Rekindle the Light - How Studio Ghibli Inspired Tears of the Kingdom Beyond Ghibli 2023-08-26 | Tears of the Kingdom, like Breath of the Wild before it, wears its inspirations on its sleeve. In this video I look at the many ways the work of Studio Ghibli helped shape this duology, the themes they share, and the lessons they impart. Ultimately, this is a love letter to the Legend of Zelda - a series that shaped us all.This is a relatively spoiler-free video, containing plot elements only from the first hours of Tears of the Kingdom, That said, visuals of enemies, characters and locations from throughout the game are present.Check out 'With Eyes Unclouded', my original video about how Studio Ghibli inspired Breath of the Wild here: youtu.be/2fPz7kGduT4Consider supporting me on Patreon: patreon.com/BeyondGhibliFollow me on Twitter: http://twitter.com/BeyondGhibliSpecial Thanks to Mark Brown from Game Maker's Toolkit ((youtube.com/@GMTK) and John Walsh from Super Eyepatch Wolf (youtube.com/@supereyepatchwolf3007) for lending their voices to this video.All original artwork was created by Saku.

The Rise of the Android - Time of Eve & Sing a Bit of Harmony Beyond Ghibli 2023-05-15 | There's a preoccupation in the library of director Yasuhiro Yoshiura, a theme that - over the years - he has approached from multiple different angles: the rise of the android. Whether focusing on the secret lives of robots or the joy a singing android can bring, he's explored our cold companions in fun, philosophical, but always entertaining ways.Are you enjoying the Time of EVE?Consider supporting me on Patreon: patreon.com/BeyondGhibliFollow me on Twitter: http://twitter.com/BeyondGhibliSubtitles by Fevol#SingabitofHarmony #TimeofEVE #YasuhiroYoshiura
Josee, The Tiger and the Fish - Between the Beasts and the Sea Beyond Ghibli 2023-01-28 | Josee, the Tiger and the Fish is an oft-adapted piece of writing. Originally penned by Seiko Tanabe and weighing in at only a handful of pages, its multiple iterations speak to a timeless importance. 2020s animated outing is a standout in that lineage, a beautiful picture that fully explores Tanabe's themes of a beastly society, the majesty of the ocean, and the Françoise Sagan of it all.

Because Its There - The Summit of the Gods Beyond Ghibli 2022-11-21 | The Summit of the Gods is many things - a treatise on the tenacity of the human spirit, a deep-dive into the most unfathomable parts of our psyche, and a stunning entry point into the library of legendary mangaka Jirō Taniguchi. But most of all, it is a simple question: why do we climb?This video is, more than anything, an homage to the climbing community, and that was only made possible by cribbing copiously from the various documentaries and movies that community has produced over the year. Sections of this video are a montage of those works of art - all sources are listed in the credits, as always, and I encourage you to go check out each and every one of them for truly stomach-turning, soul-affirming cinema.Consider supporting me on Patreon: patreon.com/BeyondGhibliFollow me on Twitter: http://twitter.com/BeyondGhibliSubtitles by Fevol#JiroTaniguchi #TheSummitoftheGods #LeSommetdesDieux
Golden Kamuy - The Spirit of Hokkaido Beyond Ghibli 2022-09-30 | In the frigid tundra of Hokkaido, a violent hunt for gold is painting Japan's white north red. Satoru Noda's Golden Kamuy is a great many things - an exploration of native Ainu culture, a treatise on what war does to those that survive it and an explosive tour through history's broadest strokes. But most of all it's just a bloody good time spent with incredible characters. Ridiculous and heartfelt in equal measure, Golden Kamuy is nothing short of a masterpiece.

One for the Aegis - Celebrating 13 Sentinels Beyond Ghibli 2022-05-03 | 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim is one of the greatest stories ever told. Beginning as a love letter to 80's classics and science-fiction staples, Vanillaware's wild opus quickly becomes something entirely unique. It's atypical structure - a story told from thirteen different perspectives spanning multiple decades - is a daring risk that pays off in increasingly unbelievable ways. It truly is one for the Aegis.Consider supporting me on Patreon: patreon.com/BeyondGhibliFollow me on Twitter: http://twitter.com/BeyondGhibliOriginal art in this video was created by Saku (twitter.com/Shiiverse)Thumbnail by Dani from Lines in Motion (youtube.com/c/linesinmotion)Subtitles by Fevol#13Sentinels #AegisRim #Vanillaware
Girls on Fire - A Place Further than the Universe Beyond Ghibli 2022-03-08 | A Place Further than the Universe has a lot to say about the human spirit in its succinct and sweet thirteen episode run. Its four leads are as indomitable as they are insecure, tackling a setting both brutally harsh and strangely romantic. But why do we do it? Why do we leave warmth and safety behind to leave fresh tracks in untouched snow? Inspirational and demanding, A Place Further than the Universe muses upon that strange summons... and comes to beautiful conclusions.

