History YMMV / Digibro

** However some criticize him for looking [[WhatDoYouMeanItsNotDidactic too deep]] into a relatively simple show like ''Manga/KOn''. There's also some who see his love of moe shows, especially KOn to be [[{{Squick}} rather uncomfortably]].

* MemeticMutation: Referring to Creator/A1Pictures as the "McDonald's of anime" after he made the comparison in one of his ''LightNovel/TheAsteriskWar'' videos.

** While not as extreme as the example with ''Manga/{{Erased}}'', he did get some flack for the video he did on ''LightNovel/ReZero'' with Endless Jess. It didn't help that for months many of his viewers kept asking him about his opinion on the show with the hopes that he'd either talk about it with glittering praise or tear it to shreds. In addition he already generated this reaction when he talked about the first episode for the Weebcast and many felt he was being unfair on it. His opinion on the show ultimately ended up being its SoOkayItsAverage. While Digi actually gave the show credit for a decent amount of good aspects and didn't find it to be offensive like ''LightNovel/SwordArtOnline'' or ''LightNovel/TheAsteriskWar'', he didn't like it because it was boring. As such some of his viewers felt he was being unfair on the show and would have preferred him to give more reason for disliking the show other than "it was boring"[[note]]Digi actually did have problems with the show other than it being boring, in fact his major problem with the show was that other shows like ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'' and ''VisualNovel/SteinsGate'' already did what this show did but better.[[/note]] This is far from a strong opinion however as there are some viewers who felt as if Digi wasn't hard enough on this show.

* {{Tearjerker}}: In a vlog discussing the quality of recent anime he mentions that over history many creative minds in the anime industry have passed on such as Creator/SatoshiKon and Osamu Dezaki. Following this he talks about how {{Creator/Madhouse}} founder, Masao Maruyama couldn't find anyone to replace Satoshi Kon for their dram project and how his current focus is finishing up all of the projects he wanted to complete in his life now that he's of old age. The idea of Maruyama passing on eventually almost made Digi cry while making the video.
* FlameWar: Although Digibro admits to his own biases, his well made reviews are often used as fuel for various flame wars on the internet. Videos such as "How to Recognize a Terrible Anime (in just one episode)" [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G30xZxJLR8U]], have got so chaotic that he had to disable comments. Many misinterpret the ideology of his videos [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JCxWqIOKjro]]. According to the video he likes to engage in discussion and debate, but more often than not his videos (like many critics) end up being means to "validate" ones opinion as the superior one.

* GrowingTheBeard: A lot of his viewers feel as if his video on ''Manga/HunterXHunter'' was where he really began showing of his true colors as an anime analyst.

* ComplainingAboutShowsYouDontWatch: Generally averts this trope as more often than not he drops shows he doesn't like very early on and usually has no interest in talking about shows he has no intention on completing. The only time he makes negative videos on anime is in the rare event that a a show is significantly bad he feels the need to talk about it as seen with ''LightNovel/TheAstersikWar'', and ''[[Anime/PsychoPass Psycho-Pass 2]]'', or he loves to hate it like ''LightNovel/SwordArtOnline''.

** An inversion of this trope occurred after his video on ''Anime/KabaneriOnTheIronFortress''. Whereas the vast majority of audiences who watched it [[SeasonalRot felt it ended up being a disappointment]], Digi thought it was a solid show using the RuleOfCool in defense of his arguments towards liking it. Some viewers even went as far to say that Digi is "hypocritical" since he is known for being harsh on ''LightNovel/SwordArtOnline'' which like ''Kabaneri'' is a SnarkBait show among the anime fandom but fans of the series often defend it for the same reasons Digi defended ''Kabaneri''.

** While he never reviewed the show, a lot of people often mention the fact that he dropped ''Novel/FromTheNewWorld'' in the first four episodes because he disliked it. This especially caused a stir among his viewers because that is often considered to be one of the best shows that Creator/A1Pictures has produced. Many fans of that show often feel as if he didn't give it a fair enough chance, or only disliked it because he didn't like how it looks when he has '''openly stated''' he hated other aspects of the show aside from visuals.

* MagnumOpus: His video on "Why Good Anime is Hard to Make". A very well researched video on the state of the anime industry in Japan that addresses a lot of problems that anime viewers have had with anime as of recently. Its even helped changed the buying habits and viewpoint of the industry for a lot of his viewers.

** The fact that he drops a lot of anime especially because a lot of the shows he drops are very popular or well-received. Some don't mind this because it allows him to focus on other anime and talk about shows that aren't getting as much attention alongside of the fact that most of the shows he drops just aren't very good anyway. Others however feel as if he doesn't give the shows he watches a fair chance especially if he only watches a few episodes before dropping a show or if he drops a show that [[GrowingTheBeard gets better later]]. Though this has been slightly alleviated as he has admitted that just because he drops a show that doesn't mean he'll never return to it and as of recently has picked up shows he previously dropped such as ''LightNovel/ChivalryOfTheFailedKnight'' and actually enjoyed it.

** Among his fans, there is some contention over his ''Asterisk War'' series. Unlike SAO, the criticism of the videos isn't because of his negative opinion on the series (since ''Asterisk War'' is generally considered a trashy SnarkBait show, and doesn't seem to have a lot of people defending it), but because he wrote ''12'' videos' worth of content about it. A lot of people enjoy the videos and have no problem with how long Digi's spent on it, given that they feel that he has insightful and interesting things to say and covers a wide variety of subjects, but another group feels that he made his point pretty quickly and that ragging on it for so long got old.

** 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, despite statistics saying it's extremely popular, people mostly just consider to be low-hanging fruit at worst. Seemingly played straight in the case of ''ERASED'' if the like bar on the video is any indication; it's much less of a SnarkBait show than SAO and was very hyped until its conclusion, which many people found underwhelming (Digi's opinion was that it was dull from the beginning). On twitter, he explained that this was part of why he was reluctant to comment on a lot of popular shows because his opinions on them are often negative. He's since resolved to have an opinion on them regardless.

* AcceptableTargets: Sword Art Online, The Asterisk War, and the vast majority of A1 Pictures and Creator/BeeTrain shows.

** His reviewing style, and especially his videos on Sword Art Online and Asterisk War, tend to make him polarizing. Some think 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. Others consider him overly nitpicky and so unabashedly biased to the point where they can't take him seriously.
