I agree! He doesn't put out a single bad video, can you say that about any other youtuber, it's incredible to see someone pump quality out nearly every week. Kudos to him
I never watch anime for the sake of watching cute girls, but holy shit is Kobayashi joyfull to watch. Everytime the OP and ED plays I just catch myself with a big smile.
AnimEdits I can't decide whether to watch it or not. I'm not into fan servicey shows, but many of the clips that I've seen look genuinely funny enough to earn a watch. idk...
Emmy Quiades i don't think maid dragon and konosuba are anything alike. I like both anime, but maid dragon is more about making you feel good while konosuba is about laughing at how stupid and shitty the characters are
I think they both have the same type of over-the-top, 4th-wall breaking humour, but "Kobayashi" has the feel-good moments of something like the old "Simpsons", while "Konosuba" is more ongoing gags like "Seinfeld".
Hey, just wanted to say thank you for sharing my channel/music. I was gone all day and was so amazed to see all these notifications and junk haha. It was an honor to play on the Cowboy Bebop video for you, and I can't wait to work together again!
I just want to thank you for the quality of video's you put up. Even though you don't put up a video every bloody day, I sure as hell have no problem with waiting for a video of yours. And I'd like to thank you for reigniting my interest in anime.
Man you are just amazing like seriously. In a world full of cynics and people who just wanna put others down i am so thankful for the upbeat videos that help me get through till the next. Words cannot describe how much i appreciate u. So thank you, thank you for sharing the things that make u happy. All your fans hope for u to keep improving and growing
Dude, watching Ian Jones-Quartey come up all the way to show runner after starting from just a webcomic - RPG World - back in the late 90s/early 2000s is just... awesome. I'm so happy to see how much he's grown and that his talents are being recognized and rewarded. GJ, Ian!
Finding out you enjoyed a silent voice makes me So happy, ive been following that series since the one shot and getting to see it in a cinema was one of the best experiences of my life
one of my favorite things has to be Super Eyepatch Wolf his dive into what makes a fight scene interesting, taking a unique fresh perspective into a subject that has been delved over time and time again and making it fresh once more. his research delivery and commitment to bring quality shine in his analysis like nothing else I've seen so far this year.
Twin Peaks! Yes! The first season, plus the first few episodes of the second season is pure perfection. And you caught up just in time for the new season coming up!
Wolf, you of all people should watch Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu. It is one of the most unique anime I've ever seen and I'm anxiously awaiting for you to become a fanboy like I am.
Once again, Wolf makes a video that completely blows the anime community's obsession with negativity out of the water. Even the final comment about criticism seemed to adress that. Great video as always and I really enjoy the format of this segment, it leaves room for variety. Kobayashi is slightly too kawaii for me but it certainly is well done, yet I was wondering why there was no mention of Konosuba 2...one of the few gems of the season.
Gustbk1 Try Demi-chan Wa Katartitai. It has been really overlooked due to all the hype around Kobayashi, but it is a great show with a ton of heart and a great sense of humor. Give it a couple episodes to feel it out and I think you'll enjoy it. Honestly, it has become one of my all-time favorites, and it makes me really sad to see it being overlooked the way it is. Maybe I could connect to it a little deeper than most sense I'm actually working on a teaching degree, but I think the show really deserves more attention than it's getting.
Gustbk1 If I were to be polite, Konosuba isn't really a gem as it's one of the most popular shows this season, but it's a good show though. A gem is something more of in the lines of underappreciated shows of a season. Though, I didn't plan to watch Onihei (A Samurai Anime made by ex-Mad House members), I heard praise of it despite the consensus score on MAL. A gem is more in the lines of that. Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu isn't as popular as Konosuba or Masamune-kun this season despite numerous RUclipsrs and the underground community recommending to watch it and applauding it. Though when you think about it a gem in this context is more of a way to describe something precious regardless of popularity or consensus scores. For me the gem of this season is Little Witch Academia, it's a fun energetic show full of shout outs to Gainax, Western Sci-fi, Cartoons and TV Shows in the vein of Harry Potter and The Worst Witch. But the important thing is that you keep enjoying the things that you like. Sorry if its too long I can get carried away sometimes.
