I don’t think Ichise died at the end. It’s arguable that he later died from his injuries but he was still conscious and his wound was in a non-lethal area.
No thank you 😊
Great analysis, thanks 👍
I loved how texhnolyze is sometimes so dream like and other times so raw and real.
Great video explains the dynamic between there ideology 👍

Nailed the vitriolic bite to Dedan
Thanks.
The fact that only kishibe and himeno knew that makima was a piece of shit in part one...is something that never gets talked about. She was trying to warn them to leave but they didn't listen and paid for it.... severely.
For some reason it puts me in mind that the writer of the series had read the book"The Outsider", think was a influence for Onishi
I think what it was all they sequestered everyone that had "deviant genes" underground violence, aggression etc and the people on they didn't realize they were needed for survival. So they doomed the human race.
Most depressing Anime I’ve ever seen but for some strange reason I wanted to finish the whole show like it kept me interested in the next episode no matter how horrible the atmosphere & depressing it was
Makishima was such a philosophical character. I really feel that he is the greatest anime villain. Honestly he changed the heroes in a better way and his final monologue where he was thinking about how much the society has deterioated and he was bored with such reality felt kinda relatable. I think our future is heading towards it due to AI and other high technologies and how the normal public is exploiting it.
this is such an amazing video. how does it not have more views? holy shit. im glad i got this in my recommended.
"Yoshi's art is death. He's about to paint his masterpiece."
I also think the separation of good and evil is a strong point here.. both sides have dissolved without the other.. a good commentary on why our world continues to progress with both.. the over-sterilization or overly destructive paths are a sure fire way to end our reality. The natural balance is necessary for life to continue in this reality.
Lady Guanyin, the namesake for Netero's ability, is the bodhisattva of compassion and mercy. Her purpose is to protect and guide others towards the path of enlightenment.
But what psycho pass does not delve into how one pleasure system is superior to another. Imagine a world full of sadists, what would happen ? Even if a modern industrial society could emerge, what if the mightiest always abuses people ? It would put the abused into a state of pain in which they can’t be productive which means less entertainment for our higher faculty, the cognitive aspect of our being. The superior character is not to be found in a vacuum because there is no good character in itself but the good character is to be found with the characters effect on society and the cognitive aspect and societies effect on character and cognition. That’s why I dislike most criminals because they are just worms character wise.
Underrated take 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
A woman who was dead inside making a contract with a ghost devil. A ghost who cannot see but uses fear to go through the world. The same way Himeno was guided by her fear... Yet she was self aware of it all. The same ghost that hesitanted to kill her but gave in to her request with a regretful sigh. Letting her use all of its power in exchange for her life. A life she was trying to use to help her family and aki. A life that in the end... Meant nothing ...
Texhnolyze put me in a life crisis that I can’t get out of to this day
You describe the show's atmosphere perfectly.
Shinya killing shogo made the series gone down bad shogo should’ve lived.
OMG this is hilarious.
Awesome work.
This is incredible.

Great video! Himeno was a brilliant person yet also quite flawed & the way Fujimoto weaves those qualities together really invests you into the character (like his other ones too). Just great stuff.
You’re back!!! Himeno really comes off as eccentric but her ideals come from others which gets brought up later on in the story. The way that Fujimoto ties a certain theme across characters that still resonates to where the manga is in Part 2 is masterful. As someone that Denji recognized as his first friend, she does a great job to kicking the series into high gear post mortem.
Holy frick, I was looking for someone to explain Netero's character, and I struck gold with this video. You have cemented Netero as one of my favorite characters in fiction with your simple yet deep explanation of Netero. Great work!
