Top 10 Saddest Anime Deaths(MP3_160K) · NO FILTER

• 0:16
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you know this about us, but
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: we hear we like anime. We also like spoiling anime,
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: which we're gonna be doing a ton of in this video.
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: But you know, anime is pretty great, full of so
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: much action and in a lot of other cases, full
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: of so much heart and emotion. But among the many
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: emotions that anime tends to play on, one of the
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: biggest is our sense of sorrow. They have a bad
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: tendency to make extremely sad moments, and these moments are
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: supposed to have many different effects on us as well
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: as the story, like the death of Median maid an Abyss.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: This death was sad, but it had a strange air
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: about it, as if we weren't crying for the small
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: hollow that just died, but instead crying for Nanacci, who
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: was the one who had to make reg pull the trigger.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: Mercy killings be like that sometimes. And further, this death
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: was designed to edify the main characters and help them
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: grow not only as people, but as a group as
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: a whole. We also realized that the life Midi was
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: living was full of pain after having lost her humanity
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: at Ittofront. This death made sense, and while we all
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: cried with Nanachi and reg we all know it would
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: have been sad or if she hadn't died. This is
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: one example of a death that is used to further
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: the plot of an anime series. But then there are
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: some deaths that actually end a series. One such death
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: would be that of Spikespiegel and Cowboy Bebop, who dies
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: after his final battle with Vicious. While he manages to
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: shoot Vicious and kill him, he's cut across the abdomen
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: during the battle and stumbles out into the street, where
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: he raises his hand to form a finger gun bang
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: and then just falls forward. This is one example of
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: a death that didn't push the story your characters forward,
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: but just ended the series on a sad note. And
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: while it is a sort of poetic end to the series,
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: as it is sort of what Cowboy Bebop was eventually
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: building to, it's also the kind of death that just
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: sort of makes you think, what the hell? Why would
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: they do this to us? And moreover, why do we
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: like it as much as we claim to hate it?
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: The tree is sad as these endings are. We love
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: this stuff, We enjoy the heartrending moments, and anime almost
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: as much as the good moments. They make us feel
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: closer to the characters and thus become more invested in
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: the story. And when we see a character we like
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: die at the end of a series, we want them
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: to come back to life. And then we realize that
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: in this world, we can go back in time, literally
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: rewinding the moments leading up to that death and rewatch
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: the best parts of their life and the worst. These
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: deaths are a literary tool that break the mold of
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: the belief that all endings have to be good endings.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: People don't always live happily ever after, and sometimes their
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: death buys the happiness of others. Whatever the case, though,
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: these are moments that we love to hate feeling, and
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: so because we're all twisted and enjoy animated pain, let's
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: do a good old fashioned top ten list. Okay, maybe
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: not a top ten list because there's way too many
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: moments to choose from. So let's do a list of
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: ten sad anime moments that we're selected by our writer.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: Welcome to the Amagi. Before we begin, we publish a
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: new video basically every day, so be sure to subscribe
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: to our channel and ring the bell to get notified
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: about our latest videos. The Boggis reach stretches beyond just
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: this channel, so if you're a fan of us, please
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: consider subscribing to our other channels and following us on
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: all of our social media help us reach our goal
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: of passing one hundred thousand followers on all of our
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: accounts by the end of the year. And also, I
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: would like to say that this list is one hundred
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: percent subjective based on what our writer has provided. If
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: there's a scene you feel as sadder than these, then
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: the possibilities are that either we don't know what they
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: are or disagree. So if a scene you think is
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: sadder doesn't show up here, then post it in the
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: comments below and we can talk about it. Be sure
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: to be respectful and kind in your comments, though, we're
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: all fans here. So with this small disclaimer out of
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: the way, let's start the list. Number ten Naruto Shibuden
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: the Tale of Juria. The Gallant Juriah was the godfather
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: of Naruto and one of the few adults that Naruto
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: had actually received parental guidance and affection from. He was
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: responsible for teaching Naruto Rasungan how to summon toads like
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: Amapunta and was also responsible with helping Naruto perfect hiss
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: chakra control. So it came as a shock to our
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: system when Jiyah was killed, and he was killed by
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: his own pupils. No less, during the Second Shnoby War, Juria, Arochimaru,
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: and Sunade gained the titles Sanan when they were the
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: only ones of Konaha's forces to face Hanzo of the
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: Salamander and live, and because they managed to do this,
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: they were named Sanan. However, this war ravaged Damagakua, and
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: a young boy named Nagato found his family slain by
