Happy February!
Exciting news: Minutes ago, I finished the outline!
Not-so-exciting news: It's about 8,500 words long, meaning I need to do a LOT of pruning for the script.
With this said, I am putting a HARD CAP of 45 minutes on this video -- not a second more. I will reiterate there are LIMITED SPOILERS in this video as I wa...

I come bearing good news: We've got another interview soon! But before that, a recap of the past week.
I finished my rewatch of Blood Blockade Battlefront & Beyond on Monday! This went WAY faster than my usual watchthroughs.
Expect this video to be spoiler-light. I know a lot of people haven't seen this anime, and I definitely would love for tho...

Much progress on Blood Blockade Battlefront this week! I finished season 1 and am four episodes into season 2. It's been so long since I've seen season 2 that I've forgotten A LOT of what happens. I remember liking Luciana a lot (she's even my avatar on Discord right now), but I totally forgot why.
English Version Files Behind the Scenes: Episode 15 - Anpanman
Behind-the-scenes notes about episode 15 of English Version Files: Anpanman!
General Notes
Back in 2021, Anpanman was an EXTREMELY popular request on my channel. In the early days of my channel, I was known for covering series like Doraemon and Crayon Shin-chan (I kind of am now, too), and Anpanman is in the same realm, so it makes sense this would be a popular request.
I kn...

Most of the work this week consisted of watching Blood Blockade Battlefront. I watched the first half of season 1 with Ryan and took meticulous notes. He's loving the show. Xavier worked on matching shared roles between the Japanese and English cast.
I DID do some work on Project Bill. I read up on some interviews and consumed bits and pieces of the content. I also have at least one of th...

Behind-the-scenes notes about episode 14 of English Version Files: Kiki's Delivery Service!
General Notes
This felt like a natural choice for the episode after Totoro. Kiki's Delivery Service is my favourite Ghibli movie and one of my favourite anime movies of all time (as noted in my video, The Boy and the Beast is my #1, and it still is).
My first experience with Kiki's wa...

Happy New Year!
I actually did take it easy this past week... for the most part. I did set up a new archive for videos on an external 5 TB drive... as it stands, old videos take up about one terabyte of data, but that's not counting Fullmetal Alchemist, which is on another drive I need to locate... It was a REALLY big folder.

This video is presented as-is from a project file where I stored scrapped scenes that were WIPs. This includes any mistakes and unbalanced audio -- it's how they looked and sounded when I decided to scrap them. Some don't even have any images or videos. They're also in a haphazard order because I placed them like this as I was editing. Enjoy!

Hello,
I took it easy this week to adjust a few things on my new PC, edit my Shira Z. Carmel interview, and rip some Blu-rays for next year. I also bought the Blood Blockade Battlefront & Beyond Blu-ray set and two other Blu-ray sets I need for later in 2026 (to be revealed).

Hey everyone, this update will be quick; a more "complete" update will come in a couple weeks, once Kinnikuman EVF drops.
I am on the home stretch of the Kinnikuman video, which is great, but I will be occupied for the week with my family. I'd love to work on the video, but much of my time will be spent with relatives. I will still work on the vid...

It was a long road getting here, but I'm finally at the home stretch for putting in footage and images. How much further is it? About 12 minutes and 45 seconds, and a LOT of it is still images like screenshots. I am done up through the start of discussing the Perfect Origin Arc anime.
Yesterday I had to redo a section of the fan translation section as I h...

ICYMI, I am speeding up production on this video because it NEEDS to be done in the next few weeks before US Thanksgiving. Good thing I'm ~2 hours and 21 minutes into putting in all the video and images!

I want to start this off by thanking everyone for your patience. Autumn starts this week, and this video has overshot every estimate I've set because of how long and complex it turned out to be. Unless anything major happens in my personal life, this video should be done in the next 28 days. I'm far enough along and at the brink of being in "go mode".
That said, this week was che...

It was audio editing hell this week for me, but I'm nearly done with the first round of it, then I can do all my re-records in one go.
I split the work into six "chapters" that will come together as one video in the end. This makes it easier to edit. I did the same thing when editing PaRappa. As of now, here are the estimated times of each "chapter" with all audio edited so far:

Despite all the work needed for Otakon, I did manage to get a lot done for the Kinnikuman video. Namely, I finished the first round of recording. This past week I even did some re-records. Unedited, the audio is about six hours, and as of now, I have about an hour of finalised recordings...
