The production value of this is incredible, friend. The commentary is intelligent and the right mix of hilarious. Thanks for the fun hour of hearing a new player's experience! +1 sub
This might be the best Kingdom Hearts video on TH-cam. High production quality, top tier clickbait that is admittedly not a lie in the title, and a recap of the franchise's entire plot with only a couple missed details (Namely, the reveal in Dream Drop Distance that Nobodies actually do grow their hearts back). How somebody can release a video like this with a somewhat active channel and not have even 1000 subs is insane to me.
@@pascalcasimier7748 That's not the twist. In Dream Drop Distance, Xemnas and Braig reveal to Sora that the original organization's intention was to get 13 empty husks for Xehanort to take over, but nobodies are capable of regrowing a heart to replace the ones they lost. That caused some of the members to not fit the requirements necessary to fulfill the plan. The reveal gets hinted at over the course of the game with Xemnas chuckling at Pinocchio growing a heart and agreeing with Sora's claims that they should be able to grow hearts if a puppet can. He also brings up how memories and hearts are directly related in The Grid, implying that anybody with memories will grow their own heart.
I was thinking the same thing, I went to sub and went whhhaaaat? 2.8k subs? He’s gunna take off with this video though. Fingers crossed, he deserves it
53:20 Someone's probably already pointed this out to you, but Xigbar has control over gravity and the ability to make portals. Dude falling off a wall in a dramatic fashion definitely didn't kill him
Yeah, the more I pay attention to our pal Xiggy, the more I am 100% convinced he's just hamming it up the ENTIRE time, ever since his order from the master of masters. Dude is just too ruggedly dramatic.
Plus he is the only character we see "die" offscreen. It's a clear sign in any story that if someone right there gets offscreened.... they're not dead haha. Xiggy does it a different time in the story as well, but I won't point it out specifically for spoilers.
"Do you realize how stupid I look speaking about this in public?" You have my empathy, I once had to explain the plot of Kill La Kill at a family dinner.
This got to be one of the greatest videos on youtube. I mean, there are 10-minute video essays that are extremely boring and dumb, you actually managed to make 1 hour of content that's extremely engaging... You're definitely a great filmmaker, can't wait for more of your productions!
This is a LOT of work for an hours worth of solid entertainment I know it is said a thousand times on youtube, but man, this deserves some more views and more subs. I hope they come your way!
We are reaching another TH-cam golden age I swear. More and more, creators with incredible drive and talent like yourself with piss all subscribers are making amazing content like this video. Thank you so much for your work.
@@timmm_ You know, another TH-camr, Everglow, made a series of the chronological timeline of Kingdom Hearts from Kingdom Hearts X Back Cover to Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance. Here's the link: th-cam.com/play/PLhcSrKyqhfh5USKgcHjwTjeVbngw7Y0pr.html Enjoy!
Just from the title I was expecting another bash on KH. As a long time fan, this was really well made and gave respect to the series even if you didn't like it. Its true that once you start to become critical about the writing that it may break for you, but its the fact that kh plays its story so serious that you can't help but wonder whats the next step of the journey. The KH series has always been about Heart. through good and bad you see the love and effort put into these games. This was a very great video with great editing and im glad you took something out of this series.
That's a great way to put it! If it doesn't touch your heart somehow, it's not for you. Leave your head behind guys, you won't be able to keep up anyways. lol
It's quite comparable to Fairy Tail if you've ever heard of that manga series. It has always been a punching bag of sorts in the anime community cause it's a shonen that heavily relies on the power of friendship. While objectively the story isn't the best out there. But god-damn does it hit you in the feels while having very memorable characters. I could go on about it but I'll cut it short to this length.
Thanks for the "too long; didn't see" the video. People are always using these clickbait subversive titles; I'm not going to lose X time of my life for some shitty or controversial content the creator produced just to get views. Thanks for the clarification man
Best Kingdom Hearts video on the internet! The only thing I feel needs to be said is that the girl Lea and Isa were trying to save can't be Kairi, because that girl is confirmed to be 15 years old and from Union Cross and Kairi would have only been 4 at the time they were breaking into the castle.
