Very honored you reacted to my video! Thanks for the kind words! You might not remember it but on June 27th 2021 I commented on your video, asking for critic of my channel ( I had around 800 subs at the time and didn’t expect you to oblige) and unbelievably you replied saying that my channel was a little all over the place and more advice. I was a little embarrassed, because you was right. But that was the day I privated All my unrelated videos to the niche I wanted to be in and spent the next 6 months researching youtubism and making better content I would be proud of people to see! Thanks to your proverbial kick in the butt! I kept following your lessons when you made Dude in a room and my subscribers have quadrupled. So any one reading this who Doubts his advice.

Hey Liam I'm assuming you'll never read this comment but don't sell yourself short by calling yourself a disappointment. Your passion for Nen and Pirates has helped me and others get through some hard times. I don't have a lot of family so having a consistent youtuber who is kind has always been great. Not a disappointment in the slightest.

Long time follower here , been subbed to GLR since the 8-15k subscriber mark. Been so long now... The analytic approach of the channel at first is something I did enjoy but it did get stale and when you started adding humor to the you videos is when I felt the channel getting it identity it has now. I do hope that when OP is over you will do a new Op101 series, you always managed to get the essentials of each character without getting to heavy into spoilers, leaving readers more to discover.

the sheer amount of times he showed Liam's least favorite clip of himself almost felt personal lmao

I am definitely the person that held off watching One Piece until the pandemic hit. And used that free time to start binge watching it and got hooked. But a big part of that was stumbling across your One Piece 101 videos as I was watching. Your content added to my enjoyment and understanding of the series 🙏🏽🙏🏽

High five from Melbourne Liam! Keep that quality content coming my guy. Been following your channels ever since COVID days and not a day goes by that I'm not excited to see one of your videos pop up. Keep up the good hustle 💪

Every KZreadr needs a controversial moment. So Liam is just genuinely happy that he's being documented.

I'm an American, I've lived in New York NY entire life, describing One Piece as a goofy pirate comic seems like a perfect description to me, it's literally what drew me to it way back in the year 2000, I thought it was basically going to be an even more goofy, pirates tinged version of Lupin III

Been with GLR since he had under 10k subs and Liam was doing comment reviews every 1k new subs and this documentary is awesome to watch. Still recommend Sagas in minutes to anyone wanting to start OP

I remember finding you in 2016, fall of that year I was recovering from a broken femur, lost my job, apartment, car, girlfriend and kid, basically everything I worked for and I was super depressed. It helped me rediscover my love for one piece and I was entertained enough that I went back to it since I stopped watching the series after the saboady archipelago arc and caught all the way back up to the start of whole cake. I don't care about spoilers so I watched the manga reviews and got excited for what's to come all because of you Liam. Much love and support, I'm happy you did what you loved and shared it with the world, also the dogflamingo shirt is awesome

As an American, I can say I think that I interpret the word "goofy" the same way you do Liam.

I only started watching grand line review a few months ago, so I don't know what the "old" version was like, but I personally love all of the videos. I think you are so funny and do such a good job explaining things and bringing up new ideas, and I get excited every time I see one of your "clickbait thumbnails" in my recommended, and I think they are hilarious.

I follow your videos on KZread for the last months and I really appreciate your work here! I'm Brazilian and I enjoy to compare videos made here analyzing One Piece and Hunter x Hunter theories, analysis with your own videos. Actually, I'd like to thank you for, as so as some Brazilian KZreadrs (like Chapéus de Palha "Straw Hats", Canal MangaQ and Bruno Bandeira) you're keeping Hunter x Hunter fanbase alive with periodical new content. Hunter x Hunter is my favorite series, so thank you! Keep going on your hard work and good jokes on your videos.

I really like this guy's OP KZreadr videos, man really does his research and it genuinely feels like it comes from a good place: he talks about people he learned from and respects for that reason, even when he still has some criticisms, which seems really fair to me. It reminds me a bit of your own videos on other OP KZreadrs, but whereas you focus more on some specific aspects of the channel and why/how it works, he tries to give a more general view on the channel and its history, with a focus on the person behind the channel, which makes his videos also very distinct from yours and pretty unique. I just think that's a very cool concept and approach.

I have a different out look on analysis than Liam because I don’t have a résumé of building multiple successful channels like he does. But I do have an obsessive nature and have been addicted to KZread since I was a kid. Iv very interested and obsessed with the journey of KZreadrs which is why a big focus on my channel is the history aspect. That way new fans can see what it took for their fav KZreadrs to get to where they are and also my advice to them of how they could stick around for a long time because I want everyone to succeed and “falling off” can happen to the biggest creators. I think being a KZreadr is the closest thing to be a pirate as you are free to create anything you want! and if you’re are lucky, one day you can make a career doing it! 🏴‍☠️ - Pirate Detective

Not to say that your YT channel is doomed to only speak about other people for the rest of its existence, but the moves you’re making right now seem good and smart to me (not that i know anything about anything lol, but I’m guessing telling creators why you appreciate their work and what you think they did good can be good too, maybe).

