It was dismissed as a hoax almost immediately. This was happening around the same time that "kek" had escaped Twitch and was becoming a common meme, so anyone with any common sense knew. Unfortunately the lost media community is filled with gullible, gullible children.
You know, if I had a nickel for every time a video game staring an anthropomorphic crocodile was involved in a lost media hoax… …I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot, but it’s still weird that happened twice.
Honestly, if the Christine Chubbuck footage never gets released publicly, I’d be fine with that. I understand the fascination, but I feel like her story tends to be sensationalized by the internet at large, and people can forget that she was a human being who died tragically, not a character in a creepypasta.
not to mention she has living family alive who most definitely still feel the aftershocks of her actions to this day. imagine that being your sister and waking up every day knowing people are trying to dig up her death footage for entertainment? it's an unfortunate case of just how strong the reach is when it comes to the consequences of suicide.
The fact that sickos would actually want to preserve/restorr that horrible moment is disgusting, these creeps treating a case of loss of human life as some kind of game or setting to discuss. It's despicable, they're treating the tragic death of an actual human being as some kind of stupid creepypasta, brings up unfortunate parallels to the Elisa Lam incident and following morbid perversion of neckbeards online. Anyone who watches any kind of sn\/ff footage or anything like that is an utter irredeemable degenerate, the fact that some sick f@#ks treat it as its something to discuss or build a semi hobby around is repulsive. That stuff is ungodly awful at its most common, and we certainly don't need ingrates trying to sensationalize or normalise it like with those two examples or the Funky Town Cartel. I'm honestly upset it's even in this video in the first place, especially how it's right next to things as silly and harmless as Kekrok and Angry Beavers and how he just switches to his normal cheery tone immediately after talking about a woman ending her own existince.
I'm interested as to why Go For A Punch caused a heated debate. Unlike The Clockman search (where from the beginning we were told it might've been on Pinwheel and there was a post from years before discussing the short), Saki had zero evidence for existing and was full of red flags from the start. That search feels more like a bigfoot hunt where each lead is eventually revealed to be a red herring. Someone on 4chan started the rumor on a thread that no one took seriously, and that someone couldn't provide any concrete leads other than "it's on the deep web". I understand that the guro genre had a bunch of media purged from existence and Saki could've been one of those victims. That said, anyone on online can post a story about how they saw a guru anime from a long time ago and it would have just as much credibility as Go For A Punch.
I agree about the red flags; the post itself had so many hallmarks of being a troll post (especially the 'I have eidetic memory but can't remember how I found the video') that it's a little surprising it was thought to be real for so long.
I think there's two or three big reasons 1. There's probably a number of obscure OVA* released in the late 1980s through the 1990s that are either rare or not even online (or are buried on anime pirating sites) 2. The premise, or at least the elements of Saki sound similar to a number of horror/mature anime that were released during that era, so Saki sounds extremely plausible if you don't assume that the plot is literally JUST these high school girls offing themselves and that there's more to it/misremembered parts. I'm sure a lot of anime fans could almost see it in their head. 3. People WANT to believe it's real, it sounds like it could be an interesting, disturbing horror OVA to discover *OVA stands for Original Video Animation, an industry/fan term for what are essentially a miniseries or straight-to-video movie (and usually on the shorter side of "movie" - think 45 minutes to maybe 90 minutes)
It's also likely a lot of people didn't read the original post in its entirety and only got the information about what it described second hand, so they didn't ignore the red flags, the flags weren't even shown to them in the first place. The description of the anime sounds totally plausible, the story about it being on the deep web (why? Animated violence, even if it's realistic or graphic isn't illegal and it's easily found on the clear net), the person being insanely shaken by it, and claiming to have a photographic memory is all totally stupid and obviously fake.
@@Blakbox92 yeah, it kinda reminds me of some of those gross PC-98 games, that are barely documented, like "X-Girl", "Rose Blood - Chi no Kawaki" and stuff like that, where there is a lot of gore (anime stuff was having a "gross-out" phase in general around that point). That is like the only thing that made it plausible in my mind.
And, I thought I was the only one who felt a weird sense of dread when I watched stuff about lost media. I think it's basically just that lost alone feeling, since that's what the media is at this point, lost, probably forgotten, never to be seen again until someone miraculously finds it, or they don't.
With that last one, I saw someone claim, "I think it's real because why would you put in the effort to fake a video like that?" and I thought, "To get attention!" That person A) underestimated how much some people will do to get attention and B) overestimated the amount of effort it would take to fake a clip (They claimed something like, "It would take effort to build an entire fake news set," not realizing that people can just edit a news studio set into a video rather than physically building one).
I think Saki sparks a lot of argument because the people looking for it want it to be real, and people who have been actively searching for it don't want to feel like they sunk time and effort into a hoax. Personally, even though I think it's fake (the original post is just laughable), the description sounds plausible, and it sounds like it could be a compelling animated short. If Saki *was* real, I'd watch it right away.
even if it does turn out to be a hoax (more likely than not at this point) it has sparked a number of fan animations, so in a way it's become real. i think that's super neat.
Yeah not everything needs to be available to the public And why do people want to see those tapes of the guy who got trapped in a canyon. They were personal and not meant for our eyes.
I'm surprised that you didn't mention the evil farming game were you have to hide your wife's dead body considering how big of a search it was and how humorous the ending is
Kekroc is so funny I'm not even mad about it being fake, it has the same vibe as Supra Mayro Bross Only difference being, Mayro is an actual game that anyone who wants to can play. I'm with you on the Beavers front, if only because it's such a cool plot idea. And about the Christine Chubbuck case, as someone who's watched a few NationSquid videos that's really screwed up. It's like a weird editing flex
@@RadikAlice As mentioned in this video, he just deleted the video and never acknowledged since. I was watching the video and thought "Him, really?". I watch his content often but I didn't know he did that.
On the episode of The Simpsons "Homer Goes To College" The dean says "I used to play bass for Metallica" probably without realizing what happened to Cliff Burton. Ever since the original airing he has said "I used to play bass for "The Pretenders." It is basically impossible to Google it at this point though as Metallica has been on an episode of The Simpsons and Homer has played bass on an episode, so all searches turn up results for those. I would love to find someone with a recording of the initial airing of the episode.
I can’t help but feel that if go for a punch was real and/or found it would be insanely disappointing. It’s way creepier as a piece of lost media then the actual description implies
While Go For A Punch OP is a troll, I do accept the possibility other people who say they saw it are conflating it with other obscure animations. Personally, I remember seeing a few cartoons on Boomerang over a decade ago that I can’t find online. Including one musical I now believe to be based The Count of Monte Cristo, but I could never find one that looked anything like my 15+ year old memories.
