Funny / Gigguk

Anime in a Nutshell

Fall 2017

• As he talks about A Sister's All You Need, he points out that there's no way it could ever beat Eromanga Sensei's lows. Then within the first few minutes, he's treated to a scene of a guy making out with his little sister, who then wipes the spit off his mouth with a pair of her used panties. Which he proceeds to chew on and swallow while commenting on how good they taste. It then cuts to live action where Gigguk stares at the TV in silent, abject horror. He then stands up, goes outside, then goes inside again to to get a beer, eats some food, goes on a drive, takes a Shower of Angst, fails to get any sleep, gets shouted at by his worried girlfriend, who begs him to tell her what is wrong with him, as he sits unresponsively and eats breakfast, ending with him sitting down in front of his computer, sighing deeply before typing out a tweet that reads "Anime was a Mistake and so was I". All to the melancholy tones of "the Moonlight Sonata" and with a Thousand-Yard Stare on his face.
• "Hey, you wanna hear the most annoying sound in the world?" (cue montage of Asta's screams)

Winter 2018

• Gigguk looks at one of the fanservice scenes in Killing Bites, then he goes into his Porn Stash, which consists of six folders: "Vanilla Fap", "Slightly Questionable Fap", "Questionable Fap", "Dude this was a bad idea", "YOU BETTER BE TOO WASTED TO REMEMBER", and "delet this". After a moment of consideration, he shrugs and places the fanservice scene in "Slightly Questionable Fap".
• The last skit of the video features Gigguk hyping up something as the next step for humanity in the style of a tech convention demonstration only to reveal that it's from a company called THOTgineering and it's the mecha control scheme from DARLING in the FRANXX. He breaks down laughing halfway through describing it.
  We at THOTgineering are proud to present Butt Control, a revolutionary control system where you can pilot a mech by grabbing a girl's... butt... (Wheezing laughter)

Fall 2018

• After the intro, the first show Gigguk takes a closer look at is My Sister, My Writer, yet another light novel adaptation with Brother–Sister Incest fanservice. His despair over this is palpable.
  (deep sigh) Why? Why do you keep doing this, Japan? Is this what you think we want? Is this what you think we deserve? Is it because we said we like Eromanga Sensei? Is it our fault? (starts crying) IS IT MY FAULT?!! (sobs) OH GOD, WHAT HAVE I DONE!?!
  • When one of the characters claims that she is 20 years old, despite looking suspiciously like a pre-teen girl, Gigguk demands to see some ID. Cut to live-action where Gigguk sits with a piece of folded printer paper with "My ID" crudely written in crayon on it. He opens up the paper to see a picture of the girl and more crude crayon text that claims "I am 20". He studies the piece of paper intensely for a moment and then looks up and declares "I see nothing wrong with that."
• When looking at Conception, Gigguk wonders how the Isekai genre is still as omnipresent as it is.
  Gigguk: I swear at this point people are just going to anime companies with random words they picked out of a hat, like:
  Writer: "Pregnancy"... in another world!
  Anime Studio Exec.: I like it!
  Writer: (befuddled) Wait... You-you serious?
  • Gigguk then wonders what the point of Conception even is.
    I'm not quite sure who deserves to be fired more: The person who made this concept, or the person who approved of this concept. Just tell me what the point of this anime is, (with rising dramatic music in the background) because, you know, IF YOU WANTED TO MAKE A HENTAI, JUST MAKE A FUCKING HENTAI! THAT IS OBVIOUSLY WHAT YOU WANTED THIS TO BE! (music cuts out) And, you know, I'd probably actually watch it if that was the case...
• The section on JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind.
  Woman: Did you just make a JoJo reference?
  Giorno: Wait. Did you just make a JoJo reference?
  Luca: No! You made a JoJo reference.
  Koichi: Holy shit! There are so many JoJo references!
  Jotaro: Can you stop. Making. JoJo references?
  Bruno: We are the JoJo reference!
  Giorno: FFFFUUUUUU—

Spring 2019

• Gigguk notes that the line between Anime and Hentai is slowly blurring and begins to wonder what Hentai tags you could add to an Anime... then he notices the Ugly Bastard tag
  ”I swear to god anime, you better not do it, I don’t need this shit in my anime right now. Nobody asked to see a bunch of ugly, sweaty ogres bang a bunch of innocent lolis but you keep doing it anyway. Don’t do it, don’t Fucking do it. If I see one more big fat FUCKING CHUNGUS I’m gonna LEAVE, don’t DO IT!
• His overjoyed reaction at the appearance of a new season of Fruits Basket takes a turn for the very awkward as he starts referring to the nostalgia burst as "an erection straight to my childhood".
  "I'm not crying! These are just the precum of my soul!"
• His reaction to Reo and Mabu's very... sensual dance
  [very long Beat]
  A completely deadpan Gigguk: "I'm gay now"

