I've made the $25 tier actually worth doing. If anyone has been a patron for a year or more I'll grandfather you in. The P.O. box is setup, so if anyone has ANY tape they want backed up, feel free to DM me & I'll send you the address. Most tapes will go on the internet archive, & if possible, they'll go on Youtube as well. If you have personal home recordings you need backed up I can do that too.

I'm officially starting work on the channel again. It took me awhile to find a new place to live, but a Miracle happened & I got a place one town over. Now that I'm doing youtube full time, I've setup a P.O. box where people can send VHS tapes. In general, these rips will be thrown on youtube & the internet archive, but I'm open to other options. I'm prioritizing lost media & things that desperately need to be in better quali...
2023-03-30 03:55:16 +0000 UTC View PostSo it looks like you guys want me to put that comedy video up. Which title do you guys like the most?

While I work on the next main video I want something funny out. I initially scrapped this because I didn't think it was funny enough, but the longer I sit on it the funnier it gets. What do you guys think? Main video material or no? It's pretty much done except Patreon Credits so I could upload a finished version today if you think it's good. The chargeman ken video is one of the most popular videos I've ever done, so I'm probably over thinkin...

"Public Access Anime" won the poll, so I'm doing research into it now. If anyone has any leads on KTEH broadcasts or information please forward them to me. We're doing research on the discord as well. This is probably going to be a standard 10 minute video as most of KTEH's broadcasts are lost media (there's a few on archive.org I'll be using). Here's the clip I used in the recent video for anyone interested. I'll keep you all updated. 2022-07-25 15:13:28 +0000 UTC View Post
I've narrowed it down to 5 ideas. Based just on these titles, what video sounds the most interesting? Open to suggestions,

Final call for anyone who wants to be credited under a specific name. I'm going through the near final workprint & adding patrons to the credits now. Final Runtime is 34+ minutes making it my longest video ever. I would have gone ever further, but editing in 4K is just mental. You'll notice a lot more dynamic editing as well. I tried to make it more visually professional & I think you'll like some of the easter eggs & editing jokes...

Timeline is around 35 minutes long. Sorry for the delay but editing in 4K is kinda nuts. Let me know what you think of the intro.

Pretty laid back vibe, so give it a listen if you need some background noise. Over an hour long just shooting the breeze about weird anime I'm sure you guys would like.

So if you're on the discord you know I was battling with a very bad sinus infection the last two weeks. I'm basically over it and should be doing recording tomorrow. This is going to be my most ambitious video yet as it'll be rendered in 4K. In addition I've ordered an XLR microphone and a bunch of new audio equipment to make sure it sounds perfect. (RIP Radio Shack Blue Yeti, y...

It was going to be about the mario anime restoration, but I've decided it's going to be about saving anime from film reels in general with some 60s anime as the lead in. Think the golden bat retrospective with anime film restoration thrown in. Here's the potential titles. Which do you like best?
This is more in line with what you guys expect, but in face of it's short length it's as long as I could make it. (there's essentially no info available about it but I'm hoping someone subtitles it if word gets around) Final render should be uploaded within the hour. Let me know if there's an issues before this goes out. Next video will be much longer. As I said before, this is an effort to become a full time youtuber so shorter videos like th...

The video is gonna be 5 mins long and it's all very dry all the way to the end, but I couldn't figure out a way to end it. What do you think, too much or just far enough?

This is another videos where I'm sure it'll do well, but it's going to be a little forced. I hope you guys don't mind. To be honest it's a very boring anime and it was made as a throwaway experience (it only aired one time and was never advertised as far as I can tell). I'm editing it together now, but if you're wondering why it's only 5 mins long....well there's basically no info available about it. Test render soon.

Tiny bit of extra info and generally my thoughts on the situation surrounding this anime.

Seeing as how the company that made this no longer exists, posting this here is probably fine. I would really not recommend you watch it unless you do a viewing with friends, but I figured this would be a good place let people know. It's not often you can say "literally nobody cares about this anime just watch it on youtube", but there you go.
PS: I posted a link in the youtube comments too but nobody really reads those. ...

