Watching this again 5 years later, I’ve realized that Gigguk was 100% correct on this, as I have reached True Acceptance. I feel like I might have self-prophesied subconsciously, as I’d forgotten this video existed for several years but still followed it like a WikiHowTo

I just started demon lord, retry because it looked interesting, and had no background info other than the little girl with blond hair reminded me of rem and ram. When I started, everything seemed too similar to overlord that I knew it was gonna be an isekai, coincidentally my favorite genre of anime. Edit: i just finnished episode 1, and it was pretty much just a knock off of overlord, over all worse in my opinion, but not by that much. The only other complaint is that it goes through information too fast, and therefore has you less attached to the story, ik it may be because they don't have enough money to fit all the story, but i would rather wait for them to earn more money to make a season 2 than to have less detail in the story.
Everyone hits that stage, so true, but it isn't that long tbh, it is normally the splitting point where they can separate from anime or just read it along with anime. Over time people would see that the anime games are terrible (Bar a few).
lmao yesss. i love that anime (fairy dance arc was ehhh though). although the anime that got me hooked was Chū-2, and my friend suggested me that one lol
1:43 While this is one of the most accurate parts of the video, I've noticed something more When you go back to the start of the cycle, by temporalily watching next to no anime, it *actually* reopens that ability.

Ah you must be referring to a stage in the branch where external factors cause a change in the anime fan's gene expression resulting in them morphing into what is known as a manga fan.
Been an anime fan for 10+ years and I believe I'm in the "Returning" phase. Where you watch a lot of anime, but slowly you watch less and less. Then at some point you almost stop altogether and just rewatch good anime every so often, but now that a few years have passed you come back to find a few more goodies. Likely you will leave again at some point, but you'll still watch hentai nightly.
1:24 the funny part about this is SAO was actually the first anime I seriously watched and now that I'm a casual anime watcher, it still holds a special place in my heart no matter what people say about it.
i'm currently at the stage where he says an anime fan has a "waifu" and yeah, surprisingly it's accurate. though i will say, even with how bad sao got, it's one of the first anime that i watched before middle sch and i can't live without treasuring it.
Same lmao. Im like 650 completed anime over past 15 years and......in the last stage indeed. No longer giving a fuck and just watch what i enjoy (still cant enjoy full girls slice of life moe anime tho)
@@invertbrid I reached the point where anime becomes boring that I dont give a fuck anymore and stop watching anime then switch to manga then to novels.
@@justakidwithnolife5671 well i can relate. Tho i dont read LN, manga only a few. But i rarely watch anime anymore nowdays (at least for past 3-4 years or so). At most maybe 3-4 anime per seasons, usually 1-2. Nowdays i play game more, PC, PS4, and mobile.
Invert Brid I could never sit down and watch 650, I've been a fan for like 7-8 years and I've only seen like 50-80😞 I'm still a casual by the amount of anime I've completed, but overall, I've seen like 200
so basically it goes like this... **watches one anime** hey that was a pretty good show i wonder if there are others like it **likes every anime they watch** **starts getting attracted to anime girls** **hentai addiction**
This is probably his best video ever. A god dam masterpiece The one phase some go through is the your drop/deleted list becomes larger than your watched list. Usually happens when you learn your taste and don't give enough sh** for anything that can't entertain you

