I'm a few days late, but I found out that the Equestria Girls special "Forgotten Friendship" recently turned 5 years old. I remember watching the special when it premiered on TV and enjoying it because I liked seeing Sunset Shimmer temporarily return to the Pony World and briefly reunite with both Princess Twilight Sparkle and Princess Celestia. I also initially thought the special's main antagonist Wallflower Blush was a relatable character because I knew what it's like to be shy and often unnoticed. Because of the latter part, I had decided to make a PMV (Pony Music Video) out of the special centered primarily around Wallflower using a song that I thought fit her as well as her song "Invisible". I made this video a few months after the special's premiere, but sadly, it didn't get that much attention before my original YouTube channel got taken down (no idea why, because I worked hard on it).
Btw, just to let you know, my thoughts on both "Forgotten Friendship" and Wallflower Blush have slightly changed over the years--I now find the former to be just OK (but still better than "Spring Breakdown") and am more neutral toward the latter. Nonetheless, though, I am still happy with how this video turned out and consider it one of my better works. I just wish it gotten at least a little over 100 views on YouTube before my original channel was taken down...
That all being said, I hope you like this. And Happy 5th Anniversary to Forgotten Friendship!

Around the time my original YouTube channel jtrain027 got taken down, I had gotten into the DuckTales reboot (2017-2021). I consider it to be not only one of the best animated shows of the 2010s, but also a prime example of how to do a reboot correctly (something Cartoon Network currently fails with). And the best thing about DuckTales 2017 is that it's the animated debut of Della Duck--the long-lost mother of Huey, Dewey, and Louie, and twin sister of Donald Duck. With her fiery spirit, sheer determination ("Nothing can stop Della Duck!"), relationship with her family (especially her sons and Donald), and an excellent vocal performance by Paget Brewster, Della quickly became widely popular in both DT'17 and the Disney-verse, as well as a good role model for physically disabled people. I especially love her, and hope she gets to appear in more Disney media.
In early 2020, I started making a special AMV dedicated to Della Duck shortly before Season 3 of DT'17 started (hence why there are only Season 2 episodes shown here) using a song that I think fits her well. I never uploaded the video on YouTube because I was still bummed about losing my old channel and afraid of losing my default one (because the latter is also my Gmail account). So now you have the chance to see it here. I hope you like it.

One of my favorite animated movies The Last: Naruto the Movie has turned close to a decade old now. Although I don't watch the Naruto franchise much anymore, I still love this movie because it's what made my OTP Naruto Uzumaki and Hinata Hyuga aka NaruHina canon. And back in late 2016, I made a somewhat unique AMV that features not only clips of the movie, but also clips of me lip-syncing the used song; almost likes it's an official music video. Btw, if you're wondering why I look fuzzy in here, it's because I used a posturize visual effect to make myself look "animated" and to fit in with the movie.
When I posted this video on YouTube, it only got about 250 views (despite the 2-week hard work I put into making it) before my original channel was taken down. I doubt it can reach that amount here, but for those who are able to find this video, I hope you like it.

EDIT: Here's what I consider to be a "Director's Cut" of this video: https://odysee.com/@jtrain027:3/Don%27t-Blame-It-on-Me:2?r=3hZLNGy1CAph3HRAz5bM3QcHwhL3cFUM
On July 25, 2015, my mom and I went to the PNC Art Center in Holmdel, NJ to see a Def Leppard concert (with Tesla and Styx as the opening acts). Before we left home for the concert, I recorded myself playing along to one of DL's best songs (behind "Pour Some Sugar On Me"). I originally uploaded this video on YouTube on August 1, 2015. I don't remember the exact number of views it managed to get on YT before my original channel jtrain027 was taken down on July 25, 2018, but I'm fairly certain it was somewhere between 150 and 175. Either way, I had a lot of fun making this video back then (even with the obvious off-sync moments), so I hope you like it too.

