[@dipperdawn]

6 or 7 years ago, I was at Connor's first ever Anime Expo "meet and greet", and it was literally 10 of us outside by the bushes(I still have the VERY awkward videos). Now he has the biggest panel room and so many subscribers that it actually freaks me out a little to see how much he has grown. Like, I'm happy for him, but it's kind of like seeing the kid next door appear in a blockbuster movie with no warning. One day he had a few thousand subs, next I check he had 2 mil.

[@jona4385]

I feel what you mean ! Very interesting

[@apolloisnotashirt]

Must feel surreal, seeing someone who was just next to you suddenly appear at the stage.

[@KingchristianYT]

I still have the mindset of Connor being a small content creator that only a small community has heard of. I still can’t put into perspective how big Connor has gotten within the streaming and anime community

[@dipperdawn]

Someone from that first meetup reached out to me recently actually, and asked if I was going to go to his big panel with Mouse. That's when it hit me that I probably wouldn't even be able to get in. I went to his meetups at AE after that first one, but just 2 years later the meetups were too big for me to feel comfortable trying to get a pic with him when I already had ones from the years before. I wanted to let people have their turn. Even after seeing the increase of fans in person, it never really hit me what had happened until I saw him in big events with some of the top streamers.

When I was 14 I somehow managed to interview Connor through skype. It was for some kind of silly unimportant assigment for my Dutch class (not even English). All I know was that I had to interview someone and the first person I thought of was him lol. I really really liked his vids (back then he was in his Black Butler era). It felt sooo cool, having one of your fav *famous* KZbinrs with 10,000 subs talk to YOU about... well, I dont really remember what we talked about. But I bet I still have the recording I made ages ago. I especially remember asking him to pronounce his full name bcs it seemed so foreign to me. But can you imagine interviewing an ANIME KZbinR for a school assignment as a 14 year old who doesn't speak English that well??? My. Mind. Was. Blown. To this day I'm flabbergasted that that was even even possible. And then to see him grow like this? Absolutely insane. Again, thank you so much for letting me interview you. It was an honor, Connor (get it)

I was fortunate enough to have my voice over work be featured on one of Connor's videos a few years back. I'm not a pro, I had a Fiverr account and was just trying to make some extra cash during the pandemic. But he didn't totally razz me and gave good advice and commentary on what to do better.

Raising charity for his friend is so commendable and a show of his good character tbh, one man who deserves success on KZbin, I'm glad to have been here for his whole journy, it seems as I got older his videos evolved with me as I started watching at a young age and now I'm in my 20s, the slow changing pace of content definitely helped keep some old fans around and also made everything feel special.

What introduced me to Connor's channel were the videos about voice acting he did. I was studying translation in college at the time and one of his videos popped up on my suggestions.

On top of all the money raised with his charity events, what might be even more important is that Connor and Mouse have reached so many people and made them aware.

I personally, hardly have enough to come by each month, but luckily i have been approved to donate plasma and blood. Which i started doing after learning about and seeing the efforts made by Connor and Mouse. I feel like that also may be said aside from raising money.

To see his videos since his sebastian voice acting makes me very proud of him and makes me have some motivation as well as having no more worry about the future so a big thank you to connor for being a wonderful person and helping people in need and of course anthony for making all of this great interviews possible! :D

[@neanight222]

I started watching Connor's videos a while before he moved to Japan and I am so happy for him for having all this success and for blowing up that much! You pointed out one of the things I like most about him, Anthony, which is his open-mindedness. He never judges other people, he goes into every new adventure with an open heart and mind and is genuinely interested in the things these people he interviews or spends a day with do. He's curious, he's brave, he's silly, he's clever, he's passionate about what he does and believes in the things he does and he's an excellent interviewer. (I hope he got a Best Interviewer Shirt! :D) He takes his work seriously, but has a ton of fun while doing it and he knows he's lucky to have all that, but still knows it was not luck alone, but also his hard work. He cares so much about others, especially his friends and does so much good. Of course I don't know him personally, but that's my impression of him and I just feel like he's a genuinely nice, kind, honest and supportive person. He's giving back so much, it's amazing and inspiring. Connor, I wish you all the best and even more exciting times and bigger adventures to come! You're awesome! ❤️

I’ve been watching Connor since I was in high school and have been following Trash Taste since the beginning so this was definitely a pleasant surprise, super happy to have the Monke on here

[@lyssao.8308]

As someone who's been watching him for years, I am very. very. proud of him.

[@Jackitty31]

You two are my two favorite KZbinrs at the moment so it's awesome to see you guys together!!

[@nl781]

This was such a great interview!! Im a huge fan of conner and his content, but seeing him really go in depth about his whole career really gave me more insight on him as a person and content creator!

[@KKYSHE-pn3vm]

I remember first watching the prank call videos, then stopping watching him in between and joining again a few years back. I feel so proud of him. Honestly, I am proud of every person you interview, it feels so comforting seeing them in a better place after hardship and struggle. Every person has a story

[@raymax_1071]

I didn't expect this but I like this, two of my favorite youtubers right now.

[@AliceMadness.]

Conner is such a great guy and he's done so much for others and I also just wish him endless success.

[@makototakara7025]

I enjoyed those kinds of interviews that Anthony did so far.

[@gesummlomi2364]

The atmosphere in this channel in every interview is so comfortable ✨

[@alexandraobscura]

Yes!! The first time I watched CDAWGVA was the Ouran impressions back in 2016. However, I watched him and the rest of the Trash Taste bois during the pandemic and keep up with them from time to time as a casual viewer/fan. Thanks for collabing with him Anthony. 🤩

LETSGOOOOOOOO CONNOOOOOOOORRR!! so nice to hear person whoms content I enjoy geniunely enjoy making it and be in it too u know like when u happy that someone happy? thats what i feel TY both Anthony and Connor for putting urselves outhere and just being urselves

[@jj1reland]

Connor is my hero. I started watching him in 2015 when he first started, and his content as it evolves has gotten me through so much. I feel like I’ve grown up and changed right along with him. I know it’s sappy but I say it anywhere I can: Thank you for being You, and everything you create, Connor.

[@cori_music]

Connor got me through high school, deadass. At 15-16, I wrote fanfiction about this guy and it blew up so much that Connor found and read it, and I was so starstruck and embarrassed cause it’s so cringe! But it’s so cool to see Connor here, I adore him and all he does!

[@BillyB386]

Ain't no way dawg

[@valleyluvsU]

NO WAY‼️‼️ i had no idea this was happening and i’m now going to binge Anthony’s videos

[@FrostKing104]

Love the growth Connor has been getting, I've been a long the journey for a while and it's so cool not only to see the channel growth, but the personal growth in his actions and motivations.

[@CaspiDrako]

I'm just so proud of him. Ive been a fan of his, I think since he made his first kyoya impersonation video with whoever voiced tamaki but its been do cool watching his journey. He's so awesome and I'm glad to see how far he's come.

[@TheLoxely]

Connor really is the goat. The events and ideas he does for his live streams are next level. And the Trash Taste pod never fails to just feel like you’re with the boys having a chat. Hope he continues to succeed

[@ForeverWillIBeAPageDragon]

Connor's wearing a different shirt? No way. Honestly though, I'm so happy to see Connor on the show! I'm a fan of you both!

[@vagrint]

Great episode! Been looking forward to this one for awhile!

[@somethingaccount5278]

I love Connor so much I remember him from the beginning. I’ve watched him since the beginning. I remember watching him in late middle school while getting bullied for liking anime lol. So seeing him grow and mold his content to something he feels proud of is amazing. Im glad to still be here.
