Ryan. This channels name is perfect. Because its not just a berserk channel, or a movie rating for hellraiser channel. Other great horror movies or shows, hunting sasquatch. It's all of these things, and that's Ryan's real life. That's what we love
Hey Ryan, I've been a long-time follower of your channel. I always watch your videos on my phone from my second account, but today I've gotten out of bed in the middle of the night to write you a comment for the first time. It's going to be a longer message, and I know that sometimes one doesn't have the energy to respond to everything, but I know you'll read it. First and foremost, I want to say what a tremendous inspiration you are. And I'm not exaggerating. I discovered your channel through the Berserk series, and since then, I've been obsessed with your videos about Berserk lore. Not only did they have a great atmosphere and were perfectly done, but most importantly, I saw your great wisdom, life experience, psychological analysis, as well as hints of your burnout, depression, frustration, and how you managed it all. I was going through the same thing at that time. And again, in today's video, you speak from my soul. All the questions, feelings, expectations, and hopes that I feel about my own channel (which I create also thanks to you) you answered here. I know how frustrating RUclips can be, how much work and time is behind every video, which sometimes seems like wasted time, but it's not. Not only for me, but for many others, you are an inspiration, a role model, a teacher, a friend, and that's why I want to say, keep doing what you're doing "stubbornly". You are proof that if we work on something long and passionately enough, there's nothing we can't achieve. By the way, what movie would you like to create? :)
I have infinite respect for RUclips content creators. The hours it Takes to make something entertaining while being paranoid of how your video will be received seems agonizing.
'The feeling of near constant failure' haha.. Oh God, I feel that. I spent so long on my latest video and it bombed so hard. Barely limped past 1k views. Nightmare. But the next video will be a banger! At least that's what I always tell myself.
Dude, the Berserk Monster Manuel about the Godhand wouldn’t stop showing up on my algorithm. RUclips basically kept telling me to watch it until I finally caved. Best decision ever.
Ryan, it’s ok if you dont see this or respond to it! You are special and inspirational because you believed in what you love/care about and despite that not being the most profitable strategy or efficient path to success you’ve leveraged it in a way that amplifies who you truly are and your passion for the craft you enjoy! That is no small feat bro. MOST people say they love their jobs or whatever they do because it allows them money material things certain schedules etc but if offered something better they would trade it in a heartbeat. They actually settled for the options that are typical in most cases. You chose something completely outlandish in the time you did it and even against what most would say is better judgement, took your leap of faith. In every video you make we can see and feel that you wouldn’t trade this for anything. This is who you are, what you want, and you aren’t taking no for an answer even when its unideal and not going as well as you’d hope! That’s remarkable resolve and passion. It doesn’t matter what you make because just that hunger, commitment and how relatable you are has already sold us. Being real and humble paid off and brought to you the community you sought and viewers for the most part who are really invested in your journey! That moment where you are describing how hard you worked at it and how badly you wanted it to happen when it wasn’t ideal or going well… that shakiness in your throat you get when something is hitting you at the foundation of your core. You can’t fake that! You’re an awesome human my guy and your content competes with people who have TEAMS, capital and more time. You’re doing amazing and I hope that even if you dont hit a million or hundreds of thousands of views/subscribers that you do get enough to keep going with it and eventually reach your goal of directing a film! You are definitely capable of that and the community/your support is only going to grow the further along you get 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼. Love the personal vids and cant wait for more man keep it up no matter what! 👊🏼 THANK YOU!
Hi Ryan, I have been following your channel for years now across a couple channels actually. Firstly, I appreciate your content because your tastes are similar to mines and in your personal life, your commitment to the gym and always talking about that is similar as well. The way you articulate on subjects I like is what hooked me to your content. Second, congrats on the growth of your channel. I want to offer some suggestions on things I think you should be capitalizing on to maximize your earning potential. Reaction content. I see that you have increased a bit on some of the reaction content you do. I know it takes hours for you to come up with a script when reviewing content but it would also be interesting to see your commentary in real-time. There's a big RUclips market for people who react to anime/tv/movies/music, and all sorts of other content. I know for certain I would watch a reaction from you on shows I enjoy. This could lead to you adding more content to your patreon for full/uncut reactions, polls on which shows to watch, etc. It might be easier to start with content like movies because they are one offs and don't require a commitment like if you were to react to 7 seasons of a show you like as I did with Buffy 😆. I started it and I got to finish, as much as I love it I feel like I could've gained more viewership reacting to something more modern. I love Buffy though, so I won't stop till finished. But, I also don't mind if I never get another sub because this is my time capsule. Also, the cool thing about reactions is that people will view videos that are years old simply because they want to see your reaction to the "next episode." There are so many channels that do reaction content and some more specifically anime. You have a great perspective on anime I enjoy and you are very knowledgeable on horror. I watched all your reviews on Vinland Saga season 2 which were great. I know for certain I would have enjoyed watching your reaction as well. This is all just friendly suggestion because I think you have loads of potential and I can see you excelling. This also doesn't mean that you would need to stop the kinds of videos you currently love doing. I'd be happy to assist in any way or answer any questions you have about editing and such. Just let me know 😀. Peace brother!
I'm a newer viewer of your channel, brought in by the great horror retrospectives. I have no aspirations of doing YT full time but I have so much respect for those who do. Our output is super low effort, TBH. We both come up with topics, film ourselves in 1 take having a discussion for 5 - 10 minutes, put some supporting pics in and schedule it. Even with the vast difference in quality of our channels (with yours being FAR superior) I still totally hear a lot of stuff you listed as "Worst". I am sure it's amplified SO much more for people like you who put so much more effort in.
