Okay, Let's Talk... (Mental/Physical Health & Content Creation)

Figured I'd share this here for anyone whose not subscribed to the Youtube Channel. I talked about what's been going on behind the scenes, my personal struggles, and content creation.

Give it a watch if you want, vlogs don't usually do amazingly well for folks like me.

WELCOME HOME, YU XIA!!!

Oh yeah, we're back in business, everyone! I ain't ready for this series, it's made me cry multiple times & I don't think I have enough tissues... this story wasn't nearly as painful as what Emma went through, but I do appreciate how "low stakes" it felt & how everything resolved. I am so happy nothing truly nefarious was going on!

LLOYD IS UNHINGED... AND I LOVE IT! A 10/10 BACKSTORY SEQUENCE?!

Okay, yeah, I'm sold. I'll admit, I had doubts about this adaptation & the production staff just casually blew them all away... the staff COOKED & I couldn't be happier! How crazy will future fight scenes be when the staff's this passionate about doing the source material justice?! I ain't ready but the hype is real!

GOBLIN SLAYER WOULD NOT APPROVE!!!

I want to believe this will turn out good but the omitted scenes make me worried about what else Studio Deen might do with this adaptation... hopefully, they're just rearranging events to improve the story flow & plan to add them back in here soon. Still very happy about it's R Rating, the gore & bloodshed are integral to the story & I'd hate to see it annoyingly censored like so many other anime.

SURPRISE ZOMBIES?! CRIMSON OVERFLOWING!!!

Holy shit, Ch'en... that was such an awesome trump card reveal! I cannot wait to learn more about her sword, its cost, conditions, and potential sentience. Plus, did you see how BEAUTIFUL that animation was?! How crazy will it get when the sword's fully unsheathed?!

I cannot wait to see what'll happen next, we've cleared the first half & I don't doubt the second half will blow me away... once we move past these issues! Am I the only on...

What Are Your "Top 3 Must See" Anime Films?

Hey, y'all, I'd appreciate genuine feedback as I've been craving anime films as of late. So, if I were to watch one, what are your "Top 3 Must See" ANIME movies that I should see? (Yes, I'd record a reaction & post it here, for Silver & Gold Tier Adventurers only though.)

Why do I bring this up? I might have the perfect window to record said reaction this weekend. So I'm willing to try & see how it'd go, tho...

THE JOURNEY BEGINS & I'M NOT READY!

I won't say much, as my reaction speaks volumes about how passionate & attached I am to this series, but the emotions were real... I couldn't stop myself from tearing up multiple times.

I got (very) high hopes for this remake, so please don't disappoint us, Studio Passione... adapt the full story with as many seasons as it'll take, cause we're all desperate to see the story continue past the original anime!

Quick Heads Up

Hey, y'all!

I wanted to inform everyone that content has been recorded. So far, it's only my reaction to "Spice & Wolf (2024) S1 EP 1," as I did have to spend today filing taxes like a responsible adult, but I plan to edit it for Patreon and release it as soon as I can! ...Only issue is that the raw footage length is ~90ish minutes total cause I talked A LOT and included several "Patreon Exclusive" segments that definitely increased its runtime. So yeah, it'll take some time to edit...

Bronchitis couldn't keep this weeb down! Sure, it's sucked a whole bunch & I got a persistent cough, but I've survived and I'm ready to get back into the swing of everything. Content will resume, starting with Arknights S2 EP4 here soon, then I'll work on Winter 2024 shows (plus other titles), and I intend to start Ark The Animated Series since that "surprise dropped" this last Thursday.

In Regards To Arknights S2

Hey, y'all, I'm sick. I was obviously not feeling super well during S2 EP3's reaction, but whatever I caught progressed further. I'm not suffering like crazy, it's mostly just uncomfortable and inconvenient, but what sucks is the lack of energy, the struggle to focus, and the headaches.

I don't have enough time to edit EP3 and release it onto YT today. Frankly, it's more stress than I need right now, so i've made the decision to delay its release by a week, and that means Patreon's also...

Small Content Delay + Overall Update

Hey y'all, I've felt very off today, physically and mentally. Might just be exhaustion from staying up too late dealing with Youtube copyright issues recently or it's the changing weather, it's been yo-yoing between warm and cold temperatures for a little while now.

I can't guarantee I'll record Arknights S2 EP3 tonight, I'd prefer not to create subpar content, especially for a show where I want to pay as closely attention as possible. I'll gauge how I feel as I spend some time editing ...

10/10 PEAKNIGHTS!!! FROSTNOVA'S SONG?!

Okay, y'all... this was pure peak, pure cinema, pure QUALITY from the production staff and it blew away all my expectations. I was left speechless, struggling to process what just happened.. Out of everything I've seen thus far, S1 & 1/4 of S2, I don't think Arknights has ever looked better and that makes me so, so happy to see it treated this well.

I won't say much, my reaction speaks for itself (1 hour 18 minutes of footage total), but I do really appreciated that we're jumping straight back into the story, no time wasted on unnecessary recaps/flashbacks to refresh viewers. Our intelligence is being respected by Yostar, so much so that even I can follow along as an anime only!

ALUS VS VIKEON?! HARGHENT'S A TRUE MAN!

Did I go into this series with the wrong mindset/impression? Or are my concerns about the exposition & direction valid? I still feel I would've preferred to follow Soujirou/Yuno over Alus/Harghent (or other people), because the premise of their journey was a big reason I was so hyped last time... Hopefully, we'll get better from here onwards!

Hey, everyone! I wanted to make y'all aware about what's been happening on this page lately.

1st) Collections! Did I spend several hours creating individual series playlists & organizing them alphabetically? Yes, yes I did.
