I echo the concerns raised by all the above. I think we should engage with them on this and make proper scripts for them, with guides on how to pronounce names and what terms to use etc. Ideally actual Bleach fans would voice the vids. Or at least someone who could act like they are interested in what they are saying.

I didn't know whether to laugh or cry at the fact they used manga scans in Isshin's video plastered with Mangapanda's watermark! So embarrassing. Fandom, a legit company that has copyright rules we are all expected to obey, using illegal pirate scans of mangapanda when legal alternatives are there. Surprisingly unprofessional of them.

I liked the idea of the vids when I first heard about them, but imo they haven't lived up to the potential they had and are instead quite a let down. They did this so they could put ads on the videos and charge sponsors more for them, in return cutting down on the number of static ads on our pages, which would have been good. But the implementation of it leaves a lot to be desired.

I wonder should we just go ahead and make a few samples, say about Isshin, Ichigo and send them to Fandom to show how much better they could be? Rather than trying to argue it through special:contact, some actual vids they could compare to their own efforts might go a lot further in convincing them and then go from there. I think that would be a good way to engage with them on this.
