1 Million Ways To Love (And Hate) Anime

[@trygveplaustrum4634]

5:00 "I can break down character designs like this for an hour." Look, Digi, we all know you can. But can you, like, actually post an hour-long discussion, since you can? We'll listen, don't worry.

[@eliasbachner1898]

I would love to watch that! Please make this a reality!

[@drago3036]

Trygve Plaustrum i was thinking about asking the same thing XDDD

[@cameoshadowness7757]

Trygve Plaustrum Agreed.

[@FullmoonPhantom-dn2sr]

Watch the after dark channel or his podcasts if you want hour long vids, but I do agree, I'd love hearing him do that too.

[@Linck192]

I DARE YOU

[@Retroduck7]

“I could break down character design like this for an hour.” Do it. “...and I could story and characters like this for the rest of my life. DO IT.

[@muteto2686]

yeS

[@LaserFace23]

The first in a series of 999,999 other videos, can't fucking wait my dude.

[@Linck192]

already 2k? cool, just 997,999 videos left now!

[@LaserFace23]

But those videos aren't part of the series "1 million things to love and hate about anime". They do not specifically talk about the million things. I need a specific list.

[@Thunder-Sky]

Digibro does love lists.

[@TheMediaKnights]

I would actually love to hear Digibro talk about and deconstruct character designs for an hour

[@Hawkbreath36]

I'm looking forward to the After Dark where 90% of r/anime miss the point of this video and Digi gets pissed off enough to go over some of the differences of Overlord and Log Horizon

[@mrupload4381]

The cycle never ends.

[@Vanessa_exe]

would watch

[@shino4242]

Because the people who disagree are inherently bias and are only looking to confirm their bias and completely ignore counter information. Those people will list "a million" ways they are the same while ignoring other people listing "a million" ways they are different, focusing only on the similarities just so they can prove the rest wrong and "win" the argument. People as a whole dislike being wrong, love being agree'd with, and want their likes/dislikes/feelings/thoughts to be validated by others. Sometimes I even sometimes feel the need to say SOMETHING about a topic I have an opinion on because sometime sit feels like, if i dont actually put my idea/thought/feelings out there then it feels like I never had them in the first place.

[@CtisGaming]

Everyone understands that aligned plots and elements don't make two series equal. The problem is that doesn't actually answer the question of "why do you like Log Horizon and not Overlord?". It's basically asking for the same type of video explaination that Digi first did to introduce how Log Horizon handled its subject matter better than SAO and receiving the answer "I have a lot of other reasons" instead. It's unsatisfactory, is nebulous, and a long form way of not actually answering the question.

[@shino4242]

But at the end of the day, it doesn't matter if he did or didn't go into detail because the shows ARE different and simply have a similar premise/genre. So I don't see why it's so baffling he could like one and not the other in the first place. Essentially, I don't undersatnd why the question was needed in the first place.

[@better8655]

Log Horizon, and Overlord treat their situations differently. One actively tries to get away from the MMO rules, and change them. The other keeps with the MMORPG rules, and even uses JRPG mechanics. I personally love both series for different reasons. I'm intrigued by the way the world works in Overlord, and enjoy the learning about the game mechanics within. Log Horizon is more character driven, and I have more interest in what their motivations are going to do to the world, rather than the world itself.

[@smiley4995]

Better I also love how in Overlord he's not trying to escape, he's just like "Oh this is cool.". I need to check out Log Horizon still.

[@stevemanart]

Log Horizon is a story about characters stuck in a game world, trying to live long enough to get out. Overlord is about an online god who finds himself physically transported into a game world that he now plans on making his bitch. Literally the only thing they have in common is the "in a game world". Personally I love Overlord, and kinda like Log Horizon.

[@LordO-thPalace]

5:27 we love to see you point out the differences. and why love one and not care about the other, even if it take hours

[@fdthqwerty]

Digi really needed to talk about AI City after he found it on the sakugaboorulette.

[@AntiNihilist]

Overlord=action show Log Horizon=mystery/political intrigue/semi-moe-slice-of-life "Same kind of show"... I like them both, but I have to question if they paid attention when they watched the 2 shows

[@DS-ph9je]

he said they have the same setting hence "same kind of show". both being stuck in an mmo and that the protagonist is really good at what they are doing.