Falling for Patema Inverted Beyond Ghibli 2022-01-28 | It's easy to fall for Patema Inverted. The core conceit of its duelling gravities make for a bewitching stage, as does the boy-meets-inverted-girl narrative playing out upon it. But it's director Yasuhiro Yoshiura's constant themes of togetherness - a theme that unites his entire library - that makes the piece something truly special.Consider supporting me on Patreon: patreon.com/BeyondGhibliFollow me on Twitter: http://twitter.com/BeyondGhibliSpecial Thanks to Dani from Line's in Motion for help with the thumbnail!Subtitles by the always fantastic Fevol.#PatemaInverted #YasuhiroYoshiura #AnimeMovie

Star Wars Visions - The Return of the Lightsaber Beyond Ghibli 2021-10-09 | In 1977, an icon was born. The Lightsaber - ethereal in nature and terrifying in power - became the symbol of Star Wars, and would go on to define this series for more than forty years. As the franchise evolved, however, so did its sabers.

We Are MOTHER - The Nintendo Series That Belongs To Us Beyond Ghibli 2021-05-09 | No crying until the end.In Japan, MOTHER is a beloved trilogy of strange, funny, heartrending games - but when it released in America as Earthbound, it didn't enjoy the same success. Retrospective, documentary and celebration all at once, 'We Are MOTHER' looks at the history of one of Nintendo's most peculiar properties and how, against all odds, it found lasting success because of a small, impassioned, and unrelenting fandom.

Vinland Saga - Those Violent Delights Beyond Ghibli 2021-03-01 | Vinland Saga is a phenomenal piece of Viking fiction - packed in equal measure with kinetic violence and beautiful humanity. Over its fifteen years in publication, mangaka Makoto Yukimura has given us one of the medium's best works - one that has truly earned the saga of its title. Vinland Saga was originally recommended to me during 'Patron Picked Purchases' over at the Beyond Ghibli Patreon - an annual event where I'll read and review a manga of your choice! For the month of March we're doing PPP again, and anyone who pledges $5 or more can do just that.

Tokyo Godfathers - What We Were Missing Beyond Ghibli 2020-12-18 | At the end of a rough year, Tokyo Godfathers proves to be the film we all need right now. It's a Christmas movie that stands shoulder-to-shoulder with the greats, and champions a message of kindness and togetherness.

A Moment to Breathe - Hana, Alice & Shunji Iwai Beyond Ghibli 2020-11-25 | Shunji Iwai is a fascinating director. His work explores humanity, the wonderful good, the terrifying bad and everything in between, through a series of stunningly captured moments - moments that Iwai allows to breathe in leisurely extended scenes. In this video I explore his filmography through those moments, and dive into one of his most underappreciated gems: the animated masterpiece that is The Case of Hana & Alice.

The Best of Bitesize Anime Beyond Ghibli 2020-07-31 | Short Form anime is a medium that understands the value of time.

Terrace House - Japans Coziest Export Beyond Ghibli 2020-04-19 | Japanese television, much like the country itself, is often made out to be loud, colourful and absolutely bizarre.

An ethereal show about a world on the fringes of our own, where the ghost-like Mushi play, it is content to to court its viewers in leisurely fashion.

The Second Chance of Ocean Waves Beyond Ghibli 2020-02-10 | Ocean Waves feels like a very different type of movie from Studio Ghibli. In a library of films that look back to the magic of childhood, Ocean Waves dared to look forward, to the relative mundanity of adulthood. As a teenager I wrote it off as the 'one bad Ghibli movie', but now - nearly twenty years later - I've rediscovered it as a new favourite. Today I'm hoping to get anyone who wrote it off in a similar manner to perhaps give it another chance as well.

The View From The Summit - How Haikyuu Makes You Care Beyond Ghibli 2020-01-16 | Haikyuu is a show that is easily skipped. It's a sports anime about volleyball - a niche genre about a sport that pales in popularity compared to other ballgames. But Haikyuu trascends those limits, offering a show with such wide appeal that anyone can find something to love in it. It's one of the best anime I've ever seen - and as someone with little interest in sports or sports anime, I almost never saw it - so today let me take fifteen minutes of your time. That's all I need to convince you that Haikyuu might just be one of your favourites too.

Neon Genesis Evangelion - Hope & Despair Beyond Ghibli 2019-09-29 | In 1995, director Hideaki Anno unleashed a show that would subvert expectations, enamour a nation and forever change the industry it was a part of.

Haibane Renmei - The Girl Who Fell to Old Home Beyond Ghibli 2019-07-29 | The work of Yoshitoshi ABe is at once comforting and haunting, melancholic yet hopeful, and this dichotomy is at the heart of Haibane Renmei - his doujin-turned-anime series about loss, love, and halos.

Tales from Earthsea - The Power of a Name Beyond Ghibli 2018-12-25 | Tales from Earthsea, known as Gedo Senki in Japan, was a polarizing fantasy film from Studio Ghibli, and debut feature of Goro Miyazaki - son to the most beloved animator of all time.
