You are absolutely correct. It's long, it's drawn-out, not terribly original. Only watch if you really enjoy looking at people's feet and the ground.

I get enough feet shots in Angel's Game, but at least there's payoff in that one.

1) Marble Hornets
2) EMH/Tribe Twelve (not really 100% bothered about either now, but they're still the best made ones out there)
3) Dark Harvest

Ok, I'm gonna put a bigger list now that I've seen the other series. Wall of text no jutsu!
Awesome-
Marble Hornets- Still going great, can't get enough.

Tribe Twelve- Only got good after the Grandpa Karl video, but it got
REALLY good. Genuinely creepy a lot of the time, too.

Everyman HYBRID- Very funny. The scare factor isn't quite as good as it could be, and it is really convoluted, But still good.

Dark Harvest- It really does deserve to be "The fourth classic". It almost surpasses EMH, but the effects could use a little work, and EMH is so damn funny that I have to put it below.

Good:
MLAndersen0- Showing signs of being really good and well written, and their Slendy is so different (The black gloves and red tie). However, hasn't gone far enough to make it into the "Awesome" tier.

Angel's game- A bit overdone with over 80 freaking videos, but still decent. Slendy wearing a hat is pretty cool, too.

MyDarkJournal- Creepy is the word here. It is pretty much just a game in the vein of the SEVENTRIALSOFHABIT, but the videos are so effectively CREEPY that it works.

Mediocre:
Outside Agents- Bland. Bland bland bland bland. Did I mention bland? So run-of-the-mill, trying way too hard. Not the worst, but so mediocre and uninteresting.

JonClubs113- It ith really boring, and the thcarineth ith just not there. Altho there wath thomething elth that I didn't like about it, but I can't think of it...

Bad:
Apple of Our Eye: Unlikeable characters, to the point that you wish Slendy would kill them.

2080twentyeightY: YOO AH TEERING ME APAHRT SLENAH MAN!!!


I haven't watched much DarkHarvest, but it was kinda boring from what I have seen. I see potential, but I have to catch up. xD;; -Spent all day catching up with Angel's Game AND LOVES IT TO DEATH-
I really think Angel's Game doesn't get enough cred. They update a lot, which is a pain to catch up with, but I like that as well. It annoys me, the whole update every few weeks/months thing that other series have, even if it's for build-up. If it's lack of time, that's totes okay (I feel bad for the MH crew, as Troy says he doesn't have too much time on his radio interview). But it's a nice change to get frequent updates, and the slow walking Slendy? Awesome as Hell, especially seeing as he actually unarmed and pwned Austin on camera. I also like the humor, but that might be because I'm cheesy and I appreciate it. -Failure- I also think it's awesome for High School students. ;w; -Could never pull it off as well as them, aha-
Maybe I feel so much respect for them because they're around my age, lmao. -Sorry for wall of text-

AND WHERE THE HECK IS THIS "U R TARING ME APAHT" GROUP? I want to watch it for the lulz. ;A; -Grabby hands-

It was on 2080twentyeightY's YT, but I think he deleted all of his videos. But my god, it was BAAADDDD. He IS the Tommy Wiseau of the Slendy world.

I really don't see the Dark Harvest appeal. The first few entries were really eh, and honestly, if it takes that long and I'm still not curious about it, I probably won't check it out.

ANNNNNYYYYWAAAAYYYYYYYSSSSSSS,

2.EMH
3.TT
4.MLAnderson0

Eh, it depends how we weight things. There's quality, and then there's how much you care what happens to the characters and how the story will play out. I tend to weight caring and interest more than overall quality.

With that in mind:

Great Tier

EMH. It keeps evoking verbal responses from me as I watch the videos, and I genuinely give a shit about most of the people in it.

MH. Weirdly stilted acting sometimes, but it's such sweet crack and I keep rooting for Alex in spite of myself.

Good Tier

MLAnderson0 is still too early to judge, but I am very eagerly awaiting the next update. Their Man isn't the best, but I'm willing to forgive that. I enjoy the acting and setup very much.

Meh Tier

TT. I'm sorry, they lost me in the beginning and never quite got me back. The main guy strikes me as a douchebag and that's hard for me to get past.


I haven't seen enough slendyvlogs to really fill out this list or add a shit tier. I'm still new at this. Laughing

Alright.

1. TribeTwelve. The story is very interesting, it balances the creepiness of the Observer & Slendy with Noah's humor.
2. MarbleHornets. I missed the initial surge of MH(I actually came in to Slenderman through EMH), but it's still well done. The series completely ignores the humor aspect most other vlogs try to add, and the result is a story that is human enough to understand, but arcane enough to make you dwell and fear it.
3. EverymanHYBRID. They had a good thing going, but it lost steam back around ". . . .", and I don't think it's picked it back up. The characters, at this point, are being so genre-stupid and ignorant to the ARG factor, it gets annoying. Props for adding other villains and hidden factors in a well-done way, though. Plus it is generally enjoyable to watch.
4. Angel's Game. I don't participate in the Facebook chats or anything, but I enjoy the whole "it's all a game" aspect, along with the fact Slendy does stuff besides chill behind random windows and trees. The protagonists are somewhat likable, too. The initial filler went on a bit too long though.
5. AndersonJournals. Not far enough to give a good opinion yet, but it shows a protagonist who is actually fairly genre savvy, and the fact that Slenderman isn't really the primary conflict.
6. Dark Harvest. After Log 14, I gave it a shot. I find all of their reactions canned. It's good, no doubt, but I cannot believe a character who starts a vlog covering all of the bizarre activity going on after a door closes behind him. Like, they take all the things that happen out of proportion.
7. OutsideAgents. They had a chance to be good. They missed it. I just don't care about the characters.

I'm up to date on MH and EMH so far, and I really can't say what I feel is better.

MH just feels...right. Like they really know what they're doing, and they know how to scare their viewers. I just really like the atmosphere they've created. And this is what separates MH from

EMH, because while I get a really depressing and lonely and hopeless vibe from MH, EMH is fun, funny, scary and all kinds of stuff all mixed up. I care more about the characters, and from the beginning I liked their acting better. It was hard to catch up on all this shitload of plotmaterial, but worth it.

I tried watching the beginning of TT, but for the first few submissions, it hasn't gotten me yet, so I've given up on it for now. I'll watch it some other time, as it seems to get better after that "Grandpa Karl" video.

My two cents.