[@benck7160]

No.

[@mariokarter13]

Similar premises are like French Revolutionaries. It's all about the execution.

[@NSRBladeRunner]

Overlord doesn't has a story, just a collection of cool scenes loosely stitched together by a handful of plot points.

[@sigilbreaker2628]

Agreed, I have no idea how someone can say that "[Overlord]... ...at least it had a story and characters" when comparing to LH. While I have fallen a bit out of love with LH in terms of characters its miles better than Overlord. The only interesting thing about anyone in Overlord is their designs.

[@trygveplaustrum4634]

You know, Digibro, you could have just said, "You have shit tastes. That's okay, you little plebe."

[@amirbutcher2147]

Art is subjective, but taste is a blood sport.

[@mairamoztasa4202]

We are the pleeb and he is the weeb.

[@fdthqwerty]

“The best reviews are entirely subjective, but that doesn’t mean you throw objectivity out the window. You have to build your case with honest statements that even someone who disagrees with you could relate to.” (Jason “videogamedunkey” Gastrow, July 8, 2017)

[@CaseNumber00]

I was kinda thinking that too. I like Overlord but its still somewhat trashy, SAO trashy. Its just some people just dont have the ability or knowledge to recognize bgenrlly bad or generally ood anime in terms of combined factors of story, animation, cinematography and the elements that make each one. A lot of times just experience watching media can fix that, your shit tastes, but you can go learn about through in depth study and be better.

[@Wallie33.]

CaseNumber00 Why exactly makes it trashy?

[@holaburger6075]

I loved the background of Morioh in Jojo part 4. The whole town looked unreal on purpose and the yellow sky really sold it.

[@CapnCinnamonBunVideogamemaster]

I’ve never really hated an anime before but then again I have a very wide range of interest and can get into anything as long as it’s not disturbingly gory. Edit: What I mean by disturbingly gory is when it’s going completely out of its way to make you uncomfortable. I’m fine with gore as long as it’s not just gore that’s there for the sake of being there.

[@RenxyQuad]

Same

[@redmatte-92]

You wouldn't watch Berserk?Dude,you're missing out

[@Staloborlp97]

Same, I don't hate on series, I just think that they are not for me, drop them and forget about them.

[@mariokarter13]

The worst anime I've seen was both: Pupa.

[@Axxarus]

You should watch Berserk 1997 then.

[@iglsnonsense8201]

Asterisk wars really does suck

[@sblower9410]

Are you saying this as a resent realization of yours or as something this video reminded you of?

[@iglsnonsense8201]

Nope I'm jus Saiyan

[@shino4242]

To be fair, even though the comment is just a jokey meme, its actually relevant considering one of the thing digi pointed out about asterisk wars that bothered him was how the narrative setting didn't seem to match the actual visual setting we're given since the city seems like a thriving utopia while constantly being told by main girl how fucked the city is. And this is in no small part due to the background always being bright and "happy" looking. the backgrounds make the world seem totally fine. more than fine.

[@sblower9410]

Hahonryuu I also thought the comment was sort of relevant, but I needed to ask to see if it was on purpose. Turns out IGLS Nonsense really is just nonsense. What a happy accident.

[@Azavelika]

I've come back to rewatch this video after a good two years or so and it really puts into perspective how much I've changed. Before, I could tell that log horizon and overlord were different but I still saw them as similar where as now I don't see them as remotely the same.

[@SupremeMarioGamer]

I've just about completely stopped caring about anime. I always had the feeling that the industry isn't going to change or evolve anymore and I'm tired of watching a medium that feels too afraid to take risks. I still watch a few shows each year that I can still enjoy, but I miss being into it for the first time and not knowing which show I wanted to watch first.

[@VinnyLam]

ThatCynicalOtaku The last thing I want to do is overfill my "Dropped" list on MyAnimeList.

[@Dylankiwi1]

Mahoutsukai no Yome is the only thing worthwhile watching this season that's, not a sequel ... I heard about Inuyashiki but i idk.

[@slowmoe1686]

My favorite anime are all from the 90s. There are new anime I like every so often, but not every season. I guess I'm more an 'old anime fan' than an 'anime fan' at this point, considering most of the anime I like is either almost as old as I am or older...

