So I have finished High Guardian Spice. But there is one final piece to this: watching other people's takes. Honestly my least favorite part. I don't like considering the opinions of others.Permalink On twitter.com

Will probably not mention all of the vids I watch by name, because I'm not really interested in starting beef. However I will say I'm starting with Rev Says Desu, because that hopefully means I've got nowhere else to go but upPermalink On twitter.com
-
holy shit dude why did you make like 10 of these?? I did TWO Shield Hero things and I can't help but think I was a little indulgentPermalink On twitter.com
-
why are they all so... sexual. God Okay I'm picking this onePermalink On twitter.com
-
he says he likes it I'm fucking losing my mindPermalink On twitter.com
-
I'm not really sure if I made my point here clear. It's less about live refuting bad takes but trying to understand what some of the toxic reception to the show was and how it lines up with what actually happensPermalink On twitter.com
-
But he doesn't have opinions he's just dunking, so I may have to pick a more useful video. And not only is he dunking he's noticing a lot of the stuff I did. But when I watched I didn't force myself to twist every moment into a negativePermalink On twitter.com
-
there is not a more useful video because Rev's content is empty. He just says words and gets views. Respect for the bag I guess. I want *takes* not just grievance ramblingPermalink On twitter.com
-
We're switching to Lost Pause. Who's cool because his disaster takes were really useful for me when I wrote the Interspecies Reviewers thing?Permalink On twitter.com
-
Ah yes these are garbage takes. For example, he says HGS isn't an anime because the characters have cheeks, which of course were invented by Steven UniversePermalink On twitter.com
-
my least favorite kind of person is "people who have exponentially more subscribers than be but do not know how to media analysis or make an argument"Permalink On twitter.com
-
He complains that it doesn't make sense Sage and Rosemary don't have actual seats on their ride to school, but this is exposition. They come from a poor, rural town and are moving to a big city. It's like, half the characterization of the beginningPermalink On twitter.com
-
he's trying to argue it defends slavery, actually. which, you know, for someone who like Shield Hero, this is richPermalink On twitter.com
-
So what's funny to me is that I remarked that world building in HGS episode 1 is pretty "show don't tell". It's basically a bunch of different scenes to establish where the hell we are. But apparently some people watched this and none of that information made it throughPermalink On twitter.com
-
Like, to complain the characters took two coaches and a train to school when it's so obviously because they are poor and from a place where more convenient transportaiton isn't feasible is just... and to spend 5 minutes on this one point I just...Permalink On twitter.com
-
He says the diversity doesn't bother him but he points out every lesbian in the show without commentary, as if it's a plot hole to have lesbiansPermalink On twitter.com
-
brb I'm making yogurt. also my brain hurtsPermalink On twitter.com
-
The connecting tissue between this one and Rev's is it is obvious when you watch something... to find things wrong with it. I kind of doubt any of these points are really useful or insightful to the audience. They're just here to hear someone complainPermalink On twitter.com
-
He's finding plot holes in a dream sequence. He's complaining a *dream sequence* doesn't make any sense. And in editing he could've just cut this part like "oh it was a dream that's why it doesn't make sense" but he doesn'tPermalink On twitter.com
-
there's nothing else useful here. I am switching videos. I don't know this person so I won't refer to them by namePermalink On twitter.com
-
This video attempts to explain HGS backlash as something other than a backlash to minority creates existing and saying that's what they were. Let's see what he has to sayPermalink On twitter.com
-
he didn't say anything. he just said he didn't want to get political. God damn. what do I gotta do to get a reactionary to give me a fucking opinion, christPermalink On twitter.com
-
Okay this is actually fairly useful. So I need to take into the account the totally not sexist, not homophobic, not transphobic reasons people harassed everyone who made HGS off the internet for three years, according to these peoplePermalink On twitter.com
-
- Crunchyroll should be spending money on "the anime industry" and not their own projects -> not really - Crunchyroll doesn't pay their translators -> true but that has nothing to do with HGS - Crunchyroll is an asshole to people who pirate -> no shit, it's how they make moneyPermalink On twitter.com
