Sorry about the audio issues. It’ll be fixed by next video!

Joey's mic is trash Let's fight

Am I going deaf or something?

Joey’s mic is as unstable as my mental state

Let’s get this straight, just because Joey doesn’t like something a lot doesn’t mean you can’t like it

Whats with your mic?

When you are just some Ghibli fan and you see the title and picture *screaming some swears in Welsh* (And deep bow to all people who read Howl's Moving Castle)

Square up. The video hasn’t started yet but I’m saying this now: Howls Moving Castle is great.

Whats wrong with the audio. It keeps changing volumes

"If you're an otaku, there's absolutely nothing wrong with liking 2D and 3D" The Anime Man - January 2019

Being a classic doesn’t shield something from criticism but let’s get something straight. Akira isn’t good BECAUSE it’s a classic. Akira is a classic BECAUSE it’s good. Quality causes the effect of being a classic, not the other way around.

Ghibli films are beautiful. I love them lol

They hated Jesus because he spoke the truth

TRIGGERED also anyone else have weird audio from this vid??

2019: Edgy is out, ecchi is in

Princess Mononoke was my first Ghibli Film and I still love it!

we all know you love ghibli stop clickbaiting smh shaking my head

The Anime Man: *"Ghibli Films Aren't Really THAT Great... LET'S FIGHT"* *_Hayao Miyazaki would like to know your location !_*

We’ve had attack on titan, my hero, dragon ball, Naruto and even Yuri on Ice posters sold at my local Walmart in West Virginia. It’s getting rather mainstream.

I mean Spirited Away won an Oscar for best animated picture of its year... so...

*reads title* Excuse me sir.

The controversial title of this video alone is superior to KZfaq Rewind 2018.

Ghibli anime is always beautiful & heart-warming

HAVE YOU NOT SEEN “GRAVE OF THE FIREFLIES”??!!!!!

I feel like the problem of targeting western audiences was misunderstood. I believe the tweet was referring to the feeling he has that themes, plots and styles of anime is changing to be more appealing to us. He was not referring to the acces we now have, as Joey thought. At least that's what I think.

16:56 Joey said he watched Akira 500 million times. In that case 500,000,000*2hrs(movie time)=1,000,000,000. 1,000,000,000/24hrs=41,666,666.66 days. 41,666,666.66/365=114,155.25 years. Damn, Joey.

Nobody: Title: “Ghibli films aren’t that great” Me: Ah your making a joke *dont joke about that. Ever.*

"Unpopular Opinions" Picks the ones with hundreds of likes

*Never used **_"Edgy"_** to describe an Anime anyway* I use it to describe shapes.

Who else scrolled to the comments to see if anyone else was having audio issues

Kaede is best imouto. What is he talking about?

Unpopular opinion: Yuri On Ice is NOT a yaoi Banana Fish is NOT a yaoi (or a romance in a general) Please understand the difference between yaoi and shounen ai

Me: "I swing both ways" Random person: "oh, so you're bisexual?" Me: "well, yeah, but actually I meant that I like both 2D and 3D" people

Nausicaa and the valley of the wind is so good. And princess mononoke is amazing.

I’ve been watching anime since I was a child! I’ve seen many anime movies as well but Ghibli movies just hit you different, they are in my humble opinion majestic and nostalgic after rewatching them all the time I can never get bored of them .

Joey should do a whole video where he’s anime Jessus he has to put on a kimono and get a Neon wig and a Katana and sacrifice his life in a bowl of Ramen for our Hentai.

Did anyone else get audio problems?

"because there's no teacher in reality like GTO" Nah not really, I've got plenty of teachers with Onizuka-kind of background in my life.

Actually, when I talked about music with a friend during my time in Japan, he opposed to the notion that "it's just normal music". When I mentioned that "I like J-Pop a bit, for example I like Mizuki Nana", he answered with "No, that's not J-Pop, that's Anison (abbr. Anime Song)". Granted, I didn't do any polls or social research on that, but this might not be as clear-cut as you present it.

