Hello everyone. Again I wanted to apologize for not posting lately. This entire situation is really stressing me out. I needed to take a few days off to think and find things to relax because I just can’t sit down and enjoy watching anime when all of this drama is going on.

But next post I will return. Like I said I will be trying out the timer with specific animes, but some animes like Grand Blue and Prison school Konosuba will go on like the usual I will just take extra pauses and give more reviews to the shows I am watching. Fairy tail I am unsure because it is owned by TV Tokyo ( and ever since the drama I did get one video on YT blocked of a Fairy Tail reaction) but I think I have some good options for that one that will work out for desktop and mobile users.

But I will work on giving more reviews in between and after each episode. More edits/etc. If it turns out that most companies will not care than things probably can go back to the way that they were but nobody knows yet what will happen. Better to not risk it and assume everything is okay.

I know a lot of people jumped to timers, and a lot are pretending like nothing will happen by not changing anything.. But I think it is important to keep in mind “fair use” and trying to make the reaction more transformative and not make it about watching the anime but about watching the reactor and that being the reason why you are there to watch.

It will be a couple more days before I post reactions again. I just really need some mental days to get rid of this stress and anxiety built up.

Sorry guys I really want to get back into the shows but I just have been feeling so defeated by all of this lately. Trying to fix that and will return! <3

It’s great that you are tying to be as responsible for your post as possible so good luck and try not to let the stress get to you

What did you figure out for mobile users? I assumed it was a lost cause because there wasn’t any solution I could find because of software limits.

Check out how Jennanime does it on YouTube. She puts a timer over the little screen but also lets you see the subtitles.

No offense, but can you give me a list of people that you’ve seen were affected by this recently (not including the obvious of course) I am subscribed here on Patreon to quite a few people (including groups) that do full reactions and continue to do so without any issues whatsoever.

Hang in there, we're behind you no matter what!

Some people do a clever trick: they play the episodes on a TV and leave it in the background of the video while watching the episode at the same time on a computer

Glad you’re taking my review advice. I’m sure everything will work out. But if you’re ever feeling stressed, check out make-everything-ok.com. Always helps me.

Well see the thing is. All we know is companies were contacted by the Voice Actress so that much had been confirmed. We don’t know what kind of action they will take. So some people think nothing will happen and others are just trying to be prepared in case something bad does happen.

I thought, maybe I’m wrong, but I thought, this is only about patreon, not YouTube. First of all, toei or other anime production companies won’t able to see your content unless they become a patreon member. So technically they don’t know whether your patreon posts contain full anime or just timer. So unless Patreon themselves give those companies some kind of access, which I think it’s very unlikely, toei or others wouldn’t know what’s in your patreon videos, they can only see your title it’s anime reaction or review. So since the third party companies won’t able see your content, only patreon will give you troubles in terms of copyright stuff. But again, unless they really want to get rid of all the reactors and all their react videos, they will have to go to each single post and see if you just put a timer or edited version or full anime. And again I don’t think patreon staffs would have enough time, energy and people to do that. So all in all I believe unless patreon decided to clean out all anime reactors and all their video, things on patreon should be fine. This is not like YouTube, people other than patreon have to pay in order to see what exactly you are posting every time

Xander Phoenix

I completely respect and am glad you are taking well-needed rest. As someone who struggles with mental health, it's good to see healthy breaks in stressful workloads. However, as someone who does not know a whole lot of the situation aside from your posts, what does that do to your already existing material? What is to stop someone finding every TV Tokyo reaction made prior to the change since they are all viewable?

Anonymous

Take a break don’t rush until you’re ready, no point doing reactions if your not comfortable or in the right mood set, hopefully things turn up right for, me and my GF wish you the best :)

just take a year break we dont need anything.

SonicKing2004

Feel free to take the time you need to decompress and come back fresh and energized. On a related note, while One Piece is on a hiatus you might consider something to fill the void and raise your spirits. I would recommend Ascendance of a Bookworm and/or resuming That Time I Was Reincarnated as a Slime. Not only are they both animes that I fully enjoy, but also other reactors/reviewers on YouTube seem to really like them both as well. I'm certain that they both will be right up your alley.

John S

Really you should listen to what some people are saying and not be so reactionary. Patreon will supposedly give you AT LEAST 1 warning before actually doing anything, so before you make these changes you should at least wait to see if that warning actually happens. I understand your dilemma, but I personally will not be sticking around for Timer reactions so I hope you dont end up going that route.

