Wolfychu roasting anime writing and remaining adorable is a rare sight

The idea of a tsundere has always amused me. Despite the fact they’re jerks, they’re almost always very popular among fans. If they existed in real life, they’d be insufferable to be around.

I remember there was one time Ash’s group found Team Rocket so easily. They were disguised as bushes, and no one fell for it. It was so funny at the time. EVEN ASH NOTICED…

I always thought Team Rocket had bad disguises to add comedy and dramatic irony to the anime. It wasn't a lazy trope, but rather a stylistic choice to make Team Rocket, and by extension Pokemon, more memorable and funny.

"and somehow nobody knows their real identity even if the transformation is just putting on some new clothes" Perry the platypus is a magical girl confirmed

Girl: *drops her glasses* Guy: *gives girl her glasses* Girl: "I want to have ALL your babies!!!"

The reason why antagonists don't just stop magical girl transformations is in universe time dilation. For us, it's this long pretty sequence, for them it's instant

I always imagined a magical girl transformation takes place in a split second. Probably because Winx Club sometimes had characters transform in a cloud of sparkles to not interrupt a scene.

I like to think that the reason the villains don't just attack or stop the magical girl transformation or DBZ-style power-up sequence is because its like an honor system; like they let them transform because that's just what you do and if anyone ever tried to stop them mid transformation all the other villains would freak out and be like "Dude, not cool" lol

4:05 Bro, I freaking HATE those stupid double standard moments! How is it the guy’s fault especially when it’s was the girl who walked in on him changing? EVEN MORE SO when the door was closed and he wasn’t expecting anyone to come into the room? For once, I’d like to see a realistic reaction or have the guy callout the girl for that bs reaction

I love childhood friends tropes and use them myself. But personally, I feel like they should be more than just a character and be utilized to reveal more about the M/C or even develop them. Think about it, M/C has known the character for the longest time and trust them the most. I personally believe the M/C would act in a way or show parts of their character that they normally wouldn’t show anyone else.

I think my least favorite is how much the sexualize school girls. There’s always an “accidental” panty shot, unrealistically short skirts, the locker room scene where the smaller chested girl gropes the big chested girl from behind, etc. meanwhile the boys uniforms are normal af.

I'm surprised that you didn't mention another trope. The "Airheaded protagonist is late for school and run with toast in his/her mouth." trope. You never actually see them eat it, they just run the whole way with it in their mouth, like they were absorbing it.

The fact that Wolfychu and Lavendertowne came out with very similar videos at the same time is insane

Machikado Mazoku deals with long magical girl transformations really well, it shows you the real-time timer of the transformation while we watch the slowed down version of it, so we get to watch the full sequence but it’s only taken about a second

What’s really interesting about Kyo is he starts off pretty hot headed towards Tohru, but he actually learns to control his actions towards her thanks to Shigure. In fact, Fruits Basket not only has one, but two Tsundere’s. The other one being Kagura who’s the more violent type of tsundere

I find it funny that she showed Tokyo Mew Mew at first while talking about how minor changes make them unrecognizable, but Zoe (in my opinion, at least) becomes near unrecognizable yet can still be recognized at the slightest glance.

HELLO! Check out part 2 to this video with the types of anime fans! ❤️ kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aKeilsaVxrrFqKM.html

6:24 The *one time* that I noticed Ash actually realize Team Rocket was doing something was the first episode of the Unova season. You could clearly see he knew they were the ones that tried to nab Pikachu *again.* I had hoped that was a sign he'd actually be more discerning when it came to Team Rocket's disguises, but I was very quickly proven wrong in like Episode 2 or 3.

A trope that's always gnawed at me is the uber dense protag. It falls into the harem trope a lot but it's also present when there's only one love interest. The love interest throws themselves at the protag and they somehow don't notice what literally everybody around them notices. It's so frustrating and spoils so many potentially good love story sub plots.

