Glad to hear that everyone is alright ❤️ This thumbnail cooks 🤣

Humanoïde

As you've probably read many times by now, it's okay to be late, but please post an update next time this happens to keep us informed.

Gabriel Cabral

I'm relieved to know everyone is fine.

Verols

While maybe one of the worse monogatari arcs which is still pretty high mark overall, just thinking about what it enables and laying stepping stones for in hindsight makes it pretty great in my eyes

wahoo_jpeg

Glad to know you guys are ok!

Baio Retto

Yeah, it's one of those arcs that you can only fully appreciate on a rewatch.

Verols

And with every subsequent relevant arc it only becomes better, like I thought it was over and then this season happened and now I think it will stop for sure but who knows

Nah I’d win

Can you guys explain as to why not one of you could’ve just given a two sentence update to your community?

Jasmine Tea Enjoyer

Ok but why the radio silence for an entire week? It would literally take 5 seconds to update us. I am hugely suspect of this reasoning.

Jasmine Tea Enjoyer

yeah man how dare you feel anxiety over two people you care about being non-responsive for over a week

Jasmine Tea Enjoyer

They obviously don't give a fuck about us. They don't even read the comments on any of there videos or patreon uploads, nor do they interact with there community in any significant way.

Aaron Griffin

don't be a whiny asshole, they owe us nothing.

Jasmine Tea Enjoyer

then why does every other reaction patreon I have ever been on do not behave like this? where they ignore there community and dont even update us for days giving everyone anxiety about what might be wrong. are you just dismissing the emotions of dozens of patrons in here? many people were geniunely sad and anxious thinking that something bad mightve happened.

Jasmine Tea Enjoyer

@DrWomanRespecter It makes literally zero sense to not update us for a week when something so innocuous and innocent was the cause. It would've taken Ben or Anna 15 seconds to type out that message and hit "Post". Saving hundreds of people from the anxiety that came with there sudden dissapereance.

Verols

It's funny reading unhinged people but everyone should probably stop engaging and replying to these people before this escalates into something unpleasant

Jasmine Tea Enjoyer

@Verols Everyone disagrees with you buddy. Go back to your comment thread on the upload everyone was commenting on. You got ratio'd by me and everyone else multiple times. You are the unhinged one. Come back down to reality brother.

Kochen51

They say the best Monogatari character is always the one who's on screen at the moment lol. Great that Anna is back safe

Higu Art

It is true that giving an update wouldn't have taken more than 10 minutes for them and Is not like something was preventing them to do that

DrWomanRespecter

So you...proceed to speculate about what happened...? Please go outside

Higu Art

" Anna's flight back home had been cancelled and she ended up staying in Europe longer than expected" there's no speculation, this is literally the reason they gave for the lack of uploads

sunshine

absolutely loved how much you guys appreciated kanbaru araragi dynamic, aside from being super entertaining morons together, it's heartwarming to see them already care so much about one another, kanbaru especially, they've come a long way from the last arc.

Jaron Clark

Comments like this are precisely why they chose that route. Not everyone can take the constant hate for every little thing they do wrong.

sunshine

the intrumental versions of the ops are great, as with the whole ost, also love how there're many different renditions of a single op, renai in particular one time's a sentimental music box, other times upbeat or serene melodies, my fav tho gotta be the dying bird track at the start of the last nise ep along with shinobu's narration, like you said, they elevate the emotions in the scenes so much, beautiful touch.

Kano Misogi

The discussion makes me really hope they do Kizumonogatari after this season.

sunshine

I really understand where you're coming from, but hey at least they did tell us why afterwards, so don't hold it against them. also some of the comments, no need for aggression, grow the hell up.

sunshine

fr, first time around ig i was let down that nadeko was barely explored compared to all the other characters in their arcs, even hanekawa who didn't get hers yet was very fleshed out in comparison, but after knowing what sort of person she was deep down later on, it kinda makes sense narratively, even if she was given more time with araragi and kanbaru, it wouldn't have amounted to much, being as closed off as she is.

sunshine

there could be spoilers in the comments, wouldn't wanna risk it if i was in their place, letting alone the toxic people, try to dm them about this ig, i don't think you're wrong in feeling the way you feel.

Dale Tucker

I feel like some folks here need to chill a little. Or open up a petition on change.org

Leonardo Penazzi

Please tell me they'll watch kizu After Baker...

Ecodude

Personally I understand the reason for the delay and is nice to hear that they are ok but wanting a simple and short update it's not unreasonable to ask for. Some people are kinda mad because this is a recurring thing. Should them just stay quiet and not say anything about the lack of updates just because they posted videos like nothing happened? ok then...

Zipzip

We ahve been over this. they are watching correct order. Please sit back and enjoy.

Zipzip

We have been over this. they are watching correct order with MTBB. Please sit back and enjoy.

Humanoïde

@Jaron Clark What hate? I'm just politely asking for some basic accountability, that's hardly cyberbullying...

Kano Misogi

Sorry, but don't know what MTBB is. Will that be in air date or light novel order? Only real difference between them though is where kizu is, as the movie kept getting delayed when it was originally supposed to come out after bake.

