Hello, David D. Hernandez here, and welcome to Spirit Church. Today, I'm going to be talking about the call of God. Now I want you to know that God has placed a call on your life, and today we're going to look to Isaiah chapter 6, and we're going to study when God called Isaiah the prophet and then we're going to draw some truth from it that I believe will help you pursue the call of God on your life, as well as see the call of God in your life, because there are many who are watching, I believe, who, in their hearts and their minds, they're battling and struggling to believe that God has called them. But I'm going to pray that that is done away with today, and we're going to believe God for breakthrough in your life, and we're going to believe that God is going to begin to use your life greatly from this day forward, so stay tuned for that, but right now, Stephen Mock is in with us, he's going to lead you first in some worship. As you were singing that song today, I pray that everything within you truly was surrendering to the will of God. We're going to look in Isaiah chapter 6, and we're going to look at the call of Isaiah, and I believe that as we read this story today, that God is going to begin to speak to you, because let me just say this right off the bat, and I want to do away with anything that's in your mind that the enemy may be assaulting you with, he may be lying to you, he may be telling you that you don't have a call on your life. Let me tell you something, if you are watching this video, if you can hear what I'm saying now, God has called you to do something for him, something very special that only you can do for the Lord. There is nobody else on this earth that can fulfill the destiny that God has placed on your life. You're the only one who can do what God has called you to do. You may look at your life and say, Lord, I don't have much, I don't have talent, I can't speak, I can't sing, I can't think of anything in particular, nothing specific comes to mind, I can't imagine what I might be able to do for your glory. I want you to know that God has given you something, God has placed something in your hand, and if nothing else, if you say I don't have any talent, but you say, God, I don't have any ability, you may not have talent, but you have time, you may not have talent in your mind anyway, but you have influence. God has given you something, and I like to say that your purpose is linked with your passion. In other words, if there is a passion that so burns in your heart, then I think it was a part of the plan that God has put for your life. When there is a passion to do something, when there is a passion to sing, when there is a passion to, let's just take for example the people working here, there are people here who have passion about working behind a camera. You just heard Stephen Mock the Zuma sing, you may have a passion to do worship, you see me teaching the word, you may have a passion to teach God's word, whatever it may be, it's not just limited to those things.  So let's just start off on the right foot and let's just get to the truth of the matter, that God has placed something within you, the enemy will fight you very hard on this, the enemy will work so hard to discourage you to tell you that there's nothing in you that you can do for God. But I want to tell you, I'm here to tell you the truth and the scripture says that God has given to each one a gift. Just go study 1st Corinthians chapter 12 and 1st Corinthians chapter 14, you're going to see that as a member of the body of Christ you serve a very specific, a very important and a very real purpose. You are not placed on this earth without a purpose. If there is breath within you, if there is a life within you, then there is purpose within you. So let's do away with the lies of the enemy. Now this isn't really a message about believing that there's a call of God on your life, but I don't believe in coincidence, it's not by accident that you're watching this video today because God has placed a call on your life. And let's look now to the scripture Isaiah chapter 6. As we look at the scripture in Isaiah chapter 6, you may find some things that as you begin to obey what the word of God says, as you begin to follow the example of Isaiah, you may start to see the call of God appearing more clearly before your eyes than ever before.  And you'll see sharp as can be an image of what God has called you to do. I believe it. Let's get into the word now. Isaiah chapter 6. This is what the scripture says. It was in the year King Uzziah died that I saw the Lord. He was sitting on a lofty throne, or the scripture in King James puts it high and lifted up. And the train of his robe filled the temple. Being him were mighty seraphim, each having six wings. With two wings they covered their faces. With two they covered their feet. And with two they flew. They were calling out to each other, holy, holy, holy, as the Lord of heaven's armies.  Verse 4 says, their voices shook the temple to its foundations. And the entire building was filled with smoke. Then I said, it's all over, I am doomed, for I am a sinful man.  Yet I have seen the king, the Lord of heaven's armies. Then one of the seraphim flew to me with the burning coal he had taken from the altar with a pair of tongs. He touched my lips, and it said, see, this coal has touched your lips. Now your guilt is removed, and your sins are forgiven. Verse 8, then I heard the Lord asking, whom should I send as a messenger to this people? Who will go for us? There's a reference to the Trinity right there. And I said, here I am, send me. Now there's so much in this entire chapter, and we're just going to get into the very specifics of what was just in the few verses that we read. First of all, the Scripture says that Isaiah saw the Lord in the year that King Uzziah had died. Now not only did he see the Lord in the year that King Uzziah had died, but Isaiah saw the Lord when he was working in the temple. So number one, Isaiah saw the Lord when he was working. Number one, you have to be active. You have to get to work. You have to start doing something. Many people are so afraid of doing something that's outside of the will of God that they end up doing nothing at all. And I believe it's a sort of charismatic superstition that we've begun to take on within ourselves where we say, well, I don't want to move outside the boundaries of what God has for me. I want to be in the perfect will of God, right? You've heard that before. I want to be in the perfect will of God. I don't want to do anything that's not God. That may be a good thing, but it's not a God thing. And the problem is that because we look for very specific instruction, because we wait to hear the voice from heaven or the clouds to open up, we wait for God to speak in a very specific manner. Because of that, we neglect the things that he has told us to do in his word. Now the Bible tells us some very specific things. People say, what's the will of God for my life? Well, the Bible is very clear on what the will of God for your life is.  