Ghostbusters Anime References

[@ninjaconsultantsixshot]

The Tokyo ESP parody actually got acknowledged in IDW’s Ghostbusters comic as versions of the GBs in the multiverse.

[@THEAnimeHERO]

Wow! I still need to read the Ghostbusters crossovers.

[@devinweathers7520]

@@THEAnimeHERO they got transformers, tmnt and so much fucking more

[@theluckiesteh9058]

Funny that we see Stay Puft in one of the Kinnikuman movies knowing that some of the animation in The Real Ghostbusters was actually done by Toei Animation.

[@THEAnimeHERO]

There was certain times the cartoon felt that it had OVA production, especially as the series kept going.

[@THEAnimeHERO]

Delays were cold Texas weather and blackouts.

[@snowqueen_8958]

Your from texas well damn

[@THEAnimeHERO]

@@snowqueen_8958 It was too cold for a while.

[@Launchpad05]

'Ghostbusters' was nearly EVERYWHERE in pop culture back then. Alot of cartoons of that time made references to it. I also have to wonder why Harold Ramis opted to play Egon's 'brother' Elong in that bizarre 'Earth Day' special rather than actually play 'Egon'.

[@THEAnimeHERO]

I'm guessing some sort of rights contract or whoever did the Earth Day Special didn't want to pay more for an officially licensed Ghostbuster. There were other celebrities and actors in the whole thing so I'm sure the budget was tight.

[@ShinSeikiEvan]

It's been a long time since I've seen it, but Space Brothers also had the Ghostbusters in it. I can't remember if they had Winston or not, but they did have Louis Tully.

[@THEAnimeHERO]

Thank you. I did a google search and it seems to be episode 70 which has the entire team, even Winston.

[@Ozymondias99]

2:21 wow, the Smurfs caught into Ghosbusting before the movie came out.

[@CornishCreamtea07]

I'm surprised Gintama never did a Ghostbusters parody.

[@THEAnimeHERO]

The only ghost stuff I remember was a STAND reference in a hot spring inn, I think.

[@KasumiKenshirou]

An episode of the anime Cats Eye revolves around a "Ghostbrothers" soundtrack record. I don't remember the details, but I think a valuable item was hidden in the record sleeve and various groups of people were trying to get their hands on this record because of it. This series was free on Amazon Prime at the time I watched it, but I'm not sure if that is the case anymore.

[@THEAnimeHERO]

Cat's Eye was originally released by Nozomi Entertainment but it's then switched hands to Discotek Media who are barely putting it out on bluray. The Ghostbrothers record is likely based on the haunted record story that contains a demonic presence. There's even an episode of Constantine that uses that scenario. Thank you for letting me know as I didn't see much of Cat's Eye but I've looked at more of City Hunter.

[@KasumiKenshirou]

@@THEAnimeHERO I didn't know about that Blu-Ray. Thanks. I don't remember the Cat's Eye episode having any supernatural elements in it, but it has been a while since I saw it. This is one of those anime that doesn't cover the entire manga story and has a weird anime-only ending episodes. AFAIK there's no official English translation of the manga, but I didn't know about the Blu-Ray until a few minutes ago...

[@ironcore2008]

3:58 that wasn't robocop that was John T Cable who becomes robocable in the 2001 mini series "prime directives"

[@primusvsunicron1]

According to Wikipedia, Real Ghostbusters was animated by Toei and TMS

[@THEAnimeHERO]

Yeah the animation in Real had some anime ova moments at times. It was really good looking for the majority of it.

[@Obscureanimeguy]

There’s a ghost busters reference in “blood blockade battlefront “

[@Obscureanimeguy]

In season 2 episode 6

[@THEAnimeHERO]

Thanks! I haven't seen the 2nd season. In fact, I never finished the 1st one due to that last episode airing delay.

[@drax7950]

Thanks for making this video everything you make is fun and insightful

[@THEAnimeHERO]

You're welcome and thank you. I try to have fun with what I have.

[@Acidonia150reborn]

No Yokai watch? It had a whole video game themed on the series in japan called Yokai watch Busters or Yokai watch Blasters outside japan. You can get the ghost cat mascot character Jibannyan as Yoda and The Terminator on a bike too.

