one of the best scenes in the world

my favorite scene

[@bobdonkey3851]

watched this on AXN back when dinosaurs roamed the earth.

[@grimaper]

bob donkey lol yeah it's been awhile for me too.

[@ayame170]

after xxx years...i heard this music again...childhood

[@YukitoOnline]

I feel old now..

[@LeKerbal]

damn, nostalgia hits hard

[@cherish_xo]

Thought I was the only one 😂

[@melroyn]

As an older musician working a job and trying to still make music, this really hits very differently.

[@Hydeist117160]

This anime was so good, it was like extremely emotional too... it was almost depressing the life that Gabriel lived after his band separated... and all the last minute things that happen are so amazing T_T

[@adamgreyskul678]

Hydeist117160 I totally understand. This may be my favorite scene in all the anime I've ever watched. Not to say this is the greatest anime, but the emotion and raw feeling they were able to lead up to this point with and achieve is amazing.

[@OtakuUnitedStudio]

My favorite scene in the whole show was when his wife showed up in her punk outfit that she'd apparently held onto for the last 6 years despite telling Oji the whole time that he needed to get rid of his guitars and forget about being a musician. It recontextualizes her whole character - she wasn't just trying to make Oji "grow up," she was doing it for herself because she missed being a rock star's girlfriend but felt like she had to give it up to be a good wife and mother. That moment is when she realized she doesn't HAVE to give up her love of rock, and now she can share it with her son as long as he understands the possible risks that come with it.

[@WadeWilsonKPop]

This fucking show made me fall in love with four middle-aged Japanese men.

[@GuitarGuyAl]

As a musician and an anime fan - this whole series spoke to me. Loved this scene but nothing tops when they play let you go, let me go at the end of episode 13

[@egiboi22]

i hope someone will remaster this anime.

[@grimaper]

Stephen Coquilla me too man me too.

[@SantomPh]

No, just give it another run on a network. No remastering or remaking. It is perfect the way it is

[@ZeroGForce]

@@SantomPh Crisper animation with widescreen support... would buy a DVD or Blu-Ray set of that on the spot.

[@SantomPh]

@@ZeroGForce it is fine the way it is. Anime never ages. A widescreen aspect option would be nice tho

[@jabberjaw7163]

Well I have news Discotek has picked it up for a blu-ray remaster

[@padilsa000]

i saw this series 9 years ago and it still gives me the shivers! hahaha

[@shadowskill111]

Jesus... this was one of the first amines I ever saw back on the Air Force Network when I was deployed to S. Korea a little over 20 years ago. Right up there with Samurai X (Ruroni IKenshin), Cooking Master Boy, and I think Magical Knight Rayearth.

[@chiseen]

dude unintentionally lured the enemy into a single line, well played. Those moans tho. I never realized as a child when i first saw this. HAHAHA

[@Petaurista13]

They defeated enemy and gave her orgasm same time

[@itpugil]

Saw this scene last night, got goosebumps. This was on AXN a long while back. Ah memories.

[@GrandMasterRyu]

You just cannot hate the music they play, it just is rock, its true rock from the heart to the soul, so rock and roll on black heaven!

[@doomerbelowthewind]

i remember when i watch this like in 2005, almost 7 years, thank god AXN broad-casted this anime to me, and this is really the best anime i've ever seen in my life...

[@SunStealer001]

So this is a show about wars fought in space using superweapons powered by middle-aged salarymen rocking out? What is the name of this show?

[@SantomPh]

The Legend of Black Heaven / Kacho Ojii. Most of the time it is just Oji though

[@jessicamariefos676]

oji the section chief

[@Gitjadas]

Greatest anime of all time.

[@grimaper]

you are the greatest anime of all time.

[@ThePorpoisepower]

Definitely one of them! Totally under appreciated!

[@Dagon123A]

Episode 10 had the funniest scene but the ending on episode 13 makes the whole anime, ROCK ON BLACK HEAVEN!

[@grimaper]

Hell yeah and I'll be your bassist and say "HEY GABRIEL."

[@japonsubtitulado]

Hey that's my dream

[@zeratul7975]

HARD ROCK SAVE SPACE!!!

[@FullchanAnon]

I SWEAR TO GOD, I THOUGHT THIS WAS JUST A FEVER DREAM!

[@alonso6300]

Black heaven was an amazing series! one of the best in my book

[@snukastyle]

Pretty much. There's something in the band Black Heaven's "sound" that causes the amazing power surge that powers the cannon.

[@SantomPh]

the aliens defending Earth have a sterile, almost joyless culture. The emotional energy the band creates powers their ultimate weapon, which they built without knowing how to power it.

