BGRA is my new favorite anime

woah this anime is getting really freaking good

I'm here for the lore

2:05 - Since I don't know any of these characters, this whole sequence is just like watching one man document his own descent into insanity and schizophrenia. It's like, is this a new character or just Balrog in a different shirt?

We're getting into Undertale/Kingdom Hearts level of lore here even I can't understand all of it.

Something about me gives me that grin the whole way through of "this is super dumb and cheesy, but god damn if I don't love it." So much effort goes into these and I want to thank you for what you're doing.

Is this season about further proving that Wallid has Multiple Personality Disorder?

Balrog The pg filthy Frank who has about 100 k And gets under 1000 views within 15 minutes of uploading Sad

I'm starting to think the A in BGRA stands for Arcade.

This feels like it could be its own TV show. This is so good it makes my nose turn purple.

I watch this anime for the plot

this channel has more lore than siivagunner

In this episode we finally got Balrog's Twitter icon.

"I can't help but love you all" Something terrible is going to happen to these characters isn't it.

I'm really enjoying this new side of BGR. The past story bits have got nothing on this stuff, and I can't wait for what's gonna happen each episode, with the cool editing, characters, and the review stuff the same as usual. Congratulations, Blarg. You made your show into an anime. Well done.

You pump out videos faster than ever. Really hope that this is the last BGReboot.

Merry Happy HalloXMasween, Balrog. Real talk, your relaunch has been the perfect holiday present. I've been enjoying each episode, and I can tell you're really putting your all into the series. It's been a lot of fun so far. I always look forward to not only the reviews, but the overarching character plots, and that's a hard thing to do. Keep up the great work, dude.

These give me so much joy whenever you post!

Loved it!! That toilet gag near the beginning cracked me up so bad. Glad you're back, and I'm happy to watch your new adventures! :-D

Balrogs Bizzare Adventures

This is my favorite dumb video to watch.

im so glad you are back! these new videos have been amazing so far. Im really digging the new format. Keep it up! :)

So much balrog videos coming one after the other. After such a long drought, great work bro as always.

Watching this video is more important than doing my homework, right...?

Thanks so much for coming back, enjoy your videos so much

This backstory is absolutely insane! This is setting up to be an enriching series, like the game is just a sideshow to the plot of the adventure. I had to write this, awesome awesome awesome.

the characters being more involved is really growing on me, keep it up!

This is some Kojima levels of awesome man

I never noticed you were making reviews again. I'm subscribed, but i didnt recognize the new video thumbnails you're using; hell, i clicked this vid cuz i was bored and im glad i did. Glad to see you making vids again.

Well, the three videos mentioned in the update have all come out, and I absolutely LOVE IT! This really is going to be an extremely interesting series, and I can't wait for the future episodes. I still believe that Balrog should cover Mario 3 and/or Mario World (preferably and), due to the 3DS Versions being tied as my subjective favorite for 3, and my objective one for World, if that makes sense, which I mainly say since Episode 1 especially had a ton of Mario 3 references. Forgive me for repeating myself if you already saw this on Ep.1, but I just wanted to stress it again, as I really do hope it happens in the future, and I will happily wait for the end of time for that video to come out. :D Just know I absolutely adore your stuff, Balrog!

These are so good!! Can't wait for the next one.

I was supposed to play this with Balrog, but this one Zed kept biting my ass!

You should really give Bob Nintendo more of a role. He's my favorite character lmao

Woah, shit, I'm so glad that the Zombie Revenge theme suddenly popped in my head out of nowhere and made me look it up on youtube cuz this video was really awesome!! I don't even know which part to comment on all of it was so good!! xD This is the first video I've ever seen from you but I absolutely LOVE the plot and theme you have going here, it's actually pretty fucking awesome dude! I don't know if I've ever seen someone in this genre make a video that actually goes for some kind of.. I guess you might call it lesson (but that sounds pretentious which is the opposite vibe I get from this, lol), let alone does it in a way with such a good mix of silliness and meaning :P And also I adore this absurd frigging game! It used to freak me out SO much as a kid and eventually I got to play it properly once I was older and had an actual copy and not a demo - and I loved it, despite it being hard as balls at first (I seem to remember the character training would make the game quite a good bit more manageable, but its been at least 10 years so I could be remembering that all wrong)

Another review? I'm loving the frequency of these uploads!

Fun video! I'm looking forward to what else you have cooked up, Wallid! And speaking of cooking up things, do you mind sharing what else you have in your pun/dank memes book?

13:18 shots fired at the Nostalgia Critic.

