Boranzz here, if you remember from the streams. Arnold, you are the only reaction channel I genuinely follow. If they are calling you dead, I am calling you human. I really do love your content and seeing you. You said "I shouldn't be getting this after two weeks of not uploading." I don't agree. You can't be perfect. If you need to see comments this is the first comment you gotta see. I've been following you for years now. I know how much care you give to your videos and it is more than just sitting and watching for you. Just for you to know. WE CAN SEE you and we LOVE you. Please take this comment seriously. Love you. We love you. I hope this comment gets to you
I watch his channel every single day. I adore this man and loved his reaction content and I always rewatch his rwby and rvb reactions because i love this guy. But it’s been years since you began season 12. You say you’ll upload rvb but still no upload, you broke your promise. I don’t condone any of the harassment from other people but I honestly don’t blame them. You could pull in mad views from just finishing the rest of the show but I doubt we won’t see an upload until the genshin channel starts dying
@@YodaOnABenderyou probably don’t understand the feeling of having thousands of people asking for you to watch this and watch that. I do not, but I’m empathic enough to not be upset that he’s standing his ground against so many people. Fuck em. It’s his channel and no one else’s. He shouldn’t have to apologize that the people who WILLINGLY clicked on his channel are being parasocial.
@@raginginsanity3718 he absolutely needs to apologise. He’s lied to us. He kept promising he’d finish the series, when people got annoyed that he wasn’t fulfilling that promise he decided to throw a hissy fit instead of just being honest and admitting he isn’t interested in the show anymore. Him turning this into a “nah, not my fault! It’s everyone else’s fault that I don’t wanna do it, shouldn’t have complained about me lying, womp womp” actually spineless
@@YodaOnABender did he actually admit that’s exactly what happened? I wouldn’t blame him for pulling back for being harassed by hundreds of people. In the army when one person messes up the whole squad gets the heat so maybe I’m just programmed to accept someone else’s punishment I don’t know man. All I know is I wouldn’t want to be dealing with all that stress so I’d probably do the same thing. Btw my question at the beginning was for real is that what he says somewhere in the video?
@@raginginsanity3718 dude stop glazing him. He’s a fucking reaction RUclipsr, that’s literally the laziest content imaginable and he can’t even do that 😂
It's like you mentioned. Nobody covers Red vs Blue like you do, especially considering how old it is. I look forward to the 1-2 hour discussion more than the actual episodes. I've seen them 100's of times, I've seen people react to them 100's of times. However your discussions, thoughts, and theories breaths new life into the show. It sometimes feels like the season is airing for the first time. I get just as giddy now seeing your reactions uploaded as I did 10 years ago seeing new episode uploaded on to the RT site. I'll be here for RvB, RWBY, anime, video games, and whatever comes in the future!
At this point we might as well not hold out hope for the idea of him posting rvb anymore. He says he's gonna post and then doesn't and he gets mad at ppl for hating on him when he breaks his promises. I was a fan but man it's hard to trust this guy😂. If he doesn't wanna post it thats completely fine but he needs to stop saying he will.
Literally all we want is for him to sit and watch maybe 40 ish minutes of red vs blue and it’s somehow taken him a year to do that. And somehow we’re being unreasonable for being frustrated with him
What sucks too is that he is like 10 episodes away from finishing it. If he would just commit to RvB for like a month he could wrap it up and get this monkey off his back. I don’t really think anyone cares if he watches anything beyond season 13. Maybe Season 14 but I wouldn’t be upset he called it quits there.
I completely understand and this is downright uncalled for. I have been immensely excited and eagerly waiting for RVB content, but I understand that you have other audiences and interests you want to explore. These people should not and do not speak for all of us who like your RVB content. Keep up the good work Arnold, and I’m excited to see what else you put out :)
Honestly, I’ve often come back to this video to read comments and see if any progress has been made, and I’m also very negative with my comments. I’m not going to apologise as I think that everything I have said has been 100% valid, but I know that this shit isn’t happening anymore so I’m just gonna leave it. Arnold, I genuinely hope that you finish RvB, not even for this channel but just because it’s a good show. S13 has a great ending and S14 has several lore dumps that I know you’ll love. So watch that on your own time and enjoy it even if it’s not a reaction. See ya
jesus i'm so sorry you have to put up with this i've always had complete faith you'd get back to RvB eventually, even if it took multiple years, and i've always been completely willing to wait because it's always extremely worth it, because you're absolutely right, no one covers it like you do, and i've always loved your reactions and discussions~ and also, even tho RvB (S1-13) is my favourite show of all time, i care about other things, have other interests, so i'm not bored waiting, and i'm also not like obsessed with you like these people seem to be? like have they literally had nothing else to do for the past year? lol i've followed your RvB reactions from the beginning and whenever a hiatus happens, i'll be honest, i'm not like actively excited for your next reaction to drop, i just kinda don't think about it and then when it happens i go "oh FUCK yes" we've been on this RvB journey for so long and the fact that these shithead children are trying to ruin this for the people who've been patiently and understandingly waiting and actually love your videos is so goddamn annoying
It’s not exactly that; he has a right to be pissed off at the RvB fanbase, they are quite toxic. The problem with this video is that it created an all-lose situation. He cannot be criticized now because he’ll delay the RvB videos if he gets criticism and his fans that are defending him will get punished. Arnold also loses as he doesn’t get views (look at the last few videos… he gets less that 3K views yet this one has 15K. The exception being RWBY… people subscribed for RWBY and RvB and those vids have the most views, who knew?) The only winner here is spite. So here is what I propose: All the fans here for just RvB temporarily unsubscribe. It gives him some breathing room and stops us getting involved and messing with his other passions. Then, let’s say next year, we all come back. We may see several new videos of his high-quality analysis that we all love. If the wave of toxic comments return at the same time, then honestly the shitty haters get what they deserve. I subbed for RvB and I understood his frustrations, but at the same time, it’s been two months and we still aren’t allowed to say anything. Again, I’m not calling for a mass unsub out of hate, just a temporary one so things can cool off :)
This video is wild. Check in every few months, and leave a comment relating to another community member about how disappointed you are? According to Arnold that means you're obsessed! Frustrated that you paid for his patreon expecting new content?? Obsessed! Dude is lucky people even _remember_ to check in for uploads. Now you've got the Erased/Beastars/AoT fans going through the same thing.
Im not much of a commenter but to be fair... Its been 3 years since he uploaded season 12... While i dont condone the hate and behavior, i dont really blame them either... for me its boiled down to a less than hopeful "you'll get to it if you get to it" mentality. i only check on the RvB stuff every year or so at this point and thats about it...
As someone who watches your rvb content specifically and only rvb content, I have to say, I'm proud of you calling those assholes out for being rude and ignorant for no good reason. For you guys who are rvb fans that watch Arnold's reaction and rvb content specifically, I have to say: I understand all of your frustrations and anger about Arnold not being transparent of the rvb content upload schedule, but that doesn't give you the right to control him and tell him what to do. To be honest, I do feel disappointed and slightly mad whenever Arnold upload something that isn't rvb when it's been years since the last upload. But that doesn't mean I have the right to shit on him for not doing so, I mean, who the fuck am I anyway? I'm not someone who pays for his Patreon, I'm not giving him views nor support when he's at the lowest, I'm merely someone who is grateful and entertained from Arnold's rvb content, for free. The short way to say it: y'all gotta know your fucking place. The fact we can watch him for free, not obligated to pay him for the entertainment he gave was already a gift and privilege itself. And for Arnold, you go my guy. Teach those cheap assholes a lesson. Show them who's the boss. I really appreciate and thank you so deeply for the great rvb content when I was depressed or at the lowest time of my life. ❤
yea gotta agree with this one here. it sucks that he's not at all been reliable with his rvb content. it's been pretty disappointing for a show that's been out and not updated for years, a show that he says he enjoys and appears to be really invested in, but at the end of the day, the guy has to go at his own pace. it's the same thing I see with gaming channels that get comments begging them to play this game or that game, asking where this or that is. poor TheGamingLemon being so demotivated by those comments to cancel Alien Attack part 2, poor Zanny feeling the need to go on the rant and explain multiple times that his channel is a "whatever he wants" channel. as a viewer, we should only watch the videos we want. and if we get an upload that we don't wanna watch, sure it can suck, but just don't fuckin watch it. and certainly don't go and berate the channel for not uploading what YOU want. it's pretty infuriating myself, so I can only imagine how it feels for the channel's runner(s) themselves.
Less replying to the comment, more piggy-back riding on it because I have similar vibes with them. I'm one of those people that see RUclipsrs as a TV channel. Sometimes, I'll stumble on a video someone makes that peaks my interest. And if I'm not interested in it, I simply change the channel. I'm sorry I'm not interested in what you offered, but you do you, and you do what makes you happy and what makes you money. (The money is secondary though.) I never compare, and I never throw negativity towards the person. But I won't make demands because its their content, not mine. I've always been a huge fan of RvB, and I tried getting into RWBY in the first episodes, but it simply was not for me. I'm one of the people that are disappointed that you stopped making RvB content, but I never really lashed out about it. Why would I make someone miserable because they're not giving me what I want? That's simply a very inhumane, selfish and unfair way to act. I'm glad to hear you're doing RvB reacts again, because I genuinely believe you have the best reactions, but if it's not making you happy, I'll be sad, but I'll also understand; your happiness is important. My happiness is also important, but I can find it in other ways, which is hard for some people, so they vent their frustration at you, and that sucks. You, however, need to put a lot of effort and editing into the videos you make, and you're also capturing your emotions on camera. If you're not happy, or stressed out about doing it, I'd rather you not do it because anyone's content is at their best when they have the heart to do it, especially if your raw emotions are part of the content. I'll also say: when you post RvB content, say to the people that genuinely care about you, your mental state, your hobbies and everything you do: "Thanks for supporting me, I really appreciate it." Say to the people that aren't attacking you, but are only watching your RvB content: "Thanks for watching my videos. Hopefully you enjoyed yourself." And to the people that HAVE been attacking you and are watching the RvB content you've been hesitating to put out because of them, say: "Thanks for the money, assholes." (You can only say that last bit if your videos are monetized and you're earning revenue from this channel.)
Gonna play devils advocate a bit here, not saying people should demand that he upload specific content but the dude has taken almost a decade to watch 12.5 seasons of a show that has about 45 hours of total runtime (not including the PSA's). It took 2 of those years for him to react to half of season 13. I personally don't want him to binge watch it but you can't be too surprised when people start being assholes when content they enjoy gets sidelined for years.
