What Anime Should YOU Watch In: SUMMER 2019‽ 

I'd say Dr. Stone deserves a watch solely because they were brave enough to broadcast a gunpowder recipe to the Japanese audience.

*puts Dr.Stone and Fire Force on skip* Screaming incomming

*Puts Dr. Stone on skip* *The ground shakes as one thousand angry comments start approaching* It was nice to meet you my dude...

"Your mileage may vary but gas is expensive and it's best not to waste it" -Explanation point 2019.

*watches video* oh god the comments are gonna crucify him even with the disclaimers

'This anime sucks and Cop Craft did it better and that sucked. Next, Cop Craft." I had to double take on that one.

NOTE: VERY IMPORTANT! Do not watch do you love your mom and her 2 hit multi-target attacks with your mom. This is for your own good and if you have may god have mercy on your soul.

How do u skip dr.stone, but test multi-hit mom?

We love a man that uses an interabang in his title.

Congratulations *Y O U N G M A L E*

>The first one of these is my least watched video How can that be I respect your opinion more than most other anime youtubers out there >skip to machikado mazoku and doctor stone ...O-oh...

Skipping Dr. Stoned is SUCH a bad decision, you can't even imagine. Also, this entire video is evidence in support of the good ol' 3 episode test for most anime.

Nobody: Literally nobody in the world: Explanation point: Skip Dr.Stone

I love you man, but your score on Dr. Stone is evidence for why you shouldn't judge a whole show by the first episode alone.

You know, I would write a long comment about how El-Melloi II Case Files is actually the best anime this season and possibly of this entire year, but then he said that he hadn't seen fate and everything suddenly made sense And to answer the question, Rail Zepplin is a train and not an Airship. And no, we don't know why it's called that either.

Your video always manages to show perfectly why just the first episode of an anime is not enough to judge them, as you both misjudge Dr. Stone and Demon Girl Next Door, as well as Granbelm. Your first impressions for all of them don't at all match what the shows actually are. That's the nature of this video I suppose, but oh well.

"No, actually just the Briarwoods" That reference killed me dude.

Oh, dude, you have NO IDEA what you’re missing with Dr. Stone. It’s based off of an incredibly popular Shonen Jump manga, and it’s actually pretty fantastic.

Please Explanation Point, for the love of all that is loly. Stop using premiere. Now I have to remind myself to dig into my sub channels to find your video when it'll be released because RU-vid doesn't "refresh" it to the top of my subs when you actually release. Pretty sure you're missing out on quite a few views.

I dont really care what your opinion of any given anime is (I mean as demonstrated by your review of Dr. Stone, you're clearly wrong), but your writing style and narration and editing style is what Im here to enjoy

also a warning: for my daughter is a grooming show. be aware.

Please give Dr. Stone a try! It´s so damn good once it gets rolling. (and that really doesnt take long!)

OH! That critical role reference was on point! 10/10

Machikado Mazoku is really good actually, though it doesn't look good from the first episode. It's very wholesome and strong

You were right, you did get one wrong. Doctor stone is great! Edit: Fire force too, also very good!

Really hate the premiere system.

Huh, I'm really surprised by your verdict on Fire Force. I was super hooked by the first episode, and 7 episodes in I'm really loving it.

Hype. I loved reading the script and now I can’t wait to hear the voice for it. Never gonna stop supporting you Bryant.

Glad to see araburu kisetsu in the thumbnail. I’m REALLY enjoying it so far.

I really enjoy your analysis style. You try to be objective but also mention your biases off the cuff. I really respect that. Keep up the great work and i hope your move goes smoothly

You should atleast give Machikado Mazoku another try. The premise drew me in at first but I stayed for the cute character interactions. And despite what you said about stretching the premise, it seems like there is going to be an actual serious plot soon judging from the latest episodes

"This has been explanation point... selling out!" Made me chuckle. Nice that you get some extra support, though.

Dumbbell Non Kilo Moteru?,,,,,,,,,, Skip????????? man you got to kidding me. please watch more episodes.

Really cool to see another of these. The last one was very fun and one can’t ever get enough of the patent pending explanation point snark

While I enjoyed it, this video to me is the perfect example for the Madoka rule (in a lot of cases). Would be interesting if you made a video about which shows you actually watched.