I said in another reply but Saki sounds super plausible to anyone who has been watching anime for a long time or is familiar with that era of anime. The vague themes and elements of Go For A Punch probably remind people of a lot of horror/edgy/hyperviolent anime from the 90s. The story, if you're hearing it second hand, of the poster finding it on some obscure video site, is a very common, nostalgic story for anime fans of the 00s. In fact, back in the 2000s you could even find random anime episodes on RUclips, ranging from super popular and common series like Dragonball Z to obscure artsy anime movies you can probably barely find today.
I figured I give it a shot to post in the comment section here. I have two pieces of Lost Media I’m after (this story is a wild one). The main piece of Lost Media I’m after is a recording of the Goosebumps Live On Stage play. It has been lost for many years, over 23 years. It was a play put on by Feld Entertainment known for their Disney On Ice and Monster Jam fame. Contact to them about the potential play recording has turned up no response. There exists physical media such as Play Merchandise and a book written by RL Stine himself adapting the story from the play he and Rupert Holmes (If You Like Pina Coladas fame) co-wrote to a book only available at the play locations between a very short window from late August to early December of 1998 before the play was cancelled. Meaning that play merch and the book are pretty difficult to find given that you had to attend the play during that narrow window to obtain it. There was a recent discovery on the internet of photo images that appear to be ripped from a recording of a play with a VH1 watermark on the photos and has sparked re-interest in the search but it actually has led to ANOTHER piece of the puzzle that is also Lost Media itself. In the late 90’s, the channel VH1 started programming shows such as Where Are They Now?. I have searched all over the internet for a complete season of the show during the 1999 time frame where this Lost Episode takes place but I haven’t turned up a single thing. The specific episode where the screenshot images that were discovered came from a Season 2 episode of Where Are They Now? called “One-Hit Wonders” which was the eleventh episode of the season and aired May 25, 1999. It features a segment on Rupert Holmes which contains the images (potentially clips) of the Live On Stage Play. That could be the only known televised image of the play currently known and the episode is being sought after to maybe direct the search into more specific hands. There currently is contact made towards Rupert Holmes via his website but nothing has turned up any response either. If anyone has any potential leads for a recording of the Goosebumps Live On Stage Play or the Season 2 Episode 11 Episode of the VH1 show Where Are They Now? called “One-Hit Wonders” from 1999, I’d be greatly appreciative. Great video as always Mike and keep up the great content 🤘
Fun Fact: Croc was actually meant to be a test for a Yoshi game pitch by Argonauts to Nintendo but Nintendo didn't pick it up. Being a bit salty of the whole thing, they swap Yoshi for their own character which was design to look like Yoshi still to show Nintendo what they were missing out. To me, he's not a rip-off in the traditional sense. He's less design to cash in and more a remnant of a scrap idea to prove a point.
I love lost media, but the one thing that irks me the most is media that never even existed at all which causes many people to look for something that wasn’t even there to begin with. Thank you for making this video and please keep making more lost media videos!! 💕✨
it doesn’t irk me or many others because we’re not the no lifers looking for these😂 probable make almost $0 discovering one so whats the point in caring lmao
I was cracking up at your jokes about Tara Strong, especially when you said she may be the narrator.... then I saw the name Christine Chubbuck, and knew this was about to get DARK.
I used to not like it, but I’ve come around and now think one of the neatest parts of your vids are the personal anecdotes about your experiences with whatever you’re talking about. It makes it feel unique and more personal.
The real Chubbuck footage should NEVER be released publicly. In that case it's not about the lost media, its about respecting the dignity of a real person. >.
for those wondering why Go For a Punch is considered a hoax, the alleged creator of the original 4chan post came out with screenshots of the post and jpegs used in the post with metadata from before the post went live. it’s pretty much confirmed a hoax
@@DrMedicsGameSurgery If it wasn't for that my first smartphone somehow ended up deleting all of the images on it by itself (when it was like 7 years old, and it previously randomly had corrupted images), I would still have kept the images on it "that long". I wonder if I lost any important images. Either way, I don't think I'm alone in keeping old images around indefinitely.
Part of why I would imagine Saki Sanobashi still being a heated topic in the lost media community is because the search became riddled with trolls who thought it was an ARG and decided to treat it as such. The end result is that when somebody claiming to be the OP made a post claiming that they had made the story up to troll the 4Chan user who asked about it, many people didn't believe them and instead insisted that they were another troll like some of the others claiming that they had seen Saki, only to follow it up with something adjacent to "lmao get prank'd bro"
The deepweb isn't full of ooky spooky gore like everyone hypes it up to be. You can literally find gore on surface web easy. Yes, there's CP on the deepweb, but unfortunately there is on the surface web too, and one can argue if there's more here than there. Second, a gory anime from the 80s-90s? Even today anime gore looks goofy. Third, it made a 4channer cry himself to sleep? It's fake. Many people are too goofy to realize it lmao.
@@piss7610 idk what the se ons ppint there means gore anime exists even if it looks bad? No opinion on if saki is real or not just not sure what you're getting at
I honestly don't want the Christine Chubbuck one to be found. its not like its lost media about a fictional suicide. its a real life one and that makes it even more morbid
Agreed, anyone who would want to uncover that or anyone sensationaling it is sick in the head. I even feel its inclusion in this video itself pretty inconsiderate/disrespectful/inappropriate.
From what i heard. Go for a Punch is currently being animated into a real thing. Sure the OG poster describing the anime said he was trolling but alot of fans wanted to see this thing become real so theyre starting to animate it. How exactly i dont know. But im pretty sure itll take the form of a highly professional Multiple Animator Project. But thats all i know about Go for a Punch. Everything else reguarding HOW they are gonna do this is roughly speculation
Can I just say that I do not like fake movie posters. Only because so many people don't actually know they're fake and don't even check if they are. No, Coraline 2 isn't coming out next year.
Same goes for those fake "trailers" that's just clips from the first movie. It used to fool me when I was younger, and they are always annoying. Especially those that said FULL FREE FROZEN 8!!! but then it's 3 hours of random else gate footage or something.
@@helterskelly1893 Coraline 2 is one of the few movies I can think of that I actually want a sequel to. I think they can do one if it's about Coraline going back to that place when she's grown up. BTW I'm not familiar with the books at all, and don't know if there were more than the first one of Coraline.