[@LanceSKLTR]

Twitch jojo. Watch jojo

[@jriibzmodus4792]

FireBreather Lucario I second this

[@d_wang9836]

Disliked, unsubscribed, and closed window! Didn't actually list 1 million ways

[@sblower9410]

well you didn't actually think he would title the video "just some of the ways the background of an anime can be important to you" did you? I don't think that would have worked.

[@YGOkid8]

Whoosh! On a more serious note, tbh Digibro can name his videos anything and I'd watch the fuck out of it.

[@sblower9410]

or maybe it would have worked? Who knows, why did this comment get 200 likes?

[@YGOkid8]

S Blower Because OP made a joke and people liked it.

[@Mewseeker]

It was nice knowing you. :)

[@AlternativeIce]

_"And I could break down story and characters like this for the rest of my life."_ *YES PLEASE.*

[@Elkaki111]

When you mention Made in Abyss I feel how my heart cries.

[@keenanmccarty9925]

I feel like this is a definitive digibro video. One of the biggest ideas that I feel emanates from many of your videos.

[@deidara9996]

in all honesty, I'd personally would love to see a side by side comparison of the two shows, because I simply love both of them, but just like the video points out, for different reasons.

[@drakeford3238]

Archangel Gabriel I just posted about this in another thread, but it really is an interesting comparison. When you get down to it, almost every single creative decision between these two shows in narrative, style, character design, presentation, and everything else are polar opposites, almost as if they were mirrored images. Despite often being shoehorned together in public opinion, they both aim for different goals, and I think they both achieve these goals with relative success.

[@metaalloy2131]

I enjoy listening to your voice and your analysis of anime. Really man, you do fantastic work. Like reading a thesis paper w a topic i know I'll always like.

[@DanteIsAlone]

omg thank you for the text version in the description. tried to make out the title of the movie shown at 01:06 but all I understood was angel. for anyone else wondering: it's angel's egg

[@fdthqwerty]

I totally understand the background debate because I've always been very partial to painted backgrounds, although they are frequently cited as not blending well with the characters (such as in this very video). I don't necessarily mind the combination of artstyles, nor do I think they have to blend well together, as long as they feel appropriate for what the show is trying to accomplish individually. Hai to Gensou no Grimgar had relatively sparse character animation, but made up for it in stellar watercolor scenery of the town and goblin hideout (which themselves look like actual locations with layouts rather than individual floors) and a folksy acoustic guitar BGM created entirely by (K)NoW_NAME, the same band who would later go on to create all the tracks of Sakura Quest. Granted, I am a complete sucker for folk songs on string instruments, (Children of the Whales is killing it this season), but Grimgar's individual aspects work well with the show's overall appeal, and I consider the character animation to be its worst aspect anyways.

[@illdie314]

I love hearing you talk about how much you love log horizon. I loved every second of it, and that show is what really got me seriously interested in anime, so at first it was so discouraging to see that people seem to be so prone to trashing it (especially season 2, which i still equally loved).

[@FabisSpielecke]

Thats actually a really good video, which describes the thing so many people don‘t understand and which they keep asking about. Speaking for me, I don‘t really have a concrete preference, when it comes to a genre I like to watch. I don‘t decide like:“oh this anime is a SoL, so I have to like it, because I‘ve watched a similar anime recently“. And many people ask me, why I don‘t like the similar anime, so I should show this video to all of them so they understand my thoughts. Thanks for this great video :D

[@Hacker_lyx]

This is probably the most effective way you've sold me on anime, talking about the background art. It just tells you so much about the show.

[@dannykazari]

Love what you love and hate what you love. That is the way of life. And hate what you hate. And love what you hate.

[@Linck192]

and late what you hove

[@sblower9410]

what do I do when I'm neutral?

[@gabrielwright-dunn9355]

S Blower, I'd love to give you an long, thought-out answer, but I'm too indifferent to actually care. Do whatever you feel like.

