Fukumoto's artstyle reminds me of traditional ancient Japanese artwork, but within a modern context, & with that Picasso-esque touch to it! 😁

Man! They’re only subbing this anime now? This anime was dubbed into Arabic way back, probably more than 30 years ago! It’s so big where I come from and really deserves more attention. It’s one of my favorite anime of all time!

I was writing a very long comment here about the whole video before accidentally deleting it. I’ll make it again some day but I did just want to note one thing Tenten: if you haven’t taken a look, I highly recommend Naruto SD (Rock Lee and the Springtime of youth, or Rock Lee and his Ninja Pals), a chibi, comedy-centric spin-off of Naruto Shippuden. Tenten is a main character there and she’s hilarious. Single-handedly made me like her even though she’s only moderately in character (not that there’s a whole lot of character lolll). Hinata also features extensively (She has at least one scene in roughly half the episodes of which there are 51, and she's the main character of a few), and she’s also hilarious in it. If you liked 495 you will probably like it because it has similar humor, taking each character’s “gimmick” and just running away with it for dozens of gags. I was there when it came out and my initial thought upon its announcement was total indifference, I expected nothing whatsoever from it but after giving it a chance it ended up being one of the funniest anime I have ever watched. I’ve rewatched it from time to time over the last decade and it never stops being funny. Although the show isn’t as energetic and frantic as 495, it's more similar to something like Shin Chan or Bobobo. But if you're inclined to give anime-only Naruto material a shot, this is by far my favorite. Wish there was more.

Thanks for making this awesome video.

lol this video is criminal. Berserk is in a whole different league to gungrave

great vid

excellent video! what was the anime at 46:20 ?

9:13 I'am always cautious about watching mecha content made by people who love the most normie titles of the genre (Gurren laggan, Code Geass and Evangelion) and you didn't disappoint with an honest to God braindead take about Getter as a franchise. 1. What the hell do you mean by "barely has a continuity? Didn't you read the manga for this video? Or you just watched Getter Robo explained videos on KZbin? The manga by Ishikawa is the main continuity, that's it, not hard to understand. 2. ONE title in the whole saga is out of chronological order and is an entry that changes NOTHING by being read in chronological order, literally nobody in the history of the world complaims about that, just you. 3. So why the anime mostly being standolone is a bad thing? Each one is its on take on Getter, each one decided to have a new story, each one has a new continuity that literally makes easier for new people to understand not harder, you just pick the one you want and watch, again, you are the only person who complaims about that at all. 5. You said yourself, "spin-offs not written by Ken Ishikawa", they are spin-off, writen by other people, again, new takes on Getter that do new stuff, why you have such difficulty understanding the basic concept of something in a franchise being separate from the main originator? 6. Do you need someone to explain the story for you to understand? Armageddon begins in the middle of the chaos INTENTIONALLY, and as the show progress you understand more of what you didn't in the beginning, you don't need a radio drama for that, the radio drama was for marketing the series, is bonus storyline not an essential piece of the work. 7. For last, your take on Gurren Laggan having an ending is just silly. Gurren Laggan has an ending because the people behind it made with an ending in mind, not because one of the main inspirations didn't had a proper ending, looks like you made Getter sound more confusing and badly written than it really is just to make Laggan look better, in a video that is about what Laggan pays homage to this is just ridiculous pathetic an completely against the premise, seriously one of the worst takes I had ever seen in a 2 hour video supposedly made with passion to a work. Let's see if you do any better than this in the rest of the video, I hope you do and is just one minor take I have a nitpicky with. EDIT: Nope, your take on masculinity Getter is batshit insane, don't know if I want to hate watch this 2 hour if you keep the same awful takes. You don't love mecha, you are just talking out of your ass without exploring the themes of anything.

BTW, it should be noted how the English localization misses the point lots of times due to not having a foundation in a lot of this (and past JP media in general). One such example being the famous incorrect rendering of “Ark Gurren”.

Please please please pLEEEEAAAASE don’t do flashing lights again. Oh my god my eyes. Good video tho

Man, this is an absolute masterpiece! It gave me chills, brought me to tears. Your work shook me to my core, bringing back a flood of memories and emotions. The composition is so well-suited, and the frames sync perfectly with the rhythm, as if the track was made for this AMV. I've already rewatched it dozens of times. I'm a huge fan, no doubt!

