I have had you completely change my mind on an anime before. After your k-on! Videos I had an epiphany. Realizing its brilliance for the first time was incredible. I rushed straight to MAL, logged in and bumped it up from a 5 to a 6. Love you Digi
My exact position too. I think the characters are very competently written, with traits that express themselves in both positive and negative ways. it's pretty close to believable. However, i've always hated high school girls. (condescending, vapid, not interested in whether goku could beat up superman) There is no reason for me to like a show about high school girls living highschool girl life.
I think this is the exact way people should think about opinions and not - you are wrong only my opinion matters and is in right - because that is just dumb and childish. I appreciate digis way of thinking, and even though I sometimes strongly disagree in his ratings, especially recently, I still respect it because we all have different tastes etc.
So the way I picture it is, Digi has a camera in every room of his house, he's taking a shit in the bathroom, but then he gets an idea which requires his immediate attention, so he gets up, pants still around his ankles, and starts filming, cause shit can wait dammit.
Does that include outside his house too? Out on his porch or front door, gets an idea, and just starts filming right there? I wouldn't mind some outdoor Digi from time to time.
Digi got started with mlp stuff. It's how he got noticed on the internet in the first place. He doesn't watch it anymore I'm pretty sure though. He was a huge fan of it back then.
I KNEW IT. When I heard the echo, I was like "This is your bathroom isn't it. Oh god, is this a hentai? Did I click a hentai site link again? Redirect? NO!!!!"
I personally am not particularly concerned with what anyone likes or dislikes (though I do enjoy hearing about what people love), and I'm certainly not interested in proving anyone wrong. But I guess I've always been more preoccupied with my own thoughts...something of an introvert. I do enjoy learning about anime that I wouldn't have known otherwise, and I'm always up for trying something that's suggested - this is why I watch Digi. The rants can be fun sometimes, too.
You've challenged me many times over the years with idea's and opinion's i still to this day reject with all of my being as wrong. But that being said you probably convinced me of just as many. Keep on sharing your core digi I wouldn't be who i am without it.
Same. I had heard so much praise directed towards the show, and I saw Digi's video on it, and that persuaded me to try out the show. Long story short, it's also become a favourite of mine.
iBenjamin1000 I watched it, but to be honest i wouldn't if i was you, just watch hxh, Hunter x hunter is Shonen at its perfection with the very best fights, characters and arcs in anime.
all of my favourite anime are shows that either I already liked that you made me feel extremely validated for enjoying or shows that I didn't care about that you convinced me were amazing. You showed me the light with your k-on analysis and now it's my favourite.
First of all: I think the question is why did you take us to your bathroom? And Secondly: I have actually been considering beginning an analysis channel of my own, because it's something I feel I could do really well, and it's because of the same reasons you have in this video. I have been a very stubborn and argumentative person for a long, long time, and so much so that I really don't know why I didn't take Debate in high school. And I think I've already been analyzing anime for some time anyways, I'm part of an anime fan page and just searching my name, I can find several instances of me making analytical style posts, and most recently I posted on MAL for RE: Zero's 18th episode a strong rant about how what happened that episode didn't make any coherent sense, and it pissed me off. So right now I am looking into video cameras and microphones, and just maybe I'll start something soon.
very good, thank you for that. I always have an issue when having arguments with people that do not take what i am saying, i guess they are also to "walled up" on what they believe, but if they don't convince me i will not feel so bad again. you gave me a new perspective on this kind of thing i will will try to pay more attention next time. Thank you Digi!
Hey, Digi. Just thought I'd let you know that it is now my lifelong mission to write an analysis of BioShock Infinite that will prove once and for all (not only to you, but to all your little horseshoe crew) that it's actually good game. Once I change your mind, I could rule this city, Spider-man.
I wrote a full term paper about the real world parallels and dangers of political polarization found within the story of bioshock infinite for my poly-sci class last year. Got an A too lol
+CORF That's rad! Personally, I think the commentary on jingoism/fanaticism alone are enough to make the game good, although there's so much more that you could dig into.
+B10NIC PIZZA Exactly. I argued the commentary is so impactful because through Booker the player gets an almost completely objective point of view of the two clashing factions and gets to see the worst of both when at their ideological extremes. Since his personal goals are the top priority to the player while playing, Booker's outsider perspective is for the most part unbiased (he ends up fighting practically everyone at some point), which allows the player to take in the social commentary present in the "secondary" story without it feeling like they're being fed an agenda by the writers.
