i tried to incorporate the game's art style in a smidge as a test and i dont think it came out as well as it shouldve.. i will try to perfect it tomorrow

banana fish was so good it made me get off my ass and start creating my own shit lmaooo

your seat is toast

your current space is very beautiful

as a long time fan of cws, i sincerely admire how resilient you have been about trying to keep the series going. its been disappointing seeing the direction youtube has taken in general over the last several years, but the fact that you havent let it stop you is inspiring.

THIS CLIP IS CRACKIMV ME UP ?!

35k views in this specific instance certainly is not a success. if we remove all context and say "yeah thats 35k views" thats great, but we literally cant do that. 35k shouldnt be celebrated now just because it isnt zero because it is telling a different story within the actual context we have

something to keep in mind here is that 35k objectively is a lot, but when you consider the situation, it isnt.

for a series as beloved AND of a channel this size, 35k is very miniscule and shouldnt be considered an expected result. both of these factors need to be considered when we talk numbers.

yeah something else is definitely going on. i honestly felt so too, because of how popular the series is in general. i wasnt trying to imply that was the only issue btw, just suggesting an avenue that could provide answers.

i forgot to mention this, but the creator of no. 6 was inspired to create the story because of banana fish. its essentially a banana fish au. said she wanted a story that had less tragedy, but was just as bittersweet as the original. i think she nailed it!

oh period !! yall look sooo good omg !!

yeah i think it couldnt hurt to checkout the manga for sure since its the source material. i have considered giving the anime a rewatch myself .. literally a masterpiece!

lmk how you enjoy it if you want ! yoshida is one of my favorite mangakas and bf is one of the best stories ive seen.

no. 6 is also a very good story! never read the manga so i cant vouch for how it feels to read but the anime is one of my favorites to this day.

no idea what you are looking for, but i always recommend banana fish. the ending is unsatisfying but i do still believe its worth the experience. very beloved story in general but the anime adaption that released some yrs ago reignited its popularity.

didnt think she would look good in my style but now that i know she does i gotta make her look extra cool ?!

also i didnt play this game bc i am ass at rhythm games i just rly like this chara design n wanted to draw her hehe

could it be youtube no longer counting views that come from adblockers? there are a lot of youtubers who talked about the same thing. lower views but nothing necessarily wrong otherwise. iirc, yt came out and said they stopped counting adblock views when people were pressing for answers.

also on twitter you can softblock people

i would never leave twitter fully because i do genuinely enjoy it. its like the only social media platform where you have damn near complete control over what you do and dont see.. even after the elonification. bluesky did a PHENOMENAL job building up on that foundation though.