Summer 2019

• After years of getting badgered by fans on social media, it looks like Gigguk finally gives in and talks about Symphogear... only to immediately get distracted by the season's infamous MILF.
• Of course, this can't be a Gigguk video without him dropping a pearl of wisdom.
  "As my man Kakyoin likes to say, the right "ara ara" makes the D go ORAORAORAORAORAORAORA-
• Vinland Saga has amazing sound design: if you listen very carefully during quiet scenes, you can hear the salty tears of Berserk and Kingdom fans.
  *sob* WHY? WHY DID THEY MAKE IT GOOD?

Anime in 2019

• The background music for the "trash" section is "Galactic Mermaid" from Carole & Tuesday, a.k.a. the "fucking bullshit" song.
  • And within said "trash" section...
  — Gigguk: Let's see what Magical Girls were up to this year.
  — War Nurse Kurumi: Magical Spanking!
  — Gigguk: Let's forget what magical girls were up to this year.

Winter 2020

• The entire over-the-top rant screamed in a rage about how Isekai Quartet is still called that even though there are five shows in it now.
• Apparently, Darwin's Game is actually about a bunch of crazies trying to get people to play Raid: Shadow Legends. Gratuitous, extremely invasive plugs of Raid quickly become the video's running gag. They're not even sponsoring it, mind you.
• Nekopara might worry you at first with how their cute Cat Girls are mere months old, but Gigguk is here to reassure you: those should be converted in cat years! He promptly runs the math and finds out the girl is actually... 11. Enters a laughing duck with FBI stamped on it.
• But hey, if the mostly harmless and cutesy Nekopara anime is the most degenerate thing this season, maybe anime has turned over a new leaf for this decade! Cue Duel of the Fates, hellfire, and maniacal laughter as Interspecies Reviewers slowly enters the frame...
  Gigguk: That's right. We've finally done it. We can no longer tell the difference between anime and hentai. *thunderous applause*

Winter 2022

• Gigguk had quite a lot to unpack on his take on My Dress-Up Darling:
  • He immediately described the series as Horimiya but with boobs, or the more aptly termed "HorniMiya"
  • Then, after declaring Marin Kitagawa as best girl (by swiping away pictures of other female leads introduced that season,) he addressed the memes about her looking and acting a lot like his fiancee, Sydney. By listing every aspect of Marin that he likes all while denying that those same traits are present in Sydney.

Spring 2022

• The Dance Dance Danseur segment closes with the protagonist being instructed to stretch out tall, and it keeps going and going, stretching his neck into the stratosphere and beyond.
• When comparing Aharen-san wa Hakarenai to Komi Can't Communicate he classifies both characters as "professional mouth-breathers". He also wonders why the series isn't called A Silent Voice and double-takes.
• He continues the gag by looking at Love After World Domination and wondering why it's not called Love is War, and then looks at the premise of Heroines Run the Show and compares it to GeeXPlus.
• Shachiku-san and the Little Baby Ghost is summarized as The Helpful Fox Senko-san: Dead Baby Edition.
• He brings up the expectation that Shikimori's Not Just a Cutie would replace My Dress-Up Darling for "best girl of the season" and confidently holds his ground... then Anya shows up and he quickly changes his tone.
• He misreads A Couple of Cuckoos as "A Couple of CUCKS?!" As much as it resembles Nisekoi Meets Domestic Girlfriend, he feels it's missing a little something... and with the element of Not Blood Related siblings, in his eyes "it's going to be anime of the year".

Summer 2022

• After seeing the anime adaptation of Call of the Night he's finally excited to legitimately be the elitist fan "who read the manga first".
• The disappointment at the flat animation of The Lucifer and Biscuit Hammer is compared to one's favorite doujin being animated by studio Queen Bee (which is infamous for its lazy animations).
• Given that My Isekai Life uses a very cliche premise, he argues "find me someone who thinks that this is a unique hook and I'll find you a guy who gets excited over yet another isekai." It immediately cuts to him getting excited over the much-awaited sequel to The Devil is a Part-Timer!.
• After excitedly going over the other sequels of the season, he gets to Rent-A-Girlfriend season 2 and starts corpsing. He describes Kazuya as a health hazard because the elderly he spends time near would "be in danger of dying of cringe".
• With RWBY getting an anime adaptation he's truly excited for a re-animated version of... Ruby scarfing down cookies. It doesn't happen and he rates it 1/10.
• As he outlines the magic premise of Vermeil in Gold, he realizes that it's Fate but really horny— Fate but with a buxom flirtatous character— Fate but the viewers are raging degenerates— just Fate!
• After going over Harem in the Labyrinth of Another World which unapologetically uses a Hero's Slave Harem, he swears this is a one-off incident... and then cuts to Black Summoner where the protagonist is excited about the prospect of getting a slave girl.

