BOFURI
We're diving into the world of BOFURI this week and honestly, it's one of the most enjoyable series I've watched in the past year. The art of video game anime shouldn't be difficult to nail but often the authors lock themselves into a life or death troupe and ruin it for everyone. Since BOFURI is literally just a VRMMO it allowed for the mechanics to be explored in such an enjoyable way that av...

Question for anyone who sees this. I'm thinking of adding extra content to tier 3 where right now it's early access and worth the price in my opinion, but I figure I might make it more appealing just to be nice to those already apart or might join at some point. The idea is all my thumbnails for the month I give you the raw file so no text overlay just the thumbnail I made. Some make good backg...

Spring 2020 What Will We Watch Podcast
This week's video is the podcast for the month where Ryan, Jc, and myself look over the Spring 2020 chart. These are always my favourite episodes to record as it's the most chill atmosphere while getting excited for new anime as we speculate on what could be fun if not amazing. I think the episode overall is pretty enjoyable to listen to and there were some highlight points that really entertai...

Babylon Analysis
Next up is a deep dive into Babylon which I think should please those who enjoyed my videos on the series already - those with hate boners probably won't change their mind but so be it. I approached the video as a dissection of the three story arcs while expressing how the biblical undertones really let the series flourish in the best possible way. It's easy to view something as faulty when you...

This week's video is a dive into Ascendance of a Bookworm which was a fun little challenge to make. Not necessarily because of the creation side but the watching of the anime. I really was put off initially by the idea of Bookworm for the simple reason I saw no reason why the show needed more than 3 episodes before it lost its charm. But once I re-binged it when it concluded everything became v...

Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun
This week's video which will be up for early access later tonight is a breakdown on a show that I thought would fail but hit all the right notes for me. I've been loving my time with Demon School these past couple of seasons so I wanted to make a video that both sells newcomers on why it's worth their time but also making something appealing to those who already are watching it. It's a fun brea...

Best 2019 Anime
This week's video is my top list for 2019 anime (no podcast this month decided I wasn't feeling up for it). I've been doing these kinds of videos since 2017 but my 2018 list was how I wanted to structure these videos going forward both thumbnail wise and script-wise. Once again there is 30 anime mentioned in this video yet I didn't even try for 30 but somehow it always ends up as a top 30. It g...

Cautious Hero
This week's video is an analysis on Cautious Hero in the same style as my 'Konosuba Is Hilarious' video I did last year. While I expect plenty of dumb comments claiming it's not funny because of the leads backstory - the anime is designed to make you laugh so I treat it as such, a comedy. I really enjoy breaking down why something is funny because very few do so. Usually it's just this is funny...

Beastars
This week's video is an analysis on Beastars. This is probably my favourite video I've made to date and I think people will love it. I went the approach of it being 3 character analysis pieces in one while also a larger theme to tie the video together. I put extra time into making it then I normally would simply because I felt like it needed to be 100% and I wouldn't look back negatively at it ...

Vinland Saga Video
This week's video is a deep dive into the world of Vinland Saga which is one of my favorite videos I made in 2019. Vinland Saga lends itself to always have interesting ideas to say so breaking down in an analytical way why it's so amazing was easy to do while allowing for me to really push my creative thinking. I really enjoyed Vinland Saga a ton so obviously I was going to make a larger video ...

J-Works Fall 2019 Awards
This week's video is the podcast for fall 2019 awards where Jc and I go over a lengthy list of categories and present awards to all the great shows we watched this season. I made the list to allow for all the anime I watched this season to get some form of an award as there were so many good shows that it felt like a sin not to give them each a category to win. I always enjoy these podcasts whi...

Fire Force Video
Ever since Fire Force began I had plans to make an analysis or big review for it down the road but once the second cour really got rolling it was clear that I needed to make a video not just thinking I would. The interesting thing about Fire Force is that by all rights of the definition the first cour is an early 2000's battle shonen with some unique twists and turns. But where the second half ...

Dr. Stone Video
This week's video is a deep dive into the world of Dr. Stone which goes over why I think the series works so well in a 15 minute analysis style video. This series has been one of my favorites to follow as of late and easily top 5 of 2019 for me so I knew I had to get out a video really highlighting what makes it so great. I always hum and ha about whether to give spoiler warnings but since this...

Fate Zero Analysis
This week's video is my favourite video of the year, a deep-dive into the world of Fate/Zero. I have a bunch of anime that I want to make videos for but usually when I re-watch them the ideas I come up with don't meet the standards I have for the anime in question so I scrap it. It's why it took me three years and re-watches to make my Code Geass video. I finally crafted my favourite video on t...
