Well that's actually a good thing for anime and viewver.
This applies yo everything lol
Bruh, was that a motherfucking Jojo's reference?!
I mean, Incredibles reference?
Saotome Alto You can say it’s good for anime, but is it really good for the viewer? A classic is mostly a thing that represented yourself/community in a certain time. If you can say that you don’t consider any show this year a classic, then you just consumed the shows without genuinely liking them. Consuming anime for the sake of consuming and nothing else. Watching without having fond memories, just like many people that go to the cinema, watches a movie and totally forget about it after. Finding shows that have a place in your mind afterwards, is rewarding and gives a nice feeling of nostalgia and fulfillment.
Is that an Incredibles reference?

i remember waiting for new episode of promised neverland while screaming , laughing my ass off when watching kaguya-sama , flaming domestic girlfriend , seeing mob psycho s2 everywhere on the internet and shitting on malty with everyone else , like it was yesterday .
2019 was CRAZY good for anime, srsly
@@dlxtime2380 actually i don't know. i liked every year of anime. my favorite is still kinda 2016. idk it's hard to choose. every year had more than 10 good shows.
@@dlxtime2380 well for me its very weird that every year there will always be that one season full of best anime. For me if i can remember; summer anime in 2016, spring and fall anime in 2017, summer and fall anime in 2018 and of course winter anime in 2019.
The Levi scene took the cake for me. That's quality husbando in my opinion.

WTF U TOO????!!!!?!?! 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I didn't really hear much from the community talking about that particular scene. It was kinda overlooked imo . It wasn't even nominated in the Crunchyroll awards for best fight scene.
@@hafreeze13 u been living under a rock lol, imo its overused, i see this scene at least 20 times a week on twitter and it always blows up. Also it wasn't a fight scene so it won't be nominated but i agree, crunchyroll really messed with aot this year. It deserved a lot of nominations.
Watched Bunny Girl for the plot
Stayed for the actual plot.
Watched Bunny Girl for the bunny girl
Stayed for the Panda Girl
I am still crying btw
The anime was fucking terrible and overhyped to shit. I'm actually disappointed that it not only was compared to anime of the likes of oregairu, but even got a higher rating than oregairu on MAL (not that it really matters anyway, though).

