Thanks for all the recommendations.

[@bagandtag4391]

[@reee0plb465]

"It'll take a few videos" -1 hour long video Fuck yeah

[@daltonriser1125]

he also said 100 per vid what else would you expect

[@polkjmsb]

well I expect 7 videos

[@PacopicooftheDuty]

YES. This is the shit I love to listen to while I work.

[@Trynottoblink]

Yeah me too. I'm a grad student who works until late in a lab and Digibro's channels + the Pro Crastinators podcasts get me through late nights.

[@Trynottoblink]

I don't have too many suggestions but when I work I typically listen to long KZbin videos related to either anime or philosophy. Philosophical Overdose and Massimo Pigliucci's channels are good sources of fairly long (30 min to 1 hour) interviews with philosophers on various topics. Kane B's channel has a bunch of long, multi-part lectures on fairly obscure topics of philosophy where he gives an overview of the topic in one video and then discusses arguments about the topic in subsequent videos. Other than that I listen to Weebcasts (especially the first impressions ones since they're usually three to five hours long), the Pro Crastinators podcast, and Digibro's longer videos. I subscribe to Spotify so when I get tired of any of the stuff above I just pick an artist and try to listen to their entire discography.

[@mybloodismadeofteaitreally4080]

Can you do a video where you talk for literally 2 days strait about nonsense? Helps me work

[@romulusnuma116]

Anime is a meme that needs to die I needs this in my life

[@LordLiquidBaconII]

Anime is a meme that needs to die I suggest Digi reading his LN backwards.

[@blazed987]

That would be great, i can imagine digi just drinking gallons of alcohol just to stay awake and becomes extremely drunk. God that would be hilarious

[@harrylawson6924]

Samuel Theofie As if alcohol makes you stay awake.

[@lemondere]

Most people haven't tried listening to the pubcrawl

[@maDwaZz]

The way you dropped Anohana is hilarious. I'll definitely try to rewatch the final scene with some Slayer over it.

[@kyokyoniizukyo7171]

maDwaZz Piano Covers I, honestly want to see a video of that...

[@foxxmonger]

ok but anohana still made me bawl my fucking eyes out

[@luckpup2766]

When I drop anime, it's almost always because it feels boring, cliche, or pointless.

[@RodroVT]

Luckpup Same

[@101Rouge]

So 90% of anime?

[@luckpup2766]

Dardargo Pretty much. Especially newer anime.

[@Trynottoblink]

Luckpup Can't blame you. I don't watch anime much anymore but it seems safe to say that 90% of any given season wouldn't be worth my attention.

[@woah5333]

You can conclude any kind of shows you don't like with those adjectives because they are broad at best.

[@CalvinChikelue]

"Brian! Clear my schedule. I've got a patently insane Digi video to watch."

[@twinGeminis69]

I like how there's a pattern of how far you got into the show, either you immediately drop it or you get bored about 5-7 episodes in.

[@romulusnuma116]

Dylan Tait did you miss his how to tell a good anime in one episode videos?

[@twinGeminis69]

no I saw it, I was just saying I enjoyed how that was reflected in practice

[@MV4got2aim]

The madman actually did it.

[@pandacat2394]

Fuck yeah, I was running out of things to listen to while I'm drawing and this is perfect, thanks dude.

[@mybloodismadeofteaitreally4080]

Great content. Keep it up!

[@lemondere]

This was a great idea for resolving a lot of "what are your thoughts" questions and it also shows off new anime for people to get into :3

[@ourboyroy9398]

lemondere hey check out these shows I didn't like enough to finish

[@Lonare1234]

Until now I didn't know I wanted this but I totally wanted it.

[@Trynottoblink]

Digi's like Steve Jobs, giving us stuff we didn't even know we wanted.

[@SparkyonPC]

I still can't believe Naoki Urasawa's Monster is 'on hold' lol. I am pretty sure when Digi finishes it, he'll have something to say about it.

[@teekayuk]

it's kinda funny bc this is uploaded on the same day I finished your 'asterisk war sucks' series, and from what I understand, the motive for that video series is similar to this one

[@NeurosiusM]

I don't drop any anime because I have no life.

[@NeurosiusM]

And i like to torture myself

[@gaylenlofton33]

Me too

[@roufdrapht]

Honestly I listen to this in the background, and it's great. Keep up gud work

[@Szadek23]

Nice, I was locking for a video to run in the background while I play video games!

