Re:CREATORS - Aaox's Anime Review

Aaox experiences the terrifying thought experiment that asks what he'd do if his anime girl came to life and judged him for all of the awful, awful things he's done.
¶
Re:CREATORS is really at its heart more a show about the struggles of creating content in a crowded medium than it is about cool fantasy characters having a big battle royale, and that initially hit me as sort of off, but that ended up resonating with me quite substantially.
What really struck me about it was how polished the whole experience felt. There are definitely a lot of problems with it - the cast is larger than the show probably needed, the narrative feels a bit cobbled together, and it felt like there was way too much of the Creators talking about their feelings when I wanted the Creations to show their stuff instead and a lot more problems besides, but I still came out of it feeling extremely satisfied with the experience.
Also, it concluded with finality and it concluded well, and that's something that not a lot of anime can really attest to. Also, Meteora is one of the most wonderful characters I've ever seen.
Up next: Made in Abyss.

I want an anime where Aaox’ big dumb beautiful face is the main protagonist

[@bilbeman4125]

Just his face, of course. The whole body would be disconcerting.

[@romainvicta.]

Isaac Blouin Y-Yes

[@lovingfool2060]

It certainly isn't the next classic, but it certainly is pretty good for what it is. Great video as always, keep it up.

[@Aaox]

Exactly; it's a fine show if you don't come at it expecting The Next Big Thing because it's very much not that but I think it's definitely the best show Troyca's made and it entertained me enough to like it pretty much the whole way through.

[@romainvicta.]

I actually really liked the Bone lady anime. SPECIALLY THE BONE LADY SHE REALLY TICKLED MY BONE IF YA KNOW WHAT I’M SAYIN’ WOOOP WOOOP

[@Aaox]

DAMN A BONER JOKE I CAN'T BELIEVE I DIDN'T CATCH THAT ONE

[@romainvicta.]

Aaox I AM VERRY CLASSY

[@Legomaster-nj4oo]

Dem bones ☠️💀☠️

[@Arhke]

Another great video, as always. I love you in the most heterosexual way possible, Aaox.

[@Aaox]

[@vincentdeluca4485]

This is a good example of a show who's MC isn't the center of attention, in fact, he says at the very start he was pretty much a spectator, just an on looker at whats happening

[@Furutaka-er7yu]

GASP. I either saw my old art for moment or I'm going crazy, but seriously, loving the videos as usual!

[@WinnerPOV]

Never clicked faster in my life

[@Legomaster-nj4oo]

So al noa is basically a way worse gundam 🤔 At least the music’s good

[@Dirdle]

It felt weirdly literary for a Crossover Battle Royale show. "Oh, this character arc represents death-of-the-author in a very literal fashion" kind of thing. Great analysis of a great show!

[@WormyMaster]

Why did Meteora have to be called 'Meteora Österreich'? That's like calling that weird Cowboy guy 'Sander USA' or the angry blonde berserk woman 'Annika Deutschland' ...

[@Legomaster-nj4oo]

Well her last name would have been Übersreik but that would get them in Trouble with games Workshop

[@fronttide]

long time ago, when we still live in tribe, people in certain village is named after their location where they live

[@Desyx14]

"Play me out Sawano"

[@jholt8518]

Imagine if troyca have actually managed to secure a crossover, and they actually bring in Guts and have him go through the plot points and development like Alice; and then bring in saber and shiro instead of selesia and her serie's MC... etc I could go on, but this show could have redefined the whole anime genre like marvel redefined superhero movies!!!

[@Legomaster-nj4oo]

It’s still the best crossover anime since the Diacon IV “OVA/what’s it” Even if they didn’t have copyrighted characters in it. Besides the whole copyright safe crossover stile means less leagal hoops To jump through and that means it has better chances of being remade than The old Diacon IV vid and Re:CREATORS could benefit heavily from a few Re Wright’s

[@infernocop1009]

all thumbs up, no thumbs down. You may not be popular (yet) Aaox, but you're good at your job.

[@dristonmanickum3029]

I'm so happy I found your youtube channel it's bloody great!

[@Aaox]

I'm happy you found it also!

[@romainvicta.]

7:25 MAHOU SHOUJO OH GOD THERE’S SO MUCH BLOOD

[@Minglesmoot]

So this means that I can start watching and reading things with the word 'Re:' in the title again?

[@TheRibbonRed]

Angst no.

[@TheRibbonRed]

Angst no.

[@spliffy98]

Thank you for reviewing this!

[@Aaox]

You're welcome! Figured I might try my hand at reviewing something that's just finished as opposed to shows that've been over for at least a year.

[@Legomaster-nj4oo]

If you have time please do a Killing bites review

[@MrMedu7]

Your Review-Style is really amazing!!

