Honestly, looking back at this, I think I'd put Hatena Illusions in first place, it sounds somehow more painful to watch than Gibiate.

I had to come back to try and remember wtf the eugenic harem anime was

33:23 "Most of the time these characters barely even look human, let alone attractive." This line also applies to One Piece as well
@Complex_DPeter Grill is legitimately one of the ugliest shows I've seen that's trying to be attractive.
@timcronic234116:49 Random Battle alert
@TeamGhostRyderINC24:00 I'm physically disabled and I keep getting whiplash when I hear the other meaning of gimp
@gupdoo3I think next time I want to watch HatenaāIllusion, I'll just watch Xiaolin Showdown instead
@NormalGayBro41:15 I need that censored poster now ššš I want drinks Brugs and rock'n'roll
@obscene134920:26
It feels like the author and the writers couldn't figure out how to make the phantom thieves shit cool and clever so they resorted to Shonen instead
You got Gibiated.
@parkerthompson2893That Genki Rockets singer, sung the Ending Theme of that shitty mobile adaptation. You cant make this up š
@lumirairazbyte969739:34 i thought you were saying the studio hired him as their evil mangaka
@twingolordGibiate was a OP great anime for many reason, it still better then 94% of the trash being pushed over the last 5 years. I remember 200 other animes in 2020 that was dog sh*t bad, Gibiate was not in that list. I try JoJo I was NOPE, but I liked Gibiate.
@mikem7764Phantom theif thing made me think of how interesting it would be to flip the formula. Calculating and stoic thief that is the nemesis of a showey and misdirecting detective.
I may have partially reinvented Batman but more fun.
officially: 0 watched this year.
unofficially: part of 1 episode watched, and it's your fault
Man 2020 really was the worst, wasn't it
@opo259741:15 Donāt do brugs, kids.
Though I think Iāve figured out what the artists were on
That first anime sounds like its world is really boring. Monsters that fixate on operating businesses instead of like, killing people or almost anything else? Man, that's just lame. And everyone in the last one look more like Baki rejects, which how ugly almost everyone is.
@greenapple947712:40 So itās shitty seven deadly sins, an admittedly very mid anime and mangaā¦
@spiegel76088:00 I feel like it shouldnāt matter if he was intoxicated, he should have better judgement than that.
@spiegel7608"We have Major Armstrong at home" one of Geoff's best lines thus far.
@LokiMartin-i6sJunk spunk š„°š„°š„°
@feitmeMuff kun and smile stick had me laughing super hard š
@warrendesenbergNever in my life would I have expected trails music over someone talking about peter grill
@caramelkalin66962:20 THIS IS A GUY? I thought for the longest time he was a girl with kinda masculine features! Man, and people talk crab about Shun...
@Zilkenian_DavenportThe pink-haired, cyberpunk woman in Gibiate could've been so awesome in any other show. I like her design. Such a waste to be in that anime.
@BewareTheLilyOfTheValley16:50 Look at the wings on the girl...they don't look like they're actually attached to her body š
@BewareTheLilyOfTheValleyIn an alternate universe the Eugenics Harem anime could have been a clever analysis on toxic masculinity and rape culture.
Like imagine this, instead of just sleeping with the hot girls, they get him so drunk he canāt consent. Maybe he was partying after his tournament victory a bit too hard and they take advantage of someone who is so drunk he canāt stand straight and definitely canāt consent.
And now he is stuck in this situation where he doesnāt know whom to talk to. His friends would all go like ābro nice scoreā and his fiancĆ©e would break up with him if she found out. Maybe the Oni girls could be recurring characters that see nothing wrong with what they did, using every excuse you heard from any college rapist ever to justify their actions. āOh he liked it anywaysā or āif he really didnāt want it, he could have just stopped us with his amazing strengthā
So he doesnāt feel comfortable confining in his partner, the people he confines into donāt take his pain seriously, his abusers are still in his life and canāt get rid of them and if what happened came out, his reputation as the toughest guy ever would be gone and he would become the laughing stock of their society.