1:29:52 was that JONTON era Game Grumps reference?! I can’t imagine too many people caught it so I’m acknowledging it here.

I don't think getter pilots are that deficient outside of piloting mecha or embody toxic masculinity, rather it's hyper masculinity bordering on animalistic. Ryoma is the embodiment of it. This is the guy who shows up to a martial arts tournament, calls it a dance contest, beats up everyone including judges and then leaves. Later he also kills multiple trained assassins sent by Dr. Saotome (who I think would embody your argument more as this guy is straight up lunatic) to "test" his skill. And in New Getter Robo he laughs at getting into a fight with multiple armed thugs and easily dispatches them not even paying attention to stab wound he gets along the way. He isn't a model for masculinity or an inspiration - he's an animal. Hayato... well, you know, rips one of his subordinate's face off for fun and plans to overthrow the government. And he could've probably succeeded judging by what we see later of him. He isn't a normal person either, he's unhinged, crazy, extraordinary. Yet he's the one who gets one of my favourite scenes in the whole manga. It's so minor most probably misses it. In Getter Robo Go when big bad plants bombs in big cities, Hayato's, I believe, fiance goes to diffuse one of those bombs while he monitors the operation from HQ. Suddenly she messes up and the whole city disappears in a flash of light. At this right moment in the next page we see Hayato's yes, just for one panel, dropping his usual stern look and showing immense pain and exhaustion from the weight he has to carry, from all people he had to sacrifice to ensure humanity's survival. Before quickly getting back into usual shape when getter teams walks in. If Ryoma is a wild animal that mainly follows on instincts and basic needs, Hayato is the overseer, the professor (after Saotome dies). He has to direct others and bear the weight of sending them to their doom. He doesn't want a glorious death, he wants a release. In Arc anime he even says: "Why? Why do you once again leave me as a sole survivor? Why must I continue to bear this weight? Why can't you take me with you?". Musashi (slash Benkei) is just a chill dude. Getter 3 pilots are usually straight guys to the rest of the group. And they usually end up the worst. Even if you're stable and perfectly functional individual like Gai getter will still drive you insane. Because that's just the nature of getter - only the most unhinged, barely human individuals qualify. That's probably the reason for getter hell on future Earth, where people merged to getter machines fight like rats for parts and getter generators to one day ascend to the sky where Dragon resides. I think that's the crux of the series - it's not that overusing getter rays will lead to some kind of cataclysmic event, not, getter itself is an eldritch cosmic force with it's own will that once fully manifested will consume existence itself. It's as if Spiral Nemesis was not only an inevitability, but also the direct source of power for protagonists and the reason they've got as far a they did. At the end of Arc getter trio rejects that inevitable future and I think this is where Gurren Lagann comes in since it's essentially just that - a hope against Getter's nihilism, humanity taking back it's future from cosmic forces that until then held it hostage.

still one of the best 8)

The answer is that Cosmic horror deals with things unknowable to AND indifferent or hostile (maybe inadvertently) to humanity. This is literally a thing that wants to improve or purify or reincarnate humanity. It's, like, totally the opposite of indifferent to them.

Where can i watch this anime?

Wall Street Journal???

I grew up with this show! I moved to Spain when I was 10 years old and this show was airing on a local channel. I loved season 1 so much but I missed season 2 because I thought the show only had one season. I caught back on when I saw season three was airing and I fell in love with Momoko's character. She was just like me: a kid moving to another country due to her parents jobs and with a huge language barrier. It shook my little heart to see someone like me represented in an anime. Your analysis of her was so perfect and reminded me why I love her and the other girls so much. This show is pure magic!

Bro, I hope Studio Eclipse delivers with their Berserk anime

in the middle of watching this show with some friends partially in thanks to this AMV (all 3 of us had been wanting to watch it for a while but this was like, the push)