Gigguk, I can understand your perspective on your statement near the end of the video. Anime has changed, for the better and for the worst. Large corporations like Netflix and Amazon are pouring money into the anime industry. But like you said, we don't necessarily have that one defining anime that would represent an entire generation yet alone a year. Because the fandom is now bigger than it used to be. But in my opinion, I think we haven't strayed to far from our roots. For example, 2018 was a great year for anime and for me too. Me and my mother both watched Violet Evergarden together an she loved it. She was invested so much, that she even balled her eyes out from a few episodes. After that she recommended her mother to watch it and she enjoyed it and cried her eyes out too. Introducing my family to something I love and finding out their interested in it has brought us closer. And that's something as anime fans we always wanted. We always wanted everyone to see and enjoy our garden of Eden.
TheCrawfishGamer underrated comment
Wish I could do that with my mom. She only like cop shows.
Thank you, I appreciate your kindness.
That's nice but god damn it's the most neckbeard way of saying it. Let me guess, do you own a katana?
Teenage Pigs Don't Dream of Bunny Girls would do better if it kept name as it was.Slice of life / sci-fi / occult and it works.AND IT'S NOT COPY OF MONOGATARI , I WATCHED ALL MONOGATARI.
Violet Evergarden is still my anime of the year. It was amazing.
Agreedv
No doubt it was amazing but it is a very niche anime. It's definately not meant for everyone, but the animation without a doubt the best in 2018.
I loved it, emotional roller coaster for me 😥😊
Says the guy with a goblin slayer icon 👍
I see.
“I JUST WANT ASH TO BE HAPPY”...best words to describe the show
You did a rant back in 2013 when you criticized the 2012 year of anime to have no classics and now in 2019 you can look back on 2011 as a year that had classics. I think only time will tell how people remember this year of anime.
Very true, it's difficult if not damn near impossible to realise what a classic is the same year it comes out imo. I mean, they may not be classics but 2012 did have a fair few popular shows with staying power start up. Namely Sword Art Online, Girls Und Panzer, Psycho-Pass, and Highschool DxD -- all shows that still get talked about plenty today 7 years later for better or worse.
@@SythonToTheZ mostly worse tho lmao
Brendan Unknown they’re two different years 2011 and 2012 bad example
@@SythonToTheZ HDxD... for real? its probably because it has 3 season... so ofc people still remember that, same as SAO but.. it still have left a mark in the anime industry
ShinSekai Yori is definitely a classic in 2012. It's terrible animation and very unique water paint style graphics choice with stunning scenery will age well.
Psycho pass likely also can sit as a classic. But graphics will age badly since it looks so digitally made and tech focused.
Even if Part 5 isn't considered the best, we can all agree that the adaption is one golden experience to behold.
Already here?
We are conquering youtube boi .. sit aside justin
Why are you everywhere???
Wow, you watch Gigguk?
*Fuck off already*
I JUST WANT ASH TO BE HAPPY !
probably the only thing constantly on my mind for the year 2019
It's 2020 and Violet Evergarden still pulls my heart strings.
The real reason we can no longer have a year with a ‘classic’ is probably mostly to do with the constant increase in quality over the years. In those Golden Years, there were really only a handful of shows, and an even smaller number of amazing shows. Those Classics were able to keep people talking because there were much longer stretches of time before “the next big thing in anime” came along. Not to mention many of those shows are longer than the 12-13 episode length seasonal anime have adopted. In a day in age where every season has at least a handful of incredibly well made and enjoyable shows, there is always a new thing to talk about. The fandom is constantly moving forward at such a quick rate that we never leave ourselves time to reflect on the past. We never leave ourselves time to create long lasting fond memories. It’s almost sad to think about. Anime has become mainstream, and continues to grow and provide better and better shows each and every season, but we’ve lost something that used to define anime’s past: Lasting memories.
Niiiiiiiiice! Gigguk should quote you on that.
Well said mate, this should get pinned
anime hasn't become mainstream. Only a handful of shows like MHA and co have become mainstream.
To add onto this, I think that it may be a matter of perspective and interest. To someone like me who didn't watch every anime that came out this year, I could look back and say, yeah, those shows I really really liked from this year are going to stick with me forever. When you consume so much content, like Gigguk or any other hardcore anime fan, it becomes more difficult for an anime to leave a lasting impression. However, for a casual viewer like myself, there's not a lot of hopping from show to show with no time to rest in between. I'm certain that in 10 years from now, there'll be shows from 2017 and 2018 that I'll remember very fondly. Also, it's hard to argue that Boku no Hero Academia didn't become a classic - there are so many people across the world who love that show.
@@atanuchakravarty486 I disagree. It may not be, say Marvel or DC mainstream, but is it still mainstream. Beyond just random non anime youtubers, you have rappers and other artist and famous people who watch it now. Or at least are open about it. A few years ago In my mcjrotc, almost everyone watched anime. MHA and others are what's popular, sure. But anime as a whole can no longer be called a niche and mha and them are still anime. People are still watching an anime, popular or not, which will inevitably lead to more shows that they watch.
I'd argue that one of the reasons classics have become much more rare is because the general quality of anime have really gone up. What if we only got violet evergarden, a place further than the universe or (insert really good show here) amidst a pile of trash? Would they then be regarded as classics?
This is exactly my view. It's the 'Mona Lisa' effect: they're not classics because 'they are classics', they're classics because it they were some of the few shows out in the West and everyone in the small anime community was talking about it.
@@Pilchowski01 To summarize, they were the light found at the very end of the tunnel.
@@Pilchowski01 That's also a very good point to add!
@@manuelalbertoromero9528 N-no... That's not a good metaphor. I'm sorry, it's terrible.
i'd say that classics were completed. now there are no completed anime, just seasons.
Thank you for giving Banana Fish the credit it deserves
“I’ve built my deck around the best looking waifus”
My FGO playing-self relates on a spiritual level
I hate that feeling when you realize, "Oh crap. I have a real life and I cant keep up with these shows anymore."
Because I know I'll keep bookmarking and promising I'll watch these shows in the future, but deep inside I definitely know I'll never have the time in my life to ever catch up on these...
Enjoy anime when you can boys :(
I am turning 29 this year but I still find time to watch and boy this year is full of very good anime with less than 15 episodes so you can definitely finish them in one off work day.
Ha, like I've always said, if you have time to sleep, you have time to watch it. The hard part is if you fall behind. watching a few episodes over several days isn't difficult, but if you've got several episodes backed up from missing a week it becomes harder.
Evidently I know what you mean. Attending college has slowed down my anime viewing greatly and it sucks even more since theres so many freaking shows to watch!
*I hope 4Kids still needs someone to watch all of their anime*
@@heart9270 That's a problem, Animes with less than 15 episodes are the ones that didn't get watched much so they couldn't continue and, let's be honest, if you find a nice 13 episodes anime *Coff Coff Bunny Girl Senpai* (In term of romance that anime is amazing even if it's basically Bakemonogatari + Charlotte) and you really start getting into it, when it ends and you know there will not be any second season you get kinda depressed, animes with 24/25 are far better because the stories can get developed more and you don't feel depressed when it ends, but you feel satysfied
True words dude. It's a sad revelation but I think everyone who can't do this as a means for income, eventually, come to this understanding.
From the very beginning I said Historia was best girl. People laughed and mocked me.

