"if you've seen it and you wanna watch it again, do it" Me, who just finished my 6th she-ra rewatch last night: "all right let's go again."

omg i can't get over how INCREDIBLE the voice acting is in this show???? aj's voice acting for catra in particular is honestly one the best performances i've ever heard 😭

She ra more like near ra the edge of my sanity

When you've seen corridors and save the cat 10 times and still cry over it every time, you know the show is worth it

I'm 40, I grew up with the original She-ra and I love this reboot soooo much. Really, everyone saying the original was better is just being blinded by nostalgia.

I'm not American and I was born in the 2000s, so the first time I had ever heard of Shera was when the first promotional images for the reboot came out and people were getting up in arms about Adora's design. I thought of people's reactions as being very exaggerated, but I didn't give the show much thought after until back in July, when I rejoined tumblr and noticed people talking about it. I wish I had watched it from the get go. On top of quickly becoming one of my all time favorite cartoons and shows ( up there with ATLA, Gravity Falls and anime like Hunter x Hunter and Fullmetal Alchemist ) and it has also become extremely dear to my heart for personal reasons. I've been in a "sexuality crisis" so to say for a few years now. I live in a country that doen't take too kindly to LGBT folks, so I wasn't able to fully accept my attraction towards the same gender...until Shera that is. I prefer watching animated media over live action media, more sepcifically action and/or fantasy shows. And Shera was my first time seeing a love story between two women be such a vital and important component of an overall huge plot. Seeing this and the stigma-free world of the series helped me come a long way towards self-acceptance. I've also always been a fan of complicated familial relationships ( positive or negative ) and the show delivered it in spades with the central theme of the Cycle of Abuse and the contrast between multiple parental figures throughout the story. Shera is a show that really has something for me to sink my teeth into it when it comes to character and relationship analyses. Which is an activity I enjoy doing as I tend to overthink stuff in general. It's been only a few months since I've discovered Shera, but it feels longer. Watching it all for the first time almost felt like coming home from an unknown land. I think the experience will stick to me for a long time. And the thought of others finding such comfort through Shera as I did brings me a lot of joy. Thank you for making this video!

Razz' ep with the backstory on how she met mara made me cry for hours after it ended :c

I like how I watch this even though I already know that She Ra was worth watching.... ...Because I’ve watched it about 10 times now..

"Hm I wonder if there are any good new shows I can watch." "..." "Well this is a message from the universe for sure. Another re-watch of She-ra it is."

She ra is a show that saved me by ripping me away from an extremely intense panic attack and later led to me deciding to become an animator and finding my sense of purpose. This show is like a warm hug to anyone struggling with themselves. It serves as both an escape and a teacher. It’s focus on character interaction as the main source of plot is awesome amongst a slew of shows based mostly on world building, and caters to a demographic that isn’t really targeted a lot in cartoons. It’s an absolute masterpiece and everyone should watch it, especially if you’re a teen dealing with mental illness and or trauma.

Me: But I’ve already seen She-Ra six times! Five by Five: * Palpatine voice* *Roll it again.*

She-Ra is one of those shows that I find I can make connections to. Whether it is to my own life as a trans person, or to other content that I really enjoy. One connection is Adora's realization of what the Horde is and her transition to the Rebellion, and her finding her true self throughout the show, from finding the sword and how She Ra affects her, to as I stated before, her transitioning from the Horde and the affects of growing up in the horde

I'm gonna watch it just because I'm obsessed with that dudes mustache Update: I watched it, i'm emotionally destroyed and gayer than ever, and I can't believe all it took to get me to watch it was Sea Hawk's mustache

I was bamboozled, hoodwinked and amazed at HOW GODAMN GOOD THIS IS. We dont deserve it

Yes! The music doesn't get enough credit! The Promise theme literally breaks my heart every time I hear it. The soundtrack is absolutely gorgeous. Promise, Princess Prom, Battle for Brightmoon, Fractures... It is hard to even sort them for greatness, because they are all awesome! (Promise is best tho, no doubt about it)