Best of Anime 2022

• His Running Gag throughout the video, due to the recurring theme on most of the releases he mentioned: "Gay girls, innit?"
• The start of the list is Birdie Wing, kicking things off with the memetic Mondegreen from the catchy OP.
  PENIS LIFE! PENIS LIFE! (song title "Venus Line" pops up) "Eh, close enough."
• Garnt's description of Ya Boy Kongming! is initially heartwarming, as he talks about the satisfaction of watching Eiko get closer to achieving her dreams... at which point he has a realization.
  DID I JUST GET TRICKED INTO WATCHING AN IDOL ANIME?!
• His very brief description of My Dress-Up Darling at No. 14:
  Gigguk: Marin is still the Best Girl of 2022. It's not because she reminds me of my wife.
  (cue voiceover on a clip of Marin's first appearance in Episode 1)
  Sydney: HEY GUYS~! It's your girl~!

Winter 2023

• The Reincarnation of the Strongest Exorcist in Another World ticks so many isekai trope boxes that he swears that it's AI-generated. It seems to be missing a little something... and with the mention of slavery, he wraps up his checklist and breaks down a little over how common slavery is depicted in isekai.
• When talking about The Angel Next Door Spoils Me Rotten he eventually starts gushing over the relationship but also contradicts himself by saying that no guy would ever want that. He then ends that review by revealing that he's been appeasing his wife Sydney.
• He summarizes the premise of ONIMAI: I'm Now Your Sister! as "a Discord mod turning into his profile picture."
• Since this season has so much isekai, he's forced to be picky, and decides to drum up The Magical Revolution of the Reincarnated Princess. What makes this show stand out among all its peers? Gay girls, innit?

Best of Anime 2023

• Gigguk flashes back to what he's been doing ten years ago when he started the yearly anime review series and pulls up a clip of him talking about Hayao Miyazaki finishing The Wind Rises and announcing his retirement. Cut to The Boy and the Heron, another of his animated films dated 2023.
• For how overdone the zombie genre was back in the 2010s, Gigguk is pleased that Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead provides a fresh new take on the genre, ten years later.
  "Zom 100 tells the sad story... of [the overworked] MAPPA employees."
• On The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, Really Love You, he describes Rentarou as basically the best boyfriend you will never measure up to despite his appearances.
  Gigguk: He may look like the most unthreatening guy possible, but watch him be like, "don't worry, I come in peace. Hi, what's your name?"
  Hakari: Peace.
  *Beat*
• His excitement for the next adaptation of 100 Girlfriends quickly gives way to dread when presented with the notion of animating the infamous Wall of Text double-page where Rentarou rattles off everything he loves about his many girlfriends, complete with Dark Souls boss music.
• His entry on Oshi no Ko has a couple of lengthy explanations, and he slips in some driving game footage at the bottom, implying that his audience needs that to not get bored.
• On the Attack on Titan finale, he recognizes the fanbase is split into two camps: those who love the ending, and those who hate it. Between the two, though, they share one notion: "Eren is a bird!"
• He's more than happy to mark Attack on Titan as a completed story, only to then be filled with disbelief as he's informed that there will be a new chapter in April 2024.
• Before he goes into The Apothecary Diaries he acknowledges how China has tried its hand at getting into the anime market, but the audience is disinterested in Chinese cartoons. Cue The Apothecary Diaries, which has a setting closely resembling Imperial China, but written and produced by Japanese people, and that gets engagement.

Winter 2024

Attack on Titan in 9 minutes:

