[@WeatherReportsHat]

I've always personally tried to use the word 'favorite' instead of 'best' when describing things I like. JoJo's is my favorite anime, is it the best? To be frank I have no idea. Enjoyment is subjective, just because I love Tokyo Revengers doesn't mean that my friends have to either, or that my friends not liking it then has to impede on my own enjoyment of it.

[@cheezaroo]

Exactly, there's no "best" since everyone has different opinions so it could be the worst for someone. My favorites land in Hunter x Hunter and Jojo's too since it's adventurous and unique, but other people might not like those so even if it was qualified "best" by some company or whatever someone will always disagree. Also I really like getting my friends into stuff I like, but ad you said it doesn't matter if they don't like what you like. They actually got into those both animes though lmao.

[@mshelley7]

Bro I can’t pick a “favorite” anything. I just default to “I love this anime”, or “it’s so good” at this point lol

Haha I think you can dislike something without being able to voice exactly what made it bad until later on. You could also think something is good, but then once you delve into its complexities, realize that it's actually pretty bad. The opposite is also true. You can like something and not realize exactly what made it good and why you like it, until you learn more about plot, themes, conflict resolutions, character development, etc.. you get my point 😂 It's like when I first watched Black Widow, i thought it was ok, but lacking. Now after looking back on it and viewing a few breakdowns, I can tell you exactly why I thought it was lacking and outright say it was a terrible film 😂

[@Mecks089]

Agree, to a certain degree. With a significantly high amount of bullshit activism entering anime communities these past few years, saying all this nonsense about how horrible, or _"harmful"_ certain anime is, wanting to use cancel culture to try and control Japan's media. Trying rid of all the fun stuff that contributes to making anime what it is, in an attempt to turning the industry into the exact same sinking fucking ship situation as the American comics industry is, a.k.a. Woke bulllshit. If this was 10 years ago, I'd 100% agree with you in being against it, in letting others like what they wanna like, but that was prior to anime as a medium being mainstream, prior to all the bullshit feminism, SJW, and mentally dysfunctional behaviors - such as treating 2D fictional characters like real people, and giving them real human rights. Making certain idiotic individuals lash out and harass Artists and Mangaka on twitter. Now I kind of support Elitism & Gatekeeping in the global anime community. Because shit is just ridiculous now.

[@YTDariuS-my6dg]

Yeah man gatekeepers are generally almost always dumb as hell. Remember I saw a video that mentioned a girl raging like a bi*ch because a dude ate tofu despite not being vegan, because apparently tofu is only for vegans because vegans don't have enough variety or whatever, and the dude that ate tofu must be trying to decieve people that he's vegan so he can be popular ... My first reaction was "Yeah whatever, go eat leaves or something and leave the man and his tofu alone."

[@swordzanderson5352]

One word? Elitism. Another? Condescending.

[@SuperWHIIITE]

What the fuck even is a "fake fan?" If someone enjoys something they're a fan. That's it. Call someone a fake fan because they watched 10 episodes of one piece. Okay? Do I need to watch ALL of One Piece to get my fan card? All 981 fucking episodes? Or can I upgrade after episode 528? How do you even quantify something like this? This is like Ign rating a game a 7.9. Like what the fuck just give it an 8 you shitbiscuits!

[@user-dq9so8nq7t]

Imagine supporting an anime for a very long time even when its not yet popular. You donate and share it to others and all of sudden it gets the publicity it deserves. After all that some guy who watched 2 episodes is now acting like a big shot who think he knows better than every fan in the community. The bad thing is that he just uses the anime popularity for clout.

[@YTDariuS-my6dg]

@@user-dq9so8nq7t yeah, except that doesn't happen, and even if it does that's not really what this is about. We're talking about people who are fans for a longer time than you and Lord that fact above you and/or forbid you from liking the same thing they do. It isn't limited to anime. I had a dude tell me not to play War Thunder bc I'm not a real fan and I don't know how to play the game (despite the fact that to like it and know how to play it I NEED to try playing it in the first place). Plus I don't get why people wouldn't want to spread around the thing they're fans of, and rather keep it to themselves. It's selfish not only because other people can't enjoy it but also because the creator might depend on more people liking their product.

[@raspberrycordial5996]

It sounds like a lot of people are saying overhyping a great show will make the show seem mediocre when they watch it. This is not really to blame on the hype, but on how the hype has been interpreted. To me, when someone is hype about something, all I think is "huh, guess I'll check it out" and put it on my watch list. I never think "well this show better blow my damn mind". Hype is akin to a recommendation, not a freaking Emmy (which can also be horribly wrong). Hype is exciting. Seeing your friends and hearing them get over-the-moon excited when they say how much they love a show is awesome. Just interpret that excitement properly, and you'll never be misled. Note: Dorohedoro is freaking sick go check it out

[@ferln4]

This. I've always made sure not to set my expectations too high of any show people reccommend to me, and this way I think I end up enjoying more shows or disliking them less.