THANK YOU FOR ACKNOWLEDGING THE MUSIC OF SHERA. I’m a pretty big music nerd and legit no other piece of music gets me more happy or more excited than Promise. I’m in love with how it represents Catra and Adora’s amazingly complex relationship and the different turns it makes, as well as how dramatic it gets in the ending, to the final note that doesn’t resolve because I believe the song is a question, will you honor the promise? Or will you break it? And I’m just sitting here crying because music is so important to this show and sunna makes my heart break

"If you've already seen it and you're watching this for fun to confirm things you already know" Damn, I've been found out.

the point about the music is so true; it's one of those aspects where if you're just watching it you may not notice how good the music is, but your brain does, and got damb is it some good music now it is time to send this video to literally everyone i know

The art style is relatively simple, but my god the physicality of the characters is just amazing. Entrapta, Sea Hawk, and Catra in particular have fantastic ways of moving around especially when Entrapta’s excited, Sea Hawk’s hamming it up, and Catra feels like being particularly insufferable. Just one of those details that really adds something special.

We really, really, really need a movie were Catra and Adora are wives for more than 5 minutes.

This show came at a time when I really needed it, and immediately became my comfort show. It literally got me through 2020. When the world just seemed too ugly and everything looked hopeless, I could watch She-Ra and be reminded of goodness, hope, and love even in the face of darkness and struggle and pain. Not to mention, it feels like the first time I've seen a show TRULY leave behind all the bigotry that seems so inherent to our society. When people have conflict in the show, it's because of what they've done, not who they are. She-Ra is important as an example of what that can look like.

"17 and a half hours" Wait so this implies we can do a marathon where we just watch all of she-ra in one day. Also, I'd argue the animation is better than in ATLA. WAIT YOU'RE TELLING ME EVAN HANSEN IS SEAHAWK?

2 videos of Five by Five Takes,......in less than 2 weeks?......WHO ARE YOU SKRULL?? Jokes aside another fantastic video on Shera, seriously this show is amazing, I grow up on He-Man and She-ra back in the 90' (yes I'm damn old), and I not afraid to say that this show blow the original out of the water in all fronts....Animation, story, characters, music, themes, Artwork, you name it, its just better, this is one of the few shows that grab me emotional, just like Avatar or Korra or Steven Universe and its one of the few shows that I already watch it more than 1 time each season (currently 3 times) so yeah is so much re-watchable, more impressive knowing that this show is not that old, its was done in only 2 years, thats incredible, you will think that was rushed, but no, each season become better than the last and easily now I put She-Ra in my top 5 best cartoon shows ever made, along with Avatar and Batman TAS, its that damn good. I really really hope that Noelle Stevenson and the rest of the Shera Crew keep developed TV shows of this quality, I hope we get to hear soon what is next for this team, I cant thanks them enough for bring back She-Ra in this amazing way.

OMG YES THANK GOD SOMEONE TALKED ABOUT THE MUSIC IS SHE-RA. THE MUSIC WHENEVER CATRA AND ADORA HAVE A BIG SCENE IS INCREDIBLY MOVING. And you know what makes it even more heartbreaking? The soundtrack is called "Promise." I freaking cried.

I finished rewatching it 2 days ago. I’m so obsessed with it this video is perfect. I’ve been listening to the music to calm my addiction and promise the best song. The end makes me want to cry and I’ve only cried 3 times because of movies and shows. 20/10 show must watch always.

I remember when it first came out, I only saw like three episodes and didn't bother with it. But I return and watch the entire thing after the S05 finale. I cannot believe I slept on it. This show and Kipo were just welcome and wonderful surprises.

Me who has watched shera like 50 times and just waiting for that movie confirmation like 👁👄👁

I'm a middle aged cis white male. The series finale made me ugly cry. This show is a masterclass in character driven narrative.

lowkey the best show ive ever seen. i feel so luck to be able to witness such an amazing show. i wish i had watched it when it was still going on, as i had hear about it in mid 2019. but never cared to try it, after hearing how one of my friends absolutely hated it. and 2 months after the finale, i decided to try it and absolutely loved it. my one regret was not watching it sooner. this show is absolutely worth the time, and ill definitely be showing my kids this show when i have them.