[@OtakuUnitedStudio]

@@SantomPh They're actually defending their own homeworld, but Earth would likely be next since the invaders know where the sound is coming from.

[@grimaper]

its called "cautionary warning" the artist is John sykes or it's sikes but you can get it off of limewire pretty good song in my opinion

[@rrobz3948]

Kachou Ouji speaks to the everyman - there is so much more to this anime than the topical viewing would lead you to believe.

[@tombombadilofficial]

If Netflix decides to adapt this and cast Jack Black and KG my life will be complete.

[@owenandrewjrgensen6175]

@Robert Cote Keanu as Fomalhaut would be better. And Taylor Swift as Layla. Cobie Smulders as Hamill, and Yolandi as Yoshiko, That'll work!

[@everestfalls]

Hard rock save the universe!

[@AceKylar]

Cautionary Warning by Blue Murder, with lead guitarist John Syke!

[@toast1144]

thank you stalin

[@grimaper]

John Sikes is the man.

[@Ast86]

i think every1 who love rock and roll will LOVE IT (in my opinion) its one of the best soundtrack from anime ;)

[@BBON2973]

why are there ninjas cutting onions around me?? I'm not crying, you're crying...

[@grimaper]

yeah that's it in a nut shell. It is called Legend of Black Heaven.

[@The_Man_Who_Sold_the_World.]

This anime helped me get back into my love for rock and roll

[@Grimdeathtrip]

this guitarist has such a unique sound its amazing...

[@grimaper]

I knew this show was old but i didn't know it was that old. I guess you do learn something everyday.

[@TacComControl]

Everyone's gotta grow up, get a job, put on the tie, but you never lose the metal.

[@mrantimatter]

Hell yeah Black Heaven. So wish there was a proper blu-ray release for this now. Awesome series, nearly forgotten by today's fans.

[@OtakuUnitedStudio]

Unfortunately the rights are a big issue. It was distributed in the US by Geneon. Their US branch went out of business shortly after the DVD release internationally. I actually managed to find a copy of the complete series shortly afterward, and the guy selling it even cut me a deal because of how much I was gushing over it.

[@TanukiCris]

​@OtakuUnitedStudio it has a proper bluray release now ^^

[@gwendolynking6303]

If you paint to please you paint nothing. Who wants empty perfection on a wall? only the dead and the dull---

[@GrapeTesting101]

Thumbs this up if you got goosebumps when you watched this.

[@Fohlken]

Finally I could see the last episode today in japanese!

[@doomerbelowthewind]

Damn i'd really hope AXN would re-broadcast this anime again.

[@kite172000]

someones gotta rip and clean and loop this version of the song cause it rocks,why was this not on the ost!?

[@foxbomber5]

An alien super weapon powered by a guitar? The TRUE power of The Metal!

[@alonso6300]

Thanks i'd really appreciate it. Been lookin for one forever.

[@XXXXX1515]

It's been how many years? I watched this when I was a little kid on AxN (without my parents knowing, I REMEMBER THAT very clearly. :)))))) and now that I'm hearing this and watching this again at 19 years old I feel shivers all over my spine.

[@OtakuUnitedStudio]

It came out in 2000

[@gawl8148]

One of the greatest anime's of all time

[@analizabenetua2645]

I love this anime!!!

[@christopherbrummet4997]

I would totally waste 1 of my 3 Genie wishes to remake this series with all the love we have for it

[@VINTONGFX]

wow..this was 10yrs ago..time flew pretty fast

[@itpugil]

And your comment, if you still have account access, is 14 years ago.

[@grimaper]

@zoidsmaniac haha me too dude, I can't even begin to imagine how badass he must've felt when his bandmates showed up.

[@SuperMonkei]

The best scene wouldn't be English dubbed.

[@eylessfrog]

were can you find the episodes (not in spanish) online? I got to 11 and they took them of youtube! WHY!!!!!!!!!!

[@and1junkie]

Is this purticular version of the song available in the OST???

[@grimaper]

lol I haven't played that game yet so this reference is above my head. I've only played a piece of the first game.

[@MechaManDan]

I live for moments like these. :D

[@thecontinuousone3183]

That right Ara Ara alien likes the metal

[@Gekko200000]

i wasnt aware there was an enlish dub out. thanks!

[@grimaper]

Yeah when I seen it I was like "hell Yeah!"