Garciaale992

Thanks for the update

Smitty Werbenjagermanjensen

Sadly if it's gonna be timer I'll have to unsubscribe bc I only use my phone so all I'll see is the reaction lol 😭

Jessica

Even if u take a whole month to relax yourself i will still be here to support you! Dont stress too much! Better to record when you can actually enjoy instead of forcing yourself! Hope it all works out for you in whatever you decide!

Animaechan another Anime Reaction Channel posted this: Tonight, Nitxua (one of my mods) told me that they had combed through Patreon's Terms of Use and the results are (what I consider) VERY GOOD NEWS!! See their message to me below: "As I read it the copyright holder must claim their copyright on EACH POST SPECIFICALLY, and if Patreon deems their claim valid the creator has 48 hours to remove the claimed posts, else Patreon will delete the posts themselves. They will only remove the page completely if the verified copyright holder is claiming every post on your page. No matter what the situation you will be guaranteed a 48 hour window to make your page compliant no matter the complaint. In that case you can also file a counter notification. The moment you file a counter notification your page is immediately considered compliant, and the onus is on the original sender of the complaint to file a lawsuit through the federal courts." The most important part of this is that even if Funimation or anyone else were unhappy with my content, they'd have to file a complaint first, and I'd get 48h to take it down. Obviously I wouldn't fight it or anything like that - which is basically what happens on YouTube, too. I can post what I want, and if anyone is unhappy, it just needs to be taken down. I was very worried the repercussions could be a lot worse and that my Patreon could immediately be terminated. This does not seem to be the case - so I can go back to posting like I used to. I thought we'd need at least 2 or 3 weeks to see how the drama plays out, but thanks to Nitxua I feel a lot more at ease. I also want to say I really appreciate all my mods for listening to videos on this subject and helping me to try and figure out the best course of action. And once again, thank you to the patrons who were understanding and kind about the situation and allowed me the time to figure things out without immediately complaining and expressing negativity about how it was being handled. I was and always will be doing my best. So i think ur also fine with ur Reactions as usually (Only my opinion timer reactions suck ;) ) but thanks for the update and gl ;)

Burni

that doesn't really fix the problem... it only fools the bots looking for copyrighted materials. no matter how "transformative" it is... if you show the full episode so that people can see and hear it enough to see what is going on... its likely against fair use. and if you cant really tell/hear what is going on then whats the point in adding it in the video in the first place... just use timer and you are 100% safe.

Adam Vialpando

Take your time Jamie. If this is stressing you out don't hesitate to take a week or a month for yourself. And for copyright it doesn't hurt to be safe. Most people wait until there's already a problem before doing anything, which isn't smart.

I heard that, since Suzy Lu has her own website with monthly subscriptions now, she's the one who deleted her Patreon. Nothing to do with Patreon banning her. Not sure how true is it. Here's the link where she talked a bit in the beginning : https://www.suzylu.co.uk/anime-reactions/naruto-shippuden/134

Unoder

Yup, kinda figured as much but thanks for sharing. Stay safe, and I hope you find a way to deal with all that negative energy, been watching a lot of tv/movies myself while isolating but I know that doesn't work for everyone.

B00ch

technically even subtitles don't fall under Fair Use. they could still claim it if they wanted too

B00ch

hope you take your time. for what it's worth your content has been transformative for me the whole time

Shendue

I agree with others here that you may be overreacting, but at the same time I think there would be nothing wrong in you being more careful for a couple months to see if anything happens. I seriously doubt it, BTW. I think it's mostly some reactors being very vocal about their worries and scaring each other in a domino effect. As far as we know, Suzy Lu basically TRIED VERY HARD to get banned. It's not like they just casually banned someone because she was posting full reactions and they noticed. She literally threatened anime studios, ignored warnings, started a flagging war with other youtubers and made a huge fuss. She very likely got lots of reports out of spite for her behaviour, on top of it. I would suggest to switch to completely timed reactions (no subs, if not maybe a hint or two here and there to allow for syncing) and see how it goes for a couple months. If nothing happens, like I'm positive will, you can switch back to edited content (but maybe keep your full reactions timed).

