History YMMV / Digibro

* HePannedItNowHeSucks: Digi himself notes he got a lot of this due to his SAO videos, where he utterly roasts the anime for long periods of time. Averted in the case of Asterisk War, which people mostly just consider low-hanging fruit at worst.

* HePannedItNowHeSucks: Digi himself notes he got a lot of this due to his SAO videos, where he utterly roasts the anime for long periods of time. Averted in the case of Asterisk War, which is generally considered SnarkBait and doesn't seem to have the same passionate following, to the point some people said Digi was picking low-hanging fruit.

* BrokenBase: His reviewing style, and especially his videos on Sword Art Online and Asterisk War, tend to make him polarizing. Either he's an interesting critic, providing detailed and valid analysis over stuff a lot of people wouldn't think much about, and helpful in justifying people's dislike or admiration for a show, or he's overly nitpicky and biased to the point of being unable to take seriously.

* BileFascination: The main reason why he keeps making SAO videos even after saying he wouldn't watch season 2 is because he loves to hate the series.

* CriticalResearchFailure: In his SAOII video series, he points out how Death Gun's [[spoiler:aka the Shinkawa brothers]] MO of killing people is completely farcical, even inviting one of his friends who works at a hospital to explain how [[spoiler: obtaining the muscle relaxant in question is not nearly as trivial to obtain as the show makes it out to be, even with the excuse that their father owns the hospital in question. This is because hospitals have very strict safety precautions to prevent theft and abuse of its drugs, which the show doesn't seem to acknowledge or care about at all.]]
* DesignatedHero: This is one of his biggest complaints with Sword Art Online, as he considers Kirito to be incredibly unlikable and annoying, and hates how the show's narrative keeps propping him up.
* EightDeadlyWords: This seems to be his main problem with The Asterisk War; he states that the characters are formulaic, dull, and that there doesn't seem to be a lot of thought or effort put into why they act they way do or how they became the people they are presently.
* HePannedItNowHeSucks: Digi himself notes he got a lot of this due to his SAO videos, where he utterly roasts the anime for long periods of time.
* NeverLiveItDown: He acknowledges that not understanding why Kirito outed himself as a beater in episode 2 of SAO was a big mistake on his part, but only because it caused a lot of people to dismiss his other criticisms in his ''Sword Art Online: An Analytical Diatribe'' video. He was particularly frustrated because when he was told the actual reason why Kirito did it, he still thought it was stupid, narratively broken and it did not improve his opinion of the show at all.
* PetPeeveTrope:
** ThanksForTheMammary, to the point where he considers any scene in a show after [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Neon Genesis Evangelion's]] subversion of the concept to be the worst scene of any show it's in.
** Although not directly a trope, he really hates it when restaurants are used as the site of exposition, because he finds it incredibly dull and lazy. In his SAOII videos, he event kept a counter at the bottom and spent a good almost five minutes of the first video ranting about it.
** Although he states that it can be a good way to start a show sometimes, he says that he dislikes it when anime open up on big flashy (and poorly coreographed/thought out) fight scenes with no context, because he claims that without any context it's very difficult to care or have any investment in what's going on.
* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: He hates how Asuna, which he considers the best thing about SAO, was repeatedly degraded and shoved aside by the show's insistence on propping up Kirito, instead of having her contribute to potential character development for Kirito and being an actual deuteragonist who is on par with the main character.
* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot:
** Laments how after episode 3 SAO completely drops the tension of the first few episodes to go on a bunch of uninteresting and pointless side stories, instead of focusing on Kirito's character development and fleshing out the setting and culture of Aincrad.
** He also mentions how annoying it is that the series does a GenreShift from a "Escape the MMO" to a Harem/Romance story. Part of his issue is that it means most of the ideas presented earlier on end up being wasted.
* WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids: One of his main complaints about the second half of SAO's first season is that the gratuituous quasi-rape scenes have absolutely no place in SAO, which is mostly a childish and simplistic show which doesn't have the writing chops to pull off something like that, as evidenced by how disgusting and offensive he found them.

* CriticalResearchFailure: In his SAOII video series, he points out how Death Gun's [[spoiler:aka the Shinkawa brothers]] MO of killing people is completely farcical, even inviting one of his friends who works at a hospital to explain how [[spoiler: obtaining the muscle relaxant in question is not nearly as trivial to obtain as the show makes it out to be, even with the excuse that their father owns the hospital in questio.

* MartyStu: While he criticizes numerous aspects of Kirito and Ayato's characters, he says that the core problem with both is that they're WishFulfillment vehicles first and foremost, without enough consideration being given to making them actually interesting characters. He considers this particularly bad in Ayato's case, calling him a frankenstein amalgation of pretty much every wish fullfillment trope of anime protagonists, even when many of those tropes are in direct opposition with one another and make no sense together.

* BoringInvincibleHero: Among other things, he says that Kirito is so overpowered and unnaturally good at everything that it drains the story of any dramatic tension. He also notes how quickly the main character from The Asterisk War works his way into this, noting how he quickly obtains the most powerful weapon the series had shown at that point in episode 2, and how he already surpasses all the best fighters in the academy at the beginning of the show.
