So you know when you get excited and eager to please and you end up committing to something and then realising that it's a huge undertaking that you may not have the time to dedicate to due to working full time?

I think realistically I should have started with a smaller series. Perhaps Vinland Saga and then it was on Patreon way ahead of when it came to YouTube, or even Demon Slayer, or even Berserk. I think jumping straight into One Piece was maybe a bit unwise reflecting more on it.

I am a very impulsive person and I want to create as much content as I can to entertain you all. I think in part the reasoning is due to the rapid drop in subs after AOT finished. Which I knew would happen but I think it's sometimes hard to not think that you are doing something wrong as a creator, that you aren't providing enough for people. I have got better at not being a people pleaser but I still find myself pushing myself to please and feeling like I have to do more and more to keep up with the react space and other reactors.

It is a tad exhausting. I think maybe the wisest direction would be to start with a smaller series and build up to a bigger undertaking. I know some of you may be disappointed as you really enjoyed the first episode of One Piece and we may come back to it but I think I'm just a bit daunted overall about how large of a series it is, and the amount of time I need to dedicate to filming in order to make a dent in the backlog.

With that being said I am going to allow you to make recommendations for a more manageable series in the comments below. I will pick what interest me most and then I will do a poll. The difference this time is that to make up for any disappointment in relation to One Piece, I will watch the highest voted.

Part of my reasoning is that I also don't want to invest more time into One Piece out of fear that if I drop it like 50 episodes in then I've wasted your time even further, and I truly value your time and your enjoyment so I don't want anyone to feel like they've been led astray.

I truly do apologise. I convince myself that I can make it work and then find out that it's a lot more than I ever anticipated it to be and that I should maybe try to balance 3 shorter series first and foremost before launching into a huge adventure that will take me years to catch up.

But yes - please do drop recommendations. I am not adverse to starting Vinland Saga or Demon Slayer etc earlier than initially intended if that's what people desire most to see.
