Ok, so not a post I expected to make, but here goes. Recently, I got a major client handed to me in my job role. This is great news for me, and should be a nice feather in my career cap. However, with this comes a lot of additional workload for me.
Unfortunately, this means that I no longer have the bandwidth to film/edit content for the channel without running myself ragged.
Couple this change with the recent strikes against the channel, as well as the 2026 algo changes that have essentially destroyed our viewership, and I think it's time for me to face a reality.
Our Saul & Robin reunion video will be our final reaction video on the channel. We'll also no longer be posting any TCG content. I'd still like to make AMVs for the songs Tasha wrote, but I don't know when/if that will happen.
It's been a fantastic 3 year experience, and we've really had a great time interacting with you all in the comments!
If you want to stay in touch, come join our Discord and we'll hang out and discuss all the amazing episodes to come (and that The One Piece trailer, 🥵)
Take care everyone, and thank you for everything :)
Strike #2 Removed, and video is back up. Guess we'll see how long it is before they decide to strike us again then disappear into the woods giggling while we wait out the 10 business days of silence.
We'll get ourselves current on One Piece reactions again over the coming days, though my day job has been murder lately so it likely won't be quite as quick as last time.
What an exciting, then entirely sad graph this turned out to be:
Well, things were going well and everyone was enjoying our reaction to Robin and Saul reuniting...but we just got copyright struck again on that video, which was our best performing video in months.
We'll obviously fight this one too, but it once again means we have to step back and avoid posting for a bit.
This is quite frustrating that YouTube is so easily exploited, so we'll probably launch a Patreon since YouTube seems content to allow us to be bullied.
Hey hey, Nakama! We were successful in getting our copyright strike removed, so we're finally getting back to our reactions starting next week. We have some catching up to do, so next week will be a 5 days, 5 reactions catch up week! Starting with Episode 1159, we'll release one episode a day all week, so that we'll be back on our normal Monday release schedule by Episode 1164.
Not going to have a reaction this week while we figure some stuff out. Out of no where, we got a copyright strike against our channel, not a soft "we're taking your monetization" notice, a full video takedown strike. While we certainly feel it's a bit overzealous and will dispute it, having this strike puts the channel in a weird place while we address it.
Well, we tried. Sat in line for 5 hours in 40 degree weather to get some EB03 boxes. They ran out of tickets 10-15 people ahead of us in line. If case prices come down at all, we may snag one at some point, but for now, don't expect an opening video from us 😢
Unfortunately, we're going to be a bit late getting Episode 1150 Reaction done. We dared to go be social last week, and both got sick, including our friends. Tasha unfortunately got it the worst. It went straight for her voice and her throat, so she's been dealing with a week of chronic coughing fits, a terribly sore throat, and her voice is basically just a whisper. We were hoping she'd have recovered enough by now...but nope...if anything it's trying to be more annoying, as we've lost massive amounts of sleep due to her near constant coughing episodes. So...we'll get it out as soon as we are able! Sorry about that!
It's finally complete! Our music video for Ghost Masquerade, a Perona-themed AMV using the song Ghost Masquerade created by our resident red-head, will be going live Tuesday, October 28th at 9AM CT...just in time for Halloween. This project took a couple hundred hours to complete, so please take a look at let us know what you think!
And Happy Halloween, Nakama! Horohorohorohorohorohorohoro!
No video this week! I've been working my tail off on a video project since Mid-September with the intention of releasing it before Halloween, and I'm a week and a half away or so from finishing it. In order to get it released on time, I'll be dedicating my full attention to it this week. I've poured about 150 hours into this thing so far...so it's basically consumed my life at this point. We'll be back on the couch reacting to One Piece when it returns this weekend though!

While we continue to fight for the future of our channel, our newest song, Demon You Fear, dropped today. Give it a listen!

We'll post updates as we get them.