Dude, found you when I started my one piece journey back in 2017. Dressrosa was my introduction. Hooked ever since. The real info you provided helped me follow and comprehend. Giving me the desire to head back to the start

I caught up to the anime in July or August 2022, and I started reading the manga in part because of GLR’s chapter break-downs and theory response videos. So thanks, Liam, for your work! You are my favorite One Piece tuber, followed closely by Joyboy’s theory-heavy chapter reviews and Tekking’a pure chaotic energy.

Half of the documentary is converting Liam's older dude in a room videos from 1st person to 3rd person narration

I've been watching GrandLineReview since like 2018-2019 before it had 10k subs or so (I think that was how much it had) and had no idea about all of this, hope Pirate Diaries grows a lot because this was a fantastic watch

I found your channel after seeing a gear 4 luffy statue and searching one piece on this site. I found Hunter X Hunter because of new world review and it's one of my brother and I favourite animes now. Thanks dude in a room, love all the content, and good luck in the future

I found your channel because i was looking for videos on Dracule Mihawk, one piece 101 had a Mihawk episode. The reason i stuck with you channel and became a consistent viewer was your audio quality and how well spoken, low energy and witty were. I dont always "watch" your videos, i sometimes just listen to the audio. Other youtubers didn't fit my taste because they would yell a lot and it just wasn't pleasant to listen to. Or they fell into the trap of rambling where i would just tune out and stop listening. Also, as far as humor, they're just not that witty or funny, they make low brow jokes that i come up with in two seconds in my head but aren't funny enough to justify saying out loud, then ten seconds later they say that same corny joke or pun. Your humor is genuinely funny and witty, the extremely dry delivery also amplifies how funny it is. They would make a bad pun in a goofy voice, linger on it and laugh. You just say your jokes you clearly took time to think about and write down, then just keep it moving as if whatever you said wasn't hilarious

“This has promise, I can feel it” *immediate rapid fire insults*

Ngl listening to your voice is very soothing and hearing you discuss One Piece has me engaged in your vids and entertained while I work. Keep up the great job and thank you for what you do!~ ❤❤❤

I don't have time for this right now, but I am definitely coming back later. 5 minutes in and it's difficult to pull away.

From an American, I also didn't think that some might have taken goofy as negative. We grew up on cartoons. Goofy, wacky characters filled our mornings.

I really hope you continue hard with this channel man. I love every single upload. Possibly even more than the one piece stuff and I'm a MASSIVE one piece fan. Keep it up man.

I was there pre-face-reveal, in fact I think I was there before you hit 10k, but I would definitely have stopped watching a loooong time ago if it weren't for the many changes you've made along the years. Your videos are (to me at least, but I'm always objectively right so hey) so much more engaging than they used to be. Not saying they were bad before, otherwise I wouldn't have watched them probably, but for one thing the OP YT scene was not the same as it is now, and mostly I truly feel like you managed to keep and improve what were the best parts of these early videos while adding even more engaging and entertaining stuff, resulting in your current videos being almost incomparably (incommensurably? I don't know, English) better than your older ones

I admitedly miss the old grand line review. I loved all the easy to digest and reference the information. It made me feel like Liam was the fun teacher in school who always made his lesson enjoyable but educational. Now that he has changed i still enjoy the channel. I only realy have 1 issue with the current state of GLR. He releases his chapter reviews with light spoilers in the thumbnail for the scans. In the past he always waited for the official release previously. As a result i had to unsubscribe as well as block notifications and suggestions for the channel. But after the the official release i always jump right onto youtubre to search him up. Itnmay not be exactly what i want anymore but keep up the good work Liam.

Am I the only one who clicked on this video thinking wtf has this man done that is “controversial” because when I read the title I was like ,are we talking about the same grandlinereview?

I went back to see when I subscribed to GLR and KZread tells me it was late summer 2018 which doesn’t feel right because I distinctly remember reading the chapter review of 'moist cigarette' in the WCI arc. Anyway, I was reading during the "old line review" days, and worried about your continued success when Toei struck your channel. I remember the struggle to get you to 100K subscribers and then GLR took off when that happened. While I miss aspects of the OLR days (DFE mainly), I still enjoy your content. So could you please make a DIAR video on why you started doing chapter reviews when the scans were released as opposed to waiting for the official Shonen Jump one (and where can I find these scans now)?

Love from New York, I can definitely say that "goofy" is a malicious/demeaning way to call someone silly, can be equated to "silly and lame"/"stupid and lame," as a ubiquitous colloquialism, especially in schools, urban and suburban areas across the States and ESPECIALLY in rap culture.