You forgot when they actually get to a point where they can formulate simple Japanese sentences out of the knowledge they gain You guys need help how tf did this get to over a thousand likes
Every now and again I come back to this masterpiece of a video.True timeless classic that never gets old. Even then, having reached full acceptance for some time now, I would add some stages: after completing the cycle a number of times the specimen reaches the burnout already mentioned and takes a break from watching anything anime related for some time to just come back bc they saw a trash taste episode talking about some show that even josh the manga lad seen and either they truly return and enters the seasonal anime arms race again or they think is mid and start a new journey: The life cycle of a manga fan. But that's a tail for another time.
For newer anime fans 1. Start watching 12 -28 episodes anime especially shonen 2.Gradually increse it to 100 and then more but avoid one piece 3. Dive away from shonen ro isekai and romance (and hentai) 4. Check out other genres 5. Comes back to shone because of a random UA-cam video and open up to one piece 5. Full awakening 6. Starts reading manga cause the shows taking too long 7. Starts reading light novels because the manga is taking too long (also starts reading pornhwas) 8. Depression 9. Starts goofy anime and the journey of not giving a fuck
You forgot to include that, When a anime season 1 ends and the season 2 is no where to be found for like 10 - 12 years and there is no official word about it, the anime fans end up in a depression cycle for their entire life and just end up getting forced to read the manga and cry in the corner.
I am proud to say that in less than 1,5 years i have been reached the "Higher state of being" Although i feel my anime cycle has been very rushed, the feelings i had in my awakening simply wont perish and i find myself challenging my mind and body trying to re-achieve the bliss i felt after watching 45 episodes in one day during my early days. I remember clearly telling my brother that my anime phase "was only going to last 2 weeks like all my other interest" only to dive so deeply into the rabbit hole that my entire personality was flipped upside down. Yes you heard me right, anime actually changed the very basics of my personality. Although corona may have contributed to this, after watching around 15 animes i started thinking a lot more, so much so that i went from and extroverted person to a introverted person. I also starting being more self aware after watching classroom of the elite, and eventually fuck i give up i dont wanna type anymore Anime fucked me up, but i love it.
Kene Arimah Train yourself to watch two episodes at once at all times. Learn Japanese and listen to the episodes it taped to your head while wearing glasses so you can barely see the reflection of the show. Skip through episodes, and learn to sleep at work so you can pull more all nighters. You can also research every episode, watch short clips from each one, and claim to have watched it. This my friends is what you call cutting corners.
Rewatching this 6yrs later and this still is true maybe even more so now. Especially since I got into anime in 2012, but it was my entire personality soon after eventhough I had barely watched any by that time
Ah, the early months of "I watched all of the amazing stuff out here" After that comes " I know what *I* like" Witch is followed by "everything is shit because no one has taste or frame of reference"
This was actually really helpful as I was starting to become burnt out on having to know every album by every 80s metal band inside and out, which is an incredibly unrealistic goal I know, but the final stage of Not Giving A Fuck is something I've needed to hear for a long time. As a content creator who makes videos about 80s rock its easy to get burnt out when you end up treating a passion like a chore, so thank you for this video.
You forgot the stage where you don't watch the last episode because you don't want the anime to end, and then the stage of regret when you remember that you haven't watched the last episode, but forgot which animes you didn't fully watch
Most of it can be good... Heck i'm not into classical music much but loved Your Lie in April....even though it's filled with tropes...but then ALL of literature is filled with tropes no matter what culture it came from. How else do you think the tropes became tropes? :)
The Void is real. I remember being fifteen at my grandparents house for a week and starting Neon Genesis Evangelion, only to finish the entire series in one night, watch End of Evangelion, and then spend the next week of my stay desperately hunting down the rebuilds on pirated anime websites in an attempt to consume more of a show I had just finished. Finishing that show and realizing that I couldn’t see what happened to the characters anymore felt like loosing actual people I was close to.
My first was AoT (I know its very basic) and binged the shit out of it, then last episode of s3 pt 2 came and this big black gap in my heart came. Felt like i lost 6 family members in the same hour and I could not focus on anything for a week
I experienced the void thingy after watching Clannad. Its so good i want anime more anime like that Currently watching Miss kobayashi's dragon maid (idk if i spelt that right)
