Non-gaming videos that introduced you to a video game

I was first introduced to Touhou when I saw the Ronald McDonald Insanity video. At the time, I just thought of it as a cool and weird video. I later found out that the song from the background was from Touhou: Embodiment of the Scarlet Devil. Afterwards, I played it and became aware of the Touhou series.

i have one related to touhou as well. it's been a long time since i thought about it but i remember a lot of youtubers back in the day would make references to the nitori get down video, and i had no idea it was from a game until i tried finding the song one day. after i found it i was like "what the hell is a touhou" and now it's one of my favorite game series lmao.

Curiously I had a similar experience with Touhou. It was a parody of some sort that involved Jojo. Funnily enough shmups are not my thing, but that video stuck with me. I think the video was called "Touhou isn't meant for Mac" or something like that.

I don't know if this counts, but I watched the original Danganronpa anime series through to completion before I ever knew it had anything to do with video games. I've still never played any of them, but I have some fond memories of that show. Good soundtrack, too.

For me it was the opposite (I watched the anime after playing 2 of the three games), mostly because I wanted to know if they screwed things up. They are good games, if you are willing to sufficiently increase your disbelief suspension.

Wow! I literally saw this video for the first time yesterday. I was thinking of Devil May Cry and the devil trigger forms. Then, I just looked up Kazuma Kaneko out of boredom and decided to watch this video.

What a small world
