"Nobody dies on the first boss..." "...Unless its Dark Souls"

[@fv2977]

+Ethan Bailey Or any of the Touhou games. They make even Ikaruga look soft by comparison. Whenever I die on a Souls game, I just think back to Perfect Cherry Blossom, in order to put things into perspective.

[@That3th3]

+Vociferous Enmity Yes definitely

[@Kakuretaka]

Black fire bombs = dead first boss and Demon hammer drop. Get good scrub

[@dreadvii6832]

+Kakuretaka XD That's what I did.

[@TheJakeHurd]

Black Fire bombs? I suppose if you want to take the easy way out. Patience is the name of the game.

[@amememachine8974]

Gonna be honest, i thought this was zarya for a sec.

[@kingharry6368]

[@MBMaK]

+Pikapetey Animations i mean... the art style is amazing!! glorious 80s anime style!

[@PikaPetey]

[@ricepiratemick]

+BewideredWombat san cheesy as the dialogue was, it's all in the spirit of good fun . glad you liked it

[@flmalegre]

Pretty much what Wombat said. As soon as I heard your voice I knew I was in for some tight shitz.

[@OfficialRedTeamReview]

Disney please hire this man...first T-Fighter and now this? COME ON

[@GiffysChannel]

Disney better keep their grubby paws off this beautiful man

[@pisfool3860]

*OMG FINALLY SOMEONE MADE AN R-TYPE ANIMATION YEEEEEEAAAAAAAH*

[@lonewolfmerc9665]

that's was awsome!!!it had that 90s action cartoon show vibe

[@mashed]

+Daniel Mata That's what we were trying to do! So thank you

[@lonewolfmerc9665]

+mashed this is a animator I would watch and any of your vids that matches this vibe

[@steelgear3876]

try the 80s :P

[@lethauntic]

+Daniel Mata If you don't know, Paul Johnson, or OtaKing77077 here on youtube did the animation, it looks really nice. It has the credits in the description, but not everyone notices that stuff down there.

[@lonewolfmerc9665]

+lethauntic that's helps alot thx

[@andrewgonzalez3214]

wait is this animation made from the same guy who made that star wars animated video?

[@leolarose2099]

yup,crazy isn't it

[@TVsTewi]

He is a bloody god since he does most of these by himself. He gets some help here and there but my god...

[@marsolive628]

Yep, and you could say he's the king... the Otaking that is

[@dynxt-_-3243]

but why isn't it on his own channel?

[@BADC0FFEE]

because it's paid work for mashed

[@ganador13]

Thank you, Paul Johnson, for, once again, putting so much effort into sharing something so beautiful with everyone. I really appreciate your hard work and the same from your associates.

[@RoronoaZoroSensei]

SO 90s!!! it's ridiculous how few subscribers this channel still has, this is everything that maschinima-happy hour was when it was still good!

[@MrGert150]

the dialog is pretty bad but the animation was fucken awesome

[@doug6405]

I guess they're really hammer in the 90s anime vibe ... But I still kind of agree with you about such a thing though :y

[@kingofroses302]

Its the animation that makes up for it

[@doug6405]

oh yeah it does It really does :D

[@Oberon117]

+MrGert150 Agreed, It's not great but the dialog has kinda been drowned out by the animation quality anyway.

[@fatcat3207]

dialog is cringing.

[@sw0rdf1sh2326]

This is awesome! The coloring, character design and detail really remind me of Megazone 23 or other 80s anime OVAs; definitely a great one, along with the TIE Fighter short.

[@Manonthe3up]

As a lover of the R-Type series, this is just some sort of masterpiece.

[@TeamLegacyFTW]

0:52 "Fair enough then" .. my exact reaction every single time my physical body is thrown into a video game.. because you know, that always happens to me.