Cleven Anthony

Some ppl watch it for the reactor some ppl watch it for the anime some ppl watching it for both. It’s your decision moving forward what you wanna do but I feel like that’s drastic considering Patreon won’t just immediately delete your page at the very they would tell yu what’s going on. But if your fearful your fearful, at least theirs still some reactors doing it normally until they’re told or shown otherwise

Shendue

That's the point some people here is trying to explain, but unfortunately Jamie seems too scared and anxious to trust it. It's not like Suzy Lu got banned out of the blue. What happened, from what I can infer, is that she basically started a war against other reactors, Toei, Patreon itself, the entire universe and their moms. Not only she completely ignored warnings, but she answered to them by threatening to take HER legal action against THEM. And now I read that she claims she wasn't banned at all and it's her that willingly decided to switch to upload on a personal website. Either way, it's highly unlikely Patreon will start a witch hunt because of her. Not only Reactors are a pretty decent chunk of their users, but also the fact that what happened to her is such a big deal is a false perception. It's just that her viewers, and a bunch of redditors, are very vocal and noisy about the issue. In reality, Patreon and anime companies barely even noticed. For them, it's just another youtuber.

iLight

Trust nothing will happen

Cleven Anthony

Nah Patreon removes her and don’t post her content here man no one wants that here

Cleven Anthony

Same here man as much as it hurts since I love her reactions but especially with other reactors not changing things up a timer that I have to sync up for would just ruin it for me lol

Temperistic

I will, unfortunately, have to unsub if the timer comes into play for Bleach. Don't have the internet to support two videos at the same time. Sorry

Anonymous

you can download videos like i do. Makes is 100000 times easier. Reasync works with downloaded stuff.

Robert Johnson

Like I said before, NOTHING will happen to you. Because you're fine. You're not attacking anyone, not bringing attention to yourself. The ONLY REASON any of that happened is because of Suzy abusing fair use while also being a huge hypocrite and breaking fair use laws herself, so people attacked her and it got the attention of everyone else. But you've never had any issues other than the takedown by companies over on Youtube, but that's as far as it's ever gone for most people. Because again, most people are keeping the peace, minding their own business, and not hurting anyone. So why would anyone target you? If you start doing timers and making these unnecessary and drastic changes, then like others, I'm taking my leave.

Desto Samuels

Dang you all don't realize that SMF has over 4000 patrons which have been part of her income to keep her fortunate and living. Let her figure out what she needs to figure out, sure she may be paranoid but at the end of the day it's better her losing a couple patrons vs all of her patrons. Let her figure things out she will come to a conclusion one way or the other...

Cleven Anthony

This what your saying is highly invalid, lose her Patreon ? Do you know why Suzy lu lost hers ? Hundreds of people who were pissed reported her. If smf does get a strike on Patreon which I can tell you rn is UNLIKELY; they’ll review it to make sure it’s legit, contact her and tell her she has 48 hours to take the post down or re edit it but no one wants to read they just wanna be scared &amp; with all the reactors that haven’t changed and the fact that most of them do the same or similar shows more and more ppl will just start to move on the longer this goes on 🤷🏾‍♂️

aznzeric

It’s ok Jamie, take all the time that you need we’ll be here for you when you come back.

Anonymous

I know there is a saying - better save than sorry and I know you're worried and nervous, but you should relax, take your time, read the comments here because I think guys have a point. I don't think patreon is going to target you because of the whole situation with Suzy. I've been watching your reactions for quite some time. There are reactors who do this covering their footage stuff all the time because of what if. I personally think it's not necessary because to be honest Suzy was a troublemaker for god knows what. I know that because I used to watch some of her gameplays back then. I'm telling you everything's gonna be fine you have been showing us your full reactions while others covered them for quite a while and nothing happened to you or your channel. I don't think patreon is that stupid. Unless they grant access to japanese companies to check on patreons content they can't know what the posts are about, they would have to pay for it. I'm not saying you should not be careful and take some precautions. What I'm saying is I think It's gonna be over soon and everything will return back to normal.

