to balance our own lives and what we truly want for ourselves and the life we seem forced to live because of the system we're living under and how it's created this cycle of slaving for basic life requirements and being used by it.
The truth is just because society has created this system it doesn't mean we have to lose our identity with it nor do we have to lose sight of our own happiness. Sometimes it's best to pursue what makes us happy rather than what makes us feel suffocated and miserable. If you're working for over 16 - 20 hours a day earning less than somebody working 8 hours than something is seriously wrong. If you are doing everything you possibly can to build a life for yourself but you're tearing yourself apart over it than maybe it's time to change something regardless of whatever that something is.
There is hope, there is always something out there that has the potential to make your life worth more than what you're feeling now. Even if you have to move back home until you are able to obtain the career you want or be able to do something meaningful that will make your life happier in the long run than do it. If you want to pursue love over other things that make you unhappy, than do it. At the end of the day while we may live in a system that is slowly suffocating the life from people, we dictate the rules of how we feel about it and there are things we can do to break the cycle. I feel as though happiness is more important than my perceived success and you know what? That is something worth far more to me than working for somebody who is using people, who is overworking others and blatantly ignoring all of the other aspects of their lives and their health for the sake of meeting a stupidly high standard which for all intensive purposes is unrealistic and breaks work healthy and safety practices. You shouldn't do something you hate, you shouldn't hate your life and you shouldn't sit there and take it.
And thank you for making me come to that realisation.
This Digital Spoiler Stay strong dude
This Digital Spoiler great commentary. I’m coming across this several months later- how are things going now?
Honestly Aggrestuko is what I've feared my life may become one day. While I do like my job now there is no telling that my new one will be as satisfactory, much less even fun. Anyway, Sanrio's anime have always came off as somewhat odd to me in writing style and appeal (excluding Aggrestuko) such as Jewelpet Twinkle's periphary demographic appeal that went on for its entire franchise afterwards, Onegai My Melody's comedy being less kid friendly than expected and love of wordplay to Show by Rock's entire concept itself. Jewelpet and SBR are collab works but it really feels as if the company has been trying to puah boundaries for years to their outside audience along with selling cute mascots.
I think a lot us have that fear.
Sanrio even created Sanrio Danshi as a message that it's okay to like cute stuff for men and boys.
Damn... Most Japanese anime is, the way I see it, just entertainment, but I'll give Aggrestuko a +1. I think it's safe to say that a sort of socio-political message is behind the cutesy animations of the show.
I finished watching season 3 and it gets worse. The show went from typical sitcom to be as terrifyng as Perfect Blue and depressing as Bojack Horseman.
And also felt disturbed how many things hit my home with a certain character: from events, details to its personality. But still, it's just a show: "All characters and events in this show are fictitious and any resemblance to real persons, living or dead, is purely coincidental", it want to think on that.
I just watched 3 seasons of this and I cant believe I waited this long. Its written so well. The characters are multilayered. Its a truly unique show thats worth watching. Its too bad a lot of “adults” are put off by its childish presentations but its a gut punch of reality
8:31-8:50 ...you ok dude????...
The Hunter x Hunter 2011 Dickriding Association
Trust me, if he didn't mention his personal existential worries as a CZcams and patreoneer, then we should be worried.
Wolf's got this.
What? You've never had a mini-existential mental breakdown before?
Akira's writing and drawing channel Thanks!
At least he apologized in time.
😂😂😂😂😂
i think everyone in the current workplace culture - newbies with fresh bruises, veterans with countless scars, and everyone floating in the sea of people in between - should watch this video. there aren't many of us who sit at the top of the metaphorical workplace hill - and even then we'd surely still be plagued by problems, the world isn't perfect - and i feel that the message and wisdom you gleaned from this show should be digested and meditated on by all those who are still climbing their way up from the bottom.
The whole point is that many people are not "climbing their way from the bottom", many people are stuck there drowning on minimum wage with no hope of progressing.
Fuck climbing up its not worth the pay any more for us retail workers
While I personally don't have a job, yet; I dread when something like this will inevitably happen to me.
My dream job is as an animator, creating my own cartoons, art and stories that people will enjoy watching and talking about. I was inspired to become artist by shows like Samurai Jack as a toddler, and by playing games like Pokemon.