I started watching your videos in 2020 because of Berserk but you rapidly turned into one of my favorite youtubers because of your character, your tenacity, your willingness to put yourself out there and try as hard as you can, your supportiveness of others and how insipiringbyou are when you say one has to keep struggling and never give up (very in line eoth Berserk) because you're not just saying it but doing that. Also I thinl such good character is reflected by the amazing and healthy community I found both here and on the Discord
Two things that might help with your top 2 issues: 1: Your One Piece reviews got crazy views (which you noticed). 2: Jujutsu Kaisen is doing crazy waves on RUclips (I've seen weekly videos on smaller channels than you getting 100 000+ views and I've seen you get recommended it alot). Doing reviews on these two series could provide a big boom to you in the algorithm which will help big time with your channel. I'm not saying you have to enjoy them or give fake reviews, you giving criticisms would still get views and have people talking in the comments.
We’re not fans only because we want to hear your take on things, it’s because of who you are mate ! I’ve said it before but we’re the lucky ones here, this channel is YT’s best kept secret by far We’re here to support you on this amazing journey and we’ll be here when you finally get to make that movie of yours 👊🏻
Hey Ryan, i would like to say that never Stop making these videos man because your videos gives me a whole new perspective about that thing like your critical understanding is literally great and how you can talk about that.
This is a great insight into what it is like being a RUclipsr full time. It really is a dream job that not many people are able or willing to stick to consistently. This video by Ryan and the video Brandon Buckingham made about his experience trying to find success on RUclips are quite similar because it is lays out just how long it could take for viewership to actually grow over time.
Listening to your reviews is like hanging out with a good buddy and I support the hell out of you man. My endeavors feel like thankless slogs so I can empathize to some degree. Keep this up because i fucking love it.
I respect immensely people that know what they like and do it instead of following trends. The horror retrospectives are easily my favorite videos of yours.
I remember when I subbed, you only had about 2000. I think just under 2000 subs and honestly, one of the best channels I've ever subscribed to. I think it was early pandemic days and I was pregnant with my daughter and home because I was so sick with morning sickness I couldn't work. It was before everything got shut down though. Anyway, I'd somewhat recently gotten into berserk in the year or so prior and one of your videos popped up and I decided to watch it. I binged a bunch of your videos and subscribed. I also remember asking you to make a discord server and you didn't know how lol glad you figured it out though. It's been a delight watching you and your channel grow over the years. I'm looking forward to seeing where you and your channel go from here and as always, I wish you all the best going forward :)
Thank you so much for this Ryan! I just started my channel in 2022 and it has been a fun journey. I remember getting really into berserk in 2020 and found you. It has been great to see your growth. You were one of the reasons why I started. I feel lucky how fast my journey has been compared to others. One day I hope to get to where you are 😁 P.s. I would love to have you for a podcast some time.
It sucks to see how discouraging youtube can be even when you're at the point you are right now. I wish i could do more. Im excited every time you upload, man. I'll continue to watch all your videos and show support!
Appreciate the words of wisdom, Ryan. You’re a great guy, you always provide excellent insight in everything you make, which I appreciate. Keep struggling, and can’t wait to celebrate you making it 😎
This is a very interesting video. I'm pretty new to your channel and have been enjoying it. Really hope this continues to work out for you and improve.
My channel is heavily inspired by your work, though not as good, and I can attest that what you're saying is true. Two years, and working my ass off got me to the 1k sub mark. At 1.34k and while it's mostly Berk shorts these days, the progression of my channel is good. One of my most popular videos is on Naruto's Kisame and when it got to the algo, I knew that this was my calling. The past year has been a real effort, but I get good engagement, especially with my Berserk videos. I've thought a lot about giving up, but right now, if I don't create content, I feel like crap. > Hours wasted: my videos on Berk get me views, but when I covered Vagabond, it was excruciatingly painful cause the views were non existent. I plan to make collabs with some YTers in my sub mark and I have before, but man the 9 to 5 just grinds you down...
I'm starting to read Taiga of Genesis by Kouji Mori. It's about prehistoric times. It's a bit of a slow burn but I feel like it's gonna get pretty crazy.
I know you post your gym content on insta but would you consider posting your workouts or gym logs on RUclips? Something like Ivan doing squat everyday. Could even be a shorter version every now and then and you could have some real talks in them.
I genuinely the key is to be “relatable” It’s really simple but it’s not, because it’s hard to get people to “care” you don’t need to be an “actor” like someone told me that if Filthy Frank dropped a video with no promo it would blow up.. maybe you get what I’m saying
Ryan, you should start doing short films, like 10 minutes short films portraying a short story, which you direct and act in, may be with someone. And make a seperate channel for that.
Honestly RUclips is so viable, convenient, and fun to do. However, the copyright and algorithm doesn’t help it with aspiring people but I have no doubt that it is possible to make it big. Just have to have an agenda in what content you put out, who are you appealing to, and what is trending (I think). For me, I didn’t hit 1K until 2020-2021 because of the Big Floppa memes lol
I want to make RUclips channel called the Templar Temple. I just don’t know what I want to talk about maybe male remodels or something like that. Don’t know if it will catch on
I know this is not the kind of video to do this kind of recomendation, but, please, read Kingdom, really will change your life! Its THAT kind of story that you will love and be addicted to.
The part about living by your own schedule hits home close for me. It's something I wish to obtain too. Working minimal wage jobs is soul crushing. But seeing you not giving up motivates me to keep struggling too.
I just decided to start making RUclips content last week and I’m currently learning to edit videos (working on a John Wick edit as we speak) but I plan on making other types of content as well. Do you think I should upload on separate channels for diffferent types of videos or is it ok to post everything on one channel?