Some of the people commenting on here are simply stating what they would like to see happen personally, either because it is more convenient for them or because they are here for the wrong reason (ie they are more concerned with their ability to watch an anime and less about the reaction content). These people are not creators and couldn't care less about things like copyright laws since, as a mere viewer, it won't affect them at the end of the day if Jamie's page gets shut down or she gets sued. They'll just find another person who hasn't been shut down yet and watch them instead. It's hard to watch Jamie struggling with this because she is torn between catering to these people and protecting herself from the large-scale awareness that is spreading on Youtube. Most other types of artist without these kinds of viewers in their ear wouldn't hesitate to make compliance changes to their work if they saw someone getting penalized for doing something they are also doing. Sadly she is being made to doubt herself on account of these people threatening to stop supporting her. Frankly, if they would stop supporting her because she makes changes to her work to protect herself from actual laws with real consequences, then they aren't worth worrying about because they aren't actually here to watch her content. They are here to watch an anime and there are reasons those sites on the web that host that content illegally are anonymous, change websites frequently and don't host the videos on their site. But I'm sure the people complaining that it is too big an inconvenience to open two whole web browsers at once will supplement her income completely if her patreon gets shut down or will cover her court costs if she gets sued...right? No, it's far more likely they will say something along the lines of "That's BS. They shouldn't be able to do that. I'm sorry this is happening to you." Then they will stop charges and go find a different person to follow because they won't have any personal repercussions at all. These are the people that you should completely ignore and if they come or go, let them. So, Jamie, take some days to relax and make yourself feel secure that you are protected. Those who are here for your content will still be here waiting.

Well said robert, I think that at this point this is getting overdramatic.

In the Patreon terms of service you have 48 hours to fix any content that gets DMCA'd. So if you're worrying about immediate termination of your account don't be. Patreon support page: https://support.patreon.com/hc/en-us/articles/208020666-What-happens-when-I-receive-a-DMCA-notification-of-claimed-infringement-

Marek Pfeifer

I am going to be blunt. In my opinion you are overreacting, They are so many reactors on patreon who continue post their full reactions with no issues. I will respect your decision on what format you will going to use from here but you will also have to respect my decision that i will no longer be subed to you if you don't sort it out soon. I would rather give my money to reactor who actually post content. I will probably get flamed by others but frankly i don't care we can't all be nice.

Resticon

Literally at the bottom of the page from the link you just posted it says quite clearly..."Please note that if we receive multiple DMCA notices for your page that we may ban you from using Patreon as part of our repeat infringer policy." I get that y'all saw this on Animaechan's page and that she decided to ignore the copyright infringement based on one of her mod's reading of the ToS, but those same ToS gives them the ability to take down your page for any reason, at any time with no recourse. 48 hours is a way of preventing bad faith take-downs, not to prevent legitimate take-downs based on copyright and if they see widespread abuse of this system they will take action. Unlike Youtube they aren't using bots and can look at your entire page of posts anytime they want.

we are supporting you

Cleven Anthony

It really isn’t about convience nice essay dude but at the end of the day these complaints will end and they’ll just move on to one of the many reactors who hasn’t changed anything and has made your various points towards her completely mute. Kinda hard to defend something when almost everyone else is doing the opposite &amp; stop bringing things to the forefront that will never happen. All these reactors all the content that has been posted over the years if she was gonna get in the kinda trouble that suing is it woulda happened a long time ago or they would said something about the hundreds of videos she already has up. Have they said anything ? NO stop bringing your theories on this subject out like they’re fact

Anonymous

nice to see a reasonable comment and not all these simps happy to pay her for nothing. and its sad that u have to write that way to not be deemed as a "hater", which is absurd cuz we all payin here to watch and not to hate.

Murkrow

Damn whiteknight playboys. At the end of the day it all comes back to having to pay for the same stuff we can get censored on YouTube. Yes we are here for your reactions, not the anime, but is it really to much to ask for some kind of benefits for paying?. Most people will not have the resource to run the anime on side, or watch from their mobile devices. That's just a simple fact.

ohh

who cares at this point honestly its obvious she's just using it as a break. shes taxed mentally from all the work. if you couldn't tell from the buildup of excuses recently then yeah lololol. i'd rather her take a nice break and get on track though honestly than try to keep pumping out content for who knows how many animes now? I forgot honestly lol when I came here it was just one piece only, but only right after the last arc of dbz super after the109/110 episodes came out till the series ended and didn't know what to watch when she started to get a lot of views. been here for a minute and seen all the excuses but also all the work she's put in, i'm sure it wears on you guys. let her relax and find out how to handle the situation even if it's taking her longer than other reactors its more $$ for her too at the end of the day than those other ones.

