    Very beautiful video. I miss my old teachers. Some, or even just one, was especially memorable, had a really good attitude towards us kids, told many stories, wasn't so uptight, wasn't strict, ... he was from an earlier generation. Older than most other teachers. He was a little like the story telling grandpa that I never had in my childhood. He also has long since passed away, and I have nothing to remember him by, except that we both loved the movie 'Ronja the dobbers daughter' very much, and the whole class watched it when he brought it to school one day. RIP Lindenburger. You were a really special, really good teacher.

    Johnny you're like a living historical piece of study. I was born 88' and didn't caught much from the 80's but i'am really into 80's culture and art. Listening to you talking about your life during the 80's is really interresting to me. Because i know it only from pictures or movies. To hear someone talking about how it was back then is mindblowing. Even more so because you were into the same stuff as me now.

    You are a gem, Johnny. Such an intimate video to share with your fans. This is why I'm subscribed and watch all your videos, just for a glimpse at the Happy Console Gamer you truly are.
    Edit: Just a little proof of how much we love you this video has an 8% like to view ratio. I compared to some other channels where they have more of a 1% ratio. Fun facts.

    I have watched this episode several times. I am a teacher and it warms my heart as I listen to you remembering your teacher (even if he wasn't the best teacher). I hope my students remember me in the future so kindly as you do for Mr Shimizu. I even shed a tear watching this episode. Thank you very much Johnny.

    New to the channel here, dude. I really appreciate your honest approach to these videos. You speak straight to us like a normal human being, without speeding up your voice or deleting your thoughts to fit things into a squeaky clean, 5 minute package. You aren't afraid to share who you are, and that's fucking awesome. Videos like this are so cool and are great examples of good storytelling. Keep up the great work, man. Looking forward to being a fan now and in the future.

    just like many others around here (your videos really cheer me up so much!)
    your life stories are always told with so much passion, you have had some great art even all the way back then, that's amazing Johnny!
    what a shame that I've missed your older episodes, I'll be going over on each one of them.
    you make me feel like I've been there, that's how great you tell your life stories !
    much love Johnny, please keep doing what you are doing.

    you remind me of my old english teacher, he always had the best stories. SOB had a story for each day of school, not one, multiple stories a day.

  • @choux8372
    @choux8372 7 років тому +6

    wow... seeing this really makes me think back on my high school English teacher, Ayala. he was really intelligent (he would teach us English, but also add in bits of history and science), composed, sometimes cocky, but he had something that I didn't really ever get from most teachers: compassion and patience. Even though he was well into his 40s, he still understood what being a teenager is like. and what was cool about him was that not only was he ALSO an artist, but when he was in the military, he was stationed in Japan. and there, he'd learned Japanese and even got into Akira. and since I was into anime and art, he'd always give me pointers and small critiques here and there. when I look through my art from that year, all I can remember is drawing during our free time in that class.

    I absolutely was touched by this episode. I think it's great to think back on past teachers who have touched us in some way. Whether it be huge or small. Your ending to this video, with your art, and the final few seconds really touched me. I am now working as an English teacher in Japan and I only hope that I can leave an impression on my kids as Mr. Shimizu did on you.
    Let me just send my gratitude to both you and Mr. Shimizu. Life is certainly interesting.

  • @ReconWo1f

    @TBustah 8 років тому +2

    My high school art teacher was just the opposite... kind of a crazy hippie guy from Kansas that had motorcycles and hot rods. A couple years after I graduated, I happened to be in town for graduation day. It was the last ceremony that he was participating in because he was retiring. He'd been teaching for like thirty years, so they made a big deal about it. When he took the stage, he told everyone that he was going to Burning Man. XD Not that long of a trip for him, I guess, the school is in northern Nevada.

    Having many friends who work as teachers, I know many of them just hope that their students will take something with them once they are done being taught. It's beautiful to see someone remember a teacher so fondly after so many years. I'm sure Mr. Shimizu would be absolutely floored to see this video. Awesome video Johnny !

  • @Lydomina
    @Lydomina 8 років тому

    Loved these stories, the ending felt like I was watching PBS or something :D. What I like about Mr. Shimizu is it sounds like he actually tried; all of my art "teachers" just made us do boring things like paper mache, they never critiqued our work beyond making sure that we at least did something, and they definitely never had us draw people.

    @SinceSpacies 8 років тому

    First thing I did today (before editing my video) was put this video on the Xbox One. I am envious of your ability to recall minor details and also pull out old flashback items to the past. This video was kinda sad but truly was a nice story to listen to. I remember my art teacher giving me a Mad magazine which had a vinyl album inside as a give a way. Untouched... till my curiosity got the better of me and I ripped it out to play it. LOL

    Wow, I too actually had the shivers from watching this as well. I remember my 8th grade art teacher was quite a character as well, don't remember her name, since my middle school yearbook is kinda buried in my closet somewhere. But yeah, I kind of did get choked up a little towards the end as well, this was a wonderful video tribute to him, I'm sure he's looking down at you right now smiling, yet still saying how satanic your drawings were, hahaha. Keep up the amazing work, and hope to see more of your old school art in the future!

    I remember during my junior year our english teacher who had no idea what she was doing got replaced by this guy who graduated from the same high school in the '70s. He had a unique way of teaching and one of my favorite memories was when he climbed on top of our desks and walked across each one as he read. I swear he was like Robin Williams from Dead Poets Society

    Hey. It's Corey from Facebook that got you the Street Fighter 2 shirt. Not sure if you're coming back to Facebook or not, but I digress on that.
    I just wanted to say how this video was...definitely heartfelt and find it amazing how people like yourself have these truly wonderful memories. What a great way to remember someone that not many people would know about if it hadn't been for this video. He had the important people in his life know him though regardless. His family, friends and his students. What a great send off to a man that is long gone. This just made his world seem so much bigger to everyone.

    Great video. Loved the artwork man...pick it up again! From one to another. I also had a teacher who would talk to me after class and say things like, "do they have to be demons? Can't they be wild animals or something?" This was middle school (grade 6, 7 here in U.S.). 😐 It was a really interesting assignment where we had to design, illustrate, and write our own books. Looking back, it read a lot like Demon Knight, that old Tales from the Crypt movie, lol I'm sure it would have been way too satanic for Shimizu-San.

    I had an art teacher in college that would limit our artistic freedoms. She would have everyone doing the same exact art work. I was completely against that way of thinking. So I made sure in all my projects I would go above and beyond on my work while making them nothing like what she would ask us to do. Needless to say I didn't do to well in her class. Ps. Think I just cried at the end of your video.

I still go back to him sometimes and ask him questions. and that was over ten years ago whenbhe taught me. he is passionate about art and still enjoys teaching those who want to learn. Lol he even cosplayed at PCC last year.