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: accident when they confronted Leif Snoby. Sticking close to his
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: friends Yahiko and Conan, they sought out the Seinan in
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: hopes of learning to become Shnoby. Juriah, racked with guilt,
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: decided to stay back in Ame when the war ended
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: and decided to train his kids. When he felt that
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: they were sufficiently ready for not only life, but defending themselves,
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: he left Ame behind. These kids go on to form
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: the Yakatski, which had good intent but became twisted into
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: an international terrorist organization that Jiiah found himself having to
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: investigate on behalf of Konoha It was then that he
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: needed to face off against his former students, taking them
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: all on, He found himself overwhelmed and he ended up
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: perishing there in the battle. The scene became somber. Naruto
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: was called into the hokag office as he's surrounded by
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: those he's loved and all those Juria loved, and he's
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: informed that Juriah has passed. Naruto would indeed cycle through
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: the stages of grief until he reaches the end stage.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: He sits upon a bench with a popsicle, just as
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: he had with Juria, and lets it melt. The scene
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: itself punches home what was lost that bond, not a
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: student and master, not lost knowledge and teachings. What was
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: lost that moment sitting on a bench with a popsicle.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: Naruto could never do it again, and the tears streaming
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: down his face almost made us want to transcend the
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: Fourth Wall and give the Snoby a hug. Number nine
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: Naruto Shipaden the ties that bind the fourth Shnoby World
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: War is in full swing and the allied Shenobi forces
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: are facing off against the ten Tails and those who
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: would control it. Neji Huga, in a moment of self sacrifice,
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: jumps out and ends up stabbed by the ten Tails,
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: taking the shot in Naruto's stead. He perishes there in
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: his arms beside he Natza. This seem is very emotional,
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: and our rider teered up at it. The scene is
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: even present to Naruto Ultimate Inja Storm four and yeah,
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: it still hurts there too hard to play through the
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: next mission when you're staving off tears, Neiji Huga's cursed
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: sela death activates sealing his biakugan to ensure that he
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: can never be used by the enemy. This is a
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: controversial seal and a source of much contention between Neji
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: and the rest of the Yuga clan. Neji was an
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: embittered child, while kind and sweet at a younger age.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: He ends up taking on the seal when his cousin
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: Hinata reaches age three. It's around this time that a
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: war was threatened by the Kumagakhare. An incident took place
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: that nearly led to a new Snoby World War. The
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: leaders of Kumogakare wanted Hyashi Huga dead for retribution, causing
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: an incident known as the Huga Affair. Kuma was one
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: hundred percent at fault, but the Huga clan were the
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: ones who needed to bite the bullet for the sake
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: of peace. A head snoby of Kumagakhare, who showed up
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: in the leaf to sign a peace treaty to end
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: the Kumo Konaha war, attempted to kidnap the toddler Hinata.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: Given that she was one of the few Huga to
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: not possess a curse mark. This meant that they could
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: steal her byakugan without them being sealed away. Hyashi Huga,
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: like any good father would, sought her out to rescue
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: her and ended up killing the Kumonin. However, this had
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: kicked back. Kumo denied all allegations of this event and
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: pinned it as an attack on Kumo and were about
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: to withdraw the peace treaty unless they got the body
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: of Hiyashi Huga. Kiyashi was willing to oblige, but his
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: brother Hizashi, Neji's father, decided to take the punishment in
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: his stead, and was killed and sent to Kumo. Neji
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: was bitter about this and felt that the main branch
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: had killed him coldly and never realized that this was
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: his own father's doing. His attitude toward the main branch
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: was dark, and he took any chance he could to
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: hurt Hi Nata as bad as possible. Such times would
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: be during his training of her, as well as during
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: the tune in exams. However, the truth would be revealed
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: to him through the tears of the uncle he blamed
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: and the bitter prideful Neji would slowly develop into a strong,
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: caring and wise man. Forgiving the main branch, he began
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: to take his position as he not as guardian, more seriously,
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: and that was what this moment symbolized, Neji realizing that
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: it was merely his destiny to die for Hi Nata and,
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: by extension, Naruto. This is one reason why this scene
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: is so sad. For so long, Neji fought against his fate,
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: taking on a fatalist view that nothing he could do
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: would change his life. And despite everything and every good moment,
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: we learned through tearful eyes that he could never change
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: his fate. Rest in peace, Negi, You've earned it. Number eight.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: Attack on Titan season three, episode eighteen, Midnight Sun. We
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: all know that Attack on Titan is a series specifically
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: designed to be dark. The author doesn't believe in true
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: plot armor and you can never expect any character, no
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: matter who, to be safe. This is what we learned
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: from this episode. The episode is a close contender to
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: another on this list due to the sheer amount of bloodshed.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: In this episode, we find that Erwin Smith dies after
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: his last charge against the beast Titan zike Jeger, as
