Criticism and advice for my videos?

Hey guys, so a few days ago I uploaded the first episode of a Pikmin let's play that I started making. I know that most people don't really care to watch smaller channels, but I was hoping that if you guys had time, you'd be able to watch it and give me some advice or criticism? I'd really appreciate it!

Here's the two episodes I have so far:

I am not a huge fan of the let's play format (I much prefer tightly edited and scripted) but I will play if you want

Your fish tank? is audible and it is quite distracting. You also want a pop filter (put a sock over it if you have to) as you hear every smack of your lips. I think I heard some buzzing in there at one point as well. Levels are OK though.
Why the silence over the intro? You appear to read everything else aloud, at least until you get bored, and explain aspects of the game ahead of when they need to be so it seems like some wasted time. At points then it appears as though it is a drudge for you rather than trying to get some people excited about a game you appear to quite like.
I will have to look properly but you might have deinterlaced that incorrectly (wrong field order), that or the Wii aliasing is worse than I remember.. Also I am not sure what the blue background is for.

@FAST6191 Thank you so much for taking your time to do this, especially if let's plays aren't what you prefer.

I actually didn't notice the fish tank on the recording until you pointed it out to me. I'm going to be switching over to another place where that won't be a problem anymore.
I did notice that the sound of my lips smacking was very noticeable, but I wasn't sure how to fix it. I'll be trying out the sock thing until I can get an actual pop filter.
The silence over the intro was because I don't like talking over important cutscenes so viewers can get the whole importance of them, but the first episode I had the game audio too low, so that was a one time mistake. Thank you for pointing it out anyways though.
I actually didn't notice that I rushed ahead a lot on the information, but when you pointed it out I went back to watch it and you are absolutely correct. I'll be working to fix that on future video, especially since this is a game I really love and I want more people to like it.
I'm not completely sure what deinterlacing is, so I'll look into that.
And the blue background is something I was experimenting with. I'm not sure if I'll keep it or not, but it seems like it's leaning to not.

Once again, I really appreciate your advice. I actually already had four videos recorded, but because these things would make such a difference in my commentary and audio quality, I might just redo all of them.
