Sit down next to the fireplace kids grandpa Gigguk wants to tell us about how talking about anime tidies on CZcams began
You mean Gyguk?

DON'T FORGET TO HIT THE LIKE BUTTON ON THAT VIDEO, GIGGUK!
Good to see you rise like this man, have to ask, did you watch demo's videos at the time?
I literally just started really watching your content today.
Lol
Why don't you have a verified tick mark
Favorite channel. Even if I don't see interest in the content your reviewing, I still watch it more than 2 times lol. It's so bold to the references you make. I love the humor. I watched Ghost Stories! So funny. Never thought I would end up finding something like that. You make them on content out of no where. Its aways a suprise. I look forward to the next video always.
Growing a channel to big numbers on CZcams is ridiculously difficult. Staying a prominent figure in your niche through generations of new creators is damn near impossible. Keep killin it 👊👊
i wonder how the anime and skate scene are overlapping
@@runbowalk into a Zumiez and you'll see how massive the overlap is
14:18 Holy shit! Hearing Noble, Joey, Aki and Misty’s name all together again for the first time in a long time gave me massive whiplash! I remember those guys being basically be THE icons when it came to anime content
Noble- doing Visual Novel let’s plays
Joey- doing anime break downs
Aki- analyzing anime tropes and her famous Vocaloid videos
Misty- breaking down anime recommendations based on what kind and type of anime you were looking for
I loved seeing those guys together, they were the reason why I started going to Anime Expo, I got a chance to meet them, not all of them in one place but still
It’s sad that they broke up, still a mystery for the reason to this day, but at this point is long past that and probably doesn’t matter, Joey and Aki came out as a couple and living together, Nobles is doing his own thing hanging out with Vtubers and making new context moving on from his VN anime games days (honestly miss those days) and Misty is happy I’ll married and with 2 kids and sadly left the channel due to YT striking his channel constantly
There was great memories with them and hope they do well on their own paths
….also is no one gonna talk about that time they all got drunk on stream started making out with each other, HOLY FUCK were Joey and Noble giving each other some tongue action!!
there was a glint of hope that a reason for the break up being mentioned in the video, but alas not. Maybe they can get back together (minus Misty unfortunately) and make another video together in the future?
Noble was the guy that introduced me to Anitube scene and The Anime Man.
@@Venislovas same
@@brubio39 Gotta watch what he's up these days, because it was years since I watched him and anything anituber related.
Bro, flashbacks to the good ol' cringey times... A life worth re-living a thousand times ...
I like how gigguk was the biggest anime youtuber 13 years ago then quit for 5 years, came back and now the biggest anime youtuber again
you mean gnart
He litreay had an Anime Portagenist Charchter development Arcs
He pulled a whole Michael Jordan but for anime youtubing.
Bigger than Joey?
@@jakublesko4847 no no grant
Imagine making a living off anime lol lmao
lmao lol
Yeah what a bunch of loserz lol
Anime animators have trouble doing that.
Sad your average animator barely getting by.
Imagine watching anime lol
Lmao
Man listening to this brought a tear to my eye, remembering everything that happened watching garnt since the death note era. Him leaving and coming back and seeing all the rise up and down of other youtubers and also thinking he got cancer but learning that he was bald because he was back from being a monk lol. Jimmy being Connor's predecessor of shit takes lmao during jtaku days and people harassing to get demoD as a guest all the time on the podcast. I will purple banana good the video and keep watching your content for years to come.
Jimmy being Connor's predecessor LOL
He was a monk?
_"also thinking he got cancer but learning that he was bald because he was back from being a monk"_
This made me laugh so hard idk why lmaooo! XD
Nice to see Scamboli get recognition, I love his videos and frequently go to his manga lists for suggestions.
Your sun is not centred
@@TheTanishq That's actually pissing me off now...
just checked his videos the guy sounds exactly like mother's basement you sure it's not him?