[@Aaox]

Thank you; glad you like it!

[@rustkarl]

Magane is my favourite villain for this show. And probably one of my favourite characters. Those thigh-highs are gorgeous. But that aside from that I have a massive like for the fickle trolling neutral character. Altair was a walking big blue ballsack of unresolved and undeserved moments.

[@mathidra]

You earned a subscriber P.S. R.I.P. Best girl Mamica ;-;

[@romainvicta.]

3:05 HE’S ALSO A WANNABE LN PROTAGONIST HEEEEY UP TOP

[@flukeysenpai3176]

long time since his last video, but the narrating was very satisfying!!!

[@richardsavings6690]

1:26 What is this? It makes my ears happy!

[@richardsavings6690]

Got it! It's MKAlieZ from Aldnoah Zero, if anyone else is curious.

[@Legomaster-nj4oo]

Thank you 😊

[@cesarin3ce]

AAOX i work at a movie theatre and every so often people book entire sections for a private showing. I am not joimg when i say this but i would book an entire theatre just to binge watch all of your reviews...and maybe fearquest

[@Aaox]

That's very kind of you to say! Thank you. Who even watches FearQuest though am I right

[@baylego]

OH BOI! IT´S EARLY XMAS BOIS!

[@bilbeman4125]

Very good, Aaox. Now resume our regularly scheduled lack of content, if you please.

[@chiidybang370]

Yeah Sawano uses this 1 big DROP in most of his anime works, BUT he has so much different stiles....7DS sounds totally different from his other works. AoT has one of the best OSTs i have ever heard. His real TV music, especially his Drama-SHow music is beautiful, his radio music with his group of singers, electro music,... For me one of the best, if not the best composer for pictured entertainment ever.

[@Legomaster-nj4oo]

It’s also perfect for making a music medley,🎼🎶🎵 😍 Or a mashup

[@Shalleaux]

Don't really understood the hate for this show. Just finished it and I thought it was very good and compelling for the most part

[@zenon351]

Who is that girl in at 4:26 ? The white haired one who you are referring to. (Not Altair)

[@Aaox]

She's my one. One of those OCs people talk so much about.

[@w.thomas1526]

I'ma check this out. I've seen an asston of fanart, so I was already curious, but this clenched it.

[@Aaox]

Hopefully you ended up enjoying it! That's always the cointoss with these is that I might be pointing people at shows they might not like but hey that's how it is

[@Legomaster-nj4oo]

So this is like re animated or level up except that unlike those other two it’s actually good. and plus it’s actually animated

[@Zeon081]

btw the music in the end of this video IS NOT LOUD ENOUGH!

[@magallanthepenguin9132]

if i were in that show, i would make meteora or make another character that can go back in time or someone smart enough to build a time machine to prevent altair from being created P_P

[@arpitjain2591]

That was amazing

[@BlackHand531]

Great video, you just earned a new sub! But I think you're still selling this show short

[@yamatsukami987]

Cute Meteora > Sexy Meteora. Also i'm pretty sure Magane was hinting at something when she pulled his face into her crotch. I can't believe he didn't even go for it after she basically saved the world in his name. Seriously though, I think this is a valid use of clichés, you can't really properly flesh out that many diverse characters while keeping up with the convoluted plot. I do have to say, Meteora did kind of feel like a walking plot device, making claims with basically no evidence about a world she did not know existed a day ago. The other big problem i had is with the ending. warning: Theory time It didn't really sit right with me that that their was basically no difference in the end depending on who died or not. I mean if the story can branch out to revive a character, then unless the author made the secret real life events cannon, they go back to how they were where the story left off. So it follows the version that "went back" to their worlds must lose their memories or be replaced by their branched self that never left. that is the only thing i could figure with the rules we have. So while it is just based on extrapolation, the last episode just kind of felt like Meteora letting the creations off themselves. The ending also felt kind of "lonely" to me. I mean I just got the impression that they all more or less went there own ways after saving the world, and Souta even implies he hasn't seen Meteora in a while. Not to mention Magane is not even mentioned, noone cared, noone even considered that his might happen again. TL;DR: I was terribly confused and disappointed by the end. Good music, good idea, good design(s), but garbage pacing, easy to break world rules, and giant unanswered questions made it go to waste.

[@sephyrias883]

My biggest issue with the show was the cheap ending. I found the villain to behave very "unnatural", as if they decided that ending the show was more important than the villain's number 1 motivation. Well, that and moments of bad writing in general. I would still recommend it though, there is enough good writing to make up for it.

[@SmokingSumSoup]

Anime Who Framed Roger Rabbit, with a bit of Digimon Tamer's mutually assured destruction subplot. I'll take a bite at it.

