PewDiePie’s love for 'Ergo Proxy'
The YouTuber discussed his preferences back in 2016, according to Oneesports.gg. 'Ergo Proxy', a cyberpunk show, introduced him to anime, and later 'Berserk', a dark fantasy series about a battle-hardened samurai named Guts, won him over.
'Ergo Proxy' uses a blend of 2D digital cel animation, 3D computer modeling, and digital special effects. It is greatly influenced by philosophy and Gnosticism.
Following its debut in Japan, Geneon Entertainment obtained the rights to the anime, which was then released on DVD and shown on Fuse in the US.
Additionally, the anime markets in Australia, the UK, and Canada received distribution of the show. Since its premiere, 'Ergo Proxy' has gotten largely positive reviews with widespread praise for its concept and graphics.
'Parasyte the Maxim'
Pokimane, a Twitch celebrity, enjoys gory body horror. The member of Offline TV named 'Parasyte the Maxim' as her all-time favorite show, complimenting its "creepy" extraterrestrial idea and its underlying moral message.
The Japanese television series ran from October 2014 until March 2015. Between October 2015 and April 2016, the English-language dub aired on Adult Swim's Toonami programming block in the US.
The manga was one of the most popular manga series ever as of August 2022, with over 25 million copies in circulation, according to Anime News Network. The 17th Kodansha Manga Award went to 'Parasyte' in 1993 for the general category, while in 1996 it won the 27th Seiun Award for the best manga.
