Hello yet again!

I'm back on here already because I hadn't had the chance to make this post sooner. I recently posted the first new piece of fanfiction I've written since starting this Patreon, and I wanted to share it here, too.

I'm aware very few if any of you here read my fanfictio...

A Guide to Higurashi's Bonus Arcs

Good evening everyone!

I am delighted to finally present you with A Guide to Higurashi's Bonus Arcs, yet another stupidly long video from yours truly.

I can't believe it's finally done! I think it's fair to say this ended up being a much bigger project than I anticipa...

March Updates

Hi everyone!

I hope you're all keeping well. I'm excited winter is coming to an end in this part of the world and that the pandemic situation seems to be slowly but steadily improving (isn't that still such a strange thing to be saying?). It's a little too early to get excited but things fe...

February Updates

Hello once again!
How’s everyone doing? I just wrapped up teaching for my first semester of my Master’s the other day (how time flies) and have no lectures for two whole months which I’m delighted about. I'm still busy with assignments and my major research project, but my schedule will ...

VA-11 HALL-A: Acceptance, Not Submission

Today I’m excited to share VA-11 HALL-A: Acceptance, Not Submission, my first video of 2021, and the first work I've covered voted for by you guys!

By some miracle, I actually manage to hit my runtime goal for maybe the first time ever, though it was looking sticky for a ...

And the Winner Is...

Just a quick post to say the poll closed a little earlier and you guys have voted for me to make my first video of 2021 on... the visual novel VA-11 HALL-A! Again, don't worry if your pick lost, the other two videos will definitely be coming sooner rather than later.

This s...

A Look Back: Why Mion Sonozaki is My Favourite Character (Podcast)

Ha! You thought I was done! Nope, here’s a third post for you: as promised, a retrospective.

I ended up deciding not to do this as a singular post and thought it would make more sense to have a casual chat about one video at a time as a monthly podcast, starting from reflecting on my firs...

Video Poll #1

I plan to make all three of these videos likely at some point this year, so don’t worry if your pick loses!

Mamoru Hosoda needs no introduction, famous for his work directing films like The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, Summer Wars ...

2021 Plans

Happy New Year, hello and welcome to everyone who’s joined the Patreon since the last video! I hope you all had a great holiday season and are looking forward to what is hopefully a much better year than 2020.

First off, I wanted to thank you all one last time for your support throughout ...

How Higurashi Scares Us

It’s finally here! Thank you so much for your patience and support throughout the process of making this absolute mammoth of a video, it really has made all the difference. I’m going to keep this post relatively short: it’s far easier to be objective about a video when I’m not right off t...

Video Preview

Hi guys! Just a quick post to share a little(?) working preview of the upcoming video! The final upload date remains a nebulous “December”, but I’m pretty happy with my progress considering how busy I’ve been. I’m on track to upload next week but I foresee my WiFi giving me issues. In t...

November Updates

Hi everyone! I hope you're all well. Another month has almost completely whizzed by, so it's also time for another updates post.

Life has been very quiet for me this past month, so I'm not sure where the time has gone. England is in national lockdown and I live alone, but luckily I've been ...

Introduction and Plans

Hi!

If you're reading this, it means you've generously decided to support the channel through pledging on here. Thank you so much--I really don't take it for granted! I'd use this as an opportunity to tell you a bit more about myself, but frankly I ended up doing more of that on the actual ...