Every time I see one of your videos, this is exactly what I _want_ to do, even if it's with a show you agree on, even if I want to do it to a thing that you weren't even talking about, I want to analyze _something_. Either to show people that there are more sides to the argument, or to help people understand why someone would disagree with them on what they're saying. Turns out that's the emotional core of your videos. Turns out this was part of your master plan. Well played.
If you stepped into the realm of analyzing philosophers and complex novels, then I would be impassioned to make some type of thing to respond to your criticism of it. But man, with anime, its like whatever. However, as a guy who doesn't usually watch anime, couple months ago you said in passing HunterxHunter was great (tournament arc chart from asterisk war series videos and other little mentions) and I decided to watch it. I ended up marathoning all 148 episodes and it was pretty amazing. Thanks for that. If you ever do get around to writing that novel length video series on HunterxHunter I'm all there Digi; that plus patreon bucks too.
This is a point of view I can't agree with. The kind of things that influence people on a daily basis - whether we like it or not - are in the everyday things we watch. These are the most influential things in our lives. Without analysis of it and the few anime creators who do want to make something incredible, the entire field of anime would simply be consumed by cliche garbage. The same can go for any form of media. On top of that, analyzing philosophers doesn't automatically make you amazing nor does it make it relevant. While there are many amazing things said by philosophers, there is so much that's been left behind in the dust that really doesn't feel as relevant anymore. For example, while I think Platotonic ideals are really interesting, there's a lot of political jargon spoken by Plato that no one would give any mind to these days, especially his stuff on class, slavery, and how they a majority of people don't get to take part in the system. It's like Gandalf says in The Hobbit adaptation (which in it of itself isn't very good, but has its moments), true goodness is found in everyday actiosn.
i personally like you a lot because you legit parrot some of my thoughts on so shows almost surreally well, like Lain and darker than black, you 100% took words out my mouth, and more or less did on yu yu hakusho, shiki, and texhnolyze too.
That's awesome. I'm about to get started on my own videos. Which are all going to be animated series. Your videos are a great kick to get inspired. Thanks, bro.
Idk how much I agree with this. I don't think there is such a thing as being "wrong" in these cases. I agree that I can relate to the desire to show someone where your coming from, so that they don't think your wrong, and I agree that explaining somthing can open ones eyes to the worth of a work to the point where they may begin to like it, but I don't like the idea that the person is wrong until proven otherwise. the idea that either I am right or you are right points to the concept of there being an objective truth about the works worth, which I don't think there is. if someone comes to understand why a work is beloved, but cannot come to enjoy the work that way, he is not wrong about his opinion of disliking the show, it is simply not to his taste, that's good enough for me. I feel the goal here should be to combat ignorance, to make sure as many people as possible understand what there is to each work, and how it can be interpreted.
I pretty much overanalyze everything I watch and read and am exposed to on the internet (As you said before I love it and I'd rather not turn my brain off, its just my default mode), and I always end up having very specific and very (how i feel) logical negative and/or positive opinions about the things that I watch. The thing is, I haven't really sat and thought about how or why I analyze so much, and I haven't really written any of it down, so I most of the time don't remember or don't bother to mark it as something I should write down so I often express these sentiments and end up unloading all of my uhm, over analysis even in casual conversations and most of my friends (excluding one) just stop responding to me because I guess I'm too much. But you like, perfectly word out the complete shitstorm of criticism of things in my head, so when I watch your videos I feel like I'm simultaneously listening to my own organized thoughts and also having a pleasantly energized conversation. Also how you feel about how you look at things is exactly how I feel about how I look at things. Sometimes I feel like my friends think I'm some giant egotistical pretentious nerd, but I'm really just trying to engage with my friends on a deeper level conversationally. I don't think theyre wrong (well maybe yes I do but I feel like thats sort of how opinions work), I just feel like they should maybe look at things beyond the surface. Thanks for helping me relate lmao.
Yo, man, I feel the same way. I ALWAYS want people to understand me and my opinions. That's EXACTLY why I have conversations about media with people, and try debating a refuting their opinion if I don't agree. And I ALWAYS know, if I think about it, I can find out why I disagree with someone or something and explain it. Usually, people end up understanding where I come from and we agree to have different view points. Sometimes people just say I wanna be right...well, yes, I would prefer if Im right most of the time. People say that as an excuse or escape when they cannot manage to convince me at all on their opinion, and I point out the flaws in it. That's the thing: I want to be right. But I don't HAVE to be right. I've had my mind changed plenty of times by people, but way more often than not, they fail, or rather, barely try to back their opinion, and describe their feelings for something. I've had similar instances to that too. Relateable video. Wanting to understand others, and wanting people to understand yourself, are great reasons to make the videos you do.