THE PROMISE THEME ALWAYS MAKES ME CRYYYYY

"Ups the steaks." I spit out my coffee. That's joke was terrible... I loved it

Starting my second run through She-ra again. I started watching it with my daughter with the attitude of "Ok. I promised I'd watch the first 3 episodes. If I don't like it, I'm out." So ... then we watched the entire thing in 3 days. Given how terrible 2020 has been ... this show was a real ray of hope during a dark time for me, and for that alone it will always hold a special place for me. To say nothing about Entrapta. I have never, ever, seen a character I related to more than Entrapta. There's characters I love and enjoy, sure, but it's extremely rare for me to really relate to one because my outlook and way I see the world has always felt different from others. So from the moment she shows up I was hooked. There's a line she has at one point that I really needed to hear right about now. I won't spoil the show, but it's between her and Hordak, and I'm adopting it as my life's moto from here on out. Moving on now that i'm done fan girling, this show's emotional feel is amazing, which blew me away and wasn't something I expected from a kid's show aimed at 7 year olds. I could go on and on. I'm still trying to convince friends to watch it. To be honest, they are all having the same reaction I did when I try to talk them into it. "...Oh come on. It's a kids show. How good could it be?" I wish I could get them to understand. This is amazing!

"Worth your time." That's an odd way of saying "literally perfect".

I just have one question guys... At the beginning of the series, Frosta is "eleven and three quarters", so at the end she's fourteen-fifteen, HOW COME SHE DIDN'T PHYSICALLY CHANGE???

God, you just keep making videos about sher-ra. PLEASE DON'T STOP!!!!!!!! Your analysis are always so good and well thoughtout. I honestly cried so fucking much on your "How She-ra gives us hope" that I immediatly subscribed and watched you Avatar video when I stopped happy sobbing. Eveytime I saw a new she-ra video over those last few weeks when I first met your channel I clicked instantly! Your videos are simply amazing!!!! Thanks for sharing your thoughts!!!!!!

I love Catra so much. She is the first character that I have deeply related to, and watching her deal with her own trauma helped me with mine. She-ra is an amazing show please do yourself a favor and watch it.

0:47 I wasn't ready for that "hey Adora" omg my heart I LOVE THIS WOMAN SO MUCH

“If you wanna re-watch it again, do it” as I’m watching this video while she-ra plays in the background for the 100th time at least

my sister was the one who introduced me to this show and over the summer and we watched the first few episodes and then we forgot about it for a while. after a couple months we started watching it again and after princess prom i was hooked. i’ve rewatched it twice and i’m starting to rewatch it again. i can’t even begin to express how much i love this show and everything about it

I never expected this show to hit me as hard as it did. My English teacher recommended it to me while it was still in season 2 and I was like "meh", then I saw everyone talking about it and couldn't resist spoiling myself with little bits of it (I always spoil myself a bit to make sure that it's actually something I will enjoy) and was like I NEED TO WATCH THIS. But then I forgot. Until 2021 when my sister watched it and actually pushed me to finally watch it myself. *I think I've never been more emotionally invested in a show in my life.*

This show was fantastic, simplistic art style aside. It takes a lot to get me, a 29 year old man to cry, and I did a grand total of four times throughout this series, both in happiness, and in sadness. Yes, it is just that damn good. It's been over a month since my first watch through, and yet I still cannot stop thinking about it.

And the STARS! Like just the stars in the background scenes of season 5 are. just. *cries*

I absolutely love how She-ra does landscapes, I base a lot of my own art off the idea that this could be on Etheria

Can we please get an adora character study, the way she deals with her trauma is really interesting in how different it is to Catra

I've stayed away from this show, for I heard some negative things about it a year, or two ago, but I finally decided to watch it a few days ago. I binged the whole series and loved it. Catra is easily one of my favorite characters ever c:

I feel spiritually connected to Shadow Weaver's disconnect from all the others around her. Girl just wanted to do some gardening.

