Anime Seasons Topic

Next video and future releases for the next few weeks

First off, early access for a video going up next Thursday should be up later today. It's a discussion around anime seasons and what makes them dry or amazing. I always think about this topic as you can have a season full of sequels be claimed as trash because there's no new anime. Yet there are other people who see 3 great shows as being a packed season. It's a fun discussion opening the door for others to chime in and I really enjoyed making it. 

After this video for the next 2-3...

Kaguya S2 Early Access

Thumbnails for the week

Kaguya Video & Future Projects

Next week I have a video going over how season 2 of Kaguya-sama improved on the already perfect formula that season 1 presented. I'm finding these live-action discussion/analysis pieces are really letting me feel rejuvenated with bigger videos. While yes I can make them in a days time vs a week like the other style I always used, I think the blend of anime clips and live-action footage helps to keep it grounded and organic. I think the plan going forward towards the end of August is that I'll...

BNA Early Access

Textless Thumbnails

Snafu existed for less than 10 minutes before copyright scared me away from reviewing it, but here was the thumbnail. 

Yu-Gi-Oh Early Access

VIP New Rewards For Tier 3

Since early access is a hit or a miss and the fact I want to slow down on the big videos, this is a way I can give you a pretty cool reward ontop of early access when I can. Once a week I'll post my favourite thumbnails that I have made completely textless for tier 3. I hope you all enjoy these!

Summer Season Schedule

So with a new season of anime approaching I figured I'd share my plans on what anime I'll be covering this upcoming season. Obviously until I watch them I can't say for sure but these 9 shows I think I'll love covering on top of one bonus live action video per week. Like I've mentioned in previous posts my life is too busy for scripted videos sadly, but closer to the end of the season those babies will be back in full swing. As an example of what to expect, next week I want to make a video ta...

Random Update & No Idea What to Title This

So this past anime season has been pretty wild as has the world in general. Strangely enough, this past season I've been the happiest I've ever been thanks to life shaping up and me currently being in a position to live with the woman I love in a place just of our own and no roommates. Moving is kind of a bitch though as is living away from my equipment (45 minutes to be exact) hence lack of big videos. The episodics are all on corona, most anime got delayed and some like Listeners didn't pul...

Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken Early Access

Thoughts on 25k subs and the future of the channel

So 2020 is a weird year meaning a lot of anime are being delayed which makes it harder to make modern content. On top of that, I have a busy personal life now which is a great feeling. I'm getting into the habit of being more okay with taking an extra day or two for an episodic rather than forcing myself to release them shortly after they come out. Having days off for the first time in 3 years is an odd feeling. As you see with shows like Kakushigoto if I'm simply busy I'll just wait until I'...

Toilet-bound Hanako-kun Video

Took a week off but we're back with a video I've been pretty excited to share, that being  Toilet-bound Hanako-kun! Shows like these I always love going into with depth without being too spoiler heavy. I try to design them to be good for newcomers to think "hey I should watch this" while also giving something for those who've already seen it moments to think "I didn't know how to say it but exactly". I think in terms of this style of analysis/review it's one of my favorites in the past 6...

Re:Zero Analysis

This week's video is one I put a lot of time into, twice the amount as usual and I think people will really dig it. I wanted to do a video for Re:Zero before season 2 so I figured I'd tackle in a way that isn't seen as much while bringing up one of the most misunderstood scenes, Rem's confession. The video breaks down how Re:Zero uses suffering intelligently while not abusing us or the characters with that pain and becoming edgy. The reason I touch upon Rem's confession as well is not only do...

Re:Zero Analysis Early Access

Season Roundup Winter 2020 Early Access

Season Roundup & Awards Podcast

I worked extra hard this month so you're getting both the awards podcast and season roundup between this coming Sunday and Monday. Reason is I wanted to get a Re Zero analysis out before it started up for season 2, but then it got postponed but I still wanted to finish it for the following week so you're welcome. Podcast is self explanatory, Jc and myself go over a newly constructed list that is a lot more organized and will be the template going forward for awards episodes. And season roundu...

Oregairu Early Access

This is a good one

Oregairu Video

I'm really excited about this week's release which is an analysis designed nearly identical to my Beastars video on Oregairu (My Teen RomCom Snafu). Videos like the Beastars one are made different than my other projects. All non-live action content is scripted besides the podcast obviously. But similar to how I can talk naturally in episode reviews without a script and on the fly, it means scripting has a similar flow. It's very easy for me to script as I don't try to be the best of all time ...

Fate Grand Order Early Access

Fate/Grand Order Babylonia

This week's video is a look into Fate/Grand Order Babylonia and how it changes the formula of Fate and turns it on its head. I've been foaming at the mouth week after week for months now, but the way this series brings out the best of what we know about Fate combined with fresh ideas really made it hard not to hype it up. The video is pretty much spoiler free, I avoided showing any of the end game but due to all the action being a blast I still had plenty to showcase without ruining it for ne...
