Chihayafuru - The Power of Flashback & How We Start Stories

Well I'm way past the due date on this blitz submission, but hey Chihayafuru is worth the wait. In this video we talk about the first 4 episodes of Chihayafuru S1, talk about why flashback is a powerful tool in building emotional through-lines for the story, what beginnings need to achieve in a general sense, and why I was sold on Chihayafuru after the end of that fourth episode. It's my usual look at story structure baked into a fun karuta-romp with adaptation discussion because I have a disease and talking about adaptation is the only cure. #Chihayafuru #ReplayValue #Analysis Follow on Twitter:   / value_replay   Support on Patreon:   / replayvalue   Join the Discord:   / discord   -------------------------------------------------------------------- Music: Colony 9 - Xenoblade Chronicles Remastered OST Gazing over the Great Plain - Octopath Traveler OST Chihayafuru Main Theme - Chihayafuru OST Goal - Haikyuu OST Anime Featured (in order of appearance): Mushishi Bunny Girl Senpai Movie A Silent Voice Bakemonogatari Girls Last Tour Chihayafuru Vinland Saga Hyouka ID:Invaded Sirius Grand Blue The Promised Neverland Dr. Stone Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood Made in Abyss Sangatsu no Lion Thumbnail Art & Logo: Drawplex Special Thanks: @lucisekai
