Sengoku Jidai Starts November 8
Added 2014-10-22 00:00:13 +0000 UTCWhile the vote on the next-next mini-series (oy) wraps up tonight, I thought we'd all enjoy a look ahead to the upcoming topic: Sengoku Jidai! This series on the Warring States Era of Japan will begin on November 8.

Thanks ! I´m little by little learning to use Flash properly and I feel more confident after the seminal tragedy arc.

2014-11-05 15:24:37 +0000 UTCI was lucky enough to have Global Ed. teacher all the way can in 7th grade that actually loved what he taught. Talk about tangential learning. I've never study more for anything I knew I would never be tested on. These series's remind me of that passion every time. I personally guarantee you are making people want to learn. something oh so rear. I really hope this is getting to the class rooms...make a series on the history of physics and I can promise it will.

2014-10-27 23:51:12 +0000 UTCAfter reading about potentially 6 episodes, my first thought was that it would make us miss out on other areas of history simply by delay and the simply truth that all good things, eventually, will come to an end. What if we don't get our fix before then? I started to consider just a single point about this era, wondered for a moment and then thought, "nah, they won't cover that." which caused me to start thinking about other subjects and damned if I'm not wondering if 6 will be enough! My final thought went to my twisted humor where I decided, after fallowing EC and it's extensions for years, I'm just going to have to eat their brains to gain the tasty knowledge.

2014-10-27 23:09:14 +0000 UTCI am all in favor of 6 episodes. There is an infinite amount of history to get through, why not take the time to make sure that the topic you chose to focus on is covered well and thoroughly?

2014-10-25 02:29:21 +0000 UTCI think, in the case of Bismark, they already learned a lot of cool stuff about him in their research, but didn't have time to get into it during the series.

2014-10-23 03:58:55 +0000 UTCIf it covers enough why not?

2014-10-22 23:53:10 +0000 UTCCool I have very little experience with non-Western history.

2014-10-22 23:52:20 +0000 UTCWow! I don't know much about japanese history, but I am super excited to learn about it!

2014-10-22 14:11:05 +0000 UTCI suggested that you would talk about Otto von Bismarck a few days ago as you might remember I had an idea today that I would find quite interesting How about talking about a period of time with multiple episodes and then one episode about a person (possibly of the previous era to go more in depth) in alternating order. This way you don't have to let the people vote on everything (if you use a character of that certain time as it would fit in) and you can use research you've already done for your series of an age (again of the person is of the same time period) For your first world war thing you could have talked about Hindenburg for example and his achievements in the first world war. But you could also touch up a little about the Weimarer Republic and his role there. It was just a thought

2014-10-22 08:53:52 +0000 UTCAlso, you brought, with semi-animation, voiceover and music, more of an impact on my knowledge about history and emotion about it than most teachers and TV shows had on me as a kid. The Seminal...just...bring me the tissues! MORE if Jidai is worse in impact! And this is the reaction of a "grown ass man"!

2014-10-22 07:27:33 +0000 UTCHave you considered mentioning this series to George Takei? After seeing his "Takei's Take" on Japan (multiple parts about past, present and future), he might be not only a great way to bring eyes to E.H, but also to help with fact checking/etc. as you go!
Sam Timmins
2014-10-22 07:24:31 +0000 UTCYes! I was really hoping you'd cover Japan's history. Didn't think it'd be this soon. I'm super hyped.

2014-10-22 02:44:18 +0000 UTCAn extra long close look at the Warring States? This is going to be amazing. Hope it rockets you to the 10K mark.

2014-10-22 01:27:48 +0000 UTCThe next video will come out this Saturday. It won't be animated - instead, James will reflect on the World War I series, talk about some of the mistakes we made and tell a few more stories he didn't get to include in the script.

2014-10-22 01:27:27 +0000 UTCJames has actually been threatening 6 episodes for this one... we'll see!

2014-10-22 01:21:52 +0000 UTCThat is a huuuuge compliment! Thank you so much!

2014-10-22 01:17:04 +0000 UTCFantastic work :D This is a lot cleaner/less cluttered than the intro in the Seminal Tragedy.

2014-10-22 00:24:03 +0000 UTCMatches the Sonic Boom premier date, interestingly. Love the outfits, and looking forward to the episode. Also looking forward to Lies, as it is a chance to listen to James talk about History.

2014-10-22 00:20:39 +0000 UTCwhen's the next video coming out?

2014-10-22 00:17:47 +0000 UTCAh wonderful I always wanted to learn about Asian history a little We don't really do it in school and this will be a nice introduction Are they going to be 4 episodes as usual?

2014-10-22 00:10:41 +0000 UTCI CAN'T WAIT ! Sorry, but I can't be bothered to be excited by the new avenger, the new star wars, dragon age, the new blah blah blah… And I thought I was beginning to be just a blazé dude that could never be excited again by the coming of a piece of media. But here: there is childlike candor in my eyes when I read that, there is excitement, physical and juvenile excitement for a series about history… Do you realise guys that you can make a person, sitting in an office chair, on the other side of the globe shiver in excitement for HISTORY OF ALL THINGS?! I think that's a testament to how good of a job you're doing. Thank you so much.