@@killernyancat8193 Ths KH3 Secret reports say that she is around 15 years old, and the non-cannon Character files say that she has black hair. The three most likely candidates would be Strelitzia, Ava, or Skuld. Its unlikely to be Strelitzia since she's in Quadratum, Ava has no evidence either way, but Skuld is the most likely because she does have the black hair implied in the character files, but also has stars all over her character design which is a very Kingdom Hearts thing to do since Axel is Sun-themed and Saïx has moon powers.
@@timmm_ It's fine, that was 100% bonus and easily missable material. The important thing is that now you know, because it will absolutely be integral to Kingdom Hearts 4 and/or Kingdom Hearts: Missing Link (both with gameplay teasers already out).
This... was an _amazing_ KH video. The delivery, the presentation, the humor, the _effort:_ this was better than most of the videos on KH I've seen. Plus, just 56:58 pure comedy gold Beautifully done. edit: also i can't tell if the "venitas" is a typo or intentional and it's great.
Wow this video randomly showed up in my recommended and, as someone who knows the ENTIRE Kingdom Hearts lore, I had to watch it cause it always makes me laugh. It was so high quality I was shocked to see how little subs you had. Def earned my sub and share.
AMAZING WORK ON THIS!! I’m honestly surprised on how correct and thorough you made the series turn out in your own words! GREAT JOB AGAIN! (Also just something I’d mention, in Melody of Memory where you mentioned that Lea and Isa were trying to save Kairi, yeahhhh that was incorrect. Who they’re actually trying to save was another girl who was said to have been let go by “a man with an eyepatch”. She was a girl with black hair and no memories of her past, who is presumed to be Skold from Union X, or at least that’s to be assumed!)
Had a friend recommend this to me because he was so impressed by your production value. You seem to have a real knack for your style and I sincerely hope you keep creating. I'll certainly be tuning in!
This is such a great video, went into it thinking “I’ll skip through some of the story I already know” and I’ve found myself watching every second of it. You’ve made everything so comprehensive and entertaining. It was a great time. Hahaha “what do you mean there’s a kingdom hearts 4 trailer!?” XD had me rolling.
By far the best KH video I've ever seen. Also those notes are *chef's kiss* This masterpiece deserves so much recognition; the editing, commentary, and production quality are all amazing.
This video's gonna send you over the top. Here's my premature congrats, man. You're an excellent editor. Great breakdown of my favorite fanfic ever written.
Holy crap that was a 1 hour video and i just sat through it without realizing and already knowing all of that information in much greater detail than you explained it.
Timmm I'll say this every video, how you aren't getting millions of views is disgusting. On top of that, thank you for giving us such high quality content
Just stumbled onto the channel, saw you've been at it awhile. Greetings, the algorithm is shining favorably upon you. May you keep true to the motivations which drive you, which have driven you, throughout the journey you now find yourself on. Resist losing yourself to the audience, to the need for growth, and find worth in your engagement to the world. Happy Friday.
the title is absolutely perfect, and the end saying you wouldnt change a thing about it is how most of us kh fans feel. also this production quality is insane
Looks like the algorithm is in our favor. This was awesome. I'm sorry your content doesn't have more views. I hope it will now. This was awesome and I laughed so much. Hour long videos don't work for everyone there's only one other video game essay channel that can keep me for that long and that's caddiccarus so I'm glad there is someone else too !! You are great !
Why does this video not have way more views???? I relate so much to everything you say about the series it's bringing back so much nostalgic memories...both good and bad. Thank u for this hour long video and your months of efforts.
The ending summarized exactly what I love about the series,its just unique, nothing is like that and probably never will. Despite all of the story bs kh just enjoy's being kh. Anyway your editing skills are crazy,really great job here,you deserve WAY MORE recognition.
My only understanding of Kingdom Hearts comes from youtube essay-iests freakin about how convoluded the lore and story is. Watching this is hilarious, and I still have no idea what the hel is going on there. This channel is absolutely insane, it WILL blow up youtube once the algorythm gets its formula screwed on straight. These videos are a national treasure.
This is exactly what i wanted to comment. I have watched probably 10 Story explained videos at this point and i have still no clue whats going on in kingdom hearts lol. I love every FF game but im highly scared to touch kingdom hearts even by accident.
