I've had an up and down past few days with the dizziness and being light headed. I'm trying to get some thing edited for y'all (original Mad Max movie, like 6 or 7 chainsaw man reactions) as well as for the channel. My goal for the rest of this week is to finish editing what I have and want to put on the channel such as the movie Ghost in the Shell, the rest of the Band of Brothers, all the Chainsaw Man and Solo Leveling content I currently have, and start recording for yall in here and start the road map I have content wise for the channel since I'll have a few weeks worth of content with just the anime and Band of Brothers along with the 2 movies.
I do have a road map for the channel of what I want to put out going forward. I've got to edit what I have Inbetweeners wise so that it can get up on Youtube. I want to put it all up on there along with the movies for that series. After I finish that series I'm going to start going through It Ain't Half Hot Mum again for the Channel.
Movies wise for the next month on the channel I'll be going through the Mad Max saga, Bone Tomahawk, and Battle of Britain. For Patreon I'm going to add Lawrence of Arabia and at least one of the Carry On movies ( I have 2 different collections of those movies).
For Youtube once, I have Band of Brothers fully scheduled out I'm going to start recording for Breaking Bad. I want to have a season of that not only recorded and up in here before the first episode releases to youtube but I want to ensure ya'll have a good month or so head start and we are into the 2nd season for it.
On the anime side of things, Solo Leveling and Chainsaw Man are both at the moment, at 1 season a piece. I will be recording more of Dragonball but I want to ensure that I have all of Solo Leveling up before I put more of that on youtube. So y'all will have quite the head start on that as well. Dragonball will take the place of Solo Leveling once it's fully up. For Chainsaw Man, once it's finished I'm going to record a review of the first season of Jujutsu Kaisen for y'all since I've seen the first season but I did that while it was still going and that was back in 2020. I'm also going to record a reaction the movie for it and look at season 2. I have a plan for after I'm finished with Jujutsu Kaisen to start alternating episodes on Youtube of reactions to One Piece and Full Metal Alchemist but that's further down the line at this point. In addition to a review of Jujutsu Kaisen season 1 I will be doing a review/ introduction to the anime Eden of the East series and movies. These will be exclusive to y'all. It is to this day one of the best pieces of entertainment regardless of medium.
Yes, I know I'm introducing and planning to do a lot of anime reactions but, I really enjoy it and making it a priority since I missed the whole anime wave till my late 20s, apologies lmao.
Outside of all of that, having a little over a month of content that I just have to get edited out, even with what I have planned, in the next 2 weeks I want to finish Porridge and League of Gentlemen. I've dragged every series out for far too long. I think I should've road mapped things a long time ago instead of doing everything by the seat of my pants. That works until it doesn't anymore. This gives me structure, like an actual 9-5 with clear goals. After League of Gentlemen and Porridge, I'll put up a poll. I have instant access whether through on hand collections or brit box subscription to a wide range of shows to look at. It will take us some time still to get through Doctor Who (modern and I think then we're going to go back through the classic) and Only Fools and Horses but replacing 2 of the current shows once their finished with 2 separate shows I'm interested to see what direction folks want to go.
I will have a poll up in the next day or two for folks that have joined because of the movies and shows outside of the UK content I started with to add another show that will exclusively be due to their joining.
I'll also be doing a poll on the pricing. I've wanted to do simply the 2 dollar tier but... Even when I make pronouncements to move down, too many either stay at the 4 dollar level and I don't want to just end it and they come back and have to repay to rejoin. That said IF a solution is found for perks via a poll, the music (which I don't do enough) and the anime will still have their separate pricing since the people that join those tiers don't have access to any content not meant for those tiers. Maybe the 4 dollar will include the latter 2 and the 2 dollar loses access, not sure yet but, I want to make sure if you join, you feel via the early access and the exclusive content you are getting your moneys worth.
Finally, I do appreciate everyone's support. I don't think I've ever come up with a comprehensive content plan since I stopped reviewing EV announcements with a look at their specs and the building the vehicle out on the respective websites to see price points and spec changes. Between editing The Inbetweeners for youtube (even in a way that most will hate on youtube lol), the rest of the Band of Brothers as well as the movies and anime shows, I'll have the time to get other stuff accomplished, whether it be around my house or content. I've gone so long of just recording the shows, editing for Patreon and then recording other stuff for youtube and putting off editing the larger stuff for youtube that I probably should've gone this route a long time ago.
I KNOW.... For those that follow me on youtube, youtube content wise, this is definitely going to be a transition period. However I think I've done no fewer than 10 I'm going to change content videos on youtube in the last 2 years just due to how unsatisfied I was with doing what felt like the same thing on repeat and felt like none of the content really fit what I wanted to do anymore as a content creator. I know there are a ton of movie/ anime/ tv show channels on youtube. However it's either anime only or they do trailers, movie and tv show only. I want to be a one stop shop for the content since anime is on tv and streaming networks now. I love learning about new cultures, and history but after 5 years, I'm past the point of wanting to look at stuff that I feel do to my upbringing and life experiences, I missed out on.
My experience of creating content has been such a wild ride and I've made numerous mistakes while doing it. My first channel went from 300 subscribers to over 2k in a weeks time frame, and I shifted gears so completely that I had to start what is now The Eclectic Beard just to continue doing reactions. The Eclectic Beard channel went from 1300 subs to 10k subs within a month and then grew to 30k and then to 70k all within a 4 month time span. The exponential growth that happened at the height of the pandemic, you don't know how to scale when growth like that happens and I know I tried doing way to many things all at once that should've been planned out like I'm trying to do now. As I'm trying to do a bit of course correction, I'll start being in my different discord servers way more often. That's an aspect of doing this that I truly miss and regret that I stepped back from due to the feeling of being completely and utterly overwhelmed. Live actionable interaction with my community.
While the circumstances for me having to return to this full time aren't ideal, this go around I promise not only on here to be more present but to ensure that what you've signed up for when you decided to pay monthly for content, that I try to over deliver.
