About your comment on jonjoy profile:
The pfp of his is from Koutetsujou no Kabaneri (also thanks for inadvertently reminding me to watch it lol).

Profile hopping haha, you're profile picture had caught my attention, also we had a decent affinity

I'll watch those OVA's at some point in the future, for now there's a few anime's I want to finish up first real soon. Now as for who would be the seiyuu in a hypothetical BC remake. that is a good question. I'm bit more familiar on English voice actors than the Japanese voice actors. well I'm aware that the choice of voice actors were the big highlight, especially priss Japanese voice actor Kinuko Omori was a singer when the anime was produced. still it be interesting what voice actors they would choose. Vivy and Bubble are both great anime's, especially that Vivy have some of the best fight scene in an anime. That's why I picked Wit because if they are the one to animated, it would be amazing. I pick Satelight mostly because of the Sympogear franchise and also the later Macross installments (which they all great although I haven't seen Delta yet). I haven't seen a lot of their works but I do know they can do great job if they put out the effort. I had just recently finished Sympogear XV which honestly had the animation (more specifically the action and transformation scenes) that could rival Studio Bones level of animation. But besides that they both good choices however I personally want AIC to be the one to do the remake/reboot. Now you had told me that they only been working on new Tenchi Muyo sequels, but i want them to be the one to do the remake since they are the one's to announcement a Megazone 23 remake (albeit they haven't made much news about since that announcement). But perhaps once they released Megazone 23 sin maybe I hope they would announcement of making a new Bubblegum Crisis anime.

Yeah it is quite unfortunately that Brian Powered along side with other Mecha anime's tagged as Eva clones will be seen that way. Although I always thought that it was more of a western thing that tagged those anime's, till I learn that when Eureka Seven was first released many Japanese anime fans called Eureka Seven a ripoff of Evangelion without watching the anime. So I guess that even in the East those anime's are also tagged as Eva clones as well. You know it had been a while since so I had watch the Dunbine dub but from what I remembered it did so of sounded off at least the first time I watched it. it might been because it was a 2000s dub in an 80s anime. now that I think it probably was my first 80s anime I had ever watched. But beside all of that, the first time I watched it I wasn't too interested of it and every time I watched it, but I always stop at episode 3. then again I drop a lot of Mecha anime that weren't interesting to me at the time, most noticeably Gravion, Gasaraki, Brain Powered, and the TV version of Ideon (this was around the time I was just getting into of Gundam). I only got back watching Gravion and finishing it I think in around 2022, but I have yet to watch the series I had drop back then. besides that it is kind of interesting that they use old European languages in the dub, I guess it does making it more medieval in the show.

King Gainer is a very unique Mecha design indeed. well the funny thing is that when first saw the design (I first discover the anime through the opening of Another Century ep 3) I thought was sort of like girl mech due to how feminine it looked. but other than the inconsistent pace it is a show that's worth the shot.

It interesting that clamp most of their works take place in the same universe. I think I had not learn that I probably would have watch the Blood+ series by now. but it is unfortunately that some of their works are unfinished, but hey it is what it is. Now I have only watched the first 2 ep of Orguss (it pretty good so far) so I can't say if the opening of the original is better than 02. But there is something I want to tell you. it is mostly regard about 80s to 90s anime. Basically when I first watched Orguss I had just finished Captain Earth (a mecha anime released in 2014 by studio Bones) and when I watched Orguss I was paying more attention of that anime then I did with Captain Earth. Not that the anime was boring far from it, however it didn't exactly made me wanted to watch more episodes of it than both Orguss and Tekkaman Blade. than I realize that most anime's that I had watched from 2010s to the 2020s I spend a lot less time focusing on the stories nor do they make me have the desire of watching more of their episodes (although there are coulpe of anime from those time periods I actually pay attention but most of them i don't). but when i watch something from the 80s or 90s all of the suddenly not only my brain start focusing on the story more so than most modern anime's but also created a desire of watch more example. guess it is probably because they are lot more easier to understand (if we don't included series like Lain or Big O for example) or maybe becasue I just like older anime than most newer anime.

