Totaraum

I’m back! I promised I would let you all know where I popped up again, be it on this channel or somewhere else, so here’s the link to my new channel: www.youtube.com/channel/UCz0e... There are five videos currently up, so please give them a watch if they look fun to you!


For those who want some more context, I’ve been re-evaluating the work I’ve been doing over the last year or so and realized I haven’t been satisfied with the identity of this channel for a long time. I’ve pivoted and thrown shit at the wall while trying to keep in touch with what I thought was expected of me to mixed results so many times that this channel’s back catalogue feels like a mess to me, and every new video was a very stressful and confusing endeavor. So, after recovering from the burn out of this process, I asked myself what I wanted to do going forward, with no preconceived expectations.

My answer was creating shorter, more authentic videos with a much larger focus on comedy and personality than analysis. Authentic is the key word there. I want to make videos that feel like an unhinged friend screaming about their new hyper fixation in your ear. While that may not sound entirely different from what I’ve done here, I feel like the videos I’ve made and am making are different enough in style and tone to feel like a complete rebranding if I were to post them here, which is why I decided to start fresh. This also gives me the chance to be consistent in my delivery right out the gate, without creating any more confusion for the many different audiences I’ve drawn into this channel.

This channel isn’t going anywhere, and if I get the desire to, I’ll post something here again, but for now I want to focus my efforts on this new channel. If you all have any suggestions, questions, concerns, etc. please let me know in the comments, via email, twitter, patreon, whatever works best for you. Thank you all so much for your time and support. I re-read my post a few months ago to remind myself of what I said before writing this one, and dog, you were all way too kind to me in the comments of that post. I know this new style won’t be a hit with everyone, however I hope it can make a lot of you smile like you’ve done for me… in case you were wondering if I’m still a corny dickhead, there you go

I can’t believe I’m just now seeing this but I am so friggen happy you’re back. I’ve really enjoyed watching your videos ever since I started watching anime about 2 years ago now. After watching Haruhi it was recommended to me by a friend and becoming a big fan of it, I found your videos after looking up stuff about it on YouTube. Overall I really love your videos and think you’re way underrated.

Welcome back Tota! Hope you're doing much better now. Just finished watching the age ratings video and still gotta go through the others but it felt both familiar and over the top (in a good way) and I can't wait to see more! As for suggestions, from your background footage and and music audio, I've seen/heard a decent amount of video game mods and fighting games. If you think you can make something to your quality standards about those topics, that'd be really interesting to see.
