Neo Yokio is like Ghost Stories dub. It's a big abridged series. All those glorious one liners gives me hope. "My boyfriend is the DJ and he spins Gregorian house." "I CAN SEE YOU BITCH!" "Man, racer so full of themselves" "Humility will only slow them down". "COCO CHANNEL, MAY HER MEMORY REST IN PEACE." "You cuckcoo banana!" "Are we homies?" But yeah, it's jumping from one part too much. If this get S2, I hope they explore what the hell is happening. We get Shia Labeuf too if it's popular enough to be on S2...
MetalCrow448 It's just the shit i was expecting. I watched the clip before I went to watch everything and thought, "Do they really say this on the show?" They do. Ghost Stories dub is famous for lampooning the original, but Neo Yokio is on whole new level because IT IS already the original. It's a new level of ridiculous, because you can't abridged this series, the series IS abridged already. I said Ghost Stories better tho, Neo Yokio needs to be more train wreck.
MetalCrow448 Dude, the show is personification of Jaden Smith twitter. Some of the words even get into the show. I'm not even sure if they're being serious or just make an anime to have fun. Looking at the VA, how the hell they accept it as a job still a question. Then again, we need to ask Vampire Weekend vocalist whether he makes it bad on purpose or not.
Are these just not to my sense of humor, or are these funnier with the voice acting and context/lack of context? I dunno, but I'm not convinced about the quality of this show.
So, Ezra Koenig (ambassador of Cape Cod) is the preppiest man who wants everyone to know about his Ivy League education but also wants everyone to know he’s cool and smokes weed. And I love him and his fucking great. Also, Vampire Weekend is pretty fucking good. And you’ll understand why this show is the way it is a little bit more if you check them out possibly, maybe.
And that's why I love best guy ever, he doesn't just jump onto a hate bandwagon. He drop kicks the driver in the face, hijacks said wagon and starts running people over till they get woke.
Best Guy, I think you're underselling the complexity in Neo Yokio. You talk about the sudden reveal of the slums like it's bad writing, but it's really not. We don't know about how poorly the lower class lives because Kaz doesn't know about how poorly the lower class lives. Kaz lives in a bubble in the same way the viewer is made to live in a bubble. In episode 1, when Kaz exorcised Helena, he ends up accidentally cracking the glass dome she lives in, which causes her to go from a fashion blogger to an anti-capitalist hikikomori. He literally burst her bubble, or, more specifically, the demon possessing her burst her bubble (the fact that their street appears to be flooded and that the people living their would rather live in waterproof bubbles than move is a visual representation of their inability to acknowledge a problem and accept change). One bit of subtext that everyone I've seen has failed to pick up on is that the "demons" are poor people. Whether they're a metaphor for poor people or the actual ghosts of poor people, I can't say because I'm not the author, but there's clearly some parallels and clues there. Helena only changed her ways after the demon possessed her, thus introducing the idea that the poor are suffering. Keep in mind that, for all intents and purposes, she might as well have been in a coma while she was possessed. No outside stimulus was provided to her that would make her change her ways, but if the demon really understood the plight of the poor, then it would stand to reason that those ideas would end up in Helena's head. And remember how she was in the hospital in episode 2? Her dad says it was because she "took a little tumble down the stairs". He says this so casually and is so quick to disregard his daughter's well being after his wife says snacks are ready that it's clear he doesn't care, and was most likely the one who pushed her down those stairs when she started her anti-capitalist talk. In episode 2, we also meet Sailor Pellegrino, who ends up as Kaz's date to the black and white ball. When Kaz says he has to work at the ball, she says she doesn't care about that as long as she can go with him, and that there's no shame in working for a living. This is a surprisingly reasonable thing to say, which makes it even more surprising when she turns out to be a demon. Surprising, unless you consider the idea that demons are actually poor people, in which case it makes perfect sense that she'd treat Kaz's working for a living as an okay thing, when everyone else mocks him for it. There's other little details, too, like how the demons in the first 2 episodes were possessing Helena's custom-made designer clothes and disguised as a pop star to feed on the upper-class's celebrity worship. The fact that Sailor Pellegrino possessed a diamond-encrusted human skull is a metaphor in and