Talk about Gigguk here.

Gigguk is a British-Thai anime reviewer/entertainer who does reviews in a crude tone and fast-talking. It might remind Zero Punctuation, Gigguk is far more generous with compliments.

His reviews and arguments are, for the most of the time, fairly logical and interesting. Even if it doesn't, which I noticed from time to time, it is still entertaining as hell.

So does anyone here watch his videos?

I will forever love his Sword Art Online review for the "Coffee Soda" bit.

"KAYABA!"

Oh man, that was so hilarious. It also summarizes how I don't want to keep watching the show.

I first found him through his EVAbridged videos which are the probably funniest Evangelion parodies I've seen on youtube.

Afterwards I watched a lot of his reviews and rants, he really knows what to say and has some good opinions.

Oh right, his reviews have a lot of hilarious moments, so I decided to launch the funny page for it.

Let's fill er' up!

Gigguk: 2013 in anime, part 1.

Skip to 1 minute point and on for anime stuff.

As always, it's funny. [lol]

I love what he said about Attack On Titan. evil grin

And here's part 2

The whole ending rant regarding Evangelion 3.0 is the best part.

I got into his videos with his Highschool Of The Dead review, and stayed for the EV Abridged. :P (My god, that Eye of the Tiger bit XD)

but HOW?

I wonder when he would do the series review on Attack On Titan.

Also, I hope he reviews Mahouka Koukou No Rettousei. I reckon he will have a similar response he had with SAO.

I find his Anime Season overviews to be his most hilarious, as well as his joint review of K-On!!

Sometimes I wonder what kind of muscle exercises are required to speak that fast.

... didn't he do Ao T already? Or am I confusing it with his brief description in his anime yearly recap?

He did several reactions, but he didn't do a full review yet.

this is, in my opinion, Gigguk's best video:

…Huh, I didn't even know he had a thread. EMS really did set a new standard in the Imouto genre. For better or for worse.

To me though, Gig's best videos remain his motion capture waifu videos.

Gigguk's humor can be hit or miss, but when it hits it really does. That ship joke left me out of breath.

His joke on "Gray Clover" falls a bit flat since Radiant predates BC by two years. tongue

But man, the transitions are so freaking perfect. And as I said on the season thread, he made me want to watch Thunderbolt Fantasy, so that's something.

…I just wonder in what kind of context Alex Jones started rambling about goblins.

Thunderbolt Fantasy is great yeah.

Also did he at least remember to mention Radiant is french of all things? If not then that just makes jokes about it lame [lol]

Gigguk explains how he became a fan of the A Certain Magical Index series.

I never thought of the setting being one that could feel like a Shared Universe without actually being one before, but that's an interesting way to describe Index's storytelling and worldbuilding. Speaking of, he's the first person I've seen who's ever articulated why the Science Side of Index is more interesting to him and most other people than the Magic Side. Using that logic, I can see where he's coming from.

That was posted literally two posts above yours. evil grin

But man, getting into this franchise seems like a piece of work. For some reason, even without knowing jack shit about the franchise I always felt more drawn to Railgun − which might be because of the title. And apparently I'm not the only one.

…It's kinda weird to see a serious Gigguk video for once. >.>
