How to live a peaceful life : 1. Get a nice job 2. Get a nice partner 3. Watch Anime that *you* like 4. Never talk about it online

Dude the " I read the manga" Is such a powerful spell that makes most of the normies fear you.

As a manga reader, I can confirm, it is the superior status, because you unlock the mighty counter-argument to argue against any take of anime "Anime only?"

My favorite people to show anime to are people who've never watched anime before. No toxicity, no past experiences, just a fresh mind to objectively discuss the thing we're watching.

just today on reddit - "My mom has beat cancer" "Can she best goku tho?"

Publicly giving an opinion on anime is beyond a war zone now lmao.

The best part is how easily this translates to other hobbies and yet remains structurally COMPLETELY ACCURATE.

Honestly, this isn't just an anime thing. Every fandom I'm in has people shitting on each other's opinions for one reason or another. There's usually plenty of reasonable people around as well, though. Most anime fans I know IRL are pretty friendly, though. Lots of fun talking about shows with them, especially since they've usually seen different ones than I have because I'm a filthy casual who watches maybe one or two new shows a year.

Choose your execution method: 1. Electric Chair 2. Lethal injection 3. Stating an opinion about anime

who would've thought that interacting with other socially awkward weirdos would be such a pain

3:43 Secrets of Eternity was released in January 2015. This set introduced the Infernoids, a series of monsters that can Special Summon themselves to the field by banishing other Infernoids from either the hand or graveyard. Notable cards in set include Farfa, Malebranche of the Burning Abyss, Qliphort Monolith, Uni-Zombie, Nephe Shaddoll Fusion, and a card that would bolster Satellarknight to combat the Burning Abyss Shaddoll meta, Stellarknight Constellar Diamond. In this series, both Nyhmnim and myself will be opening 24 booster packs or 1 box of a core Yu-Gi-Oh! booster set. We will build a deck and play a best 2 out of 3, and the winner will receive a small prize to upgrade their deck. HOWEVER! Each episode, we will open another box of the next set that was released moving in chronological order, constantly upgrading our decks before dueling each other at the end of each episode. This is the Yu-Gi-Oh! Progression Series.

you put all the thoughts ive been having for a year into words with your video. i feel exactly like this. even irl its doomed cuz anime is for the socially awkward and inept so cuz of that most anime convos never go well. its best to just enjoy this hobby by yourself or with those closest to you. actually when i think about the best anime experiences ive had its exactly that. nothing beats finding an obscure show that love and you feel like youve found a hidden gem. and watching hype anime with close family and friends is so much fun especially if its a funny show. theres just better ways to enjoy anime than discussing it with strangers online

The phrase more powerful than "I read the manga.": "I read the Light Novel."

Once upon a time meeting another anime fan meant a life long friend. You didn't care if you two had different opinions on various anime, you'd just be happy to have finally met another person who actually likes the same things as you. I miss those days...

I have watched so much anime that I have become immune to normal rated R scenes on a certain website, and now I exclusively go to another rated R website that only shows two dimensions. I need help and grass to touch

I have a friend that's a "fan" of Berserk but hasn't read the manga so trying to have a conversation about anything past the golden age is impossible.

never ask a man his salary never ask a woman her age and whatever the fuck you do, NEVER ask anime fans their opinions on Imperial Japan/Fascism.

"Just say you read manga." I cannot describe the emotional reaction I had to that final line because it's both an amazing joke, true, actually works, and called over a million people out like no one has ever called us out before. I went through all the stages of grief in about three seconds.

Nothing is more pure than an anime girl smile. Then there's Makima

Really good videos , good editing, love spending my afternoon watching this

Having someone ask "have you seen this new anime?" And you responding, "What anime? Oh, this has an anime? I read the manga like 4 years ago." Is such a quick way to kill a conversation because the series was either forgettable or you don't know how much you can talk about because you don't know where the show is.

"Interacting with fellow anime fans" That simple statement sent shivers down my spine.

38 seconds in i was already laughing. Great editing! Anime fandoms are rough, though i'm kinda tired of the aspect of anime being one... genre? In my brain it's just watching entertainment from the internet. When you tell someone "i watch anime", the worst-case-scenario is them forming a stereotypical image of your personality in their head. I mean come on, there are anime enjoyers who haven't been uwu baka sillyfied. Anyway, I wanted to share one of my wholesome experiences. I have a few friends who watch anime, but none of them are as nerdy as me. For the most part our conversations are on the surface... You watched this too? What were your thoughts? Who was your favourite character? Well, last summer i met a guy who was as nuts as me. Bro was an irl reddit user. It felt so good to be able to use all those fancy ass terms, break down cliches, exchange hidden gems. It made a huge difference to talk to a mutual, not some rando.

