anime name: Maquia: When the Promised Flower Blooms i cry a lot of times when editing Maquia's tribe think that meeting new people always leads to sad goodbyes. They also believe that falling in love will make them feel completely alone. Over the years, Maquia meets many people and experiences goodbyes. She finds a different answer to the tribe's fears. She learns that keeping memories means you're never really alone. She also learns that as long as you remember someone, their story never really ends.
For those who will watching Maquia, get ready yourselves for the heart wrenching moments of this movie. My heart shattered into pieces in the ending. It's so heartbreaking and it will make you cry.
This anime is just a fantasy not an isekai. Isekai is when a character from world 1 goes to world 2. The characters stayed in their own world so it's not isekai.
I don’t think maquia had a crush on Krim personally, I think she cried because her 2 friends found happiness and peace with each other and she still felt all alone
It was hinted at the start that Maquia has a crush on Krim, but her tears that night wasn't just because of Krim and Lilia love for each other... When Krim and Lilia went back to their parents, it was hinted that Maquia is an orphan, while the Elder was her guardian.
@@stormy5452well it is a tiny bit sexist, but nonetheless, it is also amazing and wholesome, with actual characters, good animation, and good story. Its like something u just cant really hate, maybe sort of dislike at best, but thats it.
For real the title is like a very minor subplot. The overall themes of this movie are WAY beyond that. I cried so much and I’m not even a mother but I’m still a woman
Dang too many tragedies in that anime. Girl A : 1. kidnapped, 2. forced to birth a child, 3. never allowed to meet/bond with her child, 4. final parting with her true love because she desperately wants to save her daughter, 5. the daughter she gave everything up for has no recollection of her.. Absolutely tragic. Girl B: 1. her lover falls for her bestfriend, 2. she is stranded from her homeland, 3. hardships of a mom / cant find work, 4. witnesses the death of her son. Boy C: 1. his lover and kidnapped and forced to birth a baby, 2. she chooses a child over him (which he cant understand due to lacking parental instincts), 3. his tragic murder while hopelessly alone. I mean this feels more tragic then a shakespearean story lol. Interesting how all fo this was weaved into one story of pain and grief, and that ultimately no one got to stay with the person they loved the most. All of them just felt pain in the end but had no choice but to let time heal them (if they were lucky enough to live). Interesting plot for sure.
Sorry but I don’t have sympathy for Krim in that situation, they could have gotten the medmel and tried to escape, he was selfish to not understand Leilia’s love for her child and to expect her to just forget about her daughter
I don't think witnessing Ariel's death was tragic. It was a natural death at an old age after having a family and happy life. That was the best ending for her son who wasn't immortal.
@@OneExos-pk4czyou could say that his death was the nature of life and he technically lived a good life, but that doesn’t change the fact that maquia lost someone very dear to her; someone she raised from infant to adult and loved very much, despite their troubles. she’d never embrace him ever again. death and loss is still heartwrenching, no matter the circumstances
i dont think krim was ever maquia’s lover, i don’t even think it was ever explicitly confirmed if she had a crush on him. she was very alone at the time because she had no family nor lover so it would have been more plausible for her to cry from loneliness when seeing krim and leilia (she might have thought she was being left behind)
That is the primary reason why I don't like most anime. Attack on Titan is the only one that I would consider watching. Other than that, it's nothing but Violence Jack types for me.
This kinda misleading. Maquia looks 15, because she's is exactly 15yo by the start of the movie. But the older woman like the elder and the girl who got forced to marry the prince looks 20+yo
@@Alex-tm4dw Bro, did you even watch the movie? There are a lot of adults in her hometown even the elder looks 25+. The MC looks like a kid because she's still a kid. This video is very misleading.
My older sister watched this alone then gathered us up and insisted that we watch it together, this movie made my mom and I cry many tissues were used, my little sister however was made of stronger stuff. I’m pretty sure if she watches it again the future when she’s older it’ll hit her different for sure.
Your little sister is probably just too young to understand the deep feelings of a mother towards her child. Show it to her when she's older. Then she'll truly understand.
