It's been a while since I last saw any proper worst and best Anituber thread so I just want to who are worst and the best Anitubers, currently.

My favourite is probably Gigguk because as a Brit I resonate a lot with his humour, cdawgva is up there as well but in terms of videos I like Gigguk more. As for one I dislike the most, I don't have one yet but there are some I do dislike

Too vague of a question. According to which criteria? Best at being a reviewer? Best at entertainment? Best at providing anime news? Best at hyping seasonals?

I've never seen a good anime YouTuber, even the ones praised by the community.
If you're a fanboy, please don't waste my time.

Watch more movies, please.

Perhaps, this is hell.

Bob Samurai is a great anituber. He's a positive role model, and he often encourages to watch lesser known anime, no matter retro or modern.

Kenny Lauderdale as a general anime ranter. I am not exactly in love with his fanbase, who seem to be mostly on board for the memes, but I perceive him as a kindred spirit.

I am also very active on the comment sections of ThatAnimeSnob's videos, precisely because of the variety of commenter profiles present there. I think less of snob as a great anituber, than his channel being an excellent think tank.
We are all a bunch of dissenting characters interacting with one another, it is something I definitely won't see elsewhere as anituber fanbase are mostly hype centric echo chambers.

Not a fan of any of them really, except maybe when Joey is on Abroad in Japan. Mothers Basement by far the worst.

Mother's Basement is my least favorite. Used to like him, but I grew to dislike him over time. Same goes to others like TheAnimeMan (Joey), Gigguk and their Trash Taste podcasts though not to the same extent.
As for my favorites, I was thinking of Kenny Lauderdale, but Super Eyepatch Wolf is just so damn good, part of the reason why is because he's not really an "Anituber" as his content doesn't revolve solely around that medium. He's my favorite as of now.
Also shout out to smaller creators who also make really damn good content, like ShishiVids (Shishio-kun)!

Probably my favorite would be Gigguk, cause he actually makes entertaining videos and you can see the effort he puts into them.

Unlike my least favorite which would be Rev Says Desu, your classic anti-sjw anituber that spends too much time making low quality videos covering twitter drama than anything else, doesn't help that he also explicitly makes up lies and spreads misinformation to his audience.

Scamboli's humor is right up my alley, but MVPerry is the definition of cringe. Kenny Lauderdale has helped me to find some old hidden gems.

I used to watch anitubers from The anime man to Thatanimesnob, but after time they sorta bore me. I only watch Snob only because he's the opposite of the anitubers that hype stuff. But even he starting to get boring.

My favourite would be "under the scope", his analysis videos are great. I don't really have a least favourite one. I don't watch many to begin with, just 5 or 6 if I include trash taste.

The worst is TheAnimeMan, he doesnt know what the fuck he is talking about and spreads a lot of misinformation (especially in the podcast), also does an excessive amount of hentai content and still has the audacity to say he only wants high quality videos on the main channel

The best are Aleczandrx, Under the Scope and Kevin Nyaa

Im not counting anitubers of a specific series otherwise the worst would be Ohara, my man spoils every chapter on his thumbnails and on top of that steals every theory from reddit and doesnt credit the oc

As of now, i'm only subscribing to the Trash Taste boiis, which is Connor (CDawgVA), Garnt (Gigguk), and Joey (The Anime Man), and ofc their Trash Taste podcast too. I've seen some of Nux's videos but i didn't like the way he presented it so i don't watch him anymore. I don't watch many anitubers honestly

In terms of enjoyment ,I like trash taste boys , but their takes on anime are horrible , especially gigguk, the humour is good but when it comes to reviewing anime ,that guy really doesn't know what he is talking about.

Don't like mother's basement either.

Scamboli reviews is pretty good.

Mostly I just listen to grand line reviews while working out.

I don't really watch anitubers, the ones I know I don't like and the rest I have no desire of getting to know. I've seen decent videos from someone like Mother's Basement and some other creators but the overwhelming amount of the takes and videos I remember were garbage or toxic so I can't really give them too much credit for the videos that are decent. I also almost never care about review videos or analysis of individual shows. I'm more interested in the meta-aspects of animation and filmmaking and stuff like that. I don't think there's much content like that on Anitube.

Most of my favorite youtube videos about anime are not from anitubers but people who make videos about film or animation in general.
E.g.






You could say I don't trust videos about anime until the creator has proven that they're not just weebs living isolatedly in a bubble of anime and japanese subculture while having no idea about the rest of the world (of entertainment). Most don't fulfil that criterion.

I got tired of hearing pedantic video essays in general a while back so people like Aleczandrx no longer interest me. Also lost interest in Super Eyepatch wolf for similar reasons.

i think some of gigguk stuff is okay. Same with some of scamboli's stuff.