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: well as the entirety of his squad, a suicide run
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: meant only to serve as distraction. That was the type
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: of man Irwin was. He literally commanded his men to
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: march to the gates of Hell, and they obliged, knowing
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: full well where they were going. But really did they
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: have the choice to stay behind? Yeah, and Irwin likely
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: would have accepted it if they had decided, Yet not
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: a single one chose to stay behind, all marching into
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: the meat grinder, with the only survivor being Flock, who
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: would later take on the mentality that the only thing
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: that the world needed was a devil. This is what
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: would lead Flock to Erin's new Jagarists group and cause
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: him to follow so fervently behind him. Berthold was also killed,
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: with Armin being the one that just barely got out
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: of it, consuming Berthold. This episode was one where we
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: were shown that as two of our favorite characters lay
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: on the ground dying, were told that we can only
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: save one. But who would it be? Would it be
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: Armin the one? Erin and Mikasa were willing to break
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: command for attacking Levi to force him to save Armin.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: Or would they save Erwin, the devil himself, who would
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: march all of humanity to their deaths just to complete
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: his mission. Levi was forced to decide between dreams, love, strategy,
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: and experience. He was about to choose Erwin, but Irwin
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: quickly pulled his hand back as if to say, no,
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: let me die. In the end, Levi decided to let
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: Irwin have his rest and saved Armin. Still, we can't
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: help but wonder what would have happened if they had
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: chosen Irwin instead. Imagine Erwin as the colossal Titan. How
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: would that change things? In the end, he choose arm
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: and armand, taking on a pure Titan form, grips Berthold.
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: This is itself a sad scene because we witnessed Berthold,
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: who had finally mustered the guts to deny his friends,
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: suddenly backtracking in an attempt to beg for forgiveness and
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: ask them to save him. The pure terror in his
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: eyes and in his voice, screaming for help as Armand
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: placed him in his mouth, was something that shook us,
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: all of our core. It was sorrowful because of all
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: of the warriors and even the scouts, Berthold was the
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: one who was the most scared and fragile. While Reiner
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: and Zeke fought, he just stood there crying like a
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: four year old watching his parents argue, begging them to stop.
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: And despite him by Marley Leadership being stated to be
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: in possession of the most powerful Titan besides the Founder,
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: he still wasn't able to usurp the title of war
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: chief from Zeke, despite him being the one who wanted
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: to save Annie. Instead, he left the fighting to Reyner.
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: The contrast between Berthold's weak and emotional state and his
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: incredible Titan is something mirrored by Armand, who would inherit
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: not only the form but his dreams. Certainly a crushing moment.
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: Number seven Attack on Titan sees it four episode eight
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: Assassin's bullet Ah Yes, setting them up two by two
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: like Noah's Ark. Well, what can we say? Attack on
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: Titan is just one of those series with a lot
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: of sad moments, and there are very few moments with
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: as much impact as the death of Sasha. Blouse being
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: active in the attack on Titan discussion threads during that time,
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: I can tell you it was certainly a shock. Plenty
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: of posts talking about how bad Gabby was, as well
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: as a few other things probably too harsh to mention here.
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: To be honest, while obviously we hated seeing the death
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: of Sasha, I also realized that Gabby's actions weren't unwarranted.
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: I mean, the Scouts were in Liberio that day to
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: help Erin who was ripping it apart. Aaron literally shows up,
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: eats the president, collapse a building that he himself stated
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: was packed full of innocent women and children, kills Udo
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: and Sophia and makes the Warriors look like big babies
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: in the middle of their homeland. This was an atrocity
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: on par with the fall of the Shiganshina in terms
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: of bloodshed. We didn't blame Aaron, Armin and Mikassa for
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: seeking revenge against the Warriors, so why would we blame
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: Gabby for doing the same. There are no real heroes
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: or villains. An attack on Titan, just besides the original
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: King Fritz, who started the cycle of hatred. But you know,
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: even though I understand Gabby, though it doesn't make the
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: episode feel any better. After watching innocent women and toddlers
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: die an indoctrinated child soldiers perish, it only hurt more
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: when Sasha took the bullet. Watching Connie cry begging her
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: not to give up was so painful. For so long,
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: Sasha was the other half of Connie, and when she died,
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: I feel like a part of Connie died with her.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: Later on in the season, when Annie shows up and
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: starts stuffing her face with pie, Connie laughs at her,
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: and it hurts so much because we know that this
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: laugh is a callback to Sasha, who used to do
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: the same. The laugh is bittersweet because the scene is funny,
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: but it also reminds us that Sasha's gone and will
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: never witness her eat another unless, of course, we watch
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: Attack on Titan Junior High. Then we get to see
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: all of our favorites return in She beforem which is fun,
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: but we're not here for fun today. We're here to suffer.