I wasn't exactly the biggest Power Rangers. I did watched series like Dino Thunder or Super Megaforce. but like i said i wasn't big fan of it, I was always more of a cartoon/anime kid. Live action just never was my cup of tea. but i'm still interensted watching Toku shows. i forgot to metioned that i had watched a couple of Toku or Toku like shows like Guyver, Samuri Flamenco, Blassretier, Kikaider, Fuuto PI and recently Sentai Daishikkaku.

Takahiro Kimura is one of mine favorite character design. so I was quite sad when I found out that he passed away last year. Most of the characters design in Code Geass were done by Clamp, however the art style of the characters (Face, hair, eyes) were done by Takahiro Kimura if I remember correctly. Now as for Betterman i do wonder what scenes you found, I sort of have a good idea what those scenes are, but I'm just curious if share those videos. But I'm glad that it is something you would enjoyed. But I do wish there should be more horror mecha out there. Stuff like Blue Gender and Evangelion comes to mind. I have always thought it was strange that Betterman exist in the same universe as GaoGaiGar. i mean yeah there are the little easter eggs here and there, plus they both are done by the same time. but when you watch it, it really doesn't feel like exist they in the same universe, but at the same time it is interesting to think they even are in the same world. Besides that the story of Betterman does continue in the crossover Novel/Manga GaoGaiGar vs Betterman (which takes place 10 years after GaoGaiGar Final). There's one final thing is that there is a anthoner spinoff of GaoGaiGar albeit it is way more obscure than Betterman called Brigadoon: Marin and Melan. but i will talk about it after you comment first. Plus I do think it was better for them to change the op/ed in the US considerinh that the ed was lot more exciting than the op.

I first learn of the series when I was listening Gundam Seed 2nd op Moment on Youtube. while reading some of the comments I saw one that peak my interested. basically the comment was talking about other anime's done by Hisashi Hirai and one of them was Fafner. it took my interested by the fact it heavily borrows things from Norse Mythology like the Mechs called Fafner are named after Fafnir a dwarf who was turned into a dragon due to his obsession of gold. Glad it be some you enjoyed since I had a feeling that you might like it. That character who acts like a SR pilot in a RR anime definitely did remind me of Nasicedo (i actually watch both series at the same time, when I first watch them) through it might had some influence of Nasicedo since they were done by the same studio. Although it is a bit ironic that later in the series it introduce new Fafner units that basically super robots in terms of power at least. not like it's unusual for a real robot show start using characteristics of super robot series (Gundam for example). but other than it is an pretty awesome series to especially that they did switch the 2D Mecha design to 3D starting in the movie sequel Heaven and Earth. in my opinion this is a good thing since the animation of the original series wasn't anything special really. however when they started using 3D Mecha design's not only they look really good but also the fight choreography was top notch as well, plus the 2D character animation were greatly improve and finally it looks absolute amazing.

Man i use watch a lot of YTP back then. like i think most of i had watch back then were either sonic, mario or even digimon. And i was into of abridged series in my early teen years, although I'm still very much into of AMV. In fact i have been think of making an AMV maybe later this year. i got no plans of making one right now but i guaranteed you it be a very good one AMV. Beside i planning on watch more Higurashi, having recently finish Kai. although i though that the new series were a remake turns out it wasn't. well considering what happens in the series i guess its another time loop/world. it might explain where people got clips of featherine (a character from Umineko) since there has been only one Umineko anime that was released in 2009. so means the clips that people got it from are from the newer series. i haven't read Umineko yet but do plan on reading it once I'm finishing with other VN like Witch on the holy night and Dies Irae. still through i plan on watching more of Higurashi soon and i even convince my brother to watch it! I figure that AMV hell was popular back considering i did see a lot of them. But the one i shared did made me laugh a lot plus i did a lot recognize anime i had watched or at least familiar them.


