I used to like this type of smooth and bluesy jazz. That includes the Kenji Kawasaki River of Crystals or ballads like Pearl by Ilaria Graziano. I even dig these types of anime that contain tragedy. But I've reached 40 years old now; I still like the vibe, but I prefer to be happy. Like this song, for example, she is really on the brink of losing God's grace and questioning things. All I can say is that you're responsible for your own happiness. Neville Goddard and Rhonda Byrne changed me so much that I live my life without attachment to sadness. I can at times, but I choose to be happy and free from all of these worries. I manifested tonnes of things and am freaking happy now. God was never to blame. It is us.
I completely understand. This anime was the pinnacle of art for me when I was ~14, watching other philosophically heavy shows like Lain, Haibane Renmei, Cowboy Bebop, Wolf's Rain, GiTS, etc. It was probably just a manifestation of my wild hormonally driven misery at the time, among other familial things. I do love it, and it still remains one of my favorites, but I'm a little more mellow now. Yoko Kanno changed my life with some of those anime osts, esp featuring Ilaria Graziano and Steve Matthews. I'm happy you're happy now!
As much as it is a voluntary choice to make, it also just isn't. Consider your blessing and don't speak as though manifestations are always your own autonomous choice.
It’s 2021 and I’m still asking myself why I didin’t start watching Texhnolyze before. I’m only at episode 6, but I just want to say that words can’t explain how Texhnolyze amazing is, it just have something that other anime series doesn’t have...
Anime (as with all art forms) is best when it has something to say. The minds behind this series understood that. Sadly, the more thoughtful series generally go under the radar, and do not get the attention the deserve.
I still think about this show and return to listen the soundtrack even though it's been roughly a year since I saw it for the first time. I love the atmosphere and ambience of this show so much.
I remember finishing this anime in high school, actually. It was before I even had internet connection to download, and I was slowly collecting the dvds (lol). I watched the last episode on New Year's Eve and it's a memory I can't really ever forget. I guess I'm showing my age a bit.
@@AyaTeien That sounds magical. Nice to see more people having vivid memories about experiencing this show. I wish they'd make more of these kinds of shows but I'm afraid it's not something that sells in this day and age.
@@G0blin_Darts I don't think it was very popular even then, but you're right. I remember the early 00's being full of melancholy, dark anime. Have you seen the other series created by ABe? Highly recommend Haibane Renmei or Serial Experiments Lain. If you want something with a more dystopic Texhnolyze vibe, Ergo Proxy is amazing. You could also try Wolf's Rain, but it will take a while to pick up pace.
@@AyaTeien I've actually seen all of those. Ergo Proxy I didn't really like. A lot of the episodes post episode 3 feel like drudgery. The show has cool ideas and character designs, not to mention an astonishingly beautiful opening song that I still listen to this day. But as an anime I didn't feel like I enjoyed it as a complete package. I feel like I would have enjoyed a manga of this anime's world more than the actual show. Haibane Renmei, Lain and Wolf's Rain were enjoyable with Lain being the most confusing but that's what I liked about it. It was intriguing to try and figure out the meaning of what I was seeing each episode and trying to understand the story. Wolf's Rain was a bit slow at times and I struggle to remember the general idea of the show but I did watch it a long time ago.
@@G0blin_Darts Ergo Proxy can be pretentious, I agree, but the ending made it worth it. Although the show totally loses it's feeling somewhere along the way. Like the entire vibe you signed up for in the first few episodes dies quickly for a fever dream of surrealism. Still, I enjoyed it. Oh man, most of the music from Monoral is so good. It's a shame they stopped making albums. There isn't much else as forlorn as Texhnolyze, honestly, but it also suffers a bit from pretention near the end. I often wonder if I'd like it the same way I did then, if I watched it over today. I did watch an interesting show semi-recently called Denno Coil. Totally unexpected from the images I saw. Oh, also Heavenly Delusion. Actually the latter was so good that I've considered reading the manga just because I'm desperate for another season.
Mmm, there isn't much dialogue. It's like pure, unbridled emotion. The ending isn't very sweet, so I suppose it reminds you that not everything, as in real life, turns out for the best.