@@ceberios They sound completely different
@@ceberios 100%. Listening to Mother's Basement pissed me off, Scamboli is a dickhead and it's great. Also pretty sure Scamboli's black while Mother's Basement lives up to his name
This like a grandpa told his grandkids his life story and it's very wholesome
ITS FINALLY HERE. czcams.com/video/AJihI06c9tk/video.html
Yup
Exactly lol
But with a gatcha game sponsorship which I find hilarious imagining a grandpa doing so
@@SchizophreniaHaver and an *isekai* gatcha game, no less 😅
I’m imagining many years down the line and even now, how we’ll look back at this time period and think of Garnt as THE key figure of anime CZcams that stuck around and all these years and still keeps growing.
ITS FINALLY HERE. czcams.com/video/AJihI06c9tk/video.html
"Sasuga Grant sama"
Some fans already built a Gigguk statue to warship so I future generations will remember.
He is the main Protagonist of AniTube Grant The AnimeZone 😎
@@jazzywuzzydoubunhgu2944now that I think about it one thing that both Gigguk and Ainz Ooal Gowns have in common is that they basically took over the world unintentionally.
It's sad that Misty quit youtube. I understand that he has a wife and kid so the uncertainty wasn't worth it over holding down a regular job since his channel declined.
I hate to mention it but he had alot of controversy that made him quit bc of community backlash.
@@remforrest Wasn't that also the time when Joey parted ways with Noble? I remember seeing videos speculating that Noble was jealous of Joey dating Aki or that they had an argument and refused to talk to each for the past months.
If I remember right his main channel got taken down unrightfully so and had a second channel already made but yeah he ultimately quit YT unfortunately because I remember Chibi making a video on it
This pretty much explains it. But surprisingly Misty made a comment in that video that he would return somewhere down the line but not sure when.
czcams.com/video/K3FIgS_ZkMQ/video.html
@@averagecommander Is there any other source other than speculation about the fall out ? I'm just curious as speculation is the only thing I remember about how people explain how Joey and Noble stops being friends.
What's interesting, even in my weird Anime/Cooking niche is I have seen the same thing. When we celebrate Anime and use something else (cooking) as a story element the videos become so much more fun.
it's wild that the 15-year history of anime youtube - and Garnt's youtube career - is older than some of the people watching this video
I'd say most
@@giordano7199 c'mon, most of Garnt's audience is not under 15.
Can confirm
-Resident 15 year old
I am 20 yo so It's somewhat accurate. Though tbh anime is still being persecuted where I live so we're going through the same cycle of the west lol.
Damn I’m one of them
20:22 "So many of my peers have stopped now. And I hope that one day when that eventually happens to me, someone is going to remember me in the same way"
Honestly have been watching your vids for a good while and can say that some of them have really effected me as a person. You really have been through thick and then and I know for sure that everyone apprieciates what you have done for the community and always will remember if you ever do decide to stop content creating
Exactly Garnt is one of the most influential people in my life(top 5 probably). I've been watching for 5 years(I am 20 yo). Because anime is a big part of my life his videos resonated with me on a deep level. He's basically the first youtuber I've ever followed and a role model for myself.
One of the biggest questions for any content creator, across any medium, is how long they will be remembered once they stop making content. I think Garnt's going to be remembered for an exceptionally long time as being one of the earliest GOATs of anime CZcams, and one of the first (or was he actually the first?) to start making an actual living off of anime CZcams content.
The more serious videos he's done over the years really hit different, like "You'll Grow Out Of Anime...Eventually" (holy shit this was 6 years ago) and "The Anime that Inspired Me", among others.
I like it gigguk made it as "the good old days",
so that I won't feel guilty wasting so many time watching anime and not doing anything productive in my life
That makes me emotional.. well, they say its not a waste of time if you enjoyed it.
