An Update (Patreon)

Hey there, folks! Just wanted to give an update on what's going on with YouTube stuff.

Right now, regular life stuff has been quite busy. Namely, school and studying has been taking up a lot of time, such that I don't have all that much time to dedicate to YouTube. However, I am still working on stuff, even if it is taking longer than I would like. Right now, I'm focusing most of my efforts on finishing up with season 1 of Young Justice and then I will move on to part 6 of the FMA series. 

With the FMA series, I do have some progress updates actually. Part 6 will likely be the last part to largely be a redo. After that, new material will become the focus, and what content I've already covered will be discussed in different ways. In preparation for that, just last week I finished making my character map for FMA: Brotherhood and FMA 2003. Basically, the character map involved rewatching both series completely, marking down where each character appears, rating the relevance of each appearance, and writing plot summaries of what the most important events are (in general and for specific characters). This will make it easier for me to compare characters once I branch into character analyses, since I will know exactly where each character appears and what happens during each character's appearance. Plus, it ensured that I have a clearer picture of both shows by watching them back-to-back over the course of about one and half weeks, while being sure to carefully pay attention to the Japanese subtitles, and while marking down what caught my attention or what I'd like to discuss. Overall, I have a much clearer picture of where I'm taking things, and I'm excited to really focus on it now that I've got myself largely organized.

As far as general things go, I had made a little update at the end of my latest Avatar section, where I mentioned some changes I'd be making with my video series going forward. The main one of those is that I will no longer be starting series that I do not have scripts completed for, as I will then be able to give a definitive schedule (barring copyright issues, of course). Of course, it's too late to do that with the ATLA, FMA, and Young Justice series--but that's just something I wanted to mention for the channel going forward. I often tend to overestimate what I'll be able to get done in a given span of time. That's something I've only discovered through this and I will be changing things in the future to accommodate for that.

Anyway, I apologize for the lack of communication on here and other social media platforms. While I have been avoiding Twitter and Youtube to eliminate distractions while studying, I should have taken the time to update you on here last week. As always, thank you for your patience and support, and I look forward to being back in full-force on Youtube :)
