Nice video mate

For me the game was an amazing ending to Kiryus story as the main character Honestly I can’t unhear return of the travelers when I watch the ending

You should watch Inu-Oh (2021)!!!!

Kiyoshi Kurosawa is always disappointing to me. I’m a cinephile and he comes up all the time in film spaces, but I just don’t get it.

uh yea... you just repeated what the comments in the others youtube video its really not your original from your view too bad..

We are Yakuza 6

new dan video dropped, we eating good today!! I kinda wanna play yakuza after seeing your vids

Lelouch is the best anime character because he manages to outsmart entire armies and still finds time to deal with his little sister's school drama.

This was nice. I think I'm gonna try and binge it tonight so this was a lovely spoiler free vid to get me excited beforehand! Please share your thoughts on the reboot too if you've watched it because people are split on which version is better (I'm just going with the earlier one first).

I've played all the main Yakuza games, from the PS2 era on, and I'm very fond of them; however I completely agree, their stories are usually a garbled mess, and it irks me that fans are not willing to recognize the writing is so sub par, even when it damages the series as a whole. The last straw for me were the stories of Gaiden and Infinite Wealth: I won't spoil anything, but I think they were a nostalgia pandering disappointment. Thanks for the video, much appreciated!

10:53 it wasn't a headshot, you can very clearly see where the bullet hits on his shirt when he shoots the gun, about a second before his head falls back.

You know how can you fix it? Only Majima has a bag with weapons. He doesn't show up. Saejima sees this and thinks that its now or never. He grabs anything hard hitting he can find lying around and barges into the ramen shop. Beating everyone in a very brutal manner all by himself. He gets arrested and while he's out Katsuragi shoots everyone lying around. He then proceeds to tell the police and bribe his way into claiming that "Saejima shot everyone". Something along those lines. That way we could've finally touched this gray area of borderline commiting murder but not directcly by your hand (but by your actions).

I still think Yakuza 4 is one of my favorites (Also, I remember that one time when someone posted real gore on r/yakuzagames to prove the twist real)

So many people brush off this twist?! You realize that the only thing that comes to anyone's mind when talking about Y4 is "rubber bullets"? This is THE most overused thing to joke about it in regards for this game.

I think your part on Saejima explains it all. The rubber bullets were there for the game designers to not have a playable 'murderer'. They're extremely afraid of writing a nuanced protagonist that kills in cutscenes.

My friend once said about yakuza "it's like the two teams in charge of side quests and the main story had no idea each other existed"

Honestly, Yakuza 4's story feels like if Vince Russo was a fan of Infernal Affairs.

This feels like a twist one of the Ace Attorney writers would come up with.

Kiryu fought a tiger w his bare hands and u worried bout taking the story seriously

I honestly think the rubber bullets plot twist is pretty well done in regards to the ueno hit, but every other usage of them in the rest of the story is ridiculously stupid

Better than 5's Aizawa

Your not supposed to take yakuza seriously it's satirical

While I can somewhat forgive rubber bullets for the Ueno hit (since I love y4), with Aria there is no way 😭

Saving this gem when I get to Yakuza 4. Only played Yakuza 0 a while back, and loved it immensely.

I just realized that I mispronounced Sugiuchi's name the entire video lol. I don't know why I thought it was Suguichi. EDIT: Another clarification that Katsuragi wasn't planning to wipe out the whole Ueno Seiwa clan, just the ones at the ramen restaurant that he considered competition for his rise to power.

Y4 is like one of those games where they have a lot of really incredible ideas and set pieces, but they just can't get them to make sense and flow together. Like, the intentions are THERE and the heart is THERE but what ties them together is just pathetic. Great video!

Had me hooked to the screen, great vid mandadan

good job!

this is a nice video, but a lot of your problems with the series seem to come from your lack of understanding of certain scenes and context of such. about ten minutes in you talk about the scene that takes place in the past with Eren and Armin. that isnt a metaphor. that literally happened. eren, having the founding titan abilities, is able to manipulate the memories of most eldians (maybe all, i forget) and erased these interactions from their memories as not to allow them to fuck up his plan. just thought I'd let you know, there's definitely some stuff you didn't pick up on and stuff doesn't just come out of nowhere like you think it does.

