Welcome back my readers, YouTube viewers and all others who followed this series of articles focused on YouTube videos worth watching.
Have you been searching for something fun or interesting to watch on YouTube? Do you feel bored right now and you crave for something to see on the world’s most popular online video destination?
I recommend you check out the following videos I found.
#1 English-dubbed Super Dimension Fortress Macross episodes – As some of you are already aware, I am a Macross fan when it comes to anime. I saw lots of anime since I was little but it was the Super Dimension Fortress Macross anime TV series that I found very compelling and engaging to watch. A few years ago, I view all of the original SDF Macross TV episodes subtitled in English. Recently, I found this YouTube channel called MacrossMan and it featured all 36 SDF Macross episodes dubbed in English (the dub was done in 2006 by ADV Films). Apart from having a really good cast of voice actors, original Macross singer and voice actress Mari Iijima returned as Lynn Minmay complete with English dialogue! For your viewing pleasure, posted below are three videos covering the first 18 episodes of Super Dimension Fortress Macross.
#2 Castlevania II: Simon’s Quest revisited – The original Castlevania console game of 1986 is still widely remembered by long-time fans and retro gamers not only because it started successfully and paved the way for a long-running game franchise, but also because it was an inspired work that captured the popular elements of horror connected with pop culture. I noticed there are gamers who still replay the original Castlevania on different platforms to this day. Strangely enough, not too many Castlevania fans and retro gamers talk about the 1987 sequel Castlevania II: Simon’s Quest. I myself played and finished that game and it was loaded with gameplay features that made it play and feel different from its predecessor in many ways. To learn more about Castlevania II: Simon’s Quest, watch the retrospective video below.
#3 Japan’s effort to protect the future of food – Food is undeniably essential. Without food, people would not survive and nations will collapse. In Japan, there are these gene banks that store a few hundred thousand genetic resources. Those gene banks were designed to preserve varied food genes such as the rare heirloom vegetables, fruit varieties from around the world and more. These gene banks reflect Japan’s focus on ensuring food security as well as the survival of different types of food on the genetic level. Watch and learn from the Nippon TV video below.
#4 The House of the Dead remembered – Remember the sudden rise in popularity of zombies and horrific monsters in video games back in the mid-1990s? Apart from the success of the original Resident Evil video game, Sega made its presence felt in horror-themed gaming with the release of The House of the Dead in 1996. Powered by Sega’s Model 2 arcade hardware, The House of the Dead is a light gun arcade game that had players facing off with zombies and other horrific creatures. The game was a tremendous arcade success with sales of more than 8,500 cabinets globally and it led to the production of ports and sequels in the years that followed. If you are wondering who created The House of the Dead, what specific audience Sega targeted and what controversies did the game generate, watch the video of the late PatmanQC below.
#5 The 1989-90 Phoenix Suns remembered – Before Charles Barkley joined the Phoenix Suns and led them to the 1993 NBA Finals, the team’s strong formation and rise happened in the late-1980s. Entering the 1989-90 season, the Suns had the high-scoring Tom Chambers and the action-packed point guard Kevin Johnson who were already among the elite players. That said, the Suns made quite an impact on the Western conference during the 1990s NBA playoffs. To find out what the 1989-90 Suns achieved and why they were a solid team, watch the retrospective basketball video below.
#6 You, Me and The Movies reacts to The Return of Godzilla – Way back in 1984, Toho revived the Godzilla movie franchise with grittiness, darkness and the Cold War mixed in. They achieved that with The Return of Godzilla and it truly was a return to form for Japan’s iconic cinematic monster. To make things clear, this is NOT Godzilla 1985 which was a butchered low-budget Western version that had Raymund Burr. Recently, You, Me and the Movies posted their reaction video of The Return of Godzilla and it is entertaining to watch.
#7 Moxy Swim 2026 Miami Swim Week fashion show – Are you familiar with Moxy Swim? Moxy Swim is a popular, creator-designed brand of swimwear. During this year’s edition of Miami Swim Week, Moxy Swim had a flashy fashion show showcasing many beautiful women and the latest swimwear of the company. Watch and enjoy the video below.
#8 The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers reaction videos – In early 2003, I saw The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers in a local cinema with many other moviegoers. It is truly a great fantasy movie and the cinematic experience was captivating despite the long runtime. There are even a few film buffs who considered it the best of the LOTR film trilogy. To see how much of an impact The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers has on YouTubers, watch the videos below.
