| He is so pretentious and hypocritical. It makes me sick than he's featured on one of Crunchyroll's You Tube videos. Like how could anyone take him seriously or be friends with him. And don't get me stared on his drunk rants. K-ON is so average it's not even better than SAO. |

| I don't hold Digi in especially high regard - or, I hold him in rather low regard - but at the same time I feel like he can at least say some genuinely cool shit occasionally. Like in a recent panel with Gigguk at a con: "I don't believe in guilty pleasures. I don't believe in feeling guilt about things you like." Digi: "Why do you feel guilty about liking Eromanga-sensei?" Gigguk: "Because it's complete and utter trash!" D: "But why feel guilty?" G: "I will not call it anything but absolute trash!" D: "Why do you like it, then?" G: "Because it's so unashamed about how trashy it is..." D: "Well then it's good! It's good because it's unashamed! You can't say you're ashamed of it being good! You want more anime to be unashamed!" I mean, I disagree on Eromanga being unashamed but that's neither here nor there, the core idea is still a pretty cool thing to say as far as I'm concerned. At least with Digi, I don't really get the impression that his content is less about explaining thoughts and more about things like trying to project an image and create a character or saying what his sponsors want him to, on top of never bringing anything worthwhile whenever he's explaining his thoughts because so much of it can be whittled down to asinine lines of logic like "this show is bad, and this show that came later is bad, so every anime that came between it has to be bad as well and is just trying to ripoff Harry Potter's success." Or doing things like plugging sponsorship deals dead middle in making a point. Or making hypocritical claims regards to how it's your moral obligation to pay for his sponsor's content but pirate the stuff from their competitors, that's all fine and good. Or trying to orchestrate shunning attempts in his discord chat because somebody didn't want to pay for his sponsor's content because they didn't think the service was worth the money. It could be argued that he milks the same topics for views, but there's much, much worse about that. So Digi, as much as I don't really like him, will be eternally above Mother's Basement. Being better than the dead worst isn't much of an accomplishment, though. |

| Eh? why would you even compare this epitome of all moeblob to SAO? >Disgraceful |

Darek said: Also, yo.I mean, he is kinda stupid but not as dumb as you and your bad attempts at shitposts. SAO has a giga ton of writing and character problems that utterly ravage the narrative and make the characters easy to either not care about or flat out dislike. Delete this thread. Honestly, I am sick to death of these "Am I the only one" threads that are only meant to gather up a group of people to agree with you on an opinion that tons of people obviously agree with you on already. This is literally nothing more than a vapid hate-piece on the guy. At least put some effort into detailing why you hate him like my good buddy quote above sometimes does. This also barely even counts as an anime discussion. |
| Being wrong is just an occupational hazard. Follow me on twitter. I have an anitube channel so feel free to check it out and subscribe if you like what you see. |
| No you're not little snowflake. P.S. I think the first season of K-On is enjoyable but forgettable. Can't say the same for the second season (haven't watched it) but "plain, average, or utter trash"? Lol. Jack would like to have words with you. EDIT: Some mistakes. |

| If anything I can say that he's entertaining. I certainly don't agree with a lot of his opinions (holy fuck no) but if I'm bored and one of his videos pops up in suggested videos I might watch it. More than I can say for some anitubers where I see the name under the video and go "lol nope." |

| K-on was a well animated thing at the time that was pretty in a time when that was really important over anything else. Happy when that was what people wanted... You know K-on has a high score on MAL right? And it definitely inspired me to pick up a guitar. I mean sure, I couldn't afford a Gibson but not gonna lie, I did pick the color based on how pretty Yui's guitar was. I would say band anime I love are all better than the anime that actually inspired me to pick up an instrument. XD Also why do people watch Youtubers? Especially if they hate them? |

The anime community in a nutshell.  |
| i put that mf on ignore as i did several other animeyoutubers |
   |
| I disagree with him on some things, but that's part of what makes him entertaining. I like that he doesn't regurgitate the same opinions as the rest of the anime community and that he literally talks about whatever he feels like most of the time, including older stuff and aspects of anime no other anime YouTuber will talk about. |
| "No, son, you may not have your body pillow at the dinner table!" |
| I don't really think too high or too low about Digi. At first I didn't really like his attitude or his approach towards enjoying an anime. But later I saw his vids on GITS and Psycho-pass and others and it had such great analysis and in such great detail that it drew me in and watched them without stopping. He is like the most knowledgeable and smart anime content creator I have seen. He provides lot of information to even a small degree and provides intelligent points that tends to sometimes change even my opinion about a show. Yes, he is sometimes arrogant and tends to make me angry due to that arrogant attitude, but thanks to him I was still able to learn A GREAT LOT from him. jc9622 said: Even though I don't like Digibro....At least, he's not like "ThatAnimeSnob" or whatever that old fuckstain's name is. His content is WAAAAAAYYY more cringy, annoying and you question why and how this type person exists in this god-forsaken planet. Preach. I thought League of Legends had some of the worst, arrogant, cringiest, unlikable, piece of shit people on the planet but then I saw ThatAnimeSnob and I thought these players were just normal people. That guy just makes me wonder what wrong someone would have done for something like this to spawn on the Internet. |

|
| I don't give enough shits about him to hate him, but let's say I'm not a fan of his general personality and attitude even when he doesn't say stupid shit, which he doesn't always do. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| Digibro is the most boring person out of all the anime channels I have seen, followed closely behind by Mothers Basement. |
    |
 yes you are the only person that thinks that clearly |
| It's good that Slop leveling won the CR awards with such a power gap, Gaijin Weebs don't deserve good anime. Not after what they did to frieren, kusuriya, and many others |

