Well I did my best to produce a video focusing on The Pretty Boy Detective Club.

It kinda bothered me that this was being so underrated, even within the Monogatari fandom (from what I've seen).

Any and all criticism is welcome.

I think you are not focusing on the right points that makes this anime good. Harem and reverse harem can be good, and the monogatari series is actually a harem because there's more girls that interact with koyomi, same here. Imo you should focus more on the interesting conversation and messages of the show concerning the real prettiness, and also the visuals that are really good (this dance part on the opening is just woah). You are just making a summary of the plot here. Also you should maybe shorten the jokes. Otherwise your pronunciation is good and the video is not boring, the timing for the presentation is good

thank you for the constructive criticism! I definitely see what you mean in terms of focus. Also managing the pacing of a video has been harder than I anticipated xD

Well actually saying that Monogatari is or isn't a Harem is almost a meme at this point as you can see people debating over that to this day. Database websites don't list it as a harem, also the story itself is sort of a parody of harem anime, so I mean, I sort of put that in there as a joke x)

Glad you found something to enjoy in the video, thanks!

I could never forget when Kagenui talked about joining the Araragi harem, i burst out laughing. I think bishounen tanteidan has the same kinda vibes because the boys are presented as a selling point for the show, I mean look at their smiling faces it's like they are saying "hey I'm husbando material come ship me baby"

exactly, the thing with Monogatari is that it is technically a harem, since by definition Araragi is surrounded by females with interest in him. The twist is that no matter how much teasing we are given, he already has a girlfriend from the beginning of the story basically. Well, it's self aware, but it's also a kind of parody almost.

And yeah, the Pretty Boys are definitely the selling point. Now to question one's sexuality... NisiOisiN HAD to get a boy that makes for a beautiful girl and a girl that makes for a beautiful boy! Gosh darn mate

@IJustLoveToCry pretty much adressed the main points, and I do think that the summary you made, whilst good, might make the first couple episodes predictable and boring for a new viewer, because he already gets a good idea of what is gonna happen. On the other hand, since this series is more focused on its theme and on dialogue rather than plot, it might not influence that much.

Either way, I'd like to compliment your editing and overall job with narration. I don't know how long you've been doing this, but it's pretty good. I'm sure you could grow your channel if you also talked about popular anime as well.

The only problem in your post was that you forgot to close the quote with [/quote] at the end of it. You must have accidentally removed it when you were typing. If you press quote on this post here, you'll see what I'm talking about.

Okay let's see then I think I get it! Also it can be interesting to just watch the show and see the tropes that are used in reverse harem. I personally watch pretty boys because of the dialogs and the art of course but I really enjoy the "reverse harem" part actually. I'm not homosexual but I love emphasizing with the mc and have a better understanding of what kind of things ppl attracted to men tend to like in these shows.

yes, I feel the same. Much like Monogatari plays with harem, Bishounen plays with reverse harem definitely, although Mayumi (at least so far) definitely doesn't show attraction to any of the boys, it's more admiration for them and wanting to be a part of them.

If anything, it's more leaning towards Mayumi exploring her boy-ish side.

Maybe I should've covered these points in the video, but oh well. I think I already improved upon my previous videos so in the future I'll do my best to do better

I really appreciate all your observations.

I didn't mind spoiling a bit of the first arc because the main focus were people who dismissed the show to begin with, so if anything I had to say makes anyone give it a chance it's a win for me xD

I made this channel in March. I started doing random videos going over MAL Forums just to start being productive, but I'm scripting all my videos from now on.

Thank you once again for the encouraging words :)

Thank you for your service... I really do want this anime to continue beyond 12 episodes. If nothing else, it is some serious eye candy for me when the week gets dull.
