The Pedantic Romantic's Patreon Introduction
I've made the "Safe" but perhaps foolish decision to pursue a college educcation. Throughout my life my grades hae been the only thing that could be called "top-tier," b ut now i"ve added videos to that short list, and those are a hell of a lot more personally satisfying and rewarding.  This semester I am officially taking a "leave of absence," looking to see how much of an audience and patron base I can build up in an attempt to determine how viable this can be.  I am slated to return to classes this spring, but hopefully with your support I can make enough money off of this to say "no, dad, I should totally drop out of college to post videos about anime to the Internet."  There's no way I can stop making these things now; I'm addicted, but with your help I can make them bigger, better, and faster.

Tier Reward Goals

 * 1) $1 or more per video
 * 2) The knowledge that you're helping to make the critical landscape of Youtube just that little bit better, along with being featured in a credits screen at the end of each video.
 * 3) $3 or more per video
 * 4) Access to The Pedantic Romantic retrospective series.  I think a lot about media, and I think even more about myself, so of course, I put a lot of thought into my own media.  I'll do a short write-up of my thoughts on each of my videos looking back on them interesting production stories, regrets, any little tidbits about them that have crossed my mind.  (includes previous reward tier)
 * 5) $5 or more per video
 * 6) For the low-low price of an overpriced coffee you'll be featured at the end of my videos with a verbal shout out commending you for going above and beyond the call of patronage.  (includes previous reward tiers)
 * 7) $20 or more per video
 * 8) You make a request; I'll sate ya request.  If you've got a film, short film, OVA series, basically anything under 3 hours or so that you'd like me to cover I'll check it out and make a video on it.  There's room here for you to request that I cover specific aspects of it, but it will ultimately come down to me having something of merit to say about them.  I will not take on more than two requests in a month because I want to continue producing original content alongside them.  (includes previous reward tiers)
 * 9) $30 or more per video
 * 10) I've got some more time for you if you're ponying up this kind of green.  Give me the one cour (~11-13 episode) anime you'd like to see covered and I'll set my analytical sights on it.  I will not take on more than two requests in a month because I want to continue producing original content alongside them.  (includes previous reward tiers $10 and under)
 * 11) $50 or more per video
 * 12) $40 is enough to afford my dual-cour (~24-26 episode) analyzer.  I'll make a video on a lengthier series of your choosing.  I will not take on more than two requests in a month because I want to continue producing original content alongside them. (includes previous tier rewards $10 and under)