I did follow Demi-chan through it all, and yes, it was the perfect amount of cute humor for me. Certainly subversive to some cliches of the highschool girl genre...wish there was a bit more conflict but then again, it is a slice of life.
Yeah, I guess it can't really count as a gem, just a cool object that people agree is cool. But I do agree that LWA fits this term better. I really expected it to be the hyped anime of the season since it already had some popularity on Netflix but nobody really talks about it. But, to be fair, the show hasn't gotten to it's meat yet and just slowly sprinkles in some interesting lore/visuals yet something I'm really surprised no relevant anime youtuber has mentioned yet (aside from maybe Egoraptor's interview with the head of the show) is that LWA is the most cartoon anime ever...writing and visual tricks/refferences to western animation in literally every episode. SGRS is a bit harder for the general public to get into since it's a very niche topic of japanese culture so it's understandably not easy to approach.
One of my favorite things about Winter 2017 is that was when i started watching One Peice. I first was like "Oh, this is gonna be a forever and a half to catch up." Looking at the amount of episodes there are, it was like looking at Mt. Everest! But when a watched it, my dread turned into excitement! My love for this anime really begin when Luffy and the straw hats made it to the grand line itself! Because there is no way to predict this ocean's behavior, that adds really creative and amazing ideas for islands! There is also lots and lots of memorable characters that are almost never forgotten! Right now, i am at episode 302 and not once do i remember a single episode that i hated so much, which shows how great the writing is. But what made this one of my most favorite anime was the Water 7/Enies Lobby arc! It is so amazing that it still wouldn't be enough to do a top 20 best moments in this arc! I did not expect myself to love an anime like this so much, but here i am.
Thanks to him, my brother and I discovered Hajime no Ippo, and it's so good even my 50 year old mother loves it. We were all hooked by ep. 7. This man knows what he's doing.
So much new media to contribute to the slow and inevitable downward slide of my life and sanity... it's... beautiful. Thank you Eyepatch Wolf. _Thank you_ .
OH GOD I FEEL YOU ON TWIN PEAKS. That show falls apart in the second season, but it's such a beautiful and haunting show that it remains worth completing.
Man, 'a silent voice' wrecked me. It was hitting really close to home with a lot of the emotions they were going through, especially looking back on myself at that age. Fantastic movie, can't reccommend enough.
YES! I read a silent voice back when it came out and I found it to be absolutely FANTASTIC! When you were mentioning emotional masochism i IMMEDIATELY thought of silent voice! I'm SO GLAD you had the pleasure of DESTROYING your emotions with it! 10/10 my man! Keep this shit up I love it!
this is probably my favorite series of yours, (aside maybe WYSW) simply because i love listening to people talking about their opinions, and since your taste in media is so similar to mine, i'd gladly listen to your epic voice rant about how cool something is, then to have me go check it out later and rarely be disappointed ^-^
Jesus f'ing christ it's insane how every video of yours I watch manages to make me appreciate more and more your work, even the ones I rewatch. It began at "hmm this guy does some interesting analysis" a few months ago to today me saying "holy shit this guy's smart, can be funny and has good taste!" You got me to wait eagerly for your next video, keep up the good work man!
When he mentioned the "Why you should watch Flip Flappers," video I just sat there and was like all your "Why You Should Watch," videos have been phenomenal and why I even started Berserk. WHICH I LOVE NOW.
the best thing of the last decade has been the SuperEyePatchWolf channel in terms of utube. Best animes this season is Konosuba and Rakugo (even though I have to catch up to both). Videogames.... BOTW, its the only thing ive been doing since it came out.
Thanks for making these videos that I love. I know it can be hard to take criticism, but I feel the best creators can take them while still being true to the core of what they are trying to do. As for constructive compliments, I love that you break down animation into what goes into them like character design, good fight scenes, and music/sound effects. I am not and don't plan to be a producer, but I do want to write and watching videos like these let's me see just how much goes into animation, and it makes me want to look for the techniques that are unique to the medium of writing novels. If you know any good writing blogs that share writing techniques I would love to see them. Please keep the videos up.
I've been avoiding the dragonmaid anime because of the premise alone but you speak so nicely about it that it really makes me want to go check it out. Thank you for the recs.
Yes! Please make a video about twin peaks it would make me so excited! I didn't even know you were watching it but I'm glad you finally got around to finishing it.