Great video, very fun and well produced, but i must clarify something. 44:39 It WAS NOT Ventus who killed Strelitzia. It looked like at the begining but in one of the last updates it was shown that Darkness ITSELF without Ventuses help killed her and later commanded him to take her book. He feels bad for it, but technically he didn't kill her. 53:59 Nomura wrote this. Glad to be help :) 55:39 WAIT WHAT? It's stated in secret reports to KH3 not MoM and it wasn't Kairi who they were trying to rescue. At this time we don't fully now who Subject X (dark haired girl that Terra-Xehanort kept) was but from the scraps of information we have we could imply that it was Skuld, girl from X and Union Cross, one of the new union leaders. Now that i think about it you kind off forgot about Elrena(Larxene) and Lauriam(Marluxia) but with cluster fuck that this series and especialu UX is i don't blame you.
Finally a video i can send to my non Kingdom Hearts friends to make them understand a bit of kingdom hearts...or confuse them even more xD that was soo well edited and written!!
Mild correction for the Melody of memories part. Lea and Isa weren't trying to rescue Kairi, they were trying to rescue a black haired girl hypothesized to be Skuld from Union X, who may have been transported to Radiant Garden without her memories after Data Daybreak town was destroyed at the end of Union X. Other than that relatively minor mistake, pretty good synopsis.
I gotta agree with everyone else, even professionals presentations manage to at least bore people out at some point, but in 1 hour never did I lose focus. You have a talent for making people pay attention, whether it be through always engaging people in the visual, the pacing and words or the editing, it's very good. Can't wait to see future projects and the continuation of this madness that is Kingdom Hearts when 4 drops.
The reason the guardians of light went to the key blade graveyard to fight the 13 darknesses is because they didn't have much of a choice, its either they fight, or the organization goes and attacks the princesses.
The fact that these games have reached the point it’s practically become fabled for its moon logic writing and legendary asspulls. Almost brings a tear to my eye, i’m so glad more people get to experience the insanity of this franchise. I’m firmly seated in mr namura’s wild ride and i don’t intend to get off anytime soon
I see people talking about it; but this is one of the best TH-cam videos I’ve ever seen. The editing is some of the best I’ve seen and I love the style you stick to. The colors are absolutely amazing and super fun to watch. The cuts between the game and you are perfect, you’re smart, good in front of the camera, funny, and speak incredibly well. You are going to be the biggest video essay TH-camr of all time if you keep this up. Absolutely loved the video, and I always love seeing what people blind to my favorite series have to say about the game. I can’t wait to watch more of your videos!
Dude, I have to say, this became one of my FAVOURITE youtube videos EVER! I knew Kingdom Hearts was a mess of a trip, altough I just played 1 and 2 (I tried to force myself to play Chains of Memories, but I couldnt). But BOY THAT WAS A LOT OF INFORMATION, and damn you made a wonderful job summing it up and making it (almost) understandable(?) Plus, the edition is wonderful, humour is ON POINT. Thanks bro, just...thank you.
The shots of you interacting with Kingdom Hearts backgrounds are really funny and really well done, somehow it made me laugh every single time seeing a real human leaning over a traverse town balcony or sitting on a verum rex table
Just wanted to say that this has been one of the best videos I’ve ever watched. I loved the way you talked about everything so causally while still keeping it funny. What a great combination, I’m glad I found and subscribed to this channel
This is probably the best “new to KH” videos in recent memory b/c I’m a kingdom hearts fan but I’m siding with the newcomer for once. Other videos explaining the elements soundly but being awkward and confused is just like...ok I get it KH is CoNvOlUtEd...but here, I feel for you as a person, WHO DOESNT EVEN ENJOY IT, to try and make some great entertaining journey for us to watch!
This was absolutely fucking marvellous, well worth the hour I spent watching it. Will definitely be going through your older stuff and really looking forward to future projects, such a good video!
Hey man, just wanna appreciate the editing, writing and effort you put into this. You deserved WAAYY more subs and I'm here for it. Keep up the great work!
I appreciate how genuinely in depth this was. Though I do sometimes get tired of the clickbait titles for analysis of KH, it generally pushes me away from watching the videos. I'm really glad folks understand the charm of the franchise. I'd identify as a hardcore fan, following every game since the first one and still actively trying to piece the lore together. It's an endless task that will probably never have a true ending, but do I care? No, not really. It's a blast to do it. It puts a huge smile on my face, watching these characters that I deeply love and care about interact with each other in these insane ways. I think KH has a lot of very interesting and lovely things to say about connections with other people, if you boil the basic aspects of the franchise to it's simplest form. It's one of the few pieces of media that I feel genuinely celebrates connections / relationships in a way that doesn't feel corporate or soulless. That's one of the things I think IS well written about the franchise.
