| I put 'yes' but with huge caveats. I have quite a lot to say on this subject so it will be tricky to keep this short (I'm trying control my urge to write mini-essays on here lol). [Edit: I FAILED!] Yes they are impressive because they put the effort in to try and take a deep, intellectual look in to the workings of anime. They are serious in their attempt to peel back the layers and see how the various production factors come together to make the work... work. I think there is a level of appreciation for the artform that, while not better than any other form of appreciation, is really interesting and fun to participate in. But... I don't really like most of the actual analysis and the people doing the analysis. It's the pretentiousness. The genre snobbery. The faux high-brow pompousness of many of these personalities and the general mindset they adopt. While I love the attempt to do deep-dive, intellectual analysis, and I engage in the same intellectual masturbation myself all the time, there's too much ego and 'high-mindedness'. I kind of don't believe in the existance of high and low brow in art. All expression is equal in value. Even though there may sometimes be a deeper message or complex themes, I don't think those things have any inherent value over a fun comedy with fan service that has no intention but to make the viewer laugh and be aroused. There is skill in crafting both types of shows and the emotional value that people take away varies too. Take the most-straightfoward, comedic, fan-service-laden action adventure and there will always be some people for whom is has a very dear place in their heart. That's where the value in art is. When it reaches people in a special way that they carry onward in to the rest of their lives. A good example is an anime I'm watching right now: DanMachi. It's not doing anything particularly groundbreaking. It's not got any deep themes really. But it's so damn fun. There's no pretentiousness but it takes itself just seriously enough for me to feel invested in the story while keeping a light-hearted atmosphere. I've having a great time. But what do I get when I look at the MAL reviews? It's a dumpster fire, apparently. One would have to be mentally retarded to enjoy it if you believe what people say about it. I haven't dared look up reviews on YouTube. Too many of these pretentious analytical types also fall in to the trap of valuing pain and suffering as a more legitimate form of artistic expression. I call it the 'Oscars effect'. You notice how many dramas that are barely anything more then emotional torture porn win awards such as Oscars every year? It's as though these people in charge of choosing what is and isn't good in art have a fetish for pain. People see deep meaning in these kinds of shows/movies when there is none. Most of them have no more deep meaning than DanMachi, but happy = low brow apparently. There are many shows which emit an 'aura' of seriousness which makes them seem really deep and meaningful and then people make up that meaning and use big words to justify their interpretation. And, to be honest, that's fine by me. I love it. I do it myself with shows I like all the time. But when they do the reverse to shit on shows... I get the impression that they need to create this high-brow / low-brow dichotomy to elevate the shows they consider worthy above the lesser shows. Got to have 'shitty' shows to point at so your favourites look good right? Look, I'm not saying there aren't bad shows. Attack on Titan is better than Shitcom. I don't know if I'd use the word 'objectively' but 99.9% of people would agree, and words have meaning through concensus. But it's the language people use that gets to me. Looking down on shows because they just want to be fun and don't bother with a theme or deep meaning. It's fine if they want to say those shows don't appeal to them. But their attitude is that they are objectively shit and everyone should agree and if you like them you are dumb. That's the impression I get. So yeah, I like deep analysis. I just wish it could be done without the snobbery and pretentiousness more often. As for individual YouTubers: Glass Reflection actually does a decent job but I was very displeased with his Goblin Slayer video. There are good reasons to not like Goblin Slayer but his argument regarding tonal changes isn't it chief. There have been other times I've been a bit annoyed at his pretention. He is definitely up himself but doesn't come off as an asshole too often. Under the Scope is OK, sometimes. Other times complete pretentious nonsense. Digibro ping pongs back and forth like crazy. He'll make one video where I'm like 'this guy gets it' and then another where he comes off as an asshole. Mother Basement is the epitome of everything I've spoken about in this post. Which is shame because his actual analytical skills are the probably the best of the lot. If you want seriously long deep-dives then I highly recommend Nearly On Red. Older guy, more mild-mannered than most YouTubers. Great videos but I don't watch them anymore because it's just too much lol. I suppose I should mention Gigguk because sometimes does analytical videos and they're OK. My problem with Gigguk is how overproduced all his content is. It's not very YouTube. I would prefer to see him just sitting around talking semi off-the-cuff (very few YouTubers actually talk off-the-cuff 100% but you know what I mean). Also he plays it very safe, unlike my boy Joey who'll happy make a video about how much better subs are than dubs because he speaks his mind. |

