Me vs You. You are not on my level
Btw guys it's actually kind of funny but I genuinely do not have beef with Chucks. He is a power scaler and yeah there's no way around that but I’m sure he’s a good guy and he’s making his money.
But yeah. I had to do this. Don’t ever disrespect the goat. Solarsourusrex. And he said you’re not allowed to question me so don’t.
But yeah thank you guys I love you. I think I’ll probably move on from youtube in about a year. Maybe less. I’m basically giving myself a year to make this channel self sustainable. But I’m not gonna push it relentlessly. If I’m not getting anywhere I’ll move on. It's okay. But by no means am I saying you guys should feel any pressure to watch the videos. Don’t worry about me.
I’ve been dealt incredibly lucky cards so the least I could do is make the most of it. But I’m not completely leaving either. Just inactive probably. And once its done I’ll come back. Because this is a great hobby. But I do miss when I could just make minecraft videos without any worry. Even if I wasn’t making money. But that's why. No fantasy land. See you at the top.
Thanks guys.

It sounds like what you're saying is "Its ok for you to think 5+5=7, just know you're wrong and move on".

Writing is not about right or wrong it's about perspective.

[@ChawedMirthPrattEnterprise]

I do agree with you in most of this video but I will disagree with the anime segment. I don't think a piece of art being in-your-face with its ideas is necessarily a bad thing. Yes, subtly is very nice, but I don't think it's necessary for something to be good. What about nuance, or logic, or theming, or building up multiple plot-threads? I will agree with you that anime does have a very hard time with the rest of those things but some of the shows you've listed do have good parts in those other areas and I would implore you to give them another chance and watch them further. In particular, Vinland Saga and Cowboy Bebop. I don't blame you for not liking the unsubtle approach to anime though.

[@slendermf8588]

I think you're forcing yourself into thinking that you can only enjoy media with complex subtle writing, and sure those tend to be good but there's nothing wrong with enjoying a show with a character you like, I think the problem here is your criteria for calling media good or bad lays completely in the writing depth instead of all the other things that actually go into making it, and calling something "bad" regardless of what that thing was trying to achieve simply because you didnt think it had much narrative depth, or because its message is simple and clear. But if you care to clarify be my guest

[@swan-cloud]

there's an art to making simple, solid stories, to imply that the only good stories are those with subletly is just silly. it's ironically a perspective lacking in nuance, merely pointing out that very upfront stories are terrible without trying to explain why. on the other hand i do think most anime tell their simple stories poorly, like with the mentioned repetitive dialogue. i just don't think his reasoning is quite right.

I agree with your comment, but I think it's valid to go about things the way he's doing it also.

[@demiliomason1565]

Kinda funny how you mention cowboy bebop could be seen as a cartoon network show. A lot of anime from that time blew up in popularity because of the toonami block on cartoon network actually, including cowboy bebop. And the host for the toonami block named Tom; voiced by Steve Blum, is the same actor that voices Spike Spiegal. Among many other voice credits. I think you should give that show more of a chance since it's not that long, and I do reccomend watching the dubbed version. However, I admit anime isn't for everyone and i myself am pretty picky about it. I would like to reccomend you the english dub of Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood. Even if it has dialogue you may not like I think you'd see the artistry in it and recognize how great it is from the action, the setting, the characters, and the story.

[@fusionprime241]

Yea anime definitely isn't for everyone and the character writing can be underdeveloped or have things be way too blunt but it has many shows that may not be masterful works of art are enjoyable by many and resonate with many viewers. I am also pretty picky with anime too lol. I would also recommend full metal alchemist brotherhood even though I haven't finished it yet. The main character has a quick temper which can be annoying at times I'd argue it still has good character writing. Also don't just watch the first episode as it doesn't completely set up the characters and focuses more on setting up the plot. Watch the first 2-3 episodes at least to get a good glimpse at what the show is.

[@demiliomason1565]

@@fusionprime241 I would almost argue against character writing being underdeveloped. like yes in an industry as big as japanese media is, another example being Hollywood itself, it is too reductive to say it can be underdeveloped or sometimes be too blunt. something to keep in mind with this video by RSG and one of the most popular genres is mostly meant for young children. and that the japanese have a different way to tell their stories and write characters. If RSG reads this I think part of why he got so much hate comments when he said "anime isn't subtle at all." is that it feels almost a little racist to say that. it overgeneralizes the medium when you could easily point to very popular and critically acclaimed directors to counter that. such as hayao miyazaki and his films. it's almost baffling how people can claim anime is never subtle when you have films like Nausicaa, Princess Mononoke, Spirited away; or Tokyo godfathers to list a non miyazaki example. and that's just one director, there's plenty more out there one just needs to find it instead of looking at one aspect of the industry and brushing the rest off.