@@hollyknight5881 just by saying "if you do a whole episode you get thousands of $" I can tell you don't understand how time consuming and difficult it is to make good animations
@@burnedpizzacrust1199 I see you're also a man of culture. In the sea of these waifu vultures, we, TRUE MEN OF CULTURE must prevail over these normie trash weaboos.
REALwoombath I mean I love me a Gigguk video, and I loved this one too, but even after watching it I feel like it’s yet another Final that I’m bout to fail. 😂
I think A anime fan its more smart and creative tthen normal people,because according survey an otaku its more" thinking out the box"because you know the plot in anime its make you head its overwhalming,you are just too boring
You forgot the one that in a desperate attempt to find good anime, you start rewatching the anime you used to think was good, realizing your old taste was trash.
Gruesome Gamers I liked what I first started on actually, blood+ and elfin lied were popular when I first started years ago. I still like them. I just can't stand them because ive seen them too many times. Get this!! Ive seen them so many times that in my subconscious mind when thinking of a name for my first born son, I named him after the main male lead in Elfin Lied, "Kota" (in the anime its actually "koda"), didn't mean to. But oh well, life is life.
Forgot the “Trashy Art” phase Happens when a fan gets into drawing anime which turns out to be extra cringey until they reach different paths in their evolution: Meme Artist: They become super good at drawing but they use that skill to make well drawn shitposts Hentai Artist: Turns into a hentai Artist and potentially gets a job off it. May also branch into loli hentai artist where they will forever be on the FBI watchlist Casual Artist: They’ve improved greatly and now draw wholesome fanart with the occasional ecchi bikini shot
It hit me hard when you said we lose the ability to binge watch 100s of episodes instantly. I really don't know why I just can't watch a whole season anymore
You just have to find the right anime for you, one that’ll hit all the right notes and connect with you on a deeper level. Everyone has different things that will connect with them but once you find your match, you won’t be able to stop watching it til the inevitable VOID. For me it was “your lie in April” that I just finished binging (my first bing in a VERY long time) I’m not a romantic but the show hit me like a brick wall with all types of emotions I didn’t think an anime could make me feel anymore.
Bro you think it's bad, I cant even watch 2 episodes a day. Before I could watch 30 episodes a day without being bored. I'm struggling to find an anime that I like, the only one in my list is hayku and in 2 weeks I just watched 8 episodes, the last time binge watched something wasnt an anime, it was the witcher. I cant find anything good
This video is a masterpiece. I’ve watched it so many times over the years and still come back to it. I personally evolved into a manga reader and don’t particularly enjoy watching anime anymore, but I’m glad I discovered the medium, and rewatching my favorites while occasionally knocking a show that looks interesting to me off of the endless Plan to Watch list still scratches an itch that nothing else can.
You joke, but I ACTUALLY knew someone who basically said this. I asked if he liked anime, but he only has been FMA:B. I asked if he watched anything else.... He said he loved Jonny Test. He was dead serious.
I’ve always known that becoming addicted to anime leads you to becoming a social reject but this clarified the process unlike anything I’ve ever seen before.
This is so fucking accurate. Its weird because I recently reached the last phase. Being tired of holding anime to a higher standard, I've just been watching slice of life anime recently.
Same. I hated all anime, but then I realized the reason I hated anime was because I became too picky/snobby. So I said to myself “whatever I don’t give a shit anymore I’ll just watch any trash anime” and now I like anime again. I still have tastes and genres I like/dislike ( for example I don’t like slice of life) but for the most part I’m not very picky anymore. I’ve more or less returned to my beginning state of watching only shonen. I think that’s what everyone does, they go back to whatever genre originally got them into anime.
lol dude same, I randomly stopped watching anime for a good 4 years but just recently have been binging the hell out of it. For some reason I've been addicted to slice of life/romance and I have no idea why. So many damn schools. There's some great ones though.
You can break the cycle by becoming a three-dimensional person, a human with desires and feelings, with goals and reasoning skills. It's basically a shortcut through True Acceptance. But to do so, a big sacrifice has to be made. No longer will you be a flat 2d cutout of a person, an archetype. Being Otaku will still be part of you, but it won't be all encompassing. Maybe 10% of who you are will be Otaku, and the rest will be 9 other things; which together make you who you are - as a 3d person. And once you reach True Acceptance this way, there is no way back.
Very informative Mr. Gigguk, I learned a lot on this video of yours, will rate your in depth analysis 10/10, also will help others since it's an educational video, thank you Mr. Gigguk.

