New Channel looking for feedback

[fresh gale]

Hey everyone, I just started 2 new channels as I didn't want to confuse anyone on my niche.

1. anime reaction channel 2. Podcast channel.

I have a few questions. I did alot of research on trying to make the best content, but seems like my "avg percentage viewed" and "avg min watched" is low.

Now that I've gotten about 30 videos & Shorts loaded up, would it be smart to do a promotion to help my reach?

For anyone willing to help, what have you done to improve those metrics?

is it possibly the niche? I've seen successful changes in the anime reaction world.

Any constructive criticism is appreciated.

Thank you

Hi I looked at your anime channel and skimmed through a bit of your parasite video and I have some thoughts.

1. Your thumbnails are a little dark and need more contrast. It's a little hard to read what anine you're reacting to.

2. I think your energy was great.

3. I'm not sure if it's just me but I think the camera might be a little too high.

4. I only skimmed through the reaction part as I'm not familiar with Parasyte. I noticed the editing is pretty minimal. Maybe try and think up some fun edits to spice up your commentary. I'm not sure if it's worth instead of doing a raw reaction to a singular episode each video you could do a thing where you record yourself reacting to the whole series then edit it down into a "highlights" or key moments montage and then give your opinion on the series afterward. It would be a lot more work but I think it could work.