[@mutesgraveyard6733]

The problem is more how people recommending the show, they come with a promise "a is the best anime of all time", "if you like a then you def like b", "a has the best world building", "a has the best mc", etc. It make you unconsciously expect something. And when you see their promise is actually meh for you or you see it as bad thing, you feel some level of dissapointment. Now if you dont have this certain goal created by effect of overhype, you probably can enjoy the show as it is.

[@imsentinelprime9279]

The issue is that the people that do the recommending say things such as., Oh this anime will be anime of the year. Or something like the manga is a masterpiece which sets my expectations higher

[@itsfine_txt]

like i started watching Demon Slayer before it got most of the hype it has now, and i enjoyed it a lot. i didn't think it was one of my ultimate favorites or that it was super special in any way, but i really liked it. then i got shocked when it suddenly got this huge hype and popularity. i was shocked but also happy because it _is_ a nice anime and i was glad so many people like it. but then lots of people started saying stuff like about how it's the best anime, has the best characters, has the best plot, etc. i got annoyed because i seriously didn't think it was _that_ special. i chalked up those kinds of comments to people who aren't that familiar with anime and just went along with the hype and amazing visuals. and yeah, i also chalked up most of Demon Slayer's popularity to its animation and how the characters, premise, and plot are decent enough that they can overhype them. consequently, i find a lot of Demon Slayer fans annoying and even find myself avoiding content related to it. but do i dislike Demon Slayer now? nope. do i think its ruined now? not really. i still more or less like it as much as i initially did. the fans can affect your opinion on the show, but the base for your opinion has to be the show itself. without seeing other people's opinions, i thought Demon Slayer was great. after seeing people praise the characters and plot too high (imo), i got annoyed and mentally compared it to other animes and noted how much better other animes are (imo), lowering my initial opinion of Demon Slayer in a "oh this isn't as good as i first thought it was now that i think about it" way. then i saw opinions praising Demon Slayer that i haven't thought of and actually agree with, so my opinion of it went up again in a "ooh i didn't realize that, now i can appreciate it more" way. but ultimately? i try not to get involved in the fandoms of stuff i'm not _that_ into. yeah this was purely a rant

[@nightcoremusic1896]

Yup same for me went in because of the hype and turned out to be "meh okay" for me nothing special. And as for the fan part yes there so many of them going on telling how demon slayer is the "best anime" or the "next big thing" even though there so many animes out there which are clearly much better than it

[@itsfine_txt]

@@nightcoremusic1896 yeah. like duh it's enjoyable, and it definitely isn't objectively bad. but it's obviously nowhere near "best" material. only its animation is considerable for such imo. maybe its emotional aspects are a nice standout but not enough for titles like "one of the best" (at least from what i remember). it's so painfully obvious that a lot of people overhype it. i'm not surprised it has a bit of a negative reputation for it.

[@itsfine_txt]

@@yvngyagami yeah, there are definitely fans that genuinely believe it's the best even after considering the other stuff they've seen, but you can still be a fan of something without thinking it's the best. like my problem is with people who claim that it's the best when most of their admiration is bcs of the visuals (which is a valid thing to be impressed by; the problem's when they judge the quality of the overall show from mostly the visuals instead of just, y'know, saying the visuals are amazing) or some superficial or objectively not impressive thing. not that it bothers me so much since it's really not that bad compared to some other fandoms, but it does get annoying sometimes since it's so widespread, hence the rant.

Idk, 99% of the time I agree. Like Tower of God I feel didn't live up to the hype but I still really enjoyed it. But my one exception is Demon Slayer. I really feel like I would have liked it more if I hadn't been expecting an absolutely incredible experience. I think it was just because the disparity between the hype and the reality was so vast tbh. Usually when an anime is overhyped it's not too far behind your expectations, but this time it was way behind. I blame my buddy Craig tho, dude raved about DS pretty much every time I saw him for like a year straight. Love him tho 💕

[@jtnachos16]

The difference is MINDLESS hype overriding reasonable expectation. You don't have to 'lower' your expectations to have them be reasonable. You just have to not let them be INFLATED by others. There's nothing wrong with being excited and eagerly looking forward to something. Just don't expect it to be perfect and put it on a pedestal. Perfection is a pipe dream that should it ever really be achieved, would be a vast disappointment in and of itself. It's all downhill from there, after all.

