1:49 Sabrina? ? ? ? Mahou Tukai Sally, but the arrogant Americans change the names of Japanese characters again without permission.

[@fireaza]

Fun fact! "Sazae-san" is STILL running! It holds the Guinness World Record for the longest-running animated television series, at nearly 3000 episodes!

[@Mewzard]

Yeah, Saint Seiya was a gem of a series, ran alongside Kinnikuman (which is getting a new anime in 2024), Fist of the North Star, Dragon Ball, and Jojo's Bizarre Adventure back in the day. All five are gems of a series. Shame I didn't see Getter Robo in the 70s section, it's also a gem.

[@gryphman]

Yeah, it was a little weird they only showed Mazinger Z. There were loads of super robot shows back then.

​@@gryphman they need to react to jewelpet and cocotama theme song

[@TheErsu]

Did you know that Dr Slump was written by Akira Toriyama? Some of my favorite anime openings were included. Slayers, Saint Seiya, Macross, Urusei Yatsura, Ranma 1/2, Space Pirate Captain Harlock, Space Battleship Yamato, Touch, Dr Slump: Arale-chan, Dragon Ball. I would have added Fushigi Yuugi, Kimagure Orange Road, Marmalade Boy, Zeta Gundam, Yoroiden Samurai Troopers, and Gundam Double Zeta to the list.

A few months ago, you reacted to the trailer for the movie Knights Of The Zodiac, this movie is an adaptation of the anime Saint Seiya (Knights Of The Zodiac is the western name of the anime). In some countries this anime was as popular as Dragon Ball, it was part of my childhood. I liked the live action too (although many people in the fandom didn't like it), but I had fun watching it and it made me nostalgic.

[@sotosotoa8120]

Man u ain't lying about having access to anime as a kid in the 80s like we have it now. I know I would have got in trouble. I choose anime over American cartoons bcuz of the art work AND the coloring, then the motion and camera angles. ....... Top, notch. Gotcha Man use to come on right when it was time to go to school and I stalled like a mofo just to watch bits and pieces of it. Then Capt Harlock came in, then Macross- I got turned out on Macross, dang near got azz whippen from Mom's bcuz she was trippin. She Knew good well I watched robotech at 3:00 pm Mon -fri. And she made me miss an episode. I was ready for a beat down. 😂

For around 07:55: this was the opening of "Brave Hero Exkaiser", the first series of Transformers sister franchise, the "Brave series". To make a long story short: after Transformers got discontinued in the late 80ies toy manufacturer Takara decided to use not yet used designs and concepts of TF for their own TV show without Hasbro, which resulted in "Brave Hero Exkaiser", the first of 7 series. Exkaiser himself for example began his life originally as a new design/take of Optimus Prime, and the Brave series over all re-used a lot of character designs from transformers overall. They might make for a good reaction considering how incredibly energetic they all are, and how influencial they are to this day. GaogaiGar, the final season of the Brave Series, is regarded as one fo the best Super robot shows ever made in its genre.

Ashita no joe mentioned 🗣️🗣️

[@AdbelIsaakPachecoRoman]

I wish astro boy was more popular in the anime fandom since being the first anime to air on tv in the 1960s

[@MarcelloStudios09-zu8lk]

5:17 Over three anime’s and they are still going, that’s the start of the second one as the first one bowed out too early

[@BlueBlazeKing]

8:34 Toei did make a live action series back in the early 2000’s. The effects aren’t the best but it’s the vibes that carry it

[@JUniverseChannel-juc]

Awesome video guys 😎!

[@RudiTheMan]

It's wild that I watched almost all of them on tv during my childhood,

[@sgsairl1706]

Surprised to see Love Hina, one of my first favorite anime back then and so popular. Nowadays people doesn't know it 😢

[@hiroshiitou7901]

ありがとう 私の生きて来た時代そのものですありがとう😋👍🇯🇵

[@VonikaBall1987]

This is so good seeing what started all Anime Openings💕

[@Austinalien]

Great reaction! Have you guys considered watching a compilation of the world of Warcraft cinematic trailers? They are top tier and worth watching.