of itself, but it's an actual art piece that's often been criticized in the art community as a flagrant display of wealth, and is ironically worth more than the diamonds used to encrust it. In episode 3, Kaz even drops a line about the French hating demons even more than Neo Yokians, which seems like just a weird joke about how [insert nationality here] is weird, but when you consider that France also has a reputation as a high-class, fancy country, it makes more sense why they'd hate demons, who are angry proletariat spirits out for revenge. This idea of demons as poor people is even buried in the idea of "rat catchers". Why are the Magistocrats called "rat catchers" when there's really no parallels between demons and rats? Well, there is. The "rats" are street rats. Poor people who were trod upon by the rich in life and are out for revenge in death. The rich ignore the poor/demons until they're a problem in the same way that we ignore rats until there's one in the pantry. The bachelor billboard thing is a way to keep the rich under control. Kaz and Arcangelo constantly fight and compete, but as soon as the billboard is destroyed, Arcangelo wants to be friends with Kaz, and even helps Kaz smuggle Helena out of the city. The fact of the matter is that Kaz, Arcangelo, and all of the other top bachelors are popular, handsome, charismatic men who could easily rally people to their cause if they were to suddenly have a cause to rally people to. The billboard is so important because it keeps them in a constant dick measuring contest where they care more about a meaningless title than their own fellow man. It's worth noting that Kaz is mostly a good kid, but he has a lot of growing up to do. Episode 4 had him neglect Charles and sexually assault Lexi, but he did so out of ignorance and skewed priorities. Episode 6 had him competing in a potentially deadly race to save Helena, despite the fact that the Soviet racer already ran off and Kaz had nothing to personally gain. The whole series was about Kaz sinking deeper and deeper into his swamp of materialism, but with a glimmer of hope for redemption, which may come in season 2. If there ever is a season 2, I theorize that it'll be about Kaz exploring communism, although it likely won't be a blatant endorsement of communism. The race in episode 6 had Kaz wearing Soviet racing gear, which could be a metaphor for rich kids wearing communism as a fashion statement without really understanding what it means. This is also the state Kaz is in when he's confronted with the reality of how shitty the poor have it. What you said about it neither endorsing communism nor capitalism is true, but I think that's the point. Neither ideology is perfect, and capitalism just seems perfect to Kaz and all of the other main characters because they're on the top and not the bottom. Neo Yokio is very deep and intellectual and doesn't paint things in a black and white way. I think your comparison to Totally Spies is actually very spot on, because many pseudo-anime from the early 2000's, including Totally Spies, are about a teenager/group of teenagers trying to save the world while also maintaining their social life. Neo Yokio takes this concept and goes crazy with it, making Kaz into a socialite who cares about his social status more than anything. The fact that it looks like a shitty early 2000's pseudo-anime is clearly intentional, since it invokes more tropes from that than it does from actual anime. I could write about this brilliant work of art for hours and still have more to say, but the point is that before you dismiss some aspects as "bad writing", maybe take a closer look at what those so-called "mistakes" are trying to say. The fact that you can appreciate this pile of absolute brilliance at least says that you're not totally hopeless, but you have much to learn before you can ascend to my level of intellect and appreciate Neo Yokio in its full glory.
For a shitpost, this raises some legitimately interesting points. I'm catching myself unironically wondering sometimes if that interview people are pointing to is even valid. I mean, what if the creator is telling people there's no hidden meaning so that it has more of an impact if there is one down the line? This show is the weirdest fucking thing on right now, since in almost every aspect, it's trash and feels like Ghost Stories with the quality of writing, as if it's one huge shitpost. But then with how terrible they've made almost every major character, I can't help but think there HAS to be more to this show- how could anyone produce something like this that features so much tone-deaf pompousness? Why would they bring up the issues they have? Honestly, at this point, I don't even want a season 2 because I like the show- I want a season 2 to find out if it really is just complete tone-deaf trash or if it was pulling the classic "I was only PRETENDING to be retarded" card.