It was supposed to be that way since the pov of the movie is from the Iorph's. This is how they view time You can search the director's interview and someone asked her why the movie barely noted about the timeskips
15:03 that's not a hibiol she weave for him, but the one that she cradled him in as part of the Iorph hibiol from the hibiol tower when he was a small baby ("palace" as its called in this video), one of the pieces that got tangled and torn off by the crazed dragon. The hibiol in that tower serves to record their history as a whole.
I feel like I'm strange for not finding stories like this enjoyable. I understand the messages it's conveying; it's important to enjoy the time we have with each other, life is forever changing, better to experience love and friendship than to live a life without... but it's so bittersweet and sad. My real life has been filled with moments similar to the ones in this movie, I've been dealt bad hands in life many times (as have others), but I don't enjoy or want to re-live those painful experiences. I don't like reflecting on how needlessly cruel life is, why can't we have stories that reflect on the rare times in life that things go well? Not necessarily like perfect fairytale endings, just those victories we're sometimes afforded.
The premise is fine, but the plot leaves something to be desired. I think the movie could have used some Ghibli charm in both the storytelling and the art. Alternatively it should have been a 12 episode season so that each time period had more development.
I don't think you're wrong for not enjoying this movie. It may have its beauties, but that doesn't exactly mean it increases the desireability of rewatching it. For example, City of God was a great movie about a dude growing up in a gang and poverty ridden Brazilian slum. But I wouldn't view a second of that again, because that made me feel miserable. And this movie appears to have been a massive tragedy. Furthermore, I'm gonna say it, cause no else here will: Krim gets cucked to death. Thats his entire life and role in this movie. I have a fan theory that he gets reincarnated as the hermaphroditic angel Krim from Interspecies Reviewers. Because thats the only compensation I could think of him getting, for the massive "L" his life was in this film.
I feel the same about movies and novels from my home country. Ours is a relatively poor country and the only good films are filled with sadness, unfairness of life and death. Books too. I'm a doctor so I experience these horrible realities on a daily basis. So I don't want to watch things with overwhelming sadness and defeat as a hobby. I stay away from these kind of movies now
This is one of the masterpiece that keep me crying through the movie. Family's love,pain of leaving, fear of death and happiness of life. I can't describe it that why i still crying everytime i watch this movie.
I cried a lot watching this movie, and I may the only one to say this... But I feel extra bad for Krim. He was so desperate to make thing be the way they where he never understood Maquia and Leila feelings, and that lead him to his death. The way he said "why did time have to move?" really hurted, he just wanted that simple and happy life before the humans raid on his clan. I know this feeling so well, I know how is to have this fierce desire for things to be back the way they were, especially after a terrible tragedy. However, that's not how life works. His development on the movie shows us what happen when one is so stubbornly stuck in the past. The endless searc for things that aren't anymore will only lead to never get what can be on today. He could had been on that dragon with Maquia and Leila at the end, finally free to live with the woman he loves and re-build their clan, but his blindness doomed him to an ending where he not only dies, he is also completly alone and submerge in sadness. I feel bad for him, not because of his death, but because I know that was purely a consequence of his own actions and choices. And is sad to see someone refusing to let go and drowing themselves bc of that.
I watch this movie every year, since 2018 I still love this movie so much That's why I wish there's more anime with this kinda theme. The whole ambiance reminds me of Genshin's Mondstadt a little, and the music is top notch Also F. Y. I Maquia didn't have a crush on Krim She was sad because the prospect of her two friends becoming a couple makes her lonely The whole theme of the movie is loneliness and you could see how that plays out on each character (especially Krim)
I heard about this movie sometime ago, but man didn't think it was like this 🥺 I have a soft spot for family, they are my most treasured thing in this world. The fact that one day me, my parents, and my siblings all gonna go our separate ways just makes me sad. The fact that all of us will part ways from this world is just depressing. This movie truly reminded me all of this. I am crying right now 😭.