If this show had been on when I was young, I would not have felt so strange for liking girls and boys, for wearing pink, and for wanting to play the girl character in every fighting game. Shows like this matter and screw anyone who thinks it doesnt.

I was on the verge of dropping this show up until Catra opens the portal and they all got stuck in that weird pocket dimension. Just watching Adora have everyone tell her things are fine when she knows they aren't and can't figure out why hit home for me; at the time something similar was happening to me. Anyway I'm glad I stayed as the last few seasons were really good.

HAHA this came out on my birthday, amazing! this is such a well crafted video (and series, ive watched the other ones and ur catra video made me cry) and im really thankful to be watching this. ive loved shera for so long and it's become a small part of my life, but i've never looked THAT deeply into it. this has shown me just how amazing a work of fiction it is, and i guess that means it's time for a rewatch

I’m so deeply amazed by how many people truly enjoy this show, when i first discovered it, in 2018. It was right at the beggining, just one season, which of course i watched in almost two days, but my expectations by episode 11 were just blown away. That score, that character build-up which offers you a sense of sympathy and gosh, the *tears* . The feels of wanting to be there, in that fantastical world, as i got to watch the seasons as they aired, season three ( but as mentioned in this video, could be consider the second half of season 2 ) ripped a part of my soul out, with that ending. What can i say about season 4 or 5 then? If you haven’t watched it, i suggest you do, not because of the posts you’ve probably seen more often of two girls( one cat-ish and the other giant- lady-with-blue-sword ), do it, because let’s be honest, that package of perfectly arranged emotions can lead you to a world of its own. And i’m done. Five by Five Takes you have my respect.

you always have amazing takes on everything! She Ra will literally stick with me forever

I just realized that She-Ra's original outfit had spiked shoulders like Adora's cadet jacket which I guess could symbolize that she still feels some connection to the Horde.

I like the editing in here. I got the “why Catra is important” video on my recommended, but because my life has basically come to revolve around She-Ra, I’ve refused to watch anything She-Ra related when I’m trying to relax. Soooo I literally just came here to hear more praise about this show lol

i’ve been obsessed with this show ever since i first watched it and had been kind of keeping it as a secret until a week ago i discovered my best friend also watched it and loved it and now we’re rewatching it together :D

“Worth my time” is an understatement. I’m shocked to why it took so long for me to start it, and the only thing to me that it’s a flaw is that I wanted more seasons, and more stories with these characters :3

Thank you for bringing up the score! Honestly, that's the part that has stuck with me the most out of the whole series. It just lodges itself in your heart and goes to town on the strings.

Alright I'll rewatch, you've convinced me

thank you so much for all this amazing she ra content! I rewatch your other videos on a regular basis :) this series has a very special place in my heart. gonna start watching it for the third time now.

You have to go into this show looking for the story in the arc. The individual episodes have 80's cartoon plot sensibilities, problem, complication, hard the-more-you-know solutions. But there's no clean-slate resolution, characters have lingering problems within the episode or they learn things about themselves and others that they don't have to learn next time. Interactions can be melodramatic in places but can be almost disturbingly emotionally intelligent in others. The seasons as a whole have great storytelling where choices and decisions have far-reaching impacts. What She-Ra does that makes it exceptional isn't representation, or character growth or Strong Female characters. you can find those things in any number of shows. It's not nostalgia or kitch. The show fails in a lot of ways there. The music and voice talent are better than they should be for a show like this but you can find better of each if that's what you want. You should watch She-Ra because it addresses character growth defined by relationship for every character in the show. All characters in the show are treated in their own regard by others and you can watch the result of that treatment play out across the show in this fantastically explored tapestry. The heroes, villains, background characters, even the comic relief, they all grow and change and you can look at those changes and tie them to specific events in prior episodes. It is probably the most textured characterization I've seen in any show and it gets better with every episode.

well... now I've gotta watch it again, don't I

i keep watching this video, usually when i send it to others edit: I really like your videos, and enjoy all of your analyses because they give me insight on the show and why I like it so much, so thank you, and please keep up with what you do. ❤️❤️❤️