The Bible tells us what the will of God is for every single person. In lifestyle, you're called to live holy. In purpose, you're called to worship. Every single one of us were created to love and worship God. That's our purpose. In ministry, you're called to spread the gospel. You say, well, I'm not a preacher. Well, it doesn't matter. You're called to spread the gospel with whatever gifts you have. Now this is where people get hung up. Because we know that in lifestyle, we're called to holiness. We know that in purpose, we're called to worship, we're called to love God. But we look to our specific task, we say, Lord, what do you want me to do specifically here on the earth? Well, whatever it takes to spread the gospel with what you have, that's what God's called you to do. Many of us, we wait around and we're hoping that God will get very specific with us, but the will of God is progressively revealed as you obey. As you begin to move out, you know, Paul, I believe it was Paul the Apostle who wanted to go to Asia, I believe it was, and he says that he wanted to go to certain regions in Asia and as he was journeying there, the Holy Spirit stopped him. You can count on the Holy Spirit stopping you in your tracks when you're on the move. But if you never move, you give the Lord nothing to correct. How can he correct your steps if you're not taking any? How can he give you instructions for the next step if you haven't taken the first step? Isaiah was at work, he was working in the temple, he was serving, he was dedicating his life, he was doing what he knew to do and then God revealed what he was to do next. Do what's before you and then instruction will come from the Lord. As you begin to do what you know to do, God will reveal what you don't know you should do. I don't know how many times it's happened to me. People will call me and because, especially because I have a television ministry, people call me all the time, evangelists, pastors, teachers, great people.  So I said, okay, sometimes if I feel right about it in my spirit, I'll go and meet with someone I've never met and go and have lunch with them and they'll go on about the message that God's laid on their heart and I always love to hear what God's doing with them. But then they get very direct and they'll say, well, I want to share this on your program. And sometimes, as you know, I've brought guests on the program, they'll sit in the chair across from me and I'll ask them questions and that's a God thing. It has to be built through relationship. I usually don't have people I don't know on the program. But as they're sitting in front of me, they'll either want to come on the program or they'll want connections, right? And me personally, this is just me personally, I don't like to look at ministry like it's political, I don't like political maneuvering or ladder climbing or networking for the sake of self-promotion. I don't like that, I can't do that. It's always just been very, I've always despised that sort of path of ministry because I don't believe it's the way the kingdom is to function. We're to serve one another. But every so often you get someone in front of you who's very ambitious and so they'll be sitting in front of me and they'll start asking for contacts, they want everything that you have, they want it laid out for them in a matter of weeks. I've had people sit in front of me, not realizing that it's taken almost 10 years to get to the point where we are now. And they'll say, how do we do what you're doing? Tell me what to do. You know, they'll pull out a note pad or who do I talk to about getting on TV? Where do I get cameras? You know, and I'm thinking in the back of my mind, this took years to do. I don't think it could be done in a couple of weeks. And what I love to tell somebody like that is I'll say, hey, listen, I have a connection for you. This person is very, very wealthy and they get really excited to start to lean in and they go, really?  So this person is very wealthy and very generous. That then I have their attention.  Not only that, this person has advised presidents and national leaders. This person is friends with what are they called? Type A celebrities. This person knows the influencers of the influencers. And then they get really excited. They go, wow, really? I say yes. Not only that, this person is one of the most popular personalities in the world. And I know him. And I go, really? And I can connect you with him. He can help you on your ministry. He's going to be able to do everything you need him to do. And as they're leaning in, they go, okay, who is it? I say, he's Jesus. And he's all you need to get to the next level. And at that point, usually they're somewhat disappointed, which I wonder why they are. And the truth of the matter comes into play. People don't want to take the next steps. They want to get right into doing the things that they see as the important things. But can I tell you something? The little acts of obedience that you take today right now are just as important as what people perceive to be the important things. Your daily personal obedience to the Lord is just as important as those things that men deem as esteemed or worthy of praise and on and on. But God doesn't think that way anyway. But those things that come before you every day that we neglect to do, that is what the Lord looks at when it comes to promoting you to your call.  When the opportunity rests within your local church, what about ushering at your church? What about volunteering in the children's ministry at your church?  