The nice thing about growing old is that you and your siblings can still be family. It's just choosing to be in each other's lives and to be close instead of being forced to. I have a wonderful relationship to my brothers. We are all adults now and live separately, but we are still close. One day we'll lose each other but like the hibial, we'll carry each other's memories and weave them into our own loved ones who will carry us with them. And that is important
A phrase I came across some time ago that I find comforting is, "It's never enough time, but you still had it." That is, you can accept that you'll always long for more time with those you love, while also appreciating the time you do have with them. Knowing it will never be enough helps me appreciate every moment I have with family and friends as a priceless, irreplaceable gem. I'd much rather have had a finite amount of love than none at all ;D
I must say I understand you dude, I truly do. I also have soft spot for family and love them more then even myself, so when something happens to them, especially somthing bad, my heart breaks and soul weep. If I could stop the time when I was little (six or seven years old) and I have the most happy times with my family I would do it already. Truly I would like to stay with my entire family forever. But I know that in mortal world it won't be quiet possible, as time passes and people age. Because of that I tresure every little moment that I have with my family and engrave them in my heart. But being a religious person I belive and have hope that when the time will come,and I will have to let go of my mortal shell, I will meet again with my WHOLE family (I mean both my biological family and also my best friends that become part of said family) in the pure and eternal land of Heaven where I will have enternity for them. So ending my emotional ramble few advicec: 1. Tresure your family (no metter if biological or not) as it is your gratest tresure in this mortal world. 2. Live a good life so in the end you could feel pride instead of shame. 3. Avoid evil things that could and will corrup your life, in the end destroing it. And last 4th advice: Have a little faith (I don't mean here that you should become a devote, but instead have this little hope even if would like a pointless thing, that in the end you will meet with your loved ones again. It will give you just enough streangh to push forword.) Thats all of my emotional rambling, and giving advicec. The only thing left to say is that: Good day and good night wherever you are. 😉
Way back 2019 I watched this anime and I've just had a ectopic pregnancy operation.... I cried bunch of tears .... Every mom probably could understand how sad that felt
I've watched this many times and still cry 😔 i love it so much, but its hard to watch medmil being deemed as useless by her father's side and was denied to see her mother 😢
Mari Okada is the true queen of drama story, even the King, Makoto Shinkai, got "jealous" of this story. I really wish both of them create a beautiful anime together one day that could make the entire studio theater drown in tears
I actually wrote a story a loooong time ago with a similar premise of a girl with an orphan boy she raises that grows old and eventually passes away while she still looked 12. Of course I never got to publishing it, but it makes me cry seeing the premise and how emotional it is, especially in a different representation/story.
It's not to late to publish it. You can always have your own spin to it. I've written stories too and strangely some other medium gets it created before I could publish it. Keep trying. You can make the immortal stop aging at 20 instead of looking like a teen, for the sake that most teens have it harder to get work.
This was the only show in my 22 years of living that really made me cry so hard, after the crying session it was so red and inflammed i can barely see anything. This story changed something in me, it was incredible. It is not a perfect show and has many flaws but it is worth giving a try.
This anime is slice of life in a heartbreaking way. I cried so much. It was beautiful. It's about motherhood, love, harsh reality in the background of a beautiful fantasy world with lots of war. Life isn't fair.
That's the point nothing is fair in her story line war, love, time. These were all the things that created rifts between the characters that ultimately were insurmountable and all they could do was move on.
I just lost my dog and decided to watch this because of this video. It was just what I needed to release some emotions and help with part of my process. I love when you find a piece of media at the right time for it to hit you the hardest. And this is now added to that library for me
No cap I thought this wouldn't make me cry, and while reading the comments people weren't kidding.. holy fuck it made me balled my eyes out after watching the ending.. lord have mercy. VIEWERS BEWARE THE FEELS WILL HIT HARD.
UA-cam randomly recommended this, and now I know what I’m going to find and watch online later! I think, just from what the review mentions, that Maquia’s experiences can be equated to owning and loving a pet, for humans, or at least, that is one way to understand it. We aren’t immortal in the same way, but we do become the “parent”, and then companion of a creature we love deeply, and as much as we grieve when we lose them, most of us choose to keep going with sharing our lives with them. Obviously, with other human like beings, things are more complex, particularly in terms of timespan, but as a rough understanding, I think it works okay as an analogy.m Obviously, there’s the aspect of living and losing another person, particularly a child, but that sense of outliving your own “baby” really makes me think of animals I’ve loved, raised and lost, since we don’t typically lose our children in this day and age, and when we do, it’s rare enough that we’re rightfully horrified by the tragedy.
