Make a video about the different developers/graphic engines where they’re all started and where they get their names.
No basic instructions on using photo editing software, and you should always include a face in your thumbnail (preferably your own or someone who is well known). Mediocre unresearched tutorial, 4/10
"polyamory for cowards" is the best haram description I've heard lol
Trying to get the Yandere into your Harem without her/him killing everyone including you, should give bravery points.
Wrong harem LMAO
Especially since they leave out the most important part of all: The Eunuchs! You can't have a decent harem without any eunuchs. Where are the eunuchs Japan? We've already had "The 100 Girlfriends Who Really Love You" now give us "The 200 Castrated Old Men Who Absolutely Despise You"
HARAM???
eid mubarak everyone

Congrats, you deserve it
ANIME FEET RANKING
You know what you want and you shot your shot, we can only respect this strength of will
Your 15 minutes of fame... and it was for anime feet rankings. Congrats?
And what a cultured suggestion it was 🥲
video idea:
use your anime randomizer to pick five anime, and then, after making a community post asking people to recommend their favorite obscure anime, pick five random ones (exculding ones you've watched) from your audience.
now, you watch the five randomly picked ones and the five audience recommendations and put them against each other with you making two videos (one for each side) reviewing the anime and giving a score of 1-10. at the end of the second video, you run the numbers and figure out which side has the better anime taste.
I'd honestly would love that, the anime randomizer videos are kinda fun, hope Lex brings them back
Great, now put ‘feet’ after every word of Anime.
John Green, the legend himself
One of the first big sponsorships on RUclips was also definitely Rhett and Link's T-shirt War 2 which was sponsored by McDonalds/Coke I think. Those guys had a bunch of huge sponsors weirdly early in RUclips's history compared to most channels
They discussed their early days in their recent Flashback with Smosh episode. That wasn't their first sponsored video, but it was the first that blew up that much
They are definitely experts on the subject, having made a lot of early ads
John Green being THE youtuber who responds with some niche information about old YT history checks out perfectly and Smosh being the first example of it does too LMAO
Here's some more video ideas:
-lore/history on stuff that isn't well-known, like Bionicle or YTPs.
-origins of the genres in music, books, games, etc.
-the origin of sports fandoms (especially hooliganism)
+1 to sports hooliganism, but also hooliganism in different countries
+2
@@ThatOneGuy7550 +3
I read that as "the origins of sporks" and I 100% think we need that.
There are already documentaries and entire channels dedicated to Bionicle lore and/or history. Not that i wouldn't welcome another essay about this topic from Lextorias, but i can't say it is nott well-known, these toys saved Lego after all.
I applaud the beard joke.
talking about random shit, somehow making it engaging, and putting bullets and octane in the intro. this is why i love this channel.
would definitely enjoy more of these alongside whatever larger projects you have.
thanks for the raycon sponsor link now i can watch 100 girlfriends at my family gathering without feeling embarrassed
real ones get their family to watch it with them
get sponsored by a company that sells speakers and then ill do it
@@HaydenTheHistorian guess what raycon sells 😏
family groupwatch is starting tonight
So the idea of this video is it’s basically a variety show with topic suggested by viewers? Awesome! This would be cool to see as a semi-regular series, maybe in the breaks between long in-depth videos.
As for another mini-topic for another of these videos: you mentioned “isekai” is now in the Oxford English Dictionary. How about a short history/catalogue of words that have entered the English vernacular from the anime community, especially as anime has become more popular over the years?
It would be cool too see a video on why some videogame series take on such drastic and radical genre changes, like jak and Daxter, banjo kazooie, prince of Persia, helldivers(arguably; 1 is a top down shooter while 2 is a third person shooter, but theyre both shooters), fallout, final fantasy(in recent years at least), I mean sure some are obvious like IP changing developers or new technologies becoming available to devs allowing them to experiment, but seeing your take on this idea I think is video worthy
My dude! Even when you're outta ideas, you still make some fire vids! I don't always watch a RUclipsr for the topic/content of their videos, I prefer to watch for the personality and charisma they bring to the platform. So even if it's a topic that's been covered to hell and back, I wouldn't mind seeing your hot take on the subject; just as long as it's a topic you can 1000% enjoy doing! Keep doin what you're doin! So far I've been enjoying your stuff!!
A buddy and I were just about to start working on a video about the history of gaming controllers right when you put yours out lol, speaking of video essay ideas
I think you'd create a pretty cool video on the topic of "Evolution of video game music" and on how it came to be so popular, who started to heavily invest in it, the meme culture surrounding it and why the heck recent gacha games especially go way harder with this than anyone reasonably should.