Which is easier and harder to convince you of: convincing you that a thing you liked is worse than you thought, or that a thing that you hated is better than you thought?
I have never changed my mind because of one of your videos. I've disagreed with some of them, but since I don't make videos, it's hard to "try to change your mind" with comments. You are a writer, so you probably understand that writing has it's limitations. I guess my point is that you shouldn't only rely on the people around you to point out why you're wrong. Self-criticism is important as well.
Why would I ever care about someone else's opinion so badly that I want to make a whole video to prove him wrong? Sounds like a poor man's way of instant gratification.
Well having your own opinion changed by someone else's opinion can be really satisfying and profound, so there's inherent value in trying to change other people's opinions in order to have the same effect on them. I'm pretty sure that was a huge point of this video.
This could almost make a good anime. A boy whose favorite thing is to prove him self right, but has a great appreciation for people who can do the same. But slowly learns...maybe he was wrong all along... then he gets trapped in a video game.
Before I saw your videos, I had just assumed K-ON! was just a bunch of vapid, shallow garbage. But after hearing your glowing praise of the show time after time, and after seeing what KyoAni is capable of with Hibike, I decided I'd add it to my list of shows to try. I'm excited to watch it after I finish Gurren Lagann.
ハリケーン北極 Yeah, Hibike's no masterpiece, but it was a solid 6.5 imo. I've found that I'm pretty weak to cute girls who might be into each other, though, so that might be where we differ.
I think it's a really cool mindset because it gets people to actively communicate with you and raise an argument not just have a baseless opinion but form an air-tight argument so people can engage in a civil back and forth
While I agree with most of what shows you like and dislike, after I watch a video you do on a show I haven't watched or finished, I definitely put it at the top of my list to watch. And also to use your arguments to defend shows I like and tell other people why they are wrong through your words. Praise be to Digi.
The game cube has Metroid Prime 1/2 and Eternal Darkness, therefore the gamecube is obviously better. Anyway, this sounds a lot like a super villain origin story. Now you just need to get super powers.
To answer your question, I was taking a really big and unnecessary shit on Clannad at 3:00am when you walked in and just started talking. I didn't leave because your story sounded interesting.
Digibro, I understand that you really like anime, and I really appreciate your content. But you have so much knowledge about analysis that I'd really like to see you branch out. Whenever you make stuff about video games, I really like it.
I think digi talked about branching out in the future. I think he just knows anime the most and has a bunch of stuff to still talk about with anime. Maybe once he gets his house studio up and running he will branch out more.
I'd like to see you make a vlog as to why you like the game cube, because I also hate it. It has like 7 worthwile exclusive games that I can think of, Metroid Prime, Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, (the first four aren't exclusive anymore, but they were at the time), Paper Mario, Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door, and Super Mario RPG, in comparison to the tons of great exclusive games that the PS2 has. That's how I judge how worth it a console is, how many great exclusive titles that it has.
I totally agree with u on the part that this kind of discussion can make u appreciate more about some work/ product. But when it comes to the point in which after the discussion about the things I loved, I sometimes find it not as enjoyable anymore, same as u described at 4:48 . Then I ask myself: How come I can suddenly lose all that feeling? Did I lose the perspective that make me view the show as interesting? Or am I improving my taste/ judgement? But then I may not be happier this way, am I doing something incorrectly? All these questions make me very puzzled. Do u have an answer/ opinion on this situation?
Wow, you've been uploading a lot to this channel lately, awesome. Just wondering, didn't Trigun used to be one of your favourites? If it was, what made you move on from it into new territory?
yo I Believe that too that if, pricing people have the same values, that with the right knowledge that everyone will come to the same conclusions. only thing interfering with this resolution is wrong perspectives and emotion.
To be honest watching Reviews is not about convincing someone that your right or that the others are wrong but to show a different viewpoint on something and explained why it can be seen that way. It is the choice of the vieler if they want to change their mindset.
You should have a look at kiznaiver, i'm having a hard time figuring out what exactly it is I like about the show. Of course it looks beautiful and it has relatable character tropes that attach you to them. Basically I know I like the show, I just don't really know why. I think I just need an outside opinion to help me form, or put into words rather, my opinion. I also just really want to hear what you have to say about the show.