This song perfectly encapsulates the deep sorrow of a catholic monarchist observing the modern world - its shallowness, its soullessness... will all graces of God forever frown upon the shame of man? It reminds me of Nietzche's "God is dead" text: "God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him. How shall we comfort ourselves, the murderers of all murderers? What was holiest and mightiest of all that the world has yet owned has bled to death under our knives: who will wipe this blood off us? What water is there for us to clean ourselves? What festivals of atonement, what sacred games shall we have to invent? Is not the greatness of this deed too great for us? Must we ourselves not become gods simply to appear worthy of it?"
Wolf's Rain and Ergo Proxy are also a favorites, although Wolf's Rain is more nostalgic for me. I suppose the thing that relates them all is the destruction of one old world and the creation of another. Save that Texhnolyze isn't so forgiving.
I did not regret losing hours of sleep to finish this lastnight although ig i can say i wasnt expecting that ending , i still found it suitable for a show unique like texhnolyze.. man was i stuck in my thoughts thinking how deep this show really was considering that the message portrays that death should be accepted with open arms and finding purpose in life
Death should be accepted? What I got was that humanity needs to accept its violent tendencies, because in trying to "evolve" into purely passive beings we would lose what makes us human. Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind (the manga not the film) has a similar message.
There was something aesthetically disgusting about the people who lost their bodies to become immortal "shapes" but I felt this was left tonally ambiguous, while the original separation of humans into one society of passivity and one of aggression was clearly condemned.
@@AyaTeienYea, i even have both of these anime on my watch list for a while now lol. Btw you have a really good anime taste, you dont see that often anymore in the community especially now were almost everyone is only watching isekai/harem and shonen anime with zero plot.
@@SoussiAfif thank you for the suggestion i know why you tell me watch ergo proxy because it's very similar to this anime, I watched ergo proxy before texhnolyze
To be completely honest, I didn't like Texhnolyze very much. I loved the first ten or so episodes, but I really hated where they took it from there. I feel like a lot of questions that should have been left to the audience were answered poorly, like how Onishi hearing the city's voice was really Ran. I also felt like the antagonist's motivations weren't super fleshed out and just generally didn't like it after the halfway point. That said, it really does have a fantastic soundtrack. I keep listening to it despite my feelings about the show itself.
Regarding Ichise's motivation, he doesn't really have any outside of Ran, and this makes sense for his character. Onishi rightfully identifies Ichise as a wild animal. Ichise gets taken advantage of by Doc once she's given the go-ahead to Texhnolyze him, and he finds himself easily manipulated as a result, even up until the end when he loses all power whatsoever. By the time the end rolls around, he's just a dog with a dead master.
Really? I liked it all the way through, I thought the episodes where they explore the surface were probably the most interesting out of the entire show and the way they ended the story of the city of lux was extremely fitting and concluded the story in the best way it possibly could.
Maybe the mid-section was weaker comparatively but it honestly felt pretty consistent all the way through and the final 4-5 episodes were suberbly brilliant.
Can anybody help me change The things that I see? so cool how the lyrics tie into the show. Like how Ran cannot cope with the future she sees for yoshii, ichise, and the entire world.
Wasn't there a wish
Wasn't there a dream
Somewhere?
Wasn't there a world
One with better days
Waiting for us out there
Somewhere?
Wasn't there
Something sacred
Something to give us hope?
Are there still miracles?
Or will all the graces of God
Forever fall to the shame
Of man?
Can anybody help me change
The things that I see?
If I could make wish
If I could find a dream
Somewhere
If there was a world
One with different days
Waiting for us somewhere
Out there
If there was a light
Something sacred
Something to give hope
Would we find miracles?
Or would the faces above
Forever frown upon the shame
Of man?
Can anybody help me change

I feel like listening to this song every once in a while, whenever I'm feeling down.
If you split reality into two extremes, that would be Texhnolyze.
It's like the Eloi and Morlochs, if they were both suicidal.

I didn't like the lack of color at the start, but now i realize it helped set the depressing setting and fits perfectly.

Such a wonderfully beautiful, lamentable song. My fave off the ost
This song reflects upon how terrible, cruel, and yet sad the world in Texhnolyze is.
I really does. The anime was surreal and difficult at times, but harbored so much emotion.
And so ours is.

right.
why is it?
this lyrics is how i feel now.
Uno de los mejores animes más infravalorados que vi, una pena ya no se ven historias como estas
This anime is on par with monster,wolfs rain,requiem no phantom,ergo proxy.

Its from the OST of the Anime Texhnolyze :)

hope everybodies doing well