Most good anime games dont come from an anime

I have every dragon ball game except budokai tenkaichi 2
The phrase called “I wanna die” and “I’m bored” and “I’m gonna die virgin”

When you go back to the start of the cycle, by temporalily watching next to no anime, it *actually* reopens that ability.
But every time you start a new cycle, it's for a shorter time.
So it probably ends by disappearing, which I fortunately (?) haven't reached yet.

The "void phase" is the most terrifying thing when watching anime, I sometimes would even question myself "what is life?" Lol😂
Ajajaja
How does it end? I just finished toradora and I have that deep void and it too much to handle does it ever end?
@@elliskirk5627 My personal solution is watching a comedy anime to relieve some stress inside🤣
Yeah imagine loving spice and wolf...
I’ve gone through the Void Phase multiple times, I can confirm this. It’s truly terrifying.
so basically it goes like this...
**watches one anime** hey that was a pretty good show i wonder if there are others like it
**likes every anime they watch**
**starts getting attracted to anime girls**
**hentai addiction**
you mean **hentie* addiction* right? >_>

The one phase some go through is the your drop/deleted list becomes larger than your watched list.
Usually happens when you learn your taste and don't give enough sh** for anything that can't entertain you
1.Watch the Anime
2.Get Attached to it
3.Finish the Anime
4.Get Depressed because it’s over
I am actually at this momment depressed because re:zero and i rewatched after the end and i am rewatching again and tomorrow i will buy the light novel... My brain is fucked

Every now and again I come back to this masterpiece of a video.True timeless classic that never gets old. Even then, having reached full acceptance for some time now, I would add some stages: after completing the cycle a number of times the specimen reaches the burnout already mentioned and takes a break from watching anything anime related for some time to just come back bc they saw a trash taste episode talking about some show that even josh the manga lad seen and either they truly return and enters the seasonal anime arms race again or they think is mid and start a new journey: The life cycle of a manga fan. But that's a tail for another time.

- objective to complete every anime
- realize the truth of the world
- depression
- realisation
- redemption
- happiness
For newer anime fans
1. Start watching 12 -28 episodes anime especially shonen
2.Gradually increse it to 100 and then more but avoid one piece
3. Dive away from shonen ro isekai and romance (and hentai)
4. Check out other genres
5. Comes back to shone because of a random UA-cam video and open up to one piece
5. Full awakening
6. Starts reading manga cause the shows taking too long
7. Starts reading light novels because the manga is taking too long (also starts reading pornhwas)
8. Depression
9. Starts goofy anime and the journey of not giving a fuck
You forgot to include that,
When a anime season 1 ends and the season 2 is no where to be found for like 10 - 12 years and there is no official word about it, the anime fans end up in a depression cycle for their entire life and just end up getting forced to read the manga and cry in the corner.

Your in that phase
Ummm as long as I remember being on Internet I always had an anime pfp from Naruto.
yeah
I feel attacked
Can relate.
I am proud to say that in less than 1,5 years i have been reached the "Higher state of being" Although i feel my anime cycle has been very rushed, the feelings i had in my awakening simply wont perish and i find myself challenging my mind and body trying to re-achieve the bliss i felt after watching 45 episodes in one day during my early days. I remember clearly telling my brother that my anime phase "was only going to last 2 weeks like all my other interest" only to dive so deeply into the rabbit hole that my entire personality was flipped upside down. Yes you heard me right, anime actually changed the very basics of my personality. Although corona may have contributed to this, after watching around 15 animes i started thinking a lot more, so much so that i went from and extroverted person to a introverted person. I also starting being more self aware after watching classroom of the elite, and eventually fuck i give up i dont wanna type anymore
Anime fucked me up, but i love it.

the "plan to watch list" is a place where anime go to die
Unless you’re me.

right?
That's why i put all my anime in the watching section..
Kene Arimah Train yourself to watch two episodes at once at all times. Learn Japanese and listen to the episodes it taped to your head while wearing glasses so you can barely see the reflection of the show. Skip through episodes, and learn to sleep at work so you can pull more all nighters. You can also research every episode, watch short clips from each one, and claim to have watched it.

