    Holy shit man. "I never wanted this channel to be about anime, I wanted to establish a connection with people similar to me, and anime seemed like a good medium."
    I used to hate anime. It was always too exaggerated, it wasn't at all like the real world, and it felt like an imitation of things you should experience yourself (if that makes any sense). Now I watch a new series every week or two. I cant get enough of it because it made me connect even better with friends. This channel is damn near flawless. And it gives me comfort knowing that other people think like me.

      Same here, I used to think that anime was extremely unrealistic. But now I realize that the creators behind these anime want to portray something in the form of this animation. Like instead of showing you what these characters can have, they want to show you what you CAN be as a person and not just saying "oh look the mc in this anime is able to do this cause he's/she's the mc and mcs always get the heroic treatment". Now when I look at anime, I try to think what the writer of this particular anime is going for so as to rly understand what it is trying to convey, and not just brush it off as a palce where all your fantasies come true.

      It's a medium after all, not a genre. As such, it's plenty of different things for different people.
      For example, I am so into it because during my childhood the thing that "clicked" with me the most were films from Ghibli, Laputa and Kiki alike.
      From there I developed an interest in them and animation in general, which in later years ended up being united with my passion for storytelling and fiction writing as a whole. Sure, most anime isn't Ghibli, but that was a starting point from which my taste for it developed: the wits and humour of Monogatari, the complex setting and human characters of the Nasuverse, the pure existenzial dread of PunPun, the almost perfect (to me) Cowboy Bebop.... They just resonate with me more than what most western products of the same style end up doing.
      All of this, just to say that IMO people miss so much because they judge something depending on the medium.
      As an example, It's impossible that there isn't any conventional novel a person like, he/she simply wasn't exposed to It, but saying "I don't like to read" doesn't mean anything since it's the result of lacking the correct experience that made Reading "click" in the first place.
      At the end of the day, fiction and art are just a way for humans to be creative, express themselves or craft something they find of value, or to spend time with it. If they don't spark human connections in the public or emotions/ideas in the single person, what are they good for?

      Same thing happened to me as well. Back then I didn't like anime & manga since I thought of them as "unrealistic & oversaturated".
      But then after actually watched some of them, I realized how well-thought & realistic they are; especially series like Bunny Girl Senpai.
      And it helped me form connections too, not much but still a considerable achievement.

    Futaba's arc was so painfully relatable because of her insecurities. No matter what gender people identify with, there is always a need for attention and validation, and it speaks a lot to younger generations who easily have access to social media. Such a well-written and a great video.

      @@ericmendoza4559 Futaba's Arc is quite a common trope in Sci-Fi (which is appropriate for her): Star Trek did it with the Enemy Within and in Second Chances. Both twins self inflict damage because of their insecurities that the other may be the false one but believe that they can be the real one but, in reality, BOTH of them are the same person but one an over exagerated version of the other.

    i started watching it with my hopes down because i was afraid it would try too hard to be like the shows its obviously influenced by (monogatari and oregairu) but i was pleasently surprised, even if sometimes it wears its influences on its sleeves its a great show on its own