18:00 Right here you have described every Kingdom Hearts fan. Even if we're adults now and we can tell this is just randomly put together story beats to keep the train going for eternity. We still love it, and on Critical mode this is one of my favorites action RPGs out there next to Dark Souls, and NieR Automata. I grew up with it as a pre teen on the PS2 so ofc it holds a place in my heart especially 1&2, that prolly' wont ever change.
You know what's really lovely about Kingdom Hearts? As I listened to you explain more and more lore, I forgot more and more lore. It's the best. Truly, the pinnacle of video game storytelling.
This was one of the most entertaining and well put together KH breakdown videos I've ever seen...and I've seen a lot! I can't even begin to wonder how long this process took!
This was very entertaining, and I’m in complete agreement. The first time I got I play Kingdom Hearts I immediately realized the story was complete nonsense, but the gameplay, music, and Disney nostalgia just really sinks its teeth into you. I hope this channel blows up. The amount of work you put into this video really shows!
you have brought such a clear amount of passion and technical analysis to this video, well done. as someone who thoroughly enjoyed most of my playthroughs of all the games in this series, I think you did them justice here.
This video was just an absolutely fantastic use of an hour, I loved every second of it. This is coming from a Kingdom Hearts fan who has been playing the games since the very beginning, buying each new game as they came. I enjoyed each one I played, but rarely left a game without qualms at least a couple weeks later once I had time to digest what I'd played. I sent this to some friends of mine as well. You hit everything that mattered here, and you absolutely did it with style. The editing here is fantastic, such a great use of cuts. And I laughed more than once when something nonsensical would happen and we would just cut to you, you'd give the little look we're all feeling, and then we'd get back into it. Thanks for making this video for us, from the bottom of my (Kingdom) heart 😁
That was a really fun video! I love the editing and the effort you put into the writing, def subscribing! Can't wait to see what your next video is going to be in 2-4 months ^^
As a big KH fan since birth, this was a big try not to laugh KH edition, and I failed way too many times. You seriously made this an amazingly humorous and entertaining KH video honestly. 👏👏👏
This is so funny man, great job with the whole vid! As a veteran kh fan, this was one of the most convoluted, comprehensive explanations ive ever seen. Awesome work
OH MY GOD. Sit down, strap in, and get some breaksticks, cause this is gonna be a long comment singing your praise. Editing is God Tier. I could not just listen to this video in the background, it demanded my full attention. The various cuts, location changes, and unique placements of clips was exquisite. You have the a style that reminds of a combination of Dan Olsen and Brian David Gilbert, and I mean that as the highest compliment possible. It is CRIMINAL that you have less 1k subs, you deserve a million. I’m going to try to spread this as much as I can, because as someone that’s several hundreds of “explanation videos” for kingdom hearts, this one was funny and refreshing without being overly condensing (something I run into a lot with videos from people that are new to the franchise) You have got yourself a new subscriber. Can’t wait to see what else you come out with and excited to view your previous content. I hope you get picked up by the algorithm!
Man I've seen some of your videos in the past and I just wanna say I'm super glad one of your videos is starting to get some views. You really deserve it man, sure even though I don't necessarily agree with all your views, your video production is top notch! As well as being able to illustrate your thoughts super well, and your great comedic timing. Keep fighting the good fight brother!
What a great video !! You are a very good creator and I don't believe my eyes when I see this video only has 2000 views. Keep pushing and to stay on the theme… "May your heart be your guiding key".❤️
ong i swear i opened your channel after the first 10 minutes of this vid expecting to find a channel with at least 100k subs… i immediately subscribed, so excited to see more!
