Trash Taste (2020-present) Main article: Trash TasteĪlong with fellow anime YouTubers CDawgVA and The Anime Man, they started a weekly podcast called Trash Taste where they discuss about anime, manga, and otaku culture. Gigguk was a co-host of this podcast alongside Jeanne and its creator, Holden. It ended not too long before PodTaku.Īnime no Yume has been claimed to be a successor of sorts to PodTaku, despite having been unofficially defunct only 2 episodes after its creation. J-Taku was a side podcast alongside PodTaku, where they could stay on topic and discuss more specific topics regarding anime and the anime industry. Gigguk was one of the four creators of the now-defunct podcast PodTaku, along with Arkada from Glass Reflection, Jeanne from Anime Appraisal, and Holden from HoldenReviews. The most common and most popular show on his channel were his Anime Zone Reviews, in which he takes an anime series or movie and gives it a rather comedic review, while still providing the necessary information and critique to actually call it a review.ĪZ Reactions to anime are done in two forms: either he'll take the first 1, 2, or 3 episodes of a series and give his first impressions, or he'll take a random episode of a series and explain his thoughts on it, always of series that are still ongoing. It contains his raw, biased opinions and is for the purpose of creating debates and/or discussions, so it shouldn't be taken too seriously.ĮvAbridged is an abridged series for the anime series Neon Genesis Evangelion created by Gigguk and voiced by numerous people in the anime community such as DevilKickSanji2 and Sydsnap. His most prominent AMV was an Evangelion (wiki), Rahxephon (wiki), and Paranoia Agent (wiki) AMV called Reflections of Despair.ĪZ Rants is a segment where he takes a less structured and humorous approach to look at any topic that crosses his mind regarding the subject of anime and manga. Gigguk has dabbled in making AMVs in the past. In 2021 Grant participated in a chess tournament alongside other YouTubers such as Rustage, CDawgVA and Kureiji Ollie and was crowned champion. He reached over 500k subscribers that year in December and hit one million subscribers on December 30th, 2017.Īfter his comeback, he moved away from his previous reviewing format over time and eventually stopped using the name "The Anime Zone". 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. Gigguk entered hiatus in 2014 after taking a job for the BBC, uploading three videos in 2014, and five videos in 2015. 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. He followed up its start two months later with the release of EvAbridged ( ), a highly satirical parody of Rebuild of Evangelion ( ), in which he voices the role of Fuyutsuki. He was joined by fellow reviewers Arkada, Holden, and Jeanne. He is open to reviewing any title from any genre, despite his aversion to high school and moe anime.Ģ012 marked the beginning of his tenure as a permanent panelist on the anime podcast PodTaku, until its folding on January 10th, 2016. His final grade is based on a 0 to 10 rating system, designating each title with a single integer. Since then, he has changed his style from leisurely enjoyment to more of a analytical and comedic approach. It started with a review of Bleach ( ) under his Thai nickname, Gigguk. Garnt began his reviewing career in 2007 as a way to procrastinate from revising for math exams. In October 2019, him and his current fiancée Sydney (known as Sydsnap on YouTube) moved to Tokyo, Japan together. He is also a former monk, according to his statements on the Trash Taste podcast. This led to his 2-year hiatus on YouTube. He studied electrical and electronics engineering at the University of Bristol, and in 2014, he started working at BBC as a technical project manager. Garnt was born in Brighton, England to Thai immigrants.