I'd love to see you cover the lost media search for the Raggedy An musical! Since live theater doesn't inherently mean footage exists, it was quite a search. The search was even told multiple times that no footage existed, even by the very archives that the full proshot was later found in!
The Christine Chubbuck hoax Is messed up in so many ways. She was a human being for God sakes. It’s OK to be fascinated like it’s normal when people are fascinated with serial killers. But this is a real woman Who contributed to society who is just I had severe depression and an illness. It’s messed up.
personally, i hope that the audio of christine's suicide is fake. to have it leak onto the internet without permission of the family/lawyer is disrespectful imo. plus its probably so traumatic for the people who were at the station the day she died, as well as her family who has probably seen the video. there would be so much unwanted attention that surrounds her family - it would probably just be them reliving the event all over again. may she rest in peace
i remember when that nationsquid video dropped and the subsequent video by reignbot. nationsquid is all but confirmed to have faked another case he talked about in a video, that of godlyrecon who has no evidence of existing outside of his video on her. i'm glad to see someone else point this out, esp since i remember it being a little bit of a thing in the horror community when it happened.
About watermarks - a piece of lost media I sold to be digitized was watermarked because of its history and to prove that was the source recording. I had copies of it made without my permission in the 90's (and I was worried about legal action then) and a fourth generation grainy copy was given to a woman who then claimed it was hers and used "special private showings" of it to entice people to be her friends and kiss up to her. She refused to release a higher quality version once the net took off and she couldn't anyhow, she didn't have the original, I did. Because of her, I sat on the original for 20 years and didn't share it but eventually, I contacted a collector seeking the origins of that media and let them know I had the source copy. Enough time had passed and I wanted to give it to the world. They chose to watermark it upon digitization to prove that IS the source copy and the woman who used it as a tool to manipulate people never even had the only copy or even a good or complete copy. I have more kinda lost/rare media but I plan to not watermark it when I finally get the set up to encode it to digital because there's no controversy surrounding it like that. Don't use lost media to manipulate people, kids.
Go For a Punch is interesting because in terms of Japanese guro/goreporn media, its extremely tame. Redo of Healer is a real manga and anime with more explicit content in it, and that's relatively well known and goes without even covering some of the more underground official media of the genre. I'm not really sure why Saki Senobashi became such a widespread search... but it makes me think that, even though the creator confirmed it to be a hoax, that there might be an actual anime or manga with a similar premise.
There likely is several dozen shows out there with the same premise. Hell, I can think of two or three, maybe even four different shows just off the top of my head that follow the theme of "School girls killing each other", which is why I'm guessing so many people are convinced they've watched it: Because they *have* watched something extremely similar to it, but not the same show. Maybe several people out there did watch a 90s/2000s gore anime that's now lost media, but they're looking for the wrong thing entirely.
@Lachlan Thompson It’s not supposed to be a Japanese word, though, it’s a name. Granted, Sanobashi isn’t a real name either, just wanted to point that out lol
No I remember an episode like that as well from the time angry beavers was airing in the Netherlands. Actually it was one of the only episodes which scenario I remembered trough the years, because... It made me want to fantasize being cuffed onto that one special girl I had a crush on. Also it didn't work out, I was very shy. :(
the whole Go for a punch is actually pretty fun soon or late they will end discovering other animes that actually exist but no one seems to remeber and honestly, this is a victory
On the Saki Sanobashi thing I stand on the same place as that gurochan user mentioned on Whang's video, it may have existed but guro being such a niche title and the internet playing a part on purging it from most video streaming sites that chances are it is lost Plus the whole fact that both Go for a punch and Saki Sanobashi are taken from barely remembered memories and the actual thing might even be called something completely different
Saki Sanobashi's legitimacy is a mystery since the original post was on 4chan. On one hand, the encouraged anonimity and trolling culture on the site could lead to people dismissing it as fake. But this wouldn't be the first time that genuine lost media was brought to the public's attention through 4chan. My guess is that, if Go For a Punch is real, OP misremembered the title and people are searching for the wrong thing entirely. But this feels like a case where we'll either find the film or never officially end the search since it's hard to prove it never existed.
I remember getting into an argument in the comments section of one of the uploads of the alleged Christine Chubbuck suicide video about how it was obviously fake.
As for Christina Cubbike one, awhile back and this was by complete accident, the audio of her death has been post on RUclips and I only found out about it from a disturbing sounds iceberg video I've watched
I'd love to hear about like lost interviews with famous people or something, I think that could be really cool, I know there's probably quite a few out there.
I was really surprised when Christine Chubbuck's audio was leaked. I read about the case in high school, right around or just before it started picking up steam in the community, and I've always assumed it'll be gone for good.
I was really surprised to see that old "New Kekroc" thing I did years ago in this video. I just made it for fun and just, yeah. I tried to include as many little references to some of the various claims and fake findings of the game. It was nice to just suddenly see that thing again.
My last comment didn't post or got deleted, but I wanted to leave a comment and explain that I'm the Brandon Pierce mentioned in your video during the Angry Beavers portion. I had forgotten I wrote that fanfic tbh, and I haven't posted on Toon Zone in years. Anyway, I wanted to include an additional detail about the Cuffed Together rumor. The earliest sighting that I can recall was an old voice actor database website (Voice Chasers, I think) mentioned it which confused fans. I don't know where the plot about Norb and Dag chewing on a wooden statue came from, but I based my fanfic around that rumor. Also, I don't really remember saying I had screenshots of the Snowbound pilot (which at the time was erroneously called "Snowed In" on most sites), but if I did, I may have been referring to the old screen shots of the original characters' designs featured in their Nicktoons Magazine.
I think that a good piece of lost media to talk about would be the lost JoJo's Bizarre Adventures: Phantom Blood movie, the lost Sgt. Frog movie, or the lost episode of Ghost Stories about the Slit-Mouthed Woman.
This may sound strange, but I want to see normal media that almost went lost. Kinda like how Toy Story 2 nearly got deleted I understand if it’s not possible but it’s just a suggestion
@@mollof7893Really? I have it on my:New Super XBoxcast-Stationcube advance color 364 23Ds Series X xl Pro lite. Edit:Forgot to mention that it's in the Special Kekcroc-green color, however this color is so advanced that normal eyes can't see it. That's why I can't show it to you.
