Still, this was a fun video to work on----learning how to play the game, opening some old packs, and best of all of course, getting to hang out with friends lol.
In any case, I'm being genuine about how if anyone who used to be privy to the reasons why 4Kids made some of the weirder edits they did/worked on Grand Adventure and is familiar with the decision making that went into it, I'd love it if you could get in contact with me to talk about it! We could turn your info into either a video or a written piece---we'll figure out which one would work better. --- Title card song: Breaktime by Kevin MacLeod youtube.com/@incompetech_kmac End card song: Bird That Carries You Over A Disproportionately Small Gap from Undertale (by Toby Fox) End card art: @_seaPancake twitter.com/_seaPancake instagram.com/seapancake.art --- #onepieceIzumicon 2018: The Worst Con that Never HappenedRed Bard2023-10-13 | ►DON'T FORGET TO SUBSCRIBE! --- A massive round of thanks to everyone who helped me by giving me info for this video. In particular, I want to especially thank all the former Izumicon directors who gave me info, screenshots, and other resources. What happened in 2018 was heartbreaking for all of Izumicon's community, but no group more so than them; therefore, I'm especially grateful that they'd take the time to help me tell this story.
And thank all of you for being so patient with this video. I'm sorry it took so long, but I hope it's worth the wait! --- Regarding how information for this video was gathered: Most of my information is sourced from conversations/interviews with people who were directly involved: directors, volunteers, panelists, guests, etc. Some of them are named in the video, most of them aren't (and I hope this goes without saying, but if---for whatever reason---you believe you know the name/identity of any of the people mentioned in the video who aren't mentioned by name, please respect their privacy: don't comment their names, roles, or any other information revealing/suggesting who they are).
I asked for screenshots/physical evidence where possible, but alas, that wasn't possible with every single piece of info. But you'll notice when I'm talking about any such info that, despite being unable to 100% prove it with external evidence that was made available to me, I still think was worth mentioning for whatever reason (you'll probably notice hearing phrases like, "this person alleges" or "this person claims," for example).
I've been working on this video for a long time now---literal years---so some of the time stamps on posts (fb ones, in particular, which after a certain amount of time just read how many years old to the day a post is) might seem wonky/misaligned. But this is because most of them were grabbed in 2019 and 2020. --- Massive thanks to MechaManDan of That Blasted Salami, who helped with the editing for this video. More specifically: in addition to a few little things sprinkled throughout the video, he did the entire second half of the Aftermath section (everything after Tokyo in Tulsa 2019). youtube.com/@ThatBlastedSalami --- Afest 2017 Vlogs Friday Posing, Dancing, & lots O JOJO - youtube.com/watch?v=yPyKqBW3bwg Anime Oklahoma 2019, Pt 1 - youtube.com/watch?v=jKW6zbKqTsE [ASMR 360] Anime Expo 2019 Sunday Dealer's Hall Walkthrough - youtube.com/watch?v=SsCBKtSpBT8 DashCon Disaster -- Welcome to Night Vale Walks Out & More - youtube.com/watch?v=l3_6v4J6AIk Failure | IzumiCon, Kickstarter, and Canvas Repairs - youtube.com/watch?v=BCjb1uIJkG0 GoDaikocon!

Interestingly, looking at this video now I think it's pretty evident that as far as my turn-of-the-first-millennium knowledge goes, I know a lot more about the kinda stuff that was going on in Britain and Ireland than I do Scandanavia lol. --- How to Tell if Your Saint is Incorrupt (Ask a Mortician) - youtube.com/watch?v=jN4SvtRje2I --- Title card song: Breaktime by Kevin MacLeod youtube.com/@incompetech_kmac End card song: Bird That Carries You Over A Disproportionately Small Gap from Undertale (by Toby Fox) End card art: @_seaPancake twitter.com/_seaPancake instagram.com/seapancake.art Stinger transition visual: Dan of That Blasted Salami youtube.com/@ThatBlastedSalami Thumbnail layout: @OGmagicalgirl twitter.com/OGmagicalgirl --- #vinlandsagaAnime Sites from Yesteryear - Anime Boston 2023Red Bard2023-04-14 | ►DON'T FORGET TO SUBSCRIBE! --- I had the wonderful honor of hosting this panel with the awesome Samantha Ferreira (owner/EIC of Anime Herald) at Anime Boston this year.

Speedy editing isn't one of my strong suits, alas. Tell you what else really didn't help the already pretty long time this video took to make was the fact that in late October, power was out for pretty much all of central Oklahoma for nearly 2 weeks.

Ever since I made that product placement/displacement video I've been thinking it'd be fun to make a video dedicated to the surprisingly large number of anime Pizza Hut Japan has been involved with--and almost 2 years later, here we finally are!
Fun fact: when I first started working on content for this channel (2015), the very first video I wanted to make was a .hack guide. This video proved too ambitious for me, and to this day it remains unfinished; when I reached 100k subs a few months ago, I saw the perfect opportunity to give it a second try (meaning, yes, this video is effectively my 100k sub special!!

Thanks so much for your patience for this video! Originally, I was hoping to get it done in the middle of January, but it just kept hitting so many roadblocks that I ended up having to delay it twice! I think the end product is worth it though. A LOT more work ended up going into this video than I originally thought there'd be--more than in my first Tokyopop video, even.
Thanks again to Date, for directing me toward this BEAUTIFUL bootleg Giorno statue, haha. Fun fact: shortly after finishing this video, the (non bootleg) Giorno statue/pen ran out of ink :/

LEAVE ME A TIP ON KO-FI: ko-fi.com/redbardiscool --- We've been working on this collab for a while (hence why I'm using my old mic lol) so I'm really glad it's finally up! Serious props to Brody though, he did all the final editing (adding music, separating the list items, the exporting, etc.) so go show him some thanks by checking out the other half of this video and his channel! --- Facebook: facebook.com/RedBardIsCool Twitter: twitter.com/RedBardIsCool Tumblr: http://RedBardisCool.tumblr.com Insta: http://instagram.com/redbardiscoolThe Advertising of Hatsune Miku: An Ode To Bizarre Miku AdsRed Bard2018-07-21 | ►DON'T FORGET TO SUBSCRIBE! http://bit.ly/2dwYd62 --- ►Liked the video?

LEAVE ME A TIP ON KO-FI: ko-fi.com/redbardiscool --- Where you can buy The House in Fata Morgana: Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/303310/The_House_in_Fata_Morgana MangaGamer (physical copies): mangagamer.com/detail.php?goods_type=0&product_code=260 --- So how's the audio? Better, right? Well it shoud be since I FINALLY upgraded my mic!! :D Someone once pointed out to me that my 10 second review of The House in Fata Morgana was the only Fata Morgana review on YouTube. They pointed out what a shame that was since Fata Morgana is such a wonderful game, it deserves to have at least one legit review on here, right? Well, clearly I agree. I'm not very confident about my solo reviews, but by God, I put that aside long enough to work on this. Enjoy! --- Facebook: facebook.com/RedBardIsCool Twitter: twitter.com/RedBardIsCool Tumblr: http://RedBardisCool.tumblr.com Insta: http://instagram.com/redbardiscool
