This week Joey The Anime Man and AkiDearest are joined by special guest, CrankGameplays YouTuber Ethan. The trio talk about what it's like being a YouTuber, and let us in on being part of the YouTube community. It's very competitive, you often assume people don't like you, but when you meet them in person that's usually not the case. YouTubers don't reveal their whole selves when they're on camera; you only see the parts they want to show you. Sometimes YouTubers will be quite different in person, to what you see on camera. They still want a personal life. Would you want to be successful online?

BTS' 'Fake Love' is everywhere at the moment and for Aki, she is surprised at how big K-Pop has become especially in the US. Joey also recognises how influential and powerful the internet is behind the success of K-Pop, but what does he think of the music itself?

Getting into K-Pop as an anime fan

Fooly Cooly is Joey and Aki's all time favourite anime and new episodes have been released for the first time in 17 years. Why was there such a long wait? And was it worth it?
