Unlikely. Gurren Lagann made me go "FUCK YEAH" from start to finish, but I have yet to go beyond Episode 1 of Kill la Kill. I find that show to be a bit weird and trying too hard, though I'm not sure what exactly they're trying.

I watched it once and enjoyed it. I've tried to go back and can't seem to get beyond episode 1, so maybe I had a temporary attack of the shittastes.

It's a parody of Sailor Moon type shoujo as well as generic shounen. Gurren Lagann with tits is a fair description. It had serious animation budget problems, which meant that the animation quality fluctuated between very good to childishly awful.

Like, why does a grown man give a shit about Spongebob or Teen Titans GO?

In the case of Teen Titans Go, I'm guessing most of them are Millennials who grew up with the original Teen Titans show from the mid 2000's and are disappointed that CN decided to revive the series as a comedy. It's kinda ironic, considering the people who actually read the New Teen Titans comics from the 80's and 90's were disappointed at how they made the show a wannabe-animu and changed the personalities of the characters.

I've sometimes thought about doing anime reviews. Because NO ONE (that I've found) on YouTube is any good. They're either too young to be an expert on anything, or there are guys like Bennett the Hutt that are old and only focus on the crap they watched in the '80s and '90s. (Also he does that outdated TGWTG "I'm shocked/angry at everything! Everything is stupid!" style of reviewing.)

I remember Kenny Lauderdale and Grumpy Jii-san being decent. Both channels are dead, for different reasons.

Gurren Lagaan is a poor man's Getter Robo.

Off topic, but kinda on since it's rock bottom, WE CAN GO DEEPER.

Whenever I see a video of him popping up in my recommendations, I click that shit. The guy is clearly taking the piss. Once you realize that he's got the driest humor ever he's hilarious. My favourite is him reviewing water.

Not even he can keep a straight face doing that shit.

Seriously, if you stumble upon a video of his, click it. It's basically goofy improv comedy that's dry as hell. You may get him talking about being gang stalked at some chicken wing place, suggesting Burger King to create the Mayonator which would be a burger with patty-sized onion rings instead of beef, all filled to the brim with mayo, or just plain pronouncing the word "sauce" wrong intentionally, each time more and more noticeable.
Reviewbrah is a fucking rebel. Became on of the biggest "fast food review" channels making fun of the whole genre.

Grumpy Jii-san was pretty comfy, but I'm surprised an elderly person would take an interest in anime. I'm assuming he was a serviceman who got stationed in Japan at some point.

It's not that suprising, anime is an old medium and it's not like it wasn't being exported across the globe long before Toonami hit the airwaves.
My grandfather was into anime, dooming me to a life of perpetual autism from the get-go.

There are only a few old timers like Jerry Beck that know what they're talking about with regards to anime. None of these guys are on YouTube, they just write articles for websites.
At ANN, Zac and JesuOtaku are completely useless. The other fag Justin Sevakis knows a bit about the business side of things, but nothing beyond that. There are a couple of writers there that actually know what they're talking about. One is Daryl Surat and the other is Mike Toole. Toole and Bennett the Sage hate each other, and Bennett blocked him on Twitter.
