Hi, it's me, Don East, and welcome to another edition of Anime Abomination.
Anime Abomination was an anime review series by John West, aka, "Don East
." Unlike most internet reviewers, he uses Linkara's method of reviewing anime one episode per video, with some exceptions. The series ran between 2009 to 2014. Ending when Blip, the video service he used, had went under. However the series lives on through his blog, Don East Unleashed. He also used to live-tweet Toonami shows, but decided to stop watching after the block dropped One Piece and due to a lack of interesting shows. His current project is 50 Weeks of Anime, where he watches a short-running series over every weekend in 2017.
This series, along with Don East's other projects, contain examples of:
- Author Appeal:
- One Piece is a series he'll praise to the high heavens, and he adores Nico Robin.
- He is a fan of Stephanie Sheh, which hardens the blow whenever she voices characters he hates like Kirie or Yui.
- Catchphrase:
- "Hi, it's me, Don East, and welcome to another edition of Anime Abomination," which is his opening line.
- For a while, he would say "[X] is a Go" whenever he live-tweeted shows.
- "Ladies and gentlemen, yes," usually in response to JoJo's Bizarre Adventure.
- Dude, Not Funny!:
- He has this reaction to Ghastly trying to extinguish Charmander's flame, which is known to kill him.
- Another instance was Naruto's treatment for striking Hikaru in his Naruto 3: The Movie review.
- Early-Installment Weirdness: In his earlier reviews, he used to wear a Naruto headband. Later on, he switched it out for Ryu's headband because it was easier to put on.
- Hypocritical Humor: During his Doozy Bots review, he takes offense to the token overweight member of the team always thinking about food, before taking a bite of a chocolate bar.
- In Name Only: The reason he hated Transformers: Energon's depiction of Ironhide as a whiner that sounds like Captain N if he got kicked in the nuts.
