To be honest I discovered these later after discovering your videos and I just enjoyed them for playlist junk food. It was nice to just let something play not have to worry about missing something.

It did not have the desired affect on me that I think Liam intended. I started watching one piece when I got stuck on a Night Shift at my job unexpectedly. All of the sudden I had a massive amount of time spent alone. The playlists formed by the encyclopedic type content that GLR produced, gave me something to listen to in the background, and made me feel like I wasn’t alone. They benefited my mental health immensely, It also bridged me into the OP community. I set a goal of catching up on OP by the time I got off of my Night Shift, which I did. I am loyal to Liam because of that kind of content, so when it played it made me miss the old days… 😢

@@parkerelliott5125 I used to do a lot of paperwork and filing in my old job (physical filing and paperwork, as in boxes full of pages stacked on one another) and I ALWAYS put something in the background just to make some noise. Liam's One Piece 101 made that list all the time.

I'm glad you made this video, and I'm glad you're enjoying making the content you want to. I miss the old content, but you can't narrowcast your channel for the dozens of us that enjoyed it. And if I haven't told you lately, I love the Alabasta dry wit you put in your videos. Thank you Liam.

I found you through the 101 videos and I truly wish you made more of them. I'll watch you regardless bcuz I love all your vids but I miss those vids. They were good to treat like podcasts.

Who didn't like your personality?!? When you played the old clip, you sounded almost too professional. Like it's a job, and not a series you enjoy. Your energy and excitement makes it real...I'll be 40 next month, and I love that others get that same level of emotion from the series. TLDR...keep being you

I'm really glad you made the ones you did bc I binged them during pandemic to refresh my memory...

Please bring back the DF list thingy. I love it to binge when I am going to sleep.

I find these sorts of behind the scenes quabbles really interesting to hear you talk about, as I've also found myself locked into numerous very long-running series where the same exact problem crops up (some videos are obvious hits, like Luffy in your case, while others attract nowhere near as much attention). In my case, they are at least completely evergreen, so I don't need to worry about redoing them at a later date 😅 Haven't been following you for long, so I don't have the same attachment to your older content as some other people here, but I can very much relate to how hard it is to just cut content. 😬 Insightful as always! 👍

Thanks to you I was able to catch up to my friends, since I started OP only two years ago during the pandemic, and now I’m way more into it than they are

I'm actually feel a little bit of nostalgia when I hear the music you used in the 101 series. That music will always remind me my first steps into the world of One Piece

I was wondering why there weren't any new additions.. I freaking loved that playlist and will watch some again with my girlfriend when we're done with the Alabasta arc, i'm so happy i got her into One Piece with me!!

101 videos are my favorite. The little quote you put at the beginning of each one really gives them so much character and really puts me in the world

Thank you for making this video. It answers all the questions I had about you stopping making them

I've been watching GLR for a while now. It's honestly been probably 5 years now. Back then I subscribed because I could use your videos to fall asleep too. I liked your voice and getting to know the series in a way I never thought about. All the detail you put into your scripts were outstanding and I wanted to know that knowledge. I spent like 4 months just listening to your recap of each arc in the series on repeat. I've seen the change until then and it's still good. I love your comedy and humor. Also I can relate to you with all the social anxiety and stuff. Your are an amazing creator and I'm so proud to say that I am part of this channel. Thank you Liam because without you there wouldn't be GLR, it would just be LR because you put the grand in GrandLine Review

Really good to hear you talk about this. I massively miss the 101 videos, they were what got me into the channel and I've been annoyed at them going way. Knowing why makes a big difference. Thank you!

Thank you for making this video! Those two series of yours helped me find your channel, but also helped respark my love of the series during the pandemic after I’d dropped it for a while after dressrosa, so I always wondered why the stopped. They really helped get me caught up (after I jumped back in post time skip) and remind me all the amazingness id forgotten after dropping the series for a bit. I still watch every new video that comes out, but I still fondly play those two series (and your arc reviews ) to listen to on long car rides . Sad to see them end but happy it helped you evolve as a KZreadr !