Damn i love videos like these, with a whole buttload of interesting stuff to check out. These days, it's really damn difficult to just "explore" youtube. Maybe I'm mixing things up, but i think it was a lot more easier to find new, small-time interesting channels back a few years ago? Might be wrong. Either way, thanks a bunch for this!
My favourite thing is the prospect of a Why You Should Watch Kaiji video. Wolf is the kind of guy who risks it all for top-quality content, and seeing him finally get the ball in the Samurai Jack Season 5 announcement machine made it all worth it. Wait a minute...
Hey, Super Eye Patch Wolf! Been watching your channel for a long time. Very impressed with your videos, your perspective, and your taste in media. Keep up the stellar work, my friend.
I like that SEW is a true 'Culture Vulture' because while I first found his channel because of his fantastic Otaku content the fact that he also talks about internet videos, games, music and live action shows is a refreshing amount of variety that very few RUclips channels offer these days.
I honestly think you are the best content creator i've watched in a long time(and i've watched a lot of them through my years) Keep it up man, you're one of my favourite youtubers.
Can I just say? Wolf is my favorite RUclipsr at the moment, and his content is always amazing. I needed that breath of positivity (is this a word? Google is telling me this isn't a word) in my life right now.
Your wish has been fulfilled haha , he even branched out to non media related topics which honestly really great especially the weird and obscure stuff...
My Favorite's Things in Winter 2017 (My opinion's) -WWE UK Championship Tournament was really outstanding -Kenny Omega vs Kazuchika Okada at Wrestle Kingdom 11 was 6 out 6 match of year (IGN) -NJPW New Japan Cup 2017 was amazing -Broken Matt Hardy and Brother Hero make surprise appearance in ROH and won tag title's, and now they invade WWE headquarters -O.K KO it was a marvelous, and brilliant show I can't wait for to air on summer TV. -Voltron Legendary Defenders seasons 2 another fantastic from start to finished. -Little Witch Academia TV series (so far) it's really good, but not that prefect like the others two film's -The Lego Batman Movie was hilarious, and awesome -Shin Godzilla soundtrack was brilliant, and directed just like the film itself -Samurai Jack Season 5 was a masterpiece (so far), I'm praised for how it going to handle -Tekken 7 looks gorgeous, even the soundtrack
I picked up Scum's Wish earlier this week on a whim, ended up catching up to it completely in 2 days. I was expecting a run-of-the-mill high school love triangle anime that was perhaps a little more on the serious side and I was pleasantly surprised. I don't think there's another anime out there that centers about the duality of being in love/lust with someone (please correct me if I'm wrong)--which is a shame because that's such a great theme. Scum's Wish was DEFINITELY the sleeper hit of this season for me.
If you're a fan of Super Sentai, I'd recommend Kyuranger. It's a hectic rollercoaster ride with 9 rangers off the bat, but the writing seems really solid and the character interaction is hysterical to watch.
Great video as usual! I'd love to see you do a whole video on great comics/webcomics, since I think that they don't get nearly enough attention, and it seems like you have some interesting things to say on them that get relegated to short spotlights on the season recaps.
While everyone complements Dragon Maid and Konosuba Nanbaka just sits in the corner saying stuff like "hey, we're on our 2nd cour, and we switched genres too! Does anyone want to watch? No? Nobody? It's ok, I'll wait"
The Chespineapple The Kobayashi hype has drowned out a lot of great shows this season. Demi-chan Wa Katartitai has become one of my absolute favorite shows ever, but virtually nobody is talking about it because of this. I can't blame people for like Kobayashi, but the level to which it is drowning out everything else is really getting under my skin.
Drake Ford You shouldn't be getting mad about it, it's just a less interesting season so naturally an extremely solid slice of life show would connect with more people than usual. Plus it's adorable and wholesome. Can you blame people for loving it? I don't think its fair to blame Dragon Maid for why IwMG isn't as popular, people simply watch what more people would recommend to them (hence why some anime gain more traction than others through goodwill). You always get this with new anime seasons, the most popular shows, but that doesn't mean everything else is dismissed. Hell, Masamune-kun's Revenge is more popular than either according to MAL, and that show definitely wouldn't be considered "best" anything by the end of this season.
