| Not really a big fan, but I like some of their songs. I have them on my playlist. |
 |
| I rarely watch any of their vids, but judging by the few I saw they seem to do a decent job. |
*kappa* |
| I love trash taste podcast even tho i haven't watch it since 2023 |
| . |
| I was never really a fan of them. The only ones I used to watch were The Canipa Effect and Under The Scope, which both of them stopped posting videos. |
| I did not even know that something like this does exist |
 |
| I've never watched a Gigguk video but I imagine I would not like it if I did. Mother's Basement is basically a breadtuber. I watched a clip from the "Trash Taste" podcast once and it was very painful. The only YouTuber I watch who could be called an "anituber" is Eyepatch Wolf because the things he talks about are interesting, though often not related to anime, plus his videos are very long, which I prefer. deg said: their videos are like as long or even longer than a standard 20 minute episode so i rather just watch anime episodes than them @deg A 20 minute YouTube video is half as long as a typical episode of a TV anime for me. |

| It is not worth my time to watch that nonsense. Why watch some uneducated fools ranting about something nobody cares about? I rather just watch some actual anime shows than some fool ranting about it. |
| I have approximately 1 terabyte of anime on my computer. |
| Don't see much point in watching them when I could instead invest that time in just watching anime itself, or doing just about anything else. |

| Depending on each anituber, I barely check Gigguk and related to him people [Connor and Joey] mainly people who are around Bleach content, so that's my cup of tea and stuff I follow [ex. Flame of Rebirth, Jaymes Hanson, Mrtommo2304, muken etc.]. |
| Why waste time with anitubers, when you can watch anime unstead? π |
| I've tried it. Watching people people talk about anime doesn't appeal to me as much as watching people talk about movies and cartoons does. Especially since I'm way more likely to find weird things I've never heard of and never would have found on my own with those. |
| I only watch the seasonal round-up videos these days. Mother's Basement's "Best Anime of *season* *year*" videos give me a rough idea of what's out there and what's being talked about. Good summary, with anime footage, and some opinions and jokes. I appreciate showcasing new anime instead of sequels, too. I sometimes watch Gigguk's seasonal round-ups. Those are way more about jokes and memes, but I like how he gets sincere and impassioned when he wants to. Not particularly useful or insightful, though. I also check out some sakuga compilations on YouTube, but they probably don't count as "AniTube." |
| I never watch anitubers, I'd rather watch the anime myself and form my own opinion than watching some random person on the internet give their opinion. |
| I only have watched a few videos of Trash Taste, which were a bit entertaining, but I don't think I'll ever watch them regularly. The only Anituber I was following is NinotakuTV, who's making news for the upcoming anime titles and has made some videos about Japan in general as well. The reason why I'm not watching his videos anymore is that I'm more interested in watching older/finished shows than the newest ones. I'm rarely interested in new shows, and at least 90% of the seasonal shows I'm watching are sequels to an already existing show. |
| There are some decent ones, and a lot of not so decent ones. |
   |
| I like Scamboli Reviews, other than him I don't like anyone There are a couple of great death note analysis, but they aren't done by anime youtube channels |
| Pretty overhated, at least here on MAL.. ppl here give Anitubers crap when their only argument is "why watch Anitubers when you can watch anime instead". Personally I'm not invested in videos that overanalyze anime, sometimes it ain't that deep, still interesting content though. I keep up with Gigguk & Joey |
| When I first started watching anime, I watched anitubers. Not anymore for a variety of reasons. But I still find trash taste and especially Joey to be fun. |

| Anitubers are as useful as an ashtray in an aquarium. |
 |
| I don't have much experience with anitubers, though I've seen at least something from the popular ones. Never thought following any of them is worthwhile for me. The one I mange to see the most is Gigguk and I find his videos generally enjoyable. |
| I don't really watch them regularly, but I do sometimes look for overall season reviews to see what peoples thoughts are. Mostly tho, it's to check out random people's reviews on anime that are different from my own opinions to see if I overlooked somethings in anime that I thought were bad, or to check out the legitimacy of the faults that people point out about anime that I like. They don't always influence my opinion, but they do give me a better understanding of my own tastes, and the anime as a whole. Such individuals have also seen the views of many others due to being popular so they tend to have a more holistic viewpoint which I find nice. |
| I don't watch them, I don't care about them. Roughly 95% of any anime YouTubers I happened to stumble upon while browsing YouTube were cringey and acted in a pretentious manner. |

