This conversation is possible thanks to the help of all of my patrons.
Context
I had an exchange with Hero Tenki, looking a bit at both his works and the climate of syosetu pre-2012. Though I would argue Sword Art Online is not isekai itself, it’s effect and influence on isekai – at least in ter...

In the home stretch, almost everything is there, sent to Sandra for her approval before modifying the audio levels and then publishing it.

Sorry about the delay everyone, I've been working on some non-channel stuff and it's been eating up some of my time. Anyhow, here's where I am right now.
This is the general rough, I'll be adding a few more things and smoothing some out, but this is mainly to keep everyone up to date!
Hi everyone, sorry about the delay, but here's the current progress on the upcoming video. Sorry about the delay on Isekai, Part 4, I'm still in the conversations with authors, will upload translations of the conversations once it's finished,

Hi everyone, sorry about the delay, but I just got back to editing it. My aim is for the 9th of September, cause then I can smoothly progress to the next one right away.
NONE of the audio has been properly levelled, there's a bunch of black space and there's a lot of footage that has been to properly scaled and positioned, so please don't ...

Listen to our terrible podcast as we discuss the mothman prophecies, based off America's own homegrown kaiju. I didn't realise how quiet I was until I listened to the audio, and if you know about this film, you'll realise that we didn't want to rerecord.

While I'm working on the next isekai video in little bits and pieces, I'll be working on two video projects: a video with Sandra Annett about her book on Anime's Fan Communities, with an emphasis on her earlier chapters, and a video on Ichigo 100% through the lens of Lacan's petit objet A.
I haven't gotten all the middle figured out yet, b...

This is possibly the most up-to-date, quickest podcast we've ever done.

2019-07-15 02:57:28 +0000 UTC View PostHi y'all,
As another feature for patrons, I'll be uploading all of the manga assets I've cut up. They're free to use and distribute, no attribution is required (though I would appreciate it). I'll start from the next video, but if you have a request already in mind, let me know and if I still have the files, I'll upload all the images I us...

Just to let you know, I'm almost done the master cut for the next video, I'll upload it (minus a bit of cleaning and adjustment here and there) when it's finished.
To notify, I am adding an additional perk for all patrons, which is a 1 hour editing help session. What I mean by this is that for all patrons, I will provide...

Sorry about the radio silence everybody, I recently finished up (and passed!) my field examination. What that means is that I'm at least competent when it comes to my area of interest (Game Studies, Ideology, & Disasters). I'm now a PhD candidate instead of a student, which frees up a bit more time.
Here's the ongoing project, it's lon...

Hi y'all,
As always, if you don't want to be spoiled on the final product, you might not want to watch the actual video. These logs are to keep patrons updated and in-the-know as to what I'm working on, what kind of progress I've made, etc.
Sorry about the radio silence for the past few days. Here's the current updat...

Hi everyone, here's the current edit. Only three minutes so far, but it's mainly because I had to sketch some of the assets. No comments at the moment.

Hi y'all,
Got to some Kumo desu ga, nani ka assets, I will probably edit out the blood splatter, I don't like it because it's not really that organic in the context of the video.
The displacement map was a bit wonky on the hand for Kumo desu ga, so I transitioned from -5 vertical displacement to +5 only, so it's not noticeable for th...

Here's the skeleton for the first minute. Considering we are going into a discussion on devouration and dealing with control, I might re-record my word devouration to something broader. However, if the audio doesn't sync up properly, I might not and just leave it as it is.
I haven't edited the slide sound effect nor put in footage for game...

Hi y'all,
I'm going to start doing what I call an editing carnival. It's not a festive thing. What I'm going to do is that when I start editing, I'll render and upload every part I have finished. That way, everyone has an idea of where I'm at, what the process is like, and see what's changed, not changed, etc. Consider it sorta like a load...

As an additional perk for patrons, the Skrullz and I (channel owners) will have a pretty crappy podcast. Some episodes will be public, others will be patron-only. I don't which is which, it'll be pretty arbitrary.
If you'd like us to read the comments for the next episode, please leave them in the discord or leave a comment here.

So the wire on my drawing tablet finally kicked it after 13 years, so I'm going to be looking for a drawing tablet with a screen this time. As such, the excess amount (I've kept it updated in the discord channel) will be used to fund a tablet, which will hopefully allow me to more quickly clean assets. Any excess will be paid ...
