Hey all, thank you for the lovely feedback on my Chainsaw Man video, I appreciate that some of you guys won't be watching it as you're currently watching the anime, so I hope you're enjoying the story nonetheless!
This Friday 21:30pm UK BST (you can check what time that would be for you here) we'll be watching Jordan Peele's Wendell & Wild movie for Halloween! We'll be watching through Tel...

IT'S FINALLY HERE!! After 500+ panels cut out and animated, the eventual wait is no more - my video on Chainsaw Man (of which, was one of my Patreon goals, that, thanks to you guys, I had reached) is now available to watch!
I haven't really seen anyone cover this topic as such on youtube for this manga - and there is a lot of videos on this series - so I hope i'm able to bring something new to the table! The video will be released publicly for everyone to watch tomorrow, of which the su...

Hey all!! I think we're due another watchalong together since the last, and I've put together another bunch of movies in a poll for you to pick from!
As we'll be using Teleparty again to watch the film, you'll have to double make sure the film is available to watch on Netflix in your area (otherwise you'll have to pick a different film). But, I think most of these are Netflix...
Hello everyone! It's been a week and a half since I released the Everything Everywhere video, and I've since gotten straight to work on my upcoming Chainsaw Man video. I'm wanting this to be some of my best manga editing work (as always, I like to try and top myself or try new editing techniques).
But for this video I wanted to start off with a bombastic intro! The whole video itself will take some time to make, but I hope this teaser will give you an idea as to the efforts i'm going wi...

Hey all, back with my second video in August! (I know, i've surprised even myself!)
This one might be a little more personal at times in the video, but only because the film touched me so much, so I hope the messages I try to convey aren't lost in that. It's such a heartfelt, emotional, hilarious and bombastic film that deserves any and all praises. And I hope I've done the film justice!
This is also the first video that's got a sponsor - in this case with NordVPN. They w...

As for what i'm currently doing at the moment, I've just finished up the script for my video on Everything Everywhere All at Once (and updated with a cuter thumbnail as you can see in the attachments!) I'm really happy with how this video is turning out, and it shoul...

So, I've got two things I wanted to talk about:

It's finally here, woohoo!! 🥳🥳 It feels like this video has been a long time coming, and I couldn't thank you guys enough for the patience, support and excitement you have all shown for the video. With over 500 separate manga panels edited and animated, this manga video makes for the most complex one I've done yet. Phew!
I know there's quite a few of you who started reading this manga after my recommendation quuiiiiiitteee some time ago on my very first video - and I said I'd make...

Hey all,
I spent a bit of time collecting all of the resources that I use on the daily for my video editing and design work. I've had a few questions on Discord or via Patreon, or you may have asked during a livestream, about what resources I use. So I thought I'd collate all of my links together and show you what they do and how to use them!
There's a wide variety, so I'll put the list with links here for you guys, to make it easier:
Hey all! It's been 2 weeks since my Heartstopper video and I just wanted to thank you all for the lovely comments on here, discord and on the video itself! After the release of that video I was on holiday for a week - I haven't been abroad for over 10 years, so I felt it was about time haha, also it was a graduation present for my sister.
But! Now that it's been a good while since returning from the lovely sun of Spain, I've been continuing to work on the Skip and Loafer video. As...

Hey all - the video is finally here! As some of you may have seen on the Discord, basically i'm on holiday 20th-25th June and knew I wouldn't be able to get the Skip video done in that time. It still has a good 4.5 weeks worth of editing needing doing on it (manga editing really does take so unnecessarily long). So! I thought I'd do a compromise and create another video idea I had for the future, and release it much earlier. Just so you guys have got something in the meantim...

Hey all, for those not in the Discord, we've been planning the idea of a watchalong together! We'll be watching the movie Words Bubble Up Like Soda Pop, an anime film directed by Kyōhei Ishiguro (who also directed Your Lie in April).
Hey guys, I'm back with another commentary , this time for one of my all time favourite videos on the channel! Had a lot of joy revisiting this one (even despite having to listen and cringe at my past mispronunciations).
In many ways, this was the video that got me """"known"""" to some within the anitube community, and was pretty vital to the growth of the channel, but even outside of that - it's just a video I look back on very fondly because of how much fun I remember having when wor...

