4	[[https://www.youtube.com/user/otakuascendedbackup Tsuki and the Video Master]]. They're a pair of nerds that review anime and episodes of ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' on Website/YouTube. They're also been known to do [[AlternateDVDCommentary web commentaries]] they call "Let's Watch" for the latter, as well as episodes of the ''WesternAnimation/MegaManRubySpears'' cartoon, anime [[OriginalVideoAnimation OVAs]], ''WesternAnimation/FelixTheCatTheMovie'', ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyTheMovie1986'', and ''WesternAnimation/RainbowBrite: The Movie''. They've also been known to run live stream for many varied reasons, whether to stream anime, wrestling, or video games.
5
6	Their usual style is a [[{{blog}} vlog]], but they have been known to veer into (partially) scripted VideoReviewShow territory as well. Overall, the series is peppered with full-on silliness, nerdy references, nerdy jokes, and, well... nerdy ''everything''. They avoid the common AccentuateTheNegative-style reviews, instead focusing on being positive.

9	!! ''The Otaku Ascended'' provides or discusses examples of:
10	%%* ActuallyPrettyFunny: They will admit it when an intended moment of humor actually works in even the worst works they review or Let's Watch.
11	%%* AlternateDVDCommentary: Their Let's Watches.
12	* AndStarring: [[https://www.youtube.com/user/BronyComms Brony Comms]], whenever they crossover with them. They've done this twice, once for the FIM episode, ''Best Night Ever'' and for a [[Anime/SonicTheHedgehogOVA Sonic the Hedgehog OVA]], though that was just Shadrow.
13	%%* AssPull: [[invoked]] They'll call these out wherever they see them, even in works they like.
14	%%* AuthorAppeal: Tons. For one thing, ''My Little Pony'' practically took over the show at one point because the creators just got ''that'' distracted by it.
15	%%* BadBadActing: Without even trying!
16	* BeautyEqualsGoodness: No, this has not escaped their notice, and they point it out anytime they see it, such as in FIM where villains will be designed ugly.
17	%%* BerserkButton:
18	%%** The Video Master is ''not'' a fan of the background pony known as "Daisy"
19	%%** Photo Finish makes his hatred for Daisy look like a crush.
20	* BookEnds: They begin and end each video with this introduction:
21	-->"I'm Tsuki."
22	-->"I'm the Video Master."
23	* BrokenAesop:
24	** Commented on in ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyTheMovie1986'', in which they point out that the witches are the ones who actually struggle and have to work together, whereas all the ponies had done up to that point was run Baby Lickity-Split out of town, so to speak.
25	** The moral of the movie was supposed to be "work together for a better future", or "buy our toys!".
26	* TheBully: Discussed in the FIM episode, ''Griffon The Brush-Up'', where they talk about how bullies tend to be lazily written characters designed only to receive their comeuppance. Neither one is particularly fond of the archetype.
27	%%* CausticCritic:
28	%%** Played straight whenever they watch something that frankly is just terrible.
29	%%** Averted with anything good they watch which will receive appropriate amounts of praise.
30	%%* DidntWeUseThisJokeAlready: Frequently.
31	* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: More recent fans may be used to Tsuki sitting to the left and Video Master on the right will notice right away their positioning was inverted early on. Also, they hadn't come up with any of their usual greetings or other slogans.
32	* FacePalm: Tsuki ''hates'' the pun ''Fillydelphia'' in FIM. He does it so hard, you can ''hear'' it in the Let's Watch it turns up in.
33	%%* {{Fanfiction}}:
34	%%** They did an entire video about it. Pony Fanfiction, no less!
35	%%** And yes, they have commented on both ''Fanfic/CupcakesSergeantSprinkles'' and ''Pattycakes''. They don't like either one.
36	%%* FlatWhat: Frequently in the ''Debutante Detective Agency'' Let's Watch.
