JesuOtaku: Difference between revisions

{{workcreator}}

Jacob Hope Chapman (formerly Hope Chapman), aka [[Jesu Otaku]]'''''JesuOtaku''''', is by far the most successful and analytical of the former [[Desu Des Brigade]], currentlyformerly a member of [[That Guy With the Glasses (Website)|That Guy With theThe Glasses]].

SheHe producesproduced a review segment simply entitled "The JesuOtaku Anime Review". HerHis review approach is very analytical, using a four-star rating system. SheHe tries to be as objective as possible and may give high scores to shows that shehe doesn't personally like. SheHe also produced herhis "summer project" (now on hiatus), an audio drama adaptation of [[Fruits Basket (Manga)|Fruits Basket]], everyfrom Wednesday2011 throughoutto summer 20112013 (and which can be found [http://thatguywiththeglassesfurubadrama.weebly.com/videolinks/ir/jo/fruits-basket-radio-drama here] if[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLDA1792EBC12186A4 you'reand interestedhere]). SheHe is notable for herhis large amount of shows:

* [httphttps://thatguywiththeglasseswww.youtube.com/videolinks/ir/jo/jarplaylist?list=PL390B5ADB7FDF0E53 JO Anime Reviews]

* [http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/ir/jo/jolp Various] [[Let's Play|Lets Plays]].

* [[Author Filibuster]]: SheHe used herhis [[FLCL (Anime)|FLCL]] review as an opportunity to go on a rant about how [[Studio Gainax]] are complete HACKS when it comes to making [[Neon Genesis Evangelion (Anime)|Psychological]] [[This Ugly Yet Beautiful World (Anime)|Dramas]] and that they should stick to [[Rule of Cool|over-the-top goofiness]] and simple morals. SheHe addressed this fact on herhis [[Twitter]], and stated that the reason shehe did this was because FLCL was just way too simple for even ''herhim'' to talk about at length.

* [[Berserk Button]]: [[In -Universe]], [[Moe]], and now also an ecchi comedy about [[Brother -Sister Incest]] called ''[[Oniichan no Koto Nanka Zenzen Suki Ja Nai NJanain Dakara Ne (Manga)ne!!|Oniichan No Koto Na...]]'' [[Long Title|ah, screw it]]. SheHe found it painful just to get through ''the first minute'' of the first episode.

** SheHe also seems to have a real and legitimate hatred of people questioning herhim on why shehe doesn't care for ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist (Mangamanga)|Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood]]''. To be fair, this is because people did this INCESSANTLY after shehe made herhis lukewarm feelings towards it clear.

*** And don't tell herhim to read the [[Berserk (Manga)|Berserk]] manga either. People have been telling herhim to do this too.

*** And now we can add the episode "Boogie Woogie Feng Shui" from ''[[Cowboy Bebop (Anime)|Cowboy Bebop]]''.

*** Also, don't get herhim started on any recent work done by ADR Director/Scriptwriter Steven Foster.

* [[Brain Bleach]]: Probably needed it after ''[[Ikki Tousen (Manga)|Ikki Tousen]]'', and even more after ''Eiken'', never mind ''[[Master of Martial Hearts (Anime)|Master of Martial Hearts]]''...

** Subverted in herhis ''[[Master of Martial Hearts (Anime)|Master of Martial Hearts]]'' review, surprisingly. Sage got a [[Pyrrhic Victory]] there.

* [[Break the Cutie]]: Usually calm and collected, JO was reduced to a fit of hysterical rage by the final fight of the [[Yu Yu Hakusho (Manga)|Yu Yu Hakusho]]: Dark Tournament [[Let's Play|video game.]]

** [[Bennett the Sage (Web Video)|Bennett the Sage]] 's goal for herhim. So far he's failed all three times.

* [[Breakup Breakout]]: Not quite. Rather than leaving the [[Desu Des Brigade|Brigade]] after joining up with [[That Guy With the Glasses (Website)|That Guy With theThe Glasses]], shehe still tried to be a loyal brigadier, and herhis new-found popularity did in fact bring in more viewers to the Brigade's site; however, herhis indecisiveness coupled with herhis [[Attention Deficit Creator Disorder]] caused herhim to grow increasingly distant from the Brigade, unofficially breaking off from it about a year from its official disbandment.

