-- SAKURA CON MEETUP DETAILS -- 

TIME: Friday 2pm 
LOCATION: Main atrium, just inside the main entrance on 7th & Pike (as seen in the pic) 

I'll post a picture of the precise location in the atrium on Friday morning. (Backup location, in case we're asked to move, will be somewhere on the street outside this main entrance.) 

Excited to meet everyone! Bring any questions if you have them! I'll also (hopefully) have some goodies to hand out!

(REMINDER: You do NOT need to be a con attendee to attend. The location is outside the official Sakura Con paid attendee area. So if you live in the Seattle area, come on down!)

DUNE VIDEO! I absolutely LOVE how Dune explores its themes through the very substance of its world. I find it interesting that I actually have a hard time connecting to Dune's characters compared to most fantasy stories, but it's really the meaning behind the history they're living as expressed in the world and events that carries me through. It's such a testament to Herbert that he created a world that's so compelling on its own. Anyway, enjoy the vid! πŸ˜ƒ  https://youtu.be/Yfc7pFEHnys 

(Next content will be about Hazbin Hotel! Stay tuned for that!)

New TOTORO VIDEO is up! This one is... not normal, as far as the structure. Get ready for Schnee calling himself out for a very flawed analysis and then asking big bro and big sis analysts to help him out! I'm actually SUPER happy with the ideas in this video though! Hope you enjoy!  https://youtu.be/3OaWgaQNLLw 

Also come to the meetup at Sakura Con in Seattle on March 29th!! I WANT TO MEET EVERYONE! 😱

- UPDATE - Reupload of train video also BLOCKED 😀

There's no sense in trying to make it work on the main channel anymore, but I still want it to be viewable. So I made a second channel and uploaded just the audio (subscribe to that for future 2nd channel stuff?) -  https://youtu.be/PAphtEdo5xU 

I also uploaded the original vid in full on patreon (for free) and on twitter:

-- GHIBLI CONTENT ON PAUSE -- 

A few hours ago, I was issued a global copyright takedown on the train scene video. I'd heard this kind of copyright abuse was a risk with any anime content, but I didn't realize Ghibli was one of the most notorious offenders. Since they only decided to take it down after 3 weeks once it started picking up in views, the plan is to delete the original vid and reupload it and hope ghibli doesn't notice. 

Luckily it was a copyright block, not a strike. That means ghibli content will be on pause for now so that I can keep the ghibli video count at 2. This way, even if they decide to issue strikes, they'll only be able to do 2, so my channel won't get deleted. (I'm reuploading the bonus segment to patreon directly and deleting the original, because apparently it's possible to find unlisted videos via Content ID and issue strikes.)

PLEASE if ANYONE knows a way I can get my channel and/or specific videos blocked in Japan, please please reach out to me! Or also if anyone knows any contacts at Youtube that might be able to help me with that, or other youtubers who have succesfully done this, please put me in touch with them!

Hopefully nothing more will come from this! Thanks for the support as always! <3

"How Miyazaki Writes WOMEN" is live!

I've wanted to make this video for SO LONG! Just like the train scene video, Miyazaki just proves to be on a totally different wavelength from EVERYONE ELSE with basically everything he does. And it's always connecting to this fascinating holistic worldview he has which is all about finding deeper layers of meaning in simple acts and simple people. Hope you all enjoy! 

 https://youtu.be/QCUKgF3aOsQ 

(P.S. If you're interested in why some of Miyazaki's female characters are beautiful and others aren't, check out the bonus video over on Patreon!  https://www.patreon.com/schnee1
