Like I mentioned I took a brake for a few reasons. I got sick, I was busy with other projects and I also wasn't sure if I should make anything related to the studios that where getting striked. I feeling better and now that the strikes are over I want to release more episodes again. I started a discord server so please join and we can talk about animation history.

Toei Animation Union
Season 1 · Episode 25

This was super interesting to look into. I had no idea that they had a union until now. I do hope that they gain some power and they improve the working conditions. We need artist to be happy and healthy so that they can make great art for us to enjoy.
It does seem that the VFX team behind the marvel movies has voted to unionize. I defiantly would have mentioned that in this episode but I had already finished it before I heard. I wish them the best of luck.
