The roman reigns comment aged like fucking milk acknowledge your tribal cheif☝️

I saw ranma like 5 yeats ago, this video made me feel like rewatching it

I just grow up whit naruto and i have my nostelgia whit noruto and now what there is no more noruto and there is thiss boruto we want noruto!!!!

I want noruto as mc and not thiss brat

I honestly don't have anything against the character of Boruto, but since we didn't get to see much of the relationships of Naruto after shippuden, combined with the fact the we don't get to see the old cast as much in the show, My feeling for wanting more of Naruto isn't gratified; when I finished Naruto shippuden I wanted to see more of Naruto and Hinata, I wanted to see more of Iruka sensei and the others. Overall, I think people would have felt more satisfied if we got a backstory of Boruto before we actually got to see Boruto as a story on its own. the reason Naruto shippuden was as successful was because it was a direct continuation of Naruto.

21:45 I see where Lelouch’s Zero Requiem came from

超好き

This show may have helped me find out if I'm demiromantic. Because I have never fallen in love with anybody but I want it so bad, and I feel lonely because I'm not... there have been times where I pretended to have a crush because i thought that was how it worked. I won't label myself demiromantic until I figure it out for sure, but I'm trying my best!

naruto’s entire experience with kakuzu exemplifies how fighting blindly without even trying to look into your opponent’s heart only winds up with a shallow victory that causes pain to the victor as well; naruto’s loss of confidence in his ideology is on blatant display as he effectively pursues destructive power regardless of consequence during the arc

4:46 Misgender! His a man!

Thank god in 2024 people are starting to understand the show but damn 5-6 years ago nobody did, everyone was talking about easily debunkable stuff like how neji was right (Naruto never said he was wrong in the manga) and yow caracthers are too strong ect I'm glad there's almost a majority of people understanding the show now

I CANT WATCH IT IM SO MAD

❤

I choose to believe that Naruto isn't about working hard to achieve your dreams, it's about the power of empathy and forgiveness

I'm kinda sad coz Kurapika wasn't able to visit Gon 😭😭

Alluka was never implied to have been anything other than a girl from birth. Nanika the entity that shared her body made her be rejected as something not human by her family who thought of her as a thing to be locked up. I always took this as more humanity of people who aren't neurotypical than any allegory for being trans. Also you forgot about Kite.

Neji was right, and Naruto only won because he used the half the strength of a God to win what amounted to a career review/talent show.

That's why obito is one of the worst and overrated character 🗑️🗑️🗑️

I am sick of everyone thinking ranma is two genders, no he's cursed he can be cured and eliminate that girl curse. But the writer never came out and said ranma is trans. So basically you guys look stupid.

Illumi did a backflip once

Ranma 1/2 is my favorite manganime, I lovet it. ❤🎉

"Sure I'll be Ranma, but at least I'll actually get to be me" :') Really excellent video! I loved hearing your perspective on such *gender* series. I don't remember how or where, but I remember catching an episode of two on tv while channel surfing and I found the antics fun and goofy! To this day I really love the series' design and general aesthetic, some of those outfits are just killer! However, I only caught a couple of episodes because my mother walked into the room and saw her young son was watching "filth". Whether people or not people want to accept it, Ranma is inherently a transgressive piece of work (pun intended). Like all other art, in it's existence and effort to share some sort of idea, it lives in the realm of the political. Even if the intention of the work was to be strictly feminist in nature, i.e. showing that female Ranma is just as capable as male Ranma, the exploration of gender is radical! I can't help but view this series and the broader themes it plays with in a social logical lens. Two things come to mind, first being "Onnagata". Onnagata were actors that played female kabuki roles so intensely they would "live as women". As far as I know, and can tell, that is the primeval origins of a broadly accepted form of trans identity in Japan. That's why the idea of a man becoming a woman, even in body, is a much more common and accepted idea. So say for us in the "west", that idea still plays as extremely transgressive. The second idea that comes to mind is Japan's Bill 156, "Tokyo Metropolitan Ordinance Regarding the Healthy Development of Youths", which has been hitting queer (specifically BL) manga hard. The Bill seeks to aid the development of the Japanese youth by keeping them away from media that can hurt their growth, just so happens that content tends to be queer. That content is then given their highest possible age rating and they must be sold in special sections of store than basically sell only sexually explicit materials. Yet, Ranma seemingly has escaped the purview of the Bill's wrath. It will be interesting to see how and what happens to the series with it's new found popularity. It's sad to think about how a series from the 80s may be too progressive for the modern age. By the way, I got that Onnagata info from a free thesis paper called "LESBIANS AND TRANSGENDERS IN JAPANESE MEDIA" by Regina Caldart. I gave it a quick read and I'm sure you'd enjoy it! Once again amazing video, don't listen to people that are putting you down, you're awesome! I always learn something new when I watch your stuff lol.

Such a basic list 😭 I appreciate the effort though

For best abridged it’s definitely between dbza saoa and yugioh abridged they just have so many years of great content but hell I’m leaning towards this being the best one

Kaguya was written as a physical manifestation of the cycle of hatred within the Shinobi system. As much as people wanna deny that, it was because Madara was too powerful or so they could write Boruto. The reality is her purpose in the story was to serve as the most pure representation of everything wrong in the Shinobi world. She is effectively just the living form of conflict itself.