Those videos are how I discovered your page and what made me follow. Those videos were great!

Thanks for taking the time to explain the changes behind your video content! It really helped me understand why things are different from before and what you're going for now.

Thank you and Well done Liam for every video you have made. Awesome content indeed, even those from 2016 and 2017. I have watched you when I was in my country Yemen, then in Malaysia during my bachelor and master degrees, and now in Australia while conducting my PhD. Thanks for making my life joyful. Looking forward for more.

My youtube feed just wouldn’t be the same without the daily injection of great quality one piece content so i’m ever so happy u never really gave up on making these! Thanks my guy and keep it up!! 🥰

I liked those videos! For a good while they were my fix for when i finished watching your current stuff. Your content is awesome and i love your sense of humor

Thanks for giving us your perspective on your situation

I first found ur channel when u were still working on your film Friday series, i had just caught up with the series and wanted to know which movies were worth watching. Then I stumbled on all ur other videos and have been watching ur videos since. so its been about 4/5 yrs since i first started watching you. I miss ur original content but still enjoy what ur doing now!

This was my favourite video series. It's what introduced me to your channel...

That clip in the end gave me mad nostalgia and you did spark my interest in one piece and now I’m a big fan of one piece and you. thank you and keep up the good work

I actually discovered your channel through your OP 101 videos as I had just started reading OP and wanted to learn more about the OP world

Your video series was the reason i started one piece and i can't thank you enough for introducing me to this masterpiece!!

Having those playlists up until today is a cool thing to have. I saw one of your videos, and as i wanted to hear more stuff from this one dude in a room, i saw those playlists. because old chapter reviews of chapters i read months ago are boring.

You literally described how I got into one piece, watched enough 101 videos till I realized I was invested and now I own a bunch of volumes and took a year to catch up (I work full time, reading time is pretty limited)

You just made me nostalgic with the Tashigi clip. Those were great! (Along with the channel comments videos 😂)

I have to say I did love both of those series, I still sometimes chuck the old ones on just whilst I’m playing Minecraft or something because I love listening to the world of one piece and u haha, we will always be part of the grand fleet, love you brother keep it up

I love this video because it’s in match step with how I got into One Piece. I started with the 101’s then finished those as the channel started moving in a new direction. Now I buy film tickets and merch, keep up the great work my dude!

These series were the reason I got as deep into one piece as I did. The 5 minute recap really helps jumping in. Your reasons for stopping are definitely solid though

Hooooolly damn, that last clip just "hit me right on the nostalgia balls", rly licked it, and am still really missing DF encyclopedia, I watched that entire playlist 2 to 3 times while working and really enjoyed, but can't lie and say I haven't enjoyed the latest content either, I truly believe there must be a balance between what the creator wants to do and what his audience wants to see, so even though I might miss that damn playlist, I completely understand it and won't leave just because of that (have said some time ago in one of the 101 videos that your way of speaking, interacting and telling a story from another character's point of view is just great and I really enjoy it), so that's for sure that I'll be here for the rest of the ride 🙏👍

That's how I found you a couple years ago, I loved the 101 series! Was only watching you and tekking back then. One piece KZread has blown up lately and I'm here for it

I definitely miss the old background music!!! This music was what kept me on your channel.

Your 101 videos brought me back to one piece but I support your decision and agree with your reasoning. I do miss the 101 and enjoyed your detached relay of the facts but I also enjoy what you do these days. Whatever you do on your channels I'm here for it. Go dude!

I found your channel from the 101 series. My kids loved watching them with me.

i loved those series! as much as i would like to see a return, i get what youre saying. eventually you'll be remaking the same video for only 1 line of new info. but those series were absolutely amazing, they got me to subscribe to you

So you helped me get back into one piece after a long hiatus. Those videos served as a refresher. I had heard the strawhats were in wana and i had stoppsd after dressrosa for a long time. I truthfully forgot most people. Once i felt refreshed enough i finally caught up. Now im a huge one piece fan. Pre-ordering odyssey tonight.