“Show me she ra again” I say, for the bajillionth time this year Also idk if I’ve said this before in a dif vid but like?? Your content is????? So good???????? And so incredibly underrated???????????? Holy heck you deserve way more subs/views your video essays are literally so entertaining and interesting I watch them a lot they’re amazing

I stumbled upon the show after my heart getting torn apart from finishing Voltron, lol I feel in love with right away and was around when they renewed it for a second season but then promptly forgotten about until the last seasons because people didn't talk about it much! Which is a shame because I think that it tells s beautiful story, and I love that it takes a deep look at the chosen one trope we've seen so many and breaks it down with a charming conclusion about love and care

i’ve rewatched the show 13 times it’s an addiction at this point- but i’ll do it again 😌✨

*Currently on S4E11 and I am so damn invested in this story that if school didn’t exist o didn’t think I’d leave me bed due to me binging the hell out of this show*

That picture of Bow holding his bow has the opposite energy that Fire Emblem screenshot that's like "Lance, how fares your axe?"

After the show inspired me for life, I tried to convince my Sister to try the show. After she watched the first episodes, she binged watched the whole series herself! All she would say later was "I Love Entrap-Dak!❤️", Loudly.

I watched this video and then rewatched it! :) Thank you, it helped me with things I've been struggling with, made me laugh and cry and remember watching it for the first time with my friends... it meant a lot. And now I'm recommending another friend go back and finish it :)

WE'RE ON THE EDGE OF GREATNESS! false, I'm on the edge of losing it.

Been about a week and half since I started watching it the first time. Don't ask me how but I have managed to watch the show fully 2 times (currently on my 3rd) and have re-watched season 5 2 more times. I have always had hyper fixation problems so you can imagine how much this show wrecked me :) Also, funnily enough, I started this show about a year into deciding that I was bisexual. By the time I finished it for the second time I realized that I was a lesbian. So that alone should show you how much She Ra can cause you to reflect on yourself.

1:40 I actually like it when shows do that. Actually take the time to see how these people act. You can't really disrupt the status quo if you haven't established one. The one-offs actually give the world and characters focus. You really get a sense for what the characters are about because the entire episode is about them.

I’ve watched She-Ra everyday since season 5 came out. Can not get enough.

I love you’re videos so much, YOU ALWAYS SAY THE RIGHT THING

currently just going through your she ra videos and crying my eyes out, you word these so well 😭

FINE! You've convinced me! I'll rewatch again! Like.. 8th time now? But honestly, you have a way of talking about this show that can hype someone who's seen it 100 times. You have drawn out some of the hidden messages of this supposedly "kids show" and I appreciate your efforts into making these videos! Your videos have made me tear up sometimes just as much as the show. ESPECIALLY your corridors video! Holy crap! Keep at it! Thank you for your hard work!

God I love this show and your videos on it have made me appreciate it even more. I love your analysis and it gives me new things to think about when I go back for rewatches

I just finished watching this show through for the first time today. It was A-MAY-ZING. Honestly one of THE BEST animated shows I’ve ever watched.

I’m calling SW “Better-Hair Deadpool” from now on.

I finished it for the second time yesterday and i want to rewatch it again but i wasn’t sure whether i should but i will now 🥰🥰 it’s my favorite show ever! thank you so much for this amazing video ❤️

Okay can I just say that I absolutely love your videos on She-Ra? The way you explain them and how you explain them make them so easy to understand and awesome, and as a young person who loves to analyze every bit of the meaning of a TV show, I find it difficult to put my thoughts into actual words that make sense. Your videos do that for me, and it's like a sense of clarity. My family watched she ra with me, and their reaction was honestly not what I was hoping for. I love and will continue to love she ra, it's probably one of the most amazing shows I'm ever going to watch. My family didn't like it, focused way too much on its flaws and the things that didn't make sense about it, and were weirded out when I got mad at them for doing so. This show means so much to me its insane, it inspired me to come out to my family, it helped me understand a shit ton of stuff about the world that's hard for any teenager to wrap their head around, it made me understand myself more, my values, and it brought so much happiness to my life. This show honestly means the absolute world to me, and my family made me feel stupid for thinking that, which felt horrible. These videos actually make me feel like I'm not absolutely insane for loving it so much, so THANK YOU.

