| from the few vids ive watched he doesn't really say anything that no one here has said and hes way too whiny for me idgaf about analysis and i love generic anime and he hates it, so ofc i don't care to watch him, but then again i don't read or listen to reviews at all as a person who doesn't really call any anime shit, its annoying to see people call everything they don't like bad |

It's not a bad thing at all, and there are some generic ass shows that even I still loved watching. As long as he doesn't act like an obnoxious edgelord who says shit because they're like "herpy derp, I offend people because being offensive is such funny" then I can't really get annoyed by some of the shit he says about anime. At the same time I see people who hang on every single word he says, or what any other anime reviewer says, and try to replace their own opinions with theirs. -_- just watch your freaking animu and love/hate whatever the hell it is people! lol |

| He's fine, I haven't seen a lot of his videos but he does seem like a pretty intelligent guy and he does make some good points. |

Jou-dan said: do you think he's right most of the time, makes stuff up, projects too much? what do you think of him? I personally think he makes too many long videos. I'm not gonna sit there for 6 hours listening to what he thinks about Erased I also think he makes a lot of interesting points about shows, but he presents his feelings about things as fact way too much, lol I get the strong sense that he has a bit of a "moe weakness" So he is prone to giving Moe Blob shows more praise than they really deserve. Otherwise, pretty accurate. |

| Here, an opinion on why Digi overhypes his shows |
 It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; What is essential is invisible to the eye.But does the heart have the right perspective? |
Once again I cannot at all take TAS even slightly seriously. Just in the first 6 seconds TAS accuses Digibro of being "pretentious", which coming from TAS? Oh, the irony. Also TAS' constant accusations of pedophilia are borderline SJW. Even as a "moe fan" myself I dislike the way Digibro overanalyses slice of life anime like K-on, and yes, Digi is pretentious in this sense, but TAS' "slamdown" falls flat because it's based on memes and baseless accusations. "Because nobody has a problem with moe" Erm, almost everybody has a problem with moe! You don't have to look around on the internet for long to find that "moe is the cancer killing anime" is by far the most popular and acceptable position to have, at least on western discussion boards. |
| Dere boring iz di only thing i can say |

Yeah, pretty much, thing is people will praise such superficial elements because they are mistaken into thinking that appearing mature is the same as actually being mature. |
Take that phrase (or all the phrases really) in the context of what digi is saying. He's using sarcasm to relay the message. Silly? Yeah, Snob is cringeworthy a lot of times. I do agree with his points there. |
| It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; What is essential is invisible to the eye. But does the heart have the right perspective? |
| I've just seen a couple of videos from him but they were enough. He just tries to please all of his watchers as much as he can, he never goes too in-depth, reiterates about unimportant things and incorporates relativism to his discourse at his convenience. The worst of it all is that he's dishonest, it is just another snob pretending not to be one. His constant condescending tone makes it quite clear. |
 |
That is Called being Nit-picky. Yh I watch his Vids but even I do not always agree with him especially with his Erased and Boring taste Vids. I find Erased to be a pretty good show until the Disappointing ending. However, the Likes of Glassreflection and Bobsamurai just seem to be more trustworthy. Mamster-P said: he makes a video: "why good anime is hard to make"...... but... whats "good"? anime HE likes? well yes but also Anime that can be liked by: - ppl from outside the Anime Comunity/Non Otakus - Veterans in Anime And can also be liked without others finding Ciritcal flaws in them (Personal preferences are not a flaw). Shows kinda Like Bebop, Gintama and etc. |
KoreaWS said: Snob is cringeworthy a lot of times. I guess Snob and Digi are birds of a feather then, because they can both be cringeworthy (snob with his obnoxious GAR fanboyism and tryhard /a/ attitude, and digi with his overanalysis of simple shows). They should get a room already. |
Welcome to one of the biggest ships in the anime community. DigiXSnob is real. |

Lobinde said: Yeah, pretty much, thing is people will praise such superficial elements because they are mistaken into thinking that appearing mature is the same as actually being mature. Yh and then there are such posts that say that Anime is not for kids while showing the likes of TG or Akame ga kill while Shows like Bebop or Mushishi ectually are Mature. I highly DISAGREE with such posts, Anime is for kid, Teen, Adolecent and Mature crowds thus for everyone who likes anime. If I wanted to make such a post I would make it like "Anime is for everyone" while showing Mushishi, Bebop, Gintama, Toradora, One punch man and etc |