• This classic line:
  Erwin: So Eren, remember this key which opens your basement which is going to be a huge plot point now? You mind telling us whats in it?
  Eren: Yeah I remember, my dad told me before.
  Young!Eren: Hey dad, whats in our basement.
  Grisha: Oh sure thing son. It's called, go read the fucking manga.
  Levi: Goddamn it.
  Erwin: Every bloody time.
• Eren's trial has a lot of great moments:
  Zachary: Alright in the trial of whether or not we should kill Eren Jeager will both sides please state their arguments.
  Nile Dok: Kill him.
  Erwin: Don't fuckin' kill him. Please.
  Zachary: Compelling arguments! How does the Wall Religion view this?
  Pastor Nik: As a follower of the Wall, it is our belief that any foreign object could pose a great threat to us, as foretold long ago by our founder and supreme prophet, Lord Trump.
• Much like in canon Levi starts kicking the crap out of Eren to prove he can be handled. Unlike in canon Eren starts getting into it to Levi, and everyone else's increasing discomfort.
  Zachary: Is this really how the Fuijoshis saw this scene?
• Levi summing up his Squad aptly as Dead one, dead two, dead three, and Petra. Petra them points out that she is the only one anyone cares about because she's a cute girl.
• The show summing up the Female Titan arc:
  Eren: Wait how long are we going to be riding on these horses?
  Levi: Oh about five episodes or so.
  Eren: WHAT! How have we gone from years passing in a single episode, to spending half an arc on a fucking horse?!? What is this arc even about ?
  Armin: That Titan's got a nice ass.
• How does Erwin respond to his plans doing more harm than good?
  Erwin: Just another day for the Survey Corps!
  <cue laugh track and Seinfeld theme>
  Erwin Heheheheheheheheh...
• This Exchange when the 104th Trainee Corps recruits are introducing themselves
  Marco: I'm going to be alive!
  [Beat]
  Gigguk's Voiceover: Too Soon
  

No Game No Life in 7 Minutes:

• When the characters reference JoJo's Bizarre Adventure in-universe, no one gets it because they've never heard of it. It's double subverted when Stephanie appears to get it, but then asks "was that a motherfucking Persona reference?"
• "LOLI FIGHT!" Complete with the techno theme tune from Mortal Kombat: The Movie.
• At the end, when a coin flip lands on its edge, the villain has a Freak Out and just leaves.
  (Coin lands on its edge) Oh, fuck off! No! No! You can fuck right off! This... I'm done! I'm done! I'm done! (door slams closed)

K-On!:

• The very first line of the review: "K-On! follows four girls who form a band and struggles towards to follow their dream of playing the music they love..." *cut to various scenes where the characters are shown just eating cakes and tea, but no practicing* "...WHERE THE FUCK IS THE MUSIC?"
• On the main cast:
  Gigguk: The girls consist of your usual stereotypes that are found scattered across the moe genre: including the shy one [Mio], the hyper one [Ritsu], the posh one [Tsumugi], the pedophile bait [Azusa], aaaaand retard [Yui].
  Klaus: Hold on Gik, I got good names too. There's the serious one who is also a fraidy cat [Mio], the thickheaded and energetic one [Ritsu], a quiet girl who just happens to be rich [Tsumugi], and... Retard [Yui].

Fate/Zero:

• He describes how the fights are like, but then he gets tired and shows us a typical Fate/Zero fight "in a nutshell." What's funnier is that he dubs over the voices, with voice clips from Team Fortress 2.
  Rider: (with the Heavy's voice) LOOK AT ME!! LOOK AT ME!! I AM HERO!!
  Archer: (with the Scout's voice; to Rider) Hey overalls. You suck.
  Saber: (with The Sniper's voice) God save the Queen!
  Lancer: (with the Spy's voice; to Saber) Good Lord! You fight like a woman!
  Saber: You big-eared wanker!
  Berserker: (with the Pyro's voice) *muffled*!
  Archer: (explosion) BANG! (to Kiritsugu) Here's a schematic for ya: MY ASS!!
  Rider: AHHBWABWABWABWABWABWA! AHHHHBWABWABWABWABWABWABWABWABWA!!!
  Kiritsugu: (with the Soldier's voice) That was an amazing killing-spree... (pulls scope from his eye) ...BY THE OTHER TEEEEAM!!
  Rider: (sounding like the Demoman; music stops) I'm drunk... (music dramatically closes)

RWBY

• The whole intro.
  From Rooster Teeth, the company that gave us:

  people pissing about in Halo, that somehow became ultra successful
  And Monty Oum, the guy that gave us:

  sexy girls fighting one-on-one,
  sexy girls fighting three-on-three,
  sexy girls fighting in a battle royale,
  and finally, Samus versus Master Chief! …who both turned out to be sexy girls fighting
  They give you: R-B-W-Y or is it R-W-B-Y I can never remember the right order — the series that promises: Sexy! Girls! Fighting! Now! Color-coded! Yeah that pretty much sums up my initial reaction to R-W… R-B-W… R… Mighty Morphing Mahou Shoujos.

Eromanga Sensei: A Modern Masterpiece

• "I'M GOIN' TO JAAIIIL!"
• Gigguk reviews Eromanga Sensei as a piece of high art, declaring it a modern masterpiece... in trash. He concludes that Eromanga Sensei is making a powerful statement:
  Anime is trash...and so am I!