As someone full time in college and full time work.. thank you so much for these videos.. i love anime but dont have the time to watch them anymore.. thank you for giving me this ❤
I watched this and honestly was crying soo badly I didn't watch it anymore, but I have some clips because watching these beautiful movies can make you think too much and even feel like you are in it and start to cry because it's just how life is reflected with vibrant colors and makes it much more real when you see it in another perspective.
I cried on ending. She gave him her years, he was a newborn ,child, young adult, adult, old and he died . She move on and start life ,again. Beautiful story ❤️
I called my mom after watching it and I could barely talk I was crying so hard. All I could get out was, "She broke her promise!" 😭This anime would murder my brother if he watched it. Anything about being a parent kills him.
@KarlltheBarrl the thing is I went into it blind. There wasn't a channel telling me it was sad. I thought it was going to be about a girl adopting a baby and maybe an adventure against the bad guys. Nope, never go into a drama blind.
@@Ieatpaste23 me neither! Like, I was looking for something to watch since I was bored, and saw that. “Hm, that looks cool to watch.” *a whole movie later* “**WhY IS iT sO sAddDZdZddd!!??!?**” AND it was at, like, 4 am and I was pulling and all nighter so it was absolutely terrible (the movie was great) the after math
I'm glad I somehow missed this one, just the review made me cry. Wolf Children broke me for hours after, so this would do even worse to me since she watches her child die (even if old age peacefully that's heartbreaking)
This really pains me to watch. Knowing the type of relationship I have with my mother and that she is aging, I somehow feel like I am becoming the burden of this family.
I put this on one night a few years ago after cramming to finish an assignment before the deadline thinking I would be able to relax and fall asleep to it… nope. felt like I lived an entire life between the start and the ending of this movie. I had never cried because of an animated scene before this movie.
I loved the idea behind the movie so much that i had to steal it and throw it into an own story around immortality and slavery However I feel like a bunch of heavy themes got left out or ignored. Like how nobody really tried to revolt out of the Iorph. How Leila or what her name was got abused for ages. How they got kidnapped at all. Like sure, they (Maquia) had to make the best she could out of it but why was she so submissive to all of this? I would have wished a more insightful ending to be honest. Nobody really talked with each other.
Thanks for letting me know about this anime. I really love story with immortality/long-lived theme. They stir up my heart in a way that no other theme had. It griefs me when everyone left the immortal character and he/she could only continue to live through it. But all the beautiful memories they had spend outweight the sadness of it. These kind of stories make me sad, but also giving me reason to continue to live, to cherish every moment of it.
Yeah, but I have a feeling Krim would’ve pressured or shamed her for wanting to keep the child rather than abandoning it even if she had ran away the first time
@@DelRae True, the fact that he didn't want Leilia to take her child with them shows a lot what kind of person he really is... It wasn't the child's fault, it was the invader kingdom's fault she was forced to give birth. But i agree on Leilia being an idiot, she left her child in the end leaving her to fend for herself without knowing who her mother is.
This was an unexpectedly beautiful and heavy story that I had never heard of, and it’s crazy that I can say that from only having watched a UA-cam recap of it.
I watched this movie a couple years ago, and vividly remember my seemingly endless sob session. I clicked this thinking that a recap wouldn't bring me to tears and boy was I wrong T^T
I've never seen this one, but I love anime like this. What a great find today. Thank you for the tears and the new memories I will be looking forward to.❤
I saw the movie because of this, and I have to say that this was one of the most beautiful movies I've ever seen. It has so many layers to it, from freedom to motherhood, to greed. I highly recommend you watch it. I have never cried so hard with a character before, much less an animated one
I haven't even watched this anime but hearing this recap is making me cry cause maybe I am too emotional when it comes to the love of single mothers to their children
This film is one of the only only anime films that made me cry. I have never cried as much as I did when watching this movie and the only movies I’ve cried are just normal movies and I’m glad I watched it.
I almost forgot about this movie, having watched it once a few years ago. Came across this video and felt myself getting choked up again, just watching this recap video.
i bought his movie here on youtube , need to rewatch it again at some point . one of the best animations ive ever seen . super tragic story from waht i remember
But not wholly without joy and hope. The MC ultimately realizes that her mortal friends and family help give her life meaning and value. She learns to accept that along with the sadness of their passing.
i love it i cry so many times and slime many time.. its the true mother's love for their children❤ i wish even tho this anime is now gone i wish she still live a peacefull live, no war no more people dying,just peace... and i wish i could have a peacefull live...