After becoming fascinated with cartoons myself, I wanted to create my own. I worked hard and signed myself up in an artschool, which I'm currently at. While I'm not the best at other subjects, when it comes to subjects regarding art like: painting; graphic design; molding; drawing; art history; I'm one of the best students in class. Though, I'm still a bit of a novice when it comes to drawing people and creatures.
My dream is to one day move to the U.S.A after I finished college, and become an animator. But like I said, I'm scared of the idea that I'll end up in a dead-end job, struggling to pay the bills and rent, struggling to balance work and my hobbies, remaining single and depressed, with the idea that I didn't accomplish anything. Not helped by the fact that I've been suffering from anxiety, depression, and suicidal thoughts.
I know that it wouldn't be fair, but when has life ever been fair? Whining about it won't solve it, and the best things we can do is accept it, make the best of it, and hope that it will get better.
Although your right about the fact that whining about it won't solve it, that doesn't mean you have to force yourself to not feel those feelings.
If your with someone you can truly trust don't be afraid to let those feelings out and have a little sook. or a really long one. It can help a lot to just feel your feelings sometimes, even if it doesn't change the situation.
I really don't mean to dissuade you from your dreams, but being an animator in the US can be very brutal. It's competitive even though the work is long and hard, and for all that hard work it's truly not well compensated. Art is still a useful skill and not one that you need to earn a living off of to be fulfilled with your art. So if you're willing to consider some potentially easier and more financially lucrative options, you can take a look at creative jobs that are higher paying or choose a low-maintenance career that will allow you freetime to work on your artistic dreams without the stress of low finances.
I would encourage you to reach out to US animators and ask about their experiences.
Thank you for the advice.
Also know that working a non-creative job or in a different field than you expected doesn't make you a failure. It also doesn't mean that you can't be creatively fulfilled.
Since you're in art school you have the advantage of reaching out to your professors about their careers and your prospects, any career counselors on campus, and also alumni who are entering/have entered the job market after graduating. This information can be really helpful to help plan for post-college and what to focus in now. It can also help clear away preconceptions and/or assumptions about the job you want, how to get it, and if it really suits your needs.
Ultimately, even if you have to work a job that seems "dead end" for a while, remember that you can leave those jobs and new opportunities will always show themselves, especially if you search for them and make yourself available. Nothing is static.
Finally: depression really kicks the piss out of creative life. As someone who tried to start a creative career while experiencing severe depression I can say it blew a crater through all my plans, but it was all repairable. The first and most important thing to deal with is the depression. In my case, I was being too hard on myself and closing down my current and future options based on misconceptions and bleak beliefs. I didn't treat myself with love and compassion. I piled on too many expectations, always moving the goalposts to never fulfill them, and refused to he gentle and forgiving with myself. I had to reverse all of that before I could make art without burning myself out, and before I could find the confidence to believe in my work and my employability. Your journey with depression will be unique, but know that you can emerge back into life free of depression. I put literally everything in my life on pause for a couple years so I could only work on self-care and treat my depression; it's the best decision I ever made. You probably don't want to pause everything, but certainly put your physical and mental health before everything else in your life as soon as possible. Nothing can be a higher priority than getting enough sleep, eating comfortably, and being emotionally gentle with yourself. School and everything else comes later. If things become too much, you don't have to take your life. That is not the only way to escape and get a break. You can take a break from school, from work, from all your situations. This is not your only chance at anything. You can always come back to something later. You will never be a failure for stepping back and taking care of yourself.
Oh fuck I feel the same way and I also want to be an animator-
Oh wow, a show about cute animals!
*After watching Aggretsuko
Why didn't I learn anything from The Bojack Horseman Show regarding first impressions? :/
The ironic thing about anthropomorphism in medias is that it actually makes the character more humane in a way
Bojack Horseman is anything but cute. If anything, the art style is mildly grotesque.
Have you watch Beastars?
@@Snazzy12341 I agree!
@@Jaxvidstar I read the manga and it was wonderful! I wanted more, but where it ended was fine!
Super eyepatch wolf are you okay?
Of course he is idiot
Dabelu Okigbo Hey, It's never wrong to ask someone how they're doing.
It’s nice to hear a genuine concern for a good CZcamsr
I remember in a video he did for Kaiji Ultimate Survivor, he briefly mentioned that he was in a similar struggle situation as Kaiji would be. I wonder whether this was it?!