I'm interested in a couple pieces of media that I've never seen anybody talk about in lost media circles and never been able to find online, one in particular being the Kaya song from the musical Circle of Friends. Circle of Friends was a musical based on the American Girl Doll characters, and it was performed at the American Girl store until 2009. There don't seem to be any bootleg recordings of the show, but the soundtrack, basically an audio only version of the entire show, was released on CD and can be found online easily, with one exception: a song based on the character Kaya. The song was added sometime after the shows run began, which explains why it's not on the CD, but I cannot find a version of it anywhere on the internet.
Dont know if anyones mentioned it yet but the evil farming game is a pretty funny example of fake lost media. Basically someone remembered a harvest moon type game where you kill your wife, as it turns out it was just a joke that came from a vinesauce joel stream and the original poster admitted to watching vinesauce streams while falling asleep.
I personally believe that Saki Sanobashi is a hoax (since the creator has from my knowledge confirmed it as a hoax.) However I do think that something similar does exist even if it is tame by guro standards.
The Chubbuck audio has me so conflicted. Forgive me for comparing this to chicken pox, but it's like feeling like you need to scratch them, but you know that if you do, you will only cause yourself unnecessary grief. That's how I feel about listening to it, or even seeing the video. Like, I know deep down that I don't want to because I know it will shake me to my core, but it feels like an itch that I'm trying desperately not to give in and scratch... And I don't know if I will be successful tbh 😞 Edit for autocorrect corrections
I'm from Argentina and remember an Angry Beavers episode in which Norb and Dag are cuffed together, it was a long time ago but the plot involved a magic book. I clearly remember them saying the book should be banned.
I actually didn’t know about the NationSquid thing. I really enjoyed his Freaky5 videos, and his 90’s/00’s internet related content. Although, after hearing about this, it makes me question all of his video’s credibility.
When I was a kid, I watched this movie with my parents and possibly a few of my siblings. I don’t remember much about it. It was live action. There were these two siblings (a boy and a girl I think) and they had this special ability to read these graphs. The graphs had a name but I forget what it was. I’m pretty sure their grandfather or father had some role. There was a scene of a woman or a girl in a bathtub at one point. I’m pretty sure they end up finding a book full of these graphs… none of my family can remember what it’s called. Definitely was made before 2010. My guess is early 2000s. I’ve tried to find this on google. No luck. Lmk if anyone knows what this is
"You really think somebody would do that, just go on the internet and tell lies" I was on AOL and the interwebs since I was 5 and I was never that freaking naive even as a derp child...
As interesting as go for a punch sounds I don’t think it’s real or at least the way people describe it isn’t. Yes there was a phase in the 90s with obscure and graphic ovas that have been forgotten over the years but at least people know those exist. It’s very convenient that the missing things are the site it was viewed on, the actual title and the animation studio behind it etc.. I don’t think people are ever gonna give up on it despite someone coming forward claiming it was fake
As someone who loves his Windows OS video retrospectives, I... don't know what my opinion is on NationSquid's actions. I'm already morally opposed to finding sequences of mortality for the sake of "Lost Media" - being intrigued is one thing, continuing to exhibit fascination and pursuit of such a sensitive topic to post onto the cesspool that is the internet - that is too far. Faking it must've been a massive disrespect to Chubbuck's family and the idea of finding it for all to see requires a better argument than just "archive everything". I'm still a big fan of OP and his channel, and as always most cases of Lost Media are fun scavenger hunts. But let's not deify suicide here. Some things don't warrant all the pomp and fanfare.
I feel like "go for a punch" was originally fake, but due to too many coincidences, it might be actually real. This wouldn't be the first time that this happened in my experience, with a conversation I had with a now dead friend about the existence of a crow-based Nintendo game. As it turned out, although it didn't exit outright, there was an ARG based of the concept. I wouldn't be surprised if this was was another case of that.
With Go For a Punch, I'd say it's MOSTLY fake. I believe the person who first brought it up online was making it up, but they were presumably inspired by and were basing it on something. Something far less obviously and ludicrously over the top and dark, but probably something eerie. It's just been twisted out of shape by internet rumourmongers.
people get into mad cope mode when they realize saki is just a 4chan shitpost boogeyman that never existed. Like I understand people want to see it but like, it doesn't exist and never has existed. At this point everyone is just grasping for straws or coping MAD hard about it.
Still pretty cool! To make a fan fic so on point it is mistaken as legit. A Nick feat only done one other time with a Jimmy Neutron fan fic that almost became the outline for Jimmy Neutron 2: The Search for Carl.
I think Saki/Go-FAP is probably a hoax. The fact that it can be abbreviated 'Go-FAP' points to that, as well as the level of detail in the description (enough to sound plausible, not enough to go off of), and that it doesn't seem like the type of thing that would have to be on the dark web. But, I think the search is kind of neat, with people discussing obscure horror manga and even working on making an animation based on it. Also, if it existed, I'm not sure it still does. If it's ever found, I think people would mostly be disappointed.
The main thing that makes kekrock super unrealistic is that the NES would not be able to run 3-D intro and it could probably not be able to run the intro on the SNES. It could run on N64 though

I have a hard time accepting that anyone would believe a game with "kek" in the name is anything other than a 4chan troll
It was dismissed as a hoax almost immediately. This was happening around the same time that "kek" had escaped Twitch and was becoming a common meme, so anyone with any common sense knew. Unfortunately the lost media community is filled with gullible, gullible children.

…I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot, but it’s still weird that happened twice.
Just wait for my upcoming hoax. It's gonna be a corker!
If I had a nickel for every time this joke was funny, I would be flat broke.
Honestly, if the Christine Chubbuck footage never gets released publicly, I’d be fine with that. I understand the fascination, but I feel like her story tends to be sensationalized by the internet at large, and people can forget that she was a human being who died tragically, not a character in a creepypasta.
TBH I don’t get why people look for lost suicide/death footage it’s just disturbing and just it’s best if those incidents and People are left alone
not to mention she has living family alive who most definitely still feel the aftershocks of her actions to this day. imagine that being your sister and waking up every day knowing people are trying to dig up her death footage for entertainment? it's an unfortunate case of just how strong the reach is when it comes to the consequences of suicide.
The fact that sickos would actually want to preserve/restorr that horrible moment is disgusting, these creeps treating a case of loss of human life as some kind of game or setting to discuss.
It's despicable, they're treating the tragic death of an actual human being as some kind of stupid creepypasta, brings up unfortunate parallels to the Elisa Lam incident and following morbid perversion of neckbeards online.

I understand that the guro genre had a bunch of media purged from existence and Saki could've been one of those victims. That said, anyone on online can post a story about how they saw a guru anime from a long time ago and it would have just as much credibility as Go For A Punch.