I'll defend the Kakuzu fight as written that way out of necessity. Naruto needed to defeat an enemy like Sasuke had, to walk in Sasuke's shoes. I would argue the lack of nuance we get to Kakuzu is because Naruto never bothers to look at him as more than an obstacle.

Ranma ½ was the first anime I discovered on the Internet. Back when 4kids was chopping up One Piece like a 2$ steak, I had a feeling that there were episodes I was missing. And when I went looking, I found the English subtitled version of One Piece, but also Ranma. And while I'm not trans myself, it really helped me start defining what "masculinity" means to me, in a world that is otherwise full of toxic male role-models.

Wanted to be hokage so the village would acknowledge him 😮....theres ur Y ..ur welcome

While you have a pretty decent list, though we have some major differences, I'm a bit confused as to why Caramel Ribbon Cursetard isn't on the list! Although you did say in the title that you'd only rank your favorites, so I guess this one is last. A shame, Nadeko and Yotsugi are a fun duo!

Plus... he is married to a woman who also dealt with it strongly on her own Manga... and decades together also help growth.

W E M U S T S A V E M Y F A M I L Y !

WE'RE BACK

Hellsing Ultimate Abridged is the best abridged series I've ever seen, but SAO abridged DID improve upon the original series

this hits...

I do like this video but I have to say that I'm not sure what's so confusing about the Level E fan translation at 10:31? It's obvious that it's the POV of a trans man talking about his past loves, and not lesbian erasure... A pretty common trans narrative to be sure. That aside, I really appreciate having some more context for the YYH scene, as Yusuke is one of my favorite characters of all time and as a trans guy it was always kind of cringy to go through that scene. (Me going from "Yusuke is transphobic u_u" to "Yusuke is a transmedicalist?!" is not a change of mind I was expecting to have today. Transmedicalism isn't good, but it's slightly better than the transphobia I've thought that scene was about all these years lol)

very good video! I think you articulated my problems with their friendship!

Sao s1 arc1 was phenomenal. Arc 2 was pretty bad. S2 was very solid, ggo was awsome, and Arc 2 and 3 was amazing. And alicization was awsome. And the ggo spin off was really fun

I'm always very LATE-to-the-party. Never seen SAO, but recently binged SAO abridged and I agree! SAO abridged is amazing!

Did you know that ranma 1/2 is getting a remake!!!

TFS walked so SWE could run. And the world is a better place for the presence of both.

I've recently been binge-watching Ranma 1/2 and I love it so much. The fact that he is more enduring and stronger in boy mode yet faster and more agile in girl mode is interesting to me too. I hear there is a remake or the like in the works for a new Ranma. I'm eager to see how that one is too. To those in the LGBTQ+, we are all different and meant to be so. Be proud of the fact that you are NOT a carbon copy of anyone. There's no mold for you so be different...you are not alone. The Native American tribes had 5 genders before British settlers: Male, Female, Male Two-Souls (guy that is more like a girl), Female Two-Souls (girl that is more like a guy), and trans. Not all tribes practiced this but I am a Male Two-Souls. I'm a bit of both. This isn't a new thing.

Ikemoto was a Moron!

Kawaki should have been a better protagonist & Naruto's genetic child, yes!

I love your POV on Ranma. ❤ - - I’ll tell you my head canon about Ranma (which is probably super different from what Rumiko intended lol). rewatching for the 3rd time now and I have this vibe that Ranma is more his true self when in girl form than when in his original body. He’s able to have ice cream and desserts he doesn’t allow himself to have as a boy, or go ice skating. I think at first he’s in a denial what doesn’t allow him to accept his female form, and it comes from the hyper masculine views his dad ingrained on him. When he starts letting lose from that as a girl he seems to enjoy being in that form. So I think maybe he’s at least gender fluid though in the late 80s/early 90s when this manga was written that wouldn’t have been explored as meaningfully as it would be now (though still today it’s taboo in Japan).

I love the odd romance in the anime but if getting Eiichiro interior motive to play tennis was to get Natsu to like him it would’ve ruined the anime

This tells us that stain isn't a bad person I would like to pay my my respects to him

I love bloom into you, the first time i watched it,i just loved it so much for its beautiful animation and the storyline but now seeing your video which is in itself very beautiful, i have another love for this anime and the meaning it has for others

Very insightful video. Thank you for making this, it has made me come to a conclusion of where my stand-point on romance is. I've never dated anyone except for the occasional 'crushes' that i force upon myself to fit in with people. Though i do find people physically attractive but attraction wise- not so much. I don't yearn for love nor will I ever seek it. I find that the people whom i already have by my side (friends, family, etc.) have a way higher ranking in my life than a romantic partner. Though, I do still enjoy romantic and fluffy shows such as Bloom into you, Cherry magic, and The summer you were there, I've never really desired to feel the same way. One could even say that I relate to Maki more than i relate to Yuu but who knows, aromantic is a spectrum and not everyone's experiences are the same.

This is off topic, but why does words like Homophobia means to hate gay people but the suffix, "Phobia" means to fear something or someone? I never understood that.

Just FYI, that one episode according to the writer is about the actual spirit of the original drowned girl taking overly temporarily while Ranma is comatose. (There’s another episode where one of the cursed girls acts like an animal for a bit after getting hit in the head). So your right to call them a her, it’s just not Ranma, it’s basically a ghost using…well actually that is her body so she didn’t really steal it
