So this time we’re talking about “Chi no Wadachi” or “A Trail of Blood” (Also known as “Blood on the Tracks”). I started reading this manga about two years ago, and it really turned my blood cold, and I thought for a long time about how to tackle it in a video, and well, today's the result.

I was pretty happy with the response to my last video on Outlaw Star, but if I'm going to be honest, there were parts of the process  that I didn't feel too excited, just because there were sections I'd felt like Id done a lot before, and it wasn't really a challenge. I still think it's an ok video, but I came out of it hungry to do something weirder. 

This video was the total opposite of that, its a weird subject matter in a difficult to edit media, and so it really took a lot of time and effort to shape the video into what I wanted, but because of that it was really fun to work on, even though it was pretty stressful.

Looking back at a video now (especially this second, where I'm watching it upload) is always kind of nerve racking, there's always little parts of a video you wish you could tighten up or redo, but I know that that's also a road to madness, a video never really feels 100% done, but at some point I think the healthiest option is to accept that this is your current limit, and its best to move on to what ever comes next.

That said, I'm pretty happy with this one, feels like one of those videos where I really gave it everything I had, and I really hope people can feel that from it.

I'm going to be taking the next week off, I've been working straight since the beginning of the year, and while the channels been doing really well, and im happy with my output, I can feel the early stages of burn out setting in, and I think I kind of need to make a health call and just rest up for a bit. That said, it shouldn’t actually effect my schedule too much, and the next video should be dropping in around three weeks. 

Anyway, guys, i am rambling yet again, I really hope you enjoy the video and thanks again for the continued support <3
