New video by me! Up on YouTube Dot Com!

I reviewed the terrible Beyblade SPINOFF series!

BEYWHEELZ was so weird, Japan didn't even want it.

Let me tell you about it!!!

NEW VIDEO! Wow, Time Stranger was a HIT.

But like, what happens next? What does a hit for Digimon games MEAN? Expedited sequel? Side spinoff? What about Survive 2 or another World?

I explain what to expect and what MIGHT happen in Digimon's near future.

Digimon Beatbreak Episode 1 was a brilliant start. While it's too early to make sweeping proclamations, there was a lot to love (and a lot to think about) in the pilot.

New video! I reviewed Bâan, the debut anime by
@giggukaz.bsky.social

Bâan was a huge swing for its creator: emotionally, financially, creatively, Garnt went all in.

Did it work? My review:

In an effort to more effectively pander, I have decided to do a podcast about an odd show I was on as a kid called Beyblade. The first season is a beautiful time capsule of the world immediately before 9/11. Thank you to @aud.bsky.social for guesting on this episode!

Alex Hood's character from Beyblade grown up and having transitioned to a woman hosts a podcast. The podcast is called Geyblade: A podcast about Beyblade."

The Digimon Tamers Ending Was TRAGIC.

Many of you liked my retrospective on the ADVENTURE finale, so let's talk TAMERS.

The way the Digimon were ripped from our heroes' arms. The burden of adulthood and the powerlessness of childhood.

New video! I'm sharing my YO-KAI WATCH story: the time I worked on the North American rollout of Yo-Kai Watch 2 for the 3DS!

It's no secret that the series struggled to find success outside of Japan. Here's my experience working on the launch!

Thanks so much!

As the creator (and as a deeply self critical person) I can't help but see all the ways it could have been better haha. But I'm proud of what it is, especially as a first outing!

Nowhere to go but up!

thedigiknow @thedigiknow.bsky.social · Aug 10

Especially since what I usually provide is free (video reviews on youtube dot com), it meant a lot that 600 people believed in me and the concept enough to spend real money.

Thanks for taking a chance on the book! On my story!

thedigiknow @thedigiknow.bsky.social · Aug 10

I'm not sure if 600 sounds like a lot to YOU, but when my goal was "100 in the first year" 600 in 8 months, it's mindblowing.

No marketing budget, just an organic trust build between you and I over years of talking anime on YouTube :)

1 year ago on August 10, 2024 I finished drafting my first novel, Dot Monster ReVolution.

Still needed work before publishing in Dec, but the story was COMPLETE.

A year later, nearly 600 copies have been sold! No publishing house, no marketing budget. Thank you!

Onto the next one~
