Brady: I've been in a good mood
86: let me fix that for you
How did you accurately breakdown Shin in just couple seconds of his appearance? wtf
EDIT: Damn your discussion with grief is literally the whole theme of the first and mainly second part of the anime(first 3 volumes). The steps forward doesn't end there of course. Essentially the entire novel series is heavily character driven by tackling grief and purpose. It's a great series. You also definitely hit the nail on its head that his 'responsibility and honoring' is also a burden and caging him in.
That's why this show is so damn good!! The writers know just the exact amount of character to show and how much restraint to show, and they truly understand the psychology of their characters to portray it in such an accurate and nuanced way. It's amazing to see a show that is just so confident in its storytelling that it trusts the viewer to pick up on these things.
Notice the difference between the para raid devices. The 86 have essentially ear tags like you would tag livestock. The handlers para raids are detatchable more human and comfortable like a necklace.
The class room exposition worked for me specifically because it was in a class room. Presumably some of those students didn't know that information because of all the propaganda. Also Lena is the best.
i think he´ll love Violet Evergarden, it doesn´t have war crimes but it´s about learning emotions
Bokurano also comes to mind.
well it sort of does have war crimes tho 😂 just not in the same way
@graffititurtle9035 The show is the end result of several war crimes.
What a precise word to describe that... "Ghost in the machine". 😂
Its always fascinating seeing what you pull out from what the story is portraying.
Like with Episode 1, we're told a lot about what the Republic's social construct of Shin is and even his expressions and voice lean to uncaring, but that is the furthest thing from reality. Shin carving out and keeping mementos of all his fallen comrades isn't something someone uncaring or detached would do. He throws himself into the thick of combat against the most powerful enemies, not just because he's skilled but he puts the greatest burden on himself. Shin is the one who takes it upon himself to bear the trauma of putting down his friends when they're unable to continue. We also know that the Republic doesn't care about them. We see the limited supplies for their mechs and even the only food their given is synthetic rations. So the 86 have to scavenge for supplies and repurpose fallen units. They have to search, grow, and catch the main portions of their food.
It also serves as a great compare and contrast with Lena. They both have so much compassion, but Lena is criticized for hers while Shin's has earned him a reputation and respect among his comrades. Shin is looking out for those under his command like Lena, but Shin has destroyed (according to the Republic) other Handlers because as we see, some of them will just lead the 86 to their deaths with zero regard. Lena as well tries her best to keep her squad alive but never really tried connecting as she is now. So we see Shin constantly gauging her abilities and intentions. He sees Lena is willing to listen to his experience as well as tactically sound while also be willing to pull rank and reprimand him for his shortcomings while trying to aspire him to more.
They are both people who take their role incredibly seriously. But that devotion has kind of alienated both of them. We see Shin constantly at a distance from others as his role has left a rift. The rest of the 86 are his friends. They respect and trust him with their lives, but there is that distance in almost every scene. Lena is the same, but somehow even more isolated. She's constantly having to fight off the narrative of her nation, as well as everyone else in her life. Her best friend and her uncle are the only people who somewhat see things her way, with her friend trying to help her relax and her uncle covering for her when she is disruptive.
Its easy to see why Lena feels a connection with them because the 86 are people her age living her truth. Lena also comes from a military and noble family, with great respect and admiration of her father. Its not hard to see why Lena would connect with Shin, who is a soldier that's "got his shit together." and is highly competent but is also willing to hear her out and take her assistance.
Glad to catch these live and commenting to boost the algorithms.
I'd argue that the lecture scene does tell us some new things. We learn that Lena underestimated the rot in her nation while get to see just how bad and widespread it is.
Lena is a Queen, We love Lena
I watched the vod on twitch (couldn't watch it live) and I gotta say I really love your reactions, some of the best I've seen. You have very interesting things to say, focus on small details that are easy to miss for many people, make very good predictions (not always 100% spot on, but surprisingly close), and are also funny and charismatic when appropiate. Really enjoying the ride and can't wait to see you get to the final episodes.
aw thanks Hanede! Glad you are enjoying the ride and I also can't wait to see what's next (hopefully healing XD)
Sawano Hiroyuki is a master of anime soundtracks. The atmosphere of the anime for which he composes music is different. When it comes to Sawano, it's hard for the anime to be that bad. While writing the music, the man is so sincere, so intelligent and so intimate with the story of the anime that it is impossible not to be impressed. He made a separate soundtrack for each episode for this anime. I have never encountered this ability in anyone else. Also, this is a good video for the episode 2. I liked it.
One Episode in and you are all ready building the merch. You my friend are speed running this rabbit hole. Welcome
If you are all interested in the books this show is based on. There are now audio books done by English voice actors.
