I Need to Get This Off My Chest...

Thought this dude would come out and disown the Bull's organization or somethin

Hot take: anyone that doesn’t like the exact same anime that I like and hate the exact same anime that I hate are less intelligent than I am

I had a mini panic Thinking this was a genuine vent video phew-

Frequent mal user here, everytime an anime that's not FMAB gets #1 and the discussion forums make it into this huge event, I get brain damage.

Holy moly I got trolled

You were cooking with all of these, when I got into anime later in life my IQ dropped so hard I thought IQ was real

I really agree with your take 2. When I watch something from my country I watch it in my language, but when for example it came from America, Japan or other country, I always try to watch with subs. I also absolutely hate how death of the author is so common nowadays and how people use it. I understand when someone wants to ignore problematic authors or ignore racist messages. Lovecraft was a terrible person but that doesn't mean we should burn all his books. He is dead and we can grow cosmic horror without racism. Instead however, most people online use death of the author as a way to defend their farfetched "interpretations" that are basically fanfiction and as a way to completely ignore existence of any message they don't like or haven't thought of. "What do you mean this was meant to show how war can destroy moral compass of a young child, this author is clearly pro genocide and you are just defending him!!!"

It’s been 3 hours and hot take #2 is already iconic. And I love “art is a two way conversation” quote, because it’s so true, and I feel like people lean too much on one side or the other on the Death of the Author debate.

That 2nd take is so true. I usually watch anime in the sub cos they were usually made with the Japanese language in mind, but I do make a few exception which are: Black Lagoon and Cyberpunk Edgerunners (Dub is actually just superior in every way), Ghibli films (I'll usually watch them twice in sub and dub cos they get really good English VAs like Christian Bale as Howl), and older anime, specifically late 90s and early 2000s works like Cowboy Bebop and Samurai Champloo. For a lot of these it comes down to swearing and stuff like that. I think it just fits better in the dub when there's a lot of cursing cos words like 'fuck' or 'shit' stand out a lot more in English than they do in Japanese.👍

You can't fool me, sad baby face aside

About the 2nd take, that made me remember the whole watch order thing with Monogatari, but specially the Hana/Koyomi with novel order that a lot of people are really against it because it ruins the tension of other arcs or something, but as far as Monogatari goes it was never the most straightforward form of storytelling. So it's quite amusing seeing people trying to fit some 'normal' storytelling into the story in this case when it was already quite chaotic from the get-go. As someone who ended up watching broadcast order and has the bias of experiencing the series first that way I still don't see a good argument against someone experiencing the series the novel way.

And this is why you're probably my favorite anime-focused youtuber. I agree with all these takes W

The funny thing is half of these weren’t even hot takes, they were correct

Man these are actually good and valid takes good job man

You had me pressed in the intro, not gonna lie. XD

No end bit? Odd

(Hot Take 4: Anime should stop catering to otaku) Hayao Miyazaki approves this take!

I thought this was serious.......... HOLY CRAP IT'S ON ANOTHER LEVEL

These are indeed some of the hot takes of all time.

nah bro had me scared, you can't be doing this without warning man