Having said that, I don't think there's a good enough reason to actively seek out his content. suggest you do the same. |
| Who's digibro? Is Digimon still a thing? |
| Be thankful for the wisdom granted to you. |
| I tend to prefer anitubers I disagree with like Digi, if they just regurgitate out the same stuff as everyone else, why watch. But people with their own opinions are more interesting. But I definitely get why people hate him. |
 |
| He's fine but tbh I prefer his music channel over his Anime one, he's more chill on that one |

| I must be weird because I disagree with a lot of his opinions (except for his big ones, like SAO and * War both sucking) but I'm still a big fans of his: - employs a consistent methodology - has a deep understanding of writing, directing, the industry, etc, that few to no other youtubers have - is thorough in his research and presentation - will stand up to community sheepery (as seen in his * War vids) - genuinely cares about the industry biggest thing I dislike about Digibro (something I dont think will ever change) is his overall ignorance or unwillingness to examine or deconstruct the epistemological aspects of narrative. His approach to analysis is 100% English class university student style. While I wouldn't want Digibro to stoop to the level of those awful youtubers who shove out philosophical breakdown videos for each and every Rick and Morty episode (the show is not that hard to figure out guys, theyre insulting our intelligence at this point), I think his audience is mature enough and ready at this point for analysis that goes beyond the typical "this show done be directing goodly" breakdowns. Based on his appeal to moral relativism in his psycho pass vids though, I doubt he himself is ready for deeper analysis. Not that he even seems interested in understanding philosophy. |

| I don't hate Digibro. I'm subbed to him and I watch some of his videos. Occasionally, he'll really tick me off but overall I think he's one of the stronger anime YouTubers. Crusader_8 said: - employs a consistent methodology - has a deep understanding of writing, directing, the industry, etc, that few to no other youtubers have - is thorough in his research and presentation - will stand up to community sheepery (as seen in his * War vids) - genuinely cares about the industry These are definitely things I agree with regarding his strengths. biggest thing I dislike about Digibro (something I dont think will ever change) is his overall ignorance or unwillingness to examine or deconstruct the epistemological aspects of narrative. His approach to analysis is 100% English class university student style. I'd say 100-level to 200-level, because you start getting into some heady stuff in the 300's and 400's. That being said, I flat-out agree with everything you said here. He's got a lot of potential to transcend what he's currently doing, raise the bar, and generally engage in some really high-level analysis. Every once-in-a-while he'll produce really profound insights but overall most of his insights are pretty surface-level stuff. I watch his videos from time-to-time and "Like" some of them, especially when he hits on ideas I'd not thought of. I think his audience is mature enough and ready at this point for analysis that goes beyond the typical "this show done be directing goodly" breakdowns. Here I disagree with you. I think he'd alienate a lot of his subs. Pause & Select already exists and has the barest fraction of the sub-count Digibro has. Based on his appeal to moral relativism in his psycho pass vids though, I doubt he himself is ready for deeper analysis. Not that he even seems interested in understanding philosophy. He isn't, it seems. Digibro is satisfied with where he is, intellectually. While I think people shouldn't have that approach to life, I am most definitely in the minority, alongside Socrates. Digibro has bragged on at least one or two occasions that he doesn't read books, which I find utterly destructive. The likelihood of him cracking open a few books on film theory and literary criticism are slim-to-none, which is a shame. GamerUnglued said: Digi can certainly come off like an asshole, but his analysis is great... His analysis is pretty rudimentary, actually. Not saying that he's bad (he's actually talented) but he's no Sigfried Kracauer. ...and he is insanely passionate about the industry. He is indeed, and this is one of the reasons I find myself watching his videos from time-to-time. Digibro is enthusiastic and does try to be knowledgeable about certain things. I think the two major problems people have with him is either they think he is an elitist who thinks his taste is above all... Yeah, he's not. However, he does think a bit too highly of himself, I think. At least, that's how he comes off occasionally. (in which case I advise you to watch his video called "OBJECTIVITY DOESN'T FUCKING EXIST!!" because it's implicitly understood that despite his tone he is not an elitist) Yeah, he's effectively responsible for this absolutely reductionist and (as a result) hyperbolically misleading meme that circulates MAL constantly. I've watched the video. He has no idea what the terms "objective" or "subjective" actually mean, let alone "objectivity," "subjectivity," "intersubjectivity," or "intentionality," and quite obviously has no concept of where the philosophical, linguistic, and literary discussion regarding the question of bias and interpretive frameworks have gone and are currently going. He definitely gets a bit too "gonzo-journalist" for shows he really loves though. This is another term I'm not entirely certain is used properly. "Gonzo journalism" is a style of journalism popularized by Hunter S. Thompson in which events are reported in an unabashedly biased manner, focusing on the experience of an event, often rendering the reporter as a character within the narrative and an unreliable narrator at that. Digibro doesn't report on events, facts, or society insofar as presenting an investigative account or narrative (with the elementary "who, what, where, when, and how" checklist) so calling him a journalist is stretching the definition. He gives his opinion and discusses the experience of watching an anime but that is basically standard-issue reader-response criticism. As far as reader-response criticism goes, Digibro isn't going anything amazing with the methdology itself. Otherwise, he's just a smart and passionate guy with an interesting personal narrative, talking about anime/manga/art/music and giving his honest feelings regardless of what others think of them. I love and respect that, and so do numerous other people. I agree with this and ultimately, it's made him a moderately successful YouTuber. I think he could do much better than he does and I think he has a lot of undeveloped talent and untapped potential but frankly, I think his current level of analysis is pretty-much right at the level of his average viewer. |
