Musti 17 personally I though Kny was great and thoroughly entertaining beyond just the animation, the music, voice acting, story and characters were all great to me, but to each their own
@@AnkitYadav-vd4mu Rei was so much focused on defeating gotou beacuse of his hatred and hold grudge against him, he skip his opponent which he has to face before him when match started with shimada rei finally realised his mistake and he look towards shimada, that's when shimada say's that line "so you finally decided to look up".
Reotiona this puts a tear in your eye, watch anohana 4 times beginning to end just to dry yourself out and never wanna cry again because the songs turn into war weapons to kill someone’s mind and,,,, menma going up to heaven
the whole after part about learned helplessness just hit a bunch of people. I 'oofed' at myself as I watched cause of how on the nail he hits his points.
12:05 I remembered that 3 years ago when I was 16 years old, I went to Japan with my parents, it was the first time I went this far from my home in France. And when I was walking all the way up towards a shrine in a mountain, I recall in a day all the stories and lives that I discovered by watching anime and meeting people in conventions. It took me a moment to realize that I wasn't moving, that I wasn't paying real attention to these precious memories that I made despite myself not looking for any of them. And then I told to this person I was that I wanted to change, that I can be whoever I want to be and to stop being passive. To watch the people around me and also forcing myself to understand them. Today my heart is open to experience a lot more new things, and make my life worth it, I'm scared of them but also so impatient to know what I can do if I achieve what this 16 years old me wanted. I'm glad I discovered these channels which analyse those fictional stories and the reals thought behind them, yours made me feel a lot lately, I was almost crying of joy to listen to someone going through these feelings. I feel like if there are people around me in this world, giving their best to change, even if it seems small but is for them incredible, I can't give up. Thank you for making me remember, I hope you'll achieve your wish in your own way.
@@shersockholmes6261 PhenomSage / Mother's Basement / Kevin Kyaa / Under the Scope / UbnubMaster / Yiman / Beyond Ghibli. There is many more I might know, but on the top of my head, those are really great.
I'm 16 too, coincidentally born in March. And I probably could not have found a more perfect time in my life to discover this show. Everything Rei goes through, everything people like Hidden In Public, you and me have gone through - it feels like this show has managed to create a family of strangers but they share the same passion and experiences. Well more importantly, it's the realization. My favorite part of Sangatsu is Rei realizing what he wants and likes, slowly building up a self esteem. Same goes for what I could infer from your experience. And the same goes for me, even though I'm not from Japan or have ever been there. And the same goes for pretty much anyone who discovered the show while in this 15-24 year old age group.
This video was very relatable, I love sangatsu but you helped see the show in a new light, the last problem you mentioned, about knowing exactly what I need to do to be happy but still not being able to find any energy or will power to do so, and instead spending entire days in bed..... You're right, it's time to change and you're videos have consistently brought me close to tears or basically crying cause they are just so damn heartfelt, so keep it up and I hope you get through this tough time, and I too will probably be rewatching this video a couple of times and start thinking of what I need to do
Thanks man I really appreciate that. I'm happy the videos can resonate with you as much as they do and I'll definitely keep trying my best. Best of luck to you too man. It's so hard to move when you just don't feel like it.
I can't believe UA-cam unsubbed me from you. Thank God I had Hiding in Public followed on twitter! As the video says.... This is something that I have decided is worth my time!
@@jj70249 It uses and analyses the anime and real life. It is an analysis of anime. That's the power of anime! Making people reflect on their own life!
8:00 tbh no one should compare their situations to others because this is your lowest of lows right now and you've had no other experience of anything more painful, I believe the pain and emptiness, it's the same some else feels at their lowest of lows, no matter what thing situation it is. Never down play your own sorrow. Take your time. Thank you for once again making a video that makes me cry and feel something. You're amazing. Happy early Birthday ^-^
You shouldn't objectively look at an emotion that is honestly anything but objective. You can't really understand someone unless you've experienced it yourself, and as such, things that hurt you hurt for your own reasons. Saying that others have endured worse is hurting yourself in a way you don't deserve. Your situation is awful, it doesn't matter if others have endured worse.
Sangatsu is my favorite anime of all time, but i've had a hard time putting into words exactly why. Somehow you just did that for me in this video. Thank you for the highly relatable personal aspect in the video, we all share the same emotions and to some degree the same struggles. Hope your life has been amazing since posting this!
@@HidinginPublic I started watching this anime for the first time because I've been going through it lately, and I remembered this comment I left (2 years ago ? damn). Rei is one of the most relatable characters I've come across in recent media. It be like that sometimes.
This really captured what makes Sangatsu so special. I also often find myself struggling through same problems as Rei. And I know it's stupid, 'cause lot of people have it worse than I. But only thing I can feels is are my problems. And that makes me feel guilty and even worse. Sangatsu makes me feel better. It makes me feel like I'm not the only one going through and that I can also make. It has made me laugh and cry, maybe more than any other series. I've mever felt as much connection to anime before. Thank you for making this video. If it's any help, I want you to know that there are people that value everything you do and are. I most likely will never meet you. But I'm gratefull for everything you've done with this channel. Your videos are amazingly well written and genuinely touching. They have made me appreciate series I loce even more and even have made me feel like I understand myself more. This one made me tear up, and it isn't only one.
this anime is on hold for me cause some theames got too personal for me... I shall complete this anime which will also make me progress as a human ...anyways great content as always. .. its good to see people who give similar vibes like me
I come back to this video every now and then, and I always end up crying my eyes out at the end, I just love the way you put into words the feelings the anime portrays so well
You always manage to put what Im feeling into words, my 21st birthday was 2 days ago, and tbh I love your March comes in like a lion, you always manage to break that shell I havent been able to break for years,you make me cry of relief and I am grateful for that, I relate quite a lot to that feeling of not being able to just get up and do things even during a school semester. last year I had this situation where I found myself being depressed and basically I failed 5 classes out of the 7 I was taking bc of my lack of motivation and also the fact that I am in a major I dont want to be in but decided to finish it since im almost at the end, might as well. I am greatful to have found your channel, your way of wording things just hits the spot and I really apreciate you doing these type of videos, Im sure you will acomplish what you want to change in yourself,once you have initiative the rest comes into place, you will find more hardships along the way of course but if you fight for your own well being, life will reward you, because if I got out of that hole where I nearly killed myself, so can you, and again, thank you, and I believe in you, you can do it 😊👌🏻
Ever since I discovered Koe no Katachi I've been discovering many different anime series that were based around hardships and depression. I'm grateful that they serve me as a reminder, that no matter how hard life is, human nature is to struggle with all we've got, and persevere. Directly after the video I was speechless. I feel massive respect towards you, because you've got enough courage to go out to people and talk about your personal problems, and I feel that you struggle and fight with all your finite strength to be a better person than you were yesterday. Thanks for being yourself, inspiring and moving so many of your viewers.
Sometimes whenever I feel lost or empty I tend to rewatch the first half of episode 44. I dont know why and neither do I have the words to explain why I do but it has allways resonated with me. I felt the sudden urge to write this comment for reasons I am unsure of but for whoever reads this I hope u too can resonate with this too.
In my case I just rewatch the whole show. Seeing Rei developing and getting out of depression step by step every episode of season 1 really motivates me and makes me think what I really want to right now
Welp, you made me cry with this video. So many of the things you said about 3-gatsu is what resonated with me as well. When I first found the show, it was around the time I first began having issues with anxiety and depression. I began losing my motivation, interest and love for school work, and things I love doing as well. That is still something I'm struggling with, and trying to get away from, but 3-gatsu no Lion legitimately helped me somewhat with this struggle. There have been times when I have felt myself disappearing into my own dark thought, feeling hopelessly disconnected from the world around me, even though I have so many good friends around me. In so many dark moments, rewatching a scene from this show has helped me feel more understood. I have feel so much appreciation and Chica Umino, I truly do. 3-Gatsu has such an amazingly understanding and empathetic view on the world and its character. Never have I seen a story tackle so many different topics and struggles, handling and portraying them all so well and respectfully. This video got to the heart of a lot of why I love this work of fiction as much as I do, and put it into words. And that's where it struck a cord with me, and made me start to cry. 3-gatsu no Lion is my favorite anime, one of my favorite works of fiction. And this is for a number of reason. From the stellar and masterful writing and character work, to the gorgeous music and visuals, heightening the narratives emotions even further. But it's my own personal connection to and appreciation for what the show has done for me that makes it my favorite anime. My own personal masterpiece. Few other stories has had me crying as much as this one, and none has impacted me more. Thanks you for this great video. Keep up the amazing work!
