thanks for picking my suggestion!! it was great getting an analysis of the movie.

I like this reverse reverse replay value episode good job mang

I loved how completely meta this video was. Talking about a film almost entirely shown as forgotten timelines, using the naming scheme of the original series to show a less structured format than we're used to, ending the episode on how most are begun. All of this on the day of the year most known for pranks. This is why you're my favorite analysis youtuber to watch. Keep up the good work, dude!

I think this is one of the only endings to an anime I've been satisfied with

I honestly just love your channel. It’s one of if not the only scene analysis channel that is able to point out things I never realized previously while also making the content itself entertaining.

The thing that destroyed me in this movie was when Sakuta was just deliriously walking down the train tracks shown in the movie after losing his reason to run.

Protect Shoko‘s smile.

You got me interested in watching Bunny Girl Senpai with the time loop video, didn't get around to watching it for a while. Then I saw you post this one, and decided to watch the show so I could watch this. Then, after I finished the show in a single day, I started watching this, only to learn that it's about a film that I didn't know was a thing. I watched the film, today. Mai's death was as shocking as Mayuri's was. That doesn't happen often. I loved it~ Thanks for being the sole inspiration and motivation for me to experience this series~

Just here to say I appreciate the Xenoblade 2 music and also the octopath music u use pretty frequently

This is one of the most criminally underrated channels your observations are spectacular and the videos you make is so amazing!!

Damn, the movie hits hard. I'm not really into these kind of anime but this one is an exception

Re the safe ending: Having read the light novel, it's a much more coherent and satisfying ending than the source material, which kind of just handwaves away the stakes but also may be suggesting that Shoko bootstrapped herself into godhood and/or Sakuta is hallucinating. Though I remain disappointed that they didn't pay off the setup of Kamisato telling him to die repeatedly in the show - once he knows about December 24, he actually has a response for her: "That's the plan."

Oh ho, I see what you did there. Clever. I recently watched this movie so it's still pretty fresh in my mind. Mai's death was incredibly heartbreaking. But it irked me how safe the ending was. I'm not against a happy ending, but I wish we could have had scenes to show how things still turned out the same without Shouko's interference. I do think the solution of how Shouko was saved was pretty clever though.

You ending off with "Hello and welcome to replay value" where we could hit the replay button and start the video like your other videos was a loop in of itself. I thoroughly enjoyed that :)

This movie is literally just a retelling of Steins Gate if you think about it

Great stuff~ I watched the movie in cinema and I highly enjoyed it & actually liked it more than the original show, but.. in restrospective, I would value it even more without that final scene at the beach. As you stated - it was a full-blown happy ending, which would've been fine by itself.. but that last revelation just felt a tad unnecessary overall with all of them actually remembering everything. Sometimes it's better to leave a little bit of mistery left unanswered. Geez, even just a "show - don't tell" approach with only having the viewer know that it's her would have been fine, too.

I actually was unable to emotionally connect with the movie, and felt a bit disappointed with it compared to the show. But your analysis made me rethink my approach to it. I still think that it would benefit from a longer time for this timeline, exploring the concept of inevitability of December 24th and the ways characters try to cope with it. But it all makes much more sense now

Just wanna say this video is so good, I like the way you described the anime and movie and how simple u explained the different timelines for people to understand

Loved it! Honestly your breakdown of scenes/anime honestly is really enjoyable content, love seeing when you post a new video

Just for the Xenoblade Chronicles 2 music you deserve a like, good sir. Amazing video. 💖

Endless comment incoming I love Hajime Kamoshida's (Sakurasou's Girlfriend, Bunny Senpai) writing style so what I'm gonna say it's pretty biased. Having said that, Dream Girl was incredible disappointing to me because of its ending, like you said, by being way too soft on the characters and how it should have affected their lives in their rebooted universe BUT, even though I hated the end result, I think the really important aspect to focus on is how wonderfully the relationships between characters are build. In 2:18 you say the third timeline feels hollow because the choice of leaving Shouko to die is not one Sakuta nor Mai would choose, but I think that's precisely why it's interesting, it's a horrible choice to take and a hard one for any pair of teens, especially for Sakuta, because of all what Shouko means to him. It's there where the quality of the dialogues and relationships between characters really shine. I love the foreshadowing in the series of Mai saying she loves Sakuta more than he (and the audience) think and the movie shows it, not only by saving Sakuta from the car, which is pretty obvious, but by her being willing to abandon the career she loves (and potentially her Adolescent Syndrome coming back because of that), leaving her own house and her sister just to save him, but by being aware of the fact that, even though Sakuta came back from the future, Mai was convinced (and right) Sakuta would still choose to die to save Shouko. I adore all the moments of weakness when Sakuta is just a teen who is deeply in love with his girlfriend, when he plain says to Shouko that he can't do it, he can't sacrifice his future with Mai just to save her. When he loses all motivation to live when Mai is no longer there it's the slap in his face he needed to feel to ask himself about what could do to his happy life if he continues to think about others well-being first. I think that's what the author really wanted us to see. The happy ending it's too much for me, and I think the movie should have ended with either Sakuta returning to save Mai and both of them having to come to terms with the fact of Shouko's death, or at least, a rebooted world where it's not as easy to just reconnect with all of his friends in a world where he needed to help his little sister bullying-victim fase without Shouko's existence. Even if Kamoshida felt the absolute need of having a happy ending, I think it would have been a good thing the characters having their memories of the other possible futures, Sakuta knowing how a world without Mai is and if he is willing to continue helping people knowing what could happen to his loved ones.