If Anime Studios Were People

• The entire video
• The various studios try to come up with new ideas for a show. Sunrise, of course, suggests making a new Gundam.
  Madhouse: Oh for god’s sake, we’ve been over this, Sunrise. You can’t use Gundam to solve everything!
  Sunrise: What about [Beat] Giant Robots?
  Madhouse: Or Giant Robots.
  Sunrise: What if... we made a show about a machine... a big machine! That looked like humans, but humans can actually pilot it!
  Madhouse: That’s still just Giant Robot- ohh-okay, you know what? No more Giant Robots, are we clear on that everyone?
• Madhouse generally acting as the Only Sane Man of the industry.
• A-1 Pictures shows up with a bag full of Sword Art Online Money. His suggestion is that, if they keep making anime, they’ll come up with something.
• Gainax is a grumpy old man losing his hearing, and Studio TRIGGER is his rebellious teenage son.
  • Apparently Trigger, MAPPA, and Wit went out drinking, but Wit ended up ditching them to work on Attack on Titan Season 2.
• ufotable is married to Type-Moon, who is an overworked mom taking care of the kids. And he’s apparently cheating on her with Bandai Namco.
  Type-Moon: Who the FUCK is Tales of Zestiria!?

DARLING in the FRANXX in 10 Minutes

• The entire video compresses DARLING in the FranXX's Double Entendre laden setting and makes it into single entendres with Zero Two flat out asking if Hiro wants to "ride her" at one point.
  Zero Two: Hey, you. Want to help me bang this robot?
  Hiro: You mean pilot this robot?
  Zero Two: I know what I said.
  • Hiro's also dense as a brick and only gets what she means after the series is over.
    Zero Two: Did you enjoy riding me til the end, Darling?
    Hiro: I sure did, Zero Two. Thank you. For showing me something so beautiful... (Fade to white) Wait a minute... IT WAS A SEX METAPHOR THIS ENTIRE TIME!
  • Even better: when they get in Strelizia, he starts "riding" her, making fighter jet sounds, and gets really into it. Zero Two was not hoping for that.
  • The whole premise of the piloting system, actually.
    Goro: So no one besides me thinks this control scheme is a bit weird.
    Ichigo: Why would anything about this be weird? Now spank me hard and I'll shout out "Daddy" to get the engine started.
• Dr. Franxx's pseudoscientific explanation as to why the FranXX's piloting system resembles two people having anal sex doesn't give the people asking him an answer, so when they repeat the question, his only answer is "Yes."
• The explanation of why everything in the series is so disjointed and makes no sense? Because Trigger! The only response anyone has to Hiro saying that makes sense is "No it doesn't."
• Goro finally flips his lid at all the absurdity around him near the end, acting as an excellent Audience Surrogate.
  Goro: No. No. It doesn't. Make. Sense! We are floating through space, fighting aliens, with a giant fuckin' robot unicorn waifu! How did we get here? How? Are none of you remotely concerned by the absurdities of these past few days? IS NO ONE GONNA ACKNOWLEDGE THIS?
  (everyone proceeds to ignore him and continue their cliche friendly anime banter)
  Goro: Stop! Stop! Don't ignore me! Why are you laughing? This isn't funny! Stop laughing! Stop! Turn that fucking happy music off! Where the hell is Dr. Franxx to explain everything!?
  (cut to said doctor about to die)
  Dr. Franxx: (laughing hysterically) I DO NOT UNDERSTAND ANYTHING AT ALL!
  • And then there's his reaction to everyone else's combination Clap Your Hands If You Believe and The Power of Friendship cop-out for the ending.
    Goro: FRIENDSHIP!? THESE ROBOTS RUN ON DOGGY-STYLE! IS THIS IT? IS THIS REALLY HOW WE'RE GONNA END IT? THE PLOT HOLES IN THIS STORY ARE SO FUCKIN' LARGE I DON'T KNOW IF WE'RE IN SPACE OR THE GODDAMN WRITERS ROOM! DID I SIT THROUGH 24 EPISODES FOR THIS!? AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-
  • And what finally gets him to calm down?
    Ichigo: Now that Hiro's gone I can finally be with you!
    Goro: Alright, I guess it wasn't that bad.

