The Tara/Giles Standing/Under Your Spell reprise still moves me to tears
SAME
yeah, that duo is still my favorite part.
SAAAAAAME
Every time
You know you're a Buffy fan when you can't help but sing every single song in Once More with Feeling. Tara lord...I miss her so much. I am so nostalgic now, I miss Buffy so much sometimes I HAVE to rewatch it. Tara meant so much to me. Anyways I enjoyed watching this, thank you for sharing your enthusiasm with us, and thank you for singing along. It's so nice seeing someone do this because I can relate. on many levels.
Hope. i miss spike soooo much. i was crying so much and i still miss him even if he is just a character
When the actor in the show is singing, the reactor is singing, and you are singing along with both, you know the show stands the test of time. And was in fact ahead of its time.
I love knowing that I am not the only buffy weirdo
Thats what my boyfriend calls me, lovingly but yeah :)
Same here!!!!!! LOVE BUFFY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BUFFY IS MY HERO!
I suspect there are a lot of us...
I started to watch Buffy back in the spring 2016, when I was 51 years old. Had some time to spend waiting for Carmilla season 3 and thougt it wold be nice to understand the Buffy references popping up now and then. Since then I have seen it all three times, gone througt the best parts repeatedly, and can sing a few of the songs (am probably a little crazy, but hey, it`s the best show ever).
TheTiDman your not crazy,, I mean I just sing every song in this episode, and sad that I have the soundtrack to this and also the bury show soundtrack,,, so no. Welcome to the buffy world,,, and car mails, what a great show as well, those two main girls in the Camilo series are so good and funny, have you seen almost an adult which has them two in it,, it's funny xx
Not seen almost adults, I`m mostly here for he vampires :)
TheTiDman Have you watched the 5 season Buffy spin off?
@@RLucas3000 Yes. I had to buy the dvd box and bring out my old dvd player to get it done.
This comment is extremely late; however, I have a 28-year-old son and a 21-year-old daughter who grew up watching Buffy with me. Seriously, my daughter was a year old when she first experienced "Once More With Feeling." (The soundtrack has been in my car on either CD or iPod since it came out.) They never seemed "confused" (for lack of a better word) by Tara and Willow. They never questioned why two women were together. I think it had a lot to do with how truthful and multidimensional their relationship was. This and "Family" are my daughter's favorite episodes, and I thought it was so adorable when, at the age of seven, she was watching "Family" with me and said, "Tara's Willow's family because of love. They make me happy like Dawn!" It made me feel a wee bit better about letting my young kids watch a vampire show! Haha!
Both of them have the soundtrack, too. We also have 12 cats, including a Tara and a Willow.
T be fair, I know o don’t know your daughter. BUT she was just a year old. She wouldn’t be able to understand Buffy the character her..
You should check out Passion of the Nerd Buffy episode guides. Very deep and insightful to the morality and deeper meaning behind each episode. he references a book on amazon that is also a very thoughtful analysis of BTVS.
LRenee86 omg I was literally about to comment the exact same thing
Did you guys see, what they did to it with Buffy HD?
ua-cam.com/video/F28XcxHxH6k/v-deo.html
TIL that Dawns line “The hardest thing in this world is to live in it”, was also in the episode “The Gift” as part of Buffy’s letter to Dawn after she sacrifices herself
Other TV shows have tried musical episodes but none can compare to this, the original & best
Current Buffy rewatcher here too. The past 3 months have been a blast :)
Buffy is like good wine. It gets even better with age.
I’m 58 now..I used to play in a symphony orchestra, I dreaded this episode but..when I saw it, I was so..blown..away..! I still remember when I first saw it. Her depression was so apparent in this, I saw it and related to it immediately.
What I loved so much about this episode when it first aired is that it takes the entire concept of dramatic irony and _shreds_ it.
Throughout the season, each character harbors secrets and doubts, which are set up as narrative time bombs...then a demon comes along and makes everyone spill everything, and the characters have to deal with it all at once.
