Cool History Bros

         Are you into history? More specifically, Asian history. Don't know any language other than English like the stereotypical American you might be? Well, I have good news. I did come across a channel that makes quality animations for your educational purposes.

         Meet Cool History Bros on YouTube. The channel has only been around for two years. It's one of the only channels that focus on a more global audience by using English.

         I have watched the videos on the Three Kingdoms and Sengoku period. After all, they are two of the most romanticized periods of Asian history. As you can see, they are hefty at around 90 minutes each. If you are into documentaries, they are good watches. Even if you aren't interested in the visuals, they aren't bad for listening. Aside from history, the channel also dives into tropes that you may have seen in pop culture, but have no clue how they came to be.

         What truly impresses me is how the channel tackles the more confusing parts of history. A great example is the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period (五代十國). Trying to keep the warlords and the names straight at times is a challenge, even for native speakers.

         If you are looking for edutainment, it's a great channel to enrich yourself. Cool History Bros also suggests other content creators who are native speakers of the topics should you feel ready to do a deep dive. It's a channel worth watching.
