Heh. That's not at all possible. Unless it is.

Really, the first clue there should have been "I read it on Tumblr." Tumblr gossip about e-celebs is usually never true, and one should not assume it is true until some actually proof comes about. This is a silly one that is abject nonsense.

iRawss posted his latest review, Path of the Wind. I must say, I quite dig his show. He reviews cheesy "inspirational" Christian movies which, not surprisingly, turn out to be extremely riffable. I'd say this episode is a good introduction to Good Hook, since it's much funnier than the previous two he posted on TGWTG; he also seems much more confident in front of a camera. And the next movie he's reviewing looks like something out of Diamanda's territory. (God, the voice acting...)

One of the new talents also posted debut video: Shark Jumping's analysis of Saved by the Bell. The show tackles TV shows and tries to find out when they exactly jumped the shark. It is... yeah, it just is, at least for now. Nothing particularly interesting or insighful, and the hosts are kind of annoying. We'll see if it gets better.

This is especially true given the introduction of those Chez contributors, particularly Dan Olson but also Rantasmo and Jill Bearup. None of them are exactly blasé moderates.

Now, I will say that JesuOtaku has taken a pretty hardline stance against asinine fans, but that's not the same as having a "falling out" with other contributors.

^^He apparently reviews actually Lifetime movies and not just Christian movies or something?

His material seems to everything that is "inspirational" in some way. Which apparently includes Jesus Christ: Vampire Hunter, for some reason.

Boys of Valor looks like something I must watch. Animation is as rough as Max and Mindy or The Silver Circle!

Marzgurl and her husband want completing the FamiKamen Rider project JewWario worked on.

Didn't know she was married.

I—

—Da— there! I was JUST about to!

I wish I could figure out a way to help. I'm local, but the only thing I could conceivable help with would be limited manpower...

On the next installment of The Blockbuster Buster, E-Rod pays tribute to even more voices in our favorite cartoons (again). It's The Top Voice-Over Actors Vol. 3: The Revenge!

Next week: Evil Dead (2013) Pros n' Cons.

EDIT: Geez, I kinda wish he'd talk about V As like Johnny Yong Bosch and Todd Haberkorn…

But the guy hates anime and they mainly do anime, so what can a guy do?

Are you a really big fan of this person or does he pay you to put those up? Because you sound like you're advertising and there's no variation in tone with your posts.

My theory is that he's a Sock Puppet, and not a great one.

E-rod, if you're reading this: Hagan shows up as herself here, as do Slowbeef and David Morgan-Mar in their respective threads. No shame in not hiding.

<_< So you guys think he faked that one time he went ballistic about Erod disliking something he liked?

Seriously people, is it that hard to believe that Erod might have one fan on TVT who feels that he needs to advertise his stuff every time it comes up on TGWTG? You guys are being insulting by assuming hes a sock puppet

The fishy part is the unchanging tone. But he could just have a formula for these things. And he posts in other threads so sockpuppet unlikely.

Maybe it's because I just woke up, but that sentence cracked me up. "Come on guys, Erod might have a fan! Said fan could even be here! It might happen! We've seen weirder things!"

I do find the unchanging format of his posts funny, but yeah, don't think he's Erod.

You know, people DO save text templates in a doc file, and then reuse them again and again!

Nah, I don't think Joe is ERod. For one, Erik doesn't really post much on the Internet in general, outside YouTube. (He said he wasn't much of a social media guy.) Besides, Joe writes similiar posts in the Sam & Fuzzy thread, to no response as well. (I mean, I really like S&F, it's one of the first webcomics in English I read, but it's not really a type of a comic that lends itself well for long, complex discussions on its plot, themes, etc.)

Right.

Well, for starters, rumors of how I'm E-Rod in disguise have been greatly exaggerated.

And in case anyone's wondering, no, I am not a sock puppet of any kind. Thank you Spooky Mask and Ghilz for not believing I'm a sock puppet.

I just figured that, except for me, no one seems to talk much about E-Rod. Unless if they're responding to something I said regarding him.

You know what? To further stress that I'm not E-Rod, allow me to tell you some things:

• I happen to have watched all 4 Transformers movies, and really enjoyed Age of Extinction.
• The more I think about it, the more I realize how E-Rod was being really dickish for banishing someone to the Phantom Zone just for liking Spider-Man 3 more than the first two movies.
• All the things I've said during "The E-Rod busts "Robots" incident" were genuine. While I was pissed that he reviewed the movie at all, I was also upset that it was more of a rant than a legit review.
• I enjoyed Man of Steel, which E-Rod evidently despises so much that he didn't bother busting it.
• I also liked Beware the Batman and Teen Titans Go!, which E-Rod called bland and shitty (for apparently no particular reason beyond its appearance), respectively.
• The more I think about it, the more I am irked that he doesn't at least mention voice-actors like Johnny Yong Bosch and Todd Haberkorn, which leads directly to my next point…
• …I'm really not fond of how E-Rod treats anime as if all of it was either like Dragon Ball or Pokemon. Granted, a good portion of anime is probably like that, but it's not the case with all of them. Seriously, why doesn't anyone even try to show him Cowboy Bebop, Trigun, AKIRA, or even FLCL and Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt? And, E-Rod, if by any chance you're reading this, then Jesus, guy, if you love voice-over actors so dang much, then why don't you take a gander at those animes I just mentioned? You might actually be surprised. Heck, where do you think Steve Blum and Kari Wahlgren started off in their careers?

I rest my case.

ERod did state his reasons for not liking Beware the Batman, though—he found the show terribly dull.

As for his not liking anime—when did ERod said that all anime is Pokemon and Dragon Ball? As far as I remember, he only stated that anime is not his thing.

I only seen a several of his reviews but in one, he frankly admits that he doesn't know a whole lot about anime and is familiar with only a few titles.

With all due respect, I remember him saying BTB was bland, or rather, he ended his thoughts of it by saying it should've been titled "Beware the Blandness". When I said he didn't give an explanation for not liking something, I was referring to Teen Titans Go. When he briefly talked about it and Young Justice at the end of his Teen Titans Honest Review, he just went like, "It's terrible! I mean, just look at it!" Nothing much beyond that.

And I remember him saying in his Dragonball Evolution review that he thought every anime was basically just like Dragon Ball Z and Pokemon.

I hate how reviewers express such ignorant reasons for why they hate something. ...THEY'RE REVIEWERS. They clearly take pride in what they know and want to share it with the world... so why tell everyone that you're not familiar with something in relation to the topic you ARE reviewing!? It only paints them as the very people they often criticize!

It's like Tommy Oliver stating that the only good thing on the Disney Channel is Gravity Falls, completely ignoring the other 3 great animated shows that have been on for 7-to-2 years, apparently for the sake of a way to open a video strong!

If your gonna bash Go!,at the very least give some more reasons beyond its appearance.Because it has more problems then "art style looks stupid".
