This Week's Content + 2025 Gameplan
🕑 Added 2025-01-05 23:47:05 +0000 UTCBefore we jump into this, can you comment your favorite thing that we've watched together during 2024?! I'd love to see y'all thoughts!
I’ve been working on fine-tuning some plans for a filming schedule—aimed at making posting smoother, more consistent, and more enjoyable for all of you. I'm looking into incorporating things that you all have suggested on previous posts against my thoughts and ChatGPT lol. I'll be working on this for the next few days but here's a general gist.
I have finally decided my number of contents I wish to react to across all categories! They will be variable meaning, there may not always be the same amount of series per category, and it will always be under a set number. As of now there are 5 anime, 5 kpop, 3 tv shows meaning I am currently over that with this list. However, some things are going to be finished and NOT replaced. With that, if there's ever a "slot" or two open, I will be adding paused shows back into the mix at a reasonable pace. Including things from the last post I made. (Frieren, SMTM, etc.)
Let me explain, once RAP:PUBLIC ends, I could technically add more variety or another hour long show, but that's too much. If I ever add a survival show again, it will very likely be less anime series, or variety content that will be posted during those 2 months of airing- for balance.
I'll be aiming for some content with a story, to get multiple episodes in a week to not stall plots. With that being ideally capped to 2. This is with the exception of longer anime, like Naruto. I want you guys to know that this year I will be trying my best to move at my own pace.
For the few paid requests left—that’s Fiction, Kasia, Ripley, Kevin, Chloe, and Lilli, and Chelsey—if any of you didn't continue your patronage into January, please drop me a message. I’ll make sure you get a direct link to your reaction so you won’t miss out on what you’ve already requested. I don't have any new pending at the moment. I'm aiming for those albums to be posted on a Sunday and others sprinkled in as time allows.
This year how I handle kpop variety content will change. January is the month where I'll begin only focusing on select kpop groups, a limited number at a time. This may rotate but I have no idea the frequency on when or how it'll rotate. This does not mean I will react to every content from the groups but there's a chance we make our way through. This way we can touch on missed albums from discographies, learning more of them and seeing the vibes. This means 1-3 variety contents only from certain groups (based on you guys and myself), and yes, khh will take a slot of that and so will survival shows/documentaries.
One off contents may pop up randomly throughout the month, they may be from other groups that aren't necessarily the focus, just like other live stages or albums too. Unscheduled, based on discretionary time.
Some of these contents MAY be streamed, if so, they will only be posted on certain days, not always immediately after the stream. https://twitch.tv/anthonyxtoo
Things you may want to know:
On the weather forecast it's saying there's going to be another Texas Winter Freeze starting tonight until Friday. I hope it's not anything like the last one as they lost power/heat so obviously that would not help with this schedule or me packing tbh. Send me your good energy lol!
I'll be temporarily moving back to my second family's house in about 8 days, that will be about a 20 hour drive split around 2 days. In addition to packing, cleaning, then cleaning and unpacking + setting up, maybe an additional 1-2 days. I won't be going back to my old room but yet an even smaller one 😖 as I try to prepare for the next place. I'll also have to share the room entirely with Jasper so expect more disruption 😩, sadly. I'll do my best to change that situation quickly to get back to a place where I can film freely.
NOTICE: Death Note filming is currently paused for this week as Jax is on a trip with fam. I think I have this week's 2 eps ready, but with moving and whatnot, there may be a one week break next week unless we get to sync up before I move.
(This may be altered as I have went through like 4 different variations at this point.)

latley got has been the most fun bc theres theorising etc makes it more fun, haven watched universe league yet but the premise is rly interesting and woongi is on it so
Lele
nana tour/gose/and similar variety shows for most groups are always my favorite 🥹 also your schedule looks exciting!! that goes for the reactions this year too, like the zb1 variety content etc. I am also in Texas so ig my positive energy will have to go between both of us lmaoo,, I am PRAYING against that snow/power loss/everything. Good luck with your move!

I mean I think there's no problem with trying different things in terms of what worked best for you at the time. I hope this is a smooth approach but if it doesn't workout rest assured there's always ways to tweak it. Universe League is what I was referring to actually. I have purposely waited out almost every survival show that aired last year to see if I was really interested in checking it out. There's just too many and they are too long to watch all of them. I'm glad I did because I think the consensus is most of them weren't necessarily worth watching or just the performances like you mentioned. UL I only caved this week and watched the first two episodes. I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news.... But I actually think you'll really like it 🤣🤣🤣. For one, it's not an mnet show so a bunch of the usual shenanigans aren't there but also the format is different from any other survival show I've watched. I'm now trying to catch up quickly cuz I think I want to vote which I've only ever done for I-land and BP.
anthonytoo
Yes, this is an approach you've mentioned to me before and I wasn't receptive to it back then. After hours of deliberating with ChatGPT, I realized -- wait, MsMercedes told me something similar to this. It's crazy, I literally only say that because they're so dang long and the majority really only care about the episodes with the stages so it feels more optimized to do it that way. 🤣 I keep hearing about Universe League, I was kind of considering.
anthonytoo
Oh that's TOTALLY on me!!! I know for a fact that you did that but for some reason I just completely scratched your name off the list at my desk after doing album 1. I'll add that! Better to DM me keep me on my toes Chlo!
carrotjuseyoo
Lets watch Running Man again ! Been watching running man since 2011 and im so happy seeing you react to them that day. Literally my comfort show these days too, since kpop had me tired these days hshshh
chloe 🖤
i have watched and enjoyed so many things with you this year but i think demon slayer, jjk, and GoT have got to be my faves! wishing you nothing but the best for 2025!
chloe 🖤
hey anthony! i had a paid request for you react to the p1harmony sad song album along with the killing it album (which you have already done big ups on that again!). not sure if it's still in the works or maybe got missed (no worries!) just wanted to bump that in case.

Nana tour and rap public super fun! :)
mssmercedes
Watch list and your thoughts on it sound good. I think it's a great idea to not necessarily replace every show until you get down to your core number and that same strategy should be helpful for you when planning in the future e.g if a show we were watching is finishing and a show you're considering watching is not starting for another 3 weeks it probably makes more sense to watch bonus/one-off content in those three weeks rather than start something long and then having to double up or pause it to take on the other show you were waiting for. "If I ever watch a survival show again" LOL good luck with that buddy I tell myself every year that I'm done and every year it fails. I only haven't recommended one cuz I know your plate is already full 🤣🤣🤣
mssmercedes
Sending Good vibes for the move and hoping the upcoming year is stable and fruitful. Checking stuff out on stream was a fun highlight regardless of the specific content I feel like the format worked for a few shows (especially longer stuff) GOT has to be a standout not only because of the show itself but it's to my memory the first Western show we've checked out here so it's just a nice contrast. In our usual run of things Lovely runner, Dandadan and most of the variety you've checked out has been from groups that I also enjoy so that's been nice.
imani
my favorite of 2024 was your kstar reactions! and honorable mention to lovely runner
Jordan
I'm not on here often but my faves of 2024 definitely DanDaDan and Demon Slayer ! Oh and the streams for the Pyramid games drama! ....Good luck with moving! I know it can be exhausting! Take your time! I live in Montreal it's always cold here🥶. Hopefully it doesn't get to bad over there!
Tesa
sending you good energy!! hope there's no power outage and hope the move goes well :D