Dude this was such a delight to watch, as someone who's been a fan of the game since kh1 came out in 2002. Like, yeah, you can say it's dumb and you don't like it and it's not to your tastes. You played the games, you have that right. You may not have wanted it, but you're one of us now. :p only kh fans get to make fun of kh. In all seriousness though, you're right that this game is special, nothing in it was ever something Nomura didn't want and envision for the series. Nomura is more than a game director. He's a fashion designer. He's an artist. I genuinely believe the kh series is a work of high art that explores the full potential of what you can do with storytelling in the video game format. Nomura is a genius and he owns my soul. Like! Dude! At the end of kh3 you lose and then come back and replay the same few cutscenes after Sora uses the power of waking to rewrite time. What does that say, as a game, to the player, about the concept of video games in and of itself? How many times was this story rewritten bc Sora didn't like the outcome? Gives new meaning to the difference between Sora's post lost-battle floatiness vs. the crossed arms pose. There are three mainline games but every installment (spinoffs included) is more important than the last. I hope you play kh4 when it comes out.
Jeez the fact that your editing is this good with this little subs is nothing short of insane, I think this is one of the best edited videos I’ve ever seen especially with this amount of subs
Damn, bro... I was just sitting there, watching the video, almost finished with it and then my jaw fell and hurt fingers on my right leg so much that I don't think I'll ever walk again. The number of your subscribers is so low yet the ammount of effort you've put in this video just kills me. I hope I'll find more "underground" youtubers who really care about their content in the future but for now I'll just say this video slaps💥
This was an amazing video. I can't really say anything negative about it. From 17:18 - 18:25 you hit the nail on the head for those of us who were able to play Kingdom Hearts 1 & 2 on release. I waited until KH3 and when I finally played it I had ZERO Z-E-R-O idea what the hell the game was talking about.
You sweet summer child. I definitely need a video essay from someone in your position, and have it made at the exclusion of ever looking for more information than outside of KH3, it would be an amazing Twilight Zone experience.
I'm gunna need some more bread sticks for this one.

Holy crap that was a 1 hour video and i just sat through it without realizing and already knowing all of that information in much greater detail than you explained it.
Timmm I'll say this every video, how you aren't getting millions of views is disgusting.
On top of that, thank you for giving us such high quality content
Just stumbled onto the channel, saw you've been at it awhile. Greetings, the algorithm is shining favorably upon you.
May you keep true to the motivations which drive you, which have driven you, throughout the journey you now find yourself on.
Resist losing yourself to the audience, to the need for growth, and find worth in your engagement to the world.
Happy Friday.
the title is absolutely perfect, and the end saying you wouldnt change a thing about it is how most of us kh fans feel. also this production quality is insane
How do you have so little subscribers??? The quality was superb!!!
As a huge fan of KH and still waiting for news on 4 and the mobile games, this video is amazing
dude sick video. seriously bro you're doing awesome work keep it up!!!!🙏
The quality of editing in this video can’t be overstated! You either created all of this stuff in after effects or you’re just as magical as Yensid
Looks like the algorithm is in our favor. This was awesome. I'm sorry your content doesn't have more views. I hope it will now. This was awesome and I laughed so much. Hour long videos don't work for everyone there's only one other video game essay channel that can keep me for that long and that's caddiccarus so I'm glad there is someone else too !! You are great !
Why does this video not have way more views???? I relate so much to everything you say about the series it's bringing back so much nostalgic memories...both good and bad. Thank u for this hour long video and your months of efforts.
Your production quality and effort outclasses most of TH-cam just from this lone video
I hope your channel blows up because it deserves it
The ending summarized exactly what I love about the series,its just unique, nothing is like that and probably never will. Despite all of the story bs kh just enjoy's being kh.
Anyway your editing skills are crazy,really great job here,you deserve WAY MORE recognition.
My only understanding of Kingdom Hearts comes from youtube essay-iests freakin about how convoluded the lore and story is. Watching this is hilarious, and I still have no idea what the hel is going on there.
This channel is absolutely insane, it WILL blow up youtube once the algorythm gets its formula screwed on straight. These videos are a national treasure.
This is exactly what i wanted to comment. I have watched probably 10 Story explained videos at this point and i have still no clue whats going on in kingdom hearts lol. I love every FF game but im highly scared to touch kingdom hearts even by accident.
Great video, very fun and well produced, but i must clarify something.
44:39 It WAS NOT Ventus who killed Strelitzia. It looked like at the begining but in one of the last updates it was shown that Darkness ITSELF without Ventuses help killed her and later commanded him to take her book. He feels bad for it, but technically he didn't kill her.
