timmay_otaku117

Hi Joey :) I am from Chile and I would want to know what do you think about your audience from spanish speaking countries, and if you would like to visit any South American country.

Diefo02

Could you recommend comedy or slice of life anime/manga similar to Saiki K? I absolutely love the style of humor in that show. I also like the humor in Highschool DxD and jojos, especially part 5 anime, to give you a better idea.

Almamatter

Hey joey where can I find or request old manga in English (digital scans/physical copy) like dodge danpei or the mazinger trilogy. BTW congrats on 3 million و سرى الليل يابو ثلاثة

Faisal Al Tayash

do u think a collab with Kana Hanazawa or Runo/meidocafe/melonpan (the swiss hentai comedian if u still havent figured) is possible someday? especially a podcast with runo would could be quite interesting.

Shinobuswolf

if you're looking for english manga, rightstuf anime is great, average volume goes for $7.50

aziz alalatty

Hey Joey, i figured i might ask what're some of your most memorable anime openings/endings. Just had a blast from the past listening to orange range - asterisk(first bleach opening) and Forever we can make it - Thyme(to love ru opening or ending).

MorbidRainbow

hey joey, have you read "Boku wa Mari no Naka"? and if yes what do you think about it?

moonshine

Have you read the manga Hatsukoi zombie / First Love zombie? If not i think you'll enjoy it since it's a ecchi rom/com. If yes, thoughts?

ArchSsen

What are your thoughts on the original FLCL and why do you think people like it? Also the content lately has been fire! Keep up the good work!

Conwon11

Hi Joey. Thanks for answering my previous question on the last Q&A. My question for this month is: You have mentioned before in an episode of trash taste that you watch live action adaptation of anime. What can you say on the ruroni kenshin live action movies? If you have watched them, will you recommend it as a good movie series to watch. Thank you again and keep safe. :)

Ceril Tolentino

Hey Joey! What did you think of JoJolion's last chapter? Also what are you expecting for part 9? I got so hype when I saw that it was confirmed and it's so cool knowing a whole new JoJo part is around the corner

aziz alalatty

Would you ever consider doing a WTF Japan episode on arcades? I think it would be interesting to let the world know how Japanese arcades can house some of the wackiest machine cabinets.

Raveille

What’s a good website to buy manga in bulk? Looking to read 20th Century Boys

Oisin Biehle

Hi Joey! I was wondering if you have ever read/watched Katekyo Hitman Reborn? If so, what’s your opinion on it? It was one of my favorites growing up and I was so disappointed when they ended the anime early. With all of the remakes that have been coming out, I know there are still a lot of fans out there (myself included) hoping that KHR will get its chance someday as well.

Scarlet Spectrum

Yet again a thank you for more advice and your views on the magical world of YouTube. It got me to push out my first ever video review/essay about best tanned loli Nagatoro. Would you ever consider doing...review reviews? Not so much in "lol ur opinion sux" but more in terms of editing, comedical timing, script, etc. (Dont get me wrong, I can totally see why you wouldn't if your DMs would get overflown)

Calvin

Whats your favorite dark themed anime ? My favorite is elfen lied.

loli

Hi Joey! Was wondering if you had any Light Novels recommendations? (Not picky with genres). Btw love your videos and you💙

Tangocash

Whats anime or manga that you love and Aki hates or vice versa.

DarkBeast

Hey sexyboi, u looking quite submissive and breedable today, my question for u, u sussy baka, is what are ur thoughts *breathes deeply* on the greatest *hisses* adult anime *reeeee* also called hentai with the name ITADAKI SEIKI, i would enjoy a DEEEP answer, btw keep up the great work

CrocsOnMyFeet

If and once covid dies down or its safe will you do meet ups in japan?

Daeyoung

I know you said that you don't play visual novels all that much anymore but what would you say that are your 3 favorites visual novels? Also is there any game you would like to play in stream?

TheSistineZone

Ey ol'sport, i never got my catgirl hentai you sussy baka. That is not very big chungus of you if i do say so myself...

Señor Headphone

Hi again Joey. Where is the sauce pal? Think about what's at stake here. Wouldn't want unecessary damage to those around you would you? haha jkjk

Adrian Christoffer Rugelsjøen

If you have a chance to play any game (even if it fps or rhythm games like clone hero or osu, genre of your choice) what will it be and why? This is my First Patreon and I'm enjoying it :)

Outhy

I’m a huge fan for many years! I’m watching this anime called “the case study of vanitas” it’s from square enix. I just feel like it’s riding under the radar. It’s beautifully animated and had a different story to than the usual. If possible can you check it out?!

Kristina Ho

Im a big fan of the Lets Fight Series, when can we get more of that?

