MALE SPEAKER: YouTube Crush.
STEPHEN: My YouTube crush is PBS Idea Channel.
PBS Idea Channel is a weekly show hosted by Mike Rugnetta,
and he's just a super smart guy.
He talks about just all sorts of really cool things.
For those who are interested in checking out PBS Idea Channel,
I'd recommend a recent episode about "Avatar:
The Last Airbender, whether or not it's anime.
MIKE RUGNETTA: In a visual comparison,
there is a difference between the Avatars and these things,
though sometimes not a significant one.
A point made very heavily by Chris O'Brien
over at the Escapist a couple years ago.
Link in the doobly-doo.
But strictly speaking, it's not the subject, tone, or style
that makes or breaks anime-itude in the West.
It's that the Avatars aren't made in Japan.
STEPHEN: PBS Idea Channel, will you be my valentine?