Do you give in support? Then how can we expect others to support us if we're not supporting the call of God on others? The scripture says, he who refreshes shall himself be refreshed. Do you serve in the areas of the little things? Do you serve what men consider to be the least of these? If you don't, you're not ready to step into the next phase of ministry. Isaiah was willing to do the little things. The glory of God showed up on Isaiah's life when he was tending in the temple. I remember one of the first experiences I had with the glory of God. I've not shared this story very often, but many of you know I started in ministry, my first ministry, and I'm very proud to say, very happy to say, that it was flipping songs. I was the guy who, the words that come up on the screen during worship, I was the guy who pushed the button that brought the next song though. I did that for almost two or three years. But I remember as I was worshiping in the sound room and I was pushing the button on the computer screen and watching the words, making sure everything lined up with the worship, I was singing my heart out to God. I was worshiping, I said, Lord, every time I press this button, let it be an act of worship to you. And I valued that ministry so much. And I remember as I was doing it, the Lord told me, look, I just heard in my spirit, look. And as I'm turning my head, I saw what looked to be a white flame of fire. And in that white flame of fire, I saw the face of a lion. This is while I'm flipping songs. I saw the face of a lion in that flame. Now I'm not wanting to say I've seen things, that doesn't happen to me very often, but it was a very special moment in my life. And as I looked, the flame rushed toward me and it entered inside of me. And the Lord told me, I've put my fire inside of you. And since that moment, things began to change in my life. I began to tap into different realms of glory, but the Lord visited me. He touched my life as I was serving in the little things. I started to do something, stop waiting around. The big opportunity is never going to come if you don't serve in the little. I've heard people say things like, well, I want God to do something fast with me. I want God to do something special with me. And we have this, some people have this sense of entitlement as if, well, I'm special and I'm gonna have a call, my call is gonna come without hardly any work, without hardly any serving. It's just gonna happen for me and others are gonna do all the work for me. No, that is not how God works. In fact, his most anointed servants had to wait the longest. Moses was in the desert for 40 years. King David was tending sheep for who knows how long? Isaiah was serving in the little. He did not wait, he served in the little. Number two, it says it was in the year that King Uzziah had died. Prophets would serve the king. Prophets would inform the king. They were like advisors. In fact, it was amazing how some of the prophets were able to see in the chambers of the king's enemies. So he could tell by prophetic word, the king, what advancements in warfare the enemy was going to take. Can you imagine having a prophet that gifted as an advisor for your army? And he's telling them this is where the enemy is going to move. That's how prophets worked with kings. But the problem was that prophets focused their service on the kings. That was somewhat of a problem. God didn't show Isaiah his glory. God didn't call Isaiah to the next phase of his ministry until all of the kings had died. There's only one throne on your heart. And only one can sit on it. Jesus said, you can't serve two masters. You have to hate one and love the other or vice versa. Let me ask you something. Is it really Jesus who's on the throne of your heart? Is it really the master who's number one, your first love, your priority in all things? Or is it a spouse? Is it a child, maybe one of your sons or daughters? Is it family? Is it business? Is it work? Is it ministry itself? Is it your own ambition? I mean, these are things that often many people wrestle with, but in an even more sad case, something more trivial could take the place of your heart. Is it possible that entertainment has taken the place on the throne? Is it possible that the cares of this world have distracted you from the call of God that lay before you? Does Jesus sit on the throne of your heart? Have all other kings died? Maybe your emotions sit on the throne of your heart.    Maybe if it's not exciting, if it's not thrilling, if it's not entertaining, you don't bother. You know, not everything about ministry is glamorous, though sometimes it may appear that way from the outside looking in. What about hours of studying that go into a lesson like this? What about the trials you have to go through for the Lord to shape you? You know, the promises of God, they are yes and amen, but if God is going to mature a believer to stand at the place where they can be anointed by God, they have to go through some things. If you don't wanna grow, if you wanna stay in low levels of power, don't face any trials.  God's not going to give you a platform. God's not going to give you a voice. Look around you, what kind of influence do you have?  And I wanna encourage you that anybody, anybody at all, can give their heart to the Lord in fullness and come to the places of greater ministry. But it takes determination. You have to decide.  Maybe you serve him and you're saved. That's wonderful. Christians make it to heaven, but disciples make a difference. Your faith in God, your faith in what Jesus has done will save your soul, but your obedience to the call of God in your life will save the souls of others. I'm not concerned with just going to heaven. I wanna see how many I can possibly bring with me. God has called you to do something for the kingdom, but he's not going to reveal himself. You're not going to see his glory. You're not going to climb to greater levels of power. You're not in power of the Holy Spirit I'm talking about. You're not going to go to greater levels of influence. If you cannot be obedient with where you are and if you cannot surrender your all to Jesus, you have to make up in your mind now that he comes before anyone and anything no matter what. An odd story I have, and what's funny is some people might think it cruel, but it really helped to shape the way I view ministry. You know, my grandmother is a very spirit-filled woman of God. Her and my grandfather were missionaries to Russia. My grandfather almost died serving the Lord there in Russia. They faced so much hardship and they would bear the winters and they went later on in their years. They didn't wait until, I mean, they didn't do it early on. They waited until they were older and they responded to the call of God. And my grandmother one day was, I think it was sitting on the kitchen counter and she was feeding me something talking to me. I must have been five or six and I remember this vividly.  