The Madhouse Anime at War with Itself

This series had a major presence on the channel a few years ago, but I didn't show it off in a "KZbin friendly" way. Hopefully this can rectify that somewhat and I can move forward.

That first thing reminds me of Akayashi horror stories where it had multiple stories and then turned into the show Mononoke which has absolutely zero self consciousness and seemed like the people who made had immense love for there work and didn’t care to make it marketable for the public which I love about it because it’s so unique and beautiful

[@antufcti]

Note: “Mononoke” is different than “princess Mononoke”

Madhouse did a lot of great work no doubt, but i cant say they didnt fall into mass production 2008 releasing something like 18 productions. With 5 movies coming out the next year ontop of everything else

[@bobpaige4029]

At that point thay needed money badly and unfortunetly it didn't really help them.

[@Stevem]

@@bobpaige4029 more productions is more money and it failed since they were pretty in the red by 2009s third quarter

[@bobpaige4029]

@@Stevem and then Redline bombed and c'est la vie

[@Stevem]

​@@bobpaige4029 not quite common misconception redline was a cult hit and never was suppose to make it's money back at the cinema but in video sales, reports on its costs were also massively overstated that year we know yona Yona penguin was the most costly madhouse movie

[@henri3170]

The anime rabbit hole is truly bottomless.

[@user-rc3cm1zv4j]

Yet another anime from my childhood that was dubbed to Arabic. I really didn't know that all these names were attached to it, especially Dezaki and Hata. Well done video 👏

[@derbydali]

it's so surreal to simultaneously see something that's by all means beyond hidden gems yet have over a million views youtube uploads and tv reruns of it in another language.

[@MoonAnime]

Such passion put into a video, making the somberness at the end hits so much more harder. Thanks for the story.

[@retroanimemike]

That is some impressive levels of obscurity! I thought I was going really niche watching Starzinger that is finally getting an english fansub but this is just impossible! Great work pasting together the muddled past of forgotten anime!

[@user-bu4qj7tp6s]

i really love your videos man. i hope one day you get more traction on your vids. I also love how you appropriately make your videos the aspect ratio of the anime you're covering haha

[@CaribouCoon]

Thanks! Just wanna keep focus on what I want to do, Algo can do whatever. Aspect ratio wise this next one will be a little funky bc it's two different sizes, but still presented in a fresher way than blurred side bars 🙄

[@gustavohernandeza.890]

This was a fantastic video, Shaybs.

[@CaribouCoon]

Thanks!

[@Shadowlink137]

Love finding these old gems. Great video; it makes me want to watch more old Madhouse stuff. @5:50 It's always crazy to me how some of this old media is (close to) lost when there's a record of everything anymore.

[@satviksaha1764]

I like these kinds of documentary styles of listing certain facts and trends about old anime creation. I already have seen a good bit of manga Nihon, so might see the early episodes of sekai. for a bit of feedback, I feel like the theme of "dynamic creative expression vs content generation" isn't really meaningfully commented on, so the ending and into feels a bit disconnected to the main content for me. I view the video as more of a production analysis of some old anime.

[@CaribouCoon]

Yeah it's pretty much that, honestly the intro was written before really understanding what DAX was trying to do. I think the contrast is meant to be demonstrated early on with Manga Furusato and Manga Sekai, but the outro was repeated bc I had a different conclusion in mind that was more personal but scrapped it

[@user-ie6bz2wz5z]

you know in Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦 it was called stories from around the world

[@nepu47]

And Madhouse also do this as well. You can see that Madhouse still makes wonderful titles like "A Place Further than the Universe" while milking out "Overlord" series.

[@waia6605]

Man I LOVE the music choices in this video.

[@CaribouCoon]

I wanted it to be all Earl/Alchemist beats, but yeah couldn't resist the Jay-Z and Yachty 😄

[@cappuccinocapputeano]

I can't believe it Caribou kun isnt actually a raccoon but a live human being

[@CaribouCoon]

This isn't the first vid with my face in it on this channel (Access to Dezaki and First Six Months), but it's rare indeed 😅

[@BobJones-bg4ui]

I havn’t watched a anime analysis in forever. Nor, do I have time to watch anime now. But, thanks for introducing me to new genre of anime.

[@flutosan7764]

great video as always!! tempted to check this anime out

[@bobpaige4029]

Grea vid, hope one day you will do a video comparison between Madhouse and Sunrise as two the most successful offshoots of Mushi Pro, and how despite similar origin they adopted distinctly different identities.

[@TheUnknownOtaku]

"I hope you have questions and just not taking my word for it" I know I should do my do-diligence but I trust you enough, but more importantly, I know how much research something like this would take, and there is no way I would want to do a deep dive to see how accurate this is

[@CaribouCoon]

just a good reminder is all 😄

[@stephanieroberts4837]

Great video! A handful of the Manga Sekai episodes are fansubbed and I watched them some years ago (the Beauty and the Beast episode in particular was incredible) but you've convinced me to watch more of the series unsubbed. The only other show I've seen unsubbed is around 20 or so episodes of the original Astro Boy - it should help me with learning Japanese, I'm sure!

[@CaribouCoon]

yeah some series it's tough to do, like I wouldn't recommend it for LOGH or something lmao but kids shows like this I've watched a bunch raw honestly I forget about it after a while

[@Uniquenameosaurus]

Last line hits hard.

[@CaribouCoon]

It was gonna twist into this short confessional relating to the last project I made with this anime, but it didn't feel right and better left unsaid

[@Uniquenameosaurus]

@@CaribouCoon I think that was the right choice. The emphasis put on it allows you to imply the meaning, although its not as specific as to be about a specific project. Just your experience with content creation in general.

[@CaribouCoon]

I think so too, also don't need to crystalize my feelings about something I made like that, I can allow it to evolve over time

[@drema8226]

Great vid! Really interesting.

[@justalonelyman994]

Great video man

[@antufcti]

Fantastic video !!! Love it

[@RayOfTruth]

Studio Madhouse vs Studio Happy Home.

[@rushomancy]

fun fact i found your channel by searching for "msmb anime", that's right not even "mnmb", "msmb". i think mostly that says that i've been reading toadette's blog tho, haha

[@CaribouCoon]

that's encouraging haha

[@perrydimes6915]

the bookend. pure cinema

[@HaydenTheHistorian]

maldhouse

[@leeroyjenkins2923]

What about Madhouse and Mappa war? They had so much good quality in anime back in the days. Like, I am still waiting for Hajime no Ippo and Kaiji sequel: there's literally no anime like these ones (and other amazing titles that they made then, of course).

[@joelnordlander8858]

good jobb on the video

[@loganlabach4227]

It seems like part 2 of lupin where you get the Miyazaki episode and then a bunch of garbage or the last 5 episodes of Kaiba where it took a great show and became muddled with confusing lore! Great video I’m happy you are doing obscure content!

[@NotOrdinaryInGames]

I do agree, that IS the cutest shit ever.

[@KKAkuoku]

Can’t even lie, I’m curious about how you managed those lip flaps from 6:02-6:12

[@CaribouCoon]

I first recorded it to as close to the original as possible, dubbing basically. But then for the original bits I used whatever lip flaps existed (so for a western animation like Simpsons had a LOT to choose from!) to sync it to my voice frame by frame :)

[@mist1858]

Nice and pretty

The vid linked at the end I set his entire Some Rap Songs album to episodes of this show (if vid doesn't work it's also a playlist on my channel)
