Time travel is usually used in fiction to mystify and captivate the audience by taking advantage of situations that are not possible in reality. What if you met yourself? Can the future be changed? Will multiple timelines be created? But if a narrative makes that time travel irreversible and in many ways, unwelcome… you might see something completely and totally heart wrenching that will only plant the seeds for something much more profound. Why yes, I am going to convince you that an Adam Sandler comedy is actually deep using anime.

One of the things that's often missed about the last scene from Gunbuster is that the WELCOME HOME is in katakana (the most basic character system, mostly used to convert foreign words into japanese) and poorly written (one character is backwards). There's an implication that japanese isn't even in use anymore, but they still kept the word in mind just to welcome these two back. It's pretty sweet. Also that ending is so nice they made a second show that ends on the _exact_ same scene and it still freaking works.

I think it's no accident that so many examples you've used come from Japan. The idea of beauty in transience, or "mono no aware", is deeply imbedded in the culture. In a sense, an experience that doesn't end is considered to have little value; we cherish the moment precisely because it's fleeting. Hell, there's a whole genre of poetry specifically for that, mujō.

The part about Manifest and the 5 years timeskip hit me hard. Not exactly the same situation, but after I graduated from college, I went to Japan and stayed there for a little bit more than 5 years. I still keep contact with my mom via phone but nothing else. When I returned home, seeing my mom and other family members having aged up, seeing all the new buildings that I don't recognize, all the shops that I used to go to now closed, something hit me like a truck and I cried myself to sleep that night.

I was/am in a similar boat, and despite being in Japan 8 years I got to come home a few times. And while I'm sure this experience is common, this is the first time I've seen someone besides myself remark on it. It's even more unnerving when your siblings and friends don't see the change since they've been around them: "What do you mean? They look like they always have." It's so isolating and uncanny.

(I visited home around once a year too but it's not the same as watching time pass alongside them)

Sin is (until Jecht) the protector of this aeon version of Zanarkand that exists in the present. Sin keeps ships away and technology low so they don't discover it and mess it up again.

This video hits especially hard for me. I was in a series of bad car accidents in 2016 just as I turned 20. It was the point in my life when I should've been starting it, working and going to school, getting a car and house. But my life was put on hold for years. I physically couldn't work, couldn't do much of anything for a long time. And now I have been better and trying to start again now at 27 and I just feel lost. While I was stuck, everyone around me got degrees and lifelong jobs and homes and I'm still trying to get over that first step that I should've hit years ago. Even though it was 6 years, it still feels like I blinked and lost my 20s

I couldn't feel you more my friend... In 2020 just after my 19th birthday I broke my lower spine and only 2 months later COVID started. It feels like my progress in life came to a sudden and screeching halt, constant medical issues, the dread of my weakened body, the shame of needing help so often and much more have left me in what I can only describe as being paused for years. Finally in the past few months I've been able to start life back up again, and I feel so far behind. While my friends and wife finish their degrees I'm going back to finish the associates that I never completed, I am learning how to be an adult 3 years behind my peers. I hope things get better for us, and I'm sorry you had to go through that. ❤ I think the worst thing is just the knowledge that no matter how much progress I make, I have forever lost aspects of myself that would have lead me down a completely different life path. It's hard not to live with the weight of envy towards some other version of me who turned out "right"

@@ErinSmith-jo8td I'm very sorry for the both of you. It's another kind of separation. One borne out of trauma, pain, and withdrawal. I'm dealing with that myself, and the worst part is the dangling uncertainty of what could be, and the abuse that you suffer, but with no source worth blaming. My girlfriend, who was once my fiancee, has completely pulled away due to medical trauma, and every path that I have tried to make possible for her has been abandoned. I'm left with nothing to do, and nothing to say, other than to live my own life, try to continue to be supportive and present, but to also find a new ordinary world. I'm hoping that it will still have her in it someday, but the heart grows weary and tired, while time moves inexorably on.

One of the most horrifying stories of time in media is from the game Library of Ruina, there is a fairly short part of the game were you see people board a train that is supposed to take them to their destination in 10 seconds, however the train is delayed and the people are stuck in it for thousands of years. While in the train, no one gets hungry or thirsty, no one ages, no one can die, and any injury they get is permanent and will never heal so they are forced to feel the pain the entire time. It's not a very long part of the game but I think it scared me more than anything else in the entire game.

link in breath of the wild and link in ocarina of time/majora’s mask are like two sides of the spectrum. link has had 100 years pass by in the blink of an eye, his name is legendary to most of everyone except the zora, all of his friends are mere memories. link in ocarina of time is like that as well, but maybe i’d say he’s in the middle. he experiences that time jump where none of his childhood friends even recognize him, zelda is missing and the friends he made are also nowhere to be seen. but then, he goes back in time and all of his relationships, even with zelda, are back to 0. much like majora’s mask where link has to keep going back in time to where no one knows him and death is still looming.