Multiple things to point out (not necessarily in order though): - For the magical girl transformation, I’m pretty sure it’s because the transformations are quick but are added to please the fan. - I honestly did not like the harem trope so much on a personal note due to most of the time the love interest with good chemistry with the protagonist being not chosen very frequently - The Persona series falls on the beach/hot springs trope too frequently. - The fact that the boys are always to blame for these accidental situations felt slightly sexist in my opinion. (Note Wolfy, none of these are towards you. I’m just voicing my opinions towards these types of tropes. Still love you and your vids so much.) ❤ EDIT: I did not expect this to become so popular.

We need a Wolfychu Anime!! Don't care how much time it takes, it's gonna be the best anime to ever exist!!

One trope that I find kinda annoying is how no matter what happens, it’s always the guy that gets called baka/pervert and get slapped or have things thrown at them, even when it’s the girl that intrudes on his privacy. It’s very rare to see the guy unfazed or defending himself. And it’s even rarer to see the guy calling her baka/pervert. Those inversion moments are always my favorite. It’s always extremely refreshing when you stumble on one Anime that turns this trope around, when you’ve seen the usual version a million times…

My theory for why villains don't stop magical girl transformations comes from an episode of Sailor Moon. Usagi was jumping out of the way of an attack, and transformed mid jump. She didn't appear to travel a consistent distance with the time the transformation took, which means the only reasonable conclusion is the transformation takes place in stopped time or something similar.

I'm also a fan of the childhood friend character. They seem to be the nicest and best fit for the MC. Also I hate seeing them chase the MC for their whole lives only to be ignored for the cold, violent tsundere. Can't a childhood friend get the win for once!

the "unrecognisable because of different clothing/fake moustaches" trope is also present in western cartoons

I don't blame those villains who stare at a magical girl's transformation scene because it is literally so addictive.

The childhood best friend is my favorite romantic troupe right next to enemies to lovers. Also I feel like the reason the villains don’t do anything during a magical transformation is because they are just too in shock by what’s playing out in front of them.

The Harem trope is pretty dull, but I really like the way they used it in Romantic Killer where it’s very meta and makes fun of the trope, but also makes it really interesting. Also helps that it’s sort of a reverse-harem where it’s a VERY non-blank-slate girl with multiple guys falling for her at first due to the “Romantic Thriller” game before something actually happens to justify it instead of a basic dude with like 10 girls falling for him for really no reason.

The show, “Voltron Force” had an episode where they addressed the magical girl transformation (or in this case, Combination) trope. Apparently, the combination sequence really takes 13 seconds to complete in universe and no villain has ever interrupted it until that episode of this American-made sequel series to the original anime.

I assumed the instance of people not recognizing the heroines' faces was an active charm of protection, and their faces just look the same to the audience. It's part of why Usagi had to stare at that guy she hates for a solid five seconds to finally notice the similarity to that guy she has a crush on, just without the rather small domino mask and hat.

I adore a beach episode. What can I say, I like it when the characters get time off from the plot to just interact.

I felt every single example here. You nailed it right on the nose, Wolfy! Especially with the “accidental fan service” trope, glad to know I’m not the only one who notices it’s the guy who always gets blamed (when most of the time it’s not his fault lol)

I'm beginning to wonder if the magical girl transformations aren't in real-time in the anime. What I mean is that all the villain sees is a flash of light forming around the heroes meanwhile the transformation we see is actually some kind of inner space with a distorted flow of time.

Saiki K's departure from the annoyance of the Harem trope, despite being overtly expressed, is as confounding as the concept of the series itself. It's Saiki's brilliantly written character!

i want a realistic childhood friend character. they arent overly mean or nice but they greet the protagonist with "hey dipshit" and then they both exchange an incomprehensible inside joke that is never explained to the audience, likely because it has morphed so badly over the years that they couldn't explain the context if held at gunpoint

5:35 actually in dragon ball super during the tournament of power a character interrupts a transformation (which is a smart move) and was told off by almost everyone that “that’s not okay” and “let’s fight them at their strongest” (even though their universe was on the line). So for most shows I assume it is a manners thing.

5:00 This legitimately happened to me one time when I was at my then girlfriend’s house. She asked me if I wanted anything to eat while we were watching a movie in her living room and I said “No thanks, I’m not hungry.” *loud stomach growl noise* She laughed while I hung my head in embarrassment and sighed before asking her what she had for food.

