2023-01-12 02:06:15 +0000 UTCThe latest thumbnail looks good. I think it's important, for clickbait purposes, to create a thumbnail that has a "bigger" reaction than the episode possibly was. So for those more mild episodes where not super crazy stuff is going on, you want to make up for that in the thumbnail to help keep views consistent. Artistically, the composition of the latest one is good. I really like the layout/comp of the thumbnail for episode 6/7. Yall did good on that one!

2023-01-11 19:44:12 +0000 UTCIf you ask me the thumbnail for episode 1 is great because the image from the show you chose is such an iconic shot for SnK/AoT. I wasn't browsing for this content at the time but it really just yanked my eye to it and I had to go see what this was all about. Why is it so good though? I think it's more than the fact it's that iconic shot. My second favourite, the thumbnail for episode 11, has a couple of things in common with episode one: They're both wide-angle shots in which the scene is easily recognisable and dramatic, and they both have great, high contrast. Thinking of it now they both have a similar, reddish colour scheme which adds to the feeling of the scene. The second thing to consider is your and your friends' reactions (or are you all administering this Patreon?) in these thumbnails, you can just see that the madness of SnK has taken hold, which is exactly the type of reaction people who already know the show will want, while people unfamiliar with the show might wonder why anime haters would be this engaged by squiggly figures screaming and flying about. But I'm guessing most of your viewers already love SnK.

2023-01-11 17:33:20 +0000 UTCAll of your thumbnails are great. Personal favorite is ep. 1 because that’s the way I found you guys, and the most recent upload. If you guys wanted to emphasize the non returning watchers, make those 2 bigger and everyone else fill in around.