The left turn isn't that surprising or awkward. It's like Fahrenheit 451, where the latter elements come in kind of quickly. The second to last episode has an illusion break. The Russian driver is also an allusion to this. Even though Kaz experiences all the stuff and he still isn't fully woke at the end in his final lines, still a sheep. And even then he's still in the dystopia at the end not realizing its dystopian, because he's in the part of the society that is doing well despite it. It's like showing poor people why rich people don't help them. It explains itself.
A couple points about Neo Yokio's critique of capitalism that you may have overlooked while watching it. Introducing the whole "we don't care about the slum people" at the last minute out of nowhere seemed intentional to me. The aristocracy lives in its own little bubble and a wee lil sadboy like Kaz doesn't see outside of his own social circles enough to be aware of the troubles of other classes. You as the viewer are watching from Kaz's perspective so you get the same experience. (good writing choice? you're right, probably not) Yes, capitalism is great for the parts of Neo Yokio that Kaz and the viewer spend time in, but just like irl capitalism it requires many more people living in poverty to sustain a relatively small number of aristocrats living in opulence. These impoverished masses go largely unseen by the aristocrats. The Soviet driver's only view of capitalism is inside that aristocratic bubble so it would make sense that she would then believe that capitalism is amazing, even if the show's writers aren't trying to say that's true. I'm not saying Neo Yokio makes the best critique of capitalism but I think it did a better job than you give it credit for. It definitely could have been more clear what they were going for, but I don't think I'm reading too far into it to claim that this is at least what they were Trying to say.
i was very passionate about being a gentleman I came off as being anti relationship as I learned more about it. i even got rid of my southern accident to speak better.
Also I think the Soviet episode was meant to be a wider commentary on anime that comment on social issues in a forced way, the "Russians/Soviets" gag kind of felt like a tip to that.
One thing I would say about this show that puts it into perspective is that it's kind of an aesthetic show. Not as in it looks cool, but as in the joke is ambient, it's the setting, the first joke it tells is that it even exists like what is this. It doesn't just have jokes in it, it has an aura of jokes that kind of spikes into tangible jokes at certain moments which may not be an explicit gag but just a thematic juxtaposition. Maybe I'm reading too much into it though...
The opening and ending noises were really good. Totally happy if you stick with those. Galaxy S5 is a brick that won't die and my preferred method of reading manga.
I had to take a double take to make sure this wasnt a lie, im glad you tackled this video. GG MY Do0o0o0oDDDD!! Funny as balls as always, really, your script writing material is the best. While i'm at work your charismatic persona i try to imitate and i gotta say, the light hearted, smart ass, assertive tone is pretty funny.
Alright. You're the best guy ever. "if all options are shit what are we suppose to chose?" is a question that literally every society ever for time im memoriam is asking forever and always. This isn't bad writing it's though provoking. While being hilariously tasty shit.
Solid review. Also, the capitalist critiques are all throughout the show; the underwater half of the city (Climate Change), the worship of materialism and celebrity, that leader board (NewYork Stock Exchange) that ranks the men according to their worth, even what the demons say (☭). The show has been hinting at some pretty radical ideals, I'm actually really excited to see where the show goes. Also, "Stuff" is not an indication of success. Neo Yokio looks nice, but once you scratch pass the surface you can see the massive problems and inequality. As for the Soviet character, being that she from what we can assume is Soviet Russia she's probably never seen so many expensive commodities in one place before. Russia was a very poor country and the revolution saw the country (and its people) grow both in wealth and material conditions.
So I guess we can actually call Neo Yokio as "Retarded fanfiction liberal commie-tier americanized shit for brainless hamburger-zombies". - Taken from the most intelligentest people on MAL. Also, new wallpaper: 22:46 Also, I'm still trying to find a good enough NSFW sound made by the No Longer Hobo Brony Jesus aka Digi.
