Good news, everyone!

My manga has finally been published and have received, from my publisher, 50 copies to be sold, locally in Fremont, Nebraska. If there is anyone interested in ordering a copy who lives outside of the Fremont area, shipping prices will vary and will take a few days to arrive.

Very soon, ordering pages will open on Keikokup's website for more copies that are not in my current possession. In the coming months, we plan on having our publisher release quite a lot more, but not for the purpose of selling locally as I will be at many conventions, across America, over the coming months, and year, selling these and promoting my upcoming, second manga.

Anywho, per copy will be $14.99, and if there are people who want it that are not local to Fremont shipping will be factored on top of that.

So, because people on YouTube like to complain I ended up taking the video down. And now, because I don't want anyone to get mad at me I decided to reupload it.



Tumblr mirror in case YouTube takes it down!

This has been something that I've been looking to getting my hands on for a literal decade, now. Finally, I now have the entire collection, plus the EX Chapter. If any viewers are interested in helping translate the manga, feel free to leave a comment below!

So, I have a bit of a history, with YouTube, in that I have been making videos for 10 years, now, and still going strong. I've seen YouTube rise from the primordial ooze, back when having 3 comments made you the top most commented person of the day. This was also back when the first, ever, video was a dude at a Zoo. Over the years I've noticed Let's Players starting to become a regular thing - often times they can be entertaining to watch on a Friday night, when you want to relax after a hard day's work. But, nowadays I can't really say the same thing about it. They aren't endearing anymore, they're just annoying. Making videos has turned into something that was for self-expression and creativity, to something of a job, and with a lot more irate screaming, and mindless banter while playing games, at a comically stupid rate that makes Dragon Ball Z Episodes look brilliantly paced.

Being someone who creates content for the idea of showing off my game, as well as expressing my views on Video Games, and the games that I grew up with as a kid, I've noticed a loss of innocence with videos, nowadays. They no longer have soul, or passion put into them, and instead turned into something like this:



First of all... what the fuck is this? Secondly, what does being Irish have to do with making unique reactions? I'm part Irish and my reactions aren't that exciting, I'm gonna be honest.

That is the kind of garbage that is littered throughout the internet now, with clickbait videos with nothing of value gained, other than wasted time, to pointless reaction videos that... really aren't that interesting and are often times off-putting. People are extremely desperate for that YouTube dollah, it seems - going so far as to make useless content that has no real value, other than making want to press the mute button, so you don't have to listen to their annoying squabbling.

How this fairs, in comparison to dA, which I've been on for equally long (with different accounts, I will admit), I've noticed that people on dA aren't nearly as obnoxious or "in your face" about making you want to view their content by adding idiotic thumbnails on their pictures, or add clickbaity titles to entice a click. Idiotic content, like this:



Again, what the fuck this?

Back to the point at hand. What I'm trying to say is: deviantART still has some bit of innocence to it, that YouTube doesn't. It's not filled with the same kinds of idiots that post useless content and hope to make a killing off of it. No. If people on deviantART are trying to make a living, they do it in a fair, and reasonable manner that isn't laughable and prone to have you criticized and mocked for your mediocrity (well, this does happen, but it's for other reasons, like bad artwork, etc. or something along those lines). They do this sort of thing through commissions and an act of fair and honest trade. There still is that one scummy ass-hole who will just end up taking your money with nothing in return. Also, the comment section can be used for good purposes on dA, by allowing people to give critiques on their artworks, to ask what can be improved and where. Also, I'm just gonna say this here, as personal bias, I feel that the comment section on dA is just a little bit more pleasant, but that's mostly because I'm around a lot of pleasant people, so it all equals out  XD YouTube on the other hand... well:




Need I say anymore? Or do I have to show more examples of the dreaded comment section?

YouTube content creators, i.e. Let's Players, etc, make their living off of trying to entice viewers into watching their content, interacting, and being so unoriginal as to having to use clickbaity titles and moronic thumbnails to get them anywhere. And for what? 15 minutes of a guy screaming his head off playing Resident Evil 7? I'll pass. Thanks for wasting 15 minutes of my life that I'll never get back.

That's not to say though that YouTube is filled with consistently bad content. I know I've touched on the basis of just Let's Plays, and that demographic, since... let's be honest, that's the one area that is filled to the brim with more criticism than I can shake a stick at. But, there are those who strive to make good, entertaining content that doesn't shy away from decent editing, humorous and original material that isn't trying to imitate an anime fight (for whatever reason?), and some that I do feel deserve some recognition. It's just that those kinds of videos are lost in a sea of overwhelming mediocre and awful videos that it's hard to surf through all of them to find the good ones.

I will say this, however, you should take what I say with a grain and salt, because this is mostly from my own perspective and what I've observed over the period of 10 years on both dA and YouTube. Generally my experiences have been very good on both, but with deviantART scarring me the least between the two, and with me actually making some wonderful and memorable friends that I wouldn't trade the world for. *cough* Krisantyne, *cough* L3Moon *hack* Keikokup and various other people XD

Though I will say... if you ask anyone what the deal is with YouTube, they will always point towards the clickbaity, questionable and cringeworthy nature of the videos on it, as well as the content creators, thereof. It's littered to the brim with stony, and idiotic theory videos that you would have to be high as fuck to come up with, horribly paced videos that take up 1/2 of your entire day, unoriginal and desperate as hell takes on trying to gain an extra few clicks to ensure they meet their quota. Such videos even go as far to be borderline racist, or even sexist to entice people into watching their shitty video about such and such. Sounds a lot like Journalism, except a bit more slimy.

So, I do apologize to all my followers on here, but I feel that I needed to get this off my chest, since awhile ago I was asked by a Pokeplayer, not gonna say who, because he doesn't deserve to have his name announced to the world, if he could play my game for his channel. And, at first he stated who he was and what he does and I was hesitant, since Pokeplayers have now pretty much turned into the worst part of YouTube that I despise more than life itself, and with his follow-up statement, I couldn't help but turn down his offer. Especially since he addressed himself as [insert Pokeplayer here and how great he is] you know, because I care so much that he makes competitive battle videos and is a complete asshole both online and offline. He basically said that he could have access to my game so he could have new content to post to his channel and that my game looked like it could fit the "bill", and that I would gain exposure from his content. I know this guy's reputation and what he's like, normally, so I gave him a wordy response.

Okay... first of all... I don't care about that, one bit. Secondly, I'll release my game when it's ready, you'll just have to wait like everyone else that isn't a tester. Thirdly, your paycheck is of no obligation to me. Personally, I couldn't care at all if you got paid or not, to be brutally honest. Just because your [insert famous Pokeplayer here] doesn't mean you're always gonna get what you want. Afterwards he proceeded to call me an asshole, and basically... he came off as an entitled prick, and told me to fuck off. It was at this point that I decided to just... dump my thoughts on YouTube and deviantART as a whole, in a very un-edited and un-professional critique and rant.

To those of you who've been hearing me talk about anime cutscenes in my game, you might not want to skip over this, because... this is important.

I'm just gonna let this video, speak for itself. The Next Dimension Tournament be getting some promotion, with the finals of Vice vs. Nero at the fight's climax! In your choice of English Dub and Japanese Dub with Subtitles (in-case you hate the english dub). However, I advise you read the description of the video...

And no, I am not looking for Voice Actors, unless you are skilled in the field of work.

Just out of curiosity, and because I had a lot of spending money, I experimented with doing animation work myself, and this is what resulted:

Japanese Dub





English Dub
