Published: January 31st 2025, 5:00:12 am

Hey everyone!! Happy first month of 2025!

First of all, here are some first work in progress previews for the "Alya Sometimes Hides Her Feelings in Russian" and "Dandadan" projects.

I'm really excited for the overall quality of these two new projects and both have been a lot of fun to work on so far. I've definitely had a great time with some of the exaggerated comedy animation for the Dandadan project in specific.

You guys should be getting more previews soon, as more shots begin to hit the lineart and color stages of the production.

Storyboarding for the new Marin x Gojo animation will also be starting soon, so I'm excited to give you all more previews for that project as it becomes available.

Regarding the HIGHSCHOOL DxD Project!!

DxD is still on track for release tomorrow!! It always seems to come down to the last minute with these, but I assure you all I'll be working tirelessly until it's ready for release!

I will mention this here, and also on the Animation release post but I do want to make something clear with this project: I started the DxD project quite a long time ago at this point, and there are some things I'd do differently now if I made it current day, but overall I have still given it my maximum effort. I wanted to focus on it feeling like it was from DxD itself first and foremost, and I still have things I'd like to do with the characters.

A sequel is more than possible if you guys wish for it, you all just have to let me know.

Thank you everyone for your incredible patience with this project. I greatly appreciate it.

There will be a super spice tier poll in February regarding the Alya project, and potentially the second DxD project, for sexy/spicy scenes to be included in the future. Make your voice heard!

Talk to everyone very soon!!