An anime trope that’s been overused so much is the high school setting. Gaijin Goombah already explained it on one of his videos but there’s been so much anime that take place in high school, it’s not bad I mean I have my favorite anime with high school settings but if you’ve seen anyone online talk about high school, it’s often not pleasant at best or outright traumatic at worst. Take for example Aggretsuko and Uzaki-Chan Wants to Hang Out, the main characters are young adults either in college or in the workplace and those are some of my favorites. It’d just be nice if we got something different more often

I would also like to add the trope of violence against the main male character by various female characters (usually ties in with tsundere and accidental fanservice tropes) that gets played for comedy because girl who hits guy is fun (even if she is strong enough to throw him through a wall) but if you reversed the genders, people would be calling for blood

Wolfychu mocking anime fanservice and making satire scenarios relating to them is the best part of this video! And yeah, it is kind of unfair how the guys always get blamed for accidents.

Man, your art style got better again?! You're always able to improve it in so little time, that's impressive and admirable! Great to see more videos from you! I was missing them! Great work and keep it up!

5:08 Fun Fact: The reason magical girl's aren't attacked while transforming is related to samurai culture. Until around the Kamakura period (1185-1333) samurai warriors rose to power, it was customary for samurai to always state their own names, hometowns, and backgrounds before fighting each other. This is because if you don’t know who beat whom, you cannot receive a reward from your lord. It was customary to know who they were or where they were from before you kill your opponent, as you'd you risk losing your reward even if you win because you cannot prove how important he was. Because of this samurai culture of fighting fair and square, villains wait for heroes in Japanese anime.

I can't stand the "love triangle" because it's actually a love *corner* that the girl gets backed into for no reason other than "she *must* choose *one*"

I think the thing about magical girl transformations is that its strictly an animation thing to give the show more flair, if you were to see it in manga or realistically I think it would be instantaneous. That's just my theory.

The magic girl transformation sequences are just for us. In real time, they're instantaneous.

I always like when a Magical Girl anime gives us the rare view of a transformation outside of the normal sequence, which lets us see what others see. Typically it makes it a quick flash and it's done, letting us know hte transformation we normally see is actually happening in an instant. It makes it easier ot handwave ^_^ Though I also like (maybe even more) when a transformation is stopped by a quick attack or otherwise the villan makes it hard to get into gear. It creates some tension that some shows lack when they get too formulaic

My interpretation of harems is the characters the MC can choose from are often representative of some sort of decision for the MC (not that its original, many such shows share the same themes as you say). Childhood friend could be interpreted as : - returning to one's roots - tradition over change - staying the same - complacency vs. rebellion etc. There's a reason the childhood friend is often not rejected until late in the show. Deciding to change is very difficult for many people so it is seen as relatable.

5:53 You know I believe another japanese show kinda explained how the transformation is included without making the enemy wait (This is live action BTW) Apparently to the enemies or to anyone not a hero, the transformation last for about 0.05 seconds then BOOM they are in their form but the funniest thing is, they’ll replay the transformation…IN SLOW MOTION to show you how the transformation happened in detail! So if you ever see magical girls transform again…think that is the reason! IT WAS SUPER FAST XD

Magical girl transformations and tsundere’s are two tropes I absolutely adore honestly. I know they’re silly, but I understand why they’re popular QwQ

An actually good explanation for the magical girl transformation is shown in an anime called the Demon girl next door, where the magical girls actually transform in like milliseconds and just perform the special cutscene really quickly.