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: So the death of Sasha is what we're focusing on
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: right now, and after her death, Gabby ends up escaping
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: and staying with the Blouse family, which is ironic. But
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: from here we witness Gabby breaking away from her indoctrinated
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: views that all Eldeans are devils. As the moment that
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: she admits that she killed Sasha, the patriarch of the
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: Blause family is offered the opportunity to kill Gabby and Falco,
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: and yet he denies it and decides to forgive them.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: The rest of the family isn't much the same, but
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: the actions taken there are the actions of passion due
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: to a broken heart. In the end, the Blause family
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: still forgives them and Gabby would be left speechless. Number
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: six Demon Slayer Mugen train. The Demon Slayer series has
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: always been one to bring unexpected levels of heart to
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: the table. Protagonist Tanjirokamado has been searching for a long
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: time for a way to heal his little sister Nesko
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: of her demonification at the hands of the villainous demon
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: king Kibutsuji Muzan. During this journey, Tanjiro trains to become
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: a demon slayer, and despite it being his job to
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: kill the murderous demons who seem to devour humans without remorse.
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: His kindness is so great that even when his demonic
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: opponents perish, he's always there to see them off with
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: tears in his eyes. Tanjiro truly makes every demon death
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: of tragedy in this way, as we realize all of
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: the victims of the demon, and the demon themselves being
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: the grand victim who had merely become twisted by someone else. However,
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: one of the saddest scenes that made waves through the
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: fandom was the death of kio Jiro Rengoku during the
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: Mugen Train movie as well as the Mangan anime arcs
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: of the same name. Kyojiro was the Flame Hashira, a
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: title he inherited from his father, and was one of
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: the many pillars to the Demon Slair Corps, whose sole
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: job it was being to kill demons, most specifically the
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: twelve Kizuki, who stood directly under Kibutsaji Musan. While on
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: the train, they may contact with one of the twelve Kizuki,
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: a demon named Akaza, the upper rank three demon of
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: the twelve Kizaki. Over the course of the movie, the
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: train is beset by demons, and Kyojiro makes a vow
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: that not a single one of them will die, them
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: being the people the demons, not the demons. He's gonna
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: kill the demons, and to that point he's led to
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: face off against a Kaza. However, the battle concludes with
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: Kyojiro taking a fatal shot. Despite his grand power, which
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: is even hailed by the likes of Inoske, he still
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: falls and dies under the upper rank third demon. In
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: his last moments, Kyojiro would witness his death mother asking
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: if he did okay, to which he would state he
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: did wonderfully. Then the flamboyant Hashira offers one last smile
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: before dying. This hit hard. While we hadn't seen all
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: too much of Kyojuro before this, we did witness the
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: Hashira standing there above Tanjurou along with the rest of
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: the pillars of the Demon Slair Corp, wondering if a
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: trial was even necessary for Tanjiro, given that the boy
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: was responsible for protecting a demon Neziko, from being slayed
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: by another member of their corps. He trained hard under
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: his father beside his little brother, in an attempt to
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: become a Hashira himself. His hard work eventually brought him
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: up to the rank he desired. His character was loved
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: enough that despite us not seeing all too much of him,
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: we still felt a hole in our hearts when he perished.
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: The Demon Slair Corp Will never be the same, and
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: he certainly will never be replaced. There's a gaping hole
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: in the Demon Slayer's ability to protect the world from
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: demons now, and that poses a large threat, which insinuates
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: that the series will only grow more and more dangerous
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: from here on out and shows us that no matter
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: how strong you get, there's always someone stronger, and eventually
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: even the mightiest of us are toppled. A Kaza does
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: still die, though it is through suicide, so I guess
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: Akaza avenged Kyojirou on himself. Number five. Full Metal Alchemist's Brotherhood,
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: Episode ten, Separate Destinations, Mays Hughes, That's all I need
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: to say, right, No, Well, I guess I'll explain it
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: for you if you missed Full Metal Alchemist. Mays Hughes
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: was a soldier and alchemist in the Amestry and military
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: who served the series for comedy relief. Mays Hugh's biggest
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: yag was that he was so proud of his family.
