...fair I guess.

Seriously, who's Garnt Gigguk's actual name got it.

...I've never heard a name like that before.

Akira Toriyama (April 5 1955 - March 1, 2024).

He's English, and his parents were Thai. Presumably that's where his name comes from.

It sounds... rugged, yet eloquent.

Weebs like to pretend cancel culture is purely American and that Japan is a bastion of "idc what you think" but in reality Japan has it but to the 10th degree in many different cases. At least in American cancel culture you're targeting something that COULD be negative. Japanese cancel culture means putting peoples physical and mental health in danger for minuscule mistakes that many times aren't even negative, like in idol culture. One of Hololive's latest VTuber idols quit because fans were stalking and harassing her, calling her and her parents houses, and sending threats all because of an extremely minor mistake.

JP cancel culture is on another level compared to the US and is far worse in most cases and I wish these weeb ass Facebook meme page admins would stop worshipping the ground Japanese people walk on as if these things are exclusively American

The more I learn about Japanese internet, the more I'm glad I never learned the language.

I mean, what's the worse I can expect out of French internet? Islamophobia and people telling me I'm a pedophile because I'm Catholic? I already get that from Anglo internet anyway.

Gigguk has found a new waifu.

And for once, he's completely right. Both about the girl and the shade thrown at God Of Highschool.

Although admittedly, most of the girls in that manga are really great. Most.

Considering Sumi is the only character who doesn't generate discourse whenever she's relevant in a chapter in the manga discussion thread, him placing her at the same level as Ruka when (to his own admission) he doesn't know anything about her is quite the take.

And as expected from reddit, the discussion from this video is as divided as those from the show!

Isn't this that romcom where the MC is a despicable spineless coward or am I thinking of something else?

I mean, you just described half the romcom genre, so I'm kind of obligated to give you the mathematician's answer of "Yes".

i did watch the entire episode before the highlights came out, but watching the highlights that just came out, the one that immediately sticks out is Akai Haato (Haachama) for sheer insanity

Goddamn it, Gigguk.

Now you got me into V-tuber (Gawr Gura, to be specific)!

I'm a (socialist) professional writer serializing a WWII alternate history webnovel.

Didn't Gigguk moved to Japan? I do wonder if he have a chance to see the Kimetsu no Yaiba movie that is showing right now?

E.T technically is a Isekai movie