Josh Leitzel I get what you're saying, but the thing that bugs me is the number of times I've suggested it to people and been met with the response of "Nah, I've already got my cute-girl-anime for the season." I think that boiling either show down to cute-girls is already a disservice to the description of their quality, but to then dismiss one because you're already watching the other really bugs me. They both bring some really great things to the table, but they're both quite removed from eachother, and while I don't blame anyone for liking Dragon Maid, I hate to see another show getting dismissed because of assumed similarities. I'm part of the anime community, so I'm used to things blowing up and drowning others out, but typically the youtube community or other sub-groups pick up on a gem and give it some attention. I guess it's just the general radio-silence that's getting to me.
Drake Ford I can kind of sympathize with people feeling that way though. When you have too many sweet and W H O L E S O M E shows at once, they can actually have the exact opposite intended effect for some people. Luckily, I can get by watching both with an insulin pen. ;) I do agree that dismissing both as simply "cute monster girl" shows does a pretty big disservice to the actual depth of them. It's actually kind of fascinating to see what anime end up getting the most exposure and popularity each season. You can almost never guarantee or guess which relatively unknown ones will make their way out of the groundworks and become surprise hits. I don't think many were expecting Dragon Maid to be one of the best anime of the season, let alone anything more than trendy "monster girl" sub-genre schlock (you know, of the Monster Musume variety).
Frek, I just watched your "What Makes a Good Villain" video and I'm now hooked! Sad that I didn't find you sooner my dude, but excited to see the rest of your work!
I discovered your channel recently and really like it ! I'm a big fan of animation so your content is perfect for me :) You gained a new french subscriber !
The thumbnail alone, i love how botw was inspired by previous openworld titles, an amalgamation still uses the practicality of visual direction for its points of interest where landmarks piques attention as how the environment was bland and seeks for visual pleasure.
Reading your title makes me cry.. At SEA, your winter is our summer, our whole year seasons are also summer actually lol. Great videos as always tho ")
We also got two different superhero movies this season that were on completely different ends of the spectrum but were both still absolutely brilliant. The Lego Batman Movie and Logan were both some of the best superhero movies in an already great past few years of the genre.
I'm sad you haven't watching Demi-chan, it's been pretty great all season but episode 11 was one of the most impactful anime episodes I've seen in a long time. How it approached understanding the differences in others just gave this feeling of having every miscommunication I'd ever had laid out in front of me and was so amazing
nara070690 YES! MY GOD, I WAS STARTING TO THINK I WAS ALONE! I don't fault people for liking Kobayashi so much, but the hype around it has so completely drowned out Demi-chan that most people don't know it's a thing, and most people that do just write it off by saying "I've already got my cute-girl-anime for the season" (And I'm honestly not sure Demi-chan even falls into the cute-girl category despite their presence). It has a ton of heart, a great sense of humor, and has honestly become one of my all-time favorite series. Episode 11 *is* my favorite episode of anime, period. Maybe I can connect to it a little more deeply than most, as I am working on a teaching degree now, but it deserves far more attention than it's getting. Please Wolf, help this show out of the shadows!
Drake Ford Lol dude, it's really not as obscure as you seem to think it is. Just look at this comment section. If anything, I'm more sad that more people aren't mentioning Saga of Tanya the Evil. Even I made a comment recommending it to Eyepatch. Also, Demi-chan is fucking adorable. So yeah, it DEFINITELY falls into the "cute girl anime" category.
Josh Leitzel What can I say, I crusade when I'm bored. XD I've only seen about 3 people actually mention Demi-chan, and that is after a good while of scrolling. I don't think that it is some massive secret, just that there's a lot of people who don't know about it, and even more who heard it was a thing but never actually looked into it. To be fair though, Youjo Senki also deserves much more attention than it's getting too. Not many shows can so aptly discuss philosophical issues without getting preachy about it. I get what you mean about it being filled with cute girls, but I don't really like to apply the term to shows with any real depth, because I feel like it de-emphasizes the other qualities of a show. I also have a knack for hyperbole, but hey, what can you do?
Drake Ford And to be fair, I've also noticed less people talking about it lately for some reason (less waifu material?). I do hope more people watch it, because it is a really great show. Easily on par with Dragon Maid imo.
wait... winter 2017 ? and thx for the Silent Voice recommendation, seems like something i would really like. On the first impression it remembers me on ''Welcome to the NHK'' which is my favorit anime of all time.