It's so amazing, and I love it. I don't remember the last time I saw a network TV show take such a bold turn.
Ok... just for reference...I am a 56 year old straight man who has been married for 25 years. Natalie, you are one of the most awesome people I have ever seen on UA-cam. Just know, those of us who actually know what love is, we understand. Where ever and with whomever you find true love, you grab hold and hold on like there is tomorrow. TRUST ME, we understand. You knowing all the words to the songs.. just makes you that much more awesome. This is my FAVORITE episode on T.V. EVER.
I just binged all of Buffy for the first time and I absolutely loved it!! I am 20 now but if I had seen it at the time you made this video and I would have been 15 and I would have enjoyed it just as much as I did now! It is definitely one of my favourite tv show musical episode (the other being the Once Upon A Time Musical Episode). I think everything you said describes it perfectly!! And even though the topic throughout this episode is quite dark there is still this beauty about it and the music just makes it 100x better to watch!! And that last chord of the episode is just spine tingling omg!
Also, I loved your reaction though this whole video. The pure joy in your face made me smile so much 😆
I always think it is funny when I try to explain to a non-Buffy watcher that Buffy built pop culture. People don't get it if they haven't watched it and those who have end up stumbling over how to explain how amazing it is. The only person i have found who has been able to articulate my emotions and thoughts around the show perfectly is Passion of The Nerd, you should check his UA-cam out!! He reviews every episode :) thanks for this video :)
I've already checked out his channel! I love him!
As someone who was there from night one as it first aired on tv, I'm right there with you. This show was and is sooooo many things. Always ahead of ahead of it's time. So topical and on point even to this day, 20 years later. And I couldn't agree more with your assessment that many newer shows that have come along since then wouldn't be what they are today without Buffy. There had been moments before Buffy. Brief glimpses and short interactions on certain topics most often avoided. But Buffy was the first show to ever grab a hold of all the topics that really mattered and affected people and shove them in everyone's face...right in prime time on network tv. This show explored domestic violence, emotional abuse, healthy vs unhealthy relationships, bullying, depression, suicide, self discovery, gender inequality, grief, attempted rape and so much more. Everything people had been afraid to build a show around in the past. Do we really think shows like Modern Family would have ever gotten green lit without Buffy proving the audience would be there? This show is why I still worship at the alter of Joss Whedon to this day.
"Life's a show, and we all play a part,
And when the music starts,
We open up our hearts"
In musicals, when a character sings, they have to sing the truth.
I’m a hetero male who was almost 30 when this aired. Still my favourite show of all time.(by a long way) In fact I’m going to start a new rewatch :)
I was almost 13 when Buffy first aired in the UK. I watched it on and off for the first two years and then watched it religously from Seasion 3 I was 20 the year it ended. For those 5 years Buffy was my life. I saw Once More With Feeling as it aired live in the uk, on my own. To this day it is still my favorite episode of Buffy even with almost 15 years since I first saw it... man I feel old!
I actually missed Once More With Feeling when it was on Sky - no idea why I didn't record it - and didn't see it til ages later.
totally react to all the episodes, maybe get a friend who hasnt seen it.
I'd seen a few episodes before it, and there are other episodes I love more, but I think that it was partly this episode (and particularly James Marsters' performance during Spike's song) that really sold me on this show.
20 years of buffy!! wow. I found out about Buffy on the last episode actually. I remember seeing Buffy jump towards the bus and my life changed. I got hooked went crazy looking for the seasons. had my mom looking for the episodes, she ended up buying me all 7 seasons once it came out. This show is beyond amazing. We have so far to go, but we've been so far too and a lot has to do with this show and cast ❤❤
The first ep I watched was also the last one!!
This was adorable. It made me smile to know such a great series was able to go beyond just being great, but also being life changing for you as well. Thank you for sharing.
I was in my late teens/early twenties when I first saw it. (Born 1979). And I keep on going back to it for comfort. And discovering new layers each time.