Have a nice day.
as a psychological student I felt this is one of the lecture I am so invested on. The way you talk about narrative therapy is so easy to understand in just a few sentences. Glad I'm here
Thanks for watching! Glad you are enjoying the psychological elements :D
Already watched the vods, but I'll throw a comment so yt likes the video more.
I wish you'd announce the 86 streams earlier than one hour before they start, it's easy to miss them like that.
Apologies for that! We've been watching them on Sunday mornings at around 10-11MST and will be sticking to that schedule with 86 :)
great, I'll probably catch the next one ;)
love seeing people react to this show, and watch them slowly break down over 11 episodes. Truly a Hidden Gem of an anime.
Let's goooo! This show was made for you.
I equated your talk on grief with heartbreak, very interesting to hear, love your insight
Love the in depth analysis. This show is so rich in imagery and subtext - I love it! When can we expect episode 3?
Thanks for checking it out! The show is truly amazing. Hopefully I can get the third episode up this weekend :)
Damn, 7 minutes in and you're already grasping Shin's entire situation in the show very well. I wish you do get to the second cour fast, because these all come together in a magnificent build up for the iconic ending. Shin is a very broken person, it's actually very sad to see. And us viewers gets to experience how he really views things slowly coming out throughout the show, especially on the later part of the second cour.
Nice seminars
btw there are 'something' in the openings too
and the dates are often very important
48:54 sir thanks for those words. I wasn't feeling well past few months because I feel like I'm not doing a good job at the workplace. I'm still trying to accept my flaws.
watching right now see you in ep 3 the way you can Foreshadowing is really good !
So I recently finished the show and was looking for more content of it while the LN I order delivers and after watching a couple of your vids I'm damn impressed about how you can go so deep into it within the first few episodes. Came for 86 stayed for the philosophical simp
Thanks so much for checking it out!
Hi. I'm from Argentina and also a pshycologist and psychoanalist. We can't assume in terms of grief or any pshycological situation that our patients have the "skills" that they need. You can't missinformed like that. Is really important to understand that each human been have their own minds and backgrounds and unfortunely not all of them have the mental resources to deal with traumas, loses, grief, mental disorders and, basically, life. Grief is really something hard to work as a proffesional, and hard to live as a pacient and as a human but not everyone can work it out in the best way possible. We need to be there to help them but not by saying that ALL of them have the "skills" to deall with it because is not true, Brady.
Amazing reaction and breakdown, absolutely love this and hope to catch you live sometime.
Preeeeeeetty sure the flowers are always real. :P
My favorite first anime episode is from To Your Eternity, such a roller coaster of emotions. I never felt so attached to a nameless character in a 20 smth minute episode. Oh, I was terrified as well, but that's probably because I own a dog and read too much in the horror genre.
I watched it live, but imma watch it again now
Love your videos brady
Not just conspiracy stuff. A number of definitions have been changed, just like here with human, and both our and thier societies have just accepted the new definition.
14:03 dealing with loss
Exponential self esteem decline? I've been living that for years!
we all love lena here
I love how sneaky they are about the service time and becoming a citizen of the Republic. The war is going on for 9 years, yet there are 0 people with colored hair in thei Republic.
1:11:00 I find it very curious that you mentioned specifically "right wing" conspiracy theories. I personally think the very same thing can be said of people that are anti-conspiracy.
About the pizza gate specifically, I do not know about the whole conspiracy, but as someone who was at that time in a very unhealthy place with my p*rn addiction, I checked the accounts listed. Most went private, some were emptied of any content, but by looking through them long enough, I found some of them that were open and I saw myself cp and even rcp that were on them. After everything went viral and their accounts were given for public knowledge. So at least that part wasn't just a theory.
I thought about it quite a lot and I think it is very ironic. Because literally what Lena said would be treated as a conspiracy theory. For a brainwash society, every attempt to bring them to truth would be a conspiracy theory. Holocaust for an average german during ww2 would be conspiracy theory. Don't you think it is quite interesting how not only our cognitive abilities, but also our bieses are causing us to believe some total nonsense (like flat earth or young earth creationism) or not believe something that could be easily proven (for a sake of argument I will use holocaust to not debate any actual unproven theories)?
I just found it funny how he went immediately to right wing conspiracy theories and not general conspiracy theories or left wing conspiracy theories.
It's rough watching a full reaction with no music. Incentive to watch live, I guess. Still though. Wonder if there's a better way?
Yeah some episodes really take a hit when I have to cut a lot of it out. I did start a patreon for that reason if you're interested, it has many of the 86 series up already including those that have not reached UA-cam yet and without any editing.