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: He had a beautiful wife named Gracia and a daughter
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: named Alicia. He had a habit of pulling out an
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: image of these two and showing them to his compatriots
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: in an almost compulsive manner. In the two thousand and
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: three anime, he even goes so farest to show the
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: crowd a large picture of his family during the duel
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: between Edward Elrick and Roy Mustang, which garnered him much scorn,
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: mays Hughes was upbeat, and his love for his family
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: was so great that you couldn't help but love the man.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: But as anybody who has a shred of media literacy
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: knows anybody who's happy with their family and can't wait
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: to go back to them, this is a pretty big
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: death flag. Things began to grow more and more serious
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: as he continues his various investigations. As Hughes begins to
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: look through the records of every major war that has
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: occurred in the history of Amestress, he realizes with utter
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: horror that each battle corresponds to a single point on
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: a transmutation circle that is normally used to create a
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: philosopher's stone, an object formed from the blood and souls
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: of sacrificed human beings. He's confronted by Lust, who tells
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: him that he's learned too much and attempts to kill him. However,
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: Hughes manages to survive the attack, burying a knife he
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: had concealed into Lust's forehead. He rushes to the telephone,
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: where he attempts to call fear her King Bradley and
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: inform him of it. When he suddenly realizes that this
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: sort of operation couldn't go on without the notice of
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: the Amestrian government and Bradley's involvement uncovering the conspiracy, He
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: hangs up the phone and attempts to escape, hoping to
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: find a phone booth with which he can call someone
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: he trusts. However, as he flees, he drops an image
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: of his wife and daughter. This leads the other Hamunculus
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: envy to him, who is disguised as Second Lieutenant Maria Ross.
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: She points a gun at him and tells him to
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: hang up the phone. Hughes mentions that she isn't the
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: real Maria Ross, as she's missing the mold under her eye,
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: which suddenly materializes to Hughes's amazement. Hughes attempts to stab
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: her with another knife he had concealed. However, the homunculus
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: spies the photograph of Hughes's family on the ground and
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: suddenly transforms into his wife, Gracia. The idea of stabbing
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: his wife causes Hughes to hesitate for a moment, a
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: moment that Envy uses to shoot him in the heart,
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: killing him. He's then posthumously promoted to the rank of
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: brigadier general for dying in the line of duty. Sad yeah, well,
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: it only gets worse. We get to witness Hughes's funeral,
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: and during this funeral, Elicia, Hughes's daughter, doesn't understand the
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: concept of death and is wondering why they're burying her
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: father when he still has so much work to do.
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: She cries out for them to stop burying her father,
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: an action which causes all of those nearby to cry,
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: including Armstrong and even King Bradley, who's practically responsible for
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: Hugh's death. Mustang later notes that he finally understands why
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: Edward and Alphonse Elric attempted to use human transmutation to
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: bring back their mother, and as he looks up to
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: the clear skies, he notes that today's a terror day
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: for rain, before proceeding to cry himself. This scene is heartbreaking,
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: but there is one more scene from this series that
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: I'm sure you're wondering where the hell on this list
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: it is. It's in the next slot, number four. Full
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: Metal Alchemist Brotherhood Episode four, An Alchemist's anguish look. You
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: knew it was coming. This one is so sad that
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: it's actually kind of become a meme. And I think
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: I share it so much because I don't want you
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: face the horrific truth of the scene, so I make
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: a stupid little joke about it so I don't have
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: to think too hard and start spiraling. Anyway. The name
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: of our subject of sorrow now is Nina Tucker. She
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: was the daughter of the state alchemist Showtucker, who was
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: down on his luck. He was hoping to find a
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: grand discovery to allow him to keep his funding to
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: continue his research. However, he had reached a roadblock in
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: his studies and was working on chimeras at this time.
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: Edward Elric and Alphonse Elrich show up here to do
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: some research and meet the girl. She's sweet, playful, and
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: quickly befriends Alfonse, who himself is still a child at heart.