9:05 I would just like to point out that Senku doesn't have E=MC^2 on his shirt just cause, he actually wrote it on there with his own blood because he realized for him to have the energy to be conscious for 3,700 year, the petrification would have to use matter to supply him with enough energy to think for all those years, hence E=MC^2, or rather Energy=Mass x The Speed of Light ^2

I'll jump on the "continue Dr. Stone" bandwagon. Highly recommend, up to the next few episodes, know that it makes some huge changes in direction starting around episode 7. Focusing more on rebuilding civilization as fast as humanly possible.

Number 17: nononononono! It goes full on grooming fantasy dont, don't test don't look in it's direction RUN AWAY!

I still don’t understand the idea behind these videos: they come out in the middle of the season, so half the episodes are already out, but you only watch one and say „who knows how it goes from here“. If it were super early in the season and only judge the show on the 2 Episodes that are out, ok. If you would watch more than the first 10 minutes and would talk about what you liked and disliked when the season is (almost) over, ok. But this format just doesn’t make sense to me, especially because I like your more analytical videos and this is just 30 minutes wasted.

From what I've seen, Doctor Stone is really really great, and fire force also looks like it will be good

I love these types of videos!! I missed your fast-paced banter its so good

As somebody who watched a video by super eyepatch wolf once, i can tell you that apparently Dr. Stone does indeed get much better later on.

You should have a Taliesin cameo in every video. Everyone should have a Taliesin cameo in every video tbqfh fam.

I love that you have basically the diametrically opposite opinion of Gigguk.

With TeamFourStar's Anime FMK gone, I am overjoyed you made this video. Thanks a bunch for the suggestions and putting in the time to look at all this stuff.

ExPoint, your sponsorship sections are consistently hilarious. Becoming a soulless corporate sellout has never been more amusing!

I'm taking note that I can fuse question marks and exclamation points. I won't confirm nor deny that I will use them for nefarious purposes.

Always good to see new stuff from you Thanks for the video

That sponsorship ad was glorious, I applaud you sir

I think I speak for everyone here when I say, "You are wrong on just about every point, and the pure fury I feel at your poor taste has caused me to literally ignite and burn my house down."

Very interesting and the most helpful thing since you also list the Japanese names of the shows, which makes it easier to find

The fact that Dr Stone was put on skip kinda shows why you cannot make a judgement on the first episode. Honestly it makes sense that the better shows have less engaging first episodes, because the first episode needs to establish and set up so many things before it can go on to be actual entertainment

I feel like we’re slowly watching your decent into madness and it’s great 😂

I fully disagree with about 80% of what you said, like

Great stuff! Love your vids!

Very good video. P.s. when the new video about AoT after s3 ended? How changed your idea abot the series now that most of the problems from s1 are explained and resolved?

El-Melloi II Case Files is a Sequel to Fate:Zero, as it stars one of the main characters from that fate iteration; much of Waver's(the main guy) motivation comes directly from the events of Fate/Zero. Its also a prequel to Fate Stay Night, although thats less important. The series is more of a magical detective type story for much of whats shown so far. In terms of your other recommendations, I agree with a lot of them, but as others have said, Doctor Stone is very much a watch this season. The main character comes off as an edgy asshole for a bit, but like most good characters, he has depth which makes his attitude a lot more understandable and likeable as the show goes on. Im on the fence about fire force myself, having caught up to it recently. When its good, its good. When its bad, its really, really bad. I audibly groaned when an accidental grope scene happened, and even the characters themselves are aware that this particular character is prone to such things happening frequently. Its definitely one of those shows that you watch for the underlining mystery rather than the characters(although I do like most of the main characters). Okaa-san online is super fun in a sort of trashy way. Like it definitely seems aware of the tropes of the isekai genre, and goes out of its way to subvert them, or use them creatively. Such as the game literally being a power fantasy made for Moms instead of teenage boys. Or how they were in such a rush to get the game out of an alpha state that most of the npc's dont even have detailed models. But then theres trashy fanservice scenes with the mom, which was expected. Its a good drunk watch I guess.

yikes. almost all of the shows i liked are on your drop list ad your watch and test list is basicly ma drop list... i guess that happend

8:41 Episode 7 begins the good part.

