[@53tanmayipillutla89]

Yea. It's kinda sad tho. It's like two talented wild monkeys(!?) came out of their den. Lol XD

[@bencze465]

Maybe it's about not alienating anyone. Like pop music. Cater to everyone, a little here, a little there... not sure if that's it but could be.

[@curio_sphere]

Why is it sad? They gave the music a fair try, and at least for brett it's just not his thing. Me neither tbh but I still wanted to listen before I judge^^. I definitely agree that they're super careful with what they say, but like they don't wanna be rude I imagine. It would be cool for them to make similar videos with ppl knowledgeable in other genres see if they're open to other stuff tho!

Also Umu, idk if you've kept up with ToppDogg, but the five remaining members now go by Xeno-T and they released a Japanese single earlier this year. I don't remember seeing it on your list of songs you won't react to, and I would appreciate it if you could check it out to see if it's worth reacting to. It's called "Forever": kzbin.info/www/bejne/bmrbhnqdfJqge9U Even if it's not worth reacting to, I'd just like to thank you for doing reactions of TD, ToppKlass really appreciates it :')

They are so chill and charming and charismatic. I am so glad they don't fall to the stereotype of "oh i am an intellectual and i will judge you viciously". You could tell that they were able to appreciate the craftsmanship and the love that went to these pieces even if they didn't suit their personal preferences. I could listen to them chatting and sharing opinions for hours. A true breath of fresh air in this toxic website.

[@SpikeReynolds]

"Next Episode: 2D/3D animation students review: huge list of animated music videos with no K/DA", Umu is straight up trolling us

[@jg9425]

Kda isn't really kpop though.... more like a collab

[@SpikeReynolds]

@@jg9425 Yes I get it, and if that's the reason she's avoiding it I would totally understand it. But for that exact reason is why I think it would be really interesting to see the crew react to it, it's an american production heavily inspired by kpop and in collaboration with korean artists, it would be nice to see if they spot technical differences between a normal korean production with what Riot did. Also to be fair there's been content about collaborations between west and east in the past in the channel, like her recent interview with Andreas Oberg which co-wrote several kpop hits. Also, this is a big sidenote, but I would love to see as musicians what are their opinions about "fake"/virtual bands.

[@cloudy762]

KDA doesn't make sense because its done for League of Legends, which is an online game and animation is their priority and so to judge\critique that would be slightly redundant.. Whereas for the videos she selected, they're music videos and are done by animators who's main goal is the music video in itself.

there was actually one k-pop ensemble called Vanilla Lucy, a quartet containing cello, violin, saxophone, vocal (Hyera, Jiyeon, Eunhwa and Sora)~ they debuted under Hanmaek Entertainment and Pop Up Entertainment on April 13, 2011 with the single album Flying Girls. Were pretty great and I am really sad they couldn't get popular enough to keep them active up to today x(

No mention of Henry for violinist who can play while dancing? And for the next reaction, I’m surprised you aren’t gonna show them Come Over by Dean ft Baek Yerin

[@Emeand33]

ninetailgumiho they have seen others do it before and Henry is good but I think they are better than him and therefore he would get a lot of criticism

[@53tanmayipillutla89]

I'm pretty late with the reply, but they did react to Henry so check it out. FYI, these two may look like total nerds, but they are amazing violinists. Henry may be good at classical instruments, comparing him to actual professionals is really asking too much out of a dancer, singer, etc. Let me make this clear, I like Henry a lot and I'm not disrespecting anyone.

[@excaria5949]

Twoset already reacted to them on their own channel and offered some constructive criticism. You should check it out! Just search "Twosetviolin Henry Lau" or something like that.