I remember hating glass reflections because i found he had a bunch of bad takes, plus he dressed like a weeb-waiter.
Digibro if that thing still exists was one of the first super crap anitubers.

I find most anitubers just have terrible taste, or consistently churn out lists full of low quality anime

Analysis videos are pretty cool, but that’s it for the anime content I watch. I really hate the anime community, and most anitubers tend to fall in line with the community. So I can’t say I enjoy their content much. I don’t have any gripes with particular anitubers though.

He's not the worst when it comes to sponsorships and/or being a parody of humanity, but I can't stand EyesoreWolf, he's one of the worst presenters I've ever seen, and his little speech fixation on frantic enunciation before calming down makes me want to slap him.
Some just have an ugly voice or hair on their tongue, like Nux, and can't do much about it, but this guy goes out of his way to be as obnoxious as humanly possible with his spooky voice angsty impediments.

Once, I fell asleep halfway through a video, and I woke up thinking I was being assaulted, but no, it was just this pillock shrieking about something or other...

I also wanted to slap him for his ''disturbing'' horror films video, The Baby? Parents? The dud that looks like a bad, discarded Afraid of The Dark episode is disturbing? Some other found footage J-Horror dud with bad CGI?
The worst is that even when he talks about a film of value, like Possession, he finds ways to say nothing of value, praise the ridiculous overreacted scene with Adjani in the subway, and dismiss what the film builds on by doing a cold piss-take over female sexuality, without even understanding what the film is about (something he does frequently, he's an SJW who flagellates himself for liking things he deems problematic, but I do the same masochistic thing with his videos).
His capacity to reflect on the things he watches is zilch, his takes are brain dead, he makes videos filled with falsehoods (like when he claimed Shonen Jump killed Bleach) and he shrieks like a numpty.

Well, the thing is that he's got a bunch of fans that drink his words and are dumbfounded by him, like most YouTubers and their audiences, even when they have no culture and don't talk about anything that isn't overexposed already (since when they do, the videos flop since their content lives and dies on clickbait).

If someone needs to watch a 30 minutes ''essay'' video about how SOA or Berserk 2016 is shit, it's their lifetime being wasted away, not mine.

Grumpy Jiisan was the only good anime YouTuber.

I hate the likes of Gigguk, AnimeMan (though his industry interviews are okay), MothersBasement, EyepatchWolf... too much clickbait and egoism. Genuinely saddened to see people take those shallow personas seriously and their opinion as valid.

Wait you guys watch anitubers.

Seriously, I never trusted or bother to check out anime reviews on YouTube or anywhere. But I do watch some few analysis videos because they are far more informative than meh opinions.

Best: None, all are cringe especially Gigguk.

Worst: Thatanimesnob and Young Defiant, one makes good points but has an unlikeable personality and never takes off his nostalgia glasses. The latter could do something different, but is lost in making clickbait videos and suffering from some kind of mental disorder.

Only care to watch either impressions of current airing anime or rant videos about a show. Dont care about no reviews and analysis videos got boring to me.

So the only ones I actually liked were Demolition D for actually making fun videos, and Digibro for rants. Too bad one went off the deep end while the other quit. Sometimes watch Mothers Basement videos when the vid isnt about political correctness (but thats almost all the time so honestly fuck wasting my time with that).

Trash Taste is true to its name. Horrible takes, and the individual channels arent even anime, more like e-celeb shit except Gigguk whos has reddit humor which I dont like. SuperEyePatchWolf forces this annoying as heck enunciation AND his scripts feel like a college student padding out a paper. Scamboli has bad takes as well, but not as bad as Trash Taste I guess? Anime youtube just sucks tbh.

Like...Chibireviews is the only one that talks about current airing anime in an nonirritating way so his impression videos are the only ones I even pay attention to anymore.

As I mentioned, his channel basically runs on clickbaits. He is a hypocrite who contradicts even himself. I know he is doing such things for attention, once one understands his trick they don't bother to check out his channel again.

I don't really watch AniTubers that much anymore but my favorite is probably Kakarot197. I love his Gundam content especially his MS Development series.

Also his gundam news series is always something nice to watch if I have nothing to do on Friday

I don't "Hate" anyone in particular but I hate those AniTubers who puts NSFW photos on their Thumbnails for those extra clicks. It just feels lazy and clickbait-ey

I don't see many people talk about Geoff from Mother'sBasement. He does a lot of really thought provoking anime reviews and recommendation videos.
He's also done a fair bit of video essays on particular genres of anime, which I found really helpful when developing my taste in anime.