And the dude provided proof that he was in fact the creator of the hoax
I agree about the red flags; the post itself had so many hallmarks of being a troll post (especially the 'I have eidetic memory but can't remember how I found the video') that it's a little surprising it was thought to be real for so long.
I think there's two or three big reasons
1. There's probably a number of obscure OVA* released in the late 1980s through the 1990s that are either rare or not even online (or are buried on anime pirating sites)
2. The premise, or at least the elements of Saki sound similar to a number of horror/mature anime that were released during that era, so Saki sounds extremely plausible if you don't assume that the plot is literally JUST these high school girls offing themselves and that there's more to it/misremembered parts. I'm sure a lot of anime fans could almost see it in their head.
3. People WANT to believe it's real, it sounds like it could be an interesting, disturbing horror OVA to discover
*OVA stands for Original Video Animation, an industry/fan term for what are essentially a miniseries or straight-to-video movie (and usually on the shorter side of "movie" - think 45 minutes to maybe 90 minutes)
It's also likely a lot of people didn't read the original post in its entirety and only got the information about what it described second hand, so they didn't ignore the red flags, the flags weren't even shown to them in the first place.
The description of the anime sounds totally plausible, the story about it being on the deep web (why? Animated violence, even if it's realistic or graphic isn't illegal and it's easily found on the clear net), the person being insanely shaken by it, and claiming to have a photographic memory is all totally stupid and obviously fake.
@@Blakbox92 yeah, it kinda reminds me of some of those gross PC-98 games, that are barely documented, like "X-Girl", "Rose Blood - Chi no Kawaki" and stuff like that, where there is a lot of gore (anime stuff was having a "gross-out" phase in general around that point). That is like the only thing that made it plausible in my mind.
Lost media always leaves me with a feeling of dread and sadness but I can’t get enough of it
And, I thought I was the only one who felt a weird sense of dread when I watched stuff about lost media. I think it's basically just that lost alone feeling, since that's what the media is at this point, lost, probably forgotten, never to be seen again until someone miraculously finds it, or they don't.
Lost media always gets me scared because of a character named fawful (not the Mario character) a creepy children’s TV show character
I feel this same feeling too! Idk why and I don’t like it but I can’t help it :/
I used to feel dread at first but after 8 years of interest It grows into fascination
Exactly my thoughts
With that last one, I saw someone claim, "I think it's real because why would you put in the effort to fake a video like that?" and I thought, "To get attention!" That person A) underestimated how much some people will do to get attention and B) overestimated the amount of effort it would take to fake a clip (They claimed something like, "It would take effort to build an entire fake news set," not realizing that people can just edit a news studio set into a video rather than physically building one).
I think Saki sparks a lot of argument because the people looking for it want it to be real, and people who have been actively searching for it don't want to feel like they sunk time and effort into a hoax.
Personally, even though I think it's fake (the original post is just laughable), the description sounds plausible, and it sounds like it could be a compelling animated short. If Saki *was* real, I'd watch it right away.
even if it does turn out to be a hoax (more likely than not at this point) it has sparked a number of fan animations, so in a way it's become real. i think that's super neat.
I wouldn't, that shit sounds horrific.
"The Christine Chubbuck tape is one of the most sought after pieces of lost media..."
Why?! And by whom?!
Yeah not everything needs to be available to the public
And why do people want to see those tapes of the guy who got trapped in a canyon. They were personal and not meant for our eyes.
Mostly edgy kids who never experienced the loss of a loved one
1: it’s lost media
2: idiots who don’t know that a newswoman literally ended her life on live tv
I'm surprised that you didn't mention the evil farming game were you have to hide your wife's dead body considering how big of a search it was and how humorous the ending is
OP must’ve had one hell of a realistic dream
@@Meleedroit
Was it too realistic?
Kekroc is so funny I'm not even mad about it being fake, it has the same vibe as Supra Mayro Bross
Only difference being, Mayro is an actual game that anyone who wants to can play.
I'm with you on the Beavers front, if only because it's such a cool plot idea. And about the Christine Chubbuck
case, as someone who's watched a few NationSquid videos that's really screwed up. It's like a weird editing flex
Thank fuck someone calls out Nationsquid. he never apologized.
@@piss7610 Has he ever even acknowledged this?
@@RadikAlice As mentioned in this video, he just deleted the video and never acknowledged since. I was watching the video and thought "Him, really?". I watch his content often but I didn't know he did that.
On the episode of The Simpsons "Homer Goes To College" The dean says "I used to play bass for Metallica" probably without realizing what happened to Cliff Burton. Ever since the original airing he has said "I used to play bass for "The Pretenders."
It is basically impossible to Google it at this point though as Metallica has been on an episode of The Simpsons and Homer has played bass on an episode, so all searches turn up results for those.
I would love to find someone with a recording of the initial airing of the episode.
I can’t help but feel that if go for a punch was real and/or found it would be insanely disappointing. It’s way creepier as a piece of lost media then the actual description implies
While Go For A Punch OP is a troll, I do accept the possibility other people who say they saw it are conflating it with other obscure animations. Personally, I remember seeing a few cartoons on Boomerang over a decade ago that I can’t find online. Including one musical I now believe to be based The Count of Monte Cristo, but I could never find one that looked anything like my 15+ year old memories.
Probably based on something by uziga waita, like lord gore's album cover for the autophagous orgy
Can you talk more about the cartoons on boomerang.I live in another country and speak another language so there is a possibility that i can find them
I said in another reply but Saki sounds super plausible to anyone who has been watching anime for a long time or is familiar with that era of anime. The vague themes and elements of Go For A Punch probably remind people of a lot of horror/edgy/hyperviolent anime from the 90s.
The story, if you're hearing it second hand, of the poster finding it on some obscure video site, is a very common, nostalgic story for anime fans of the 00s. In fact, back in the 2000s you could even find random anime episodes on RUclips, ranging from super popular and common series like Dragonball Z to obscure artsy anime movies you can probably barely find today.
@@Blakbox92 as someone who has been collecting anime for 30 years, it sounds like straight bullshit.
@@Blakbox92 The person straight up admitted it was a hoax,
I figured I give it a shot to post in the comment section here. I have two pieces of Lost Media I’m after (this story is a wild one).
