Last year, I uploaded a bunch of Christmas songs onto my Odysee channel that I recorded years ago, and I thought that I uploaded all of them. Turns out that I missed this one:

The Little Drummer Girl Ritsu (K-on! Christmas parody)

I just finished up the first chapter of volume 12 of SAO, and in the second picture, you’ll see how it relates to what Calvin was saying in the first picture. I was an avid Calvin and Hobbes fan when I was a kid, so when I read the passage in SAO, it immediately reminded me of what Calvin said in this part of the comic strip all those years ago, and you can definitely see why! And in the SAO passage, you’ll begin to understand the effects when we as human beings do trying to be an island, and we finally get to embrace another human being after 200 long years!

With fall just around the corner, I figured that it’s time to release my fall schedule. You can see for yourself in the link to my website:

I have an announcement regarding my Vimeo account, which I’ve had for nine years. And while the account will still continue, it’ll be in a much more reduced capacity because I’m not renewing my paid subscription for it. I just can’t justify the expense, especially with the way the economy is and everything. What does that mean? Well, it will only let me keep the most recent 10 gigs worth of videos that I uploaded, after Tuesday when my subscription ends. Which means that all the videos that I uploaded up to a certain point will be taken off Vimeo. So my most recent uploads will still be on there, but all of the ones that I uploaded for the first few years will be gone.

The good news is is that I’ve started a new channel, which is a site where I don’t have to pay a subscription for it. It’s on Odysee and I have been uploading a bunch of my videos on there since fall. In fact, I may upload another video later today. So I just wanna thank all the people who supported my Vimeo channel over the years, and I’m sure that you can understand, with the cost and everything, that it was just not practical to keep up the subscription. But like I said, I have another channel on a new site that you can go to and more and more of my videos from Vimeo will be uploaded on there in the weeks and months to come.

Here’s the link to my Vimeo channel: https://vimeo.com/user54963120

For those of you who have seen my video about Momiji Fujimiya from Blue Seed, here is a version of it with subbed footage!

It’s the one year anniversary of me releasing my review of the Super Hxeros manga, and I realized that a lot of you may not be able to see it. So I included the pictures above to show you how to enable the feature that will allow you to see it. Just go to your web browser, and go to any page on Dailymotion and scroll all the way to the bottom. There, you’ll see a feature that says “hide sensitive content“ (yes, I know I know *eyeroll*) which is turned on by default. Just click on it, and it will turn that feature off, and then you should be able to see both versions of my review no problem! And just as an FYI, because of the nature of the series, both of them are NSFW, so be sure not to see it at work. I released one without spoilers, and one with, and the titles are labeled as such, so that’s why there’s two videos.

So for those who like the series, for those who like action series, or for those who just like a good ecchi series, then you’ll definitely like this review! Just remember, if you don’t want spoilers, then see the spoiler free version. If you don’t care about spoilers or you read the whole thing, then by all means see the one without, because I’m able to get more in depth with the series because of it. And of course, the links to each video are below. Anyways, I hope you enjoy:

I figured with all the negative posts about stuff I’ve seen, that I’ve been doing as of late, I figured it would be good that I posted about something positive. I mean, that negative stuff was still legitimately negative, but I wanted to change it up a bit.

A few days ago, I completed the 11th volume of the Sword Art Online light novel series. Between the breaks that I took, it took me forever to complete this, but it was well worth it, because we got some very valuable insight into the world of the underworld. Really looking forward to the 12th volume, and I think I should be able to start on that this weekend.

OK, I posted these photos from the Roshdere LN’s that I was reading to illustrate a point.  Now at this point, there were already several other times where it got totally ridiculous, as well as ultra toxic like this. Before a while, when I was saying to myself “one more incident like that, and I’m dropping the book series“, it really laid off. So I figured that the author would stop including moments like this. Unfortunately, I was wrong as this was in chapter 6 of the fourth light novel, in addition to their being a couple mild to moderate things like this earlier in the volume. And this was the straw that broke the camel’s back to get me to be like “that’s it! I’ve had enough of this.“ So now I’m dropping the light novel series. it’s a shame, because I really enjoyed the anime and a lot of of the parts of the light novel series were enjoyable, otherwise I wouldn’t have gotten this far in the first place.

When it gets to be THIS toxic, especially when it comes back around after not being so for a while, which makes you think that the author actually learned his lesson, you just have to get out of dodge. Life nowadays is already too stressful as it is, without sticking around putting up with this sort of garbage when you don’t have to.

And also another thing which makes me criticize the author for this, was his attitude during the afterwards in the light novels. He was writing in the afterwards themselves, something on the lines of that he knew that no one even bothers reading these things, and was implying that there shouldn’t be afterwards because of that. Well, first of all, he was putting words in my mouth, because I did, and I’m sure a lot of you guys do too. So not only that, I thought that it was extremely unprofessional, and combined with these sorts of scenes in the novels themselves, that unfortunately tells you just what you need to know about his character.

So yeah, I’m dropping it. And I may not be seeing the second season of the anime either, whenever that will be. I’m not 100% certain on that last part, considering the fact it was virtually none of this toxicity in the anime, so that’s why I’m undecided.