53:59 Nomura wrote this. Glad to be help :)
55:39 WAIT WHAT? It's stated in secret reports to KH3 not MoM and it wasn't Kairi who they were trying to rescue. At this time we don't fully now who Subject X (dark haired girl that Terra-Xehanort kept) was but from the scraps of information we have we could imply that it was Skuld, girl from X and Union Cross, one of the new union leaders. Now that i think about it you kind off forgot about Elrena(Larxene) and Lauriam(Marluxia) but with cluster fuck that this series and especialu UX is i don't blame you.
That's how you know he wasn't paying attention lmao
Finally a video i can send to my non Kingdom Hearts friends to make them understand a bit of kingdom hearts...or confuse them even more xD that was soo well edited and written!!
Mild correction for the Melody of memories part. Lea and Isa weren't trying to rescue Kairi, they were trying to rescue a black haired girl hypothesized to be Skuld from Union X, who may have been transported to Radiant Garden without her memories after Data Daybreak town was destroyed at the end of Union X. Other than that relatively minor mistake, pretty good synopsis.
What the fuck are these words.
I gotta agree with everyone else, even professionals presentations manage to at least bore people out at some point, but in 1 hour never did I lose focus. You have a talent for making people pay attention, whether it be through always engaging people in the visual, the pacing and words or the editing, it's very good. Can't wait to see future projects and the continuation of this madness that is Kingdom Hearts when 4 drops.
he has a good grip on brevity
Loved your framing and use of transitions in this video amazing work man!
The reason the guardians of light went to the key blade graveyard to fight the 13 darknesses is because they didn't have much of a choice, its either they fight, or the organization goes and attacks the princesses.
The fact that these games have reached the point it’s practically become fabled for its moon logic writing and legendary asspulls.
Almost brings a tear to my eye, i’m so glad more people get to experience the insanity of this franchise. I’m firmly seated in mr namura’s wild ride and i don’t intend to get off anytime soon
I never want to get off of Mr Nomura’s wild ride.
you and me both, brother
@@FreyOdyssey make it the three of us.
Which never made sense why it was memed so much because this is not a story that crazy compared to other jrpgs.
@@yagirlmayalazarus6713 like?
I see people talking about it; but this is one of the best TH-cam videos I’ve ever seen.
The editing is some of the best I’ve seen and I love the style you stick to. The colors are absolutely amazing and super fun to watch.
The cuts between the game and you are perfect, you’re smart, good in front of the camera, funny, and speak incredibly well.
You are going to be the biggest video essay TH-camr of all time if you keep this up.
Absolutely loved the video, and I always love seeing what people blind to my favorite series have to say about the game.
I can’t wait to watch more of your videos!
Dude, I have to say, this became one of my FAVOURITE youtube videos EVER!
I knew Kingdom Hearts was a mess of a trip, altough I just played 1 and 2 (I tried to force myself to play Chains of Memories, but I couldnt). But BOY THAT WAS A LOT OF INFORMATION, and damn you made a wonderful job summing it up and making it (almost) understandable(?)
Plus, the edition is wonderful, humour is ON POINT.
Thanks bro, just...thank you.
This was insanely well done. I'm always happy to see people enter the rabbit hole and come out loving the series!
This video was an absolute blast to watch. A brilliant masterpiece sir!
THANK YOU! Finally a POSITIVE retrospective of the whole series
The shots of you interacting with Kingdom Hearts backgrounds are really funny and really well done, somehow it made me laugh every single time seeing a real human leaning over a traverse town balcony or sitting on a verum rex table
The fact that this video doesn't have over 100k views is blasphemy!
Also give this man a sub, he deserves it 👍
Just wanted to say that this has been one of the best videos I’ve ever watched. I loved the way you talked about everything so causally while still keeping it funny. What a great combination, I’m glad I found and subscribed to this channel
Man this was honestly such a hilarious recap xD. As someone who finally understands the entire story, it is great to see someone else join the group!
This is probably the best “new to KH” videos in recent memory b/c I’m a kingdom hearts fan but I’m siding with the newcomer for once. Other videos explaining the elements soundly but being awkward and confused is just like...ok I get it KH is CoNvOlUtEd...but here, I feel for you as a person, WHO DOESNT EVEN ENJOY IT, to try and make some great entertaining journey for us to watch!