That's what she told me. And I said, I remember I just asked her something to the effect of do you love me more than you love Jesus?  But my grandmother, filled with the spirit and the word, she told me, she said, no, I love Jesus more than I love you. And I was surprised, I said, really? Because I knew how much my grandmother loved me and it didn't make me feel bad. It didn't make me feel rejected. It made me marvel at how much she loved Jesus because I realized she loved me a lot. And I thought, that's so amazing. I thought, do you love him more than you love my grandfather? And she said, yes, I love him more. And she says, you need to love Jesus more than you love me. You need to love Jesus more than you love your mom and your dad and your brother and sister. And I'll never forget that. I wasn't scarred, I wasn't, it didn't mess with my psychology. But I remember just marveling. I didn't look at her love for me as any less. I looked at her love for Jesus as much more. You don't have to love your family less than you do now. You don't have to love others less than you do now. You just have to love Jesus more than you love them. He has to be first. And if you're not willing to pay that price, you're not worthy. God will dismiss you from service if you're not willing to follow him with whole heart. That's the truth. That is the biblical truth. And I will not apologize for saying that. God will dismiss you from the call if you're not willing to put him first. You have to pay that price. You have to say, Lord, I'm coming after you and if need be, I'll forsake all and follow you. That's the truth. Now Isaiah also, the scripture says in verse two, it says, attending him were mighty seraphim, each having six wings with two wings, they covered their faces with two, they covered their feet and with two, they flew. They were calling out to each other, holy, holy, holy is the Lord of heaven's armies.  Their voices shook the temple to its foundations and the entire building was filled with smoke. Then I said, it's all over, I am doomed. For I am a sinful man, I have filthy lips and I live among a people with filthy lips yet I have seen the King, the Lord of heaven's armies. So number one, Isaiah attended to the little things. Number two, all other kings died in Isaiah's life. The Lord was on the throne of his heart. And number three, Isaiah allowed the Lord to cleanse his guilt. We read later of how the angels took a call from the altar, touched his lips and said, your guilt is gone, you're clean. But it's interesting to me that the first thing that Isaiah saw, and this is how we are, we're so self-absorbed that here is this spectacular celestial view before his eyes. He's catching a glimpse of the very glory of God. Angels are flying about the throne. They're speaking with such power that the very foundation of the building in which he is serving is shaken. And he looks at himself. All of this wonderful power displayed before his eyes and he sees the train of God's robe. Think about this, as large as those temples were, the temple was very large, but God was so large that the largeness of the temple was only able to allow for a glimpse of the train of his robe, the end of his robe. And in the middle of seeing all of this, Isaiah looks at himself. Isn't that so much like us? That here God offers the power with his word. He offers his truth. He offers his Holy Spirit. The scripture promises that when you go, it's not gonna be you speaking. It's gonna be the Holy Spirit that speaks through you. It says that when you go and lay hands on the sick, they shall recover, that God has given you power to cast out devils, that God has given you the words to speak, that God has given you the ability to open the eyes of the blind, the ears of the deaf. He's given you instruction. He's given you love. He's given you demonstration. His spirit goes with you. And his angels guard you. And he puts his seal of approval on you and all we can look at ourselves and say, Lord, I can't. I'm not able. Why? Because Isaiah looked at himself. Next, Isaiah had to look to God and stop looking at himself. He says, I love the way the King James puts it. He says, well, it was me for I am a man of unclean lips and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips. He says, whoa, it was me, I'm undone. And I love that the Lord doesn't even respond. God doesn't even respond to his excuse. Instead, the angel, knowing the nature of God, God didn't tell the angel, go get the call. The angel just did it, because the angel kind of knew, well, this is the nature of God. He gets, he says, here, you're cleansed. You're guilt is gone. Stop looking at yourself. Stop looking at your ability. It's not in your ability anyway. Can I just tell you something? Can I, if I'm just being open and honest with you, you come to my service, my miracle services. Some of you have been there and you'll see that people have come from all over the world. Some people will be on 14 hour flights to be in one service for two hours, turn right back around and go home.  They do not come all that way to hear me preach. Why, especially because they can just hear it online. I would, me personally, I wouldn't drive more than a half an hour to go hear me preach, personally. You look at the ministry and you see me teach. They're good lessons because they're given by the Holy Spirit, but I'm not a spectacular teacher. You look at me, there may be some charisma about me, but that's not my charisma. That's the Holy Spirit's charisma.  People don't come to my services to hear me preach, to meet me, to listen to my teachings. They come because the presence of the Holy Spirit is there. I can't heal a single person. People of God, I couldn't heal a headache if it was up to me. The only thing that is special about me, the only thing that is unique or compelling or magnetic or charismatic is the Holy Spirit. He is all that is charismatic about me. He is all that is powerful about me. Other than that, I'm a broken undone man, just like Isaiah. But do you know why I can go forward and preach the gospel to you on camera and in front of thousands at Miracle Services? Do you know why I can do that? It's because I don't look at me. I look at Jesus. It's not in my ability to heal anyone. It's not in my ability to set anyone free. It's him and him alone. I couldn't build this ministry if I tried. People say, what's the secret? What's the secret? How do you succeed in TV? All that, I don't know. All I can tell you, and this is the honest truth, before men and before God, all I can tell you is I've obeyed