just realized i'm the same age as everyone she-ra 🧍 that definitely affected my view of the show but in the best way imaginable i started she-ra my first year of college and finished it at the ripe old age of 20, just as scared as the characters about the future but now a little bit more hopeful

Tyy for making this I will now send it to all my friends

you are on a ROLL lately, mad fucking props my guy. i'm watching this video on the heels of just having turned in an internship application where I ranted about how much Shera means to me (don't worry it was relevant) and this video helped me be less nervous about having just done that because YEAH shera is fucking incredible. also i've never actively thought about the music until you started playing those clips and i teared up on habit alone and like wow yeah the music is so insanely good?!?!

As much as the title of this show pushes princess emphasis (& I LUV how diverse they made them) they were nothing compared 2 the show’s CORE - the Lovestory of Catra & Adora 🥰

I am so glad that you talked about the music because i don't see it having the recognition that deserves.When i heard the complete version of 'Promise' for the first time i teared up a little bit,because the emotion that music have is so powerful and makes me feel like Catra.

I have rewatched it 3 times in a row but I'll do it again! Also, Promise is such a good score I downloaded it and listen to it when I'm sad!!!

Its shows like this, gravity falls, adventure time and avatar last Airbender that drive me to become an animator. I love your videos (And i've watched she-ra 3 times haha)

Love your analysis videos, and now I can use this video when I beg everyone I know to watch the series :) Couldn't agree more with all your points, but I would add one thing. I loved this universe so much because it had diverse representation AND showed a world where those differences are accepted as a given. There is definitely an important place for other stories where coming to terms with how one doesn't fit into society's oppressive norms is a key part of the plot, but it's also great to be immersed in this world where that doesn't have to be the main battle because differences are already accepted and appreciated! There are parts of the emotional journeys that could be interpreted as metaphors for seeking such acceptance but they feel more universalized, really getting to the emotional core of those journeys. Artful! Thanks for making these videos! Love the close and thoughtful readings.

Wow ! Thank you, i watched it for 10 times all over or something and your explaining very strong and clever points on this show. One of them, finally, is to give sunna miss little hans zimmerous credit for combinng music never heard such as before that delivers every theme of the story in a way that music speak the words and somewere betwin that mean so much more. Its deep. Exelent video! And i must say its worth our time but your defenetly have to worn people about the realy realy so much time spent after watching. Trying to calm your haert, nerve trying to get back to reality after this is like loosing an addIction to something that realy drows you in in its after effects lol

I love your videos so much! I’ve watched almost all of them! Keep up the good work ❤️❤️❤️

I've watched the entire show 7 times, why am I watching this?

To say how good She-ra is let me say it this way... I’m a straight guy and after finishing this show last week it has been playing in my mind constantly. I now have read multiple fan comics and fanfics about what people think happened to adora and Catra after season five. I am about to rewatch the whole series for a second time and this series has made me cry more than any other series I know which me crying over a show in the first place is rare. This show tells its’ story in a well paced, heartwarming way that leaves you wanting more. God I hope they make a movie.

And I love the opening song! 😻😆 I was rocking out to it every episode!

Me: *finished She Ra less than three days ago* *Watches this vid* *knowingly has exams soon* .... Maybe just like, the first season *watches entire show again*

I can honestly relate with the Shre-ra making you loose your mind point. Every time I re-watch this I get so choked up and by the time its over I'm emotionally worn out. Its too powerful

I watched all your videos about she-ra and you made me cry so much in all of them... I love your videos.. they are.. they are just so amazing...

Love waking up to new She Ra content, definitely gonna send this to some of my friends who haven’t seen it yet

"Watch it again. You know you want to" Can't argue with that logic

My question is why are y7 shows so emotional, when I was 7 I wouldn’t understand a think!