I'm sure this'll get buried, but I strongly encourage anyone who hasn't to give Ezra Koenig's music a shot. Haven't seen this show and probably won't for a while, but I started listening to Vampire Weekend in like 2010 and have probably spent more hours with their music than I have with any other artist. Reviews of Neo-Yokio have been pretty polar from what I've seen, but I think the general consensus among critics and fans is that Ezra is an excellent songwriter & lyricist. The band's image, after their 2008 self-titled release, became associated with a sort of Ivy-league/prep-school, WASP-y vibe that I think haunts the band to this day, and it's hard to tell whether the band intended to display their "culture" so proudly or if this was a side-effect of bad direction. It definitely contributed to the initial buzz around the band. But their music and lyrics tell a slightly different story; songs like "The Ladies of Cambridge" or "Walcott" off their debut aren't exactly satirical, but they do get a lot of mileage out of songs that mock the rigidity of Northeastern old money family (i.e. "privilege"). Ezra's lyrics in particular reminded me of like F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby, playfully needling society for its outdated, exclusive customs instead of just outright dissing it. I'm definitely nerdy about this band, but if I am it's because they had such a profound impact on me as a teenager, and I feel like I've grown with the music and have experienced how the world changes along with it. Hopefully some reviewer will eventually cover Neo-Yokio from the perspective of a VW fan, because I think a lot of people are simply put off by the introduction of this big, uncomfortable "anime" world as people were who picked up on the initial hype and listened to the band's first album without the proper context. Wish I could say something original about the show, but I probably won't watch it for the time being. I've been a big fan of this channel for a while (I was drawn in with the Reddit crowd by the Gal-ko video), and don't watch much anime or post comments, but I've began following the Procrastinators and have enjoyed all of the content Nate's made so far (MIAMAFV even got my hooked on Joanna Newsom so this is just me trying to return the favor). My advice for anyone who hasn't heard "A-Punk" (and you probably have, in a Walmart or something!) to give it a shot, and then bring up "Step" or "Diane Young" and maybe give them a spin. If you've got the patience, I recommend listening to the albums in chronological order, at the very least I bet you'll walk away with a different opinion on the show than you had before.
You've given praise to fooly cooly at least once and that made me come back for more and now you have on a fooly cooly shirt!!! You might just be the best guy ever. The only way that you could attain the level of a "my favorite youtuber that has ascended past my favorite youtuber," aka you2ber, is to make a video about fooly cooly
Very good video and VERY GOOD CRITICISM!!! Most other people just don't get this show at all and label it as shit. I do think everyone is wrong about Jayden's performance though, I think his laid back delivery of his lines fits Kaz Kann's character perfectly, I laugh every time he opens his mouth.
AIght, Nate. Just because of you, I'll give Neo Yokio a shot; I went from thinking it was a steaming pile of garbage to thinking it was just Jaden's shit post in anime form.
To me Neo Yokio is like what would happen if a western kid from the 90s and early 2000s got to make the anime they came up with in middle school. The character designs are reminiscent of those bad how to draw anime books, and the story is fanfic style writing about a self-absorbed kid with superpowers. Heck even the voice acting is a jab at the dubs from that era. If you were the kind of kid who grew up in the U.S. and had a dumb idea for an anime then this is for you. A lot of the people who aren't into it probably don't have that backstory.
Neo yokio is probably the ultimate invocation of poe's law. No one knows whether it's parody or shit or irony. Everyone generally agrees that it's entertaining tho.
I agree dude, the show is not a masterpiece but its not trash like some of the anime "fans" that try their best at at critique. there are some other angles of defending this show. Angelo is the best bro. Yo.
This is exactly the video I needed among the slew of more negative opinions of this show. I've never seen Neo Yokio but from a distance something about the show works for me. I'm excited to start watching it.
