End of August Update Post! + Previews (Patreon)

Hi everyone,

Happy end of August!

To start, thank you so much for the wonderful reception to the Sakamoto Days project! I wasn't sure how a shorter project might be received in the middle of these longer ones, so I'm very happy people seemed to enjoy this one as well! Aoi and Taro are just such a nice pair!

As for the August previews:

The first and fourth previews are for the Frieren project.

The second preview is for the One Piece project.

The third preview is for the short High School DxD sequel project.

The fifth and sixth previews are for the Maple-chan project.

The shorter Kaiju No. 8 project is the next release, and it's looking very likely to come out before the end of September! At this point, it's really just in the final compositing, audio, and editing stages. This is another project that's been a long time coming, so I'm very excited for everyone to finally see how it turns out!

Frieren, Maple-chan, One Piece, the shorter High School DxD sequel, and the Bleach project are all continuing production. Frieren now has almost all of its final color work done, and after the Kaiju No. 8 project releases, I'll be able to start compositing it. Maple-chan is still looking like the next release after Frieren, and it's looking just as good!

The only adjustment to the schedule is that it's now looking like the shorter DxD sequel will come out before One Piece. One Piece has also started getting shots colored, which has been personally exciting since, like Bleach, these are characters I've followed for a long time, so seeing these nostalgic color palettes come together has been really fun! Speaking of Bleach, the animation is currently in production and is planned to come out early next year, after the One Piece project. Hopefully, I'll be able to start sharing previews for Bleach sometime around October!

Aside from these animated videos, there are still a few extra things I've continued working on, and hopefully I'll be able to talk about them more in the coming months. I'll also have to start planning how and when I want to do the next poll so we can keep building an exciting lineup of animations for next year!

I’m incredibly grateful to everyone who continues to follow and support my work. Your enthusiasm gives me the opportunity to keep creating, and I can’t wait to share everything I've been working on with you!

As always, you all have my utmost gratitude for the passion and enthusiasm you show toward this work. It's so much fun to create for an audience like this, and I'm constantly taken aback by the kind words people have for this Patreon. I'll keep doing my best to live up to them!

Have a great September, everyone! 🍁