Jesus. I've looked to him and I've stopped looking at myself. If I look at myself and how I am, I'll get really discouraged really fast. I'll say, Lord, I shouldn't, I don't have the ability to minister. I don't have the ability to teach. All of that. It's all him. He's the one. And God can do the same with you. Isaiah looked at himself. It isn't that funny that in the middle of everything that God is doing, in the middle of everything that God promises, we look at ourselves and go, oh, I'm undone, I can't do it. That's what Isaiah did. But don't be discouraged. That's a common mistake. It's a human reaction. And sometimes we look at our flaws and we think that the more aware we become of our flaws, the further we're moving away from God. But I want to encourage you. The more aware you become of your flaws, the more you start to realize all these things that need fixing, it means you're moving deeper. It means you're drawing closer. My wife and I were married just a few months ago. I can guarantee you, she's more aware of my flaws now than she was when we were dating. But it's because we're getting closer. It's because we're becoming one. It's because I'm starting to weed those things out. And I let the Lord work on me. The same thing with the Lord. As we draw closer then we'll start to see more things. King David prayed, I love the way King David prayed. He said this, he said, Lord, do you see anything in me you don't like? Remove it. And he opened himself to the eyes of God and said, Lord, remove it all. Don't look to yourself. So Isaiah, number one, he did the little things and he took care of the small. He served it and he was faithful in the little. Number two, he didn't let, I mean, this is what happened. All of the kings had died. Number three, eventually after he was cleansed, he looked to God, not himself. And on that point, still on that point, I find it interesting that the very thing, I pray this sets some of you free, hear what I'm saying. Listen, if you hear anything at all about the call of God, listen to what I'm saying right now, listen, listen. He says this, he says, I'm a man of unclean lips. And then he becomes a prophet.  The very thing that you thought disqualified you from ministry is the very thing God wants to use. I want you to think about that, let that settle in. The very thing that you thought disqualified you from ministry is the very thing that God will use. Isaiah said my mouth disqualifies me and God says let me use it, why? The scripture says when we are weak, then he is strong. Worst sin abound, grace much more abounds. Why? Why? So that no flesh can glory in his presence. Do you know why God uses me to stir people's faith? Because I'm a doubter. I was a Thomas. I'm the type of guy who says, Lord, I have to touch the scars. Because I was so full of fear and so full of doubt, the faith of God can come alive within me and see miraculous signs and wonders. God uses me in the area of faith because I was so weak as a doubter. And now the very thing that I thought would disqualify me, God turned it around, filled it and he uses it now and he wants to do the same with you. And then finally, the scripture says, the Lord says, who will go for us? Whom shall I send? Who will go for us? And Isaiah the prophet responds. I love the way the King James puts it so politically. Hear my Lord, send me. You notice God didn't ask Isaiah directly to go for him. He put out the call just like Jesus. The harvest is plentiful. I hope the laborers are few. There are people right now ready to hear the gospel but there are so few who are preaching it. It was funny is that Jesus says, pray therefore to the Lord of harvest. He would send workers and then the disciples pray, the Lord sent workers and then they went. Because when you pray for a problem, God will often send you as the solution. If you pray for a hurting world, God will send you as healing.  If you pray for a deceived world, God will send you as truth.  That's why Jesus told the disciples, pray to the Lord of the harvest that he would send workers because he knew as they prayed, they'd be moved to action. As you pray, you'll be moved to action. But the Lord said, whom shall I send? I almost would have been offended if I was Isaiah because he was the only one in the temple, the only human in the temple anyway. The angels, they're already in use, they're worshiping God. And so imagine, here's Isaiah, this dramatic display, this dramatic heavenly display before his eyes. He's the only one standing in the temple alone and trembling and God kind of looks around and says, who am I gonna send? Why? Because God wants you to make the move. Jeremiah chapter 29 verse 13 I believe says that if you seek him with all your heart, you will find him. James chapter four verse seven says, draw near to God and he will draw near to you. He puts the initiation on you. God's already sent his son. God's already given us very clear instruction through the word. He's already given us very clear instruction through the word. But he's waiting on you now to respond. It's on you. You have to step out in faith. You have to take that step of faith and move. I wanna pray for you. Any one of these points touch your heart concerning the call of God. I believe that it's time to take that step. Without faith, it is impossible to please God. Take that step of faith now.

Here we are folks on the seasonal update to my anime binging slash watching of course we're reviewing another season when it comes to anime broadcast this time spring 2020 let's do this Welcome back to the channel geo here and yeah if you've been following my channel for a while you know that I've basically condensed all the shows that I'm watching with the broadcasts and stuff and at the end of each season I like to make one video talking about these titles now on occasions I like to you know make longer detailed videos on a couple series but for the most part I'll group everything together saves me some time because again this channel is a little bit all over the place because I like to talk about manga and comic books as well so works out for the best I think but if you want me to review a specific series from the ones I'm going to mention in this episode please let me know in the comment section down below I'm already working on some videos for shows that aired so maybe they'll coincide who knows but let's stop talking about technical stuff let's get into the anime watching I have a list on my computer here so I'm going to be looking at that list because I can't remember all