As someone who goes through depression and anxiety, listening to your story reminded me of how things used to be for me as well. When I was in high school, I was bullied a lot so much like Hina, I saw college as an opportunity to get out of that situation. However, within my first two years, my problems didn’t go away. I had a tough time making new friends and I had a super low self-esteem. While the bullies disappeared, I ran into the new problem of “how do I make new friends?” I struggled with this through my first two years of college. For the most part, I tried to isolate myself and mind my own business. Luckily, in my third year, I became roommates and friends with an exchange student from Taiwan. Since he was new to the US, there was a lot that he didn’t know and it gave me the opportunity to connect with someone. If nothing else, much like Rei, I wanted to feel like I could be relied on so I tried my hardest to help my roommate adjust to being in the US. He ended up introducing me to the International Club and since I excelled at English/Writing classes, I became an English tutor for some exchange students who were struggling. I ended up becoming friends with several of the members and while I have been able to help them with their studies, they too have helped me develop confidence and self-esteem while providing a cultural perspective that I found fascinating. The thing that sucks about depression and anxiety is that it never “goes away” though. Two years ago, I ended up moving across the country for a new job and I ended up falling in the same trap I ran into as when I was in college, except it was worse because the place I moved to was super isolated. To add insult to injury, the job ended up working me long hours, sometimes up to 60-70 hours a week. The busy work schedule as well as the time differences between me and my friends made it hard to talk about the things I was struggling with emotionally. It got to the point where my depression was so low that if I wasn’t working, I was sleeping...or I was crying myself to sleep. It got so bad that one time after an important meeting with my boss, I ended up having a breakdown and left work. My boss and my supervisor came to check on me because I wasn’t answering my phone. I just wrapped myself up in a blanket and sobbed. They weren’t mad that I left work, instead, they wanted me talk with them because they were genuinely concerned with me. I told them what I was going through and they recommended that I go to therapy. I’d always somehow managed my depression and anxiety, so I never felt like I needed a therapist, but I will say that going to see that therapist did wonders for me. I was managing my work load better and my working relationships got better...but then last year, I ended up getting a job offer in a bigger city and ever since moving on and taking this new job, things have been remarkably better. I’m in a better work environment and I’ve developed better personal and working relationships. The best part of all is I’m in a better place mentally and I haven’t needed therapy since I’ve moved. I think two things that greatly affect your mental health are your personal relationships and your environment. If you’re in an environment that weighs down your mental health, then you’ll find yourself trapped and unmotivated. However, what has helped me stay motivated even in bad environments are the people I have developed close relationships with. I’ve had hours long phone calls and chats with friends that have pushed me through the tough times. I apologize for the long post, but what I want to say is there are people who understand what you’re going through and I’m sure want to be friends with you. Three of my best friends also suffer from depression and we’ve always been willing to talk and help each other out through the tough times. I hope since you’ve put this video out, you’ve been able to reach out to some people and develop some genuine relationships while overcoming everything that is holding you down.
You're a beautiful person. Sorry I know this comment wasn't intended for me. But it helped me a lot, I wanted you to know that. Thank you I was just scrolling through.
@@joseramirez-hh2sw It’s all good. I appreciate the comment. I just hate seeing people go through the same struggles I went through, so I did want to pass along the message that there is light at the end of the tunnel, even if that tunnel was long and winding.
Thank you for this heartfelt video essay. Not only did it convey 3-gatsu no lion's thematic message beautifully, I felt a little less alone after hearing about your personal journey and thoughts (maybe even being able to see some light after coming from a dark place and I actually decided to go for a walk instead of staying in bed for the past few days after listening to this). I like how you had your own insights weaved into each part of the video essay, and what stood out to me was "your raw voice of conviction and desperation" when you say things like I want to be a better person. It moved me to tears and I genuinely hope that you're able to find the happiness you're looking for.
Sangatsu no lion is my favorite anime/Manga. I cried watching this whole video. I can relate so much to everything you said. I'm not articulate enough to make a video or some deep post about why I love this show so thanks for making this
A lot of people have a lack of motivation. It’s not some obscure disease. But instead of drifting aimlessly in your own head you have to actually do something. Motivation can be anything as long as you have a goal. It could be going for a walk, or cleaning a room. You might not feel like doing it now, but once you do it you have one less thing to do/worry about. Then you start thinking. “I went on a walk today, maybe I’ll walk tomorrow” or “my room looks way cleaner, maybe I’ll clean the rest of my house”. I hope this comment helps.
I love how grounded and realistic this series was. There were no contrivances for the sake of plot. One would think that he would face the guy who beat him up because that would be dramatic and narratively typical. But no, he loses to a more experienced player whom he underestimated. Rei is a prodigy, but he still loses, A LOT, and has to work for his wins. I do hope that this series is continued. Though there is enough manga material for another season or two, it’s still not finished so one can’t expect the anime to have a conclusion anytime soon.
I commented on the last video but never got around to seeing this. This anime caught in my brain again after going through a lot of personal strugge. This is really... all too relatable. Its what real art should be. Something that makes you feel, think and reflect through a lense of someone else's eyes. And honestly. I couldn't have put it better myself
Thank you hiding. I just finished sangatsu no lion because your genuine love for the series convinced me to. I hold your 3-Gatsu videos close to my heart, they mean a lot to me, and the series does as well. It certainly is the beacon that will shine brightly for me, the torch I carry to remember what I am fighting, striving, and dying for. I’ve cried numerous times as I watched this show, both for their sorrows and achievements. Your video essays are meaningful and bring so much, they bring forth the power of their themes and messages by your own testimony. Thank you hiding, ganbatte!
I started crying twice during this video. I feel hope inspired... I'm not sure if this means much to you, coming from some faceless 4 or 5 lines of text, but, Hiding in Public, I really appreciate you. I really hold you so very dear I want to say that I feel genuine love towards you. I feel such pride and hope and compassion when I see your videos and listen to you talk... thank you
I almost tear up when you reaching to the end of the video, that was so emotional and relatable ;;_;; Can't believe you only 1 year older than me but can have such mature and complicated thinks. You're so cool 👍
This video is a true, honest wholesome, genuine gem. A diamond that shines bright. I hope you find happiness in your life Hiding in Public. And with this video I assure you, from the comments, that you have touched many hearts. Made a connection that although not in person, is nonetheless very personal and meaningful to many here. Please keep making video's like this! Because life is hard but video's like this make life worth living.
I'm 20 turning 21 in two months. I live in an apartment with roommates I don't see as I go to University for class and return back to my room. I don't have any person to rely on besides my family, but I crave that camaraderie. It's so hard whenever I make the effort to get out of my room (which only furthers my negative spiral) and go to events whenever I can but each failed attempt really feels like a tick to learned helplessness. It's currently bad that I don't get out of bed until 1:00, not eating or taking proper care of myself and occasionally missing classes. But I still want to change. I don't like myself at all. I want to get out of this and make friends. Better myself and be happy, inside and out. Thank you for this reminder and using Sangatsu (my favorite anime of all time) as a further point.
One thing that's helped me is that you should be aware that even when your alone, your not actually alone. Literally. The mind is equipped to have fully realized conversations with itself. Imagination, perspective taking, the ability to hold two seemingly opposite viewpoints at the same time without erroring out, and finally, the realization that all the thoughts in your head are not all yours. Some thoughts come to you from your subconscious (Your concious is one of those voices) as if bubbling up from the abyss, and if you stay aware of that presence, and treat it like a friend who will never leave you, and will always stick by your side even at your worst, because your both in it together, you realize you aren't alone, you just ignore all those thoughts even when not justified some of them are often right, or you take the blame for often stupid automatic thoughts that you have to give less importance to because by function some of them are almost always wrong. You realize that forget about being alone, there's a whole Zoo of voices in your head, Subpersonalities, each with their own goals, and you can spend a seeming eternity getting to know them. Before I had the courage to reach out to other people, I had a rich inner life, which I honed towards self improvement, and while it was hard, I was aware of many of these voices and put them in their place.