Do the Buffy rewatch. I'm a first-time viewer of you, but this was a lovely, wonderful, reaction. I adore BUFFY, and it was a delight to see you be so reactive and genuine and share your feelings which I and so many others feel. Thanks for representing.
(I'm old enough that I was not at all young when BUFFY came out and I saw each week new; I hope it's relatively timeless.)
i know this is an older video, but seeing your joy for this episode is so cool
This is late but I’m a teen and this is my favorite show. The characters are timeless
Yes! Buffy is perfect to find at 15.
I watched it when it first aired, I was a year behind them, so I think I was 14 or 15. My best friend and I were (are) obsessed. We would tape the episodes on VHS from cable and watch them over and over and try to catch all the hints around the writing and what the dreams meant and everything. It's such an amazing show. Season six, although so dark, is still my favorite, I didn't realize until later in life just how much it echoed my life at that time... it was confusing, I felt left out and let down by people around me and was so self destructive. It helped me understand what was going on, and that although Buffy and myself are strong, amazing women, we are not immune to feeling terrible or making horrible decisions. Ugh, I can't say enough, but it sounds like you understand ;-)
Oh! And I live in Vancouver, BC, Canada and we have a guy here that organized a showing of OMWF every Halloween as a sing along at a local theater. He is one of the only people in n.america to be aloud to show Buffy to the public. It's so fun :-D
i would say that my top 3 fav episodes are in no order
1. OMWF
2. tabula rasa (the amnesia episode)
3. Dopplegangland (and you all know its beacuse of vamp!willow i mean come on she is soooooooo hot and in willow's words "and a little bit gay")
hush was also a good episode the gentlemen was one of the best villians and the creepiest
1. OMWF / BODY (it is masterpiece but so hard to watch)
1.5 Hush
3. Becoming part 1&2
3.5 Graduation / Innocence / Passion (the point when we felt that Angel cannot be redeemed anymore)
4. Rest of Josh Whedon / other popular best episodes that are not Whedon
Trying to write this list I just remember more and more unbelievable episodes. Also while quality is better in later seasons, season 2 is when our mind got blown away and so objectivity is impossible. It almost feels criminal to do these lists cos those 20 or so best episodes are all so amazing and you appreciate different episodes when you get older and have different perspective.
Just want to point out one thing. Think what this show would be if Xander would be some alfa male or had no chemistry with the cast. Cos he is the only male main character, he allows others to shine and thus he is grounded in more realism, for example he hated Angel/Spike cos they were vampires and thus demons. Ofcourse he was jealous too, but his role is to ground the show into reality. Try to put any other actor in place of Xander. Audience is "manipulated" to root for Buffy+Angel or Buffy+Spike, but in real life that would be horrible. So we need Xander to ground this show to that reality, because without that realism Buffyverse would feel cheesy etc. so please give Xander the credit he deserves. Also, he propably is more important for male audience, he we can relate and through him we can relate to Buffy/Willow and rest of the cast.
No Tabula rasa ar im crying the end :c
I will watch the musical as a standalone episode quite frequently and every single time I watch tabula rasa with it too and I realize that it's not a standalone episode it's the two together LOL they go together.
@@juzujuzu4555 Restless too a real masterpiece !
I was already a fan of Anthony and James' musical abilities before this episode ever aired (I'm kind of old) but Amber Benson was a real revelation. I still remember my jaw dropping when she started singing. I've been a musician since the '80s and she just floored me. Cheers.
cant believe its been 20 years seems just like yesterday i only watched it xxx thank u so much for reacting loved every minute of it #BuffyforForever #Happy20Buffy xxxxx
God you've made me miss this show all over again. I need to do a rewatch too. God also their voices and the style of music in this episode. That dark vs the up tick of music. No musical episode has been able to match this that I've found. Thanks for this one.
