Hey everyone.
As the post title says I started Youtube! Why did i decide to do it? well I've always wanted to make videos about things I'm passionate about (AKA everything we talk about here)......but there's another reason, it's that I feel that I can do better than much of the low effort stuff out there (not counting our lovely forum members obviously).
There's a lot of negative Anime stuff on Youtube. Clickbait, surface level content with no real critical analysis, stuff that seems to have been researched by a drunk who can't even regurgitate info from a wiki properly and worst of all........people who watch 1 or 2 genres of Anime and have no respect for its history and seem to actually not like it that much or even be that knowledgeable about it and yet are doing REALLY well for themselves somehow.
I also hate how hateful and cynical a lot of content is these days and wanted to make something that's nice and inclusive and fosters a sense of community.
I'm gonna be talking about everything from collecting Anime on physical media to otaku culture and hobbies such as model making & cosplay, Japanese cinema, tokusatsu and other stuff. One thing I REALLY want to cover is mental health and hobbies having had some terrible experiences that kept me off the forum for the best part of 2 years (still trying to get back into the habit of posting regularly).
Right now there is a channel trailer which will fill you in on what I plan to cover AND my first video which is a beginner's guide to collecting Anime on home video. Obviously that one probably won't apply to most of the people here but it is meant for people who are either brand new to Anime or who have to come to collecting it on disc from streaming so you never know! if we have one or two newbies they might get something out of it.
I'd love it if some of you could subscribe and offer some advice and input into the channel via the comments or the community tab within Youtube.

Got another video coming up about attending a Seed talk with Helen Mccarthy about "the art history of Studio Ghibli"
A Japanese twitter friend, a lovely gentleman called Hitoshi Tozaki is gonna help me with some content from the Japanese perspective so that will be fun.
Thanks for reading and happy Monday!