The little tangents you went on during this video about your life is some of the most genuine stuff I’ve ever heard and I find to be scarily relatable. Troubles about self worth have overcast the sky above many of us but holding on to what makes us human can help discover the beauty of life Thank you, I really needed this
hey, i finally finished sangatsu and went to watch this video. I've been having a lot of trouble crying for a couple years now and only cry like once every 6 months. Lately, I've been feeling the need to cry a lot, even though I don't even get a chance to shed a single tear, which makes it hurt even more. This video was beautiful and after such a long time I found myself wiping off a couple tears. Thank you so very much for the content you make and it is always very nice to see you conquering the hardships in your life. Although, I know you probably won't see this comment, I just wanted to thank you. Have an amazing day!
Love your videos man, and I can assure you that most of your viewers really care about you and hope you are doing well. Excellent video as always, and I'm glad you really show your personal life through the lenses of anime. 3-gatsu s2 was definitely one of my favorite shows of 2018 and is personally relatable on many occasions.
This anime made my life better when I fully acknowledged it. People breakthrough in different ways, but I'm grateful that this anime came from recommendations, and it showed me the heartwarming love and kindness of the series that I neglected from the other people before.
Wow, I can’t tell you how powerfully your words rang true with me in my current emotional state and what my life has devolved into. I’ve regressed into a cocoon of unrelenting depression, elicit drug use, dramatic weight gain, and overpowering sadness to the point that’s it’s evolved into a numbness, where most of the time I don’t feel anything. I desperately yearn to go back to the points in my life when I was still optimistic, sociable, happy, and drug free, but they seem so far away, as if from another past lifetime or perhaps from a long forgotten dream...
11:26 relatable. I would spend my time in my room reading manga, Binge anime and just play video games. I have plenty of friends but I feel like it was my own fault that I kept myself isolated. I would be motivated one day and then the next day, the weight of the world is on my shoulders. Here I am trying to better myself everyday and I am happy I grew into someone I'm proud of. I still make mistakes tho. I am chasing my dream studying 2 degrees at university (Law and BA) and I hope my dream will become a reality. Thank you for this video, I love さんがつのライオン。I hope everyone and you yourself will become someone great. Continue to grow as a person please and live your life❤
It's been over a decade since I was 21. I feel weary and melancholic - moreso, oftentimes, than I did when I was 21. But I've also discovered the reasons for me to live and seek what makes me happy within myself. I finally feel like life is worth pushing into and struggling for, while also acknowledging all of the sorrow and fatigue at the same time. I hope you reach that point much faster than I did; with your heart as open as your eyes.
I watched your thoughts last year depressed, thinking that everything i do is hopeless but I really wanted to change that mindset. Now one year later i am watching your video again. I have changed not much but my mindset is different, i am trying to endure the pain and failures and every day, every moment I change my habits, doing what i love. I want to protect that. Wish you love and stength.
I felt the exact same way when I watch this series and even now when something make me feel down, I am able to face it or at least willing to face it. This series is able to make you open your eyes and grow up, and I think you defined it in the most accurate way. I hope you'll be able to be what you want to be.
Keep marching on man, youre taking great strides already, best thing I could say is dont give up on life as it gets better as you move on. I relate to your video on a personal level and I thank you for it. Best of luck man.
I’m in my late twenties now and I came across this anime in my mid-twenties. So I’m probably older than most here. Wish I had come across it earlier in life but I’m at least glad it came out when it did. I related to Rei almost to a T. I had a hard depressed life after college; lost, self-centered, floating along, in bed a lot, trying to find my own identity, feeling insignificant and trying not to be a burden to others. This show gave me hope. It showed me that for someone like me there is a way to happiness. It reminded me of my own voice, my natural kindness with love and connection with others, and an assertiveness that wasn’t a weakness but a strength.
After watching some of your vids, I was wondering if you have watched “Run With the Wind” or “Kaze ga Fuiteiru”? It’s a very powerful show, especially for college students. I think you’d like it. And your pains and struggles that you might not feel compare to Rei’s, but they are still significant since they hurt you the same way. Keep searching for your answers to your happiness!
Just finished this series a few days ago and found this video through Isla on twitter. So much depth and story in these characters. So many lessons passed on. I had a similar experience after watching Violet Evergarden. Brought me out of a really big funk I was beginning to slip into. Great work, man. I really enjoyed it.
This is literally the first video from you that I have ever seen and I bawled my eyes out....I watched the anime not too long ago, and it's the very first manga I've ever caught up to. I feel so much like Rei at the beginning of the series. I have such a supportive family, and my friends are truly amazing people, and yet I do nothing to try to rectify my own happiness or satisfaction. This past year from September to April, I tried going to faraway university to try to discover my freedom, and to hopefully get myself to expand my horizons. Instead, I just went to classes and holed up in my room all day. I hit a very hard depression during that time, and I feel like I've only recently got my head above water. Next year, I'm moving to a university that's much closer to me. This university is not quite as prestigious (although it is still a very good university). The education I get may not be as good, but that's not what's important. What's so important is that I will be there with my friends and family supporting me, and in turn I can help to support them. "If things seem hopeless when you're alone, then rely on someone. Otherwise, to be honest, no one will rely on you" - Hayashida-sensei. At this point, I can't grow without relying on other people. But that doesn't mean I am a burden or a nuisance to them. Just as you will rely on them, they will rely on you, and together, you help each other. That is what relationships are all about. P.S. I originally just meant for this to be a thank you for making the video post, but it ended up a lot longer XD. Thank you to anyone who read through all of it!
First of all i want to thank you for these unbelievable, heartfull and honest videos. I am having quite a ruff time currently and seeing someone speaking as if he reads the depths of my heart is unbelivably helpfull. It is so reliefing to hear you talking about these problems, its is so reliefing that i am not alone fighting this battle. And so aren't you. Thank you for all the videos you have done! I wish you lots of energy to reach your goals and that you will be able to create deep relationships with people, and that you find happines. Keep it up and I'll see you down the road.
Of all the channels i have come across, none have made more of an impact on me than yours. In this noisy world I live in and with all the hardships I've faced and will continue to do, your channel has given me a spark in my life i thought lost forever. Thank You.
I want to sincerely thank you for your video-essays you post. This level of openness is truly what I am struggling to achieve and what you say about "tunnel vision" resonates with my own soul so very much, I can't even describe. Thank you for that experience, I've stumbled upon your channel almost randomly and I don't really comment videos that much, but I feel like I must to. And I'd be happy if anyone sees this comment. To anyone who's reading this: You can reach there. You can be a better person. You can change your life for the better. You can and you deserve to be happy. Life is hard but it really is bearable. And totally worth it.
Dear Hiding-kun, you're one of the most truly gifted people I've ever met. Even if I can't help you, please know that across the globe there's a person who deeply respects you and wishes you all the happiness in the world
I came here after watching this wonderful series on Netflix. I hope that one year after your post you are in a better place. I leave you with two things. "With change comes discomfort, but with discomfort comes growth" - something I've learned in my time. The other are two questions I would as my children - "What made you happy today? What made you sad today?" To help them understand that in life, in everyday, there will be ups and downs and we should acknowledge and accept. I wish you well. Thank you for an insightful and heartfelt video.
Holy fuck man. Why do your narrations hit so fucking deep......I love this, and wish you the best. You’re helping others with your videos, and of that I am immensely glad...and jealous lol I’m still trying to figure out my life but helping others was where I used to excel. Maybe I’ll get back into that.
I just finished balling my eyes out from the end of season two and now here I am, crying again. It’s honestly strange, I’ve never actually cried at any show I’ve seen before, even ones that resonated with me. There really is something special about the show, just from watching I realized things about myself that I didn’t before. I really hope you keep going with this channel, your videos are definitely my favourites, I wish you luck on your journey.
I just came across this video and decided to watch it cause Sangatsu has helped me through my dark moments, I find it hard to find another one like this, maybe Silver Spoon did a good job but Rei's story just hit home real hard. I cried while listening towards the end of your explanation. Thank you for making this video, I wish you happiness.