37	* FrivolousLawsuit: Most of their commentaries of FIM were flagged, despite the fact that the videos fall under Fair Use. Thankfully, they have a [[https://www.youtube.com/user/OtakuAscendedBackup back-up]].[[note](It was undoubtedly the work of trolls, since the two have also posted commentaries of earlier ''Franchise/MyLittlePony'' works, but those were allowed to stay.)[[/note]]
38	* GuiltyPleasure:
39	** They admit that ''WesternAnimation/RainbowBrite The Movie'' is actually kind of enjoyable.
40	** Tsuki watched ''My Little Pony'' before it was cool. Crosses over with JustHereForGodzilla.
41	** Video Master loves the old Saturday Morning ''WesternAnimation/MegaManRubySpears'' cartoon, despite its MindScrew and SoBadItsGood tendencies.
42	%%* HeterosexualLifePartners: Tsuki and Video Master.
43	* ImperialStormtrooperMarksmanshipAcademy: In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SzMgcTGjFPU&feature=player_profilepage The Last Straw!]], Tsuki attempts to shoot Video Master dead. Despite being just a few feet away, he misses.
44	%%* {{Keet}}: Neither one is an extreme case, but they do have their moments.
45	%%* LampshadeHanging: In "Baby Cakes", they make fun of their tendency to focus on voice actors.
46	* LetsPlay:
47	** Tsuki ran one of a ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros2'' mod which replaced the Mario characters for pony characters on [[https://www.youtube.com/user/BronyTeamLP Brony Team LP's]] Website/YouTube channel.
48	** They did a real one and it's ''F3AR'' or ''FEAR 3'', CO-OP of course.
49	%%* MindScrew: Pretty much ''all'' of ''WesternAnimation/FelixTheCatTheMovie'', and parts of ''WesternAnimation/RainbowBrite: The Movie''.
50	* MoneyDearBoy: [[invoked]] They correctly guess this is reason for so many celebrities offering their voices to ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyTheMovie1986''.
51	* NostalgiaFilter: They point out that the ''Felix the Cat'' and ''Rainbow Brite'' movies aren't that great, but it doesn't stop the two from enjoying them.
52	%%* PlotHole: They love pointing these out.
53	%%* PrecisionFStrike: They're not as bad about swearing as a lot of internet reviewers are, but they will use this every now and again.
54	%%* PrincessesRule: Pointed out in FIM, ''Felix the Cat: The Movie'', and ''Rainbow Brite: The Movie''. They don't mind it, however.
55	%%* RedOniBlueOni: Tsuki tends to be Red while the Video Master tends to more reserved, relatively speaking. You could argue it's more of a case of Tsuki just being more {{Keet}} than Video Master.
56	* RunningGag: During their live stream Let's Watch of ''[[Manga/KimagureOrangeRoad Shin Kimagure Orange Road: Summer's Beginning]]'', the chat made cracks about Madoka being [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Human Octavia]], so the guys ran with it.
57	* SanitySlippage: Apparently, if the Video Master spends too much time watching something, he'll end up ''thinking'' he's a character in it. As evidenced in one video when he spent all night watching old episodes of the Mega Man cartoon and ends up attacking someone ringing on his and Tsuki's doorbell.
58	* SelfDeprecation: Their own logo says "''Stupidity Ahoy!''"
59	%%* SincerityMode: The mode most of their videos fall into, since they're a vlog.
60	%%* SoBadItsGood: [[invoked]] How they view ''Felix the Cat: The Movie'' and some others.
61	%%* SoOkayItsAverage: InUniverse: What they thought of the ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyTVSpecials''.
62	%%* ThoseTwoGuys: Tsuki and the Video Master, themselves.
63	* VideoReviewShow: Attempted a few times before they gave up and returned to being a vlog.
64	%%* WeAreExperiencingTechnicalDifficulties: The RealLife variety, which sometimes causes [[ScheduleSlip schedule slips]].