Ｂ Ｕ Ｓ Ｔ Ａ Ｈ Ｗ Ｕ Ｌ Ｆ ～ ～
This analysis is so... Real. At my workplace, I feel fulfilled but the workplace politics are so hard, I asked to go to another department as soon as a position was available. To this day, my previous department calls me a traitor, but I am so much happier now, it makes me wonder how it could have been before all of the suffering. My mum (who I work with) said it gave me a backbone and was good for me, but that seems to be an ideal that doesn't matter anymore because there is no equivalent reward like there was back in 1960s USA.
the part about being fired really hit home to me. You're not alone. I got fired from working in an alzheimer's ward as a cleaner, despite loving the work there. I never got to say goodbye to the resident's I loved. Even though they would never remember me, I miss them.
1:15 that’s literally how my depressive disorder feels lmao. I can never find anything interesting anymore, every part of my existence is a loop I can’t escape haha
Hey! Just wanted to tell you that It felt that way for me too... but after going to therapy for some mounths Life seems different. What I am trying to say is that there is a way out, your feelings can turn back. For real.
Even without therapy... relying on people you love is really important and helpfull. I know there are lonely moments in which we forget we do have people that care about us, but trust me, I insist, things can be different with some help
I think your videos are worthwhile and have value regardless if they are about the work of others. I'll root for you if/when you choose the day to push forward your own works and creations. Take care man
Yeah. Who cares if the videos are about other people as long as you have something to say. And you would since thats why you make the video in the first place :D
That opening was both beautiful and harsh, but now you're making top tier anime analysis. Its a step.
I have only had a couple of jobs, and couldn't stand either of them. Not office jobs, but food and retail. I never want to be in a situation where I'm working again where I think to myself "I wish I could get hit by a car and have an excuse not to be here right now". But it seems a job of any merit or one where I can make enough money to live off of is either office drone, retail worker, or something honestly undesirable and miserable. The job I have right now makes me happy, it makes me feel needed by someone. But I don't make enough money off of it to live on my own. I am stuck living with my parents right now because I simply have no means of living completely independently, and I feel like such a leech. Time is ticking by faster and faster, and I honestly don't know where I'll be in 5 years, let alone 10. I want to be able to just suck it up and work hard, forgetting all the emotional stuff in my life, but that's not who I am.
I think another good point to add to this is that Retsuko also had a support group of people who reached out to her, meaning she didn't have to go through all this alone. For example, Washimi and Gori may not have succeeded in dealing with Ton's misogony (apt description of how this goes in real life, sadly), but now Retsuko has two more friends who know her secret and also helped her get into another healthy stress relief in the form of yoga. I think that ability to find connections and reach out to people, and how doing that is just as important for finding happiness even under the existential horror that is office life, is an important aspect of the series as well.
The transition between the intro and Sanrio shocked me really badly
This video hit home. I too was stuck in a job I had no passion for, just to get by. Every day slogged by and every evening I dreaded repeating the same numbing routine of a life that wasn't my own.
Eyepatch
I don't know if making CZcams videos is your dream, I don't know if this is something you want to do for the rest of your life, I really don't know much about you (I'm just a fan after all). But there is one thing I do know about you:
You are an amazing writer and you have a talent to thoroughly analyse pretty much anything while crafting a deeply engaging, sometimes even emotional script, in a way only few other youtubers can.
As a guy how enjoys this type content I tell you that even among my favorite channels yours stands on its own, and (at least for me) you are the undisputed best in the anime community.
When I watch one of your videos I feel like I'm always learning something, and a lot of times your videos send shivers down my spine.
I don't know if you want to make CZcams videos for the rest of your life, but I know that I'm glad for the ones you already made and I also know that no matter the subject clicking in a Supereyepatchwolf video is always worth watching.
(and that my friends is Why you should watch Supereyepatchwolf )
Well said. I feel the same way and have thought about writing something similar to what you have said but I'm glad I'm not alone with my sentiment.
Holcan Perez Wow... Great Comment Super EyePatch Wolf Da Real Mvp.
+1 for people still taking the time to write heartfelt and lengthy comments, not just about the discussion at hand but the quality and character and personal effort of the content creator who presented it.
I just recently left my job of 5 years at a Japanese owned and run company, and I can say that karoshi is real. 70-80 hour weeks we expected of the employees. Strangely enough, I love Aggretsuko! Great video, by the way.
8:31 for some reason at that moment I absolutely fell in love with Supereyepatch wolf
Crow Princess As B4 played, I started to love SuperEyePatch Wolf even harder. It felt relatable. Looks like people are understanding the art of Oneohtrix Point Never.