    • @HidinginPublic

    • @BygoneT
      @BygoneT 5 років тому +12

      I constantly see this idea thrown around. Some say it's trying to copy Haruhi Suzumiya, some say Monogatari, some say Oregairu.
      0% proof, all feeling and poor arguments.
      Monogatari takes a clearly down to earth perspective on Aberrations, where common knowledge/sense and personal responsibility can save you or avoid trouble entirely. Senjougahara could have spared herself a lot of trouble if she took the reins of her life with her hands just a bit earlier, Oshino is some dude who apparently is a specialist but all he does is apply common sense, do some word plays and give logical advice. And he can fight.
      Bunny girl senpai has Supernatural troubles that are completely outside the characters' control. Common sense will not restore Mai to visibility. At the start of the story she was beyond the point where that could have helped. Sometimes, you just can't solve your problems alone, is part of the message. Which is completely antithetical to Monogatari.
      Oregairu is a whole other beast, that deals with change, ideals, realistically bringing to life your "Perfect life", the omnipresence of issues even with who the world thinks should not have them (That is, the whole spiel of "Even the gifted have their problems"), judgement, growth, honesty and so on.
      Oregairu is a cynical sometimes, but mostly Existentialist perspective on the people and environments that form society. Hachiman spends his time thinking of ways to discredit tradition, accepted opinions, group think, self sacrifice, martyrdom, because he wants to understand, he'd like to know if they can stand to the attack. He just wants to get what the hell these insane people who cover their lives in illusions, lie, and hurt each other, while pretending they don't want to do that, are trying to accomplish. Do all these subterfuges mean anything? Are they a genuine way to relate?
      Now do tell me, where in BGS this is?
      Is the bantering really the only thing that people link between the series? All other connections are meaningless or completely wrong. And this is without touching on the differences between the MCs.

    The cycle I'm on seems so similar, when I was younger I got compliments for my art and really liked it but it eventually I started to feel like I wasn't worth the attention or praise. Now with my part time job and school (more so with my job) I finally feel like I'm contributing and being productive. I feel like I've been on the longest existential crisis and tbh it's definetly nice to see someone with such a similar experience.

    I love listening to you talk about this stuff. Not to sound super basic, but those are some real topics that I really relate to. It can be weirdly enjoyable to know you can do well doing something, but it becomes a short-lived enjoyment when it overshadows everything else that makes you yourself. It can also be really weird if the thing you accomplish sets up a sort of personality that isn't anything close to who you are, but that's all everyone else in that part of your life gets to see because being open is difficult. Will people like you as a whole? Will you ever really be able to get across everything that makes you yourself? Is it dangerous to do so? I feel like we all ask ourselves these questions in some form with how the Internet detaches us from our true selves

    I just found your channel today, you could say I stumbled on it but I wanna thank you for being brave and sharing your experiences like that because this was one of the most insightful videos I've ever watched. Not even the video, just the message. At first I was looking at the images but they kept distracting me so I put on my earphones, laid down, closed my eyes and just listened to your voice and that soft background music. I find what you said so important cause so many go through that. I think they called it "the puberty syndrome" because that's exactly what it is. When you become a teenager, not only does your body change but also your mind (your mindset, per se). You're slowly becoming an adult and leaving behind the child you used to be. I went through something similar because the child me was one of the most confident and extroverted person ever. She wasn't afraid to say anything, she never had to think twice and people just found it cute and funny and adorable cause I was only a little girl. But when I became a teenager it wasn't the same. People judged me, said I should keep my mouth shut, girls bullied me for being confident and slowly but surely everything the child me knew was "debunked". I had to change my entire personality or I would never be accepted, I would never belong. 18 year old me today is not an excited bubbly extroverted girl anymore. She's not shy per se but she doesn't like to be around too many people so she's become an introverted. She's not completely confident, she just pretends to be when in reality she's really insecure and not very honest with herself. I was worried about my personality change but you lessened my worries considerably with your words and I'm glad you did so. I really am.

    First time seeing the channel. As you talk about the show, Futaba and your self, I thought its crazy how this guy across the world who I have never met, is saying all the things in my head. I felt like youre my friend already. What hit me especially was when you said you never talk about anime to your friends and you pour your soul into the internet instead - because I do this too. It made me feel so alone to love all these anime but have no one to discuss it with, but now it feels like I've found a friend. as cheesy or corny as it is, you really lifted my soul up today just by sharing. its two years since you posted so youll likely never read this, but then again i wouldnt be me if i didnt speak my mind online like this. youre helping me slowly realise myself, arigato gozaimasu