So the show you are wrong about is Dr. Stone. If you like the RU-vid channel Primative Technology, it's that but shonen. The characters develop nicely as the show progresses, and the seemingly superfluous "E=mc^2" on Senku's collar is explained (and it's a good-ass explanation)

Dr Stone is accurately described as: Primitive Technology the shounen anime and one of the characters is a so over the top good guy idealist that he ends up being pretty bad (way to hell, good intentions and stuff) I like it a lot.

I was really enjoying If It's For My Daughter: the Manga, but people who read the light novels apparently say it goes down the Usagi Drop route which is... incredibly disappointing

Did this man just really skip Dr.Stone? it's not amazing, but holy shit a total SKIP??!?! Edit: He also gave Fire Force a skip. Yup, this is a certified bruh moment.

hi. amidst the very scathing comments id like to thank you for recommending o maidens, it’s seriously underrated and did wonders to my weak, weak heart.

*"I literally watched the wrong show because I was paying so little attention"* This is an apt summation of the rigor behind most of the takes

I'm curious how large the backlash for some of these skips will be.

For anyone complaining about his format, keep this in mind: Before scirpting, editing or anything like that, he has to watch 26 episodes. That's a full 2 seasons of an anime. Complaining that he didn't give stuff like Dr. Stone more than one episode to impress him is ridiculous, because he'd have to watch 52 or 78 episodes to properly judge things, which for one video is utterly ridiculous. Also keep in mind that for each show he has to script, record and edit, each of which could take hours per show, and he has to drop the video before the end of the season. He has 90 days to do this, and because of the long nature of these videos, he often has other stuff come up while watching. The point is that he only watches one episode because he only has time for one episode.

"I'll get one thing very wrong" >Dr Stone - Skip Also Cop Craft's nice pacing, action and storytelling go right down the shitter a few episodes in in an absolutely spectacular fashion.

You are so insanely wrong about Dr. Stone.

It premieres in 4 hours and yet I'm staring at the screen as if it were to start in 4 minutes...

I am going to go watch O Maidens right now... You kinda sold me on that one.

Yessss!!! Given is the shit I love it and it only gets better

I need a clip of just the ensemble stars section, I couldn't stop laughing well past that and had to go back for the next one.

“I expect there to be one show I would be very wrong on” 9:34 yep

16:12 . I was pleasantly surprised to hear a golden time lover instead of some OP I didn’t even know.

Dr. Stone is one of, if not, the best Shonen ongoing right now, especially the manga which has a great artist with a distinct art style. I highly recommend giving it a few more episodes.

Of the ones I'm watching that you listed, since I'm caught up on the ones I'm watching Astra - Watch. It's a slow burn that builds off the interpersonal relationships that get built up throughout the show. The most recent episode included a HUGE twist reveal (that you'll see coming if you put some thought in it) that may or may not explain why the plot is what it is. Dr. Stone - Totes worth it. The guy writing the Manga makes a point of /knowing his shit/ which is why Senku tends to go on for too long, sometimes. That said, very early in the manga's life, they found out that Senku, Taiju, and Yuzuriha weren't going to be able to carry the series as the protags, so they shifted gears and introduced a whole village that had not been stoned (which does get explained later; said explanation bothers me as it doesn't seem to work, but whatever I've moved past it sense the series also has a guy who one-punched a lion). ANYWAYS, long story short, as soon as Senku gets to the village and the far better characters there, the show improves vastly, because it starts actually giving him goals that have to do with more than just basic survival and people to play off of who are actually interesting. Fire Force - I am Shounen trash, so of course I'm watching and enjoying the riding here. It's not going to go for anything super deep from a storytelling perspective, but the powers will be fun, as evidenced by the guy who literally carries a tuba around to convert fire into ice. Not even kidding. Beyond that, it's one of the two most gorgeous Shounen shows on right now (Demon Slayer is the other, and it's UFOTable so of course it's pretty), and the characters are mostly fun, regardless of how trope-y they may be. Demon lord dad - Yeah.... apparently by the end of the Light Novels, it's him getting with the "daughter" so.... eeeee..... Rail Zeppelin - Sooooo good. Partly because I have a boner for anything that lets me get to see more of Waver Velvet. Add that to them having A - explained the Rail Zeppelin, B - Yeah, they had that OVA back in January, and C - gone FULL Murder on the Orient Express as of two weeks ago. Abandoned Sacred Beasts - Look, it's doing Fairy Gone but better, and however dumb it gets, I'm happy to keep watching it, since I like the characters, mainly Schaal. Vinland Saga - I saw one or two episodes of this, but MAN I'm all down for it. I'll need to binge it as soon as I'm able to have the time to do it.

