Just seeing a black girl without cartoonishly big, pink lips in an anime is enough for me to want to watch this!! It's rare to see someone who looks like me in an anime!!
Same, there are honestly more black people in this show than most American sitcoms and there are moments that are just pleasant representation on top of it.
This anime is pretty close to my heart, it's not a story driven one tho, but a character driven one with a futuristic setting. Some songs like 'the loneliest girl' which grips my heart to the end, 'Give you the world' reminds me of my loved ones, 'Light a fire' inspires me and 'Mother' is just a fantastic song with almost every singer in the anime coming together to sing it. I wished there were more people to talk about this show. Btw they almost made a real Instagram account and uploaded pictures every week when the episode came out, It was pretty sweet.
@@jaylynpayne1 lol yeah if you live in the west and watch it off Netflix there is only one season, the rest of us are currently finishing the second season.
I'm a failed artist and this has to be one of my favourite videos ever, I keep coming back to it. you guys are poets. your profession isn't youtubing, it's straight up poetry.
This anime is more relevant than ever now that AI has openly infiltrated the music industry. Once again, Watanabe making classics that go under the radar
All the music performances in this show were amazing and I got tears in my eyes too many times to be a grown ass man. Glad I checked it out and didn’t judge by the cover
I love this show. As Angela were introduced I was hating her to all he... ck but after I while I realized that she was not so bad, she has her own issues. Imo I think she is a third protagonist more than an antagonist. She might be a rival to Carol and Tuesday but NOT an enemy. No, I think the true enemy in this show is Tuesday's political mother, we have probably not seen the last of her. Just guessing though.
@@Mintysaur Of course I am... :-P Probably? Now I still haven't actually watched the second part even when it is sitting there on my Netflix watch list. Maybe I should...
This deep dive just ripped into my soul... I actually spent the better part of my youth learning and singing opera and planned on making it my life... Until I had my stroke at 18 and lost my ability to form words. Long story short, it crushed my dreams and hopes and while after YEARS of speech therapy, I can speak not but it's difficult and I'm permanently disabled so... But I know that desire to so badly jump in and sing and belt out with everything in me... Thanks for sharing😥❤
"Purity is a fruit ripe for rot. Dreams can become despair..." You can't fuck me up like that a minute and twenty seconds in, c'mon man. Damn this channel is good
You mean most underrated anime... This was so beautiful, so emotional, so touching, so full of inspirational in so many ways and far beyond it's time that hopefully one day people will realize it's genius in the future.
I felt you when you talked about having a fellow friend musician you made good music with, and you don't get to see much anymore. I used to have someone like that, and we got blinded by bullshit and we were never the same. Carole and Tuesday is super underrated and brailliant.
you know how i know this anime and this video were both made with so much heart and passion?? i started crying when you played the guitar along to the loneliest girl. thank you so much for sharing a bit of your story and for creating this video, seriously.
I love this anime so much. I never thought he could repeat Bebop but... Better??? More diverse?? Idk, it's just... Wow. Few creators manage even one classic. And he's somehow improved and made new even better chapters. Music truly does connect us all. And representation does matter.
I woke up, opened youtube to see something while I brush my teeth and shower, and I see that bonsai pop uploaded 5m ago.... Damn I woke up 4 minutes and 30s late... Fak Btw this is an amazing video and keep following your passion, I always look forward to this channel's uploads. Idc if it's a story you never knew or a video like this, I like both :)
I used to have a friend who gelled with me, making music like that. I don't see him anymore either, and it sucks. Don't let trivial things get in the way of your dreams.
WHY DOES THIS CHANNEL NOT HAVE A MILLION SUBS YET!!! Awesome video essay and editing, but could you at least mention more about the side characters like my man Gus and Roddy.
I love y'all's content! You guys break it down all the way to philosophical stand point I first saw the samurai champloo episode and Mike you ended up almost sounding like an MC through your narration which really went with the vibe of the episode and anime. This was another great episode I've been meaning watch this anime next it looks really good. You guys should do Kids On The Slope it's another one of Watanabes works. Keep up the dope content and the hard work!
Music is awesome... and i totally understand jamming with friends and just making stuff up on the spot, seeing what fits with what lyrically and rhythmically. Most of my buds have moved away so i usually dont get to jam out anymore but still love picking up my guitar and rocking out for a couple hours
You blew me away with the eloquence and feeling behind your review. What a cool life story to run away from home with a guitar, no wonder you could relate so much. I just finished season 2 and it was a great story.
I was on the fence for this show but you have severely pushed me over the edge to watch it I love Watanabe but I don't love all his works but this is the kind of show I like to watch in terms of subject matter I find most anime that have anything to do with music just pique my interest and keep it there and the future setting along with how the music industry has become so prepackaged is truly fascinating gonna dive head first into this one and that scene you did where you played along with Carole and Tuesday with your own instruments hit me so hard! I knew you were cool Mike but not this cool but anyway thanks for the suggestion and another great video to watch and enjoy can't wait to rewatch this once I have finished the show
