Yeah, that's exactly who I mean.

I don't rely on either one of them for what I should watch because they both have wildly different taste than I do. But I do skim through their content to find any thing I might have overlooked after the 3-5 episode mark.

- Gigguk is heavy on the "mainstream" anime and a decent filter on isekai. Plenty of people just want shonen/seinen, so he's good for that for people who like to stay in that realm. He occasionally stumbles on rare gems of a series. His manga recommendations are very good and run the full spectrum.

- Mother's Basement has what I'd generously call "faux-indie" taste in anime. An overemphasis on the series that are avant-garde (and overrated) or corny-fluffy shallow romance series. His relentless shilling for Kaguya-sama and Re;Zero gets annoying, but he's clued me in on enough series that I otherwise would have skipped but ultimately really enjoyed.

- As for AniDB, anything over a 6.5 average rating is one of the Top 7 series in a season. They're communally quite harsh.
