And also, considering the limited material Youtube allows from the actual series, the music was essential to add to the flow and pace of the video. You really need the whole entire episode to get those raw emotions through, and in my opinion, Joss Whedon should've made that episode longer. The sound of the actors' voices are also really essential to the context. Again, this was well put together, all things considered.
socially inept character unravels and expresses her need to understand the human nature and the natural flow of things. Along with the Willow's neurotic response, it just really creates a lovely display of the different ways we deal with grief.
Anya's usual callousness throughout the series was really pushed hard in the beginning of the episode, and we all thought she was just being Anya. The way Emma Caulfield uses such her brusque tone of voice that it just adds layer after layer of tension until Willow finally snaps at her, and for the first time we see the usually tenacious Anya as a confused and hurt... Well, human.
And that, in my opinion, was the beauty of that moment, when the seemingly most shallow and hardned as well as
Anya Always Gets to Me bc We all Either Know or Will Know Someone who Has Passed and We Will Never Truley Understand Why Bc one Day they are they And Then theyre Just Gone and We Dont Understand Why they Have to Be...
Agh, trying to find clips is impossible with all of these dumb fan made music / slideshow vids. There was actually a purpose for the lack of music in this episode.
Great video. I loev this episode. Its so beautifuly tragic. The whole Anya speech scene was just amazing, Utterly heartbreaking. Shes like an innocent child who doesnt understand. Makes me cry everytime ='(
joss and the cast and crew did an amazing job with this episode, to show death. i can remeber when my grandpa died going through all these motions as well as others around me. everything about this episode gets to me ( anyas speech was brillant) you did a great job with the song and pictures
I never cry or get emotional when watching TV or a movie or anything. But Anya's speech...first time I ever did. Plus I cry harder if I watch it now because of my brother's passing a couple of years ago. Her speech hits home now.
This is one of the saddest episodes ever, especally with Anya's speech. That makes me cry alot. I thnk what's most shockng about Joyce's death is that she died from a natural cause, which was never seen on the show before she dies...! R.I.P. Joyce!!
this was the most emotional episode ever for me on Buffy...it made me do more than cry...it made me call my mother(who i dont particularly talk to) just to make sure she was okay...nice job
a great, and unexpcted episode the first time joyce in the living room as buffy called upstiars, i was like wtf? (seeing her on the couch like that) poor thing... i am going to watch the episode now
This one was a very very sad episode, and it was very sad also. Everytime i watch wuth my friend me and her cry, and have to have confort food, like ice cream, everytime we watch this episode.
when i first saw 'the body' episode it was very emotional, and i really thought joyce had come back when buffy gets that vision,and then you realise,and its like noo! they did that episode very well,with no music,and like the worlds still going by,but buffys has stopped right there,like joss sed in the special features!
season 5 is quite a sad season,with buffy dying aswel :(
This episode breaks my heart. I have seen it maybe five times and it makes me cry every single time. The scene where Buffy finds Joyce is even more powerful because they didn't use any music. Buffy is always so strong and capable; she just doesn't go into shock like this. And she yells "we're not supposed to move the body!" to Giles, and the scene where she has to tell Dawn, and when Anya doesn't understand ... It is all so hard to watch and some of the best television I've ever seen.
i think that the reason that episode made people cry was because, buffy was used to loosing people cause of vampires and demons ect but her mum dying she couldnt do anything about it
ahhhh this episode gets me every time, my own mother died of a brain aneurism much like Joyce did, and the point where Willow is trying to find clothes and Anya's frustration guts me everytime. Death is like that, it's so stupid and mortal and I never really understood why they couldn't just wake up again. I miss my mum every day.
Anya's speech in this episode is just devastating. Willow, Xander, Buffy, Dawn all of them just broke my heart. Fantastic episode and great acting. Oh yeah, excellent video!
yeah, I was really sad but I just broke down sobbing at anyas speech because it shows perfectly that no one can really truely understand death and Anya who is normally so strong just breaks down

i think is the most perfect episode... in the most terrible way. like someone said before with buffy its just an escape from the real world that face every time u walk out the door or even turn on your television....
it just shows that these incredible writers really do understand the effect it would have on us... just having Joyce of all characters just die a natural death, we didnt really see that coming... and hit them just as hard if not harder than everyone who is devoted to the show......
