Why is Mother's Basement in shit tier while Fornever World on F and Double4anime on E
not that I like MB
Because Mother's Basement is the worst anituber by a few kilometers if you actually sit down and listen to his opinions, both what serves as the foundation of them as well as how goddamn unfocused and just outright bumbly and poorly he is when trying to explain himself? I mean, a seemingly bad foundation can turn good through proper articulation and substantiation, but he can literally take the sentence of "Maburaho is bad, Mahouka is bad, so everything in between them must also be bad and they're all just ripping off Harry Potter" and turn it into like, 20 minutes of tangental rambling about nonsense that may or may not have some sort of vague connection to the main topic as he plugs his sponsors, so the foundation sounds stupid and stays stupid.
Like, I don't see how anybody can defend him, honestly. It's not even a matter of him having right or wrong think, he just geniunely sucks and getting his point across and often comes across like he's trying to prop himself up as a somebody trying to express his thoughts on a series in a critical sense, but really never does much except plug aspects to his character (i.e. he really, really likes to draw pointless comparisons between SAO and other series, and they're pointless in the sense that they don't compare what SAO does wrong and this series does right but they just end up serving as him plugging his hatred for SAO into the video because of how much he emphasizes that one opinion of him as part of his character) plug sponsors at the most obtuse times (literally does it right in the middle of trying to make a point sometimes) on top of basically just being the equivalent of listening to drunken tangents, except it's coming from a sober guy trying to be a critic. Does he even write out what he wants to say beforehand? Y'know, put thought and effort and shit into what he's trying to talk about and not just sits down and just starts talking about what immediately comes to his mind in front of the camera, because he bounces around on tangent to tangent, sometimes into downright irrelevant things all together, and it makes it feel like he doesn't really think too far ahead of time or, for a more cynical outlook, that he's just padding his videos to get past that extra length mark.
Basically, we can put aside how he's basically just got CR's hand up his ass moving his mouth like a puppet and we'd still get a downright terrible anime analysis channel on a level that's structural and how he presents his points and arguments. I really don't see how anybody can defend his content nor do I see how anybody can really even like it, truth be told.
Feels like it's harder to be as consistently bad as he is than it is to be accidentally good sometimes. Maybe one day he'll be able to express himself like an actual analyst and not just some dumb fuck perpetually caught in a state having the skill level of somebody writing their very first review.
I hardly watched any of his videos cause I never was into this anitube thingy except Lost Pause and some shitty shitpost channel cause I just want to watch for fun, maybe except Super Eyepatch and Chocolat (miss my nigga), but Fornever is just another hype rider and Double4 is also a douchebag. I never said I was defending MB, I just felt like most of this list can be put into shit tier anyway. Hence, why I do not watch anituber unless they do funzys, luls and shit like that.
