How Bleach Broke the Villain Redemption Trope
Aizen, Madara, Doflamingo, Hisoka. I could go on for days about the countless iconic villains featured in shonen anime, but when it comes to the cool factor, Bleach's Aizen has everyone beat by a country mile. What is it about Aizen that makes him so compelling to everyone, to the point where when someone mentions anime and villain in the same sentence, most people think of Aizen? Naruto, One Piece, Hunter x Hunter, and Jujutsu Kaisen have GREAT villains, but why does Aizen's name carry so much weight? In this video, I explore the magic behind Aizen and how him shifting from main villain to antagonistic force lurking in the background was a genius decision by Kubo, as it allowed Aizen to maintain his terrifying presence while also helping the main characters achieve their goals when he's absolutely needed to. It speaks volumes about how well Bleach is written for such a villain to exist in it, even when he isn't the main big bad in the TYBW arc.
Thanks so much for watching this video! If you enjoyed it, feel free to like & subscribe! Have a wonderful day :)

When Tonal Whiplash Works in Anime
Переглядів 9 тис.21 день тому
Anime like Chainsaw Man, Gintama, Madoka Magica, and now Dandadan are known for how they're able to switch moods and tone at the drop of a dime no matter any situation.They keep watchers on the edge of their seat, ready to have their emotions toyed with at any given moment. Although tonal whiplash is present in all sorts of anime, I was truly reminded of how powerful of a tool it is when watchi...
Revisiting Parasyte 10 Years Later

When I first started watching Parasyte, I wasn't expecting to leave it with a profound message in mind that made me question the meaning of being human. Parasyte's an anime that's been discussed in the anime community for well over a decade now and that's for good reason. Despite coming out in 2014, Parasyte still looks fantastic thanks to the courtesy of Madhouse and the subjects it touches on...

As My Hero Academia and Jujutsu Kaisen come to a conclusion, Weekly Shonen Jump finds themselves in quite the sticky situation.

Demon Slayer is Suffering From Success.
Переглядів 52 тис.4 місяці тому
Demon Slayer, the biggest shonen anime in Japan from the past 10 years, has been slowly, but surely progressing its story through multiple seasons. In an effort to stretch Demon Slayer out, a lot of padding has been added to various arcs to increase run time. Demon Slayer Season 3, which revolved around the Swordsmith Village, was notorious for doing this. When I heard Demon Slayer Season 4 was...

Kaiju No. 8 is Wonderfully Stuck in the Past

Kaiju No. 8 is pretty great and it's partly because of that good old shonen feel it retains while somehow feeling modern at the same time. Normally something like this would be a negative for a modern shonen anime, but Kaiju No. 8 has somehow turned it into a strength. Really, really fun show.

    Aizen can respect strength, but he will not fall victim to anyone else’s nor shall he bow to any “Higher Power”. That is the precipice of his character.

  • @supercoolmaniajon265
    @supercoolmaniajon265 2 години тому

    Don't let this distract you from the fact that we've never seen him use bankai. Kyoka Suigetsu is so busted, his reatsu and hado skill so impressively high, that I imagine he doesn't need it.

    Aizen never truly lost to this day. The most they could do was seal him. By the end of Bleach, lot of his goals ended up being achieved anyway. More then I can about for example Madara who died twice and really nothing to show for it besides be fodder to final villain while Aizen fooled the final villain.

  • @KiuhKobold
    @KiuhKobold 4 години тому

    Keeping his composed, if outright disrespectful, tone for most of all scenes he's been on (I only remember Aizen getting mad during his sealing), being so many steps ahead he basically had finished the race, bodying protagonists left and right, getting STRONGER while sitting on a chair custom-made to restrain him, and even in the middle of a war flat out refusing to take any sides that weren't his. Aizen is just a special kind of villain, so deadset on his goal that one can't help but to admire and fear him. Love a villain like that.

And yes hoping to see more of him in if we get hellverse

    Casual anime viewer here, but growing. First, how ironic that they are Creepy Nuts since 2013 yet create the opening for this show’s season one? I don’t know the source manga, but considering a central plot point, this just has to be a happy coincidence! But I walked through the living room with DanDaDan jamming on my iPad and moving to the groove. This draws looks from the wife of the 57yo man whose only reply was. “Anime opening theme music.” But later I commented to her that I heard a lot of different influences in the music, including western hip hop, but that it wasn’t just rip off. In other words, even an old man in East Texas can get infected by their beats. It was cool to hear about their backgrounds, sort of backing up my ignorant assertions.

    Personally the craziest thing for me is that I don't even like hip hop or rap music, like in general full stop. The songs I did like that had rapping elements in it I always slowly moved away from because the "magic" was gone and the rapping part would just piss me off more. Then... here comes Mashle and Dandadan. Idk what it is, but I actually like these songs. Admittedly I like the Dandadan song a LOT more, even have it on my "Liked Videos" list which I use as playlist in general. The song just... makes sense to the ear. I also just love the melodic elements to it and how it doesn't take itself serious, yet being very creative. Idk man. I wonder if that's also big part of their worldwide success, because people who might not like the genre that much still like the song. I definitely talked about this with a friend and at least he has similar thoughts. Kinda very limited samples I know lol. I wish them all the success in the world man. They brought some real needed creativity to the anime world. (Which after writing also occurred to me that this could also be part of the success, because my fucking god I'm so tired of hearing the same shit in anime openings.)