As someone who refuses to let netflix dictate when I can watch anime, it really depresses me that only now are people beginning to talk about part 1. Episode 21 is the most recent episode at the time of posting this. You are absolutely right that the tone shifts in the second half of it.
I loved this show, all the seasons keep on getting better. And you made me cry with the lonelies girl. This days of isolation makes us see our lonelines. Thank you for your work.
I love this show and like you the first session was what did me in And it's always nice to see your takes on these shows and I really wish to see your channel grow bigger and if you ever need help let me know I'm a translator and a bit of an editor at any rate good luck and hope to see more of you guys.
Smart and from the heart. I love what you guys are doing here. I felt things for a show I've never heard of, and now I want to watch something totally out of my wheelhouse.
I personally loved this anime and how the story and characters were handled. As a creative myself (graphic artist, illustrator and dancer) you hit so many points that resonated deeply with my own journey: that fear of failure, that rush of trying something new, doing something for the love of doing it and not just for fame or monetary gain. I'm often at war with myself trying to find the balance between doing things I'm passionate about, things that make me happy and the responsibility of bills and the like. I couldn't quite articulate what it was about this anime that I connected to but there was just a realness to it. I really enjoy your in depth reviews!
1:10 When I heard that quote I ended up quoting Johnny from The Outsiders. TT__TT "Stay gold, Ponyboy. Stay gold." TT__TT And yeah! This anime has definitely resonated with me because not too long ago, I felt like I had hit rock bottom in my life, but was starting to climb out of it, so when this anime came out, I loved it because of the relevance it had with me at the time. I've just signed up for screenwriting class, I was learning how to find structure in my life, then came this anime. It really has aired at the right place and at the right time for me.
Surprised this video only now showed up in my recommended lol, I consumed a lot of media around this show bc I loved it sm. The addition of Xenoblade 1's memories caught me by surprise haha already love your content. Oh also you have a very soothing voice
The Masterpieces of Watanabe: Cowboy Bebop Kids on the slope Carole & Tuesday Space Dandy Samurai Champloo He's on a role and hes not stopping! Can't wait for his next one: Blade Runner Black Lotus
Really connected with this show a bunch. I totally know what you meant about having that feeling of connection with someone through music, its such a good feeling. Also loved that Metroid Prime music you sneaked in there ;)
Honestly, I felt the same way after watching this anime. I felt a sense of understanding and calmness in that desire to live my own dreams but strgglibg to reach them. I also agree with you on not wanting to do what is considered popular and giving in to what works in the industry. Sure it helps pay and gets attention, but it has no soul, no heart. The message as well as the music is what makes it truly beautiful to watch. Also, loving the metroid music plugged in there too (lol, love metroid ost).
Always good to hear from ya Mike. This is on my list to watch now that it's on Netflix! Edit: After listening to the song it makes me want to pick up my guitar.
This is now even worse and more true after the last episode of this week. This show is a hurtful masterpiece, ive never felt more satisfied and uncomfortable at the same time watching this. I have a bad feeling about the future of these girls, damn. And your right, the first part felt like a beautiful musical-like dream. But the second hits you with reality way to hard and too fast.
I really enjoyed this video and started the series because of seeing such a great recommendation! What is the music in the video. that starts at 14:36 ? That beat is mint
This show always reminds me that the wounds we tear open every day can't stay this important forever. Gotta look at the notebook and get back into the groove.
Yo Mike, great video as always! The part about your reflection with Tuesday really tugged at my heartstrings, it was beautiful! Do you still get to make your own songs on a leasurely basis? Or is there no time in your current life for it? I for one would love to hear a snippet of the music you have made in the past, maybe make a special little Bonsaipop or Treesicle video someday? Greetings from the Netherlands, stay awesome!
It feels like a lot of anime youtubers aren't talking about this show. It's frustrating but I can't think of an explanation other than Netflix's release schedule and the somewhat unusual subject matter.
Cowboy bebop is a timeless classic Carloe and Tuesday is a modern classic Samurai champloo is a masterpiece that shows lacking purpose is ok Space dandy is an amazingly underrated and goofy show All these shows are masterpieces, Shinichirō Watanabe is a masterpiece and they way your channel writes scripts and explain many of my favourite animes so deliberately in which I wish I could explain to my friends truly is a masterpiece. Your guy’s channel is criminally underrated Thank you.
The artwork in the anime is absolutely captivating.I just need to take a minute to appreciate what i am seeing.Stunning!Is there a manga for this?I tend to like the actual mangas more than the animes more detailed and I just love to read anyway.
as a musician who is prob aroud the same age as you id like to hear your old music. I use to tour in hardcore bands from 2005 to 2017, now i make electronic music as a hobbie and fix computers as a profession lol
To fail means that you have taken the chance to succeed... Not to fail, assuming you haven't succeeded, logically means that you didn't take the chance at all...
Kids on a Slope is good, but honestly it’s not really worth doing a video on. The actual story is pretty bland. What makes the anime good is the animation/music. In my opinion I think Carole and Tuesday tell sa much better story about music and friendships better than Kids on a Slope.
This channel is criminally underrated
It's fucking bullshit cause netflix cock blocks but it'll hit when it drops onto it.
Agreed