I think I can understand the frustration on both ends, to be honest. And both are kind of valid, as I see them. On one hand, I think when people say things like "It sucks that Arnold won't get to this point," it's because they've already waited so long, and hoped for something to happen so much, that they've come to expect that it will not. Even if they really, truly wish to see it. People can only be told "Don't worry guys, it i's going to happen! I promise!" so many times before they start to nod their heads, or shrug, or say "Yeah, alright. We'll see." It's somewhat understandable. I am someone who believes both can be done, and is also kind of skeptical when someone just tells me the same thing over and over again, because actions over words matter much more to me. So while I do understand what you mean when expressing your annoyance with those who come off as, or are aggressive towards your absence, I can also believe that those people may be living their lives, and just talk about it in that moment. It doesn't take very long to leave a comment on something, especially a short one. Overall, though, generally, I do get what you were saying there. It is interesting too, seeing people rotate around the same space. I can only think of three things: A. the people that like RvB only are invested in RvB stuff and seek out those who make stuff in that sphere. B. Those people definitely do have other interests, and you're only really seeing them in that sphere because you're in it too [think of it like a neighborhood, 'you see your neighbors because you're in the same area', sort of thing.] C. Both A and B can be true, but there may only be a limited amount of content creators that are covering that particular thing, and you happened to be one of them. Your 'loss' [for lack of a better term] would mean one less creator for that thing in question, and maybe they're angry about that. On the other hand, none of that means they should or can feel entitled. Upset, _maybe,_ sure. But it's not their channel, and it's not their stuff. They might enjoy how you react to things, or your person, but they have to understand that you are _still_ a person. Your _own_ person. You having to deal with all these comments, are rightfully annoyed by the fact that there are others going into your comment section and demanding, or feeling entitled to your content, and are talking about you that way in other people's comments as well. That's definitely something that would annoy me, and while it's mostly foreseen [because people are people, and they will talk], it's not warranted. I'm glad that you're taking care of yourself, because without you, there _is_ no "MurderOfBirds." You are more important than the channel you're running, you know? I'll always say that to Cal, and I extend that to you, too. 💟
I can understand the frustration when one of the best reactors in the game goes on hiatuses but it really highlights how a large portion of audiences now don’t see content creators as hard working people and instead as work-horses that they turn against when the dopamine stream slows down. When compared to other reactors you usually add a ton more in depth discussion and you can tell from the note taking that you are passionate about the series you cover and the investment of time put into the writing and editing of the videos are evident. Even if i'm not interested in some of the current anime reactions doesn’t mean i'd hate watch or comment, I just go on the search for other content to watch while I wait. loving AOT and can't wait for RVB and future series
I'm not gomma be rude I'm just gonna say this, it's been a decade. Technoblade is gone, I can only imagine that some may have actually died, waiting for you, just like how some people actually could not wait and passed on waiting for kingdom hearts 3. That, and it's a simple matter of sticking to Ur word. A mistake is fine, 2 mistakes is ok. Saying something about rvb over 3 times,and still breaking it. Well what can be said then? Over years too? Is that not just being a liar?
I’m someone who has admittedly been annoyed a few times that you haven’t uploaded red vs blue in so long but after watching this video I completely understand not wanting to reward people ruining your comment section with jokes that make fun of you as a person and I’m looking forward to seeing you finish the show and I would just like to say that this honesty from this video has earned you a subscriber and a new long term viewer
Nearly finished the vid and got to the part where you said the good people probably aren't watching this Just wanted to say I watched cause the title scared me into thinking you were dropping the show You are right tho the wait sucks but I have other stuff to occupy my time and I mean it when I comment the wait was worth it
Okay, it's been long enough. If Arnold get's 150K or 200K, we can officially start bugging him about Red Vs Blue again. It can be his Silver Campaign like Lythero where everyone's allowed to bug him about it cause it's become a running joke. You need to have a Lythero moment when you become bigger.
As someone who used to watch your RvB stuff every monday in college, it was always a treat, but you doing what you enjoy doing is the most important, and I watch your new anime reactions too. Do what you enjoy the most! I personally just like seeing people's "OMG" and crying moments to great parts, and season 13 ends so beautifully, which is what had me excited to see from you. Regardless, anyone who says you have to finish don't care about your opinions or wants, don't listen to them. Do what you want to do
Also, as someone who helps in the scene of content creation, I have seen several other content creators who have dropped Halo get hate from Halo fans every single video asking for more Halo videos. Seems RvB community doing the same and it's a shame. Don't listen to em
I love you Murder! I'm so glad that you are finding new content and continuing your success! You have made me happy for many years and I am looking forward to following you to your new content for many years to come. I know it is hard to dismiss the haters, please know that you have more lovers. Take care of you first. I will always be here for you.
i’d like to say thank you for uploading this and bringing this to light. this really sucks and im sorry you have to deal with these people:( i did really enjoy your rvb videos however i will always enjoy whatever you decide to post. i’m here for the content itself yeah, but most importantly i am here for you. you are a lovely and comforting presence in my life and to many of my friends. your content gets me and plenty of others through good and bad times. it’s honestly more of a tradition for my friendgroup to anticipate your reactions than the actual content. whatever you decide to post or talk about i know that me and many others will stick by and enjoy :) thank you for being you man, we really appreciate you!!!!
“The reason is because my content is good” THIS IS IT! It’s so true. It’s the reason I kept checking your channel time and time again for the show. (Nowadays I’m also a fan of your genshin content too, and I’m a big anime fan so I’m interested in your new stuff). I really hate that you’re getting shit on by these types of people and if I were you I would just block them (but I understand your reasons for not doing so). But I’m glad you’re putting your foot down.
Dude, your a content creator. I’ve been a fan for a long time. I understand even though my field is entirely different, sometimes I don’t want to open blender. Sometimes I don’t want to spend a hour making something easy. Sometimes I just want to hang out with my friends. You’re doing the best you can. You don’t got to try this hard for us. We understand if you don’t feel like it. Or you just dont want to. Worry about yourself man. Put yourself, before us
Bluntly: ban them. This isn’t a matter of freedom of speech. It’s about people’s actions having consequences for them. People being offensive and attacking someone for not doing what they want when they want it clearly do not see you as a person, and are people you do not want in your community.
they have the freedom to say this shit. that's freedom of speech. but the consequences of their actions, i.e you suggest blocking them, is a right that the channel owner has too. on the other hand, I'm not too sure what blocking on RUclips does. does their view still count? will videos even show up if they've been blocked? that could just be detrimental to the channel when these videos actually do start coming out.
I'll be honest, I only watch your red vs blue content mainly because I have tried watching some of your other videos but it's not what I really came here for when I first discovered your channel. For me your reactions to red vs blue are my favorite so far out of every other reactor (No shade onto them, they're great too) I just find it more enjoyable when I watch you. I understand that you have other content and other viewers like myself that care specifically about your other content as well. In fact I've been watching your reactions since I was 13, a lot has happened since then, and their have been moments where I've been impatient, but I understand that you have a life, your life doesn't revolve around rvb. I love your reactions to rvb because they have been similar to mine or I love watching how you make up theories about the show and you've normally been able to predict most things. I also love how genuine you are. I'd like to tell you I appreciate the updates in the past, and you have claimed to make more videos in the next coming days afterwards and not being able too due to circumstances. You have taken accountability time and time again, and let us know you were sorry. Thank you Arnold and I don't mind no rvb, I'd do the same in your shoes if people were acting like that towards me. Thanks Arnold keep it up and no rush,, I'll be here when it drops ☺👍
Side note , from my experience. You put SOOOOO much detail on Rwby / RvB on each episode and things i missed over the years 🤣 i appreciate your channel and honestly if you continue with RT Content then it’s a gift 🤙💯 Do what you want to do 🤙
I truly want to say this: you matter, you're awesome, and I'm sorry for all the negative comments you've been dealt with by other people. I have been a fan, not only of Red Vs Blue, but of your take on it. You analyze so much, and your reactions are just so pure. I still rewatch your older videos just because of how genuine you are with what you present. You're up-front with you're opinions, and I never had a set time to expect any content from you; if you need to take time to watch each episode, then I am glad to wait for your videos. Thank you so much for everything you do, and I hope things get better for you.
What do these people think you will do once you're caught up with RvB? When there's nothing left? There's nothing wrong with diversifying your uploads. Love your discussion videos by the way. You spend so much of your time analyzing the episodes the same way we did when the episodes released week to week, and it helps us remember how it felt when we didn't know what was coming next. I'm here for MurderofBirds, not Red vs Blue. Sure, I discovered you from your RvB reactions, but I fell in love with your channel. Your reactions, your support for the creators and the community, and your passion for your work are the things that keep people like me around, regardless of what series you're watching at the time.
I may have asked about RvB a few too many times like 2 years ago but I’d never get mad at you for not uploading when you have a whole bunch of other things you can do. I just got on that rvb rabbit hole with ya and was excited to see you react. Actually hate that so many people are trying to ruin it for you. Respect Arnold from a fellow Massachusetts resident.
whats good murder just wanted to say ive been watching for a while and i love your videos! you are such a great content creator and you inspired my entire username! Keep up the great work!
I feel like people's sense of entitlement nowadays is insane. Like, we're not out here waiting on pre-ordered box sets of MoB content that we've paid for. We're allowed to witness genuine reactions to content we care about when it occurs. It's not something we're owed; it's something we're fortunate to see.
I haven’t checked your account in a while. I’m glad you’re back to rvb. I’m gonna be honest I’m not into anime so rvb is the only content I’ve watched but it’s my favorite react series. I don’t care how long it takes as long you just keep some dialogue open. Ghosting this account for 7 months not posting anything and posting daily genshin videos made it seem like you just dipped with no word or anything
This video was uploaded on March 20 of 2024. Around the same time, he has uploaded 157 videos to his genshin channel which are almost all an hour to an hour plus long. My brother in Christ, you are willingly shooting yourself in the foot, and then complaining about the pain that comes with it. Side note: he has still yet to upload his ALREADY RECORDED reaction to episodes 11-14, which have been on his patreon for almost two years at this point.
because he needs to record and edit the discussion part of that video(which hasn't been made yet). And at this point, that also requires rewatching a lot of RvB rather than just checking his notes to make the discussion at the quality he wants it to be. And you know how long the discussion part of his RvB videos normally is. So it is a lot of work. Also, his genshin channel is needed to pay his bills. The RvB videos are a passion project and don't contribute much to his revenue. Then there's also wanting to be in the right mindset to both enjoy the series and do the work for the discussions.
@@sancturilloreright right, that’s cool and all and I do agree with you, but it’s SEVEN FUCKING MONTHS at this point so I don’t really know how well that argument holds up. Plus, he has lied so many times now I’ve lost count.
I never comment. I’ve been lurking for years. Watched a bunch of your gaming live streams. (Your Pancakes reaction was fantastic.) I love RvB. (Also, it took me well over a decade to finish RvB… because it’s been around that long, so never worry about speed. You’re watching ages of content.) That being said, I love seeing people enjoy something I’ve loved for years. But that’s the important part. The connection between viewer and reactor. The way you style your videos makes it feel like a friend watching a show because of your personality and how you structure things. I’d rather you do it at your own pace and be happy to do it and healthy. (Hope your mental health is in good shape, I get they on a personal level.) There are lots of new videos I want to watch your reactions too, but I want to see the shows myself first. A gentle reminder for you, you are the reason why this channel works. It’s not the subject matter, it’s the person that’s reacting to it. There are lots of people I’ve tried to watch and they’re not personable or their videos seem sterile. Reacting to things that are popular instead of what they want. Watch what you want. It’s what makes it you. My favorite RUclipsr (not you, sorry, but I’m honest at the least) posts maybe twice a year. And it is obviously a labor of love and what they like doing. And I love that. That’s what you’ve got over here too. Passion and genuine care for the things you watch. Again, I’m a lurker and don’t often comment, but you’re awesome and I appreciate you and how thorough you are. Keep doing what you do, I’ll continue to lurk. Keep your head up and try to ignore the people who don’t get the point of this. Connecting over shared joy and wonderful shows and games.
I’m sure there’s plenty of people talking about the shitheads who keep complaining, so I’m gonna say something positive: Hey it’s always nice seeing videos from you, whether it be from this channel or your gaming channel. I’m glad you’re branching out, good on you, man. You keep on doing what’s best for you.
Dude, I’m so sorry that people are malding this hard. These people won’t be around after you’re done and they’re being so crappy in *other comments*. That is so incredibly rude. I have enjoyed your content for years and I love the in depth, insightful discussions. I wish nothing but the best for you going forward.
Somee people just really don’t know how to treat others with respect. This is a message to everyone that there is an ACTUAL PERSON behind every username, every channel, and every comment. Your words can still hurt through a screen. I’m so sorry you have to go through all of this Arnold, here’s to moving forward ❤ edit: dumb grammar mistake
We appreciate the content you give us, it’s always fun hearing how in depth and passionate you get about the stuff you’re watching/studying. That being said the people actively hyper fixating on you in particular about a franchise that has been asleep for more than 5 years now probably don’t like seeing the sun or breathing fresh air. My one argument is that you don’t need to give these people the light of day with this kind of video, if anything it kind of feeds into them in my opinion, but I’m glad you were able to decompress how you feel. Keep making videos you’re watching the stuff you genuinely enjoy and at your own pace, we’re always excited to see a new video!