Ghibli films are amazing Shinkai movies are amazing Anime is amazing The anime man is also amazing But that audio.....

Unpopular Opinion: You don't have to be an SJW to dislike constant oversexualization in anime.

GHIBLI FILMS ARE UNDERRATED! They're some of the best filmmaking there is, period yet mainstream critics rarely talk about them, only a single Ghibli on an Oscar, compared to like 20 for Pixar, but still, when they give them a chance they are fair, however, in the anime community...they are ESPECIALLY underrated, they majority of self proclaimed anime fans are edgy teens who dissmiss them as boring kiddie fare. Like Digibro himself admits that he only recently realized how amazing most of them are. And all of this I mean for the popular ones like Howl's Moving Castle and Spirited Away, if we are talking about the less popular ones, or even worse those that outright flopped in the box office like My Neighbors The Yamadas, they are litterally some of the most underrated movies of all time.

I like edgy shows. Edgy to me is kind of neutral to me though. It is just one aspect of a show. It does not make show good or bad. Some ppl enjoy that aspect, some dont. That's fine.

Shit mate you made me worried about my headphones

Unpopular opinion: animes that people call overrated are usually just overhyped and not overrated

Speaking of streaming and Spotify there are full anime albums that are on spotify but also BLOCKED! I'm mad >:(

I don't have a problem with these people but saying studio Ghibli films are overrated is the most stabs I have gotten in the back. Most films are funny beautiful and sad. Examples. Porco Rosso, Spirit away and grave of the fireflies are beautiful pieces of art with compelling stories

"Just because it's classic, it doesn't mean it's good" "The world focuses too much at the main characters" *OH MY FUCKIN-* *WHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAH*

Joey: There are way more confusing movie's out there than *Akira.* Me: Like Naruto: The Last! I don't mind NaruHina being canon, but I don't understand how a gengetsu showing Naruto that Hinata likes him makes him realize he liked her instead of Sakura the whole tim- *gets curbstomped by the majority of the Naruto fanbase*

24:43 I thought Joey was the man who thought Ghibli films were "overrated" and I ended up agreeing much more to Joey's point than I would've imagined

100% agree, no crime in watching the anime without reading the manga. I've done it that way for years. But recently I've been thinking about how much I loved _Claymore_ and how I wanted it to continue, and I remembered there's a manga with a dozen more volumes, so I bought the first 3 volumes to start and cracked the first one open yesterday. I'm in love once again. Moral of the story: if you love the anime and want more than the anime has to offer, read the manga.

That's some edgy weeb cringe.

Quick lesson, everything with regards to entertainment is subjective. You like what you like, if someone else doesnt like what you like then it doesnt make the thing you like any less likeable... You don't need validation, now go enjoy your 2019 and dont forget to smile.

Was anyone else relieved when they looked at the comments because you thought your hearing had gone whack?

CASSETTES?! did you say japans still has cassettes?! D: i want some.

i thought my earphones were breaking from the audio lol

Main characters are called "Main" because they are the main focus of the story, not necessary of the world they live in. While Kaneko is the main character of Tokyo Ghoul, and very important to the world that surrounds him, he is irrelevant to the world as a whole.

Umm... Did I just have a heart attac, bc you mentioned Finland??? Like, WE FINALLY GOT NOTICED! 🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮

When the volume randomly decreased I thought I am starting to go deaf.

Is Ghibly pronounced as Gibly or Jibly? I've heard it both ways.

I felt an oncoming war! And now I know why. May god have mercy upon all of you soldiers who fight in the comments! God bless!

when I read the title I was like *"oh you wanna FIGHT fight huh?"*

22:23 I think you're missing their point there, mate. They are saying that shows become worse if they are made with the western audience in mind and when they are trying to appease to us. This has nothing to do with availability.

Nausicaä is a masterpiece and you can’t change my mind. The music is some of the all time greatest in film!

