Hi, I music directed that animator dormitory project! Thank you SO much for spotlighting it, it truly means the world. Animators in Japan face grueling workloads, tiny paychecks, and absolutely devastating struggles to follow their dreams and create the art we all know and love. Your support is deeply appreciated, and I am truly grateful to everyone who takes the time to support these artists!
Right now jujutsu kaisen is a really fun anime to watch for me but nothing out of this world like many manga reader said will something happen that will change my mind ?
Man I'm surprised Talentless Nana got an anime, I remember reading the manga a few years back and thinking it was too dark for TV, goes to show how the anime landscape has changed
I was absolutely floored by Akudama Drive’s beautiful ending. I felt like I just walked out of a movie theatre and was just left with silence. The whole thing is an eyegasm, especially with the motorcycle scenes, and I am amazed with what Studio Pierrot can put their minds to when their animators aren’t subjected to long running anime budgets. Everything seemed to click with this anime (apart from perhaps the opening idk it wasn’t my thing). Definitely top 5 in my favorite anime of 2020 because of how unique and fun it was.
Bro. I just watched Akudama Drive's first episode and it has some insanely stunning shots. It kinda feels to me like AoT and Jojo had a neo-noir lovechild and I am here for it.
“It’s like the Peach sections in Paper Mario, if Princess Peach was a narcoleptic axe murderer” Watched the first 2 episodes. Can confirm. She kills literally dozens of residents to get materials for her bed.
That...sounds...amazing! Gonna need to put that on my watchlist if I could stop watching RU-vid all the time and actually watch these streaming services I pay for. I don't know why I do this, lol...
@@hexnight The hero will probably reach the castle just to be brutally mutilated by princess who noticed that he has some good dang fabric on his clothes
I just kicked 300 toward the new animator project. It's a good cause, plus some of the names attached to it? Casey Lee Williams? Kevin Penkin? Insaneintherainmusic? Adrisaurus? It's insane
@@mothersbasement Just change the name of the channel to "Girlfriend's Garage" - I'm Geoff Thew, professional shit bag, singing out, from my Girlfriend's Garage.
I love the concept of having a villain who does bad to achieve good and justice, that the ends justifies the means from Moriarty. However, they’ve got a lot of the architecture all wrong and I can’t ignore it. The gargoyles are the sort you would see on Notre dame, not London and many building are mainland European, some of which I’ve definitely seen in Prague
@@lalalei8112 there's a few inaccuracies that a manga/anime managed to justify within the context of the story or too small to notice and then there's a LOT of inaccuracies front and center that the manga/anime failed to justify properly in story. Moriarty the Patriot unfortunately falls onto the latter category. The anime doesn't go far enough yet, but the manga depends too much on the inaccuracies for their plot that the story became garbage because of it. Some stuff you can handwave like Moriarty being able to target prominent upper class families without explicit repercussions or the character designs being standard bishie, but you can't handwave stuff like SMGs and Queen's black ops team - those things are only available during/after WW2. That breaks SoD like nobody's business, and as of now Moriarty is more or less a normal human being. No secret demonic heritage whatsoever. This might pass back in the early 2000's or whatever, but this is the year of 2020, where there are plenty of materials on Victorian era England available for free on the internet. Heck there's plenty of stories expanding on Moriarty's character out there that's far more interesting than this manga. This sort of lazy ass writing is just unacceptable. Production IG tried their best, but the source material is shit in the first place - not their fault.
@@norasyikinali6283 I read the manga. Sad to see that literally about 4 pages of manga turns you off from a manga with hundreds of pages. Well there is the character art too, but that’s mostly preference imo. It does have it flaws which hinders it, I completely agree, those 4 pages weird me out too. It’s my understanding tho that unless flaws really digs deep in to the plot then it’s still worth reading. So I would say for many it would still be a great read spending on your tolerances.
Akudama Drive: you can definitely tell someone on their writing teams loves 90s films given the Episode names too - all fantastic movies mentioned so far by the way imo (ie, Se7en, Reservoir Dogs, Mission: Impossible).
From MB's description of the show I think I'm not going to watch it. It sounds great, but not my cup of tea. I mean, if you decided to marry a girl, you don't drop-out of school, you make sure to finish so you can support her. Also ridiculous rom-coms like this are not what I usually go for.
@@zidaryn i get that you dont want to watch it but heres some detail about him dropping out. A. he can pretty much get into any university if he takes his final exams because he a knows everything and even more than what they teach in HS B. when he was searching for the girl trough work he was working 0-24 and he didnt have time to spend that money so he is quite wealthy (the math doesnt really add up but i just let it slide)
@@Neoxon619 yeah that and food but (i just looked it up) rent prices are pretty tame unless you live in a city center or something. The average is around 50000-70000 (roughly 500-700euros/dollars) a month. + Lets 75% of the bills (isnt home most of the time to average electricity, uses much less water because of the nearby bathouse and he is getting his laundry done for free (it should be in anime at this point why), gas.... well idk) + food and his monthly expenses end up around 70-90k yen a month. (Edit: Ok nvm i fricked up at converting the prices to my money and instead of multiplying by 3 i divided (thats why i said, for example, that the rent prices are tame). So yeah math still doesnt add up how he saved up that amount of money)
I'm so glad you featured Moriarty the Patriot, It been a while since Ive seen a good dark non-horror anime mixed with the beautiful classical music and historical setting. Hoping it get more famous so I see much more of it in the future
The con artist anime he recommended sounded more like it since cold calculating murder wasn't their MO, though it was raised as a possibility a couple of times.
