The "My Favourite Things" series is one of my favourite things of any particular season.

Always love when Ghost Trick gets the respect it deserves!

Your Mic work as Leslie is absolutely incredible! The way you work the crowd, the charisma that oozes with every word you say, the way you tear down simon in that promo by destroying his image as a wrestler and showing that the crowd doesn't care about Simon as a wrestler is GOLD. 10/10 heel promo right there!

Puss in Boots was a goddamn miracle. That movie was lightning in a bottle.

Can't believe Super Eyepatch Wolf bodied Gigguk in SF6 so hard he ragequitted, truly unreal

Puss In Boots blew me away with how good it was, I've recommended it to all of my friends

All I can say is thanks for your kind words! I feel like I've been a subscriber to you for forever so seeing my own channel pop up quite literally made me spit my dinner out. It means a lot that you've been enjoying my videos! Also - yes to shouting out Tangomushi! I can proudly say that I've been subscribed to her since her very first video and watching her frankly meteoric rise as an writer and horror analyst has been incredible. Easily the most underrated channel on KZfaq at the moment and I would bet large amounts that her channel becomes a very big deal in the video game horror space.

I'm a concept artist, I literally wrote a huge blog post on my Patreon gushing about the artistry of puss in boots because it's so amazing. Fun fact: the artists purposely composed shots featuring Death as highly symmetrical, which is unusual compared to the rest of the film and makes him even more jarring and frightening when he shows up. Also, the white rim lighting they use on him adds extra graphical storytelling emphasizing how sharp and scary the shapes of his design are. It's genius.

loved the heartfelt message at the end about street fighter 6 and media in general. media and art makes us feel less lonely and gives us comfort in the toughest times and I'm so grateful for all the creators who put their work out there.

I have never seen a man so desperately living his best life, unafraid to be so full of sorrow and beauty simultaneously. Every time I watch a Super Eyepatch Wolf video, I kick myself for not embracing more experiences, be they more diverse Anime, Video Games, Books, and Wrestling. I know the world can be a sad, bitter place, and the internet is a den full of that, but honestly...Thank you for your heart. We all really appreciate you.

The thing that blew me away with Puss in Boots was the accurate portrayal of a panic attack. In all the movies I´ve watched, I´ve never seen that.

Heavenly Delusion is right up there with Vinland Saga as the best anime of the year. I'm glad to see it getting love. ❤

It’s great to see all this ghost trick love. Now we just need people to show 999 and other cool visual novels more love so companies might actually start making them again. Or at least translate some old ones

You really should make a three hour video about all things Street Fighter some day. I'm actually surpised you didn't do that already!

Ghost Trick is the real deal. I honestly think anyone who even slightly enjoyed the writing in Ace Attorney owes it to themselves ro play it. Edit: In case any are unaware, it's on all major platforms now.

I love seeing Wolf live his wrasslin dreams

I saw Ghost Trick in the thumbnail so now I'm geeking out. Such an amazing game. I wish I could get everyone to play it.

Ghost Trick is one of the all time great games. It's so incredible with one of the best narratives in games. That's been a minority view since it came out. With the remake I'm hoping people really begin to see it.

Heavenly Delusion is an instant classic. Absolute masterpiece. Can't recommend it enough.

So happy that Ghost Trick is getting the recognition it deserved. Hopefully there's a sequel.

It's always a good day when SEW uploads.

As someone who binged all of Tango's videos when I discovered her last month, seeing her as your opening favorite thing made me smile.

I gotta say John, please never stop being passionate about things and sharing them with everyone through videos like this i cant think of a single time ive watched one of these without walking away with something new that i missed but that quickly becomes a new fascination for a little while from animes i would have skipped over on a whim or mangas i probably wouldnt have stumbled upon to fear and hunger or even this time with paranormasight. In addition to all of that most of your other mentions just happen to align with things i didnt miss and also became passionate about and its great to just hear someone talk positively about something you enjoy

Every time I watch one of your videos, I always feel enthralled by media I’ve never encountered before and somehow feel nostalgia for??? I’m so happy that you get to do what you do and imma continue to enjoy media I enjoy too :) thanks for sharing your art to the world man

Heavenly Delusion legit popped out of nowhere to blow my mind

Leslie Bestington is my favorite person I hope he keeps showing up randomly In these videos

In the sentiment of your final segment, your fear and hunger content has been one of those media saving graces for me in and incredibly hard last few months. Thank you for making such amazing videos even with this year being difficult, here's to the rest of year being better to all of us.