2:09, As someone who loves the friends to lovers trope, it hurts me when they lose all the time too 2:17, OMFG, I HATE it when the tsundere wins too! Literally their violent tendencies are warning signs of an abusive relationship long-term, and the protagonist chooses them anyway because "they're a good person on the inside". Bull. S**T. 4:33, I ALSO hate the fact that the bad boy almost ALWAYS wins in the end. I get it, emotional baggage, but STILL! I wanna see them pick THEMSELVES up instead of bagging a protagonist with a savior complex to just fix everything for them! (I remember seeing Emirichu's version of this vid and I'm actually not too surprised you guys have a lot of the same tastes and criticisms)

At 6:07, can we talk about Miraculous Ladybug characters being blind? 😂

fun fact, this video was posted RIGHT after lavandertowne posted a “worst anime troops” 98% accuracy

3:22 Wolfy: "...especially if they are serious ones..." Also Wolfy: *Displays the beach episode from MHA" Bruh

I'm gonna be honest, i've never seen an anime without at least one beach or hot spring episode

It’s always a great day when she uploads 🎉 And Wolfy, I hope you know how much of a positive impact you have on so many people’s lives. Watching this channel was one of the only things keeping me sane at the height of the pandemic. And keep on being a solo KZfaq animator too, respect for that ❤😊

3:46 Nah imagine if this happened in real life in 2023 💀💀

my favorite take on the magical girl transformation is that it actually happens really fast, we just get to see play out in the time pocket, rather than just the flash of light other's in the anime would

AWW the art is so cute I haven't been here for a while but god I love it

Fun fact: lavender towne uploaded a video on worst anime tropes like (literally) 5 seconds before this

To me, I usually think of the magical girl transformations as happening really quickly and the whole sequence they show is sort of in slow-mo. An example of this could be in Miraculous Ladybug (which I know isn’t an anime but they still have transformations), where the first time a character transforms in the episode it’ll show the whole thing but then if they transform again later on in the episode it’ll just show a flash of glittery light from behind a tree or bathroom stall or something

Hi Wolfychu! I have enjoyed your content since you first started on KZfaq and continue to do so. I love your voice and the material you share with us, but especially the style of your presentation and the artwork. Thank you for bringing us along with you on your KZfaq journey. 🥰

I’m neutral about the harem trope , if it’s executed well ,(ie. Giving everyone good characterisation, and room to grow) then it’s a good trope .

5:10 miraculous ladybug be like:

- Wolfy: “I’m a huge fan of anime!” - Oblivious MC: “That’s cap”

Ooo, I love the Love Triangle one! I often fall for the bad boy troupe as well! Amazing video Wolfychu! Keep up the good work!

Man! It is awesome that you're back! This was so much fun!

5:46 probably a ben 10 thing where the transformation scene is only for us the viewers and in actuality the transformation is instantly

Something I've seen people point out with the harem or love triangle stereotype (which I have adopted) is that it could be plainly solved by being in a polyamorous relationship. As long as everyone involved agrees, that's it, problem solved! Not to mention the "love triangle" is more of a love arrow, as if it was a true love triangle someone would end up being gay/bi/etc

The one trope I hate the most is regards to romance anime where the protag will start off like normal like starts to like a girl that they talk to and by the time episode 11 comes around about 2 to 5 times there would be moments of them almost about to kiss and or confess their feelings BUT it's always stopped by either a Phone call, Friend, Someone entering the room and or fireworks going off... It's always amusing how there is so much content up to episode 12 when the character is about to and does confess but there is only 5 minutes left of them after they are a couple and then the season ends without anything happening afterwards. My other trope I really hate is personality tied to their hair colors... it can be meh at times as after a few animes you start to know what type of characters will be like just be seeing their hair.. why can't Orange or red hair be a calm character why does a white hair character have to be quite and reserved... why does the pink hair character have to be an air head... why does blue hair, black or brown hair have to be the color of the dense protag of the story.. like for real mix it up Japanese studios... My final trope I hate is when you have a Harem or love triangle but even by the 12th episode the protag never picks any girl and the series just ends leaving me feel empty..

Omg your art style 💖💖 keep up the good work wolfychu!!

2:07 this is osana from yandere simulator

The one with the transformations is actually explainable. When they transform, it's a split second or faster for the people in the anime but for us it's like 5 to 10 seconds. It's like Dragon Ball where they're moving at the speed of light but it's slowed down for us so we can see it.

