Update Blog - 2/5/22 (Patreon)

First of all, thank you all for last week with the well wishes for my health. With that said, I'm happy to report that I'm 100% all better. I went to see the doctor at the perfect time and they prescribed me antibiotics that were a huge help in deflating my tonsils. I can guarantee that this will be the last time this will happen because I'm going to have them removed sometime this year. Anyways, now with my health back, I was able to get back to work on some new videos. 

- Released my review of The Ice Age Adventures of Buck Wild: Other than Hotel Transylvania: Tranformania, this was the other animated feature that I was dreading, especially when this is suppose to be a spin-off starring Buck, Crash & Eddie. After making that Top 10 Ice Age video a while back where I put the possums as the #1 worst, I knew I had to make something a little more special with this review, which is where I got the idea of a Disney representative presenting me this movie before the review would start. As for how this movie ultimately turned out, no surprise that this is terrible, but I wasn't oppose to the idea of a Buck Wild spin-off. If this were just about Buck Wild and his adventures in the Lost World and have no other connection to the Ice Age franchise, even don't have any of the other characters appear, then this might've had a shot to be worthwhile. But ultimately, that's too good to be true because we gotta have Crash & Eddie's unfunny shenanigans to ruin everything the same way Johnny ruined the Hotel Transylvania franchise. The one positive thing to say is that now that we went through two unnecessary and horrible sequels, it can only go up from here for animated films.

- Working on an upcoming AniMat's Classic Reviews: While I had some other appointments I had to attend throughout the week, the most that I was able to work on was an upcoming review for ACR. This is actually one of those cases where I got pretty lucky to pick this one out of the Animation Hat because this would be in the category of a fan favorite. It's also one where it's going to be big with a lot to say about this one, but I think fans will definitely appreciate this review coming up. Even for me, this is something I haven't seen in a long time and by doing so, brings back some old memories of watching certain moments of the film, so this was also a bit of a nostalgic trip for me. As you're reading this, I should be almost done with this review where I may need a little more editing and a few revisions, but this will be one that is worth keeping an eye out for ;)

- Watching episodes for the next Series Review: While in the middle of working and doing errands in my personal life, I was also watching episodes for an upcoming review. I will admit that I'm a little bit worried with this one. Not because of the content that they do present or that I'll have an unpopular opinion, but because this is an anime. In case you haven't heard, Japanese companies are going after YouTubers hard because of how they're breaking Japanese copyright laws (which are Draconian, even by YouTube's standards). Especially when this is a more recognized anime, I'm a little scared if they'll be coming after me for this. I'll see what I can do to make sure my content will be safe and that I'll still have this review done, but the current climate for anime-based YouTubers is terrifying and this may have some dark consequences for people like me  if things don't get better. Either way, I'm almost done watching the whole series and should get started soon after I complete the ACR project I'm working on now.

So that's been my week of working and I'll admit that it feels great to be back to being myself. I'm getting some content out and even finding myself in some viral territory (who knew that one little clip of a upcoming crappy Pinocchio movie would become the biggest tweet I've put out yet?), I think it's safe to say that I got a good thing going and I'll keep the momentum up. So, until next time...

See ya later, dudes!
