Shitsurei, Kamimashita here.
I don’t usually do these kinds of videos,
but I thought since there were a couple of
things coming up in the pipeline that this
would be a good opportunity.
First of all though, thank you all so much
for the support.
We’re approaching ten thousand subscribers,
and I’m blown away consistently at the amount
of support and positive feedback that I’ve
gotten.
Many of you have asked if there’s any way
you could support me further, so in response
I’ve created a Patreon.
I’m going to be very upfront here, I’m
not starving for money, so do not in any way
feel obligated to donate.
There are certainly ways increased revenue
could improve my content, but I’ll expand
on that in the Patreon goals.
It’ll take some time for me to work out
the reward tiers, but I’ll most likely post
simple ramblings on seasonals weekly or so,
as well as random video notes or commentary
from time to time.
Some of my videos require a good amount of
research, and as you’ve probably noticed
I tend to release every 2 - 3 weeks or so.
I plan to have it set so you can donate per
released video, but right now it’s set to
monthly for one good reason…
A couple of months ago, friend and fellow
AniTuber Zeria called out others in the community
to participate in a challenge of sorts called
the 12 Days of Anime.
It’s a way to try to bring together all
parts of the fandom, regardless of whether
you blog, tweet, or make videos on YouTube.
Basically it’s a call to create 12 blog
posts, videos, what have you, for each of
the 12 days leading up to Christmas.
Now, like I said before, my videos tend to
take some time, and there’s no way I can
get 12 fully scripted, edited videos out,
that’s like several months of content for
me.
However, I’d still like to try my best and
participate.
So this is just a notice to you guys, expect
some… uh “out there” content from me
in December.
I’ll try not to sacrifice my usual level
of quality, but consider this time period
experimental, as well as just plain fun.
As a result however, I might not be able to
have many videos released in-between now and
then.
I’ll certainly try, but please be patient
and remember that you’re getting 12 of them
after a bit of a wait.
Finally, I’ve got some really exciting news
for some events coming up within the next
couple of months.
Most of you probably don’t know, but I was
involved as a juror for the last Reddit /r/anime
Awards (I’ll link the results website in
the description).
This year I’ve moved up to an organizer
type of role, and I’m kind of spearheading
a brand new addition to the awards that we’re
really excited about… a livestream!
We figured that streaming the results would
be a lot of fun to watch and add a level of
anticipation and hype that simply posting
a wall of text doesn’t generate.
We’ve also reached out to some names in
the community to help us out and talk about
what shows 2018 has gifted us, so I really
hope you’ll come watch, it’ll be a great
time.
Right now it’s tentatively scheduled for
early February, and I’ll try to keep you
updated.
And there you have it!
If you have any questions, feel free to ask
in the comments below.
Once again, thank you all so much for the
good vibes you’ve been giving.
And of course, if anything I said was wrong,
I’m sorry.
I must’ve stuttered.