[@jonprevans]

This is so awesome. Even hearing the first few bars of the music sent shivers down my spine. Takes me back to days at Paignton Amusement Arcades and my big bag of 10p coins. Thanks so much for doing this :)

[@cyriak]

Great animation. However, the "force" pod in the game doesn't have those 4 antennae unless it has been fully powered up.. ;)

[@jasonko9694]

what is the point are you trying to say here

[@Corad4]

+Jason Ko Grab the power ups : P

[@OtaKing77077]

+cyriak You're the first person to notice or mention this in thousands of posts! But I'd expect nothing less from the man who can see up to 1 microRamsay without even donning spectacles. Also, your animations are glorious.

[@WeskerXM96E1]

+OtaKing77077 I have to say i noticed a couple of things like that but i don't give a shit it was marvellous!

[@MarioNintendoh]

Oh damn, cyriak!!

[@Foreignstar]

I love how the style is 80s-90s anime. LOVE it!!

[@user-iw7ch9lq4p]

凄い！！R-TYPEだ！！ 懐かしいしクオリティ高いな！ ラスボスまで見たい！

[@tromboom59]

If only this level of quality was standard for you guys...

[@mashed]

+tromboom59 If it was the standard, you'd see a new animation every 5 months, not every week...

[@thop7964]

ROASTED! Also, Mash...FUCKING 17 FPS!? DDDDAAAAAMMMMNNNNNN!

[@tromboom59]

mashed I would much rather have a video of that quality so I can enjoy it thoroughly instead of looking at a video weekly and closing out 10 seconds in... Not to say I don't appreciate the effort, but the level of execution in this vid was much higher, and much more enjoyable for me personally. Not trying to start shit, or offend, just thought I'd throw out my two cents.

[@mashed]

+tromboom59 We totally get that and no offence taken haha - in an ideal world we would release less often and spend way more time on each release. But the way KZbin works, releasing that infrequently has a pretty high chance of totally burying us and that would mean no more content, ever :( We're working crazy hard behind the scenes on ways we can ramp up quality/time across the channel. Keep watching and see if we can nail it, I guess! Tom

[@marqairius]

+tromboom59 You got two choices kiddo. 1 - Actually give some constructive criticism. 2 - Do it yourself. You're getting FREE entertainment and animation is not easy. Don't be a hater. Be a motivator.

[@buttAttack]

The voicing bugged the shit out of me.. I feel like this would be better with just sound effects.

[@Tietokone102]

The voice acting was fine. The dialogue was kinda bad though

[@Kayriel]

+Tietokone102 Rice has a good voice. Didn't display situational inflection and such well, and the writing was bad.

[@ricepiratemick]

+Kayriel i did a billion takes with a ton of improv lines and reaction stuff too. just wasn't in the cards

[@AlphaGate10113]

the voice was fine, i feel the writing was a little over the top or had too much fluff. idk tho, I'm just some guy

[@MrTea101]

i think they purposly made it that way mocking that any anime gets dubbed are always terrible, voice or dialoge or both.

[@jesterofdimensionz]

that was sick as fuck

[@w5ildhero]

The way the guy acted made this like a hundred times better, and it was pretty great already

[@oldhbruna]

This was fucking incredible. Good job everyone!

[@MrLolnatsu]

this is some amazing animation , I bet the story boards for this was a pain . I would love to see more of this.

[@jacobgruber388]

This is by far one of my favorite channels! Otaking77077 is awesome!

[@waterblad64]

This is some _very_ good animation right here! You really got the '90s look down _perfectly_, and the animation itself was very fluid. I mean, 17 drawings _per second?_ Now that's what I call dedication. I also like all the little easter eggs/video game references you put in the arcade (of which there are _a lot_, by the way.).

[@pferreira1983]

Such a crying shame cartoons today don't look this good yet have more money behind them.

[@Gabriel-ih7ig]

This looks absolutely incredible

[@mattlee3296]

Holy hell this is god tier animation! I'd love to see more of this kind of stuff from you guys and I don't mind if it takes time, keep up the good work!

[@themangaloid1487]

What the..... This is beyond awesome to say the least. That art and animation is so freaking gorgeous! WHY doesn't this video have like 100 million views?