That helped so much! I watched it 3 times and never quite understood how the ending was possible! Probably cos I struggle to read subtitles through a constant flood of tears 😭 I was even sobbing watching this! How do they make me care as much for fictional characters as for anyone in real life? Best story ever, no arguments thanks😁

I like how you gave the video a nested structure, in the same way as you described it had been done in the movie; only realised it at the end hahah

thank you for making me watch this movie ive just finished rewatching the anime and the movie now and im in that state of... reflection? emptiness? peace?... that i get after watching a really good show. thank you

Well, I just watched the movie today. Then one of your Oregairu videos came up on my recommended, and from there this video was recommended. Yeah, I'm still crying

I love the way you handle your channel so much, I was a big fan of this movie as well, and been going through your videos for more suggestions of what to watch just so I can see your amazing takes. I love how much you bring attention to the subtle nuances in movies and shows and even have your own in your videos, criminally underrated channel, thanks for all the hard work so far and cant wait for more!

this is the clarification video that i needed idk abt u guys but after watching i was still confused abt some parts thanks for explaining it.

I watched like 3 mins from this vid, realized that I haven't watch the movie, only the series. I paused your vid, watched the movie and now finished the vid. Nice concept there

That was a really nice analysis , underrated channel here.

Great video structure! Because you immediately went into spoiler territory, I had to come around to watching this. Happy ending was inevitable. You could even say that when the branch of time forked, the parallel universes were on a convergent path (collapsed onto this one observation despite the infinite possibilities, JUST BECAUSE!). Which I also liked. Just Because! is good, same author.

I love your analysis and also the format of your video! Very meta.

I can’t wait for that video to come out!

Finally found a video that analyse the timeline of the series

For some reason I came up with the weirdest way to sum up the movie First the ghost of Christmas future shows up and says some stuff then everyone on the same day decides to become a Loki main and spam switch teleport but then thanos listening to some music accidentally snaps along to the beat erasing a bunch of people and entire existences but then it’a assassins creed and people pass their memories down and then they’re like hi

THIS WEEK ALONE.. ..I don't watch much anime, but I was bored the other day and found Rascal when looking for slice of life bs. I watched the show and movie and really love that relationship and I'm itching to see more. I then found Oregairu in my efforts to find something to replace Rascal, and enjoyed it. It's fucking madness it's getting a new season in a few days 5 years after the last episode, I literally never heard of it until 3 days ago. NOW I find this great channel which has done videos on both these series in the same week. What a world lol keep up the vids I'll subscribb

Awesome video! :) Would love for you to keep taking about fate zero tho, not necessarily an ep to ep analysis, but an in depth essay on saber's and kiritsugu relationship and how it develops on the series would be great!

Thank you for actually clearing that ending up❤️

We want season 2 tho But the LN aren't complete yet

Shoko resets the timeline from the beginning. Yet somehow everyone ends up the same. But we never see the anime itself in the new timeline. The anime both happens, and doesnt. From our perspective, We see the old timeline anime, Then the outcome of the new timeline. We can only connect the old timeline plot to the new timeline. Which means the entire thing is another Schrodinger's cat paradox. The anime Both happens and doesnt happen. We never see how it played out in the new timeline. Just the outcome of it.

Damn, this really gave me a whole new understanding of the movie. It was a great analysis

Please do some in depth analysis on the adolescence syndrome. I think this anime has so much more to say than just once short video. Your work is awesome, please give us more Bunny Girl!

You could make a video about how all of the events from the show all transpire in the movie and how its all foreshadowing. And furthermore the importance of that foreshadowing. Maybe.