Thanks for the shout out my man~
my favourite thing is supereyepatchwolf
Same, he's one of my favorite people I subbed to in 2016.
Yup, this is definitely my favourite YT channel so far!
I agree! He doesn't put out a single bad video, can you say that about any other youtuber, it's incredible to see someone pump quality out nearly every week. Kudos to him
Joele Rivera Hey now, don't jinx it!
same here
Sometimes It's just nice to listen to someone explain why they like the things they like
I never watch anime for the sake of watching cute girls, but holy shit is Kobayashi joyfull to watch. Everytime the OP and ED plays I just catch myself with a big smile.
AnimEdits I can't decide whether to watch it or not. I'm not into fan servicey shows, but many of the clips that I've seen look genuinely funny enough to earn a watch. idk...
If you liked "Konosuba" you'll like "Kobayashi". Similar types of humour, with just the right amount of heart, so as not to make it gushy.
Nathan Ross It's genuinely just a good hearted show. The first couple of minutes might make you think this is just fan service, but do not mind it.
Emmy Quiades i don't think maid dragon and konosuba are anything alike. I like both anime, but maid dragon is more about making you feel good while konosuba is about laughing at how stupid and shitty the characters are

this channel and all channels youve mentioned are heavily underrated. you guys deserve waay more subs
Man, I just discovered you a couple weeks ago, so you're the best thing about Winter 2017.
Twin Peaks! Yes! The first season, plus the first few episodes of the second season is pure perfection. And you caught up just in time for the new season coming up!
Im always blown away how much I love everyone of your videos. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.
I'm loving this channel more and more with each new video. Thanks a lot for the awesome recommendations!
You've recently become one of my favorite youtubers! Keep up the great work !
I had to add this to my watch later list a quarter of the way through because there is too much good stuff to check out all at once. Nice compilation!
Wolf, you of all people should watch Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu. It is one of the most unique anime I've ever seen and I'm anxiously awaiting for you to become a fanboy like I am.
I'm pretty sure he watched it
Kikuhiko and Sukeroku > Josuke and Okuyasu. Fite me.
Once again, Wolf makes a video that completely blows the anime community's obsession with negativity out of the water. Even the final comment about criticism seemed to adress that.

Same here.
His videos are the reason I checked out JoJo and _Hunter x Hunter_ in the first place.
Thanks to him, my brother and I discovered Hajime no Ippo, and it's so good even my 50 year old mother loves it. We were all hooked by ep. 7. This man knows what he's doing.
tooo many animeeeeee not enough timeeeeeeeeeeeee
Same feeling I get with the shit ton of comics and series that come out every month. It's a struggle, man.
ikr
IKR
So much new media to contribute to the slow and inevitable downward slide of my life and sanity... it's... beautiful. Thank you Eyepatch Wolf. _Thank you_ .

I thought that the CGI in Gantz:O looked amazing and not just "passable" as you described it.
I love you super eyepatch wolf. Your presentation and insight are impeccable. You've made me excited to watch anime again.
hand shakers really was something else xD
I would've gone with Samurai Jack season 5, I think it's excellent, at least so far.
Rohan Dsome it isn't a train wreck
I assume its because its so early in its run.
He'll probably mention it next season, or give its own revie2.
lulu1997master It's only going to be one new season.
Rohan Dsome While the first two episodes are phenomenal, like really really really good, some of the best stuff I've watched in a while.
Your recommendations is my rabbithole, and I will gladly jump down it every time. Keep doing your thing!
The one shot was amazing, follow up manga is great, can't wait to see it animated.
Jesus f'ing christ it's insane how every video of yours I watch manages to make me appreciate more and more your work, even the ones I rewatch.

Don't you dare make fun of my woifu, you bitch!
Tfw Woolie is at least partially responsible for creating one of the best RUclips channels around right now.
"Celebrity murdering dumpster fire"- best description of 2016 I've heard.
Damn, I still remember when this channel was a little bit more of 2000 subscribers when I found it.
