    Dude. Real talk. Your current season of episodes have been nothing but pure gold. You truly have improved your entire style going from being a copy with borrowing because you were new to the genre of angry reviews but loved what you were watching to pretty much being your own thing entirely. The flow is so great. I really hope your channel grows to that million mark that you deserve. Keep up the good work.

    it's always a shame when big franchises in Japan never end up being as succesful in the west, like Macross could've been huge if only Harmony Gold hadn't sat on the rights for so many decades, they only just now finally allowed the series to cross-over to the USA.

    Thanks for encouraging me to get the famicom. Did you know that it is also interesting how it is linked in the parodius games, twin bee is a selectable ship in that game? I own it on the Japanese Sega Saturn. The japanese indeed do have better shmups than we do for most parts. Whats funnier is that Gradius, Twin Bee, Stinger, and Parodius are all under the same company. Yet, for the Sega Saturn version of the game, all three ships are selectable.
