Progress Draft

Sorry about the delay folks, I'll try and have the first three minutes of the next video up by tomorrow. 

Custom tracks to be available for December

Hi everyone,

Sorry about the delay on the next isekai (shoukan) video, it's been a bit busy around here. An additional pledge benefit I'm going to add is that all custom tracks used by the channel and made by Skrullz will be available for patrons.

Again, sorry about the delay.

Post-video Hangouts on October 25, 1 PM EST

October 23, 2018 Draft

Hi everyone, here's the draft for the first part of the isekai video. There may be changes prior to approval.

Current video progress

Hi everyone,

Here's the ongoing video in progress. It's been taking a while, I've just been editing bits and pieces as work allows, so my apologies on the delays. Obviously it's not cleaned up yet, so little stuff I still need to polish, but I'll keep y'all updated as well as I can over the course...

August-September Financial Log (video updates)

Hi everyone,

In case you're not in the discord channel, here's the expense log for August to September. Not much has been spent, but it's mainly because I've started working on stuff again. A video will be out by early October, I've got a salon seminar coming up in a week and a half that I need to...

Current Master Cut

Hi everyone, this is the current master cut (prior to approval from Rayna) on the latest video. Because it hasn't been approved yet, I'm posting it up for Patreons. There may (and will likely) be changes to the final video, but I hope y'all like it!

Video in Progress

Hi everyone, just to update y'all regarding the next video. I've started editing, and my hope is to get a copy out by the end of next week. Of course, there might be delays since I'm waiting on comments for a draft I sent for a part of my thesis, so I could get bogged down.

However, the main thing...

Finance Sheet

Hi everyone, 

Sorry about the delay - just wanted to keep everyone in the know that recently I hired someone for a job, and the end result wasn't what I hoped. Therefore, I have to get someone to do it again, since we'll just have to eat the loss and proceed as usual. Sorry for the...

Working towards better tracks - input and thoughts?

Hi everyone, I'm posting this here as well in the Discord, so if you haven't checked out the Discord channel yet, please do so! 

I'm thinking of subscribing to Artlist. It's a 199/yr subscription that gives access to royalty-free music. So why this and not just any other place? The reason why...

Heteroglossic Space in the Please! Series

The following is a rough script of the video, Heteroglossic Space in the Please! Series

Please Twins’ Heteroglossic Space

Please Teacher and Please Twins Script

I want to start with Mikhail Bakhtin’s Heteroglossia,...

I am not dead

Hi everyone, sorry about the silence, but I want everyone to know that I am NOT dead, I'm working on a video right now. Very sorry for the quietness recently! ^^''

Next video delay

Hi everyone, 

I just want to touch base with y'all and note that this month I have roughly four things I need to finish up before I can get to working on the next video:

1. I have a colloquium presentation at my local university regarding my dissertation. It's on the 20th, so...

Reiterating Discord

Hi everyone,

Please remember that I do most of my updates through Discord, so if you haven't joined the discord link, I've linked it again. Links for Hangouts, self-auditing (is that a thing?), and most stuff will be in the Discord chat.

If you do not have a discord, pl...

Marching, Masks, and the Meaning of it all

Remember the second episode where Moriko falls unconscious and has that dream? That dream where she sees the castle with all of the works plummeting into the abyss?

That is meant to be a really big giveaway, I argue, in favour of performance. The idea that there's this bodily holism or thing, and ...

Production and Communications Discord

Patrons can automatically join the Patreon discord, but I've noticed it somewhat bugs out at moments. If you haven't yet joined the discord server, here it is!

Lolicon Video, Prior to Approval, Master Cut

Hi everyone, here's the ongoing cut for the last part of the Galbraith videos. I've sent them to Patrick, and as of writing this post, he hasn't gotten back to me yet. I've notified him that if he doesn't get back by the 23rd, I'll just have to post the video (primarily because I'll be unable to acc...

18 more minutes to go

Just to everyone knows I'm not dead. It's just taking a while.

Community Funding Details and Updates!

Hi everyone,

Hope everyone is doing good! To give some updates on the community fund - it's been in a freeze at the moment because of the increased costs of everything else, but it isn't gone.

I've got two major updates to note:

 - The first one is...

Next Video, Prior to Approval

When I work with other scholars, I always try to get their input and approval on things. That way, even though I am condensing their arguments down into shorter, more manageable projects, at least I'm not butchering their material.

As a result, that means they're very involved in the production pr...

Next Project

Gotta give backers an idea of what it is I'm working on. It may or may not change substantially as the edit continues and I get feedback and thoughts back from interviewee.

Video Script

As always, these are rarely edited for grammar or spelling. Read at your own risk.

I want to talk a bit about the ERASED manga, particularly in terms of how a structural perspective on its panels can reveal some really clever aesthetic construction.

Because I do ...

Current Video Project

It's a fairly short video, nothing massive, mainly something I've wanted to talk about for a while but never had the time to. While I'm waiting on my meatier, larger video, this is one I'm working on in the meantime.

So I guess this is a sneak peek at my next video.

Tonkatsu DJ Agetaro Script

This has not been proofread, so watch out.

Tonkatsu DJ Agetaro Script

Okay, so one of the most straightforward scenes in Tonkatsu DJ Agetaro is when he first enters Club Box, a place that seems to be a reference to The Womb in Shibuya. He’s ...

Welcome to the Suck

So this is gonna be a long and fairly interesting, but possibly problematic series, mainly because it's a topic that can go in so many different directions. Focus will be hard to keep, since everything is going to be interesting. However, even focused the trap is falling into the smaller details tha...

Sekai kei Sekai Ron Translated

Want to be one of the very few people on MAL who've watched Soubi Yamamoto's Sekai kei Sekai Ron? Well I translated the video.

If there's a mistranslation, please let me know, my Japanese is still very nascent, so if I got something wrong, I'd appreciate any feedback.

February Expenses

This is what I spent the February Patreon money on.

Total is roughly ~183, I'm over budget. Again, thanks for everyone's support!

Second Half of Lamarre's Conversation

There's a huge chunk of audio that ended up getting corrupted somehow that never made it into the final product. I'm going to upload it later on, and you guys will see what I mean.

Ultimately it was a great discussion. I've been speaking to Lamarre since the Dagashi Kashi video, so whil...

Unedited Sabra Harris Conversation (6:15 in)

This is the unedited version of the Sabra Harris discussion (which was then turned into AMVs and Transformative Storytelling). I strongly recommend you go 6 minutes and 15 seconds in, because the first six minutes is just her and I trying to figure out how to make the most of the terrible internet c...

Community Fund ~ 3 months on

Hi there everyone,

I just want to say it's amazing that you guys have been able to chip in for the fund, and I'm hugely grateful for that! At the moment we're sitting on $115 USD, and I think that's absolutely phenomenal!

Now, I noticed that we haven't received any requ...