I didn't need a callout like this man
I watched this to see if Demo was mentioned and I'm glad that he gets the love he deserved...man I miss his content. Wish you all the best in your future endeavours Mr Gigg UK
i get you. when he released that horror anime recommendations video back in 2020 i couldnt believe my eyes. it was unreal
When he uploaded a couple years back I remember fucking exploding. It was so so nuts.
He doesn’t upload anymore but he’s still around on the internet. He streams on twitch pretty constantly
Well of course, Gigguk had to pay dues to DemoD because Gigguk has been stealing DemoD's jokes for the past decade. I enjoy Gigguk but damn if I didn't start watching him only because DemoD died.
@@demigodFUDO Sadly you're correct.
If I remember correctly Demo started the whole "Seasonal anime catchup". And the whole community started copying it. With most of Gigguk's jokes around that time being watered down versions of Demo's.
Which was all the more annoying since Demo left at the height of his content. But hey, if he's happy, I'm happy.
I could be wrong since this was years ago. So take it with a grain of salt.
It’s insane being in elementary now a 23yo adult and thinking back with this video feeling old but also nostalgic and on a level feeling happy.
Goddamn i am 17 and by next year it wouldnt be the same.. i would become an adult with responsibilities.. when you are enjoying it feels like time is going by so fast..
It still makes me sad that Demo doesn't make videos anymore, but god damn, even now, when you watch back his old videos they are still fucking amazing and still feel fresh to this day. And while he doesn't seem to upload anymore, he has still mentioned in his streams (He semi regularly streams on twitch) that if he feels like making a new video he will make one. That's the reason he randomly uploaded an anime related video 4 years after the last one, and it was stll great. Demo will always have a soft spot in my heart for one of the youtubers that put the curent type of anime content on the map.
I breathed a sigh of relief when you started talking about Demo. I miss his videos. Still go back and watch his Redline review every now and then.
Demo deserves recognition in the annals of anituber history.
Me too. I was waiting for him to be mentioned as was so happy he was recognized for the god-tier content he made
I remember watching Digibro and best guy ever and all the guys from the pro crastinators podcast years ago. Thank you for making me nostalgic and remembering the times I was absolutely obsessed with anitubers and the small community.
A fellow pcp fan. I’m definitely from that Era of anime CZcams. Good times. Though it’s kinda sad how that group slowly fell apart.
Digibro had so many bad takes he left the community and came back under a new name
@@jacklobb3510 digibro wasn’t sustainable trixie was definitely going insane making so much content and living such an incredibly unhealthy lifestyle in general
@@Micoolman As a former Digi fan I'm like 99% sure drugs, bad influences, and too much K-on ruined Digi's brain to the point they couldn't tell up from down.
@@punjabenis6527 Glad she's doing better now.
Truly the Anime Zone.
Man, this takes me back. I remember in 2015, I found Noble aka Lost Pause. Watched him for years and he introduced me to NuxTaku with his anime analysis videos. His competition videos led me to find Connor and thus leading me to watch Trash Taste. I really like that everyone was together when it came to the community and the memories they brought me in High school.
Yeah, same here.
I'm more of a fan of Nux's sarcastic humor than his anime analysis...
when the Anime Analysis era started that was right around when I would say I had just reached peak interest I had in anime and manga so far and I gotta say that is still something that I love about the anime and manga community. These really long, thought out essay videos that really sometimes go even further into the matter of what the an anime show is dealing and exploring with.
I remember Gigguk for Lucky Strik- Star, Black Lagoon and Death Note. Also Gigguk hated Evangelion back then, or to paraphrace "was very critical of it".
but was very successful with Top 20 Cool anime characters which was probably "taken" from JesuOtaku, but he picked up at Reviews like Baccano, Haruhi Movie, Gurren Lagann and Summer Wars. Those were one of the best years to an anime fan.