Damn, you do you! Ignore them haters! I could say I've been waiting for more RvB content, but I think I'd rather say I've been looking forward to more RvB content from you! Your reactions are always great! I understand you got other things going on, other series to react to, you also livestream, plus the amount of effort, care, and passion you put into the reactions and discussions, it's amazing! Of course it'll take a bit of time! It's been a long journey for RvB, but I'm excited to see more of your reactions! Tldr; Take your time, man! I personally will be here for it!
Saw your video two times and wanted to think what I wanted to say before typing. First off, I just want to say I’m proud of where you at, despite the harsh battles you had to go through such as the dark times during covid. Second of all I want to apologize to you. I’ve known your channel since the very early Naruto days. Granted at that point in time I wasn’t subscribed to you, but I do roughly remember watching some of your old OLD videos back in the day. Later on I discovered your channel again during the Volume 4 era of RWBY and loved watching your reactions. I was always eager to watch your livestreams and discussions and was excited to see where you would go with your channel. I was excited for some of the promised videos you said you would make during the Volume 5+ era. And I remember that whenever you did try you would always slowly but surely stop with some of the extra content. Whenever RWBY Season was over, I remember how selfishly annoyed I was seeing less content in your channel. I remember being selfishly mad seeing this pattern over and over. I was a younger less mature person back in the day but it still doesn’t excuse my immature thoughts. Granted I never really commented on your channel as much but I did try to keep up watching your videos. I don’t think I ever commented anything negative but I did have those negative thoughts about your channel. As I grew older I realized how difficult it was to keep everything in my life in check as well work on my own channel as a hobby. I realized how difficult and miserable you could be within such a short period of time. It made me realize how bitter I was with a lot of things back in my early 20’s. Now I’m in my mid-late twenties, and I feel like an apology is overdue. RUclips is very competitive right now, and I know that you have to keep on trying new things to find out what your audience is gonna be into. I don’t watch your videos as much I used to, but I do try to keep up to date with anything super important video updates you got going on. Keep moving forward bro! You got this. Ignore those haters. It’s so cool that you managed to find a way to keep on going in the platform and moving on to different things that have helped keep you financially stable. Keep up the amazing effort can’t wait to see what happens next in your RUclips career!
Im a major red vs blue fan, and when you stopped consistently uploading rvb i was upset BUTTTTT this is your channel and i have ALWAYS LOVED your content. So i understood that you upload what you want. PLEASE KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK. You are one of the best reactors on RUclips, BYFAR. You are so Passionate and analytical about what you react to, it shows how invested you are in what you watch and makes it so enjoyable for the viewer to watch. Please keep up the good work uploading and WE LOVE YA! 👍❤️❤️ Cant wait to see more from you!
Hey man, just ta give you some positivity: I love your content. And I totally get that things come up and other issues make it hard to sit down and get into the right mindset for RvB. I always love watching your videos, not only RvB, but also Genshin because of the detail and care you put into them. Heck, I only got into Genshin at the 4.2 update, so I've been watching your journey from the beginning to see what the fandom thoughts were at the time, and also those time limited events I missed. I'm looking forward to your upcoming RvB reactions and I'm perfectly fine waiting for you to do them at your own pace. I'm also really looking forward to seeing your reactions to RWBY, I just need to catch up on the series myself first, heh. Love your work dude, stay cool~
You're the man, Arnold! I've been watching your RWBY reactions since Volume 3. When I saw that you were going to watch Red vs Blue, I was so excited! RvB is my favorite show, but no one I know watches it. Your in depth discussions have been great! I started college when you uploaded your reaction to Season 1. Your videos were a great escape from the stress of college. I really hope these people don’t ruin the RvB experience for you. I remember you went through a bit of that during Season 6 (Reconstruction). People said you weren't paying enough attention lol. What a ridiculous thing to say, considering the amount of notes you take. Keep up the great work, and don't stress yourself out too much!
Arnold, keep doing your thing. Keep making your moves. As somebody who's watched your content for the last 8 years since the RWBY Crew Reaction vid to your vid Vol 3 Ep 9, I can say, as a fan of your content, you are doing great. Keep it up. Haters be damned. Keep moving forward.
Gunna be honest, ive never watched rvb I subbed to you for rwby, and later fell love with your genshin content lol I know if i ever get in to rvb you're the first reaction im watching for sure! Edit: 31:09 YES KING YOU DROPED THIS👑 GO OFFF
Hi Arnold! Just wanna say that i love your content and have for many years, and im very excited that you've returned to regular uploads on your channel! Its a real shame that are some vocal assholes around who simply want to drag you down, you don't deserve that in any way. I hope they don't get you down too much, looking forward to your next video and hope you have a blast watching and making content! :)
i’m only literally 5 minutes in, but as someone who’s been rewatching your rvb reactions over and over as of late, i seriously apologize on the behalf of those rvb fans who are saying such things. i love the way you handle rvb in your content-the way you theorize and connect, your discussions over characters and themes and what have you. it shows me that you care, and i truly enjoy that. i promise you that people like me, people who care and enjoy your rvb content because of how 𝘺𝘰𝘶 make it, do not mind the wait. all of those angry & impatient people really sour the mood, and i hope it doesn’t drive you away from rvb! people may say that the show has “fallen off” by this point, but i can safely say that there are still plenty of things to enjoy in the newer series and i hope it doesn’t discourage you
man comes back and is already spitting fire and destroying the haters. You tell them Arnold! It sucks that you're losing subs so fast but if it means that this community becomes a cleaner place from the toxicity and vitriol that these people bring then it will be worth it. Excited for where this channel goes and where you lead those who stay. I know I'll eventually be checking out some new anime through your reactions when I get the time.
NiCe ViDeO SeE YoU iN YeArS f0r ThE NeXt OnE But in all seriousness though take your time pace yourself and go do what YOU want to do not all these other annoying people. It’s your channel.
To those who get onto him for "not doing enough" Arnold is not your dancing puppet to perform for you on a whim. You should be thankful of his newfound driven attitude towards this channel. Learn some dadgum gratitude. Arnold, I speak directly to you. You're doing great, don't let these lovers get you down, you go your own pace. We DO want you back and we are SO happy you ARE back! They just want attention. Screw the haters and ban em, they don't like your content? Fine, now they don't get see any! Thank you for your content and may God bless you, Arnold!
This one is so true. As a person who loves the content you make (mainly with Rwby content) it is important to understand you are a REAL person with REAL life going on as well. Also demanding what is coming from you is NOT okay. You should ABSOLUTELY be respected. I’m so sorry that’s been happening Arnold. Love and support always!
Great to hear this confidence, move at your own speed. As a matter of fact I have your beastars content in my "to watch". I suggest that others who have issues give it a shot themselves or just look at the process. Not that they have to do well, but I think it'd be eye opening. Good luck and fortune Murder of Birds!
Thank god this is finally a video. The comments on the previous video was just full of people talking about "Where is RvB reaction." And just wouldn't stop. Glad this is getting addressed.
Gotta say the way I found both Rooster Teeth and your channel was completely accidental, I was bored just trying to find something to watch and stumbled onto RWBY with no idea what it was. I found the show just after volume 2 finished and I started looking into Rooster Teeth and found RVB. Shortly after finishing what was available of RVB back then I then started looking to see what other people thought of it and found Murderofbirds. I believe you were just finishing RVB season one when I found your channel. Your reactions are some of the best, I also enjoy when you make predictions in your videos and end up being right. I am a patient person and have other things to keep me interested so these long in between for RVB content isn't so bad and the fact that you're making the effort should be more than enough since you're history has shown that you do follow up on what you say
Been here since hxh days when you had like 2k subs and I hope the haters do not get you down. No matter what content you do I'm always excited to watch the videos and wish you the best of life.
Some people are so awful. It's hard to get back into the swing of things. Your ACTUALY fans are happy for you getting back into making videos!! Take care Arnold! 😊
I will say, I’ve been passionate and I’ve learned and lived from RvB. It’s helped teach me things that made me a better me, or made better at understanding. I understand you wishes, but however you have put a small spark of inspiration in me watching all of your reactions on my TV. It was like watching RvB with a friend, so I respect your choice and wishes, I wish an alternative but why force or push someone to it? I’ve been wanting to go into RvB in depth and talk about how I’ve been affected by this web series. I just want to thank you for being such a joy to watch you experience this the same way I did. You’re a fun person to watch down and through. Thank you again.
Been here since the sword art online season 2 reaction days. I love red vs blue, but I'm fine with waiting as long as it takes. I'm also busy with lots of things. I'll always be excited about your reactions of stuff I like, whether rvb or other things. I've complained a bit a few years ago, but I always tried my best(as far as I remember) to not be antagonistic or annoying. It's been a long time since I stopped commenting about it and simply shifted to waiting. If I'm recalling correctly, I think the focus of my complaints back then was about being left in the dark of what was going on, and I was fine waiting even then. And I feel that Arnold has gotten a lot better about the matter of transparency over the years. There's no need for complete transparency. Just having updates every now and then was enough for me. Also, Arnold's red vs blue content is the best red vs blue content period. The quality is immense, his enthusiasm and attention to details are great, and his theory crafting and discussions are always a pleasure to listen to. As I mentioned above, I don't really remember everything I've posted in the past. I don't think I was ever as bad as those people discussed in this video, but if I ever did post something like that (probably on a bad day), then I sincerely apologize. I'm also very much looking forward to you reacting to Frieren: Beyond Journey's End. It's great. I love how you immerse yourself into the shows you watch, so I'm sure you'll love Frieren and I'm looking forward to your thoughts on it.
I appreciate you and your content. I discovered you through rvb, and I love the depth and detail that you go into within the discussion portions of your videos. I hope you continue making the content you want to make, and I hope you enjoy what you do. Thank you!
You completely hit the nail on the head hear, I'm a huge fan of your channel and enjoy watching your reactions but I have other things I can do and watch too. Idk how people have nothing in their life to do to the point where if 1 person doesn't post content they hate that much. I'm just really glad that you're succeeding in other areas like genshin impact even tho I don't play the game personally because you are a likable person and deserve to have success on RUclips.
The internet never ceases to disappoint me. I'm not a consistent follower of your content, but I do like your stuff. So you keep doing you my man and have a great day. Hopefully one day the toxic parts can be weeded out. (Also weird that when I searched rwby reactions, this was the first video recommended. I could understand if was your rwby reactions but a red vs blue video?)
You've been working very hard lately! I'm a RWBY fan and have been watching you since your V3 reactions. Because I love your content and the way you interact with media, I went to watch your Genshin time capsule because I had often wondered about the game, and your playthrough got me into Genshin, which has been a big source of joy! I've seen from both the channels just how hard you've been dedicating yourself to putting out more content lately. All this to say, from near the end of this video- that's right, your content is good and it's hard to come by someone so enthusiastic and deep-divey as you. However, it is unfair that there are those who keep demanding of you when your life does not revolve around RVB, or any single other media. They clearly enjoy the content, but they just don't respect it and how hard it can be. I'm sorry that there's so many who don't appreciate that. I truly hope the negativity does not suck away your enjoyment for content creation, because I know it's hard to see ungrateful comments day after day. I don't comment often but I'm doing so again now in hopes to drown any negativity out. You're working really hard and I've been really happy to see any and all new videos you come out with! Good luck!! 🎉
holy shit, damn, who's been doing this shit, like i've also waited years, but during that time i've been invested in other stuff, & love being able to watch so much with everything that's been released that past 3 years, like this is insane. People have lives, we're all going thru shit, please actually grow up. This is you're channel, you do what you do & dont what you dont, it's up to you, & i hope you do what you want. also you're gaming channel is down. i tried to check it out, but all i get is a 404
I am so sorry that you're having to deal with this BS >< All your content, from rwby to genshin impact and everything in-between, always make my day so much brighter. Thank you so much for everything that you do!
