FEBRUARY 2025 CHANNEL UPDATE!

Comments

Thank you for the comment and kind words! I really appreciate that! Hopefully, the comments will be more fun likes these for the shows and I am looking forward to seeing these shows and having all the wild reveals come out! Thank you for the support and consideration!

It’s SO weird to already be here! January was both really long and SUPER fast! And thank you - I love answering comments so much to fangirl with people as well and learn about the shows in ways I wouldn’t have thought about previously! And thank you for your consideration and kindness! I appreciate the cheers! 😀 And ahhh, I feel Ping Pong was SUCH a perfect series to replace March Comes in Like a Lion! They’re actually very similar spiritually! But I have had so much fun with them! Thank you for the comment and kind words! I’m so excited for February! Take care as well!

Ahh, thank you for the comment and kind words! It’s WILD that it’s been a YEAR already! Hahaha, parasocial relationships are just bizarre to talk about - I don’t mind being friendly to anyone! Luckily, very few have crossed that line (no one commenting anyway) into it going too far, so that’s good at least. But I’m always appreciative and grateful for support and if I can help make someone’s day better! And if I can help folks see a new side of a piece of media and been entertaining in doing so, I have done my teacherly duties for the day! But I totally agree with you on why reactions are so engaging for people! And yes, that part ProZD said about critiques and comments; I felt that, watching! This month is going to require a lot of prep (since I’m traveling a lot in March), but I am excited! And yesss, Ping Pong has been SO good so far! As for Utena…at least we have dungeon meshi to balance it out! Thank you for the comment and kindness!

Yesss, everyone was so helpful during me without power or Internet, so I’m really thankful and appreciative! And AHAHAHAHA – I mean, I did put that survey out there for suggestions, so if people recommend things that weren’t recommended in the survey…what can I do with that? Oh, the first Land Before Time is a masterpiece…it’s so sad and beautiful! The YT AI commenting IS weird! I don’t like it and I’m sure if I DID use it, it would not sound like “me” writing at all. But yeah, I feel you on it getting frustrating when the comments ask you things that you either put in the description, in the comments themselves, or in the very videos they’re watching. I LOVE to read comments but I definitely want to be genuine in answering them from here on, and really only answer the ones I really feel like it or desire to engage in conversation with…which is still 90% of them hahaha!! But thank you for the understanding! THREE D MONDAY!! Hahaha, Luckily, Ping Pong is really short - only 11 episodes - so when you are caught up with Daiya, it won’t be a long watch! XD No, but Link Click has me in LG’s mind palace for sure! But I LOVE IT FOR IT! The Free! To AOT comparison - I mean, IT’S THERE! Imagining Eren in the Free! Universe and being a mediocre swimmer (because that would fit his character) is hilarious to me! Also, Haru could have just swam across to warn folks instantly. What we could have had….hahahaha! Thank you for the comment and kind words and HAPPY FEBRUARY!

I was really amazed by the shirt; I'm in love with it! And hahahaha, I don't know where they got it from, but hopefully they can let you know...so I only get the GOOD. BARBIE. MOVIES. Hahaha!! Thank you for the comment and kind words!

Romaniablack

Thank you! I'm in love with it, too! It'll have to be used in reactions for sure!

Great update video! I can completely empathize about your frustration with certain comments - especially with the ones that are filled with spoilers. I tend to watch anime episodes as they come out as an anime only, and then watch the reaction videos for that episode and the comments. The worst part are the comments that "hint" about certain plot points (I'm sure you know the ones). It's such a shame because I love the comments that discuss the episode and having the experience of hearing what others are thinking who are watching for the first time can be really fun! I just wish those who know more about future plot points choose what they say a bit more carefully, because getting spoiled can completely ruin certain stories, in my opinion (even if it's often not their intention).