It is pretty nice to have a rare obscure toy from an obscure series like Redman sort of like finding hidden treasure that has been forgotten by time. indeed finding American comics does suck at least in online. i really did wanted to read the comic back along side other comic Godzilla Aftershock at the time. although I'm not much into of comics as i was back then. I kind of want to buy, it but i have to be a comic book collector first, so unfortunately i won't be getting that comic anytime soon. but at least i find and read manga online (secretly read hentai).

It would be nice to know about the thought process of writers at the time. I think i might have seen an interview at some point probably from an old video or something.

Weeeelllllllllllllllllllllll, you could just watch the anime just to make fun of the animation. So Psychics were like a staple of 70s huh. it probably isn't to surprising since Babel ii and the 79 Gundam use Psychics in there series. Although the ''Y2K'' isn't actually Y2K. To explain things properly, there was this scientist named Enkidu who launched a terrorist attack that caused global blackout which leads to the post apocalyptic world that series is set in, it does sound like Y2K. although it more funny had the series came out in the late 90s. I do always like it when anime's use ancient mythology like the Fate franchise for example.

Harenchi Gakuen be the first ecchi manga is an interesting fact. as the controversial I'm not exactly surprised that Go Nagi receive controversies. i mean bro is at here making controversial series waiting to be ban (Devilman Lady was banned in china, but then again it was China after all). It's funny to think that censored the gore just for the NA release, obviously not knowing that we Americans would eat that shit up if it contain gore. As for the obscenity laws i suppose it would make sense to censor ecchi or hentai anime's, but Demon Lord Dante is like neither of those so it's weird that they would even censor them anyway. but you know what Demon Lord Dante should need another reboot similar to Devilman Crybaby and this time adapting the 2002 manga in the style crybaby. Also damn Japanese home video were really that expensive like damn. well good thing I have the alternate way to watch expensive anime hehehe.

I have listen to a lot of music well most Japanese music. I listen to a couple of English songs but most Japanese with bands like Jam Project (who did the first opening of One Punch Man). in fact I'm listen to some Persona music right as I'm type this. ikind of interensting that there is tendency reference from like WW2/early Cold War era horror movies, i do wonder what example you can show me. BTW here's an old AMV/MAD feturing the song Gong done by Jam Project (which was in the game SRW alpha 3)


you probably had already search the reason by now but I'll say it anyway. But basically the dub wasn't made until 2013 several years after the anime had ended. while some of the voice actors were change (most notable Lucy) but the rest had the same voice actors from the TV anime. although like I said I'm not exactly the biggest fan of change Voice Actors in dubs, like for example in the movie Trigun Badlands Rumble Wolfwood (one of my favorite characters in Trigun) was voice by Brad Hawkins and not Jeff Nimoy in the original. worst thing is that Jeff Nimoy wanted to voice wolfwood again in the movie but funimation replace him with different a voice actor. while newer voice actors can do good job but usually i prefer the original one more as I more familiar them. Through I watch dub anime's mostly because i felt like it, sometime i stick to the sub on some series like Fafner. Fafner had a English dub done by funimation and i heard that they did pretty good job in the dub, however in movie Heaven and Earth they did the same problem i have with the Elfen Lied OVA dub is that they also changed the voice actors as well. and you know what's even worse? is that for some reason they never even dub sequels. but of course nothing is reason an dub being unfinished. one example you can look at is GaoGaiGar. Now the dub they did was pretty good actually, however they only dub up 25 ep leaving the rest subbed. Betterman and Bridgoon had finished dubs but not GaoGaiGar which was due to low DVD sales in the west. so in conlsucion i don't dubs when they change VA, Not dubing the sequels and finally never fully compelete
dubbing the anime.

Now that I'm done rambling about dubbed anime's. I'll talk about Elfen Lied briefly, now i make sure checkout the manga soon but first i need rap up some manga's I'm currently reading. You did say the manga was more violent than the anime which is interesting since the violence of the anime was on par with like old ultra violent OVA. like when i first saw i was like ''Daaaaaaaaaaaamn this is a TV anime!? this like what you would see on a OVA not like something like a TV anime.'' still i do wonder what gory content the manga has in store. I'm quite glad that you understand that I'm obsess with the series currently. In fact when i originally made this the profile pic was actually going to be Nyu but the image didn't fit so instead I pick Kamjiou Touma from Toaru Majutsu No Index as the profile image which fit more to my personality.