Jesus can’t believe I have watched this lad for over a decade and witnessed a lot of the things he talked about, and still enjoying and watching every video of him. Keep it up dude hope you still continue many more years
It may sound wierd, but Grumpy Jiisan can be the most renowned anitubers for japanese. Some of his videos were "fansubbed" in niconico and earned >100k views, and even an independent dictionary page has been created for him. I remember I watched and loved his review video of Zegapain back in the day.
This was such a nostalgia trip of a video. Im around Connor & Joey’s age and remember seeing all of this go down as it happened. Thank you Garnt.
Don't really know what happened to him but I remember Einshine being huge as well, I loved watching his and Joey's collabs back in the day
He probably busy with his manga. Didn't he say he want to become a manga creator?
@@AngieBasto yeah, einshine said a lot of things lmao
@@King_Jonghyun True, well i hope he's doing well whereever he is
bruh Einshine is a p3d0
He unfortunately got into controversy years back in which he was accused of being a s**ual abuser/pe**phile and also youtube not giving him a stable income. But he pretty much cut ties with everyone he knew and hasn't been heard from since.
Wasted opportunity for "The history of anime youtube,i guess"
5:46 omg!! He said my name! I'm a happy man now
5:56 Oh heres another time mate
I got incredibly nostalgic when you said forneverworld that was my very first AniTuber
Kinda insane to see how big anime grew in the past few years
Props for including everyone you could
Man, this video was a nostalgia trip and a half. I remember watching some of the early Mr Anime and Hard reviews back in middle school. It’s amazing to see how things have changed so much, and I’m definitely still missing the days before he adpocalypse ruined a lot of fair use content as we know it (RIP Misty Chronexia and most of the abridging community).
One person you forgot to mention from the Blip/ThatGuywiththeGlasses days is Bennett the Sage. The dude was the first guy to do reviews of older and not as well like anime (thing Mad Bull 34 and the Devilman OVAs) and is still doing reviews/analysis videos to this day. The guy is one of the only reviews from the TTWTG era that survived the Channel Not Awesome fallout and do pretty well for himself.
One more recent/honorable mention would be Kenny Lauderdale. All I need to say is that he made me aware of Chargeman Ken, and that’s more than legendary enough. XD
RIP Grumpy Jiisan
Gigguk mentioned noble!! Hell yeah respect to him he’s one of my favourite anime tubers
Gigguk talking about Podtaku made me feel so nostalgic. The dynamic of Holden, Jean, Garnt, and Tristan was so entertaining! And the B-team was also fun to listen to. Good times good times
Demo would be considered the biggest influence in anime content and I’ve seen gigguk mention him before. His videos are just so well done providing a balance between well written comedy, thoughtful analysis and high production level videos. I also give props to guys like glass reflections and gigguk for introducing us to various anime.
This could've easily been a gigguk video. Idk why he doesn't have more views.
I really liked how you brought up Aki/Joey/Noble/Misty! They were basically the 'big four' of anitubers back in the day and I almost feel like nobody remembers and/or talks about it. I pretty much only watch Aki and Joey out of the four anymore, but all of them were a pretty big part in my youtube journey
Still watch Noble.
@@edclink5068 I watched him for a couple of years after the 4 stopped interacting but I got older and just kinda realized that his content wasn't really for me anymore. Sometimes I'll still watch one of his videos if one pops up and interests me but that's not very often
@@mordo1191 I don't think it was noble's fault though. CZcams kind of shut his content down when he was at his peak. Unfortunately, it seems like he couldn't figure out a good way to pivot from his old content. I'm glad he's still doing CZcams and, I hope he can find the spark he had before.(I use to watch his channel back in the day as well)
@@RLAX0 No I don't blame him at all. I was pretty disappointed when he stopped playing visuals novels but I understand that YT cracked down pretty hard on him for his more spicy content. His personality just doesn't really mesh with mine anymore. I still wish him the best of luck though, it seems like he's been doing good for himself now
14:23 Man, for the longest time I never heard gigguk mention/acknowledge lost pause before. Glad to see he mentioned him :)
Obviously he's gonna mention him, this is the ENTIRE history of anitube
@@abura2980 Yeah of course. I remember watching trash taste and wondering why they didn't mention lost pause while they talked about AniTube. They did mention Misty thou
@@ShadymanX That's because this is Garnt's channel. Obviously Joey's gonna bitch if Noble is mentioned on the podcast.