| 90% cringe and 99% we don´t have the same taste at all because all they speak of is the main stream shit or the most depressing anime. If I want depression I just read today´s news. There is only 1 anituber I like and it´s kenny lauderdale because. 1. He don´t pretend to be an anime girl with avatar and speak in a silly voice to sound as cute as possible. He is him self. 2. He does not focus on main stream anime the top 5 of this season. 3. He does not sing praises for every anime that made him feel like shit and cry. 4. He focus on obscure as frack anime 5. He goes in to detail about history and such depending how much info he find. |
| i like gigguk. idk many others but gigguk is like the most normal one. i follow some anime games related ones and trust me no one is like tectone (toxic obnoxious gambling addict) |

| dont care about them. they never talk about shows I am interested in. |
 |
| GrumpyJiisan is the only one I'd consider watching, and he died a couple of years ago. Even when he was alive he hadn't made any new videos since 2011. |
 |
| They are corny and heavily influence newer anime fans. I’d rather watch the powerscalers than ones like Gigguk who just review and meme about an anime or anime season |
| They're terrible, and their fans are even worse. They can't think for themselves, and support the common Western opinions. Many don't even watch anime. |

| @Lost_Viking Oh my, GrumpyJiisan was great. I remember watching him long, long ago. He was an anime connoisseur. A real one, not some wannabe. Yes, he can be considered one of the pioneers of anime YouTuber activities, but personally, I see him way above any anime YouTuber I briefly checked out in... like... many years. That says a lot about how high quality GrumpyJiisan's content presented years ago, how substantive it was. May he rest in peace. |

| Nobody hates anitubers more than MAL users and AniTwT |
 |
| Depends on the content. I sometimes watch videos that cover actual news. I sometimes watch videos that are likely to be very funny. I find reviews and general commentary about anime to be a snoozefest though. |
| i would prolly consider myself a "fan" of anitubers, so to speak. Spent quite a bit of time watching Gigguk and CDawgVA over the years. However I think my enjoyment of them doesn't really come from their "opinions" on anime itself or shows in particular, but more for entertainment value. For instance, Gigguk's seasonal anime has always been a good way for me to get a quick glimpse at shows that are coming out or have come out that I should think about watching, however I take each recommendation with a pinch of salt. With him in particular, I've just always enjoyed his humour and personality, more than his opinions on anime itself (although I do agree with quite a few of his takes). Trash Taste Pod is a great example of this actually. Three "AniTubers" i.e. The Anime Man, CDawgVA, and Gigguk with occasional "Anime" related guests, which usually Japanese Culture related specials. Their primary focus probably would be anime, but they do branch out quite a bit. And again, the podcasts entertainment value comes from the guys themselves rather than the shows they are talking about. |

| I watch the stuff that's like interview with people from the anime industry, but otherwise I'm not interested. |
| I prefer Websites like MyAnimeList, animeplanet Reddit forums where I often have discussions with highly knowledgeable fans than clueless youtubers who spread fake content and misinformation and their knowledge is below average and their recommendations are basic top 10 on Mal.. I like to read academic articles by anime fans and scholars who write detailed analyses and essays on various aspects of anime. Given my extensive viewing history of 5123 completed anime, I find it rewarding to share my own insights and recommendations and participating in forums. It’s all about finding the right balance and sources that match your level of interest and expertise |
| What is your opinion about Anitubers? I watch some of them |

What is your opinion about Anitubers?
I watch some of them
I watch some of them
Same here and I enjoy the content they put out as it's sometimes insightful, anime or not. |
| Depends on the person. Some are interesting for me to watch, although not always, while the opinions of some are no higher than the hot takes of obsessive dudes from reddit. |
 |
| E-celebs are cancer and I don't like them. Just that simple. |
| They are funny(30 characters limit). |
| Anitubers are horrible. Especially the ones that try to be "philosophical" and "deep". Most people like that are just idiots who pretend to be smart. |
| I apply the recommended social distancing. |
| I use Youtube to stream anime music videos. That is about it. |
| I have approximately 1 terabyte of anime on my computer. |