Trying To Understand The Fate Series

• Just the entire video displaying how INSANE the Kudzu Plot of the Fate Series has gotten over the years with its numerous sequels, prequels, side-stories, and spin-offs. When asked how a fan should start reading the series, Fate Fandom Gigguk asks if Gigguk wants the long version, or the short version. Gigguk chooses the short version.
  Fate Fandom Gigguk: So in the beginning, there was Fate/stay night. which is a visual novel with three different routes: Fate, Unlimited Blade Works, and Heaven's Feel. These need to be played out in that EXACT order. The Fate route has been adapted once by Studio DEEN in 2006 as an anime series, Unlimited Blade Works has been adapted twice, once by Studio DEEN as a movie, once by ufotable as a full series, while ALSO adapting Heaven's Feel, but only as a trilogy of movies, only one of which is out at the moment.
  Gigguk: I thought you were going to give me the short version.
  Fate Fandom Gigguk: (dramtically zooming in on his face) This is the short version.
• Fate Fandom Gigguk explains that, ultimately, the best introduction to the series is just reading the original visual novel:
  Gigguk: Alright. How long does that take?
  Fate Fandom Gigguk: (with gusto) Around a 100 hours!
  Gigguk: That's a pretty big commitment...
  Fate Fandom Gigguk: Just read the visual novel!
  Gigguk: But I don't have a 100 hours!
  Fate Fandom Gigguk: Read the visual novel!
  Gigguk: Can't I just—?
  Fate Fandom Gigguk: (dramatic close-up on his face as he slams the desk in frustration) READ THE FUCKING VISUAL NOVEL!
  (beat as a startled Gigguk stares back at him)
  Fate Fandom Gigguk: (cheerfully) ...Or not! I can never agree with myself anyway.
• We get to Fate/kaleid liner PRISMA☆ILLYA:
  Fate Fandom Gigguk: And of course there's Fate/kaleid liner PRISMA☆ILLYA which is a Magical Girl spinoff of the original Fate/stay night.
  Gigguk: I don't think I need to watch that.
  Fate Fandom Gigguk: It has lesbian lolis kissing.
  Gigguk: I think I'll need to watch that.

The Art of Ending an Anime

• Gigguk tries to explain the infamous Sequel Number Snarl of Tokyo Ghoul leading into another series infamous for that.
  If you're an anime only watcher, it's actually pretty simple. All you need to do is watch Tokyo Ghoul then read the Tokyo Ghoul manga then watch the Tokyo Ghoul live-action, then comes the Tokyo Ghoul musical, then Tokyo Ghoul: Grand Order for the Nintendo DS, then after doing all that you're finally ready to play Kingdom Hearts III

Basically, Netflix's Evangelion

• Gigguk notices that Netflix have included a "Skip Intro" option with the show:
  "This is actually a covert sting operation, as skipping "Cruel Angel's Thesis" was declared as a war crime by the UN in 1999. So far, a total of seven people have been detained, where — as per legislation — they are publicly shamed, forced to watch 200 hours of the Lucky Star opening, and sentenced to be destroyed."

The Waifu That Didn't Deserve to Die

• Since it's been adapted in just about every medium, he says to take your pick between animation (film), pictures (manga), words (the original novel), or "weird creatures who inhabit this strange world that looks like a less aesthetic Makoto Shinkai movie" (live-action).
• Apparently, the best part of a story called I Want to Eat Your Pancreas is that it confuses the hell out of everyone googling for the lyrics to I Want To Break Free.

Demon Slayer is a Work of Art

• After some time praising the show's technical aspects and characterizations, Gigguk finally gets to the real star:
  Gigguk: Of course, [Tanjiro's] motivations would be worthless if his family members weren't worth protecting. And I'm glad to say after all the failed attempts we've seen over the years in anime, science has finally created the perfect little sister! And her name...is Nezuko! This is what peak imouto looks like! Say goodbye to all your trash-tier, onii-chan incest crap, you want an imouto to protect?! Well she also protects you! She takes head pats and she gives head pats! You don't even need dialogue with her because she speaks the purest language of all! CUTE. IMOUTO. NOISES. She comes neatly packaged in her own box! Fuck gamer girl bath water and that weak-ass product! Give us something the world actually needs! I want Imouto In a Box! I want Canned Headpats, Step On Me Simulators, ISEKAI MILF BREAST MILK!!!...Alright that one might be a little bit far. How about...Worst Girl Tears When She Loses.

