Yo... Marriage is a video game with real world consequences. So far I have bought the Bills DLC, Car DLC and will be purchasing the First Child DLC in April. So far marriage play through has been going strong for 3 years. 8 if you want to go back to the original game "Girlfriend" before I got the expansions. lol

I feel like a lot of the reasons people get invested in their waifus/husbandos are similar to those of us who get invested in shipping subculture only with not all of those ships being stuff to idealize and we mostly acknowledge that (teenagers who don’t have much relationship experience or education not withstanding). It’s just a focus on particular pairings as opposed to singular characters. :V
no please we’re learning about relationships in psychology and my teacher called me OUT💀💀💀 1 quick “your form relationships with fictional characters because you have an insecure attachment style to your parents, so to fill the void you fall in love with someone who can’t hurt you” The way I SCREAMED

This reminds me of the husbando war that broke out in my school's anime club Discord server when we watched Haikyu over summer. Followed by a Waifu war when we watched Welcome to Demon School Iruma-kun in fall. (I lead the small faction arguing that house-wife Az was actually best girl, instead of any of the actual girls...)
Subjective: Rem is best re zero girl, and I want her to end up with Subaru eventually. Emilia is good too, just like Rem better. Objective fact: Subaru made the right choice when he told Rem he loved Emilia. It was best for everyone at that point. And would be unfair to lie to Rem and pretend she's number one in his heart when she isn't. All Rem fans should be happy with this decision. It was the right one for everyone to grow and better themselves, and hopefully get to a point where Subaru can realize it was just a crush/puppy love for Emilia and end up with Rem. But this needed to happen.
Just chiming in to say how much I honestly love this channel and the variety of voices and perspectives about the various cultural elements that contribute to what makes anime such a engrossing medium.
he should get the Chiaki Nanami Bunny Ver. 1/4 scale on amiami. that didn't sell out oddly enough its 211 us dollars, not including shipping. Kyoko Kirigiri Bunny figure did sellout. I thought out of the 2 Chiaki would sellout first but here I am proven wrong.
when i saw the thumbnail, all that i could think of is me and the bois arguing about who had the better waifu and one of my friends said that hey! ur waifu is platinum sh#t!" ah, good times
Few weeks late, but I read up on Parasocial Interactions and Relationships this week for one of my uni classes. And it's actually pretty normal for western teens and young adults to have crushes on fictional characters. And it's not just anime, this also goes for actors and their public personae (=/= their real self). It's because this way they can "try out" feelings in a "safe" environment. It would probably be an interesting study how this translate into japanese culture and how often their loneliness.
One concept that might've been mentioned is 'hypereality'. There's this beetle in Australia that was under threat of extinction because it was more interested in beer bottles than in female beetles. The characteristics a beetle looks in a partner is are things like a big, shiny shell and no female can biologically be as thicc and lustrous as that specific brand of beer bottle people threw out of their window when they were driving through the area. After a law was passed forcing the company to change their bottles, the population of beetles was restored. The fake is so much better at pandering to our desires that it feels better than reality itself.
Homie really said "It's not like I'm doing this for y'all, BAKA." Honestly not surprised, I'm more of a kundere type myself. Keep up the good work, Curt.
As someone who not only expects, but would prefer, to die alone-I'm fine with this statement. I mean *gestures at everything* look at the alternatives.
I never really got into the whole waifu thing but it always made sense to me, even before I started watching anime. Like, they are literally drawn like perfect human beings (no wrinkles, big eyes, any kind of proportions etc.), and they can also be written to act with atractive character traits. I'm just quoteing the video, but yeah
Spending money on waifus reminds me of an Aggretsuko Season 2 episode where Retsuko spent constantly on micro-transactions to go on dates and buy clothes for her VR boyfriend xD
Ayo, we have more degenerate content on Curt and Adrian's NEW anime channel, 3RD IMPACT.

Every Curt video is a "Curt, no!" video, and I love him for it
Viewers, BTB producers: "Curt, no."
Curt: "Curt yes. *CURT ALWAYS YES!!!* "
Same
Also "Curt wtf!" and it's beautiful.
Honestly curt marrying a 2d anime character does not surprise me anymore
I honestly expected it sooner
It was his high school superlative. 🤷🏿♂️
Someone: "Your waifu belongs to the streets."
Me, an Initial D fan: *Well yeah, she's literally built for the streets!*
Street racers don't need girlfriends. Stay lonely.
This is underrated... Not enough people have watched Initial D.
Naw whoever don’t like Curt can really catch these hands. They can catch a fade foreal. Curt is my favorite member of Beyond the Bot.
Facts
Get faded up
Facts brother
Boosie fade
yedoye is cool too tho
Having Curt explain about waifu relationships is a Holiday treat!!
He a GOAT. Happy Holidays!