+Balrog OK Sorry again for taking long but EH I end up late all the time so there’s no particular reason to keep saying that every week huh? ANYWAYS!...OH BOY THE LAST REVIEW!...And after that, I will still be doing this till October because in the main video screen you noted all the episodes as part of the story, though honestly I can’t FULLY see how because of what happens at the end of THIS episode, which I’ll get to later. But with that said, LET’S BEGIN THE FINAL REVIEW! After Final Review: That was an awesome review, and it truly put a smile on my face till the end, I didn’t even notice till the review was done. And as for the review itself, it was really awesome! And I can tell that you TRULLY WENT ALL OUT with the skits, and funny moments here WAY MORE then the previous two episodes, and that’s pretty impressive, and with a chessie game like THAT I guess you had a lot of excuses to do it THAT much, and in the method you did it on, From the skit with you talking like a bad Arcade game on 0:05, to Jerry making silly noises which made him the worse, as you put it, on 0:20 to 0:46, to showing how you come home and play a chessy game after a long day 1:17, everyone making fun of your acting 2:06 to 2:27 (Though I chuckled on what, and how, the professor said his lines on 2:10.) And I liked the tranition to the intro where they still make fun of you, but you can’t help but love them on 2:21..it was pretty cool. And the part when you comment on the announcer’s comment on EVERY ITEM YOU PICK UP 3:42 to 3:59, followed with the skit on 4:00, to you almost giving up and going to “The Man-Wel!” as you put it in 4:54, I like the part in it when you lift your finger up signaling you have and idea in 4:58, to your “Book of Puns” 5:55, where did you get the idea for that, and the idea to call him “Brick” for?...it’s kind of worse then “Stick” in my opinion. To your reaction to the Dream Cast Game Cartridge thingy on 8:59, to the times where you ether wanted to, SMASH it on 10:07 and pretty much ALL the moments that occurred when you first met “The Critic!” which you reaction to the name, and you realizing he was a figment of your imagination, with your response to that was pretty funny. And I got to say, I can tell THIS part was a blooper, and I can tell what you ORIGINALLY planed on ending that clip with jerry on 18:57 and so much more! The other stuff in the review was really good also, explaining how your experience with the game was, to explaining the games many unexpected elements that somewhat make this game MORE then a chessy arcade port. Like the fact that there are a lot of combo’s to learn for each character on 5:28 or 6:07 after skipping “The Book of Puns” clip to 7:09. To how you ended playing the game a different way in each playthrough in 7:09 to 7:51, to your explanation on the Dream Cast Game Cartridge thing “The VMU” mini games, to showing how “Bad” The voice acting is in the game 10:56, and so much more. And I got to say, how you fought back on “The Critic” in the final parts of the review starting here 15:12 was pretty cool, and I was glad at the time, and still am today, that you fought back the way you did, including pointing out the one thing that critics overlook in 15:27 and how you asked us that question on 16:38, and more, was pretty cool…because I too like a lot of games that a lot of critics online conseders bad, like sonic adventure 2, which I think you should do an episode on that for the show, and some others, I mean ya I do own a lot of critically praised games, though I sometimes like the games people consider bad also, so saying all that you brought up, something I don’t think anyone has done on youtube has EVER done in all the years I’ve seen videos, is pretty cool, and with what you teased at the end with you and wario going on a new adventure together to “Learn your roots” and so much more, is pretty cool, and I can’t wait to see how it turns out….by the way I think your NEXT review should be something that gave you the idea to do reviews with wario, or in general, in the first place, or….mabey a game you reviewed back in your “Forgotten Reviews” Playlist as I like to call it….and I saw one of them, and I can see why you wanted them forgotten. And I got to mention this…when the previeous episode came out, and I had a theory on what you were trying to say in the end clips with the critic coming out and such….I ended up figuring it out when I was wrighting a comment on it, A WEEK OR SO BEFORE THIS review came out….though I think I got some of the details wrong, I got to ask….you had ALL 3 of these episodes done right?...you didn’t have to add any clips or anything after every episode right?..I hope so because I got the idea from persona when I first commented that theory back then….and ya. There’s a lot more I could say, but I had an exsauting time wrighting this, including some problems with my computer for whatever reason, so I’ll stop it there. I like the review, I like the lessons you taught from it, about the main perpouse of video games, and more…..I like it. Well that’s THE LAST REVIEW! But It’s NOT THE END OF THE MARATHON YET!...I’m going to view all the side episodes the same way I do to my videos!...and I hope I can be at my best on thoughs days because I’ll admit…I wasn’t at the top of my game today, but OH WELL!...But wow….We reached the end of the reviews….that’s pretty cool…I thought it never end……It was cool going through this all over again. Well I’d better go! See ya! Balrog! Bye!

I love your videos Balrog! I like the lessons in each episode, and how the characters interact! I can't wait to see how the rest of the story unfolds! ♥️

So, does this mean we get episodes where Optimism Balrog reviews games and some episodes where Criticism Balrog reviews games, cause that would be awesome.

youre the only one less consistent than jontron.

