July/2025

Hello, I accidentally deleted the post I made in April 2025, just before the GQuuuuuuX build, after the 40 months of silence.The deletion was totally unintentional. It had received 1,000 likes and more than 100 encouraging comments. Unfortunately, there’s no way to undo it. Thank you to everyone who took the time to leave a comment in that post. I've read all the comment already.

As I predicted in that post, the algorithm didn’t favor this channel, which has put our channel in a very awkward position. The latest video wasn’t recommended to new viewers, meaning there’s no new audience coming from YouTube. Even my relatives didn't recognized the fact I returned. All the plans I had before starting this channel can’t be realized with the current traffic.

Therefore, as I mentioned in the deleted post, I’ll probably post only one video a year. This channel will shift into being a genuine hobby channel rather than the place to carry out all my visions and plans. I’ll save my ambitious ideas for another opportunity. The amount of time and commitment I spend on YouTube will drastically decrease. However, as I find the right timing—just like in 2020—I am willing to return as a full-time creator anytime. Hopefully Youtube will fix the suggestion problem in near future. I am no longer bound by the things I had to deal with in the past decade. Until the time comes, let’s keep in touch🐧




November/2021

Hi, guys. Sorry for being silent.

Next Full Build is actually Hi ν rg. I just finished recording the main footage yesterday.

This build took me 300+ hours in total. The most extended build I've ever done.
I'd say build quality itself is by far the best, cleanest on this channel.

All footage imported in the premiere looks like 20 hours of footage in total.

The rest of the work I am going to deal with is editing (Probably 7~10 days), shooting the ending (1~2 weeks), color tweaks (a week).

BTW, I might move to Los Angeles in January.

If I do that, I have to cancel Zeong Full Build because I do not have enough time to shoot and edit the video since I have another Full Build project going on. For those who've been waiting for the video, I have to apologize that I break the promise.

If I stay in Japan, I might post higher-quality videos from 2022 based on my research. However, looking around other channels, recently, Youtube algorism has behaved quite unexpectedly. I will take a massive risk by abandoning the pass to Los Angeles.

I still haven't decided whether I will make this channel my full-time job, do the thing I had planned back in summer 2020, or move to Los Angeles for my full-time thing.

All thing I can do for now is to finish this project.

Let's see how it goes.

Best🐧

Hello🐧

This channel reached another milestone, guys...

This month, MGEX Full Build hit 1M views.

I have NEVER imagined this channel will have a 1 million viewed video.

When I started shooting MGEX Full Build, right after RX-78-2 Full Build, I had 0 likes, 0 comments, and 0 subscribers on this channel. In short, Zero everything.

Knowing that I have to spend around 45 days on just one video, I do not know someone will even watch the video or not, was a difficult choice for me. I have to decide whether I will continue this channel or not until July this year. I only had around 270 days left at that time.

Eventually, just the ending sequence took me more than ten days to shoot and edit. The ending sequence has 90 seconds long, three times more length than the last two cinematic endings I posted. Also, transition and each cut made from scratch without sliders were much more dedicated than the previous two. I replaced the MGEX LED battery running out four times during the shoot. Even thumbnail took me about 7 hours to consider layouts from several options I made (Actually, there were much crazier options, end up with the most simple one).

I even thought of throwing away 270 bucks and the time I spend on the kit during the scribing stage. I could switch to something more manageable like HG or any other kit to produce more videos.

When I posted the video, there were already tons of MGEX reviews on youtube. It was almost three months after release. I was expecting my video has no place on Youtube.

However, you guys applause the time and effort that I spend on the video. Thank you very, very much for your support. As a consequence, the time was well spent.

I'll strive to provide you more value through this channel.

I apologize for the extended delay in posting videos. I realized PG unleashed released right after MG Wing Zero EW. I thought the release date was December 31st, but it was December 19th. I've decided to switch to PG RX from RG Zeong. So PG unleashed is almost halfway so far.

Apart from video production, there is an ongoing thing. I haven't posted anything related to this yet. It will be challenging and very time-consuming again. I don't even know that is possible or not. However, this is something I've been planning since last summer, before making this channel. Hopefully, I can make it happen by the end of 2022.


Thank you,
Potan

おかげさまでMGEX全塗装動画が100万再生を達成しました！

日本人視聴者が3％前後の微妙な立ち位置のチャンネルですが、引き続きよろしくお願いいたします🐧

Hello guys🐧

It seems that the community's future is unlocked by now.

I didn’t expect that I reach 1000 subs this quick.

Thank you to everyone who spends your pleasure time on my video and subscribes to my channel😁

No one mentioned several changes I made in the RG Zeong, include my family and subscribers. However, the feedbacks are very positive. I feel I’m on the right track✌️

I found quality lies somewhere invisible, but people ’feel’ it instead of finding it. I will keep striving to work on the hidden quality. I spent most of my time on those things after I begin to post on YouTube. I don’t think this is a healthy manner as a Youtuber. I have to produce more videos😂

I’m currently facing the audio issue. I want a low-end warm sound that is comfortable for your ear. My video does not reach that standard. Hopefully, I will fix it in the future video. I am working on that right now.

Also, I am so sorry about the massive delay for the MGEX. I am passing about 35% of the ending sequence, but I don’t like the way it turns out, so I am redoing it over and over again. I feel there is almost no way to end this😱

I assume that in this week, MG Wing Gundam Zero EW Ver.Ka is going to be released.

I may post Wing Gandam EW Zero Ver.Ka build first instead of MGEX full build and RG ZEONG full build.

Sorry about going back and forth🤦‍♂️

Anyway, have a good day, guys.
Hard work forever pays, do your best always.