Best pieces of dialogue 2017: *Good thing I brought my vape* _Kaz... I gotta go... snacks are ready_ *Do you live here or something [in the suit store]* _I wish I did_ _You don't deserve this big Toblerone_ *I CAN SEE YOU BITCH*
That scene where Charles says that Neo Yokio doesn’t care about its poor citizens is actually Helena in the mech suit. That’s why it’s so out of place.
Arcangelo is literally one of the greatest characters to ever exist. Every moment he was on screen was a gift.
I 1000% agree
Yea it was 😍
>"Whoa! What a left turn we just took."
>Shows video of them taking a right turn
Perfect
It was so left that it was right again.
>Mixing up navy blue and midnight blue
never invite nate to a black and white ball
Why do people keep putting the > sign in youtube comments? This isn't 4chan it literally doesn't do anything lol
+Astral Turtle They try to be hip or something similar. Its like a backwards baseball cap. Its annoying.
NuclearUnicorn7 aren't they the same?
NuclearUnicorn7 “I can see you bitch”
Neo Yokio is like Ghost Stories dub. It's a big abridged series. All those glorious one liners gives me hope.
"My boyfriend is the DJ and he spins Gregorian house."
"I CAN SEE YOU BITCH!"
"Man, racer so full of themselves" "Humility will only slow them down".
"COCO CHANNEL, MAY HER MEMORY REST IN PEACE."
"You cuckcoo banana!"
"Are we homies?"
But yeah, it's jumping from one part too much. If this get S2, I hope they explore what the hell is happening.
We get Shia Labeuf too if it's popular enough to be on S2...
MetalCrow448 It's just the shit i was expecting. I watched the clip before I went to watch everything and thought, "Do they really say this on the show?" They do.

Then again, we need to ask Vampire Weekend vocalist whether he makes it bad on purpose or not.
Are these just not to my sense of humor, or are these funnier with the voice acting and context/lack of context? I dunno, but I'm not convinced about the quality of this show.
That's exactly why I love this show
that's assuming shia isn't in jail at the time
Neo Yokio is just a giant toblerones ad
Ironic shitposting is still shitposting.
Arrakiz666 Ok
So, Ezra Koenig (ambassador of Cape Cod) is the preppiest man who wants everyone to know about his Ivy League education but also wants everyone to know he’s cool and smokes weed. And I love him and his fucking great. Also, Vampire Weekend is pretty fucking good. And you’ll understand why this show is the way it is a little bit more if you check them out possibly, maybe.
If neo yokio did anything good it's that I went and got some toblerone, and it's amazing.
And that's why I love best guy ever, he doesn't just jump onto a hate bandwagon. He drop kicks the driver in the face, hijacks said wagon and starts running people over till they get woke.
Nice try you are still asleep and have your heads firmly shoved up your pretentious rear ends.
🔥W.O.K.E👌
Best Guy, I think you're underselling the complexity in Neo Yokio.

The only good thing about this show is its taste in luxury chocolate

Luxury? Nigga toblerones cost like 3 dollars
Nate, when are you going to stop being a meme?
When he does I unsubscribe.
Kergen185 sometimes he can feel like the thatistheplan (rip) of anime. But I dig it.
Kergen185 is HE a MEME?
The left turn isn't that surprising or awkward. It's like Fahrenheit 451, where the latter elements come in kind of quickly. The second to last episode has an illusion break.

I personally like to use the desktop for watching anime and reading manga. I get more focused on things on the desktop than the mobile screen
I like this week's WIAGW noise
I don’t understand how anyone can say this show is “bad”. I loved every minute of it.
You know what Nate? You don’t deserve this big Toblerone.
A couple points about Neo Yokio's critique of capitalism that you may have overlooked while watching it.