The black & tans sample got a massive pop out of me, love that! On a more serious note, this has been the most difficult and painful year of my life by a long shot, and just as the media you love comforts and distracts you, the recommendations are a lifejacket in the storm for me and many others. Thank you, mate, sincerely.

Hearing your story about how street fighter is apart of your life really connected with me. I remember when I first discovered Street Fighter through an emulator website. Everything about it blew my mind and since then I have become a proud member of the FGC. Thanks to Street Fighter, I've made lots of friends, discovered other games like Guilty Gear and The King of Fighters, and helped me through rough points in my life. Playing Street Fighter 6 for the first time was like going back in time to when I played the series for the first time. "Street Fighter is back" and its here to stay

Heavenly Delusion is truly incredible, I dearly hope it gets a second season

Great stuff, knew some of them (and agreed), and am excited to check out the rest. I hope things are on the uptick for you, I appreciate your sharing the things that have helped; as much as it's nice to have someone share the moments of joy or meaning they've experienced it's all the more meaningful to hear the human context to it. I hope more moments continue to provide those footholds for you as you continue forward through the summer and into autumn.

I don't know how to describe it, but no other anime gives me the same feeling I did watching heavenly delusion. The animation and the story are both amazing and had me utterly engrossed start to finish

Heavenly Delusion also probably had my favorite ED of the season too. I can't help but sing along like Maru and Kiruko were.

Nice to see someone who shares my exact love and enthusiasm of John Wick Chapter 4. The opening punches felt like cannon fire in the theatre, and it set the stage for a movie that felt like something Zeus might have punished Prometheus for daring to bring to us humans. Mortal eyes were not meant to see this. It's not often an action movie can craft a first(ish) fight scene that feels like a legendary & climactic final battle, and then have the fights _still_ get better as the movie goes on. If you still haven't seen it, do yourself a favor, it takes all the lessons learned from every one of the previous movies and amps it up to 11. Everything from the neon lighting to the killer soundtrack is impeccable.

You have an absolute talent for making me interested in things that I didn’t know existed just a couple minutes prior, I hope you know that

It’s not THE FINAL GAMER, but I’m glad to be watching this too. Thank you, John. ❤

Your 'Favorite Things' videos always feel like a warm hug. Thank you.

I always look forward to these videos, its such a bright spot when a new one drops & I get a bunch of cool stuff to check out that wasn't even on my radar before. Thanks for sharing with us!

Every video with john feels like a deep conversation you have with your best friend about the most the intimate things they hold deep in their heart and I love how much emotional it makes me feel about things I would have never thought about

Although I’m not the biggest fan of Boy’s Abyss, it’s mangaka Minenami Ryo is one of my favorites. Their most successful work, Hatsukoi Zombie, being a bizarre and fascinating take on the tomfoolery of the shounen harem. The reason I specifically named that one is because it’s the easiest to pitch, but all of their work is fantastic.

One truly fascinating thing about Heavenly Delusion is that the mangaka, Masakazu Ishiguro, began it in part as an attempt to write something completely different from his previous series, the comedy slice-of-life And Yet the Town Moves, or SoreMachi for short. SoreMachi is a beloved series in Japan, literally winning awards, and Ishiguro had no idea how he could possibly follow it up, so he decided to go with an idea he'd been rolling around in his head for years, inspired by his love of Akira and philosophical ruminations on the nature of evil. So he wrote Heavenly Delusion. And the weird thing is, if you've either read or watched And Yet the Town Moves, the really warm and nuanced character writing and askew sense of humour all carry through. But Heavenly Delusion takes all of the tiniest hints of darkness and deep, intense strangeness that lurks between the lines of SoreMachi and amplifies them by countless orders of magnitude, and that's wild to me.

Special regards to you for telling about Heavenly Delusion. Literally a must-watch anime

you described perfectly why i loved Heavenly dellusion so much. Like when it finished i could not really say that was a flawless show (that scene mentioned really felt unnecesary) but what it did good was so great. i haven´t felt that level of awe of expectation for the next episode in a sesonal anime in years.