Jotaro Kujo went from the biggest Chad to the biggest Nice Guy from Part 3 to Part 6 Let's Fight

To each his own. Ghibli films are more of a short story stretched out then something with a huge plot with character development and all that. I love most the films.

You know what? A lot of people in Russia think that BnHA is overrated. And it's bs, bc now it's underrated in Russia, so many people hate it just because it's popular, it's ridiculous!

i see sophie from howl's moving castle, i click.

5:55 SSKRAATTTARR DUU FÖRRLOOORARRR DUUUU!! MMAANNNNEEENNN!!

Akira is an a masterpiece and what brought anime to the west and made all the big movie directors go what the hell is anime. Akira is amazing

"All old anime aren't good anime" was misunderstood by you. It was pointing at the people that go out of their way to say they only watch "old" anime. It do get annoying. lol

Tbh Akira was just plain boring to me, the characters felt like they did things purely so the plot could advance and their reactions (or lack thereof) really don't feel like any reactions humans could have. Dudes go from trying to kill each other to helping each other out in mere seconds for example. He knocks someones head off at the beginning of the movie and later goes on about a random stranger getting shot and nearly beating someone to death. Also the death of his girlfriend got completely ignored by everyone else? idk

Ok i agree Ghibli films aren't "that great", i think they're amazing, but really i like them because they're still animated in a traditional 2D sense, and the worldbuilding is amazing, that's the most i care about tbh, the art

I literally thought I was going deaf while watching this

I'm amazed that Japan makes all kinds of new and amazing technology, weird vending machines, and stores filled with anime and videogame things, but yet they are behind on things like spotify?!

Ah, yes. Anime hobo Jesus is back.

I don't know how or why, but Spirited Away always finds a way to pop up back into my life. When I was really young around tens years ago I watched the film, and the scene that I recall each time was when the parents turned into pigs. Traumatizing, I wouldn't go that far as to say that, but it's always going to remind me of the film. I can't really remember what the film was about, but I'll re-watch it someday.

I understand Joeys points, but I still think they could do some stuff to make it more like the games and make it less about the main characters while still appealing to a child audience. Like adding lore about legendaries, and why they’re legendary in the first place, teaching us about how Pokemon in the wild live, and in battles having trainer be more strategic and smart with the Pokemon they choose and the moves they use Having the turn base is stupid in an anime, but the super effective thing could be put in there subtly without ruining the action if done right. Pokemon having more than 4 moves is fine, but the lack of items to use is strange to me. The fact that they have a huge sprawling world to explore and don’t is annoying to me, and the main characters always being the focus in these enormous regions severely limits the possible stories they can tell. Also, letting them achieve goals every once in a while would be nice. Like let ash become a champion, then in a later series, he comes back to be challenged for his title by the new main character. Honestly, I know the anime can’t follow all the rules of the game, but I don’t think it should ignore them either. It’s definitely possible to make a good Pokemon anime while sticking to most of the rules and being interesting at the same time

When he mentioned how no one talks about the bad anime, I just kept thinking about School Days and him talking about it on Trash Taste and mentioning it in like 2 other videos lol

"Don't wanna get into the touchy topic of censorship", isn't that the point of Let's Fight?

I call my hero academia overrated, not because i don't like it. Its because I think it isnt nearly as good as people say it is.

Spirited Away was the very first anime movie I watched as a kid, and until now I love it. Also there's Howl's Moving Castle, Princess Mononoke, Castle in the Sky, Kiki's Delivery Service, My Neighbor Totoro. They all have that certain aesthetic I really like. So I guess it just depends upon a person's taste.

I hate the fact that anime is so mainstream all of a sudden. Fight me

The Rem plush looks like it’s enjoying itself.

