I still think he is a great anime reviewer, who really knows his stuff. I agree he's "knowledgeable" and clearly a really smart person, but he still, like everyone else had their own biases. So ppl shouldn't be thinking just because he said something that it's of any more value |

hisokathebutcher said: this is probably the most stupid thread i have read in a while "why not stare at the wall " yeah ! Because you can turn your brain off your mind ! Whats next ? Drool while watching ? The funny thing is that you mention the word enjoyment , now i am not an english native speaker , but enjoyment would be letting thing flow on their own without overanalzing things , as one of tool lyrics " overanalizng sepreat the mind from the soul " . So anime is not a math class . But since this elitest one don't even study nor work ( like your digibro amigo ) they start to think maybe overanalzing animes would make me smart huh ? Anyway , whatever work for you , bring a pen and a paper while watching and write everything that seems "wrong" or cliche and maybe one day you can become like davinchi . it's very sad to see people just misunderstand arguments to this degree. holy shit. |

CapitalistGod said: I only think of turning your brain off is a way of saying you should keep an open mind, considering there are anime/manga out there like Higurashi and confuse you left and right...Well, as Digibro in his latest video tried to make me understand(and he's right if you really think about it).... if that's possible then why do you consume anime, in the first place? Why not stare at the wall and be entertained? Being able to distinguish what you like or dislike is a proof that you have a set standard for critical judgment. Hell, as long as you're a human, you should be able to think and thinking is essentially judging. This is where this so called "elitists" are quite right in saying. "Turning your brain off" is BS. |

| Personally I can't stand shows that require 0 brain activity. I like to think ahead, notice potential leads, predict some outcomes/further actions. So from these alone I'm always there when I'm watching anime. + English isn't my mother tonge so I need to focus on the sub a little bit. But I'm not "overthinking" it. Sometimes I have a fair arguement with my friends about some anime related topics, but during an anime thinking aobut staff like: "this duel has to and in a draw" or "I can't belive this character sid that, she should be a moron and have a MC fetish... oh wait girl romance strategy #69". And yes in thosecases when we diecuss / argue about someting in a anime then I go balls deep into all the legit analysis of why a certain duel was complete bullshit in ~6th episode of Akame ga Kill!. And no we don't even start discussing the final conftontations because that would take a day to get through. Anyway tl;dr: Personally I like thinking about the anime whie watching. But after that any balls deep analysis can be made. + Language makes ma really hard to just turn my brain off. |
| Turning your brain off will not accomplish anything. Anime do have to do something right to provide you with entertainment even if the writing isn't of any literary merit. Here's a review I made about a show that's technically shit but is very enjoyable. You may have to suspend your disbelief, but your brain can remain fully functional and sober and that will not impair your ability to enjoy it. |
  |
| Why do you need to have your brain on when being entertained? Anime is a form of entertainment |
| I never understood what it means to "turn your brain off". When I watch I just watch and try to understand what's going on. If it's comedy I laugh, if it's action I get hyped, if it's mystery or some deep plot I might actually rewatch some scenes to make sure I got everything. If an anime makes me think about something deeply then fine, if not that's also fine. Actually turning my brain off would kind of mean I'm being bored, so I'm not even paying attention to what's happening. And when that happens I drop it. |
| It's a stupid term just like most terms that came out of the anime communities. That being said, Digibro isn't very intelligent either and I wouldn't listen to what he says most of the time. |

I don't know if that's true but, it can also manifest on everyone.... Yea that's probably more like it, but theres so many ppl who just follow the sheep or do things like lower their score cause they watched a reviewer who said something negative about a show "I heard this show was bad, so I'm not gonna watch" I have a friend who was dodging a show for like 2 months cause he heard it sucked. Then he eventually watched the show and was like "wow, I love this" I don't believe for a second that SO MANY ppl hate SAO, it'd just ppl constantly see ppl shit talking it, so they jump on the hate train to fit in Mhhh... About SAO... The hate train will probably be forever... I know that for a fact... The same with all of the series that will be released, people will never stop complaining... People can do whatever they want, if they "listen/believe" to the reviews of any sort of user/people it's up to them, I am not affected by their shit or whatever they want to do... Well in the end, it really boils down to what people think... It's the same as, if you prefer modern anime or old school anime... Really that's just it, either you like modern art or you don't...

