This is the most difficult video I've worked on to date, and it's not because of the edit itself, but because of the events that happened while I was editing:

I actually started editing this vid last year when OnK season 2 was still ongoing, but while I was editing I found out that someone stole one of my vids and managed to blow it up on their channel, meanwhile my own channel was struggling with the algorithm during that time. In my frustration I only posted the first part of the video and lost the motivation to finish the rest for quite some time (You can find more details in the description of the earlier edit:    • Genshin x Oshi no Ko season 2 OP teaser  ).

Honestly, I questioned whether I should continue putting more time into the channel or just quit content creating entirely and focus on my irl work instead, so yes it was THAT bad. Thankfully I was able to get through that period with the support of both my family and friends (for more context, I posted a vid about it here:    • Channel Update  )

After some time, I decided to come back to this project and finally finish it. Unfortunately, while I was doing the final edits for this video, Cloud, my cat, passed away. It was extremely difficult trying to finish this vid while coping with the loss of a long time companion (She was 15 years old when she passed).

Well, now it's finally done. As I type this though I'm not sure whether this vid will succeed youtube-wise, whether the algorithm would recommend it given this is technically a very late upload and OnK is no longer trending. I'll be honest, I'm a bit scared of what the outcome of uploading this will be, especially at a time when I'm struggling with loss, I'm not sure how well I'll be able to handle another rejection from the algorithm (my last 2 uploads did not do very well according to youtube).

But I wanted to still push through with uploading this because despite all the circumstances, I'm still glad I was able to see this whole thing through. I enjoyed putting it together, figuring out how to recreate the scenes in-game, filming together with Filo, and seeing how close the final vid was to matching with the original OP is very fulfilling.

I do hope you enjoy the video, and do know that even with the unfortunate events, I still enjoyed working on this video too :)