Happy Halloween, everyone! To celebrate, here's an AMV I made back in October 2017 out of the controversial Mickey Mouse short "Runaway Brain". Believe it or not, after posting this video on YouTube that same month, it managed to get over 900 views (like even close to 1000) before my original channel was taken down. I guess some people found the video pretty unique with a Van Halen song over a Mickey Mouse cartoon. It makes me wish my original YT channel had stayed up at least a little longer so more people could've seen it...
That all being said, I hope you like this. And once again, Happy Halloween!

One of the best Sonic the Hedgehog games of all time, Sonic CD recently turned 30 years old. And in honor of that, here's an AMV I made back in October 2017 out of the 1990s Sonic OVA (Original Video Animation) movie, which featured one of the game's debut characters, Metal Sonic. I honestly enjoy the Sonic OVA despite its cheesy plot and English voice acting (as well as Sara being a mostly annoying character), mainly because of the slapstick humor, unapologetic suggestive themes, and battle between Sonic and Metal Sonic. It's because all that I decided to make an AMV of it back then using a song I was obsessed with from playing the Nintendo GameCube game 1080 Avalanche (don't ask me why). Initially, the video barely got half 100 views when I posted it on YouTube despite the hard work I put into making it. But after sharing the video's link with some people online, it managed to reach about 150 views (I think) before my original YT channel got taken down. Let's see how recognition the video can get here.
That all being said, I hope you like this. And Happy 30th Anniversary to Sonic CD!

Back in late 2015, I made my first AMV (Animation Music Video). When I was younger, I enjoyed "Ed, Edd n Eddy" a lot (one of my all time favorite Cartoon Network shows). And although the show itself didn't get a proper final episode, its TV movie "Ed, Edd n Eddy's Big Picture Show" was a great way to the conclude the series. So a few years afterwards, including watching a lot of different AMVs, I decided to create my own as a tribute to the TV movie.
I'm honestly proud of how my first AMV came out, namely using the black and white filter to fit the tone of both the movie and the used song. Also, while it took about a year or so after uploading, this was the first YouTube video of mine to reach 1000 views. I was really happy with that achievement.
That all being said, I hope you like it!

In addition to my "Don't Blame It On The Last" video (https://odysee.com/@jtrain027:3/Don%27t-Blame-It-On-The-Last-J.T.--NaruHina:a?r=3hZLNGy1CAph3HRAz5bM3QcHwhL3cFUM), here's what I consider to be a "Director's Cut" of that; which is just of me lip-syncing the Calvin Harris song "Blame" without clips from The Last: Naruto the Movie nor the posturize visual effect I used to make myself look "animated". Also, the head rocking was improvised during the recording (hope that doesn't give anyone a headache).
When I posted this video on YouTube in December 2016 (not long after "Don't Blame It On The Last"), it only got a little over 100 views before my original channel was taken down back in the summer of 2018. I doubt it can reach that amount here, but for those who are able to find this video, I hope you like it.

Back in Spring 2017, I made my first fandub video, which was of the opening scene of the Ed Edd n Eddy episode "The Ed-touchables" with Double D's doorbell (one of my favorite moments in the whole show). I voiced both Edd "Double D" and Eddy here. Outtakes are included in the end, where you can tell it took quite a few tries to get the "counting ants" part right.
Btw, sorry for the audio and quality being a little off; there were technical difficulties while making this for some reason and I couldn't fix them. Oh well, I hope you like it anyway.

In honor of International Women's Day, here's a short video I made out of an Equestria Girls fan comic back in March 2018. As you can tell, it's basically a spoof/reenactment of a scene from Ed, Edd n Eddy featuring the human counterparts of Rainbow Dash and Twilight Sparkle (aka Sci-Twi). And since no one else seemed to have done it at the time, I decided to make a video of the comic using audio from said scene. This turned out to be really successful, because when I posted it on YouTube, the video gained a lot of attention and quickly became my most popular one; earning over 20,000 views--the first (and sadly only) video of mine to do so--in the next few months. The video was also partly responsible for my original YT channel reaching more than 200 subscribers just a few weeks before it got taken down.
I highly doubt this video will get 20,000 (or either 1,000) views here like it did on YouTube half a decade ago, but I'm sure it will still be enjoyed by those who manage to see it.