@@honklaugh2 after all these years, I like to hope that they let it go and don’t even care about the beef anymore. They are both doing their own thing and both look to be happy now.
@@Goji86 Did joey and lost pause have a beef? What was it about?
I'll be honest I hold alot of nostalgia for the big explosive era of anime youtube 2014-2018. It's a shame that some of the biggest youtubers from back then like Misty aren't making videos anymore or for the likes of Noble aren't as prominent as they used to be, whatever you think of them you can't deny the impact they had in shaping the modern anituber environment.
Damn I actually am surprised Garnt brought up the Joey-Aki-Noble-Misty group, since it seems like taking Noble's name is like a taboo in this sphere nowadays.
why taboo?
@@armaanb.6566 the 4 used to make alot of videos together and hang out all the time but they stopped being friends and joey hasn't mentioned noble anywhere since like 2016 and no one really knows why
@@swiftfizz788 wow i see
I think he can’t ignore noble if he wants to tell about animetubers history.
Yea same. Like even years later people will talk about Mr. Anime man a literal serial killer, but Noble seems to be weirdly taboo in their cycles. Whats even weirder is that Noble is a mod for Joey's discord so you would think that this weird no talk about him is over but its still there. Like I was genuinely surprised he mentioned noble with the other 4 with how controversial everything is.
I still go back and listen to podtaku episodes. Y’all helped me through a lot.
I feel like the analytical anime youtube content phase and Digi/YGGs content is a bigger part of the AniTube history than was brought up; but I think you did a great job man. Like how else would we know that SAO = Bad show without that content?
It would have faded into obscurity had nobody talked about it, but instead he started the infinitely long train of "SAO bad" videos that got tired after like, the fourth one.
Thanks for the history lesson, Gigguk. You, Super Eyepatch Wolf, Fornever World, and Digibro got me into AniTube.
I appreciate the shoutout to Scamboli, dude's made some of the best manga recommendations I've ever gotten.
I started watching anime CZcams right around Joey, Noble, Misty, Aki and Einshine era. Those were the good old days and peak of anime CZcams IMO.
Einshine is a groomer.
I can't believe its been almost 10 years since I first came across Gigguk. Even if im more like Joey and mostly read manga and light novels nowadays its been a fun road so far and hope for another fun 10 years.
Crazy that I’ve been following Garnt ever since his Fate/Zero video almost 10 years ago. That anime is still one of my favorites of all time to this day!
There was one peace of history I feel was missing. It was a time before misty noble and before 2014 a time in 2012-2013 where Chanel’s like Anime America hit the scene talking about anime top 10s it might feel a bit odd to call this a whole era but it’s important. If you skip this understanding how huge noble,Misty,Joey and Akis hitting CZcams really was. Because in that time anime CZcams content hit a 2 year place where there was nothing new interesting or and most importantly Unique happened and everything felt the same. And I think that’s why it hit a cap for viewers it all looked and felt the same. I shall go back to the void now ❤️
I think around that time.(maybe 2011 at the earliest) we had Tanime's anime reviews as well. I remember watching her and Jesotaku's videos. It made it easier for me to find new series to watch as Tanime would recommend similar anime series at the end of each video to the one just reviewed. I found the cosplay fun as well.
