Anime and FPS seem like two things that never quite got along, but that isn't to say no one has tried - and in 2007, Black Cyc managed to bring the two together along with elements from otome games and B-movies to create an unforgetable boomer shooter visual novel...
IT'S FINALLY ALMOST DONE. DEAR GOD. There may still be some edits in the future if I - or any viewers - find inaccuracies, and I'm still workshopping the segment on the Arison Maiden route to best express my thoughts on its Very Rough content, but this is like 99% done.

For once, I've actually managed to get one of these updates roughly on time - just about 14 days after the Yami no Koe 2 video came out! Which has been performing actually better than I expected; it's a fairly niche video, so 13k in 2 weeks for that is fantastic in my eyes, especially with all the very kind comments and the engagement people have been giving it. I had no idea I had so many ace fans, but I'm...

Just over a year and a half after releasing the B-movie horror themed queer horror game, Yami no Koe, Black Cyc struck again with a sequel to the cult hit - a bigger, badder, and gayer game that takes many steps forward and a couple steps back, yet is still one of the most interesting games of 2...

Sorry for the... slightly odd timing on this one, I usually do these before the script to a video is finished, but I've been working to get this video done soon as possible to afford myself more time for freelance music work to fund a vacation (shooting for $1.5k or so, which has required a crap ton of work), and because Colossalcon is coming up and I want to be able to get enough done before then that I don't have to t...

Hello again everyone!
It's once again time for a preview of the next video -- and I apologize that this came before any sort of update this time, I'll try to write one tomorrow. I've been working hard on getting this finished as well as already trying to figure out what to do for the next video... which is probably Gun-Katana. That game slaps.
Anywho! The voice work for this script has already been done, so all that's left is just ("just") the editing!

Hello everyone!
Yes, it's finally time for the big one. The biggest of the denpa three: Sayonara o Oshiete, possibly my MOST requested game. This script is still subject to change, but as it is I'm happy with how it's turned out, and I hope y'all enjoy it too.

Hello again everyone! It's once again that time of the month for... updates!!
First off, I want to say thank you for everyone for your continued support, and especially in making the last video as big of a hit as it has been -- it's gotten over 30k views, which is absolutely AMAZING performance in two weeks for my channel! The patreon is also now at over $975, which I'm just so... so happy for, it's an absolute blessing to be making enough money to survive every month and still have som...

While itch.io is known these days as the place where one can create anything and everything gaming for the world to see, there weren't many places so free nor accessible in the 90s... but the 3DO was one of them, and my god did we get some beautiful, bizarre, unhinged, and amazing art out of it - especially overseas! So join me on a guided tour through a wonderful, forgotten realm, as we explore the incredible world of the 3DO in Japan!
Hello all!
As is tradition now, it's time for another script preview of the upcoming video -- this one's a bit late since I was making constant major tweaks and additions as I was doing video editing. Good news is the video version is damn near complete as I write this, at 36/46 minutes finished besides adding the Patreon bit!
I've said this before, but I do realize this video is pretty different from what I normally do, and I hope it's still enjoyable despite or for that. Next ti...

We've now hit the month of (unfortunately) some of us moving our clocks forward, and (fortunately?) a new video coming out soon-ish! I want to try and get this video out before the 25th so I can work towards a more normal schedule, but... we'll see how fast that goes, I'm doing my best but shit be hard. I'm also trying to actually take weekends off for the sake of my mental health, which is a challenge, but I'm definitely trying!
That said! Let's get into th...

What if I told you the Barcode Battler toy had a Japan-only manga in 1992 in the same magazine as Doraemon, that's not only an awesome mecha battle shonen, but talks about trans problems, AND has doujin sequels?! It's real, and we're going in deep.

Hello all!
Sorry this one is late -- a translation for it that needed to be handled very delicately was being workshopped till now, but it's all done now and the script is ready to be read before the video's finished! Which, speaking of, is half way done -- woohoo!!
Anyways, enjoy the utterly batshit show until the video is finished - this manga is... something special.
Goooood morning/afternoon/evening/night everyone!!
It's a new month, and that means it's time to... uh, be off schedule, again. Once again, it has... not been an easy few weeks for me. Things got better until around mid-January when my personal life once again took a turn for the worse (or at least had become very exhausting), and things are now again looking up. It's been incredibly hard to work throughout this, especially as I was balancing two music jobs and GED studies, but I'm thro...

With worldwide hit after worldwide hit, 2006 was a huge year for gaming - and it wasn't just the blockbusters that made the year so great, but the smaller titles too, such as Black Cyc's Gore Screaming Show. Now finally available in English, it's time to see just what made this game such a hit, and how it explores trauma and growing up in ways sincere and challenging.
I haven't had a chance to check this upload too thoroughly, so if there's any errors then please let me know so I can correct them!

Hello everyone!
It's time for the good ol' video preview script blog post thingy! Sorry this video has gotten behind again, I mentioned it in the update post but Christmas through New Years was not a good time for my mental health which delayed things severely. To make matters worse, I caught a cold once I started work on this again, though I feel like I'm at the end of it and will hopefully be able to voice the script on the 11th or 12th. Until then and until I have the video edited, ...
It's a new year, and that means... an extremely late video update, oh lord. I talked about it on Twitter but for those who do not use that platform (smart choice), these last few weeks have been horrendous for my mental health. I've had the worst depression I've experienced in a long time and have only not been bedridden because I'm with people who have me get up every day and do at l...

If you missed the previous post, then the brief is that YouTube shut down my alt account hosting all of my uncensored videos.
I've now updated every Patreon post with a Patreon Video upload of the videos, as well as a MEGA link to the original rendered file. If you were unable to watch the latest video or wanted to check out any older ones, it should once again be possible! (＾▽＾)

My current course of action is to upload everything to a MEGA account and work from there. All future uncensored videos will be uploaded to Patreon video unless they have conten...

After 16 years of waiting, one of Black Cyc's most beloved titles has finally surfaced in English - but just how did this brand with a love for all things queer, horrorific, grotesque, extreme, and empowering, get their start? The answer lies with one little game from 2001 that turns the very concept of corruption on its head.

This month, we'll hopefully be totally back on the intended video schedule with a shorter review, and also some cool plans for January. I've been working hard on game music to keep myself financially stable for the next few months, but the hardest part of that is now over, which means I can hopefully get back to a more healthy work/life balance. Hopefully.
Onto the updates!

Hello everyone!
As this video will once again be late while I desperately flail around trying to get back on schedule, I am pleased to once again offer the script to the video in blog form for those who would like to experience it early. The voice over has already been recorded, and I am hopeful it will be done by the 15th or so.
Still, please enjoy!