im at that stage
I haven't watched anime in years, because every time I try to get back into it I get overwhelmed with how much there is
The Void is real. I remember being fifteen at my grandparents house for a week and starting Neon Genesis Evangelion, only to finish the entire series in one night, watch End of Evangelion, and then spend the next week of my stay desperately hunting down the rebuilds on pirated anime websites in an attempt to consume more of a show I had just finished. Finishing that show and realizing that I couldn’t see what happened to the characters anymore felt like loosing actual people I was close to.
Looks like I’m not the only one that tried to speed run the big E 😞🥺
Evangelion just fcked us up but thats why we love it bro.

You forgot the one that in a desperate attempt to find good anime, you start rewatching the anime you used to think was good, realizing your old taste was trash.

Me with sao
I dunno. Ninja Scroll, Fist of the North Star and Vampire Hunter D still hold up pretty well for me.
had that with Tokyo Ghoul
Gruesome Gamers I liked what I first started on actually, blood+ and elfin lied were popular when I first started years ago. I still like them. I just can't stand them because ive seen them too many times. Get this!! Ive seen them so many times that in my subconscious mind when thinking of a name for my first born son, I named him after the main male lead in Elfin Lied, "Kota" (in the anime its actually "koda"), didn't mean to. But oh well, life is life.
Forgot the “Trashy Art” phase
Happens when a fan gets into drawing anime which turns out to be extra cringey until they reach different paths in their evolution:
Meme Artist: They become super good at drawing but they use that skill to make well drawn shitposts
Hentai Artist: Turns into a hentai Artist and potentially gets a job off it. May also branch into loli hentai artist where they will forever be on the FBI watchlist
Casual Artist: They’ve improved greatly and now draw wholesome fanart with the occasional ecchi bikini shot
I would like to meet all of the artists in that field of work for a.... documentary on the.... evolution of drawings yes. (Personal use)

You are single handedly the reason i got into anime, I wish there were more channels like yours.
It hit me hard when you said we lose the ability to binge watch 100s of episodes instantly. I really don't know why I just can't watch a whole season anymore
You just have to find the right anime for you, one that’ll hit all the right notes and connect with you on a deeper level. Everyone has different things that will connect with them but once you find your match, you won’t be able to stop watching it til the inevitable VOID. For me it was “your lie in April” that I just finished binging (my first bing in a VERY long time) I’m not a romantic but the show hit me like a brick wall with all types of emotions I didn’t think an anime could make me feel anymore.

I’ve been mainly watching slice of life for over 8 years now. Shounens got boring and harems are boring.
bec. shit is getting boring , last good anime I watched were seinen type.
Same. I hated all anime, but then I realized the reason I hated anime was because I became too picky/snobby. So I said to myself “whatever I don’t give a shit anymore I’ll just watch any trash anime” and now I like anime again. I still have tastes and genres I like/dislike ( for example I don’t like slice of life) but for the most part I’m not very picky anymore. I’ve more or less returned to my beginning state of watching only shonen. I think that’s what everyone does, they go back to whatever genre originally got them into anime.
lol dude same, I randomly stopped watching anime for a good 4 years but just recently have been binging the hell out of it. For some reason I've been addicted to slice of life/romance and I have no idea why. So many damn schools. There's some great ones though.
stop. Stop. STOP! THE MORE I WATCH THE MORE ACCURATE IT GETS! HELP
You can break the cycle by becoming a three-dimensional person, a human with desires and feelings, with goals and reasoning skills. It's basically a shortcut through True Acceptance. But to do so, a big sacrifice has to be made. No longer will you be a flat 2d cutout of a person, an archetype. Being Otaku will still be part of you, but it won't be all encompassing. Maybe 10% of who you are will be Otaku, and the rest will be 9 other things; which together make you who you are - as a 3d person.
And once you reach True Acceptance this way, there is no way back.
Oh Lawd it scared me as well
