Announcement vid who dis!

Hi everyone! 

We just wanted to share a quick video announcement with everyone about some soon to come changes & new additions to the release schedule here on Patreon! 

2022 has been a weird year. It's been a year that allowed us to experiment and learn. We are excited to enter the window of opportunity 2023 offers, and we want you to be a part of the change that is to come. 

Please understand that with our ongoing reaction schedule and other commitments, we won't be able to fully implement many of the decisions we're making right now (with your support and feedback) until early 2023. 

We hope this video announcement helps clarify some of our decisions and recent poll activity, and that you're excited to reap all the benefits of being a Normies patron! <3

I think they would go crazy if they reacted to the anime monster

Goldy

nice stuff. ALso as someone who just can drop in every three or four months its nice you dont begrudge it.

Rebel Pilot

All that other stuff is cool but react to the Sopranos... thats all I got to say.

Yusuf Musa-Fari

Just keep forging ahead, change can sometimes be scary but nothing ventured nothing gained :D. Also would love to see you guys react to Spy X Family for some wholesome family time :P

James Keong Sin Gen

It’s only logical that you all, as a team, would endeavor to pursue other avenues and interests and overall experiment with the channel this past year. With an increasing crew/family in front of and behind the camera, there are bound to be growing pains and an influx of ideas in regards to which direction is best to take the channel. ALL OF THIS IS GOOD! Of course, you addressing these changes now, and explaining your previous mindset before laying out how you feel patreon could be better incentivized is also wonderful. More of this communication please, always! No matter what shows are covered or regardless of changes, I think most of us patrons are here for you guys because you’re interesting and entertaining as individuals and endearing as a family, and we’re happy you’ll keep doing things to try to appease us.

Champion Bescos

Although I enjoy many of their other reactions such as The Office and some of the anime, it was Buffy that finally got me to sub. I don't know if Angel is enough to keep me. I think if they threw some Veronica Mars my way, that's my lockdown.

SesameKat9

There's a lot of people who would cancel their patreon subscription if the channel reacted to more anime.

Chaos T

To be fair there were a lot of live shows that premiered this year; too many imo.

Chaos T

Never too late for reactions to PEACEMAKER

MarcusDiggler

I guess I just want them to react to something that's not quite so mainstream one time. Maybe something like Shin Sekai Yori.

SesameKat9

Lol and where do you think the patreon members came from? Growing on YouTube means growing on Patreon... U gotta think big picture instead of sounding so condescending..

Misael Matute

Same

The Answer

Lol Pavi, I’m rooting for you!

Ellinor

BSG would be a dream!

Ashleep

Yesss more Buffy would be great !

Jessica

this. buffy thursday should be buffy and angel

rickie woodson

i thought it was a "we're moving" video since they said they are looking to move to czech to help marketa's family

rickie woodson

They're doing Haikyuu right?

M.

sandman and interview with the vampire tv series and magicians!

rickie woodson

if its buffy i might do the annual sub. double drop for buffy and then angel in 2023? that is how you get me locked down

rickie woodson

Pierce the heavens!!!!!

Chaos T

Samurai Champloo is long overdue imo

Chaos T

Yes please

Chaos T

Yes on both. Gurren Lagann is f'ing god damn entertaining. Cobra Kai is the best live action anime.

Chaos T

If they don't watch Rebels they're missing out on the best droid of all time.

Chaos T

All reactors should take this to heart.

Chaos T

Problem i had was with movie premieres was you didnt follow through and watch the movie like Nope and Jackass 4. How about a retro review of something old like Deadwood one if the best series on Hbo that was shown before all the big ones like GoT and Westworld. Maybe some shorter anime stuff would be nice too. No matter what you do i will be watching The Normies.

Rnd1000

Lol one of the few times were they actually seem like youtubers...

Misael Matute

Pls I just wish we could do at least one anime that isn't action. Just a different type of anime for once. I know those are the ones that get the most hype...but still...

SesameKat9

Not gonna lie when I saw that I was just you too in the video I thought you all were announcing that you were leaving the channel and got really scared 😨

Max

Also please tell me the Clone Wars crew will be watching Rebels. That’s the main reason I’m sticking around. Thanks for all the work you guys do though

AvatarJordy

PLEASE WATCH THE SANDMAN ON NETFLIX

AvatarJordy

I thought that too lol. Or that they were leaving the normies. They're 2 of my favorites.

Sou saetern

i mean premier chasing wasn't a bad thing i guess, i went premium for the naruto journey and i'm staying premium for the buffy... unless i go poor then yeah lol

EJ Roldan

Ahh yeah it has been like 2 years must've lost some no idea if their patreon has em but pretty sure they did finish since I was watching them do it live.