Onemangang2059

While everyone in the comments eats each other alive we move forward to an arc where we get a culmination of every arc previous and in line with the discussion the yearning for Kizu grows

Noblue

They're talking about Jasmine, since they have been having a bit of a meltdown in the comments

Arakis

Well, if self-sacrificing and selfless to the point of hurting themselves protagonists are your forte then, oh boy, do I have a show suggestion for you......

Jasmine Tea Enjoyer

@Jaron Clark I'm completely unaware of there being "comments like this" before the recent dissapereance. In fact, this community from what I have seen is nothing but supportive and kind to Ben and Anna, maybe even to a fault.

Jasmine Tea Enjoyer

@Noblue No meltdown. Every comment I've made is perfectly logical and sensible.

Wanderer

They'll be doing the LN order. Next after this is Kizu for them

Kano Misogi

Thank you for clearing that up o/

Humanoïde

@Noblue Oh yeah, you're right, I didn't notice. Sorry Jaron!

Noctislolig

I get what you're saying but I think getting "anxiety" because a channel you like didn't upload is very unhealthy.

Arakis

Yea, brotherman, you know it!

Jasmine Tea Enjoyer

I agree. I didn't really get anxious at all cause I knew they were fine cause they disapear like this all the time. Read all the other comments though on that one upload, dozens and dozens of people expressing there worry and anxiety.

ElectricAnt

I guess we don’t owe them money then

KenthalasAT

I have to say, I love this series the most of all and it came about because I started learning Japanese. When you actually speak Japanese, the puns and jokes in this series are way better.

Joshua Ford

Glad you got home safe! Also, I loved the happy dance when you recognized the ending theme to this arc! I’m really pleased to see you both watching this. It is something special.

Joshua Ford

Who would interact with a community that talks to them and about them like what was in the last episode’s comment section anymore than necessary? Everyone here signed up to give them some cash to help make the channel more viable long term. We didn’t sign an agreement to get x amount of engagement or videos each week. We are contributing to people making content we enjoy. If you feel ill used because they didn’t tell us about a health issue or travel issue until after the real life problem was resolved and they had a rest, you should probably rethink your subscription as you appear to be operating under a misunderstanding of what you are paying for. Could someone have said something sooner? Sure, but that isn’t something anyone here is owed. We get whatever the tier you are paying for is promised and that is what we have all been provided. If people are in a financial state where their sub is a source of emotional hardship if a video isn’t released right on time, they should not be subscribing. This isn’t intended to be something people throw money that they otherwise need at. Similarly people who no longer feel it is a good value proposition should leave also, not because they are right or wrong but because that would be the rational thing to do and best for their own sanity. I increased my tier after the last episode and am perfectly happy to leave it there because I want to follow along with the full reactions while streaming the episodes. Last episode was a great watch given their reactions to what happened at the shrine and the music and the rest of it. The comments last episode though were just toxic with entitled whining and angry people mad they aren’t uploading at the expected cadence. Nobody truly concerned for another person someone would keep going like that chat did. People concerned for someone would leave well wishes and let the other party deal with whatever is going down in their life that is interfering with this side project to their real life instead of harping away at the lack of an update. It showed an unhinged lack of basic empathy and a sense of entitlement way out of proportion to anything anyone has done to be in this Patreon audience. It was disgusting to see.

Humanoïde

@Joshua Ford Okay... So, I did see the comment section you are talking about and I agree that some of the comments were indeed toxic and rude. I don't support that and I firmly oppose online harassment, that's why I have been very careful with my wording and that is also why your comment, that put mine on the same level, really irritate me. Sure, online harassment is bad, but can't you see the difference between that and good faith criticism? Regarding what you say about Patreon and entitlment, I don't consider myself a "customer" and I agree that, to some extent, I can just unsubscribe if I'm unsatisfied. But that doesn't mean they have no responsibility in the way they handle their business. First of all, they are the one who announced a schedule, at which point, even if I wasn't paying anything, I would have the expectation that they try to follow it. Nobody forced them to do that, I would have been okay without it, but they decided to create this expectation. At this point, they were making a promise to the people who were paying that they would deliver something and they didn't. I don't think that's a terrible crime, but you can't say they did nothing wrong there. But as I already said, I don't really care about them being late. The issue is with the lack of communication. Even if we assume we are not owed ANYTHING, disappearing for a week without any update is unacceptable in any social situation, even between friends. And while I agree that it's not super important and that I wasn't losing sleep over this, it's still something that should be addressed, if only because the climate of annyance and toxicity you complain about directly commes from that. If, 4 days ago, they had posted a short message simply saying "Hey, Anna is stuck in Europe, we won't be able to upload for a few days." you wouldn't have seen anyone complain. So, even if according to you the issue comes from people being annoyed, it is something they could and should address. Only blaming the comments doesn't solve the issue, it doesn't help anyone. I'm not angry at Anna and Ben, I don't wish them any ill, but I noticed an issue in the way they handle their business and I would like to warn them about it. As long as I do it politely and without harassment, I don't think there is anything wrong with that. And if you disagree with that statement, honestly, I don't care.