* [[Brief Accent Imitation]]: Takes on a self-admittedly goofy Brooklyn gangster accent for herhis ''[[Baccano (Light Novel)|Baccano!]]'' review.

* [[Broke the Rating Scale]]: JO gave ''KissXSis'' a -5/5 and [[Oniichan no Koto Nanka Zenzen Suki Ja Nai NJanain Dakara Ne (Manga)ne!!|Oniichan no Koto Nanka Zenzen Suki Ja Nai N Dakara Ne]] a GTFO.

* [[Catch Phrase]]: "[[Yu Yu Hakusho (Manga)|Sayonara, bye bye!]]"

* [[Cats Are Mean]]: One of JO's cats (the calico) isn't very friendly, as seen in the review for ''[[Fruits Basket (Manga)|Fruits Basket]]''.

* [[Cheshire Cat Grin]] / [[Slasher Smile]]: Sage looks ''terrifying'' at the end of the ''[[Koi Kaze (Manga)|Koi Kaze]]'' review. Seriously, he looks like the cat out of [[American McGee's Alice (Video Game)|American McGee's Alice]].

* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: It's not as apparent in herhis reviews, but if you watch herhis Let's Plays, especially the [[Star Fox 64 (Video Game)|Star Fox 64]] and [[Super Mario 64 (Video Game)|Super Mario 64]] ones, it becomes clear that JO is something of one.

** HerHis Twitter is also a good source, especially after shehe's had 5 cans of coke.

** SheHe also mentions in herhis ''[[Azumanga Daioh (Manga)|Azumanga Daioh]]'' review that among herhis friends, shehe's known as the [[Trope Codifier|Osaka]] of the group.

* [[Companion Cube]]: HerHis [[Fun Withwith Subtitles|snarktitles]]. Until they have a brief falling out about their use in the ''[[Now and Then, Here And There (Anime)|Now and Then Here And There]]'' review, making up afterward.

** The titles were ''not'' happy when [[What theThe Fuck Is Wrong With You?|Nash]] subbed in to review ''[[Transformers Animated (Animation)|Transformers Animated]]''.

* [[Cool Big Sis| Cool Big Bro]]: SheHe lets herhis little sister make cameos in the live-action intros (''[[Beck (Mangamanga)|Beck]]'' and ''[[Princess Tutu (Anime)|Princess Tutu]]'' being notable examples), and off-screen shares some of the more child-friendly anime with her.

* [[Covert Pervert]]: JO may be very academic and studious, but shehe might have a dirtier mind then [[Desu Des Brigade|Vix]], as seen in Pocky Spot 22:

{{quote| "Kyoya, you're not quite dressed for the occasion; ''you have to take your pants off too!''"<br />

* [[Crossover]]: The number has been steadily rising since shehe joined TGWTG. Notable examples include a review of ''[[Sucker Punch (Film)|Sucker Punch]]'' alongside [[Bad Movie Beatdown (Web Video)|Film Brain]], herhis status as a regular on herhis ex-boyfriend Nash's [[What theThe Fuck Is Wrong With You (Web Video)?|WTFIWWY]] and Radio Dead Air (he returns the favor by appearing on herhis streams on a regular basis, and also appeared in herhis review of ''[[Transformers Animated (Animation)|Transformers Animated]]''). Also, rumors indicate she's due tohe appearappears in the 4th Anniversary Special.

* [[Crowning Music of Awesome]]: HerHis Top 15 Dub Themes, invoked in-universe. Topping the list was, but of course, ''[[Pokémon (Animeanime)|Pokémon]]''. Nothing specific, just ''Pokémon''.

* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: HerHis "snarktitles" in all of herhis reviews but ''[[Now and Then, Here And There (Anime)|Now and Then Here And There]]''.

* [[Dear Negative Reader]]: Released a full-length one over herhis Twitter sometime around mid/late-2011 in response to the frequent complaints about herhis aforementioned ADCD.

* [[Despair Event Horizon]]: Bennett the Sage keeps trying to "break" Jesu by showing herhim horrible, sick anime. It eventually backfired when shehe got over it, but ''he'' got depressed.