It's weird how time seems to work in intervals when taking memory into account. When I was 16 I first started to get *really* bad existential anxiety, and something I would tell myself is "You're not going to blink and suddenly be 17." I think about that moment every time my birthday comes around--I'm 25 now. And when I think about that it sometimes *does* feel like I blinked and suddenly skipped way, way past 17 and am suddenly here. But that's not the case. During that interval I met some of my best friends, graduated both high school and college, moved several times, so on and so on and so on....I have a huge chunk of memories that sit neatly between myself saying "You're not going to blink and suddenly be 17" and me sitting here typing this. Time always flows at the same rate--at least where we are in the cosmos, vaguely--and it's our perception that can fuck with it. Thinking of a childhood memory brings it clearly to the forefront, makes it feel like it could have been *yesterday* (less so, I've found, with memories that are thought of more often, those tend to settle warmly in the background) and makes it feel terrifyingly like you've just....blinked past an irreplacable chunk of your life. But you haven't. Our lives don't work like Before Your Eyes, they just....are. In that regard, Before Your Eyes feels to me less like terror as it relates to time *passing* and more like terror as it relates to time *already have passed*--it feels like memories.

I love Re:Zero’s take on time, at least in the second arc. It tackles the same issues of separation by time, but in reverse. He builds relationships and memories with the people in the mansion, but he’s the only one who remembers them. He keeps on losing connection with the people that he loves and he knows he can build it back up, but it gets sickening and tiring when those relationships get stolen away from him over and over again. A really good exploration of the pain of a time loop.

Yeah I completely agree! I'm actually an in-home geriatric nurse and I do some hospice nursing as well. I always ask my patients what advice would you give to yourself when you were my age. And all of my patients pretty much say the same thing. They wish they spent less time worried about money, their career and what they looked like and wished they spend every second with the people they loved instead. The human mind does a funny thing when it knows it doesn't have long left to live. Suddenly everything you thought was so important falls away, you realize just how unimportant and meaningless it was. You realize how much of your life you wasted worrying about things that never even mattered in the first place. Those extra hours for the promotion you used to buy your kids a bigger house and more electronics mean far less to them than the time you spent. Your kids would rather have had you spend that time with them going on adventures and hanging out than have the stuff. It's hard to see that until it's too late. Working in end-of-life care has completely changed my entire perspective. I highly recommend everyone volunteer for hospice at least once. It will literally change your life. You spend most of your life ignoring your own mortality and so you live your life as if you will live forever. That is the most devastating lie we tell ourselves. It causes us to waste our life. Because we won't live forever. Someone reading this comment will be dead in the next year. How would you live if you knew you only had a year left? How would your priorities change?

This video really hits home for me. Maybe this is because I underwent some major life changes during the pandemic (turned 18, moved away to college, all that), but it feels like the world pre-2020 is one I no longer have access to, and every passing year makes the feeling stronger. It's like I was plucked out of that life and set down in a completely different time and world. (So yeah, this video made me cry LOL)

i like watching youtube videos, it allows me to distract my mind of my day to day worries or problem, like the fact that i’m 17 and have effectively 1 year left of freedom before i have to go to the outside world to try and find what i want to do with my life, youtube helps me to relax and numb my brain in some way but i usually don’t cry with youtube videos because rarely they talk about something that makes me sad, thats most of the time but the exception is this channel, somehow with three of your videos i was left crying like a 4 year old who just lost his favorite toy… but it doesn’t feel unpleasant, it actually makes me cry of relief, especially this video and how you paint the passage of time and what we choose to do with the limited time we’re given…. idk what was the point i wanted to get across and even tho my comment may be lost between the thousands of other comments, i still wanted to say thank you….thank you for this

I started watching this video a little while after I had gotten into my bed and prepared to sleep. About halfway through, my mom came into my room to check on me, since I was sick and visibly upset about something. She offered to stay for a while to comfort me, and I declined. "Okay," she said, and without saying another word, without turning back to look at me as she exited the room, simply left, shutting the door behind her. When I was young, I, like many others, slept with my parents by my side, usually my mom. At the moment she left my room, my brain kept replaying the sequence of her leaving as I subconsciously reach out, longing to change my mind. Wanting to feel her warmth again. Wanting to tell her to come back and comfort me. I couldn't. I didn't. Then, I just silently burst into tears. Alone in the dark, in my room. You were right, Daryl. Time is terrifying.

Added tear fuel: the sequel, Diebuster, which initially only appears vaguely related until it reveals that the protagonist, Nono, is mankind's living record of Noriko and Kazumi. She was created early on, and now, nearly twelve thousand years into the future, she's suffered through so much that all she knows is "Nonoriri is the greatest and she has to meet her". The heartbreaking bit, though (spoilers for Diebuster): she doesn't make it. She's ten years too early. Jung's promise is carried through, yes, but after all those years of waiting, of protecting mankind from the remaining space monsters, she never gets to fulfill her dream of meeting Noriko.

I’ve been trying to spend more time with family, be better to friends, work harder and change myself for the better. This is a pretty selfish spiel but I just wanted to throw this out there. If anyone else is scared of how infinitesimally small our time here is, just remember that whether it’s 70 years or 7000 years, it’s all about the meaning you can pack into it, not the time itself.