[@Omegadeemen]

your Ao no Exorcist YES!!! I felt the fkin same way on every single part man. really hits home. Gonna fkin smash that like button

[@16JPE]

Digi uploading a video is my trigger

[@TheKrigeron]

I watched Bakuman then saw some panels from the manga. The mains' chara design actually changes when they grow WOW. And the drawings are just really nice to look at as well.

[@eyeoffate89]

I think that a digibros-esque video of you watching something shitty with much better music played over it could be pretty fantastic. Also props for the Star Driver reference.

[@marcomeme4875]

I'm glad you and Geoff are back at work together. 👍🏾

[@clauraus9050]

I was going to start a very prolific day but then i saw this and well..... i think today won't be that 'prolific' day

[@dankestcabin7152]

ClauD. Raus are you an artist?

[@dattebayo5829]

Digi, if there is one anime I would recommend you do give another shot is Ansatsu Kyoushitsu (Assassination Classroom), it gets GOOOOOD. The character background and development is done really well

[@SaberStash]

You did talk about Bakuman in one of your older videos, at least you mentioned the anime somewhere 100%. I have to say, I'm loving this. Takamatsu, Shinji directed Sakamoto and Daily lives of highschool boys, so you can't deny that he's a good comedy director. Sure, you can say it was the source material that made the adaptations good, but he at least knew how to handle them and keep them funny.

[@gracehopper9549]

I saw the title and i thought you meant this season. Oh boy is this gonna be a time.

[@JoeFajita]

Why'd you have to put the PiP right where the title is?

[@danbark4603]

dude youre my best choice to listen to while im working

[@Wtahc]

i dropped every anime i dropped too, what a coincidence

[@TheRibbonRed]

Baka to Test is my favorite Silver Link show, honestly. I love hyperactive comedies.

[@id658dif7oyguipb]

"Now that I'm a really big, err, alcohol guy" The word is alcoholic, Digi ;)

[@thecourrrr]

This might surpass your 250 recomm video that topped at 6 *HOURS* _making popcorn_

[@bleachbleachBLEACHER]

The only show I can remember dropping specifically because of it's art style was Unbreakable Machine Doll. For this show, I was already reading the manga, so maybe that was a contributing factor, but when the anime came out and I started watching, I felt like I needed to hold my hand over my eyes to guard from sun glare. It felt like everything was just reflecting way too much sunlight and that almost made it seem like everything was just blurry, and I could not stand it!

[@wikieditspam]

+Digibro After Dark I'm impressed you did all of this.

[@lilo19951995]

this is my morning coffee easy listening ty my man

[@PomPomegrenade]

This show is pretty great for "manga better than anime" recommendations. I really want to go read Bakuman and Arslan Senki now.

[@whensomethingcriesagain]

To be honest, Bokurano was a show that I hoped would be talked about at some point, maybe as a contrast of the approach the anime takes vs the manga and the strengths/weaknesses of both or something.

[@meccevil321]

Waaaa my OCD!! every time your facecam overlaps the anime pictures I am raging xP

[@jessesharp974]

Every time I hear an anime's name I put it on a list with an assigned number. Then when it's time to watch I roll the dice and try to watch that series. A bare minimum of three episodes. This series is going to quadruple my current list and it's all going to be stuff digi decided wasn 't worth watching. This is a dark day for me

[@TinyZu]

Oh my god, this is gonna be the best idea ever!

[@EriconatorV2]

I can't wait for part 193562245.

[@Gatchu137]

Ano Natsu de Materru actually had a crazy ending. Only getting 7 eps in, I don't think you'd know this, but it's actually the third show in its series. Its predecessors are Onegai Teacher and Onegai Twins, both of which I only know about because they were somehow some of my first anime.

[@OverAbsol410]

I envy your ability to put quickly and in just some words your thoughs about a show. I constantly struggle to the same, for example with 91 Days I just couldn't say what I thought was wrong with it even kinda knowing what it was, and then you go and say everything I can't put into words easily. Geez.

[@insanylum13]

Bungou Stray Dogs is definitely worth continuing for the first arc of the 2nd season. It's a flashback arc and it's like it's own independent story to the rest of the series. I think i've actually commented this before, but I'd say that there is some pretty good fight choreography in BSD, it actually reminds me a lot of Jojo's stands. Regardless it's not your genre and there's lots of anime to watch so I can understand why you're apprehensive.

[@happystrawberrythougths]

I know you haven't finished it, but I quietly hope you'll talk about Star Driver someday. It's my favorite anime that nobody has ever heard of.

