- WORKING TITLE AND THUMBNAIL UGUUUU
This is something I desperately wanted to make and yeah, if you couldn't tell, is also my first time really writing something like it and editing. I am not sure I did a good job as it was actually quite hard depicting how much of a good series it was but I urge you all if you haven't watched it already, to please do.
I know its quite serious so this is new for meeeeee
And if you hate it, at least my parents liked it.

That was way more emotion than i was expecting.
*like*
Serious tone videos are appreciated here
Syd keeps climbing the IRL waifu list
ha
*Eternal Suffering* she's actually in my top tier rank
same, now i need to find a way to get this gigguk guy out of the picture...
gigguk is my maximum strike ZONE
"I know serious videos aren't what most of you want."
Not true, keep on like you have this year and make the videos *you* want to make not just the ones you expect us to want. Much less stressful and we might surprise you.
Bokurano is more of a character study than a battle mecha anime
aditya saran I just commented the same thing. Totally agree.
Honestly, most mecha anime are less about the mecha and more about the stories, characters and situations.
Nge is also like this you should watch it.
Agree.
Same for Neon Genesis Evangelion. The last 2 episodes where like a Therapy Session for Shinji and the other main characters.
You did a great job, Syd. This video made me feel melancholy, and that's the way I think it should be. I'm going to go watch Bokurano right now.
Bokurano got me so hard as a middle schooler. I went from Gurren Lagan to something almost the complete opposite of it 😂
It's been a long time since this show was brought up. While I haven't initially watched it, I'm looking to fix that asap.
and no, your closing statement didn't make me tear up or anything!
Aaah! I'm so happy seing someone watching and talking about this anime like that
This anime breaks my heart but give me also so much; it's really one of my favourite ones
I have seen it two years ago and now that I watched this video, I feel my heart melting - and I was about to cry
I love so much how you talked about Bokurano, thank you
(sorry for my English, I'm French)
Just to let you know miss snaps you might also want to read the manga. Apparently the directors hated the original ending and ask if he can change it.
Also great video👌
Busted musket Productions miss snaps wtfdd
I got into the anime first but I recommend the manga over the anime 1000%. The anime is comparatively watered down.
I'll definitely read the manga its on my list
Love this video Syd. I really like the style and what you had to say. Please continue to make more like this. But love your videos no matter What!
If you wanted to show Gigguk that you could make a Gigguk style video better than him, you've done it! Congratulations for your second best video to date, though I think the outro was a little bit abrupt, maybe you could have let the feeling sink a few more seconds
yeah i agree ending was too quick
Loved it so much! I'm so excited to see this anime. You're doing great :)
Excellent video! I enjoy how branching out to do something different to your past videos. I’ll give this anime a try, thanks to you. Keep up the tremendous work!
You have such a soothing voice. Just found your videos, and I love them. Subscribed :) xx
This was an amazing video! I even got a little choked up at the end because of the anime's message and how powerfully it affected you.
I love this video. Definitely one of the strongest recommendations I have seen someone give their audience. Very well made and writen.
Damn Syd you shocked me you hooked me in w/ the anime im aboutta cook up some food and binge watch
very nice video syd, you manage it amazingly to capture the beauty of your own nostalgia and memory of this anime. I seriously felt how important this anime is to you. the only critique that i would have is that the audio of your voice is too quiet compared to the background music. keep up the good work. :)
Wow I must say this is very well written. Your words moved me too tears. I will be checking this out because of your video. 10 out of 10.
Goodness you made me cry.
This is an amazing video, you should be proud of making it.
First serious video I've ever seen you do and I have to applaud you, it was very moving. Nice job here, that was so touching I really felt the sincerity in your tone.
Idk Syd but i think alot of people would like videos like this every now and then. Tbh when people make videos like this to me it makes a very strong impression of not just the topic but you yourself as a person. Its the same reason I like to watch gigguk, i like the funny vids but a serious one every now and then is refreshing to say the least. Also I love your Misato Voice Over o/ ty for doing it right.
Excellently done! I love that you're delving into analysis content. Personally I thought you did great with this! I'd love to see more content like this from you. I had never heard of this series, so I thank you for sharing this. It seems like my type of anime! Off to marathon!
^-^7
Break Blade is the one that got me into mecha. It was so good that i couldn't stop looking for more after i was done.
Nice work! I'd love to see more videos like this
Eureka Seven was the anime that got me into mecha. I literally hated mecha so much... But E7 ... It changed everything.
The OST, the feels. E7 became my #1 anime of all time.
