Channel Reviews!

To take some pressure off the other guys doing this, I'm going to be reviewing channels by telling you what is good, what is bad, and how you can improve. Take note that this is based on my knowledge on the subject, which while it is extensive, isn't completely extensive.

I do take double comments, so If you've improved something on your channel let me know so I can review that too.
If you could also give me a short review on how to improve that'd be great (optional).
 
I do like how you made an update separating the religious/political stuff to a separate channel. I think with such vast differences in that vs a let's play videos would help focus your audience a bit better. The lets play isn't too shabby. Nothing too over the top/outstanding but it's a solid let's play. Could use a bit more talking in it to maybe explain strategies or plans but that's my two cents. If you care to check out my channel, I'd super appreciate it!
 
I'd love a review! Every opinion matters; I've been collecting them to see what the general consensus is, haha.
Thanks for taking the time to do so, it's very kind of you.

I'll review your channel later this evening - I'm currently out at the moment and I don't have my headphones! D:
 
Rad, appreciate it dude.

Like someone else mentioned, I think it was a good call to separate channels like you did. Normally I think it's better to have a bigger following before splitting into multiple channels, but I think yours was an exception.
 
I would love a review if you have the time. I would review yours but im leaving for work right now o-o
You have a great channel. However from now on instead of having an annotation saying "Subscribe", at the end of your videos you should have a call to action, and ask your viewers to subscribe if they want more content like what you are doing. Your banner should also be filled out more. If possible move your icon to the left some more. Than have some phrases about what you do. Maybe "How-to's Let's Plays, and basic messing around" Obviously go with your gut. Eventually after you've played quite a bit of games, you should make a trailer to be the cream on the milkshake. Besides that, you're good mate. Though you might want to sort through some of your older videos and delete ones with quality issues.

I would love a review!
Okey dokey, I like your branding a lot. However "Films" in both your icon, intro, and banner needs to be bigger. I can barely see it. Make that bigger. Also find some way to fill out your banner. I do like your end card too. Also your channel trailer should say "New videos very other monday" or something of the sort as you don't upload every Monday. I do like the fact that you have a trailer though.
Biggest and most important thing for you, keep uploading stuff consistently. Your videos are great. I'd also put the intro that's in the trailer in your actual videos, however with just the camera shutter noises.

Thanks man!
Alright, I personally think your channel is awesome because of the idea behind it: Coffee Reviews. To improve however you need to make a new channel trailer with your new mic. You also need to make a better banner. To do that move the coffee down and spread them out. Then above that write in a nice bold (as in, not thin) font which captures the coffee drinkers mentality "Java Central". To make a better thumbnail, all you need to do is find your channel trailer, go to 0:14 and somehow capture that precise moment; as I think it'd work well as a thumbnail.
Hey i would really love a review!
I like the thumbnail, it's simple. However I'd personally experiment with making the wolf bigger ever so slightly. The more space you use the better (to a certain extent.) I would also experiment on switching either just the background to white or switching the wolf to white and making the background black. However, the banner is the worst thing on your channel. You should move the letters over to the right, and put whatever winds up as your thumbnail next to it with it scaled to fit (for height, not length.) Your audio is great most of your thumbnails are good, You have a watermark, which is good.
You need to have more links and more standardized stuff in the desc so Youtube puts your videos together.
Most important of all: keep uploading!

I'll look forward to it. Okay: your thumbnails are awesome. Audio is good. I like your icon. I like how you state your goals at the end of each video. Eventually however, you should get a sting. You should also consider end cards.
You need to improve your banner though. It doesn't tie in with your icon. If at all possible. Use the background of your photo as the background of your banner; or at least incorporate some of the colors you have in your icon into your banner. Then you are going to want to move the words "Dark Star Media" in your banner to the left. Then put "Useless but Useful" to the right of that. That'll fill out your banner. The sizes must be exactly the same as they are now. If you decide after that that it could be improved, go for it. What I said is merely how I think you could improve it.
If it's your thing you could also make a trailer, depending if you're good at editing and have a lot of time.
Really cool that you are doing this! I would love to recieve a review from you!
Thank you.
Your thumbnails, icon, and watermark are awesome. I also love the idea behind your banner. However you might want to consider stretching the character across the banner space. Emphasis on consider. I'd also change your username in the thumbnail from being wrapped to being 2d, and I would also spread it out a little. I'd also scale down all the characters in your banner a tiny bit, just so the words are clear. Make sure to scale them at the same rate.
Someday make a trailer. Keep uploading consistently.

I'll get the rest of you later. Another thing: If I didn't comment on it, I think it's good, if I called it good, I think it's good.