I use to be in too of shock films, since they were pretty fascinating to me. and when said that drawings depicting horrifying imagery it remind me of the time when i first watch Attack on Titan. like when i was 7 i think? i watched the first ep and when it reach to the part when Eren's mom getting eaten by a titan. it basically traumatize me, like prior of watching AOT i had watched R-rated movies as a kid like the Friday 13 movies, Predator, Robocop, Terminator, etc. but now of those really effect me other Stephen kings movies like It or Cujo, which the scared the crap out of when i first saw them. but AOT really shocked me since to me it felt different from those violence movies i had watched prior. like it had my whole body shacking as if i was in Antarctica or something. But you think i wouldn't watch the rest of the anime, surprising i actually watch all of season 1 on Netflix. actually i must have became a fan of AOT to the point i had downloaded a 3D AOT fan game (through i was not good player anyway). i remember being disappointed that Netflix didn't add the 2nd season. but i got no plans on rewatching AOT anytime soon. for I will read the Mai-chan's manga just so i can torture my brother with those disturbing panels hehehehehe. Also there's this VN called saya no uta. You probably have heard of it, but from what I know it is know as the most disturbing VN of all time. And my thoughts were ''a game so disturbing that it might ruin some one for life? Count me in!'' I think I do like seeing some disturbing stuff just to see if they're really disturbing in the first place.

I definitely know that feel. Well to be fair I don't really have any friends left to talk anime's I like. Most of the friends I had, unfortunately had moved away and I'm not exactly the most sociable person in real life. But at least I'm glad that I signed up and decided to be friends with you. it has quite fun talking about obscure works. in fact i'm currently watching two obscure anime's Figure 17 and Giniro no Olynis Tokito. i have always found watching old forgotten anime's were lot more fascinating than any anime currently airing right now. like finding a hidden gem that was forgotten by the world. And there's a lot of obscure works on my list, both complete and on PTW. Although there was at one point, I wasn't really into of anime. I was more of a casual anime ever than I was now (the only two animes I was watching were DBS and MHA), however that changed when I discovered Gundam through a video by Crunchyroll: Every Gundam Timeline Explain. that video not only it made me into of Gundam, but also it made me start watching more anime's as I'm now. Without that video I probably be some normie watching some more casual anime's. But I'm quite happy that your enjoying this conversation even if does take weeks to reply to each other. :D

I definitely loved MegaZone 23 as being one of my favorite OVA of all time. Although I never watch part 3 as I only heard that the animation was lower quality than the first two parts. Same goes for BC Crash and I haven't the Iczer-1 sequels yet. But I'll watch them eventually. Other than that I agree that AD Police is a great spinoff of Bubblegum Crisis, with episode 3 being my favorite as it's pretty much a Darker Version of RoboCop. I think that for the music if they were going to remake it, I imagine it be something like the modern Macross Series (Frontier and Delta) or Symphogear (a Magical Girl anime mixed with some elements of Mecha). But that's what I imagine since obviously we need the right studio to do the job. Because if AIC is only going to do Tenchi Muyo sequels, then i think that Wit studio should be the one in charge of remaking BC. You likely know them for animating the first 3 season of Attack on Titan although I never watch AOT but I seen there other works Vivy, Spy x Family, and Bubble. I think just by looking at those series (more specifically Vivy and Bubble) I think they make a great remake of BC. The alternative would be starlight who did Symphogear and the modern Macross anime's. But I hoping it be Wit since a BC in their style would be absolutely Gorgeous.

I remember watch Brain Powered a while back when I was getting into of Gundam but I dropped as it didn't capture my attention at that time. Similar to Dunbine expect that I dropped it as I couldn't find a Sub version anywhere online as I didn't like the Dub. The Dub wasn't bad, just I wasn't a fan of it. Beside that I'm thinking of going back of finishing those series along side of watching Ideon in maybe later this year. Overman King Gainer is good show to enjoy however I do have to warn you that at times it can feel rushed or the pacing is too fast. Especially in the first episode I had no idea what was happening. But still it's a good show with some great animation and very unique Mecha design.