Arnold, I came to your channel close to the beginning of RWBY Volume 5, and quickly gravitated towards your reaction style. I ended up watching your RvB stuff afterwards, and I couldn't help but feel disappointed as I watched the upload dates get farther and farther apart for Red vs Blue as time went on. After the rather significant stretch between season 12 and 13, I had been frustrated enough that I was wanting to post angry comments. There wasn't anything wrong with your long periods without RvB, the problem came with your occasional videos where you talked about how you would try to get more consistent with RvB uploads without any real (from this side of the screen) effort to do so. I wouldn't have been happy to hear you weren't going to do more of it, but it really felt like getting strung along. Now, after being recommended one of your videos after a year of barely watching, mostly just because I haven't been too interested in the new stuff, I come back to see you punishing genuine viewers for the actions of angry trolls. I'm not even going to pretend to understand the level of vitriol you're having thrown your way, but you need to understand that your long absences for RvB don't endear you to the people who aren't your downright dedicated fans. This video devolved into repeated insults towards Red vs Blue fans that you slowly started to turn into one-note caricatures as the rant gained speed, which is obviously frustrating for someone who feels like he's getting lumped into a group of entitled internet trolls. Acting like the people waiting for so long shouldn't have any issue with waiting longer is just disingenuous and rude. You repeatedly saying that we need to wait for you "to fuck up first" ignores the fact that your videos went from fascinating reactions to enjoyable reactions that have taken so long to be uploaded that most of the decent fans of the show bounced a while back. My god, watching this video as i typed was a bad idea, because the increase in angry insults directed at a wider group than you seem to intend coupled poorly with the interjection of "My content is obviously just awesome, that's the only explanation for why you trolls are coming back." every four or five minutes has started to get me a little hot headed. I'll leave it with this: Your content is good, that's why i started watching all those years back, but I didn't come for the content alone. Your excitement for the things you watched (or watch, the newer content didn't really speak to me) made it special, and after so many extended unspoken hiatuses for Red vs Blue, it felt like that excitement wasn't there anymore. You don't deserve hate comments, very few people do, but those comments don't invalidate the fact that you dropped the show several times and acted like (seemingly) half-hearted reassurances magically fixed the discontent that festered as people watched your uploads pop into their feeds with no sign of their favorite show. You are not a content machine that people can just push a button to get RvB videos from, but your RvB fans are not simple-minded trolls who only love one show and can't move on to new things. ...well, not all of them.
I found this channel because I wanted to see the Season 6 ending through someone else's eyes - reaction videos weren't really a thing when Reconstruction was new. It was fun seeing the gears turn, that awesome twist hitting you the same way it did me back in the day. This is supposed to be fun, man. If the behavior of (some of) the audience is defeating your ability to enjoy the show, that sucks. Whether your relationship with RVB is public, private, soon, distant - I hope you can enjoy it the same way you used to, when the time is right. Do what's right for you and on your schedule - or no schedule. Watch it on your terms, for yourself. If there's other people who get to tag along that's cool. But only if it's fun for you. You are not obligated to do this, and the audience is not owed anything. But if and when you do more? I'm in.
Honestly I do miss rvb content and I can’t wait for it to return but I am patient and will wait till it is good and ready because the quality is phenomenal. Take your time and I will be here. In the meantime I have enjoyed your reactions to other content as well though I personally prefer dubbed anime I still love your reaction videos to just about everything you do.
I was actually one of the people who discovered you because of RWBY so in my mind I always follow you up on content on that, much like I do with Calxiyn, which was why I was pleasantly surprised when I watched a reaction mash-up for Genshin related stuff and found you there. It was nice seeing a familiar face since I also started to play the game later on and discovering your twitch and then your other channel about it made my day because now I have something else in common to experience with one of the content creators I follow. I've really come to enjoy how passionate and attentive you are about the shows and other stuff you care about which is why it always felt like it was worth the wait to see you posting a video. But much like other people have said, I will say that it's great that you're prioritizing yourself first and then the quality of the content because some audiences seem to forget that you are not a robot that's only programmed to cater to them, but just a human and that you also have to earn your living too.
I'm just so happy your back, despite the un-welcome greeting of just getting in the groove again, despite it being like a couple weeks I think of posting anime/game content. I'm glad I waited, because even when I was upset you didn't upload RvB, I understood completely and just hoped you came back with your passion more than anything else. I appreciate your discussions much more, even before I still liked your theories and just ramblings looking back! :)
I've already seen a handful of these comments before watching this video, and I'd be the type to continue watching RvB and other variety content just to spite them. Spite isn’t the most mature motivator, but goddang is it a powerful one. Keep up what you're doing. You have a lot of great TV on the horizon both inside and outside of RvB.
Still watching the video, but having discovered your channel from your RvB reactions and ofc wanting to see the rest of your experience especially with season 13, fuck those people, you do you man and those of us in the community respect the steps you’re taking rn
These people are just buffons. Idk why people have to be so intense, I think most of us are happy that you're back and having more variety in your channel, which I think is amazing. I stop by your channel from time to time and sometimes hop on your streams and you're doing just fine, I can't imagine how tiring it must be to manage two channels. Zero empathy whatsoever. Keep it up Arnold you're already doing a incredible job, if they're so pissed off it just means that you stand out in what you do. One of my favorite content creators.
Writing the comment even though I've only seen the first 4min as of right now; also someone who is not usually watching your RvB content: I have seen this happen to not only you but other content creators as well. I don't understand whats going on in peoples heads when they go out of their way to not only leave a bitter taste in your mouth but also their own, when making these accusations. They are ultimately ruining it for those exposed to it, and thats primarily you and they themselves. In a way its purely just wrong to have expectations in an individual and then get soo bitter just because they are not met, cause it can just often happen that life gets inbetween. And you have stated more than once that you have been struggling with certain things in life and with yourself. You have given plenty of information for people to come to an understanding, that you want to give your best, but if it doesnt work out it has reason and should be met with acceptance- cause I mean, what else are we supposed to do? Some of us are here for your content, some of us are here cause we came for the content and have been sticking around because we genuinely think you are an amazing person. Yet all of us have to accept when you choose to put out content and when you choose not to cause you have to figure out something else first in life. All that should be okay. And people should lower their expectations when they notice they get salty for no reason. It is unnecessary to just make things worse and ultimately shows that they are people one wouldnt like to be around. Hope I understood the problem of the situation (not a native speaker so reading into the given context might be harder) and I hope my words were somewhat uplifting for you. I know this sounds difficult or plain but... try to ignore them. As I said at the beginning, this happened to other people too. One of my favorite content creators used to be a big TF2 content creator back in the day, and when he switched to variety content, it got so bad with people screaming for "hey, when do you play tf2 again?" "hey okay youve had fun with your little phase there now go back to tf2" and it just left that bitter taste for him with a game he used to love. So... I guess these things just happen when people get attached to some kind of content and suddenly feel entitled to request whatever they want, whenever they want it. And thats ultimately wrong. We just wanna have a good time while we're here. And thats not how that works.
I’ve been following since the start and I’m just glad you’re back. We need the positivity on the platform. Theres a lot of angry people these days and I wouldn’t take it to heart. Every time I see you I think he’s back at it. I just hope you can find a way to make it work for you. God bless
I was one of the people that, before you came back, was assuming that you didn’t care about Red vs Blue, but that was based on the lack of content in general but a lot of Genshin Impact. Again, I assumed that you were just more into streaming at that point. Since you came back, I’m happy to announce that I’ve not mentioned anything negative whatsoever :) When I see RWBY reactions, I’m not even disappointed - your channel was primarily based around RWBY and anime, so I was happy to wait. I’m sorry to hear that you have had to deal with so many toxic RvB fans; I don’t actually know why this community is so toxic… maybe because it’s so old? IDK I will offer the theory that RvB S13 and S14 are some of the best seasons out there. I am 100000% certain that most of these toxic fans will die out after S14. There are certain moments in S15/16 that people will want to see your reactions to, but on a much less scale than S13/14. I apologise if my previous negative comment from before you came back upset you (I did apologise on said comment, but I understand the need to emphasize that apology and not just act like someone who got scared that you actually replied) and I fully support you if you want to ban people, including me :) Take your time and enjoy it; the anime, RvB or the gaming! P.S. I wrote this entire thing after I watched the video and then just had it on in the background whilst I typed. I considered just scrapping it to save face, but then you showed the ‘sorry my brother had my account’ comment XD I’ll label myself as a toxic RvB fan, but I don’t want to be in the same categoy as someone that can’t take responsibility for their actions and has to make up absurd shite!
I'm a long time fan who got roped in from your RWBY and RvB content, honestly it's all I really watch your content for. Yeah, it can be a little upsetting waiting for the next RvB episode, RvB is one of my hyperfixations (Autism and all that). But I couldn't fucking FATHOM typing out something so disrespectful and pretending like your other content is some how lesser because it's not the thing I enjoy. I don't know how people say you don't care, have they seen your other RvB reactions? They're hours long where you discuss, theory craft, and even take pages upon pages of notes! Then I realize it's def the crowd that skips to the reaction and then when it ends they just click off the video... Love what you're doing man, gonna get into your other content almost out of spite because you don't deserve this crap, keep on keeping on man. 👍
Holy moly. Don’t really know what to say. People are… really something. There’s an oily feeling of disgust for myself in my gut for the fact I was close to being one of these guys. That I could have been. I’m sorry.
19:00 I think the Frieren reaction will come out relatively soon enough to the end of the season, such that youll still get people coming in for wanting to rewatch frieren in a way. But yeah, any other anime isnt a seasonal.
Boranzz here, if you remember from the streams. Arnold, you are the only reaction channel I genuinely follow. If they are calling you dead, I am calling you human. I really do love your content and seeing you. You said "I shouldn't be getting this after two weeks of not uploading." I don't agree. You can't be perfect. If you need to see comments this is the first comment you gotta see. I've been following you for years now. I know how much care you give to your videos and it is more than just sitting and watching for you. Just for you to know. WE CAN SEE you and we LOVE you. Please take this comment seriously. Love you. We love you. I hope this comment gets to you
You can tell who didn’t watch the first few minutes. XD
@@effortlessfury Tf you talking about? He’s basically just throwing a really calm tantrum this whole video
damn you can tell who just looked at the title and commented lmao
Gotta love these new gens huh
Can you? All the comments seem the same all positive feedback I can’t find the negative ones
So true
So this is clickbait? How low
@@fatfetus5544Got to get people's attention somehow.
“I’m gonna wrap this up”
10 minutes left in the video
This is what I’m here for. I like the rambling
This comment. Hehe
I watch his channel every single day. I adore this man and loved his reaction content and I always rewatch his rwby and rvb reactions because i love this guy. But it’s been years since you began season 12. You say you’ll upload rvb but still no upload, you broke your promise. I don’t condone any of the harassment from other people but I honestly don’t blame them. You could pull in mad views from just finishing the rest of the show but I doubt we won’t see an upload until the genshin channel starts dying
TLDR: Every joke about lack of RvB uploads delays it by one day.
That’s such a babyish thing to do
@@YodaOnABenderyou probably don’t understand the feeling of having thousands of people asking for you to watch this and watch that. I do not, but I’m empathic enough to not be upset that he’s standing his ground against so many people. Fuck em. It’s his channel and no one else’s. He shouldn’t have to apologize that the people who WILLINGLY clicked on his channel are being parasocial.