[@mamabichonte2]

ive never watched that anime but that scene is surely made of win

[@dennismarban2193]

Still watching nov 2020

[@cherish_xo]

OMG I’ve been looking for this for SO LONG. I’ve watched it when I was still in middle school or something and I’ve forgotten what the title of the anime was. All I could remember is the main tune of that piece they’re playing 😭 I just want to listen to it again and I’m glad I found it

[@grimaper]

When I was a young teen I would watch this one all the time. I had it on Dvd and it's part of the reason I got into music and learning how to play

[@cherish_xo]

@@grimaper That’s so cool! And thank you for sharing this! 😭 you have no idea how many trial and errors I’ve attempted with the keyword just to find this hahaha 😂

[@grimaper]

@@cherish_xo haha you're welcome I think we've all been there with certain things lol

[@sonicpower23]

This Has Rediscovered The Level Of Gar That Was Passed By Gurren Lagann.

[@grimaper]

congrats man post them up here on youtube and i'll watch em and rate them nice job

[@Duskcard]

never needed something so much in my life...

[@japonsubtitulado]

2:32 w h a t

[@japonsubtitulado]

"Ahh~"

[@Petaurista13]

you should watch Food Wars.

[@HenrySocazaCh]

@@japonsubtitulado que hacei aquí

[@grimaper]

yeah me too it's like more than meets the eye. I think this scene right here is basically saying that you can count on people to be with you during hard times especially your friends. Just out of curiosity what language did you see this in?

[@regalbryant902]

Ahh raphael, your voice still makes me chuckle

[@alexpardo2983]

I saw this when i was 8 it changed me

[@grimaper]

you should dude it's really good but short i think 13 episodes and hell yeah this scene is made of extra win with epicness sprinkled on top of it.

[@victoriagrutter7392]

wait what? this show is older than even the first mass effect.

[@Dumber0]

...............no words love it

[@willt2810]

This is like macross

[@LuciferCain]

I LOVE THIS!!!

[@grimaper]

yeah man I understand what you mean. I would like to see a Blu-Ray release as well. I have the whole series on DVD.

[@GGoLre]

I'm not sure what's going on here... A geek squad employee from Best Buy plays so a weapon will fire?

[@alonso6300]

cowboy bebop was awesome too. you wouldnt happen to have a torrent for the series would you?

[@Pilion7A]

hell YES! freakin amazing show.

[@SantomPh]

Luke, Raphael and Michael are not dub names by the way...those are their band names

[@grimaper]

No problem man yeah this show kicks ass perhaps like one of the only animes that are unique.

[@Eamil]

I really wish the soundtrack had a track of just this song.//

[@hurricanefierce]

this anime rocks!!

[@grimaper]

Yeah I love this show.

[@grimaper]

try downloading bittorrent and download it using that program the only other way you can watch it is here on youtube but it is in spanish so... lol i looked on the internet for hours trying to find it but no luck whatsoever lol

[@grimaper]

yeah i totally agree man that, and cowboy bebop are my favorites

[@grimaper]

nope not that i am aware of the only way i could see of getting this song would be downloading a program called mp3mymp3 2.0 just go to google and download it and install it basically records any thing that your computer is playing

[@terikotsu]

@AkodoYuru Well Alrighty then, Thank you for your information. Haven't seen this anime since it came out and I had forgotten about the song name. Thanks again.

[@IndoneVoid]

can you give me the specific? I'd love to read it

[@terikotsu]

I have been trying to write a tab for this song for about 5 years now. Still have not been able to do such a thing even though I would love too because I fucking love this song. Anyone know the name of it if there is one?

[@kR1pt0n1t3]

I want a machine that can fire lasers when i play songs ^_^

[@grimaper]

hmm i'll have to check on it after i get back from this birthday.

[@Psichofox-]

Lol she came when they played.

[@grimaper]

not me unfortunately what job do you have?

[@grimaper]

dude i have no idea i just spent like an hour looking it up for you i've had no luck megavideo's were taking off and youtube's only episodes that remain aren't in english maybe you should try bittorrent limewire utorrent or something like that

[@gamerootz602]

Yooo I seen this anime back in the day holy shit! It was on a channel I think 22 or 25 but yes I remember

[@grimaper]

hold on dude you're telling me they made an anime out of beck?

[@chill_dude_743]

Are you still here?

[@grimaper]

Of course!

[@MrRoboto305]

I had a spike moment of chills/goosebumps at 2:29

[@grimaper]

hell yeah dude this anime and soundtrack is badass!

[@grimaper]

Oh dude i know what you mean i prefer the slow version too so much raw power and emotion. It's like if i was there with them.

[@MorteSeoinage]

[@grimaper]

[@miracheraa5745]