[@berniesorbet3649]

I kinda felt like this video is targeted towards new viewers, rather than people who had already consumed extensive amounts of digi's context. It felt like most of it are just reiterations of what was said in past videos. Still good though

[@NoNameAtAll2]

Reiteration is the way to victory

[@andrewkemper7304]

I'd love to see more videos like this, where you go over a single aspect of a lot of anime quickly to talk about differences in small details.

[@YakoffShmirnoff]

Great vid Digi! This is the sort of analytical poignancy that I love supporting you for.

[@BluSprinks]

I am truly amazed at how Digi has the ability to keep his scripts both dense and concise. The video was only 6 mintues but I felt as if it was double that length!

[@LimeyLassen]

Every time I tell someone I dropped Gurren Lagann they look at me like I'm a lunatic. I've never finished a Trigger show, and I"m not sure why. I just feel detached. Meanwhile I've dutifully finished shit like Chobits and Rozen Maiden, knowing full well they're mediocre. I dunno man, the heart wants what it wants.

[@UnNormieCualquiera]

A great video again Digi. I would love to hear your opinion on how the structure of the narrative and how it's used affect your imppresion of an anime, or talking about pacing and how 2 shows of similar genre and plot concept can drastically change because of it.

[@kueller917]

I just started watching, but that transition from the the Gatchaman to Sakamoto OPs at 0:26 was really smooth.

[@JanizMakudomaru]

Of all the things to make a video on you made the right one for me. Nothing gets me feeling good than a background I like and especially things of interest in the background, some pics in my folder can show that. Nothing turns me off more than a lifeless, nothing going on room that says nothing about the people in it or who made the room. When I'm watching subbed anime, it is the worst because then I am just looking at words pop in and out and lips flapping.

[@dchousoseiso]

Digi said that Shin Sekai Yori has interesting narrative conceits. THERE IS HOPE.

[@chrischg1197]

DIGIBRO DAM IT!!!! Now I want you to explain your thoughts on Overlord!!!

[@TheComiKen]

Man, if there's anything I want to really focus on in my art, it's worlds you can really be immersed in. I've never seen GITS: Innocence, but that Hong Kong Scene is definitely my aesthetic! I love huge spaces like that, as can also be found in the Blame! manga. Then there's Made in Abyss, which I love because it reminds me of a video game like Sonic or Cave Story. I found the pinnacle of my taste in the backgrounds of this anime short called Dimension Bomb by Koji Morimoto. Like NOTHING I've ever seen before, ever. I want to put more of that in anime one day.

[@iquemedia]

Is this why I love (and hate) hentai?

[@saeedbaig4249]

U watch for the background?

[@elie2133]

Saeed Baig wel yea, huh how can you enjoy hentai without good background it makes it so unrealistic.

[@JohnDarkSouls00]

I had the same experience. I liked one anime (Toradora) and felt meh about another (Just Because! from this season) and wasn't sure why. Both stories are high school romance dramas, but the main characters of JB! are generally well adjusted kids who seem relatively normal and have relatively middle of the line concerns (moving schools, romance, clubs, what to do after college, etc). Toradora on the other hand features two extremely maladjusted kids with Ryuchi and Taiga. Their main concern is learning how to connect with and get along better with their classmates, as well as learn to connect with their crushes. It's something more obvious than background art, but the same concept of "shows that fit into the same overarching genre aren't necessarily similar" fits.

[@armany1999]

Wow. Shinsekai Yori's background art might just be my favourite and one of the main reasons for my enjoyment of the show.

[@Zesprit15]

Something I’ve come to do when discussing a show with someone, particularly when it’s a show that I disliked, is ask them what they liked about it rather than explain what I disliked, and your video here is great for why. There are so many little things that some people don’t even think about in a show that can explain why tastes can differ so massively.

[@z106spottt]

Your first video that makes sense congrats

[@JoJoTalksTooMuch]

Really solid work Digi~

[@ChickenCast100]

Why am i watching this at this hour?

[@sblower9410]

I do not have an answer for you. The reason I am commenting this is because I don't think anyone has a reply for that. It's not my job to tell you to go to bed. I have been there though.

[@SEANdelJURASSIC]

I can't believe you were even asked that question.

[@pavelmeyer9197]

Just thought this was a 1M sub special, slightly disappointed you deserve the 1M

[@CornishCreamtea07]

1:40 I have trouble remembering that name, so I've always called it Countryside Robot Cafe.