PKKite

Recommendation: Anime: Gurren Lagann Live Action: Cobra Kai

Kamina 1

Glad my normies are back. Admittedly even i was getting a bit frustrated with premiere chasing this yr. Missed you guys ❤🥲

Kamina 1

Tell me how I thought this was a "We're PREGNANT!" video lol

Kamina 1

Lol thats who Im talking about, a lot of videos are missing on heathah and hus's page unless I overlooked them. I gotta check out spazz, thanks!

FryLord

Heatah and Hustla REACTS did a full reaction to the Dub on youtube along with Spazz Boys Comedy but his is pateron I belive

PKKite

I would love a Stargate reaction but it's a long series. BSG would be a good option if they can get past the copyright issues.

Chaos T

LET ME SEE YOU GRIT THOSE TEETH FOR MORE REACTIONS

FryLord

Currently watching the rebellion arc again because it's fun

FryLord

It's a basic flow, we all see youtube video, we go ooo ahhh, then we sniff out patreon then we throw money and then we're like OOO AHHH....it makes perfect sense to focus on the foundation and the primary means of attracting people to pateron. I don't know how long you've been subbed but I've been kinda shocked at the growth here in the past year alone

FryLord

What would be next ? Peripheral ? Doctor Who ? Stargate ?

Ji-pi Doyon

The is a big part of me who would like to see a reaction to Jojo's bizarre adventure ( sub of course) but i feel we will get either Bleach dub or One Piece sub...Samurai Champloo would be insanity really !

Ji-pi Doyon

Samurai champloo would send me over the moon. Only one channel reacted to it but they didn't finish and several videos got flagged

FryLord

Um....my dude, a few dollars out of thousands of patrons and their dollars, it doesn't matter. You don't have power to be giving an ultimatum. Spend your money how you please but it's pretty grimy to be making demands with pocket change

FryLord

Cobra Kai!!

J. J.

SAME lol, That thumbnail felt like a massive drop of info

FryLord

I subbed because of The Expanse and it feels like live action science fiction on the channel is sorely lacking.

Chaos T

This was my main complaint when I took like a 2 week break from Patreon so I love seeing this addressed. Premiers are fun, but Patreon needs these incentives. Now my only critique is that you guys seem to want to make yourselves miserable with another filler and recap filled, stupidly long shounen series :) There are so many amazing shows out there you could watch in that same time frame. You could have more polls, which always seem to drive engagement. Plus you guys will have way more fun with it.

greenb3ar

Roshi has become the most popular channel on Patreon because they largely don’t do super long shows

greenb3ar

I hope live action and short anime don't go to side chick status in 2023.

Chaos T

One slot for bleach which is a long running show but keep another slot open for shorter shows I’m talking 13 to 50 episodes so we can get a variety. Same thing with the live action series… this is coming from someone who is a bleach fan

Mr. Big Stuff

Honestly for me just shorter shows both animated and live action series. Quality shows will be picked but will also get more Quantity too.

Mr. Big Stuff

Hi Normies, have you considered watching Chinese animation shows as well? Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation is a completed series that is worth a watch. It's the animation version of The Untamed, the show you guys tried for an episode due to a patron's request.

Sickleweed

Glad for those who didn't understand text lol. My big 3 for 2023 would be the Bleach Dub reaction and Samurai Champloo Dub (both shows have amazing Dub leads absolute goats) with a Arcane reaction. Plus the office continuing with Clone Wars which hopefully leads into the Bad Batch and Rebels.

PKKite

I second Pavi’s suggestion. Blind Wave and RT TV already reacted to Gurren Lagann and they have nothing but praise for it. I already know the Normies would absolutely love it.

SeymourAsces

I just wish you guys would add your discussion with the uncuts. I understand you want your YouTube click but I’m to lazy for that🤣

joe liptak

Ok

Randy Neal

Finally, the main chick is being listed instead of the side chick. Sincerely, guys, I joined Patreon solely for the anime stuff; I begged for the naruto double drops. If you want me to keep my Patreon subscription, please do the One Piece reaction, as I want to cancel it after the Naruto reactions are finished.

itachi_aleem

I thought this was gonna be a baby announcement lol

Q

Their popularity sky rocketed with naruto whether you want to admit it or not, those long anime bring tons and tons of patreon members

GodUsopp

Chris's attempt at "terms you'll understand" 😆 Also, the reaction he gave Marketa to her arguably misused expression "pooped our brains out" 😂

Alexis Cardarella

buffy mor boffy

Eric Paul Owens

Gonna be making my push for Gurren Lagann, only 27 episodes, short and sweet!

