I can see where you're going with this, but this video is WAYYYYYY to much as a starter. The whole paranoid library assistant, Ada, going on about the world ending is like listing to a conspiracy theorist going on a crazy rant.
It should have started right the apocalypse happened, then go slowly to fit in necessary facts and details (with some build entertaining tension and suspense) with 1 or 2 points in an later episodes episodes.
Maybe this one can talk about the importance of generating electricity, exploring not just coal, but also wind/water turbines as well. And how handmade radios is used, how and why does the crystal works, and how to make one of your own. Then next episode is turning paper into sugar with flashbacks from the time before the apocalypse, like a flashback of the time when she talking to the brewer, then got an idea to use a brewers kit for it. Then that when we hear how paper is converted and etc.

The animation is gorgeous, but. Am I in the wrong demographic to understand this video The main messages I got are: Libraries are abandoned places, where lonely, mean people work. Smart people have learned that pure science is useless and it’s better to make alcohol, and if there’s an apocalypse, people will be mean and selfish, won't listen to reason, and even those who mean well will compromise their morals to protect themselves. I can understand a counter-Disney culture, and it's surely educational, but it feels. odd.
reply

I think one skill that would be really important in an apocalypse is communication.
We can see that Ada's way to talk to the people doesn't work at all and is actually detrimental to her finalities.
I think we all painfully know, that just being in the right does not suffice to convince people to do something.
Instead of searching contact to outsiders, Ada should first try to connect with the community in her town, because, like she said, you need a big amount of people cooperating to make infrastructures work.

i remember feeling like i was always the one fading into the background while others stood out effortlessly. it was frustrating and made me doubt myself a lot. then i came across this book, Magnetic Aura by Takeshi Mizuki, and it showed me things i’d never even considered. it’s not just a self-help book; it’s like a guide to understanding your own energy and using it to connect with people. if you’ve ever felt like you’re not seen, this book might change everything.
reply

The needs really depend on what kind of apocalypse you're dealing with: Nuclear, cold, heat, flood, relentless extreme weather phenomena, plague, mushrooms, global blight/collapse of food production, crab, totalitarian tyrant empire, drought, giant bugs, deforestation, isolation, exhausted oil, meteor, religion, science, financial reset, easter island, super bacteria, solar flare, or a complete break down global communication in a pontipool tower of babel situation.

there was a time when i kept wondering why some people seemed to naturally draw others in while i was justthere. no matter what i tried, i couldn’t figure out how they did it. then someone mentioned the book Magnetic Aura by Takeshi Mizuki, and i decided to check it out. the way it explains how your aura affects everything around you it blew me away. it’s like having a secret code to unlock your magnetic energy. this book is a game-changer.
reply

one night i was scrolling through my phone, feeling like i’d never figure out why some people just seem so magnetic. then i came across this book, Magnetic Aura by Takeshi Mizuki, and something about it caught my attention. reading it was like turning on a light in a dark room. it’s not about pretending to be someone you’re not; it’s about unlocking the energy you already have. trust me, this book is worth every page
reply

This animation made me a bit ambivalent. On one hand, I appreciate and enjoy the marvellous animation. On the other hand, I disagree with the scenarios urgency for electricity; a resource and luxury humanity has lived without up until - for scale - quite recently. I'll give the presentation a like and look intrigued towards the hope of the next episode to be a little more. catered to my own selfish perception of reality
reply

i used to think being magnetic was just about looks or confidence, but i couldn’t have been more wrong. i read this book called Magnetic Aura by Takeshi Mizuki, and it totally changed my perspective. it breaks down the energy and mindset behind true attraction in a way that just makes sense. once i started applying what it taught, i noticed people reacting to me differently almost instantly. it’s seriously worth a read.

Native American history is the best apocalypse strategy because after smallpox and tribal warfare they kind of lived in an apocalypse. 90% of pre-Columbian people were killed. The nations we're familiar with like the Lakota and the Arapahoe are the 10% of Survivors who adapted. Be like them and live nomadically, follow the food supply, trade when you can but be ready to fight. It worked once, it can work again
reply

This is ridiculous, it is directly mocking the seriousness that the apocalypse deserves. It is clearly an absolutely worldly and atheistic vision of the end. So if you prefer to die rather than the glory of God, there you go. I don't think the lucky charm will be useful to you, you better start praying.
10: 07 Return to God as soon as possible, that would be the appropriate response.

reply

In my experience, people usually only care about a polluted river once it catches on fire. There isn't really an appetite, especially now, for large scale, systemic changes, or preparation.
Also, personally, I am not a fan of this kind of format. I think your other videos which explain without a narrative story are more instructive/interesting.

reply

I think about this all the time. And I think about how violently and completely civilization/society can break down amidst catastrophe, war, etc. It fills me with such dread to contemplate existing in anything remotely close to a post-apocalyptic world. If I didn't have people that depend on me, I'd probably check out at the start of such an event.
reply

This is just my personal opinion, but i feel like the 2D art style that is shown when they are in the apocalypse scenario is vastly more aesthetically pleasing than the 3D style. Of course, maybe in each episode there will be a different art style for each scenario. Nonetheless, I enjoyed this quite a bit and I look forward to more!
reply

7: 12 woah, I never thought that in an apocalypse, people would use the radio to broadcast information about how to survive, like once you get the radio you get a very primeval internet and can do way more than before. In shows its always used to locate the next place to go because, well, that's a very helpful narrative device.
reply

The fact that we're getting this for free is crazy! It feels a bit random coming from you but it's so great! If the rest of the episodes are anywhere near as good as this one, this series will be a banger!
It's definitely early to say this now, but I could totally see more seasons of this!

reply

Can't wait for your episode on How we can power our world with nuclear power Or will that be too controversial for Ada How about contemplating a world with universal income A world where people act rationally and logically! That should be simple enough to contemplate.
reply

I'm sorry, I just wouldn't want to survive. I've never had an apocalypse fetish, I think it's strange, wanting to be one of the few survivors, watching so much of humanity and society collapse. It sounds miserable, I don't understand people who fantasize about this.
reply

wow. where did this come from: O I do like that not one person is totally right all the time, further showing that in this scenario, if you're willing to survive, it would take different kinds of people, and a lot of proper communication and explanation.
reply

I don't understand
There can't be a whole town who do doesn't want to communicate with outsiders and Ada is the only one, Even if a small town the odds of Ada being the only one who wants to communicate and help outsiders is impossible right.