[@gryphman]

Uh oh! They've seen Brave ExKaiser. Time for the rest of the Brave Series.

[@nicodalusong149]

I tried suggesting the Brave series but there's no playlist for every single one.

[@gryphman]

@@nicodalusong149 Well there is now, cause I just made one.

[@nicodalusong149]

@@gryphman Awesome!

[@gryphman]

@@nicodalusong149 I think I'm also going to make an alternate one that has all of the stock transformation footage for a show after each intro. It wouldn't be hard. Vachidra has them all uploaded.

[@johanstenfelt1206]

Huh, well, this was very interesting, it’s fascinating how things has changed. Say, how about doing Mario & Sonic: all Anime Intros by LordTRex next at some point?

[@laf_foo8862]

Captain tsubasa the 🐐 of sports anime!

[@TKDragon75]

Something else to note that if you want to watch Full Metal Alchemist. Is that the original follows the manga only like 30% of the way through before diverting into it's own entire storyline. While brotherhood is a remake that follows the manga almost beat for beat.

[@iLoveLucy420]

I refuse to watch episode 4 of Brotherhood or I think is 6 or 7 in the original.same goes for guardians of the galaxy 3…I.RE.FUSE.

[@velvetdarksoul8741]

03 has to be watched first then Brotherhood

[@APrinnyDood]

14:34 magical girl anime were never the same after that one. Ever since, you gotta check to make sure your not getting a story that's gonna traumatize a child lol

[@JaspasOnline]

Imagine giving Madoka to a kid thinking it was a safe anime. OOF.

[@LilyGinnyBlack35]

There were plenty of dark magical girl anime before Madoka: Nanoha, Uta Kata, Revolutionary Girl Utena, Princess Tutu, Alien 9, etc. Madoka didn't really change that.

[@umaiumai7420]

In Japan, a wholesome magical girl anime called Precure has been aired for a long time, but it's almost unknown overseas and people say that magical girl anime is dark...I don't like that.

[@chaospudding]

So sad that Gurren Lagann was one of the openings that needed to be silenced. It's my all time favorite anime and a formative piece of media for me.

[@animepassionentertainment]

Philly in the house !!!!!! Jay-3 check out Hunter x Hunter and Yu yu hakusho claymore and drifters samurai 7 baki the grappler black lagoon gangsta loved the reaction showin love as always ✌🏾

[@azariesw7547]

Doraemon the legendary legend in the legend😂

[@hamlet1055]

I would recommend you watch some things that you couldn't watch when they came out, is better for you and you could see more titles that way.

[@TKDragon75]

So Hunter X Hunter's original OVA's came out in 1999, but the series most people are familiar with is the 2011 series. It's a similar case with Jojo's where the series came out in 2012, but people think it's much older than it is, partially cause it also had an OVA series in the 90's. There are a decent few anime that had a main series well after an early try with like home video OVA's. Another example is Baki. Which while the og anime is rather old, it started as a direct to video OVA and one of the first few to make it across the pond.

[@TKDragon75]

One Piece and Yugioh also had their own.

[@ASMRPongpoom]

can you do all brave opening series

[@SOXmanSOX]

それぞれその年の名作達ですね、サザエさんとかは長寿アニメだからその年と言うとちょっと違うけど

[@nicodalusong149]

Evolution of anime and they don't show any of the shows that feature 3D? Nah, that's not right.

[@ilikeanimeandmanga7823]

The . Hack series😢😢😢😢

[@Icarowhorider71]

Saint seiya and dragon ball 🇧🇷❤️🇯🇵

[@doscuramenos]

Failed. One of these goals didn't happen, the other may have happened but the accusation was false and poorly done..