I am also a MASSIVE fan of Buffy and watching your enthusiasm for this was just fabulous! you have made my day. Sending you massive hugs and love. xxx
Buffy for life!! Hush, once more with feeling, tabula rasa.. love them! 20yrs omg I was 17!! and obsessed! lol
Gosh I usually love first time reactions to shows but I've got to say it's really special to see someone react to a show they lived and loved and to see them super into it♥️♥️ this was super touching!
I rewatch the series every year! She's amazing!
Considering Buffy aired in 1997 and I was born in 1999, I was raised on Buffy by my parents. I was 4 when it ended, but I still love it today at 21.
20 years since Buffy first aired.... *Rocks in the corner*.
Same!
honestlynatalie It's one of those things that make me remember how damn old i am lol. I was 8 when it first started. Also, i just had a thought, are you revisiting this episode in preparation for the Supergirl-Flash musical episode at all?
@@davidparkes7741 - Try actually BEING in high school when it FIRST aired.
@@chrisrj9871 Haha, touche.
I have also watched this a thousand times because I grew up with this as a teenager and I too was trying to figure out my sexuality. I watch this with my best friend and my husband and I have fallen down the hole of reaction videos to it again. Great seeing this.
Huge thanks for this video Natalie! It's still as relevant today in 2020 as it was back in 2017, and fyi there are fan gatherings where the karaoke version of this is shown on a huge screen and everyone is singing along Not sure if such events are organized here in the Nordics, and especially not now during the pandemic, but I do know that there are several in the US.
Also (perhaps thanks to the pandemic) there have been a recent upswing in young people reacting to Buffy recently so young people still find is as good and relevant as we did back in the day!
As for your question about whether 15 yr olds today would like it, I watched the show for the first time in 2014 when I was 10 and my mam (who had previously watched and enjoyed the show) introduced it to me and I loved it, and it is still one of my favourite shows. Last year, when I was 14, I introduced my friend (who was also 14) to Buffy, and she loved it too. Personally, I feel like BTVS is a timeless classic. No matter what generation you are from, Buffy is and will always be an amazing show.
The Game Detective This makes me so happy!
I discovered "Buffy" when I was a teen (I was born in '93, so I was 4 when it first aired and I'm not even sure it was available in Italy at that time). I was in middle school, I was an outcast and questioning my sexuality. I don't have words to describe what "Buffy" was and is for me and how it changed my life and also my perspective on tv shows. It was a pioneer on many levels.
Thank you for this reaction video and I'd love to watch you react to some other "Buffy" episodes. Sunnydale was home when nothing else was and it's wonderful knowing that it was home for other people like me. I've been singing with you during this video and you made me want to start a rewatch of the entire show ;) Thank you so much for sharing this and your love for this series with us.
I was in the class of '99, but wasn't allowed to watch non-educational TV as a teenager, and was pretty unaware of most pop culture. When I finally discovered this show in my late 20s, it felt like a part of my childhood that I had missed. The message I most wish I had known as a teenager is Buffy's speech to Jonathan in Earshot, that everyone is too busy with their own pain to notice yours. This helped me so much with my social anxiety and I became much more comfortable in my own skin.
I was 6 when the show premiered too! So cool. Thankfully we were able to watch it in the UK when I was 7, feels like a lifetime ago but also only yesterday.
I LOVE YOU SO MUCH FOR DOING THISSS, ever since i first saw you on tumblr saying Buffy is your favorite show a long while ago, i've been expecting a reaction or any video about it. This is my favorite show in the whole world and your words hit me hard, it's all i ever wanted to say about it and couldn't find words, thank you (also you should really react to Buffy more, that would be awesome)
Yes!! Please do more Buffy!! I loved this so much
Happy to say I watched Buffy week to week when it was first aired. I love watching it again and again. The musical is a family favorite. :)
I loved your reaction. Revisiting the songs made my skin tingle every bit as much as it did yours. This episode was such a wonder at the time. We'd had the Xena musical episode a little while before with all original songs and it set the standard -- and then OMWF blew it out of the water, gathered up the smithereens, and blew it up again. While there was gnashing of teeth among the fandom at the time with Dawn and Season 6, this episode... there really are still no words. It was a marvel.