FFX is my favorite, and I don't doubt that Daryl loves FFX, but Spoilers ahead, but Tidus is not actually from the past. He's a "dream of the fayth" aka an aeon being summoned by Yu Yevon to keep the dream of Zanarkand alive. Sin is (until Jecht) the protector of this aeon version of Zanarkand that exists in the present. Sin keeps ships away and technology low so they don't discover it and mess it up again. In my opinion this increases the tragedy and heartbreak of the ending. Tidus knew that destroying Sin would end his life. He kept it a secret from Yuna, the way she kept her secret for half the game. The Tidus at the beginning of the game would never have sacrificed himself. She taught him that some things are worth sacrificing yourself for, and that lesson made her lose him.

Stories revolving around time (be it travel, manipulation or distortion in any way) are always so fascinating, and my favourite sub-genre. And it always reminds me just how resilient humans are, capable of mentally adapting to impossible situations, to look for the bright side even on catastrophes, to try and make things right even when all hope seems lost. One particular saga that always stuck on my memory is the "Time Master Trilogy", starting with the book "The Initiate". I won't spoil major plot points, but I want to mention the one story arc that I thought of while watching this video. At the beginning of the second book, we're seeing the world not through the eyes of the Main Character, but instead a woman traveler that due to circumstances ends up trapped inside a castle. In this castle, not a single soul seems to live, and not a single spec of dust seem to have settled either. It's an eerie, solitary place, because it's actually trapped in time. The whole area is in stasis, time does not flow inside, and as such it's mostly detached from the real world. She shouldn't by any means have been able to cross over, and yet somehow she did, now trapped in a giant cell where her jailer is nothing else than time itself, and now she's all alone... Except she isn't. Soon we learn that there's been someone before her inside that time trapped place, someone that's been searching for an exit for who knows how long, someone that had already killed his own emotions and learnt to not expect any outside help, if the outside world even remembers him by this point. But suddenly there's this woman, and there is hope, and a good chunk of the book is spent developing the relationship between these two individuals, both rejecting each other for their own reasons, but also feeling incredibly happy inside that they're not completely alone, and that an exit may really exist... but at what cost? The trilogy is an incredibly deep dive into fantasy and the pros and cons of magic, the fragile balance of divinity, and the moral ambiguity of who's right and who's wrong depending on the point of view. I can't recommend this lecture enough!

An especially compelling subcategory of the 'time-based tragedy' genre to me is that of time travellers, and specifically time looping. The idea of being so desperate to change or fix an outcome to the point where you'll live the same moment a hundered times over to the point where you can barely even remember what life outside of the tiny fragment you've lived over and over, seeing everything and everyone you care about be destroyed each time just gets to me. It's part of why Homura Akemi is my favorite character in all of media.

I knew this vid would lead to something about love in the end and I was waiting for it but all those examples, the words and phrases that were used in the specific order in which you spoke them… it’s safe to say it reached me. Our time here is so short and love is truly the only thing that makes it all worth it. The rest may seem like its good enough but In the end only those who you love and love you can make you feel the comfort and sense of belonging we all openly or secretly long for.

Click! was just a fun movie with a realistic twist at the end, when I was younger. Listening to you remind me of the movie made me cry today. Wild how what’s important changes over time. Back then, I would have readily agreed to skip 6 years, but today, now that I have a kid, it’s one of the scariest thoughts I’ve had recently.

@@Ikcatcher Exactly! So many people don't get the point of the movie. Maybe they can't relate because they've no responsibilities or loved ones, but goddamn does it get more painful as you get older. I never was very affectionate with my dad, though still a decent amount considering he is too, but after Click I try my best to make time for him and have some nice interactions. You never know when anything might happen

Time dilation is a doozy of a concept. I also think the concept of time loops is often under-explored from the perspective of those outside the loop. Sure we have like groundhogs day but one of my favorite games Wild Arms 5 a main character learns their friend is in essence, trapped in a time loop. She forgets almost everything once the loop resets and he and everyone else, at the end of the game, are outside of the loop, unsure if she can ever be released.

I loved Click because I was both terrified and awakened by it, at 13, as I first realized the merciless flow of time. I was in so much pain emotionally because I knew full well what Cooper has to go through once he got back to the ship. I was in speechless shock when I understood what happened to Mitsuha's town, and the pain when the movie revealed that Mitsuha actually tried to find Taki, just to get turned down when both of them didn't even understand what was going on was that much rougher. When I got interested in Touhou and started learning its lore and fanmade content, I came to understand how devastating unwanted immortality is, and the pain of someone who has to watch their loved ones die of old age while they hardly even age at all. I no doubt shed a few tears to this video. Value your time in this world, for it's transient, and you are only loved as much as the people close to you love you.

I've been listening to Mario Galaxy's music and thinking about that era in the mid 2000's of Nintendo/media where space was calm and beautiful, and now this comes out and goes deep into those themes of time and space and living in the moment. What a fantastic video essay. Spoiled me on some media I've wanted to watch/play for a while, but man does it hit hard and feel like I've been touched. One of your best yet, thank you for making this!
