[@chilledcactus]

I now know less about Animorphs.

[@themathmoth7393]

That's impressive, considering nobody knows anything about Animorphs.

[@dogman15]

This game is a very poor representative of the book series.

[@salixemarebalo5494]

Amen

[@SolarMegaMan]

I knew nothing of Animorphs and I still know less every time I watch this, I'm pretty sure.

[@SporkSlayer]

My favorite part was when the audience stopped cheering for dolphin and cheered for the shark instead to jinx it. And it worked.

[@lilwyvern4]

The rallying cry of "Dog! Dog! Dog!" speaks to us all on a spiritual level.

[@melishdoge4933]

It was probably the best part

[@timothymclean]

Half of the crowd that day was Chee. (The joke is funnier if you've read the books.)

[@Ragegamer2]

"Prepare to spend that $25. We're finishing under estimate GUARENTEED." >Looks at estimate >Looks at video title HA

[@RemyNote]

He was 25% certain!

[@litewavegames3967]

This run is extra weird to me, because I actually read these books as a kid, so I have a very, very vague sense of what's going on. Which honestly makes it even more confusing.

[@nilsosinga495]

Keizaron is such an amazingly entertaining personality on stage, and EdoBean being thoroughly unimpressed makes this run all the better.

[@trtx84]

This game is hilarious. Animorphs was all about stealth, yet you're a snake or elephant just cruising through the high school. Also, morphing right in front of everyone. Oh, also...assuming human form in front of the controllers.

[@theredeft5319]

I also love how in this game you have to defeat a animal in Pokémon style combat to acquire the morph. Like that’s definitely not the best way to get It hahaha.

[@mrb692]

For all of Keiz’s “luck” at GDQ, his runs are consistently great fun. Thanks to everyone who donated for this run, and to the folks at GDQ who keep letting him back 😄

[@serenfan4565]

I always look forward to any run Keizaron does, and this was no exception. This was probably the most successful run he has ever had at GDQ.

[@matthewbaker7513]

well yeah he actually finished this one

[@HankusTheTankus333]

Still over estimate tho lmaoooo

[@GeoffPlays]

I love Keiz. Maybe someday GDQ will learn to just add 10 minutes to his final estimate 😂

[@OniFox]

They added 25 minutes to his Estimate for Glitchless Pokémon Crystal lol because they didn't believe he could beat it in 3:30:00. They were right lol

[@vietnamgamer9490]

When he says clap, you clap. There is no debate.

[@Shwoosie]

Hunting down random Yeerks so you can eat them and regain your health is probably the most tonally accurate thing to the books in this game. The books got pretty disturbing in places, is what I mean.

[@slavkei]

The author just straight up said that the books are a war story, and wars aren't happy things with good ends. That's why the ending was so rough- she was trying to accurately portray how even close bonds formed in war may not last in peacetime, and that war doesn't just magically end with the bad guys dead and the day saved. Depressing stuff.

[@666blaziken]

For sure, i mean by the end of the series Jake is a broken man.

[@maskofice9432]

I clicked on this thinking "eh, let's rewatch the animorphs run again". But it's a new run! I am blessed!

[@fpcooper95]

I love this atmosphere! A nice, silly, fun run!

[@MarnieQX]

Chaotic, ridiculous but absolutely hilarious from start to finish..... I'd expect nothing else from Keiz.

[@DarkLitUniverse]

That last level must have been cut late into development, the instruction manual for the game still mentions Vizor III being the last boss. I think it may have also advertised 5 total missions, but it's been too long for me to remember.

[@DroWarriorOfLight]

I don't know how to explain it, but this was the fastest 52 minutes run I've ever seen. I enjoyed it too much and suddenly was over

[@Artista_Frustrado]

Animorphs broke Sent so hard he actually held every price by the correct side

[@felipemartins6433]

this run is so great and fun thanks to everyone involved! keizaroni is a great runner, couch is energetic and edobean is awesome, congrats to everyone! about the fifth mission, it was rather common at the time that passwords would actually translate into pieces of code and I believe that's what's happening here. the mission was probably scrapped and left in the files, that's prolly why no developer ever made the password available online.

[@tomkrawec]

I know more about Animorphs than is reasonable now.

[@88porpoise]

Ok, WTF was visser 3 there?

[@slavkei]

@@azuredragoon2054 Vissers are basically the yeerk high command, right? I never got to read the books , only hear about them from my friends.