Love seing another buffy fan knowing the words by heart. I still find myself humming these dang tunes every so often.
I've lost count how many times I have Re-watched Buffy but this particular episode is so daring and one of my favourites. At 9:29 where you point the do do do beats is LIT-er-ally me everytime :') I appreciate this vid so hard
I found the show Angel first while going through Cancer and I agree that words can't fully describe that just by watching both Angel then Buffy (Dvd's season by season) helped me get through my god awful treatments, and while ya puking and loss of hair I knew about it was the isolation and the how I saw myself as a sick, bald, tired, person that no one wanted to be around was where I found and there is no other way to say it a friend. not like a let's do dinner type friend but more of a way to share my vast emotions with. I was able to laff, cry, hope, in a time when it was needed the most. I can't say the show's saved me but I can say with total honesty that it helped me through a very hard time.
Buffy The Vampire Slayer is also my favorite show of all time. The best life lessons are taught in that show. I have 33 Buffy action figures as reminders of my own spiritul journey through life. Thank you Thank you for this.
The tragedy with Buffy is that there really is no single episode that you can show people to convince them of its greatness. It all builds on the previous episodes, even the lame monster of the week episodes... Great reaction, thank you for sharing :)
OMG IM SO GLAD TO SEE FELLOW BUFFY FANS OMG IM OBSESSED WITH THE SHOW. ITS MY FAV OF ALL TIME
I was 13 years old when Buffy came on. I remember watching the first episode when it aired. I almost never missed an episode up until the 4th season when sports and school stuff prevented me from keeping up. So I finally did a rewatch and got to finish the series last year. Bless you Netflix. Watching Willow & Tara's relationship left me wanting more representation. I didn't realize how much I needed it until then. I think I've mentioned this before but it was because of Buffy that I found your channel and found Carmilla, which that show changed my life. I wanted more Willow & Tara so I searched for fan vids on youtube. One of the suggested ones was a multifandom f/f vid. It had Hollstein, Wayhaught, and Clexa in it. Which then it had one of your Carmilla reactions suggested after it. So thank you Buffy for leading me to this channel and thank you Natalie for leading me to Carmilla. I would love it if you did more reaction vids to Buffy. Like you said it would be like watching them with a friend, a friend who feels the same way about the show as I do. So thank you for making these vids. They really do mean a lot. They help make people feel connected and not alone.
I love finding people who feel the same way about this show as I do! I came in late to the show while it was on, I came in part way through season 3, after having watched and rewatched seasons 1 and 2 so many times lol But this show means so much to me and it's my comfort show for sure!
I would *love* to get a bunch of Buffy fans together and do a pj rewatch of a few episodes together! That would be so much fun!
Just found this reaction. Favorite!!!!!!! Thank you 😭💕
This is my favorite TV show of all time. I still remember recording it on VHS because it came on when I couldn't watch it live. I got the whole series once it came out on DVD, I was so excited. Lol. So glad you were able to find it and watch and enjoy it after it aired. I would love to see your reactions to some of the other episodes. Like Hush?
Also, I am very far behind the times on Carmilla and just binge watched the whole thing. I'm looking forward to watching your reactions to a few of those as well.
You’d have loved it in Vancouver, pre Covid there was an annual sing along held in a local cinema. People came in costumes, sang with the show like RHPS screenings. It was so much fun
I watch a bit of this and then thumbs it up. I watch more and go to thumbs it up again because it is so good. Thanks for watching this again and bring back all the memories.
my grandpas in the hospital and i have no idea what’s going on so i’m freaking out a little so watching someone watch my favourite episode of my favourite show and love it and gush about it as much as i do really helped, thank you
Love this reaction! You should definitely react to more of the show! I am actually somewhat newer to the BTVS fandom but it has become my favorite show and I am completely obsessed with it
I feel the same way about Buffy, it's so hard to put into words just how much I love the show and how much it has helped me through rough times.
