Review my Anime Review :)

[pearl depot]

I had a lot of fun putting time and research into this video. Would y'all mind giving me a sanity check that it all came out as good as I feel it is?

Humble me.

Really good introduction and hook. Would have watched the entire thing was I not repulsed by the anime itself.. really disturbingly strange. I love your voice and possibility throughout the video.

Regarding the thumbnail, I would say you should make the text either bigger or something and use similar colors from the text and arrow rather than two different colors. It's a little small on mobile.. though that's just me

Thanks, and I'm also sorry lol

I think I have to make peace with the fact that maybe there's a reason why I'm the only one to have made a youtube review on this anime so far. As you saw, I was not click baiting when I said the weirdest 😅
So I don't mind if you didn't watch the whole thing, but I'm glad I was able to provide all the content early enough for you to make that decision.

I wasn't feeling too good about the thumbnail either, especially the text. I'll change it up a bit and see how it does, thanks

Of course, would have honestly watched it all cause you definitely kept me engaged.. but man.. I especially winced during the beginning scenes...

I do think your thumbnail for your winter 2025 animes was really good. That's a good font and the white works well (when in doubt, make the font color generally in white, not other colors).

Though your other winter 2025 one with the "trash" in the thumbnail doesn't have a great thumbnail imo. The font isn't that great imo. I feel like you should experiment around with that one some more if you want too.

also feel like you should do camel case for your second video like you did for the others. Make it "Do NOT Miss These 2 Anime."

or try something like "Underrated Anime of 2025."

I appreciate the in-depth feedback
I played around a bit based around your advice. Would you mind sharing your thoughts on how you feel about these revised thumbnails if you've got a moment?

What's the whole capitalism thing? I wasn't really paying attention to that part, just thought it was a weird and dumb anime

[novel trench]

I like the top right though I do think the text is overlapping with the character a bit too much

[pearl depot]

@novel trench Thanks for the feedback again.
The anime's main message is anti-capitalism and I explain why in the video, but to save you the trauma of watching more the weirdness is like symbolism towards how society tries to distract you from the messed up things in society. Themes of desire vs love are prevalent throughout when you realize everyone struggles with something deep inside and we should learn to connect more with people without being afraid of the weird

I recognize it's objectively weird and dumb, but I was passionate about the nice messages the director was trying to portray

[novel trench]

I see, that makes more sense! It's not dumb, especially if you're finding a deeper meaning and symbolisms