* [[Double Standard Abuse (Female Onon Male)]]: HerHis crossover review of ''[[Sucker Punch (Film)|Sucker Punch]]'' with [[Bad Movie Beatdown (Web Video)|Film Brain]] was a pretty severe example of this.

* [[Evil Is Cool]]: [[Invoked Trope|Invoked]] as the main criteria for herhis Top 20 Deliciously Evil Villains list.

* [[Fun Withwith Subtitles]]: While introducing the review for ''[[Now and Then, Here And There (Anime)|Now and Then Here And There]]'', JO gets into a fight with the Red Snark Titles.

* [[Gag Boobs]]: To make fun of the large breasts of one of the main characters in the anime ''[[Grenadier (Anime)|Grenadier]]'', JO stuffed soccer balls up the top of herhis T-shirt, and as part of the joke, even balanced a plate of food on them and ate from it.

* [[Gag Nose]]: In herhis ''[[Phoenix (Manga)|Phoenix]]'' review, shehe points out a recurring character's bulbous and almost tumorous nose. SheHe even plays the ''[[Inception (Film)|Inception]]'' music while zooming the camera in on it to point out how bizarre it is.

* [[Heroes Love Dogs]]: SheHe's been shown playing with a roommate's dog and herhis love for wolves is part of why shehe loves ''[[Wolfs Rain (Manga)|WolfsWolf's Rain]]''.

* [[Hey, ItsIt's That Voice!]]: JO plays this game a few times, more notably in herhis review of ''[[Jyu -Oh -Sei (Manga)|Jyu Oh Sei]]''.

* [[Hurricane of Euphemisms]]: While summarizing ''[[Ikki Tousen (Manga)|Ikki Tousen]]'', JO went through just about every synonym for [[Panty Shot|underwear]] (and a few breast mentions as well). It underscores that [[This Is Gonna Suck|this review is going to be rough]].

* [[It Is Pronounced "Tro -PAY"]]: YAY-zoo? JEH-soo? SheHe's pronounced it both ways...

* [[Kindhearted Cat Lover]]: SheHe enjoys letting cats show up (i.e. herhis roommates' cats) in herhis videos.

* [[Let's Play]]: ''[[Star Fox 64 (Video Game)|Star Fox 64]]'', ''[[The Legend of Zelda: MajorasMajora's Mask (Video Game)|The Legend of Zelda Majoras Mask]]'', and ''[[Super Mario 64 (Video Game)|Super Mario 64]]'' on the Nintendo64.

* [[Mood Whiplash]]: Directly after reviewing ''[[Fruits Basket (Manga)|Fruits Basket]]'', JO reviewed ''[[Now and Then, Here And There (Anime)|Now and Then Here And There]]'', an anime shehe considered too depressing to even make fun of.

* [[Naked People Are Funny]]: In the [[Witchblade (Animeanime)|Witchblade]] review:

{{quote| '''JesuOtaku:''' By God, if I can't make a good impression, I might as well make a lasting one!}}

* [["Not Making This Up" Disclaimer]]: The line "That's not a metaphor" is something of a [[Running Gag]].

** A particularly unbelievable bit in ''[[Master of Martial Hearts (Anime)|Master of Martial Hearts]]'' gets a "THIS IS A THING THAT HAPPENS" caption.

* [[Pink Product Ploy]]: SheHee bought a computer case which was part of a PC [[What theThe Fuck Is Wrong With You (Web Video)?|Nash]] came out to build for herhim because of its unique pink color.

* [[Pokémon -Speak]]: Points out Nyu's tendency to do this in ''[[Elfen Lied (Manga)|Elfen Lied]]''.

* [[Pretty Fly for Aa White Guy]]: In the opening to ''[[Samurai Champloo (Anime)|Samurai Champloo]]'' review and herhis first line of the [[Digimon (Franchise)|Digimon]] retrospective. The snarktitles are not impressed.

{{quote| ''Aow! It's August!''}}

* [[Readings Blew Up the Scale]]: JO's "Metafiction meter" blows up at least twice during herhis review of ''[[Digimon Tamers]]''.