I've replayed the game since making this video and have changed my mind on Ornstein and Smough, that fight owns.

Sorry these takes are shit...

boooo

Hey, nice Videos! Do you have Discord? Greetings from Germany

One problem, i cant find any free streaming websites

I think Suzaku role in the series is heavily missunderstood. You're supposed to find him annoying, but if he was the main character, you'd root for him. Suzaku is a critique of the flawed main protagonists in other meccha/shonen animes. He's the Shinji from evangelion, the Setsuna from gundam zero etc.. and personally I'd say he's even more akin to Eren in AOT than Lelouch is, which at first might seem like a strange comparison, but AOT was inspired heavily from code geass, and the ending of that show is what would happen if someone "dumber"/"less strategically minded" attempted the same as Lelouch succeded in doing. I think the point of Code Geass, (especially considering the movies like Ressurection) is that human violence is fractally inevitable. This is evident by the antagonists in Ressurection, which was a country relying on weaponsales (aka violence) to thrive. In a poethic way, Lelouch flipped the table in R2 from being the small rebellions of the world, to have the warmongers of the world be the small rebellions. This is a much better feat than for instance Eren Jager, or dr.Manhattan whom had the same plan, but rather equallized the playingfield instead of "winning material"

Coming back to this video, I wanna say ‘cause I didn’t the first time that your analysis is good. I didn’t really articulate issues with some of the side plots, just felt they were weak, so it was nice to see someone put this into words for me. Honestly I think the best comparison for this story is Chainsaw Man, and maybe the fundamental difference is tone. I don’t mind that CSM is a bit sleazy or any other things I might normally criticize, because CSM has a very specific tone. Heavenly Delusion has typical anime comedy moments, while CSM has a more heightened/absurdist world which justifies a lot. The story in general is so over the top that its characters’ reactions may feel muted, but it works somehow. Like, in such a crazy world, how could you actually parse your feelings? Also Denji has an emotional core that’s understandable, even if a lot of the time he’s a shitbag teen boy. You feel that he wants a home and a simple life. Also his character development is exceedingly rare for a shonen, revolving around growing past dependency and realizing that horny as he is, he wants intimacy more than just sex. I’m not even a huge CSM fan, but I was able to write all that praise about it, and could say more. What is there to say about Heavenly Delusion? It has an almost non-existent tone. Kiriko and Maru have goals, but no emotional anchor which makes me care about them reaching those goals. It all just feels half-hearted, such a weird contrast from the beautiful art. Anyway thanks for this video because it’s the only place I’ve seen anyone criticize the anime/manga. I watched it with a friend and felt pressured to enjoy it so this is cathartic to me lol.

I had two main issues with this show: unoriginality and fan service. Nothing in the story felt fresh. It’s not that post-apocalypse or creepy schools can’t still be interesting, it’s that this story didn’t do anything new with those set ups. The school storyline was more interesting but somehow there was never any tension. None of the characters were stand out, though a couple were okay. I didn’t enjoy the Maru and Kiriko plot line at all-very few interesting or unique stories. Every episode is just going to be “they get a clue but it doesn’t lead them where they want.” That would be fine if they were lovable characters in an exciting story but they weren’t. The biggest issue with Kiriko and Maru is the fan service and romance angle. Now, those things aren’t bad by themselves. It makes sense for Maru to have a crush, and I don’t always hate fan service (I think it works in Chainsaw Man because it ties into the story/themes). But it was such a turn off here. Kiriko actually being her younger brother is the only interesting idea the story introduced but it never got explored. The backstory was weird and inhuman. Then the story just becomes “let’s tease Maru with Kiriko naked and make sex jokes.” I didn’t feel a bond between them aside from that really. The story tried for it but they just felt like flat characters-they’re clearly supposed to be cool but that just doesn’t do it for me. This isn’t even a shonen, it’s a seinen, try harder.