Only a few minutes in, but that's weird, I had the exact same thing happen to me, even down to going back to my old job. So grateful for youtube. lol
The Modern Martial Artist love for you to reference this on one of your vids. Been motivated massively by you and would love to hear your story, and how you committed to training & CZcams
Btw love your golden era breakdowns. Put that here cos I'm drunk & appreciate you work.
Fucking love you too Ian! Only anime I watch is your recommendations
Thanks man, I'm sure I will some day but probably won't anytime soon. Because you asked though and I have a few minutes:
I was making decent money off of private lessons, but decided I wanted more security. Got hired by a guy who said he was looking for someone to run a new martial arts school he would be opening, and gave up near all of my own clients. Turns out he was entirely full of shit, in every way. I had been hired to replace someone he would fire the next week, and there was already another employee in line to run the school. I ended up getting fired for refusing to work extra days for no pay. The guy actually got frustrated and cried the last time I told him no, for real.
Went back to my old job/s, which were still in martial arts and gymnastics, but I was flat broke for a long time, as I didn't have any of my own clients anymore. I tried youtube and my own classes. CZcams let me reach way more people and not have to do so much administrative work, and turns out I like one on ones better anyways. That's it basically. I'm by no means rich, but I love what I'm doing. Thanks again man, glad I made an impact. If I could give any advice, it would be just keep on trying shit until something works, and keep honing your skills along the way.
Bless you man, appreciate the openness. Gives me confidence in how progress comes with perseverance. I'll make an effort to reach out if I cross the pond, feel there's much I can learn from you.
Respect you wisdom & will stick to it with passion. Much love from one Dave to another.
Same thing happened to me too. Had a job I really wanted just to be told I was no longer needed. Then, had to return to an old job I wasn’t too thrilled about. Despite that, I have made a lot of progress finding happiness. Even if this old job isn’t ideal for me, it’s still far better than the hell I came from. So, I’m thankful.
I'm kinda feeling that now. I just graduated from college and am looking for a job. I have a learning disability and chose a pretty difficult major. While I am proud of acomplishing my degree, I have had to commit so much of my life to my school work that I have few close friends, have never had a girl friend and yet still have no job to show for it. And it's not like I was an over achiever who put too much on my own plate. I was just doing the regular computer science curriculum and my grades weren't stellar (though not bad all things considered). I'm 24 and I'm wondering if I just waisted most of my youth working towards something that won't pay off or if I'll be locked into another demanding job that won't allow me to live my life like has been the case for so many years. I keep asking myself, "When does my life start?"
So in summary, we all have those moments of existential dread. Even those of us who have had a decent college education in a hot industry.
John Hurley hi sorry for a much later reply but I deeply sympathize with this, except I’m stuck in the category where I wasted most of my childhood and came out of it with little to no significant skills but I digress. It is hard to find where life actually starts I have yet to experience that, I myself am worried that I won’t be good enough and eventually I’ll just become another cog in the machine; indistinguishable from others. And so your little ramble here really resonated with me and I hope my reply finds you on better terms 11 months after your comment.
I am in the same boat. I'm 27, my degree's in biology. I should be hella employable. But every job I take, I take out of necessity to pay off student loans. It's always contract, and even when it is temp it never sticks long enough.I feel like a constant loser. It also doesn't help that I'm mildly autistic and I can't tell the details of social nuance before. It hurts a lot that the culture we live in now, doesn't seem to ever want the younger newer people. And then when they grow up and do get their career in line... they do the same thing to new people themselves.
I have auditory processing disorder... school has always been rough. I feel your pain.
@@tigrerojo9685 I'm 27 and have tried to move into an apartment with my partner and lost it due to lack of money so many times. The last time I also lost the only relationship I ever had that was 6 years long. I am the failed gifted child that had no childhood whatsoever growing up in an extremely abusive family that felt like being in a literal hostage situation, totally isolated and developing mental health problems, but grades were more important than the fact I just attempted suicide to everyone. I tried to finish a degree twice but kept ending up in the emergency room and nearly being sectioned/5150'd. I still have to pay off the debt for the degree I never got and have resorted to doing my SECOND apprenticeship working 48 hours a week doing up to 20 hours unpaid overtime on $5 an hour, doing another qualification in my 'free time' whenever that is supposed to be just so I can live in a shoebox room on site. I already have over a decade's experience in this industry and I'm still reduced to this, in the middle of nowhere with no friends, family or lover- just work and (lack of) sleep.