Introducing the whole "we don't care about the slum people" at the last minute out of nowhere seemed intentional to me. The aristocracy lives in its own little bubble and a wee lil sadboy like Kaz doesn't see outside of his own social circles enough to be aware of the troubles of other classes. You as the viewer are watching from Kaz's perspective so you get the same experience. (good writing choice? you're right, probably not)
Yes, capitalism is great for the parts of Neo Yokio that Kaz and the viewer spend time in, but just like irl capitalism it requires many more people living in poverty to sustain a relatively small number of aristocrats living in opulence. These impoverished masses go largely unseen by the aristocrats. The Soviet driver's only view of capitalism is inside that aristocratic bubble so it would make sense that she would then believe that capitalism is amazing, even if the show's writers aren't trying to say that's true.
I'm not saying Neo Yokio makes the best critique of capitalism but I think it did a better job than you give it credit for. It definitely could have been more clear what they were going for, but I don't think I'm reading too far into it to claim that this is at least what they were Trying to say.
You know the best hikki girl mad respect you are clearly enlightened in your ways of a refined gentleman
[Insert Generic Toblerone Joke Here]
Xfighter that joke deserves a giant Toblerone
What would a generic toblerone joke even look like?
Are you making fun of big toblerone jokes? You know what, you don't deserve this big toblerone.
i was very passionate about being a gentleman I came off as being anti relationship as I learned more about it. i even got rid of my southern accident to speak better.
Neo Yokio is either the most ingenius satire or the most ridiculously stupid thing I've ever seen, and I can't tell which it is. I love it.
Finally someone who is not jumping on hate train and adequately judges this show for what it is.
Also I think the Soviet episode was meant to be a wider commentary on anime that comment on social issues in a forced way, the "Russians/Soviets" gag kind of felt like a tip to that.
At least this show brought us gems like "You don't deserve this big Toblerone." and "It's a good thing I brought my vape."
One thing I would say about this show that puts it into perspective is that it's kind of an aesthetic show. Not as in it looks cool, but as in the joke is ambient, it's the setting, the first joke it tells is that it even exists like what is this. It doesn't just have jokes in it, it has an aura of jokes that kind of spikes into tangible jokes at certain moments which may not be an explicit gag but just a thematic juxtaposition. Maybe I'm reading too much into it though...
So is this show just the Sharknado of anime?
that might be the best metaphor i've seen for it.
I would personally say the room
It's its own abridged series.
No, it's the Room of anime.
no ways this show is way better, its not all visuals
Neo yokio is on a superior level and if u say its bad ure bad
What system do we go with when all of them are shit ? It's just like real life.
Never seen a weeaboo so charismatic...
Cal Damn that comment made me woke as fuck.
Does anyone else see that joke above us? It's soaring through the sky like a jet
No it's a bird.
You changing your shirt on "I wanna be the caprese boi too!" made me lose my shit. Good gag. 10/10
The opening and ending noises were really good. Totally happy if you stick with those. Galaxy S5 is a brick that won't die and my preferred method of reading manga.
Big Toblerone!!!!!!!!
Best Guy talking about Neo Yokio? YES.
Honestly if this show didn't fit my absurd/awkward humour sense i'd hate it. but its so funny i was legitimately excited to keep watching
YO, TOTALLY SPIES AND KAPPA MIKEY WERE FUCKING DOPE.
I had to take a double take to make sure this wasnt a lie, im glad you tackled this video. GG MY Do0o0o0oDDDD!! Funny as balls as always, really, your script writing material is the best. While i'm at work your charismatic persona i try to imitate and i gotta say, the light hearted, smart ass, assertive tone is pretty funny.
Neo Yokio is what 'One Punch Man' wants to be when it grows up.
Thank you Nate for showing the people what this show TRULY is: The sequel to Ghost Stories
glad we agree on so many points BestGuy, also you're dapper as funk
Totally Spies porn is the best.
William Henning way to throw me back to being ,12 again
Jonathan Joestar would roll over in his ocean at the sight of Kaz trying to be a gentleman.
On the nose with that Totally Spies reference, best anime ever.
To make this video complete you need to change “ intellectual” to intalectuwal.