Pavi

Is 2023 finally the year? Is it finally my time? Are we gonna see reactions to Kid Nation and Gurren Lagann? Time will tell if THE YEAR OF PAVI’S PICKS SHALL RISE!!!

Pavi

really hoping hbo’s TLOU is on the horizon for you guys. cant wait to see what u bring in the new year! :)

jasmine james

I think that may be in the works because there was a tease about it during the last Office uncut vid

Ashleep

Double The Office would be cool.

Justin Jefferson

Arcane! Arcane! WE NEEDS IT

The Normies

Bleach's filler is for sure better than Naruto's but i'd still rather they skipped it. We ain't immortal, just skip unnecessary stuff lol

Shockzz1234

They simply have to double drop Buffy/Angel, surely? It would take way too long to get through the Buffyverse other wise lol.

Shockzz1234

I’m waiting for Arcane 2 lol and am looking forward to the studio ghibli movie reactions as per the poll

Hasmin Balce

Same here. I suscribed for the uncut reaction to Clone Wars, all other shows I just watch their cut reactions on YT

untzillatx

yeah but bleach isn't naruto. some of the filler in bleach is better than some shows canon. bleach has some FIRE "filler".

Heru Muharrar

The puns 😂

George Bondo

Bro it’s nice to hear there was some method behind the madness this year cuz i really thought you guys just didn’t give a fuck anymore because you were just busy with your own lives and shit. Agents of shield season 1 was when I first signed up for this Patreon and this year by far felt the weirdest on here. Picking up euphoria late in the year kept me here after whateva the hell went on with the attack on titan reactions in the summer. The entire comment section was pissed for like 3 months straight

Alex Mills

Two slots for Buffy and Angel in chronological order would be perfect.

Rufus May

More Buffy would be awesome!

Alison

Double Buffy would make this main chick very happy.

Kwigz-kun

I mean I'm literally here because of The Office stuff they started doing on Youtube which led me to the uncut reactions here, which is how all of these reaction patreons work. It's the only show I watch here and I would have never ever found this place had they not done that. I'm sure I'm not even close to the only one who has a story like this. It doesn't matter what's on here if people aren't finding it, and in the end it's not like the Patreon really suffered at all throughout 2022 anyway so it's ultimately moot. It's not like this place was abandoned by any means. Growth is hard (that's what she said) and you have to try things.

bnut

This is a sure fire way to lose patrons though when I can just watch on YouTube.

Derek Ferguson

I know that. By making Patreon better, you retain more patrons per month and make more people who are already subscribed on YouTube want to join Patreon. If you focus on YouTube growth, you will see more numbers on the YouTube video, true. But without focusing on Patreon, those new viewers won't sign up for Patreon and turn into cash in the bank(not for reaction channels that get shafted by YouTube's copyright system.) So, effort into patreon has a higher conversion into profit than the effort you can put into youtube. Meaning, if you focus on Patreon, then you keep those who have already signed up and have a chance to convince the YouTube viewers you naturally get. And given that is what they are doing, I think they'd agree with me.

Twiska Brand

Thank you for the video, looking forward to new things in 2023! And thanks Chris for the very helpful explanations 😂

Katharina

Bleach without filler isn't really that long.

Pebrocks

Can we have anime poll for a show that won't take 20 years to complete

Jesse Vincente

Will be supporting 100%🔥🔥🔥❤️

jojoey

People find this place through Youtube. Nobody browses Patreon directly for anything. It was an effort to bring in more new people, thus allowing this place to make more money. Makes plenty of sense.

bnut

Fair enough, but you should never have swapped focus from Patreon to YouTube. You guys don't get monetised on youtube and you don't have many sponsors for youtube videos. Whose idea was it to focus on the site that makes no money instead of the site that makes the majority of the money? From a business standpoint, I don't see the point.

Twiska Brand

My first born shall be yours if you double Buffy. Or at least Buffy and then Angel back to back when the time comes. Regardless I plan to be here for a long while.

Tim Pierce

❤️

Manny D.

Dope

Griffin

Yaaay! <3 Thank you!

Ashleep

Yay! Thanks for being so transparent about what's going on with the channel. I, for one, am excited to find out what is getting double drops!

Mandy

Chris is literally Michael Scott😂 but anyway thank you guys💙

Christopher Clark

I unsubbed for a bit because you weren't watching any shows I was super interested in, then recently resubbed for Andor. All these changes sound really positive and looking forward to seeing which shows you pick to react to in 2023 :D

Kara

<3 can't wait to see what comes next for you guys! Also LOL at "pooped our brains out"

Brakthir