Hmm~~ Ikebukuro West Gate Park, a gangster story too. I highly recommend it, the MC is smart and mature, the characters are enjoyable too. If you enjoy Durarara! I recommend this series, based on a real novel
Tbh it has alot of issues and nana is just unenjoyable her personality is comparable to chalk on a board shes a good villain not a good anti hero getting so much screen time from her is boring. Also the show subverts expectation but in an unsatisfying way. Put simply everyone in the show is fucking stupid. Including nana. However its a very interesting theme and idea and kyo is fun so its still good just not as good as it could be.
@@albertozalon8477 thats the point of this anime. Just because we are a watcher we dont get the luxury to know everything abt her. We are also like a side character, who just watches her move around. We dont know alot abt her because it is ment to be that way, we also see her actions just as everyone else we dont know when she lies or pulls a stunt before she says she did.
"I love stories like this: of unwitting individuals caught up in political machinery and chains of causality far too immense and chaotic to comprehend or control, cascading out from seemingly insignificant coincidences toward destinies greater and darker than they could have ever imagined." yo that is some sexy word play right there. Im salivating!
It's the only show I make sure to watch AS SOON as it's available every week. I'm sure everything listed here is technically better, but nothing else makes me happier than HypMic.
@JustAnotherGoose It's because it's so stupid that I love it. I can't help but get hype and laugh when people threateningly take out microphones like it's a gun, or how every rap battle ends with a high level destructive spell blowing people up. Even the stupid characters are so beyond parody that I end up loving it.
Burn the witch looked visually great but the story actually shown was a thousand miles wide and an inch deep. I'm sure the source material has some great lore and depth, but the actual movie/OVA was barely even a cock tease.
Funniest part is how Moriarty got you interested with an anime only introduction 🤭 from someone who's been following the manga for long, you might wanna keep watching 🤗
If you have trouble pronounciating _Magatsu Warheit Zuerst_, then I have a littel guide for you: Wahrheit - You can split it up into Vah (or Wa like in Watashi [google translate might help]) and hide but with a hard T: Vah-hide Zuerst - Just say Tsu, then air (but don't put too much emphasis on the r) and then put a st like in stick at the end: Tsu-air-st The Whole thing should sound like _Vah-hide Tsu-air-st_ (or you could just call it Truth First since that's what it is when translated to English).
Thank you for mentioning Magatsu Wahrhiet, Moriarty the Patriot, and Akudama Drive because these are hands down my favorites of this season. Heck, I'm willing to say Moriarty might be my favorite of the whole year.
Honestly the last episode made me a lot more interested in the series, I like that the show isn’t just her going to different places solving their problems. Her being just a watching traveler makes the show more interesting to me at least
For me it's realistic journey, not every place is happy. There's dark, wholesome, romantic and emotional story, tbh, the recent episode make me hooked more to the series
Talentless Nana tries to be like Death Note and Promised Neverland and even succeeds to some extent in the beginning, but eventually deus ex machinas ruin it
I literally didn't care about anything this season beyond the sure things of Fire Force and Higurashi until I watched this. Your recommendations haven't ever steered me wrong and have settled me on some that I was on the fence about. I'll probably be picking up Akudama, Moriarty, and Sleepy Princess now due to you.
Moriarty really surprised me at how good the first episode was. It makes me sad though coz it definitely looks like production IG put more effort into this than Noblesse 😔
Inuyasha is my favourite anime of All-time. Yashahime is like god coming down to me and saying. "Y'know what Drew, you deserve to be happy. Here's an Inuyasha and Higurashi sequel"
@@mrmoviemanic1 Yeah, Inuyasha was my favorite aside from FLCL as a kid in the era of toonami, My daughter loved it and so far Yashahime has a great look and feel it's different but very much a continuation of Inuyasha.
Didnt even finish it i dropped it close to the ending and i have never watch any movies on inuyasha ... i love Yashahime i see at as a new anime itself its great
Akudama Drive - ALL the neon! Easily the most stylish show this season, and I'm so here for any show inspired by Tarantino films. Hard for Pierrot to screw up an adaptation when there's nothing to adapt.