I started watching One Piece in the dark times of mid 2020 after years of actively avoiding it. Once I started, finding your videos (one piece 101, devil fruit encyclopedia) really helped me connect, enjoy, & understand One Piece even more 🙏🏽

I found you through the 101 videos, got me into the manga!

As someone who just started KZread as a hobby, thank you very much for this one; this one is surely evergreen!

I loved the devil fruit encyclopaedia and that was the reason I subscribed. I stayed for the dry humour in the commentary and the silly subscribe games. It's great to see how this channel has grown! I do hope you'll really go back and do the hypothetical fights and rankings, those were fun!

I'm glad I found it still running and it helped me understand a lot about One Piece from them

damn, I'm so nostalgic watching this video with your old voice ! I'd be super excited to see on last One piece 101

I always wondered what happened to the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia went, I loved the hell out of that series, let me learn things about devil fruits that I didn’t even know were parts of the fruit in the series and let me learn more about OP, that’s what got me hooked on your channel in the first place

I found your videos at a pretty low point in my life just depressed and unmotivated. I would sit at home and just fall asleep watching DBZA and every time after the final episode at the time aired YT would decide to serve up your kuzan 101 video. It's what got me into One piece. Did shit for my depression though.

I watch for your personality, its so refreshing and fun, so Im glad you made that decision! :)

Bro, I honestly really glad you didn’t quit. A good lesson on persevering

Oh shit that end clip gave me some strong ass nostalgia of binging your series at night

The one piece 101 series was my introduction to your channel! I'm so happy you decided to come back and do more of them !!!!

101 is what got me into your channel. i looked for videos for my friend to catch her to one piece so that both of us could more or less enjoy one piece stamped

It's been crazy watching GLR develop over the years. I used to constantly watch the old vids and remember when you shifted to put more personality into it, wasn't quite sure where you were going with it but definitely love where you are now

Oh my God I wasn’t gonna leave another comment but that’s so funny you were like a machine. I really admire you man thank you for your awesome advice

I love the new editing looks amazing 👍 i love Dude in A Room content 🔥

One piece 101 is how I find your channel and I've loved how you've ran and improved it since

I would really love to see your updated top 10 videos... 😁

Personally I would totally be watching the crews 101 7.0 but that's me. I like your old stuff and your new stuff. Been watching since 2016. Your content makes my day

thank you for reminding me why I fell in love with your channel

Good to hear your explanation.

One Piece 101 and the DF Encyclopedia are what introduced me to the chapter, and I've been wanting to see you start doing them again. That being said, your completely right in everything you said in this video, as much as I liked them, it doesn't make alot of sense to keep doing them

kind of when a band lands a hit, and after that just repeats the process that landed them the hit in the first place. it takes a lot of courage to change the formula, and hats of to you for doin that. :)

They are stil fun to listen too. An the humor adds a lot.

Your Humor and love shine thru so much more nowadays! My Favorite podcasts are Blue Banana and The Weekly Planet. So 2 Australian podcasts or 1 and 1/2 lol

I discovered GLR around 2k subs, then I took a break from the manga in 2019, picked it up again in late 2021, only to see that you blew up. Now you're currently the biggest One Piece tuber!! I'm proud of you Liam ; you earned it 🙏🏽 On another note I'd love to see a complete breakdown/guide of "How to KZread" , doesn't matter the length; I'd watch even if it were 2 hrs long. I'd just love to see all the behind the scenes work that goes into producing amazing content straight to my feed lol specifically the analytical side of things.