This was absolutely fucking marvellous, well worth the hour I spent watching it. Will definitely be going through your older stuff and really looking forward to future projects, such a good video!
Hey man, just wanna appreciate the editing, writing and effort you put into this. You deserved WAAYY more subs and I'm here for it. Keep up the great work!
Thank you, thank you! This video is absolutelyincredible! You deserve x1000 the subs man! Masterpiece of a video!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I appreciate how genuinely in depth this was. Though I do sometimes get tired of the clickbait titles for analysis of KH, it generally pushes me away from watching the videos.
I'm really glad folks understand the charm of the franchise. I'd identify as a hardcore fan, following every game since the first one and still actively trying to piece the lore together. It's an endless task that will probably never have a true ending, but do I care? No, not really. It's a blast to do it. It puts a huge smile on my face, watching these characters that I deeply love and care about interact with each other in these insane ways.
I think KH has a lot of very interesting and lovely things to say about connections with other people, if you boil the basic aspects of the franchise to it's simplest form. It's one of the few pieces of media that I feel genuinely celebrates connections / relationships in a way that doesn't feel corporate or soulless. That's one of the things I think IS well written about the franchise.
What a fantastic video, you deserve so many views for this, and I hope so many more people come to appreciate this art as much as I do.
18:00 Right here you have described every Kingdom Hearts fan. Even if we're adults now and we can tell this is just randomly put together story beats to keep the train going for eternity. We still love it, and on Critical mode this is one of my favorites action RPGs out there next to Dark Souls, and NieR Automata. I grew up with it as a pre teen on the PS2 so ofc it holds a place in my heart especially 1&2, that prolly' wont ever change.
This is some top tier quality for 4k subs I can’t wait to watch this channel grow great effort and content won’t go unnoticed
You know what's really lovely about Kingdom Hearts? As I listened to you explain more and more lore, I forgot more and more lore. It's the best. Truly, the pinnacle of video game storytelling.
This was one of the most entertaining and well put together KH breakdown videos I've ever seen...and I've seen a lot! I can't even begin to wonder how long this process took!
This was very entertaining, and I’m in complete agreement. The first time I got I play Kingdom Hearts I immediately realized the story was complete nonsense, but the gameplay, music, and Disney nostalgia just really sinks its teeth into you.
I hope this channel blows up. The amount of work you put into this video really shows!
you have brought such a clear amount of passion and technical analysis to this video, well done. as someone who thoroughly enjoyed most of my playthroughs of all the games in this series, I think you did them justice here.
This ain't the editing quality i expect from someone with only a few thousand subs. You put a lot of effort into this, and it shows. Great work.
An hour long, but I wanna be here for every minute of it.
This video was just an absolutely fantastic use of an hour, I loved every second of it. This is coming from a Kingdom Hearts fan who has been playing the games since the very beginning, buying each new game as they came. I enjoyed each one I played, but rarely left a game without qualms at least a couple weeks later once I had time to digest what I'd played.
I sent this to some friends of mine as well. You hit everything that mattered here, and you absolutely did it with style. The editing here is fantastic, such a great use of cuts. And I laughed more than once when something nonsensical would happen and we would just cut to you, you'd give the little look we're all feeling, and then we'd get back into it. Thanks for making this video for us, from the bottom of my (Kingdom) heart 😁
Honestly, 100 times better than I expected and 10 times better than I would have ever wished for.
Great video.
That was a really fun video! I love the editing and the effort you put into the writing, def subscribing! Can't wait to see what your next video is going to be in 2-4 months ^^
how is this man's channel under 10k still? yt's algorithm needs to get him on recommended
As a big KH fan since birth, this was a big try not to laugh KH edition, and I failed way too many times. You seriously made this an amazingly humorous and entertaining KH video honestly. 👏👏👏
the editing for this is actually insane. I’m inspired
This is so funny man, great job with the whole vid! As a veteran kh fan, this was one of the most convoluted, comprehensive explanations ive ever seen. Awesome work
OH MY GOD. Sit down, strap in, and get some breaksticks, cause this is gonna be a long comment singing your praise. Editing is God Tier. I could not just listen to this video in the background, it demanded my full attention. The various cuts, location changes, and unique placements of clips was exquisite. You have the a style that reminds of a combination of Dan Olsen and Brian David Gilbert, and I mean that as the highest compliment possible. It is CRIMINAL that you have less 1k subs, you deserve a million. I’m going to try to spread this as much as I can, because as someone that’s several hundreds of “explanation videos” for kingdom hearts, this one was funny and refreshing without being overly condensing (something I run into a lot with videos from people that are new to the franchise) You have got yourself a new subscriber. Can’t wait to see what else you come out with and excited to view your previous content. I hope you get picked up by the algorithm!