 I don't believe in the Devil. You should. He believes in you. |
| Some of these guys are probably letting their own personal biases influence their analysis which would make them lean more towards opinion than fact. This is just an assumption since I don't watch anitubers. I mean, I'd rather watch something and judge it myself than sit through a lengthy video of some guy explaining why I shouldn't watch something because he thinks it's shit. Yes, I realize the anime would be longer than the video, but that doesn't change my statement. I'll stick to watching video game analysis videos. At least those will point out flaws that stop me from wasting money on broken games. |

I think I watched that video before, and I don't think I was too impressed by it: I remember the video maker was basically just comparing Fate/Zero to a Greek tragedy, which I think was done before. |

| "Why do people say anime analysis's aren't impressive?" Because for example I am usually not impressed. Have read some literature and movie analysis (the therm is synthesis of analysis because the actual analysis wouldn't fit in such short form) and they go way deeper and substantial. The usual anime analysis goes too shallow, too one sided and suggests too much without actual proofs. Not sure why is so. Maybe serious critics are not interested in anime. Those few who are go only with the Ghibli movies (and tend to misinterpret the japanese context because they are usually not familiar with it). On the other hand maybe I don't know where to find those critics. The anitubers come as almost a parody...especially Digi who sometimes makes stuff up just to prove his hypotheses. Also they are forced to use shorter simplified format + flashy titles and themes to gather more watchers. They can't afford to go too deeper or geekier - people would get borred. |

Greyleaf said: desusama said: On a more serious note it's usually because of the stigma of anime not being considered "intelligent" enough to analyze. Most people are either in the "lol Chinesee cartoons" or the "lemme just watch my shows and have a good time" camps so they don't put much value into anime analysis. This is honestly a bit sad to me. As someone who did a bit of film criticism in college, once I began watching anime more frequently a few years back I realized that it has much more artistic merit as a medium at large than anyone ever seems to give it credit for. Animation itself is a far more versatile medium than live-action, especially when it comes to symbolic imagery. So yeah, the people out there who think that way are just closed-minded or conditioned to false beliefs. And no, I'm not saying that symbolism or analyses are important to everyone, or that everyone cares enough to research into things that way, but it blows my mind that some people would outright disregard the true masterpieces out there as intelligent works. I agree with that. The reason why animation has received less critical attention and why anime criticism tends not to be as sophisticated as film or literary criticism is largely sociological, rather than ontological (pertaining to the inherent nature of the medium). |

84DaysWithout said: HopefulNihilist said: Okay, that's something I haven't thought of: how literary critics receive actual academic teachings. But what do those academic teachings teach that anitubers aren't aware of? Citing all sources, using specific theories/critical approaches to examine literature through (i.e feminism, post structural, postmodernism), just having access to a wealth of trusted information that is locked behind a subscription or some university privilege, receiving constructive criticism to improve rather than having to filter the online trolls for good advice I wouldn't say anitubers are unaware of these things. But they just don't have to follow these rules to produce well received videos whereas in academia you have to meet all sorts of guidelines before a paper is publishable. You can also say nothing of unique value in an anime video and still be well received because of great editing. IIRC Digibro complained about this in his "shit talking anitubers" rant Agree. Though I would prefer to say "theoretical thinking" rather than "using theory", because a lot of junk can be also produced by people who applying theory on a text in a mechanical way, without internalising those theoretical ideas. In my opinion theory is really just metacriticism, ie. critically examination of the activity of criticism. For example, I have seen quite a few of anime criticism that tries to break down a show into a certain number of themes or "messages", which is a common approach amongst them if they want to be "philosophical", but the question that is never dealt with is on a meta-level: what is the point of rewriting the whole show through a set of thematic keywords? Why is that not enough to let the show speaks for itself? Such a question would lead us to the theoretical debates between hermeneutics and anti-hermeneutics. A training in theoretical thinking makes you a more self-aware critics. You would have a better understanding of what you're doing and why, and such a self-understanding would have an affect on your writing even though you're not explicitly applying any theory. |

