Top Comments of this video!! :3
"I lived in bumfuck orange county for 3 years and I literally forgot the world still contained beauty, because the only colours other than sidewalk gray and dusty beige I ever saw was relegated to a seniors-only golf course I biked past to get to work."
Ah, the 'suburbia without a car experience'.

This whole video has me thinking about something. My late grandfather had a tiny, primitive cabin on this remote lake up in Northern Wisconsin. As I got older, my grandfather would insist on keeping me and my brother up there for an extra week where he basically let us just do whatever the hell we wanted. He had this ancient slot machine that took nickels in the cellar. He would give us a roll of the nickels at the start of the week and the only rule with them was once youāre out youāre out. The lack of rules and guidelines created this environment where there was no clear path ahead of us and meant that we had to figure out what to do with ourselves. I spent a lot of time teaching myself how to fish, memorizing the different parts of the lake, scavenging for firewood, eating like an 1800s pioneer, etc. It was, as you said, boring in the least pejorative way possible. There was very little up there, and barely anything to work with to keep a 9-14 year old me occupied, but the time I spent there still stands out as one of my favorite memories from my childhood. I lost him recently and itās been really hard on me, but a lot of these shows and games you present seem to capture the feelings that I felt up in the northern woods throughout my youth. Thank you so much for sharing these, Iām going to start watching them this weekend

The part about class + shame/isolation is... accurate. I remember in high school I would feel bad because I couldn't work bc both my parents worked and I had no transportation bc my area is not walkable. I felt I couldn't even mention food banks around others, to the point where I had a bonding moment with a girl bc we both had Halloween oreos in April (obviously from the food bank in town)

Itās such a shame that loose backgrounds to anime cels are virtually worthless despite how beautiful they are and that they are hand painted. Every now and then when I get anime cels the sellers will throw in loose backgrounds that donāt have matches just to get rid of them. This video really makes me think about those.

5:07 Agh, no, not the Pokemon Emerald soundtrack! You can't pull me into a sense of nostalgia for a Japanese inspired countryside like that, that's cheating!

Camping is not something you have a good experience doing, it is something that gradually gets less and less miserable until you look back on your improvement and feel accomplished.
Also, as your misery slowly lessens you get to look around at nature more or some nerd crap like that.

39:00 I think that element of "unlike your old world, you can save this new one" is one of the reasons I've always felt uncomfortable with the super escapist class of isekai (My Next Life as a Villainess rules so it gets a pass imho). The other world is somewhere you have power, unlike here where you're powerless. Lots of people feel powerless, and reinforcing that makes it true like a self fulfilling prophecy. Isekai frequently feels almost black pilled in that way, a kind of nihilistic giving up on hope and focusing on a new world the same way as evangelical christians and other death cults. My Next Life as a Villainess and its subplot of pining for the proto-romance relationship with the MC's best friend, cut off by her death and rebirth, or even Re:Zero's Subaru missing his parents, these elements are grounding, humanizing elements that are so completely absent from Robinson Crusoe-ass trash like That Time I Got Reincarnated As A Slime.

One āpeaceful apocalypseā piece of media I rarely see talked about for some reason is Zanki Zero, despite the fact that it was published by Spike Chunsoft and fuckinā¦ monokuma is a secret boss in it??? but I really enjoyed it when I played it and I think people who are fans of this aesthetic would also enjoy it.
Itās about a group of cloned humans who awaken on a floating island many years after the end of humanity. thereās a zombie thing going on but most of the enemies are animals that are implied to have evolved further over the years (example: massive hermit crabs that use the rusted out bodies of cars as their shells) and the main focus of the gameplay is surviving and gathering resources while dealing with every characterās unique trauma. It was interesting seeing their pain still being played out as they learn to accept it in a world where the source of that pain is long gone.
Anyway, uh, I liked it, but itās worth mentioning that itās got some Weird Anime Shit and that when I say traumas I mean a range of things including literal physical and sexual abuse. So anyone whoās interested might want to keep that in mind. Also, the pacing gets kind of bad at around the halfway point.
