** Discussed in more depth in "Disney+: Where Anime Goes to Die". Geoff suspects the chief motivation for Disney+ acquiring major anime series is to boost subscriptions to the service in Japan, with the distribution of said series to other markets being an afterthought at best. He also touches on other streaming services which have fumbled or buried major series, such as the Funimation merge with Crunchyroll resulting in historically important shows like ''Anime/OutlawStar'' being lost.

However, Disney+ gave the shows literally no advertising, their app's algorithm doesn't recommend them to anyone, the shows aren't even available in Canada, and ''Rendering'''s release was incredibly poorly handled.

* DamnedByFaintPraise: In "The Art of OP Anime Heroes", he admits that ''Literature/SwordArtOnline'' handles its InvincibleHero better than its copycats, such as by changing the type of game being played in each arc so that Kirito can, for example, never lose at gunfights instead of never losing at swordfights.

** Surprisingly, he even complains about it on his review of ''Avatar'', mentioning that there's a lot of people trying to say the Netflix adaptation is worse than the movie, which he categorically and strongly disagrees, for attention, rather than giving a proper go at the series.

The little brother feeling attraction for his older sister is not Maru and Kiruko (who are indeed not related and "big sis" is just a nickname) but Haruki and Kiriko.

* BrotherSisterIncest: Anime finds a way, and Geoff is never happy about it; in fact, one of his "rules" for the "How to Survive a Harem" PSA is "DON'T FUCK YOUR SISTER" in all caps. That said, in his FixFic for ''Literature/SwordArtOnline'''s Fairy Dance arc, he nevertheless retains the plot point of Suguha's one-sided crush on her cousin and adopted older brother Kazuto/Kirito, playing it up as a sympathetic but misguided phase of adolescence she eventually has to grow out of in order to become mature and happy in the future, while excising all instances of MaleGaze that do nothing but muddy the message that Kirito, as an audience-insert character, is not supposed to see his cousin/sister in a sexual manner.

** Discussed in "A Painfully Honest Review of Netflix Avatar" regarding animation-to-live action in general. Geoff points out that animation offers its creators a great deal of freedom in creating unique visuals and creature designs which are simply impractical in a live action adaptation. This leads to the adaptation making concessions to stay in budget, such as greatly reducing Appa's role due to the difficulties of convincingly bringing him to life or fantastial archietecture being notably toned down.

Maru isn't Kiruko's brother and they weren't raised together, he just calls her "big sis" because she's older than him (in Japan, it's not uncommon to refer to someone older than you as "onee-san" or "onii-san" even if you aren't related to them). His attraction to Kiruko is more along the lines of a Bodyguard Crush than Brother Sister Incest.