Hi John, just wondering how things turned out 2 years later?
every second of aggrestuko can be a mood. yes, including the death metal singing in the bathroom.
especially the death metal singing in the bathroom
2 years late but - just finished watching all 3 seasons of Aggretsuko yesterday and as a single & living alone 24 year old currently stuck and struggling with the challenges of 'adulthood', and i was not in a good place. and just like you said, 'everyday is a slow mundane space' and 'things stopped mattering'. currently on my 3rd full-time job but had my fair share of bad experiences at work and eventually the PTSD came through (like Anai lol). trying to go back on doing art again although i'm nowhere good yet. (first comment on CZcams after a really long time)
Why you should watch/read Monster.
How about FullMetal Alchemist?
"DIETAHHH"
do 20th century boys
Both Fullmetal and Monster would be excellent, my favorite of the two being FMA, but Monster is less appreciated/known and would make for a more interesting video.
Would be good but alot of people have already done a video about that masterpiece
The shocking twist: Super Eyepatch Wolf has a girlfriend.
Kumori Garasu lol
The thinker you mean his hobby’s, his personality is perfectly fine
"This is your life, and it's ending one minute at a time."
Might as well get some use from it while you have it.
Ever since I saw a couple clips from it I just had the thought “I hope eyepatch Wolf covers this”
Not even 10 seconds in and you're already telling us how you got fired? This must be quite the experience. I'm looking forward to the next 13 minutes of my life.
The first two minutes really hit home with me. I'm in the exact same situation right now and I'm aiming to bring myself out of this numb feeling to do the things I want to do and become the person I want to me. Seeing how far Super Eyepatch Wolf has come really inspires me. It's exactly what I needed to hear.
I'm currently studying Art History, and my family is "advicing" me to get another career because they fear i will not get a job and i'll be poor... and what really scares me is not not being able to get a job, what scares me is working in something i don't like or not related to what I studied, and this video is exactly what i needed: a good dose of fear, charm and reality. Thank you, man, keep on the great work!
Man, and I thought I was the only person who worked a job they hate, coping with it all through alcohol and excessive consumerism.
I completely agree with your interpretation of the show. I’ve fallen deeply in love with it and since it’s come out it’s helped me deal with some stressful situation, however small or insignificant. I also love how Aggretsuko deals with relationships and modern romance. In the end, Retsuko gets out of a relationship she was unhappy in - unhappy not because Resasuke was a jerk, but because they just weren’t right for each other. And even if Haida and Retsuko don’t end up together, they’ll still get to know each other better and grow closer as a result. It’s a fantastic show and I’m glad you liked it.
Also you’re a fantastic CZcamsr, your videos are always so informative and well put-together; don’t beat yourself up too hard! I’ll keep watching!
There's a disturbing lack of best boi Haida in this video.
Aswell as best girl Fenneko
As a university student who still hasn't got much of an idea about his future or his future job, this video really helped making me see something I didn't see before. The future sure is scary, but what I think is better is to keep track of ourselves and don't lose ourselves in the spiral of work.
And that is why I can't watch Aggretsuko.
Because I have been there, and my departure from the awful job was neither amicable nor uneventful.
If you're in a miserable job, find a way out. It's a living hell
Protein...
Dark Link
PROTEIN PROTEIIIIN
*P R O T E I N*
P R O T E I N
Protein?
I just watch another video where you said the same thing
This anime hit home harder than I ever expected. I really love the show. Instantly one of my favorites after binging it in one go.
Never connected with a video so much. I have lost several jobs ever since I was 18. And Aggretsuko makes me so happy. I have grown up with Sanrio stuff but never felt a personal connection with the characters. Until I randomly discovered Aggretsuko on Tumblr last year. I loved her so much and when you see a character going through the same grown up trials as you, it makes the show that bit more special. When I was a kid, I couldn't wait to grow up, get a job and a nice house. But now as an adult in a part time job and renting a decent house with my husband, I want to be a kid again so badly.
my man you have a godlike taste
Kevin Toledo watching him proves you have good taste.
Well for my money John, I'm glad you left that Job. Because had you not, we'd never have known about one of the most unique channels on this entire site.