TOOKIE

😁😆🤣😅😃😐😑

Unoder

Damn entitled MurKaren's. Listen champ, the unedited reaction's won't be available on yt so miss me with that disigenuous "we can get this elsewhere" vomit. Also, what benefits do you want? That's a real "murky" statement. Do you want her to potentially sacrifice her channel, as a benefit to you, because the very real threat of litigation is an inconvenience for you? Damn yo. I hope not. I mean I knew Murkrow was short, but I didn't know it was shortsighted as well.

I don't mind waiting but I'm hoping the JoJo finale is the next upload

Assimilater

If a company (ie funimation, tv tokyo) has reason to suspect you're infringing on their content you really think a $5 payment is a deterrent from doing investigative work?

Assimilater

There's no guarantee they won't change their tos when under fire from these companies. That's why many want to make changes until the dust settles

Assimilater

If you saw what Rachael said in her streams when she contacted funimation their first question was "Are other people doing this". Ya suzy brought it on herself but more likely than not all reactors are gonna feel the effects. I'd appreciate a little more caution and consideration from reactor fans instead of pushing for more reactions when so much is uncertain

Assimilater

There's no guarentee the tos won't change when patreon is under pressure from these companies.

It’s never gonna be more money I promise if she takes more than two weeks her next month Patreons is gonna be dropping fast. I have reactor who dropped 3 anime ep back to back and tomorrow we get tower of god and konosuba and more ! Now that’s worth my 10 $ not a convient break.

Misushi

Ok a simple question. Why not simply post full reactions on discord instead of patreon? And some pseudo timer reactions links here to satisfy patreon. This way patreon should be more than save if u all fear that patreon will do anything.

Anonymous

This sounds like a great solution. Of course, it means patreons will have to jump through an extra hoop but posting the links through a discord server should eliminate the risk of patreon shutting your page down entirely.

John tran

There are other patreons reaction to the full episode. So will they get in trouble? Or they did not know about the Suzy incident?

Cleven Anthony

They’re not gonna get in trouble lol. Unless someone reports you or snitch to the company about you Patreon isn’t gonna delete anyone. They had to delete Suzy cause ppl physically found her page and reported her. The best way to summarize is Patreon won’t crucify you for your content but if a person or company finds out and thinks your content non fair use Patreon has to comply and have it taken down but most reactors are ignoring the situation

Jonathan Tavira-Alcaraz

Well this is bad timing. This month is my last month as a patreon member sorry money been tight lately so got to make sacrifices. Still love your content and will support on youtube.

Voidaken

You've had enough time now; get back to the grindstone.

ohh

just move to animaechan guys the one she collaborated with. she puts out like 3x the amount of work smf does honestly. anyone else know any reactors not overreacting to this suzy lu issue? i mean for gods sake even suzy lu has been putting up new reactions LOOOOOOOOOOL

Misushi

Its ok if u want to move on. But no need to promote another reactor here to make everyone follow you.... On a side note I dont really like her reactions because she is nagging and putting on a fight with her followers far too often.So much so that I even couldnt enjoy the animes and her reaction anymore. Only my personal opinion ofc.

Joni Newgate

Smf if has been a week... firstly you became sick during winter break, then cadual breaks every now and then and now this. I am not trying to complain but please start with your reactions as weeks are passing by and we as customers have the right to ask this to you 🙏

Omg Im getting little tired of waiting what is all the drama about..if you want to take a vacation it's fine just say it ☺ this "girl" only got destroyed becuase she picked a fight with whole youtube comunity its not like patreon has the time or the intention to investigate any channel its only to put fear into people

Raynac

No probs, I enjoy watching the shows you produce. take the time you need ill be here when ya get back! I came to patreon back when there was a scare that you would be done with your uploads due to how youtube works. and i got rewarded with even better content than ever before. ill just chew through the back log of shows i havent been able to keep up with. You do you!

i appreciate honesty too. and given her past, she wasnt accountable to her word, multiple times.

I think she should just post links on discord until things die down.

Everyone remember that one time they felt off and life was giving a mental break down. Ya me too. So please with the up most respect let SMF recover and do what she needs to do till she feels comfortable to upload. In the end she is human just like us. Show loyalty and understanding if your here for SMF as a person and not just some entertainment. SMF take your time many Blessings to you.