@@raginginsanity3718 he absolutely needs to apologise. He’s lied to us. He kept promising he’d finish the series, when people got annoyed that he wasn’t fulfilling that promise he decided to throw a hissy fit instead of just being honest and admitting he isn’t interested in the show anymore. Him turning this into a “nah, not my fault! It’s everyone else’s fault that I don’t wanna do it, shouldn’t have complained about me lying, womp womp” actually spineless
@@YodaOnABender did he actually admit that’s exactly what happened? I wouldn’t blame him for pulling back for being harassed by hundreds of people. In the army when one person messes up the whole squad gets the heat so maybe I’m just programmed to accept someone else’s punishment I don’t know man. All I know is I wouldn’t want to be dealing with all that stress so I’d probably do the same thing. Btw my question at the beginning was for real is that what he says somewhere in the video?
@@raginginsanity3718 dude stop glazing him. He’s a fucking reaction RUclipsr, that’s literally the laziest content imaginable and he can’t even do that 😂
It's like you mentioned. Nobody covers Red vs Blue like you do, especially considering how old it is. I look forward to the 1-2 hour discussion more than the actual episodes. I've seen them 100's of times, I've seen people react to them 100's of times. However your discussions, thoughts, and theories breaths new life into the show. It sometimes feels like the season is airing for the first time. I get just as giddy now seeing your reactions uploaded as I did 10 years ago seeing new episode uploaded on to the RT site. I'll be here for RvB, RWBY, anime, video games, and whatever comes in the future!
At this point we might as well not hold out hope for the idea of him posting rvb anymore. He says he's gonna post and then doesn't and he gets mad at ppl for hating on him when he breaks his promises. I was a fan but man it's hard to trust this guy😂. If he doesn't wanna post it thats completely fine but he needs to stop saying he will.
Literally all we want is for him to sit and watch maybe 40 ish minutes of red vs blue and it’s somehow taken him a year to do that. And somehow we’re being unreasonable for being frustrated with him
@@YodaOnABenderIKR, S13 and then the orgins episodes and the Locus and Felix episodes of S14… then no one else will care and he shall be left alone
What sucks too is that he is like 10 episodes away from finishing it. If he would just commit to RvB for like a month he could wrap it up and get this monkey off his back. I don’t really think anyone cares if he watches anything beyond season 13. Maybe Season 14 but I wouldn’t be upset he called it quits there.
Lmao I came back to see if he had posted any updates from like 2 years ago, but yeah it’s a cycle.
I completely understand and this is downright uncalled for. I have been immensely excited and eagerly waiting for RVB content, but I understand that you have other audiences and interests you want to explore. These people should not and do not speak for all of us who like your RVB content. Keep up the good work Arnold, and I’m excited to see what else you put out :)
I’m in the same boat. I really love his reactions to RvB and I understand his struggle for motivation. Harassing him is not the answer
Exactly, I only watch him for RvB but it’s not our channel nor is it an RvB channel. Im happy he’s reacting to other stuff.
I think the same
Same Boat! As Arnold said, us non-toxic's waiting patiently. Take your time
More like RoosterTeeth got shut down for the wokeness and ruining their properties
Honestly, I’ve often come back to this video to read comments and see if any progress has been made, and I’m also very negative with my comments. I’m not going to apologise as I think that everything I have said has been 100% valid, but I know that this shit isn’t happening anymore so I’m just gonna leave it.
Arnold, I genuinely hope that you finish RvB, not even for this channel but just because it’s a good show. S13 has a great ending and S14 has several lore dumps that I know you’ll love. So watch that on your own time and enjoy it even if it’s not a reaction.
See ya
jesus i'm so sorry you have to put up with this
i've always had complete faith you'd get back to RvB eventually, even if it took multiple years, and i've always been completely willing to wait because it's always extremely worth it, because you're absolutely right, no one covers it like you do, and i've always loved your reactions and discussions~
and also, even tho RvB (S1-13) is my favourite show of all time, i care about other things, have other interests, so i'm not bored waiting, and i'm also not like obsessed with you like these people seem to be? like have they literally had nothing else to do for the past year? lol
i've followed your RvB reactions from the beginning and whenever a hiatus happens, i'll be honest, i'm not like actively excited for your next reaction to drop, i just kinda don't think about it and then when it happens i go "oh FUCK yes"
we've been on this RvB journey for so long and the fact that these shithead children are trying to ruin this for the people who've been patiently and understandingly waiting and actually love your videos is so goddamn annoying
TL:DR If you want the content you're subscribed for, you're entitled, and shouldn't have an opinion.
It's not what he said, but it's what he meant.
It’s not exactly that; he has a right to be pissed off at the RvB fanbase, they are quite toxic. The problem with this video is that it created an all-lose situation.
He cannot be criticized now because he’ll delay the RvB videos if he gets criticism and his fans that are defending him will get punished. Arnold also loses as he doesn’t get views (look at the last few videos… he gets less that 3K views yet this one has 15K. The exception being RWBY… people subscribed for RWBY and RvB and those vids have the most views, who knew?) The only winner here is spite.
So here is what I propose: All the fans here for just RvB temporarily unsubscribe. It gives him some breathing room and stops us getting involved and messing with his other passions.
Then, let’s say next year, we all come back. We may see several new videos of his high-quality analysis that we all love. If the wave of toxic comments return at the same time, then honestly the shitty haters get what they deserve.
I subbed for RvB and I understood his frustrations, but at the same time, it’s been two months and we still aren’t allowed to say anything. Again, I’m not calling for a mass unsub out of hate, just a temporary one so things can cool off :)
This video is wild. Check in every few months, and leave a comment relating to another community member about how disappointed you are? According to Arnold that means you're obsessed! Frustrated that you paid for his patreon expecting new content?? Obsessed! Dude is lucky people even _remember_ to check in for uploads. Now you've got the Erased/Beastars/AoT fans going through the same thing.
Hasn’t even finished it on Patreon, so doesn’t really care about his positive viewers - only shirking the negative ones
0:20 The smarmy “Ha, see, told ya” is so fucking funny in context.
Yeah still waiting for it bro
Im not much of a commenter but to be fair... Its been 3 years since he uploaded season 12...
While i dont condone the hate and behavior, i dont really blame them either... for me its boiled down to a less than hopeful "you'll get to it if you get to it" mentality. i only check on the RvB stuff every year or so at this point and thats about it...
As someone who watches your rvb content specifically and only rvb content, I have to say, I'm proud of you calling those assholes out for being rude and ignorant for no good reason.
For you guys who are rvb fans that watch Arnold's reaction and rvb content specifically, I have to say: I understand all of your frustrations and anger about Arnold not being transparent of the rvb content upload schedule, but that doesn't give you the right to control him and tell him what to do.
To be honest, I do feel disappointed and slightly mad whenever Arnold upload something that isn't rvb when it's been years since the last upload. But that doesn't mean I have the right to shit on him for not doing so, I mean, who the fuck am I anyway? I'm not someone who pays for his Patreon, I'm not giving him views nor support when he's at the lowest, I'm merely someone who is grateful and entertained from Arnold's rvb content, for free.
The short way to say it: y'all gotta know your fucking place. The fact we can watch him for free, not obligated to pay him for the entertainment he gave was already a gift and privilege itself.
And for Arnold, you go my guy. Teach those cheap assholes a lesson. Show them who's the boss. I really appreciate and thank you so deeply for the great rvb content when I was depressed or at the lowest time of my life. ❤
yea gotta agree with this one here.
it sucks that he's not at all been reliable with his rvb content. it's been pretty disappointing for a show that's been out and not updated for years, a show that he says he enjoys and appears to be really invested in, but at the end of the day, the guy has to go at his own pace.
it's the same thing I see with gaming channels that get comments begging them to play this game or that game, asking where this or that is. poor TheGamingLemon being so demotivated by those comments to cancel Alien Attack part 2, poor Zanny feeling the need to go on the rant and explain multiple times that his channel is a "whatever he wants" channel.
as a viewer, we should only watch the videos we want. and if we get an upload that we don't wanna watch, sure it can suck, but just don't fuckin watch it. and certainly don't go and berate the channel for not uploading what YOU want. it's pretty infuriating myself, so I can only imagine how it feels for the channel's runner(s) themselves.
Less replying to the comment, more piggy-back riding on it because I have similar vibes with them.
I'm one of those people that see RUclipsrs as a TV channel. Sometimes, I'll stumble on a video someone makes that peaks my interest. And if I'm not interested in it, I simply change the channel. I'm sorry I'm not interested in what you offered, but you do you, and you do what makes you happy and what makes you money. (The money is secondary though.) I never compare, and I never throw negativity towards the person. But I won't make demands because its their content, not mine.
I've always been a huge fan of RvB, and I tried getting into RWBY in the first episodes, but it simply was not for me. I'm one of the people that are disappointed that you stopped making RvB content, but I never really lashed out about it. Why would I make someone miserable because they're not giving me what I want? That's simply a very inhumane, selfish and unfair way to act.
I'm glad to hear you're doing RvB reacts again, because I genuinely believe you have the best reactions, but if it's not making you happy, I'll be sad, but I'll also understand; your happiness is important. My happiness is also important, but I can find it in other ways, which is hard for some people, so they vent their frustration at you, and that sucks. You, however, need to put a lot of effort and editing into the videos you make, and you're also capturing your emotions on camera. If you're not happy, or stressed out about doing it, I'd rather you not do it because anyone's content is at their best when they have the heart to do it, especially if your raw emotions are part of the content.
I'll also say: when you post RvB content, say to the people that genuinely care about you, your mental state, your hobbies and everything you do: "Thanks for supporting me, I really appreciate it." Say to the people that aren't attacking you, but are only watching your RvB content: "Thanks for watching my videos. Hopefully you enjoyed yourself." And to the people that HAVE been attacking you and are watching the RvB content you've been hesitating to put out because of them, say: "Thanks for the money, assholes." (You can only say that last bit if your videos are monetized and you're earning revenue from this channel.)
Gonna play devils advocate a bit here, not saying people should demand that he upload specific content but the dude has taken almost a decade to watch 12.5 seasons of a show that has about 45 hours of total runtime (not including the PSA's). It took 2 of those years for him to react to half of season 13. I personally don't want him to binge watch it but you can't be too surprised when people start being assholes when content they enjoy gets sidelined for years.
I think I can understand the frustration on both ends, to be honest. And both are kind of valid, as I see them.
On one hand, I think when people say things like "It sucks that Arnold won't get to this point," it's because they've already waited so long, and hoped for something to happen so much, that they've come to expect that it will not. Even if they really, truly wish to see it. People can only be told "Don't worry guys, it i's going to happen! I promise!" so many times before they start to nod their heads, or shrug, or say "Yeah, alright. We'll see." It's somewhat understandable. I am someone who believes both can be done, and is also kind of skeptical when someone just tells me the same thing over and over again, because actions over words matter much more to me. So while I do understand what you mean when expressing your annoyance with those who come off as, or are aggressive towards your absence, I can also believe that those people may be living their lives, and just talk about it in that moment. It doesn't take very long to leave a comment on something, especially a short one. Overall, though, generally, I do get what you were saying there.
It is interesting too, seeing people rotate around the same space. I can only think of three things:
A. the people that like RvB only are invested in RvB stuff and seek out those who make stuff in that sphere.
B. Those people definitely do have other interests, and you're only really seeing them in that sphere because you're in it too [think of it like a neighborhood, 'you see your neighbors because you're in the same area', sort of thing.]
C. Both A and B can be true, but there may only be a limited amount of content creators that are covering that particular thing, and you happened to be one of them. Your 'loss' [for lack of a better term] would mean one less creator for that thing in question, and maybe they're angry about that.