I know many people like this anime and swear by it but when I watched it, it just like an intentional tear jerker which I don't appreciate and I couldn't make sense of the story coherency. I like emotional story like that one episode of Evergarden where the mother writting letters, Koe no Katachi, Somali to Mori, etc. but this movie is for me the same as Kimi no Nawa where I feel the story is too forced. Maybe I need to watch it again Idk, someday maybe.
Now this is what a true underrated movie. fun fact: Makoto Shinkai even tweeted about this movie that he envy it a little bit. And it was because of that tweet I watched this masterpiece. I'm quite of a Makoto Shinkai fan and I thank him for that 👌And I suggest to stop watching this video and just watch the movie instead. This anime is actually my personal #1 ❤ I was crying buckets watching this masterpiece.
This was one of the best movies I have ever watched in my life I cried like a baby!!!! Some movies you’re just meant to watch and I felt like I was meant to watch this movie❤ ❤

Wasn't it confirmed outright she did? Every other mention about the film states that she outright did have a crush on him.

Even if they don't mention it, it's quite obvious she had a crush on him.

He could had been on that dragon with Maquia and Leila at the end, finally free to live with the woman he loves and re-build their clan, but his blindness doomed him to an ending where he not only dies, he is also completly alone and submerge in sadness.
I feel bad for him, not because of his death, but because I know that was purely a consequence of his own actions and choices. And is sad to see someone refusing to let go and drowing themselves bc of that.
title is misleading, but the story is tragic 😢
I watch this movie every year, since 2018
I still love this movie so much
That's why I wish there's more anime with this kinda theme. The whole ambiance reminds me of Genshin's Mondstadt a little, and the music is top notch
Also
F. Y. I
Maquia didn't have a crush on Krim
She was sad because the prospect of her two friends becoming a couple makes her lonely
The whole theme of the movie is loneliness and you could see how that plays out on each character (especially Krim)
I heard about this movie sometime ago, but man didn't think it was like this 🥺
I have a soft spot for family, they are my most treasured thing in this world. The fact that one day me, my parents, and my siblings all gonna go our separate ways just makes me sad. The fact that all of us will part ways from this world is just depressing. This movie truly reminded me all of this. I am crying right now 😭.
The nice thing about growing old is that you and your siblings can still be family. It's just choosing to be in each other's lives and to be close instead of being forced to. I have a wonderful relationship to my brothers. We are all adults now and live separately, but we are still close. One day we'll lose each other but like the hibial, we'll carry each other's memories and weave them into our own loved ones who will carry us with them. And that is important
A phrase I came across some time ago that I find comforting is, "It's never enough time, but you still had it." That is, you can accept that you'll always long for more time with those you love, while also appreciating the time you do have with them. Knowing it will never be enough helps me appreciate every moment I have with family and friends as a priceless, irreplaceable gem. I'd much rather have had a finite amount of love than none at all ;D
I must say I understand you dude, I truly do. I also have soft spot for family and love them more then even myself, so when something happens to them, especially somthing bad, my heart breaks and soul weep. If I could stop the time when I was little (six or seven years old) and I have the most happy times with my family I would do it already. Truly I would like to stay with my entire family forever. But I know that in mortal world it won't be quiet possible, as time passes and people age. Because of that I tresure every little moment that I have with my family and engrave them in my heart. But being a religious person I belive and have hope that when the time will come,and I will have to let go of my mortal shell, I will meet again with my WHOLE family (I mean both my biological family and also my best friends that become part of said family) in the pure and eternal land of Heaven where I will have enternity for them. So ending my emotional ramble few advicec:
1. Tresure your family (no metter if biological or not) as it is your gratest tresure in this mortal world.
2. Live a good life so in the end you could feel pride instead of shame.
3. Avoid evil things that could and will corrup your life, in the end destroing it.
And last 4th advice: Have a little faith (I don't mean here that you should become a devote, but instead have this little hope even if would like a pointless thing, that in the end you will meet with your loved ones again. It will give you just enough streangh to push forword.)