[@nathanielshawtheoverclocke7045]

2:53. And with that note, my own anime critiquing prowess grows. Thank You Digibro!!! 5:47. Dude, I am pretty sure youtube passed that point sometime back in 2008.

[@sblower9410]

You should add this video to your Essential Digibro

[@superexplosive]

I feel like this should've been called: Ways To Love (And Hate) Anime - PART 1: Background Design

[@jhonon1]

Having not watched Overlord, but very much loving Log Horizon, a video on the contrasts would not go amiss. Additionally, would you say getting Anime Strike is worth it for the few shows like Made in Abyss?

[@Artichoke0001]

Try overlord or better yet, the novel. Really good LN, anime leaves a lot out

[@hermesrodrigues5980]

Anime strike is only worth it if you already have prime

[@jhonon1]

I will have to consider it then, but having Prime is SO GOOD (for a household, single/solo-living is different) that it it's surprising to me people consider the cost of Prime WITH Anime Strike, rather than separate. Cause most functioning households (in America) already have Prime. Other services (Netflix, Crunchyroll) thus cost slightly more, offset with how very much they offer. But if the only good thing they have is MiA it's not worthwhile.

[@zoggere4226]

As for made in abyss i have two words for you, Pirate It. You don’t need to waste your money supporting shitty business practices. Stream it on kiss anime or download it from pirate bay.

[@jhonon1]

It was Digi stating his dislike of Overlord in spite of the similarities to beloved LH that made me ask. I get that a lot of small details in character/plot/execution can totally change an anime from the superficial similarities. Alas, I don't have to time to go try an anime which has a negative connotation (from someone who's recommendation/taste I trust, but don't blindly follow) without a compelling comparison on why I Might like it. I was about to bring out my personal taste on not dealing with Manga, time/cost comparison, when I realized you said LN. That's much more up my alley, and like all good novel to visual conversions there is stuff that gets left behind. It really irked me that Kizumonogatari didn't showcase Arraragi's internal monologue nearly as well as the series did. Thanks for the recommendation, I'll look at getting ahold of the LN

[@aquaka]

In the last 8 years or so I have ran into the problem of getting frustrated when recommending anime to friends. I have been watching anime since the 80s and have always been the "anime guy" to my friends, but lately I have been realizing I watch media for different reasons that most if not all my social circles do. They watch media to relax, be entertained, or "turn their brain off". While I watch media to get something out of it, maybe strong feelings, maybe make me ponder for a time, or some of them, change my life and the way I see and think of things. This has lead to people around me being drawn to shows I consider less appealing , SAO, Akame ga Kill, Re:Zero, all the FATEs, etc , while I am pushing towards things I consider awesome such as Anything Trigger, slow burns like Monster, Rakugo, comedies like Konosuba or even shonen like My Hero aca, as opposed to their new favorite show Black Clover... ughhh. I feel 10 years ago I used to be able to recommend anime fairly accurately because back then anime that had substance was also entertaining and vice versa, so both audiences could merge. Not saying that shows with substance today are not entertaining, they for sure are. But we have a sea of ONLY flashy and entertaining anime that has allowed for numbing down of the audience from seeking something with a little more depth.

[@0nearmedbandit]

i completely understand your tastes digi. they make sense to me cuz they are a slight variation on my own

[@Mixed.messages]

Fuck I loved this commentary and the visuals were soo nice

[@MaxiusTheGod]

The Overlord LN is the only LN I'd ever consider good.

[@feliciaf8]

same lol

[@kanto151]

>the spice and wolf novel isn't good Have your (you) and leave

[@Artichoke0001]

I want to know the actual reason as to why you don't like overlord.

[@Heatranoveryou]

All of the characters just wanna suck the MCs dick and have no personalities. He talked about it in a video somewhere.

[@markomarkovic5527]

Overlord is just depressing, which i think is the point. The main guy can have all the chick and power but its all meaningless since he is stuck in MMO world with a skeleton body. He is all alone in his misery.

[@NoNameAtAll2]

OP character in a world of lvl 1 npc

[@lincolnbeckett8791]

Heatranoveryou Its for those reasons why I hated that show.

