The first "Introduction" episode on my Patreon account is up and free. The second episode which is already up, is my detailed take on why some anime series look great while others seem to drop the ball. (Yes, it's my take on "One Punch Man season 3")

Right now it's very bare-bones. I'll get some nice thumbnails, a banner, and a lot more videos on there soon. But I thought it was worth launching as-is just to get this thing started, so please spread the word!

For example, I could make videos explaining the different positions in the anime industry & what English speaking artists might need to apply for them.
I could answer questions a few times a month about the industry in general.
I’m open to content requests or suggestions too.

1 additional comment. Having played Dragon Quest III first, it was quite a shock when I first saw Dragon Quest I's world-map. That's a pretty big twist ... that isn't even revealed *in* Dragon Quest I at all.

*Finally* I'll say this. I'm looking forward to seeing where the whole series & plot is heading in the future, though I hope it doesn't take a decade+ to finally conclude.
And if/when the anime comes back, I wouldn't mind working on it, so long as I got a cool episode to direct.

In conclusion:
-Anyone who says Boruto sucks is nuts. It's a good sequel & clearly still has lots to offer in the future.
- & Anyone who says "Boruto is AMAZING" needs to cool off. Cause having some cool plot moments & fights doesn't fix other major problems the series DOES have.

I personally still feel that (even w/ recent improvements) the ANIME is the de-facto "real" series and I hope the anime reworks the plot of even current events to show where the whole cast is during these events, and even gets them involved a bit.

Also, 1 more time I gotta mention it's totally insane (to the point of messing up the plot a bit tbh) that the whole cast of Naruto is no where to be found. Wouldn't some of Konoha's Jounin have been good to include in these recent missions & fights? Their absence makes no sense.

The problems though... are not insignificant. 45 pages a month is *half* the pace we got from the original Naruto series, and "Boruto" moves pretty slow in general. The pace needs to pick up or this is gonna be a 20 year series & I fear *really* outstay it's welcome.

Continuing...
I'm happy to see the series keeps up building upon (Plotwise, fight-wise, etc) the good base that was laid out during the Kawaki saga. I like that it has *even better* romance than the original Naruto series, which positively adds to character development.

Just caught up with the Boruto Manga! (TBV chapter 28) & with that I've fully re-watched & caught up with the entire franchise!
Some thoughts:
TBV does improve many issues I had with the manga, including letting the characters actually use their powers & have good 1 on 1 battles.