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: Together they play with her dog Alexander and have a
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: grand time while Edward focuses on studying bioalchemy. Show Tucker's
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: dedication to his fields of study, though, required quite a
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: bit of his attention, leaving him unable to play with
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: his daughter as much as he should, and Edward and
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: Alphonse both understand this, as they were children of an
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: alchemist as well their father, Van o'enheim. It's revealed by
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: Nina that their mother abandoned her and her father in
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: the past, and now it was just the two of them. However,
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: what she didn't know is that Show had used her
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: as a test subject in his experiments, transforming her into
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: a chimera, leading to her death. As the yearly inspection
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: is coming closer, Show makes a desperate move and transmutes
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: both Nina and her dog Alexander into a single chimera,
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: which is his second chimera capable of speech. He shows
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: Edward and Alphonse the chimera, which at first amazes Edward,
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: but when the chimera begins to innocently utter the words
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: Edward seeking to play with him, Edward understands what's truly happened.
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: In his rage, he turns around and beats Shoe Tucker
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: within an inch of his life, all while Nina cries,
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: begging him to not her daddy. Edward acquiesced to her desires,
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: which all Show to survive the encounter. However, he would
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: report this incident to Mustang at Eastern HQ, Roy Mustang
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: shows up and Show Tucker and Nina are to be
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: taken into custody, with Show being planned to pay for
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: his crimes. However, before they do that, a rogue alchemist
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: Scar appears and goes ghost rider on the man, using
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: his destructive alchemy technique to kill Show. Nina cries over this,
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: speaking only the words daddy is hurt over and over again.
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: Scar laments the fate of the child and believes that
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: the best thing he can do is free her with
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: a mercy killing using alchemy, which he performs on the
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: girl the same as he did on Show Tucker. As
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: he leaves, he utters a prayer for their souls and
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: disappears into the rain Man. Man. We're getting into like
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: the real heavy stuff. Now. This whole videos is a
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: big bummer. Speaking of number three Neon Genesis Evangelion, the
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: end of Evangelian Ava hardly needs an introduction. Hidiakiano's magnum
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: Opus of Mechanime depression, creative frustration. It's a historic series.
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: If you haven't, if you're an anime fan and you
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: have it, watch Neon Genesis Avangelian. You really owe it
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: to yourself to do that because it's a huge part
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: of like the anime canon, the series focused on a
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: highly depressed boy with plenty of emotional baggage who somehow
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: gets chosen to pilot a massive mechanical cyborg creature known
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: as an Evangelian. The whole crux of the series is
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: that sometime in the past actually was September tenth, two thousand,
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: Humanity accidentally awakens a being known as Adam, who was
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: a planetary seed that was designed to create life on
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: the planet but was usurped by Lilith, who was the
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: basis of human beings. The beings, known as Angels, then
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: begin to awaken to reclaim their progenitor Adam from Humanity
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: to initiate Third Impact to end Humanity. Instead, Humanity destroys
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: all of the Angels and initiates Third Impact all on
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: their own. The series originally ended with a two episode
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: story arc known as Human Instrumentality. I'm fully going offscript
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: here because the writer said that this ending is stupid,
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: but I will defend this ending with my life. You
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: can fight me on this and I will die on
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: this hill. Yes it was confusing, Yes it was basically
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: two entire episodes of Shinji's therapy. Yes, the entire art
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: direction and art style the series fell apart. But if
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: you watch the series knowing what Hideakiana was going through
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: during the production of the series, it makes so much sense.
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: The story and production of Avangellian is so tied into
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: Hideakiano's personal life that it seems impossible to try to
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: disconnect the two. Shinji's emotional journey was clearly the main
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: focal point of the series, and also, I'm not really
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: a huge fan of mech anime anyway, so I was
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: all for the ending. I was completely behind it. I
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: stand by it anyway. Congratulations you made it to the
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: end of the rant. But because of Ava's enduring popularity,
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: the story of course couldn't have ended there. So they
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: gave us a new ending in the form of a
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: movie that depicts how Instrumentality began and better yet, how
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: it stopped. The movie is pretty heavy and pretty dense,
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: with a lot of iconic moments in the AVA franchise
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: involving Oscar versus the mass produced avas that Sela created,
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: as well as the birth of Actually, I don't know
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: if this has a name. Most of the fan base
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: just call it Naked Ray. This is an interesting concept,
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: as the being gathers the souls of all humans on
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: Earth into itself to experience love as a single, perfect
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: being with no flaws, well, one flaw being that it
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: invited Shinjy to be a part of it. Shiny in
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: the end rejects human instrumentality to return to the real world,
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: and in doing so, kills the massive angel as its
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: body falls apart onto the devastated planet Earth. We're shown
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: that the only survivors of the worldwide mass extinction event
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: are Shinjy and Osca, who we assume are set up
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: to repopulate the ruined Earth, covered in massive body parts
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: and deposing Evangelians. However, we are absolutely wrong, as Shinjy
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: immediately gets on top of Osca and begins to strangle her.