"Idol fans are too busy building a shrine to celebrate a birthday for a girl who doesn't exist" hit me like a god damn tank shell its so fucking true

"Mecha fans are happy to find other people who still watch mecha" TRUTH, Y'ALL DON'T KNOW HOW HAPPY AND EXCITED I WAS WHEN I FINALLY FOUND SOMEONE WHO I COULD TALK ABT MECHA WITH.

damn I feel old, I remember when I was in high school, you meet someone who's also into anime, doesn't matter if you haven't watched the same shows, it usually ends in mutual friendship. nowadays it feels like the word fandom is synonymous with cult.

I died laughing and as an avid dragon ball fan all of the jokes especially the dragon ball jokes are painfully true. This was fantastic and thank you Gigguk sama for instructing me in the ways of anime communication. P.S. I don't know if I used sama correctly so sorry if I didn't

I really felt that ""I read manga". Amazing video!! The "what do to when encountering anime fan" section was amazing, lol. Mecha fandom sounds like a safe haven!

Many questions can be asked while discussing anime like “what do this series’ nuances imply” or “what are the themes trying to say about our greater world” or “how well are the character interactions and dialogue written”. The most important question, however, is always: “Can they beat Goku?” Because the hallmark of a good series is how easily one of your characters can clap another. Because writing fiction is a competition that can be settled like in arm wrestling.

'Their favorite author isn't in fact a deity for foreshadowing the jelly donut island arc 500 episodes ago with a shadow of luffys ass' is the best line in the video. (edit:Thanks guys for the 1.3k likes)

Sometimes there are videos I can upvote multiple times, this is one of those videos.

Now we just take it a step further... To shut down all manga readers, just say: "I read the novel"

A shower is a place in which a person bathes under a spray of typically warm or hot water. Indoors, there is a drain in the floor. Most showers have temperature, spray pressure and adjustable showerhead nozzle. The simplest showers have a swivelling nozzle aiming down on the user, while more complex showers have a showerhead connected to a hose that has a mounting bracket. This allows the showerer to hold the showerhead by hand to spray the water onto different parts of their body. A shower can be installed in a small shower stall or bathtub with a plastic shower curtain or door. Showering is common in Western culture due to the efficiency of using it compared with a bathtub. Its use in hygiene is, therefore, common practice

I'm impressed with the amount of stock footage you used XD

“Oda is just a human being” ahhh ssshhhh that stingsss 😭😭😭

All this proves is that the only way to have a non-toxic discussion about anime is to find friends irl that have a life outside of amine, but still have the same interests as you.

This is so true. Websites like Reddit, Twitter are battle fields now. You can't call a character/series overrated, underrated, GOAT. All are mid.

My experience with finding out someone is an anime fan follows as such: - We both get super excited that we both watch anime - Our conversation starts with a common anime we both watch and like - Our conversation derails to other animes we like/watch - But every for every anime we both bring up, the other hasn't never heard of it or seen it before - thus begins the cycle of: "Have you seen this?", "No", *awkward silence*

0:47 anything but eromanga sensei bro.

Never thought I’d see a dune reference in a gigguk video. Respect. You are like actually for real a man of culture.

So many facts in one place.

"The first lesson on having opinion on an anime is DON'T " and that is the best advice/lesson i have ever heard in my weeb life Thank you

I've carefully manuevered away nearly any fandoms that I have a slightly detailed knowledge of anime and now able to be an novice interpreter with sanity

nah fr. this is why i just don't talk about any of my interests online. the only people that get to hear about them are the ones tied up in my basement

8:10 lol, *Just Some Guy without a Mustache* gained so much popularity that he got nominated

Garnt... you forgot how to interact with Anime Fans at Conventions.

even bigger flex is ive read all of the Mushoku Tesei light novels

Some of the most toxic anime fans are the ones who go out of their way to comment “mid” on literally everything, and then spew vitriol on anybody who dares call them out on their ridiculously arbitrary standards of what makes something good, which wouldn’t be an issue because we all have different tastes, but they want to force everybody to agree with them. I am personally a big fan of KNY, cuz I love stuff that’s less about stories and more about characters. I’m not smart enough to keep track of complex worldbuilding most of the time. Plus the art and design is gorgeous. Now a tremendous amount of people seem to have an issue.. with me… liking something they don’t. I realize a lot of KNY fans (like in any fandom) also act like it’s the best thing ever and everything else is “mid” but guys like don’t you have anything better to do?? I can’t imagine living with that much hate towards a freaking fictional series. Let me enjoy my funny demon hunters in peace.

Being horny is absolutely a personality trait. It's just that being able to flirt requires the weeb to multiclass into something that can remember what the sun feels like.

nothing me gives me more motivation to improve my way of life than reading anime fans (mostly shonen fans) tear each other apart just for having a difference in taste - me, a slice of life/rom com enjoyer

I've been on 2 anime conventions. One located in a school to have fun for cosplayers and one One Piece themed event on my most visited shopping malls! They're pretty chill and wholesome and i took pictures with them for fun.

