Heart Cocktail Bonus Info #2

Seizo Watase alsos lent his art to multiple alcoholic beverages over the years. I wonder what anime tastes like? 

Bonus Info: Heart Cocktail

Heart Cocktail was the only anime I know to be sponsored by a tobacco company. Here's a title card for the show as it aired on TV. I had to omit this info from the video because of Youtube's policy on not mentioning tobacco. 

Early Access: New Video's Done

I consider this finished, but if there's absolutely any problems at all let me know so I can fix them before making this live. Is my voice loud enough? Is the background music too loud? Right now my voice is at negative 2DB because I thought it was a bit much, but I can revert it if it sounds weird. Please also check to see if your name is in the credits. If it's not I need to fix that too. 

PS: Was up all night putting the finishing touches on this, so I won't able to fix/make thi...

Name Exclusions for Patreon Credits

If you want your name excluded from the credits or changed to something specific, please please speak up. I know there's some people who just use their real name online & I don't want to upset anyone. 

Patron Names at the End of Videos?

What's everyone's take on this? Should I add these to the credits? If so, who'd like their name at the end?

Gotta post something here right? Video is 100% recorded, I'm around 50% done adding visuals. Aiming for a Friday premier. 

Video Preview

Script is done, and I'm editing together the recordings now. Hoping to have this out in the next few days. Currently committed to doing this fulltime since I got demonetized, so I'm aiming for one video a week. I probably won't be able to meet that but I'm going to give it my very best shot since you guys are my only support right now. I was literally one patreon month away from not paying my rent. Time to put my skills to the test. thank you so much for your support.

PS: If there's any...

New Video Might be Patreon Exclusive

So I've recorded the new video no joke, maybe 100 times, & each time I get less confident that it's up to my standards. Sometimes I talk too slow, sometimes it just sounds like I'm yelling, and in general the longer it takes the less I feel like fixing it. In short, it's just not funny. I've got the whole audio recorded and the video should be around 20 mins long, but I'm going to make it a patreon exclusive video so I can get some feedback. If the response is good I'll roll it out to the...

$500 Goal Hit - Name your prize

Finally hit my first goal. What kind of bonus content did you guys want? 

New Video's Up

Sorry for the lack of updates. I'll be doing a stream sometime soon. Life's been hitting me lick a truck his a magical girl lately. Next video is probably going to be something on the level of chargeman ken. Yes, that bad. Expect video frequency to go up in the coming months as I focus on the channel full time. 

Saturday stream on VHS

Just a little experiment I did. I was really tied during this stream so this is just the Mega Man 6 section, but as an experiment I don't think it's that bad. Let me know what you think. 

Full English Translation of the Lavithunder Article

Again, major props to marty on youtube for doing this for us. 

New Video: The Lost Anime Found on a Vinyl Record

I'll be posting a little supplementary material on this soon. Someone recently theorized this may have been a concept album, but I've never heard of one with a n anime attached to it. What do you guys think Lavithunder is? 

Silver Fang Bonus Info #2 (Literal Jojo Refference)

"Even though I love going through animal encyclopedias, Iggy was the first time I made an animal main character. It was also my first time drawing animal battles, so I did research using Yoshihiro Takahashi's Silver Fang (Ginga Nagareboshi Gin) - Hirohiko Araki from Jojonium Vol. 15 

Silver Fang Trivia #1

In the CAPCOM video game Monster Hunter, there's an enemy called the "Redhelm Arzuros". The Evil bear from Ginga Nagareboshi Gin was named "Aka kabuto", which translates literally to "Red Helmet". Needless to say it's a direct reference. Will be posting more Trivia in the next few days.

This is the New Video - Had To Fix An Audio Error

Sorry about that, the background music was too quiet so I had to make a last minute fix. This is the version that'll go live in 12 hours. It's the exact same video just with the music slightly more audible. If you want to get a comment in before everyone else now would be the time to do that. Thank you for your patience. 