[@DerpyLaron]

Keizaron is rocking that beared. The couch was awesome. Mike had so much energy I thought I never see him like that again. Awesome

[@Tesomanjarvi]

I hope Keizaron always comes to these events. By far one of the most entertaining people around. Great run

[@SrMiguelHache]

I remember thinking Keiz was legit mad at the end when Edo says “Happy Birthday.”

[@alexm.6148]

It's December now, and after everything 2020 has put us through I look forward to when we can have a gdq like this one again. Thank you awful block for helping me keep my sanity.

[@d729_]

keizaron is always my favorite part of gdq. pretty tight how shenanagans is there too lmao

[@miadaorerk1681]

I watched the Crystal speedrun he did and thought he exclusively did pokemon. Seeing Animorphs pop up as one of his speedruns is the exact opposite I was expecting but it feels like it fits him too well. Can't complain.

[@OverratedSage]

I never saw the original run, but I might have to go watch it after how entertaining this was. Awesome run, Keiz! Also, serious question: Do all of the moves in this game have single digit percent chances to hit or something?

[@renyuuzu]

That was actually the first game i ever played in my gameboy color, and i choose this over Zelda Link's awakening...

[@noahfessenden6478]

Oof. That's rough buddy.

[@mitchgosser2802]

"Why are we here? Just to suffer?"

[@ladsworld]

Keizaron is a national treasure. So is this game.

[@user-lh2hx5xf4e]

This pokemon crystal uber rando is interesting

[@Schwazoom]

Nothing like beating several seven foot blade monster aliens as a dog.

[@emmareiman64]

What I got out of this? Dog Dog Dog Dog Dog Dog Dog Dog Dog Dog Dog Dog Dog Dog

[@antimonia]

keizaron always has the most hype runs! this, crystal, and the OTHER animorphs game are amazing runs for all the wrong reasons

[@drgonstar7227]

I used to have this game when I was little. Never got past the first part. Glad to see someone destroy it

[@melishdoge4933]

A brief history lesson of this minigame You jump

[@gamerboygaming]

That was the most energetic run I’ve seen in a while.

[@mcmelchior69]

This was my favourite run from Awful Block, splendid job Keizaron!

[@SilvarusLupus]

oh no, this game is back lol

[@revengedealer]

Keiz's runs are always among the best at GDQs. This was hilarious and amazing ^_^

[@Rocelin13]

I actually had this game growing up, didn't know anything back then and the only thing I know about it now is the hidden 5th level and DOG DOG DOG!

[@Svorty]

This was such a wonderful experience :) I really do hope to see Keiz with another weird and wonderful run next year!

[@TaylaChan]

This is hilarious in so many ways

[@JasuchinFaron]

Wait, why the hell is Ax unable to fight unmorphed? He has a knife on his tail for fuck sakes! I'd think tail stab beats anything!

[@TheBonkleFox]

No. Dog.

[@WyrWulf]

GDQ Keiza block when?

[@slavkei]

Keiza Kaizo Block PLEASE

[@carterferris07]

Never watched a Animorphs run and it’s Keizaron, let’s check his estimate.... oh dear

[@LockonKubi]

I feel like I'm missing some context with the couch by not knowing what time this run happened.

[@andialternative]

best game EVER! lol love this run so much please bring it back next year!

[@aaronmnowak]

I wasn’t able to stay awake for this but I donated for it. Worth every cent amdnmore

[@leftythat5833]

This was so fun, I loved the whole run :D

[@zyerkos]

thank u keizaron for finally giving me a reason to start running this game

[@timothymclean]

26:20: I realize that questioning the logic of an Animorphs shovelware game is pointless, but...why can the shark punch things?

[@burntartic2239]

Lol, gg keizaron. I love the awful games block

[@sonpsychopat3180]

this is like a trainwreck. Its horrible but i cant stop watching

[@Nagantios]

Happy birthday, Keiz. LOL.

[@AbstractObserver]

Thats a weird pokemon, its pre-green version?

[@ChibiRuah]

lol glad to see this game is still brutal as hell but hey at least it got to the end

[@abrahamjacobs3103]

What's with the Bed/ Couch?

[@Supersneakerhead27]

pure chaotic neutral energy

[@maxthompson7107]

22:45 Pearl 1 22:50 Pearl 2 22:55 Pearl 3 22:58 Pearl 4 23:12 Pearl 5 23:19 Pearl 6 23:23 Pearl 7 23:28 Pearl 8 23:33 Pearl 9 23:39 Pearl 10 You got all 10 Pearls within less than a minute.

