2023-09-08 04:55:53 +0000 UTC@Goodwin TV Yeah, from what I heard, the Korean Christian community can be a little intense. Well meaning, yes, but oftentimes VERY intense. It’s interesting because despite only a quarter of the population being Christian, South Korea is the 2nd most common country of origin for missionaries. Edit: 1st is the US

2023-09-08 03:03:56 +0000 UTCFor me there’s quite a few series that I wish I can do a ‘redo’. My most notable one for me is back around 2008 and I had just finished watching Code Geass and a friend at the time said something like “oh you liked this mecha show well why not try this other cool show called Evangelion”. And so on a day when I was ill, felt high on medication, I decided to pass my time with this ‘cool mecha show’ I was told about. I got a very rude awakening just episodes in and unfortunately was soo ill while watching that it completely ruined my first experience of what I could at least tell was a masterpiece of a show! Ever since I’ve wanted to rewatch it properly but have just never got round to doing so 😄

2023-09-07 23:57:16 +0000 UTCSounds great. Light years better than "you will be hit by a truck" 😂 Now that I've talked about that in a video, I have to be very careful when I cross the street. Can't let them be right

2023-09-07 23:55:25 +0000 UTCThanks! I'm glad. I wouldn't say it's any reaction series as a whole, it's more certain moments. I can't remember exactly but I think some of those moments occured during the two Avatar series, and probably AoT as well.

2023-09-07 23:52:01 +0000 UTCTo respond to your comment about being a bit put off by some religious groups, there is a wonderful community I love in New Mexico called the Lama Foundation where anyone can visit and practice any religion in a very welcoming environment. I’ve learned Jewish, Hindu and even Native American practices in the times I’ve visited so if you’re ever in New Mexico and still want to learn it's a nice place to start. Very hippy tho.

2023-09-07 23:38:36 +0000 UTCThis is without question my favourite Q&A you’ve done! I really appreciate that you do these videos. I find it really compelling to watch someone allow a lil bit of time to let a series sink in. Of course I love first impressions (I mean that’s why I love reaction content) but it’s also nice to hear someone’s ‘final’ thoughts. And I can say that after experiencing this story since late 2019 and then moving to the monthly chapters ever since, it’s fundamentally a lifetime story. Something that has the capability to stick with you throughout the rest of your life. I’ve actually got another question that came to my mind while watching this. I found it incredibly fascinating that you talked about how very firm on your beliefs you were in earlier videos and how you said you dismissed other options/beliefs etc much quicker than you do now. Is their a reaction series that you wish you could redo with how you feel as a person today?

2023-09-07 22:43:58 +0000 UTCThis weekend I'm gonna post a form for suggestions and go off that for the poll
Alex G
2023-09-07 22:43:39 +0000 UTCRandom thing I would like to request if it’s alright. Can you put the One Piece Live Action on the poll. There are people who never watched One Piece, or even anime in general who love it and I think you might like it as well. It is absolutely phenomenal.

2023-09-07 22:38:54 +0000 UTCthats what i thought it would be. Excited to see if it changes for future seasons

2023-09-07 21:56:06 +0000 UTCI find it hilarious that Thorfinn spent his life learning to fight on the battlefield as a tiny child and getting strong from combat, tough training, and slave labor just to get his shit rocked by Ylva who has been just doing fishing and domestic work since Thorfinn left.
Chris Sharpe
2023-09-07 21:27:16 +0000 UTCI wonder if Snake in some way reflects the tragedy of what Thorfinn may have been without Askellad. Tragedy may be too strong a word, but I mean it in the sense of Thorfinn likely not being able to reach the peak ideal we see him in S2.

2023-09-07 19:56:17 +0000 UTCI respect your ability to get your thoughts out meaningfully and compactly. That's something I have been inspired to work on from watching your vids. I don't want to respond to things out of fear like Ketil, I want self-mastery. Thanks for all you vids, much love!