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: When he finally gets off, she just calls himpathetic. The
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: scene has truly earned its place. We're left with a
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: world that has no life left on it besides Shinji
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: and Osca, and the two hate each other, an absolutely
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: destructive ending number two made an abyss. Dawn of the
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: Deep Soul made an abyss is a notoriously dark show.
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: While it is a show with plenty of adventure and
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: scenes that make us question how legal it is for
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: the author to even be writing the sort of show,
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: it also has some scenes that are quite dark and gory.
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: As previously stated, the death of Middi was the one
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: that struck the fan base pretty hard. But then I
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: made the mistake of watching Dawn of the Deep Soul
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: after this and only gets struck by an even darker storyline.
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: But what did I expect? Middy was a byproduct of
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: edo front of which the movie is all about. Not
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: only do we have to sit through a torture scene
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: with one of the protagonists, reg which really made me
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: think that the author gets a kick out of writing
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: torture stories, but were introduced to the movie's ultimate villain, Prushka.
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: You see edofront is ran by a mad scientist known
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: as Bondru the novel Sovereign of the Dawn. He's a
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: white whistle who has no value for human life whatsoever,
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: and continuously reincarnates Arochi Maru style through the use of
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: his relic, the soul slave machine Zoahalic. He has a
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: group of delvers with him, known as the Umbrahans, who
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: are all puppets of the Sovereign. His experiments generally revolve
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: around finding ways to enter the sixth Layer and leaving
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: it alive, which is generally impossible due to the curse,
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: which causes anything ascending from the sixth layer to lose
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: their humanity and become a flesh blob like Middy did. However,
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: his experiments on homeless orphan chill ldren such as Nanachi
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: allowed him to discover that if you sacrifice someone who
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: loves you, you may ascend from the sixth layer and receive,
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: instead of a curse, a blessing which turns you into
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: an adorable, fluffy rabbit person thing. He seemed to value
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: the lives of none of the children. However, he did
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: have one child that was special, a girl named Prushka
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: who was born in the Abyss. She was the daughter
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: of one of the Umbra hands and was claimed as
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: Bondrud's own daughter when he first meets her. An accident
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: involving bringing her up through the fifth layer, causes her
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: to lose her mind and go insane, ripping out all
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: of her own hair. One of the umbrahnds says it's
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: probably best to euthanize her to spare her the pain,
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: but Bondru decides that all it takes to save her
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: is a little love. He picks up the child and
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: hugs her, causing her to calm down. As her hair
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: begins to grow. He continues to love her, but as
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: she hides in a small alcove refusing medication, Bondrey brings
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: her a new friend, a pet named Mania. This causes
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: Prushka to come out of the hole as she displays
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: her first signs of affection of something. This day is
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: the day Bondrud dedicates as her true birthday, the day
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: she learned how to enjoy life. She continues to grow
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: and make progress, even becoming a normal girl, talking with
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: Manya about all the things that she wants to learn
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: about and experience. However, Mania leads her to a steep staircase, which,
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: as she climbs, forces her to experience the fifth Layir's curse,
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: once more, returning her to an invalid state. However, Bondrud
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: declared that she has come from an even darker state
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: and continues to show her affection. She returns to her
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: happy state, noting that her hair oddly is now curly.
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: This path leads her to meet Rico Regan Nanucci, who
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: are on their way to the Sixth Lair. However, as
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: they get there, a conflict is instigated by Bondrude in
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: which he tortures Rag to learn more about him and
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: saws off his arm to learn more about the Incinerator.
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: This leads to a battle in which Bondrud's body is
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: dropped into the Sixth Lair by the small Android and
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: forced to take on the curse of the Sixth Lair
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: before being crushed by a boulder. Pushka cries for him,
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: only for Bondrud's soul to pass into the umbra hand
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: protecting her. He says he'll never leave her and is
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: immortal so long as he has her love. However, this
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: is all a ploy. Bondrude wanted to gain the Blessing
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: Life anoogy, and it's revealed that he never loved Prushka
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: and wanted to use her as an experiment as well.
