I want off ekoo Hadas wild ride is what
I would say except you know Here I am
and they're his new show is I mean
homeboy Kunihiko empanada is the best
way I can describe him is an hour tour
of animation in Japan the works that he
likes to make and he is known for making
our very out-there they don't make a lot
of sense on a surface level and deeply
require you to kind of dig in a little
bit further into the work to try and
understand things and of course there's
always the chance that you're not
understanding anything at all because
that's just how this is a GU Hara is the
kind of director that would take his
main character and give them a
transformation sequence into a car and
then have the audacity to say that he's
not going to explain why this happened
because as soon as he explains it then
that would be the like the the the Canon
explanation for why it is and he much
prefers everything to just kind of be
open to interpretation
that's paraphrased by the way that's not
direct word-for-word quote for what he
said but that's pretty much his general
like idea and thought process for a lot
of the weird he does to the point
where today's show the title of it is
written in hiragana why is this well
because then it doesn't have the context
of the kanji so you can take the
individual parts of the title and
interpret them however you want this is
his thing and the problem that I have
with this sort of thing is that you
could say and you can assume you can
predict all of these different types of
symbolism and and interesting thoughts
that aku harder could be trying to
express or he could literally be pulling
things out of his ass because that's
what this show is about actually so in
the immortal words of Valerie Frizzle
seat belts everyone
here we go
[Music]
this first reaction is brought to you by
viewers like you
thank you before actually talking about
suttas on my properly I should probably
give a little bit of a brief background
on my thoughts on e qu Hara because well
actually not just Iike Hara but ego
hores works just by the by in case you
haven't noticed this whole video is
unscripted I was supposed to be talking
about fruits basket this week but then I
watched this episode and you know here
we are
my relationship with eco hurrahs work
has been kind of weird he has a lot of
diehard fans and for good reason there
are a lot of different things that he
likes to attempt to express or at the
very least he expresses a bunch of
things and a lot of people like taking
them particular ways that's fine I go so
far as to have this right here which is
a complete collection of revolutionary
girl lieutenant this is the series I was
referring to before about the whole car
thing granted that was the movie and
almost where I think that he kind of
jumped the shark for a long time I kind
of had it in my mind that yes he was an
art or but there came a point where he
started believing his own or at
least that's kind of how it seemed and
it's hard to actually blame him for
doing that sort of thing when you have
people that write pages upon pages of
things like the ending of the original
Evangelion series to try and explain the
symbolism behind the couple of episodes
where they just literally ran out of ink
the bastards like at that point you can
do no wrong when you have diehard fans
who will try and explain any
thing you had in front of you why try I
did an arts degree in university the
amount of times that I made up
for marks is insane now that's not to
say that that's what he's doing I'm just
saying it's possible and he's probably
doing it a little bit so I love
lieutenant why it's here it's why
anything that you can actually see on
this shelf is here it's here for a
reason but as much as I like lieutenant
and as much as I like his work on Sailor
Moon fascinating works both of them
everything that he's kind of made since
everything that he's kind of made after
the new 10 movie which i think is the
jumping the shark moment for me
liked as much mama - penguindrum I
thought was the first time that I I went
into a show and I thought I enjoyed it
and then the more that I kind of sat and
thought about it the more I was just
like now this really isn't kind of my
thing
same with you - come on Arashi there are
a lot of things about it that are
probably really great - a lot of people
not my kind of thing I will say with
penguindrum though that it does have
probably my favorite transformation
sequence in any magical girl type anime
ever and that music is phenomenal and
you should go at least watch that bit
that makes it almost worth watching but
by and large those shows are not the
kind of thing that I like well that I
like or that I recommend I'll recommend
you tena - Helen back and you know
Sailor Moon but Sailor Moon for other
reasons but a lot of ego Horrors work
probably not so then this season comes
around and I put up a video only a week
or so and I did not mention this new
groundbreaking work by kunihiko EBU Hara
and I had a couple of people ask me why
but now that the episode is out in the
world I've seen it it's on crunchyroll
how high is the level of
well that's open to your own
interpretation so what is sadhas' on my
about it is about a group of three young
high school boys who end up pissing off
a kapa God the Kappa is an amphibian
youkai a demon of sorts
go watch yokai watching something but
they end up pissing off this God and he
decides to then extract their souls and
deepest desires from an organ within
their anus there's a lot of butts stuff
here I feel like a lot of this video I
don't know how much I'm gonna cut out
it's just like me staring off to the
sides being like wow I'm really talking
about this I'm talking about some some
demon that is eating young boy's ass
first and then telling them to go in to
the anal cavities of other demons and
steal their desires this is what my life
is now like I can't go back from this
the apparent goal of this series is now
these boys will have to do this a bunch
of times because they have been
introduced to this magical wacky kind of
demon world and now they have to deal
with it why so many things just from a
logical perspective don't make sense and
I knew this going in and if that's what
you're hoping for I'm sorry that's not
happening here when ecoo Hara decides
that the moment that he wants to put the
amount of focus on as much focus on as
possible give it the best animation in
the entire episode is the very moments
where a demon frog consumes a young boy
starting with his ass and you know I'm
gonna sit down for a moment I have a
chair here I'm gonna sit down ah I've
been standing for awhile by the by see
here's the problem I'm having I can't
explain this show two years I can't why
because my explanation I'm moving the
chair back my explanation why might not
be what you're expecting might not be
your takeaway from it I can do my best
to explain my perspective what I took
from it and and how I am interpreting
the symbolism and the themes of the
series but really this is a show that
you need to watch not because it's good
we haven't got that far yet but because
it is it is literally the most unique
thing
of this season unique is a very strong
word that I'm using one of these days I
think I'm just gonna have to sit down
and try to go over lieutenant kazoo tena
from the 90s like the only reason I've
never made a video on antenna ever is
because I thought hey there's no way I'm
gonna be able to make a video series
about it Sena that I'd be happy with in
order to try and explain everything
because you can't explain everything and
this is literally the exact same thing
good luck trying to explain it you can
try but this is not a series that you
can take lightly so that's my unscripted
recommendation filled with disbelief
watch it it's weird it is it's weird as
all right as long as you're warned
so long as you understand that you're
good really so thank you everybody who
took the time to watch this meandering
thank you everybody for taking time to
watch this video I hope you enjoyed it
question mark I don't know
and thank you for everybody that
supports me on patreon so that I could
watch shows like these and just stare
and disbelief at a light in in the
distance because that's what I do
this is my
alright so I'm gonna go and talk about
fruits basket which you'll see later go
watch the show tell me what you think in
the comments I'm very interested
yeah stay frosty