the names off the top of my head but regardless I did catch a lot of shows some of them were postponed because of the pandemic and they're now just coming back as of the recording of this video so it's to be continued of sorts and you'll eventually see my full review for them at the end of the summer 2020 season anime season but let's start the first one on my list is kaguya sama love is war the second season much much better than season one even though I'd loved that first season the series as a whole this was better written funnier just all around just better in execution the animation and all the technical things that they were able to pull off with that series is just amazing at several points literally they were just flexing their muscles at what they can do I really do suggest watching kaguya sama and while I'd loved season one season two really made me a fan of the series as a whole and I cannot wait for season three because we did get that to be continued at the end and obviously the manga is still ongoing so I'm very much looking forward to season three and I like that they're a short burst of 12 episodes much more concise and you can get a lot more done than just you know prolonging a season out with more than 20 something episodes or 24 episodes the much anticipated tower of god I made an anime impressions video on it and I am very much looking forward to making a full review of that season and I will be going forward and reading the manwa the original webtoon because I I loved the show and a lot of people were complaining online oh they packed too much stuff in it was overly crowded with information yeah and at some points even I got a little bit lost with some of the terminology in worldbuilding because it's a new series and I wasn't accustomed to everything that was happening but I still enjoyed what I was watching it really gave off great uh battle shonen vibes and reminded me of stuff like hunter hunter when it's worldbuilding obviously with more seasons you can fully expand on these terms and sort of you know flesh out the characters and the settings and the rules and all that stuff but what we did get with the season I loved it the animation is wonderful the story is pretty exciting and even though it goes into the battle shonen battle royale type of trope it's still fun man plus the character of bomb I just think he is wholesome and I wish him the best going forward with the series I cannot wait to see if we get season two next year or the following one I I don't know but hopefully it does come out soon because I I had loved it so much the late near I really wanted to like the late near the concept is intriguing enough where you have these characters turning through some magical thingamajig and they turn with different sorts of abilities the protagonist turns into this giant bear like like a giant stuffed toy and he's able to fight and he's oh he opens his zipper in the back and another person can climb in and enhance his fighting abilities all that stuff it's a kooky concept with aliens and collectible coins and a lot of angsty people but at the same time the show or the original story has like three different stories and they're all going off at the same time and I simply did not care for a bunch of the characters in the show unfortunately I really wanted to like it because it sounds really cool the animations lovely at first but then I just kind of got kind of bored by it to be completely honest with you the ending was nice but the whole plot with the main character just left more to be desired plus the usage of fan service I thought was pretty for me I'm not I'll be completely honest with you guys I'm not opposed to some clever fan service but in this show I thought it was just kind of what are you doing I mean plus I love that this aired on streaming platforms in North America but certain other series like interspecies reviewers no you can't air that because it has sexual stuff okay next up I continued fruit basket I've loved season one last year so here we have the second season the first 12 episodes the series obviously continues because it's going to air for another 24 episodes total I loved it the animation dips in quality and the story sort of neanders a little bit and it gets a little repetitive at times with the drama but it's still great wholesome and emotional at times and you care for these characters and the things that they're going through so I really do enjoy fruits basket this uh closer adaptation to the manga is so cool to me I'd love it my next life as a villainous one of the surprise hits in my honest opinion for 2020 a very wholesome show that not a lot of people saw coming you know having the concept of an otome game I hope I said that right mixed within isekai and the characters subverting expectations and it did not rely on fan service whatsoever instead it relied on wholesome characters becoming friends and equal opportunity when it comes to romance which I thought was rare and kind of cool that the lead is a female and she has all these wonderful friends who love and admire her but she's she's likeable and she's doing everything possible to survive this world because she has been sort of reincarnated in this her favorite dating sim game and she's trying to survive it which I thought was pretty different from the other isekai because you see one isekai everything else is pretty much the same you just change it's a different coat of paint basically but for this I liked it I thought it was pretty wholesome charming and one of the best opening theme songs of the season has to go to that show I love that song next up we've got sing yesterday to me okay I've mentioned before that I love slice of life and drama and romance and all that savvy stuff I love it I love well written dramas and sing yesterday to me showed a lot of promise when I started watching it the animation is masterful in my opinion the way the character designs work within the backgrounds and the way the actual backgrounds look it's just a list material in my honest opinion and you're following the story of these four characters and their love romantic situations and how they go about it it can be a little bit frustrating but then again we know people like that which for me makes it relatable and I definitely saw myself in a few of the characters in the emotional aspect and their views on romance and the things that they're saying and doing it's not going to be for everybody because it's a very slow paced burn but I think it's a great show for adults to enjoy if you