Winter 2025 Anime Seasonal Roundup + Spring 2025 Plans

Follow my blog at https://www.blogunderalog.com/ where I do reviews, analysis and more about anime, manga, and other media. Including a write up of this video and some of which will not make it to Youtube, like my manga chapter reviews.

I have a Patreon if you would like to support me and the website: patreon.com/ReiCaldombra. You can get emails for new uploads on my website and Youtube as a free member. Paid gives access to any polls I may be running and art I’ve commissioned.

Please do not show my videos on your stream/video without my permission. If you want to use a clip from me in your video, do a reaction etc please ask first and respect my decision if it’s a no. Let’s all respect each other’s creations- Bouncing off each other is great but blatant content theft that hurts the original creator isn’t.

Rei Caldombra here! I just want to give my more detailed thoughts on topics I feel like talking about, mainly anime and manga. I hope that I can give people a better appreciation for the stuff I like and think deeper about the media we voraciously consume. Most videos will be based off of blog posts from Blog Under a Log, but I will also occasionally do unscripted videos where I give my thoughts on things, and maybe some streams here and there.

I’d love if you stuck around with me and tell me what you think about the stuff I talk about! I hope to create a community where we gush about our favorite series/topics and engage in civil discussion.

Channel Guidelines:
1. Be kind and respectful to everyone. This is an inclusive space. Don’t attack people. Please be civil. No slurs or derogatory language of any kind towards anyone.
2. Keep chatting relevant to the stream or what I am talking about. Just because a particular topic came up in one video/stream does not mean it should be brought up in another when not relevant.
3. I don’t go out of my way to be NSFW but please be aware that my content may contain cursing, sexual topics, dark subject matter etc. Please do not bring up darker topics when not relevant.
4. No spoiling things in the comments/chat above the level of the of the video for any series being discussed. Ex. If we are talking about chapter 1 with no spoilers for what comes later, keep it to chapter 1. If I say there will be full spoilers, then spoilers are fine.