But go back to your first statement, it's actually pretty frustrating when I see people change their views to be inline with theirs. For example, I watched his SAO "rant" video because I thought it was funny, nothing more. However, I have seen people criticize SAO on these threads and often times when someone ask them "well why do you not like SAO" they're response is to post his SAO rant video, or quote digibro's comments about SAO. It's one thing to agree with his point of views or even understand where he is coming from, but if you are going to have an opinion about whatever the fuck it is then it is best that opinion comes from your own thoughts. -_- common sense yall, common sense. Also @Bourmegar, +1 for bobsamurai. Like I said before, I don't watch a lot of anime reviewers but imo he gives the best overall reviews. Next comes blackcriticguy for me because he's highly entertaining, and even though his taste differs from mine I enjoy hearing his positive and negative statements of whatever show/movie/anything he is discussing. (Plus we both have similar opinions on bakemonogatari, which is a lot less common than you'd think). -_- |

well I didn't agree with every single thing he said, because some of his criticisms of the show were things I actually thought were well done for what it was. Ultimately, I agreed when he felt the show wasn't all that complex or deep and that much of the "symbolism" felt too straightforward (among other things). Although, it seems we both realize that there are well written and consistent parts of the show, which is why I didn't give it a lower score than I would have before. Although, I disagree with him thinking the tsundere girl is the best character of the show. I remember when I first made the statement about the show being straightforward and attempting to be a artistic, literally nobody i spoke to (except for one person) agreed with me. Some people even criticized the rest of the shows I liked or claimed I was "too stupid" to understand the "symbolism" *rolls eyes*. As if calling the shows I like shit and pretentious, and calling me stupid, is going to change my mind and my score for the series. I don't mind if others enjoy it or see it as a complex and meaningful series, but for me it was refreshing that I felt an anime reviewer (for the most part) read my mind for once lol. He also got a ton of shit for his review, which was predicted. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cpBA5UyaeRc here's his video |

At the same time, I think it's fair play to be critical about assessing anime, animation is a medium which is able to convey a narrative so it makes sense to criticise them as such, as long as the anime are narratively focused, and the criticisms aren't nitpicky bullshit. |
zurgboy00 said: He Said he doesn't hate inherintley hate all A-1 Pictures shows and in fact likes some of them, also he addressed the bias point by ripping on Phantom World which was done by one of his favorite studios (Kyoto animations) that analysis series has alot of really good points and you dont have to agree with it if you dont want too, but How are you going to say nostalgia isnt an important factor in media take Nintendo for example their consoles/games have been on a downward spiral in recent years and the only decent releases have been driven off of nostalgiaAnnoying than the most annoying character I have ever seen on anime(There are lots but he manages to get on top). I wouldn't stay and watch his LONG VIDEOS that sounds repetitive and basic. An idiot that over complicates simple things just to sound smart. If I need reviews and other stuff related to anime. MAL and ANN can provide. It's not just his opinions I hate. It's just how he expresses it that makes me angry . He made 2 rant video series dedicated to specifically hating on anime from A-1 Pictures (Sword Art Online and The Asterisk War). If anything, that's a clear sign of bias, which is not surprising since the guy believes nostalgia is important in anime. Also, this guy needs to know that not all anime are going to be like The Asterisk War. We had a lot of good anime like One Punch Man and Death Parade in 2015, so not all anime is generic. This douchebag just needs to stop hating and shut up about anime he hates. Finally, IF YOU SEE AN ANIME YOU KNOW YOU'RE NOT GOING TO LIKE, THEN DON'T WATCH IT! In fact, he put a link to The Asterisk War on Crunchyroll, which is actually promoting the show rather than telling people to stay away from it. His "Your Favorite Anime Sucks" series are the stupidest things I have ever seen from Digibro. |

| He needs to chill and enjoy animes.

But hey not all Modern Anime are bad, I really had some good laughs with Swagamoto and Konosuba and Erased was not bad and Rakugo Shinjuu was pretty really dam Good IMHO. and then There is Jojo :) well ofcourse, spend all this money trying to make something original then it ends up not doing well.... its a complete waste on their part and theres always the people like me who are fine with generic "pandering" shows why does everything have to be "bad?" people like to call copy paste shows "bad" cause theyre really similar to the original, but wouldn't that make the original bad? |

| I think he makes some really good analysis most of the time like when he talked about anime meta or whenever he brings up Eva but he's way too opinionated on other people's opinions like with the 'boring elitist taste' video he made on his other channel Jou-dan said: I also think he makes a lot of interesting points about shows, but he presents his feelings about things as fact way too much, lol |

Dianthars said: He needs to chill and enjoy animes. He is unable to just sit back and enjoy an anime because obviously animes with mistakes are not watchable, is what seems to be his logic not everyone is looking for masterpieces, even a highly flawed anime can be good, just don't look too much into the details. Why do you say that? He is thinking critically about stuff that are happening because he is (as he consider himself) an analyst. And to be fair, many people dont watch anime with their brain shut off. Complicated anime requires you to look for hidden detailes/messages and themes can be ignored if one didnt focus enough. |

Well that is mostly because they just Copy the idea and not the Quality or don't have the means to improve or Changes on the formula in such way that it kinda is different. and ofcourse i don't mind watching some Enjoyable good Generic shows, but I rather watch something like Berserk (I am a bit hyped about Berserk 2016 but I am a bit Scepticall about it Seeing which Studios are behind it and being as good as the manga will be extremely hard). And yh being fully original is extremely hard. I am more than ok with it if a show has a story and characters that have been thought out while Having some Borrowed things and change it so that it is just original enough to be an own entity and not a clone (not 100% Original). They don't have to be 100% original. but yh Taking such risks now is not a good idea, Lets just hope that the economy will get back up so that such risks can be made again. |
