YMMV / JesuOtaku

• Broken Base: As mentioned on To Boldly Flee's YMMV page, Jacob's portrayal of Edward from Cowboy Bebop has earned mixed reviews. Shortly after the episode where he became Edward, Jacob Tweeted that the ratio was around 70% in favor of it, with 30% disliking it. Funnily enough, this was long after he himself had noted in his review of Bebop that the character is extremely tricky to play without veering into being annoying.
• Crosses the Line Twice: The Penguin Lottery wherein he broadcasted his game of Zoo Tycoon, creating an exhibit with 150 penguins and 5 polar bears, and had the people watching his stream bet on which penguin would survive the longest. Accompanied by Yakkity Sax.
• He Panned It, Now He Sucks!: Like any internet critic, he's had his share of this.
  • His review of Revolutionary Girl Utena proved to be very controversial in the show's fandom, and led to his old homophobic comments that he'd disowned entirely by that point being brought up and causing no end of problems for the TGWTG producers.
  • In one week, he upset Bronies, Trekkies, and Whovians by slamming My Little Pony: Equestria Girls (before it was released), Star Trek Into Darkness and "The Name of the Doctor". Best summed up by this response.
  • He also has done several twitter tirades about RWBY and its fanbase. When people responded, he tweeted a sarcastic comment of "WHY CAN'T YOU JUST HAVE LITERALLY ZERO STANDARDS OR TASTE".
  • The Legend of Korra fans got quite upset with him when he compared Korra to Anakin Skywalker to the Star Wars prequels and acted like you were just kidding yourself if you thought she was a heroic person. And then he called her a "cunt" the next week, which got even worse backlash.
• He Really Can Act:
  • His cameo in the Brows Held High review for Melancholia had him switch on a dime from his familiar cheery self to heartbreakingly solemn and disappointed when Kyle lashes out at him in his depression.
  • His Katawa Seiyu auditions continue the trend of showing off Hope's acting skills, particularly his audition for Rin, which can be seen here.
  • The amount of characters' voice he can display during any of his Let's Plays, cornerstones of his Saturday stream session, is astounding.
• Harsher in Hindsight:
  • The Real Women Don't Wear Dresses gag in his Mahoromatic review is rather painful considering he'd later confess to experiencing gender dysphoria at times before he came out as transgender.
  • Also a gag where the female presenting at the time JO stuffed his bra so he could balance a plate there, and then Vixen did the same with her actual boobs in a later video.
  • His comment in his Digimon retrospectives that "Gennai's a douche" becomes slightly less funny now that Gennai underwent a Face–Heel Turn in Digimon Adventure tri..
  • Jacob's original "Upload my old videos wherever, I don't really care" attitude after he called it quits, considering that in 2017 someone started a video series coming after the former Channel Awesome members, and most of them including JO had to start requesting that any reuploads be taken down so they wouldn't be used to mock them.
• Hilarious in Hindsight:
  • In his Eiken review, Sage points out that JO would probably not have that much of a problem with it if the show were about a a cast full of muscular pretty boys in revealing outfits and with big...endowments, to which JO awkwardly tries to change the subject. Skip ahead a couple of years, and JO sees Free!...which is pretty much exactly what Sage described. And JO really did like it!^note Although that's more to do with the fact that the show's writers are at least trying to give it a plot and three-dimensional characters along with the manservice than the manservice itself
  • At the end of the review of Master of Martial Hearts, to explain the severity of the show's Sudden Downer Ending while avoiding actually spoiling it, he compares it to the ending of School Days, feeling that there's next to zero chance of that ever getting officially released in America so it's okay to compromise and spoil that series' end instead. Nearly three years after the review was posted, Discotek revealed that they had acquired the rights to the School Days anime and would be giving it an American release the following summer.
  • Speaking of the MoMH review, Bennett the Sage, as the review was back before Bennett retconned his then-current persona to be a demon impersonating Sage, was the one who tormented JO into doing the review. Years and the retirement of the Devil Sage persona later, Bennett himself would review it for Anime Abandon.
  • In JO's Digimon Adventure 02 retrospective, he claims that 02's ending permanently closed off the Adventure continuity to any future sequels, and repeatedly affirms this viewpoint in ways such as calling it an "extremely conclusive conclusion" in the Tamers retrospective. He would be proven wrong in 2015, when Digimon Adventure tri. was released. And later in 2020, the film Digimon Adventure: Last Evolution Kizuna would be released as the Grand Finale for the Adventure cast, and in 2021, a new film focused on the 02 cast would be announced.
• Nightmare Fuel: The intro to his Higurashi review. He says hello, brings out a cleaver and laughs like a demon.
• Opinion Myopia: He doesn't tend to treat fans of series he dislikes well. Such as when fans of RWBY responded to his tirades on the series, he replied basically stating they have no taste or standards.
• Tear Jerker: He keeps a running tally of these moments in his Digimon Tamers retrospective, which gets the work-out of its life in the Wham Episode that is Leomon's fight with Beelzemon. He ultimately declares the infamous "You're not Leomon" moment to be the biggest one in the entire franchise.