I've watched it like 8 times now and watched 4 different reaction videos for the whole show, my gf absolutely hates the show but it's my #1 anime for the politics alone not to mention the music, themes, and drama

The widespread criticisms and overall lower regard for Code Geass is because of a generation gap, the hype, and the mechs. Remember, at its core, anime is made for teens. The fanbase is largely young at all times. Code Geass is a mecha anime, which is a hated genre in today's anime landscape. Politics/war/strategy dont fit the modern trend towards fantasy and battle shonen. Older animes are only known to the young fanbase when they have hype. When other young people are gassing it up. It's an 00s anime and feels like one. Very few 'classics' survive this lack of hype. When an anime has a fanbase predominantly made up of 30+ men and women, it loses status.Especially with the dated Clamp artstyle. CG is often compared to two currently beloved animes - which hurts it. Lelouch is often compared to Light from Death Note. The ending was copied, largely, by Attack on Titan. Fans of Death Note and AoT are very critical of Code Geass because they feel attacked. Many of them have never seen CG, despite criticizing it, and proudly state they'd never watch it. These AoT superfans attack anything related to CG on reddit or social media. Often with the same cheap insults of "Code Gayass" and "LeDouche." But that hurts a show. Teens are social. Teens ride hype. Teens rarely think for themselves. So when they see a lot of this, they jump on the bandwagon.

I'm looking forward to your content 👍👍

i love you danny :)

i like everyyone but nina and kallren ruins the show

I've watched Code Geass atleast 50+ times at this point since its release and definitely have to agree that it's not a show you can find yourself getting bored of. I have to say after letting the show marinate for so long in my mind since its release my favorite thing about the show has transcended from the ending of the show to being the continuation of it in the 2019 movie (purposefully not saying the title). Don't get me wrong the ending is great and I'm not trying to say that a dead cow needs to be milked, but my god have I been craving for even something as simple as a 12 ep anime series involving Lelouch and C.C. from the movie timeline hunting down geass fragments, and expanding more on Geass lore as a whole which has so much potential for making the series continue on for a long time. It just sounds so absolutely interesting and will fix the biggest flaw of the show, which is the fact Geass wasn't able to be expanded upon (thanks sunrise for giving them no budget). Plus who doesn't want to see more of the ultimate power couple and their teasing antics. 😂

i think if you view the cat taking the helmet from lelouch and the hat episode on ther eown they do seem very misplaced however if you put it in the theme of things they can give you goosebumps even, the cat episode was designed to show the sides of lelouch aswell as create a bond for the viewer to see between lelouch and suzakue to later destroy it and make it that much more important to you aswell as the more surface level stuff in showing how lelouch has to hide his identity. the hat episode i didnt know even made people upset i think its similar to the helmet episode . however because in season 2 shirley kinda took a back seat they had to make sure she was still likeable and can make her be able to make the viewer happy and hope lelouch will end up with herputting her very quickly to the level of c.c. and kallen so they can make her death hurt the viewer like it hurt lelouch. it made the viewer and lelouch experience the feeling of loosing kallen/c.c. without taking those important charaters from the plot.