Cheers, SuperEypatchWolf. You earned it.
the best thing of the last decade has been the SuperEyePatchWolf channel in terms of utube. Best animes this season is Konosuba and Rakugo (even though I have to catch up to both). Videogames.... BOTW, its the only thing ive been doing since it came out.
I love your videos! You can feel how well thought out they are. Keep up the good work and please never stop! :)
Thanks for making these videos that I love. I know it can be hard to take criticism, but I feel the best creators can take them while still being true to the core of what they are trying to do. As for constructive compliments, I love that you break down animation into what goes into them like character design, good fight scenes, and music/sound effects. I am not and don't plan to be a producer, but I do want to write and watching videos like these let's me see just how much goes into animation, and it makes me want to look for the techniques that are unique to the medium of writing novels. If you know any good writing blogs that share writing techniques I would love to see them. Please keep the videos up.
I've been avoiding the dragonmaid anime because of the premise alone but you speak so nicely about it that it really makes me want to go check it out. Thank you for the recs.
Yesssssss, A silent voice was so beautiful my fav only behind "Your name and When Marnie was there "
I like how you made this video personal without dragging on the points being made.
Yes! Please make a video about twin peaks it would make me so excited! I didn't even know you were watching it but I'm glad you finally got around to finishing it.
Thank you so much for the wonderful recommendations! I'd miss out on so many great pieces of media without you. Keep up the great work.
Damn i love videos like these, with a whole buttload of interesting stuff to check out. These days, it's really damn difficult to just "explore" youtube. Maybe I'm mixing things up, but i think it was a lot more easier to find new, small-time interesting channels back a few years ago? Might be wrong. Either way, thanks a bunch for this!
My favourite thing is the prospect of a Why You Should Watch Kaiji video. Wolf is the kind of guy who risks it all for top-quality content, and seeing him finally get the ball in the Samurai Jack Season 5 announcement machine made it all worth it. Wait a minute...
Damn we wish we were in 2017
I just found Clemps this past month and love his style. You both are my two favorite subs!
Hey, Super Eye Patch Wolf! Been watching your channel for a long time. Very impressed with your videos, your perspective, and your taste in media.
Keep up the stellar work, my friend.
I like that SEW is a true 'Culture Vulture' because while I first found his channel because of his fantastic Otaku content the fact that he also talks about internet videos, games, music and live action shows is a refreshing amount of variety that very few RUclips channels offer these days.
I honestly think you are the best content creator i've watched in a long time(and i've watched a lot of them through my years) Keep it up man, you're one of my favourite youtubers.
Can I just say? Wolf is my favorite RUclipsr at the moment, and his content is always amazing. I needed that breath of positivity (is this a word? Google is telling me this isn't a word) in my life right now.
I love it when you said that nothing can possibly go wrong and then you show berserk 2017 anime.
I'd like to see Super Eyepatch Wolf branch out to be a media review channel rather than just anime
Your wish has been fulfilled haha , he even branched out to non media related topics which honestly really great especially the weird and obscure stuff...
@@afiffarhati4580 Oh for sure! Every video he's done has been a blast since then
My Favorite's Things in Winter 2017 (My opinion's)
-WWE UK Championship Tournament was really outstanding
-Kenny Omega vs Kazuchika Okada at Wrestle Kingdom 11 was 6 out 6 match of year (IGN)
-NJPW New Japan Cup 2017 was amazing
-Broken Matt Hardy and Brother Hero make surprise appearance in ROH and won tag title's, and now they invade WWE headquarters
-O.K KO it was a marvelous, and brilliant show I can't wait for to air on summer TV.
-Voltron Legendary Defenders seasons 2 another fantastic from start to finished.
-Little Witch Academia TV series (so far) it's really good, but not that prefect like the others two film's
-The Lego Batman Movie was hilarious, and awesome
-Shin Godzilla soundtrack was brilliant, and directed just like the film itself
-Samurai Jack Season 5 was a masterpiece (so far), I'm praised for how it going to handle
-Tekken 7 looks gorgeous, even the soundtrack
Hand Shakers is basically a long, painful lesson on how lots of motion ≠ good animation.
discovered supereyepatchwolf in 2016 so I can continue to entertain myself with all my favorite anime.
Honestly, I have enjoyed most of recommendations! Really liking the content you release and promote!