I have been meaning of checkout Rayearth for a while now. But I do have a plan of checkout Clamps other works (Blood-C, Cardcaptor Sakura, etc) as I heard they all are in the same universe so I'll watch them in order just to see the Cameo's, Easter Eggs, stuff like that. I'm planning on watching Orguss soon after I finished some of the anime's I'm currently watching, as it does look like a great series to watch. I only seen the opening of Orguss 2 but I do like the music as it kinda has that Macross Plus vibe to it. Still I'm hoping to watch it soon after I finished some of Mecha show's I'm currently watching.

Hmmm I see I suppose that if that's a way to save up time then I understand. I'm some what interest of watching Super Sentai as I watched some power rangers shows as a kid. Still I showed you that clip since I thought it be pretty funny to show you it as it was to me when I first saw it.

Betterman is a great show to watch in my opinion. It's a horror real robot with the characters design done by Takahiro Kimura(GaoGaiGar, Godannar, Code Geass and Gun X Sword). As a horror anime it does a good of making me feel uneasy, they even made worms a lot scarier than in real life. Both the Mecha and the Kajiu's designs are both pretty interesting and unique, specifically looking at one of the main characters Betterman lamina who can transform into different Kajiu forms. One of them which is Betterman Nebula basically a skeleton dragon that can fly and it's signature attack being called Psycho Voice. While it is a great show there some downsides the first being that it can be really confusing when first time watching it especially when they start saying scientific stuff that an average audience wouldn't understand and all so the lighting is really dark so it's best to watch it at night. But other than that it does have a couple of interesting things. the first being that it's actually a spinoff of GaoGaiGar, which while there isn't a lot a of connected to GaoGaiGar but there are little easter eggs and cameos that fans will point out. There's also one side character that appears in both show and two characters that are related to Gai Shishioh the main MC of GaoGaiGar. The other fact is that unlike where most anime intro are hype and outro being more chill, Betterman does the opposite of that although this was changed when it was brought over to the USA. And finally it's the first ever anime to broadcast in widescreen.


Through while Betterman is a great show, But I do want to recommend Fafner in the Azure and it's sequels. A Mecha anime done by studio Xebec and with character designer Hisashi Hirai who work on Gundam Seed. The series is most commonly referred as a EVA clone but like all EVA clones they really aren't clones as they pretty much doing they're own thing. If I were to give a spoiler free synopsis basically a group of kids are forced to pilot Mechs call Fafner by their parents in order to fight Kajiu Aliens called Festum. Sounds like Evangelion right? Through the biggest difference is that the parents don't like the fact that their kids having to fight against the Festum (which BTW they way worse then the Angels from Evangelion). As you can imagine it's a dark series with lots of sad moments. But the characters are all really good especially you have one character that is trying to be a super robot pilot in what's mostly a ''real robot'' type show. The one downside is that the first 15 eps are considered the worst part of the series until they change the writers of the series that it went from average to great. You should definitely check it out!


LMAO I haven't watched a YTP for a long time so it definitely brought back some memories (and the reason why my humor is so broken) and that YTP was really funny especially that part when Rika was stabbing herself while saying nippa lol! I definitely really like the 1st season when I watched back in March and I was originally planning to read the VN, but I decided not to as i realize that i watched Fate/Stay Night without reading the VN. Through the funny thing is that around January when I wanted to watch Higurashi I made the mistake of watching the remake instead of the 2006 one and quickly realizing my mistake I immediately left the remake. But I wouldn't get to watch the 2006 version until March of this year. Still I did very much enjoy it plus it's also the anime that had actually scarred me with the fingernail scene when I was a kid. Before I had watched Higurasgi for years I had seen that scene but never knew where it was from until I saw that scene and my reaction was ''Yo Yo is that the scene that traumatize me as kid!? After all these years I finally found, let's f****ing gooooooooo!!!''. Also here's a thing called AMV Hell which I watched after I had just finished season 1 but it was pretty funny especially the Higurashi part in 29:46


Glad that your enjoyed Redman! I forgot to mention about it having a American comic released in 2017 done by Matt Frank a well known artist in the Kajiu community. And from the few panels I have seen It's more of horror comic than what the TV series was. But unfortunately I couldn't find it anywhere so I couldn't read it.