Ever heard of the backfire effect though? "When your deepest convictions are challenged by contradictory evidence, your beliefs get stronger." That's one problem I always have. Because you might think you made the best argument imaginable but if the opposition still disagrees it brings up the question of whether your opponent was just stupid and ignoring facts and logic or if your argument wasn't as good as you thought it was. It's always easier to just say your opponent was stupid and ignorant and from personal experience that's what usually happens when I debate someone I strongly disagree with, but I always consider and examine the latter and I think it's important everyone else does too. If your opponent DOES change their mind after you've made your argument it brings up two other possibilities to examine: Was your opponent just a misguided person capable of seeing reason and recognizing their own faults or were they weak minded and easily swayed? Again from personal experience I find the former to be the case generally but just like the first scenario it's important to consider and examine the latter. In other words: Self-awareness is key.
10/10 last two seconds of this video. The rest of the video: decent to strong 9. There's one anime I'd love to prove you wrong about. Though, that'd probably take a lot of effort, so don't expect a video from me for years at least. Incidentally, it's an anime that you rate 9/10 and think you don't love it _enough_. I'm weird. Whatever. Not mentioning what it is, because I don't want to start that discussion until it's in video analysis form.
This really but into words how I feel, at least about the things that I have a thorough understanding of. Which aren't all thay numerous cuz I'm not as smart as you.
I had a bully when I was in elementary school, but when I think back on it, I think he was bullying me for a purpose. I learned to chew food with my mouth closed, and not be fucking naive all the time.
Both were good consoles as someone who played both i never had a nerd defensive argument as a kid i feel incomplete then again i never defend shit in general but i enjoy people fighting over why things suck and why things are good and them comparing them without a single motive makes me find out about awesome stuff
the game cube is in a class of its own. you wouldn't have to twist my arm to get me to worship the immaculate game cube like master race elitists praise pc
I don't think a strong need to be understood is egotistical. I think its a gift, since you're actively trying to make life more wonderful. Egotistical would be if you're actively trying to crush everyone's needs to get your own needs met.
That guy that didn't like the gamecube called the gamecube a kiddy console but the PS2 had the first jack and daxter and ratchet and clank. Which is what I remember it for. Although I do like Ratchet and Clank 2 and 3. Those are just more "edgy" and "aduly". Which proves his argument but Ratchet and Clank is still great. I'm not entirely serious btw, as I know that this is relying on digis long term memory and the reliability of it is like a 60%.
Might be driven to make a katanagatari video at some point but I just noticed that it has a lot of similarities with furi so I might make a video about those 2 things I really like and use furi as a vehicle of comparison to prove katanagatari is good.
We did not want to be there.. CZcams was like "hey, digibro made a video, come check it out " and here we are... The place where you choose to monologue about your experiences is up to you, we are your semi-loyal subscribers, and therefore your captive audience for an undetermined amount of time. , we will take your content where we can get it even you choose to share it there. Just.... Just... Keep it clean, we all want to have a good ti,e here.
but you know, it's not about being right or wrong. when it comes to subjective things like stories, if someone else is trying to convince you that their opinion is valid, you'll NEVER be convinced if you dive in with a contentious mindset. no one can convince you of an opinion like they can convince you of a fact. you can only ever sympathize with their opinion if you actively, try to understand it, or if their opinion is already similar to yours to begin with
Whether someone chooses to change their mind is not entirely dependent on the quality of an opposing argument. Me, Digibro, and everybody in this comment section has biases that will never be overcome by argument, no matter how strong. For a person to claim otherwise is to claim that they truly are "objective," and I think most of us are in agreement about that. I respect the attempt to present a counterpoint to someone's analytical dislike, but the end goal of that counterpoint should not be to convince the person that their dislike is wrong, rather to present the opposing view so that a viewer can see which perspective makes more sense to them.
I feel like I watched this before via "On Narrative Youtubing, and Seeking Affirmation" except its much more condenced and egotistical...for lack of a better word? Was this intentional?
I recorded this just cause me and my friends were having a conversation about how mad we were about people being wrong about our favorite shows, and I thought it would make a nice vlog.
I have had you completely change my mind on an anime before. After your k-on! Videos I had an epiphany. Realizing its brilliance for the first time was incredible. I rushed straight to MAL, logged in and bumped it up from a 5 to a 6.
Love you Digi
That passive burn...I came.
