Anime Youtubers/Reviewer Reccomendations and Discussion. - Criticisms of "AniTubers", Discussion of them, and Reccomendations of people that have any kind of air of normality and decent content.

Anybody remember fucking Mr. Anime?

Ah yes. My favorite. His opinions really shot through all the bullshit. You could say he was a killer reviewer.

 

[SpergPatrol]

I used to watch whatthewut then he started going full coomer towards the idol girl animes and it got super creepy really fast

I can't really name a good anime reviewer anymore because they all end up either becoming big degenerates, moral busybodies shilling for crunchyroll, or very obviously lost their passion for the topic and chase the trends to stay relevant.

Heck the trash taste podcast that most of the time they don't even talk about anime, even the biggest people in the anitube sphere don't even a shit about anime themselves anymore.

yes i do... i think i'd count him as one of the better reviewers not even mentioning his highly amusing end

the fact is the whole genre of anime is japanese "barney" designed for mentally drained workers doing 80 hour weeks, so when you've seen one show you've seen em all... even the fanboy reviewers become aware of this against their will and start doing gimmicks and bits that have nothing to do with it over time. digibro's transon family antics have been more entertaining than any of his older shit ever was, so we can only hope the decline comes faster for these grifting channels and we witness more fun and games.

Honestly, I respect Sydsnap for being open about her love for anime titties, ugly bastards, and the weird and bizarre that pushes YouTube's buttons. I like her genki energy, might just be me. I'll never watch (maybe) or read any of the stuff she talks about, but hey, someone's gotta talk about them, I guess. I prefer her over Gigguk, though the Trash Taste podcast makes for good background material, and you can definitely tell the three of them are bros.

Kenny Lauderdale sadly seems to be the only anituber worth the watch (though occasionally I'll go back to rewatch some Arkada reviews), and at this point, I only use Bennett the Sage as a checklist of "Hm, haven't seen that yet, I'll go watch it". I'm honestly bummed that good anime reviews aren't really a thing, least not in the English-speaking sphere. Disheartening, too, because I've considered trying my hand out on doing reviews, but I'm a procrastinating ass, and I think I'd fare better bouncing it off of another person anyway.

Now there is this bloke I was randomly recommended about a year ago who every year releases a Higurashi retrospective. It's in the style of Internet reviewers (similar to how Linkara did his History of Power Rangers series) cracking jokes as he goes through the arc from beginning to end, but I don't think he's all that bad. I've been entertained by him, and I'm looking forward to his "Eye-Opening" retrospective whether it comes out this year or next.

It always seems that they always have really young audiences for some god awful reason.

I think this thread would be way more appropriate in the Community Watch subforum.

The AnimeTuber I find the least insufferable and I'm currently subscribed to is, as I'm writing this, ThatAnimeSnob, because the absolute state of this cursed community is just that bad. Most of them could easily be TGWTG rejects, are blatant shills, they have flaccid takes, the charisma of used toilet paper and/or their assburgers is off the charts. AnimeTubers are a lolcow ranch akin to BreadTube as far as I'm concerned.

I gave SuperEypatchWolf a chance and I'll be the first to admit that I enjoyed his video on fake martial arts and on the decline of The Simpsons. But him coming off as a boring sperg with a questionable chromosome count make watching most of his videos easier said than done. His video on anime fight scenes was a try-not-to-cringe challenge I failed every time.

I have mixed feelings on Cody Baier and the boys from Anime Outsiders in general. Some of his takes are interesting and informative, I really appreciated his attempt at calling out the IStandWithVic grifters, but then again he does unironically love Dragon Ball Super and associates himself with the likes of Ethan Ralph's gimp j*nny Gaytor. Not to mention the 'tism he's oozing by being a WeebTuber after all.

 

[fearlubu]

To this day the only one that I actually enjoy is Demolition D and he's too busy being a drunken fuck of a human being to do anything. Outside of one video from last year, he hasn't made anything since 2016 despite being completely active on twitter.

Consider him retired. He's tired of being DMCA'd. He seems to be happier in his new home. Hopefully he gets back into writing.

I just want SOMETHING from him, I don't care what.

