New Fully-Voiced Stream - PIZZA GAME!

It's time for another fully-voiced stream. This time we're playing my sister's very own PIZZA GAME, the shitpost dating sim where everything is spelled wrong and all the characters are terrible.

Pizza Game dropped in 2019 and we never really had time to do anything about it because Plaster was busy (read: didn't want to) and I was busier (read: dying in the worst part of Epithet Erased crunch). So now, we're reading it! We being these people:

In Stars and Time Video - SFX Editing Stream

Gotta finish putting 42 minutes of SFX on this video in one day. Whoops! You can come watch Jello do this for like seventeen hours if you want a glimpse into his process or if you just want to spoil yourself for tomorrow's video in the silliest way possible.

Manga Book Club - What Do We Read Next? (Mar 2024)

SORRY IF YOU SAW THIS POLL TWICE, I MESSED UP THE FIRST POST AS PER USUAL AND PATREON DOESN'T LET YOU EDIT POLLS HA HA HA HA DAMMIT

After two shorter Book Club meetings we're looking to jump into a slightly longer series again. Not quite One Piece Long, but something that requires multiple sittings to finish.

Multiple choices are allowed. Please limit your voting to no more than 2 choices.

Dokapon Video Preview

I'm taking this month to work on some of my own stuff. I'm currently splitting my time between the Epithet website, novelizing the Epithet museum arc into a book, getting back into streaming more, and this gargantuan video I'm working on.

This stupid video is two straight hours of me methodically ripping apart Dokapon Kingdom, a terrible but ultimately pretty harmless party game for the Wii and PS2. It is, sincerely, one of the most ineptly-designed games I ha...

POLL - Yam + Jello Anime OP Lecture Scheduling

Amy and I have spent over a year watching thousands of anime openings, trying to rank the actual for-real best 100 Anime Openings of All Time. And we did it! We finished. We've got our Top 100. We also have several thousand hours of study and opinions to share with you all.

Eventually I will release a polished video with the full list on the main channel. When that happens, a companion video will go up on the Patreon. The companion video will be Amy and...

Next Manga Book Club - PLUTO

Hey readers. The next manga book club date has been set. We'll be talking about Pluto, a robot murder mystery thriller set in the world of Astro Boy. This recently got a Netflix adaptation, but as per usual, we're just here for the manga!

This time around we will be joined by Aloha and Amy will be subbing in for Bo! Pluto only has six volumes, even shorter than Dunmeshi, so we will be hosting our livestream club meeting for fellow readers in three weeks on View Post

Jello Reviews all the "One Piece" Movies (ft. Bo)

Bo tricked me into watching all the One Piece movies and if I had to suffer then you do too.

Bo and I reread all of One Piece in our manga book club. We're making an animation about One Piece together. And now, Bo has decided to pass on the curse of watching all the One Piece movies to me. Here they all are.

2024 Projects - Roadmap

I realized that things have been pretty quiet on my end the last few months for a variety of reasons, so I figured I should make a post detailing what I've been working on and what order things are likely to come out in.

2023 was very much a year of me being hired to work on Secret Projects for things other than Epithet and my YouTube channel. I tried and failed to balance those projects with my own work because I always prioritize other people's work going smoothly over anythi...

Manga Bookclub - Dungeon Meshi (Jan 28th)

Here's the stream link for our next book club meeting. People have asked for some discussion questions like we had at the end of One Piece last time. It'll be a little harder to come up with questions for a one-sitting book club, but I'll do my best.

Some discussion questions for you to bring to the club meeting!

Manga Book Club - DUNGEON MESHI THIS MONTH

Hey all! We're getting ready for another BOOK CLUB.

This time around we'll be reading all 14 volumes of Dungeon Meshi in one sitting. We'll be sitting down to talk about it on January 28th, which is a Sunday. This club meeting will also have me, Bo, and Aloha, and will be exclusively streamed to $5+ patrons.

We'd love you to join us! After the rampant sexism of One Piece, a manga by a woman should be a real palette cleanser. Aha. Food joke.

What Animated Movies Should I Watch/Review?

People responded well to me finally doing another batch of animated movies. So I guess I should just formally ask which ones you're interested in hearing me talk about!

I've been tracking the animated films I still need to see on Letterboxd. "There are 53,894 animated films." Watch them all or die trying, I guess!

Here's a list of various movies I have some level of interest in watching. Some are because I actually want to watch them. Some are because I've seen every movie a studi...

Animated Movie Reviews [BATCH 3] - Elemental, Smallfoot, and More!

An hour and a half of movie reviews, most animated, some not! Includes "Elemental" and several movies about Bigfoot.

Been awhile since I did one of these! It's a big ol' batch of movie review-vies. I start a little sleepy but wake up pretty quick as I have more to say. Apologies in advance for calling Smallfoot "Abominable" like fifteen times. I had the Abominable poster up and was looking at it while talking about Smallfoot.

Dokapon Video Song Preview

I'm heading out to spend the next five days doing nothing but traveling and signing/drawing in Epithet books at my parents' house. I am going to be so tired. And then, knowing my luck, I will be sick when I come back.

So, in the meantime, have this song we recorded for the intro of the stupidly-long Dokapon video I'm working on in the background. It's a cover of Ren's Money Game Part 2,...

So This is Basically One Piece - Audio Preview

Yeah we're back

This video is going to be 8 minutes long and it's meaner than the RWBY one. Not because I think RWBY is better than One Piece but because I want to throw rocks at Eiichiro Oda specifically.

"Bubblegum Renegade" - Songwriting Process

Behind-the-scenes explanation of how I wrote the song "Bubblegum Renegade". This song is a riff on a very niche subgenre of crappy 50s/60s ballads and the weird amount of musical theater that seems to accompany them.

Whenever I start writing a song I always use one specific melody or lyric I'm really attached to and build from there, but this time there were like five false starts because I accidentally kept ripping things off. This behind-the-scenes is basically roasting myself, haha.<...