This has literally never happened to me but they released my video. The only video still unlisted now is the Chargeman Ken video which was rejected. Should I re-edit that and make it available again? The first 10 minutes are claimed against the "chargeman ken series master", so visually I'd have to change quite a bit, but at least it would get recommended again.

Going through my messages now. If you want a discord invite & do not have one now is the time to send me a direct message. I'm going to be more active on here and discord as I transition over to doing youtube fulltime. If you can't get me here send me a DM on twitter.

So youtube's put me in a weird situation. They keep claiming things at random, meaning it's actually a good idea to put out low effort videos in between the retrospectives. I have to operate under the assumption that this is just going to keep happening. What does that mean? More videos. They're not gonna be GREAT, but I think some comedy in between the longer stuff is a good idea. This is a 95% done version of a review for an anime thats....i...

Let me know if there's any issues visually or with audio. Patron names won't be updated until next video, so I hope nobody has a problem with that. I have a spotlight video on a lost anime we only have a few screenshots of coming up soon where I'll roll out the new credits. Thank you for your patience.

Did a LOT of retakes to make sure this was consistent & overall way easier to listen to. Let me know how this sounds, if it's good I'd like to add the visuals & music back in & have this back up in a few days. After that I'd like to move onto some lost media again. Someone brought an anime to my attention that we only have two screenshots of, & a handful of info so that should be fun. It's not even on the lost media wiki so I'm...

Still ironing things out & adding new info. As an example, this famicom game is based on a short story called "the ghost train" that's famous in japan, & when I looked up who wrote it they also did sailor Suit & Machine gun which ties into my other videos. Further still, there's some anime based on those books that are lost media adjacent so I'm looking into whether it's worth it to explore right now. Mostly it's just me not being ...

Youtube decided to Re-monetize my channel. I'd like to thank everyone who helped me get through this month in these uncertain times. More videos on lost media, recommendations, & anime that only only eists as offhand mentions in magazines coming up. Again, I cannot thank the community enough for all the support.
PS: Yes you read that right. I couldn't contact customer support to ask about being demonetized because t...

Retakes are going well, so the whole video should be WAY less awkward & harsh on the ears. Here's a second (final?) test to see if the audio is good. You should actually be able to hear the clarity difference between the two. If there's any issues at all let me know. I'd like to record this today with the same cadence & speed. Overall it should be better but since it's my voice it's hard to tell.

Was able to re-apply, here's hoping it doesn't actually take a month. In the meantime I'm re-recording the entire heart cocktail video today. I'm also looking into getting a copy of "Two on the Road" as well since that's currently not online in any form. I guess you could call it "endangered media" though it's probably just manga set to music. Also working on some bonus videos so if I get remonetized you'll have a second channel for short "upd...

I think I'll just have to re-record the whole video. I was hoping it was just me but I'll be damned if this doesn't sound a lot better. Here's a new section I just rendered. Let me know what you think.

I'm currently rolling out a backup of all the videos removed from the main channel. If you're looking for the small goofy videos they'll be slowly rolled out on "Kenny's Discount VHS world". I'm thinking of starting a 3rd or even a fourth as well. One for streams, & another for bonus info. Will keep you posted on these updates.

Been watching the laughing salesman to fill the gaps in my soul. Thinking of doing a Bonus video with all the extra info I have. Is there anything specific you'd like to see from this? Also, which thumbnail do you like more? I think they're both mysterious & striking. I could go either way. The 2nd one is from the Live Action Stage Play.

After some objective listening I've decided the new video just sounds "off". I don't know how to put it, but my voice just seems loud/stiff/forced, whatever you wanna call it. I'm seriously considering recording the entire thing again, if for no other reason than to see if it's just in my head. The poll on twitter seems to think the same thing. What are your thoughts on this?
This is also a reminder that I'll be doing a stream some time ...
