This is one of the best episodes of any show, ever.

Weird I just watched in Season 4 where Buffy says she hopes her mom has a funny aneurism.

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.
Well done to both you and Joss Whedon.

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.

Why her?
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.

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.
