I make videos about anime, mostly older titles, and help explain cultural and historical context, as well as analyze their themes. My older work is a bit more satirical than I tend to work these days, but I still can have a bit of a snarky edge if the title calls for it.

Neon Genesis Evangelion: The Story Of An Otaku
Переглядів 23 тис.6 місяців тому
When I released the two part Evangelion episode back during the summer of 2022, I had intended for it to be one, massively long episode. However, due to production issues and real life commitments, I had to split the episode into two parts. I finally squared away some time to edit the two part series into the one, singular, focused episode I always wanted to make. Once again, thank you all. 0:0...

The company even owns Dwango the old Doom death match service
So, when is Bubblegum Crisis Tokyo 2040 next in line to continue this? 🤔
Loved this when my dad bought me the first dvd 😂 I loved it but I seen myself in excel xD just everything is like my mind espically the puchuu's 😂
5:15 I literally just got back from getting dinner as I post this, having made a side stop to a local thrift store, where I found (and got) this very Bandai set (not the actual one he's holding obviously) for $3.99 each. The discs look untouched.
You probally should have picked a better analogy.. The iron Sheik Never beat Hulk Hogan 26 losses, 2 draws
I don't really have a problem with Manga Video including American music for scenes that take place in America, especially with Ken, I'm just glad they didn't pull a Digimon movie and have like Smash Mouth playing in scenes that take place in Japan or something
i still enjoy the era amv on youtube. imagined my own story and all.
I don’t know what you’re talking about, Sage this is one of the greatest anime ever
I loved this show as a teenager but strangely enough when I was that age I actually had the mentality of “as the story went on, I slowly grew to hate Light” because as time went on he was not only killing criminals but just people getting in his way, I was more on the side of wanting to see him get caught. Now that I’m older I realize from the start Light was in the wrong from the start and because of that, the manga ending was a satisfying conclusion to Light’s character. End of it all he was some arrogant kid who got his hands on power and died as a worthless criminal
You know just watching this review just reminds me this could be a legit reasonable event story for Fate/Grand order, or it already happened I don't know... It could fits perfectly as a gudaguda events...
As one of the character designers on this series, I was stoked to come across your video about our show. Thank you for watching and discussing! 🤘
You are a solid film reviewer, your understanding of story combined with presentation is impressive.
0:46 What's wrong, Bennett?
Just a heads up for those who attend Anime/Comic conventions, if you see a Discotek media booth there still is a slight chance to get a copy at reasonable price. I was able to find a copy at Anime Central 2024. Hope anyone who is searching for a physical copy has as the same luck I did.
am i still watching the same anime? i mean where's the wild child or the actual god baby?
一
両方の番組で主人公がアズマであるのは、アズマの人物が使われているからであり、それがより高価になるからである。だからあなたはアニメが高価すぎると文句を言っている。なぜなら、多くの番組で私を主人公として再利用し、両方の番組で私がアベルとアルカードの両方のMCだからである。
That DBZ one is on top 👌
The counter culture portion is incredibly relateable, modern anime is nowhere naar as good it was 15 years ago.
Ah yes Media Blasters the company that despite already lost almost 60% of their workforce, closed MB Voicework Dubbing Production Company and nearly into closure basically turned into a yesterday news just like many american licensing companies that fell and closed beforehand and somehow through sheer abundance of luck they still stand through the test of time and exist to this very day. Truly they deserve this one famous phrase "Alive & Kicking"
I saw the anime when I was in middle school it was great. I even saw the Japanese live action movies which were amazing.
Gasp.. Native Americans please
What are you talking about? Doomed was great.
12:48 Honestly I like that the only strategy that can be used to outmaneuver a rogue AI is to just walk up and stab it in a manly fashion
When is the next episode being uploaded?
I have to say, Psycho Saeko is my favourite character.
I think Bennetts second observation is the most likely option on why Griffith did what he did with the Princess, not caring about the consequences because of his headspace. He wanted to regain some sort of misguided manhood, almost in the way that people will act differently to "compensate" after losing someone in their life that is no longer there for various reasons. Hell even by the way he first reacts it's immediately clear he didn't know just the gravity of the situation he was in. RIP Miura, you're a legend that is gone but never will be forgotten.
Crack is cheap. 😅
remember when hulu was free?

Why'd you think that hat was a good idea?
that's stupid there is no power ups in inuyasha,just sword upgrade,the person wielded is not
I'm honestly surprised we don't see more media where the first bad guy fights a new bad guy, loses or just anything regarding multiple antagonist fighting each other in general You'd think it'd be an obvious plot point that could lead to alot of different things but it isn't really ever used (For the Gen Z don't bring up the Orichimaru vs Pain "fight" that's non-canon and exclusive to the game)
Now it's officially back
You know, if this was turned into a game like it was planned, this seems like very link's awakened styles of look. Or just something akin to xenogear...
The problem isn't the kids voice acting, the problem is his microphone peaks every time he talks.
EVAN JELION WHAT THE FUCK DUDE
The anime gave Barbara goodson a headache
I feel like. Lot of sages problems could be solved by just watching the sub

In mind, anime was never for me. Still watch some though. 😂
Please please please do hellsing ultimate. 🙏
simple answer really for aggression in BL...old way thinking of chick think bad boys are hot, image if female readers are all girls from bastard!!
I like the 4 parter move series of this and than the original. Yes, it was still good....But the newer of the 4 parter movies' much better. Just saying.
Naruto is trash 🗑 idk how it got so popular
Man, you talked me right out of it. Thanks, I suppose
Well it’ll be great to watch another mech series that is just Evangelion for a change 🧐👍👍👍
This video makes me really happy for 3 reasons 1. I'm happy we have moved away from this kind of content where it's a bunch of gen x people whining about media they didn't understand and refuse to engage in nuanced discussion. 2. The West has moved away from this idea that "Evangelion is bad" is a fact. 3. That Bennet has never mattered once since about 2008 because it is specifically content creators like him that contributed to the hostile, bad faith environment that talking about anime in social platforms has become. Bonus 4. The confirmation that damn, the best parts of channel awesome really were always Nostalgia Critic and Cinema Snob.
The guy who snubbed his own workers and the scab who backed him? Nah, Lindsay Ellis, Angry Joe, Bennett and Todd in the Shadows are leagues above both
