Thanks for an amazing August/plans for September
🕑 Added 2022-08-31 15:40:47 +0000 UTCTrying a new update post format for each month, let me know what you all think:
Hello everyone and thank you for an amazing August!! This month we had our 2 year anniversary as a channel, and we also had our second highest number of patrons in a month with 3521, you all are AMAZING!
Patreon is the most essential reason Montana and I are able to do what we do as creators, and getting to delve into these shows you all love so much gives us immense joy. Most reaction channels have to just watch the episode nonstop to be able to post a shorter video on YouTube and get more views, but because of you all Montana and I get to do what we do with literally every show we have watched over the course of our five year relationship, which is pause every so often and discuss the deeper themes, and have a moment after each episode to unpack how we feel.
Its incredible to be able to create videos knowing I can be fully free creatively and not have to worry about watching what's popular at any given moment, but instead take time to slowly analyze shows that you all deem as masterpieces in some way or another. What we end up with at the end of the series we watch is a robust analysis of nearly every component of the show, almost like one long video essay, and that is thanks to you all!
On another note, the emotional support at times when Montana or I need time for our mental health's is essential to our well being. To be real, there are times when Montana is so anxious that she simply cannot film episodes, and then there are days where we knock out a ton of episodes, with no rhyme or reason as to what day will happen next.
This is why we don't have a set schedule, but thanks to you all being so understanding of this, the great thing that's happening is that Montana is feeling better than she ever has before, and we are starting to film more and more! Thanks to to you all, we get to do what we love to do while feeling well mentally, and we are forever grateful for that!
Ok, sappy speech over, here are the plans for September!
Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood:
We will be dropping episodes 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, & 35, if not more! I will keep you all posted as to when those will come out, but I have a feeling its about to be WILD!
Arcane:
We will be posting the rest of Arcane as soon as humanly possible! Episode 7 will be coming out tomorrow, and I expect both of the other episodes to be out be the end of the week/early next week.
Demon Slayer:
Ok, so here is the thing. Demon Slayer is our first attempt at doing a third series, and honestly it is more difficult that I previously thought, mainly because Arcane episodes take an hour and a half to film each, and we are planning a wedding right now. I want to be absolutely transparent with you all and let you know that we will most likely not be dropping a ton of Demon Slayer episodes moving forward. We tried our best, but its simply a workload issue right now. The show is great, but we just have a ton going on right now and a show that fully can't be posted to youtube has to be low on our priority list for now sadly. I will let you all know if anything changes, but the plan for now is to watch whenever we can and post the episodes as soon as we're done watching them. I think we could watch episodes 9 and 10, and will let you know when we do!
To those of you that really love Demon Slayer, I know this is not ideal, but I don't want to fully give up on the series because its so good! Just keep in mind it is the 3rd priority out of our shows for now, thanks for your understanding!
After Arcane Shows: Beginning of Phase 4 of Letts React
We will also be watching the first episode of Dragon Prince, Owl House, Young Justice (ep 2), and Star Wars: the Clone Wars (not sure which episode that will be but will keep you all posted!).
The plan is to post our reaction of the first episode of each of these series to YouTube for 4 weeks, then after those weeks we will decide which series we want to watch next! This will be based on the same stats as phase I, II, and III of Letts React, weighing youtube views and engagement as well as which shows you all vote for in polls. Hope you all are excited!
Invincible:
I'm a little wary of invincible for now because I've heard copyright is hard for youtube, and honestly as good as Arcane is editing an hour and a half of footage is DRAINING, but I was thinking of maybe solo reacting to it first to scout it out for Montana, that way I can let her know what moments not to watch, and I could post it as a solo series here! Let me know what you all think!
These are the plans for next month, and I could not be more excited to get to work on editing it all. Thanks for 2 years of supporting our channel, and here's to another great month!
Best,
Kenny

Deathnote plans anytime soon 👀👀👀

hence the invincible solo series! this is exactly my thinking

My invisincible take is less with the gore stuff and more that it's another instant success 1 season show like Arcane. Part of why I like your korra and she ra reactions is how much time you spend lvoijg a multi season show and stuff and I think 1 season shows at a time is just a different experience. Arcane is great but it's hard to know if season 2 will be equally awesome or not and by the time season 2 comes out will the same emotion be there? Imagine how much less impact season 3 of she ra would have had if it took years between season 1 and 2

