Update #3: If you are in the $5 Tier for Steins;Gate or Noragami and your payment for October was processed, please switch to the Degenerate tier for tomorrow the poll will be opening for the next series/movie picks.

Hello everyone, Popo here. There will be some major changes come for Patreon in October and moving forward. As people may have noticed, we've been catching up to all of the anime we had backlogged for so long and we apologize for lateness. With that said, we have a few more series left to finish within the next few weeks such as The Irregular at Magic High School, Noragami Season 2, Gate Season 2, Miss Caretaker Sunohara eps 3-12 and Grand Blue 3-12. 

We have realized that this was a near impossible task to keep up as part-time creators as well as the higher tiers we took away for request reactions. 

We decided it was best to end the $20, $50 and $200 tiers as it wasn't fair to those who had to wait forever and for us who were overwhelm when our channels kept getting taken down by YouTube. That recovery has taken nearly all year but we have begun to stabilize. With that said, we have Updated our Patreon Goals to incorporate goals for switching all videos from Google Drive to Vimeo (we know yall hate Google Drive, we do too), a goal for hiring a part-time and eventually a full-time editor to assist in all areas of content not just reactions and finally a goal at where both Jouten and I could reliably achieve Operation GOTH by paying a full time editor and going full time with all forms of content creation.

You guys can probably see it in our unedited reactions but for a lot of them we aren't at full optimal level but at the same time we want to stick to our obligation and promises we made when we made the tiers for the seasonal rotations. The seasonal rotations will be changing and our tier format will be changing completely from October/November and moving forward. 

Starting today, there will be only 3 tiers; a $1, $5 and $10. No more multiple sponsorship tier. If you are in an unpublished tier, you can switch your tier and pledge amount to the newer tiers. For a breakdown of how the new tiers will run here is the following

Patron Voted Series/Movies will be early access for those in the $5 and $10 tiers. (What happened to 3 a season?) It will now be 1 series and 1 movie a month and only those in the $5 and $10 tiers can vote as they get Early Access. If you read this entire post, please like this post to let us know you read it.

You'll notice that we've finally added movies as it was highly requested but we just didn't have the time to manage them with our backlog. However you will also notice the Popo & Jouten Picks for everyone. This will give us the flexibility to watch series you guys recommend to us as well as series we both might be interested in or a series that 1 of us has not watched. For instance, we can go back and watch all of Konosuba, My Bride as a Mermaid, finish Blood Blockade, check out patreon series that weren't completely sponsored, the main thing is it will be done at our own pace that everyone can enjoy. Jouten and I would alternate between our series picks but they will not conflict with the monthly voted movie or series. The Monthly voted series/movie will have priority in our filming but it will be much more manageable. We would increase the number voted series as we meet our goals but the number 1 thing is to make sure we can manage everything and improve the overall quality of patreon videos.

The monthly polls will take place on October 2nd and will last until the 7th for the series and anime movie for those in the $5 tier. We will update this post each time including when the new tiers have been updated.
