| So, who's next? Manime Matt? Mannylo Anime Squad? Pewdiepie? My vote goes for Pews |
| As someone else said, he's like the opposite of Digi. I personally think his knowledge of the medium seems rather limited, so he doesn't know what he's talking about most of the time. His content is also too basic and uninspired for me. He came off fake from the first time I saw him, and that turned out to be true. Besides being the biggest shill around, it seems the man has no thoughts or judgement of his own. He goes with the popular opinion and just says what the majority wants to hear. As a "critic", his takes and analysis are lackluster and rarely bring anything beyond the basic. Their not that distinguishable from the other countless anitubers. Whatever the new hot show is, he will praise it as long as there's a predominance of positive followers behind it. Vice versa for negative, of course. I can't help but think him no more than a joke seeing him praise or hate based solely for the views of his naive sheep audience. |

| I used to watch glass reflection but after a while I noticed that he's just on the mainstream side of things The anime that everyone like he likes The anime that is getting hate he hates on it He's just so basic and boring and doesn't seem to have any real opinion of his own Mother's basement content is fine most of the time But as a person he's a really big cuck E;R isn't really an Anime youtuber but even tho he's kind of a antisemitic (or maybe just trolling) his videos are really good especially the 2 videos about Deadpool and one punch man. The anime man is meh. Gigguk is my favorite anituber, his videos are very entertaining. |

| Kiwifarms is a faulty source since it's mostly a rumor site Anyways, the guy is a backwards content creator who actually does proclaim himself to be the moral guard of anitubers. He then went full sjw with goblin slayer and E;R and showed his true colors of being backwards. |

| He has an upload titled "Highschool of the Dead is a Masterpiece. F*** You, Fight Me." so I immediately assume this guy has at the least, a functioning brain. Going further, most likely fighting a mass of zombies that conform to status quo. You know something is good by the amount of hate it initially gets from the zombie mass. |

| This was very entertaining to read lmfao. I didn't expect this tbh. |
 |
| He's alright but he should stop milking the fucking SAO hate train already The anime is terrible, I agree with you mate, you can stop now lol Also idk why people say he encouraged skipping jojo parts when his "summary of jojo parts" video was clearly not meant to be taken seriously. |
 |
Wow. This is completely worthless. Maybe he really is just getting shit thrown at him for being left-leaning? He's certainly not my favorite anituber, but this post spends more time bitching about him being left-leaning than it does breaking down his actual content. |

It's probably the only opinion of Geoff I've agreed with. That, and his Cory in the House "What's in an OP" is a genuine masterpiece. I can give him credit where it's due. That was my only input in this thread particularly because of that review. I don't even watch reviews, who does that. "I know what I need today, I need someone to chew and feed me opinions about a show I watched". HOTD masterpiece-five. I'm out of here, enjoy yourselves you fucking idiots. |
| Closer. |
| I don't see his videos as vague, uninspired or contentless at all. There's his rundowns, which are shorter on details by necessity since he's got less time to say why he recommends a show, but he still manages to present a good case. And then there's his OP videos, fight scene videos and other analyses, which delve into cinematography, pick apart themes and generally go more in-depth. He is left-leaning. He's naturally going to view things through that lens. I don't think there's anyone alive who doesn't view things through some kind of political lens, because everyone is raised in a political society. Being apolitical is a political stance, fuck you very much, because it means you're content with not challenging the prevailing views and biases of whatever system you're currently in. Personally, I agree with most of what he's saying. |
| I honestly enjoy his content. Most of what I've seen aren't legitimate criticisms of his content. It's mostly just complaining about his personal opinions on piracy or politics. When people say his reviews lack substance or his content is lacking, I honestly don't know what to say. His content is more in-depth than a lot of other anime content creators I've seen, so I don't know what they mean there. People also like to bandwagon, and there was a lot of Mother's Basement hate awhile ago, so who knows. |

| For one thing, I have very different opinions and don't agree with his. another thing is that his voice is soooo boring, he can't emote for crap I still watch his video from time to time since he is a pretty good writer, but it can get hard to watch due to the voice and different opinions oh yeah, I almost forgot. HE CONSTANTLY SPOILS A SHOW and the way he sponsors things is just, bad, If I made a product and asked him to speak about it I would be pissed off because he, god, his voice acting is so bad, it's way too bad, it's like listening to a math professor talking about algebra. he never (well sometimes) changes his tone, he could atleast try, atleast pretend he cares about what he is talking about, but no, he continues sounding like those old video game commercial guys |

OfDeathandLove said: From what little I've watched of him lately, his analysis is too watered down and offers little actual food for thought. His OP analysis is what I originally subscribed to him for, but it seems like he rarely does that these days. Also, even if you can skip it, shilling (and being proud of shilling) can get super annoying Who cares if he gets sponsored? That's a source of income for him. At least he tries to water it down with humor instead of just giving a straight ad for 30 seconds. |