Hey Super Eyepatch Wolf, You got his. If you feel like you are forced to do videos, and are fearful of making them. Don't. You are a wonderful human being, and I would want you to suffer doing this. I as a fan, want you to be happy and safe above all else.
the real point is: why must people experience this living hell? what is the logical reason behind all of this suffering?
A complete lack of exit strategy from the routine that allows society to function.
It's the most obvious when accounting for how many fake/meaningless jobs there are out there.
Most job titles with 'consultant' at the end, for example.
In this world, is the destiny of mankind controlled by some transcendental entity or law...? Is it like the hand of God hovering above? At least it is true that man has no control, even over his own will
Because without suffering life has no meaning.
Because you need to eat to live, you need money to Eat and you sadly dont get money for nothing. So you need to work. But if you work you are dependent on whoever shouts the Calls, and if that person ends up being an Asshole you are fucked. And even if the Person isnt an Asshole, you probably have to work long&hard even though you dont want. Cause if you dont do it, they will find someone else who does it. Happend to me.
@@justbny9278 somebody just put their grasses on
Hey to everyone. Hope you're doing fine and if not then that you'll do better soon!
Good luck from someone in a simalar situation described by SEPW at the begining of this amazing video! Keep it up!
Gotta get in early for Super Eyepath Wolf reviews, theories and in depth discussions.
Neat to be hearing about your real life bud, thanks for great content!
I loved agretsuko. And also, your videos are some of the most touching, most beautifully articulated pieces of content I’ve seen on here. This one really hit home - mostly because I love agretsuko and I am a 25 year old tech worker and have been piecing together all this stuff.
Thanks for making this and for making your content. Lol I don’t think I’ve ever said this to a you tuber, but you seem like a spectacular, perceptive human. And your insights and your skill with video are certainly touching many many people.
Thanks :)
I love you. You have a real way of making sense of things within a larger context. Not only did you introduce me to this show, you've made it far easier to dive into the real meat of the show.
I did not expect this video but I'm so glad you made it and dared to share such personal and relatable experiences x
Super Earlypatch Wolf
Genuinely, thank you for what you do. Uploading videos takes a lot of mental fortitude, and I'm grateful that you overcome that to produce some of the best content on CZcams.
For what its worth, I LIKE that you put these personal feelings and anecdotes into your videos.
I love this character so much, as a retail worker who expresses my frustrations with art I really feel the shit she's going through
“The economy at the time was running on the blood of young office workers”...
“Trapped in a job she hates, surrounded by people she can’t stand” ... same.
I was really sad and disappointed when her friend’s startup ended up not going through for poor Retsuko. I have had similar disappointments, thinking I finally found a way out, then realizing they almost never let you move up unless you’re already in the club, and even those people are disposable if it’s required.
Watch out for karoshi! I think I have found an actual way out (not up this time, out) - I hope it’s not a delusion.
"It expresses it in this in a cute funny little show that makes it just a little less horrifying" couldn't have been better said. This show has been a nice bit of comfort in the darkness. Seeing a character stay resilient through similar struggles to ones you are facing is very cathartic.
Love your channel. If it makes you feel better, that scenario you described in this video (rent in an apartment you can't afford, living with a girlfriend after recently being laid off, having to go back to an old shitty job, etc.) is exactly where I find myself right now, to the point it was kind of eerie. It was pretty inspiring to see how well you've been doing with your channel and everything and I hope you can take this comment as encouragement. You took a passion and turned it into a career. Even if that passion fades, you are a talented creator. I'm always looking forward to seeing what you come out with next. Thanks for another great video.
God, I hope this series only awakens a love of death metal in people, and not a...let's say different kind of love.
Just Some Guy with a Mustache WHY ARE YOU IN EVERY ANIME RELATED VIDEO?????
This show 100% made me want to be a furry again
Amazing video. Watching this broke my heart because of how relatable it is. I'm not sure if I'll ever find out who I am, what makes me unique and what I want... I just want to die and escape the senseless pain of it all.
Honestly dude, i'm just glad your here. Like no joke, you along with Alecxzander (sorry if I butchered that) are two of my favorite analysts on this site and give me whole new appreciations for both things that I have or haven't watched/read.
Hey man, analysis and critique is an unbelievably important part of the creating community. I actually stumbled across your channel while poking around for videos that take unique spins on anime that might inspire me with one of a few projects I'm working on. Bit of a weird place to look I know but I'm doing it because it's worked in the past. Because of people like you. Smart people who care and take the time to peel back the surface and really dig into the meat of things. Just to show people who don't have the time/energy/drive to do so themselves. Shit is a vital part of the creative community as a WHOLE. That existential shit doesn't go away when you create your own stuff either.
