    I was introduced to this anime around the summer of 2018, but I can’t remember how. I only saw 4 episodes but I heavily related to Umaru being a perfect student and a slob otaku.

      Anyway, I also met a girl in the cafeteria at school while I was in 8th grade who had an Umaru tee. Never spoke to her much, but I did talk to her about how relatable the show is.

    I love Himinoto-Umaru -Chan. I wish I was her. I wish I could be a super genius who could easily do his work after playing video games all the time. This show is very relatable if you have siblings.

    I just clicked on this video to know more about this anime, and was quite pleasantly surprised by the amount of research done such as dates of manga scanlations etc
    But my mind was blown when I saw the actual channel with so little subscribers, I thought I was watching some popular anime review channel based on the quality of the video
    Kudos to you buddy,
    The effort on the video is amazing
    Also you gained a subscriber

    I loved this show! I know that Umaru can act like a brat, but in my opinion that's nothing compared to some truly horrible and unlikable characters I've seen. Also Umaru cares about others and helps them. Like in the very first episode when she accidentally scared a girl who nearly fell over. She caught her and helped her back up. I thought that was sweet of her.

    You do such a fantastic job researching things (and providing your references at the end!) and explaining things well! I had absolutely zero familiarity with this show other than seeing some pics of the little orange gremlin floating around, but the explanations and information you included give enough context to understand, which is a great skill.

    I remember when Yey aired Umaru-chan and I watched it until it was late at night with my aunt. She didn't get it and just kept watching until she fell asleep but I was hooked. The next day at school I told my friend who was sitting next to me and she told me she watches it too and just kept teasing me on how I and Umaru were really similar in terms of being high academic achievers and being chronically online 💀💀 Let's just say I was upset the entire day lmao.

    BTW, did you know her English voice actress was a contestant on "American Idol"? And she wasn't the only anime voice actor to do so either?

    • @HalKozy
      @HalKozy  8 місяців тому +3

      Yeah I heard her backstory before, and I know she LOVED voicing Umaru! I wish she was more recognised for the role because it's brilliant.

      Anime Expo is the biggest anime convention in the US and takes place in California. Companies often do big reveals there.
      And thank you! That is the plan: going over English subs, dubs, games, and manga.

    You should make an English version files video on captain tsubasa road to 2002 lost English dub. From what I heard people were telling me that it used to air on animax Asia and the only way to watch it is to get this Middle East streaming service called starz on so I was wondering if you can make a video on that

    If I can add some context as someone who wasn’t big on Umaru, my big issue was more about the framing of Umaru’s behavior than Umaru herself. Because yeah, Umaru is a bratty gremlin creature who grows over time, but the way it’s portrayed as cute/“moe” didn’t click with me at all. And it doesn’t help that it came out while “waifuposting” was unavoidable, so a lot of fans a little _too_ into Umaru’s gremlin form wouldn’t stop talking about how she was “best girl”. It just felt like it was pandering to a type of anime fan I didn’t agree with

    • @HalKozy
      @HalKozy  8 місяців тому +2

      Thanks for the additional input! It was difficult to cram everything in that I wanted as far as why people weren't big on the show, and you brought up a good point I could've elaborated on further when saying the behaviour goes uncontested, which is something I saw brought up a lot. Thanks for watching!

    I really disliked it then I was younger. More like subconsciously jealous “why she can be lazy nerd like me but also better in everything??”
    Haha
    I have her nendoroid with separate extra faceplates, it’s really cute figurine, I think one of the best from this line
    And as I’m now a grown adult, I appreciate this title for what it is. And I always think about her then seeing chips or chocolate mushrooms) and then buy some with coke

    I think honorifics should be used in the subs but not the dubs. Sometimes the honorifics are a plot point for example Yor calls Anya Anya-San in Spy x Family because she is a very polite character. She also doesn't feel quite like she is Anya's mother yet and Anya was there before her. In a dub the honorifics might get in the way of the lip sync.

    14:30 who would though that this was a nightmare for those outside the USA
    (Left both European and Latin American Markets, and kept the global rights still, making it imposible for us to watch the shows shown with logos in this section, most were available before on CR and specially Netflix)

    I'll request BoBoiBoy. This is MALAYSIAN animation. Not european. MALAYSIAN. There's 2 dubs of the original BoBoiBoy, 1 dub of BoBoiBoy Galaxy, 1 Dub Of Both Movies, PLUS you might have to cover mechamato since that's also in the BoBoiBoy universe (probably not tho)

    • @HalKozy
      @HalKozy  7 місяців тому

      To be fair, season 2 (and later the author himself in a bonus volume) confirms there is nothing romantic between them and that she is just projecting her big brother onto him, hence her getting flustered (and misunderstandings from others like Kirie).

    I'm from the side that disliked Umaru as a teen.
    The violent thoughts I had towards her were strong 😂...
    🫸🐹🫷*Snaps neck in half*
    I just thought she was a brat and I felt bad for her "brother" who was just a random guy she lets take care of her 😂
    I did see the later episodes but... hard to fix those first impressions.