[@xiaonwa]

OMG please get super funded some how and make more.

[@Swordmaster7th]

This is awesome, lol wow. R-type is one of my favorites, I'm glad it got some love here :3

[@RudyBlackman]

This is the most perfect amount of the 80s and Anime I have seen thank you Otaking

[@ReaverTChannel]

I knew it was Otaking the one that animated this, his style permeates the space flight sections, and it kinda reminded me of his Tie Fighter short film. Man, some big studio give this guy a job, he's awsome.

[@usha3938]

wow, that was really, really well animated :D

[@tylerdamelondragon]

This animation is awesome, please do more!!!!

[@Michirin9801]

This is bloody amazing! Great Job Otaking!

[@johnprudent3216]

Dialogue aside, this absolutely beautifully animated!! And I love love love that you went with the 80's styled character designs. I'd actually love seeing the process behind how this was made.

[@JonasPolsky]

That writing though...

[@freezinfeet]

the animation on this is incredible. must of taken forever to make

[@mashed]

+freezinfeet Around 5 months of blood, sweat and tears

[@freezinfeet]

mashed appreciate the time taken, keep up the amazing work :D

[@angelybarra1538]

+mashed MORE PLS

[@dellet4000]

your the best dude +1 Sub Hope You Can Teach Us How ,One Day! or maybe soon

[@wowzers9270]

agree on teaching, tutorial, behind the scenes.

[@onlyonewhyphy]

This was excellent and immediately made me want to see all the 1st levels of classic 16 bit games, done like this.

[@benvids]

This is so cool. I have played that first level so many times. To see it animated like this is great!

[@CrossfacePanda]

Awesome work Mr. Johnson! I remember seeing teases of this a couple of months back or so, and it truly delivered. The 80's anime vibe is strong in this one. Crossing my fingers for a sequel. Maybe go with something very 90's instead ;)

[@SilentChimaru]

Holy shit this is amazing !!!!!!!!

[@vDarkEaglev]

Oh man, that animation was beautiful and really neat concept about a hard as hell game. Great work!

[@Kokosnuss]

For the love of all that is good, PLEASE continue this. This is outstandingly well done.

[@CaptRicoSakara]

HP Lovecraft?! Hell no! That's H.R. Giger! >:3

[@GraeHall]

Absolutely fucking fantastic.

[@onesun187]

I love the R TYPE series!! this was incredible!!!!amazing job man you have undeniable talent and you totally nailed the concept of rtype!!!you should do a metroid animation I think that you will pull it off with no problem!!!

[@user-mm3tq3so9b]

うおぉ！なにこれすっげぇ！カッコいい！ 日本語字幕までご丁寧にありがとう！

[@theodore-jef5664]

This is as almost good as the anime version of Star Wars Tie Fighter, almost.

[@leolarose2099]

it's made by the same guy

[@truexreclaimer]

This is much more enjoyable on mute. The voice scripts are terrible and not up to par with the gorgeous animation.

[@lunatic4699]

True Reclaimer they did it

[@Baggytrousers27]

Absolutely gorgeous. Great animation, great voice acting, a spectacular production. This must've taken ages.

[@davim.6073]

Original and hilarious story, BEAUTIFUL animation, nice soundtrack and perfect flow of the video? This video deserves more views and likes!!! I would rate this video A+ out of 5 stars because it's soooo good!

[@ISawABear]

Alright be honest... how many month do we have to wait?

[@beesechurger2927]

Is the the same guy who did TIE fighter?

[@Noyoki]

+Louie Kite Yes.

[@mashed]

+Louie Kite we confirm... YES!

[@beesechurger2927]

mashed That's awesome. This vid was great!

[@hunterspride18]

I think this just may be the best thing I've ever seen! Please make more...NOW!!!

[@spazoq]

These 2 videos by Paul Johnson really are the best. Someone needs to give him 40 million and a studio to make a movie.