I did too, only it was from a 6 to a 7
Yea, I totally get why digi likes it and the appeal of K-ON but at the same time I realise it's not for me.
My exact position too. I think the characters are very competently written, with traits that express themselves in both positive and negative ways. it's pretty close to believable.

So the way I picture it is, Digi has a camera in every room of his house, he's taking a shit in the bathroom, but then he gets an idea which requires his immediate attention, so he gets up, pants still around his ankles, and starts filming, cause shit can wait dammit.
We should all follow Digi's example. No more lost shower thoughts.
We should all follow Digi's example. No more lost shower thoughts.
I actually legit just recorded a video clip about how it's my dream to have cameras all over my house.
+Digibro Pics or it didn't happen.
Dammit.
Does that include outside his house too? Out on his porch or front door, gets an idea, and just starts filming right there? I wouldn't mind some outdoor Digi from time to time.
You should have filmed this while showering
Lewd!
Digi after dark indeed
+Limey Lassen I fucking lost it at your comment 😂😂😂
He still is though...
The last time I was THIS early, Digi was a brony
You somehow knew Digi would be recording in his bathroom and you couldn't wait a single second longer to watch it.
wait he was, relly?
+zombie_pegasus I guess I just thought he had better taste than that
Digi got started with mlp stuff. It's how he got noticed on the internet in the first place. He doesn't watch it anymore I'm pretty sure though. He was a huge fan of it back then.
+zombie_pegasus he actually changed it XD
"The Gamecube was an excellent console, so fuck off." Words to live by.
That was weird, I read this right when he said this
I KNEW IT. When I heard the echo, I was like "This is your bathroom isn't it. Oh god, is this a hentai? Did I click a hentai site link again? Redirect? NO!!!!"
YESSSSS!!!!! ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
the one click curse!!
Hahahah The One Click Curse! Hahahaha Milesthewarrior wins lmao
The Ego is strong with this one.
Let's be honest, we all think the way digi does sometimes. Digi's just up front about it.
exactly
#TrueFacts

Uhlersoth77
That's fair enough, I was generalising a bit - I think it's interesting that you watch digi for that, I'm quite similar!
I had both a gc and ps2. they're both great.
I agree.
the GameCube is better
when two things are good who cares which is better...
***** I was lucky to have both as a kid.
I Care
You've challenged me many times over the years with idea's and opinion's i still to this day reject with all of my being as wrong. But that being said you probably convinced me of just as many. Keep on sharing your core digi I wouldn't be who i am without it.
why are YOU in MY bathroom
Just want to say your 'Why Hunter x hunter kicks ass' video introduced me to my now absolute favorite Anime, thanks!
Same. I had heard so much praise directed towards the show, and I saw Digi's video on it, and that persuaded me to try out the show. Long story short, it's also become a favourite of mine.
Could you watch that video without seeing the anime and avoid spoilers? I.e major plot points or character moments?
iBenjamin1000 I watched it, but to be honest i wouldn't if i was you, just watch hxh, Hunter x hunter is Shonen at its perfection with the very best fights, characters and arcs in anime.
all of my favourite anime are shows that either I already liked that you made me feel extremely validated for enjoying or shows that I didn't care about that you convinced me were amazing.
You showed me the light with your k-on analysis and now it's my favourite.
And now I wait for an anime snob video
First of all: I think the question is why did you take us to your bathroom?

Having a good story and being a good game are not the same thing.

I feel the goal here should be to combat ignorance, to make sure as many people as possible understand what there is to each work, and how it can be interpreted.
I love this video. I totally feel the same way when I discuss topics with friends and others online. I also love the GameCube! You are a bro, Digibro!
I pretty much overanalyze everything I watch and read and am exposed to on the internet (As you said before I love it and I'd rather not turn my brain off, its just my default mode), and I always end up having very specific and very (how i feel) logical negative and/or positive opinions about the things that I watch. The thing is, I haven't really sat and thought about how or why I analyze so much, and I haven't really written any of it down, so I most of the time don't remember or don't bother to mark it as something I should write down so I often express these sentiments and end up unloading all of my uhm, over analysis even in casual conversations and most of my friends (excluding one) just stop responding to me because I guess I'm too much. But you like, perfectly word out the complete shitstorm of criticism of things in my head, so when I watch your videos I feel like I'm simultaneously listening to my own organized thoughts and also having a pleasantly energized conversation. Also how you feel about how you look at things is exactly how I feel about how I look at things. Sometimes I feel like my friends think I'm some giant egotistical pretentious nerd, but I'm really just trying to engage with my friends on a deeper level conversationally. I don't think theyre wrong (well maybe yes I do but I feel like thats sort of how opinions work), I just feel like they should maybe look at things beyond the surface. Thanks for helping me relate lmao.
