Classic anime that influenced Evangelion

[@theburningcoder5859]

More people should watch older anime in general. It seems that most anime fans today don't watch anything from the 20th century and if they do, nothing beyond the 90s. Of course there are good modern anime but people are missing out on great stuff from the past.

[@TheGamingHarbinger]

I couldn't agree more. As long as people are interested, I would like to continue to include some older anime reviews. 😁

[@MutantHeadcrab]

If you want another Yoshiyuki Tomino series that gives you terminal tonal shock, you should check out Zambot 3. It wears the veneer of a traditional Giant Super Robot show, but is really about brainwashed child soldiers fighting against alien invaders who think you need a minimum of 10 war crimes a day.

[@TheGamingHarbinger]

That is a great recommendation! It sounds like something I would enjoy. 😄

[@Regal99]

Regarding the various death scenes, it shows death can happen with absolutely no build up, over in an instant, and especially indiscriminate.

[@TheGamingHarbinger]

I couldn't agree more! 👍🏽

[@WorthlessWinner]

On the language barrier. I think the character said "the ide is allowing them to understand us" or something along those lines

[@troloinkto]

you should watch Dunbine, it's "Kill em' all tomino" V2 it's actually the very first isekai anime, but it made a lot of "deviations" from the tropes that we know today about the isekai genre

[@TheGamingHarbinger]

I will definitely look into this one further. Thank you for the recommendation! 👌🏽

[@frankjaeger2565]

Dunbine was indeed influencial but it was also kinda bad. Victory Gundam is a way better "kill 'em all" Tomino show. And of course Zambot 3

[@bananian]

1:26 Wow, Sheryl just slapped the shit out of me!

[@DragzFire]

Good stuff brother…you were spot on with this 💪🏼

[@TheGamingHarbinger]

I appreciate you as always. ✌🏾

[@itsdantaylor]

I stumbled upon Ideon after watching Gundam IBO with what happens in that series most people compared it to "kill em all Tomino" and I had no idea what they were referring to, so I did some research.

[@TheGamingHarbinger]

Yeah, he definitely has a thing for killing off his characters. 😆 Sometime this year I would like to talk about Zambot 3...another really old Tomino property. Eventually I would like to cover the original Mobile Suit Gundam as well. I feel like I am being pulled into his earlier works. 🤣

[@WorthlessWinner]

Just finished the show. You seen the compilation movie? I think it explains things a lot better than the series while cutting the filler. I found it through the gif of the slap fight.

[@TheGamingHarbinger]

Yeah, I have seen Contact and Be Invoked. 😀 I would say it serves its purpose especially due to Space Runaway having moments of repetition. With that being said...I really enjoyed the series the way it was. I really wonder what the result would have been had Tomino been able to do the series the way he wanted. The series had such an abrupt ending. 😕

[@finntheseal7241]

1:26 can confirm they are still slapping up to this day with no sign of stopping 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@TheGamingHarbinger]

Indeed. I love how they slap the other person and then act surprised they got slapped back. 🤣🤣🤣

[@itsdantaylor]

7:44 I have watched Most of Ideon and I THINK the gif he's talking about may actually be from the Ideon movies. Contact and Be Invoked. Contact is a summary of the 39 eps with some added footage and Be Invoked is (to my knowledge) the missing final episodes compiled into a movie.

[@TheGamingHarbinger]

Yeah, the gif is taken from the movie Be Invoked. I also made a separate video for that movie. I did do it differently than this one....so it has a ton of spoilers, but was very fun to make. Be invoked is kind of a more detailed explanation of what happened in the last couple of episodes. There are some small details here and there that are altered (I.E. this character was killed in a different and more violent way).

[@itsdantaylor]

24:00 I THINK that the buff have universal translators or at least I recall Karala (I think that's how you spell her name) using one in the first 2 eps. MAYBE she provided translators to the others so they could intercept buff communications (which they do multiple times in the course of the show)? To be fair the translators, I don't recall are ever brought up again.

[@TheGamingHarbinger]

Yeah, they referenced it at the beginning of the series. My only guess is that maybe since they mentioned the translators once, they felt like there was no need to bring up both parties not speaking the same language and now Karala has provided everyone on the ship (which is a tad unrealistic) with their own pair. But I understand this is a minor complaint in the grand scheme of things. I think the movie and the series is extremely fascinating. 🤔🧐

[@seriouslypersona968]

Not the pimp slap contest hahahahaha 🤕💥

[@TheGamingHarbinger]

That's exactly what that was!!! 😂

[@Oueenazolatigressgina]

So what sort of other good psychological mecha anime are out there aside from Space Runaway ideon and Evangelion? I'm a huge sucker for psychological anime and I just started reading the manga for Evangelion

[@GenesicKaiser]

Rayearth, Raxephon, Fafner, Getter Robo(Armageddon or Manga), Gunbuster, Zambot 3,Mazinger Zero, Universal Century Gundam (It's a timeline), Martian Successor Nadesico, Big O, Vandread.

[@TheGamingHarbinger]

I think Genesic Kaiser's list is great. Some of these I have not seen in such a long time, it would be great to watch again. Zambot 3 is one I am looking forward to. That and Mobile Suit Gundam I plan to review in the future. I will probably do a couple of modern shows first, but I am really happy to get lots of feedback with the older anime. 😀 Not mecha anime, but Perfect Blue and Boogiepop Phantom are really good psychological thrillers.

[@arlekino0792]

And Bokurano

[@warchildgames]

Gotta step on the people

[@TheGamingHarbinger]

I guess its a mecha anime tradition. 😂

[@evagunpla7944]

It’s a shame I’ll never be able to watch this anime due to it being out of print & unavailable on all websites of purchase.

[@TheGamingHarbinger]

I hear you. I was able to watch it on Hi-Dive, but I know its not available everywhere. And it is a show I would love to add to my collection some day....

[@piracci1038]

You could find the anime + movie through not so legal means

[@TomySpot]

i like anime very much. this is good

[@TheGamingHarbinger]

Thank you friend. Keep pushing! 💪🏾 You are doing great with your channel!

[@TomySpot]

@@TheGamingHarbinger your channel is amazing to my friend

[@frankjaeger2565]

02:25 also similar to Victory Gundam 😂

[@TheGamingHarbinger]

Its a pretty amusing tactic. Or maybe its suppose be a pick-me-up after a sad episode. 😂

[@frankjaeger2565]

@@TheGamingHarbinger it's most likely what happens when Sunrise wants to sell toys to kids and Tomino keeps on doing what he does best 😉

Can beat some good anime 😌