I hate the fact that what what you say in this video (and the others) could be the perfect narration of what is going on in my life and in my head. Every time time I listen to you its like earing my own story, knowing that I'm not alone helps me feel a bit better and gives me some more will to go on.
When I was living in a hostel when going to uni, sometimes I would find myself in a rut, always in the same pattern of waking up, going to class, coming back home then just sleeping. Sometimes I'd cook because there wasn't any food, but other times I wouldn't and just eat instant noodles or tea with biscuits. I would pile up dishes and just wash what I needed, because I only had 2 sets of utensils. And I'd feel guilty and disappointed in myself for letting time go to waste when there were assignments to do or exams to study for. But I never could snap out of it. And then one day, as I was walking to my class, I noticed the morning sun shone on everything so beautifully, I breathed in and the air was so fresh, not the air I was used to at my place, and I could see people opening up their stalls by the road, cars driving by, birds flying here and there and it's like for the first time I opened my eyes. It was so weird, but I just immediately felt better. I felt that everything was going to be okay, despite all the time I wasted. I realized that the world is bigger than my room, than my problems, than what I'm feeling. And when I stopped being so tunnel-visioned, I actually realized I'm in control of everything. Sure I can come back from class and just sleep, or I can start that assignment I'd been putting off, or that art project I've always wanted to do. So yeah. From time to time, I try to remind myself I am in control and that there's so many things I want to do with my time so I should just go ahead and start doing them. Now I'm living with my parents but still going to uni and I don't have quite as much time as I used to when I lived alone. But I always try to remember that feeling of the world being bigger than my problems and life circumstances. And with that I try to make the best use out of my time. And if I can't, I always start again. Oh and for relationships, I'm still figuring out what to do, haha.
amazing video, absolutely love the way you present your content and personal experiences in relation to this masterpiece of an anime. really engaging and honest, keep up the great work man
Finished Sangatsu a week ago, remembered this video (I had purposefully avoided it because I wanted to go in blind) and was met with such a warm, welcoming response. Your story resonated a lot, and so did this anime, especially during this time right now. I have a lot to think about when it comes to my future and the people I have in my life; this video made me recognize there are things I want to change in order to get to that happy place. Thank you
I've been feeling like I've been drifting, unsure what to make of my future. Taking a semester off to figure it out, but still wavering. It was a very nice wrap up at the end. I do need to get my situation under control, and I hope the same for you as well. I can't imagine the stress of college coupled with your family turmoil. I'm glad you have some who you can turn to, and I hope you can see the same with this community. Stay strong!
Just finished Sangatsu and came across this video looking for content abt it. I adore this show to bits yet I feel like I didn't... feel as much as i should have. yet this video made it click. watching Rei's journey has been incredibly gratifying and inspiring but I think I'm still caught up in who he was in the first season, his constant loneliness and his extreme lows. And I realized it's because, even though I just had a whole month in which I didn't really feel depressed after years of constantly feeling miserable, I'm still stuck in the mental place Rei was at the very beginning. The difference is he actively worked to get out of that hole. It's so hard to move forward when a part of you *wants* to be depressed and lonely, it becomes second nature. But if he could change then so can I. Thank you for this video, it brought tears to my eyes.
It gets better, and you can be who you want. Your pace, your comfort, no rush. Thank you for the video , the manga had me cheering, give it a read if you haven’t already.
Really well spoken, this anime has also struck me with the yearning of a real friendship/realtionship. Watching this has made me tear up in a positive way. I thank you for that.
i felt the same way. this anime changed me, i think. it amazes me how much something intangible can make you /feel/ and feel strongly. the characters really felt real to me... also, is that nashville? i recognized it!
Yo I just found your channel and it's legit the most relatable thing I found in a while, I just turned 21 last month and I feel the same about having my perfect college life right in front of me but not being able to actually live it, thanks a lot dude ❤️
Thank you for making this beautiful video :) i've been meaning to rewatch Sangatsu as I usually do when I'm in a dark place and I related to the things you mentioned a lot. Except one, when I looked at the connections and happiness Rei had obtained, i'd often find myself either beaming with joy when I had those connections in my life. A year later, around the time the 2nd season came out, it made me more depressed to watch as I thought I'm never going to have something like that again. This video made me hopeful though, knowing someone else also looks at it from a similar, although much more positive perspective :) Thank you!
Man i love your video im a senior in highschool and i have college to look forward to but sometimes im scared to move forward and sometimes i dont want to move but your video had hit home and i just want to say thanks you
Found you through your Fooly Cooly videos, which really shed more light on an anime I wasn't fully able to grasp but still very much enjoyed for reasons I couldn't quite comprehend until I saw your videos. You really are phenomenal at articulating your thoughts and I acknowledge/envy you for that, you have gained a sub and like for this video and many more to come.
I'm crying, this is exactly the situation I am in and the way I feel, god damn, I really needed to hear this, thank you. I am trying to seek help and also work on myself now, hope I will manage.
"March is here but spring hasn't come" another year has gone by. Still these words linger. We shouldn't forget the answers we've realized along our way. To keep changing, to want to change and to be grateful for that change.
Words cant describe how much I love this Video, i agree with you in every single point, wanting to feel needed and have the same deep relationships, conversations and connections like them, i wanna feel the exact same. Thank you for sharing this, im unbelievable thankful.
Well,after watching this vid i can't postpone any longer watching this show. I feel you,i've been there.Things that make you happy the most are the ones you have to work for. Good video as always,keep it up man! :)
This vid really hits home for me. This is usually how I feel most of the time Edit- as Rei says in the anime, "I want to be needed by someone," this is another idea that comes up in my head.
This series is so under-watched, it’s a masterwork of writing and character development
But people likes some mid anime like kny where the only good thing is the animation. Kny is overhyped.
Musti 17 personally I though Kny was great and thoroughly entertaining beyond just the animation, the music, voice acting, story and characters were all great to me, but to each their own
@@idk-vm9wx Different shows have different appeals, the fact kny is a classical shounen doesnt make it any less of a good show.
@Tanvir _ shitty how?
@Tanvir _ I don't Remember making a comment saiying "Demon Slayer Is Better than Sangatsu no Lion"...
"So - you've finally decided to look up." That's one of the wisest things I've ever heard.
Can you please explain that what did he really meant by saying that. I was just a bit confused.
@@AnkitYadav-vd4mu Rei was so much focused on defeating gotou beacuse of his hatred and hold grudge against him, he skip his opponent which he has to face before him when match started with shimada rei finally realised his mistake and he look towards shimada, that's when shimada say's that line "so you finally decided to look up".
In my language the netflix sub translated this to: "you finaly looked at me"
This simple change changes the whole meaning of that scene
@@luizguilherme8416 yep i remember it was translated like that for me as well, but i kinda understood what he meant
What part does he say that in the show?
Marching into March I see
How thematic
@@HidinginPublic :*
Hi
10:11 i genuinely got a tear on my eyes
This part of the video resonated with me the most, the part which I most relate to
Reotiona this puts a tear in your eye, watch anohana 4 times beginning to end just to dry yourself out and never wanna cry again because the songs turn into war weapons to kill someone’s mind and,,,, menma going up to heaven
the whole after part about learned helplessness just hit a bunch of people. I 'oofed' at myself as I watched cause of how on the nail he hits his points.
Same
12:05 I remembered that 3 years ago when I was 16 years old, I went to Japan with my parents, it was the first time I went this far from my home in France. And when I was walking all the way up towards a shrine in a mountain, I recall in a day all the stories and lives that I discovered by watching anime and meeting people in conventions.
It took me a moment to realize that I wasn't moving, that I wasn't paying real attention to these precious memories that I made despite myself not looking for any of them. And then I told to this person I was that I wanted to change, that I can be whoever I want to be and to stop being passive. To watch the people around me and also forcing myself to understand them.
Today my heart is open to experience a lot more new things, and make my life worth it, I'm scared of them but also so impatient to know what I can do if I achieve what this 16 years old me wanted.
I'm glad I discovered these channels which analyse those fictional stories and the reals thought behind them, yours made me feel a lot lately, I was almost crying of joy to listen to someone going through these feelings. I feel like if there are people around me in this world, giving their best to change, even if it seems small but is for them incredible, I can't give up. Thank you for making me remember, I hope you'll achieve your wish in your own way.