Thats all of my emotional rambling, and giving advicec. The only thing left to say is that:
Good day and good night wherever you are. 😉
Movie Name: " Maqia: When the flowers blossom"
Note: So damn good reflection on how much a mother's love is 🤧
Way back 2019 I watched this anime and I've just had a ectopic pregnancy operation....
I cried bunch of tears ....
Every mom probably could understand how sad that felt
I've watched this many times and still cry 😔 i love it so much, but its hard to watch medmil being deemed as useless by her father's side and was denied to see her mother 😢
Where can I watch this
Mari Okada is the true queen of drama story, even the King, Makoto Shinkai, got "jealous" of this story. I really wish both of them create a beautiful anime together one day that could make the entire studio theater drown in tears
I actually wrote a story a loooong time ago with a similar premise of a girl with an orphan boy she raises that grows old and eventually passes away while she still looked 12. Of course I never got to publishing it, but it makes me cry seeing the premise and how emotional it is, especially in a different representation/story.
You should go and publish it!
@@ZM-et7ztyes!!!
It's not to late to publish it. You can always have your own spin to it. I've written stories too and strangely some other medium gets it created before I could publish it.
Keep trying. You can make the immortal stop aging at 20 instead of looking like a teen, for the sake that most teens have it harder to get work.
ooooh, please publish it, i would love to read it
This was the only show in my 22 years of living that really made me cry so hard, after the crying session it was so red and inflammed i can barely see anything. This story changed something in me, it was incredible. It is not a perfect show and has many flaws but it is worth giving a try.
This anime is slice of life in a heartbreaking way. I cried so much. It was beautiful. It's about motherhood, love, harsh reality in the background of a beautiful fantasy world with lots of war. Life isn't fair.
What they did to the daughter is unfair, at least talk to her!
That's the point nothing is fair in her story line war, love, time. These were all the things that created rifts between the characters that ultimately were insurmountable and all they could do was move on.
The only thing they shared was blood no memories no experiences no love
It is unfair, but that is rather the point.
The daughter had no connection or memory to her, it’s sad but it’s over at that point
@@CrystalRose1111 Even sadder the daughter looked like she wanted to meet and get to know her mother.
I wasn't expecting to cry but wow I'm sobbing ... I really didn't expect this from the video title.
Same! 😭😭💖
I just lost my dog and decided to watch this because of this video. It was just what I needed to release some emotions and help with part of my process.
I love when you find a piece of media at the right time for it to hit you the hardest. And this is now added to that library for me
I watched the film once when it was free on Amazon Prime, it’s an absolutely beautiful story.
No cap I thought this wouldn't make me cry, and while reading the comments people weren't kidding.. holy fuck it made me balled my eyes out after watching the ending.. lord have mercy. VIEWERS BEWARE THE FEELS WILL HIT HARD.
This is my favroite anime of all time... I have deep connection to it. Seen it when first came out it is my favvvv
Watched this anime film when it came out in the cinemas, it made me emotional then, it still makes me emotional now.
I decided to watch this movie one time before bed and I cried so bad for like an hour after watching it because I can kind of relate with Maquia
I highly recommend this movie to anyone, anime lover or not! It’s deeply touching and very beautiful.
UA-cam randomly recommended this, and now I know what I’m going to find and watch online later!
I think, just from what the review mentions, that Maquia’s experiences can be equated to owning and loving a pet, for humans, or at least, that is one way to understand it. We aren’t immortal in the same way, but we do become the “parent”, and then companion of a creature we love deeply, and as much as we grieve when we lose them, most of us choose to keep going with sharing our lives with them. Obviously, with other human like beings, things are more complex, particularly in terms of timespan, but as a rough understanding, I think it works okay as an analogy.m
Obviously, there’s the aspect of living and losing another person, particularly a child, but that sense of outliving your own “baby” really makes me think of animals I’ve loved, raised and lost, since we don’t typically lose our children in this day and age, and when we do, it’s rare enough that we’re rightfully horrified by the tragedy.

This movie literally makes you sob your eyes out! Life is precious & moves on so quickly...
As someone full time in college and full time work.. thank you so much for these videos.. i love anime but dont have the time to watch them anymore.. thank you for giving me this ❤
I cried, everyone. So sad, so lovely. Going through motherhood myself and it hit home.