3:30 "I observed English majors who could see every mistake in this sentence, and I could hear their heartfelt screams."
And here I sit, 27 years old and never been able to hold down a job due to mental issues. I envy people who are able to do the daily grind, I watch upon you with jealousy. I cant stand it for more then a month maybe two before I become mentally unstable to the point where my shrink tells my boss to fire me for my own health`s safety.
I have never been a part of society, never had a steady job, dropped out of college. I was beat up and bullied for 7 years straight as a kid because I was a creative free thinker, and I have gotten that beat out of me. But they couldnt beat the restlessnes and refusal to conform to socially accepted norms out of me.
I wish I could have a office job, I wish I could just go to work every day cash my check and live my life. Instead I live my life on wellfare while going to therapy and any jobb I try to do I do it well, but cant hold it down without becoming unstable. If you have a normal life, you should sit down and appreciate the fucking fact that you have steady income. Youre a part of society, and you have a solid foundation in your life. Because I feel like every fucking day of my life I am walking on the edge of a cliff waiting to fall over. It might be soul crushing but please appreciate the safety and normality of it atleast. Because there are people out there who literally dreams of beeing you, my dream last night was that I had a steady job in a fast food drive through........... and it was amazing to feel appreciated and to feel like I was contributing to society even if on the lowest of levels. Instead of feeling like a waste of oxygen.
Let me be short, I was at a very very low point in my life a time ago. I wasnt going anywhere and had much holding me back. I ended up relying off others pitying of me as social contact. It shaped me into a self destructive suicidal manicly bipolar man who had PTSD. I had horrible relationships that served as self harm, and I knew that nothing would be better no matter what.
It all changed when I met someone. My future Wife. The only friend or other person in my life who truly (TRULY) wanted what was best for me.
My anxiety is almost completely under control. My extreme frustration, anger, hopelessness, paranoia, and depression are almost completely ubder control with a full year of intense work. Im eating healthier, taking care of myself mentally and physically too!
Self love. I used to scoff at that.
But at a cetain point I took my mental health seriously. A therapist, psychologist, or other mental health professional is NOT A FIX ON ITS OWN. Just like the doctor cant cure the worst cases of diabeties by being supportive alone.
You're not fit into a box. You have no set future. You may be a bunch of chemicals (the fix could be as simple as you're not producing enough dopamine not letting your body naturally bring you back from anxiousness).
Here's my suggestion.
Download 12 Rules for life on Audible (free if its your first time signing up. Also the sign up trial is free too).
Look into CBD products 20 to 1 Ratio before getting on anti-deps. (This was the biggest fix for my manic bipolar depression).
CBD is from hemp but doesnt get you high at all. I hate weed but this was a life saver.
Hope this helps. Its up to you to decide. If I read my current comment a year ago I might be focusing on how to discredit. Prove that they didnt know how I TRULY felt. Ending up obsessing over it so much, it gets pushed away from ever being heard again.
Give people a chance.
Give yourself a chance.
The answer may be something you never thought was a possibility for you.
Cheers, and good luck.
Grass is always greener....
Trust me, you're not alone. I'm also 27 but my doctor doesn't care that I literally have a breakdown at work and harm myself every other day, have suicidal ideations, hallucinate, have dissociative episodes, haven't managed to eat breakfast, shower or brush my teeth in 4 months, never leave the premises ( I literally live at work and still barely get my clothes on in time) and have a bunch of physical health problems to boot. I am autistic amongst other thingsand can't even manage to pick up the phone or do the evidence gathering to get welfare so I had to be a domestic/sex slave for a supermorbidly obese man for somewhere to stay for nearly a year after running away from the domestic violence when I tried going back to stay with a parent after trying to move out but losing the place I had with my partner (and said partner) 4 times. My outdoor in all weathers working Christmas Day on your own in the middle of the night soaking wet and covered in shit at -5 degrees job right now is actually killing me slowly. I wish I had the luxury of finding my cosy office job 'boring' like some people.
I used to think 'Fuck a 9-5!' Now, I'd literally kill for it.
That’s part of the lie that taking your place in society is always objectively good, and “contributing”
In reality a fast food job, only contributes to a Billionaires millions, obesity, health problems and pollution. It’s doing more harm than someone on benefits because they don’t like working.