On the other hand, none of that means they should or can feel entitled. Upset, _maybe,_ sure. But it's not their channel, and it's not their stuff. They might enjoy how you react to things, or your person, but they have to understand that you are _still_ a person. Your _own_ person. You having to deal with all these comments, are rightfully annoyed by the fact that there are others going into your comment section and demanding, or feeling entitled to your content, and are talking about you that way in other people's comments as well. That's definitely something that would annoy me, and while it's mostly foreseen [because people are people, and they will talk], it's not warranted. I'm glad that you're taking care of yourself, because without you, there _is_ no "MurderOfBirds." You are more important than the channel you're running, you know? I'll always say that to Cal, and I extend that to you, too. 💟
I can understand the frustration when one of the best reactors in the game goes on hiatuses but it really highlights how a large portion of audiences now don’t see content creators as hard working people and instead as work-horses that they turn against when the dopamine stream slows down. When compared to other reactors you usually add a ton more in depth discussion and you can tell from the note taking that you are passionate about the series you cover and the investment of time put into the writing and editing of the videos are evident. Even if i'm not interested in some of the current anime reactions doesn’t mean i'd hate watch or comment, I just go on the search for other content to watch while I wait. loving AOT and can't wait for RVB and future series
adding in the "like I said I would" clip multiple times was a good bit
I'm not gomma be rude I'm just gonna say this, it's been a decade. Technoblade is gone, I can only imagine that some may have actually died, waiting for you, just like how some people actually could not wait and passed on waiting for kingdom hearts 3.
That, and it's a simple matter of sticking to Ur word.
A mistake is fine, 2 mistakes is ok. Saying something about rvb over 3 times,and still breaking it. Well what can be said then? Over years too? Is that not just being a liar?
Just saying that I never watched Red vs Blue before😅. I can start watching whenever I want and I know who I'm gonna be reacting with.
Wow what a fast like!
That was mine lol. You should watch Red vs Blue. It's SO entertaining.
Just be advised - the tonal shifts between blocks of seasons can be a bit weird.
@@MurderofBirds Damn, thanks dude! Might be watching it sooner than later.
@@kereminde Noted!
Ok Arnold, I'll believe it when i see it, taking your words
We’ve been taking his words for over a year and look what it’s gotten us
I’m someone who has admittedly been annoyed a few times that you haven’t uploaded red vs blue in so long but after watching this video I completely understand not wanting to reward people ruining your comment section with jokes that make fun of you as a person and I’m looking forward to seeing you finish the show and I would just like to say that this honesty from this video has earned you a subscriber and a new long term viewer
Your rvb content is always worth the wait
Nearly finished the vid and got to the part where you said the good people probably aren't watching this
Just wanted to say I watched cause the title scared me into thinking you were dropping the show
You are right tho the wait sucks but I have other stuff to occupy my time and I mean it when I comment the wait was worth it
Okay, it's been long enough. If Arnold get's 150K or 200K, we can officially start bugging him about Red Vs Blue again. It can be his Silver Campaign like Lythero where everyone's allowed to bug him about it cause it's become a running joke. You need to have a Lythero moment when you become bigger.
As someone who used to watch your RvB stuff every monday in college, it was always a treat, but you doing what you enjoy doing is the most important, and I watch your new anime reactions too. Do what you enjoy the most!
I personally just like seeing people's "OMG" and crying moments to great parts, and season 13 ends so beautifully, which is what had me excited to see from you.
Regardless, anyone who says you have to finish don't care about your opinions or wants, don't listen to them. Do what you want to do
Also, as someone who helps in the scene of content creation, I have seen several other content creators who have dropped Halo get hate from Halo fans every single video asking for more Halo videos. Seems RvB community doing the same and it's a shame. Don't listen to em
I love you Murder! I'm so glad that you are finding new content and continuing your success! You have made me happy for many years and I am looking forward to following you to your new content for many years to come. I know it is hard to dismiss the haters, please know that you have more lovers. Take care of you first. I will always be here for you.
We will be here for you forever. We love you, we support you, and we cheer for your success. That is never going to change.
I read that as “I love murder” and was so confused at first 😂
am a be real i dont mind how long you take to post am just here to see your reaction its fun and you have such an interesting reaction to things
0:00 Just put the fries in the bag bro
i’d like to say thank you for uploading this and bringing this to light. this really sucks and im sorry you have to deal with these people:( i did really enjoy your rvb videos however i will always enjoy whatever you decide to post. i’m here for the content itself yeah, but most importantly i am here for you. you are a lovely and comforting presence in my life and to many of my friends. your content gets me and plenty of others through good and bad times. it’s honestly more of a tradition for my friendgroup to anticipate your reactions than the actual content. whatever you decide to post or talk about i know that me and many others will stick by and enjoy :) thank you for being you man, we really appreciate you!!!!
“The reason is because my content is good”
THIS IS IT! It’s so true. It’s the reason I kept checking your channel time and time again for the show. (Nowadays I’m also a fan of your genshin content too, and I’m a big anime fan so I’m interested in your new stuff).
I really hate that you’re getting shit on by these types of people and if I were you I would just block them (but I understand your reasons for not doing so). But I’m glad you’re putting your foot down.
Dude, your a content creator. I’ve been a fan for a long time. I understand even though my field is entirely different, sometimes I don’t want to open blender. Sometimes I don’t want to spend a hour making something easy. Sometimes I just want to hang out with my friends. You’re doing the best you can. You don’t got to try this hard for us. We understand if you don’t feel like it. Or you just dont want to. Worry about yourself man. Put yourself, before us
Bluntly: ban them. This isn’t a matter of freedom of speech. It’s about people’s actions having consequences for them.
People being offensive and attacking someone for not doing what they want when they want it clearly do not see you as a person, and are people you do not want in your community.
they have the freedom to say this shit. that's freedom of speech.
but the consequences of their actions, i.e you suggest blocking them, is a right that the channel owner has too.
on the other hand, I'm not too sure what blocking on RUclips does. does their view still count? will videos even show up if they've been blocked? that could just be detrimental to the channel when these videos actually do start coming out.
Talking crap is watever for me personally. The person going over to other ppIs platforms is what does it for me.
I hope you're doing okay man
I'll be honest, I only watch your red vs blue content mainly because I have tried watching some of your other videos but it's not what I really came here for when I first discovered your channel. For me your reactions to red vs blue are my favorite so far out of every other reactor (No shade onto them, they're great too) I just find it more enjoyable when I watch you. I understand that you have other content and other viewers like myself that care specifically about your other content as well. In fact I've been watching your reactions since I was 13, a lot has happened since then, and their have been moments where I've been impatient, but I understand that you have a life, your life doesn't revolve around rvb. I love your reactions to rvb because they have been similar to mine or I love watching how you make up theories about the show and you've normally been able to predict most things. I also love how genuine you are. I'd like to tell you I appreciate the updates in the past, and you have claimed to make more videos in the next coming days afterwards and not being able too due to circumstances. You have taken accountability time and time again, and let us know you were sorry. Thank you Arnold and I don't mind no rvb, I'd do the same in your shoes if people were acting like that towards me. Thanks Arnold keep it up and no rush,, I'll be here when it drops ☺👍
lol i’m glad i waited 😂😂 neither the less , this is your channel. Period . we love who you are.
Side note , from my experience. You put SOOOOO much detail on Rwby / RvB on each episode and things i missed over the years 🤣 i appreciate your channel and honestly if you continue with RT Content then it’s a gift 🤙💯 Do what you want to do 🤙
I truly want to say this: you matter, you're awesome, and I'm sorry for all the negative comments you've been dealt with by other people. I have been a fan, not only of Red Vs Blue, but of your take on it. You analyze so much, and your reactions are just so pure. I still rewatch your older videos just because of how genuine you are with what you present. You're up-front with you're opinions, and I never had a set time to expect any content from you; if you need to take time to watch each episode, then I am glad to wait for your videos. Thank you so much for everything you do, and I hope things get better for you.
What do these people think you will do once you're caught up with RvB? When there's nothing left? There's nothing wrong with diversifying your uploads.
Love your discussion videos by the way. You spend so much of your time analyzing the episodes the same way we did when the episodes released week to week, and it helps us remember how it felt when we didn't know what was coming next.
I'm here for MurderofBirds, not Red vs Blue. Sure, I discovered you from your RvB reactions, but I fell in love with your channel. Your reactions, your support for the creators and the community, and your passion for your work are the things that keep people like me around, regardless of what series you're watching at the time.
I may have asked about RvB a few too many times like 2 years ago but I’d never get mad at you for not uploading when you have a whole bunch of other things you can do. I just got on that rvb rabbit hole with ya and was excited to see you react. Actually hate that so many people are trying to ruin it for you. Respect Arnold from a fellow Massachusetts resident.
whats good murder just wanted to say ive been watching for a while and i love your videos! you are such a great content creator and you inspired my entire username! Keep up the great work!
Very reasonable and well-constructed argument.
I feel like people's sense of entitlement nowadays is insane. Like, we're not out here waiting on pre-ordered box sets of MoB content that we've paid for.
We're allowed to witness genuine reactions to content we care about when it occurs. It's not something we're owed; it's something we're fortunate to see.
I haven’t checked your account in a while. I’m glad you’re back to rvb. I’m gonna be honest I’m not into anime so rvb is the only content I’ve watched but it’s my favorite react series. I don’t care how long it takes as long you just keep some dialogue open. Ghosting this account for 7 months not posting anything and posting daily genshin videos made it seem like you just dipped with no word or anything
Bro thought he was back to RvB 😭
This video was uploaded on March 20 of 2024. Around the same time, he has uploaded 157 videos to his genshin channel which are almost all an hour to an hour plus long. My brother in Christ, you are willingly shooting yourself in the foot, and then complaining about the pain that comes with it.
Side note: he has still yet to upload his ALREADY RECORDED reaction to episodes 11-14, which have been on his patreon for almost two years at this point.
because he needs to record and edit the discussion part of that video(which hasn't been made yet). And at this point, that also requires rewatching a lot of RvB rather than just checking his notes to make the discussion at the quality he wants it to be.
And you know how long the discussion part of his RvB videos normally is. So it is a lot of work.
Also, his genshin channel is needed to pay his bills. The RvB videos are a passion project and don't contribute much to his revenue.
Then there's also wanting to be in the right mindset to both enjoy the series and do the work for the discussions.
@@sancturilloredude you are glazing ts out of him just admit that hes in the wrong u have every excuse possible 😭😭
@@sancturilloreright right, that’s cool and all and I do agree with you, but it’s SEVEN FUCKING MONTHS at this point so I don’t really know how well that argument holds up. Plus, he has lied so many times now I’ve lost count.
I never comment. I’ve been lurking for years. Watched a bunch of your gaming live streams. (Your Pancakes reaction was fantastic.)
I love RvB. (Also, it took me well over a decade to finish RvB… because it’s been around that long, so never worry about speed. You’re watching ages of content.) That being said, I love seeing people enjoy something I’ve loved for years. But that’s the important part. The connection between viewer and reactor. The way you style your videos makes it feel like a friend watching a show because of your personality and how you structure things. I’d rather you do it at your own pace and be happy to do it and healthy. (Hope your mental health is in good shape, I get they on a personal level.)
There are lots of new videos I want to watch your reactions too, but I want to see the shows myself first.
A gentle reminder for you, you are the reason why this channel works. It’s not the subject matter, it’s the person that’s reacting to it. There are lots of people I’ve tried to watch and they’re not personable or their videos seem sterile. Reacting to things that are popular instead of what they want.
Watch what you want. It’s what makes it you.
My favorite RUclipsr (not you, sorry, but I’m honest at the least) posts maybe twice a year. And it is obviously a labor of love and what they like doing. And I love that. That’s what you’ve got over here too. Passion and genuine care for the things you watch.
Again, I’m a lurker and don’t often comment, but you’re awesome and I appreciate you and how thorough you are.
Keep doing what you do, I’ll continue to lurk.
Keep your head up and try to ignore the people who don’t get the point of this. Connecting over shared joy and wonderful shows and games.
I’m sure there’s plenty of people talking about the shitheads who keep complaining, so I’m gonna say something positive: Hey it’s always nice seeing videos from you, whether it be from this channel or your gaming channel. I’m glad you’re branching out, good on you, man. You keep on doing what’s best for you.
Top tier bait title, absolutely adore it.
