    They say shonen protagonists cry "now" but Goku cried when he was reunited with grandpa Gohan, Yusuke cried when he thought kuwabara died, Naruto cried when he overheard Iruka sensei acknowledge him, Ichigo cried when Ginjo took his powers, and people in One Piece cry numerous times. They've always been crying.

    Love this channel... I have learned so much about this genre that i never knew!! You all are amazing!! And I've found a new comedian to listen to in Yedoye as well 😌👌🏼 nothing but love for you all 💯💯
  • This is the best YouTube channel!! If I were on a desert island and only had one thing to watch it would be 'Get In The Robot'!! I have been an otaku before I even knew what that was. As a child in the mid 60's (yes, that is not a typo), I loved 'Astro Boy' and 'Kimba' to the horror of my parents... Now I collect anime and love the education I get from GITR! Thanks again and keep up the great work:) Also I would love to adopt Dorrie as my daughter:) PEACE:)

    As a mom, I’m horrified at the thought of my sons flipping girls’ skirts at school. They’d definitely be punished. As a manga reader who loves a bit of fan service... I get it. 👀😂😫
  • @ShiBone13
    Not to confuse anyone, you should mention that devilman was published by weekly shonen magazine and not by jump. Also inuyasha is from weekly shonen sunday
  • @chickrepelant
