aaaaand thats a rap! thanks y'all

Your Minna Agechau video touches on a lot of different topics so I'm interested to hear how you create a good flow in your videos without completely going astray or confusing the viewer?

And: what are your circumstances? You're literally making one video after another. How do you squeeze in the research time? I'm amazed.

Agatha

What has been your most "personal" video project so far? As in, the video that felt the most exciting to release?

Agatha

How difficult or at all was it to get the VHS’ used for the video.? You’ve mentioned a few times before having interest in some out there subgenres like in Vlad Love you mention/talk about “70’s vampire lesbian exploitation” movies which from my experience can be sometimes hard to track down similar things so I wondered if anime VHS was also something that can be tricky to find.

This is a bit embarrassing to ask but I am legitimately interested: have you watched any of the wild hentai shit that was part of the early wave of English dub/localizations—like Urotsukidoji and Armitage and so on? What were your thoughts?

When will you be dropping your next musical projects?

seems like you read a lot of usenet!! what were some major differences you noticed between the social media, or even just forums, of today? what seemed to be very much the same?

fav skramz band????

Was there any funny discussions online with the religious watch dogs on this Particular anime and how much cringe came off those discussions

Any Collab in the future? Maybe you have someone in mind that you want to work with!

I couldn't help but notice the headstocks in the corner of the television angle. I'm a bass player, and I'd love to hear what guitars/basses you have if it's not too much trouble. Thanks!

I bought volume 18 of the Minna Agechau manga in 1987 at Kinokuniya bookstore in Rockefeller Plaza. I couldn't read a word of Japanese but I often browsed their manga section 'cause I loved the artwork. I no longer have it but I've never forgotten Minna Agechau because in that volume there was a bizarre sex contest taking place in a stadium, with sexual athletes like a guy with a monster tongue and another guy who was covered in moving hairs. I think there was a third contestant but I can't remember their sexual "powers." You mentioned you skimmed the manga and I was wondering if that contest struck you as amazing and hilarious as it struck me all those years ago.

Do you speak Japanese?

I'm always surprised about these niche stories you uncover and how interesting they are. I was wondering how exactly do you find the topics you wanna research?

Cogzilla

What were some of the hardest primary sources to hunt down and were there any that you nearly gave up on finding before having a breakthrough?

Elias Rosner

At the end of your most recent video you briefly talked about some of the weirder anime apparel tie ins with limited editions. I was wondering if you had any intention of doing a video in the future about the glut of weird anime apparel/swag from the bubble of the 90s and early 2000's?

Doozy_Uzi

What would be in your dream re-release for I give my all? What kind of special features and swag would you want included in the collectors edition? (besides the panties obviously)

Adam Saunders

Why the screenshots of what looks like HyperTerminal from Windows 95 as a background in the video? ps the glimpse into early days of a specific anime subculture in the US is super neat

your videos are such a joy to watch. as someone not particularly involved in the anime community *I* found your take that the localization of Minna Agechau was a rush job that tried to spark controversy for itself to be convincing. I'm wondering if this opinion has garnered any backlash or if other people who were already knowledgeable on the topic are in agreement?

Where did you find/read 1+2=Paradise? I ask for purely scientific reasons.

BatFlashes

What's your process for developing a video idea like? Are there any particular methods your prefer during creation or do you envision each video as a more freeform project that comes together during editing?

this isn't a question so much as it's adding to the list of media released with panties as a bonus thing. in 2011, NISA held an art contest for the psp game, Prinny 2: Dawn of Operation Panties, Dood! where the winner would have their design printed on a pair of panties. i'm having trouble finding records of this but i DID find the contest page (https://nisamerica.com/games/prinny2/contest/panties.html) and i do still own a pair! though it looks like it was a super exclusive giveaway item and not something included with the official limited edition...? this is more wild than i remember. now you're cursed with this knowledge too.

Is this the most fun you've had with the research phase of one of these types of videos? The depths of this rabbit hole were definitely the craziest we've seen so far!

Mel Nguyen

How much does the language barrier hinder researching topics like this?

What's ur favorite part of vidmaking (or of this vid in particular)

stushi

How long did it take you to uncover all of this information/ which part of this did you find the trickiest to research?

OJ

by all means! cant guarantee ill watch it but you're welcome to shout it out

hazel

How do you find and watch all of these different anime?

Arpaigeio

What drew you to this subject/what compelled you to make a video about it, and how did you exactly stumble into this paper-cut-out panty rabbit hole? How did you first discover it?

Did you know that Harenchi Gakuen not only adapted into live-action movie series in Japan, but also it was the very first live-action movie to be based on manga series? (Judging by the trailer, which was very self-aware of its origin as a manga, it resembles something like Porky's). Speaking of which, can I make a movie recommendation here?