I didn’t actually realize how much i’ve been enjoying Sleepy Princess until you started talking about it and i began HEEHEEHEE-ing like a madman 😋 That and Tonikawa are my faves of the season, and i think Tonikawa’s OP is best OTS, maaaaaaybe even OTY 😁
As stellar as it was in almost every way, I still can't forgive it for the dumbest plot development known to man in the final episode. I can't think of any other show that had my opinion turn on it so hard and so quickly.
chapters: 0:00 Intro + Animator Dormitory Spot 2:55 Jujutsu Kaisen 5:54 Talentless Nana 8:16 Dragon Quest: Dai no Daibouken 10:38 Sleepy Princess in the Demon Castle 13:15 Magatsu Warheit Zuerst 16:10 Moriarty the Patriot 18:08 Tonikawa: Over the Moon For You 20:33 Adachi and Shimamura 22:41 The Day I Became a God 25:02 Akudama Drive 28:03 bonus: Higurashi & Yashahime
This new season I’ve literally only watched the new Love Live spin-off and now about to start Adachi to Shimamura. I have priorities and those priorities are *lesbians*
I will rally as many people as I have to to make this Kickstarter happen, I will scour the web, dude. THIS is what the anime industry so sorely needs right now. It needs a studio to be formed with this ethical foundation in mind, that is savvy and modern enough to take advantage of the internet and digital infrastructure, and to use it to raise funding for projects and to consolidate talent. *THANK YOU for bringing attention to it, Geoff.*
So I just checked out talentless Nana and I'm stressed as hell. I'm not saying anything else. if you skipped past to avoid any slight details like Jeff said go watch it immediately
Fun fact: Dragon Quest: Dai no Daibouken already had an animated adaptation way back when (91-92) and is based on a manga started in 89, so yeah, it absolutely is old school JRPG. And from what I can see here it follows the manga very closely.

This is such a good cause! Animators really need better working conditions, especially in japan! I really hope they can be a sparkle with will better and change the animators life.
The adachi and shinamura light novel struck a chord with me. It's one of those high school shows where the characters really do act like authentic hs students. I am a troubled teen myself and learning how to navigate my emotions and the world, and I relate to the main characters in ways I haven't seen depicted much before. Definitely recommend the series :)
Higurashi really was a blast with it's first episode and the trailer that released where the name "Gou" came up for the first time. It lead to fierce discussions if Gou can be watched without knowledge of the franchise, or if the first seasons should be watched first. Not to mention the discussion if it's a sequel, a remake or something else. It basically kicked off a civil war within the Higurashi community, and I absolutely love that. I'm just happy that Higurashi is back.
ETA: to know the whole of the world of the show, and the general pitch of the show actually, the first two episodes are needed. You kinda can't just watch episode 1 and expect to know what this show is about. This video got me to try episode 1 of Talentless Nana blind and that was a good idea. I have more of an eye for Shoujo tropes than Shonen, and legit thought it was going to be a normal, if darker, worldbuilding wise, Shonen. Try it blind if you can!
@@KuronoXD edit to add, I wrote the second paragraph after watching the first episode, then watched episode 2 and realized that both are important for the world of the show, so I edited my comment because that info was important for the recommendation if someone's watching blind
I'm so glad to see you shine spotlight on the inadequacies of the animation industry. Instant donation to the kickstarter from me. Really hope to see it flourish.
If Dragon Quest follow the manga faithfully it's going to be really really awesome, I haven't read the manga in a long time so seeing an anime of it is freaking epic :)
@@Terror0619 he didn't included in the lis last year, , but he later made a video about why it's so great and asked for fogivens for skipping it, (that's the joke)
Ah! They made an anime out of Sleepy Princess? That seemed super neat to me when i read about the manga but i havent read it, im excited to try the anime!
Yeah, Geoff should have made a more in deep research about Dai no Daibouken. The first series is an absolute classic that unfortunately was left unfinished (and was one of the first anime I saw in the 90's), and that the manga is finally receiving a new edition for a new generation. Hear he say "Oh, there's a guy with magic and a girl with a magic gun in the op", was equal to hear someone describing Yuyu hakusho saying "oh, there's a girl in a flying broom and, a guy with rose whip and another one with a Tenshinhan jagan in the op"...
15:06 One of the greatest sentences in anime reviewer history. Truly, a master of his craft and deserving of his newly obtained ranking by The Top Tens.
Thank you so much for advertising the Kickstarter at the beginning of the video! I’m really happy to see steps being taken to create a healthier environment for the animators that make so much of the media we enjoy on a regular basis!
Just finished Akadama Drive and was looking to see if you did a review. I was only planning to watch an ep or 2 each day as I watch other things, but ended up finishing it in one day. So good!
@@Red_Anon Ik how you feel Spoiler alert: He’s still alive but not coming back this season and you should carry on watching the anime and go read the manga it’s pretty interesting
For anyone who likes Clannad, Angel Beats, Little Busters or Charlotte, watch The Day I Became A God. It feels so much like Charlotte and it's beautiful so far.
Ok, I was originally planning to just sleep on Akudama Drive but for some reason, that plot description just convinced me to add it to my watch list. This is gonna be fun.