Yo, man, I feel the same way. I ALWAYS want people to understand me and my opinions. That's EXACTLY why I have conversations about media with people, and try debating a refuting their opinion if I don't agree. And I ALWAYS know, if I think about it, I can find out why I disagree with someone or something and explain it. Usually, people end up understanding where I come from and we agree to have different view points. Sometimes people just say I wanna be right...well, yes, I would prefer if Im right most of the time. People say that as an excuse or escape when they cannot manage to convince me at all on their opinion, and I point out the flaws in it. That's the thing: I want to be right. But I don't HAVE to be right. I've had my mind changed plenty of times by people, but way more often than not, they fail, or rather, barely try to back their opinion, and describe their feelings for something. I've had similar instances to that too.
Relateable video. Wanting to understand others, and wanting people to understand yourself, are great reasons to make the videos you do.
Which is easier and harder to convince you of: convincing you that a thing you liked is worse than you thought, or that a thing that you hated is better than you thought?
I have never changed my mind because of one of your videos. I've disagreed with some of them, but since I don't make videos, it's hard to "try to change your mind" with comments. You are a writer, so you probably understand that writing has it's limitations. I guess my point is that you shouldn't only rely on the people around you to point out why you're wrong. Self-criticism is important as well.
Why would I ever care about someone else's opinion so badly that I want to make a whole video to prove him wrong? Sounds like a poor man's way of instant gratification.
Well having your own opinion changed by someone else's opinion can be really satisfying and profound, so there's inherent value in trying to change other people's opinions in order to have the same effect on them. I'm pretty sure that was a huge point of this video.
Making a video is far from instant.
If you think it's instant, you've obviously never edited something longer than 30 seconds.
This could almost make a good anime. A boy whose favorite thing is to prove him self right, but has a great appreciation for people who can do the same. But slowly learns...maybe he was wrong all along... then he gets trapped in a video game.
Before I saw your videos, I had just assumed K-ON! was just a bunch of vapid, shallow garbage. But after hearing your glowing praise of the show time after time, and after seeing what KyoAni is capable of with Hibike, I decided I'd add it to my list of shows to try. I'm excited to watch it after I finish Gurren Lagann.
''It is not as good as Hibike'' - everyone except Digi.
+ハリケーン北極 Fuck your shit Haruhi is great and Kyon best MC
ハリケーン北極
Yeah, Hibike's no masterpiece, but it was a solid 6.5 imo. I've found that I'm pretty weak to cute girls who might be into each other, though, so that might be where we differ.
+ハリケーン北極 Haruhi is best girl
Damn Digi pumping out videos left and right
Conclusion: Digibro is in the running for "Most Stubborn Person in the World"
We still love you Digi.
I think it's a really cool mindset because it gets people to actively communicate with you and raise an argument not just have a baseless opinion but form an air-tight argument so people can engage in a civil back and forth
While I agree with most of what shows you like and dislike, after I watch a video you do on a show I haven't watched or finished, I definitely put it at the top of my list to watch. And also to use your arguments to defend shows I like and tell other people why they are wrong through your words. Praise be to Digi.
"Why are you in my bathroom?"
Because I wanted to hear your words of wisdom.
The game cube has Metroid Prime 1/2 and Eternal Darkness, therefore the gamecube is obviously better.
Anyway, this sounds a lot like a super villain origin story. Now you just need to get super powers.
I feel the same way about Dragon Ball Z that you do about K on
K-On girls cosplaying as the Z-Fighters. Now, THAT is something.
Or Z-Fighters cosplaying as K-On girls. :D
Exactly. It grinds my gears when people make jokes about it. I'm sure you know the jokes I'm talking about.
I remember when i got a gamecube i was young and had no taste so the only good game i had for a long while was Paper Mario.
When i watch your last video, watch all of FLCL, and come back to find this one. Great night!
To answer your question, I was taking a really big and unnecessary shit on Clannad at 3:00am when you walked in and just started talking. I didn't leave because your story sounded interesting.
I usually just enjoy watching. I don't reflect enough to know if it's changing my mind or to what extent.
"Obessingly proving you're wrong since 2001" is a great tag line.
Digibro, I understand that you really like anime, and I really appreciate your content.