just want a a romance drama with a character that doesn't really know what he's doing doesn't know all the answers because he's in he just graduated college he's not really working and instead just doing a part-time 7-11 gig you know it really rings home to a certain demographic and especially if you grew up in the 90s and a lot of the insecurities and the personalities of that era are pretty well transmitted into this show some say the ending was a little bit rushed and I could see that I haven't read the manga I don't know the differences between the two but I could see how rushed everything was at the finale and I think giving it an extra episode might have really helped because the conclusion of something major that happens in episode 12 the first half could have easily been drawn out through the entire episode and you would have dedicated a final 13th episode to solving the main question of the series and giving us a conclusion of sorts everything was jam-packed some of the some of the decisions that these characters make don't entirely make sense but then again kind of reflects real life and that people that we know don't really make a lot of sense and we kind of make dumb decisions from time to time next up apari ranman I made a first impressions video and unfortunately I cannot give you my thoughts in the series because it was postponed because of the pandemic we only got three episodes episode four hasn't aired as of this recording it will be back for the summer 2020 season next up we've got unlimited budget millionaire detective I like this a lot I made another first impressions video on it I really enjoyed what I watched I think it was the first two episodes again it was postponed and it will come back for the summer 2020 season and while I'm at it I'm just going to give you the list of titles that were postponed that I was watching you had digimon adventure which actually as of this recording came back so I was able to watch episode four and I've been really enjoying this reimagining reboot of the first season of digimon diary of our days at the breakwater a wholesome slice of life anime about these girls in a fishing club at their high school and it's all about fishing and enjoying life and the process and the scenery looks beautiful and the fish really cute stuff I like it tamayomi so in response to that I switched things around I was so disappointed so hyped when that show first began and then I saw what you're seeing now and I was just devastated and I said you know what I'm going to switch things out with a much better show that I've been meaning to watch and that is ace of the diamond I finished the first season the first 75 episodes and it is fantastic one of my favorite sports show ever you get all the highs and all the lows all the competitive nature of high school baseball wonderful characters that actually grow as the series progresses and it's just a roller coaster of emotions and you know you're you're at this high with these characters and when stuff happens you feel it and it got really intense where I'm on the edge of my freaking seed watching a qualifier tournament match to see if the characters are going to go to the freaking nationals it's it's intense I love it the protagonist is a silly wacky and a breath of fresh air yes he can be quite annoying at times but that is part of the charm I guess so I am very much looking forward to continuing my journey with season two and then with the second series so yay me another hundred episodes to go another show that I was watching and it wasn't it wasn't postponed I just stopped watching was a Sakura Wars the animation it looks interesting I like that it's based off the it's a continuation of the new video game and it's it has artwork from tight google that's wonderful and you can pretty much watch it on its own and enjoy it but I do feel that if you play the video games you're going to take so much more out of it because I was watching it and by the fourth episode I will be completely honest with you guys I didn't know what was happening and I was a little bit bored by it so I dropped it don't come at me I just thought it was a little bit boring gal and dino I made a first impressions video this is the underrated series out of all of this mess that I'm talking about it's so unique and so cleverly written and and just bizarre humor there are scenes where I cannot comprehend what they're aiming for with the humor but I'm still laughing anyways because it's freaking genius I love the usage of animation styles you got your stop motion or claymation you've got traditional animation and it switches to live action stuff the live action stuff doesn't make sense at times it goes into different multiverse realities this show is insane in all the best way possible and I was so sad that I got postponed we got like eight episodes in out of I think it was going to be 12 or 13 episodes so I'm very much looking forward to seeing the rest of the story and see how it plays out especially the live action stuff because at the beginning we sort of get like this groundhog day type storyline and then it goes off into weirder territory the thing with the comedian stand-up routines go watch it go watch my first impressions video where I showed some pictures and talked a little bit about it it's it's a really interesting show I love it for that reason alone uh next up on my list we got art which means art this is a very cool show I love the premise when I first heard about it this girl in 16th century Florence she wants to be a painter obviously she has a very steep hill to climb because of you know 16th century Florence you've got uh sexism you've got racism you've got discrimination poverty there are a lot of obstacles to overcome in that time life expectancy but of course this is the anime version of the renaissance period so it's going to be really odd to hear characters speaking in japanese talking about uh european stuff and italian and I I'd like I'd love that is a wonderful wholesome character breath of fresh air she's just so bubbly and joyous and a beautiful character but uh yeah in my head this is an alternate reality an alternate take on the history that we know from that time period because a lot of the things that happen in that series I don't think would have happened in real life unfortunately but still if you want a nice slow-paced slice of life I do recommend art it's always a breath of fresh air when I was watching a new episode it was very it was a very relaxing series especially with the vistas and the characters