That is so wondrously kind of you to showcase smaller channels. I've been watching I Finished a Video Game's retrospectives for months now, and he always delivers. Everyone, please don't let that recommendation pass you by. That is a top-tier quality channel.

Really glad to see Until I Love Myself get some recognition! It’s such a fantastic and, personally, relatable manga. To see it being shouted out by you really made my day! I hope it encourages others to give a chance, as I haven’t seen anyone else talk about it until now

Yesssss! "Paranormasight : The 7 mysteries of Honjo" is so cool! Absolutely unappreciated!

Your storytelling in every video is a work of art man. I love seeing how you have evolved over the years.

I always look forward to these helps me brake up the monotony that I set myself into for media

Heavenly Delusion is dope, glad it's getting love

These videos are always a treat to watch, and idk if its just me, but this.. genre, I guess? Of like, internet dudes talking about how much they love the stuff that I also love is really one of my favorite kinds of videos to watch. Just seeing a passionate video about something I enjoy with thousands of people viewing it like me fills me with joy. My only issue is that these videos aren't longer 😂

“…Good art can be a reprieve from that… and that’s why I make these videos”. This genuinely made me tear up as I watch your videos because they are a reprieve from mental and physical health issues I have. Thanks for making good art.

Just wanted to say I bought the summer shirt about a month ago and love it. The material feels nice and I’m thrilled with the fit. I’m tall and on the thin side, but an XL has a great amount of length and is tall in a way that I really appreciate. Sometimes getting a shirt that is long enough makes it way too baggy, but the shirt feels and looks great. Love the artwork too!

Every time I watch one of your videos it reminds me why I think so highly of your channel. I feel like your content embodies everything you put forwards in this and I enjoyed every second of it.

14:36 yes, as a fellow frequently enjoyer of depression, unaliving and melacholly I can relate and thank you for that recommendation.

tengoku daimakyou is genuinely so amazing, it and mushoku tensei gotta be the best two anime as of late

Heavenly Delusion anime of the year contender for sure!

Thank you so much for this video, I always appreciate it when they comes out and to see you start with two KZfaqrs I ALSO ran into in the last 6 months makes me BEYOND happy. Stay safe, stay healthy and please keep making, critiquing and analyzing art we all find intriguing!

I'm one of the weirdos who found out through the wrestling videos. I assumed outside of wrestling, this was an anime channel and I do not care about anime at all, so I was happy to pop in whenever you did a wrestling video and otherwise tune out. But KZfaq said i should watch this and I did. Starting this video I was already thinking my favorite thing this year is unquestionably Street Fighter 6. But MAN, I did not expect to see it here. Like you, I am also experiencing a profoundly difficult year. The death of the closest person in my life, combined with numerous other personal struggles has kicked my ass. I spent most of the year literally counting down the days til SF6 launched as I'm a huge SF fan. Even still, I didnt expect to love it as much as I do or it to be as amazing as it is. Feeling the love and passion that drips from that game straight up reinvigorated me and reminded me about how positive life can be despite how cruel it can be. So I guess I wanted to express this weird, surprising kinship we have over some of our interests and also just thank you for making these videos. You do great work and you always find a way to sensibly speak the jumble of thoughts I have about a topic (like calling the Tribal Chief story an "unreality of wrestling". Thank you. And hell, I'll try that one Boys anime you mentioned too.

EyepatchWolf X Simon Miller was the crossover I never knew I wanted...Now i have to watch puss in boots 2 and pull off a binge watch on John Wick one of these days.

Heavenly Delusion is such a good show. Glad I started watching it on a whim.

always giving me lots of stuff to look forward too with these videos. contagious excitement and whatnot

bruh these episodes always have the perfect mix of obscure and well-known, while always having stuff I've never heard of and genuinely want to check out

I love the favorite things series, its by far my favorite! Thanks for making this an awesome day wolf!

Love the shout out for Heavenly Delusion, I hope you will try the manga, not just to catch up on the story and its intricate plot but also to experience the story in the medium of manga, which it really takes advantage of (plus the various cut scenes, I definitely recommend starting from the beginning with the manga, even if one has already watched the anime).

It’s so heartwarming to hear when someone’s describing his passion in a such real way. Thank you for another great vid ^^.