I know this was 3 years ago, but, I just wanted to say that I have been watching since I was 7. I have been watching since my sister introduced me to it in 1997. Since the first intro to the series as a set I have been rewatching BTVS every year no matter what! Keep on keeping on, even now
I need to rewatch it one of these days.
Had a group we would meet on Thursdays to talk about Buffy (previous night episode). We knew it was a musical due to promos, but wow blew us away.
Love your reaction, and nice voice by the way :D 20 years I am fan of Buffy. I watched so many shows and Buffy is still the best!
I watched it before but I forget to say what a GREAT comment/reaction is that. Thank u Natalie !!
Do rewatch it.
It is still amazing.
(love Rest in Peace)
"Respect the cruller and tame the doughnut" was a reference to Tom Cruise's "respect the c**k and tame the c**t" from the movie Magnolia. Apparently Joss was a big PT Anderson fan, as am I. I was probably in the 2% that got Xander's joke. :)
jmwild1 I never knew what Xander meant but in my head thought it was something really dirty. Now you just confirmed it was exactly what I thought it was.
Thank you very much for this. I've been wondering for almost half my life.
That's what that is! I've seen that Magnolia scene more than once, and OMWF more times than I can count but I never put the two together.
It fits well with Xanders character and the dark creepy sexist side of him that comes out sometimes but is never really adressed in the show.
I am so glad you have been able to explain this! I haven't understood the reference in all these years!!! Thank you!
I'm so sorry for not commenting before but I've watched your reaction for years. Thank you so much.
you got a good singing voice! Aww man your love for this makes me really happy.. and im also singing along
I stared watching buffy when I was 12 and I still love it to day its still my favorite show out there this show made me cry more than every show ever but it also made me laugh a lot me and my dad are the only once in my family that watched buffy and have seen every season of it
also i really enjoyed you singing along to every word made it even better love you xxxxxx
this is one of my favourite episodes!!!!!!!
Isn't it strange every few years very true fans go back and re-watch all the seasons? & everything is SO emotional like the first time?? OMG =)
Great video. Lovely to see how much Buffy means to you. The show has so many memories for me too.
I found that going to cons and meeting the cast and other fans is really great and keeps the show going. You should try some out if you’ve not been. Also following the careers of the actors.
I'm glad Buffy was there when you needed it and welcome to someday you made it and now you're helping others with your story
I came across your video just scrolling through and watching all reaction videos to Once more with feeling I could find and that seemed interesting. I’m so glad I watched yours! It was incredibly touching to hear you speak about how important the show was to you and, specifically, how important the Willow/Tara relationship was, especially back then. While I can’t possibly relate to what you were feeling, what I can say is that I think that having this relationship in my favourite show when I was growing up really shaped my view of homosexual relationships as.. well, relationships. Being exposed to such a good representation early on just normalised it. Don’t get me wrong - it was not like I had a negative view on it or anything, I think I just really hadn’t ever thought about it but Buffy really helped me become all-in-all a better person.
Sorry for the rambling thoughts and any mistakes - a foreigner here, English is not my first language.
Oh, and your voice is absolutely stunning. Beautiful, truly.
Late to the show, but Alyson Hannigan's (Willow) reaction to hearing what she had done to Buffy was just spot on. The look of absolute horror on her face really sold it.
i love buffy and this song. Buffy help me so so much and i am so happy some one else gets it ❤❤❤
thank you for sharing how much this show meant to you!
I totally get you! It´s difficult to put into words. But I´ll probably have to say, the final minutes of Buffy´s season 5 finale were most likely the most emotional tv watching experience, that I´ve ever had in my life, even just recently relived!...
I think I was 3 when I first watched Buffy. The show aired the year I was born and my auntie was a big fan of the show and I saw parts at her house and I just go into it. I’ve been watching it ever since ☺️
I kinda only just found your channel, you're ace btw!