Finally sat down and watched it, damn it's gotta be the bleakest anime I've ever seen
This is a well thought out analysis, definitely got something out of that. There's other things about Texhnolyze that deserve to be explored in addition to this, such as Ran being revealed as "the voice of the city", or the whole story of why and how the founders of Lux were sent/came underground... A lot to think about! Cheers dude
"I think Texhnolyze is an important work because it's *against* nihilism." I think I see the point you're trying to make here, but because of the wording I'll have to maybe disagree with this. Texhnolyze is about how humanity can choose meaning and what's important to them in spite of the undeniable emptiness of this ultimately meaningless existence, and that it's simply your choice to embrace the fact that the principals which we live by, the pillars that support the foundations of our beliefs are subjective. That objectively there is no meaning in this universe, but that doesn't mean we can't find happiness while embracing this reality in our minds. Let me explain. The characters of Texhnolyze all strive towards their ideals and dreams for the future. Yoshii is a standout example of a character who was so driven by his goals that he even told Ran, a literal oracle, not to tell him how he'd die. He wanted to live by his pursuits and beliefs, and despite dying without fulfilling his goals, he goes out with a smile. Ichise is another standout, and someone who I'd say is the other side of the coin. He is someone without a goal, no real ideal to believe in, he doesn't contemplate the meaning of life the way Yoshii does, and he doesn't actively hurt people if they haven't already hurt him first. His goal is primordial: wanting to live and not be killed. But he finds something to cling onto. For Yoshii it was this idea of progress and igniting a fire within Lux by kick-starting an all out war. But Ichise has always chosen something less high minded and more personal: his loved ones and the people he cares for. The memory of his mother (he clings to her cells and is devastated when he finds out that Doc threw them away), Onishi for giving him structure and treating him like a human being, and Ran for saving him from the sewers and showing him kindness. By the end of his life he is alone, but sees a projection of a flower, one that reminds him of Ran, someone who he became strongly bonded to. It's just a projection, however, and he ultimately dies; but he goes out with a smile. He reaches oblivion, and the memory of his time with Ran has no meaning in an objective sense as he still would have died with or without it, but he ultimately finds peace because of the comfort it brings to him. This flower, this projection, is the whole point of the story: that what we feel, what we believe, has no objective meaning, but it still brings us joy, makes us capable of doing impossible things that shape the lives of ourselves and those around us. Yoshii and Ichise have seen the meaninglessness of this world and they managed to cling to something they believed in. Ideals might not be real in a tangible sense, and everybody dies in the end, but our feelings are real, our beliefs and what we project onto the world is what shapes our very lives and is what makes it worth living. So Texhnolyze is absolutely about Nihilism, but it isn't about giving up because of it. Texhnolyze is both a warning against those who give up too easily, and a declaration of defiance against the void we were born in. What we feel, what we project, that's what matters. Ran and Ichise's relationship was a rare one, one that was located in a city where relationships between husband and wife, father and son, for examples, were twisted and disturbing. But Ran and Ichise had a familial bond between them that wanted to embrace the good that the other could share unselfishly and without a secret desire to stab the other in the back, and in this type of setting? That kind of love was sorely needed. And that's why it meant something, despite everything.
Excellent analysis
Good analysis. Something I’ve noticed about the many Texhnolyze analyses on UA-cam is that they distill and analyze the show on a philosophical basis. That’s why nihilism gets so shoehorned into every conversation and it basically boils down to another show with a very Nietzchean "how shall we derive our own meaning and not fall to nihilism" conclusion. I think it’s more interesting to view it as a critical transhumanist story of human evolution and technological integration. Where the individual human condition, relationships, and social/power structures are traditionally what gave humans meaning and drove our continued evolution. At some point this was hijacked by technological development in an attempt to avoid hardship and gain a competitive edge. But with technology, there comes a critical point where we erode what it means to be human and more generally a biological organism. We stop evolving and stagnate. We lose all drive and meaning. Whether it's by creation of a post-scarcity society through automation and bureaucracy (the surface world) or where we become subservient to the capabilities of our technology (Kanno's war in Lux), both of these result in the slow death of humanity. I look at the raffia flower as a symbol of harmonious existence with technology and that there is a balance that can be reached.