But you have so much knowledge about analysis that I'd really like to see you branch out.
Whenever you make stuff about video games, I really like it.
I think digi talked about branching out in the future. I think he just knows anime the most and has a bunch of stuff to still talk about with anime. Maybe once he gets his house studio up and running he will branch out more.
"If you disagree with me you're wrong" - Digibri in a nutshell
The gamecube had many of the classic resident evil games, that kid was a moron.
"Why am I even in my bathroom anyway?"
-> To Be Continued...
I'd like to see you make a vlog as to why you like the game cube, because I also hate it. It has like 7 worthwile exclusive games that I can think of, Metroid Prime, Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, (the first four aren't exclusive anymore, but they were at the time), Paper Mario, Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door, and Super Mario RPG, in comparison to the tons of great exclusive games that the PS2 has. That's how I judge how worth it a console is, how many great exclusive titles that it has.
nice broccoli cut, you game assassin
Glad it's the weekend and I can keep up with this upload frequency.
the realization of this being shot in the bathroom at the end of the piece just blew my mind.
The ending was funny, please try more like that
How did I jumped from a Hot Chip song to here?
Damn, YT's recommendations cray af.
I totally agree with u on the part that this kind of discussion can make u appreciate more about some work/ product. But when it comes to the point in which after the discussion about the things I loved, I sometimes find it not as enjoyable anymore, same as u described at 4:48 . Then I ask myself: How come I can suddenly lose all that feeling? Did I lose the perspective that make me view the show as interesting? Or am I improving my taste/ judgement? But then I may not be happier this way, am I doing something incorrectly?
All these questions make me very puzzled. Do u have an answer/ opinion on this situation?
The only reason I watched my favorite anime ever is because of your show so good job
I love what you did in the ending! XD
I actually really hate to admit it but, I feel the same way as you do. Our thoughts ain't exactly the same but, that's that.
You've only ever shat on the things I don't like so please carry on Digi. Also thanks for defending k-on.
BECAUSE I'M PLAYING WITH MYSELF *Proceeds to insert and reinsert hand in a bowl of jell-o, making lewd sound effects*
Wow, you've been uploading a lot to this channel lately, awesome.
Just wondering, didn't Trigun used to be one of your favourites? If it was, what made you move on from it into new territory?
Growing up with both the PS2 and Gamecube, I have to say they're both pretty good. Besides, the Gamecube has Pikmin and Animal Crossing.
I would have never watched K-On without you bro lol
Could you make a list of your favorite youtubers?
yo I Believe that too that if, pricing people have the same values, that with the right knowledge that everyone will come to the same conclusions. only thing interfering with this resolution is wrong perspectives and emotion.
DigiNanoha used friendship laser, it was super effective!
To be honest watching Reviews is not about convincing someone that your right or that the others are wrong but to show a different viewpoint on something and explained why it can be seen that way. It is the choice of the vieler if they want to change their mindset.
that ending was unexpected digi's been influenced by someone again
You should have a look at kiznaiver, i'm having a hard time figuring out what exactly it is I like about the show. Of course it looks beautiful and it has relatable character tropes that attach you to them. Basically I know I like the show, I just don't really know why. I think I just need an outside opinion to help me form, or put into words rather, my opinion. I also just really want to hear what you have to say about the show.
Ever heard of the backfire effect though? "When your deepest convictions are challenged by contradictory evidence, your beliefs get stronger." That's one problem I always have. Because you might think you made the best argument imaginable but if the opposition still disagrees it brings up the question of whether your opponent was just stupid and ignoring facts and logic or if your argument wasn't as good as you thought it was. It's always easier to just say your opponent was stupid and ignorant and from personal experience that's what usually happens when I debate someone I strongly disagree with, but I always consider and examine the latter and I think it's important everyone else does too. If your opponent DOES change their mind after you've made your argument it brings up two other possibilities to examine: Was your opponent just a misguided person capable of seeing reason and recognizing their own faults or were they weak minded and easily swayed? Again from personal experience I find the former to be the case generally but just like the first scenario it's important to consider and examine the latter. In other words: Self-awareness is key.
Jesus fuck Digi, it's 3:00 am. You're going to keep me up all night.
i's always 3 am somewhere
+shmitty warbermanjensen "it's high noon somewhere in the world"
Digi's starting to wake up. He's finally seeing "The Audience." The camera has never been rolling. He's simply been broadcasting. It begins now...
