    Erics opening about people without friends with common interests having reason to watch them is exactly it for me. No one in my life shares my interests and Blind Wave shares a lot of my favorite things so now they're my favorites. Been watching them for about 3 years now. This video is great

      And there's Tyrone Magnus who's at a million. Not downing him, but I just don't get how he's there, and Blind Wave is at 360 thousand. Now that's not a number to cry about either, that is a huge achievement, and I'm proud they are where they are. It's just weird to me I guess that they're not even bigger.

    • @Hieillua
      @Hieillua 5 лет назад +11

      @@superheroedits1315 Same here. I used to like him, but after watching him for a long while he gets tiring. I got more respect for guys like Akasan and Blindwave who put more effort in their reactions.
      Watch Tyrone's full episode reactions. It's him literally being silent, eating grapes and looking annoyed/saying 1 or 2 things throughout the reaction. His content is also stale as hell with his endless try not to laugh compilation reactions.
      I've even seen him react totally out of his mind insane to people trying to help him during a playthrough.
      Btw, check out Heatah 22 reacts. Great reation channel.

      BIG FACTS.. Blind wave & Normies over everyone for me. i used to be a Tyrone & Reel rejects fan, i still am to an extent but with tyrone? he seems lazy now. quality isnt good anymore, he still running off that old laptop & crappy headphones lol and reel rejects just seem... fake to me in a sense.. like they're trying to hard. tyrone to sometimes.
      blind wave & the Normies have actual conversations & deep dive into the conversations & actually talk with substance..

    • @Hieillua
      @Hieillua 5 лет назад +14

      @@donjas8137 I honestly feel the same way like you about Reel Rejects as well. It seems they are being a bit too forced. Their reactions became manufactured if that makes sense. It feels so faked whenever they react to something happening in a trailer.
      Blindwave is super positive, but I believe them. Their talks are solid and their chemistry is damn great. Normies are like that as well, but sometimes I do get a bit irked by them. A lot of obvious things just go over their heads during reactions or guys like Chris that just act like party poopers because he doesn't get what a story is trying to do, or he has literally skipped episodes and then complained about the show. He did that with American Gods, he literally said he hadn't watched a few episodes. But when he came back he kept complaining how nothing made sense.
      Heetah 22 is one of my new ones I follow and a favorite as well. Heetah and Hus have nice talks and their reactions are just really fun. They are really observant and have good things to say. I really loved their Hunter X Hunter reactions.

But i'm glad i got to travel through time with you guys and plus you guys got me into the DC shows i mean i knew a little bit of DC stuff but because anime hit me first and the story line is better there DC was not hitting me in the feels. but 1 final thing i got to say is i hope in the near future people will be able to do the things they love and get paid doing it and i don't mean it in a greedy way but in a way where people don't have to force them self to stress and only doing the job because you have to.

    They don't sit silent nor do they talk throughout everything. They have a perfect balance, don't over complicate things and are straightforward and notice what stories are doing. They have the best Hunter X Hunter 2011 reactions out there. Check them out.

Know some didnt like his or that reaction. He had better moments then bad ones i think on it. My Hero Academia, and Attack On Titan which is doing now is his better work which experiance has helped. Also Rick strong genra of shows is anime so i recommend checking out Rick reactions with there anime. and now Clone Wars series
