Garnt Maneetapho, a.k.a. Gigguk, born May 31, 1990, is a British-Thai, fast-talking, self-made anime reviewer who originated on YouTube and is the sole founder of The Anime Zone, co-founder of The PodTaku Podcast, and director of EvAbridged.Born in Brighton, England to Thai immigrants, he began his reviewing career in 2008 as a way to procrastinate from math homework. It all started with a review of Bleach under his Thai nickname, Gigguk. Since then, he has changed his style from leisurely enjoyment to a more analytical and comedic approach. His final grade is based on a 0 to 10 rating system, designating each title with a single integer. He is open to reviewing any title from any genre, despite his aversion to high school and moe anime.2012 marked the beginning of his tenure as a permanent panelist on The PodTaku Podcast until its folding in January 2016. He was joined by fellow reviewers Arkada, Holden, and Jeanne. He followed it up two months later with the release of EvAbridged, a highly satirical parody of Rebuild of Evangelion, in which he voices the role of Fuyutsuki. On September 25, 2013, he and the rest of PodTaku launched J-Taku, a separate podcast of singular topics devoted to anime, which was developed with the help of several other reviewers note Their names are ZeroMan101, Kenneth Bolido, 42believers, BakaShift, Fiction Reviews, Ninouh a.k.a. TheJimiJJ, SICnanigans, and CINWicked .Gigguk entered hiatus in 2014 after taking a job for the BBC, uploading three videos in 2014 and five videos in 2015.On May 5, 2016, Gigguk announced his official return to YouTube after a series of consistent uploads, with his intent to substantially grow the channel by the end of the year. He reached over 500k subscribers that year in December, and hit one million subscribers on December 30th in 2017. As of July 2020, he is one of the most subscribed Anitubers with 2.39 million subscribers.After his comeback, he moved away from his previous reviewing format over time, and eventually stopped using the name "The Anime Zone".2020 sees the debut of a collaborative podcast with The Anime Man and CDawgVA, Trash Taste. The series focuses on their mutual love of anime and manga, as well as their unique takes and observations on Japanese society.He can be found on Twitter, Tumblr, MyAnimeList and Kitsu. | |

The Gambling Addict: In his gacha video Gigguk states while he's been to real casinos, he didn't particularly enjoy the experience. To his confusion he greatly enjoys when he pulls the characters he wants from the gacha and fully admits to being addicted to gacha games at the end of the video. | |

Flash forward to "Summer 2020 Anime in a Nutshell" and now Klein, having had his dramatic entrance while Kirito's been out of commission, gets the last laugh. | |

When his strong dislike of the Little Sister Heroine and similar incest-fetish weirdness is well-known to the point of running gag, it really says something when he openly apologizes to Kaede from Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai for writing her off before seeing where the show was going with her character. | |

Jerk With A Heart Of Jerk: The "Tsundere" Your Waifu IS Real seems attracted but awkward to Gigguk, but when he points out she should be mean she shifts to calling him a pathetic nerd and hitting him. Her subsequent "It's not because I like you or anything" comes of as far more true than a typical tsundere. | |

Growing Up Sucks | |
| Gigguk (Web Video) / int_57efd4c4 | comment |
Growing Up Sucks: "You'll Grow Out Of Anime... Eventually" examines the mentality that anime has a Fleeting Demographic that will abandon it as they get older. Gigguk disagrees with the notion, saying that similar arguments have been made against Star Wars, Back to the Future, and the original seasons of Pokémon: The Series for kids born in the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s, respectively. And yet, all of the aforesaid series are still around. Ultimately, Gigguk concludes that "we're not growing out of it, we're growing up with it". While people may have less interest or time for their hobbies as they get older, the Nostalgia Filter of how anime made someone feel when they were younger will probably never go away. | |

In "Best of Anime 2021", when he shows a scene in EX-ARM where the screen spins and shrinks, it's accompanied by the caption "[THIS IS UNEDITED]" and the scene is shown again in Crunchyroll's viewer. | |

Tsundere | |
| Gigguk (Web Video) / int_7ef728b1 | comment |
Tsundere: One of his gag videos is a guide to tsunderes in anime... and real life. He then deconstructs and completely tears apart the character trope ruthlessly, from the perspective of a tsundere fan who awkwardly tries to defend them. He starts with the premise "tsunderes are not bitches, they're just misunderstood", yet describes them as lashing out for petty reasons, only to turn around and insist they are not so bad. He ends by slipping out "tsunderes are not misunderstood, they're bitches", and then goes back to defending them again. | |

Moe | |
| Gigguk (Web Video) / int_83444efe | comment |
Moeinvoked: Early in his Youtube career, he claimed he doesn't really get the appeal of watching a show with apparently nothing but cute girls doing cute things. Though he eventually made a video on how the phenomenon came to dominate anime in "The Moe Anime Revolution". While he still doesn't always like these types of shows based around moe, he'd eventually start somewhat appreciating it and there are some slice-of-life shows with strong moe elements that he liked, such as A Place Further than the Universe. | |

| Gigguk (Web Video) / int_8b9226d6 | comment |
Forgot Flanders Could Do That: During the episode on gacha games, he starts playing Fate/Grand Order and confides that after cracking so many jokes about the Fate Series being that one with all the porn, the gender-flipping and the ridiculous names, he kinda forgot people actually like the series for a reason, and quickly got engrossed into the story. | |

Out-of-Character Moment | |
| Gigguk (Web Video) / int_8ca20b69 | comment |
Out-of-Character Moment: Despite his constant aversion to slice-of-life, moe, high school anime, he highly praised The Disapperance of Haruhi Suzumiya for being so unlike its predecessors.invoked In spite of being known for making comedy videos, some of his more serious and analytical videos like "You'll Grow Out of Anime Eventually" and "The Perfect Anime" are surprisingly deep and philosophical. When his strong dislike of the Little Sister Heroine and similar incest-fetish weirdness is well-known to the point of running gag, it really says something when he openly apologizes to Kaede from Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai for writing her off before seeing where the show was going with her character. His genuine and non-joking review of Summer Wars, in which he stressed the utter importance of family. And his review of Your Name was really heartwarming with no comedy in it. | |

Hentai: Devoted an entire episode to it. Specifically, he cited the sheer amount of fanservice in anime these days making it hard to distinguish between anime and porn, how hentai (like anything else) can be done well under the right circumstances, and that every anime fan has seen at least some hentai, so it's nothing to be ashamed of. | |

Gigguk concludes by saying that hentai is ultimately a part of the anime medium, mentioning that established mangaka (like the creator of Food Wars!) started by creating hentai, and that it's not something to be ashamed of liking. | |

The story does absolutely nothing new or interesting, it's just all the tropes of "generic power fantasy" turned up to eleven. He even starts comparing it to Kitchen Nightmares, a series that he also considers nigh-Strictly Formula yet always entertaining because everything about it is so over-the-top. In the end, the series gets the prestigious title of "The Cooler Sword Art Online". | |
