Mid-video update + Q&A: I think 2025 is a scam Edition

Hi all, and welcome to the mid-video update for March! It's once again that time to give updates on life and channel thingies, talk about what's to come, and other things. Which, for the former... well, I wish I could say things have gotten better, but honest to God this month has been horrible and I cannot wait for it to be over. I think 2025 is some grand prank being played on us all. Can we undo 2025? Just like, try it again? I dunno man, I'm just so tired. At least my wisdom teeth are gone. I learned how to make cinnamon rolls. I ate a churro today. Woo.

On the channel side of things, it's been good, at least! Y'all have absolutely devoured the Ai Mai Misuto video and the feedback from it has been seriously heartwarming. I wasn't expecting this one to go off as well as it did given the last few queer-centric videos I've done have struggled a lot (SeaBed still has less than 20k views...), but it's beat even Saya no Uta in first week performance. Thank you all so much!

And now, as always, the video schedule:

March: Bishoujo Mangekyou 3. This is the game in the series I've gotten the most requests to cover, and having played it now, I can see why. Biman3 is an amazing tribute to classic science fiction, and particularly sci-fi which deals with questions of what constitutes being a human; taking a fairly acute angle by setting itself in a post-apocalypse after a human-robot war, and looking at what it takes to rebuild from there. It also has extremely hot smut and godly art. Script is in writing now.

April: Tsui no Sora. Yes, finally, I'm doing it, we're talking about the thing that spawned SubaHibi. Having played TNS2020, SubaHibi, and most of SakuUta, I am... uh, curious and cautious about what exactly is in TnS and if it's as bad as everyone (including SCA-Ji) says it is. I'm also going to be trying to make a separate video for April Fools' that's just me talking about weird goofy shit I missed in past vids, including a pre-emptive bit about the TnS OVA. Leaving no stone unturned baybeeeeeEEEEEEE

May: Uncertain! The goal is something short for this month since I plan to attend Anime North, so I want to have a sub-1hr video for this month and June in order to be able to actually... uh, vacation, and not worry while I'm in Toronto.

THE LIST: As always, I'm fielding suggestions! I apologize that I've kinda been veering off it for a while now, it's just that my life has also been veering off the rails so the motivation hasn't struck me to cover very long titles or very dark ones or what-have-you. Never the less, I love to hear what y'all want me to cover, so please do let me know! https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1WF_2ADCa5UY63yygiElEyGr35UPCf-jfGivuHAeaiqs/edit?gid=0#gid=0

Aaand that's all for this time. As always feel free to leave me comments for the Q&A segment of the next video, and I'll try to answer them once enough pile up!

See you all soon, and god speed. o/

To preface: I Love your writing and you do great work as always. However I have a question: do you ever see yourself covering a reverse harem title or even one with a male/male/female dynamic? I notice that a lot of these titles have one guy to two or more women. Just a bit curious about that is all. Glad you got your wisdom tooth out! Those are a total and constant pain in the behind.

Have you ever heard of Virgin Roster? It is extremely, EXTREMELY horrific in its subject matter, even after I was in my 20s and fine with that VN with the literal brain fuck CG, so heavy content warning for rape and abuse of power. Drakengard in content, as opposed to Suisenka(?)’s Drakengard in design. I think there was supposed to be a but in here, somewhere. Anyway, been thinking about it alongside Bible Black and Free Friends 2, and figure that if you want a horrible, fucked up VN to subject yourself to, here’s one.
