Hi everyone, I have a very important announcement to make. Firstly I just wanted to say I really appreciate all of your support throughout the past 3 years and I am grateful for how much this channel has grown. Working on all these exciting MAPs and meeting new people has truly been a blast!!

However, I have always wanted to center my focus towards creating animated music videos and larger projects since way before I created this channel. I strayed away from making any AMVs because of my lack in confidence and skill, and so I pretty much dedicated most of my time to joining MAPs and improving my skills through shorter works. In the beginning, MAPs were so much fun and exciting to be a part of and I really improved at a tremendous rate. But within the past year, I have felt like they have been causing a negative impact on my motivation and mindset as an artist. I used to value my skill and improvement based on the opinion of others and things that shouldn't matter like how well my videos performed or my subscriber count. I also feel like I get rejected to well over 90% of the MAPs I apply to and I know for a fact that the reason is not due to skill level or experience. Working like crazy every day to improve only to get cheated out of a part by someone who only has more subscribers going for them has become a disheartening cycle that keeps on repeating. At this point, it feels like the only way to get accepted into interesting or large MAPs is by having a personal connection to the host or applying for "any" part. But that for me defeats the purpose since I don't join MAPs just for the sake of being included in the final project, but rather to have fun and create my own visual interpretation of a specific scene(s) in the project. There are several other reasons but ultimately, MAPs have become more of a burden and hassle to try and join/complete as opposed to a fun and exciting way to improve my work.

I also don't feel like this channel captures the identity of the type of projects and message I want to put out to everyone, so I have decided to create a brand new channel and have a fresh start. The main reason I chose to become an animator was to make people happy. I love inspiring people and making their day just a little bit better, and I plan on doing that by creating meaningful stories and expressing them through my love for animation.

I hope you understand my decision and I thank you all for the great memories I experienced here. I'll leave a link to my new channel down below if you want to continue following me on my new journey, although there won't be as frequent uploads as before.

Time to start off 2022 with a bang! Thank you to everyone who voted in the last poll, since AMVs were the most voted option, I'll be doing less MAP parts from now on to dedicate more time for those AMVs I got planned! I'll do my best to have a new MAP part finished every other month, and hopefully my bigger projects will be ready later this year! First video of the year will be a MAP part collab with EphemeralMoth! Should be ready within the next 4 weeks :D Cya then!

Hello everyone! Hope you all are doing well and getting ready for the holidays! 2022 is coming soon and with that in mind, I got a ton of awesome projects planned! (Primarily in the form of AMVs) So I wanted to ask you, what kind of projects/videos would you like to see more of on this channel? The list from top to bottom goes from projects that take the most time to least time. I would appreciate any feedback or suggestions in the comments too!

I'm planning on making another animation study in a few months! If you don't know what that is then check out my video from last year, my last one was a study on My Hero Academia! These studies are a really good way to practice and learn animation skills from amazing professional animators and so I'll be doing these once or twice a year!

With that being said, which anime study would you most likely be interested in watching?