Good video, I'd recommend to read Berserk and Monster, just read the manga, watching the first ep doesn't rlly say much either, most first eps of anime are boring anyway

[@untantic]

I like Monster and Berserk too, but I think (it's quite possible I don't) understand what he means by poorly written. While these two titles are some of the best in their niche, they don't stray too far from the general anime convoy. This is well illustrated by an example from the game, the dialogue seems to be not between people, but some robots that must fulfill their quota. Therefore, probably for the author, Cowboy Bibpop stands out from their background, due to the fact that it looks more like a regular film than others, I don’t particularly like it, because of the space theme, especially in this style. For example, take Pocket War (a small anime from the Gundam franchise) and the first series of Cowboy (or 5 episodes, to keep everything in your head) and compare it even with the same Berserker and Monster, and then take an anime like Attack on Titan or/and Vinland, and at the very beginning, even before Pocket War and Cowboy, take any well-reviewed movie or series, or even a poorly-reviewed one. After going through this relatively short path, you will be able to form a kind of intuition about why the author of the channel rates anime low. Anime is like a cozy home with a transparent plot and characters, banal and warming pathos flows into your ears, no matter what anime you take, you know everything about it from the very first minutes, if you’ve watched other a couple of times, there are always exceptions of course. Almost every film or series, in turn, is a unique product with unusual characters and approaches; you never fully know what awaits you, even if it is a bad series or film. Of course, this is all relative to the anime, and if you take the average viewer, of course there are people who can guess all the plot twists with their eyes closed and ears plugged. This definitely sounds more like a stream of consciousness than a considered opinion, but as an anime lover, I have to share this opinion with another anime lover. Well, my English is not very good, not my native one, sorry.

Good video, but I have this critique: Hell yeah anime dialogue is corny as shit. But if you watched it a lot of them and didn't like "because of the writing", you should consider that you aren't being fair to these shows as artpieces by just picking up the, idk, "shakesperean model of writing" used in our books and hollywood and applying it on the storytelling of a country miles away from europe. As in the phrase "Form follows function" (Louis Sullivan), stories and art in general have a voice of their own *before* you have the model to analyze them. Of course, that doesn't mean everything is good and that you should find a perspective to like everything, but you also can't make a fish climb a tree, fishes should be competing in the swimming contest or whatever. Anyway, all that said, you don't need to think about all that to dislike anime, no one who likes had to know about all this to like. The dialogue is corny and it's part of the charm, part of the style. Sorry for the wall of text.

I feel like themes and story are also a part of writing and in terms of those some anime can and do keep up with and occasionally beat western media. And especially in AoT, even if the moment to moment script leaves some to be desired, the actual characters and the situations they find themselves in are still very interesting and unique. I think it's more a question of where that effort goes in writing. Even ignoring the fact that a lot of anime is afraid of breaking convention in a lot of ways, they still have their own strengths that western media lacks. I'm saying this as a person who dislikes anime precisely because of it's conventions and moment to moment writing. I hate that shit, but I don't think it's wise to write all of the writing off.

Watching you reading hate comments has never been so entertaining.

[@imraystation]

RSG isn't a fan of how unsubtle most anime are, and I think I've got the primary reason why: most anime are written like this because of inner monologues. The biggest hurdle to getting non anime watchers to try anime is those. Even I hated monologues for a long time, as it has been ingrained in me as a sign of lazy writing, and most of the time it is. That is until I tried reading manga and realized why so many anime are like that. I think monologues exist because many manga and light novels rely on them as part of their narrative. And it's not like it's optional; you'd lose much of an integral part of the story if you stripped them away. Shows like Cowboy Bebop don't use monologues because they're anime originals and have no source material to fall back on. It's probably why the dialogue wasn’t as in-your-face as the other anime he’s watched. In fact, it's very common for anime originals to abide by the "show, don't tell" principles of storytelling. That's because they are bound by the mediums they're trying to adapt. I'd wager some adaptations do need inner monologues; otherwise, it'll just be a poor adaptation, like The Promised Neverland anime, for example. It removed all infodumps and monologues from the manga in favor of a very "show, don't tell" approach, just like Arcane and Avatar, and fans of the source material hated it. Removing all the internal monologue from the manga ended up removing all the mind games that the manga was famous for, making it just a generic horror thriller in their eyes. A lot of anime do internal monologues poorly, like Hunter x Hunter, Attack on Titan, and Demon Slayer, for instance. But there are a lot of anime adaptations that need monologues in order to be somewhat successful. Well, that’s my two cents, at least. I'm pretty curious about his more intricate thoughts on anime at large if he ever makes a video on the subject. RSG, if you’re reading this comment, keep up the good work on the videos man.

