Thanks for an amazing August/plans for September (Patreon)

Trying a new update post format for each month, let me know what you all think:
Hello everyone and thank you for an amazing August!! This month we had our 2 year anniversary as a channel, and we also had our second highest number of patrons in a month with 3521, you all are AMAZING!
Patreon is the most essential reason Montana and I are able to do what we do as creators, and getting to delve into these shows you all love so much gives us immense joy. Most reaction channels have to just watch the episode nonstop to be able to post a shorter video on YouTube and get more views, but because of you all Montana and I get to do what we do with literally every show we have watched over the course of our five year relationship, which is pause every so often and discuss the deeper themes, and have a moment after each episode to unpack how we feel.
Its incredible to be able to create videos knowing I can be fully free creatively and not have to worry about watching what's popular at any given moment, but instead take time to slowly analyze shows that you all deem as masterpieces in some way or another. What we end up with at the end of the series we watch is a robust analysis of nearly every component of the show, almost like one long video essay, and that is thanks to you all!
On another note, the emotional support at times when Montana or I need time for our mental health's is essential to our well being. To be real, there are times when Montana is so anxious that she simply cannot film episodes, and then there are days where we knock out a ton of episodes, with no rhyme or reason as to what day will happen next.
This is why we don't have a set schedule, but thanks to you all being so understanding of this, the great thing that's happening is that Montana is feeling better than she ever has before, and we are starting to film more and more! Thanks to to you all, we get to do what we love to do while feeling well mentally, and we are forever grateful for that!
Ok, sappy speech over, here are the plans for September!
Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood:
We will be dropping episodes 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, & 35, if not more! I will keep you all posted as to when those will come out, but I have a feeling its about to be WILD!
Arcane:
We will be posting the rest of Arcane as soon as humanly possible! Episode 7 will be coming out tomorrow, and I expect both of the other episodes to be out be the end of the week/early next week.
Demon Slayer:
Ok, so here is the thing. Demon Slayer is our first attempt at doing a third series, and honestly it is more difficult that I previously thought, mainly because Arcane episodes take an hour and a half to film each, and we are planning a wedding right now. I want to be absolutely transparent with you all and let you know that we will most likely not be dropping a ton of Demon Slayer episodes moving forward. We tried our best, but its simply a workload issue right now. The show is great, but we just have a ton going on right now and a show that fully can't be posted to youtube has to be low on our priority list for now sadly. I will let you all know if anything changes, but the plan for now is to watch whenever we can and post the episodes as soon as we're done watching them. I think we could watch episodes 9 and 10, and will let you know when we do!
To those of you that really love Demon Slayer, I know this is not ideal, but I don't want to fully give up on the series because its so good! Just keep in mind it is the 3rd priority out of our shows for now, thanks for your understanding!
After Arcane Shows: Beginning of Phase 4 of Letts React
We will also be watching the first episode of Dragon Prince, Owl House, Young Justice (ep 2), and Star Wars: the Clone Wars (not sure which episode that will be but will keep you all posted!).
The plan is to post our reaction of the first episode of each of these series to YouTube for 4 weeks, then after those weeks we will decide which series we want to watch next! This will be based on the same stats as phase I, II, and III of Letts React, weighing youtube views and engagement as well as which shows you all vote for in polls. Hope you all are excited!
Invincible:
I'm a little wary of invincible for now because I've heard copyright is hard for youtube, and honestly as good as Arcane is editing an hour and a half of footage is DRAINING, but I was thinking of maybe solo reacting to it first to scout it out for Montana, that way I can let her know what moments not to watch, and I could post it as a solo series here! Let me know what you all think!
These are the plans for next month, and I could not be more excited to get to work on editing it all. Thanks for 2 years of supporting our channel, and here's to another great month!
Best,
Kenny
