Thank You (Patreon)

We got an Exit Survey Message today that, while wildly inaccurate and seemed to be aimed at an alternate reality version of this channel, reminded me that we don't thank you guys nearly enough.

Your support as Patrons means the world to us. A year ago I was worried that I'd have to give up working on our content in September of 2017, since we like in an expensive city. I'd left other work opportunities behind to take a gamble on the channel and dedicated myself to working on it full-time, though I tried to keep that to myself. If things hadn't panned out by the renewal of our lease in September, I would have had to stop and find another source of income.

Yet here we are. With all of you helping, the channel is still producing and has even moved into looking at producing original content. We're in a better position we've ever been in for content. We're even close to getting Aaron Robert Parnell(co-writer and the more talented half of the operation) out of his job at Starbucks and on with us full-time. Not a day goes by where I don't feel thankful for it(and where I don't dread the bubble bursting).

I know that a lot of your guys are here for one particular thing. There are those of you who only want Bleach, only want Fate or only want Digimon. Many of you also don't care for our D&d streams(which, mind you, are done effectively on our days off and don't interfere with work). That you stay around despite that is generous of you, and I promise that unless we explicitly say so we've not abandoned any project. We're just trying to get through the rotation so nothing is left out.

I also know we don't produce as many episodes as we used to, in terms of quantity. At one point we were producing 2 Bleach episodes and 1 Digimon episode a month, and I worry that some people might wonder what happened to that. Effectively, we've started making our episodes twice as long to get the same amount of content into single episodes. This has been a counter-measure to avoid copyright hell; if we release the same amount of content in one video, then we face one copyright strike as opposed to multiple, and each takes about 3 weeks to resolve on average.

Digimon and Bleach are also minefields when it comes to copyright, so we have to be careful about how we work and what we release.

I don't think I have much more to say, except again; thank you. We're doing out best to get more content out(but safely). Every one of you, regardless of involvement or donation amount, is part of a net that lets us safely produce this content during uncertain times.