[@tenroujaeger6172]

Hey Conrad, please finish Bartender. I watched it one episode a day and I loved it. Also, yes some of the drinks are fantasy-level but I still learned a lot about liquor and drinks.

[@OhmicFoamy]

91 Days I had the same concern with, but after going to compare with the godfather I realised it did have 2 good points from being an anime: 1) An edgy MC with Lelouch style plans where he manipulates everything to all come together in a final plan. In comparison to say, the ending of the godfather, where his plan essentially amounts to getting his guys to shoot everyone instead of not doing that. it worms a bit better from an underdog perspective that is in a lot of anime. 2) A quirky crazy antagonist for a few episodes

[@solidboss21]

this is perfect.

[@tomasroque3338]

I'm waiting for the god who decides to post the timecodes

[@jespoketheepic]

- Akatsuki no Yona is a manga i really like, but don't recommend the anime if you are not ready to continue into reading the manga, because the Anime only covers the beginning arcs, and ends right before my favorite arc. - Bokura wa Minna Kawaisou i like, but it being a manga almost too slow for me means it is way too slow for most people.

[@Vald3x]

so how soon can we expect the rest, you're not doing this all at once I hope. Thanks for this.

[@TheRibbonRed]

Welp, time for another hell in Digi's life.

[@ThePeetzerGuy]

Oh my god, you dropped Another? That shit's hilarious.

[@EuroGamer360]

There was a point in my life where I really enjoyed the Akame ga Kill! anime and while I don't care much for it anymore I at least can't get myself to hate it for most of the same reasons you stated. That said I agree its biggest failing was the fact that the animation direction wasn't very good which made it feel a lot less cool than it was going for. Personally I found that the manga to be slightly more enjoyable since it has a cooler art style akin to a twisted heavy metal album cover but even then the manga's novelty wore off when it started to force in a lot of darker elements and the story started feeling drawn out.

[@SumThingFawful]

Oh digi, black bullet picks itself up after the midpoint

[@sahinattila2754]

This is really entertaining, cool!

[@RDillonD]

yo, I'm one of those air gear fans you talked about, the manga jsut takes the serious shounen to roller skating, great pwoer pyramids, dudes flying in the air on roller skates cause they make fire come out, cool friendships, just really great shounen

[@DoomTone11]

10:12 Do you remember the "I like corm" meme? This is where that was from.

[@TheCatlover192]

How did you completely miss the "Production I.G." under Blade of the Immortal?

[@jacksonflood9344]

Just a suggestion, I would go back to finish Another. It gets better as it progresses, with more gore towards the end. It's still pretty stupid, but interesting enough to where I'm glad I saw it.

[@evangedeon2194]

7 hour-long videos? What is this, Space Battleship Yamato 2202?

[@trybal2156]

*Notices the Sad Panda Ah, I see you're a man of culture as well.

[@echizenryouma3503]

Well the first episode of Bartender is an rare exception. In many times the recipes are recreatable and it goes deep into the art of bartending. I do not know how the anime is like but i read the manga and I love it

[@juneguts]

I like how both you and Todd In The Shadows, equally for no reason, have made top (or bottom?) 1991 lists. edit: well I guess you haven't made the list YET, but you made a video about it.

[@BranchesOfYgg]

Well, my reason is that I was born in 1991

[@TheoneandonlyDrops]

This is the most interesting, well directed, nuanced and visually appealing video by Digibro yet!

[@the4thblacksnake]

Did you watch the Blue Seed OVA or the TV? Sounds like it was the trash OVA.

[@justsomejojo]

Basquash is *the* epitome of why I barely ever watch sports anime: I just don't care enough to read up on the rules. And with Basquash, I felt like I didn't understand *anything* on the account I didn't know the rules. A big shame too, since I remember loving the art style, the animation is beautiful from what I remember and the characters were pretty funny.

[@shawnmccool9546]

Hey, don't go dissing Bananya. The soundtrack was orchestrated, top of the line CGI was used, several banana-cat's died in the fruit slicer episode, and it ended with the main character escaping from being charged for war crimes. Did I make all that up? Probably, but I made a couple bad jokes with my friends about why this was the best anime ever before I watched it. After watching it I had to redefine what I consider "quality" Japanese animation.

[@ivangood7121]

Koro sensei is a living meme? YOU are a living meme!

[@illyasviel5820]

This is gonna be the best idea ever!!!!