It's weird, for me buffy was such an escape to a fantasy world with scenarios which you can only imagine and unlimited possibilities. Yet this episode hit me so emotionally; something I wouldn't have expected from buffy. Everyone involved in this episode portrayed a stark reality of death in a world of magic and supernatural causes we were so reliant on when watching.
it was so sad that she had gotten flowers and when buffy shouted NO were not suposed to move the body that was so sad. willow started me off crying. lol
Willow started me off crying too. :( And then I cried through the rest of the episode, especially when Anya says Joyce will never do things again during her speech. It's one of the best, and definitely the most sad episode of Buffy ever made.
there are a few moments in buffy and angel that really made me cry hard. Like in angel in the one where buffy comes back and he turns human but has to change back and she forgets. I thin it was called i will remember you or something. That had me crying like a baby lol. And when fred died i cried so hard lmao.
On the dvd commentry joss whedon says he wasn't expecting that kinda strong reaction from anya's speech at all and yet he and the other writers wrote it so perfectly
omg yup that was the frist time i cried because of buffy
when buffy frist saw her mom i was in shock like her then when she told dawn the same thing
then when anya said her speech i was weeping like a baby
i still do every time i see that that part tor my herat emma cluafiled who plays anya did an amazing job she should have won a emmy for just that speech lol
Why is it people always feel the need to bring back a great show that had a great run and a conclusion? Buffy, Star Trek TNG, Avatar. We should be celebrating these shows in their entirety, and having them be inspirations for new shows, not trying to recapture glory days.
@CreepyBlackRaven Yeah me too. I can't help but cry even when I'm just reading it. It's beautifully written and heartbreaking and strangely inspiring to me. It's....it's just beautiful.
@petercomet1 OH! Angel has such a hairy burger of love down there. Too bad spike moved his vagina to his face so it isnt as fun for Buffy's mom to pry open his legs with her FRENCH FRIES! but at least he can orgasm/blow job from angel's manly juices of hope and dreamy dreams :D but poor Giles he is still a virgin so this is y he must WATCH spike and buffy's granny go at it for horny reasons!WILLow has the PENIS and Xander doesnt have a penis OR VAGINA so she must place it in his belly button
I don't really think "My Immortal" by Evanescence is a cheesy song. Sure, the episode is famous for not having any music in it, save from the theme song and the low-volume background music during the flashback scene, but I think this song does this clip justice.
I've heard only good things about this episode but when i ordered the fifth season it was missing the disc that had this episode on it so i've never been able to see the full thing and when i tried to contact the people i got it from you refused to respond.
her mom had a heart attack and was dead when Buffy got home. She tried to save her but it was too late. I was okay until Anya started crying and then i ended up crying. Then when Buffy had to tell Dawn...it was so sad.
Buffy's mum didn't die from a heart attack. She died from a brain aneurysm as a belated result of the removal of her brain tumour. And Buffy told Dawn before Anya's speech about how she didn't understand death.
I love this song!! And I love how you used it with this vid! When Joyce did, I cried so hard! Wow, and seeing this video just made me cry too! Great job!
Because Whedon and the other creative staff intenionally shot the scene in a specific way, with silence being a big part of it. All I can say is watch the original episode, 'The Body', the episode in which Buffy finds her mother Joyce dead. It's one of the most moving epsidose of a tv series I have ever scene, mainly because it is so "real". Not sappy, no sad songs, no distored clips on Youtube. Just watch the episode and you will see what I'm talking about.
I've seen it beleive me, I've watch it more than ten times and well i think you are right in a way but in the long run this video wasnt sappy it all it was work put togeather and the song wasnt even sappy. I think she did an awesome job and even if you dont like it i think people should of gave her a round of aplause because she even made the attemp to recreate a scene from Buffy that not alot of people have tried before and if shes reading this GOOD JOB(:
I agree.....it was the first time that something rehashed memories of having to dealh with death of a loved one. It was the most touching, realistic, and hardest piece of film I have seen. I know that things don't last forever, but I wish the show did. Never had a show I have seen been so real in the human condition to me. The Cast & Crew have much respect and admiration from me.
on a technical level alone, thie is very good. the thought behind it even better. you have to be a buffista to really enjoy it. possibly one of the best uses of the dawn character!
This is one of the best episodes of any show, ever.