Finally a fellow Gentlemen who can appreciate refined taste *clangs 1,000 year old Budwieser*
I keep getting spooked by that Clinton popping back up from under Neo Yokio
I thought for the longest time that your picture of the forest in the background was Vildhjarta's first album cover "Masstaden".
"You and me, baby boy" made my heart melt a little. You really are the best guy ever ❤
Alright. You're the best guy ever.
"if all options are shit what are we suppose to chose?" is a question that literally every society ever for time im memoriam is asking forever and always.
This isn't bad writing it's though provoking. While being hilariously tasty shit.
BGE may not be the Caprese Boy, but he's probably the Toblerone Boy
Solid review. Also, the capitalist critiques are all throughout the show; the underwater half of the city (Climate Change), the worship of materialism and celebrity, that leader board (NewYork Stock Exchange) that ranks the men according to their worth, even what the demons say (☭). The show has been hinting at some pretty radical ideals, I'm actually really excited to see where the show goes.
Also, "Stuff" is not an indication of success. Neo Yokio looks nice, but once you scratch pass the surface you can see the massive problems and inequality. As for the Soviet character, being that she from what we can assume is Soviet Russia she's probably never seen so many expensive commodities in one place before. Russia was a very poor country and the revolution saw the country (and its people) grow both in wealth and material conditions.
So I guess we can actually call Neo Yokio as "Retarded fanfiction liberal commie-tier americanized shit for brainless hamburger-zombies". - Taken from the most intelligentest people on MAL.
Also, new wallpaper: 22:46
Also, I'm still trying to find a good enough NSFW sound made by the No Longer Hobo Brony Jesus aka Digi.
I'm sure this'll get buried, but I strongly encourage anyone who hasn't to give Ezra Koenig's music a shot. Haven't seen this show and probably won't for a while, but I started listening to Vampire Weekend in like 2010 and have probably spent more hours with their music than I have with any other artist. Reviews of Neo-Yokio have been pretty polar from what I've seen, but I think the general consensus among critics and fans is that Ezra is an excellent songwriter & lyricist. The band's image, after their 2008 self-titled release, became associated with a sort of Ivy-league/prep-school, WASP-y vibe that I think haunts the band to this day, and it's hard to tell whether the band intended to display their "culture" so proudly or if this was a side-effect of bad direction. It definitely contributed to the initial buzz around the band. But their music and lyrics tell a slightly different story; songs like "The Ladies of Cambridge" or "Walcott" off their debut aren't exactly satirical, but they do get a lot of mileage out of songs that mock the rigidity of Northeastern old money family (i.e. "privilege"). Ezra's lyrics in particular reminded me of like F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby, playfully needling society for its outdated, exclusive customs instead of just outright dissing it.
I'm definitely nerdy about this band, but if I am it's because they had such a profound impact on me as a teenager, and I feel like I've grown with the music and have experienced how the world changes along with it. Hopefully some reviewer will eventually cover Neo-Yokio from the perspective of a VW fan, because I think a lot of people are simply put off by the introduction of this big, uncomfortable "anime" world as people were who picked up on the initial hype and listened to the band's first album without the proper context. Wish I could say something original about the show, but I probably won't watch it for the time being. I've been a big fan of this channel for a while (I was drawn in with the Reddit crowd by the Gal-ko video), and don't watch much anime or post comments, but I've began following the Procrastinators and have enjoyed all of the content Nate's made so far (MIAMAFV even got my hooked on Joanna Newsom so this is just me trying to return the favor). My advice for anyone who hasn't heard "A-Punk" (and you probably have, in a Walmart or something!) to give it a shot, and then bring up "Step" or "Diane Young" and maybe give them a spin. If you've got the patience, I recommend listening to the albums in chronological order, at the very least I bet you'll walk away with a different opinion on the show than you had before.
So are you telling me that Neo Yokio is basically just an animated Supreme Gentleman sequel?