[@sonicchica]

Idk how I was able to beat this as a kid but after beating the game, I couldn't get any of the saves to work anymore. This game was hard.

[@jonthenamelessproject99]

Where did this "ORB" thing come from? the crowd did it whenever a Voltorb came out in Keiz's Crystal Run, it happened again in the Lets go Eevee run by Eddaket in which Keiz was on the sofa (Couch for all you Americans), I find it hilarious but I have no idea how it started hahaha

[@Nozo1234]

I think it came from a Celeste run, don't remember when it happened but you can probably find it

[@fpcooper95]

Critical Duality I’ve been watching GDQ for a few years and I’ve never found out lol. I don’t think I ever thought to ask 🤣🤦🏾‍♀️

[@sonnytapman]

Late here, but a SMW Speedrunner was playing without mic. At the end of Sunken Ship, you pick up an Orb to end the level. Dude turned on his mic, said “ORB,” scared everyone watching, and a meme was born.

[@edyfofashow]

The good old days when you had to write down a code to load your saves 😢😓

[@villiamfatkins9717]

Love you Keizaron!

[@pollinirr]

best run ever

[@miketacos9034]

Such a fun run

[@Zelmazam1]

This was my favorite run last time it was at gdq

[@aryasecretabsolu665]

Love you Keiz !

[@WoWMerke]

Back for my every-6-months watch :D

[@SerTapTap]

Best run ever

[@anenigma8378]

This "game" is absolutely terrifying. Glad to see the Animorphs community is brave enough to develop better strats and find new tech for this cartridge that produces repulsive imagery, cacophonous music, and many rng simulations.

[@ShyRanger]

I just now realized this is an Uibsoft game.... and I'm not very surprised.

[@legendslayer6558]

when i think of hork bajir i think of the rude kaisers from yugioh

[@TRGOTSVODS]

my boy did it!!

[@AdrianVenegasPanda]

did anyone have the interview of Keizaron before the run starts?

[@Winterreise189]

This is certainly a unique game

[@ambrose4947]

I was actually kinda hoping that there would be an Animorphs fan or two in there, but it sounds like no one really has a clue what the fuck's going on (Though that may be because of the fact that the game is absolutely batshit). They're great books, if you don't mind a LOT of 90s cheese.

[@itCamefromit]

I think this is top 10 Best Runs. haha

[@streetg850]

Soooo seeing this again next year right?

[@nicknevco215]

This game is weird I keep thinking there is world corruption happening.

[@evanc3666]

Why are some people in a bed?

[@somekindoflandcow]

Wow, I can't believe there's a secret final mission they just never let you play for some reason, with an actual final boss, too! What gives?

[@timothymclean]

Normally stuff like this had some technical or production issue, with the dummied out content being incomplete, buggy, or otherwise subpar. But with the quality of the rest of the game...

[@samanthafitzgibbon8597]

What did I just watch?

[@thearjguy7241]

Does anyone know how this game works? He's just pressing buttons and hoping for the best

[@videogamefelix]

that's right

[@salixemarebalo5494]

MOAR KEIZ

[@Klingrelimin]

There was an Animorphs game?!

[@quantum7502]

what was the audience yelling at around 23:00?

[@antwon8354]

Orb

[@trentdahlin]

I’m confused: Are all the fights RNG?

[@MarisuSedai]

Is this game really all that’s left of Animorph’s legacy? Every year it seems like fewer and fewer people remember it. 😔

[@badlydrawnturtle8484]

This guy's comments on what the plot is makes me sad. Animorphs is an amazing book series that this game doesn't do justice to.

[@Kylemsguy]

He's just commenting on the plot of the game, though... He pointed out how the game has nothing to do with the book series.

[@jnerdsblog]

DOS DOS DOS DOS DOS DOS DOS DOS

[@ronaldojonson7428]

ok ok so 9:08 that Pokemon reference was pretty damn funny! too bad no one got the reference

[@catsdogswoof3968]

There's a video game!?!?!!?

[@Yossus]

Why are they in a bed. Why is there a bed. I don't understand

[@yanastase]

WOOFWOOFWOOFWOOFWOOFWOOF

[@epsilon497]

Why was there a bed? I want answers

[@blara2401]

It was the middle of the night.

[@Cyberguy64]

Cassie is the worst Animorph. Heck, she was the one who ruined the last run. So it makes sense she's not Keizaron's friend.

[@radrgon]

25:00 イルカがサメに勝てるわけが…