Honestly this is the first anime I've seen in a while that depicts black people in such a nuanced way
Lol
I wish I could have an anime character that looks like me:(
Gorilla Art michiko and hatchin.
This anime is pretty close to my heart, it's not a story driven one tho, but a character driven one with a futuristic setting.

Btw they almost made a real Instagram account and uploaded pictures every week when the episode came out, It was pretty sweet.
Carole and Tuesday is a modern classic and going through the second season now, I think it will hit a lot of people by surprise.
I just saw the most recent eps from part 2... tears have been shed

I love this show. As Angela were introduced I was hating her to all he... ck but after I while I realized that she was not so bad, she has her own issues. Imo I think she is a third protagonist more than an antagonist. She might be a rival to Carol and Tuesday but NOT an enemy. No, I think the true enemy in this show is Tuesday's political mother, we have probably not seen the last of her. Just guessing though.

@@Mintysaur It probably is, loved the first half. I started to watch the first five minutes, then I got distracted and never got back to it. I will!

As a failed musician who still insists on musicianing, few pieces of media have ever hit as hard for me as Carole & Tuesday
I like to think that Carole And Tuesday is set on Mars twenty years after the events of Cowboy Bebop.

Bro this show is beautiful
It truly is. I don't even know what else to say about it.
My favorite scene is when the character Skip sings Unrequited Love. Bittersweet
I feel like I learned more about Bonsai Pop more than Carol and Tuesday 😂
Love the video essays, I wish you guys the best success
You made me tear with your performance with guitar, blending on "The Loneliest Girl" song.

My idea of a chill morning, having a smoke and watching Bonsai pop. This is an amazing vid.
Great, well thought out analysis of this wonderful anime.
One of the best shows out there. Watch it if you haven’t already
My best friend and bandmate passed away last year from an intentional overdose. This show kind of fucked me up when I watched it. Miss you, Seth.
Cowboy bebop is a timeless classic
Carloe and Tuesday is a modern classic
Samurai champloo is a masterpiece that shows lacking purpose is ok
Space dandy is an amazingly underrated and goofy show
All these shows are masterpieces, Shinichirō Watanabe is a masterpiece and they way your channel writes scripts and explain many of my favourite animes so deliberately in which I wish I could explain to my friends truly is a masterpiece.
Your guy’s channel is criminally underrated
Thank you.
I've had this on my list but I'm convinced now I need to watch it
It's soooooooooo fucking guuuuuuud
Carole & Tuesday has some parallels with another show I love Bakuman
Hi thanks for making me cry. This video came at the perfect time for me. Thank you so much.

Carole and Tuesday is a wonderful show. The music is amazing.
You should redo this video in the current 2024 generative AI landscape.
Especially with the new music ones that came out...
Yeah, I just started watching C&T this week, and it does feel like their world is where ours is going with AI.
Watch out for Ai scammers. 😄
as a musician who is prob aroud the same age as you id like to hear your old music. I use to tour in hardcore bands from 2005 to 2017, now i make electronic music as a hobbie and fix computers as a profession lol
This show is soooo underrated. Shinichiro Watanabe is a genius
Tuesday kinda looks like Griffith, but more like the 97 bloopers.
It really is hard to find original music nowadays that isn't legitimately too hard to listen too
Kids. On. The. Slope. Get on it
Great video and take as always dude. Would love to see future vids on Jojo's, Naruto, One Piece, Fire Force, Soul Eater, and more!
If any one says caroles a tan anime girl ima bout to slap some one
She's a Filipino lol
Mr. Crow - no she's korean, duh /s
Street vendors and thieves.......like the Bronx It's not like that here but I get what you were going for 😂😂😂
another great video, keep up the fantastic work!
this was awesome
please do a beck: Mongolian chop squad break down :)
Yo my guy! If one of my role models loved your music, then I got to listen to it bruh. Real talk!!
Glad I'm not the only one who welled up to this anime
Does anyone know when part two is coming out on Netflix?
Absolutely fantastic!
Beautiful show. Nobody does it like Watanabe.
I wonder if I’ve heard any of your music. Did you ever tour with any of your bands?
To fail means that you have taken the chance to succeed... Not to fail, assuming you haven't succeeded, logically means that you didn't take the chance at all...
You have to do a review on “kids on a slope”
Kids on a Slope is good, but honestly it’s not really worth doing a video on. The actual story is pretty bland. What makes the anime good is the animation/music.
In my opinion I think Carole and Tuesday tell sa much better story about music and friendships better than Kids on a Slope.
Guys, you gotta talk about Guts. I know this is my third video posting this in the last few minutes, but you have got to talk about Guts.
Look up round and round laundry scene, your welcome