My favorite thing in 2017 is finally having a Super Robot Wars game in English
7:50 "Serves as a decent vertical slice"
I see what you did there, and I love it. Even if that's more of a horizontal slice.
clemps is one of my favorite channels i'm glad you plugged him
I picked up Scum's Wish earlier this week on a whim, ended up catching up to it completely in 2 days. I was expecting a run-of-the-mill high school love triangle anime that was perhaps a little more on the serious side and I was pleasantly surprised. I don't think there's another anime out there that centers about the duality of being in love/lust with someone (please correct me if I'm wrong)--which is a shame because that's such a great theme. Scum's Wish was DEFINITELY the sleeper hit of this season for me.
If you're a fan of Super Sentai, I'd recommend Kyuranger. It's a hectic rollercoaster ride with 9 rangers off the bat, but the writing seems really solid and the character interaction is hysterical to watch.
I'm a simple man
Super Eyepatch Wolf recommends, i watch
Personally, I find a "This Seasons New Cool Shit" a great subject matter. I very much approve, and would love to see more in the future.
Ok ko is just a good show that should have never been cancelled.
abselutly. best thing in 2017 is supereyepatchwolf
Great video as usual! I'd love to see you do a whole video on great comics/webcomics, since I think that they don't get nearly enough attention, and it seems like you have some interesting things to say on them that get relegated to short spotlights on the season recaps.
Thank you for the recs, more of this, please
While everyone complements Dragon Maid and Konosuba Nanbaka just sits in the corner saying stuff like "hey, we're on our 2nd cour, and we switched genres too! Does anyone want to watch? No? Nobody? It's ok, I'll wait"

The Kobayashi hype has drowned out a lot of great shows this season. Demi-chan Wa Katartitai has become one of my absolute favorite shows ever, but virtually nobody is talking about it because of this.
I can't blame people for like Kobayashi, but the level to which it is drowning out everything else is really getting under my skin.
Drake Ford You shouldn't be getting mad about it, it's just a less interesting season so naturally an extremely solid slice of life show would connect with more people than usual. Plus it's adorable and wholesome. Can you blame people for loving it? I don't think its fair to blame Dragon Maid for why IwMG isn't as popular, people simply watch what more people would recommend to them (hence why some anime gain more traction than others through goodwill). You always get this with new anime seasons, the most popular shows, but that doesn't mean everything else is dismissed. Hell, Masamune-kun's Revenge is more popular than either according to MAL, and that show definitely wouldn't be considered "best" anything by the end of this season.

I get what you're saying, but the thing that bugs me is the number of times I've suggested it to people and been met with the response of "Nah, I've already got my cute-girl-anime for the season." I think that boiling either show down to cute-girls is already a disservice to the description of their quality, but to then dismiss one because you're already watching the other really bugs me.
They both bring some really great things to the table, but they're both quite removed from eachother, and while I don't blame anyone for liking Dragon Maid, I hate to see another show getting dismissed because of assumed similarities.
I'm part of the anime community, so I'm used to things blowing up and drowning others out, but typically the youtube community or other sub-groups pick up on a gem and give it some attention. I guess it's just the general radio-silence that's getting to me.
Drake Ford I can kind of sympathize with people feeling that way though. When you have too many sweet and W H O L E S O M E shows at once, they can actually have the exact opposite intended effect for some people. Luckily, I can get by watching both with an insulin pen. ;)
I do agree that dismissing both as simply "cute monster girl" shows does a pretty big disservice to the actual depth of them.
It's actually kind of fascinating to see what anime end up getting the most exposure and popularity each season. You can almost never guarantee or guess which relatively unknown ones will make their way out of the groundworks and become surprise hits. I don't think many were expecting Dragon Maid to be one of the best anime of the season, let alone anything more than trendy "monster girl" sub-genre schlock (you know, of the Monster Musume variety).
i am glad that you decided to do another favorite list i loved the last one
Lmao that were simpler times when we thought 2016 was bad, if its a pattern then we 2024 will be very bad
Your voice is so calm and clean.
Frek, I just watched your "What Makes a Good Villain" video and I'm now hooked! Sad that I didn't find you sooner my dude, but excited to see the rest of your work!
You sir are on fire with the last few videos, keep it up!