The Manager From Zombieland saga was the Best Girl

Banana Fish had me crying, laughing, dying on the inside, at the edge of my seat, and at the very end of it: my mouth hanging open in disbelief. Why can't one of the most traumatized humans in fiction ever just have happiness? Why? Why must you do this world?
No these Banana Fish comments are killing me! I'm waiting for the hype to die down but you fans are one of the most passionate ones I have seen. I just know if I watch it now my expectations would be unrealistically high. I wish I saw the show randomly before I knew it was good.
@@jonathaninfante5227 Why watch it if the guy just literally spoiled what happens to the MC for you?
I'm so glad Gigguk is talking about Banana Fish. Went to take a look at the Crunchyroll awards and was sorely dissapointed by the lack of Banana Fish there.
The original manga series is very old (finished 25 years ago) so I don’t expect everyone to know what would happen to these men in anime. It was very famous back in old time when gay theme is still rare. I would like to say lots of Asian fujoshi watch this anime knowing all the plot and still get attached.
@@ShacoPL No details were really given as to how, and I was already spoiled that this character suffers from another video. Sometimes it is about the journey not the destination I guess.
Just found this channel and Gigguk just makes the best content I've seen in years and makes anime feel accessible again. With the growing amount of content, I struggle to keep up and these videos are a fun and insightful way to stay in the know! Thank you so much, definitely subscribing
thanks for this video. i found you through joey’s channel and i really thought i was doomed bc i had no other interesting anime to watch. I came to the point where i rewatched my past favorite animes but i could only do that for some time.

FANTASTIC review! Beautiful and accurate way to get nostalgia from something within the last year haha
*literally two months after 2018 has ended*
Gigguk: Appropriate amount of time to judge if these shows are classics
Your observation at the end of the video is very thought-provoking. I believe the reason why you feel this way is because it’s harder to identify the masterpiece when it is amongst high quality shows, and there are no obvious standouts in the crowd. The popularization of anime has resulted in us getting an incessant stream of unique IPs every season to accommodate viewers’ divergent tastes, but this has the effect of lessening the perceived impact of a show, since you’re constantly forming positive associations with likeable shows. I don’t believe this is a terrible consequence, in fact, I think more than anything this teaches us to appreciate what we experience and incites us to reflect upon what we observe.
Another excellent video Garnt!
I think some of the issues with finding "The new Classics" Is also episode lengths. Back before popularity, you'd have 24-26 episodes per season. A lot of time to develop characters, stories, philosophies and world building. The exceptional shows would sometimes get a movie and occasionally a second season that would then leave you wanting more. Now a days when you look at series you have 12 episodes, bonus ova's (which promote nothing but extra encounters), multiple seasons that features a new plot/villian but not enough growth, or the one season that's easily forgotten. I agree that there's a high amount of quality being produced now. Maybe it's just that we're getting older and what we have as "Classics" are so embedded into us that we just don't or can't see anything that's comparable to how these early shows touched us back then.
This is great for people with niche tastes though, they don't have to wait 5 years for something to come along that blows them away, although the 50+ years of anime should mean that there's something for anyone anyway.
Agree 100%. By having anime being this big now we have reached the point where the quality needed to become a masterpiece is just super super high, maybe too high to be realistically reached. However, while it may not be a terrible consequence I know why Gigguk feels melancholic.
There was a great sense of camaraderie before the mid 2000s of anime where everyone you meet who was an anime fan basically all saw the shows you watched. This created this community that felt very close to each other. It may have been exclusive but I can't blame anyone that has fond nostalgic memories of those years (I do definitely). I think it's not so much about there not being classics anymore, but that by having anime become mainstream, we've lost the sense of community we once had. Anime has now become fractured just like any kind of mainstream media.
@@WAIICRYSTALROSE That's a good point. Perhaps it can be said that first seasons these days have more of a promotional function than ever before; you watch 12 episodes, you're left on a cliffhanger, and now you can either hope a next season is on the way (and wait for it) or continue the series by reading the source material.
@@DeuSCaNoN I understand this quite well, I grew up in a time when most around me didn't care for and sometimes even shunned any form of anime. So it's true that at the time, meeting someone who was a fan was a pleasant surprise and oftentimes they were familiar with your favourite shows. However, I really like that we've reached a point where anime is popular enough to be talked about publicly just like any other media, and I'm thankful we get so many amazing series each year because it gives us something to look forward to.

