Yeah. I used to like Mr. Enter, but in recent months, it's starting to feel more like he just an angry man who wants to take out his frustrations on life (abuse in particular, considering his childhood) and dictate his own views on animation more than to actually review. I'm not sure whether this is because I've started to notice his flaws or if the quality of his videos has degraded significantly.

Further outlines the flaws of internet critics, only worse
Heavily relies on Windows Movie Maker. Shots are poor quality and often repeat just so he can further nail his point even though it was already apparent.
I would not have a problem with this if only his series was actually engaging, and it isn't one bit. From the points he makes that come absolutely out of nowhere to his lack of research and a sense of humor, Enter fails to bring a coherent narrative. Examples of hypocrisy I won't mention due to the word limit but some are included in the Wallbanger section.
While I myself like and dislike some of the same shows he reviews, it feels more like an half-assed attempt at connecting with the audience and dictating his own views than going over what makes a supposed episode good or bad.
Another thing, if you changed the name of both Animated Atrocities and Admirable Animation to "Writing Atrocities" and "Admirable Writing" absolutely nothing would change other than the restriction of medium: his reviews almost always focus on the writing aspect of a work, nothing else.
Unlike AVGN's and Nostalgia Critic's IRL personalities James Rolfe and Doug Walker, Johnathan Rozanski is bitterly rotten to the core. He will make no qualms on calling the writers of an episode "fucking morons" or just straight up make fun of them overall.
On an unrelated note he'll also happily sick his fans on you whether you're a writer for a TV series or Troper alike just because you don't share the same views as him.
Finally due to some of the points I brought up, his personal history, and multiple cases of hypocrisy within and out of his videos this guy feels more like a Straw Hypocrite than someone who has even a lick of passion for the subject of animation as a whole. I do not recommend watching him period.