THIS VIDEO WAS GREAT, i would welcome a video like this every few months/year!
You are all I could ask for in a youtuber, keep up the good work!
My favorite thing about winter 2017? It's over. So long, shovel.
VIVE LA SPRING!
Thank you for killing any productivity I may have had today. Great video as always
Some of my favourites and some cool looking new things I didn't even know about! Thanks, great vid
SAMURAI JACK, RICK AND MORTY SEASON 3, GORILLAZ,DBS, ONE PUNCH MAN SEASON 2!!!!
GET HYPE!!
Damn, Wolf, displaying your great taste yet again.
I discovered your channel recently and really like it ! I'm a big fan of animation so your content is perfect for me :)
You gained a new french subscriber !
I HAVEN'T EVEN WATCHED THE VIDEO YET AND I'M LIKING.
love all your videos :D
I just discovered your channel and SOLD. Binge watching all your videos now.
7:48 When they said "the Head of the Samurai..." Oh they literally meant his head, oh my god. what and how.
Wolf has the most soothing voice in the anime community on RUclips I'm js
The thumbnail alone, i love how botw was inspired by previous openworld titles, an amalgamation still uses the practicality of visual direction for its points of interest where landmarks piques attention as how the environment was bland and seeks for visual pleasure.
Reading your title makes me cry.. At SEA, your winter is our summer, our whole year seasons are also summer actually lol. Great videos as always tho ")
We also got two different superhero movies this season that were on completely different ends of the spectrum but were both still absolutely brilliant. The Lego Batman Movie and Logan were both some of the best superhero movies in an already great past few years of the genre.
Guts gets eclipse flashbacks. we get berserk 2016 flashbacks. thanks for reminding me, supereyepatchwolf
This is really cool. Got to know a ton of new stuff I never heard about. Thanks!
If only a certain GOLDEN EXPERIENCE of a show would be announced
I really enjoy your 'Favorite Things' videos :D keep it up
A lot of good recommendations.
I hope you continue this. : )
I'm sad you haven't watching Demi-chan, it's been pretty great all season but episode 11 was one of the most impactful anime episodes I've seen in a long time. How it approached understanding the differences in others just gave this feeling of having every miscommunication I'd ever had laid out in front of me and was so amazing
nara070690
YES! MY GOD, I WAS STARTING TO THINK I WAS ALONE!
I don't fault people for liking Kobayashi so much, but the hype around it has so completely drowned out Demi-chan that most people don't know it's a thing, and most people that do just write it off by saying "I've already got my cute-girl-anime for the season" (And I'm honestly not sure Demi-chan even falls into the cute-girl category despite their presence).
It has a ton of heart, a great sense of humor, and has honestly become one of my all-time favorite series. Episode 11 *is* my favorite episode of anime, period. Maybe I can connect to it a little more deeply than most, as I am working on a teaching degree now, but it deserves far more attention than it's getting.
Please Wolf, help this show out of the shadows!
Drake Ford Lol dude, it's really not as obscure as you seem to think it is. Just look at this comment section. If anything, I'm more sad that more people aren't mentioning Saga of Tanya the Evil. Even I made a comment recommending it to Eyepatch.
Also, Demi-chan is fucking adorable. So yeah, it DEFINITELY falls into the "cute girl anime" category.
Josh Leitzel
What can I say, I crusade when I'm bored. XD
I've only seen about 3 people actually mention Demi-chan, and that is after a good while of scrolling. I don't think that it is some massive secret, just that there's a lot of people who don't know about it, and even more who heard it was a thing but never actually looked into it.
To be fair though, Youjo Senki also deserves much more attention than it's getting too. Not many shows can so aptly discuss philosophical issues without getting preachy about it.
I get what you mean about it being filled with cute girls, but I don't really like to apply the term to shows with any real depth, because I feel like it de-emphasizes the other qualities of a show.
I also have a knack for hyperbole, but hey, what can you do?
Drake Ford And to be fair, I've also noticed less people talking about it lately for some reason (less waifu material?). I do hope more people watch it, because it is a really great show. Easily on par with Dragon Maid imo.
wait... winter 2017 ? and thx for the Silent Voice recommendation, seems like something i would really like. On the first impression it remembers me on ''Welcome to the NHK'' which is my favorit anime of all time.