Gigguk great video!
I'm really happy that you put madoka magica into this video
Yo Gigguk - quick note about the whole 'further than the universe' thing, in case you don't know: from what I've read, it's a reference to how from Japan, Antarctica is further away than escaping the atmosphere and reaching outer space. Just thought it was interesting; in case you already knew this and was just going along with the joke, then mah bad. Thanks as always for your content, Sorayori was my AOTY as well.
What was the name of this anime
Considering that ISS flies around 400 km above sea level, pretty much the capital of the neighbor country is further than the universe (unless you live in the Vatican) :D
And yes, Sorayori had the biggest impact on me in the last 3 years. In my mind AOTY as well, easily.
Gigguk should really make a text list of Anime he recommends watching. It's just so difficult to catch the titles sometimes.
SUBTITLES

4:56 "I JUST WANT ASH TO BE HAPPY!"
All of us after Banana Fish ending. Thank you for including Banana Fish.
between violet evergarden, after the rain and a place further than the universe, i had so many comfy calm tea sessions. i really learned the value of having something to look forward to all day, waiting for it to get dark, and brewing up your tea and fetching whichever snacks you'd saved or bought for just that episode. and then, just relax entirely for 20 minutes. rest of the year didnt really have any tea-worthy shows, but winter alone made it the best year yet for me
How could you do anything of that watching Violet Evergarden?
I was too busy crying in fetal position, at times I couldn't even watch an episode in one go
@@1207rorupar i managed, i would fiddle with my hot tea and eat the snack in the beginning and settle in, then i could drink the cool tea easily while the feels build up in the latter half, worked out pretty well