I actually teared up listening to this, I'm so glad and so happy at just how much influence Garnt, the Trash bois and every other Anitubers listed here have had on not just me, you, their fans and viewers, but the whole CZcams-sphere in general. I'm so so so, so so so proud of, and especially grateful for each and every of them.
thank you for the history lesson professor grant 🙏
it’s always nice hearing you talk about your passion and would love to see more of these wholesome talking videos :))
Hearing you talk about Podtaku makes me feel so nostalgic ㅠㅠ
I remember being such a big fan of your channel at the time, and subscribing instantly to Podtaku even though I'd never even heard of this thing called a podcast before haha
I have really fond memories of going for walks while listening to the latest Podtaku episode, or sitting at home rewatching highlight clips over and over again (the clip of jean talking about school days still lives on in my mind almost a decade later)
Goated vid, great explanation! All three of you guys are a huge inspiration for me and my stuff in general, hope to see ya round for many years to come as I grow with my own stuff!
Ik it's probably not a big deal to many, but Garnt remembering everyone from early days and reminiscing about them as he is standing at the top alone is oddly poetic and wholesome.
I still go back and watch Demo's videos sometimes, and I also have to thank Jacob Chapman for introducing me to a lot of anime through his yearly OP rankings. And of course the Abridging community
crazy to see how much of the early part of anime YT I missed even though I've been on YT since 2006. Between this and the nostalgia trip that was "watching anime fan subs" these are important brief history records to protect and treasure, thank you.
Everything deserves a chronicler. A way to pass down the story that wouldn't otherwise be told. Thanks for sharing, Garnt!
Was waiting for demo to get brought up the whole time. I also seem to notice the rise of new well edited and humorous review content. I think scamboli might have actually been the start of this new wave but theres a fair amount of smaller ones growing like echidnut who is about to reach 200k. People that are making 5-15 minute long well edited videos focused on being entertaining and well put together. Content like gigguk's actually, or demo and I am all for it.
Although man I wish demo still did youtube. If somehow he hadn't lost the angel's egg footage all those years ago, the anime youtube landscape could be totally different. Or more likely he would have just quit a little later since IIRC he had a lot of rough stuff going on in his life for several years.
Digibro was such a huge part of my life a few years ago, and defined anitube for me. I, like many others, was absolutely obsessed with all of their content. I believe they had an enormous impact on the community that is understated here, in that they basically began the entire anitube analysis phase. The discussions around anime shifted drastically toward deeper critical analysis than just (relatively) surface-level discussion.
Im glad to see Digi mentioned here, despite them being quite divisive and the rocky past between them and Garnt. I would love to see more content covering the history of anitube like this.
Huh? What's the Rocky past between him and Garnt?
@@samuraijosh1595 Made a video calling out all the bad anitubers at the time and may have mentioned Gigguk. Then Gigguk made a response video and a while later both showed up to a panel at CRX and had a discussion.
@@samuraijosh1595 Digi made a video making a tier list of anitubers on one of his alternate accounts. He rated Gigguk as C tier and essentially called his videos reddit humor and never finished watching any. He basically rated everyone low unless they were his personal friends high. (He put himself in S tier.)
@@David-ve8zi oh i see. I do see his point about Gigguk's comedy style but i feel gigguk uses only some of those reddit memes and even then repackages them into something new with his comedic timing and delivery with a dry British accent.
It's so strange to be in a sort of hybrid position. I've been watching anime content on and off for many years (I remember Garnt's job quitting + Patreon move announcement video). After over a decade of lurking and watching anime content creators, I'm now in the (small-scale "successful") beginnings of my own anime CZcams career.
Like everything else internet-related, the insane boom of the internet means that there's no more "niche communities", for better or worse. Remember CZcams Rewind?
I suspect this may the only "anime CZcams" history video made, but I'm really glad this video was made because this all happened in a time where there was nowhere to document the growth of a small community.
Thanks for the history lesson! Can't wait to see where things go from here for you and the rest of the anime community.
These story time vids are some of my all time favorite yt content, please make more!
