I have like 5 or 6 more episodes of Chainsaw Man that I have to still edit and upload, and 2 or 3 more episodes of Dragon Ball to get edited and uploaded to here as well. I've got all of Solo Leveling done and uploaded. I plan on having it all uploaded by the end of the weekend. I need to go back and make sure I label the movies and the stuff I have anime wise so that it pops up when searched. I need to finish the Viking anime and Lacoris Recoil as well. So I have it, just either finishing or now, editing and uploading is the goal.

Thanks for a lengthy piece on your plans going forward. I am sure I echo many when I say please put your health & wellbeing first. I've seen so many great content creators suffer burn out due to the pressures of trying to keep up with what they percieve to be their audiences demands. I followed you since lockdown & your infectious laughter to stuff I'd seen and remembered from decades past over here in the UK really helped keep me going. You feel almost like a friend to me & I'm sure many others. Certainly you're someone after my own heart! It wouldn't matter to me if you took a little time out & scaled back a bit, I'll still be here. Still, if you feel ready, I'm here for it. You talk a lot about Anime and I haven't seen a great deal of it. I do have something on DVD called Laputa - Islands in the Sky which seems very similar to The Iron Giant & I was absolutely captivated by it when it randomnly came on TV many years back. Also, when I was young, between around 1978 - 1982 and repeated throughout the 80's was a cartoon series shown both sides of the pond called Battle of the Planets which I used to love. It was a lot later on that I discovered it was a heavily edited version of an earlier Japanese cartoon called Gatchaman. To make up for how much was cut, they inserted this whole piece involving a robot and his robot dog. It didn't truly fit the cartoon & was clearly a different animation. Having now seen the whole of Gatchaman, it's little surprise they edited it so heavily because parents both sides of the pond would have had an absolute nuclear meltdown if what was originally shown in Japan was shown to kids over here. This included the characters swearing at each other, violence and grotesque scenes that were just off the scale insane! Interesting fact that it was actually the inspiration for Power rangers. I mention it as it's considered the first ever example of Anime.

I will say this, as far as content for the channel goes, I feel I've got to make a change. Just my overall feeling the last year or so reacting to or finding stuff to react to and seeing what everyone else is reacting to, it's been hard to be motivated because everyone is reacting to the same comedians, same game show bits, same European cultures, etc. It just became a bore because as a reactor you want to try to find that thing that is different than everyone else so even when you do cover the same ground, you have enough difference that folks will seek you out. Everyone's covering differences in houses, look at all these European countries, oh, here's Would I Lie to You, or Task Master, or fill in the blank and it kind of narrowed down almost eliminated what you could look at to still stand out, to still be fresh and not just recycle the same content everyone else is looking at. So you either have to dig deep to find niche comedians and clips to look at which are hit and miss personally or hit and miss view wise. You never want to chase views but that's what keeps the channel healthy. And it got to be just unfun and demoralizing tbh.

I dunno the legalities of what I’m going suggest and your welcome to say your dumb but. I found your channel because your enduring and your laughter captivating. And when you re watch stuff with you at times it’s like your their with us on the coach. Have you thought of some how live streaming the reactions again I dunno how possible this is with copyright bullcrap but live-streaming it and maybe editing that down. I just feel maybe that would take the weight of I have a YouTube channel with some gaming videos no where near as successful. And the schedule to record and edit to create a video was rough for me when you have the following you have the pressure to give people something I can only imagine. Other than that maybe a schedule that suits you, videos that suite you. You know your audience, some will always moan cause you’re not giving them what they want and others are here for different stuff. I support you on Patreon simply cause if we went to the same pub/bar I’d buy you a pint and maybe a jager or sambuca for the shits and giggles. Respect Man.

Well, taking the rest of this week and the weekend to get the editing for youtube caught up and scheduled out will give me a month of leeway to record, edit, and post here and to youtube. The easy part is the editing and posting here. Y'all bout to get slammed with exclusives and early access stuff though.

If you HAVE to do some content, but don’t be doing too much. Just thinking about all the stuff you’re wanting to get done is making my head spin , so can’t imagine how bad yours is😕 Please look after your health first.. I’m sure fellow Patreons would probably be more than happy without bonus content on here, if it means you can have a wee bit extra time to rest and you feeling better again💕x