Banana fish was amazing (I am still sad of the ending)
For me my number one show of the year was Banana Fish. Not just for the relationship but for the portrayal of abuse and hardships, showing sometimes in the end even if life feels better because you have people on your side and you've created happy memories, your past always can catch up with you. It doesn't sugarcoat depression and abuse rather than showing it in it's most revealing and disturbing form, I could feel ash's pain and I grieved his hardships along with him. I love this show with all my heart and the meaning truly resonated with me. I'd reccomend this a watch to anyone who watches anime because in my mind it is a masterpiece.
Eji.....kinda ruined it for me......
I’m just waiting for something special that made me feel as good as Made in Abyss did.
I'm not sure I'd describe the feelings Made in Abyss made me feel as "good."
But Mob Psycho 100 2 is making me feel better than any anime I've watched in a long time.
Have you seen Over the Garden Wall? It's not an anime, but similar and really lovely.
You watched the promise never land yet ?
OMG yass s2 will probably never come out but it was an amazing show otherwise
August B you know the next arc of Made In Abyss is coming out this year in the form of a movie right?
The mid 2000s aesthetic joke nearly killed me
Dude what was that song called i forgot
I want know it to
“I just want Ash to me happy” me too dude, me fucking tooooo. I would do anything for him 😭
Gigguk: "Will there ever be another anime classic again?" The Promised Neverland: "Hold my beer."
Dororo too and Shield Hero, Mob Psycho II, Boogiepop..wait, we just got bombarded again with alot of promising anime this season.
@John Paul indeed, Dororo and Boogiepop are ALREADY much beloved classics because of their source material.
Dude, 'My Roommate Is A Cat' is a great show ngl.
The Promised Neverland looks pretty good so far, but it's not shaping up to be a classic yet.
Reasonable execution, but just from the first episode a lot of people are going to be put off by its constant reverence of tag.
Nope
I found out a couple days ago that in rascal loves bunny girl the beach scenes with each character is a symbol for the fear of change. This is because the ocean itself is regarded as a symbol for "voyage into the unknown" in literature. notice that each episode ending is the character of focus walking down the beach, that is because they are experiencing immense change in their lives at the moment of that episode, and the ocean symbolizes their unknown and unstable future (such as adolescence makes the world seem).
Notice their movements and reactions too.
Notice how that was my favorite anime of 2018 no matter what anyone says
I will say "Yes" and I don't think it's Monogatari copy.General tone of all Monogataris since Bake to Owari S2 was different.It may be same themes but you can find those themes in many other anime (albeit mostly not that good).
*Wholesome vore*
Wait Gigguk, I was here for 4 minutes and you do this to me.
!!!! Yay! Bloom into you got a good mention!!
A Place Further Than The Universe was indeed my Anime of The Year. 😁
Hahaha i bet gigguk choose yorimoi but is a tough year though
@@satoriakihiro1283 I guess the reason we don't seem to have many classics nowadays is because we have way too much stuff that could be classified as *Classics.* And when everything's a classic, nothing will be. 😁
It just might be me but I love every video gigguk makes even if I don't agree with him I enjoy it and I love how much effort he puts into them. Hopefully this will continue in 2019 and hopefully he will get 2mil subs keep up the hard work
fully agreed and I bet he will given time hell he deserves more than that cause honestly he puts so much work into these videos
literally banana fish became my favorite anime and for once i was glad I had shitty prime video
>best op - Cowboy Bebop OP music
>best ed - Cowboy Bebop ED music
A man of culture and truth
PinkiePingas indeed
bunny girl senpai has really good opening and ending music
Y’know, hearing Gigguk talk and Banana Fish and calling it one of the most overlooked anime of 2018 and giving it an honest and positive review made me so happy!!! Honestly, a part of me didn’t think that Banana Fish would get some of the attention that I personally think it deserves, especially from a big anime reviewer in the anime community, but just the fact that he did talk about it and didn’t stuff it into the yaoi category just because it has some homoerotic tones in the beginning filled me with so much joy!!!! (And the quick review on Dragon Pilot was awesome too!!!! XD) Congrats Gigguck, welcome to the Banana Fish family.
P.S Holy flippin cow that a lot of likes thanks everyone!!! XD