I watched this and honestly was crying soo badly I didn't watch it anymore, but I have some clips because watching these beautiful movies can make you think too much and even feel like you are in it and start to cry because it's just how life is reflected with vibrant colors and makes it much more real when you see it in another perspective.
I cried on ending. She gave him her years, he was a newborn ,child, young adult, adult, old and he died . She move on and start life ,again. Beautiful story ❤️
I'm tearing up 😢 and this is just the short version. Thank you, JoJo Anime. I imagine how hard it was to edit this.
i watched this anime and bawled because i'll be longer lived than my pets, just like folks from the clan of partings.
Just by watching this of this anime for the first time I already fell into tears 😭😭😭😭😭
as much expected for story wrote by drama queen Mari Okada, her work along with Makoto Shinkai always felt different 😊😊
At the end when the Mc is walking away from the house and the memories start to play I started cry SO HARD!😢
I called my mom after watching it and I could barely talk I was crying so hard. All I could get out was, "She broke her promise!" 😭This anime would murder my brother if he watched it. Anything about being a parent kills him.
@@Ieatpaste23 Im way to emotional for this stuff😂 But its so GOOODDDDD!
@KarlltheBarrl the thing is I went into it blind. There wasn't a channel telling me it was sad. I thought it was going to be about a girl adopting a baby and maybe an adventure against the bad guys. Nope, never go into a drama blind.
@@Ieatpaste23 me neither! Like, I was looking for something to watch since I was bored, and saw that. “Hm, that looks cool to watch.”
*a whole movie later*
“**WhY IS iT sO sAddDZdZddd!!??!?**”
AND it was at, like, 4 am and I was pulling and all nighter so it was absolutely terrible (the movie was great) the after math
The most bitter-sweet anime ever.
This made me cry hard fr. I consider this is as the best anime movie. I always recommend it to my friends who are new to watching anime
i cannot count how many times i cry when i watch this at first time, this was such a worth and heartwarming movie to watch...
I'm glad I somehow missed this one, just the review made me cry. Wolf Children broke me for hours after, so this would do even worse to me since she watches her child die (even if old age peacefully that's heartbreaking)
Oh my god what a rollercoaster of emotions
This really pains me to watch. Knowing the type of relationship I have with my mother and that she is aging, I somehow feel like I am becoming the burden of this family.
I have cried in the begenning and the ending because it was so beautiful
Film seems good but has too many plot threads unanswered
I put this on one night a few years ago after cramming to finish an assignment before the deadline thinking I would be able to relax and fall asleep to it… nope.
felt like I lived an entire life between the start and the ending of this movie. I had never cried because of an animated scene before this movie.
I loved the idea behind the movie so much that i had to steal it and throw it into an own story around immortality and slavery
However
I feel like a bunch of heavy themes got left out or ignored. Like how nobody really tried to revolt out of the Iorph. How Leila or what her name was got abused for ages. How they got kidnapped at all. Like sure, they (Maquia) had to make the best she could out of it but why was she so submissive to all of this? I would have wished a more insightful ending to be honest. Nobody really talked with each other.
Thanks for letting me know about this anime. I really love story with immortality/long-lived theme. They stir up my heart in a way that no other theme had. It griefs me when everyone left the immortal character and he/she could only continue to live through it. But all the beautiful memories they had spend outweight the sadness of it. These kind of stories make me sad, but also giving me reason to continue to live, to cherish every moment of it.
When that "OKAASAN" came out, man the feels just hit.
This movie is so great holyyy
My late mother would have loved this movie, it has a certain kind of sadness people find a connection with romantic but sexual almost.
So, Krim died in complete vain because Leilia is an idiot, and Leilia could have raised her kid herself if she had run away the first time.
Yeah, but I have a feeling Krim would’ve pressured or shamed her for wanting to keep the child rather than abandoning it even if she had ran away the first time
Brain dead take
@@DelRae True, the fact that he didn't want Leilia to take her child with them shows a lot what kind of person he really is... It wasn't the child's fault, it was the invader kingdom's fault she was forced to give birth.
But i agree on Leilia being an idiot, she left her child in the end leaving her to fend for herself without knowing who her mother is.
