Awesome. Look forward to this.

Jim McGeehin

This is going to be great! If we ever get the chance to nominate, I hope we can look at the Second Battle of Mag Tuireadh and the saga of Lugh the Long-Handed.

Tiberia Prima

Oh yes. Yes. Yes, I think this is going to be a lot of fun, indeed :>

Tyndel

I really do hope we reach this next milestone because it sounds awesome! :)

You're already an honest woman. Don't let the world get you down!

Laura Galm

Extra Credits you just what I need to hear at the end of the week. When you going to put a ring on my finger and make me an honest woman?

Extra History

See, picking out the mythology focus is James's job. 8-) I just fact-check as best I can and sit back to enjoy the pretty pictures.

Extra History

Right now we're leaning towards one specific mythology theme (i.e. one story carried out over four episodes) but if we get down to writing it and find that the tale we have in mind doesn't fill four episodes on its own, then we'll do another legend or two to fill out the space!

Joshua Kristoff

I didn't have a clear understanding but is this going to be four episodes on one specific mythology theme like your normal series or four individual, and different mythology stories like some of the one shots you do?

Joshua Kristoff

I just have a lot of faith in you. You do great work. I don't envy having to pick out what one part of mythology your going to focus on though lol. I'll be happy either way but that'll be a fun comments section to read. Super excited for the next history video though.

FizzPlease

Definitely good imho! And boy, the artwork will be fun too :D

Extra History

I'll take it!

Gabriel Veiga

Then my work here is done :)

At a bear minimum, you done interesting - which is what Extra Credits has always been good at.

Extra History

Making it a regular series is more complicated than just "how much money." We've been growing our staff and infrastructure, but right now we just have enough to handle two full animated series, light editing (which we use for Extra Play), and the occasional one-off (like this or the sponsored series). If we were going to make a third fully animated series like Extra Mythology, we would have to increase our current staff by 50% at least - and that's not something you can just throw money at, because we would also need to find the right people and make time to train them and get them settled. Long story short, adding a full animated show like Extra Mythology is an order of magnitude more complicated than anything we've ever done so far (including launch Extra History as a second show). We still want to do it, but it's going to take a lot of time and nurturing to get ourselves in the right place. So please think of this little milestone as our way of giving you as much Extra Mythology as we possibly can right now, and not as a sign of things to come.

Extra History

We done good?

Extra History

I'm a bit reluctant to have a one-off series also be a collaboration BUT I like mythology storytellers so I'm gonna go check out her work. :D

Joshua Kristoff

The more important question is how much money do you need per month to MAKE it a regular series lo. Now that the flood gates are open, you can't close them again.

Gabriel Veiga

This is a great idea! For these episodes, or perhaps for future ones, might I suggest a potential collaboration with Dael Kingsmill? She's a brilliant mythology vlogger/storyteller: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/MonarchsFactory" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/user/MonarchsFactory</a>