Dr. Stone gets rly gud with time! You need to sit in with a bid of expectation of edge and things not making sense, but if you go with it it gets really fun! Personally can recommend

Maybe it's just me but I think everybody should have watched your last seasonal vid 2 seasons ago God this is good Taking the webcast and condensing it then filtering ut through your style is so good and such a good fit with your style Also prepare to be screamed at about not liking dr stone for the next while I appreciate that your girlfriend is apostrophe ppint

9:51 Just lol'd at the EVA reference.

2 Years ago you said you had some more to say about Sao Abridged, but that you were moving into a new apartment so you were going to save it for another time. Do you think you could make that video? I have been so patiently waiting for it.

Serial Experiments Lain is a battle royale?! I might actually watch it now.

So sad this didn't take of. Your writing is on point here

So, Yeah... Dr. Stone should probably go on the Test list; but I recommend waiting so you can binge it because the week to week is painful.

I get why Explanation Point said skip Dr. Stone based on the first episode. It sets up the plot of the show, but not the actual conflict, which doesn’t come until episode 2. But after that, the show gets more interesting, and I’d recommend it to someone on the fence about watching it.

1:24 to skip the ad in the beginning

I may not agree with some of your opinions but damn this was an entertaining video

... Why is Lain a "Battle Anime" ??????

I didnt expected your 3 recommendations to be ONLY RECOMMENDATIONS

Unique as always Fun edits Pretty good ad Still skipped through the whole video just to see the only show I will be watching this season (25:53) Can’t say my mind was blown by that fragment. Okay bye

Actually, rail zeppelin is a working idea. Imagine, say not necessarily zeppelin, but a ballon with a cabin for people, and a rail in the sky that guides zeppelin which can be propelled with speed much bigger than usual zeppelin speed. You can use it to traverse some really hilly or mountain terrain where making a railroad would be really expensive. It was never realised in the world for a reason, but it is not actually as nonsencical as you make it sound. Basically, rail zappelin uses one rail on the certain altitude to guide it's way so that it can be propelled much faster. Again, it is not as nonsencical as it sounds, it is actually an interesting idea, and I swear I can make some schematics that will make it plausible to make in the real world. And I would like to see some fantasy steampunk universe that implements them.

wtf is that anime op at 16:08? I definitely recognize it (FMA?) but, as it's japanese, my memory of the lyrics is purely the pitch and tone, not the syllables.

Ahhh the critical role thing was awsome!

Skip Dr. Stone? That one clearly needs at least a 2 or 3 episode watch before coming to any conclusions. It's quite fascinating and you learn a lot of sciency things.

I'll say this. You are right that Doctor stone starts really really slow. It gets better. The characters get better too. It's surprisingly, an edutainment series disguised as an isekai.

So... Dr. Stone I would say is worth a test. I can definitely say that its something that you have to have a certain itch for, learning how something works and watching the progress to get there. It's good if you want that itch scratched, but not for much else. The character writing is not the best. Fire Force is a shonen. And that's about it. I like it, cause the animation is lovely and the OP is fire (GET IT!!!). But other than that, it has all of the shonen strengths as well as the faults and it's good for something you turn your brain off to. It's no bad, but you can skip it and wont be missing out on the next naruto or anything

Please do more of these

how heavy are the dumbbells you lift is also great for a lot of reasons

4:39 I deeply appreciate this reference in particular.

i agree with you on most of your choices, but to me it seems that you missed the main pull of dr stone, because i've really taken a liken to how they use science in that show. it definitly does some interesting things and some of the things it managed to pull off really caught me off guard