That moment where at 0:54 i saw chat it made me feel both old and... Well, old. haven't seen that guy in a long time.

Summarising the 11 minutes of how to discuss anime online: Don't discuss anime online *AT ALL*

This whole Video is masterpiece & had me cracking TF up but the part that shook me the most was that very brief EXTREME DInosaurs Reference in 2022 lmaooo my brain just had One For ALl Activation moment for my inner 90s kid like "People Also remember this" hahahaha

I’m very glad I left the anime community. Aside from Only One, I haven’t watched anime in over a year and it has been so refreshing. However those previous scars will never heal.

7:26 That sounds like a reasonable take tbh, that panel looks better than the anime frame

Garnt : "You shouldn't see any difference in the upload schedule" Everybody else : "There's an upload schedule???"

This man not only is peak culture when it comes to anime, but is also a Prog enjoyer. I can’t anymore man

Thank your for your enlightening words to a humble web such as myself.

3:48 This is literally in every factor me (except, that I haven’t watched GOT)

When you find someone to talk about anime with you feel like you found a long lost brotha

"Giving an opinion is an invite to a war zone." You sir have invented warfare And challenge every community against you

I just can't get over the kisuke and Caveman Ichigo part

Human: * *breathes* * JOJO fans: is that a jojo reference?

I love how Gigguk is aware of the existence of “He who can be identified as someone that doesn’t bare any facial hair above the mouth and beneath the nose.”

Holy cow, didn’t expect a “However” Cimoooooo joke here but I was pleasantly surprised!

4:56 it means that it made you feel no emotion. No hatred for the anime no love for it. It just exists.

I've read the manga, light novels, played the eroge original AND received psychic transmissions of the inevitable youtube reviews for the new anime that is airing rn

“Just say you read manga.” Joey, off-screen: *sweats profusely*

shoutout to those Weekly shonen jump twitter accounts that post information about said mangas to keep fans up to date... if you check the replies of those account's tweets, its always the same crap of people treating the mangas in the magazine like some sports competiion where you are only allowed to like one manga and have to automatically think all the others are below trash

Gigguk.. this is one of your best videos yet.. but I've already learned this lesson the hard way The anime community traumatized me😂 I don't even talk about anime with any body again.. I just watch what I like and enjoy

9:20 didnt expect to watch gigguk and learn something new

Yes, I did see Bludgeoning Angel Dokuro-Chan. How could you tell?

The real secret is that when you are a strong enough fan of a genre, you can share your opinions about anything freely. Sure, the internet will still absolutely destroy you for it, but they would have done that regardless. The difference is that in your own mind you'll have ascended to a plane of superiority where the criticisms no longer bother you. I call this... the JoJo complex.

I dont tell people I like anime anymore because they will just think of me as all the other anime-degenerates

The Cimoooooooo reference made me laugh hard ngl. A man of culture you are, good sir.

I remember when I was young and stupid, wanting to talk to other people about anime. I wish I could go back to those days. Now almost every anime comment section is almost as toxic as Twitter thread.

I'm just happy that you added a few jojo clips

i literally just put eva 02 on my car last week and this video has made me feel so attacked 😂

Never have I been so offended by something I 100% agree with.

Mecha community is honestly beautiful. Everyone appriciates mechas and accept that mechas are just really cool, even if the particular one is not to their tastes.

Honestly, I like finding niche stuff, watching it, then finding all the stuff it's adapted from

10:06 as a manga reader I can confirm the amount of times that saying im a manga reader have saved me in an anime conversation online is close to infinity ( nice video )

Garnt is a true hero teaching new anime fans how to discuss anime online. Hopefully a few less souls have to learn this the hard way now.

nah just a guy without a mustache shot out was legendary

I’m getting the sense that Garnt has been reading Dune lately. There were at least two references to it that I caught in this video. That would actually be a dope video idea, although making non anime content is probably risky

Twitter is actually the funniest place in my opinion. I honestly can't take anything seriously there but that makes it even better lol.

9:39 he is not wrong tho i have been there and its nice everyone is just chill

I'm amazed how accurate this video is. As an one piece extreme fanboy I literally cried from laughing at the "oda is a normal human being" part. it was a good joke :)

"Getting cooked on twitter doesn’t mean you were wrong" Emiya Kiritsugu

I don't have a problem with Demon Slayer tbh, im just jealous that its getting an such a great adaptation that other well written stories have never gotten.

As a person who has never seen a single anime I find this very helpfull indeed

The final step is saying “Oh I already read the Light Novel” then even manga readers will leave you alone

This man has achieved the impossible. In just 10 minutes he shat on every single anime subcommunity in existence 😂

I gotta admit that was one smooth transition into the sponsor

still think the best experience is to consume all media - start with the anime, continue with manga and end by reading the light novel - your brain will do the rest 👍
