I've been watching some of your videos and I really mean it when I say some aspects of them are truly professional. Mainly the structuring of the content, pacing, thumbnail, title and audio quality (at least those are the ones I noticed). I believe this channel has a lot of potential, so let me point out things you may want to improve; there are mainly two: the way you speak and your sentence structuring. Although it's true I've become accustomed to your way of speaking by watching your videos, it was the most off-putting thing I noticed right away. It's not even that bad, but compared to everything else it feels a bit amateur. Now, English is not my first language so I don't speak it very often, but because I consume a lot of media I can definitely tell when someone's pronunciation needs to be worked on. Also, sometimes it doesn't feel like you make a long enough pause and other times it's shorter than it needs to be. Other times it seems to me like you fail to fully capture the emotion you are trying to depict, or you speak one way when you should speak the other. Honestly, I don't know much about the specifics (you can figure that out for yourself) but I don't think public speaking is a difficult skill to learn and you will get better by practicing more. Secondly, your sentence structuring. Although I believe your video structuring is very solid, you seem to be having some problems in your sentences. There's some repetition, but more importantly I feel like sometimes your sentences just don't click with one another. I don't believe this problem is as detrimental as the other, but I just wanted to mention that you may want to check your structuring. Be aware that something sounding good in your head may not translate to it being good when said out loud. Overall, I'm happy I discovered your channel, and I hope you see this message and take it as good criticism, not hate. Of course, I may be wrong on what I say, but I genuinely hope my opinion improves your videos. I'm looking forward to newer uploads and wish the best for you. ❤
nah don't ever feel like you critiquing as hate I take it all as feedback I would rather someone tell me how it is than sugarcoat everything so again ty. Your feedback and suggestions ultimately help me know what I need to work on and what areas need improving. English isn't my first language as well but ik what you mean it seems for most of my videos the main issue is my speech and cadence trust me I'm doing everything I can to get it better so hopefully with time it improves.
I love those "AI wants to destroy humanity" articles, where the urinalists spend hours gaslighting the chat bots into saying those things. 6:50 Author of Re:Zero? Aaaaand I lost any interest in this anime that I didn't even knew I had.
@@FinalSomow OK, brace yourself. I wouldn't know about the source material, but: 1. The anime is very badly paced. For example compare the first season to the second one. After I watched both cours of the second season, I just couldn't shake off the feeling you could make the entire thing like a 3 episode special and exactly nothing of value would've been lost. 2. Due to the nature of the premise, about no character development is possible for anybody except the MC (and I don't count giving backstory to a character that's been dead since the middle of the previous season as character development), which wouldn't be a problem per se, but... 3. The MC gets about zero character development himself. He suffers extreme fits of PTSD about every time he sees somebody die and when he resets. Just as it's been since episode one. 4. What's worse some characters actually suffer negative character development. The whole point of Rem's backstory, that entire episode long monologue Subaru gave her some time later? Well, she doesn't exist in the framework of the story anymore and nothing has as much as been hinted for it changing in the near future. 5. And last, but not least the MC himself is extremely unlikeable. He has no redeeming qualities, his "love" for Emilia is fundamentally pathological and most of all he's stupid. You may excuse such behavior, if the character learns over the course of the story. Which he doesn't. 6. Oh, and I guess you could say it's a lot of violence and gore for the sake of violence and gore. A bit like the author's fetish? You quickly stop giving a crap about it, just like about MC's traumas. And from what I gathered this show does similar thing, so I guess it is, in fact, the author's fetish. To be honest, I wasn't expecting much when I started watching it. It's a mainstream (i.e. very popular) anime with high ratings, but at the same time it's supposed to be "intelligent". Intelligent shows do not become mainstream as a rule. Like, if you sorted anime by popularity on MAL, you'd be able to count all intelligent shows in top 100 on the fingers of one hand, maybe two, if you really pushed it. Well, I'd put it above Aldnoah Zero at least. That show beats you over the head with the "intelligent" stuff, but for anybody with any knowledge of the subject being talked about, it ends up being utterly moronic and renders the entire show unwatchable.
@@LecherousLizard You pointed out some very interesting point and now that you mention it there a lot of things I agree with as well. Like how the show tends to be violent for the sake of being violent and the whole love interest part I found to be done poorly as well. I think for me at least its a show that i found enjoyable, I wouldn't rate it as high as it is today but its something that kept me wanting to know what happens next. I respect your opinion and found your take to be unique; I would still like to say give Vivy a chance I wouldn't want you to not experience it because of one series you disliked.
@@FinalSomow Probably, because his love for Emilia is one-sided and fundamentally pathological, in fact, he pretty much goes on a "Why don't you love me after all I've done for you?" tangent at one point, while Emilia herself seems emotionally stunted and incapable of loving somebody in a romantic sense to begin with on top of that. It's a funny dynamic, in a sense, but it makes me question all those people that consider Re:Zero the greatest show ever and "that's totally me" when talking about Subaru. Dude's basically a satire of a human being and it's not the type of satire you laugh at. You seem pretty reasonable about the show though, so no hard feelings there. And Vivy... well, let's say I got more than enough shows in my backlog as it is, so either way it'll be a long time before I get to watch this one.
Vivy is a really underappreciated show and you need to watch it!
This video made me wanna watch it and I probably will
Straight to my watchlist. Thanks for recommend this.
@@kitsunehistory hope you enjoy it as much as I did
I already know this guy is gonna blow up like crazy soon enough.

rip lmao what's wrong with re Zero if u dont mind me asking
i think if you can look past the creator, you can still find some enjoyment in this show.