Dude, I’m so sorry that people are malding this hard. These people won’t be around after you’re done and they’re being so crappy in *other comments*. That is so incredibly rude. I have enjoyed your content for years and I love the in depth, insightful discussions. I wish nothing but the best for you going forward.
I’m just glad that you are doing well and can’t wait for your breakdowns of are favorite shows and I don’t mind waiting
Somee people just really don’t know how to treat others with respect. This is a message to everyone that there is an ACTUAL PERSON behind every username, every channel, and every comment. Your words can still hurt through a screen. I’m so sorry you have to go through all of this Arnold, here’s to moving forward ❤
edit: dumb grammar mistake
We appreciate the content you give us, it’s always fun hearing how in depth and passionate you get about the stuff you’re watching/studying. That being said the people actively hyper fixating on you in particular about a franchise that has been asleep for more than 5 years now probably don’t like seeing the sun or breathing fresh air. My one argument is that you don’t need to give these people the light of day with this kind of video, if anything it kind of feeds into them in my opinion, but I’m glad you were able to decompress how you feel. Keep making videos you’re watching the stuff you genuinely enjoy and at your own pace, we’re always excited to see a new video!
Damn, you do you! Ignore them haters!
I could say I've been waiting for more RvB content, but I think I'd rather say I've been looking forward to more RvB content from you! Your reactions are always great!
I understand you got other things going on, other series to react to, you also livestream, plus the amount of effort, care, and passion you put into the reactions and discussions, it's amazing! Of course it'll take a bit of time!
It's been a long journey for RvB, but I'm excited to see more of your reactions!
Tldr; Take your time, man! I personally will be here for it!
Saw your video two times and wanted to think what I wanted to say before typing.
First off, I just want to say I’m proud of where you at, despite the harsh battles you had to go through such as the dark times during covid.
Second of all I want to apologize to you. I’ve known your channel since the very early Naruto days. Granted at that point in time I wasn’t subscribed to you, but I do roughly remember watching some of your old OLD videos back in the day. Later on I discovered your channel again during the Volume 4 era of RWBY and loved watching your reactions. I was always eager to watch your livestreams and discussions and was excited to see where you would go with your channel. I was excited for some of the promised videos you said you would make during the Volume 5+ era. And I remember that whenever you did try you would always slowly but surely stop with some of the extra content. Whenever RWBY Season was over, I remember how selfishly annoyed I was seeing less content in your channel. I remember being selfishly mad seeing this pattern over and over. I was a younger less mature person back in the day but it still doesn’t excuse my immature thoughts. Granted I never really commented on your channel as much but I did try to keep up watching your videos. I don’t think I ever commented anything negative but I did have those negative thoughts about your channel.
As I grew older I realized how difficult it was to keep everything in my life in check as well work on my own channel as a hobby. I realized how difficult and miserable you could be within such a short period of time. It made me realize how bitter I was with a lot of things back in my early 20’s.
Now I’m in my mid-late twenties, and I feel like an apology is overdue.
RUclips is very competitive right now, and I know that you have to keep on trying new things to find out what your audience is gonna be into.
I don’t watch your videos as much I used to, but I do try to keep up to date with anything super important video updates you got going on.
Keep moving forward bro! You got this. Ignore those haters. It’s so cool that you managed to find a way to keep on going in the platform and moving on to different things that have helped keep you financially stable.
Keep up the amazing effort can’t wait to see what happens next in your RUclips career!
Im a major red vs blue fan, and when you stopped consistently uploading rvb i was upset BUTTTTT this is your channel and i have ALWAYS LOVED your content. So i understood that you upload what you want. PLEASE KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK. You are one of the best reactors on RUclips, BYFAR. You are so Passionate and analytical about what you react to, it shows how invested you are in what you watch and makes it so enjoyable for the viewer to watch. Please keep up the good work uploading and WE LOVE YA! 👍❤️❤️ Cant wait to see more from you!
Hey man, just ta give you some positivity: I love your content. And I totally get that things come up and other issues make it hard to sit down and get into the right mindset for RvB. I always love watching your videos, not only RvB, but also Genshin because of the detail and care you put into them.
Heck, I only got into Genshin at the 4.2 update, so I've been watching your journey from the beginning to see what the fandom thoughts were at the time, and also those time limited events I missed.
I'm looking forward to your upcoming RvB reactions and I'm perfectly fine waiting for you to do them at your own pace.
I'm also really looking forward to seeing your reactions to RWBY, I just need to catch up on the series myself first, heh.
Love your work dude, stay cool~
You're the man, Arnold! I've been watching your RWBY reactions since Volume 3. When I saw that you were going to watch Red vs Blue, I was so excited! RvB is my favorite show, but no one I know watches it. Your in depth discussions have been great! I started college when you uploaded your reaction to Season 1. Your videos were a great escape from the stress of college.
I really hope these people don’t ruin the RvB experience for you. I remember you went through a bit of that during Season 6 (Reconstruction). People said you weren't paying enough attention lol. What a ridiculous thing to say, considering the amount of notes you take.
Keep up the great work, and don't stress yourself out too much!
So whats next..? When?
Arnold, keep doing your thing. Keep making your moves. As somebody who's watched your content for the last 8 years since the RWBY Crew Reaction vid to your vid Vol 3 Ep 9, I can say, as a fan of your content, you are doing great. Keep it up. Haters be damned. Keep moving forward.
Gunna be honest, ive never watched rvb
I subbed to you for rwby, and later fell love with your genshin content lol
I know if i ever get in to rvb you're the first reaction im watching for sure!
Edit:
31:09 YES KING YOU DROPED THIS👑 GO OFFF
Hi Arnold! Just wanna say that i love your content and have for many years, and im very excited that you've returned to regular uploads on your channel! Its a real shame that are some vocal assholes around who simply want to drag you down, you don't deserve that in any way. I hope they don't get you down too much, looking forward to your next video and hope you have a blast watching and making content! :)
i’m only literally 5 minutes in, but as someone who’s been rewatching your rvb reactions over and over as of late, i seriously apologize on the behalf of those rvb fans who are saying such things. i love the way you handle rvb in your content-the way you theorize and connect, your discussions over characters and themes and what have you. it shows me that you care, and i truly enjoy that.
i promise you that people like me, people who care and enjoy your rvb content because of how 𝘺𝘰𝘶 make it, do not mind the wait. all of those angry & impatient people really sour the mood, and i hope it doesn’t drive you away from rvb! people may say that the show has “fallen off” by this point, but i can safely say that there are still plenty of things to enjoy in the newer series and i hope it doesn’t discourage you
man comes back and is already spitting fire and destroying the haters. You tell them Arnold! It sucks that you're losing subs so fast but if it means that this community becomes a cleaner place from the toxicity and vitriol that these people bring then it will be worth it. Excited for where this channel goes and where you lead those who stay. I know I'll eventually be checking out some new anime through your reactions when I get the time.

But in all seriousness though take your time pace yourself and go do what YOU want to do not all these other annoying people. It’s your channel.
I got you, fam. Scheduling the next Red vs Blue video for March 20th, 2025! This is for you, ShadowExtremeEX8!

@@MurderofBirds if you dont actually make an RVB video that day im unsubscribing 😤
March 20, 2025. . . Is that a Saturday? If so then my schedule is clear. 😂
at 5:18 that really made me think. Take as much time as you need. I’ll always be here to watch.
Have it posted by the end of the month right? Haha
To those who get onto him for "not doing enough" Arnold is not your dancing puppet to perform for you on a whim. You should be thankful of his newfound driven attitude towards this channel. Learn some dadgum gratitude. Arnold, I speak directly to you. You're doing great, don't let these lovers get you down, you go your own pace. We DO want you back and we are SO happy you ARE back! They just want attention. Screw the haters and ban em, they don't like your content? Fine, now they don't get see any! Thank you for your content and may God bless you, Arnold!
This one is so true. As a person who loves the content you make (mainly with Rwby content) it is important to understand you are a REAL person with REAL life going on as well. Also demanding what is coming from you is NOT okay. You should ABSOLUTELY be respected. I’m so sorry that’s been happening Arnold. Love and support always!
Great to hear this confidence, move at your own speed. As a matter of fact I have your beastars content in my "to watch".
I suggest that others who have issues give it a shot themselves or just look at the process. Not that they have to do well, but I think it'd be eye opening.
Good luck and fortune Murder of Birds!
Thank god this is finally a video. The comments on the previous video was just full of people talking about "Where is RvB reaction." And just wouldn't stop. Glad this is getting addressed.
No matter what happens; there’s always people who just wanna say shit! Power through this process Arnold! Your content is thriving!
Gotta say the way I found both Rooster Teeth and your channel was completely accidental, I was bored just trying to find something to watch and stumbled onto RWBY with no idea what it was. I found the show just after volume 2 finished and I started looking into Rooster Teeth and found RVB. Shortly after finishing what was available of RVB back then I then started looking to see what other people thought of it and found Murderofbirds. I believe you were just finishing RVB season one when I found your channel. Your reactions are some of the best, I also enjoy when you make predictions in your videos and end up being right. I am a patient person and have other things to keep me interested so these long in between for RVB content isn't so bad and the fact that you're making the effort should be more than enough since you're history has shown that you do follow up on what you say
Been here since hxh days when you had like 2k subs and I hope the haters do not get you down. No matter what content you do I'm always excited to watch the videos and wish you the best of life.
Some people are so awful.
It's hard to get back into the swing of things. Your ACTUALY fans are happy for you getting back into making videos!! Take care Arnold! 😊
He's Not a roosterteeth channel. He's allowed to do what he wants
Who called him that?
finally got recommended one of your vids after so long (life got in the way) sad that people are like this but glad to see a video from you again
I will say, I’ve been passionate and I’ve learned and lived from RvB. It’s helped teach me things that made me a better me, or made better at understanding. I understand you wishes, but however you have put a small spark of inspiration in me watching all of your reactions on my TV. It was like watching RvB with a friend, so I respect your choice and wishes, I wish an alternative but why force or push someone to it? I’ve been wanting to go into RvB in depth and talk about how I’ve been affected by this web series. I just want to thank you for being such a joy to watch you experience this the same way I did. You’re a fun person to watch down and through. Thank you again.
Arnold really wanted to give me a heart attack the second I woke up 💀
Been here since the sword art online season 2 reaction days.
I love red vs blue, but I'm fine with waiting as long as it takes. I'm also busy with lots of things. I'll always be excited about your reactions of stuff I like, whether rvb or other things.
I've complained a bit a few years ago, but I always tried my best(as far as I remember) to not be antagonistic or annoying. It's been a long time since I stopped commenting about it and simply shifted to waiting. If I'm recalling correctly, I think the focus of my complaints back then was about being left in the dark of what was going on, and I was fine waiting even then. And I feel that Arnold has gotten a lot better about the matter of transparency over the years. There's no need for complete transparency. Just having updates every now and then was enough for me.
Also, Arnold's red vs blue content is the best red vs blue content period.
The quality is immense, his enthusiasm and attention to details are great, and his theory crafting and discussions are always a pleasure to listen to.
As I mentioned above, I don't really remember everything I've posted in the past. I don't think I was ever as bad as those people discussed in this video, but if I ever did post something like that (probably on a bad day), then I sincerely apologize.
I'm also very much looking forward to you reacting to Frieren: Beyond Journey's End. It's great. I love how you immerse yourself into the shows you watch, so I'm sure you'll love Frieren and I'm looking forward to your thoughts on it.
Thank you for standing your ground. Don't let them bully you. If you have to ban them. You don't need the negativity.
I appreciate you and your content. I discovered you through rvb, and I love the depth and detail that you go into within the discussion portions of your videos. I hope you continue making the content you want to make, and I hope you enjoy what you do. Thank you!