[@theodorfons1551]

next: Gradius!!!

[@CaptRicoSakara]

YES!!!!

[@JoveJoved]

Great animation. Too bad about the dialogue...

[@stranger59]

Oh, this takes me back. I grew up with R-Type on the SMS, I must have played that first level hundreds of times. The little boxy blue walker made me smile ear to ear, so thanks for that!

[@gishathosaurus6828]

Words alone can not describe the masterpiece of flash animation this is, absolutely outstanding man ! Brought me memories of my R-type collection for the Gameboy Color :P

[@lilllilillililililil]

Animations of youtubers >>>> Japanese anime.. This is the reality -_-

[@DrumPixel]

+lil!ii!l!il!!l!ii!!i!ilil!lil Anime can be good and bad animated just like animations from youtubers.

[@GraveUypo]

+lil!ii!l!il!!l!ii!!i!ilil!lil well, one punch man is better animated than this still. but as a general rule, this is better than most commercial animations, let alone cheap japanese ones

[@HenriqueRJchiki]

+GraveUypo you are comparing an anime with millions of dollars budget by the greatest anime studio on japan with a short animation sequence done by a single guy? really? REALLY? this is still better animated than naruto.

[@GraveUypo]

HenriqueRJchiki no, the op did. and your second point, yeah, i already mentioned that.

[@moonyamoonya997]

+lil!ii!l!il!!l!ii!!i!ilil!lil >crappy rotoscope animation >good

[@braxatikus3640]

this is where i find the best stuff ever!!!!!! great work

[@DuoSanguis]

YEAAAAAAAH Otaking is the best out there, love that retro anime look, its eye-gasmic!

[@Salvavideocrack]

The boss is not reminiscence of the H.P. Lovecraft´s art work, is reminscence of the Hans Rudolf Giger´s artwork like most of the japanese shooter games from mid eighties. Superb animation, very well done.

[@jeffzalonka]

a lot of hard work went into this. great job

[@tempatempo3805]

Continue? YES PLEASE! make another one this was awesome!

[@hurtinalbertan3553]

Awesome! Love the goofy stuff but this was really cool too! Can't wait for the next video!

[@Alpha127b]

you honestly made my day with this. thanks.

[@vanlex7910]

Oh dear Lord, that was amazing! Please do more like this where they go into other games with other gamers. It would make a great series!

[@Cruznick06]

This is exceptional animation. super fluid and well done.

[@eliaskallestein8843]

Dat animation gets me pumped! Great work!

[@MrPerson61]

I knew it was the guy that made "TIE Fighter" as soon as the action started. The Voice acting and mouth movements were ok, but the overall style and the action are just as amazing as the last animation he did. I even remember reading one of his comments saying he was making something for this channel and eagerly awaiting it. It was worth it. Hope to see lots more

[@sithis8876]

i spent so much time playing this game on my Gameboy when i was a child and i must say you did an awesome work !!! Wanna play R-Type DX again now ^^

[@inceptional]

Dude! That was frkin' awesome!

[@usoko294]

なにこれ素晴らしい！３分ちょっとなのに…見てて楽しいって凄いことだ

[@RhazOfRheos]

Brings back so much nostalgia.. I love the black anchored one. Sad it wasn't animated too, that thing is epic.

[@CerealBox64]

An R-Type animation in 2016, this was a welcome surprise! Amazing work!

[@jonathanjones9779]

Hell yeah continue. This was some sexy animation through and through. If I wasn't already subscribed, I'd subscribe just for that.

[@TamasKalman]

omg, this is insane. this is dedication. amazing.

[@Broockle]

Love the 3D cartoonage. I actually had trouble telling it apart from the 2D, it was really cool. Awesome Work! :D

[@funkyboy595]

Well that was utterly out-fucking-standing, a wonderful tribute to a great game. Such stunning work.

[@FaustvonDrachen]

WOW !!! What a masterpiece... A first person R-Type !! You rock !!

[@MrTSGaming13]