0:44 - 1:03 Best description of the internet ever.
Digibro rarely convinces me if a specific show is good or not, although what he did convince me of is to start watching anime.
10/10 last two seconds of this video.
The rest of the video: decent to strong 9.
There's one anime I'd love to prove you wrong about. Though, that'd probably take a lot of effort, so don't expect a video from me for years at least. Incidentally, it's an anime that you rate 9/10 and think you don't love it _enough_. I'm weird. Whatever. Not mentioning what it is, because I don't want to start that discussion until it's in video analysis form.
This really but into words how I feel, at least about the things that I have a thorough understanding of. Which aren't all thay numerous cuz I'm not as smart as you.
I had a bully when I was in elementary school, but when I think back on it, I think he was bullying me for a purpose. I learned to chew food with my mouth closed, and not be fucking naive all the time.
i yet need someone to convince me school days isnt one of the best animes ever
Both were good consoles as someone who played both i never had a nerd defensive argument as a kid i feel incomplete then again i never defend shit in general but i enjoy people fighting over why things suck and why things are good and them comparing them without a single motive makes me find out about awesome stuff
Hey Digitalbrother, this Emotional Core anime sounds pretty cool where can I download it?
the game cube is in a class of its own. you wouldn't have to twist my arm to get me to worship the immaculate game cube like master race elitists praise pc
I don't think a strong need to be understood is egotistical. I think its a gift, since you're actively trying to make life more wonderful.
Egotistical would be if you're actively trying to crush everyone's needs to get your own needs met.
Some people just don't give enough of a fuck to actually convince someone.
That guy that didn't like the gamecube called the gamecube a kiddy console but the PS2 had the first jack and daxter and ratchet and clank. Which is what I remember it for. Although I do like Ratchet and Clank 2 and 3. Those are just more "edgy" and "aduly". Which proves his argument but Ratchet and Clank is still great. I'm not entirely serious btw, as I know that this is relying on digis long term memory and the reliability of it is like a 60%.
that ending was hilarious!
Marvelous ending
Might be driven to make a katanagatari video at some point but I just noticed that it has a lot of similarities with furi so I might make a video about those 2 things I really like and use furi as a vehicle of comparison to prove katanagatari is good.
that last line killed me. XD
We did not want to be there.. CZcams was like "hey, digibro made a video, come check it out " and here we are... The place where you choose to monologue about your experiences is up to you, we are your semi-loyal subscribers, and therefore your captive audience for an undetermined amount of time. , we will take your content where we can get it even you choose to share it there.
Just.... Just... Keep it clean, we all want to have a good ti,e here.
I had both. I give it to the ps2. I played more games on the ps2 although i really liked the few games i played in the GameCube.
ThatAnimeSnob, yo dude I like your videos fam, oh wait this is his clone.
I'm in your bathroom because you put me here.
man I woke up here, I just assumed you read my erotic request letter and my dream was coming true
I've been waiting forever to be in your bathroom, don't deny me glory.
but you know, it's not about being right or wrong. when it comes to subjective things like stories, if someone else is trying to convince you that their opinion is valid, you'll NEVER be convinced if you dive in with a contentious mindset. no one can convince you of an opinion like they can convince you of a fact. you can only ever sympathize with their opinion if you actively, try to understand it, or if their opinion is already similar to yours to begin with
Whether someone chooses to change their mind is not entirely dependent on the quality of an opposing argument. Me, Digibro, and everybody in this comment section has biases that will never be overcome by argument, no matter how strong. For a person to claim otherwise is to claim that they truly are "objective," and I think most of us are in agreement about that. I respect the attempt to present a counterpoint to someone's analytical dislike, but the end goal of that counterpoint should not be to convince the person that their dislike is wrong, rather to present the opposing view so that a viewer can see which perspective makes more sense to them.
I feel like I watched this before via "On Narrative Youtubing, and Seeking Affirmation" except its much more condenced and egotistical...for lack of a better word?
Was this intentional?
I recorded this just cause me and my friends were having a conversation about how mad we were about people being wrong about our favorite shows, and I thought it would make a nice vlog.
***** ...So at what point is your "breaking point" where you just give up explaining yourself because its not worth getting mad over? (just curious)
there's a gureen lagaan drill parallel here but Fuck I'm too tired to line the dots
Felt like I was actually there
And still to this day more people are playing with the gc than ps2. And the gc has one of the biggest fgc communities in the world. Lamzo
Am i the only one that got Vsauce feel from this video?