I was gonna question you a bit about the takes on anime writing, but the explanation you gave defining writing is was pretty good.

Kinda the only thing I can mention here as the rest you are on point with. an example could be trying to review the halo games as a whole but you only played the first level of the first game, You could certainly say the writing in the first game is poor but the writing in the 2nd game enriches the first.

Writing is how a meaning is being conveyed. It is obviously very complicated and not something I could just explain in a few sentences. I think most of the time in anime, the meaning the show is trying to convey is done so reduntantly that the characters themselves end up feeling artificial.

@@RSG200Id call code geass in as an example here, the thing is just themed around war and how the cycle will repeat again and again. characters will sound bland sometimes but some poor dialogue or some elements will be pushed to get the message across. What is key to focus on is the impact it leaves on those who watch it, if a story does get its message across in an emotional way, then does that give credit to writing, or perhaps you would refer to it as storytelling? Maybe it makes the impact far weaker. (Ill point at kung fu panda 3 here, Po tricking kai in a cheap way makes the whole thing have less value and feel rushed.) I know they go hand in hand but the distinction is important. In code geass case, I feel like the mecha fights are all window dressing to what the writer was trying to convey to people.

[@kingdamocles6567]

Your videos are always entertaining even when i disagree with some of the opinions and logic. Arguing objectivity for inherently subjective aspects like "good writing" using the basis of personal preferences isn't a good foundation for proving anything other than bias. Trying to judge entire shows of the first 20 minutes/first episode is not exactly a concrete thought process. Before you can critically judge a piece of media's writing one should at least do the due diligence to understand the goal/purpose of said media and how it was formated in said industry. Otherwise you're just trying to fit everything into the same box without understanding the myriad of different writing styles and their purposes. TL;DR: I can't lose to ignorance.

[@mcbaws21]

vid was fine till you hopped on mob psycho. i agree the first episode isn’t that great, but the rest of the show is acc amazing. idk why this is so common with anime but it often takes me a few episodes to really get into it (and when i do im hooked), mob psycho is no exception. i reccommend checking out a few more episodes, plus mob s2 is acc peak

I dont think its exactly fair to watch 1 episode then have your criteria be a build up of subtle details. That being said some of those are long asf so I can't really blame you for not binging them all if you just don't have any interest.

Opinion on avatar?

[@faber3813]

Your point on Anime is pretty stupid. 1) Anime are as different as any form of media. You admitted that you generalized too much, but at face value even in this video you watch some episodes and declare that most anime have bad writing. Spoiler: every media with thousands of hours per years have a lot of dumb shit. 2) anime for me is the same as animation. The only difference is in what place is produced, and there are many japanese, and some are good at writing and some are bad. 3) Maybe the adaptation is different, but i read Monster, and yes, sometimes is pretty dumb, but overall is truly good. All the arc of mains characters are good. The detective, johan, politics etcetc. Sometimes is naive, but that's the nature of any media that have a very big "scope" and you have limited time to create a piece of media. It's near impossible to see a WB like Lotr because Tolkien literally spend his life to create that, but it's unreasonable to pretend that accuracy in any fantasy, and imo nuance in politics is even more complicated. Also BB have some shitty premise, and some dialogue and situations are flat out stupid. The police and Walter brother in low are so fucking stupid. But overall it's good. Side point: Anime many times are very theatrical, and yes, that can be very cringe sometimes, especially in show like AoT, but it's not *really* bad writing, it's lack of nuance of what you want to do with a story. Sometimes AoT is grounded, some times Shakespearian, and that's bad imo, but in case of Mob, well, it is coherent and tell you what it is about and how in their first episode. I enjoy theatre, I am one of the few that actually go to a theatre and watch Swan Lake and enjoy all of it, but if someone tell me that it's shit because there's no dialogue and the ballet was tiresome, than that person is simply in the wrong place. Ofc its an hyperbolic example, but i hope that you get the idea And now, some good anime with imo very top notch writing: -Revolutionary girl Utena. Here i kinda cheat, it's a very flowed masterpiece, sometimes to slow and sometimes to fast, but some characters arc are just so fucking good, with nuance in something like teen sexuality and gender role back in the late 90'. Also the director, Kuniku Hikurara, is a fan of Lynch, and holy if we see that. -Miyazaki, Takahata and Satoshi Kon whole filmography. No explanation here lol. -All the Anime that Yuaasa directed. Anime like Kaiba and Ping Pong can be exaggerated in some situations, but it's only served for style and animation. Sorry for my English

