Shoulder Boulder guy got to be one of the best characters in the series, the fact that he was spared

"If your neighbours started dying and turning into plants, what would you do?" I haven't seen my neighbours three months, maybe they already are plants.

Moral of the story: Don't be an asshole and an eldritch being won't purge you from existence.

"So how can I beat this anime??" "Just being nice" 👍👍

It’s sad how Kimi accidentally caused misunderstandings early on. The immigrants distrust the old people because the old people give them gifts of expired food, except this food isn’t actually expired, it’s marked as probably expiring in the future of the year the housing complex is trapped in but is several years in the past for the immigrants. You’d be disgusted if your new neighbors gave you gifts of sweets and fish that expired in 2000 if you thought the year was 2020. Then the fishmen realize Kimi is the god they’re trying to petition to bring back Kuzululu/Cthulhu so they leave sacrifices on her doorstep like good little petitioners and Yuri’s family misinterpret this as them saying Kimi is the super special sacrifice needed to sway the god they’re trying to petition. Then there’s the fact that this is the second time this series of events has played out if the beginning of the series is any indication, we see a crazed boulder shoulder guy attacking Kimi and Yuri before his face is illuminated in rainbow light and things get reset, so the previous loop things went even worse with the immigrants and this time Kimi was trying to make an effort to smooth over relations between the elderly residents and the immigrants. And most likely Creepy Kid knew about Kimi and the reason he was a shut in was well you’d probably be a shut-in if you were the only one in your building that knew it was actually the year 2020 when it’s the year 2000 in the complex. He probably only left at night on the assumption that Kimi, being a 10 year old girl, is going to be heading off to eldritch abomination dream land at 8-9pm like every other 10 year old so he doesn’t have to worry about her finding out he’s desperately trying to figure out how to free them. He’s probably also the owner of the anime girl fan we see that’s copyrighted at 2011, most likely an attempt to show his mom and the others that they’re trapped in a time warp.

I love how blatant the Lovecraft calls are, and how the message is decidedly the opposite of everything he believed when he was alive.

Moral of the story, if you find an ancient ruin, don't touch it. Leave it alone, you don't have that anthropology degree you wanted, so you don't get to touch it.

I find it rather silly that she judges humanity based on one housing complex full of prejudiced people.

In my view Kimi is actually the one that caused all the problems and confusion. Everyone with the exception of Yuri's family was innocent! Kimi knew how things would end, but did little to nothing to sort things out and instead made everyone even more confused. But the worst part out of all of this is that she says that it's the humanity fault when in reality she was messing with everyone heads. I hate when animes like this can have a happy ending, but the story is so convoluted that everything goes wrong for stupid reasons.

The guy getting spared is in the fact she saved him was a sign she is going to save him no matter what besides all the humans in the world

"If your family started dying and turning into plants, what would you do?" Well...man, this is a nightmare scenario, because I'm a vegetarian. I have...I have a duty. And I'm eating the vegans first.

How To Beat Anime, really shows their Intelligence to us so that if we end up in that anime world we use their knowledge to survive

The 21-foot rule involves unholstering from a retention holster and pointing at the assailant. It doesn't apply to weapons already in hand.

i love this channel because i dont need a crunchyroll subscription

Kan deserved being spared he tried to warn and help Kimi. So he was deemed as epic and to be spared

People: *Gets killed by unknown force or someone* Two little girls: Ah yes let us investigate it ourselves!

This is unrealistic because any normal community would vacate the island immediately as soon as someone dies and freaking turns into plants.

Didn’t know what to expect with this video but I’m always a big fan of Lovecraftian media. Right at the start you got the Elder Sign, which in Lovecrafts works is a protective sigil that wards against otherworldly forces. The creatures seen by Kimi from atop the Complex are Deep Ones, essentially Fishmen who worship the Great Old Ones, like Cthulhu or Dagon, and are known for trading golden trinkets with humans in exchange for breeding with thier women to create hybrid offspring. Love how the various drawings left around by the creepy kid are all Lovecraftian creatures, I could see at least Star-Spawns Of Cthulhu and I think the Great Race Of Yith.

I saw this anime during a Halloween marathon. I thought it was fun but it definitely could have used more episodes and more character development. It seemed to abrupt an ending.

Kimi's fetus mom ... I thought I missed a part and rewatched the whole thing up to that point. Ok so I didn't miss anything, the fetus mom was just introduced out of nowhere

I do wish this had more episodes or a greater look into Kimi as a “person”. Viewers can put together pretty easily that Kimi has seen human suffering up until the year 2000 and started the timeloop. She’s done practically nothing to stop the loop seeing as each event is worse than the last and even then isn’t keeping a good job holding it up because modern day items can easily slip in (including a anime poster that obviously tipped the weird kid off to the time loop and what got him killed which has been the deciding factor in god knows how many loops). As far a god she doesn’t seem to be that old and looks at humanity as a smear- it would be nice to get a second season/part where she’s sees all the bad the world has done post-2001 and feels justified in her judgment but has to learn about the good that has been done as well and even if most humans are terrible the whole race doesn’t deserve to be wiped out or abandoned. Oh and that’s a another thing she essentially abandoned the rest of the world just to prove a point in a not well thought out plan. Seriously, if I a normal person in the normal day was given food from people in 2001 and it instantly goes bad I would also be very upset.

