My favorite plot in all of the Tales series had an anime. I just wish it was longer. Or had a full-fledged game. I'm just sad it was stuck on mobile, really.

Heart À La Mode is a super sweet Otome game made by two very talented people for a game jam just a short while ago. While it's still unfinished, I'm really excited for the future of this mascot Rom-Com.

I really enjoy stories about androids. They may be done to death, that I'll give you, but I'll just never get enough of seeing how an AI could gain sentience. I just won't. It's the little wannabe philosopher in me that enjoys these stories about humanity so much.

Hey, my pop filter got here! That's an odd thing to be excited about! I actually recorded the entire voice-over I did two days ago again today. Mostly because, despite being conscious of it, I'm a lot more violent with my plosives than I realized. This should help.

Something else I'm doing for the video because I think it's fun and important to acknowledge screw-ups is adding bloopers at the end that happen. You know, like where my inexperience and hand movements cause me to hit my microphone, or my phone crashes when I’m reading off of it.

Winter 2022 has given us a lot of, uh, fascinating anime to talk about. Akebi's Sailor Uniform is one of them.

I can confirm that I enjoy video editing now! I've messed around with it before, but this was the first time I sat down and said "I'm going to make a video!" I'm not surprised, I've wanted to do it for years, but it really does add a lot more layers of freedom and creativity.

Waiting for 86 to continue is actually torturing me. Reading the light novels really doesn't help like I thought. It just makes me sad that all this delay crap might hurt volumes 5 and 6 from getting adapted in the future. That would be a crime.