Incredible editing skills. This video deserves much more views. You've got my sub. Keep up the great work!
Man I've seen some of your videos in the past and I just wanna say I'm super glad one of your videos is starting to get some views. You really deserve it man, sure even though I don't necessarily agree with all your views, your video production is top notch! As well as being able to illustrate your thoughts super well, and your great comedic timing. Keep fighting the good fight brother!
The editing and effort put into this is amazing and I can’t wait to see what other videos you make! Super impressed!
This was SUCH a great video with a really, REALLY charming style and I love it and you deserve everything for enduring Kingdom Hearts.
What a great video !!
You are a very good creator and I don't believe my eyes when I see this video only has 2000 views.
Keep pushing and to stay on the theme…
"May your heart be your guiding key".❤️
This was a delight, and I eagerly await your coverage of the Kingdom Hearts 4 story when it comes out. Let the insanity continue.
ong i swear i opened your channel after the first 10 minutes of this vid expecting to find a channel with at least 100k subs… i immediately subscribed, so excited to see more!
Dude this was such a delight to watch, as someone who's been a fan of the game since kh1 came out in 2002. Like, yeah, you can say it's dumb and you don't like it and it's not to your tastes. You played the games, you have that right. You may not have wanted it, but you're one of us now. :p only kh fans get to make fun of kh.
In all seriousness though, you're right that this game is special, nothing in it was ever something Nomura didn't want and envision for the series. Nomura is more than a game director. He's a fashion designer. He's an artist. I genuinely believe the kh series is a work of high art that explores the full potential of what you can do with storytelling in the video game format. Nomura is a genius and he owns my soul. Like! Dude! At the end of kh3 you lose and then come back and replay the same few cutscenes after Sora uses the power of waking to rewrite time. What does that say, as a game, to the player, about the concept of video games in and of itself? How many times was this story rewritten bc Sora didn't like the outcome? Gives new meaning to the difference between Sora's post lost-battle floatiness vs. the crossed arms pose. There are three mainline games but every installment (spinoffs included) is more important than the last. I hope you play kh4 when it comes out.
Jeez the fact that your editing is this good with this little subs is nothing short of insane, I think this is one of the best edited videos I’ve ever seen especially with this amount of subs
Wow! I haven't seen this much depth, humor, and great editing before!
Damn, bro... I was just sitting there, watching the video, almost finished with it and then my jaw fell and hurt fingers on my right leg so much that I don't think I'll ever walk again. The number of your subscribers is so low yet the ammount of effort you've put in this video just kills me. I hope I'll find more "underground" youtubers who really care about their content in the future but for now I'll just say this video slaps💥
This video has absolutely no reason to be as good as it is. Quality throughout
Top tier quality with the video editing and content.
This was a dope ass video man. Enjoyed every bit of it. Great analysis. You’re hilarious man 👍🏾
The quality of the editing and motion graphics in this is INSANE, plus a really decent understanding of what makes this series so magical. A+!
This was an amazing video. I can't really say anything negative about it. From 17:18 - 18:25 you hit the nail on the head for those of us who were able to play Kingdom Hearts 1 & 2 on release. I waited until KH3 and when I finally played it I had ZERO Z-E-R-O idea what the hell the game was talking about.
You sweet summer child. I definitely need a video essay from someone in your position, and have it made at the exclusion of ever looking for more information than outside of KH3, it would be an amazing Twilight Zone experience.
your editing is GORGEOUS
The production quality of this is absolutely incredible. I love your presentation, and I'm definitely sticking round for more!
Oh man, the filmed sections are some of my favourite in any video like this that I've seen
my brain hurts and i am exhausted but holy frick this video is amazing
the exact reaction i wanted to achieve
“Don’t think about it.” Is the entire writing ethos of this series.
Have fun playing "Kingdom Hearts IV: Sora gets a real job to pay rent in his Shibuya apartment" in 2034
