I genuinely really enjoyed that, especially considering it was #spon! And there's a second channel video to go with it with anime recommendations! The sketch bits were great and the end with Haru pillow really got me

forget phan it's all about Daru-Chan now

Oh god... he just Un-Haru-d Haru.

THE END IS NIGH!!!! REPENT!!!! NOW!!!!

Also: Dan's Anime recs over on DINI.

"Abs and angst" and we're only a third in I didn't prepare for this

The acknowledgement of the Haru pillow + plus the 'abs and angst' comment...is there anyone subscribed to Dan who legitimately believes he's straight anymore? Is there anyone on this forum who does? I'm asking for science. Also I am slightly annoyed that he pronounced 'otaku' wrong.

bedhead91 your avatar gives me life

Thank you, I'm mildly obsessed with Twenty One Pilots :mrgreen:

Fucking Dan, Because you made the Harry Potter joke

If anything It's OtAku not OtakU.

I loved this too much, especially the chinwobbly Dan, in the middle of the night.

More of this pls.

Edit: A SECOND VIDEO? I was not prepared for this.

OK... So. Just finish posting THIS: http://indepthbants.prophpbb.com/topic120.html#p3944 I check back to this main thread, and... Oh FFS.

I wasn't prepared for this! Off to watch the two vids.

*slowclaps*
Yes Daniel. This is the DINOF we have wanted for ages now, I hope you see that this is what we want and you get back what has been missing

That Haru part. Had me in tears. It was informative and it is a ad video done right like Phils was. Not shoving the Spon down your throat but making a normal video and mentioning it at the end.

Off to watch the recommendations now and probably rewatch the main video

that Moffat mention though. I swear we was only talking about that a couple of pages ago!!

I really liked the video. His ranting on anime really showed how much trash he actually was. And he finally came out with his Haru pillow (moment of applause). I actually watched Free! because of them so it was funny to see all the terms for fangirling. Nice video Dan

so my initial incoherent and unformulated response to those two videos was just that they've provided an avalanche of new material for the attraction thread

That was my first thought as I watched the video. lol.
I like that the main video didn't mention crunchyroll, but had a linked video that did.
I liked it. +1 shot of shirtless Dan in bed. hah.
Also the 'cute boys in speedos' comment in his side channel video.... ahahah

Seems like Dan and Phil at least partially really enjoy sponsoring with crunchyroll since they both did ads for it. Either way, very smart business move on crunchyroll's part, as D&P actually got me into watching death note last semester (before I promptly put a hold on my budding anime habits so I could finish school).

EDIT: also, re: second channel video. Is dan just going to pretend we haven't heard the train story from the girl who met him? lol. Just use your second channel more pal, I don't care how embarrassing the anecdote is.

I don't even want to know tbh, there are people who still think nobody's been on the moon. I want to cry from happiness right now. Haru. Sketches. I don't even care if it's a #spon because it was done well and I just love life atm. Keep amping up the 'subtlety' Dan, break shit.

At first because of the inflection I thought he said "Ota-kun" and I had no idea who he was talking about

almost there..

^^^ This cheeky shit got us so bad with this screencap.

Dan, dropping 18 minutes video. How am I gonna catch up with this thread?
I love the small sketches he does. I love how passionate he is talking for 12 minutes about anime he likes. I love his genuine love for anime, I guess. And good job for crunchyroll for sponsoring the right youtubers.

And wth Dan just acknowledge his haru pillow.

could this actually be the start of the chatty side channel videos dan's been hinting at for months? i really hope so, because i really liked the feel of that video. it was a nice balance between his liveshows and main channel videos - less of the dinof persona that can be off-putting in the main channel vids but a bit more 'polished' than his liveshows.

i'm also overwhelmed by the number of homoerotic references. i feel spoiled.

yeah really enjoyed the anime video considering it was a spon, love the Haru stuff

don't have anything of any value to add, just wanted to comment on how much I love the tone of the second channel video (only like a couple of mins in but I wish Dan just sat and did casual vids like that more often) he's such a handsome chap

he needs to get on that second channel anecdote vid asap

(also yeah I think anyone who thinks he's straight is probs in denial lol)

I found this interesting.

have we got an attraction thread on this site yet? if not this needs to happen soon!

Really liked the main video. I agree that it was spon done really well. Let’s be honest the thumbnail alone was already golden. And the haru pillow thing in the vid was just so
Really anybody thinking he is still straight should get their head examined. Sorry. Not sorry.
Now off to watch the other vid.

Dan, I really appreciate you mentioning the strain that pirating is causing to the anime industry.

Ahh, I feel like I have been blessed somehow and my life had become somewhat more complete.
Y u no Saikano or Ergo Proxy tho?

All them homoerotic references, even a Phil mention in the side channel video.

okay first of all, as soon as i saw the thumbnail i choked

i didn't have high expectations for the assumed crunchyroll spon coming up because i lost interest in anime years ago but omg!! i was so pleasantly surprised

dan's skit!!! i'm so happy abt this, the dan content i love
also cheeky merch spon at 1:28

the haru part had me in stitches yess dan bring the homo to the main channel

i'm going to watch the second channel video later but i hope these become a regular thing. i like the sitting in front of the webcam and chatting to us vibe this video seems to have.

Lol same. I think he literally pronounced all the Japanese words wrong but ah well

The "hinting" at the attraction twds men is getting bolder

I vaguely remember him talking about this in a liveshow...what happened again?

i don't really like anime that much ive watched like 4 and dont really care about it and i cannot stand otaku culture at all and find it really gross but i liked the general format of the video, and i still laughed at the sketch parts and stuff. it was an objectively fun video i guess, i'm just not interested in the topic because i solely love neon genesis evangelion
but i like seeing that someone's japanese pronunciation is worse than mine. though he has a perfectly valid reason and i have none tbh
i didnt like the comparison between otaku culture and fangirls writing fics and stuff. its a lot worse than that, its not something to be envious of, its not a culture of people just enjoying nerdy tv shows, its really gross.