His content is more in-depth than a lot of other anime content creators I've seen, so I don't know what they mean there. People don't know what analysis looks like--they think anitubers like Alecxzandyr give good analysis when (bless his soul, he tries and he does have good taste) he's just reiterating the overt text of the series as if it's some new insight. When people like Digi and Mother's Basement actually dig up some more subtle meaning, people freak out and claim they're overanalyzing. |
 This glorious signature image was created by @Mayumi! I am the Arbiter of Absolute Truth, and here is my wisdom: "Anime was always influenced by the West. This is not news. Shoujo is the superior genre primarily aimed at young people. Harem/isekai are lazy genres that refuse any meaningful innovation. There is no 'Golden Age.' There will always be top-shelf anime. You should be watching Carole & Tuesday." |
| It was late 2016 or mid 2017,where his video used to be recommended in my youtube sidebar all the time.I watched his 2 or 3 videos in that time but it didn't leave a particularly good impression in me.He comes as a person wearing very fake persona in his video i will say.It always looks like he always says what other vocal critics says about a particular subject exact copying and paste very sallow and dull without adding anything new.Also he lacks charisma because of his very fake persona. Regarding his politics meh i don't care because i lean in radical left of political spectrum but he looks like a typical center lib to me. |

| From what I have seen and read, some of the hate is confusing. One hates on his way he talks about politics, the other literally hates on his political views which are two drastically different things. The subject surrounding his girlfriend is a reason for me to mute him from my feed though. |

| I'm sure there are more than a few people who have opinions about his stance on piracy. I actually don't care what he thinks in this case, he can believe whatever he wants. Most of his series and specific videos I actually don't watch, I really only watch his general videos of anime as a whole (like anime piracy for instance). What's he best known for exactly? I've tried his top 10 lists and what's in an OP videos, which were a snoozefest. |

Escaethorne said: I didn't know shit about him until reading this thread, but why do people bother watching inflated 10~20+ minute videos of people's opinions on an anime? After reading up on him, he's a genuine cuckold, a pretentious idiot, and an SJW. He's also a fucking redditor! He uses /r/anime, aka, the worst place on the internet to talk about anime. |
| TIL MB said it's okay to skip JoJo parts. He's now worse than Digibro. /s Seriously though, don't skip JoJo parts. |
| Yeah his top picks for anime you should watch are extremely safe in accordance to popularity rather than him finding some kind of unexplored jewel of the season but I still like him. My boyfriend watches him from time to time which is one of the few times we can talk about anime on a still very unfair playing field, but still to some level we can. At the very least its got him watching Neverland with me this season soooooo I'm good with the dude's reviews/recommendations. |
 |
| too edgy, too confidence, lack of reviews, no good points. only making for 10 minute mark. ty |
 |
| I have no problems with shilling but I do tend to think that his videos nowadays doesn't really represent his views, rather they're videos for the sake of selling himself or his advertisers. There's no integrity with Geoff atm. |
| i like mother's basements content usually, except for when he's being an sjw soyboy cuz some show sexualizes a girl that looks too loli for his delicate tastes lol |

HopefulNihilist said: So recently I made a thread titled, "In general, are anime youtubers good critics?". @KawaiiPotato1412 also made a thread titled, "The hate on anitubers". I noticed from a lot, and I mean a LOT of posts, that many people hate Mother's Basement. I'm having difficulty understanding why, because I haven't seen anybody provide actual evaluation, except for @Manaban. -Yeah, he shills, but Youtube doesn't pay as much as a regular 9-5 job. Besides, you can always just SKIP the parts in his videos where he is advertising. -Geoff has never claimed his opinion is superior than others': when he says stuff like, "I'm the anime pope" he's clearly joking. -His, "arrogant vibe" is mistaken as confidence. When you make a professional presentation, you're SUPPOSED to sound confident, and secure. Otherwise, you end up sounding like my classmates do in highschool and college when they give out a presentation: low-volume, unconfident, lots of stuttering. Can someone PLEASE tell me, in a legit way, why people hate Mother's Basement? WITHOUT writing a 10 paragraph essay that uses advanced vocabulary and/or phrases the points in a confusing way? I use to watch him, but stopped because he'd try to shoehorn the sao is bad meme whenever he could. I mean he even went out of his way to make a video on the why the game in first season of the anime is bad. |
| I find the situation with his girlfriend hilarious. |

The person in those videos is just as opinionated as Mother's Basement and going on over an hour long tangent about Mother's Basement' opinion on pirating anime why would anyone bother watching that at all. |

Not to mention that the second video is just lying from start to finish. One thing is offering counterpoints, another is making up the points you are countering. Necro XIII is quite entertaining to watch, but there's a lot of issues with their content. The most basic one, the lack of intellectual honesty, which is kind of serious if you specialize in responding to other videos. |
| He seems pretty inoffensive in the few videos I've seen by him idk. Hes certainly better than digibro, who just oozes some kind of obnoxious anticharisma every time he speams. Edit lel internet right wings kids so easily offended another great thread guys |

| He might just be the most superficial analyst on anime I've come across on YouTube. His top list videos are also horrendous, his latest example of copying Cinefix's format turns out a shell of Cinefix's content in a shallow attempt to fit every anime in somehow with a vague comment accompanied such as "oh yeh, this did such and such kind of good". Doesn't help his Twitter is a rabbit hole of far left rhetoric so deep he still thinks socialism hasn't been tried yet. |
| Because he's braindead, like 95% of all anime youtubers. |
 |
| His fans are stupid. They think if MB said so then it must be correct and proceed to spread some really stupid ideas. |
 |
| So I've now watched (while totally not falling asleep) a video or two of his stuff and I've looked at his list of videos and I can say... He seems like just another youtuber with his own opinions on things, and some clickbaity video titles to attract views. I see no particular reason to hate him. Anyhow much of the stuff he makes videos on is recent anime, so much of it is stuff I really don't care to watch, because I haven't watched those series yet myself. |