Ryan's more personal videos are some of the best.
No, they are his best videos. They just don’t get the views he wants.

Tes musleman?
Muslim? @VampireA
Yeah man the real talks are easily my favourite content here
Definitely man
Without a doubt

It’s risky as hell. Anyways this is why he is called RealLifeRyan.

Hi Ryan. I subscribed for your Berserk content but your personality is pretty awesome so I try to watch most of your videos when I can 🤭

Thanks Ryan. Always wishing you the best for your channel.
10/10 video ryan. kudos on the honesty.
I've been watching you sense your gantz reviews man your one of the most authentic youtubers I've seen. Man, never stop the grind
It sucks to see how discouraging youtube can be even when you're at the point you are right now. I wish i could do more. Im excited every time you upload, man. I'll continue to watch all your videos and show support!
Man i really ❤ your videos, specially these real talk ones.
Ryan, this video is MUCH appreciated!
Appreciate the words of wisdom, Ryan. You’re a great guy, you always provide excellent insight in everything you make, which I appreciate. Keep struggling, and can’t wait to celebrate you making it 😎
He's so handsome.

This is a very interesting video. I'm pretty new to your channel and have been enjoying it. Really hope this continues to work out for you and improve.
Keep up the good work, man! Definitely one of my favorite RUclips channels, these personal videos set you apart.
Ryan keeping it Real as usual, you love to see it.
You seem like a cool dude. I wish you nothing but success.
Dune Books!! So damn good.
The youtuber I appreciate the most
I wish you only the best and hope to watch your future movie in a cinema!🔥

It's a bit of a slow burn but I feel like it's gonna get pretty crazy.
keep up the good work man!
Keep up the great work I’m doing my best to keep up with every video
Great video Ryan!
So glad you persisted all those years with this channel
We need that Ryan movie asap
hey Ryan just know there are people who do go through your playlists and watch the other videos and very much enjoy them
It's going to be so awesome to rewatch this video once this channel actually reaches 300K!
You're definitely an inspiration ryan. You probably just don't know it yet.
I know you post your gym content on insta but would you consider posting your workouts or gym logs on RUclips? Something like Ivan doing squat everyday. Could even be a shorter version every now and then and you could have some real talks in them.
We appreciate you Ryan.. Strugglers unite🦾🦾🦾
god bless u and wish u well so on
I genuinely the key is to be “relatable” It’s really simple but it’s not, because it’s hard to get people to “care” you don’t need to be an “actor” like someone told me that if Filthy Frank dropped a video with no promo it would blow up.. maybe you get what I’m saying
Real life talk from real life Ryan
I have Respect for you.
Ryan, you should start doing short films, like 10 minutes short films portraying a short story, which you direct and act in, may be with someone. And make a seperate channel for that.

i like the old skool anime reviews
You’re the best ryan
I want to make RUclips channel called the Templar Temple. I just don’t know what I want to talk about maybe male remodels or something like that. Don’t know if it will catch on
Too much work=No Life Ryan.
Nice and interesting idea
Some of ur videos have gotten me through some hard times man
Especially the one about being a 'Yes man'
I know this is not the kind of video to do this kind of recomendation, but, please, read Kingdom, really will change your life! Its THAT kind of story that you will love and be addicted to.
The part about living by your own schedule hits home close for me. It's something I wish to obtain too. Working minimal wage jobs is soul crushing. But seeing you not giving up motivates me to keep struggling too.
Maybe venture into video game retrospectives🤔 i think youd be good at that
I just decided to start making RUclips content last week and I’m currently learning to edit videos (working on a John Wick edit as we speak) but I plan on making other types of content as well.
Do you think I should upload on separate channels for diffferent types of videos or is it ok to post everything on one channel?
Man, Musicians can relate.
❤
Ryan you didn’t mention me as one of the best things smh
maybe it would help if you became a Vtuber.