I Spent $1000 Buying Waifus in Gacha Games

• A half of hour video about Gigguk deciding to try out gacha games for himself considering their popularity in the anime community and realizing to his horror how addicting it is.
  • When talking about how popular gacha games are, he side tracks to the fact many gacha games have spurred hentai doujin that are really good.
• Gigguk first states he did this for his curiosity even saying he wasn't sponsored and he isn't making the money he spent back.
• Gigguk wanting a decent sample size decides to play seven gacha games which ate up so much of his time doing the games' daily missions that he shows it as him waking up at 9:00 am to play the game and going to sleep at 1:00 am just having finished the missions. After a week, he decided to cut it down to three games to keep his sanity.
  • He explains kept playing Fate/Grand Order because he wanted context on the many hentai doujins that FGO spurred.
• Gigguk's descriptions how each gacha game starts with a huge Info Dump about the gameplay at the start that he felt like a, "ADHD diagnosed magpie after doing a line of coke".
• Gigguk then realizes what he'll actually be doing in most of these games, farming. With it obviously driving him crazy at how much farming he had to do.
  Gigguk: Thank you Arknights for calling your stamina "Sanity", because mine definitely needed refreshing after farming your summer event for two weeks straight.
• Despite his frustrating with farming and his own research on how to maximum his farming, Gigguk realizes he enjoyed playing those games. A hand holding money then appears from out of frame which Gigguk slaps away.
• Gigguk's description of the Fate Series is where every female historical figure that you've ever known is a hot girl and male historical figure that you've ever known is a hot girl and sometimes a loli.
• 15 minutes in Gigguk admits that despite playing the gacha games for months, he hadn't spent any money .... till there was a waifu that he wanted and it went downhill from there.
• When Gigguk states he finally started to spend money on gachas when in Arknights there were banners on characters that he needed before admitting they were also hot as well as a character that he didn't actually need but she was in a swimsuit and also she's hot.
• After Gigguk showing clips of having a really good roll in Arknights which he describes as a high equal to snorting enough cocaine to OD a baby elephant. He's then states he's been to real casinos and didn't really care for the experience and can confidently say getting the waifu he wanted was far more fun than winning money to his confusion and shock.
• After rolling on Arknights, Gigguk decides to roll on F/GO which he calls the the final boss of gacha summoning rates due to the Apocrypha crossover event deciding to roll for Mordred (rated as SSR) and Astolfo (rated lower as an SR.) While he got Mordred easily, it took him $400 to finally get Astolfo, which he bitterly stated isn't even that good.
  • In relation to this, his very reason for deciding to "whale" on the F/GO's Gacha system for Astolfo:
    Gigguk: "Sometimes, it takes a real man to become best girl."
• Gigguk realizes that the saying that gacha is like drugs is wrong, drugs are way cheaper.
• Gigguk's description of how there is Always Someone Better in terms of spending on the gacha/being a whale.
  Gigguk: So remember there will always be a bigger whale. No matter how much you think you whale, you are merely a deformed dolphin swimming in your shitty fish tank while somewhere out there, there is this Leviathan or maybe a world serpent who digivolved into a galaxy spanning Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann.
• At the end of the video Gigguk states that he now has no more reason to stay in gacha hell but he has a small problem, HOW THE FUCK DO I GET OUT?

I Got Addicted to VTubers and Regret Everything

• Gigguk finally finds a way to free himself from Gacha Hell...only to fall into the vtuber rabbit hole.
  Gigguk: Forgive me Father, for I have simp'd.
• When trying to explain the appeal of vtubers to a general audience and why they've become so popular within the anime community, he makes a fairly common comparison to Professional Wrestling in terms of how vtubers tend to function on a strange twist on kayfabe (real actions by fake people as opposed to fake actions by real people, to very quickly sum it up) and drops a line that can easily be taken out of context.
  Gigguk: Vtubers is just wrestling...with waifus.
• In a segment where he goes through a few personal favorites from hololive, he spends a good amount of time on Korone, a dog girl, and expresses a desire to headpat her only for his fiancee Sydsnap to come in and pull him away, kicking and screaming.
• His description of Luna.
  Gigguk: Himemori Luna has a design drawn by the Eromanga Sensei artist and for once, going against the anime trope of having a loli who's secretly two thousand years old, Luna's age seems to be about negative twenty.
• When trying to figure out if donating to a vtuber is a tax-deductible expense, the first video that shows up is a clip of himself discussing why he donated to Kiryu Coco on his podcast.
  Gigguk: Are you fucking serious?
• Towards the end of the video, he discusses the benefits of following Japanese speaking Vtubers and, by comparison, the fact that he has actually gained a benefit in improved Japanese listening by watching them live without subtitles, calling back to a joke that he made earlier about gacha being gambling he can jack off to.
  Gigguk: Basically, if I'm going to have a Japanese learning resource, at least I can have a Japanese learning source I can-Smash Cut

I Used a Million Dollar AI to Prove that Light Novel Titles are Dumb. / We Don't Understand Anime Light Novels (ft. The Anime Man and CDawgVA)

• At the end of both videos he showcases a few AI-generated titles using their names as the starting word. One of the best ones is "Connor Wants to be a Hero but is Actually a DICK! Part 2: Another World's Strongest Gamer" and they're all laughing over how on-point it is for his kind of character. He's also frustrated at how the AI can't recognize his own name "Garnt" but it responds to "Grant".