We really miss Demo on youtube, his contents truly way ahead of its time... 😩
20:47 I love when garnt brings up utaite, I hope one day we get to see more of that
This was a lot of fun! I always like when you sit down and review the history behind things. You have a great way of making it fun. I’d love to see you do more videos like this as someone who is a little more intimately familiar with the community as a whole :)
This guy, gets married and starts talking about how "Back in his day . ."
This channel has really been a breath of fresh air. The story time with Gigguk is absolutely amazing~!!
Ah!! Noble/LostPause shoutout!
I've been watching your vids since I was 12 or 13 and I'm 23 now and I remember waiting literal years for you to come back your still as awesome as always dude
This was fascinating. I remember searching for this exact question before to no results so i'm glad its finally here. Thank you for making this!
Thank you guys for being there to listen to back when I didn’t have friends to talk anime with back in the mid 2000s I’ve been watching since you’re first podcast with glass reflections you actually Evan talked about me in a episode back when mr anime was the biggest thing and everyone was making three days grace amvs and you had channels dedicated to uploading animes in 280p with like 15parts for one episode it’s been a long road and now there’s a CZcams channel basically dedicated to every anime out there back when everyone one was basically making abridges for every anime out there from naruto to one pieac to yughio thanks for being there from when I was a little kid to the 25 year old man I am now. P.s glass reflections doesn’t get enough credit but he was the biggest CZcamsr back in the day would love to see him on the new podcast also misty was amazing back in the day he still uploads and gets no views pepole should really check him out. I’m going to make a video about being a fan throughout the years and growing up with this community
Honestly, i think Demo had a huge impact on video editing overall. It at least inlfuenced Garnt, and spread through him and others to different parts of the platform. Few can reach Demos level tho. They lack the edge.
Nah, I think scamboli has definitely surpassed demo in the anitube editing scene.
Scamboli is up there, one of my current favorites. But surpassed? I don't think so.
@@sentute scamboli x demo crossover when?
This video is really fun. It's cool to see the everything compiled. Some parts I was there for, but always popped in and out.
Fantastic video! As someone who was a fan of the anime youtube community since Day 1, this was a well made summary of its history as well as a blast from the past haha
Thank you so much for your time and sticking around and battling to build what all this has become. its been an absolute joy to have watched your growth and to have grown up with your content in my life lol from being a kid. I look at alot of the anime content in my life and to see you pull in other creators that also made happen. Freaking bless your brain and who you are!!
youve set a standard and flourished from it creating trash taste. Damn it i cant wait to see the further creations from its influence.Trash Taste is literally the irl version of what Ufotable did with Demon slayer for anime. Change my mind.
This has gotta be main channel worthy
Glad you gave demo a shout out, because the parts of him you picked up made your channel funny.
This is absolutely awesome. I've been wanting to watch a video like this for years
Lost Pause was a big influence on me, to stop trying to kill the part of me that is cringe, and instead kill the part of me that cringes.
I started watching his Nekopara series so fucking long ago, this feels surreal to think it is now part of history
God, It really hits you when you can remember most of the names that popped up in this video just how long you've been watching Anitube. I think I found your channel wayyyy back in 2008 after I was looking for some anime recs. stuck around cause I liked your content and Arkada's.
I still hold to this day that the "Men-taku" episode of J-taku was peak. Like it was just a bunch of guys opening up about their biggest fetishes and talking shit about each other. 🤣
But the landscape nowadays is probably the best form of Anitube and I'm glad to be a part of it.
Loving these second channel videos, different vibes to the main channel. Even more enjoyable when I'm chilling.
Thank you, this was really nice. I havent been that long here but also for a part of the journey and it was a nice trip down memory road
Echidnut is one of the cultured anituber right now. He's super underrated.
I just subbed to him the other day seems pretty chill and rad
The only missing chapter is the abridged chapter. I would love to hear Garnt talk about abridged culture in the early 2010’s
We need more abridged content
Abridged videos were part of how I got into anime as a hobby rather than just watching toonami in the first place
This is a massive nostalgia trip... I forgot about a lot of these creators mentioned, lot's of memories coming back.