DarkBeast

Hey Joey, have you watched what is considered by most the greatest anime of all time? Im talking of course about Legend of the Galactic Heroes. What are your thoughts on this legendary show? Love from Sydney Australia!

S!im Benjo

How would you feel if the industry asked to use an Ikurru song for an OP or ED?

Frog Tales

Hello! Before I start this, thank you for all you do! I've watched your videos for years and I'm sure you'll forever be my favorite youtuber. For context, I started watching anime in elementary and I am now a 24 year old early middle school teacher. My students range from age nine to twelve. I have noticed in the past 2 school years a huge love for anime from my young students which has been awesome to see. We've watched some Sailor Moon and read Yotsuba&! We've watched some Ghibli movies in my class since they were kid friendly. However, I have noticed kids coming at me with watching animes such as Attack on Titan, Fate/Stay the Night, The Promised Neverland, Banana Fish,etc. I try to act oblivious to the fact that I've seen these animes since I know they're not kid friendly and they are more for teens. I try not to worry about it too much. I'VE SERIOUSLY HAD A 12 YEAR OLD TELL ME THAT ANIME GIRLS ARE STUPID THICK lmao. I remember watching Inuyasha in the 5th grade and obsessing over Death Note and Nana at 12. I would love to hear your thoughts on kids watching animes that are for older teens?

GenRojas09

When recording yourself, do you hate your own voice? If you did before, have you overcome it? Any tips for dealing with voice confrontation?

EZ-kun

i wanna ask, is there a way to change me to watch/read/play anything, without asking for some spoilers before hand? i can't seem enjoy any anime/lightnovels or webnovels/games if i dont get some spoiler first. is there a work around this? PS. spoiler as in, mc name, what he/she do after this arc, etc etc. thank you for making such great videos. (if my english sounds whack, sorry, english is not my native language)

wahyujayadi

Due to covid and stuff I can't get a Japanese class. Do you have any suggestions on alternative ways to study Japanese through apps, books or websites etc. Btw love your content. P.s Hanekawa best girl!

Najman

Dad?

Gianluca Allodi

Favourite Naughty Anime As of current? Ps love your stuff man keep it up.

Steven

Hey Joey, thanks for making some entertaining ass content. おもしろい動画を作ってくれてありがとうございます！^_^ What are your thoughts on living in Japan permanently vs visiting on holiday and are there revelations you had after physically moving to Japan that you were unhappy with? I've been weighing the pros and cons of moving to Japan sometime in the future and want a few takes from people living there, thanks!

Dragbit

Since the pv of Chainsawman has now been released, do you think it has the potential to be popular like Attack on Titan, My Hero Acadamia and others? By the way, thanks for reading and mentioning it because it got me to read it and I love it.

FlapJackAce

Is cereal soup? Why or why not?

woomy

Hey Joey, Some of us Asian countries/ cities don't receive a lot of attention even though we have an Anime Convention. I know you don't willingly go to other countries' Conventions due to workload or personal reasons. But, will you ever consider to come to our Hong Kong one? Im sure theres quite a few fans of yours here.

Alvin Law

You may have been asked this, but is there a particular music genre that you absolutely hate

Nathan Bushey

your "I own $5000 worth of manga" video did more for introducing me to new titles and mangaka in 10 minutes than any other video prior (i eagerly await new recommendations each month) Would you think about doing a collection update video sometime in the near future? I'm curious to know what series have filled up the book shelves in the past year

GeoGeo

Hey, Joey! I just picked up Spy x Family (my first paperback bought manga) and wondered if it is at least in your "to read" list and what is your opinion on it. Also IDK if you know but ATLUS is preparing a big event about Persona's 25th anniversary, what do you expect to be revealed or at least teased? Two questions there, so sorry for taking your time. You're GOAT!

Spasimir Trichkov

If you had an unlimited budget and the highest end cast, what anime would you make into a live-action series/movie? I think Berserk would be a great series… or you can go the better route and do BEASTARS but made like Cats

Dead

Thoughts on the pokemon shellos?

spotted lizard

Are you currently hydrated? If not, then hydrate my boi

Corbyn Mejia

dir en grey (experimental but top), gazette (prior 2010 is my fav, especially the stuff you can't find on spotify) are good ones to start. From there your youtube will start recommending heaps for you and you can narrow down your vibes.

KillitNihwa

Ohayo! Hope you are having a wonderful morning, and if not morning then a awesome day! You mentioned in your last reply that you had a J rock concert you planned to go to, but it honestly intrigued me because I don’t know other J-Rock artists besides Nano. I was wondering if you could recommend some fire like I mean FIRE 🔥 J-Rock artist’s that scream and have melody to them as well. I don’t mind any recommendations because I love all kinds of genres~ Thank you again for all the amazing videos you produce! Keep up the fantastic work!