Hope it gets an anime soon
Kind of upset we had a whole video about waifus but never mentioned the OG Tenchi Muyo the Ryoko vs Ayeka best girl debate is timeless!
How was it even a debate, the answer was Mihoshi.
Answer is always Washu!
my boi here with the 1.000.000 IQ explanation about the simps

Ahh this is why shows like Monster will never be widely known. Waifus and Husbados drive the industry.
Johan is best girl tho
@@fauziomudiue2443 good one!
Monster is my favourite manga of all time. Anime was okay tho
immediately clenched my jaw when he started talking about "a dog and a little girl in the same room" so, he was right
Curt-a dog...
Me-Don’t say it
Curt-....and a little girl
Me-you RAT BASTARD
...I’ve never seen Full Metal Alchemist so idk what this is about
Yo Adrian really said "why you bully me"
Me and Curt bully each other - it’s how things are kept balanced in this world. -Adrian
Curt has one of those model beards you definitely see on facial hair product ads
All I kept thinking is how can I get this man in touch with a grooming kit?
This is Dollar Shave Club GOLD. Curt is the 'Before" in every trimmer ad.
Imma grow a beard fuck it
Curt + Adrian = gold
Curt's future kid finding him on the internet is gonna be a story 🤣🤣
*rezero s2 drops*
rem stans: WE STILL THE BEST!
emila stans: shut up, thats why she in a coma.
beatrice stans: we just be chilling.
Echidna: stans: lemme just... take that first place, thank you.
When he riped that paper... i felt that :(
When I heard Curt mention hastume miku I was shouting “I FUCKING KNEW HE WOULD MENTION THAT” therefore waking up my mum
*Oh no...*
_On the flipside, at least it's christmas? Or Hannukah?_
curts stories are so tragic, but that's what makes them so funny lmao.
The amount of reference to Quintessential Quintuplets is enormous but very well appreciated.
Simping for waifus might just be the move
are we gonna get like a best of the year like we did in 2019
2020 doesnt deserve a "best of" video....
@@k.olimitless723 it does for anime💁🏿♀️
@@odyezeigwe1869 yeah I guess anime does, but it will be the only "best of" 2020 will ever see😂😂

2:18 curt has entered the level of the guy who married his bike
After his anime greef he was close now he's moved closer to the red zone
I really wanted to mention him in this but I couldn't find the clip
*Checks watch* wow, took a whole 90 seconds for Curt to throw Adrian under the re:zero simp bus. I expected sooner

As long as I can show my friends and family that im not completely weird
16:10 Love is expensive dude.
Always has been
I love how honest curt is it’s awesome
Just absolutely love how genuinely awkward Curt feels in these videos 😂😂
Kurt, just to be clear - we *love* you. Keep doing what you love! Awesome vid as always, love the analysis, links and breakdown!

God curts videos are always so good

my simping being backed by science is exactly what I needed in 2020

We have one! It’s called Beyond the Botcast, and it’s available on several places. -Adrian
@@BeyondTheBot thanks!
When Curt host, I instantly smile and start laugh because it going to be good one.
Im such a degenerate that Curt’s videos are always my favorite on the channel
I really love the vibe of this vid.
Tfw I’ve read and still remember the first paper in this video from my creative industries program 😲 Great video as always and happy holidays!

You can 100% tell how uncomfortable he is and it’s hilarious

Honestly... Curt is ranking pretty high on my Waifu tier list (animated Curt of course)
Correction: Husbando?
@@spideykong777 I said what I said
the way youtube shows baby deku as the preview to a video about simping waifus *greatly* upsets me
RIP UA-cam FEATURES
13:39 is that a JoJo part 3 manga I see
I love curt he like a really good freind and when I watch his videos it like talking to a good freindv
On the subject of anime eyes, i draw the line at Clannad, making them more exaggerated than that is cursed.
Curtis always with the REAL important topics
Ps: emilia IS trash
Am I the only one who notice the genuine glee Curt had throughout the video. He got it bad for Rem.... Me too Curt, me too
just came back to say I just finished Miss kobayashi because of this video.
It was amazing. Thank you.
Rem is best girl, btw.
That went through a lot of topics from psychology to economics, but I still feel a bit sad afterwards.
I could weep, honestly it wrecked me when Get in the Robot shut down mid pandemic so glad this existed

Am I wrong? LOL -Adrian

Where’d you get that hoodie 👀👀👀
Curt and Cdawg would prolly bond because of Rem
ok but OMG THANK YOU, i love the scientific research, excuse me, thank you, wow
I can be smart sometimes
I just really got into anime during quarantine but y’all be soooo into it Lmaooo 🤣💀
I never knew I needed to hear Curt explain Waifu's.
6:25 BRUH
5:01 waifuism is just an extreme/intense parasocial relationship, just like falling in love legitimately with anime charactyers
"I filled half form" tsk tsk, fear of commitment!
ok, it wasn't because I didn't want to, but it was literally in all japanese
Curts a legend
Finally. My best Guy😘😘😘
Spending money on waifus reminds me of an Aggretsuko Season 2 episode where Retsuko spent constantly on micro-transactions to go on dates and buy clothes for her VR boyfriend xD