This movie really had me crying

Definetely watching the movie even though I spoiled myself this was a great video!

Replay value you can’t just upload back to back banger videos every day. Replay value: want to see me do it again?

Does anybody know how you could see the movie that doesn’t evolve going back in time and purchasing a movie ticket. Thank you 🙏 😊

Isn’t that shoko walking on the beach?

I'm not very good with English, but from what I understood you say that Sakuta does not seem to have lost anything by risking the last trip in time to save Shoko, but from what I understood the trip affected that his sister Kaede still cannot Recovering from his puberty syndrome trauma, in the film at the end it is shown that he is still trying to get out of his building but still cannot.

Damn this is a smart way to turn things on its head. Really nice video! Movie was really good as well

Well done! Well said! Happy April Fools!

Awesome execution

Thank you for making this

Really digging the Xenoblade 2 music

one does not simply kill mai and expect to live a long life

please! can ya do more videos on this anime. like i really would like to know what ya can come up with.

We have to do a replay value analysis on this video you made.

I loved this movie so much it was so crushing but fulfilling

I want a season 2 but I’m not sure my heart can take it

we'll be waiting for the second season and that kiss

I loved the movie but I found a little disappointing because undermined so much the anime series. To me the core of the series is that Sakuta got the reassurance of Shoko of that Horizonte beyond, and that his days should be spent being a kindlier person. If that's not how Sakuta became the person he is, it implies that meeting Shoko wasn't important. Like or the series lied to me or the Movie and nothing really maters. Probably the movie got it wrong, and the path should be Shoko delivers the speech to Mai, Mai by chance or something inspires Sakuta and everybody get the happy end. That way the thesis of the movie would be "being kind reaches to people in one or another way". And then at the end "remember" their past lives or something. Neat video. Thank you for making it.

An amazing video like always!! please do an analysis video of the last episodes of kekkai sensen's season 1 and 2.....

No words needed. Ill just give you a like

the movie reminded me a lot of Your Name, since it had a very similar plot structure

My favorite anime

Time police is a powerful force

Full circle man... That was genius

A very good movie, I went to watch it twice when it was showing around my place.

I like how the video is about Bunny girl senpai, And the VIDEO refers to Bunny girl senpai..

just watched this great movie :)

I do hope this anime gets a second season

I upvoted before watching the video. I guess I'm just biased cuz I like your channel and dreaming girl way too much.

to be honest, having seen your Hyouka analysis, i think there's a lot to be said. At least in terms of the level of attention to detail in the dialogue and the show.

Replay value cannot possibly be this cute.

nice a Rascal Does not Dream video

fuk! this video itself was a timetravel anime -_- i supose to hear that "hello and welcome" first _

Loved the movie, great video as well. :)

My only criticism for the movie is that it is quite rushed. It would have been perfect for an episodic-structure.

I'm from a separate timeline where you actually made a review

Ok, that was realy good. I loved it.

Where can I watch the movie someone pls tell me because I have been waiting to see it

How can you watch this movie? I looked everywhere and cant find how...

I love the Xenoblade Music

Guys is there any way for me to see the movie because I didn't see it in theaters

Nicely executed concept. :D

I haven’t seen the movie but how would you guys say this holds up against the Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya? It appears from the outside to follow similar story beats to the Kyon’s experience in his respective series. I’m just curious.

Will rascal does not dream lost singer release anime version?

Xenoblade 2 music😍

a Bunny girl video. Omg I love you!

Hope they do a season 2

not a single bunny girl senpai suit was shown in this video,really?!

This both spoiled the shit out of the show, but also made me 10x more interested!

Liked it for the title😂

to be frank the ending of the movie doesn't make sense, i mean a lot of the stories we know happen because sakuta met shouko, but the one thing that really clicked is the pussying off killing shouko jesus before this arc kaeda the one cute imouto we know was killed damn it, well personality wise.

WHERE DID YOU SEE IT IVE BEEN TRYING TO FIND THE MOVIE (for legal streaming of course. Illegal Is my last resort) I’ll be willing to buy it as well I had to click away for I felt spoilers lol

Wasn't there a line at the end between Mai and Sakuta that reaffirmed that the events of the first season actually did happen, or did that all get erased too?

👑

Hi!! I was just wondering how I could watch the movie online ? I haven’t been able to find it anywhere

Like the meta commentary!

This is great!

If you pay attention, Kaede's memories never came back. At the end of the movie, she mentions that she is practicing to go to school again, just she did back in the anime before her memory came back, although this Kaede is more... a mix between the old two. Maybe that's why the foreshadowing of a possible season 2 plot?
