Working on something I've never done before behind the scenes! It's like I'm teaching a less-experienced version of myself! I'll be playing around with this thing this weekend more after several hours of trial, error, and building today (10/02/2026).

If all goes well and this, let's call it "thing" for now, works as intended, I will be able to get videos out in crazy time! If this can even do half of what I'm needing, that is still a significant improvement.

Of course, everything must first pass my own review before anything moves to the next stage! Everything is still done within After Effects and interpretation is still left open-ended on purpose (as all my videos are). What's changing is the editing time (hopefully LESS time spent on editing)!

If all else fails, I still have two hands and a brain that works, so... xD
I'll post more details in Discord when I get things working! Already a lot of work done today, but more still to come! This is also helping me get a better handle on what, exactly, my workflow is actually like. Haha.

If you read this far, would you prefer 2-3 shorter videos/mo and 1 longer video near the end of each month/start of the next? I burned myself out really bad with consistently long videos. I'm glad they're received so well, but it's a heavy mental tax working on them as frequently as I was. That doesn't mean the type of video/content changes—I just narrow the scope some so videos don't exceed 10 minutes as often. It makes work/editing easier and uploads more frequent (I'll pose this question in a few places, so if you see it, please give me your feedback!).

See you soon! It will definitely be this month! I have Halloween stuffs planned! n_n

We hit 1,100 subscribers today (YAY)! I really don’t deserve your support in this way when I take these extended breaks. :(

I’ve been waiting for a couple things to fall into place first, but we’re just about there! One of them was the global launch of BiliBili (surprised me too)!

I have no aversions to making content; it’s the editing part that really puts a strain on me, and I’m really sorry I let that get at me the way it does (breaks between videos).

I have at least 5 or 6 new ideas swimming around in my head! I just wish the editing process didn’t take me hours when I already don’t have much time when I get home from work. :(

I love all 1,100 of you, and those who stop by to visit the channel and watch videos who aren’t subscribed, so I promise I’m not giving up! I just need some way to lighten the editing load. >_<

Going to push for a video for next week into early October! I promise I’m still here! ❤️‍🩹

I'm letting the first 2 or 3 weeks of this new semester get underway before I get back to doing a whole lot here, but my brain keeps printing out video idea after video idea and I'm biting at the bit to share with you all!

Tentatively, looking around week of Labor Day (US holiday) to get some stuff up and hopefully keep relatively consistent!

Do you like videos like my Needy Girl Overdose video in terms of content and things I talked about in the video? There will be more of that going forward!

Some updates!

I know summer is coming to a mental close for many as school starts back up again soon, we enter August, and the seasons begin their slow-walk to change once more.

What does that mean for this channel? Well, probably more frequent uploads than the last couple years through August and September with more evolution on how—and what kind—content gets made around here.

Daemons of the Shadow Realm video will be up soon. I know I said earlier this month, but I legit lost so much motivation… That’s a story (why) for later, tho. Haha.
After that (not in any particular order):
•3Gatsu season 2 is still planned
•update video on Expelled From Paradise’s sequel movie coming in November (2026)
•How Ed and Al shape the world of FMAB
•Vinland Saga—A different take on the series
…and obviously more as time goes on.

If you need a place to watch anime, I recommend a place named after a famous anime meme phrase (it was me, *Dio*) and a *stream*-like body of water.
Also, what if I made a *.com* blog/website type of thing where I post blogs/scripts and talk about them with the community? Long shot idea, but hey!

All is well on my end, tho. I’ve just had a much busier summer than I was anticipating. o.O
Did you like the format/style of the Needy Girl Overdose video btw? Would you like to see more stuff like that or more like what I used to do, 8-10min videos?

No video this week/end! Enjoy the 250th America celebrations this weekend and stay COOL and HYDRATED! I'll be in Vegas for a few days next week, but I'll be doing some editing work on the side until I get back around the 10th! Expect Daemons of the Shadow Realm *then* with more fun stuff to follow!

Have fun and be safe this weekend! If you do anything cool, leave a comment! I like to hear what you guys have been up to!

I know I said new video last week, but OMG the internet here in Virginia has been TERRIBLE! Still, I’m managing to get some editing done, so you WILL be seeing a new video THIS week when I get back home.

I’m going to try to get a bunch of stuff out really quick, but you won’t be disappointed! Thank you all for being so patient!

Special video for 1k subscribers is coming soon! In the meantime, if you want a chance to have your comment featured in said video… I’d recommend commenting sooner rather than later! ;D

Several videos are already in the works with more coming after my family vacation next week! It’ll be quite the *riot*! ❤️

I HATE burning subtitles into anime. I have Needy Girl Overdose, Daemons of the Shadow Realm, and One Piece soon. March Comes in Like a Lion S2 after that as well as FMAB. I still have the commentary for Solo Leveling S2 I recorded last summer... Maybe Solo Leveling soon too?

Burning these subtitles in takes so long... if I even do it right! In the meantime, go catch up on things over on ‪@AristeaLumiere‬ ! The most recent upload will be an excellent preface to NGO on *this* channel! If I do the subtitle burning right, NGO will be next week!

I miss direct downloads. -_-

Semester is almost over! I only have a few more assignments left to work on before I lock-in on these new videos! I have some really fun ideas planned that I can't wait to share with you all including Needy Girl Overdose (not for the reasons most people are probably talking about) which should get a few brains going! 🤔