Bokurano is my all-time favorite show and i'm so glad to hear it talked about! This video put a lot of my thoughts into words in ways I don't know how to explain
Yaass, will watch. More vids like these would be great!
You just got a sub. Good job you made me frikin cry.
Ooooo, I never knew that you uploaded a discussion video! Anyway, I can't say I'm really into mecha myself, but there are two mech series that I actually like (Code Geass and DarliFranXX) I have considered watching Bokurano since I've heard its another anime like the two I've mentioned where its not so much a mecha, but a drama. Whenever you decide to edit your next discussion video, recommend lowering the music. It was very difficult for me to hear you, so I ended up turning on captions.
Nothing wrong with a serious video...very well written.
I'm gunna check this out, thanks Sydsnap :)
Bokurano is kinda grim, but inspiring at the same time. It's very telling that even if your channel tends to be comedy oriented, you share your thoughts in a serious and even respectful way about this anime. I liked that.
Thanks a lot for your retrospective
Good format keep it up!
I can't believe I watch the anime squad but missed out on your vids, NEVER AGAIN I PLEDGE LOYALTY
Great video! I will definitely check out the show now. Hope this inspired you to watch more mechs anime now :)
Calm, non screaming Sydney is surprisingly soothing and eloquent. I approve. Please share more facets of your personality with us again.
really a lot of emotion put into the video, the editing was the only part that felt a little off, like at the end that the music could fade out with the images but was just abrupt, but that is something that by practicing you will really master it, so just be your better self (like always) and you would notice how you improve over time! :) Sorry for broken english though...
Beautiful, Powerful & Emotional 👏👏
Need I say more.
This was great, you could feel the emotion
I totally had chills the second I saw bokurano...
I Definitely really love this video
Wow that video was really good and now I just want to go and watch that anime
Beautiful piece... thank you.
Great video. Really touching to see your insight on this anime. A tiny critique would be to let the music slowly fade out at the end instead of just cutting it.
I finally decided to watch it after stalling it so much because the trash taste boys keeps talking about it and i finally understand how good this show is. Didn’t expect you to make a review too but wow what a nice review made me rethink about the show all over again. AND YEAH DAICHI BEST BOY HIS DEATH DESTROYED ME THE MOST.
Code Geass changed my preconceived stigma of mecha.
Darling an the Franxxx is a great example of a mecha anime.
So is code Geass.
Knights And Magic.
If you like animes with more swordplay and fighting..
Drifters.
Hellsing - Vampires
Jormungand
Black Lagoon
Ones that use a lot of different races to bring together a story --- Like an excessive amount of them to the point its amazing to see all the different ways they draw them :) --
Overlord
Mush-shi
The Ancient Magus Bride
Where's my gurrrls pretty face this time
Yeah death is touchy subject, but let's make an effort to do something memorable before the lights go out. The manga is a bit way more fleshed out than the show, but each version of an iteration should be appreciated for what it has to offer.
A little preachy but I liked it nice job Syd I would like to see more shows that get you in a rush of excitement
Love you ! You are awesome!
Bokurano is one my favorite anime ever, been like 4 years since i've watched it tho so maybe i should give it a rewatch.
Soukyuu no fafner is another underrated anime, because it's hella depressing but really good. It was released in 2003 and currently airing 3rd season
Well she finally came around. Wished she did before idols put the genre on life support but its the thought that counts
Went onto Crunchyroll while watching this video to see if it's on there. Thanks for the great video I'm gonna check it out
Dude is it just me or does the animation in these characters faces look like they belong on King of the Hill
Loved the vid thanks for introducing me to this awesome premise
You deserve so much more subs
Oh no I'm sad now................damn this hit hard bruh, wtf?
I don’t watch mecha but darling in the franxx is one of my favorite anime’s 😂😂(it’s a mecha too)
This video left me deep in thoughts about how i'm going to use my life from now.
This made me cry
This is a deconstruction anime of the mecha genre. I’m glad you found this. I’ve seen it and feel the same.
This is one of my all time favorite series but I forget all the time that it’s a monster of the week robot show.
Fuck, all the sad memories are coming back
I'm actually really curious that, after watching this (which I always thought more of as a character exploration with a mecha element) did you watch any other mecha anime and which of those you liked or disliked and why. I think that would be a very interesting follow-up video that would be more about exploring a new genre for you vs a deep impact video such as this (which I think you did quite well and would have no problem seeing more syd vidz like this).
Glass reflections pulling through
Sounds like the inspiration behind Darling in the FRANXX (also a mecha).