The main piece of Lost Media I’m after is a recording of the Goosebumps Live On Stage play. It has been lost for many years, over 23 years. It was a play put on by Feld Entertainment known for their Disney On Ice and Monster Jam fame. Contact to them about the potential play recording has turned up no response. There exists physical media such as Play Merchandise and a book written by RL Stine himself adapting the story from the play he and Rupert Holmes (If You Like Pina Coladas fame) co-wrote to a book only available at the play locations between a very short window from late August to early December of 1998 before the play was cancelled. Meaning that play merch and the book are pretty difficult to find given that you had to attend the play during that narrow window to obtain it. There was a recent discovery on the internet of photo images that appear to be ripped from a recording of a play with a VH1 watermark on the photos and has sparked re-interest in the search but it actually has led to ANOTHER piece of the puzzle that is also Lost Media itself.
In the late 90’s, the channel VH1 started programming shows such as Where Are They Now?. I have searched all over the internet for a complete season of the show during the 1999 time frame where this Lost Episode takes place but I haven’t turned up a single thing. The specific episode where the screenshot images that were discovered came from a Season 2 episode of Where Are They Now? called “One-Hit Wonders” which was the eleventh episode of the season and aired May 25, 1999. It features a segment on Rupert Holmes which contains the images (potentially clips) of the Live On Stage Play. That could be the only known televised image of the play currently known and the episode is being sought after to maybe direct the search into more specific hands.
There currently is contact made towards Rupert Holmes via his website but nothing has turned up any response either.
If anyone has any potential leads for a recording of the Goosebumps Live On Stage Play or the Season 2 Episode 11 Episode of the VH1 show Where Are They Now? called “One-Hit Wonders” from 1999, I’d be greatly appreciative.
Great video as always Mike and keep up the great content 🤘

Fun Fact: Croc was actually meant to be a test for a Yoshi game pitch by Argonauts to Nintendo but Nintendo didn't pick it up.
Being a bit salty of the whole thing, they swap Yoshi for their own character which was design to look like Yoshi still to show Nintendo what they were missing out. To me, he's not a rip-off in the traditional sense. He's less design to cash in and more a remnant of a scrap idea to prove a point.
I love lost media, but the one thing that irks me the most is media that never even existed at all which causes many people to look for something that wasn’t even there to begin with. Thank you for making this video and please keep making more lost media videos!! 💕✨
it doesn’t irk me or many others because we’re not the no lifers looking for these😂 probable make almost $0 discovering one so whats the point in caring lmao
@@altqq1755 not everything is about money my guy
Pretty much bruh 🤣🤣
Go for a punch pained me when it was basically confirmed it never existed
ruclips.net/video/zPGf4liO-KQ/видео.html you’ll love this lost song then
I was cracking up at your jokes about Tara Strong, especially when you said she may be the narrator.... then I saw the name Christine Chubbuck, and knew this was about to get DARK.
Yeah, there was no good way to transition to Christine. 😬
I used to not like it, but I’ve come around and now think one of the neatest parts of your vids are the personal anecdotes about your experiences with whatever you’re talking about. It makes it feel unique and more personal.
The real Chubbuck footage should NEVER be released publicly.
In that case it's not about the lost media, its about respecting the dignity of a real person. >.
for those wondering why Go For a Punch is considered a hoax, the alleged creator of the original 4chan post came out with screenshots of the post and jpegs used in the post with metadata from before the post went live. it’s pretty much confirmed a hoax
the only issue is yo ucould fake the metadata easily , and who keeps images for that long as well
@@DrMedicsGameSurgery If it wasn't for that my first smartphone somehow ended up deleting all of the images on it by itself (when it was like 7 years old, and it previously randomly had corrupted images), I would still have kept the images on it "that long". I wonder if I lost any important images. Either way, I don't think I'm alone in keeping old images around indefinitely.
@@DrMedicsGameSurgery yeah but still, the dude totally faked it just to fuck with people. the anime sounds so fake it’s like a 2007 creepypasta
@Lachlan Thompson that’s because it’s a fanterm and not the original title, which was something like Go for a punch
@Lachlan Thompson it could have been bad trnaslation or just straight up misremembering the name
Part of why I would imagine Saki Sanobashi still being a heated topic in the lost media community is because the search became riddled with trolls who thought it was an ARG and decided to treat it as such. The end result is that when somebody claiming to be the OP made a post claiming that they had made the story up to troll the 4Chan user who asked about it, many people didn't believe them and instead insisted that they were another troll like some of the others claiming that they had seen Saki, only to follow it up with something adjacent to "lmao get prank'd bro"
The deepweb isn't full of ooky spooky gore like everyone hypes it up to be. You can literally find gore on surface web easy. Yes, there's CP on the deepweb, but unfortunately there is on the surface web too, and one can argue if there's more here than there.
Second, a gory anime from the 80s-90s? Even today anime gore looks goofy.
Third, it made a 4channer cry himself to sleep?
It's fake. Many people are too goofy to realize it lmao.
@@piss7610 idk what the se ons ppint there means gore anime exists even if it looks bad?
No opinion on if saki is real or not just not sure what you're getting at
I honestly don't want the Christine Chubbuck one to be found. its not like its lost media about a fictional suicide. its a real life one and that makes it even more morbid
I highly doubt Saki exists, but the search is so complex with so much red herrings that i cant tell what is a lead and what isnt
I have a deep interest in the morbid but it would be nothing but disrespectful to release the footage of her dying.
Agreed, anyone who would want to uncover that or anyone sensationaling it is sick in the head.
I even feel its inclusion in this video itself pretty inconsiderate/disrespectful/inappropriate.
From what i heard. Go for a Punch is currently being animated into a real thing.
Sure the OG poster describing the anime said he was trolling but alot of fans wanted to see this thing become real so theyre starting to animate it. How exactly i dont know. But im pretty sure itll take the form of a highly professional Multiple Animator Project.
But thats all i know about Go for a Punch. Everything else reguarding HOW they are gonna do this is roughly speculation
Can I just say that I do not like fake movie posters. Only because so many people don't actually know they're fake and don't even check if they are. No, Coraline 2 isn't coming out next year.
Same goes for those fake "trailers" that's just clips from the first movie. It used to fool me when I was younger, and they are always annoying. Especially those that said FULL FREE FROZEN 8!!! but then it's 3 hours of random else gate footage or something.
I know Coraline 2 will likely never come out but let me pretend that there is a sliver of hope
@@helterskelly1893 Coraline 2 is one of the few movies I can think of that I actually want a sequel to. I think they can do one if it's about Coraline going back to that place when she's grown up.
BTW I'm not familiar with the books at all, and don't know if there were more than the first one of Coraline.
I'd love to see you cover the lost media search for the Raggedy An musical! Since live theater doesn't inherently mean footage exists, it was quite a search. The search was even told multiple times that no footage existed, even by the very archives that the full proshot was later found in!