Think your right about GoLion considering it was targeted for children (despite it's shock value). There never was really any character development compare to something to like Getter Robo which it being all ready based on a manga having better characterization than Golion. But one thing is I wonder how things would be if Daltanius was Lion Voltron instead of Golion?

As to how bad was it? I'd say pretty bad. Reusing shots is one thing but a whole scene is go too way too far! Like it was pretty much like jumpscare to me as when I first saw I was like ''Did they seriously reuse a entire scene!?'' I wouldn't be surprised that the budget of this anime was less than 100 Yen. Still I have to see if get interesting through I shouldn't expect it to be very high. But the premise is interesting, taking place in a world where what if Y2K happened but with psychics that can transform into monsters mixed with Mesopotamia mythology in it.

The manga was cancelled due to its publisher Bokurano Magazine going defunct. Through I never heard the previous series was cancelled by public backlash, but if it's I wonder what the backlash was? I kinda of doubt it be something religious as most Japanese people are mostly atheists. Considering that the manga was never finished definitely didn't help the anime at all, but there was the 2002 manga that ended in 2004 which I think they should had waited then adaptation the rest of the manga but unfortunately that didn't happen. I do wonder why did they just not remove the shadow's for home release? It could be possible that they likely forgot to remove it but who knows. The DVDs do look great but I'm not too surprised as stuff like old Video Games tend to be very expensive in websites like eBay.

Those are some really good Music tracks you got. I would totally be dancing to that if I was ever in a party. I'll try to find some horror punk music to listen to. Interesting for that band the Misfits to use a logo from a movie that was released after one year after WWII.

I'll definitely read the manga soon and also finally watch the OVA. The reason why I haven't watched the OVA yet was because I watched Elfen Lied in dubbed and found out that they changed some of voice actors that I was already used to (I hate it when Dubs decide to do that). But I'll be reading the Elfen Lied manga maybe in summer.

You know the moment mentioned Mai-chan's Ordinary Day was a equivalent to opening Pandora's Box. Because I'm actually interested of reading it. Not that I would read it now, but maybe later at some point in this year or the next one. Now while obviously this is a series that nobody would recommend (even after look at some of the panels) however I have seen some things on the Internet that no more how squeaky clean I want my brain to be there will always be there. And saying that in theory I should be able to endurance through the disturbing stuff in the manga. But when I do get to read it wish me luck alright:D

Then I'm quite glad I got to talk to you. As in real life the only two people I really talk about anime was my bro and a friend of mine. Although I already told what my bro is like when it comes to anime, my friend is more into of anime than my brother but he wasn't too interested of Mecha but I always recommend shows for him to watch, which he always enjoyed watching it. Well I have watched a lot Mecha show's so I'm going to mention a couple of even recommend like Fafner for example. Still I do really enjoy this company and feels we go on and on for a looooooooooong time:)

I discovered Bubblegum Crisis when I was in 9th Grade thanks to me watching a video by MercuryFalcon (alongside with other mecha anime like MegaZone 23 and Iczer-1). I was taken interested by the series and later I watched the 2040 series I loved both of them. I also seen AD Police OVA when I wanted to watch some cyberpunk anime's like Cyber City 808 for example. Outside of those I haven't seen the other Bubblegum series like Crash or The TV AD Police series but I'll get around to watching them eventually now that I'm interested of watching more Mecha shows. Also I think that Bubblegum Crisis should get a another reboot by AIC, since if MegaZone 23 is getting a reboot then Bubblegum Crisis should get a reboot as well. I definitely should try watching more of tomino anime's since the only one's in have watched were the Gundam series he directed, the Ideon movie's, and Overman King Gainer (I didn't add ideon because I have forgot what happen in the anime for me to put a proper score).