Still my favorite video on Mr. Anime

 

[Scarlett Johansson]

Anime America does all kinds of videos, not just reviews btw. Top 10's, vlogs, podcasts,
And they have a little thing called Insanimania where they use audio from popular media over anime clips. They're at the end of every video review and they even have compilation videos.
(They made fun of this weird anime where the girls become like....war ships or something?)

 

[Jazz never died!]

Most of them suck but that goes for everything being reviewed. The only two i like are Kenny Lauderdale and Sakura Sunshine. Because they cover more older and obscure stuff. Maybe that appeals more to me because who gives a fuck about the billionth review of Neon Genesis we all know its good and changed how people fap to anime.

 

[Lambda 11]

I just want SOMETHING from him, I don't care what.

Apparently he went to college and has a twitch channel he exclusively streams on from time to time where he is extremely obnoxious, unfunny, and cringe with his retarded college roommate. not at all like he was in his former youtube career.

Been a few years since I last checked if even that is around anymore. Last I remember he was streaming Dragon's dogma and telling a story about how much he sucked at cooking and he freaked out on his roommate and stunk up the apartment because he fucked up a pot of pasta with some FilthyFrank tier bullshit.

Can't blame him for not wanting to put up with globohomo's ban happy bullshit anymore and quit while he was ahead.

 

[Kiwi & Cow]

Can't give any recommendation on any anime Youtube channel because I pretty much hate them all and I hate over 80% of animes ever produced because it's the same schlock everytime and also because they push fanservice for weebs who want to ship random characters together or want to see something suggestive in their asian cartoons.

Tho I follow a Moviebob killer, really a very funny person with well edited videos.
I'll leave the channel link below.

[Diet Purple Pepsi]

I occasionally listen to Tekking101's old videos as background noise, just because I liked watching his stuff when I was younger. It can be a little cringe-inducing with some of those old skits and tangents but it's a nostalgic kind of cringe for me.

 

[Interchanger]

No one's mentioned the self proclaimed king of anime, YoungDefient. He's got this super hardcore, down on the streets, gatekeeper persona. I'm pretty sure he's a trollsona.

To be fair he has a pretty good taste in anime, Monster was a good recommendation.

 

[Cup Noodle]

I don't watch anime reviewers but I watch some anime related content. I like this guy's sense of humor, but he's apparently 18 so that's the level of humor you should expect.

He's not afraid to ask the hard questions such as

or

 

[AnimeGirlConnoisseur]

1. Someone already mentioned it, but Kenny Lauderdale is great. I ended up watching Armor Hunter Mellowlink, because of him and I had a great time. My only problem is that I wish he made videos more frequently.
2. I know of this one dude called The Canipa Effect. I only saw some of his videos (this is the one that introduced me to him: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Haa0J8oEyWA) and I think some of the stuff he puts out is pretty good.
3. OP seemed to have forgotten about Mother's Basement, who is a category of bad anime Youtuber all to himself.
4. Red Bard has made some interesting videos in the past, but I think her video on localization is cringe as fuck.

 

[AmbiTron]

Not sure if it has been said yet but I kinda dig Scamboli Reviews. Decent voice, sometimes says funny shit and doesn't seem to be a COMPLETE degenerate at least. He does manhua/manga and anime review stuff. Wish Demo D would produce content again but I doubt that'll ever happen.

The Best Webtoon/Manhwa I Have Ever Read

Hellper is literally the best piece of Korean media that I have personally consumed. Pretty spicy. Second Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXyJ4wKlY...

www.youtube.com

I think this was maybe the first video of his I saw, and yes Hellper is fucking amazing if you're into manga/webtoons/etc

 

[Jonah Hill poster]

Heavenly Controller (now simply Heavenly) is the perfect definition of AniTuber.

How do you go from doing this:

To now doing this?

In just a span of two years?

 

[Fentanyl Floyd]

Digibro pre-2017. Some people found him pretentious, I liked him and the fact that stirred shit up with other anitube faggots. I started to get sick of him when he basically abandoned his main channel in favor of making unedited content for his Digibro After Dark channel. I finally quit watching him around when he and Mumkey Jones had a falling out which was I think late 2017 or early 2018 iirc. From there everything that has happened up to this point, happened. I watch his old videos from time to time, it's nostalgic for me.
Ass War is one of the best analysis video series he did

also this video lol