Like there are real victims that go through similar things and using the fantasy setting as a framing device would work well to analyze the situation.
Beating up your butler for cleaning the bathroom? Thatās not ecchi comedy, thatās a hostile work environment!
@MothworxThe Kaitou Kid montage at 20:37 has made me wish for years that Geoff will one day do a video on Detective Conan or Magic Kaito. God, there's so much one could talk about this... series? Connected universe? 1000+ episodes of multiple animes of high IQ bullshit?
@EllisephaPeter Grill when he meets Patrick Flat Top and Perry Cast Iron Pan.
@Goozer01You are a very happy gamer.
@UltimatePerfectionOh wait I remember now the worst anime definitely watch was even more terrible Shironeko Project Zero Chronicles, Japan Sinks never watched but terrible, Super HXEros even terrible plus the creator of that put too much sex jokes in Super HXEros, Peter Grill and the philosophy stone now that was terrible and the creator of that anime put sex jokes in that one, The God of high school also terrible too, Bakugan Armored Alliance terrible why the heck did they use the english dub voices from canadašØš¦, Sakura wars terrible, Shachibato president it's time for battle terrible, also the food wars glad that's over but terrible plus the creator of the food wars plot put too much sex jokes in food wars abuse food and wasted all that money on promoting five seasons of that awful food wars anime without taking responsibility for his mistakes plus the creator of food wars has no right to abuse the food and put sex jokes in food wars which was the worst anime that I watched, worst anime also the millionaire detective balance terrible anime too, another worst anime Akudama drive I don't what was the creator anime thinking but the plot of the anime was definitely the worst anime I also watch was terrible, and last but not least the worst anime Our Last Crusade or the rise of a new world also the creator of the anime put a bad ending on that anime and the creator of that anime likes pink haired twin tail again seriously no wonder final ends with a terrible cliff hanger unfinished by the way.
@saberbladefang250I liked Hatenna ilusion
@gabrielfernandez7375Iām still amazed Gibiate isnāt up there with the classics like Birdemic, Ex Arm, The Room etc. Itās so unbelievably bad Iām actually shocked it even exists. It feels like some sort of anomalous object humans werenāt meant to see. Genuinely could not keep my jaw off the floor watching it, it was one of the worst things Iāve ever seen and it deserves way more recognition for that.
@alicethemad1613I don't know The eugenics Harem, but as someone who suffers from a mild case of split personality and dissociotan, i can totally see how this mc thinks. For me it's the same. The one who is writing this comment would never do opiates again. But still, in a few days i'll propably be here onyoutube again, bitching about that other part of mine that shut "me" down for the time being. It just needs the right trigger, and my existence vanishes. What a strange thought...
I can totally see someone switching personality when sex is on the table, as sex is not much more than lots of good hormons, which is then in turn the same as drugs.
ps: That doesn't meaan at all that the show is good, you should propqbly trust geoff in this regard.
And don't smoke weed if you are suffering from some kind of mental health problem that doesn't benefit from smoking weed. Should be selfexplanatory (Duh!). O soon you're asking yourself questions like:
Am i real or is he? What if we both are not real? What if we are?
peter grill and the philosopher's time is a crazy name
@Neon-ws8er"ryo aoki" a Yakuza 7 character made this anime
@Emerald_Raven08What's the anime in 2nd place?
@MousePotato-z1iDRINKS
BRUGS

ROCK'N
ROLL
10:12 Sanji?
@jojoatheart5326Putting your phone into your duelling-sleeve in order to battle your buddies sounds amazing to be honest
@rufusconnolly8489Say what you will about Peter Grill and his lecherous ways. The man is absolutely jacked
@SerFonduemuff-kun and the smile stick almost made me do an actual spit-take, thank you
@KasranFox366.