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: He takes her into a room, strips her down and
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: puts her under anesthesia, where he proceeds to mark off
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: areas for her body that are no longer necessary. Pusha
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: begins to sleep, though she awakens every once in a
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: while to make note of the body parts Bondrood is
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: removing from her. Even witnessing him removing her legs and
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: internal organs made an abyss fun adventures for the whole family.
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: In the end, it's revealed by Nanachi when they enter
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: a room that Bondrud takes children, removes all unnecessary parts
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: save their brains, spinal cords, select organs, and then closes
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: them up in their own flesh and places them in cartridges,
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: which he uses for experiments into entering the sixth Lair
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: and exiting without dying. He had just made Prushka one
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: of these, and during his final battle with reg it's
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: shown that when Bonvroud returns with the blessing that he
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: had used Prushka, Bondrood is defeated and killed, though he
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: reincarnates again later because the zooholic is still active. However,
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: Prushka isn't so lucky. She takes the curse and it
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: is only through Ma that Rico Reagan Nanucci recognized her.
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: Rico cries out for her as blood gushes out of
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: the cartridge, and even at this point she still thinks
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: only of Bondrud. Rico screams at how unfair this was
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: and all the lost adventures that they had planned. However,
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: the one saving grace here is that Pushka becomes a
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: life reverberating stone, which would later become Rico's white whistle.
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: From this white whistle, Pushka can still experience everything Rico
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: does and still talk with her and select others such
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: as Fapwitza. So, now that I've basically detailed to you
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: the plot of an entire movie, what could the number
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: one spot be? I'm sure a lot of you are
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: already screaming at me. So here it is number one.
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: Grave of the Fireflies. Also the whole movie Lord Give
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: Me Strength. Released April sixteenth, nineteen eighty eight. The anime
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: is Sadly a semi autobiographic film based on the book
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: Barefoot Again. The story revolves around Japan post World War Two,
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: where a family surviving the end of the war, having
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: their home firebomb during the war, are left starving. Put simply,
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: this is a movie about two children starving to death,
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: and that's not really a spoiler. The opening scene tells
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: us where this movie is going. The story starts out
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: with the main characters, Sata and Setsko, escaping their home
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: during a firebombing air raid by American B twenty nine.
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: He rushes to the sea to protect himself and his
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: little sister, but his mother is killed. She's subsequently thrown
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: into a mass pit and cremated. He gathers a few
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: bones in a tin and carries it with him. He
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: and Setsko move in with their aunt, who's a bit
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: demanding and Sata pretty much avoids all responsibilities. Setsko cries
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: at night, and this all causes friction between the two
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: and their aunt. At some point, they decide to leave
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: and live in an old refuge that survived the bombings. There,
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: they release fireflies within to provide light. However, the next day,
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: he awakens to find his sister digging a hole for
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: what she claims to be a grave for the fireflies.
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: This causes Sata to cry, remembering that his mother was
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: denied the same. He begins to barter for food from farmers,
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: but they slowly start running out of money, and Sata
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: begins to start stealing food and loot bombed buildings for
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: more supplies, but Setsko starts to grow ill. Sata finally
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: takes her to a doc who informs him that she's
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: starving to death. Sata awaits the return of his father
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: from war, however, they slowly continue to starve. Receiving word
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: that their father, a naval officer, was killed in combat,
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: Seta empties his family's bank account to buy food, but
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: by the time he gets home, his sister, who is malnourished,
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: is already hallucinating that the mud and marbles she has
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: surrounded herself with is food. Sata quickly attempts to cook
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: the food, but while he's cooking, his little sister dies.
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: He discovers this and mourns her, putting her in a
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: wicker basket that he then lights on fire. He then
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: puts her ashes into a tin as well, which we
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: see get thrown away in the opening scene, and Sata
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: proceeds to go to Sonomia station, where he also succumbs
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: to malnutrition and dies. His remains frivolously stated to be
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: a bad impression of Japan by its citizens who want
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: to display their nation. When the American troops show up
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: to occupy it. The ending is meant to let us
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: know that nobody cared that he was dead, and that he,
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: his sister, his mother, and his father were all ultimately
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: forgotten and died in the middle of something they had
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: no control over. It was as if they never existed
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: at all, and nobody cared. War is an uncaring beast
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: that meets human suffering with indifference, and Grave of the
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: Fireflies is a sober reminder of the humanity behind the statistics.
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: Human lives are torn apart by war every day, even now.
• 32:15

  Speaker 1: of the list. But what are your own personal top
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: ten statist anime scenes that you can think of? Sadness
