Part 2 has been published on this channel now. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gZ7RXoZpn5mGgdE

[@MrDibara]

"So, who won? The good guys or the bad guys?" *"No."*

[@SBaby]

Ideon won. The bad guys lost. Unfortunately, the bad guys were everyone in the universe not named Ideon.

[@scoutic]

Mamoru Oshii says in an interview with Hideaki Anno from a 1993 Chars Counterattack Fan Club Book, "When I saw Ideon, I believe it was when I was working on The Wonderful Adventures of Nils at Pierrot, it gave me such a shock. And it became the topic of discussion among directors at the studio. We wondered if it was okay to make something like that." According to Oshii, Tomino broke two specific taboos that existed in anime at the time with Ideon and Gundam. Those being the destruction of bodies and expressing your own political beliefs in your anime. If you wanted to express your own political beliefs in your anime you had to disguise it as a joke or metaphor like what Oshii did in Urusei Yatsura.

[@Mike-xh2vm]

That's what make Tomino great, he really pushed the medium forward, even though I dissagree with almost all his crazy political beliefs, I love his work.

Good old "Kill em all" Tomino

I bet Tomino had relatives living in Hiroshima and Nagasaki when the nukes were dropped

The GM not being treated as cannon fodder to the zeons for once

[@Mobius-ow7id]

The ultimate glow up.

[@ShinKatto]

Yet ironically them wanting to treat this gm like canon fodder leads them to destruction

[@BigPuddin]

The omission of ultra gory death shots somehow enhances the brutally emotional tragedy of these deaths. It's like they're being pasted and erased from history rather than turned into chunky salsa. Goddamn. Kids in 80s Japan were hardcore if they grew up watching this.

[@MiracleMomo]

The most hotblooded anime is also the most frightening and there's a terrible awe about the escalation of violence. Was the Ide right? Do we deserve this? It's a terrific and terrifying anime.

[@harisatryo3760]

Well then... *It's an absolutely terrific and terrifying anime series* 😨😱 of its time indeed, MiracleMomo...👁

[@user-xr9tw6xh7o]

10/10 vid "Kill em all" Tomino did a excellent job.

[@gaveintothedarkness]

5:10 that lazer hit them so hard he changed ethnicity

[@PedroSteckecilo]

I still feel like Kasha's death is the roughest, death by shrapnel from your kill... *shudders*

[@LatitudeSky]

Not just Kasha's death but the entire scene where Cosmo is informed of it. Yoku Shioya's acting in that scene and the few moments that follow is simply the strongest and most powerful acting I have ever seen, in anything. Movies, TV, anime, live action. Anything. It's absolutely breathtaking. I don't know how any actor can ever top it. Shioya did only a few roles after Ideon before becoming a voice director, and I wonder if it was because there was no place left to go as an actor.

[@keithsimpson2685]

The piranhas when the guy falls in the water is almost comedy at this point

[@harisatryo3760]

05:32 Y-Yeah, bro...😅🤣🤣🤣

[@temporary67315]

Gotta be honest, the happy music provides some ironic contrast to the sheer slaughter and carnage on display

[@vaulttraveler]

Those anime showed that regardless how strong and powerful you can get it simply needs one little mistake or unlucky moment and your fragile body is gone.

[@samuelward1148]

I'm surprised you didn't just put all of Be Invoked on here... It's pretty goddamn brutal. Characters die with the regularity and frequency of a mosquito bite itch. It's treated so nonchalant.

[@Spirit_Chaser]

I did now.

[@MatthewTheWolf2029]

5:32 Oh dear... Eaten by carnivorous fish... Lousy way to go. But at least he was dead before they got to him.

[@Omega-lc3ge]

The final explosion in be invoked always gives me goosebumps.

[@WorthlessWinner]

Gotta love that jazzy upbeat music while light-speed missiles trash planets

[@Spirit_Chaser]

Something to help with the trauma.

[@Leadblast]

And we thought Z Gundam was dark.

[@atlasprime6193]

Once upon a time, there was a powerful mecha. The mecha was so powerful, that everyone died…the end. :D

[@FordLancer]

Go scene by scene at 4:10 where the guy sits up from bed. The portrait behind him is char and sayla, while his room is being atomized little haro’s appear. I saw three.

[@harisatryo3760]

04:16

[@bryantgrier2624]

It's not just that: it's terrifyingly brilliant anime from the 1980's. I haven't gotten to the entire series yet but I'm enjoying it!

[@fishpop]

Thought this was gonna be one of those analysis video essay things talking about the show. Nope, just a clip compilation.

[@Spirit_Chaser]

No matter how many times I tried talking about the brutality in this, I was never satisfied, and decided to let the anime do the talking.

[@fishpop]

@@Spirit_Chaser Fair enough

[@danielhaire6677]

I have often thought that Tomino had two major themes in his works: 1) The cost of war's brutality meant there were no true winners, just survivors. 2) Child Soldiers were one of the most tragic parts of warfare and paid the highest cost. Pity that many modern versions of his franchises like Gundam have seemed to forget this (i.e Gundam Build)

[@warrenchan5613]

Iron Blooded Orphans is your answer

[@SBaby]

5:16 - It's messed up that the person's eyeballs were cooked right out of their skull in this one shot right before their vehicle exploded.

​@@ironclad6471 Is it *Ari Aster's "Hereditary" movie* isn't it?

[@harisatryo3760]

And *that's the one "Greatest headshot of all-time 😵💥🔫" right here* ya, Dhonnar...

[@erichalliday9808]

All the war related ways people die in this somehow make the one guys body being eaten by a swarm of fish hilarious.

[@RandoBox]

5:31 - So over the top. Also, going over some of the deaths frame by frame show some pretty ridiculous gore.

[@gabrieldjatienza6971]

This title never reached Philippine TV broadcast.... and due to the body count. I doubt it will.

Space operas like this and logh always do violence the best nothing can compare.

3:47 There is a Haro from Gundam anime , I swear I see it .

[@Spirit_Chaser]

I didn't notice that one before. Someone's always finding new Haros.

[@Anon26535]

Wait, so the white parts are supposed to be metallic silver and they just didn't have the budget to make it shiny so they drew it as matte white? My whole life has been a lie.

Its kinda hard to find a show more brutal than one that has no problem depicting a toddler being decapitated and none of the characters around even acknowledges it.
