My Top 10 Videos (That I Made)

The three videos that I posted since YouTube halfway stopped working on my computer have either one or no views, so I’m guessing it didn’t make it into most people’s inboxes. That being said, I decided to make a top ten list of the videos I’ve posted. Honorable mention will go to the Kingdom Hearts comic dubs I collaborated on with two of my friends and my brother. They were fun but a lot of work.

1. Yu-Gi-Oh! Role - I may be biased, but I put this as my channel video (for newcomers at least) for a reason. It’s a crime that season zero keeps getting taken from YouTube and has never been licensed to be dubbed in English. I had such a good time watching the Monster World arc while I could. At least I have the manga to reread.
 

2. Organization Trolls - This is the funniest holiday video I’ve made. It’s a good thing there were multiple versions to choose from so I could include other parts as outtakes at the end. I think I matched the Organization members to the troll characters pretty accurately.
 

3. Saix vs Axel and His Other Friends - This was a messy video to do, but I’m glad I did it. Saix’s rendition of Spinel’s “Other Friends” song from the Steven Universe movie fits the situation (and to some extent, “Drift Away”). Isa is jealous of Lea’s new friends and thinks he abandoned him.
 

4. Face Your Fears in Hell - If not for the Helluva Boss season one trailer being posted, I would not have been able to finish this video and post it the same day. The characters of both Helluva Boss and Hazbin Hotel have things they must overcome, one of them being fear. There are characters to be feared as well, such as Alostor and Robo Fizz. I’m glad I got to use the orchestral version for this.
 

5. Kingdom Hearts 3: Everything Stays and Kingdom Hearts 3: Home - These were both touching songs to use to serve as a backdrop to the different groups reuniting in KH3. Everything stays right where you left it, and when I’m with you I’m at home.
 

6. Tea & Trepak - This was a nice little video to make for the holidays. The classical ballet music meshed well with RWBY Chibi especially. I love that the thumbnail turned out to be chibi Roman and Neo.

7. Audio Swap: Michael Jones (and Miles Luna) - These two were fun to do, but the third one got  complicated (it’s staying up despite he who shall remain nameless). The openings are the best parts: “Shove it up your ass” and the beginning of the Camp Camp theme.
 

8. Yu-Gi-Oh! D&D - All three of them, but especially the first one. What do you think the series would’ve been like if it was about D&D instead of (or in addition to) the Duel Monsters card game?
 

9. Digimon Sekaijuu - This is the only Digimon video that didn't get taken down for copyright, and so it holds a special place in my heart here at number 9.
 

10. Ienzo x Raven: Love Like You - This is at number 10 because it’s a weird, impossible ship that I made up, but people seem to like it. I do too. With or without the lyrics, it’s a good one.
 

Here is my one step beyond. It’s a list of the top ten videos I had to take down. Honorable Mention goes to all the musical stingers that had to be cut for the main videos to survive.
 

1. Victory - This is one of my favorite musical pieces of all time. It was also the first video with a stinger. At least that part survived and went on to spearhead other audio projects.
 

2. Kingdom Hearts 3: Found a Way - If I couldn’t use the song at the end of the Power Rangers Wild Force/Time Force crossover, I wanted to use this one, especially because Drake Bell voices young Eraqus.
 

3. Christopher Lee Christmas (both) - I’m sad that I didn’t find out about Christopher Lee’s musical career until after he died.
 

4. Kanji x Naoto: Just the Way You Are - This song fits them perfectly, but at least I got to pick a different one that also suits them.
 

5. Red Like the Holidays - The extra Mini Moose squeak during the silent part makes this video.
 

6. Trent Kort: Party in the CIA - He got done dirty. This tribute was pretty great, and the cut stinger to another video continued it using part of Tangled's “I've Got a Dream."
 

7. Your Score-oscope for Today - The best part is where it gets to the “kill them” line with Jade’s eyes going dark (or the glare over his glasses).
 

8.To Be a Nobody - It had to be done. Trying to swap in the Jackie Chan version may have been too ambitious, though.
 

9. Sleigh Ride & Miser Brothers - An awkward two-part holiday video featuring Gatomon, Frigimon, and Meramon.
 

10. Go Go Digi Rangers - The first Digimon video I did, so it also holds a special place in my heart.

What Did You Think Was Gonna Happen?!

 Remember when I said that if Lea and Isa tried to sneak into a government building here, they’d get shot? While not sneaking, and only one person was shot dead, I guess I’ve been proven wrong. Also, I think I remember someone making a joke that Sora, Riku, and Kairi should play Raft together. I believe that Vexen, Luxord, Xigbar, and Demyx should play Sea of Thieves. Vexen's the captain, Luxord's the helmsman, Xigbar's the powder monkey, and Demyx is the musician.

I never knew that live duels were a thing, but apparently they've been taking place throughout the 2010s, and there was a series one reunion panel at the virtual New York Comic Con last year. I like Marc Thompson's Astral voice, wish they could've used that for Bakura's father instead of the personality they gave him in that wretched movie plot. The way Astral and Ryou say “Oh dear" is the same, and it's cute. The moment that surprised me the most was when Jack beat Pegasus in one turned, snapped his fingers, and summoned a throne. On top of that, Yu-Gi-Oh! Abridged is back for the Grand Prix filler arc. It feels like I'm back in high school, and not in a bad way.
 

The only episode of The Torkelsons I remember seeing is the one with Elmo, which is called “Educating Millicent.” The only episode of Almost Home, the sequel series, I remember seeing is “To Date or Not To Date," in which the two teenage daughters sneak out of the house, and Millicent demonstrates this with a loaf of bread. It's owned by Disney, which I didn't know. My mom used to watch it when it was on. It was the early 90s, so it makes sense she would've had me watch the Elmo episode with her or recorded it for me. The premise is that the dad walked out on the family, but it felt more like he'd died the way they were talking about him while looking in the yearbook.
