Update: August 27th, 2018.
Added 2018-08-28 03:26:41 +0000 UTCSuper cereal face, you guys.
So as many of you may know... SAOA EPISODE 13 IS DOOOOOONE!!!!!
We had a blast premiering it on our Friday stream last week after the triumphant return of Soupcan!!!
We had like 10 times as many viewers, which was pretty neat. You guys must really love Soupcan XD
The other thing many of you may know is that the episode was uploaded to YouTube and instantly hit with a Content ID. Never fear! We'll get our Copyright Strike in about a month, then have it back on Youtube a month after that.
Good ol' YouTube. Always making the process longer and more difficult for no god damn reason. What a pal!
Silver lining though. The episode is still available to all our Patrons via Google Drive.
Speaking of which, there seems to be a whole lot of more of you. I see no connection between these things. Welcome and whatnot!!!
We're super happy that you're here! Be sure to check out the extra stuff and join the Discord. We'll be having a hangout on there this Friday, watching the seminal film High School Musical 3: Senior Year!!! Really gets to the heart of what it is to be an ultra rich, beautiful teenager in a world where people sing about how stupid singing is. We're also really curious if Chad and Troy will finally bang. NO SPOILERS!!! SO HELP ME IF THERE ARE SPOILERS IN THESE COMMENTS I SHALL BRING DOWN THE BAN HAMMER WITH SUCH FORCE AND FUROCITY YOUR GRANDCHILDREN WILL STILL BE CLAMMERING AT OUR GATES WHEN THE DOLPHIN UPRISING IS FINALLY AT HAND!!!
We know there are some issues with the Google Drive Player watch limit, but we're trying to find ways around that. We even created an account with Vimeo (That's right, distgusting-ass Vimeo) whom, after our research told us that it wouldn't, also swiftly gave us a Copyright Strike and deleted our account. So that was butts.
At this point we're hoping that having it on two seperate Google Drives as well as Dropbox will help keep the view limits in check.
We're doing our best to find a workaround for this problem in the future, even looking into creating our own website. With no Content ID... and Blackjack... and hookers!
We've also decided that, moving forward, we will no longer be uploading the episodes to Facebook. We've recently learned that Facebook's copyright system is a little more draconian than YouTube's. There's no way to fight it if you get one. This could put our page, as well as our own personal Facebooks at risk, and we'd rather not chance it.
Work wise, now that Izzy is done with Episode 13, we can dedicate more time to scripting episode 14, while I work on MHAA Episode 1 and Izzy gets goin' on dem Bloopies!
This may be the most serious update we've ever done.
I hate it.

Love,
Carrie and Izzy.

I love your content I found the SAO abridged series last year and absolutely loved it and that's what drove me to support you guys as it has to be rough doing so much editing and trying to survive. Keep up the great work

2018-09-02 06:46:14 +0000 UTCYa know, I was wondering what you guys were working on for so long. Then I saw the episode and I can officially state THE WAIT WAS WORTH IT!! Every single interaction in this episode was pure gold. You even made Yui's survival absolutely amazing :D So.... when's the next one? :P

2018-09-01 12:40:18 +0000 UTCDo u think you'll ever get up to the mothers rosario arc at this rate? In episode 9 asuna said that her parents are getting divorced so I can't wait to see what u guys are gonna do with the subplot of asuna and her mom in the MR arc (plus Yuuki is best girl in all of anime and I can't wait to see what u end up doing with her)

2018-08-30 03:43:30 +0000 UTCAs always, it will eventually be up on YouTube for free once all of this nonsense has been sorted out in the next couple of weeks. Other than that? We're looking into some options but can't promise anything at the moment. ~Mackenzie Murdock (Hayabusa449)

2018-08-30 03:42:16 +0000 UTCHow soon are you guys looking to invest into making your website? I gave you guys my card but I am almost finished with school and could apply my efforts full time if its sometime next year

2018-08-29 14:09:31 +0000 UTCWish I could support you guys, but I have no extra money until next year. Do you have any idea when and where episode 13 will be available to non-patreons?

2018-08-29 13:55:55 +0000 UTCFor now, yes, but only because the Google Drive is the only working means we have a distributing it at the moment, and that's reserved for the $5+ Patrons. We're looking into other, more free, ways to do it, like a website, so we'll keep you posted on that.

2018-08-28 16:11:18 +0000 UTCI'm not sure if I'll be able to watch without crying. My boyfriend passed away Friday morning. He introduced me to you guys. RIP.

2018-08-28 04:59:39 +0000 UTC>.> is there recordings of the movie watching streams? I usually cant make livestreams becuz of timezones and work and i love me a good commentary track, so capitalize on that somehow to please me. Hugs and kisses, this guy.

2018-08-28 04:57:19 +0000 UTCThen I am glad I am a 5$ patron by the way how many years till episode 14 I can't wait
2018-08-28 03:52:59 +0000 UTCYou can also make a copy of the file to your own drive so there is now viewing or download limit

2018-08-28 03:52:25 +0000 UTCIndeed, what a happy coincidence with the 5-ers. I think getting your video copystriked off of VIMEO has to be some sort of lifetime achievement, they should send you a commemorative plaque.
2018-08-28 03:42:08 +0000 UTCSo for now on the episodes will only be available for 5$ up patrons for about a month after release?
