jal90 said: The last video I watched of Digibro was him spotting a sort of progressive route among high school SOLs, which in theory was really nice and seemed on point, but in practice and with the shows he picked looked far-fetched to me. Specifically I find it hard to buy the narrative that Lucky Star has bigger focus on the emotional moments than its predecessors when the drama is actually very sparse in the show and in its structure it is as much of or more of a situational gag comedy than any else. But then again this idea is shoehorned to fit the narrative that KyoAni is all about subtle character exposition and present the show like it's some sort of prelude to K-On!, from which it's substantially different in terms of dynamics and focus. This is what I mean when I point out that Digibro is all about reader-response criticism. What Digi is doing isn't invalid inasmuch as it is overly dependent upon his own perception and interpretation. There's the subjective and then there's reader-response criticism which actively engages in subjective experience... and then there's Digibro. While you might interpret his position as far-fetched and cherry-picked (and you may be right--I've seen none of the shows he discussed in that video) he is insulated from this by his methodology. This is why I criticize Digibro as consistently committing the Affective Fallacy. The show does inhabit an objective space outside of oneself independent of oneself. Digibro is either unaware of that or doesn't care. |
| I don't hate him, although his more recent videos just make me think that he needs a giant break from the web to work on improving his own life. The dude deserves happiness too. To me it doesn't look like his current life gives him any of that. |

| Yeah he is trash but mother's basement is even trashier |

Does it mean I only agreed because of who he is, or is it possible he simply makes convincing and *verifiable* arguments? Well, if you don't fall into that category of his viewers and your opinion is just similar to his one for coincidence, why do you care? |
| There is absolutely no reason why I should accept "turn your brain off" as a valid excuse to defend a poor show. ~ blatant ad: https://myanimelist.net/blog/Crusader_8 I spend the time to write it, so please read it lol |

He bashed Sword Art Online and prasises K-On, two shows i haven't watched. I knew he was a youtuber... But that's kinda strange because I notice those who watched SAO and K-on either like them both or hate them... |

| Watch anime instead wasting time on anime youtubers, they are all sellouts, beggars, pretentious overthinkers or contrarian shitters. |

| why are you still here playing the worried parent it's time to stop |

I personally find K-On a really solid show with a great coming-of-age story. Season 2 is slightly better. |

| ''Is there anyone other than me who hates Digibro?'' Yes, you are the only person in the world who hates him. Anyway, I don't agree with everything he says, but I like his videos. He usually makes a lot of good points. I honestly wish that people would already stop talking about him here on MAL. |
| Help the industry and buy Blu-rays and DVD's. Noragami is the best anime ever.  |
| I don't dislike him personally since I find all anime youtubers equally dislikable sadly. |
 |
| I like him. I do not relate with his taste in anime, but I really find interesting the things he has to say and i like the way he express himself |
| Smoke Weed Everyday |
| I don't hate him. he hasn't harmed anyone, I can't hate someone who has done no wrong in my eyes. I don't like him as a friend, and I don't have a lot of respect for his opinions. I think he's pretentious and somewhat stupid. But I do respect his right to his whatever opinions he has. He's probably a good person, I don't know him personally. But hating him is a bit extreme. |
| I don't care. |
| I haven't heard enough of his reviews/opinions on anime to dislike him over taste matters. But I don't like that he's a bootleg booster who takes sponsorship from Crunchyroll with one hand while stabbing every other legal streaming site in the back with the other. |
| I don't like his main channel, but the after dark channel has a lot of great videos. |