Not sure if you got my message I sent you a while back about Invincible, but I am so glad that you’ve decided to potentially watch it solo first. It’s pretty graphic, so I was very concerned about especially Montana watching it since she has a hard time with mild gore and disturbing scenes. I am honestly very relieved. It’s a great show, but I think it’d be too much for her and potentially you. I’m excited, as always to see more content, but definitely remember that both of your mental health comes first. We all love you guys and understand. If it makes more sense once Arcane is done to only do two series instead of three at a time, then please do it that way. We don’t want to make it feel like a burden or burn you guys out. Especially since you both are planning a wedding, which is way more important. Thank you both for being you and being so genuine. :)

That said, it may be a fun idea to try some solo stuff or stuff with you and Chris for anime that is less editing for times when Montana is stressed about filming so that she can have the space to recover and the content keeps flowing even if it's not the Kenny and Montana content? I feel like solo reactions are great but things are always more entertaining when you have someone to ping off of and interact with during reactions and discussions.

Thanks for the update, Kenny. As always, our first priority is also you folks' mental health and well being so please do take care of yourselves first and foremost.

I'm so happy to hear how good this has been for you both!! I've never been happier to support a patreon :)
Chelle
I wouldn’t say it gets worse, it just doesn’t lighten up. Which probably isn’t exactly good news either lol
Haorii
Thank you for your update :) it has been a pleasure following and supporting you. I also would love to see your movie reaction to Iron giant and maybe it would be a cool variety to do some movie reactions for movie monday or so every two weeks. I would soooo love to see you react to some Disney or animated movies from Dreamworks 😇😇
LadyBee
yeah, and the rest of the season doesn't pull back on the gore, it just keeps getting worse

I thank both for putting effort in every reaction video you do, if you have issues with 3 series at the time at least in my opinion is completely fine, even tho i love Demon Slayer or Arcane i understand if you have other things to do and not having time of filming them or if you have issues with anything, and it's great to know that montana is feeling better, after all you get to do a lot of things in your daily life and still always gives us this amazing content, so no worries :)

Invisible has a lot of gore in it, I know Montana usually looks away when stuff like that happens, so if she’ll spend half of the episode looking away I don’t think it will be the best experience both for you two and the audience even though I really really love the show.
Vex Valor
Please also react to the Arcane music video. It has clips of Arcane that were made for the video that canon to the show. You have watched up to episode 6, so it won't have any spoilers in it.
Marcelo
Solo react to invincible plz!
Letts React
I am extremely knowledgeable on Star Wars and know a lot about DC, but havn't seen Young Justice fully through, though I have seen some random episodes! Montana has seen Episodes I, II, III, IV, V, & VI of Star Wars, and knows basically nothing about DC!
Sean Fox
What no way man that’s so sad 🥲
imcalledgpk
Me too, it's sad that they're dropping it again. It's such a good show, but they always decide to cancel it, then bring it back on another platform. Sadly, now that it's died on HBO, I don't think it's coming back.
Oppiee
Young Justice and Clone Wars?? On a scale of 1-10 how familiar are either of you with the DC animated universe and Star Wars in general? Really hyped for these!
pineapplegreg
No worries at all! It'll be a nice surprise when they pop in the feed and I know you guys will get to it eventually! :)
Letts React
Thanks for understanding! I know its not ideal, but I want you all to know where we're coming from
Letts React
The thing is a solo reaction wouldn't be difficult for me to do, as I would just post it here, and since its just me reacting I will edit it less
pineapplegreg
Thank you both for creating so much awesome content for us! I'm dissapotined about Demon Slayer but understand and will be looking forward to them whenever you guys drop new episodes!
Sean Fox
God I love young justice
Danny C
Great update! Glad to hear about Montana's progress and that you guys are getting some well deserved success. I watch a lot of reaction channels, but you two are the only ones I support outside of Youtube. Keep up the great work and looking forward to the rest of Fullmetal! :)

If you're iffy about Invincible, maybe don't even put in the work on a solo video and just watch the first episode solo to see what you think