* [[Real Women Never Wear Dresses]]: The ''[[Mahoromatic (Manga)|Mahoromatic]]'' review starts with herhim playing a maid, before shehe gives it up and complains "I'm in a ''dress''. I'm wearing ''make-up''. I hate all of you."

* [[Running Gag]]: HerHis gripes about [[GONZO]] and their varying production values.

** From herhis live stream, [[Fire Emblem Tellius (Video Game)|Boyd]] being blamed when something crashes or doesn't work properly on the stream.

** From herhis playthrough of [[Fire Emblem Tellius (Video Game)|Path of Radiance]], the silly voices shehe uses for characters.

** Also from herhis stream, the people in the chat shouting "NAIL!" whenever Soren, who has the voice of Super Kami Guru, appears. It has gotten to the point where JO tells them early on to get it out of their system.

* [[Say My Name]]: JO at the end of the ''[[Koi Kaze (Manga)|Koi Kaze]]'' review, upon realizing [[Bennett the Sage (Web Video)|who]] sent herhim ''[[Master of Martial Hearts (Anime)|Master of Martial Hearts]]''.

{{quote| JO: '''''SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGE!!!!'''''}}

* [[Schedule Slip]]: JO's "Digimon Month", a month of reviews of the first five seasons of ''[[Digimon (Franchise)|Digimon]]'' was intended to encompass August 2010. The ''[[Digimon Adventure (Anime)|Digimon Adventure]]'' review finally came out on August ''20th'' (with part 2 only half-done until about a week later). It then took until November 6th for the first part of ''[[Digimon Adventure 02 (Anime)|Digimon Adventure 02]]'' to be released, followed by parts 2 and 3 on the 23rd (and part 2 half-done until the 28th). Following ''02'', herhis weekly anime review continued for the first time since July, with the fate of rest of the ''Digimon'' reviews left uncertain.

** SheHe recently stated on herhis new Formspring account that they will continue, but they'll come as they're done, like Linkara's [[History of Power Rangers (Web Video)|History of Power Rangers]].

** HerHis "Month of Mayazaki" didn't quite fit in just one month, probably because shehe was moving IRL at the time.

* [[Shoo Out the Clowns]]: JO forwent herhis usual "Snark Text" subtitles during herhis ''[[Now and Then, Here And There (Anime)|Now and Then Here And There]]'' review for fear of damning herhis eternal soul by making fun of something so depressing.

** Except in one short instance: Lampshading the intentional [[Mood Whiplash]] (From the director of ''[[Fruits Basket (Manga)|Fruits Basket]]'', everybody!).

* [[The Smart Guy|The Smart Girl]]: For the [[Desu Des Brigade]].

* [[Something Else Also Rises]]: In JO's review for ''[[Chobits (Manga)|Chobits]]'', shehe gave it X "Good Mornings" with appropriate gestures.

* [[Squee]]: Not herselfhimself, but herhis snarktitles don't pass the chance in the ''[[Ouran High School Host Club (Manga)|Ouran High School Host Club]]'' review.

{{quote| "Seriously [[Have I Mentioned I Am Heterosexual Today?|I'm straight]] but that [[Cowboy Bebop (Anime)|gurlgirl]] is [[Even the Girls Want Her|dead]] [[Ms. Fanservice|sexy]]."<br />

"Wow. It's times like this I wish I could whistle. You could stop traffic with a body like that." (in addressing Elizabeth from [[Trigun (Manga)|Trigun]]) }}

* [[What Do You Mean ItsIt's for Kids?]]: Invoked: When commenting on the scenes that didn't get edited out of the Toonami showing of ''[[Outlaw Star]]'', shehe snarks "Toonami: Women abuse...for kids! :D"

* [[Who Names Their Kid "Dude"?]]: Asked this via snarktitles in regards to [[Baccano (Light Novel)!|Jacuzzi Splot]] ("No really, WHAT were his parents on?")

* [[Your Mom]]: In the snark text captions of herhis ''[[Outlaw Star (Anime)|Outlaw Star]]'' review, when comparing the plot structure to a round robin story-telling game:

{{quote| "I went to the store and saw..."<br />

"Your mom! OOH!"<br />

"Come on, Brad, can we get through ONE ROUND!?"<br />