[@Artichoke0001]

What I liked about the Ln of overlord is because it was more indepth about how the mc is a paranoid fuck. Also the mc considers the npcs to be the children of his friends. Also their expectations of him being the perfect being is interesting as the mc fucks up a lot, he's very afraid of them betraying him if he doesn't keep up w/ their expectations.

[@SharpieLEET]

>TALKS ABOUT BACKGROUNDS >DOESNT TALK ABOUT MONOGATARI gr8 vid tho

[@felixlagemann3563]

I guess when talking about background I should mention Grimgar of Fantasy and Ash. The background studio did an amazing job there in my opinion to basically set the theme and reflect the characters and their mood. There is so much meaning behind the background colours etc

[@golgarisoul]

I'll be waiting for those hour long videos.

[@d_wang9836]

Digibro first looks for lolis to see if he'll enjoy the anime

[@NykowPalalum]

I know this is a joke, but most of his favourite anime don't include lolis.

[@d_wang9836]

NykowPalalum Invisible lolis

[@evoke1631]

the best kind

[@renaiya1666]

Everyone does just that. It's the undeniable truth of the world.

[@ErraticMagics]

NykowPalalum Half of his favorite series listed on MAL have lolis. It seems mostly coincidental though. Azusa Biscuit Ponyo Nia Akatsuki

[@Loland_The_Cracked_Silence]

Overlord was my jam I cried when it was only 12 episodes

[@TheRainSnake]

"Aesthetic is Narrative" -Digibro

[@julesroy3469]

This discussion about backgrounds makes me think about Over the Garden Wall, since it's simplistic characters contrasts the painted storybook present in its backgrounds....

[@Mir_Teiwaz]

I feel like the people who don't understand how you could like Log Horizon while not liking Overlord haven't actually watched either of them. Overlord, at least what has been shown in the anime, is about a single high level player who was transported into a world that is very similar to the game he was playing-at least to the extent that all his magic, skills, and items still work. It has very little to do with politics, especially the politics involving a massive group of immortal players who have to figure out how to get along with each other and the neighboring kingdoms at least until they figure out how to leave...and that's assuming they'll still *want* to leave by the time they figure that out. I like Overlord, but I like it for very different reasons than I do Log Horizon.

[@ianmaluk1]

The Overlord Anime was so middling in compariso to the source material, it was an inadequate adaptation for the scope of Overlord's story. The anticipation I had for the Anime just crashed into tragic dissapointment, as I realized how much development they just haphazardly skipped.

[@papercat2599]

ianmaluk1 yeah exactly

[@feliciaf8]

exactly

[@smiley4995]

Never read the light novel, so I didn't really have that reaction.

[@gabrielwright-dunn9355]

Why do I feel like that somewhere there is a board of literary professors talking about the exact same thing, but with bigger words?

[@MidniteZer0]

Really well said, good stuff Digibro!

[@TheSoxfan815]

I'd argue that having good backgrounds don't mean shit for shows that can make up for it with there strong narratives and characters. You know, something like Shin Sekai Yori.

[@Jenohart]

Overlord is my favorite animu franchise BUT the anime and manga adaptations really don't do it justice. They cut out a lot and make it more about the action. The original LN is really, really tactical with huge paragraphs of tactical planning and exploring the lore, etc. I was just talking with a friend about how a scene was butchered in the manga because it was about subtle actions during a meeting hugely affecting the mood and tension of the room which doesn't work at all when the main character of the scene is a bug man that can't display any emotion: in the LN the scene is from his point of view so you can see how he's feeling. At the start the bug man is so nervous he like twitches slightly when he kneels and that makes everyone shoot daggers at him, they couldn't portray that with any clarity in the manga. I just wanted to say that because I'm crazy about the series. I really like it but I can't blame anyone who doesn't like the anime because B O Y the LN is hard to adapt without destroying the pacing.