Hey all, thank you for picking your favourite out of the poll I set a few days ago if you did. The results are in and you guys voted for the Skip and Loafer video to come first! Super happy to start on this video, as it's a series I love dearly.
Keeping in mind that it's a manga video, the editing will take longer than what the previous 2 videos took to make individually. It takes a substantial amount of time cutting out the manga images and then making them ...
Hey all, hopefully you enjoyed the Mob Psycho 100 video - the feedback I've received has been nothing short of lovely. 😊😊
I did say at the end of that video I'd be doing a video on Skip and Loafer, however I've done some thinking over and thought, "hey, why not let my patrons decide, actually?". So, I recently hit the first patreon goal, of which the reward was a Chainsaw Man video.. Meaning the ball is in your guys' court.
Would you prefer me to do a manga video on Chains...
"I wanted it to be something that feels kind." - ONE (Mangaka of Mob Psycho 100)
To quote from my video "Mob Psycho 100 is a favorite show of mine because its protagonist is kind to an unfaltering degree. He knows everyone suffers differently, people come in all degrees of faults and issues because the world can be harsh, but decides to be kind anyways."
Mob's story is so beautifully kind, and he's the type of protagonist I wish we had more of. I love this story so much and the me...

Hey all, so I was asked by one of you guys how I go about masking in After Effects, and thought it'd be a good opportunity to do a little tutorial to post for all of you! It's a very simple thing to do, but so effective when used properly. Hope this helps anyone out!
And if anyone ever has any questions about editing, I always try my absolute best to answer with the most help I can manage, so ask away whenever!

Here's a little tutorial of the effects that I use to try and get the best sound out of my microphone using Audacity. The mic I'm using is the Shure SM7b, but this can easily apply to all microphones across the board.

Heya all, I'm going to be doing a simple livestream this Wednesday on Youtube. I'm going to be designing the Youtube Thumbnail of my next video after the Mob Psycho 100 one! So if you want to hang and chat you're more than welcome to join! (If you can't make it, no biggies, it will still be accessible to watch after the streams ended through Patreon).
I'll post the link to the stream 5-10 minutes before I go live to give people a chance to pop in if they'd like. :)

Arcane is one of the most beautiful, well-crafted and thought-provoking series I've seen in a while. Not just in animation. But as a series in and of itself. I could make thousands of videos surrounding this series, but I've yet to see massive discussion on the way the creatives at Fortiche so perfectly drove the narrative within a development of careful decisions regarding Arcane's environment.
I had MORE than a blast creating this video. Every single scene could be screenshot an...

Hey! I'm back with another manga video!
Quite often online, especially within the twitter space, I'll see a tweet asking "Which manga has the best art?". It's more a question that can be answered based on your own opinion and taste, but more often than not, I've found the answer is.... Well, predominately realistic and detailed art.
With Berserk, Vinland Saga, One Punch Man, Golden Kamuy and the like, often taking front center stage for what most people ultimately consider the "be...

Hey all, been two weeks since my last video was uploaded (thank you all for the lovely comments and feedback)! This is just a quick little video of me talking about how far into the next video i'm at and when I expect to be uploading it - which should be between the 7th - 12th March.
I also talk a little bit about the change up of videos i'm going to be doing after the Stylised or Realistic video!
Thanks all and I hope you're having a nice day! 2022-02-23 14:29:15 +0000 UTC View Post
Hey guys, my The Owl House is up next for its commentary - as you'll hear a few times in this, I had a lot of fun making this video at the time, it was the first video I did on a western animation and i'd love to cover more western animation shows down the line! Hope you guys enjoy!

Hey all, I hope you're all doing okay! Here's my next video, woohoo!
The very first video on my channel was a part one of two manga recommendations series, discussing 6 different manga I loved and enjoyed. The feedback from that video was insane, for the reception I got on my very first video...

I haven't watched Blue Period yet, so I thought this would be the perfect opportunity! Let me know in the comments or tell me on discord if you like this kinda thing and I'll continue! I thought the first episode was pretty good, looking forward to the rest.