LoyalSerment

Hey Joey, just wandering have you watched legend of korra/ Avatar the last airbenders, if so what do you think of the series and have you read the additional comics that go with them?

Joab

Hey Joey, It's the god of the new world here, I recently just finished Pluto and thought that it was a masterpiece. I remember in your manga collection video that you stated that you hadn't started the series yet. I wanted to know if that changed and if you have read Pluto what are your opinions on it. It is easily one of the greatest manga that I have ever had the pleasure of reading and is better than 20th Century Boys in my opinion. Not a lot of people on the internet talk about Pluto quite as much as things like Monster or other popular seinen manga and I would like nothing more than for this manga to get the praise it rightfully deserves. PS I also recently picked up the entirety of I"s, Judge and Doubt based on your recommendations and if they disappoint me for whatever reason you'll be hearing from me next month lol.

Light Yagami

hi joey it’s my first time on the patreon. my questions are 1. have you played genshin impact or heard of it i know it has a big following but wanted to know what you think 2. i’m new to video games is there any video game titles that you love that u can recommend (any genre)

Norah Easterling

A bit of a downer question, with the COVID-19 cases in Japan rising constantly and the emergency state being extended what is the general mood/ state of mind in Japan currently?

Timor Safian

What do you think about people who directly watch the exclusive Patreon-cut of a new video *instead of the version uploaded to your main channel? Are you concerned about views and watch-time etc.?

SkipperN10

I hear you talking about Martin Scorsese in trash taste a lot. What are some of your favorite Scorsese films? Also, y’all should consider a trash taste episode centered around movies. (Love your anime stuff but just hearing you guys talk about other shit is what makes the podcast.)

Matthew Jones

What is your favorite figure u own, and what is your least favorite.

DarronToy

Thanks for answering my previous question and for doing this Q&A every month my next question is what are your problems with Keijo!!!!!!!! i highly enjoyed it granted me and you tend to disagree a lot on anime but we can agree that Hai to Gensou no Grimgar is a 3 out of 10

Kevin

Since you're part German, has your father ever taught you the German language?

Brumakian Productions

whats your pasta recipe 😩 i suck at cooking and im desperate for easy cooking recipes

Banan

What are frogs?

tomat

Hey Joey! Love the videos and the variety of topics you cover. I was wondering what is the anime that made you the most emotional or made you cry the most? For me it would absolutely have to be Clannad After Story.

Voltoro Darkwatch

Yo Joey! First of all, thanks for uploading these entertaining content. Since my surgery I've been enjoying every video of yours while recovering. I'm a South Korean weeb and I wanted to hear your opinion about Tower of God, because I don't think the Anime did justice to the original webtoon itself. Peace!

ShutInOtaku74

Do you drink water?

69percentBattery

Hey Jeoy! since you're a JRPG fan i was wondering if you've ever played or heard of The Legend of Heroes series? games like Sora no kiseki and Sen no Kiseki, they're my favorites of all time personallly

Fliixy

what's an anime that you love but has an shit Opening/OST, and what's a anime you hate that has a good opening/OST?

HarvZGames

Hey Joey, so my friends and I plan on going to Japan next year in late May or early June. What are the onsens like? I've never experienced being in one, but my friends that have say it's awesome.

Sally Lee

Hey joey have u ever read GOSU

ChocolatePuddin3

Did you know that you have 3 knees? A right knee, a left knee and a we-knee xD

Sutashi

Hey joey, i have 2 questions, would you ever sell signed prints online like connor did a few months ago? And what anime has the worst ending you have seen. Love your videos, big fan from Iceland.

Viktor Freyr

I remember mecha anime genre used to be big in the 90s (Evangelion, Rahxephon, Eureka7, Gundam Wing, Heroic Age?), sadly I have not seen any in recent years that are as good or better. We do somehow have a slew of Isekai anime instead, of which some are good but most are meh. Why do you think that is and do you think the Mecha genre will ever make a come back?

Sid Wahab

I apologize if this question has already been asked but I've recently started collecting figures and was wondering where you got the shelf for you anime figures.

David A Johnson

I’m glad to hear that Final Fantasy is a well loved series by you, what are your thoughts on final Fantasy 7 remake? It seemed to gain a lot of popularity a while back. Even though FFVII wasn’t my favorite, I think FFVII Remake missed some of the really big parts of FFVII.