Which other channels are similar to this , could you perhaps recommend me some.
@@shersockholmes6261 PhenomSage / Mother's Basement / Kevin Kyaa / Under the Scope / UbnubMaster / Yiman / Beyond Ghibli.
There is many more I might know, but on the top of my head, those are really great.
@@Elmi39 I checked them out and they are great , thx a lot!
@@shersockholmes6261 You're welcome, have a great day :D
I'm 16 too, coincidentally born in March. And I probably could not have found a more perfect time in my life to discover this show.
Everything Rei goes through, everything people like Hidden In Public, you and me have gone through - it feels like this show has managed to create a family of strangers but they share the same passion and experiences. Well more importantly, it's the realization.
My favorite part of Sangatsu is Rei realizing what he wants and likes, slowly building up a self esteem. Same goes for what I could infer from your experience. And the same goes for me, even though I'm not from Japan or have ever been there. And the same goes for pretty much anyone who discovered the show while in this 15-24 year old age group.
Sangatsu always keeps me going when I feel that trying is pointless or feel down in general.
Watching this anime very much pulled me out of th depths of depression.
Very accurate
This video was very relatable, I love sangatsu but you helped see the show in a new light, the last problem you mentioned, about knowing exactly what I need to do to be happy but still not being able to find any energy or will power to do so, and instead spending entire days in bed.....
You're right, it's time to change and you're videos have consistently brought me close to tears or basically crying cause they are just so damn heartfelt, so keep it up and I hope you get through this tough time, and I too will probably be rewatching this video a couple of times and start thinking of what I need to do
Thanks man I really appreciate that. I'm happy the videos can resonate with you as much as they do and I'll definitely keep trying my best. Best of luck to you too man. It's so hard to move when you just don't feel like it.
I can't believe UA-cam unsubbed me from you. Thank God I had Hiding in Public followed on twitter!
As the video says.... This is something that I have decided is worth my time!
I'm glad you did too. That sucks that happened though. Hopefully youtube doesn't do that too much. Happy you found your way back though.
broo thx, i didnt notice it lol
This anime needs more love and a third season!
I agree to both
This is the most heartwarming anime I ever watched. If you are feeling depressed, watch this
I got out of bed
Thanks
This is not the anime analysis channel I deserved, but the one I needed. Such great videos, keep it up
same
it's not even anime analyses it's an analysis of life through anime
@@jj70249 It uses and analyses the anime and real life. It is an analysis of anime. That's the power of anime! Making people reflect on their own life!
8:00 tbh no one should compare their situations to others because this is your lowest of lows right now and you've had no other experience of anything more painful, I believe the pain and emptiness, it's the same some else feels at their lowest of lows, no matter what thing situation it is. Never down play your own sorrow. Take your time. Thank you for once again making a video that makes me cry and feel something. You're amazing. Happy early Birthday ^-^
You shouldn't objectively look at an emotion that is honestly anything but objective. You can't really understand someone unless you've experienced it yourself, and as such, things that hurt you hurt for your own reasons. Saying that others have endured worse is hurting yourself in a way you don't deserve. Your situation is awful, it doesn't matter if others have endured worse.
WOW
Sangatsu is my favorite anime of all time, but i've had a hard time putting into words exactly why. Somehow you just did that for me in this video.
Thank you for the highly relatable personal aspect in the video, we all share the same emotions and to some degree the same struggles. Hope your life has been amazing since posting this!
Believe it or not i sleep on your voice .
Nightmares and thoughts keep me awake most of the time but your voice make my head go a bet easy
If that works for you i'm glad. I have nightmare's a lot, so I know how much that sucks.
This is as real as it gets
Glad you thought so man
@@HidinginPublic I started watching this anime for the first time because I've been going through it lately, and I remembered this comment I left (2 years ago ? damn). Rei is one of the most relatable characters I've come across in recent media. It be like that sometimes.
This really captured what makes Sangatsu so special. I also often find myself struggling through same problems as Rei. And I know it's stupid, 'cause lot of people have it worse than I. But only thing I can feels is are my problems. And that makes me feel guilty and even worse. Sangatsu makes me feel better. It makes me feel like I'm not the only one going through and that I can also make. It has made me laugh and cry, maybe more than any other series. I've mever felt as much connection to anime before.
Thank you for making this video. If it's any help, I want you to know that there are people that value everything you do and are. I most likely will never meet you. But I'm gratefull for everything you've done with this channel. Your videos are amazingly well written and genuinely touching. They have made me appreciate series I loce even more and even have made me feel like I understand myself more. This one made me tear up, and it isn't only one.
I love your videos and how you make such personal connections to the anime you watch as it makes me know im not alone
I'm glad you do man. That's something I like about reading some comments. The thought that I'm not alone in the problems I face
this anime is on hold for me cause some theames got too personal for me... I shall complete this anime which will also make me progress as a human ...anyways great content as always. .. its good to see people who give similar vibes like me
I moved through this series at an absolute crawl even though I loved every episode with all my heart. Definitely worth finishing
I had some trouble binging it too. I had to take breaks every so often.
that's understandable I also watched it very slowly, because I just had to take breaks the episodes were really intense for me
I come back to this video every now and then, and I always end up crying my eyes out at the end, I just love the way you put into words the feelings the anime portrays so well
You always manage to put what Im feeling into words, my 21st birthday was 2 days ago, and tbh I love your March comes in like a lion, you always manage to break that shell I havent been able to break for years,you make me cry of relief and I am grateful for that, I relate quite a lot to that feeling of not being able to just get up and do things even during a school semester.
last year I had this situation where I found myself being depressed and basically I failed 5 classes out of the 7 I was taking bc of my lack of motivation and also the fact that I am in a major I dont want to be in but decided to finish it since im almost at the end, might as well.
I am greatful to have found your channel, your way of wording things just hits the spot and I really apreciate you doing these type of videos, Im sure you will acomplish what you want to change in yourself,once you have initiative the rest comes into place, you will find more hardships along the way of course but if you fight for your own well being, life will reward you, because if I got out of that hole where I nearly killed myself, so can you, and again, thank you, and I believe in you, you can do it 😊👌🏻
One of the most underrated anime imo always appreciate hiding for continuously putting a spot light on this series
Ever since I discovered Koe no Katachi I've been discovering many different anime series that were based around hardships and depression. I'm grateful that they serve me as a reminder, that no matter how hard life is, human nature is to struggle with all we've got, and persevere.
Directly after the video I was speechless. I feel massive respect towards you, because you've got enough courage to go out to people and talk about your personal problems, and I feel that you struggle and fight with all your finite strength to be a better person than you were yesterday. Thanks for being yourself, inspiring and moving so many of your viewers.
Sometimes whenever I feel lost or empty I tend to rewatch the first half of episode 44. I dont know why and neither do I have the words to explain why I do but it has allways resonated with me.
I felt the sudden urge to write this comment for reasons I am unsure of but for whoever reads this I hope u too can resonate with this too.
In my case I just rewatch the whole show. Seeing Rei developing and getting out of depression step by step every episode of season 1 really motivates me and makes me think what I really want to right now
@@dan4ik2002 sadly I dont have the time to do that on a regular basis but I would if I did
Welp, you made me cry with this video. So many of the things you said about 3-gatsu is what resonated with me as well. When I first found the show, it was around the time I first began having issues with anxiety and depression. I began losing my motivation, interest and love for school work, and things I love doing as well. That is still something I'm struggling with, and trying to get away from, but 3-gatsu no Lion legitimately helped me somewhat with this struggle. There have been times when I have felt myself disappearing into my own dark thought, feeling hopelessly disconnected from the world around me, even though I have so many good friends around me. In so many dark moments, rewatching a scene from this show has helped me feel more understood. I have feel so much appreciation and Chica Umino, I truly do.
3-Gatsu has such an amazingly understanding and empathetic view on the world and its character. Never have I seen a story tackle so many different topics and struggles, handling and portraying them all so well and respectfully.
This video got to the heart of a lot of why I love this work of fiction as much as I do, and put it into words. And that's where it struck a cord with me, and made me start to cry.