Badly Explaining the ENTIRE Fate Series in 30 MINUTES

• Gigguk visualizes the Fate timeline virtually on a greenscreen because he doesn't have a wall big enough to do it physically... and not because he wants to rip off Nakey Jakey.
• He essentially loses his mind trying to explain the incredibly convoluted Kudzu Plot of the Fate multiverse and is relying on the fan mantra "Don't worry about it!" to avoid delving into excessively complex explanations.
  Gigguk: What is the moon? Don't worry about it! ...No, please, please don't worry about it, please don't ask me what the moon is, I'm not going to fucking talk about the moon!
• He describes the First Holy Grail War as various "magic gamer girls and boys" having a meeting to decide what to do with the Greater Grail, or in other words, a "Magic: The Gathering".
• He says that the Church got involved with the Third Holy Grail War because they asked God if they could "copy-strike" the Ainsworths for their use of the term "Holy Grail".
• When talking about Fate/Apocrypha:
  • He comments how Astolfo "makes straight guys question their sexuality and gay guys question their sexuality and gay girls question their sexuality... and me question my life choices for spending 400 dollars for a dick."
  • He ends the segment by calling it "Hitler/stay night".
• He describes Today's Menu for the Emiya Family as what would happen in-game if someone got bored after playing the visual novel for five minutes, left and never returned... or in other words, the reality where CDawgVA tried to play Fate.
• He describes the Iliyaverse^note (seasons 1 and 2 of Fate/kaleid liner PRISMA☆ILLYA) as "cute girls doing cute things, cute girls doing magical things, and cute girls doing each other.
  • When he brings up how Iliya is 18 years old in the original Fate/stay night but under 18 in the Iliyaverse, despite being the same age as when the timeline diverged, which theoretically should have made her 18 there too:
    Gigguk: You know, I would say "don't worry about it"... but I'm pretty sure the FBI are gonna do that for me.
• He gets even more stressed when he goes into the multitude of side content, almost all of which is canon. And when he completes his video and looks over his completed timeline, and he's astonished that he's starting to understand everything. Then he reaches Fate/Grand Order... and takes a deep breath because FGO in itself can count as its own separate universe. His attempt to illustrate its place in the whole timeline diagram ends in him screaming and scribbling everywhere.
• He gets to Fate Prototype... which is a 12-minute trailer for a nonexistent project... that has its own light novel prequel. And he'd be content if it were self-contained, but a dream sequence links it to the rest of the canon.
  • Additionally, he makes a joke about how oversaturated the series is compared to its sister franchise Tsukihime... a joke that he then realizes is thoroughly dated.
    Gigguk: You can tell that line was written months ago because, um… (shows poster of Tsukihime Remake) yeah, where the fuck did this come from.

You Cannot Dislike This Video.

• The video was developed in response to YouTube hiding the dislike ratio — he takes the opportunity to spout out an endless chain of bad takes that will knowingly provoke the fanbases. Highlights include:
  • Insisting that you can start the Fate Series anywhere so long as it's not at the visual novel
  • Gabby. Did. Nothing. Wrong.
  • Claiming that My Hero Academia is worse than Black Clover, Black Clover is worse than Bleach, Bleach is worse than YuYu Hakusho, and YuYu Hakusho is worse than My Hero Academia
  • Calling the cast of Demon Slayer a bunch of mouthbreathers, using the clip of Tanjiro using his breathing technique.
  • His full on declaration of war on One Piece, chastising Oda for not finishing the story.
  • Oh, and JoJo is mid.

Anime Has Gone Too Far

• The subject matter is My Life With Inukai's Dog, which repeatedly toes the line for Bestiality Is Depraved. Gigguk goes through this video acting like a broken man who's gazed into the abyss, and feels that this show has "crossed the line."
• His decision to make this video was out of a terrifying revelation that "Somehow, somewhere, this is going to be someone's first anime." So this video is to tell that theoretical new anime fan that there's more to anime than the depravity that is this show, and so that he can sleep better.
• For once he's actually thrilled to do an ad read so that he can talk about literally anything else.
• Looking at the synopsis and going off his experiences with isekai, he reckons "Surely this isn't more dumb than reincarnating as a sword or a vending machine! Maybe it can look into how the protagonist's struggles living a dog's life in a modern world!" To his disappointment, it doesn't explore those plot lines.
• He takes an aside to talk about other dogs in anime, including Pochita, Ein, Bond, and Nina, all of which are deemed "good boys" (and "girl", in Nina's case). Pochita of Inukai is decidedly not.
• "While the rest of the world was concerned with 'what the dog doin?' Inukai was more concerned with 'who the dog doin?'"

A Manga About Being Stepped On

• Gigguk beginning to explain the subject matter of Chained Soldier.
  Gigguk: Mato Seihei no Slave, or Chained Soldier, asks a simple philosophical question to all the guys in the world; would you sell your dignity to be stepped on by a group of hot anime gir-YES.