I'm glad that Eve of all things made it here! I only found the channel a year or so back and I fell in love-

Ghost Trick is one of my favorite games of all time and has been for years and years. Finally getting a remaster and it getting the attention it deserves makes me just so happy!!

Your videos have this aura that is just so endearing. Love them to death, and I hope you're able to come through your trials as best as you can.

10:45 AHHH I LOVE "OUT OF PHASE" and I am glad people are exploring it more now!

11:25 It's okay John. I have a fantasy of becoming a chestburster in a D&D campaign. We all have our weird dreams.

Each of your videos is an amazing roller coaster ride I always look forward to what you enjoy and recommend. It’s nice to check up on.

I'm so glad Heavenly Delusion is getting all the recognition it deserves, Ishiguro is a genius. You definitely gotta check this author's other manga, Soredemo Machi wa Mawatteiru, it's a hidden gem.

"Hello! You you like it when girls are MEAN TO YOU?" FINALLY, AN ADVERTISEMENT THAT CATERS TO ME SPECIFICALLY

ghost trick was amazing. I played it on my Steam Deck while on vacation, what an experience

Tangomushi getting the shout-out they deserve is always amazing. One of their videos popped up in my recommended, and I proceeded to binge watch their entire channel.

I just binged all of Heavenly Delusion yesterday I really enjoyed it, I hope we can get another season.

Thank you for your effort into each of these Best of videos. I've discovered so many cool things from them in the past, and I'm sure I will today as well.

That's so wild, I literally just came across tangomushi's channel a couple weeks ago & binged every video she's uploaded in a single sitting. She does her thing well.

Tengoku Daimokyo is such a good show for only being 13 episodes. Everyone should give a try, it takes you on a rollercoaster of emotions and suprises. Also it will get REALLY uncomfortable at some point so beware.

Another excellent entry on this series, I appreciate this channel so much, thank you.

Can’t wait to check out all of these!

Tengoku Daimakyo is so damn good i kinda confused that it didn't get the same attention as Bochi or Oshi no Ko. Same thing for Skip and Loafer.

I think the nigh-universal consensus on The Last Wish is that it has absolutely no right being as good as it is, considering _what_ it is. A sequel to a largely forgettable Shrek spinoff, from which it's removed by over a decade of time, that's probably one of the greatest films released last year.

These videos are always so exceptional, thanks for taking the time to make them

What a fun concept of a yt series. The content creator version of gushing about stuff you recently got into to your friends

Super pumped seeing Tango get more love and appreciation! 💖💖💖💖 I’ve been watching her twitch streams for years (sadly not as much recently due to the demands of a big girl job) and she is a dear dear friend of mine. She is a gem and a sweetheart and I adore her.

im so happy that Ghost Trick is finally getting the recognition it deserves!!

22:55 Whoever made John Wick 4 has absolutely played Hotline Miami.

I love these videos because It’s always super fascinating to see the things other people interacted with during the season It’s like a gift exchange but for media

Most heart felt endorsement of SF6 I've seen so far. Love to see it.

Puss in Boots also has one of, if not the best depiction of a panic attack in any children’s film. And as someone who had them for years in grade school and has had them very recently resurface after several years, it brought tears to my eyes that kids are finally being taught to try and understand a problem that is very close to an increasing amount of people’s lives, including children. And that’s just one moment in an absolutely fantastic film.

i love the blurred lines between you, simon miller and the wrestletalk lads... it's crazy how entertained i am about the world you're creating

Your videos and voice are the purest essence of what I feel would be "chill mood". I love it!

It may not seem like your cup of tea but the recently released Oppenheimer is an amazing movie with extremely interesting editing, aswell as intense dialogue scenes that rival deathnote. Highly recommend

Yes, more love for Heavenly Delusion

All the passion in that last segment makes me want a Super Eyepatch Wolf video on Street Fighter

I always enjoy when you put out these videos. And while I would never tell you what to do, it is my hope that you show yourself a bit more kindness rather than the casual way you seem to cut yourself down with ease.

Ghost Trick is amazing, I'm glad it's getting picked up by people. I played it before when I was a kid and I was lucky enough to forget the plot so I got to play it blindly again and damn, as silly as it is I did cry at the end of it. Great game