[@THEAnimeHERO]

I was not aware of that but thank you for informing me. Looking at pictures & it would've been fun to address them. The most I know of Yokai Watch was the brief Fist Of The North Star parody.

[@rolandkatsuragi]

From what I understand, Eddie Murphy was originally slated to be the fourth Ghostbuster before dropping out. After Ernie Hudson got the role however, they reduced most of his character right before shooting.

[@THEAnimeHERO]

I heard similar things but even Winston in Real Ghostbusters got put aside from time to time. 🤷‍♂️

[@tiffany-chan1235]

For Terminator references How many dumbells can you lift straight up has a scene where a character says "I'll be back" to a Schwarzenegger looking dude. And Pop team epic had one in EP4, they even got Tessho Genda (The dub voice of Arnold in Japan) for it!

[@THEAnimeHERO]

Thanks. I was already watching Dumbbells. I was skimming through Pop Team Epic so I'll check that episode. Actually, right after the Robocop arm wrestle, a T-800 Endoskeleton briefly appears before the scene fades away.

[@Launchpad05]

@@THEAnimeHERO You have to include Arnold The Pitt Bull from 'Tiny Toons', Reiner Wolfcastle from 'The Simpsons, and Jorgen Von Strangle from 'Fairly Odd Parents'. Oh, and why not throw in some 'ice puns' from 'Mr. Freeze'.

[@THEAnimeHERO]

@@Launchpad05 I'm familiar with them but I admit I don't recall seeing much of Reiner Wolfcastle. I guess I need to rewatch Tiny Toon Adventures. I could probably work them in with some type of quick transition jokes.

[@THEAnimeHERO]

Okay, I must be sleepy. I confused Wolfcastle for Arnold The Pitbull. What I meant to say was I don't remember seeing much of Arnold The Pitbull so I guess I need to rewatch Tiny Toons on Hulu.

[@Slevin_Kalevra]

Im sorry. There where reference from Ghostbusters (1984) in the smurfs (1981)? Math seems off.

[@THEAnimeHERO]

That episode did not premiere in 1981. That was the year of the show.

[@jordanramsey3848]

First comment and it good seeing you again.

[@THEAnimeHERO]

Can you do Batman references in anime?

I have some ideas for that but its really more about anime series influenced by Batman.

I've been liking your reference videos, but I wish for more manly anime reviews. Still, nice to see you more active Hero.

[@THEAnimeHERO]

Thanks. I wanted to do references to hopefully get the attention of a different audience and include them in my other niche topics.

[@himookim]

Your thoughts on the upcoming TMNT beat em up game and Doom Slayer has a Conan the Barbarian Skin in Doom Eternal lol.

[@THEAnimeHERO]

I'm excited for the TMNT game but I'm curious if it will have some animated cutscenes like the intro. It's like the Rise of the TMNT animation used on the 1987 designs. Skins are always cool, especially if its Conan or Barbarian themed. I was reading a bit of the Savage Avengers comics which features Conan. He spent some time with Wolverine & The Punisher!

Thank you! I haven't much free time to edit more videos but I'll finish something soon. It'll be Kenshiro related.

You should do more anime/manga reviews/retrospectives

[@THEAnimeHERO]

I'll get around to it. I haven't had nuch free time lately so I wanted something that didn't require me to think too hard about when writing. But I do have some written reviews on Patreon on some shows and comics.

@@THEAnimeHERO I think the lack of Winston towards the end has to do with filming conflicts. Originally it was supposed to be Eddie Murphy I believe, what was also supposed to be in one of the Star Trek movies as well.

[@zeoinfinitneospace2134]

Can you make a lot of reference to Arnold Schwarzenegger anime people keep saying kenshiro with a reference to Arnold Schwarzenegger well... NO... this is a reference to Rocky🥊. Arnold Schwarzenegger was in Fist of the North Star and in Dragon Ball and City Hunter. And terminer reference like cyber blue manga. Who and Dragon Ball Z trunks with a reference to John Carter from Terminator 2

[@zeoinfinitneospace2134]

Can you make a video of that of Arnold Schwarzenegger anime in it and manga

That's the idea. I might have to make two different videos for Terminator & Arnold.
