    My review of the first storyline of the Anime Arc. And boy did it feel like they just wanted to get to the second storyline...
    Also just as I finished putting together this review I realized SMG4 is starting up a new Arc. Just when I thought I had one review to go...

    This arc gets a 2.2/10 in my book, for an arc with such and interesting concept, it’s impressive how much they rushed things up just so they could get to Meggy’s part, which isn’t even better at all (I HATE YOU MEGGY)

    4:20 Honestly, the easiest way to have fixed this detail was for SMG4 to have Francis flat out point out that any operation he'd put Mario in charge of, would end in destruction, loss of personal and possibly even the loss of the product he put Mario in charge of.
    As in, Have Francis seem more than a Daft Weeb by having him be aware of Mario's utterly Ridiculous antics that cause more harm than good, so Lemonade can still happen, but it can have a good reason why it happens.
    The other method is similar, but rather than have Francis _say_ it, he _Shows_ Mario's prior experiences with important jobs with a Flat expression on his face, as if to non-verbally say "Do I have to spell it out to you?"

    One of the funniest parts of this arc for me was when Mario turned into an anime Mario as a distraction. Once again supporting how good Mario would’ve fit in this arc. Great review.

    The Anime Arc is the worst arc imo. I actually liked the Rapper Bob Arc(I've seen much worse than this arc, like Season 6-8 Spongebob, Jeffys Bad Word, and more).
    Edit: Changed my mind, the Genesis Arc is now my least favorite.

    8:57 boobkin: i can show you the world of Japanese animation
    While 2 out of 3 of the characters showed are video game character (and Unlike some other video game, characters Dont even have an anime adaptation)
    And it isn’t the first time.
    (Exp: character from DDLC, Pokemon and kingdom heart/final fantasy)
    Always have a bit of a problem when they do that (nothing major)
    Make me think they just put whatever character they think look anime and call them anime characters.
    (Maybe I’m more sensible about that because of the youtuber lost pause
    Calling the DDLC and neptunia characters anime girls
    claiming the PlayStation Sony censorship is a big concern to the anime community when the censorship is only affecting PS4 games and have nothing to do with anime, but still claim the censorship is all about censoring "anime girls tits"
    Call the 24 hours pokemon live-streams the biggest troll to the "anime community", when Pokémon is primarily a video game franchise.
    Not saying those are bad but him wrongly associating those topics with anime rubs me the wrong way a little, so each time I see peoples treating video game characters/topics as anime ones always get a bit triggered)
    Sorry for the rant.

      So far, excluding Meggys voice, The TH-cam Arc is my favourite. No where near perfect, but it’s a good set of episodes and shows you can make a good arc with taking your time. Instead of making 3 in one year.

      @sbc-robloxmachinimas7996 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Yeah, and I’m NOT a fan. It’s not entirely her having a voice it’s really just how now ALMOST EVERY CHARACTER HAS ONE! Like it’s only Mario, Luigi, and Saiko now. Yeah, sure. There’s Bowser and Steve but they never appear anymore. It feels like SMG4’s charm (for some people the only charm he had left) is fading away.

    This is my favourite arc, but I understand some of your arguments (although I think you’re trying a bit too hard to be funny) I think there were some flaws in your argument however, and you are taking some things in this arc too seriously. Like the lemonade stand, or boopkins singing, stuff like that.

    • @sbc-robloxmachinimas7996
      @sbc-robloxmachinimas7996 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    • @captainpep3

      Even then, the moment felt a lot more like “why?” They could’ve done a lot more with it. That’s my problem with the arc. They could’ve made it WAY bigger. That’s just me. Every moment in the arc I think of a way to make it just a bit better. Mario’s Lemonade Stand was just, boring. But yeah just me.

  • @captainpep3
    @captainpep3 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I’ll explain why this arc is my favourite,
    1. They make use out of each and every character
    2. They capture the emotion just right
    3. The humour is VERY good
    4. The animation is very good
    5. The action is well directed
    6. Meggy is in her prime (besides meggys destiny) they show her biggest weakness (pride) and her chemistry with desti was executed very well, and they made me care about a character that only showed up in one episode before this. Axol is a great character, and I don’t think he’s the typical “nice guy” or whatever you said he was.
    I actually think the incorporated the two arcs together well, as even though they don’t mix together until one point, the final few episodes make up for that by combining both of the arcs, with desti and francis. They make Francis really unlikable which I love, also the crew went to axol not because saiko thought he created her, but because the thought of other living anime intrigued her, and they brought up that anime was banned where they were and axol volunteered to help them. This arc may not have an epic song like the waluigi arc or bob arc (and now youtube arc), but it has some of the best editing, action, and emotion smg4 has ever had

    • @sbc-robloxmachinimas7996
      @sbc-robloxmachinimas7996 4 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Yes, but. Unpopular opinion alert, if you look at one of the SMG4 rants “Inkling: Become Human” is just pointless and none of the plot points make sense, after the arc is over nothing changed, the only time human Meggy dealt with anything was 3 videos. as a set of 12 videos they’re fine I guess. But as an arc it could’ve been way better. Mario’s Lemonade Stand our of all the possible jobs they could’ve done. And speaking of 12 episodes, that’s WAY to long, and Final Hours felt overplayed, Desti’s Death felt way to forced, like they new her for 4 episode in the entire series of SMG4. Mario Saves Anime was extremely underwhelming when they had to “convince” the anime. That’s just me, I don’t hate this arc, in fact i think the videos are decent at best, jsut as a story it sucks. Same goes for Rapper Bob. Thankfully, The TH-cam Arc fixed these problems aside from Axol not meaning anything to the story.

    • @captainpep3
      @captainpep3 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Microwave Head - Roblox Machinimas I won’t deny that the anime arc has some flaws, but I don’t think meggy becoming human was pointless because that was meant to lead up to meggys destiny which was meggys entire thing, and meggy being human was important for that. I feel that Mario choosing to do lemonade was his idea, and even if it was francis’ idea as we have seen, francis isn’t exactly the brightest character. I actually didn’t mind the 12 episodes but that may be more of an opinion type of thing. I disagree with destis death being forced, it was unexpected and it was sad because this was the first time a character in smg4 has actually died (except Pete, but that doesn’t really count since we see him later). I found them convincing peach that anime was good was a very smg4 thing to do, so I think we can let it pass. (Again, I personally found it funny). So overall I’d say it does have the best story, and I think this dude hates rapper bob arc way too much because if you look deep into it it’s actually pretty good

    • @sbc-robloxmachinimas7996
      @sbc-robloxmachinimas7996 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Personally,ck can’t help but glare at its flaws. And a Meggys Destiny along with 4 videos is trhe only times we get to see her flaws, and it didn’t really “lead up” to it. And I’m a firm believer in every shot matters. And this kind of breaks that entire idea. Really it’s just opinion. I think 7-10 episodes is a decent length for an arc.

      Digital Apple well I think 2020 is a lot better. There is more variety. Not as much variety as the old days but more then 2019. Smg4 brought back Sonic the derphdog (If Mario was in the sonic movie) and 2 ssenmodnar. I know there is an arc in 2020 but it is a lot better than the anime arc. There is only 9 videos and the first 6 videos are just funny, not so serious and pure smg4. The last 4 videos are pretty serious but still funny. It’s could “The TH-cam Arc” and smg3 is in it. You won’t regret watching it.