All 5 of my Unlisted Anime Reviews

This is a followup to the previous post, but as an apology here's all the videos I've unlisted over the years for either being not funny or boring. The Panzer world Galient video specifically had the audio muted by youtube towards the end so the audio is all garbled. I may redo any number of these videos one day, but for now they're all available on one playlist as a patreon reward. Full Playlist: 2020-12-14 07:55:59 +0000 UTC View Post

Unlisted Videos

I've unlisted my variety video on things that might be anime. The Video's Been Unlisted Because It Contained too many errors, & I'm just generally not happy with how it came out. Full reasons of mistakes

1: Wikipedia is an Encyclopedia, not a dictionary. 

2: Go Bots Came out BEFORE transformers, so even though I thought it was a ripoff as a kid it's not.  

3: Nutcracker fantasy DOES have a myanimelist page for some reason. Don't ask me why, none of the  &n...

Next Anime Video

So as I said Earlier I'm doing two videos at the same time. I'm still working through that sukeban series I mentioned, but it's looking like I might finish a new anime video first. Is anyone familiar with this? It's a Series about Hunting Dogs that fight bears & I think it really deserves a video breaking down just how great it is. Not sure what the thumbnail would be, but I think the title I want to go with is "The Anime Where Dogs Hunt Bears". 2020-12-08 20:04:42 +0000 UTC View Post

Next Project & Suggestions for Improving the Channel

DVDs for the next video came in. I'll be looking at Sailor Suit Rebellion Alliance, the show made to compete directly with Sukeban Deka  at the height of it's popularity. Since this isn't anime content I'm going to see if I can edit together another anime retrospective in tandem so I don't disappoint anyone. I know most people are here just for the Anime, so that should make everyone happy. What did you guys think of the most recent video? Seems to have a higher than normal amount of dis...

New Video's Up

I got really experimental with this one, so let me know if I went to far or just far enough. 

New Video Either Today or Tomorrow

Just putting on the final touches & working out some youtube stuff behind the scenes.  Expect it very soon. 

Update: Recording is 90% done

Just spent around 4 hours recording various takes. I'm guessing the video will be 14 minutes long bare minimum, but it might dip into the 16-20 minute range depending on some retakes. I'm thinking the title is going to be "Things That Might be Anime". I was going to name it "What is Anime", but the spirit of the video makes more sense with the second idea. If you have suggestions for the title let me know. Examples of stuff I'm covering are: Cartoons done by japanese directors/animation studi...

Next video's script is wrapping up so I thought I'd give an update. Original title of the video was going to be "Anime that Don't even exist", but it looks like that's gonna be it's own video instead (depends on how much info I can gather, otherwise I'll combine the two) . This video will cover the literal definition of anime, & all the crazy things that come with it. Mostly it'll be a spotlight video with a bunch of weird stuff that was either partially animated/created by japan, or stuf...

Recording is Done.

Gonna see if I can get this out somewhere between Wendsday & Friday. 

About to Record - Do You Guys Still Want Scripts?

Writing is basically done with 95% of the script locked down at this point. Did you guys want a preview script, or do you just want to wait for the full video?

Thumbnail Preview

Figured I should make more updates. I'm just around done with the script for the next video. It's not the LONGEST thing I've ever done, but I think you guys are gonna like it. After that should be the lost shoujo series retrospective. 

PS: Does this thumbnail look too clickbaity? I'm thinking something along the lines of "The Underwater Nausicaa Anime"

Golden Bat Bonus Info #3

Wahhaman is a manga about a Cyborg from Atlantis, that wakes up centuries later with amnesia. Created by the same person behind Space Family Carlvinson, he's constantly laughing like a madman & the entire series is a loving tribute to Golden Bat. 

Golden Bat Bonus Info #2

Fighting game character "Revenant" from the "Soul Calibur" series looks a lot like Golden Bat's 1950s Musketeer design. Once you know who he is, you start to see him everywhere. 

Bonus Info: Golden Bat in Smash Bros.

Gold Bone from the Nintendo 3DS Game "Mii Force" references Golden Bat. When they brought him to Super Smash Bros. his themed Mii Fighter had a Solid Gold Costume With Bat Wings & a Mask!