I love your anime content, but deep down this was the thesis I always wanted to hear from you. Amazing stuff
I think we all owe a lot to the anime CZcams community. I'm 33, and I've been watching anime since I was 7. I remember going through all of these channels back in the day and writing down the names of anime and manga to check out. They've also helped to make anime more mainstream; back when I was in middle-high school the only kids who knew or would admit to knowing anything about anime were my brother, myself, and a single one of our friends. Now almost everyone knows of or even has a favorite anime.
Ah yes, a lecture about church history.
Bro you're such an inspiration to the anituber community! Loved your video detailing how you transitioned from passionless 9-5 to facing your fears and coming out on top!

Oh, .....oh, ...... OH!! That again.
As someone new to being an anime centric channel I found this video to be pretty interesting. I had heard of a lot of the names you talked about in a lot of different places but enjoyed your take on it all. I'm curious what the future of this all looks like as it appears there's a lot of deep change in creators content and styles. I started out making a heavier load of anime reviews and talks but after having a lot of issues with using clips and such it's really taken a back seat to Japanese/anime gaming. There's a lot of things I want to do with anime topics but also a high risk with doing it.
lol i seen so many random back in them days where you could just type in 'anime episode 1 english sub part 1 of 3' and be greeted with a bunch of anime id never heard of, for free. very nostalgic getting reminded of that. Also, should've brought up abridging, that was a massive part of the communities history
Man I love this video. This is something I was hoping for after he mentioned "A 2001 an anime odyessy" previously on the podcast. There was a lot of names I didn't recognise and I want to check out. Thanks
Been watching since 2009 , lots of nostalgia with this one
Trip down memory lane from Grumpy Jisan to to DIgibro, and giving Demolition D the props he deserves. I miss that guy's content so much goddamnit
I hope you will make some videos on Gigguk Channel - like History of Moe and similar documentaries. They are one of the best tools of explaining concepts in Anime. Period. And I've gotten quite few people interested in Anime thanks to them.
Now I will watch this video.
This was super nostalgic, I came into the community around the same time Joey and Aki started uploading.
Scamboli reviews are one of my favorites since it makes so many real life references. But I like your anime in a nutshell layout because it's not the typical to ten this season. I follow alot of different anime youtubers because as people, everyone has their own favorite genre. I kind of out of the ep to ep reviewers because just having been to subscribe to them, the thumbnails themselves would spoil the shows I did not get a chance to watch. I like both of your channels and looked at the seasonal videos like few months ago. Awesome. Thank you for sharing this though. Keep up the good work.
"And supereyepatchwolf who seemed to come out of no where" Funny enough I witnessed his raise because I was a huge fan of the now ended "two best friends play" let's play channel. As john puts it on an episode of the best friendcast, woolie a member of two best friends play said "HunterXhunter sucks" John was listening to this episode of the podcast and got so mad that he started making anime videos just to prove woolie wrong. Both john and geof of mother's basement started off as weird side characters of two best friends play but then quickly grew more popular.
Now they are great friends and on woolie's channel they have a video series called "gon in 30 seconds" where John forces woolie to watch hunterXhunter through outlandish situations.
The pain of reading two best friends play 😭
I would say that his Simpsons video is what made him blow up, which ironically isn’t an anime. I watched his content before I got into anime, and it was nice to come back after I got into anime.
Where does he mention supereyepatchwolf?
@@Benpurple4 at the end
@@thomasffrench3639 oh yeah, but this was back then both Supereyepatchwolf and mother's basement had less than a 1000 subs. This was back when mother's basement said he wanted to do half anime reviews and half video game reviews but the video game part died very quickly. I believe he only ever reviewed two games.
I just find it super funny because this is why John's first video ever is about hunterXhunter, because the let's players he likes said it was bad.🤣