3-gatsu no Lion is my favorite anime, one of my favorite works of fiction. And this is for a number of reason. From the stellar and masterful writing and character work, to the gorgeous music and visuals, heightening the narratives emotions even further. But it's my own personal connection to and appreciation for what the show has done for me that makes it my favorite anime. My own personal masterpiece. Few other stories has had me crying as much as this one, and none has impacted me more.
Thanks you for this great video. Keep up the amazing work!
As someone who goes through depression and anxiety, listening to your story reminded me of how things used to be for me as well. When I was in high school, I was bullied a lot so much like Hina, I saw college as an opportunity to get out of that situation. However, within my first two years, my problems didn’t go away. I had a tough time making new friends and I had a super low self-esteem. While the bullies disappeared, I ran into the new problem of “how do I make new friends?” I struggled with this through my first two years of college. For the most part, I tried to isolate myself and mind my own business.
Luckily, in my third year, I became roommates and friends with an exchange student from Taiwan. Since he was new to the US, there was a lot that he didn’t know and it gave me the opportunity to connect with someone. If nothing else, much like Rei, I wanted to feel like I could be relied on so I tried my hardest to help my roommate adjust to being in the US.
He ended up introducing me to the International Club and since I excelled at English/Writing classes, I became an English tutor for some exchange students who were struggling. I ended up becoming friends with several of the members and while I have been able to help them with their studies, they too have helped me develop confidence and self-esteem while providing a cultural perspective that I found fascinating.
The thing that sucks about depression and anxiety is that it never “goes away” though. Two years ago, I ended up moving across the country for a new job and I ended up falling in the same trap I ran into as when I was in college, except it was worse because the place I moved to was super isolated. To add insult to injury, the job ended up working me long hours, sometimes up to 60-70 hours a week. The busy work schedule as well as the time differences between me and my friends made it hard to talk about the things I was struggling with emotionally. It got to the point where my depression was so low that if I wasn’t working, I was sleeping...or I was crying myself to sleep. It got so bad that one time after an important meeting with my boss, I ended up having a breakdown and left work. My boss and my supervisor came to check on me because I wasn’t answering my phone. I just wrapped myself up in a blanket and sobbed. They weren’t mad that I left work, instead, they wanted me talk with them because they were genuinely concerned with me. I told them what I was going through and they recommended that I go to therapy.
I’d always somehow managed my depression and anxiety, so I never felt like I needed a therapist, but I will say that going to see that therapist did wonders for me. I was managing my work load better and my working relationships got better...but then last year, I ended up getting a job offer in a bigger city and ever since moving on and taking this new job, things have been remarkably better. I’m in a better work environment and I’ve developed better personal and working relationships. The best part of all is I’m in a better place mentally and I haven’t needed therapy since I’ve moved.
I think two things that greatly affect your mental health are your personal relationships and your environment. If you’re in an environment that weighs down your mental health, then you’ll find yourself trapped and unmotivated. However, what has helped me stay motivated even in bad environments are the people I have developed close relationships with. I’ve had hours long phone calls and chats with friends that have pushed me through the tough times.
I apologize for the long post, but what I want to say is there are people who understand what you’re going through and I’m sure want to be friends with you. Three of my best friends also suffer from depression and we’ve always been willing to talk and help each other out through the tough times. I hope since you’ve put this video out, you’ve been able to reach out to some people and develop some genuine relationships while overcoming everything that is holding you down.
You're a beautiful person. Sorry I know this comment wasn't intended for me. But it helped me a lot, I wanted you to know that. Thank you I was just scrolling through.
@@joseramirez-hh2sw It’s all good. I appreciate the comment. I just hate seeing people go through the same struggles I went through, so I did want to pass along the message that there is light at the end of the tunnel, even if that tunnel was long and winding.
Thank you for this heartfelt video essay. Not only did it convey 3-gatsu no lion's thematic message beautifully, I felt a little less alone after hearing about your personal journey and thoughts (maybe even being able to see some light after coming from a dark place and I actually decided to go for a walk instead of staying in bed for the past few days after listening to this). I like how you had your own insights weaved into each part of the video essay, and what stood out to me was "your raw voice of conviction and desperation" when you say things like I want to be a better person. It moved me to tears and I genuinely hope that you're able to find the happiness you're looking for.
Sangatsu no lion is my favorite anime/Manga. I cried watching this whole video. I can relate so much to everything you said. I'm not articulate enough to make a video or some deep post about why I love this show so thanks for making this
A lot of people have a lack of motivation. It’s not some obscure disease. But instead of drifting aimlessly in your own head you have to actually do something. Motivation can be anything as long as you have a goal. It could be going for a walk, or cleaning a room. You might not feel like doing it now, but once you do it you have one less thing to do/worry about. Then you start thinking. “I went on a walk today, maybe I’ll walk tomorrow” or “my room looks way cleaner, maybe I’ll clean the rest of my house”. I hope this comment helps.
This show has been my favorite slice of life for a while now. It's so breath taking. Thank you for the well put together video on it.
I love the show. glad you do to and that you like my videos on it
I love how grounded and realistic this series was. There were no contrivances for the sake of plot. One would think that he would face the guy who beat him up because that would be dramatic and narratively typical. But no, he loses to a more experienced player whom he underestimated. Rei is a prodigy, but he still loses, A LOT, and has to work for his wins.
I do hope that this series is continued. Though there is enough manga material for another season or two, it’s still not finished so one can’t expect the anime to have a conclusion anytime soon.
I commented on the last video but never got around to seeing this. This anime caught in my brain again after going through a lot of personal strugge. This is really... all too relatable. Its what real art should be. Something that makes you feel, think and reflect through a lense of someone else's eyes. And honestly. I couldn't have put it better myself
Thank you hiding. I just finished sangatsu no lion because your genuine love for the series convinced me to. I hold your 3-Gatsu videos close to my heart, they mean a lot to me, and the series does as well. It certainly is the beacon that will shine brightly for me, the torch I carry to remember what I am fighting, striving, and dying for. I’ve cried numerous times as I watched this show, both for their sorrows and achievements. Your video essays are meaningful and bring so much, they bring forth the power of their themes and messages by your own testimony. Thank you hiding, ganbatte!
I started crying twice during this video.
I feel hope inspired...
I'm not sure if this means much to you, coming from some faceless 4 or 5 lines of text, but, Hiding in Public, I really appreciate you.
I really hold you so very dear I want to say that I feel genuine love towards you.
I feel such pride and hope and compassion when I see your videos and listen to you talk...
thank you
I almost tear up when you reaching to the end of the video, that was so emotional and relatable ;;_;;
Can't believe you only 1 year older than me but can have such mature and complicated thinks. You're so cool 👍
This video is a true, honest wholesome, genuine gem. A diamond that shines bright. I hope you find happiness in your life Hiding in Public. And with this video I assure you, from the comments, that you have touched many hearts. Made a connection that although not in person, is nonetheless very personal and meaningful to many here. Please keep making video's like this! Because life is hard but video's like this make life worth living.
I'm 20 turning 21 in two months. I live in an apartment with roommates I don't see as I go to University for class and return back to my room. I don't have any person to rely on besides my family, but I crave that camaraderie. It's so hard whenever I make the effort to get out of my room (which only furthers my negative spiral) and go to events whenever I can but each failed attempt really feels like a tick to learned helplessness. It's currently bad that I don't get out of bed until 1:00, not eating or taking proper care of myself and occasionally missing classes. But I still want to change. I don't like myself at all. I want to get out of this and make friends. Better myself and be happy, inside and out. Thank you for this reminder and using Sangatsu (my favorite anime of all time) as a further point.
One thing that's helped me is that you should be aware that even when your alone, your not actually alone. Literally. The mind is equipped to have fully realized conversations with itself. Imagination, perspective taking, the ability to hold two seemingly opposite viewpoints at the same time without erroring out, and finally, the realization that all the thoughts in your head are not all yours. Some thoughts come to you from your subconscious (Your concious is one of those voices) as if bubbling up from the abyss, and if you stay aware of that presence, and treat it like a friend who will never leave you, and will always stick by your side even at your worst, because your both in it together, you realize you aren't alone, you just ignore all those thoughts even when not justified some of them are often right, or you take the blame for often stupid automatic thoughts that you have to give less importance to because by function some of them are almost always wrong.