Fun fact about nobody noticing that a character is a different person because they've changed clothes: It's not actually that far-fetched. Just for fun, after the film "Batman vs. Superman" came out, Henry Cavill (Superman in the film) went to Times square and stood around to see if anyone would notice him. Nobody recognised him, even though he was standing in front of a huge billboard advertising the film and even wearing a T-shirt with the Superman logo on it. Two people approached him, and they just asked for directions.

Wolfy I just want to say something. I love this new way of drawing yourfelf, it's so good!

4:00 There is this thing called knocking 😭💅🏻

I've been watching your videos for 5 years. You really inspired me to start animating and if I hadn't watched your videos my channel probably would not exist. You also inspired me to start drawing realistic art! Your an amazing and talented artist and you will forever be my favorite KZfaqr!

2:34, Smg3 be like that, genuinely he is. You probably know that from being in Smg4, voicing the protagonist in the arc where he fist says it.

My favourite category of anime is sometimes Soccer/football category but mostly animes who got inspired by real life events from the past. I developed further thanks to Blue Lock, which made me look back and realized how bad or weak my playstyle was. To this day, I feel like a egoist who is prepared to turn someones' dreams into their nightmares.

Honestly, the way most writers and creators explain why nobody stops the transformations is we are seeing a cinematic form of the transformation, when in world it's a quick flash of whatever color light, and suddenly they change. Super sentai/power rangers is a big example, though at least in power rangers and super sentai there's been a couple times the monster/villain stopped a transformation from occurring in one way or another, but only once per series/season

1:22 As she described the harem's inability to notice when multiple girls like him, I was laying down in that position. Hand on the back of my head while also wearing a white hoodie. My brain said "wait... is this me? NAH"

Funny thing about the magical transformation. There was a scientist or whoever on some Japanese show that broke it down and came to a rather funny conclusion-- the girls are transforming so fast (judging by the light show they're giving off and in-universe time progression) that if anyone tried to stop them mid-transformation THEY'D BE FUGGIN OBLITERATED.

Wow your art got so much better!! You've progressed so much, I'm so proud!

I LOVE THIS ART SO MUCH 0:26

I love how School Days took the very first trope you said and just flip it on its head in the end with death, murder and sociopathy... finally someone thought of doing something different than the usual romantic drama 🤣📱☠️

the "Tsund, Tsundere" Gave me Vietnam flashbacks- The nostalgia was real!

I’m actually shocked that the childhood best friend rarely gets picked

3:35 watermelon? … Melony Easter egg? 🤔🤔

Your animations and art styles have gotten so much more detailed it looks freaking clean.😨🌸🔥

Tsunderes that are unnecessarily violent towards the one they like really grinds my gears and when a mc doesn’t choose the tsundere i have mad respect for that mc

Gosh it’s good to be here again, i just wanted to check on this channel after a while of not watching it. I was a huge fan 2017-2019 and i would watch your videos all day, everyday. I know you won’t reply but i hope everything is good and i’m glad i checked upon this channel as you were once a big inspiration for me and a huge amount of joy! Thank you for bringing me happiness once before and your animations still look great!

I actually saw a mean once that probably explains why they don't stop the transformation. They kind of see what the audience is seeing but kind of in its own little space and they're just like "what the Kentucky fried chicken is that?"

I love this so much!!!! Your art has improved a lot wolfychu, keep up the great work! ❤️

I think it's always annoying how the main character that has several times been shown to be incredibly overpowered gets beat up by some girl because she's mad or the main character gets really scared it's fine for little jokes but I've seen so many shows where it's so overworked

5:59 hey wolfy there’s an anime when a character transform looks completely different the anime is called List of Hyperdimension Neptunia recommend watching if u wanna see completely different people when they transform

About the magical girl transformation one: One time, an geek who liked anime got bored and decided to check the science behind the transformation sequences. It turns out that the beam of light surrounding the characters while they transformed had to be strong enough to anihilate literally anything inside of it for it to lift the magical girls the way it looked. I'll see if I can find the post for you.

2:17 was that supposed to be a callback to your to "my girl a tsundere" video years ago?

I think villains use magical girl transformations as their union scheduled smoke break.

Wolfychu could threaten everyone's families and still be adorable, prove me wrong