It’s worthwhile if you enjoy it but just because society says it’s worthwhile doesn’t mean it’s improving anything or helping.
More and more I want to focus on spending less so I can work less, and volunteer more doing something actually worthwhile.
Oh Supereyepathwolf, you could never disappoint me! After watching so many of your videos I have come to just like the sound of your voice. You could make a video of literally you humming into a microphone for an hour and I would still like and patron you. Keep doing what you do and continue making whatever makes you happy, that usually makes the best art.
Eyepatch wolf, Never doubt your content, you are in my opinion the best channel on anime youtube. you are able to spin a narrative about how any particular work of fiction impacted you, or the community at large better than anyone else I've seen to date.
Hey, sorry to hear about you being fired. I currently work in a start-up so I can understand the fear of being fired ( even though I won't get fired coz they don't pay me). I can't tell you if it gets better coz I don't know. But look on the bright side if there is any.
As someone who just had a breakdown and outright quit the job I despise, thank you. Keep doing you, my dude.
As for you wolf, I really appreciate the work you put into the channel. Your videos mean a lot to me.
You are an outstanding critic. You do such a good job of researching and building context for the things you discuss. You are excellent at verbalizing and unpacking your thoughts, and I can tell how meticulously you plan each sentence. You speak the way that Patrick Rothfuss writes. Truly, one of the most enjoyable, thought-provoking critics I have ever encountered, in any medium.
That intro... ooffd
Love your videos!!
You're one of the few CZcams Anime/Game/Narration channels who's guts I don't hate. Keep up the good work dude and I hope you can find a good place for you to express yourself creatively.
Man, hits me hard b/c I can relate. The one thing that scares me in life is basically, complacency. That is to not only become bored with what life has given you, but also accepting that way of life as normal. It's like becoming less a worker and more as a robot who's programmed to do the job you're supposed to do and not complain about it. I'll admit, I'm not mad at the pay I have, and tips are good, but the job I have is not for me, and my heart isn't there anymore, but I have to live with it for the time being until I find greener pastures.
Damn, I'm fucking rambling here after watching a CZcamsr talk about this existential crisis while talking about an anime featuring a character that's in an existential crisis.
Hope you're doing ok man
I recently finished the show and... yeah, Aggretsuko is... way too real. Even when the drama of the show is cranked up to 11 with the change of management and then the political arc. It never quite stops being something that is just too relatable. It doesn't really matters if you work a desk job, doing gigs, freelancing or whatever. Feeling stuck and without a direction in life is something that hits everyone everywhere. We're all looking for a way out of the monotony of the 9 to 5
This was a fantastic video. I felt it hit numerous chords with me. Btw very nice climax at the end with the music and your final realization in sync like that. Perfect.
Why you should watch/read the promises neverland?
Justin Y. First to comment this Justin Y. commoent
Serious question how do you find videos to comment on and do you actually watch the videos
The anime's not even out yet, be patient
my god.....
Chivi-chivik When is it out? The main thing is that it'll be the first time watching an anime AFTER reading the manga. It's pretty much the other way around for anime, but even then I may not check out their manga counterparts at all.
Wowsers, may we all find a path to happiness, or simply stability to begin with. My aggretsuko comes out mainly from lack of work, we all have one, we all want it to find happiness somehow, my best wishes to us all.
That opening was one of the realest things I have ever heard. Your story really resonates with me and I'm sure with many others. And don't let these concerns about your channel get you down. You have been a great avenue for me to learn new things and great analysis into things I enjoy that others may not understand. Your perspective and presentation are more than enough to keep me coming back.
I love this show and this video. I'm currently stuck in the middle of that amorphous time you describe in the beginning and my situation is nearly identical to yours. It is scary and weird but Aggretsuko and your channel both help me to see, there is a way out of it. It helps me to try and think of it as a time of transition, not the rest of my life. I dunno man, I'm just glad you're here.
Gaijin Goombah Media oh hey XD
You here
Goomba you’re here I’m surprised
Ah, a man of good taste I see.
Oh hi Greckles
This will probably be my anime of the year. I never related to an anime in a while...
This is your best video yet. I'm not hyping that up. I actually teared up by the end.
Super Eyepatch Wolf I have seen every video you have made on this channel, and this video is the best one you have made, also this hit depressingly close to home
Your voice is beautiful, and it always makes my day when you upload a video. 👏