The Christine Chubbuck hoax Is messed up in so many ways. She was a human being for God sakes. It’s OK to be fascinated like it’s normal when people are fascinated with serial killers. But this is a real woman Who contributed to society who is just I had severe depression and an illness. It’s messed up.
Absolutely!
Since December is upon us, how about a Christmas special about Christmas lost media?
I'm not religious, but still a '10 Pieces of Religious Lost Media' would be pretty interesting.
I'm glad that nationsquid changed his content from scary top tens (and lying about stuff) to tech vids.
His old videos were good too though :(
@@ToxPhy they were yes.. But he tended to sprinkle in some fake stuff (like godlyrecon and the fake christine footage). And then act shady about it.
personally, i hope that the audio of christine's suicide is fake. to have it leak onto the internet without permission of the family/lawyer is disrespectful imo. plus its probably so traumatic for the people who were at the station the day she died, as well as her family who has probably seen the video. there would be so much unwanted attention that surrounds her family - it would probably just be them reliving the event all over again. may she rest in peace
I also feel so bad for the people who watched it on TV. I can't imagine how traumatic it is for everyone who saw it
i think that the footage and audio should stay lost forever
@@amessoffandoms7897 one of the few times an opinion was the same as a fact
i remember when that nationsquid video dropped and the subsequent video by reignbot. nationsquid is all but confirmed to have faked another case he talked about in a video, that of godlyrecon who has no evidence of existing outside of his video on her. i'm glad to see someone else point this out, esp since i remember it being a little bit of a thing in the horror community when it happened.
About watermarks - a piece of lost media I sold to be digitized was watermarked because of its history and to prove that was the source recording. I had copies of it made without my permission in the 90's (and I was worried about legal action then) and a fourth generation grainy copy was given to a woman who then claimed it was hers and used "special private showings" of it to entice people to be her friends and kiss up to her. She refused to release a higher quality version once the net took off and she couldn't anyhow, she didn't have the original, I did. Because of her, I sat on the original for 20 years and didn't share it but eventually, I contacted a collector seeking the origins of that media and let them know I had the source copy. Enough time had passed and I wanted to give it to the world. They chose to watermark it upon digitization to prove that IS the source copy and the woman who used it as a tool to manipulate people never even had the only copy or even a good or complete copy.
I have more kinda lost/rare media but I plan to not watermark it when I finally get the set up to encode it to digital because there's no controversy surrounding it like that. Don't use lost media to manipulate people, kids.
Go For a Punch is interesting because in terms of Japanese guro/goreporn media, its extremely tame. Redo of Healer is a real manga and anime with more explicit content in it, and that's relatively well known and goes without even covering some of the more underground official media of the genre. I'm not really sure why Saki Senobashi became such a widespread search... but it makes me think that, even though the creator confirmed it to be a hoax, that there might be an actual anime or manga with a similar premise.
There likely is several dozen shows out there with the same premise. Hell, I can think of two or three, maybe even four different shows just off the top of my head that follow the theme of "School girls killing each other", which is why I'm guessing so many people are convinced they've watched it: Because they *have* watched something extremely similar to it, but not the same show. Maybe several people out there did watch a 90s/2000s gore anime that's now lost media, but they're looking for the wrong thing entirely.
@Lachlan Thompson It’s not supposed to be a Japanese word, though, it’s a name. Granted, Sanobashi isn’t a real name either, just wanted to point that out lol
A video on lost archeological stuff could be interesting (ie: the hanging gardens of Babylon)
This is a really cool idea! I'll add it to the list
@@AllThingsLost You will?
Library of Alexandria, Statue of Collosus
I don't believe that Saki Sanobashi/G4AP exists, but I would really love to be proven wrong.
I feel like something like Go For a Punch could have been real, but it was heavily buried and hidden. Idk why
I swear I have seen an Angry Beavers episode like that, but I also know how false memories can be triggered with lost media.
No I remember an episode like that as well from the time angry beavers was airing in the Netherlands. Actually it was one of the only episodes which scenario I remembered trough the years, because... It made me want to fantasize being cuffed onto that one special girl I had a crush on. Also it didn't work out, I was very shy. :(
the whole Go for a punch is actually pretty fun
soon or late they will end discovering other animes that actually exist but no one seems to remeber and honestly, this is a victory
I genuinely want to learn coding and modelling just to make an actual Kekcroc game. Our boy needs more love.
On the Saki Sanobashi thing I stand on the same place as that gurochan user mentioned on Whang's video, it may have existed but guro being such a niche title and the internet playing a part on purging it from most video streaming sites that chances are it is lost
Plus the whole fact that both Go for a punch and Saki Sanobashi are taken from barely remembered memories and the actual thing might even be called something completely different
Kekcroc would look like a very convincing European Mega Drive game, if I didn't know it was a hoax from That Place.
I want to believe "Go For A Punch" is real because I love me some gore/horror anime but...there's not that much proof out there.
Saki Sanobashi's legitimacy is a mystery since the original post was on 4chan. On one hand, the encouraged anonimity and trolling culture on the site could lead to people dismissing it as fake. But this wouldn't be the first time that genuine lost media was brought to the public's attention through 4chan.
My guess is that, if Go For a Punch is real, OP misremembered the title and people are searching for the wrong thing entirely. But this feels like a case where we'll either find the film or never officially end the search since it's hard to prove it never existed.
I remember getting into an argument in the comments section of one of the uploads of the alleged Christine Chubbuck suicide video about how it was obviously fake.
In regards to Saki Sanobashi, even if it's not real, it WILL be, eventually.
As for Christina Cubbike one, awhile back and this was by complete accident, the audio of her death has been post on RUclips and I only found out about it from a disturbing sounds iceberg video I've watched
I've seen a convincing fake. Pretty sure you did too.
I'd love to hear about like lost interviews with famous people or something, I think that could be really cool, I know there's probably quite a few out there.
i swear i was mid the croc 3 one and then i remembered... "wait... this is a hoaxes vid. lmao" caue i was totes believing the hoax
Ya croc 3not existing is a huge bummer wish it was real I would've loved a demo
I was really surprised when Christine Chubbuck's audio was leaked. I read about the case in high school, right around or just before it started picking up steam in the community, and I've always assumed it'll be gone for good.
I was really surprised to see that old "New Kekroc" thing I did years ago in this video.
I just made it for fun and just, yeah.
I tried to include as many little references to some of the various claims and fake findings of the game.