[@redmatte-92]

Digi gets alot of shit because he drops something after an episode or two but I think his way is the best way watch anime.There is just SOOOO much out there and you have to think,do you want to waste three hours and a half of your day (about 10 episodes) just to see if you eventually like it? Let's be honest here,about 95% of Anime is total fucking garbage but it's that 5% that is worth it.It's just like digging for gold.

[@TheRibbonRed]

Or mining oil. Sometimes you get natural gas which equals a mediocre anime. Sometimes you hit the jackpot. Most times you get false positives. It's kinda the reason why there are faculties in universities studying the location of oils in the world. It's the reason why people like Digi are analyzing the anime industry. To increase chances of hitting that sweet returns. Yet unlike those non-renewable resources, you can actually influence the production of an anime. So you can, in theory, push them into making better works.

[@akou12]

Computer17Blue I agree bro. Most anime is just intended to pass the time for japanese residents I guess. All the same and lack imagination

[@Trynottoblink]

TheRibbonRed Not to mention the huge number of live-action movies and TV series that are also competing for my attention. I see no reason to stick with a series that's still mediocre or bad after three episodes when I could go watch a movie or show I'm almost certain to enjoy.

[@TheRibbonRed]

Optimistic Otaku that's because we hate ourselves. Or we're that dumb. That said, I'm not in any online anime communities. The mass number of bad recommendations gave me lots of red flags that I just gave up on searching altogether. If anything, Digibro is my online anime community, except that I don't go into anything other than Digibro and Digibro After Dark.

[@untappedhappiness]

[@dyldragon1]

SHOUTS OUT TO ANYONE THAT REMEMBERS DOKURO-CHAN

[@Ziraya0]

The Blue Drop manga series are really fuckin weird and beautiful, but the franchise takes place across over a thousand years starting with the anime in 1999ish, one of the manga stories takes place shortly after the anime, within a decade or so; then another takes place probably within 200 years, and the last is suuuuuper later, and the mangas as a whole paint an image of suffering and guilt spanning hundreds of generations that I can't help but love

[@MustachioedBear]

i don't even catalog a show if i drop it in the first ep. unless it's super bad

[@8r4u1i0]

The Basilisk movie is called "Shinobi"

[@angryyordle4640]

I actually found Blood C pretty good, because it was so over the top, then the last episode came around and they had to exaggarate and make it comedic xD

[@luiseliaschangir3474]

digi, you should move the camera to the right so we can read the name of the anime when you open its mal page

[@CodeBlazeFate]

I drop shows when I feel like there is literally no incentive to watching anymore (not even bashing it in a negative review). It's insanely rare for me to do that given that I've reviewed almost every anime I've ever hated or called "shit". Each of my top 3 most anime I completed, which puts things into perspective as to what a show must do for me to say "I can't even pull myself to go any further for the sake of even shitting on it."

[@Ziraya0]

I earnestly like Amagami SS. Amagami SS is terrible. A lot of why I enjoy it is the ways it celebrates the inanity of it's own premise.

[@Silver-Arm]

Can't wait for Uchuu Kyoudai

[@autisticbidan2303]

I was first attracted to Amagami SS due to the beautiful character designs of the six main girls, and then I found out it wasn't a harem show that I'd expected. Instead each arc with one of the six girls happened on different time lines and was fully focused on one of the girls each time. Every arc had a very different dynamic due to the different characters involved, and the boring ones are totally skippable if you just want the arc with the girl you like the most. With all that being said, the show is totally sold on the fact that the girls are all unbelievably lovable, and if you don't find that with any of them you might as well not watch it.

[@alexgerontzos5619]

From 1991, have you watched honoo no tenkousei? it's a 2 ep ova which should've been a full series as you can see from the op (which is amazing...kinda) But it's some nice insane gainax goodness straight from when mc first walks into the school. Yeah it's sorta kill la kill but not. Hit or miss but it's got some good moments. Go see it.

[@sharpyshores]

[@bt636]

Akame Ga Kill was edgetastic :D But I liked it, easy fun action with lots of blood and guts.

[@haruharaharuko1222]

i've been watching anime for almost my whole life, and i've only dropped like 2 or 3. how you managed drop over 700 is beyond me.

[@MysticTruhan]

Uh, I think the guy meant multiple parts as in "a weekly 10 minute series", not 100 cartoons per video.

[@sinklar7946]

You must've loved the bartender in Catherine.

[@TheInsid3]

[@Young_BZ]

Anohana and Anonantsu de Matteru are amazing. Bartender is amazing one of my favourite anime if not my favourite.
