    This is why Arkada is one of my favorite anime reviewers on UA-cam. Instead of following trends and talking about popular show for massive UA-cam gain, we get to see a review of an anime that may be forgotten but the mass. But important enough to be excavated back and receive the praise it deserves. His video show us clearly that he is passionate about anime, and he make reviews because he truly loves this medium.
    Thanks for the great review once again Ark! Your video has once again persuade me to watch a show that I would never heard of otherwise, as you have done times and times again. Keep up the great work!

      I haven't see everything he's made a video on but from what I've seen he doesn't review any echii or very fanservice filled anime which I like as it shows he isn't just a pervert or degenerate like most people seem to be. He can bring us amazing shows from the sea of crap fanservice echii anime and show us that anime isn't just that.

    Nice to see a video on an anime that isn't currently airing but is also not a old classic.

    Regarding your closing statements, I have never heard of Seiyu's Life before, and I'm so glad you made this video! I don't know how I never heard of it, but I'm glad I have now and I'm looking forward to watching it as soon as possible. Thanks for talking about it!

    Who else is waiting on an anime about how this anime was made?

    • @fukumarkzuckerburg
      @fukumarkzuckerburg 6 років тому +5

      Anime became a thing only because Japanese animation found a niche here in the west with shows like Akira and Ghost in the Shell.

    • @corndoghead1

      Too much meta for me..

    • @ProtagonistOfficial
      @ProtagonistOfficial 6 років тому +6

      Judged This statement is just false. Anime was a thing way before Akira and Ghost in the Shell existed.

    • @fukumarkzuckerburg
      @fukumarkzuckerburg 6 років тому +1

      Protagonist No, Japanese animation was a thing before Akira and Ghost in the Shell. I can think of dozens of anime that aired or was created before those two, however, to the best of my knowledge it was considered to be just another cartoon or form of such. If it wasn't for those high profile, AAA shows that Toonami aired or those that caught the eye of the western public, anime as we know it wouldn't be here, instead just another cartoon series in the medley that is Japanese television.

    • @ProtagonistOfficial
      @ProtagonistOfficial 6 років тому +5

      Judged Anime is still considered to be just cartoons by the Japanese who make it. If you are referring to when and why Anime gained popularity in the west, then it would be fair to attribute credit to shows like Akira, Ghost in the Shell and Toonami in general. That is a completely different discussion though. Shows like Space Battleship Yamato did not need the existence of the shows that came after it to be an "anime" though. That argument doesn't really make any sense.

    Seiyu's Life is one of thoses shows that somehow got under my radar when it first aired and I hadn't had the time to watch it yet. It seems like exactly the kind of show I'd enjoy.Hopefully I'll have more time next season to catch up with some older shows.And hopefully I remember to put Seiyu's Life on top of the list.

    I'm honestly very glad to see this series getting some love. I felt like it was skipped over by nearly everyone when it aired, which is a shame since it does such a great job at showing that side of the industry. I'd like to echo the comment made by someone else and hope that you give us some thoughts on Comic Girls at some point, or hell, maybe just do a bigger video on these types of shows someday so that we can get more of a rundown of what's out there. I've seen a few of the others mentioned in this video like Girlish Number, Shirobako and some of Genshiken, but the others are ones I definitely need to go back and take a look at. And if there are others out there, I'd love to see them as I also love this side of anime and what it shows us.

    Have you watched/read Bakuman? It's a manga/show about manga writers, and the main characters are trying to get an anime adaptation of their work so you get to see the process from the original author's side. There are also recurring characters with relating occcupations like editors, assistants and voice actors. It's pretty interesting if you're into this fiction-documentary genre!

    • @bernieburton6520
      @bernieburton6520 6 років тому +1

      Bakuman is fantastic. And I personally think that Bakuman is far better than their previous work, Death Note.

    • @DomiG
      @DomiG 6 років тому +1

      I finished that a few days ago and I loved it. I pretty much binged seasons 2 and 3. I watched Monthly girls' Nozaki-kun a while ago and was searching for something similar and found Bakuman. While they aren't that similar, I still loved both. Now I'm trying to find more anime about manga.

    • @crimsonwizahd2358
      @crimsonwizahd2358 6 років тому

      For brief second there I read that as "Bakugan", and thought you meant the anime about plastic balls popping open into creatures and magic cards.
      Nothing much else beyond that, it's basically the same type of crap that "Yu-Gi-Oh" and "Beyblade" fall into. You know, less of a show, more of an anime shaped toy commercial.

    You're not alone, I LOVE this anime! It's definitely not a popular one, and not many people were watching it when it was airing at the time either, but I loved the show for being so fun and informative. I'm naively hoping for a sequel to happen...someday.

    @eugenefindit 6 років тому

    Geez. You sure love these kinds of shows. I will admit I love it too when I got to it last year. And I guess I can kinda understand the Certified Frosty rating. It was a very interesting entry and probably one of the very few anime that specifically focuses on voice acting in anime and get it right. Basically, it did what Shirobako didn't. But at the same time, I wouldn't say it was at the absolute best yet. I did somehow find it slightly boring at times. Probably because visually, it wasn't very impressive. That's probably my only major gripe about the show. Other than that, I definitely had a good time with it. And just props to Gonzo for getting actual voice actresses as characters. It makes me wonder why isn't this show more popular because of that. ^_^

    You're so knowledgeable! Thank you for your review of "Seiyuu's Life". I only briefly remember it but I know it's great. As for not having English dub, maybe the English dub industry isn't at that level yet and it's better to not have any dub at all than having a bad one?

  • @chadmiettunen
    @chadmiettunen 6 років тому

    Even though Shirobako didn't focus on voice acting as much as the other roles, easily the best moment in the series is between Aoi Miyamori and Shizuka Sakaki. (I'm about to spoil that moment, so don't read further if you care about that.) When Aoi sees Shizuka finally take her first big step in her dream to become a voice actress, after so much hard work, and starts crying I couldn't help but tear up myself. Right in the God damn feels man! A super emotional moment that I honestly wasn't expecting that series to have.

    @gotchigd7053 6 років тому +4

    I watched all of Shirobako after having it recommended by a friend and never really got into it, honesty. I kept watching expecting some unique twist or crazy turn of events, but I can't really remember anything notable that the show offers. Well actually, I can recall how absurd some of the character interactions were, haha.
    It's the kind of show that appeals to a single kind of audience. If the anime industry doesn't interest you, or you're bored after the first few episodes of this show, don't expect it to change your mind. Whether I just had high expectations or the characters didn't really appeal to my tastes, I might be being a little unfair. But Shirobako simply didn't do anything for me.
    That said, I'll check this anime out because of the Certified Frosty, but I'm going in skeptical. Hope this one turns out different.

    Only because you've recently reviewed some Netflix "original" series, I'm curious if you're planning on reviewing "Devilman Crybaby".

Although, given your reaction to "Parasyte" I can understand if the body horror aspect has you put off.

    Can you review Tokyo Ghoul:re? The first season just ended, and I think you're thoughts on it would be appreciated! :)
