I've been watching Saberspark ever since I stumbled across his channel back in 2017, and I really enjoy his cartoon reviews. A lot of them are really entertaining, especially when he reviews some really bad animated films like Trolland or Joshua And The Promised Land. I also like how he analyses the stuff he reviews in 5 parts (Story, Voice Acting, Dialogue, Editing and Animation), and I also really like when he talks about how he could improve on the thing he's reviewing. Overall, he's a great cartoon reviewer and you should go give him a sub. ;)
I love Saberspark's channel. It may be "clickbait-ly" and a bit pandering, but it's very funny and a overall great experience and just what I need after a long day of school.
With his wit and informative yet still entertaining format, SaberSpark introduces obscure cartoons and shows many of us never even heard of regardless if they were good or bad. Most of them are bad and as a consequence have become memes on YouTube and elsewhere such as Google.
Probably the best known episodes of his are his review of Joshua and the Promised Land, Gaithers Pond, What's Up? Balloon to the Rescue, and Stravinsky and the Mysterious House. All of these I consider some of his best reviews. SaberSpark's is funny in how he analyzes these movies and shows. He'll explain what the premise is about, review a few clips, then go over his five points about the movie/show. Recently he's suggested improvements to them which's good. Many critics don't do that. At least the ones I've seen and if they do it's often in a condescending way.
I also like how SaberSpark's reviews are mostly straight to the point. A barb here, history lesson there but no long skit to further the point(not that they're always bad either). The focus' primarily on the movie and its origins. If you like so bad it's good, than you'll like this as well as the good material he reviews. I often like his viewpoints and format and I highly recommend him to others.

Saberspark is yet another critic who mostly looks at cartoons. It seems as though he doesn't really top 10 ten lists like PhantomStrider or that many flat-out reviews like MrEnter. Saberspark is great because he gives off the appearance of a nice guy. The best part is probably how analytical he gets. Some of his best videos are talking about the history of animation and what their low points and high points are. Yes, I have seen a video where he shows himself in real life.
It might help that he's also a brony. Anyway, he doesn't really swear like most online critics. It doesn't seem like he's playing a character or anything like most people on Channel Awesome. Scratch that. Most people who WERE on Channel Awesome. I think my favorite video of his is probably his analysis on the downfall of "Family Guy". He's a good role model for critics.
Animation and films are my two biggest passions. Well, that and Internet reviews in themselves. I don't understand why people would accuse him of using clickbait. Doug Walker got rid of drawn title cards simply because he wanted to be marketed better! Saberspark even makes fun of himself with the joke that he's a closet furry. All in all, a great analytical series written by a nice guy. ****

Presents nothing new in terms of content. They do what everyone else who reviews content is doing. They even go as far as to click bait in order to get views. Not only that, but they impose their opinions of others on their fans. Overall, disappointing.