[@SavageJarJar]

"with nuance in something like teen sexuality...," go to jail, do not collect 200 dollars.

[@faber3813]

@@SavageJarJar ? Adolescents are typically horny (and stupid), and start to develop their sexuality deeper. SPOILER It's interesting in Utena because she believes she can't be anything but Etero, but understand that this was just an excuse for not giving up on her dreams.

[@G4M3R1R0N]

Im not gonna say you have bad takes but saying youre gonna watch the first episode of an anime without going any deeper and letting the writing get better is dumb because its just assuming that itll all be as garbage as the first episode But it does save lots of time from watching the entire show

[@lamegamertime]

Maybe, but truly great writing would be good throughout the entire show.

[@fusionprime241]

yes and no. The first episode of a series sets up the entire show and the way the show is written so it is a good indicator of the writing quality for the show or at the very least the first season. But the first episode is mainly set up for the story and is unable to cover any character arcs so it can't encompass the entirety of what the author is trying to do with their characters. Many series maintain the same writing quality throughout the entire show while others decline or improve so it depends on the show but in the case of what RSG 2 was trying to emphasize, it was effective, at least in my opinion.

[@cycle3773]

a good example is probably how the beginning of berserk functions solely to grab your attention as the quality in writing is subpar when compared to the golden age arc

[@Igorsbackagain-c6q]

Not sure what Cowboy Bebop overwrote and explained in the first episode. From an anime standpoint it’s pretty much perfect. I think this guy just doesn’t understand anime, which is fine but the writing in these shows are definitely not bad.

True but ppl who write these idiotic comments should know that when they write these comments rsg2 will call them idiotic.

And why should he censor them, when they have commented on a public video, if they didn’t want to be known, they wouldn’t have commented

If we were on Twitter I would agree but here people can’t really go on a death threat spree without being mass reported, and unless you’re extremely pathetic you’re not gonna do some digging on some random person on the Internet who insulted your favourite KZbinr, so these guys will be fine.

[@XantuxNepomuk]

Broo what are you talking about 🤣 - If I understand this correctly: Some part of your audience doesn't like how you insult people who write dumb comments. And your defense is: Because they wrote dumb comments, your insults were justified. This is a terrible argument. Call a dumb comment a dumb comment, but saying a person is dumb for writing a dumb comment is STILL AN INSULT - whether justified or not. A justified insult is still an insult. I'm not even arguing that it's bad to insult people, but I think it's definitely not necessary. Like... you can take apart a stupid argument lacking basic logic without calling the person who wrote it an idiot.

[@fusionprime241]

he's not insulting them he is just coming to a conclusion about people based on the evidence provided

[@RSG200]

No bro I'm going to every time. You don't get to just make a stupid ass comment and walk away freely. At this point its my duty

[@cycle3773]

He already stated that calling them dumb is an assumption directly caused from the act of the comment being self contradictory and/or generally illogical, it's an assumption with an undeniably limited amount of evidence but nonetheless is still somewhat substantiated. If i commented 2+2=5 and tried to argue with you that i'm correct you'd assume i'm either dumb or trolling, in that case to call me a troll or dumb would be a substantiated claim.

[@flydrop8822]

@@cycle3773 No, it wouldn't be a substantial claim to call you dumb for thinking 2+2=5. It would be an insult.

[@cycle3773]

@@flydrop8822 The claim "cycle3773 is a complete idiot" would in that case be substantiated by the evidence of me stating in a prior comment that "2+2=5". I'm saying it'd be a substantiated claim to call me stupid due to the fact that there's evidence pertinent to the topic at hand which would back up said claim, "2+2=5" is a contradictory claim which is necessarily false. To be "dumb" means to lack intelligence and to be "intelligent" is to make judments and come to conclusions through reason, you could quite literally call me dumb BY definition if i said "2+2=5" bro.
