The Raven vs Twilight Death Battle didn't shock me with the outcome, but it didn't really make sense to have them fight at all. I feel like, if they had to fight at all, they would end up stopping the fight and realizing it was stupid. The two of them have similar personalities and are even voiced by the same person (Tara Strong, but not in this). They'd probably just end up having a discussion over tea or something. If they were going to keep the Teen Titans Go! aspect of Raven playing with pony figurines, then she shouldn't have gotten defensive about it when she suddenly found herself in Twilight's library (although Twilight was not among her figurines). If anything, Twilight should've asked (as she would) about her having the figurines in the first place. And Raven certainly wouldn't have set the books on fire. Speaking of TTG, I was pleasantly surprised (though a little put off since it's still TTG) by Cree Summer voicing the gender-bent version of Beast Boy.
I found out there was a prologue to the Cardcaptor Sakura: Clear Card anime that closely followed the end of the manga and differed a lot from the final episode of season two of the original anime. I also found out there was another dub of Cardcaptor Sakura, possibly by one of the same companies that dubbed DBZ atrociously (seriously, I think the same actress might voice Chi-Chi and Meilin). It's equally bad, though the dub I grew up with wasn't exactly perfect and was far from complete.
I've been so busy lately forgot about Year of the Dog.

Also I cobbled these together just for fun (emphasis on cobbled).

Top 10 Random Encounters Musicals
Honorable Mention: Bendy and the Ink Musical
They worked really hard on this one due to all the stop motion. It's really impressive and pretty catchy.
10-Friday the 13th the Musical
It's short, but given the horror tropes and gameplay references, this was pretty funny. It has a great melody too.
9-Kindergarten the Musical
With all the roles played by AJ, it's hard to pick a stand-out. Nugget has the best lines, though. "Nugget says no!"/"Throw her in the Nugget Cave."
8-Finding Mr. Midnight (Fran Bow the Musical)
I like SparrowRayne's voice. I like the game's atmosphere as well.
7-Muffins the Musical (A Derpy Hooves Song)
While kind of dumb, this one's upbeat and cheery and made my day the first time I saw the video.
6-Go Go Pokemon Go!/Pokemon Go! in Real Life
Out of all the Pokemon Go! music videos I've seen, these are the best. It also serves as a wonderful culmination of all previous Pokemon musical numbers starring Peter as the trainer.
5-Phoenix Wright the Musical (supercut)
Originally a three-parter, this set of videos and later supercut video retell the Turnabout Storm storyline in a very entertaining way. I especially like Miles' line toward the end, "Answer the question or my sister will beat you." Another outstanding performance by SparrowRayne.
4-What's in Your Basement?/Up on My Housetop (Hello Neighbor the Musical)
It's too bad the final game didn't live up to the hype or these videos. First it's AJ trying to get into the neighbor's house (even dressing up like a Girl Scout to do so), then Santa. I like how the neighbor (played marvelously by Peter) tells them both off, which lines such as "I will put you in the ground" and "Kiss my rear!" respectively. A poker game with the likes of Bonnie Bunny, Strong Bad, and The Beard was a better twist than the one we got.
3-Just Monika (A Doki Doki Literature Club Song)
The newest one as of this post, but it somehow put me in a better mood that day. Just shy of the number two spot (though for a very similar reason), this takes the number three spot due to its sweetness and insanity. I like the twist at the end where Monika is wiped from existence and it becomes "Just Sayori" (as it should be).
2-Senpai Notice Me (A Yandere Simulator Song)
Monika may be a monster, but Ayano is the OG. If this game were an anime, I'd watch the hell out of it. This song, performed by SparrowRayne, illustrates the lengths to which one lovesick girl is ready to go to eliminate the competition. Info-chan and Kuu Dere as the Yandere Posse was a nice touch, also. Too bad Nate as the Senpai didn't get to sing, though he did get to speak.
1-FNAF the Musical (supercut)/Blood and Tears (Sister Location)
It really wasn't going to be anything else. The odd-numbered parts were my favorite out of the original five-part series. SparrowRayne was great as Baby, even if she hated the series and was absolutely giddy when they got to tear down the set, which was dominating their house. Mark and Nate were the unnamed guards and AJ was the hapless purple guy, which is weird now since we didn't know anything about the Aftons at the time.
Maybe someday they'll do a Life is Strange the Musical, or at least FNAF 6.

You've Got to be Kidding Me
At first I wasn't worried when I heard that Dunkin Donuts was scaling back their menu since I don't get anything fancy, but I was wrong. I'm not sure if it was left up to individual owners, but the one closest to my apartment only has a choice of plain or everything bagels (as far as bagels go), and one of them just ran out. Granted, this is a 24-hour location and they're always running out of things anyway, but there's barely anything there anymore. I'll have to check other locations along my route, but I'm surprised they went that far. They didn't have white hot chocolate either (and neither did the store), so I ordered some from Amazon. I'll have to see what kind of donuts they have after the Valentine's ones run out. They gave me the wrong ones and weren't very nice to me the last couple times I was there. I should be used to disappointment by now.
I'm adding a third video to my audio swap project, which is going to be a lightning round of other people's characters. Instead of exploring characters' interactions and voices, it's just going to be one-off memorable lines from one character put into another character's mouth (sometimes two, and sometimes more than one trade). I started Miles' video and am putting some final revisions into Michael's, so that should be up before the end of the month. RWBY Chibi already beat me to Jaune singing the Camp Camp theme, though.
Meilin appeared in the Clear Card Arc anime via video chat. It'll be a little weird not hearing Nicole Oliver voice her. If I remember correctly, Rika could play the piano, but that role has been assigned to Syaoran. At least she got to say something over the phone that one time. The most recent episode referenced Dragon Ball during Kero's Corner, as he mentioned he knew a monkey boy who stole a peach, and Spinel asked if he knew Goku.