[@Legomaster-nj4oo]

No it’s more like a copyright safe anime edition of “The ultimate showdown of ultimate destiny” The vocaliod comisare “chick” is basically Chuck Norris an Mussolini. Meteora is basically Both Gandalf the Grey in her base form and Gandalf the White in her other Form.. Alice terrier is Guts who is essentially the Black Knight all we need for The full package would be the Blue Meanie Cowboy Curtis Jambi the Genie Robocop the terminator Captain Kirk Darth Vader Low Pan Superman every single Power Ranger Bill S. Preston Theodore Logan Spock the Rock Doc Oct and Hulk Hogan! Then again it might wind up feeling to much like fate or something

[@Zeon081]

let me guess before I started watching it. the plot twist is that events are actually a story MC rights.

[@Martairr]

No the plot twist is that is won't do the overused third wall break i guess except for the recap episode but that doesn't count

[@damule]

Loved the video! The music was a bit loud though.

[@Aaox]

Damn, I've been trying to find that happy medium with every new video and usually the complaint is that the music's too quiet so I made it a bit louder than it would've been normally this time. Guess that didn't play out well. Glad you liked the video otherwise, though!

[@SodaPopBot]

Aaox Hiraaoxi Sawano

[@succulent3309]

Beautiful

[@marylebone9357]

Thank you for this review, I can now sound slightly more intelligent to my friends by quoting your opinion verbatim in attempt to claw at some form of social acceptance. As I believe the kids would say, "keep grinding on dat hustle boi".

[@Aaox]

Soon I'll have everyone making bad analogies; the hustle's being ground like you wouldn't believe

[@thee2724]

Mika Kobayashi wasn't in the soundtrack though

[@Legomaster-nj4oo]

ya she was in dragon maid, I think 🤔

[@richardsavings6690]

3:56 what's the song from here on?

[@Aaox]

That's the instrumental version of 'God of Ink' from the Re:Creators Soundtrack.

[@Legomaster-nj4oo]

Give me the link

[@richardsavings6690]

This video makes me want to watch this show every time I watch, but to this day, still no English dub.

[@aarlavaan]

its worth it, even without the dub.

[@SaraBethCox]

I agree, I love Meteora! But I thought the show was excellent, though with a few quirks

[@xenosnake]

Have ye seen Thunderbolt Fantasy? Didnt Suwano worked on that too?

[@Legomaster-nj4oo]

Is that the one that’s like thunder birds or something

[@MizMizuki524]

ive never heard of this show but i am SUPER into despicable shark tooth thigh highs girl

[@misukiylambertson2764]

She's definitely well written as far as yandre go.

[@fabbbe]

ANOTHER VIDEO, WHAT IS THIS? A REGULAR UPLOAD SCHEDULE?!

[@silverpuma6081]

Hey Aaox do you think you will ever do a review on Oregairu?

[@Aaox]

I've actually been meaning to for literally years, but I know I'd need to rewatch it at this point and it's not where attention is currently, but yeah, it's definitely something that'll happen eventually. Just perhaps not in the immediate future. If a season 3 airs, definitely as soon as that finishes.

[@silverpuma6081]

Aaox that is a bit discouraging but it's fine I'll wait until you get the chance to make a review. Love your videos btw

[@BladeJaxx]

True facts

[@powneriffic]

I SAY AYAEEEEEEEEEEAYEEEEEEEEEEEE

[@richardsavings6690]

[@golgarisoul]

This tastes like Demo. I like it!

[@francos.7598]

Ending song?

[@richardsavings6690]

Fareasy S. Al Lu from the recreators soundtrack

[@conradverser3302]

Have you considered a side gig as a freelance narrator?

[@mark33850]

Question...What's the anime at 0:27..for research purposes.

[@Aaox]

That's Hajimete no Gal.

[@Martairr]

Aaox back at it again answering the important questions

[@raitoiro]

Magane best girl It's shame she doesn’t got more time. Otherwise good show

[@Legomaster-nj4oo]

I heard some one say that it would be hilarious if an isekia leed showed up In this show and thought he got back to his word only to find out he’s Some were else instead

[@kam1l999]

Meteora was more of MC than Souta.

[@henry3k90]

Shark tooth 😂😂

[@thebluegremlin]

what is this? who are you? why is your voice so deep? moister than an oyster

[@TheRibbonRed]

Aldnoah is shit, and Re;Creators had nothing to do with Real Robot.

[@abelesperanz4196]

YEEEESSSS RE CREATORS

[@bigdongroma539]

I rate it a dead setsuna/10 I rate it meteora exposition/10

[@helpme8993]

Great shit as usual, you deserve more subs!

[@Aaox]

Thank you! Perhaps - perhaps they'll come along some day!

[@supervamp78]

I don't know i think if they had cut out generic kun, and just has creators teaming up with their creations it would have been better.
