Super Eyepatch Wolf
While Super Eyepatch Wolf is most famous for making videos exploring the appeal of popular anime like One Piece, Bleach, and Naruto, his most interesting videos are about more unorthodox topics exploring the charm of occasionally brilliant storytelling in professional wrestling, the internet’s bizarre reinterpretation of Sonic the Hedgehog, and the unsettling-yet-irresistible allure of creepypastas like the backrooms. In my years of watching Eyepatch Wolf, I’ve discovered that the more outlandish the topic, like say his essay on mystic martial arts or his take on what Space Jam 2 could/should have been, the better the video essay.
There you have it, five of my favorite video essayists, who you can happily spend hundreds of hours watching talk about various obscure and fascinating media. I hope you’ll share some of your favorites below, too.