If the anime Kingdom can do huge war battles then so can Berserk

Oh, my heart. In Italy we were lucky enough to get all four seasons of the show dubbed and it used to be my favourite thing in the world. I think I've watched every single episode (or close to that - I would ruin everyone's Christmas if they didn't turn the tv at 9pm sharp). I remember telling my friends about it, about how I had learned how to be a friend by watching Doremi, how it was different from other cartoons. But I couldn't really explain exactly in which way; after all, don't all the other magical girl shows do the same thing? The power of friendship and all that? I had neither the vocabulary nor the media literacy to explain that despite being a book-cartoon-movie worm with a passion for writing. As the years flew by, I would still remember the show as a little jem in a sea of children shows (some of the episodes are printed on my retinas despite having only watched them once and im elementary school) but I hadn't thought it could give me anything of value now that I've grown. This has shown me how wrong I was. Some parts had me bawling my eyes out😂 and i haven't cried like that in a while. Jesus. I can't believe how much more I can relate to some of the characters now that's I've got more experiences under my belt, and how much of my behaviour I can trace back to this damn anime. You might be about 15 years too late to convince me to watch it for the first time, but you're right on time to convince me to watch it for the second one 😊 thank you for this beautiful love letter

Naruto's filler benefited from making a lot of the side characters more memorable and iconic(geniunly think the reason why people are attached to the Konoha 11 so much when a lot of them had pretty limited screentime in the manga)

I'm currently watching as much of lupin as I can and it's been a lot of fun for me I love the highjinks and cartoonyness of what I've seen so I can't wait to watch more

BRO WOAAHHHHHHHHHHH MY LOVELY LOVELY SONG AND ANIME WTFFFFFFFF IT WAS VERY UNEXPECTED TO BE HONEST

She didn't deserve even one percent of what she got before, but deserves everything she sought....

Not interested in the premise at all, sorry, and it looks like not a lot of people are, if you look at the views. Seems sorta very pandering of you, considering where you work.

We really need a re-release of this show in the States.

A shame this was unlisted, it's like one of my favourite videos on the site

Anyone knows the song at 6:16?

Great insightful video on the mecha genre, all of it anchoring on Gurren Lagann was the icing on a very very good mecha cake. Thank you!

nah imma do it perfectly

this episode made me cry so hard

A whole 1 and a half hour of pure yapping all that for her Character to be one of the most terrible written in the whole show

Hinata is trash

Awesome video, man! I'm definitely gonna get the Blu-ray and check out that dub!

I finally finished Doremi so I finally watched this video! This show was a pleasure, the best surprise was how much this show made me laugh, so many great jokes and most of them were with Doremi being the butt of it. Doremi is now one of my favorite characters ever so when I got the the last part of your video I was as emotional as you! Great work 🥲

1997 was okay

Its beautiful that Gurren lagaan was inspired by so many animes and today we see gurren lagaan referenced everywhere, pootis engage, gildedguy story 8, jjk, even if everyone forgets it its influence will stay Its even written into the show, Kamina inspired to fight Simon and Simon inspired Kittan to take one of his broken drills with him into the spiral death machine

megalo box underrated

Honestly, I would be happy if the studio that made the 3 movies/memorial edition also made a new series. It is not impossible and I really don't see why anyone thinks it is "unadaptable" when it has already been adapted. 2016-2017 was terrible because the director was working on the exact opposite type of anime. I see what you are trying to say, and I think it will be difficult, but not impossible.

I appreciate this video simply for its use of a well written argument. It is unfortunately rare nowadays, or perhaps I’m looking in all the wrong places.

This AMV came back to mind after wathcing Akira the Don's latest visual album, which features some tracks with Ashita no Joe AMVs as the background. Ahita no Joe footage is used for "NEITHER CAN YOU" and "TAKE ACTION" songs. Other songs feature other old anime. Anyways this still rocks. And the Ashita no Joe footage works perfectly with the music I just mentioned too.

Saying that it can’t be Animated is Bullshit!!🤬🤬🤬 honestly give to an Anime Studio that will take care of it! And Of Course for the Last time fuck Censorship and sensitively! Cause we all want the Full Experience! With no hesitation! It’s time for Everyone to Encourage change and to Truly give it the Chance it Deserves! Along Tokyo Goul Remake for the Fans!!! We all Deserve better!

gold.

watching for the second time fantastic quote book don't have music :DD

If you really watched the show then you know it is NOT Lovecraftian. Fucking redditor.

"Speaking of the end of a really good thing" *cut to Gainax logo* Man, that especially fucking hurts in 2024

If you look at the endings of all the getter robo mangas it is never a definitive ending. But it is often a thematic ending. So it doesn't matter what happens after. Because we know what they are going to come together and fight to make the future they want to see. And there was also the 15 year hiatus. After Getter Robo G.

Thanks, this video, along with a clip from the baseball episode that kept getting recommended to me, convinced me to finally give this series a chance and now I'm starting the final season.