and the you know them recreating the art styles the paintings and the architecture just really cool on their part listeners boy I was really excited when I first started watching it I made a first impressions video on that thing and if you watch my series review it goes south pretty quickly because listeners I'd love Studio Mappa don't get me wrong but I don't know what happened in that series because halfway through the end I had no idea what was happening they were literally skipping seasons of character progression and story arcs just to cram it in a final 22 minute episode it's insane I love the artwork it's beautiful the voice acting is superb Rie Takahashi she's she's uh she's one of my idols I love her but my god I mean she did a great job but the characters in this really needed some work they really needed some fine-tuning and I apologize if you were a big fan of listeners I love the execution and the themes and the story because they're written by Daisato but holy moly they really needed to work that out and be a longer show another series that I was continuing was Black Clover which was almost close to catching up to the manga it was always like four five three six chapters behind the manga and it got past the elves and it went into the new kingdoms and the the the incoming war and all that stuff really awesome stuff I love Black Clover I've reviewed the first half of the series if you want to check it out on this channel and unfortunately it was postponed as well but it is coming back as of this video next up you've got Princess Connect Redive I had no idea what this series was about I just knew that it looked pretty it looked interesting and funny and it's from the same director as Konosuba me being such a fan of Konosuba I immediately wanted to check it out and yeah it's sort of a reskinned version of that show but it's still really quirky and funny it's not the same type of comedy this is a lot tamer in comparison but it's still a fun series that I do recommend if you like Konosuba and instead of adventuring we get cute characters on a gourmet guild quest adventure if that makes sense wave listen to me my other favorite of the season finally an anime based on a manga about radio what's not to love the character of Minari is wonderful she's great spontaneous and just a bundle of energy and it's such a quirky awesome story that could and definitely one of the best of the seasons in my honest opinion next up on the list is BNA brand new animal I will tell you right now 2020 this will be on my list for best anime of the year it is fantastic I've made two videos on this series if you want to check them out I absolutely loved it from the characters to the setting to the art to the music everything about it just a list material in my opinion I love Trigger and all their work is just fabulous and this wasn't the exception Michiru is easily one of my favorite protagonist in quite some time and I cannot wait for one day to own it on blu-ray if that ever happens Kakushigoto Kakushigoto I don't know how you pronounce it but it was wholesome AF I'd love the series so much and what it did having read the concept behind the manga I was a little bit skeptical because it doesn't sound like it could be wholesome when I tell you oh you've got this mangaka who draws a pervy adult manga and he's trying to hide it from his kid so she doesn't find out what he does for a living so he's lying and making of excuses that he's this big shot at a corporation it sounds odd but once you start watching it's so endearing sweet wholesome and it has a ton of heart with really funny characters Hime is one of the most precious things of 2020 in my honest opinion and I wholeheartedly recommend Kakushigoto however you pronounce that word it's a fantastic anime and easily one of the best ones of the year in my honest opinion calling it now when you've got the mangaka saying hey ignore my manga because I didn't know the anime could really make something precious out of a story I made go watch that instead you know you're in for a treat at 12 episodes it's it's the right length and it hits you in the fields multiple times and it has such a bittersweet happy interesting ending that I hope they can somehow work in a movie I don't know if there's material enough to do another season but maybe a movie or something I would like to see a little bit more just a tiny bit more of this world in this story I usually like to do I watch all the new stuff that interests me as much as possible for you guys and then I go back and sprinkle throughout my viewing sessions older shows so I finally caught up with the rezero ova's I hadn't watched them they were up on crunchy roll really cool stuff I really loved them and I'm even hyped more hyped for season two we were supposed to get it for spring but it got postponed to summer so we're just about to start that and I'm so excited for season two but yeah the ova's are fantastic if you love the characters you're gonna love what you're seeing there another series I started watching was drop kick on my devil season one which is pretty funny it reminded me of gabriel dropout it has that style of humor and we'll see because there's a season two it's a little formulaic but that's sort of the charm behind it so I'm very much looking forward to catching up on that as for blue rays I started watching finally continuing my viewing of space brothers which is awesome and I'm also I'm almost caught up with overlord I'm on season three so I'm very interested in finishing those out so I can give you guys proper reviews on the series which I plan to do on the channel which leads me into sort of the next segment on this anime video the future when it comes to this channel and anime I want to keep a healthy balance between the anime that I watch and review with the manga that I talk about and the graphic novels slash comic books that I talk about on the channel I just love all three so much that I can't make separate channels for the three subjects so I'm mashing them all in together so if you want me to review any of the anime that I've mentioned on my videos on my seasonal reviews please let me know in the comment section below I will happily do so I used to do sort of previews for the seasons of the stuff I was going to watch but I'm somebody that wants these videos to stick around and not lose their worth because after the season airs the stream or the episode that I upload talking about previews sort of loses its value or meaning and I want them to have a life beyond the immediate