Great vid! I'll check out Bokurano right now actually, but before I do, I wanted to follow up on you saying something about advice about how to make these videos, and I thought I'd give you my perspective:
First off; great presentation of the synopsis and great analysis despite having to avoid spoilers and such. Thumbs up for that!
Second: Try to keep it as objective as possible. I know you wanna voice your opinion, and that's fine to some extent, but don't overindulge on the good things and only convey those. Are there some bad things? Something to keep in mind while watching it? Anything that the viewer needs to know going into this, you wish you knew before watching?
Third: Nice, short and sweet video all in all - But that ending was brutal, wow. Try to ease it off into a fade out or something, instead of cutting to black and silence. (lul)
Bokurano: When Evangelion Goes Off Its Meds
Bokurano! Excellent, I feel you.
Daichi and Mako deserved so much better, so damn much better, so did Ano. Kanji and Moji(?) are the best boys
This show was what atcually got me into mechas before that the only mecha i could tolerate was guran lagan
00:34 Just needed to say- YEAHhh bokurano, F**K Yeahh... hm, continue
YOU HAVE TO WATCH KNIGHTS AND MAGIC!!! you earned a new sub~
Overall great video my one suggestion is to extend the end with a little more of the ost instead of it ending as soon as you are done speaking.
Mecha anime has/had been traditionally classified into super robot genre (super heroes, vs monster/villanous mechas etc) and Real Robot genre (where mechas are part of military conflict).
To compare to Super Robot genre. In stereotyped RR genre, mechas can break, run out of power, the pilots are as frail as how humans should be, and as a protagonist one may friendly fire a friend, comrade, civilians. The cause that the protagonists are fighting can be questionable. Themes on sci-fi, humanitarian issues, politics, etc rolls around. Occasionally, the "pilots" question why they are even riding that giant mech (no, not just why they are fighting). Guilty pleasure, revenge, anxiety, seeking acceptance, peer pressure, etc. Some mecha designs are intentionally a personification of a character's personality.
These days it maybe harder to categorize mecha anime as SR or RR. The distinction between mecha animes today is like a spectrum.
At further dissection, "mecha" in anime are just medium of specific themes to be communicated and/or just for the sake of satisfying one's thirst for big robots fighting. Sometimes the mechas are symbol (for example) of human ego.
With what I've said,
I have to admit many mecha animes are there just to show off "big robot porn", dull fights, unworthy conflicts, nothing much special, nothing in particular to communicate. When I was a lil kid, all i cared about was big robot porn (like that of a Super Robot kind)
The best mecha anime i saw it called kandam wings its old but it got good stuff
I remember seeing it on Crunchyroll but it's gone atm.
I really enjoyed this anime when it came out.
I'm very happy that Bokurano has changed your mind on the mecha genre. What other ones have you watched and liked?
And you got me into you
That awkward momment when the comic relief (sydsnap). Gets really dark.
well i love GOOD mechas and this one sounds good so i'll look for it!
you should watch eureka 7 or gurren lagann or code geass ooooooor *gasp* gundam seed
At least your parents liked it
A suggestion would be adding the title of Bokurano in the description
at least
Title can be left without it for clickbait reason and views
But not having bokurano in the description is odd since then the viewer has to wait till whenever you say it
And eventually I might wanna come back to remember the name and itd be real quick to just find it in the description
Can someone PLEASE TELL ME HOW TO WRITE THE ANIME SERIES NAME IN ENGLISH SO I CAN LOOK IT UP AND WATCH IT PLEEEEEEEASE
Ok, time to see how Syd handles non-bullshit
I LOVED this anime. More of a character study then anything else in my opinion.
I think most of us like some more serious videos along side the usual funny ones !
The author always like to put his characters in hard situations ,specially kids
Good stuff.
Mecha anime are awesome
Wait, who doesn't want your serious videos?
Mainstream traeeesh?
Do what you FEEL!
this is your best video btw
Hey sydsnap are you okay?
hope you feel good and well...
I'm a huge gundam fan because I used to watch the original series as a kid in Tokyo
Literally just watched neon genesis and man, I don't know why I haven't seen it earlier
Why was ghost in the shell in the intro, I didn’t think it was a Mecha anime
Arkada made it sound like child torture porn so i wasn’t really interested. I guess i need to watch it after all.
how about ass it is for sure not. I highly urge you to watch
Bokurano Hit Me Like 😭.
I cri every time
Same😂
Huh, the manga has an anime... Never would have thought.