| I wouldnt turn my brain off to anything, instead, i would enjoy it while keeping in mind what he did right and what he did wrong. But of course, there is something different called overanalising or overcriticizing that makes some animes hard to be enjoyed, if anything, i would stop trying to criticize or analise that kinds of show a lot and enjoy the best way i can, i would criticize a little but not overdo it like some kind of reviewer |

_Ako_ said: FromZeroToZero said: Digibro is the example of an elitist who takes anime too seriously, that's why I hate him. And why the hell are you watching if you want to turn your brain off?? That's so fucking stupid He's just an edgy guy who likes to sound smart but in the end he's making fool of himself by over analyzing anime Let's get things straight. If you turn-off your brain, you're fucking dead meat. CNS works every time, not just when you're doing an activity or something IQ related. But, still if his making a fool of himself, I wonder why people, or almost all of the people agrees to him? Does that mean most of the user are Elitist? Just like the guy who made this thread? @EcchiLordMamster People have their own ideas, it's just they can't choose, thus going-in with the majority of the people that manifest their ideas... I don't know if that's true but, it can also manifest on everyone.... No one agrees on his opinions, and if you do then you need help. He has a sandal for a brain. He's a masochist who creates edgy and stupid (also mostly wrong) reviews to get hate attention so he can feed his fetish |

Number of subscribers doesn't mean anything, take pewdiepie for example (acts like a tit for 5 mins, gets 47 mil subs). And he appeals to people (elitists) who hate half assed anime so a lot of people like him. |
| Aside from Digi being a huge hypocrite, staring at a wall is nowhere near as enjoyable as doing anything else, yea i know it was hyperbola but a shitty one.

 Oshii is probably the only director that loves dogs. He thinks he's a dog himself. That's right, its slime! It will dissolve your clothing slowly before my eyes! |
| Such a task is harder to pull of in a medium your passionate and critical about. If you don't pay attention to inner workings of something, even if it's udder garbage, you'll likely enjoy it despite the fact that that basically meant you hardly cared. A large chunk of what makes us hate an anime is how bad it screws up and takes passionate viewers out of the story and damages our suspension of disbelief. It's why shows like Absolute Duo have terrible scores. It doesn't always work in a terrible show's favor, but when it does, it can lead to underservedly high scores, like Irregular at Magic High School. It's a tactic you can employ when you don't care too much about what's being presented and only care get things are happening rather than things are done competently. |

Murozaki said: The amount of people here who seriously think that high quality "dumb fun" shows do not deserve serious thinking from the viewer depress me. Yeah, exactly... Even "dumb fun" have something that makes it dumb fun.... Analyzing how Tetsurou Araki(Death Note, Attack on Titan, High School of the Dead, Guilty Crown, Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress) directs is one example of this since he's .the one responsible for numerous "dumb fun" shows. |

| I don't buy it. There's always something to learn or think about with anime. That was a major misconception I saw about NGNL, that it's mindless and you shouldn't think. Except for the half a dozen references to how human nature breeds strength through weakness. People who turn their brains off do it because they're good at it. |

JkayW said: I don't really know anything about this YouTuber, and I'm not really one to deter discussion in most senses, but the amount I see his name thrown around here is definitely frequent enough for me to question the content of his character. A part of me asks, are these concerns that he purposes something people like to gather around? Are these things so mentally stimulating that they actually have people examining themselves? Are they not obvious to begin with, and if not, are they difficult for one to ascertain?Another thread made from a Digibro video where the answer is so painfully obvious it hurts just thinking about it. For some they probably are. They might be the first instance one has ever had the opportunity to develop. Or perhaps much like many things within the anime community, it's something people like to circle jerk around for years on end. For myself more specifically, I find it to be a tad silly. |
| Honestly it would be the best way to judge a show fairly. To just go in with no assumptions, not knowing shit about the show or who produced, and just judging it at face value for what you see. Unfortunately no one's got time for that shit. So more than likely people are gonna pick and choose what they want to watch to save time. But I'm sure there are people who do their best to watch anime like that, and I can only respect that because I would never be able to do that anymore unless I have an infinite amount of time on my hands. |
