Glass Reflection

Tristan "Arkada" Gallant, also known as Glass Reflection, is a Canadian YouTuber who specifically reviews anime series. Arkada is well known for saying The Ending is Paramount, meaning in most cases, if the ending of a show isn't good his enjoyment of the show overall will be completely ruined; he has recieved both a lot of criticism as well as a lot of support for this claim.

History
Through his two series 'First Impressions' which is for an ongoing series or for a completed series that he can't get to the end of due excessive 'body modification gore' (specifically for Parasyte -the maxim-) or a anime that still is being broadcast. Glass Reflection, for which the channel is named, that is posted every other Saturday with the most recent episode being on the GAINAX studios series, Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt. He also occasionally does vlogs if people request him to do so or if he just feels like it and on an even rarer occasion he may even play a game on the channel like Pokemon, but that sort of stuff is more likely to happen on his second channel, Arkada Gaming. Tristan makes a living off of making anime reviews on YouTube.

First Reaction
First Reaction is a show on Glass Reflection where Arkada takes either an on-going show or a show he can't complete for his own reasons and then watches the first three episodes of that series (but that can vary for some episodes) and then judges the series so far and whether you should try and watch the entire series. There have been 10 episodes so far covering series such as Parasyte: The Maxim, Sailor Moon Crystal, Death Parade and most recently Food Wars! (summed up by Tristan as Food Porn in the beginning of the video).

Rating Scale
In the beginning of his reviewing career back in 2009, Arkada refused to give anime a number score. His reason was because he felt that too many people cared too much about numbers rather than the information presented in the reviews. He did, after awhile, resign and start giving them a score from 1-10, but later on he quit doing it again. The following rating scale is what he's used from the very beginning, and still uses to this day.
 * 1) Certified Frosty - The best rating Arkada can give an anime, which he gives only to the best of the best, or those shows too important to ignore.  He'll typically recommend to watch it no matter how you have to, by any means.
 * 2) Buy It - A really great anime that he feels deserves to be bought, but isn't quite good enough go out of your way to watch.
 * 3) Stream It - A good anime, but not worth buying in his opinion.
 * 4) Fuck It - The worst rating, given only to the worst shows he's enver seen. School Days tier garbage.