@@twisted.mentat757 I agree
i think both answers are correct, it's the way you personally view it
not sure about that buddy, i've seen an interview by the creator and he mentioned he designed ichise as what he himself thought a "true hero" might be, and in the show, its a character (ichise) who has arguably no meaning, who only fights for meaningless reasons at the beginning of the show, and mostly throughout it as well. Ichise is a prize fighter who fights for "money," which is quickly revealed in texhnolyze as functionally worthless as there are defined upper and lower classes, and then "loyalty" which also holds no value in texhnolyze's setting... So a person with no life, who fights for no reason, and is almost treated like a stray dog for the entirety of the first half and like a lapdog in the second half of the show is the most heroic of all the members of the cast. You are right that the show is designed in a way, as you put it, frames ichise and yoshii as "two sides of the same coin," although in all objective senses, the character of yoshii is attacked and castigated by the author. Most of the main characters SHARE THE SAME destiny, they die alone. how each one reacts to this revelation is explored heavily in texhnolyze, perhaps being the main focus of the show itself. Yoshii and Ichise are different in two special ways. Their radically different origins and their reaction to Ran, who is a metaphor for a manifest destiny, that humanity will conquer itself. that humanity will transcend, but at what cost? Yoshi doesnt want to hear that he will die alone, he doesnt want to believe it and supposedly fights against that notion as he is laying dying with a smile. Ichise heard the prophecy about him causing great violence, ruin to Lux and dying alone, to which he laments and says he refuses. This is important because Ichise is framed as the "hero." since Yoshi starts as a pseudo-nietzschean ubermensch minded character this makes sense for him, but through his decisions and the situations he finds himself involved in, we see he is revealed to be nothing more than an opportunist, a vulture in a time of chaos and war. yoshii is someone who started out with a "normal, boring, average" job/existence and was normally adjusted before going to Lux in search of a "crusade" where he ironically ends up dying all alone, only able to give a self satisfied smile where he thinks he alone is different. edit, while at the same time, sharing the same fate/destiny as the other ideological stand-in characters... just for clarity. ichise on the other hand, had no formative ties, no background to recall, no reason to believe in anything, who is pretty much only used by others, develops "positive" relationships with others on his own accord. in texhnolyze, the "hero" fights for almost no discernable reason at all. just a vague feeling that this is what should be done. He doesn't' need a reason to try and do the right or wrong thing, he doesnt even really have a narrative, he's just a unwilling participant of experiments and fights... even this person doesn't want to be bad... he hears he will cause big problems and he is saddened by it, he goes through them, he is equally saddened and frustrated by it all. yet he keeps going on an uncertain path to a certainly terrible end. He also dies alone, but reminiscing about others, the few fleeting moments he was granted in life, since he promised Ran he wouldn't end up the way she says- a monster like yoshii- even after brutally murdering Kano with his own hands... Kano, who has strikingly similar philosophical views to a character like Yoshi, but even more of a extremeist/purist. Not a vulture, but one half of a twin headed black eagle, and all the symbology that comes with that. And that is how Ichise wins against destiny... by fighting and finding change within himself, not others, not Ran, not the city of Lux, not the "upper world" but by confronting himself and his own ideology and destiny, which started and ended as Nothing. If nihilism is the notion that everything is meaningless, what does it say when even the MOST meaningless person in the WHOLE world (Ichise), finds his own meaning within it all? That is a strong anti-nihilism message, and i agree with the video creator, one of the strongest in all forms of media. sorry for the wall of text.