I watched Buffy in 3 different times in my life, I had an older brother so when I was 7 years old I would watch it with my brother and watched the entire first run growing up, I saw it then as a girl who kicked butt and scary monsters and magic and it was awesome.
When I watched it again I was a teenager, as soon as the season finale ended in 2003 I watched it all from the beginning and saw so many other things to identify with and I got the jokes and the angst and the tension a lot more.
My 3rd viewing of Buffy was when I finished University I was 21 I was very depressed and suddenly I viewed season 5 onward with totally different eyes I related so well with everything Buffy and the Scoobies were going through when they reached adulthood and the jokes were still funny, loads of TV shows you watch again and they've lost that shine and you sort of go "omg did I really watch this" with Buffy I'm so incredibly impressed every time I see it and so happy it has been a part of my life because no matter what you're experiencing you can relate to how the scoobies feel and it makes it easier (for me anyway).
Willow and Tara were a beautiful thing to behold, regardless of sexuality. I am straight, yet still loved them, adored those two together and I cried when Tara died.
While Tara's Willow revelation was massive, Willows look when Buffy says she was ripped out of Heaven that was the most heart wrenching moment in the ep!
I feel like you and I could be best friends singing along to that episode, I am glad to see I’m not the only one remembering the lyrics :D
You just gained a new subscriber! I loved this. I think I started Buffy around the same time you did, I was about ten or eleven myself, and it's still a show that I can go back to and watch and still feel the same feelings...if that makes sense? This episode is still so good and the music was done so well.
Love this episode. Tara will always be my favorite Buffy character. ❤
Buffy is timeless :) xxxx
Just found your channel, halfway through this video and OMG you are SO adorable I cannot handle it!!!!
I saw your video YEARS ago, and I still watch it. I SING ALONG all the time with this video, and this episode. NO ONE can watch it with me cause I am cray cray! I found this show once it came out, I was 7! lol... I was Bisexual, and I was just misunderstood. I always and still look to this show for guidance. I absolutely LOVE this show, my whole growing up I idolized this show, and quoted it, was a geek totally for it and didn't care! Me and one other person in my school loved it, and it was a guy named Justin. He always would watch it over the phone with me every Friday. He would say I was more of a "Faith" character, which I understand... but with a Buffy sense of humor. Plus LOVING Spike to like being OBSESSED almost... There is NO show like this sense it stopped or before or after! I always wanted to fight like her, talk like her, and be MYSELF. like her. I love Buffy always and forever, I grew up with her, and went through the motions with her, and it's a very special show to a lot of people out there, IM SINGING ALONG WITH YOY NAT! XO
Bunnies man, fuckin' bunnies.
its still so good
your intro talk is so beautiful! My ex always talked down everything I was a fan of so to this day it gives me satisfaction when people affirm how important and stunning this show is, cause he just said it wasn´t to be a dick^^
And yes, I´m also proud to be a hardcore Buffy fan, forever
You made me cry too! Im 29. 😊😊😊 best memories
Buffy is the best show ever made. #1 on my list as well.
Oh, but if you rewatch, GET THE ORIGINAL DVDS. Do NOT use the screwed up "remastered" that are hugely problematic and denounced by Joss. (Google or ask me and I'll give links.)
54345sdfa amen!!!
I am sort of conflicted. I understand the importance of 4:3 aspect ratio in episodes like "The Body", but then again, "Restless" just looks so goshdarnit good in widescreen...
@@daliden I think season 4 onwards is in widescreen on the European DVDs. Definitely the later seasons are anyway.
But based on Passion of the Nerd's latest video on the terrible HD remaster, the European DVD conversion to 16:9 was apparently way better than what they did on the HD remaster.
I highly recommend rewatching Buffy as an adult. I watched it when it first aired (it started when I was in 7th grade) and it was revolutionary for me on a lot of levels (hello same sex attraction!). However there's something about rewatching it as an adult that is very special. Not just for nostalgia, but also for seeing things in a new light. I bought the box set in 2010 and I still regularly rewatch it.
