Manga Book Club - Golden Kamuy [PART 3, Finale]

Don't forget, book club is this Saturday at 2pm EST! We're wrapping up Golden Kamuy, so if you've got something you'd like to read, be sure to suggest it below. Aloha and I are thinking a shoujo would be a nice change of pace.

I haven't read my assignment yet because I've been busy nursing the Anime OP video upload, so my discussion questions will have to be pretty basic this time around:

1. Who's your favorite character and why?

2. What was your favorite and least ...

The Opening Project - EDITING BREAKDOWN

I talk about some of the editing choices I made in this video for three hours. It would've gone on for longer and gone into more detail, but I had a Dangan Ronpa stream today and had to stop.

Please ask me any and all questions you have about any moments in the video and I will do my best to answer them!

OPENING PROJECT - In-Depth Analysis (PART 3)

This breakdown is a companion piece meant to be viewed after watching our Top 100 list in "The Search For the Best Anime Opening" video. We recommend checking that out first if you haven't seen it yet!

This post contains the middle third of the video, covering openings 93 through 41 as well as a few bonus openings not on the list at all that make for good examples.

Amy & Jello's Top and Bottom 5 Anime OPs

SPOILER WARNING: Jello's #1 Bottom pick explanation has spoilers for the series the opening is from. If you see the opening and realize this is a series you don't want to hear spoilers for, skip to 57:07.

Over the last two years Amy and I have watched thousands of anime openings to create our own, perfectly curated "Top 100" list. Now, after much toil and hardship, our work is on display for all to see. If you h...

NEW VIDEO - The Search for the Best Anime Opening

Finally! After two years of work, it is finished. Thank you guys so, SO much for your patience on this video. You have no idea how much effort went into creating this thing and I really appreciate all my Patrons who stuck it out while my production line was relatively quiet.

You can annotations and footnotes here.

There are a few differ...

Golden Kamuy Book Club - Ch. 101-200, March 15th

Don't miss the next Book Club meeting in one week on Saturday, March 15th at 2pm EST. We are covering up through Chapter 200.

Also, for those reading official releases, I noticed a few strange name localization choices in the Viz print regarding two characters. i just want to clarify so we all use the same names when we're talking about them at the next meeting, kind of like how we did with the Pokemon Manga re: Blue/Green's name localization swap....

EPITHET UPDATES + Live Editing Stream (Now)

I'm entering the home stretch of this ~1h15m video about the design of anime openings that Amy and I have been working on for almost two full years now.

Feel free to join me if you're interested in editing streams. If not, here's the next few things in the pipeline:

• The Anime OP video is very, very almost done. I'm putting SFX on it, which will be wrapped in ~2 full days of work, today included hopefully. Then I have to put music on it,...

Jello Reviews "Fire Emblem: Engage"

You've heard of the Fire Emblem game with ballistic missiles. Get ready for the Fire Emblem game where you play as toothpaste and die twice.

New Fully-Voiced Stream Series - DANGAN RONPA

Due to everyone's generosity, we hit the $15,000 donation goal for our New Years stream. The grand prize was that I play Dangan Ronpa fully voiced with friends, a game I have been told by about 10 separate people that I will hate.

Yippee!

First stream is today in one hour. If you're a fan of our AA playthroughs or any of our other ones, be sure to stop by.

As of the frist sitting this one features Vixen, Chula, Arim, and Savvy.

EPITHET SONG - "An Itty Bitty Evil Little Lullaby"

Get the song here. The name is currently under revision, so this link might break later. If it does, within a week "Itty Bitty Evil Little Lullaby" should be the correct title!

Finally finished this thing. Took way too long! This means there's only one Kickstarter song left: The big, over-the-top Giovanni villain song. Hopefully...

5 Hours of Dumb Things in "Fire Emblem: Three Houses"

A WAY too in-depth review of all of the dumb things in Fire Emblem: Three Houses.

CLICK HERE for character rankings + notes.

Amy got me to play FE:3H after years of ignoring it, and this game is so unfinished and silly that talking about all its problems is going to take me several hours.

This is obviously...

Looking for more stuff? Storyboards and a behind-the-scenes video can be found here.

Some outtakes and extras from the most recent So This is Basically video, including a rap I spent too much time on and will never do anything with.

Usually I record this other VAs up front, but for this video I just recorded a demo track of myself doing everything and then swapped in other people over time. Her...

StiB One Piece - Storyboards + Breakdown (ft. Bo)

Bo and I sit down for two hours to talk about this, which seems like a lot of time until you realize this video took us a year.

We've also got the storyboards and behind-the-scenes imgur album.

The album also contains full versions of images you can only see some of in the video, like the wiki page.

Video Editing Livestream - One Last StiB One Piece Stream

This video is coming out this week! Wowza. I'm doing some last polishing and layout work before printing it out, slapping SFX on it, and sticking it back into After Effects to laminate it for shipment.

Come hang out, I'll be doing touch up work and small effects so this one will actually be fun from an viewer standpoint.

Also if you missed the last one, we had a way-too-long conversation about hypothetical kink culture based around Eenie Meenie Minie Moe so you know whatever this ...

Persona 5 Royal - Way Too In-Depth Character Rankings

After I mentioned on a stream that I spend way too much of my free time making in-depth tier lists with essay-length analyses for strategy games and RPGs, people asked me if I could share those on Patreon.

Some people really liked the one I did for Wargroove 1 + 2 alongside the audio reviews of that game. They asked for more.

I also just slid in a bunch of voices from other actors yaaaay.

StiB One Piece - Editing Stream

Gotta get to work on this. Come watch me edit!

For reasons, this is now the next video in line to be done. Hoping to finish it before the big Epithet event on the 16th but I'm probably going to be hit by a meteor or something.

I still have residual cough/inflamed throat/stuffed sinuses so I'm not planning on talking but I might type in chat occasionally and take music suggestions (nothing copyrighted, please. This stream won't be monetized but for some reason having one video un-m...