0:19 I think Code Geass is the only show That has no flaws for me what so ever. 1:34 ig by the clip u put in while timing it to u saying some of his solutions were silly, you’re trying to say him geassing himself was bad idea, what I don’t get is, how is that a bad idea? Genuinely how, if anything it was one of the smartest and over the top tactics by Lelouch in a very pressured moment. 5:10 I think not liking a what u call “silly episodes” like cat chasing or hat stealing, is a terrible criticism bc like you admit, cg does a great job at balancing tone shift of the narrative with a sense of realism in dynamic contrast between japan and Britainnian life styles but you also think it doesn’t always do a well job therefore the criticism is valid. Completely disagree with the idea that the tone balance of Cg not being perfect as it in reality has no flaws within them because even the cat chasing ep which the entire event of chasing the cat lasts only 8 mins on screen max while it also is allowing us to digest the foreshadowing of how Lelouch and suzakus relationship in school where they arent against each other and working together is shown and more. This sort of criticism is irrelevant in other shows that have much more goofy scenes in them such as one piece, gintama, atla, monogatori, and in cases with death note which is shorter than CG and cant afford to waste time with “silly” moments still does it and instead of complaining about it, fans always praise it and say they wish they had more of it. So i think its bias to complain about CG tone shift and balance of the narrative when CG does it the best in a most perfect sense of realism involving it while also still adding on to the narrative without seeming as a filler. 7:00 How on earth is the final episode of mao arc the worst episode in the show when it literally gives in sight to suzakus psyche and lets us understand his cognitive dissonance. 7:26 the explanation of maos survival makes perfect sense and is theoretically smart via the fact that in policeman mindset, when they are shooting a target it is in the intent of neutralizing them, not killing them. When Lelouch commanded them to shoot mao, the command of “shoot” regarded to them as neutralizing rather than homocide because thats how the policeman mind works and thats how they’re trained to shoot in protocol and it also explains maos wounds and where he was shot, if you see the episodes 15 and 16 you see the wounds match up on all nonfatal areas of the body such as limbs, it also makes sense for both Lelouch’s character to simply tell them to shoot mao rather than kill because Lelouch was in such rush to save CC that he possibly didnt overthink the commands instructions and result. Also you’re forgetting mao mentioned how he was treated by Britannian medical technology even so, I hope people realize the time skip between eps 15-16 isnt one day thing. 7:45 how is the resolution dumb? 8:05 what questions does Lelouch being able to use Geass on himself of mirror reflection looking directly at his eye balls bring up about the Geass? “None of which the show will elaborate on”, again what? Why would the show need to elaborate on how Lelouch literally uses the geass on himself? It’s literally shown how and I don’t think we need to be spoon fed with dialogue on it because if you watched CG at least more than once you can sorta get the idea of show don’t tell style of writing rather than spoon feeding. So how is this episode not meant to exist or is a mess? 9:11 firstly, it wasn’t accidental that the command happened and it wasn’t even Lelouch that gave a command, what happened was that Lelouch was giving an extreme hypothetical example to euphy to emphasize how serious he was about having such ability and as he gave that hypothetical, the Geass with the mind and will of its own used it to activate itself as form of command to euphy rather than Lelouch doing it out of his will. The reason why his Geass essentially betrayed him is because of the fact that Lelouch technically betrayed his Geass since Lelouch was betraying the vow and mindset he had when he first gained Geass in use, and thus this moment was not a contrivance or convenience. 9:35 Lelouch never gave a joke, again he was giving an extreme hypothetical to emphasize his SERIOUSNESS about his ability to his new ally (euphy) so its not out of character at all

I don’t like nina I don’t hate Suzaku just find him annoying C2 is best girl in series to me Cat + date ep can be skipped with no consequence to missed story. 16 with maou wasn’t great but it set up two arcs in the story. Idk what questions would pop up from 16 and lelouch geass on himself The Euphemia part from what I see is the make or break for most people on whether they like the series or not. Even though most series have major contrivances to keep the story going. S2 Part 1 was good imo however probably wasn’t interesting to most people. Sets up the divide within the black knights, Lelouch not being perfect, revival of the Black knights, answered questions after confusing start, sets up most of S2 with one character alone. Of course part 2 jumps right into it and no real indication happens before shit hits the fan and everything gets put into motion.

It's my third favorite anime and I have seen it literally hundreds of times through now. Is it perfect? Almost. Do I think everyone should watch it? Absolutely

i might have to give it another watch

Randomly got this is my recommended, nice list! The stretches in AoT are just great. Perfect Game -> Hero -> Midnight Sun & Two Brothers -> Memories of the Future -> From You, 2000 Years Ago are just unbeatable.

I discovered this anime, and thought it's the best thing I have seen for a while, but then ... well, to make it short: too perverted. The whole nee-san thing is creeping me out. Young boys being in love with older girls is fine, but this is next level, when the girl is in fact a boy, and that said boy is in the body of the (again) older nee-san he was in love with, and some autoerotic shit is going on. I have seen some people making this about transsexuality ... really? Creepy and disturbing. I'm open regarding erotic content, but this made me very uncomfortable. I came back three times to watch this series, had to give up at the end when the children in the facility started to talk about sexual shit. Kudos to the creators, though, for making this so creepy, I felt like my nails were rolling up. I have no idea what's the purpose of this series. I dislike every character. I agree with you, that none of them has something interesting going on somehow. I just can't get invested for some reason. I wanted to start my 4th attempt to watch this, then I thought I would look on youtube if I'm the only one who hates this.