Boulder shoulder guy is the best 😌

So yesterday my little brother gave me some "special candy." I ate it and went about my day thinking "hey, it's probably just ganja." I was wrong. I was very wrong. It was shroom candy and it kicked in at 15:13 right when the girls are looking at the mural. I started freaking out thinking Cthulhu was really gonna get me. I was seeing visuals and a halo rainbow effect on all the characters. I saw the cave paintings move on their own. I saw a castle floating on top of purple clouds. I tripped hard. That was yesterday I'm sober now but God was I scared. If your kid brother gives you special candy ask him what's in it lol.

Boulder shoulder guy is a very cool person.

The "gods" just want to be friends and have shaved ice. So if you want to beat them , just don't act like someone from up north and buy them a slushy.

Hey at least bouldershoulder guy and his brother got a happy ending being able to leave the island

Shoulder boulder guy is a W

It's rare to see a proper lovecraft inspired story in anime, right down to the racist characters. Now I'm curious, I mean I already knew exactly what was going on when I saw the elder sign (the star symbol) but I still want to see it through.

Boulder Shoulder being the only one light and of good heart for her to want to spare.

Kimmy sparing him means he's pure hearted ♥ W charactar.

This island could easily be straight from the Lovecraft universe. Hell, change the deities' names to Dagon and this could be the "pacific island" from shadows over innsmouth.

Imagine getting this question on a test: "If your neighbors starting dying and turned into plants, what would you do?” Me: hey can l h ave my phone out? I need to check How to Beat

I’m so glad someone actually covers this anime. This anime is only 4 episodes long and 23 minutes each, If you guys have the time please check it out. This anime drops fonts and spoilers in the intro and throughout the episodes.

The series was short but damn was it good, by the way how could they not realize it's the girl. I honestly thought her mom's been dead for some time and she just went bad shit crazy by episode 2

Boulder shoulder guy W 🔥

It was such a twist omg I loved this anime!!

You guys always make my week ❤ Keep Making video!

Boulder Shoulder Guy is a great character!

It's funny, I was watching this anime a few months ago, but I stopped watching because I got so busy with my job. Thanks for the great video you guys.

Why am I not surprised that glasses guy is evil

Oh god I think my brain is officially broken, when I heard him say “your turn to die” I immediately thought of the game instead of the literal meaning of the words.

Dude, human bodies are not toxic to plants, just ask my roses in the backyard.

19:23 you bogus boy I started laughing immediately as soon as you said his “well defined” 😂😂😂

wait if yuri was in on the whole mruder plan and was dwn with mrudering kimi why did she....save her from ehr cazy dad? feels like the writers thougth having kimi be the one doing murders wasn't enough of a twist and so threw in a random twist out of nowhere.

"all of humanity is selfish" me:says the one who spared 1 guy, so not all. just a large bunch

So that means that for the past 20 years no one that originally lived there aged?

Very Shadow over Innsmouth with the fish people and warring factions eldritch sea god Lovecraft mythos is some of my favorite writing because it’s so hard to pull off right but when you do it hits hard

I feel if I tried to take a drink each time you said Bolder Sholder, I think Iw ould die. XD Loved this so much!!

YEAH!!! HAHA!!! GO Boulder Shoulder Guy!

Sweet!

15:18 Archaeology, not paleontology. Paleontology deals with animals, archaeology deals with humans. And that specific method is usually delegated to a geologist.

I saw this show this past Fall and I was very disappointed. We didn’t get to know the characters very well and it wasn’t very scary when the people turned into plants. But the crazy family at the last episode was absolutely terrifying but at the same time out of nowhere.

Awesome

3:00 I take that personally!!!! 😤😤😤

This is my first time ever watching How To Beat Anime's videos. The only thing that I have to say about this is Where was the "How To Beat" part?!

nice vid

I’m glad Boulder Shoulder Guy lives

I felt the show needed at least 4 more episodes to feel more complete but I did like the fact that many of the characters were older people, just something different.

How to beat every anime ever...Never trust Glasses Guy 🤓

Did boulder shoulder guys brother survive? Or did he end up dying when he went to leave

"Complex? I find it quite si- oh dear god no this _is_ rather complex-"

Oh yea

*sees the eye with the star* Double checks notes. That's a ducking elder sign o_o

Hi How To Beat Anime I love this and I hope you have a good day and you are awesome and funny

2:54 the sound effect lol

The 21 foot rule only applies to trying to draw a weapon on a target. It kinda doesn't matter if you ALREADY have your weapon drawn.

Interesting 1

Yes

boulder shoulder guy look so funny help-

Shoulder boulder guy's brother got big brain to leave the island

No instructions given, I am now moss

Yuri's Dad Has Glasses Guy Energy

Yay Our Chad Is Survive

Moral of the story; Be Kind Rewind.

Have a damn good day

If Nyaruko-chan where there, things would've been a lot less serious.

shoulder boulder guy best waifu fr

I am ready for apocalypse

You know, you should probably be suspicious of a girl who can read an ancient dialect like it's no biggie.

It's cthulu's younger brother czululu

Worried about strange night happenings? Dude in Red Pants Security Systems is here!

Kimmy is Yog-Sothoth, damn, what a twist XD

I thought this was a video on like how to beat Kimi lol but it's about figuring out the mystery lol

Boulder Shoulder Guy looks like a Baki character.

I was very disappointing with how housing complex c ended and how short it was

Why does this remind if Lovecrafts Ibswitch horror story?

Whenever the head was in the pot my organs nearly exited my throat.

Dagon, is that you? Oh nevermind it's "Kuzululu". Wonder why that sounds familiar...

Plot twist inside plot twist

Nice video

“your turn to die” *midori’s theme intensifies*

Early finally!

Tbh this if my first time seeing a jacked out dude surviving (Edit at least in an anime)