I just finished watching the whole episode and it was so good! I really like the overarching story you've got going, the writing is clever, and the characters feel really memorable. One thing I think could've been improved on was how the Critic was handled. I personally think his role as the foil/rival/whichever term you'd like to use could've been extended a little; there was very little build-up to the climax of him almost being killed by the "main" Balrog. I'm not saying it had to have been dragged out across 3 episodes of him saying "THIS GAME SUCKS AND HERE'S WHY" but I think it was a slightly missed opportunity that we didn't see him get a bit more build up. Still, I really loved this episode and look forward to the next one. Great and job and keep it up!

Now that the first wave of BGRA is finished, I gotta say, this culmination is excellent and I look forward to more! You're absolutely at your best now in terms of KZfaq videos.

So happy 2 see new videos! keep it up

Good to see a video from you.

Loving the new series Balrog. Wishing you the best!

When do we get the review of my presidency

I dont know what you're doing differently this time but you video quality got so much better. Keep it up

Oh god he still has the Hoenn Tears bottle XD

Woo new BGRA!

I'm early better make a joke Balrog getting the silver play button

This...is the good version of the Star Wars prequels.

at first i was really confused with the 2nd reboot but I am really enjoying this format. keep it up! I've been enjoying your stuff for years!

Top 10 overpowered anime characters.

BALROG YOU ARE MY FAVORITE HIDDEN BLOCK MEMBER. I am making a Hidden Block game in RPG maker MV. I put the most character in you so far. I added You, Wario, The Profesor and Jerry

looking forward to the rest of the series keep it up

No, Balrog. You must embrace your anger. Let it flow through you and strengthen you. Hence forth, you shall be known as Darth Memer. Rise.

so balrog is clearly getting schizophrenic. i like it

Your show is just straight up an anime now. It's ridiculous and I love it.

This looks right up my alley! I'll have to try it out! P.S. Amazed you used a Bayou Billy track.

*CLICKING VIDEO QUICKLY INTENSIFIES*

holy fuck balrog im loving all of these videos! these are all awesome!

I recognized this game right away. It's cool you did a review on this! One of the characters appeared in PXZ.

Wait, did Jerry just impersonate Joseph Joestar?

Another great episode of my favorite anime

Was actually super excited when I saw a new Balrog vid in my subscriptions. Love you Wallid

We had this game cabinet at the theater in my small hometown. It was my reason for living sometimes

The best The Walking Dead game that never was.

Top ten Balrog review skit formulas Number 7

omg the crititc got away how will Walloid end pessimism?!?!?

BGRA is so good, love this series!!! shame ur not getting more views but you'll work back up soon with your quality :D

hi balrog are you still making videos man you have so much talent and you have such a prspective on gaming and I love it keep up the good work!!!!!

Memes... Also it's awesome that you make videos again

I came here to maybe learn about the Zombie Revenge VMU game. I stepped, instead, into MADNESS. What's happening?!?!! lol

I really love this storyline lol

Yo, Balrog. i must ask, how, when, and/or where did you get that rad map of Sinnoh? It looks much nicer than most of the maps of Sinnoh i've tried to create on my own, and i'm a huge fan of your videos! I guess I just never really noticed it until now.

Where do you get that damn into music? It has a really good beat!

What was that hero’s end remix you used at 19:07

Oh my gosh! This was so good!!! I'm a sucker for an overarching plot!

The announcer reminds me of that guy from Wind Waker. SPLOOOSH. That guy. Sounds like him, anyway. The design of the zombies in this game look great. Pretty unique, which is always refreshing (as refreshing as an old game can be?) I'm not a long time watcher by any means, but I'm really wishing now that I was! I'm loving this series so far (even with cheesy and campy anime influences. Actually, *especially* with those), and I'm super pumped for the next episode. :) Keep it up, man!

13:08 Okay, Jay Sherman.

This is ironic because I literally just bought a dreamcast yesterday and I had the choice to have it bundled with either zombie revenge or get grind radio. Because I didn't know what this was at the time I went with jet grind radio but now that I know this looks pretty fun, I'll probably buy it soon

Wow consistent uploads.

Loving the deep Balrog lore.

It's been 3000 years

I have no idea what I'm watching but also I love you

New BGRA so soon?! HOLY SHIIIIIIIIIIT.

(Clapping) Welcome back!

Oh boi, a new vid

Can i just say that the intro theme song is just fantastic! Ever season of this show, the theme song just gets better and better! Just like in anime....... holy crap your show really is an anime.

So far you're doing better than your former self, lol.

Really liking the arcade content lately.

balrog's game room bizarre adventures