I found your channel right after you stopped making those 101 videos and plus I've watched Tekking for a very long time so I knew most of that info already lol but love what you do now and what you've done over the last couple years

I really love the writing in your vids from. Recent years. Also I like how this vid is your response to those negative comments. Your Thoughts are Content. Thank you Liam

the one piece 101 how i found your channel and then i rediscovered your channel when i started reading the manga and your chapter review

I’ve been following you since 2017 and I can say for sure that I miss the one piece 101s and their background music. Keep it up

Well I'm glad you get to do HxH 101. Those are great videos

This video was needed... and now I understand why you stop.... no regrets tho ... I didn't find your channel by chance... I was Pacifically looking for someone online to explain someone's devil fruit at the time cause I was confused and your channel was the only one ... your videos was like the tutor I needed loll.... four and half year later and I'm still here enjoying your content as a wise and older one piece fan loll.... 🤗

I miss the 101s so much! It’s why I subscribed but I respect why you don’t do them.

Def found you after I fell down the Tekking video hole. GLR was in my recommendations. And even though you're topics were very similar, your styles are completely opposite so I'd get another view on a theory or review. Keep it up and evolving!

I really like the small memes in your corner.

The funny part is I saw nothing wrong with the clip of old GLR LoL. I like the dramatic explanation a ton for some reason. The music, serious tone, or something idk LoL. You have a good narration voice. Maybe what I want is to hear you tell more serious stories with dramatic music, low-key that might be it.

I discovered GLR cuz of the 101 videos but I definitely do enjoy Liam's evolution more. Its been a pleasure to have been watching him grow his platform since I started watching his channel. It, like I'm sure for many, allowed me to catch up to the series and gave me a better understanding of these characters but once he started showing more passion and enthusiasm, it really got me hooked, ready for the next video that would come out. Shoot, even GL-Waifu with her takes of the HXH series was awesome.

i've been watching since you're first video yonko 101 my favorite series was the devil fruit encyclopedia i love your personality and new videos

Liam, thanks for the explaination. I started watching your Channel because of those Videos and now I understand why you stopped. Thank you. That Tashigi 101 video is not what I want anymore.

Love the video and keep up the great work

Not to counter what you said, and i subbed to you around 1 or 2 years ago but I would actually not mind watching that last bit that you showed, the music gave kind of an emotional sadness to the scene and I haven't seen those parts of op yet too but I digress.

101 videos were one of best and first i watched so i thank those and you

I still remember when you started the stand encyclopedia for JoJos - right around the time I had started binging all of JoJos, and then I didn't see them anymore and remember wondering what happened to that series, so this is very enlightening. I'm glad you have evolved with the platform, and look forward to your videos when they drop.

@@technodragon990 yes! I actually was subscribed to nwr before glr because of hxh, the issue was not that I couldn't find them, it was that he stopped making them, likely for the same reason he stopped making op related encyclopedias videos. That and the algorithm changed around 2017 to prefer longer video formats.

These are the videos I started watching on your channel.

Honestly, I actually liked that clip you shared. May be the microphone needs to be a bit better, but the narration and music was heart touching.

Your 101 series did get me into your videos for sure if I am being honest and I've been a fan of your work ever since. I find your videos a great way to enjoy one piece and keep up with my friends who read it and stay on topic with them as I often have little time to read the manga between work, studying and family life. And yes I do read the chapters as well and buy the manga as i believe everyone, including you, tells me that it is not a substitute for the real thing. You should consider re-releasing your videos from before as a sort of historic archive of past works. Or maybe even a series of videos just talking about the old days, what you thought and how you have grown from where you where to where you are now in terms of making videos or even how far characters have gotten in one piece. Honestly I'd even be game for a sort of video explaining old theories and why we thought this or that and what happened after theories were proven right or wrong. Either way whatever you do I look forward to see you there

I watch every one of your GLR and DIR videos since I have free time to do nothing but listen to stuff at work.

keep it up bro love the content

You know its a good day when i have a dude in a room, grandline, and new world review video to catch up on.
