✥ ⒽⒶⓅⓅⓎ ⒽⒶⓁⓁⓄⓌⒺⒺⓃ ✥ + Announcement

Here's the latest mini animation from our group!



It is made by our creative video editor Black Cat!
White Cat was killing the replay button when he first saw it 'cause he's very entertained...

CREDITS:
• Audio: Shiki (Anime) - Pendulum

ANIMATION / SOUND EFFECTS : Black Cat
2D ILLUSTRATIONS (Staff's Icons) / BGM : White Cat
   NOTE: KiryuuDai made the original yellow bird. White Cat just traced it so he can add Halloween designs.

On another note, White Cat received this message from an anonymous (let's just call her that) user when he was asking for permission to use scans:

“I never liked manga on Youtube video. Its just pointless IMHO. Plus, Youtube has a strict policy on nudity and pornography. In this forum/website, its not as exposed as Youtube. Mostly only people who already are exposed to yaoi knows where to find it. In Youtube, if a kid searches for anime, its actually related to manga. Don't get me wrong, I love yaoi and I embrace it but I wouldn't want kids to find it at 10 years old because it is still softcore porn...”

The first two sentences are *cough* unnecessary ... but the rest of her comment has a point. It's not like we aren't aware of this. Yes, we are guilty of casting the bait and breaking the policies but we are not in control of all the fish in the sea even thou we only want to catch a Tuna. (」゜ロ゜) We are not that irresponsible. We at least put a 'WARNING' message in each of our releases. If a kid does stumble upon our video accidentally and still watch it, it's not solely our fault but also the kid's parents/guardians, his peers and his surroundings. With proper guidance and teachings, even a kid should know what is wrong and what is not.

We are still thankful to the anonymous commenter for giving a light on this matter. 

Here are some comments from our staff regarding this matter:
Black Cat: She has a good point on the soft pornography part. Maybe we should put age restrictions on the more smutty parts? I mean, I know 10 year olds read this, but just to make YouTube happy? I don't know if that would be a problem. 
Black Rabbit: Even if we do, how can we prevent kids from watching if the video’s public? T.T The only thing we can do that I can think of is make the videos unlisted and then they can just get the links from our blog so they can watch it. That’ll be a hassle to our viewers thou… and there are those who don’t speak/read English and they may not know that’s happening.
KiryuuDai: I know how the person who commented don't want 10 year olds finding the video, but I mean with internet you can find almost anything including age restricted items. (sign) I agree with Black Rabbit about having the videos unlisted as one option.
Like KiryuuDai said, even if we put all the restrictions, they can still be accessed since it's easy to lie about your age in the internet. So to our dear viewers, this is the current topic we are discussing now. It is possible that our videos will be set to 'unlisted' on our next release and you'll have to get the links on our blog. Will it make a difference? Who knows.. but it might make a little difference. Sorry for the inconvenience but please bear with us. We should be at least be responsible adults/teens/fujoshi(s)/underage yaoi fans and make our world a little bit cleaner even thou this sounds hypocritical coming from a group who does yaoi videos. *laughs*

It would be nice to receive feedback from you. (ʘ‿ʘ)

  1. To hell with that comment!!!! I do understand her feeling about underage viewers, but it's their fault for watching it even after they read the warning (sorry anonymous!!) Please, don't make the video unlisted. But, if you have to, I can't say anything and I'll bear with it. And sorry if my English a bit weird.