I can't believe that we're already in February; I feel like I blinked, and a month went by. One of the things I love and appreciate about your channel so much is the comments. It's so special, and rare, to be able to fangirl and freak out and just generally have a good time discussing these shows with you; and I appreciate so much how open you are about them. Thank you for sharing what you need from us with them, and making it all so clear. I hope you can continue having a good time with them, but above all, definitely prioritize yourself and your mental health/peace. In the meantime, I'll be here, cheering you on, from both the comment section and Patreon <3 You know, it's kinda funny, in a great, amazing way, that the last two sports anime have been so incredibly good and insightful. March Comes in Like a Lion and Ping-Pong have been so much fun, and such incredible surprises to me. I hope you have a super fun February! Take care <33

Another great update video! I can't believe how quickly it's been, a year since I started following here - Feb 2024 - it's been such a pleasure! And then we go right into parasocial relationship talks, haha, why not! I appreciate getting the all transparency in these videos - it's important I understand we're not friends obviously - same for any reactor I watch. Reactions have become a great (but not the sole) source of entertainment for me, and I love hearing your theorizing and living vicariously through the reactions - which I think is the main draw of watching reactions; as well as they can positively influence one's life in MANY ways - reactors do amazing stuff for so many people. And there's also the benefit of learning things too, so that's why I'm here and what I love! I only hope to return a little of that back from time to time! The pointers for comments are helpful - like you especially like to read about the fun of the episode, fangirl over it, and DO NOT try to correct you or your opinion - as ProDZ said - he's not looking for critiques in the comments. Your schedule looks awesome and is even challenging to keep up with for me! Ping Pong rewatch is pretty high up on my list to get to, so I'll get there soon - well sometime this year! I'm also a little worried about what's coming ahead on Sundays with the second warning now haha *gulp*. Now to begin the 2-hour Delicious in Dungeon drop! :)

Massive thanks to everyone who got you the files you needed so that you could do reactions again once you had power. I will cross my fingers, toes, and touch all the wooden things in my room that your internet is here to stay...again 😅 But yes, please be sure to take care of yourself whatever more this year throws at us. Can I just say I could feel Teacher Romania in the room at your comment about filling in the survey next time to get more say in the year to come 🤣 Hey now, no dissing Land Before Time by comparing it to the Barbie movies 😝 I mean the sequels and the TV show were...not great. But the first one is good! I still cry over Littlefoot's loss 😢 Agreed that YT's AI commenting tool is so weird. The responses it tried to automatically suggest to me sounded so robotic, and not at all like my normal way of commenting. But I totally understand the feeling of wanting to reply to all your comments but so many of them being repetitive comments. I don't get "corrections" as I've seen you get. Mine are usually questions about where the content is from...which I have in the description box 🤦‍♀ For the sake of your enjoyment I definitely think taking a harder line with comments will be more beneficial to you. With the mention of burn-out I do wonder if being interactive with your reaction community is a factor, alongside the make-up of your community. I hope it never happens to you, but if you ever feel you need to take a break (either from just reading comments, being present in the discord, or reacting entirely) I'm positive that those of us who really appreciate your in-depth analysis of these amazing shows will happily wait until you no longer need time away 🫂 It's the three D's time for Danmei Mondays!!! Drama, death, and divas going by the first two episodes 😆 Ping Pong has been on my list for so long. But I need to finish Daiya first otherwise Kelsey may find a way to haunt me 🤣 Romania: I've been just dangled down a rabbit hole, with so many conspiracy theories, so many threads. It is a spider's web this series Me: Sounds like Lu Guang's mind palace...🥲 Oooh Run Wild 🥺 You tore off Bertholt's head like titan!Armin ate him 😂 The quest in Free! is for Haru to not swim in every piece of water he finds he could fit in, and spans complicated childhood history and relationships. Definitely comparable to Shingeki no Kyojin 😝 Some gorgeous artwork there though!

I am so jealous of that shirt, I must know where they got it! Fine, tell me where to get it and I promise to only make you watch the good Barbie movies.

I love that t shirt!