As always just speaking the truth my man, great video. I never understood why so many people have this super desire to just saying whatever online, and putting blame and complaining about everything. If I don't like something, or I just warn people by saying that I didn't like it, like a normal human, or not even that, I keep with me until asked... I kinda understand how overhyping tho can lots of times put high expectations on you, and usually you get frustrated by that, and that's why usually I wait the hype season to just go down a bit before I see it, because then I will have a fair perspective on the subject and more desire to actually try it... But if someone hypes a lot and I end up seeing, that no ones fault, it happens, everyone likes some garbage from time to time... I like dragonball, well obviouslly there is a limit to liking garbage, I'm not gonna enjoy something like Nanatsu no Taisai, Black clover or Boruto, I have self respect, but damn I like some trash animes too from time to time... Just relax my guys, is not the end of the world if you don't like something, or if someone doesn't like what you like either...

I'm of two minds on the issue of growing fanbases: On one hand, I love to see a community grow and prosper, getting more members, more content, and a more rich experience. On the other hand, there is a critical mass where the community is infested by rat bastard scumsucking chickenshits and they ruin it for everyone who liked it in the first place by imposing ridiculous double standards on everyone, thereby effectively outcasting all of the original people who were into that shit and helped grow the community in the first place because they are too problematic, or they said some edgy shit a decade ago. I do believe in fake fans - not the kind of people you talk about, like random egirls wearing merch from a show they saw two episodes of, but the kind of people who join a community because it's an easy way to gain perceived status over others. If you've been around the internet for a while, I'm sure you can think of a few examples of people who have zero interest in the fandom or product, and instead are seemingly just there to fuck with people.

[@yuukielric6756]

So rightly put. This is probably the biggest reason why i don't engage too much now. I just watch, read, and share with my brother. Back in the days, i used to be so active on anime online forums, and there was not as much toxicity as you see today. Nobody cared too much about making a show seem more superior to another. You watched what you liked, talked about it, shared the excitement, shared your life,made memories. Now you cannot even leave a comment somewhere without attracting people who are there just to mess around. All i can hope is that they are watching paid content- would give some worth to the toxicity they spread.

I guess it is what it is. And you most likely have to make a choice either way: To keep your fanbase as sterile as possible but at the cost of popularity, or make your fanbase known to wider masses but at the cost of that sterility in the first place. I'm sure each option has its own advantages and disadvantages, it all comes down to what things that you are willing to sacrifice in the end.

I think the problem with hype is that sometimes it can be a good show, high quality, good story, made with a lot of spirit, while sometimes it can be something pretty trashy, but most people will assume that just because it is popular, that it is the best thing around, and that closes people off from a lot of really good series that they would probably be hyped over as well if they tried them. A lot of the times series that come out in the same period will have similar qualities, and even when a really good series is overhyped, there can be other to equal it or may be even better, or fit the tastes of people that aren't into the overhyped thing, but they just assume that everything is just like the thing that people talk about more often. Sometimes fans can be delusional about liking a series to a point where they won't allow people to have other favourites which is also pretty annoying.

Liked the video good stuff. I like how you covered the duality of Overhype however, I feel you didn't touch on some general negative points as much or at all. Like you mentioned "if you get burned chill and think for yourself" & as someone who's had trouble making friends from moving around a lot as well as being anti social living vicariously through manga/anime characters has enriched me and taught me more than my parents. So when I see toxic overhype from backlash I personally get hurt as these stories are a part of me, and shrugging it off as some stupid comment can work but not to the same degree as shrugging off a mean comment from a customer because unless it's my dream job this business isn't who I am nor a reflection of myself. So when the author in Japan doesn't care about white girl from Ohio, it generally doesn't affect how strongly I wanna tell others off for their hate. As a thinking creature born to adapt and overcome when someone vicariously disrespects me through a story because someone overhyped it, my conclusive thought is to stop the overhype. I know the comment wasn't directed at me personally even if it hurt me as such so it wouldn't be right to shoot the messenger but the cause of the message instead. Everyone's different and will see things in different lights and so you need a sense of self to guide on a path that feel right however you cannot define self without defining others so while it my time might be spent better on more productive things like drawing working out or writing I feel a part of maturity requires accepting and embracing that fact and arguing in twitter threads definitely defines others and yourself by proxy.

[@redowl2297]

I actually studied Black Clover in order to learn how not to structure a story, in the meantime that made it twice as fun to watch because everytime they repented for their last 20 minutes blank screenplay with a decent 5 minutes scene I was hyped to finally see progress in the show's quality :)). For now I'll remeber Black Clover as the "dick-move" anime that sacrificed it's first 30 episodes in order to build up an arsenal of characters that were then used only to their minimal capacity😂

Idk if this is a bad comment but, im japanese and i have grown up with anime my whole entire life. But nobody can creatively explain the concept of "Anime" better than Scamboli.

They way he approaches different types of anime from different perspectives while at the same time giving insight on his own opinion in one video is out standing. His well choreographed videos with his logical and hypothetical opinion creates a clear image on how to approach anime, each video i click on shows a well thought out plan.