HopefulNihilist said: could someone please give an example, like, I dunno, a comparison between how an anituber analyzes a fictional media, vs a film/literary critic who's been trained? I have already given an example: David Bordwell. A highly respected film scholar. http://www.davidbordwell.net/blog/ Just look up to his blog posts and see whether he has done analysis on something you've watched. A lot of his works focus on arthouse cinema and the older films but he has also done works on Christopher Nolan. He is an old school formalist so his work is usually written in a very approach language without too much theoretical jargons. |

jal90 said: raisin-kun said: I should add for @jal90 that there are groups like Sakugablog who analyze anime who take the context of the anime's creation into account and have direct connections to the industry itself without being shillers for major western production companies. Would you put those types on the same level as anitubers? Not at all, of course. Sakugablog is heavy in research. I don't particularly enjoy their analysis though because they are production notes more than anything, but they are a very reliable source for that and they go into them pretty thoroughly which is great if you are into that aspect of anime analysis. Yeah. Mostly their commentary on sakuga comes down to the facts/speculation behind it and simply pointing out what the good scenes are. I really appreciate Sakugablog though. They are amongst the very few anime critics who know what they are saying when it comes to sakuga. |

| I think most analyses of anything are just fluff. in the same way that people can analyse a blank canvas and make up 1000s of meanings for it, people can do that with anime. And thats what analysis ends up being most of the time. A bunch of made up nonsense totally subjective to the experience of whoever is doin the analysis - that can easily turn out simple minded or chalked full of brain dead philosophy. doesnt mean there is absolutely no value in analysis, but it does mean that sometimes there is no real value. the worst is that you get nerd losers like digibro who think they are better than others and "deeper" than others because they like to infer meaning where there might not be any. |
| https://combosmooth.itch.io/ - I make free-to-play browser games for PC and I sell pixel art animation here |
| Because most anime fans are dumb, and because people know absolutely nothing about the technical aspects of animation/production, and probably even less about the industry itself and how it actually fits into Japanese culture. (not that I know a lot of these things, but if I'm going to read/watch someone's 'analysis' I think they should be more informed than I am). Also, analysis tends to focus more on narrative than visual imagery and movement and stuff like that because most of what a critic knows does not go beyond what you can find in a high school literature class. I think a lot of times, a critic will focus so much on one little thing and then mistakenly follow that thought into the abyss of self-deception, that they end upmissing out on more obvious and meaningful ideas. For anitube videos specifically, arguments are so carefully made, and so highly dependent on the context of the video itself, that if the viewer even thinks a little bit, the meaning of the video collapses immediately into nothing. And finally, no critics are going to analyse/review the random anime that I think deserve it. |

| First of all, there's a whole world of anime analysis outside of Youtube. Hardly are a bunch of Youtubers all of it. Also, I don't understand why segment criticism like that; many of the same principles apply to both live action films and anime. Watch Every Frame's Painting's videos on Wolf Children. Second, wondering why a random on Youtube isn't giving the insights of Derrida is just a bit silly. I, for one, think you're analysis can be impressive even if you're not the greatest thinker of our time. Of course, it goes without saying that not all non-anime criticism is as good as the best of the Western Canon. That said, none of the people he name drops could hope to give me better insights into anime than, say, The Canipa Effect, which is to say that there's more to it than the script. |

And as for sexualization of lolis just think about this for a second here put your self in their mind these are created by adults and these adults are creating characters which have demonstrable features which are comparable to children and they're putting them in sexual scenarios. Why because they're doing this to arouse other children or other adults so you have an adult who's trying to arouse a child or you have an adult that's trying to arouse an adult with a child do I even need to explain how fucked up this is. And as for crunchyroll yes I agree they are being somewhat hypocritical. They need to practice what they preach. |

| Impressive? Sure. The amount of thought that goes into SOME of them are astonishing. Does that make them enjoyable to watch? Hell no. They're boring as fuck lmao. Most of them are just people talking over anime footage. I agree with everything that Under the Scope says about Kara no Kyoukai in his review/analysis, but that doesn't stop me from falling asleep whenever I hear that voice of his. Same can be said about GoatJesus and his reviews on Tatami Galaxy and Texhnolyze. TLDR: Would much rather read a written analysis rather than hear someone's monotone voice. |
