Digimon! Absolutel love for Digimon Season 1. I loved it better than all other cartoons for a good year or two, including Pokemon, X-Men, Spider-Man, Batman Beyond, Recess, Monster Rancher, Animaniacs, Rugrats, Angry Beavers, Rocket Power, Hey Arnold!, The Kids From Room 402, Angela Anaconda, Powerpuff Girls, Dexter's Laboratory, Ed Edd and Eddy, Scooby-Doo... um... yeah, pretty much everything until Dragonball Z & Toonami took over my life (see #26 above). The movie was a trip, and Digimon Season 2 had some great things going for it... but I fell off completely with BlackWargreymon and the Dark Spires. I must've tried three or four separate times and never got more than a few episodes further despite really enjoying the new kids and Kari's heightened role. Never gotten into later seasons despite hearing how good they were, or even Tri.

As far as soundtrack goes, Digimon: The Movie soundtrack goes hard. It captures early 2000s breezy cheesy skater-pop sunny Saturday morning vibes. If you could use it to sell a Capri-Sun, it was worth listening to. And exploring Japan's music with Brave Heart and Butter-Fly? *chef's kiss* This is probably me favorite track of all. It just pumps up the good adrenaline, like the best part of Secret of Mana's "Danger" but the entire song.

#24. DORCHADAS
Game: Shikkoku no Shirnoth
Nominated: Ed Bellis (September 2012 - CHANGED)
Score: - [3/7]
Games Rank: 9/61
Time: 4:36

Note: Hopeful winner of this year's VGMC.

VGMC! Someone else's nomination that I loved and supported for the two or three VGMCs I paid any attention to. DORCHADAS is a jaunty night at the local tavern. It's a journey, it's camaraderie, it's three cheers and a round of beers as the local band plays on a wooden stage. It's just such a good feel.

How is this song so epic? I thought before I started that it was going to be middle-to-low. Then I heard it again and it was so bombastic that it travelled up, but not too high. And then when I was eliminating... like it's not a favorite that I would slot in out of nostaglia, but it's too damn good to now have high. It's so epic, the video is insane, her voice is amazing, and Shrek uses it so well years from here. AHHH! AHHHHHH!

It's been so long since Discovery Channel was as good as this. Mythbusters, Dirty Jobs, Man vs. Wild, Deadliest Catch, etc. And this commerical was on par with a Toonami for grabbing your interest and promoting the channel so well. I love the way Bear Grylls says 'arach-a-nids,' Stephen Hawking's presence, and how it feels so global. It makes me remember that one guy, Matt, who had the video on Youtube where he just did a goofy dance everywhere.
