Great video with solid analysis I'd say—as usual, {el problema es el capitalismo|the problem is capitalism}
—and I think he does a good job of weaving that in with the literary analysis. Perhaps the historical literary analysis section drags on a bit, but as far as video essays go it's not a major offense. Also, the paper he mentions, Ambient Literature and the Aesthetics of Calm: Mood Regulation in Contemporary Japanese Fiction, is on Anna's Archive (haven't had a chance to read it yet).
edit: also, this video once again reminded my of how fucking annoyed I am that some power-tripping Wikipedian got demographic information (i.e. shōjo, shōnen, josei, seinen) batch removed from the infoboxes of all manga pages on English Wikipedia. It's pertinent information!