22:25 that's my tweet so I want to explain what I meant by saying this. I totally agree with you Joey about getting more opportunities as an overseas fan like you said in the video. However, for me nowadays anime is talking more about subjects that are common anywhere else but not in Japan... or it just feels too americanized. Like I miss specific vibe that anime has as it was one of the reasons i've fallen in love with it. Secondly, sometimes when I watch newer series I just feel like whole show is only about being mainstream (by that i mean targeting more towards overseas industry) and gaining money for studios. Of course that's not about every anime but, in some seasons, majority. Hope my intentions are now clear haha! Also keep going and love ya boi 👏🏻

I can't be assed to watch a half an hour video on how studio ghibli films are bad. Spirited Away, Howl's Moving Castle, Laputa Castle In The Sky, My neighbour totoro, Princess Mononoke, Ponyo, Whisper Of The Heart, From Up On Poppy Hill and Porco Rosso. These are the greatest animated films there are, there music is astounding, there visuals are brilliant and the plots and so strangely fantastic. I think this statement is just for views and anybody who agrees is wrong. This debate is black and white. No pixar or disney film will ever compete the perfection of Studio Ghibli films. Sorry for the rant just think this is a very wrong idea.

I don't care if Howl's Moving Castle wins as long as Ponyo loses.

Lol, you (the people who agree with the tweet) may not like Ghibli but that actually doesn't matter. Ghibli's Spirited Away, My Neigbor Totoro, Grave of the fireflies and Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind are all masterpieces that rivals Disney's best works in quality and in some ways actually even surpasses them. I could write an essay on why each of those movies are objectively good movies in regard to the technical aspects, the scripts, art and music. People need to understand just because they don't like something doesn't mean it's objectively "meh". Same goes for those that just because you like something doesn't mean it's actually objectively good. You can like stuff that is pretty mediocre of a variety of different reasons. They can resonate with you on a personal level because of emotional inputs you receive while watching, like nostalgia etc. There are for an example a lot of Marvel movies that I don't like because the humor in them doesn't resonate with me. So the marvel movies with a lot of focus on these jokes like Thor Ragnarok and Guardians of the Galaxy are really hard to watch for me. That doesn't make them shit movies (they are no master pieces either though but they're not bad). Another example would be that I really love the One Piece anime as it makes me laugh and generally puts me in a good mood. That doesn't change the fact that 25% of the episodes are taken up by recaps, the animation consistency is awful, the characters are one dimensional and it's getting painfully clear that Oda is starting to reuse plot points (Dressrosa arc is pretty much a copy of the Alabasta arc). I love the series despite these flaws because of how it makes me feel while I'm watching but I would never say it is a masterpiece. Same could be said about the Star Wars OT if you would like another example (those three are of significant higher quality than One Piece though but still not masterpieces). Maybe I'm taking this to seriously and it's only to trigger a response from people. I guess I'm getting fed up with feeling based critics that refuses to actually think about why they like/dislike something.

*8 ads in a 30 minute video yay!*

6:00 This person predicted the future WAY to well

pokemon was dumb? i dare you to say you didnt shed a tear when Ash left pikachu with them pichus

Unpopular opinion: one piece is too long

I do tend to agree that Ghibli films are praised as masterpieces and some do have a nice atmosphere and great animation but plot-wise or in telling a story they fall really flat.

On the topic of streaming music, Spotify doesn't have some things. One of my favorite artists is Nano, and not a single song by her is on Spotify save for a single colab done with My First Story. It's honestly a decent bit upsetting.

I got a million fuckin ads of Onmyoji on crunchyroll and nearly killed myself when I got another one just when I was feeling safe from them on my favorite channel. You have betrayed me

30 min long video noice i think anime became more popular after some celebrities talked about anime

Is anyones audio also bad in the video?

I’ve watched only one ghibli movie (spirited away) and I already love studio ghibli and plan to watch many more of their movies

Old anime that is still widely watched(despite most of its contemporaries being lost to history) definitely has something interesting, though. It may or may not be good, but it did something to be remembered so it's worth watching

2:50 Joey:they are cute Outside:FBI open up