In other worlds, how did we go from tetris peep peep poop to, well... Nier.
Every "I talk about *stuff*" youtuber should do a tier-list of genres like the one in this vid. Very quick to-the-point summary of the person in question's tastes.
Would love an in-depth Lextorias exploration of anime hair.
Why is it spikey? Why is it pink, or blue, or mostly any color besides black?
A video where you watch the entire precure Series
thank you for having somewhat hope in us and thinking we're smart and well adjusted :D
... sorry about the truth of the matter though lmao
9:50 I was about to throw hands on that C SoL ranking, but then Iyashi gets S, so all's good.
History of youtube's raccomendation algorithm, how it shaped the content people made on the site trough the years.
Man I discovered you on the R34 vid and I just can't get enough of your vids.
on a first read my brain just blocked out everything after "R34" and I got so, *so* afraid omfg 😭
Make a video about the different developers/graphic engines where they’re all started and where they get their names.
I don't know whether you might have already seen it or not, but Zombie Land Saga may be enough to nudge that Idol ranking up a bit.
Seriously, it's incredible and I can't wait for the movie. Also, the announcement teaser for the movie was, itself, brilliant.
That was so fun to watch!
The idea initially sounded like a recipe for a disaster but some of the ideas were neat and you really made the best out of it.
Especially the history of RUclips sponsors was great. Would love a detailed deep dive into that
Got a bit weary when it came to the anime genre concept because so many get these wrong but I was pleasantly surprised.
Dragons's dogma 2 being 100$ is the cherry on top, normally AAA games are 70 or 80 if they feel greedy WITHOUT MICROTRANSACTIONS
Shouldn't they cost 80+ canadian dollars instead? Are there regional prices in Canada?
@@Romashka_Sov you mean AAA games? nope, the standard price is 70 in Quebec and never heard of regional prices, also same price for me and lextorias. 70 for a game is already an expense, over it is too much
@@nzeu725 no, i mean AAA games usually cost 60-70 without microtransactions, so i didn't understand why it was 70-80
@@Romashka_Sov games get more expensive, you see more games at 80 now and 70 is pretty common
Now do a pretty cure video pls
OMG PLEASEE
I agree.
We need to make him binge all of it as punishment for putting Mahou Shoujo in B tier
@@explosion9815 Ok, that’s actually genius lmao, I would put that in A tier because there’s no way any other genre can replicate how crazy it is
Video idea: A rundown of every edm genre (must go above 200, and include stuff like plunderphonics and neuro)
please continue this format it makes me feel like i’m learning something new
In portugal, in 2015, our biggest youtuber got a countrywide sponsorship by Agros, a milk company, and back then everyone called him a sellout for it. Then 2 years later everyone started taking sponsorships.
Interesting how time flies by
Your videos are so good. Literally just keep doing whatever
I love this style, would definitely watch more of these alongside your typical contemt
Nice video, I wasn't expecting to learn so much but I'm a changed man now!
I've got to look up that anime that transcended your tier list haha
7:16 - yo it's the batting center
well I guess it's the poppo across from the batting center
How all your videos, even if it's only talking about random topics, are so entertaining is something so rare to find these days
I swear you could talk about literally anything and I'll still be entertained
Honestly he can discuss whatever and ill probably watch the video. This has quickly become one of my favorite video essayist channels
It was a fun format and the sponsporship was VERY interesting!
Re: DD2 DLC, there is a limit on how many of that customization item you can buy from vendors, tbf... but the funny thing is there are mods that increase that amount, while also making them much cheaper. You can get any of the DLC items very easily with mods.
I was never expecting Dance With The Dead in your videos.
Absolutely amazing music choice :)
at the end of the dragons dogma 2 segment i cant make this up your last sentence was caught off with a dragons dogma 2 ad and i seriously thought it was a bit for a second 😭😭
That Raycon sponsorship gag near the end is genuinely the funniest meta joke any youtuber will every make
Here are, unsolicitedly, a few idea I'd like to see discussed in an essay:
- Gay/Trans/Gender representation in anime/manga (japanese public pop culture is savagely old style on these things, just think about one piece and in real life law they're more timid than victorian age british in recognizing people rights)
- Japanese game dev culture vs "western" game dev culture (job ethics, relationship of IP/producers/creatives, indie scene)
- Retro gaming (is it interesting, is it useful, why are people so snob about it, why is it so hard to push to new people who don't understand that diablo 1 in an incredible game even tough the grind is terrible)
Oooh, those are good ones!