You realize that forget about being alone, there's a whole Zoo of voices in your head, Subpersonalities, each with their own goals, and you can spend a seeming eternity getting to know them. Before I had the courage to reach out to other people, I had a rich inner life, which I honed towards self improvement, and while it was hard, I was aware of many of these voices and put them in their place.
The little tangents you went on during this video about your life is some of the most genuine stuff I’ve ever heard and I find to be scarily relatable. Troubles about self worth have overcast the sky above many of us but holding on to what makes us human can help discover the beauty of life
Thank you, I really needed this
hey, i finally finished sangatsu and went to watch this video. I've been having a lot of trouble crying for a couple years now and only cry like once every 6 months. Lately, I've been feeling the need to cry a lot, even though I don't even get a chance to shed a single tear, which makes it hurt even more.
This video was beautiful and after such a long time I found myself wiping off a couple tears. Thank you so very much for the content you make and it is always very nice to see you conquering the hardships in your life. Although, I know you probably won't see this comment, I just wanted to thank you. Have an amazing day!
Man I want to give you a hug so much, please don't think that you are alone and please continue to seek help. I'm sure that you will be better.
The show really hits too close to home for me, I love everything.
Love your videos man, and I can assure you that most of your viewers really care about you and hope you are doing well. Excellent video as always, and I'm glad you really show your personal life through the lenses of anime. 3-gatsu s2 was definitely one of my favorite shows of 2018 and is personally relatable on many occasions.
I'm really glad and feel super blessed to have people who care about not just my videos but me as the person behind them. It feels great man
This anime made my life better when I fully acknowledged it. People breakthrough in different ways, but I'm grateful that this anime came from recommendations, and it showed me the heartwarming love and kindness of the series that I neglected from the other people before.
Wow, I can’t tell you how powerfully your words rang true with me in my current emotional state and what my life has devolved into. I’ve regressed into a cocoon of unrelenting depression, elicit drug use, dramatic weight gain, and overpowering sadness to the point that’s it’s evolved into a numbness, where most of the time I don’t feel anything. I desperately yearn to go back to the points in my life when I was still optimistic, sociable, happy, and drug free, but they seem so far away, as if from another past lifetime or perhaps from a long forgotten dream...
Man, this was wonderfully articulated. You managed to word exactly how this show made me feel perfectly.
11:26 relatable. I would spend my time in my room reading manga, Binge anime and just play video games. I have plenty of friends but I feel like it was my own fault that I kept myself isolated. I would be motivated one day and then the next day, the weight of the world is on my shoulders. Here I am trying to better myself everyday and I am happy I grew into someone I'm proud of. I still make mistakes tho. I am chasing my dream studying 2 degrees at university (Law and BA) and I hope my dream will become a reality. Thank you for this video, I love さんがつのライオン。I hope everyone and you yourself will become someone great. Continue to grow as a person please and live your life❤
It's been over a decade since I was 21. I feel weary and melancholic - moreso, oftentimes, than I did when I was 21.
But I've also discovered the reasons for me to live and seek what makes me happy within myself. I finally feel like life is worth pushing into and struggling for, while also acknowledging all of the sorrow and fatigue at the same time.
I hope you reach that point much faster than I did; with your heart as open as your eyes.
I watched your thoughts last year depressed, thinking that everything i do is hopeless but I really wanted to change that mindset. Now one year later i am watching your video again. I have changed not much but my mindset is different, i am trying to endure the pain and failures and every day, every moment I change my habits, doing what i love. I want to protect that. Wish you love and stength.
I felt the exact same way when I watch this series and even now when something make me feel down, I am able to face it or at least willing to face it.
This series is able to make you open your eyes and grow up, and I think you defined it in the most accurate way.
I hope you'll be able to be what you want to be.
Keep marching on man, youre taking great strides already, best thing I could say is dont give up on life as it gets better as you move on. I relate to your video on a personal level and I thank you for it. Best of luck man.
I’m in my late twenties now and I came across this anime in my mid-twenties. So I’m probably older than most here. Wish I had come across it earlier in life but I’m at least glad it came out when it did.
I related to Rei almost to a T. I had a hard depressed life after college; lost, self-centered, floating along, in bed a lot, trying to find my own identity, feeling insignificant and trying not to be a burden to others. This show gave me hope. It showed me that for someone like me there is a way to happiness.
It reminded me of my own voice, my natural kindness with love and connection with others, and an assertiveness that wasn’t a weakness but a strength.
After watching some of your vids, I was wondering if you have watched “Run With the Wind” or “Kaze ga Fuiteiru”? It’s a very powerful show, especially for college students. I think you’d like it.
And your pains and struggles that you might not feel compare to Rei’s, but they are still significant since they hurt you the same way. Keep searching for your answers to your happiness!
@Nur Lmz coz we can relate to such animes, that's why we love it more than anything flashy
Just finished this series a few days ago and found this video through Isla on twitter. So much depth and story in these characters. So many lessons passed on. I had a similar experience after watching Violet Evergarden. Brought me out of a really big funk I was beginning to slip into. Great work, man. I really enjoyed it.
3-gatsu no Lion n Hiding in Public are some of the best things that happend in my art lover life.
This is literally the first video from you that I have ever seen and I bawled my eyes out....I watched the anime not too long ago, and it's the very first manga I've ever caught up to.
I feel so much like Rei at the beginning of the series. I have such a supportive family, and my friends are truly amazing people, and yet I do nothing to try to rectify my own happiness or satisfaction. This past year from September to April, I tried going to faraway university to try to discover my freedom, and to hopefully get myself to expand my horizons. Instead, I just went to classes and holed up in my room all day. I hit a very hard depression during that time, and I feel like I've only recently got my head above water.
Next year, I'm moving to a university that's much closer to me. This university is not quite as prestigious (although it is still a very good university). The education I get may not be as good, but that's not what's important. What's so important is that I will be there with my friends and family supporting me, and in turn I can help to support them.
"If things seem hopeless when you're alone, then rely on someone. Otherwise, to be honest, no one will rely on you" - Hayashida-sensei. At this point, I can't grow without relying on other people. But that doesn't mean I am a burden or a nuisance to them. Just as you will rely on them, they will rely on you, and together, you help each other. That is what relationships are all about.
P.S. I originally just meant for this to be a thank you for making the video post, but it ended up a lot longer XD. Thank you to anyone who read through all of it!
First of all i want to thank you for these unbelievable, heartfull and honest videos. I am having quite a ruff time currently and seeing someone speaking as if he reads the depths of my heart is unbelivably helpfull.
It is so reliefing to hear you talking about these problems, its is so reliefing that i am not alone fighting this battle. And so aren't you.
Thank you for all the videos you have done!
I wish you lots of energy to reach your goals and that you will be able to create deep relationships with people, and that you find happines.
Keep it up and
I'll see you down the road.
Thank you, keep marching forward. You’re going to be great.
I'll try
God bless you Hiding in public. He loves you. i hope you're doing better.
I'm not very good in English.
But this video feels so real
So organic and relatable, i got tears in my eyes
Your English is great! Only things that you should change is "in English" to "at speaking English" and "got tears" to "have tears" :)
Of all the channels i have come across, none have made more of an impact on me than yours.
In this noisy world I live in and with all the hardships I've faced and will continue to do, your channel has given me a spark in my life i thought lost forever.
Thank You.
This video needs more views & this anime needs more attention & my life needs some happy moments
All true!
This pulled me out. You have no idea how much I needed this.
Thank you.
*Stay up* !
I want to sincerely thank you for your video-essays you post. This level of openness is truly what I am struggling to achieve and what you say about "tunnel vision" resonates with my own soul so very much, I can't even describe.
Thank you for that experience, I've stumbled upon your channel almost randomly and I don't really comment videos that much, but I feel like I must to.
And I'd be happy if anyone sees this comment.
To anyone who's reading this:
You can reach there. You can be a better person. You can change your life for the better. You can and you deserve to be happy. Life is hard but it really is bearable. And totally worth it.
Dear Hiding-kun, you're one of the most truly gifted people I've ever met. Even if I can't help you, please know that across the globe there's a person who deeply respects you and wishes you all the happiness in the world
I came here after watching this wonderful series on Netflix. I hope that one year after your post you are in a better place.