Sin

Hey Joey, big fan of yours and Aki's stuff (as well as the trash bois)! Question though, do you find you enjoyed more loose romance / SOL stuff more when you were single compared to now? I say this because back when I was single, I couldn't get enough of that stuff (Golden Time, say "I love you", etc), but being in a relationship has kinda put things into perspective for me, and those types of shows seem to portray this "unrealistic" and, no pun intended, "romanticized" version of being with someone IMO... Thoughts?

TinyBatman

Hey Joey love the content happy to help support my favorite content creator. My question is as someone who is thinking about becoming a content creator what kind of advice/criticism can you share with those of us who are just starting out?

Andrew Belenets

Hello Joey. What is your favorite and least favorite martial arts manga?

Jonathan aird

Hey Joey, can you tell us how you were able to find Tyson the ex-yakuza member and get him to do the interview? Was it through a friend of a friend kind of deal or did you just ask around if anyone knew an ex/current yakuza member that you could interview? That video was really cool and I can't imagine that ex-yakuza members just let strangers know of their past. Keep up the great work!

Karina

Hey Joey, bit of a joke question here but are you ever gonna try and take some time to catch up on One Piece? The recent arcs have been phenomenal and I'd sleep better at night knowing you've experienced it.

Lord Elmo

Hi Joey, Can you suggest any authors similar to Mizone? I know they focus on monster girls but doesn't have to be monster girls. Really like their art style and how they write the relationship between the characters in most of their stories. Basically both characters having the same feelings for each other.

Animator22

'Sup Joester, if you if you could remove any sport(s) from the olympics, wich would they be. And if you could add any, what would they be?

Finn Murray

Hearing your thoughts on harems in the previous Q&A I was wondering have you ever read hare-kon? Its a harem series definitely but covers polygamy in a realistic way. (And for anyone in the US/english speaking, it fairly recently got licensed🥳)

ONSK

Hey Joey! You've mentioned before that you became interested in Japanese linguistics from a young age. Did you study classical Japanese as well? Asking because I know it’s part of the standard curriculum for Japanese students, but I don’t know many Japanese learners who’ve actually self-studied it.

Alex H.

Hey Joey, with the recent Castlevania anime, what are your thoughts about American or western made anime? I love your vids and keep up the good work. P.S. I'm so jealous of your manga and figurine collection

Alberto Vazquez

How often do you cry? sorry, I know it's a weird question but I just want to know if other people do as much as I do. Is it due to media such as manga or anime or other affairs? again sorry for the strange question I hope you have a great day.

David Granados

With Aki trying to learn Japanese, how often does she ask you to speak Japanese at home around her / does she ask you to speak Japanese over English often?

John McKenna

Hey Joey, have you read “Blue Giant”? Its an amazing manga about a boy who is determined to become the best jazz musician in the world. (Also what’s with so many manga starting with “Blue”. “Blue Period, Blue Flag, Blue Box, Blue Lock”)

Brianna

So far, how have things been going since you moved?

Jaime Villarreal

Why is は pronounced as "wa" like in "こんにちは?

Antonio Vazquez

Have you read "Boku no Kokoro no Yabai yatsu" by Sakurai Norio? It's a very cute online manga (Manga Cross) about a Jr High boy who is coming out of his chunibyo stage and as he realizes his feelings about the girl in class she becomes cuter and cuter. I'm not sure if this is because the mangaka is getting more skilled at drawing or if this was intentional, but I like to think it's purposeful. Have you seen this technique used before, where a character starts out kind of plain but becomes cuter as the MC realizes their feelings for them?

Douglas Whittaker

Hey Joey, who was your favorite girl in Ichigo 100% and what did you think of the ending p.s if you say Nishino then you're officially a G.

Vic Mako

As a call back from my last question; keep on reading OP (when you have time). Dressrosa is good, but Wano is great. It's ramping up to the end of it, and I am seriously enjoying it. Have you per chance listened to あたらしがっこ? here's a link for you in case you haven't: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4qWc_6u4V9M What is your favourite non Japanese desert? btw I seriously love what you guys did with the TT twitch skin. *chef kiss* I no longer will complain about the donate button lol

DreamingCannibal

As seen from your room tour, you have a lot of stuff and have collections of very rare things. As a person wanting to start collecting seriously, im just curious. Do you have to have a lot of money to own those awesome things in your room? Is it knowing the right people? Is it a "its just grown over the years" type thing? Because i have none of those, unlike you :P

Lewd Dewd

If you were to make an anime, what it would be about?

What’s your favorite sushi fish? I like salmon the most! Also, what’s your record number of plates at a sushi bar?

Ibby (babycake555)

oooh how I was gonna laugh if you'd got the wrong month again lol, it's July Matey, put yer feet up grab some snacks and booze and relax a bit