Dope Video Idea for in between the insane uploads :D Take all the time you need!
this is fucking gold
I would definitely like to watch videos in this format regularly, in-between the deep dives that made me subscribe, just to get my (monthly...-ish?..) fix of Lextorias
Ecchi being simultaneously F tier and S tier is so true! There’s a fine line between it being the most hilarious and entertaining shit…and then there are uninteresting shows that should have just been full hentai since there wasn’t any real effort put into the plot.
Dang that was surprisingly substantial and interesting!
16:23 John Green is a champ
i loved this video! i hope you do more like it
I've enjoyed every damn video you've uploaded. There so well done. Do whatever keeps you sane. We'll keep enjoying it.
That Carl’s Jr promotion is something I didn’t know I remembered lol.
The only major sponsored event I can remember earlier than that was the RUclips Live platform event in 2008, sponsored by Flip Video and featuring numerous creators including FilmCow, Will It Blend, Smosh, and others.
12:59, no, my dude! Not a "war crime", but "mass tensei isekai"!
Just keep making random anime videos with the wheel. I love those.
Solid video. Loved the "grow a beard" bit. Now I patiently wait to see if my tweet at you turns into something more. >:D
I am almost convinced that the whole reason Dr. Faust exists in DMC5 is because Itsuno got that Capcom mandate to put in microtransactions for Red Orbs, went "Alright, whatever you say lmao", and then came up with the idea for a Hat that lets you farm a million orbs within 2 minutes, so you'd never even feel the mildest temptation towards actually spending real money
This was good! But I like longer videos that do take a lot of research and go deep on a singular topic. The random anime watch episodes are fun too for an easier-to-make video!
TIME OUT! you've only made 30 videos and have this much success already? Mad respect!
11:10: death parade is technically an isekai, just think about that....
i found you one video ago, your matrix commentary, i dont think you have lost any of your great qualities.
Thinking on early sponsorships always puts me in mind of those British sketch comedy channels like TomSka or Jack and Dean. Probably cause they are pretty memorable. Just thinking of 'Marmite is Terrible' but that's from 2010
I love the song you used in the intro
I swear the SMTIV soundtrack lives rent free in damn near every RUclips video and i love it.
those Mio water flavor things are the earliest sponsored content i remember seeing, maybe around 2009 or 2010? i know i saw it on multiple channels, but the 'sassy gay friend' series is the only one i can actually recall the name of which had it. i remember being bewildered because it seemed like such a random ass thing to be advertising. oh, if only i knew..
ok, puttin fantasy in C tier and sci-fi in S tier is something i will fight you over Lex
13:43
The Circle Circle Dot Dot Lego animation in Paris Hilton's favourites is hilarious 😂
Man, I used to watch that video so often as a kid admiring the cool looking Lego guys and fluent animation (non native speaker so I didnt understand any of the foul language in their 😅). I saw that thumbnail for half a second and knew what it was.
But what on earth is it doing there?
It is a pity not more people have the Green brothers as their biggest inspiration, and instead talk about wanting to be the next Mr Beast or Pewdiepie.
Some video ideas I have:
1. History of video-sharing sites like RUclips b4 RUclips was born (There's ShareYourWorld from 1997, which is pretty much lost media at that point when it comes to its videos, since not every vid from that site gets to be uploaded somewhere else)
2. History of vtubers b4 the term of it and video platforms such as Twitch and RUclips were born, or pretty much history of pre-vtubers or vtubers pre-Kizuna AI and pre-Hololive (there's the Mario head from Mario Teaches Typing and SCES in 1992, which pretty much predates the entirety of how vtubers work, so is the Wario Head from E3 1996, the one with the infamous "You want fun, Wario show you fun" quote used in those Wario Apparition memes b4)
Lex, the demographics you listed are also definitely genres and both happen to be the same word because the genre took it's name from that target demographic. But because it's confusing people usually want to be more specific in naming a subgenre like battle shonen to avoid any vagueness.
But they are definitely genres onto themselves. The closest analogy off the top of my head would be drum and bass shares it's name with and comes from the instruments, but you can have a band with just those 2 instruments and not be playing music that is the drum and bass genre.
So you can use the word josei to refer to either the demographic or the genre.
My dog can be named Spot and spots are a thing my dog named Spot can have.
Such a good description of ecchi, it's crazy!