-
"If Crunchyroll didn't make this no one would've cared" [citation needed]Permalink On twitter.com
-
This is the worst kind of video. It feels like he made it out of obligation. He doesn't hate the show, but he doesn't care enough about it to like it. He recognizes it's not for him. He says he's going to criticize it anyway but on what basis? More empty contentPermalink On twitter.com
-
If HGS ended up like that for me I just wouldn't write the video because it wouldn't be worth it. But so many people on YouTube just make stuff because views. It's an insane concept to mePermalink On twitter.com
-
This is obnoxious. Because despite not actually having anything interesting to say he really wants me to know he's smarter than me. And I'm too conceited for that. So we're skippingPermalink On twitter.com
-
My video is going to be the best High Guardian Spice video on YouTube... by defaultPermalink On twitter.com
-
So I've got a few more options. I think I'll start Ygg Studio's take and head to bed. Because Trixie I know will actually do media analysis, even if I probably won't agree with her. And that might be actually usefulPermalink On twitter.com
-
She claims her 2018 video Dear Crunchyroll: Stop, was a significant reason why the show got delayed which... holy shit??? that's information I will pin and processPermalink On twitter.com
-
she calls out people using HGS for political ends. yes its me. all my ends are political ends mwahahaha but more specifically, analyzing a show politically is a valid and good thing to doPermalink On twitter.com
-
Eyy she kinda liked itPermalink On twitter.com
-
I'm not sure what to do with this. I thought this would be negative so. HmPermalink On twitter.com
-
We're gonna skip this, not because it's a bad video, but because it's actually more or less things I've worked out myselfPermalink On twitter.com
-
While we're at it, I have another take from a trans person, and then probably another negative take? And that should be goodPermalink On twitter.com
-
I like how like for Amerilis is universalOn twitter.com
-
Even people who hated this show are like "Amerilis was great though"Permalink On twitter.com
-
Overall he liked the trans and gay characters when they were actually going through things, and didn't like them when they were just kind of "the gay couple" or "the trans teacher", if I understand correctly. Which is fairPermalink On twitter.com
-
He also likes Amerilis (everyone likes Amerilis). But he did not vibe with the main cast and found a lot of the technical issues towards the beginning to be a turn off. Also fairPermalink On twitter.com
-
Last vid for tonight is a kind of longish video essayPermalink On twitter.com
-
he thinks it gets worse towards the end which is an interesting take. I don't think anyone I've watched tonight has thought this. I for sure don'tPermalink On twitter.com
-
I am seriously the only person on the planet who picked up the Rosemary/ADHD thingPermalink On twitter.com
-
so many people latched on to the fucking buses they road to school they are not that importantPermalink On twitter.com
-
This person wanted more magic everywhere. He's trying to, like, "fix" the show as he goes on, but its irrespective of the character work the show wants to do. He's entirely focused on making the world building betterPermalink On twitter.com
-
They're not all bad suggestions but it's like hyperfocused on making each individual scene better. Where, if you want to make this kind of critique you actually need to start big picture, and make changes to make the big picture workPermalink On twitter.com
-
He also doesn't really understand ThymePermalink On twitter.com
-
I've gotta go to sleep. The point was to just figure out what people are saying about this show? The majority is nitpicks focused on episode one, empty content designed to just farm views and let people complain in the commentsPermalink On twitter.com
-
There are a few more high quality critiques, that actually try and explain like how the show made them feel or where they thought things worked or not. There's also a lot of people who don't like Crunchyroll and take their anger out on this showPermalink On twitter.com
-
I also don't like CR. I'm a fucking communist okay. If you want to talk about license monopolies in the entertainment industry or capitalists mistreating their employees I'm the first one to do so. But that's irrespective of High Guardian SpicePermalink On twitter.com
-
The money you gave to CR never went to overseas animators anyway. It goes to license fees, which are collected by Japanese multimedia conglomerates. CR making one (1) gay kids cartoon is not starving poor Tomosuke overseas and his in-betweening deadlines lmaoPermalink On twitter.com