Finished this last night. Embodiment of bitter sweet. The vagueness allows you to fill in the blanks in your head, or to rewatch it to compare and contast. There's a handful of very important "scenes" that only spand a few seconds, and if you're not fully engaged you will miss them even as you're watching. Episodes 1-5 are brutally slow, 6-17 are normal paced, and 18-22 are where a lot of it all starts to make sense. The music and artwork in the final stretch when they get to the village on the hill already sets the tone of what's to come before you acknowledge what's going to happen, at least for me it did. Its hard to call this good or bad, they're both subjeive. If you want to watch something to be visually entertained then this is certainly not for you. If you want to watch something that has you questioning every scene and keeps you searching for the answer, this is likely what you're looking for. Its only as good as you allow it to be.
Perfectly said, I almost didn't get into it because I was scrolling on my phone, literally just finished it now didn't even realise the doc killed herself, what a show
I've just finished it i can't even rate it for it's complexity
Yo man, I don't know if you ever get this. But you sound a lot like Mike pondsmith (the creator of cyberpunk)
Never heard that one before, but thank you!
one thing i love about makishima that he never wantedv to die actually.......one of the saddest death in anime history
One of the only antagonists who sells merch
Spamton has so much creepy GOAT energy
Awesome voice man
this is one of those shows where I respect what it does well but didn't enjoy it at all. It tells a great story but not caring if the audience enjoys it isn't a virtue and overall makes it a far lesser experience. I don't have a problem with slow pacing as anime like monster have slow pacing but are told masterfully as their pacing is slow, but they don't waste a second of their time to develop their themes and characters while in texhnolyze it feels very much like it intentionally wastes your time mainly with the first third. The five or so episodes where the show has the breathing and panting arc really just felt like they were attempting to pretentiously make the show seem as if it were artistic and sophisticated by barely having any dialogue or significant plot progression. It's a shame as for the rest of the show it is great, but they waste so much time that by that point it's hard to care nearly as much as I would have otherwise
I disagree, the show takes its time to let the viewer grasp what's going on but nothing that is in the first third is a filler, stuff that will have an impact at the end starts as early as episode 3, for instance, the shots of the people doing nothing when Yoshii arrives are pointing to him seeing what happened in the surface is now happening in Lux, but it doesn't tell you directly. The show is asking you to pay attention so it makes sense in later episodes. Just like the collapse of civilization, it happens painfully slow and with small warnings that people ignore or aren't aware of them. As for the artistry, the surface is presented like that because is an exaggeration and idealization of what people believe a perfect world would look like (sunny, lots of nature, order, no violence, no imperfection) while being empty and dead in life. Personally, I believe you have to rewatch it to see what was really going on the background
@@AlSeg as I stated I feel the writing is superb and that example highlights it but on an initial viewing nothing in the first third will make much sense or be very compelling to view and it isn’t until later in the series you actually grasp what’s happening. The first third isn’t filler it just feels as if it’s wasting the viewer’s time by being as slow as possible. I respect the show for what it is but for me it was an utterly miserable experience because it felt like such a slog. In a second viewing I would probably enjoy it much more and plan on doing it one day but my initial viewing just was not enjoyable at all
@@plugshirt1762I guess it just depends on how you digest media. If you aren’t really into analyzing a scene based on a small amount of information and depend on dialogue to be interested then I 100 percent agree this show would be miserable to get through. I don’t think saying it wastes the viewers time is fair though. The slow moments are 100 percent intentional and are why the atmosphere matches the themes so well. If it wasn’t slowly paced in the first episodes, the atmosphere would not be nearly as good as it was, so because of that I feel that these scenes are justified and don’t waste the viewers time. I do agree though that the panting can be a little much in the first few episodes, they probably could have toned that down a little.
I agree. Also, I just didn't find the characters likable. That's why I gave up and watched this recap lol
@@mar25947 lol I wish I did that but I’m so stubborn that once I started I had to finish and it took me literal weeks because I couldn’t stomach more than an episode or two at a time.
great video ! aside from the technical content like your voiceover and the footage you chose being spot on as always, i think the content was great. batman has always been associated with his impressive rogue’s gallery and riddler was always one of my personal favorites.
