So was I just supposed to randomly learn about the Mayonaka Punch web exclusives myself or...?
(as of Aug 12th) There's 3 fully animated videos up on the Kadokawa Youtube and they seem to be framed as in-universe videos made by the girls for the MayoPan channel with some non-diegetic/BtS at the end of them chatting while the credits roll incorporated into whatever they're doing (getting ready for edit, texting, whatever)

There's no translation (or even proper subtitles) and I can't seem to dig up any fan translations anywhere either.
Because the lack of subtitles I can't even go threw and attempt to piece together dialogue with Google Translate (Youtube's auto-generated captions were already bad enough in English but in JP? and then being put threw Google Translate? It's basically incomprehensible)
EDIT 2: THERE'S PROPER SUBTITLES NOW (Except for Tokage's vid still sadly) and a new solo Fu vid (also posted about it when it dropped)
EDIT: After writing this all I just realized there's actually a site set up to look like the in-universe NewTube Channel with embeds of all the MayoPan videos on the Kadokawa Youtube, it's so clean and organized it even transitions to a mobile friendly interface when the window is too thin.
I've just been sitting here resizing the page, god I wish Youtube actually formatted this cleanly.
Paolo from Tokyo did a [video](https://youtu.be/UCPZzEbhNJw?si=jQNEE8gX9YB7Y3IW) last week going behind the scenes with the director of the show and showing how they made Mayopan if anyone’s interested! It was cool seeing one of my faves this season get love from a massive channel!
As for this episode, another surprisingly emotional one! Gained a newfound appreciation for Ichiko as a character! Used to think she was just a silly comic relief character and turns out she’s one of the most thoughtful and considerate people in the show! Making meals for everyone for all this time even though they don’t need to eat, but just to feel that sense of family and community and keep her connected to what was forcibly taken from her.. she’s such a pure angel and deserves the world.
Definitely deserves better than Tokage dumbass destroying the walls and forcing them out the mansion.. it may have just been a place for Tokage, Live and Fu but it’s so much more than that to Ichiko. It’s a place where she found her new family.
It’s good that Mother is pretty compassionate in her own way. Giving the girls 6 months to hit 1 mil is better than nothing and just acts as a motivation to lock in and make some good content. Can’t wait to see what they cook up.
While rightfully hailed as Brat summer, we should also acknowledge this season of 2024 as vamp summer: The fleeting era when we witnessed the mlm-wlw solidarity of a Gothic bishounen vampire polycule stumbling their way through childcare and criminal investigations and a chaotic household of sapphic vampire YouTubers, one of whom is physiologically and romantically thirsty for their demanding, self-centered, problematic human manager.