@@Moa_Smugshe idiot becouse she accept be abused, but when she escapedshe become awake
I watched this last year and the ending broke me I sobbed so bad my eyes were puffed up the next day you would taught I had an allergic reaction
This was an unexpectedly beautiful and heavy story that I had never heard of, and it’s crazy that I can say that from only having watched a UA-cam recap of it.
I watched this movie a couple years ago, and vividly remember my seemingly endless sob session. I clicked this thinking that a recap wouldn't bring me to tears and boy was I wrong T^T
I've never seen this one, but I love anime like this. What a great find today. Thank you for the tears and the new memories I will be looking forward to.❤
What a misleading video title, this show looks really good
The ending is so wholesome and sad. The pain of mother ouliving son :'(
I saw the movie because of this, and I have to say that this was one of the most beautiful movies I've ever seen. It has so many layers to it, from freedom to motherhood, to greed. I highly recommend you watch it. I have never cried so hard with a character before, much less an animated one
This is one of the best and beautifully written tragic story that i have ever seen.
Watched this a few years back. It’s definitely up there for me as one of the best anime I’ve watched
Just the summary made me sad. This movie looks amazing. I'm definitely gonna watch it.
I watched this movie and then asked my mom to watch it with me. Her comment on it was: they are crying all the time.
I felt... A bit bad.
I haven't even watched this anime but hearing this recap is making me cry cause maybe I am too emotional when it comes to the love of single mothers to their children
The movie made me cry so hard. I never cried so much in my life.
This film is one of the only only anime films that made me cry. I have never cried as much as I did when watching this movie and the only movies I’ve cried are just normal movies and I’m glad I watched it.
i havent watched it yet but i can confirm i will cry 100 times
Title of this video is so wrong for this movie.
My mother, who always fell asleep watching anime movies, watched Maquia from start to finish and even cried.
I was thinking about this movie yesterday haven't watch it in a while I will today after work.
I almost forgot about this movie, having watched it once a few years ago. Came across this video and felt myself getting choked up again, just watching this recap video.
i bought his movie here on youtube , need to rewatch it again at some point . one of the best animations ive ever seen . super tragic story from waht i remember
I did not expect myself to cry at this
One thing learned, it is always worth it to love
Watched this 4yrs ago this is a masterpiece
What a tragic tale!
But not wholly without joy and hope. The MC ultimately realizes that her mortal friends and family help give her life meaning and value. She learns to accept that along with the sadness of their passing.
Akihiko Yoshida artstyle is so beautiful
Very beautiful yest tear dropping anime for me
This made me cry towards the end… 😢
After 5 years i still cry 😢😢😢
Rewatching this.
Watch this completely blinded, I cried my eyes out
The people in this comment section need major therapy like holy sht. 😂😂😂
i love it i cry so many times
and slime many time..
its the true mother's love for their children❤
i wish even tho this anime is now gone i wish she still live a peacefull live, no war no more people dying,just peace...
and i wish i could have a peacefull live...
Not gonna lie I bawled my eyes out by the end of it
I think this should be named Maquia: The tragedy.
Thank you for doing this summery.
I remember cried my eyes out watching this years ago and promised myself to never rewatch this but here i am.....
I know many people like this anime and swear by it but when I watched it, it just like an intentional tear jerker which I don't appreciate and I couldn't make sense of the story coherency. I like emotional story like that one episode of Evergarden where the mother writting letters, Koe no Katachi, Somali to Mori, etc. but this movie is for me the same as Kimi no Nawa where I feel the story is too forced. Maybe I need to watch it again Idk, someday maybe.
This was the first anime movie I've seen, man it made my cry for the whole night
those 16 mins. made me cry hard..😭
Now this is what a true underrated movie.
fun fact: Makoto Shinkai even tweeted about this movie that he envy it a little bit.
And it was because of that tweet I watched this masterpiece.
I'm quite of a Makoto Shinkai fan and I thank him for that 👌And I suggest to stop watching this video and just watch the movie instead.
This anime is actually my personal #1 ❤
I was crying buckets watching this masterpiece.
I’m a huge fan of Makoto Shinkai’s works! I guess you would recommend me to watch this movie? I can’t find good anime movies to watch recently 😓
Wow this ànima is amazing 🎉❤
This was one of the best movies I have ever watched in my life I cried like a baby!!!! Some movies you’re just meant to watch and I felt like I was meant to watch this movie❤ ❤