You've given praise to fooly cooly at least once and that made me come back for more and now you have on a fooly cooly shirt!!! You might just be the best guy ever. The only way that you could attain the level of a "my favorite youtuber that has ascended past my favorite youtuber," aka you2ber, is to make a video about fooly cooly
Hold on a sec, I need some chocolate. I'm going to go buy some Kit Kats.
the way you describe everything in this makes me interested in the show ill have to give it ago
I like that you chanced outfits during the episode. Thought it was a good goof.
Very good video and VERY GOOD CRITICISM!!! Most other people just don't get this show at all and label it as shit. I do think everyone is wrong about Jayden's performance though, I think his laid back delivery of his lines fits Kaz Kann's character perfectly, I laugh every time he opens his mouth.
cosmonauts video on this is the only video that matters
Anime is a Japanese colloquialism
I actually love this video. Everyone is saying the same shit, interesting to see it from a ne and possibly more accurate perspective
Oh Jesus, the "talent" from Vampire Weekend was behind this? That explains *so* much.
AIght, Nate. Just because of you, I'll give Neo Yokio a shot; I went from thinking it was a steaming pile of garbage to thinking it was just Jaden's shit post in anime form.
Sounds like a soild show
Edit: Need season 2 NOW
Nate. My boy. My guy. My dude. I'm sorry but Neo Yokio is only entertaining when you are lit af.
Alannah you forget that Nate is always lit
🔥LIT👌
Or if you understand the jokes and you should probably see someone if your only can enjoy things when your high you might have an serious problem
Could this rival cory in the house in terms of best anime with a black man? Could it rival zack and cody for best comedy anime?
Jfc the possibilities
Cake# what’s jfc?
Payton Holmes Jesus fucking christ
Am I the only one that just now realised that Nate is built as fuck?
i swear to god i will get my wiagw noise in this series even if it kills me
To me Neo Yokio is like what would happen if a western kid from the 90s and early 2000s got to make the anime they came up with in middle school. The character designs are reminiscent of those bad how to draw anime books, and the story is fanfic style writing about a self-absorbed kid with superpowers. Heck even the voice acting is a jab at the dubs from that era. If you were the kind of kid who grew up in the U.S. and had a dumb idea for an anime then this is for you. A lot of the people who aren't into it probably don't have that backstory.
Neo yokio is probably the ultimate invocation of poe's law. No one knows whether it's parody or shit or irony. Everyone generally agrees that it's entertaining tho.
I agree dude, the show is not a masterpiece but its not trash like some of the anime "fans" that try their best at at critique. there are some other angles of defending this show.
Angelo is the best bro. Yo.
Nate: Neo Yokio is not anime
Me: NANI???
Nice to know Toblerone become your patreon.
> Mentions Rixty Minutes
> Still hasn't done the last episode
This is exactly the video I needed among the slew of more negative opinions of this show. I've never seen Neo Yokio but from a distance something about the show works for me. I'm excited to start watching it.
I am sad nobody mentions netflix voltron, It is genuinly good and a good avatar style reboot of the anime.
Best pieces of dialogue 2017:
*Good thing I brought my vape*
_Kaz... I gotta go... snacks are ready_
*Do you live here or something [in the suit store]*
_I wish I did_
_You don't deserve this big Toblerone_
*I CAN SEE YOU BITCH*
Thank you for not hopping on the neo yokio is trash bandwagon you da realest
I like the intro.👌🏽👍🏽🐐🔥
Really like this WIAGW noise
Does the Best Guy Ever deserve that big Toblerone?
Production IG + Studio Deen worked on this...It's anime bro. As much as it hurts to say it.
first time I have ever seen someone reference sayonara zestubou sensei. I feel like no one knows it exists. nice
love you BestGuyEver.
That scene where Charles says that Neo Yokio doesn’t care about its poor citizens is actually Helena in the mech suit. That’s why it’s so out of place.
Thank you, finally someone who actually watched and analyzes the show before slapping the royal"This sucks"
This is a dope review. 👍👍