    Dude, the degree to which I relate to you in each and every one of your videos is surreal. Somehow no matter what you talk about and whenever you talk about it I can relate. I suppose what I want to say is that, there are other people out here who relate to you and have had the same experiences as you. Stay strong

    When Futaba said she hated herself and posting photos to that account was a way of self-harm it felt incredibely relatable and it was precisely her flaws that made her such a great character. Punishing yourself for your flaws (it doesn't have to be in a physical way) is unfortunately so much easier and at the same time so much more painful than figuring out and fixing what can be fixed and coming to terms with the unfixable. Futaba is probably my favourite character in the show, because of her VA's voice acting was so spot-on and how relatable she was. It may sound weird, but just as the anime, your video helped me to feel a bit more understood and you using these videos as an outlet for your thoughts is helping not only you, but your viewers (myself included) a lot, so thanks and keep up the good work!

    What makes her story different is how her insecurities arose from comparing herself to (what could be) a better version of herself. Not from other people. Her arc is very relatable indeed especially in this digital era. You've made yet again a great analysis video, Hiding-kun. Glad you have come to terms with your own identity probs and thanks for sharing it here.

    Huh, in general, I used to have a handful of different "mindsets" so to speak, different "me's", if you will. But rather than seeing them as different "me's" what I should've done was handle them as parts of myself. I've had a sort of cognitive dissonance for years now, as in that I'd basically split myself apart to better handle school life, but once I entered college and my old relationships began to fall away by no fault other than my own, I'd ended up discarding the other "me's" and left myself with a hollow feeling shell instead. So my takeaway from this video is that I need to rediscover myself and accept these other fragments of my psyche as parts of the whole that makes me who I am. I guess, one thing I never realized as well, is that despite me always saying that I can go for many months without human contact or direct interaction, that's just me lying to myself, since before my social-self-isolation a couple years ago I never had the occasional shakes nor did I have the heavy feeling in my chest, nor was I incapable of shedding tears of emotion, nor did I have the rare total shutdown of all complex processing abilities that forces me to go to sleep instead of studying. So you know what, thanks dude for waking me up, I needed this, I really truly believe I needed this.

  • @shyrex9895

    We are a "social being" and the search for attention, love and success is what led us here, so it's completely ok if you seek that, no matter what is the way you choose to get that, if it is an healthy path obviously. I sometimes think that the grief to be alone is a physiological feeling that makes us do things and be active even in a social context, and this could feel terribly heavy. Now, from what I saw in 19 years I can say Adler is right, everybody do "things" to being appreciated and loved, lots of our daily actions is subconsciously done for this reason.
    I think you did such a fantastic thing that not all of us could actually do: you chose UA-cam as a mean to reach the others through your own thoughts. Doing so, and being honest with yourself while you're writing, you are actually saying what the people think but don't say, because they are afraid of the other one's reactions. And this helps People, you are helping people. That's rare, but at the same time a proof that all of us should express the real ourself more, because this will make the people love you for what you truly and deeply are. Sometimes you will be misunderstood, but that's ok too, we are all different, you will find that one person that understands. That person could be hiding in public, ironically, so she/he could be anyone out there: you have just to keep your eyes open and "carpe Diem".
    I wanted to thank you, hiding, for what you are doing, from your videos to the music (I've heard it, and liked it!). Keep it only if this helps you too, please remember that. And I hope that you, and the others that'll read this, will find happiness

I am 30 year old guy, I have very few hobbies and the only thing I feel I'm good at is English (I'm from Spain), but nowadays being good at it is such a common thing and an expected one that it ends up making me feel bad about myself because I see it as the only thing that gives me some kind of worth and it feels like it amounts to nothing.

So, seeing your video... hearing your experiences and thoughts were special!

And I’m with you on the “better me” thing. Currently, I carry around a mask of no emotion, and I look onto my self as a whole different person, a person that can organize themself versus a incoherent mess that can’t decide a simple yes or no situation. Your video was quite informative, and I enjoyed it as well.
