On the topic of anime YT'bers though, what's everyone's following list like?
You mean in general, or specifically with relation to stuff like anime reviews? I don't watch any of the latter, so my list is gonna be hella short there, but for the former here are a few I like:
KayPlays - As you'd expect, LPs. She's extremely observant and analytical, so she's great with stuff like the Dark Souls series or Gone Home, which benefit from digging into lore and such.
Grickle - Co-director of Boxtrolls and creator of the Puzzle Agent games. Weird and funny animation.
FarFromSubtle - YT channel for Video Games Awesome, I like their "Show & Trailer" episodes
Potholer 54 - Science and debunking stuff, not posting much these days
Honest Game Trailers - Not a channel per se, but part of Smosh Gaming. I usually watch in batches.
Jim Sterling - Occasionally I remember he exists and does a segment on something I'm interested in, but not a regular watch.
LobosJR - His One Punch Man run of Dark Souls is probably the funniest run ever made. Again, not a regular watch, but I catch his stream occasionally.
HexDSL - A MineTest friend, he does stuff on Linux gaming mostly.
Her Story Show - Obvious reasons.
Zee Avi Music - Great musician from Malaysia, hasn't uploaded much lately.
Most of the other stuff I watch is generally along those lines. Game stuff, music stuff, the occasional webseries, and science/skepticism stuff, plus stuff by people I know.
