Arkada doesn't even really review. He just follows popular opinion for views and says mostly vague good things about anime he has reviewed and a stupid stamp at the end. Also he needs to brush his teeth.

If anything I watch Digibro, he's extremely analytical, to the point where it scares me and he has a nice sense of humour. A really underrated gem in the anime community. Even if you don't agree with him, you can completely understand where he is coming from.

But then again I don't really watch anime reviewers often, since I don't need some fat virgin saying if I should watch a cartoon or not. (Except Digibro).

AnimeEveryday and BakaShift are basically it... Also used to be really into JesuOtaku's videos back when she was fairly small-time and not yet writing for ANN.

Edit: And of course, Demo's hilarious--but a lazy piece of shit.

For the Tokyo Ghoul manga he is quite analytical, but can get nit picky at times. He was also showed a great understanding of the Shirou's personality in UBW.

That's about it though. It's half/half with Chibi.

My favorite is an up and coming anime reviewer called Under the Scope Reviews whose eloquence, editing skills and overall work deserves attention.

I also watch KevinNyaa, Demolition, BaronJ and Gigguk for the funny stuff.
I also watch Riyogaa, RCAnime, Digibro and his friend TheBestGuyEver(he rarely uploads though) for analysis.
I also watch GRArkada, BobSamurai, BlackCriticGuy for general reviews.
I also watch ThatAnimeSnob for his rare flashes of brilliance(it's rare).

The others, I watch occasionally(I think I'm subscribed to almost every anime reviewers in YT).

And I'm no master in the Japanese language but compared to how other people speak his Japanese seems so forced and unnatural.
Why would he lie about his heritage? I haven't watched that many of his videos but judging from what I've seen his Japanese doesn't seem unnatural

Besides, not all half Japanese look Asian: http://www.japanculture-nyc.com/2013/07/27/documentary-explores-being-hafu-in-japan/

Arkada and Demolition D, mostly just for entertainment. Arkada for insight into shows I might watch and Demo for, him.

I watch Gigguk sometimes but his videos at this point are just him summing up a season of Anime thats like 6 month old news by the time he makes it so you dont get anything out of watching it, for that reason I unsubcribed and don't really care about his channel anymore, might sound mean but thats what happens when you leave your channel to rot.

There was this one guy I knew who was half white, half vietnamese but he looked so fucking white.
Like he had big blue eyes and shit. I met his mom and he was definetly half vietnamese, but even now I'm still surprised.

Even for me, I'm half black half white but there are a lot of people who think I'm either full white or hispanic.

That's just how it is for mixed race people.

I've said it before and I'll say it again:
Reviews, as far as I see them, are meaningless and unnecessary. I never bother reading other people's opinion on anime because the format of a review always leads to some sort of tangible conclusion on the merit of a show and why it is worth viewing or not. I don't need to be told by anyone why something is good or bad prior or after reading/watching a comic, graphic novel, book, show, movie, etc. I am, irregardless of my online persona on MAL, someone who likes to do critical and analytical thinking of anything he reads or watches. I usually think about what I am being put through in a story so much that a lot of times I need to put the book down or pause the show to contemplate what is really going on, which is something that leads me to end up dropping a series due to me evaluating it as something that is not worthwhile. The only time I find myself reading someone else's thoughts is when they have decided to write a critical analysis or deconstructionism in full detail; I simply cannot ignore a well written piece.

As far as youtube reviews go, I will never watch a video formatted show that includes someone who obviously does not brush their teeth. In any review, I could care less about someone's opinions as my opinions are what is primarily important to me. This does not mean that I do not care about other people's opinions, but when I care to discuss these things, they tend to go into far more detail than what a review can give.
I'm also filled with pure-hearted ulterior motives.

What kind of logic is that?

I'm pretty sure for any language you can tell if someone less experienced than you is saying something wrong. You don't have to be fluent, you just need enough experience with hearing the language
Not sure if the person you're quoting has that or not, but that's a different issue.


I meant to say "You can't judge how fluent a language is if you can't be fluent in the language yourself". But yeah your mostly right. But opinions are opinions in the end.

To play devil's advocate, some people write reviews to just let off some steam.
People don't always expect others to read their reviews.

I arbitrarily decided to write a review based off of a single volume of a manga that did not have a substantial following (I believe it was less than 200) simply just to promote the manga. If you look at my review, it is actually the worst piece of shit there is. I will not deny that it was crap because when I wrote it, I thought that it was nothing that really resembles a review, but something I spent 5-10 minutes marketing something I found to be worth checking out for manga readers. I exclaimed that it was worth checking out because that was the only point of my review, which is something I already said in my previous post - telling others why something has merit.

If some people enjoy writing reviews, good for them. If other people wish to get someone else's opinion on a show then so be it. None of this changes my perspective of other people's reviews because I will never check them out. I find reviews to be a marketing technique and as someone who understands marketing, I am unwilling to allow myself to be disillusioned by them whether the writer is gaining something out of writing them or not.
