Retake is the YouTube channel of French comedian and voice performer Victor Niverd — identifiable from his personal Instagram handle — who built a substantial following around the 'RE:TAKE' format: condensed, comedic recaps that compress full seasons of popular anime into roughly fifteen-to-twenty-minute episodes. Operating out of France, Niverd layers sharp comedy writing over voice dubbing ('doublage'), giving the recaps a performed, theatrical quality that distinguishes the channel from straightforward plot-summary content. Series such as Demon Slayer, Attack on Titan, Oshi no Ko, and Solo Leveling have all received the RE:TAKE treatment, tying the channel's release schedule naturally to the seasonal anime calendar and keeping it relevant with each major simulcast drop.
Despite producing content rooted in French-language performance, Retake draws a disproportionately large share of its audience from English-speaking markets — a dynamic that points either to bilingual production choices or to the cross-border pull of anime fandom itself. The audience profile is predominantly male and concentrated in the eighteen-to-thirty-four age band, a demographic well-suited to the gaming and anime advertising ecosystem. Sponsor placements from NordVPN, ExpressVPN, and energy-oriented brand Holy reflect that alignment, while Holzkern and MyHeritage signal some lifestyle-category reach beyond the core gamer audience. With engagement rates running well above category benchmarks and a repeatable content format anchored to one of streaming's fastest-growing genres, the channel carries solid momentum as global anime consumption continues to expand.
Retake reaches an audience concentrated in France primarily through YouTube, and is best activated via long-form YouTube integrations, Instagram Reels and Stories. As a comedy creator they map naturally to brands targeting that space. Demonstrated partners include NordVPN and Holzkern. Engagement on YouTube runs around 6.9%, pointing to an audience suited to category-relevant, mid-funnel brand campaigns rather than pure-reach buys.

Retake's real name is Victor Niverd. He links to his personal Instagram account under the handle @victor.niverd in his public profile, making his identity openly known. He operates under the Retake name professionally for his comedy and anime content on YouTube.
RE:TAKE is Retake's signature series where he compresses full anime seasons into roughly 15–20 minute comedic recap or parody videos. Titles like "Demon Slayer (Season 2) IN 19 MINUTES" and "Solo Leveling (Season 1&2) IN 15 MINUTES" show the consistent structure. The format has been his primary vehicle for building an audience of over one million subscribers on YouTube.
According to his Instagram bio, Retake's YouTube channel goes by the name Almyr - Re: Take. Almyr appears to be the alias or channel identity he uses on the platform, combined with the RE:TAKE series branding. His handle @retake is the shorthand most fans use when searching for him.
Yes — Retake's Instagram bio explicitly lists Doublage (French for voice dubbing and acting) as one of his core professional activities alongside comedy and YouTube. This signals he works as a voice actor beyond his own channel, not just performing characters in his RE:TAKE videos. His dubbing background appears to feed directly into the vocal performance style his RE:TAKE series is known for.
Retake's RE:TAKE series has covered major titles including Demon Slayer, Attack on Titan (Final Season), Oshi no Ko, Solo Leveling (Seasons 1 and 2), Chainsaw Man, and Freezing, among others. He focuses on mainstream and seasonally trending anime, making the channel a quick-recap destination for French-speaking fans. The consistent 15–20 minute format makes it easy to follow multiple series back-to-back.
Yes — alongside his anime RE:TAKE videos, Retake's content extends into gaming, with hashtags like #genshinimpactfr and #nikke pointing to coverage of Genshin Impact and NIKKE: Goddess of Victory. His audience skews heavily male and young, which maps closely to the fanbases of both those titles. Gaming content appears to complement rather than replace his core anime focus.
Retake has worked with a range of sponsors on YouTube including NordVPN, ExpressVPN, MyHeritage, Holzkern, and Holy. The lineup spans VPN services, a genealogy platform, a lifestyle watch brand, and an energy product — a typical mix for a Macro-tier creator with a young, engaged male audience. His engagement rate running well above the category average makes him an attractive partner for brands seeking active viewership rather than passive reach.
Holzkern is a European watch brand known for crafting timepieces from wood and natural materials, positioning itself in the lifestyle and sustainability space. They partnered with Retake for YouTube content in late 2025, likely drawn by his predominantly male audience concentrated in the 18–34 age range — a demographic that aligns well with lifestyle product marketing. It is a clear example of a non-endemic brand finding value in an anime and comedy creator's highly engaged fanbase.
Yes, Retake is based in France and creates content primarily in French, consistently tagging his posts with #fr and #francais. Despite being a French-language creator, his audience is notably international, with a large share of viewers coming from English-speaking countries. His channel still reflects a distinctly French comedic and anime-culture sensibility throughout.
Retake has surpassed one million subscribers on YouTube, placing him firmly in the Macro creator tier. His engagement rate runs well above the category median, which is unusual at that scale and points to an active, loyal fanbase rather than passive viewership. Across YouTube and Instagram combined, his total reach sits in the 1.3 million range.
