New analysis video is now in editing stage! By the looks of things, it’s gonna be the longest one yet! I’m really happy with the script and recording for this one. Really feels like a return to form and I’m excited to share it with you all~!

To The Fans of My Old Dragon Ball Analysis Videos:

I just happened by chance to take a small trip down memory lane and read through some comments on some of those old videos. When I got to the bottom of the comments on “Goku’s Fatherhood” I realized something.

I’ve made a terrible, horrible and truly awful mistake.

I haven’t properly thanked you guys.

Every day you see and hear about how terrible the comment sections on YouTube are. Heck, whenever I complain about the comment section on mine and my sister’s “Dragon Ball’s Magic System” -or whatever that video’s called, it’s been awhile- for being full of people who can’t listen or read I’m always told “That’s why you don’t read the comments!”

But the thing is, I’ve always responded to these people with the same thing “It’s just that video, really. Most of my comments are actually really nice and smart.”

Which is what makes it really sad that I don’t recall ever saying that to any of y’all directly. EVER!

Just to drive this point home, I might end up making a video about it. I doubt that’ll happen but the thought and temptation are there.

If you follow my twitter (kairi_yajuu) you’ll definitely know this already but if not... I’m a huge fan of the DreamSMP and related things at the moment.

It’s crazy ‘cause I’ve to this day never played Minecraft a day in my life (check out my Twitch, Kairi_Yajuu cause that’s gonna change soon wink-wink nudge-nudge) and it was through my brother-in-law showing me Wilbur Soot’s “You Laugh You Lose” videos of ALL THINGS that led me to where I’m at now.

I bring that up because I have been drowning, and I mean DROWNING, in content-creators who seem to be genuinely appreciative of every donation, every animatic, every piece-of-fanart and every single person watching their videos for being such a great community overall.

And it is, it truly is a great community overall. And as a member of it, it’s really nice to know that I’m appreciated by the people I’m devoting so much time, energy and, yes, money, too.

I’m telling y’all this because with that context, as I read through those old comments and remembered how smart you guys made me feel. How supportive of me you were. How even when I had extreme outbursts of anger all across the board while I struggled with getting treated for my mental health issues, you guys were still there. You guys were still watching my videos and telling me what you agreed with, what you disagreed with and what you felt like I was completely making up out of nowhere.

And I never told any of you how much that meant to me. Never. I would only ever respond to people who asked me a question, which is fine on its own, but I also responded to rude comments. Comments where I thought I could give a funny, sort of sassy response to.

I’ve done wrong by you guys.

So, Pistachios, I’m sorry.

I’m sorry for not being more positive.

I’m sorry for dropping the Goku Dissection with continuous promises to bring it back that never came true. (I really did try!)

I’m sorry for that April Fools joke for 2020 that preyed on y’all’s desire to see the Goku Dissection.

I’m sorry for not finishing the “The Appeal Of” series of videos analyzing the different ships in the Dragon Ball fandom.

I’m sorry for always telling people that the Dragon Ball fandom was my worst fandom experience.

Because even though it was, I’m not going to lie to you, it also had you guys.

You guys gave me confidence.

And I’m sorry for never telling y’all that.

I still have plans for this channel, so don’t unsubscribe just yet, and I do have a public discord server for anybody who likes any of my content ever. ( discord.gg/PFF3e7U ) So please, don’t be a stranger.

But hey, what do I know?

I can’t speak or read Japanese.

To the surprise of no one - I'm officially putting the Goku Dissection on hiatus. I'm not gonna let myself stress over it anymore. While talking to my friend, Ren, tonight on stream as I worked with her help on an APH character analysis I came upon an epiphany. I'm not happy with the Goku Dissection. We talked about the concept of "the sunken cost" which is why it took me five-ever and a day to finally decide to admit to this. Basically, I hate the idea of giving up on something after putting in so much work. AND I'M NOT GIVING UP ON THE GOKU DISSECTION! I already wrote all of season 2 and recorded the next episode. I WILL return to it. I just need to stop kidding myself saying that it's going to happen soon. I need to stop kidding myself saying that I'll get to work on it as soon as I'm finished with the next biggest project. Reality is, I was in a BAD place emotionally when working on it. My initial drive to make it was pure, unadulterated spite. I was angry. That was why I wanted to do it. I had points I wanted to prove and it shows in the scripts. My anger towards one friends comment of "Goku has no critical thinking skills" coming up constantly throughout season 1 as an example. Taking a break from Dragon Ball and looking at Hetalia instead made me believe that I need negative motivation to make analysis. Working on this breakdown of Prussia's characterization has shown me that I CAN analyze a series without such negative motivations. And that's what I want for the Goku Dissection. I WILL return to the Goku Dissection and I WILL finish the Goku Dissection. I just need to go back and edit a lot of the script and fix it so it's not so negatively and spitefully charged. I still have positively driven Dragon Ball scripts in the works so don't give up on me yet. PLEASE don't give up on me yet.

If you want to see a really good analysis on the Hetalia series divorced from the fandom appeal, I suggest this right here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPJTY...

Sorry for the livestream spam. I meant to set ONE to public and accidentally set them ALL to public. ^^; Should be fixed now.
