  I remember hearing in one of your videos a while ago you got laid off and were putting more time into this…. Prolly right before you started this channel. I hope everything is going good for you and I appreciate your videos a lot

  Having played Earthbound as a pre-teen/early teen, the Spielberg ref makes total sense, kudos to you all! :D

  Saw a Mother documentary just came out from a channel that is new to me, so I came running. Wonderful memories with these games.

  Okay, who is in charge of the music? Hitting me with Wild ARMs, Illusion of Gaia, and then Luna&apos;s boat song? You can&apos;t beat someone that hard with a nostalgia hammer!

  The Mother series needs a collection release and a remake release, all translated for NA too

  Sorry for the Google translation.<br><br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kYmfz_AINlc&amp;t=755">12:35</a> I was so happy to see Eikichi Yazawa mentioned in Shigesato Itoi&apos;s explanation that I wanted to comment.<br><br>I believe that the most influential work Shigesato Itoi has done is Eikichi Yazawa&apos;s autobiography.<br><br>Many people became artists pursuing their dreams because of the autobiography.<br><br>Eikichi Onizuka from GTO and Josuke Higashikata from JoJo&apos;s Bizarre Adventure are modeled after Eikichi Yazawa.<br><br>The catchphrase &quot;Great&quot; and that hairstyle were popularized by Yazawa.<br><br>Shigesato Itoi and Eikichi Yazawa regularly have conversations, and what Yazawa says is the complete opposite of his appearance; it&apos;s philosophical like a high-ranking monk,<br>like the Marilyn Manson interview in the movie Bowling for Columbine (lol).<br><br>I continue to watch the videos to see if they introduce any more information that is unknown outside of Japan.<br><br><br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kYmfz_AINlc&amp;t=755">12:35</a> 糸井重里の説明で矢沢永吉が出てきたので嬉しくなってコメントします。<br><br>糸井重里の仕事で一番世間への影響力があったのは矢沢永吉の自伝だと思っています。<br><br>自伝の影響で夢を追いかけるアーティストになった人が沢山でました。<br><br>GTOの鬼塚英吉とJOJOの東方仗助は、矢沢永吉がモデルです。<br>二人が使う「グレート」という決めゼリフや、あの髪型は矢沢永吉が流行らせました。<br><br>定期的に糸井重里と矢沢永吉は対談をしていますが、<br>矢沢永吉の喋っている内容は見た目とは真逆で高僧のように哲学的であり、<br>映画ボウリング・フォー・コロンバインのマリリン・マンソンのインタビューみたいなものです(笑)<br><br>これからも日本人以外にはしられていない内容が紹介されているか確認するために動画を見てます。

  I worked in a mom-and-pop video game store years back and I was fortunate enough to actually get to hold one of those English earthbound NES cartridges, collector really seemed to get a kick out of blowing people&apos;s minds!

  I rarely ever find it necessary to feel like I want or need to comment on any youtube videos, but sincerely you guys are very quickly becoming one of my top 3 favorite channels on the site. Keep up the good work and I look forward to the next video 👍👍

  Your choice of ending with a song from Undertale hits extra hard, given Mother/Earthbound’s deep entrenchment with the history of Undertale, and Toby Fox’s gaming journey overall. I heard that familiar tune and IMMEDIATELY I was back in that little game :’)

  This was a thoughtful and highly engaging video. You did a wonderful job Daryl, Colin, and Chris. I knew 0 about the Mother series and found a deep appreciation for it.