It’s gay so it’s unnatural to watch I get unnatural goosebumps watching it I feel disgusted because its gay
I understand the appeal of the story and the appealing factors but because it’s yaoi I can’t stomach it
Ibrahim Al-Otaibi If that’s how you feel just because there’s a gay relationship at the center of it, that’s your opinion. But please let correct you on one thing, Banana Fish is not a yaoi, a yaoi is an anime that centers in the sexual and physical relationships between two men. Nothing like this happens in Banana Fish, unless you want to count the times Ash has been raped and sexually abused. Banana Fish is much closer to a shonen-ai, a genre of anime that centers around the emotional side of a romantic relationship between two men.But really, Banana Fish isn’t any of these two genres, it just has some shonen-ai tones more than anything. If you want to be digested at an anime because it’s “gay” that’s your opinion, I’m NOT trying to change it. Just use your terms correctly, because “yaoi” and “shonen-ai” and “dark gritty action mystery” and all very separate distinct genres.
How is it overlooked , it came close to SAO in popularity ... Every third comment is about it ,,,
Nemanja Stankovic I didn’t know that Banana Fish came close to SAO in popularity!! (I mean, I knew that people were talking about it, but not THAT many people.) That’s pretty cool!! Where did you hear that from? Could you a provide a link to the website/graph/statistics?
Well because of liberal laws of my country and no Crunchyrolls for me no but I would bet it sold pretty solid.Or just go reddit and count topics.Also Mal had around 100k and more watchers when I checked before dropping.Ok , SAO part was a joke :P
Watched "A Place Further than the Universe" because of Gigguk's recommendation and I loved it! Would have slipped under my radar otherwise so I'm happy he brought it to my attention.
*head above shoulders*
I don't know if I should be laughing at it or sob
Dude you gave me a list of new anime to watch. I'm telling you I just finished watching gridman and I can't agree with you more. It literally reminded me of when I was 6 going downstairs in the morning to watch power rangers 😂
You'll never get that feeling of "instant-classic" in the modern anime climate, not unless we get a terrible season where 1 or 2 great shows can overwhelm our perspective. The older shows that we acknowledge to be classics stood out as classics because they were incredible shows that completely dominated otherwise standard-grade periods of time. In 2018, we got classic after classic after classic. If you were to imagine Megalobox, Violet Evergarden, a Place Further than the Universe or a few other shows from 2018 standing by themselves in a year without (m)any other stand-outs, I bet you can see yourself seeing them as classics.
These shows are of a quality that deserves the reputation that was given to those old classics, but...it's kind of like that idea the Incredibles plays around with. "And when everybody's super...no one will be." These shows are all classics, they just seem less like it because their shockwaves couldn't be as great when they were all interfering with each other's. When those older classics landed, their shockwaves weren't nearly as interferred with.
I think that what defines a show as "classic" was never its popularity or quality, but it's universality.
And there is no universality in the anime community anymore.
That may be okay, or not. But I kind of miss it.
@@MercenaryX10A Couldn't have said it better myself!
Honestly I'd consider popteamepic a classic. Yes I don't know what is wrong with me either.
I don't understand what you mean by universality. Are you referring to titles that helped to define and popularize certain genres in anime? If that it is the case I agree. But I also think nostalgia plays a big role in what is defined as classic. Give these shows another 10 to 15 years and I think that some of them might be considered ones too.
Spot on.
2018 was a shitty year for me... anime kept me going...
M Digital glad to here m8 keep on keeping on!:)
Hey, here's hoping 2019 treats you right.
M Digital same here
It gets better mate, just keep on going we believe in you.

"[Historia] Please have my Eren-hating baby."
Man, that's even worse than your Miki pun.
I loved A Place Further then The Universe but, man did it make me feel like such a loser when these high school girls how to Antarctica yet here i am sitting at home playing games and watching anime
Look at the bright side, at least we got to watch them go to Antarctica.
That's why it's an inspirational piece for viewer like us to go outside and creating memories that worth a life time. Too bad I'm way pass my youth and I've never experienced something like they did , but I still have an opportunity I guess.
It literally drove me to book tickets to go to Japan, I'll be spending 2 weeks there in June
@@Nintendude4life Hey try yuru camp too then.
And here I am watching this video from 2022 and Gigguk' video is just a masterpiece
Great vid, first time watching ya and definitely had to sub

Cant wait for the classics that he said is missing in 2018 that is now in 2019.
Best 2018 recap
So happy to hear the praise for Banana Fish! Definitely one of my favourite anime titles of all time.
thanks man. it was amazing. u nailed it
i love the devilman crybaby OST to the point where it’s been 4 years and it still is one of the most played playlists on my spotify, just waiting to be replaced by the chainsaw man OST. i’d tattoo kensuke ushio’s music into my brain if it was possible.
I completely agree the OST just hits different
“I just want Ash to be happy.”
THAT’S IT! SUMS IT UP! THAT’S MY REACTION TO IT!
I JUST WANT ASH TO BE HAPPPY!!!!!! Yes Gigguk, I completely understand that feeling.
Bitch I want Ash to be happy!!!! 😭
Same ;-;
Same ;-;
Same ;-;

I liked how he went from "I've became a religious man this year" to "I'm going to hell" in the next 30 seconds
i started watching this video to find an anime to watch, but got so distracted by your comedy delivery so I totally forgot to why i originally came here