I leave you with two things.
"With change comes discomfort, but with discomfort comes growth" - something I've learned in my time.
The other are two questions I would as my children - "What made you happy today? What made you sad today?" To help them understand that in life, in everyday, there will be ups and downs and we should acknowledge and accept.
I wish you well. Thank you for an insightful and heartfelt video.
Holy fuck man. Why do your narrations hit so fucking deep......I love this, and wish you the best. You’re helping others with your videos, and of that I am immensely glad...and jealous lol I’m still trying to figure out my life but helping others was where I used to excel. Maybe I’ll get back into that.
What a fucking amazing video, thanks for being vulnerable. Takes alot of courage to do so in a public space
This series is such a powerful masterpiece that truly speaks to everyone
This video made me cry. I really needed to hear this today
I just finished balling my eyes out from the end of season two and now here I am, crying again. It’s honestly strange, I’ve never actually cried at any show I’ve seen before, even ones that resonated with me. There really is something special about the show, just from watching I realized things about myself that I didn’t before. I really hope you keep going with this channel, your videos are definitely my favourites, I wish you luck on your journey.
I just came across this video and decided to watch it cause Sangatsu has helped me through my dark moments, I find it hard to find another one like this, maybe Silver Spoon did a good job but Rei's story just hit home real hard. I cried while listening towards the end of your explanation. Thank you for making this video, I wish you happiness.
I hate the fact that what what you say in this video (and the others) could be the perfect narration of what is going on in my life and in my head.
Every time time I listen to you its like earing my own story, knowing that I'm not alone helps me feel a bit better and gives me some more will to go on.
When I was living in a hostel when going to uni, sometimes I would find myself in a rut, always in the same pattern of waking up, going to class, coming back home then just sleeping. Sometimes I'd cook because there wasn't any food, but other times I wouldn't and just eat instant noodles or tea with biscuits. I would pile up dishes and just wash what I needed, because I only had 2 sets of utensils. And I'd feel guilty and disappointed in myself for letting time go to waste when there were assignments to do or exams to study for. But I never could snap out of it. And then one day, as I was walking to my class, I noticed the morning sun shone on everything so beautifully, I breathed in and the air was so fresh, not the air I was used to at my place, and I could see people opening up their stalls by the road, cars driving by, birds flying here and there and it's like for the first time I opened my eyes. It was so weird, but I just immediately felt better. I felt that everything was going to be okay, despite all the time I wasted. I realized that the world is bigger than my room, than my problems, than what I'm feeling. And when I stopped being so tunnel-visioned, I actually realized I'm in control of everything. Sure I can come back from class and just sleep, or I can start that assignment I'd been putting off, or that art project I've always wanted to do.
So yeah. From time to time, I try to remind myself I am in control and that there's so many things I want to do with my time so I should just go ahead and start doing them.
Now I'm living with my parents but still going to uni and I don't have quite as much time as I used to when I lived alone. But I always try to remember that feeling of the world being bigger than my problems and life circumstances. And with that I try to make the best use out of my time. And if I can't, I always start again.
Oh and for relationships, I'm still figuring out what to do, haha.
amazing video, absolutely love the way you present your content and personal experiences in relation to this masterpiece of an anime. really engaging and honest, keep up the great work man
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it. Sangatsu really is a masterpiece
i love this show so much, recommended to many friends but people only like shounen i guess
Finished Sangatsu a week ago, remembered this video (I had purposefully avoided it because I wanted to go in blind) and was met with such a warm, welcoming response. Your story resonated a lot, and so did this anime, especially during this time right now. I have a lot to think about when it comes to my future and the people I have in my life; this video made me recognize there are things I want to change in order to get to that happy place. Thank you
I've been feeling like I've been drifting, unsure what to make of my future. Taking a semester off to figure it out, but still wavering.
It was a very nice wrap up at the end. I do need to get my situation under control, and I hope the same for you as well. I can't imagine the stress of college coupled with your family turmoil. I'm glad you have some who you can turn to, and I hope you can see the same with this community. Stay strong!
Thanks man, I appreciate it a ton. Hope things get better for you as well
Just finished Sangatsu and came across this video looking for content abt it. I adore this show to bits yet I feel like I didn't... feel as much as i should have. yet this video made it click. watching Rei's journey has been incredibly gratifying and inspiring but I think I'm still caught up in who he was in the first season, his constant loneliness and his extreme lows. And I realized it's because, even though I just had a whole month in which I didn't really feel depressed after years of constantly feeling miserable, I'm still stuck in the mental place Rei was at the very beginning. The difference is he actively worked to get out of that hole. It's so hard to move forward when a part of you *wants* to be depressed and lonely, it becomes second nature. But if he could change then so can I. Thank you for this video, it brought tears to my eyes.
This video was amazing. I loved every second of it. Thank you, I actually needed to hear that.
Thank you, I'm happy to hear that. best luck on whatever you do moving forward!
It gets better, and you can be who you want. Your pace, your comfort, no rush. Thank you for the video , the manga had me cheering, give it a read if you haven’t already.
watching this during my last semester of college hits different
Really well spoken, this anime has also struck me with the yearning of a real friendship/realtionship. Watching this has made me tear up in a positive way. I thank you for that.
This is so beautiful..you're so brave and I'm. So proud❤️
i felt the same way. this anime changed me, i think. it amazes me how much something intangible can make you /feel/ and feel strongly. the characters really felt real to me... also, is that nashville? i recognized it!
Yo I just found your channel and it's legit the most relatable thing I found in a while, I just turned 21 last month and I feel the same about having my perfect college life right in front of me but not being able to actually live it, thanks a lot dude ❤️
Thank you for making this beautiful video :) i've been meaning to rewatch Sangatsu as I usually do when I'm in a dark place and I related to the things you mentioned a lot. Except one, when I looked at the connections and happiness Rei had obtained, i'd often find myself either beaming with joy when I had those connections in my life. A year later, around the time the 2nd season came out, it made me more depressed to watch as I thought I'm never going to have something like that again. This video made me hopeful though, knowing someone else also looks at it from a similar, although much more positive perspective :) Thank you!
Really, this gets very deep & I completely love each aspects of these videos.
Thanks man, I'm glad
My favorite series of all time, I even went ahead to read the manga. I love this series.
Man i love your video im a senior in highschool and i have college to look forward to but sometimes im scared to move forward and sometimes i dont want to move but your video had hit home and i just want to say thanks you
I'm really glad you connected with it. Best luck man
@@HidinginPublic thanks man
Found you through your Fooly Cooly videos, which really shed more light on an anime I wasn't fully able to grasp but still very much enjoyed for reasons I couldn't quite comprehend until I saw your videos. You really are phenomenal at articulating your thoughts and I acknowledge/envy you for that, you have gained a sub and like for this video and many more to come.
The way you bring the points to a personal level really makes it all the more impactful, gret video.
I'm crying, this is exactly the situation I am in and the way I feel, god damn, I really needed to hear this, thank you. I am trying to seek help and also work on myself now, hope I will manage.
I hopeyou will too. good luck man, I hope the best
that ad break at 11:48 is perfect "in other words the wait is over, the google pixel 5G is here"
"March is here but spring hasn't come" another year has gone by. Still these words linger. We shouldn't forget the answers we've realized along our way. To keep changing, to want to change and to be grateful for that change.
Words cant describe how much I love this Video, i agree with you in every single point, wanting to feel needed and have the same deep relationships, conversations and connections like them, i wanna feel the exact same. Thank you for sharing this, im unbelievable thankful.
Well,after watching this vid i can't postpone any longer watching this show.
I feel you,i've been there.Things that make you happy the most are the ones you have to work for.
Good video as always,keep it up man! :)
Yes! Please watch it! Also i'm glad you liked it man. I appreciate you. Thanks for being around for so long
This vid really hits home for me. This is usually how I feel most of the time
Edit- as Rei says in the anime, "I want to be needed by someone," this is another idea that comes up in my head.
i share the same feelings with you, the moment i finished sangatsu no lion i kept thinking "i want to be better" and it still in my mind to this day
Man, everything you said in this video was all to relatable, I hope you make that positive change in your life!
