Here's a little preview of that small fun side project turned hour-plus video essay that Amy and I have been making! I'm really proud of this intro. Custom artwork by FlareGunCalamity. Wow!

Here's the second set of Epithet portrait visual references! This one covers the secondary characters from episodes 5-7: The Bartender, Gorou, and Howie.

Next time around it'll be some of the major characters! I DM'd Rhea most of the lead images because she was in charge of them, so I don't have them in a convenient Imgur al...

Just wanted to let fans of our fully-voiced playthroughs know that AndYetKnowBananas has released another 20+ minute animation of some of our best bits ever, the STINKO JIM gag from our Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn videos.
You should watch it and subscribe and give them money.

Aloha, Amy, and I are hard at work at our main Best Anime Openings of All Time project. The blocking is mostly done and the full video will be somewhere around 70 minutes long. This project has basically turned into a video essay. I'm quite proud of how it's coming along!
Amy and I have two thousand hours worth of anime-opening-pinions at this point, so when the video launches we'll be putting out a lot of extra Patreon-exclusive content alongside its releas...

People at the signings said they really liked my audio reviews where I talk about movies. Which is nice to hear!
Unfortunately, to review animated movies, I have to watch them. So here's a list of some animated movies I have not watche...

Hey gamers.
Amy and I are on the penultimate stage of our big cross-country road trip from Los Angeles to Toronto and are currently sitting in a hotel in Michigan. During the trip we had two car breakdowns, one of my vertebra popped out of place, and we had two very lovely Epithet Erased signing events, so I've been very busy! I wanted to get something out for Patrons before returning to work on the Top 100 Anime OPs video, which will be our next project once we get settle...

A double-feature anime review of "Rise of the Shield Hero" (derogatory) and "Sugar Apple Fairy Tale" (beloved)
EDIT: Updated to fix the part of the audio where Sugar Apple Fairy Tale's cheery opening was exported randomly in the middle of our dialogue.
While I was working on Dogs in Love, Amy (who lives with me now, yay!) needed something to watch. Amy sometimes like to watch garbage, so she decided to check out Rise of the Shield Hero 2024-07-13 07:20:15 +0000 UTC View Post

It's finally done! Thank GOD!
I hope you guys enjoy it because I've been working on this on and off for over a year and I'm SICK OF ANIMATING THESE DOGS.
Amy and I are driving across the country next week. We'll see what happens next for the channel.

Doing some editing work for Dogs. Amy lives with me now and we're leaving LA in a little over a week so we're pretty busy, which means I want to get this done as fast as possible and doing SFX work on stream tends to keep me from getting up and walking away.

In between my other main projects (Dogs in Love + Streaming + Epithet) I've been tinkering with this video and having fun creating transitions from one opening to the next. There's going to be a very long intro section with original art and stuff, but right now that's still in the scripting phase (though it's almost finished). This is a big preview of both the list itself and specifically all the stupid little edit...

Doin' a little work over stream for the 4th and final Epithet-related thing coming out this week. The previous two shorts were pre-animated by Luvey but for this one (which has art by Masu) we're trying a version that just has the art pieces all separated and I'm gonna animate it myself.
We'll see how it goes!
Also here's this terrible behind the scenes exchange.
To celebrate Epithet's official publication in all formats, we're releasing a visual read-along of the first four prologue chapters and first two chapters proper on YouTube, with nifty visuals by everyone's favorite Piph, Piph!
