I honestly don't know, at least not for new shows. Personally it comes down to the kind of content the youtuber covers, which sets different tolerance levels in me for what turns me off their videos. I really like Sage's Anime Abandon series for looking at older shows but he also covers a lot of the ultraviolent OVAs from the 80s and 90s and all that entails so it's not an automatic recommendation.

see that's my speed. I love the early days of punk rear end anime.

Or the Silmarillion which might just be one of the greatest creation myths/epic sagas ever written and also wildly unlike either LOTR or Hobbit depending on which version of the tales you read.

MB recommending onimai is where I started to lose interest in the channel, and of course the mushoku tensei defense as well, and his naive love of worldbuilding

there probably are chill anitubers but they likely don't have a lot of subscribers because they're not talking up the big/mainstream series. there's that whole anituber list linked in here the other day and maybe at some point i'll go through it and see what's worthwhile in there

what gets me are the guys who rec weird pervert anime and then also dock other anime for like, being mildly horny or having one off bit. like mothers basement getting mad at sword art online for using sexual assault as a cheap way to make the bad guys seem evil. which, yeah, but you are the guy who likes mushoku tensei.

Jesus you made me go look at his recap of of Dungeon Meshi, and selling it on "cozy cooking comedy" is not only underselling the real charm and depth of the series' character writing and dry humor, but it's going to upset people when it hits the darker spots in the story later. Also no idea where he's going by comparing Freiren to Tolkein. I love Freiren, but it's not going for a Tolkein approach to... anything.


E-and calling it a "5e cookbook" is dumb, considering Ryoko Kui's drawing a lot of influence from the waaaaay-older-than-5e-D&D-CRPGs like Baldur's Gate 1 and 2
Yeah she even made a portrait pack for BG1 and 2.

Arc Hammer posted:

There's really almost nothing that is comparable to Tolkien and I don't mean that in a bad way, his writing comes from a vastly different mindset than the "I'm going to write a fantasy story" thought process usually creates. But it does make me wonder if the people who compare something to Tolkien because it superficially resembles Middle Earth really know what the guy was about.

I get more Witcher vibes (minus the fairy tale satire and postmodern political riffing) off of Frieren than Tolkien.
I'd say Fall from Heaven captures the feel of Silmarillion second age stuff well, but it's a Civ 4 mod from over a decade ago.

I hadn't realized he was an actual creep. What'd he do?

Only thing I really remember about him is that he'd occasionally use deep cuts for BGM in his videos, like 'Cats On Mars' or 'Reckless Fire' from Cowboy Bebop and Scryed respectively.
Then again, the last anim I watched was Eiga Koe no Katachi and that's getting close to a decade old.

Is that why mihoyo is so willing to tell the weird "finger pinching motion is feminist propaganda" online mob to go gently caress themselves?

MIhoyo is a land of contrasts. Honkai Impact 3rd, just as an example, starred an almost entirely female main cast and the two main characters were explicitly in a relationship and even kissed on screen. But as the game got more and more popular (roughly around the time Genshin was announced) they dramatically cut back on basically all of that, introduced a dude who became basically the key focus of the plot and slowly dialed the two main characters back to just being very good friends. There was also a somewhat infamous moment where they were, for the first time, having an event exclusive to the global release of the game and the Chinese playerbase got so mad about it that they just straight up canceled it and removed it from the game entirely then gave the Chinese players a bunch of apology currency. The Chinese version had multiple exclusive events the global version never saw. One of the key complaints about it was that it made the characters "look like whores" among other, similar, things; meanwhile the Chinese version of the game almost universally had skimpier and "uncensored" costumes for basically every character.

Mihoyo is basically always going to go for profit above anything else, and so if telling those people to gently caress themselves is the way to go they'll do it.

Heads up: For a while he would change the thumbnail and title of his videos a whole bunch, so there's a good chance that you may get the same video over and over again bc of that. That being said, I do like his stuff a whole lot. Kenny please make a video about Kinkyū Hasshin Saver Kids so people actually give it an english sub. I don't know how a show like that gets stuck between "Fully uploaded on NicoVideo", "fully uploaded egyptian arabic sub" and "Paywalled tape rips of the really good castellian dub of it." Monkey Punch made a mecha show and it rocks.

Creepy or not, for me Gigguk and MB and most anitubers are mostly entry-level tier stuff. Nice if you're surface level or just getting into it, but utterly useless if you want to something more than flavor of the month.

Also that channel has videos on both Bastard and Angel Cop, I am now interested in this channel a lot.

there is no universe where duke nukem would not be a trans ally



A thing that turns people off from doing anime youtube is that anime rights owners are really really vigilant in their take down requests. It makes discussing anime on the platform risky because you either feature no footage of the show and risk turning your youtube channel into a podcast, or use footage and risk a takedown and copyright strike. Kenny got hit by this on a few of his videos, which is largely why he's stopped doing them.

He also defended Made in Abyss in that very video, so I don't think he's a very solid dude in any regard. He just likes his pedophile cartoons when the children are being hurt, rather than when they're being creepy perverts.

he described onimai as having 'anime bullshit', and dawg you gotta be more candid than that. 'might end up on a list' is a better description

The opening of Onimai is what Alex would be forced to watch nowadays during the Ludovico technique.

You can't be more candid than that opening.