You completely hit the nail on the head hear, I'm a huge fan of your channel and enjoy watching your reactions but I have other things I can do and watch too. Idk how people have nothing in their life to do to the point where if 1 person doesn't post content they hate that much. I'm just really glad that you're succeeding in other areas like genshin impact even tho I don't play the game personally because you are a likable person and deserve to have success on RUclips.
Hey, I found & watched both Melissa Hime & NukaEle in your hiatus! I loved their reactions as well as yours! Happy you've been back, man! 🤘
The internet never ceases to disappoint me. I'm not a consistent follower of your content, but I do like your stuff. So you keep doing you my man and have a great day. Hopefully one day the toxic parts can be weeded out. (Also weird that when I searched rwby reactions, this was the first video recommended. I could understand if was your rwby reactions but a red vs blue video?)
You've been working very hard lately! I'm a RWBY fan and have been watching you since your V3 reactions. Because I love your content and the way you interact with media, I went to watch your Genshin time capsule because I had often wondered about the game, and your playthrough got me into Genshin, which has been a big source of joy! I've seen from both the channels just how hard you've been dedicating yourself to putting out more content lately. All this to say, from near the end of this video- that's right, your content is good and it's hard to come by someone so enthusiastic and deep-divey as you. However, it is unfair that there are those who keep demanding of you when your life does not revolve around RVB, or any single other media. They clearly enjoy the content, but they just don't respect it and how hard it can be. I'm sorry that there's so many who don't appreciate that. I truly hope the negativity does not suck away your enjoyment for content creation, because I know it's hard to see ungrateful comments day after day. I don't comment often but I'm doing so again now in hopes to drown any negativity out. You're working really hard and I've been really happy to see any and all new videos you come out with! Good luck!! 🎉
holy shit, damn, who's been doing this shit, like i've also waited years, but during that time i've been invested in other stuff, & love being able to watch so much with everything that's been released that past 3 years, like this is insane. People have lives, we're all going thru shit, please actually grow up. This is you're channel, you do what you do & dont what you dont, it's up to you, & i hope you do what you want.
also you're gaming channel is down. i tried to check it out, but all i get is a 404
Honestly I'm glad you did this as a separate video instead of at the start of a RvB reaction
I am so sorry that you're having to deal with this BS ><
All your content, from rwby to genshin impact and everything in-between, always make my day so much brighter. Thank you so much for everything that you do!
Arnold, I came to your channel close to the beginning of RWBY Volume 5, and quickly gravitated towards your reaction style. I ended up watching your RvB stuff afterwards, and I couldn't help but feel disappointed as I watched the upload dates get farther and farther apart for Red vs Blue as time went on. After the rather significant stretch between season 12 and 13, I had been frustrated enough that I was wanting to post angry comments.
There wasn't anything wrong with your long periods without RvB, the problem came with your occasional videos where you talked about how you would try to get more consistent with RvB uploads without any real (from this side of the screen) effort to do so. I wouldn't have been happy to hear you weren't going to do more of it, but it really felt like getting strung along.
Now, after being recommended one of your videos after a year of barely watching, mostly just because I haven't been too interested in the new stuff, I come back to see you punishing genuine viewers for the actions of angry trolls. I'm not even going to pretend to understand the level of vitriol you're having thrown your way, but you need to understand that your long absences for RvB don't endear you to the people who aren't your downright dedicated fans.
This video devolved into repeated insults towards Red vs Blue fans that you slowly started to turn into one-note caricatures as the rant gained speed, which is obviously frustrating for someone who feels like he's getting lumped into a group of entitled internet trolls.
Acting like the people waiting for so long shouldn't have any issue with waiting longer is just disingenuous and rude. You repeatedly saying that we need to wait for you "to fuck up first" ignores the fact that your videos went from fascinating reactions to enjoyable reactions that have taken so long to be uploaded that most of the decent fans of the show bounced a while back.
My god, watching this video as i typed was a bad idea, because the increase in angry insults directed at a wider group than you seem to intend coupled poorly with the interjection of "My content is obviously just awesome, that's the only explanation for why you trolls are coming back." every four or five minutes has started to get me a little hot headed.
I'll leave it with this: Your content is good, that's why i started watching all those years back, but I didn't come for the content alone. Your excitement for the things you watched (or watch, the newer content didn't really speak to me) made it special, and after so many extended unspoken hiatuses for Red vs Blue, it felt like that excitement wasn't there anymore. You don't deserve hate comments, very few people do, but those comments don't invalidate the fact that you dropped the show several times and acted like (seemingly) half-hearted reassurances magically fixed the discontent that festered as people watched your uploads pop into their feeds with no sign of their favorite show.
You are not a content machine that people can just push a button to get RvB videos from, but your RvB fans are not simple-minded trolls who only love one show and can't move on to new things.
...well, not all of them.
I found this channel because I wanted to see the Season 6 ending through someone else's eyes - reaction videos weren't really a thing when Reconstruction was new. It was fun seeing the gears turn, that awesome twist hitting you the same way it did me back in the day.
This is supposed to be fun, man. If the behavior of (some of) the audience is defeating your ability to enjoy the show, that sucks. Whether your relationship with RVB is public, private, soon, distant - I hope you can enjoy it the same way you used to, when the time is right. Do what's right for you and on your schedule - or no schedule. Watch it on your terms, for yourself. If there's other people who get to tag along that's cool. But only if it's fun for you. You are not obligated to do this, and the audience is not owed anything.
But if and when you do more? I'm in.
Honestly I do miss rvb content and I can’t wait for it to return but I am patient and will wait till it is good and ready because the quality is phenomenal. Take your time and I will be here. In the meantime I have enjoyed your reactions to other content as well though I personally prefer dubbed anime I still love your reaction videos to just about everything you do.
I was actually one of the people who discovered you because of RWBY so in my mind I always follow you up on content on that, much like I do with Calxiyn, which was why I was pleasantly surprised when I watched a reaction mash-up for Genshin related stuff and found you there. It was nice seeing a familiar face since I also started to play the game later on and discovering your twitch and then your other channel about it made my day because now I have something else in common to experience with one of the content creators I follow. I've really come to enjoy how passionate and attentive you are about the shows and other stuff you care about which is why it always felt like it was worth the wait to see you posting a video.
But much like other people have said, I will say that it's great that you're prioritizing yourself first and then the quality of the content because some audiences seem to forget that you are not a robot that's only programmed to cater to them, but just a human and that you also have to earn your living too.
I'm just so happy your back, despite the un-welcome greeting of just getting in the groove again, despite it being like a couple weeks I think of posting anime/game content. I'm glad I waited, because even when I was upset you didn't upload RvB, I understood completely and just hoped you came back with your passion more than anything else. I appreciate your discussions much more, even before I still liked your theories and just ramblings looking back! :)
I've already seen a handful of these comments before watching this video, and I'd be the type to continue watching RvB and other variety content just to spite them. Spite isn’t the most mature motivator, but goddang is it a powerful one.
Keep up what you're doing. You have a lot of great TV on the horizon both inside and outside of RvB.
Still watching the video, but having discovered your channel from your RvB reactions and ofc wanting to see the rest of your experience especially with season 13, fuck those people, you do you man and those of us in the community respect the steps you’re taking rn
These people are just buffons. Idk why people have to be so intense, I think most of us are happy that you're back and having more variety in your channel, which I think is amazing. I stop by your channel from time to time and sometimes hop on your streams and you're doing just fine, I can't imagine how tiring it must be to manage two channels. Zero empathy whatsoever. Keep it up Arnold you're already doing a incredible job, if they're so pissed off it just means that you stand out in what you do. One of my favorite content creators.
Writing the comment even though I've only seen the first 4min as of right now; also someone who is not usually watching your RvB content:
I have seen this happen to not only you but other content creators as well. I don't understand whats going on in peoples heads when they go out of their way to not only leave a bitter taste in your mouth but also their own, when making these accusations. They are ultimately ruining it for those exposed to it, and thats primarily you and they themselves. In a way its purely just wrong to have expectations in an individual and then get soo bitter just because they are not met, cause it can just often happen that life gets inbetween. And you have stated more than once that you have been struggling with certain things in life and with yourself. You have given plenty of information for people to come to an understanding, that you want to give your best, but if it doesnt work out it has reason and should be met with acceptance- cause I mean, what else are we supposed to do? Some of us are here for your content, some of us are here cause we came for the content and have been sticking around because we genuinely think you are an amazing person. Yet all of us have to accept when you choose to put out content and when you choose not to cause you have to figure out something else first in life.
All that should be okay. And people should lower their expectations when they notice they get salty for no reason. It is unnecessary to just make things worse and ultimately shows that they are people one wouldnt like to be around. Hope I understood the problem of the situation (not a native speaker so reading into the given context might be harder) and I hope my words were somewhat uplifting for you. I know this sounds difficult or plain but... try to ignore them. As I said at the beginning, this happened to other people too. One of my favorite content creators used to be a big TF2 content creator back in the day, and when he switched to variety content, it got so bad with people screaming for "hey, when do you play tf2 again?" "hey okay youve had fun with your little phase there now go back to tf2" and it just left that bitter taste for him with a game he used to love. So... I guess these things just happen when people get attached to some kind of content and suddenly feel entitled to request whatever they want, whenever they want it. And thats ultimately wrong. We just wanna have a good time while we're here. And thats not how that works.
I’ve been following since the start and I’m just glad you’re back. We need the positivity on the platform. Theres a lot of angry people these days and I wouldn’t take it to heart. Every time I see you I think he’s back at it. I just hope you can find a way to make it work for you. God bless
I was one of the people that, before you came back, was assuming that you didn’t care about Red vs Blue, but that was based on the lack of content in general but a lot of Genshin Impact. Again, I assumed that you were just more into streaming at that point.
Since you came back, I’m happy to announce that I’ve not mentioned anything negative whatsoever :) When I see RWBY reactions, I’m not even disappointed - your channel was primarily based around RWBY and anime, so I was happy to wait.
I’m sorry to hear that you have had to deal with so many toxic RvB fans; I don’t actually know why this community is so toxic… maybe because it’s so old? IDK
I will offer the theory that RvB S13 and S14 are some of the best seasons out there. I am 100000% certain that most of these toxic fans will die out after S14. There are certain moments in S15/16 that people will want to see your reactions to, but on a much less scale than S13/14.
I apologise if my previous negative comment from before you came back upset you (I did apologise on said comment, but I understand the need to emphasize that apology and not just act like someone who got scared that you actually replied) and I fully support you if you want to ban people, including me :)
Take your time and enjoy it; the anime, RvB or the gaming!
P.S. I wrote this entire thing after I watched the video and then just had it on in the background whilst I typed. I considered just scrapping it to save face, but then you showed the ‘sorry my brother had my account’ comment XD I’ll label myself as a toxic RvB fan, but I don’t want to be in the same categoy as someone that can’t take responsibility for their actions and has to make up absurd shite!
I'm a long time fan who got roped in from your RWBY and RvB content, honestly it's all I really watch your content for. Yeah, it can be a little upsetting waiting for the next RvB episode, RvB is one of my hyperfixations (Autism and all that). But I couldn't fucking FATHOM typing out something so disrespectful and pretending like your other content is some how lesser because it's not the thing I enjoy. I don't know how people say you don't care, have they seen your other RvB reactions? They're hours long where you discuss, theory craft, and even take pages upon pages of notes! Then I realize it's def the crowd that skips to the reaction and then when it ends they just click off the video... Love what you're doing man, gonna get into your other content almost out of spite because you don't deserve this crap, keep on keeping on man. 👍
Holy moly. Don’t really know what to say. People are… really something. There’s an oily feeling of disgust for myself in my gut for the fact I was close to being one of these guys. That I could have been. I’m sorry.
Cook 'em, coach. I hear you on every word of this. We got you!
19:00
I think the Frieren reaction will come out relatively soon enough to the end of the season, such that youll still get people coming in for wanting to rewatch frieren in a way. But yeah, any other anime isnt a seasonal.