(I am also a little sad my contribution wasn't included - "A History of Fishing Minigames")
Can I cry with yall for FutureCanoe accepting betterhelp sponshorships
12:58 Love how you put this genre in F tier.
you fucking psyched me out AGAIN right at the end w the raycon thing i literally automatically skipped ahead LOL
Your videos always kick ass.
The foundational work of modern isekai is _A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court_ by Mark Twain, which predates John Carter by 75 years and is more like Japanese isekai as well since it's about a guy magically transported to a fantasy world where he knows all the tropes.
anime genres explanation/tierlist is good enough to clip out as an independent video.
so it's easier to share on the 200,000 anime discords out there.
video idea:
Whats up with incest going mainstream and did it really started with Oreimo???
So, while im a bit late to the video idea thing i still have a suggestion, but its not for a specific idea. just a method to find some. maybe. I'd look at your interests, hobbies, etc. and think about what questions you had when you first got into them, and see if any of those questions can turn into video ideas.
example: i like computers, and one of the first things that i learned about was cores, and how CPU's are structured. So maybe a video on how we went from single to multi core processors could be cool. or maybe how programs evolved to use multiple cores rather than just one and how that affected the market.
New Lex video moment
I liked this, wish it was longer, i enjoyed your hour long vids
Looking good Lextorias!
How better to establish yourself as the guy who can make a video essay about anything, than this
Honestly, genuinely interesting way to do a video.
I think this is in some way, the developers attempt at getting their way with the product. Like with DMC5 they were forced to put in a micro-transaction system for in-game currency but they also give you a weapon that cums in-game currency, constantly. Maybe this is the devs making the transaction so shitty that the feedback is going to be negative 100% thus potentially causing change.
I like that you actually grew and then kept the beard. It looks good.
There are like a trillion of topics one could cover - just open any encyclopedia (like Wikipedia) on a random topic and cover it.
Listening to a raycon ad through my raycon earbuds
Lex: "...blew up, due to everyone being forced inside."
Me: "Wait, what was that?"
You're really good at tracing the history behind components of media. What about the histories of specific anime and video game tropes? Or go the other way, and trace how "Journey to the West" and the like have bled into the modern media landscape.
For some reason I just knew one of the Green brothers would come up when you stared talking about proto-youtube. Hank and John are the OG goats
My original RUclips account I made when I was a kid in 2005, and I thought that RUclips was a long established website that my big brother only had just finally told me about. I didn’t really know I’ve been here forever until now. The original “0 views… fell off” copy paste in 2005 and 2006 was “RUclips is getting really comfortable showing ads” and then it became “RUclips is getting really comfortable with two ads” and then into “RUclips is getting really comfortable with two unskipabble ads”. When myself and others were posting and watching videos RUclips for a time really had no ads and the idea it would ever have ads on it was unthinkable, and people getting paid for creating content was almost taboo. Content made by users for users with no cash incentive. Internet was dope before it tried to become TV.
How about a video going over your couch selection criteria?
oh my god memory unlocked, I remember seeing those Carl's Jr burger videos. Man, I wish burgers cost $6 these days...
Was not expecting to hear a Bullets and Octane song....Hell yeah!
Some of those suggestions sound like people didn't do their "100 channels" homework!
Also, I barely watch any anime to get most of the tier list, but for the anthology demographics you left out "seinen but in yellow." They adapt those into anime sometimes, I think.
18:20 Back then we called Erik fat, but he is now twice the man he was back then.
Today, i learned: transformers Shattered glass is an isakai comic (some of the issues follows main earth cliffjumper as he goes through a world where the morality of all the characters you know are flipped)
was the skyrim background for the "single player microtransactions" section deliberate? the creation club is the peak of single player transactions; the integration in the world is awful (notably arcane accessories having all the spell tomes in a chest in a dungeon), many of the items ruin the progression of the game if you choose to use them (notably bow of shadows giving you permanent invisibility when you're sneaking that can be obtained at level 1) and the best part? bethesda didn't even make it, they outsourced it to other people
before the "anniversary edition" came out, it would have cost hundreds to buy, and the fact they felt the need to put it up for £20 is hilarious, if a bit sad
I gotta tell ya man even though i dunno if youll see this in the sea of comments but you're content is pretty fuckin good. Hard to find good channels these days but i can tell how much effort you put into every one of them and you keep my attention the whole time so congrats man youve earned yourself another sub, now ill be able to say i was here before you hit 1mil hahaha