It was nice to just suddenly see that thing again.
I believe that something like Saki Sanobashi could be real, the 80's produced a lot of OVAs, ofc not all selled well and OVAs are easy to lose
My last comment didn't post or got deleted, but I wanted to leave a comment and explain that I'm the Brandon Pierce mentioned in your video during the Angry Beavers portion. I had forgotten I wrote that fanfic tbh, and I haven't posted on Toon Zone in years. Anyway, I wanted to include an additional detail about the Cuffed Together rumor. The earliest sighting that I can recall was an old voice actor database website (Voice Chasers, I think) mentioned it which confused fans. I don't know where the plot about Norb and Dag chewing on a wooden statue came from, but I based my fanfic around that rumor.
Also, I don't really remember saying I had screenshots of the Snowbound pilot (which at the time was erroneously called "Snowed In" on most sites), but if I did, I may have been referring to the old screen shots of the original characters' designs featured in their Nicktoons Magazine.

I'm interested in a couple pieces of media that I've never seen anybody talk about in lost media circles and never been able to find online, one in particular being the Kaya song from the musical Circle of Friends. Circle of Friends was a musical based on the American Girl Doll characters, and it was performed at the American Girl store until 2009. There don't seem to be any bootleg recordings of the show, but the soundtrack, basically an audio only version of the entire show, was released on CD and can be found online easily, with one exception: a song based on the character Kaya. The song was added sometime after the shows run began, which explains why it's not on the CD, but I cannot find a version of it anywhere on the internet.
Please do a video on lost Eddsworld media, there is SO much lost stuff there, from games, comics, animations, and even a book are lost.
Wait, a book? I've never heard of that before
Dont know if anyones mentioned it yet but the evil farming game is a pretty funny example of fake lost media. Basically someone remembered a harvest moon type game where you kill your wife, as it turns out it was just a joke that came from a vinesauce joel stream and the original poster admitted to watching vinesauce streams while falling asleep.
I personally believe that Saki Sanobashi is a hoax (since the creator has from my knowledge confirmed it as a hoax.) However I do think that something similar does exist even if it is tame by guro standards.
We love to have a mass debate over Saki Sanobashi 😄
The Chubbuck audio has me so conflicted. Forgive me for comparing this to chicken pox, but it's like feeling like you need to scratch them, but you know that if you do, you will only cause yourself unnecessary grief. That's how I feel about listening to it, or even seeing the video. Like, I know deep down that I don't want to because I know it will shake me to my core, but it feels like an itch that I'm trying desperately not to give in and scratch... And I don't know if I will be successful tbh 😞

I actually didn’t know about the NationSquid thing. I really enjoyed his Freaky5 videos, and his 90’s/00’s internet related content. Although, after hearing about this, it makes me question all of his video’s credibility.
When I was a kid, I watched this movie with my parents and possibly a few of my siblings. I don’t remember much about it. It was live action. There were these two siblings (a boy and a girl I think) and they had this special ability to read these graphs. The graphs had a name but I forget what it was. I’m pretty sure their grandfather or father had some role. There was a scene of a woman or a girl in a bathtub at one point. I’m pretty sure they end up finding a book full of these graphs… none of my family can remember what it’s called. Definitely was made before 2010. My guess is early 2000s.
I’ve tried to find this on google. No luck. Lmk if anyone knows what this is
Great video man! Love what you did with the topic. Keep up the good work.

As interesting as go for a punch sounds I don’t think it’s real or at least the way people describe it isn’t. Yes there was a phase in the 90s with obscure and graphic ovas that have been forgotten over the years but at least people know those exist. It’s very convenient that the missing things are the site it was viewed on, the actual title and the animation studio behind it etc.. I don’t think people are ever gonna give up on it despite someone coming forward claiming it was fake

What I find interesting about the Nation Squid tape is how convincing it is. I just wonder where he got it, or how he made it
As someone who loves his Windows OS video retrospectives, I... don't know what my opinion is on NationSquid's actions. I'm already morally opposed to finding sequences of mortality for the sake of "Lost Media" - being intrigued is one thing, continuing to exhibit fascination and pursuit of such a sensitive topic to post onto the cesspool that is the internet - that is too far. Faking it must've been a massive disrespect to Chubbuck's family and the idea of finding it for all to see requires a better argument than just "archive everything".
I'm still a big fan of OP and his channel, and as always most cases of Lost Media are fun scavenger hunts. But let's not deify suicide here. Some things don't warrant all the pomp and fanfare.
Honestly, if someone fell for a game titled "KEKcroc" they deserve being jested
I feel like "go for a punch" was originally fake, but due to too many coincidences, it might be actually real. This wouldn't be the first time that this happened in my experience, with a conversation I had with a now dead friend about the existence of a crow-based Nintendo game. As it turned out, although it didn't exit outright, there was an ARG based of the concept.
I wouldn't be surprised if this was was another case of that.
With Go For a Punch, I'd say it's MOSTLY fake. I believe the person who first brought it up online was making it up, but they were presumably inspired by and were basing it on something. Something far less obviously and ludicrously over the top and dark, but probably something eerie. It's just been twisted out of shape by internet rumourmongers.
We need a fangame of Kekcroc.
There I said it.
people get into mad cope mode when they realize saki is just a 4chan shitpost boogeyman that never existed. Like I understand people want to see it but like, it doesn't exist and never has existed. At this point everyone is just grasping for straws or coping MAD hard about it.
I remember cuffed together. it was finger cuffs, not handcuffs
I remember that too, finger cuffs.
Still pretty cool! To make a fan fic so on point it is mistaken as legit. A Nick feat only done one other time with a Jimmy Neutron fan fic that almost became the outline for Jimmy Neutron 2: The Search for Carl.
Finally some new information on one of these topics. Everybody just repeats the same thing
I think Saki/Go-FAP is probably a hoax. The fact that it can be abbreviated 'Go-FAP' points to that, as well as the level of detail in the description (enough to sound plausible, not enough to go off of), and that it doesn't seem like the type of thing that would have to be on the dark web. But, I think the search is kind of neat, with people discussing obscure horror manga and even working on making an animation based on it.
Also, if it existed, I'm not sure it still does. If it's ever found, I think people would mostly be disappointed.
i like how you labeled it go-fap
2:28 I just noticed the “jesus” picture on the back of the art is Mike Faist
The main thing that makes kekrock super unrealistic is that the NES would not be able to run 3-D intro and it could probably not be able to run the intro on the SNES. It could run on N64 though
Hell yeah a new All Things Lost video!