[@papercat2599]

Jenohart yeah my thoughts exactly

[@feliciaf8]

you mean LN? also couldn't agree more for the pacing

[@kylescott2235]

digi needs to make a 15 part series about the different aspects of log H and overlord

[@sk3tchyguy]

Please do an multi hour long series on the differences between Log Horizon and Overloard pls

[@RichformO4]

all I look for is the story if the show makes me laugh yet have enough action keep me hooked

[@sulpx]

It's a shame that you couldn't watch Shinsekai Yori because of its esthetic. It has its own atmosphere i guess. :/ I hope you will give it a try one day, maybe... ^^

[@dynamicmissile7273]

please post an hour long video breaking down character design like this.

[@lemonadesquid]

S/O to me giving digi the log horizon overlord comparison idea

[@atomicmokka599]

Can we get more short videos like this about different aspects broken down? such as the character deigns or voice acting?

[@zomfgroflmao1337]

Congrats Digi, another video were you managed to evade the elephant in the room completely (namely Shaft).

[@jnes3736]

Now that I have gotten the factors of makes a show enjoyable, I would need to remember to search for them when I’m enjoying a show and want to know why I am enjoying that show.

[@maironster]

Digis just flexin' at this point.

[@89ji76]

I wouldn't mind seeing an after dark rant vid about the differences between Log Horizon and Overlord. Preferably inebriated.

[@magog515]

This video deserved better than it got in views

[@nu1x]

Digibro - a public plea. I noticed that Musekinin Kanchou Tyolor is listed as 3 eps in, and also Great Teacher Onizuka is listed at 24 eps in. Please, consider watching to completion especially Tylor. That anime is so different, and may be a classic example of an anime that gets better the more you progress. At first it doesn't look at all special. When you finish it, you'll be a different person. It is something totally unexpected and NOT FOUND outright in the medium, packaged in the form of quirky space anime. To say that Tylor is underrated would be the dictionary definition of the word underrated. Thank you if you read this.

[@Sachnix]

Digibro explaining the concept of personal taste, No. 259

[@jlScoot]

Someday I wish he would put those words down. Some people like shallow concepts much more than others.

Holy Shit the timing on this video is just too good. Tomorrow I have to tell my friend why I don't like 'A silent voice' even though I like other animes in that genre with similar story lines.

Grimgar has Paint backgrounds

That moment when for a moment you think he forgot about the point of the video and just wanted to talk about backgrounds for a few minutes. I do really agree with the point of the video though, there are a lot of small things that go into basically all pieces of art, and hyper-focusing on one thing that makes a big difference just to make the point wasn't a bad idea at all, even if it wasn't hyper-effective.

Speaking of backgrounds and how people can like a series for its background, I absolutely loved Grimgar's backgrounds, it's a real shame that the studio that did those backgrounds went bankrupt

The title implies that we'll be getting 2817 reasons per second.

I've just discovered the wordplay of "Psycho Pass" after hearing it a million times. I'm so goddamn dumb...

[@SquidwardAF]

For me background art is nowhere near the most important thing to like or dislike about an anime. So your message in the video kinda missed although I got it and agree with it. Maybe do directing next?

[@notoriouswhitemoth]

@Digibro I love that you're constantly trying to justify your opinions, and I use your videos as a paragon of self-awareness. Keep being awesome!

[@Gibbysaurio]

Will you ever break down what makes good things in anime good and bad things bad? I've always been interested in your thoughtprocess or what you compare, say, the background art to be able to tell if it's good or bad.

Wasn't there a "Backgrounds Playlist" ? Poor thing: died before his second child was born.

So when are we going to get that hour-long analysis of character designs in anime?

[@needscreen]

I've been having gripes with the issue of people asking me what genres I'm into. I don't consume more of one genre than another, and have works I enjoy in all of them. This seems to confuse people a lot though. I had a teacher get confused when I told them I didn't like Steven King because I liked Lovecraft. They had assumed I liked all horror, when I really just liked the aesthetic choices of lovecraft. I don't care about concepts as much as I enjoy how concepts are carried out. I've thought about that a lot so this video really resonated with me. I have a lot more to say on the topic so maybe soon I'll make my own video on it.

I always had the idea that people *preferred* and that was the end of the story. Until I started using the internet properly and looked into "fandoms" and enthusiasts. I also got familiar with the concept of HATE.

[@Kezedrix]

"...more content that you can possibly consume." If only...

Just name the video "1 Million Ways To Love (And Hate) Anime (It's All About The Background Art)"