I did mention that I was getting interested of watching Mecha show's again. That's because when I made this account I wasn't too interested of Mecha as I was many months prior due to having watch a lot of non Mecha series as i wanted to branch out after watching so many Mecha series. I'm now in a mood of watching Mecha anime's again after watching Patlabor 2 and Martian Successor Nadesico Prince of Darkness. There's still a lot of series I want to watch like Aura Battler Dunbine, Rayearth, Orguss, Etc.

I think that even in 20% of speed I probably wouldn't be able to watch it. But I think it does help if you want to jog your memory of stuff you might've forgotten.
Ah the Mukade Tiger a another strange design I wonder what other strange Kaiju designs there were in the 60s to 70s. Here's a little bonus:


Considering that it's slow pace, guess it wouldn't be surprising to fall sleep on lain. I did say I watched it mostly at night I tend to do that with most horror anime I watch. Which is what I did when I first watched Higurasgi When They Cry and it actually scared the crap out of me. Like normally I don't get scared from watching horror anime the closest of which was Betterman.
But still, the first few eps did got me hook and I have only watched season 1 so far, but I'll watch the rest of the season in summer.

I haven't been in touch with any Kaiju related stuff (nor do I plan to return to it) although my brother is being a big Kaiju fan. But that's enough about my brother. Now Redman is an interesting to watch considering that's it's low very budget but it does have its charm, especially when watching our ''Hero'' brutally kills Kaiju that were just minding their own business. Which most Toku fans had called Redman more of a Serial Killer than a Hero, which was why I watched it. It's been awhile since I watched it but I think you might like it.

The anime they wanted was Future Robo Daltanius. Also Daltanius wasn't the only series they wanted there also Dairugger XV and Albegas, althrough the anime wasn't brought over since Dairugger XV (named Vehicle Voltron wasn't successful as Lion Voltron). Besides all of that I dropped Golion most becausce it was kind of boring to watch. At first it wasn't but over time as I watched it, I started to lost interest of the anime. Since that the character never really developed and were pretty much the same as episode one. Not to mention that I kept comparing it to Getter Robo G as it was a much better show then GoLion. I only watched it because it appeared in SRW W. But besides all of that it's still quite fascinating to see the changes when anime was localized throughout the 80s to 90s.

Gilgamesh did reuse a entire scene from the 1st episode and put in the 5th episode instead of animated a new scene, because they were that low on cash when making the anime. Although I haven't finished Gilgamesh yet so I have yet to see if it gets a little more interesting. I actually kind of like Demon Lord Dante which I gave it a 7/10 through it's probably more appropriate if I gave it a 6 or 5. I thought the story was a bit interesting especially how they treated the Christian God, which I imagine made a lot of Christians angry if they watched. Although I think the story would be more flesh out of it had 26 episodes, but unfortunately only down side is the animation. Like when I first watched it I didn't mind the animation that much, but looking at some clips yeah the animation is definitely bad. I'll never forget about that CGI fire, super out of place in the show and not to mention covering all the ''gore'' with shadows doesn't help either. It's funny to think there were other shows that had way better animation like RahXephon, Gundam Seed, and even Azumanga Daioh. Still I think it's one of mine favorite ''it's so bad it's good'' type of anime.

I was actually planning to read 20th Century Boys at some point, maybe after I read or watch Monster. I'll definitely checkout it soon.

That's interesting to know that there were crossover with other niche communities. I haven't listened to goth or horror punk through I'm a big fan of anything rock or heavy metal. I can imagine it was fun to see and listen to some of those bands and talk about other anime's you like with other people.

I haven't read the manga yet through I know some bits and pieces here and there. Although I do wonder had they kept the original script before changing it, would it had been an satisfying ending who knows. I always had this funny thought in my mind where someone that Elfen Lied was most hardcore anime they seen and I turn to them with a massive grin on my face saying ''guess you haven't seen Shoujo Tsubaki yet''. I be lying not to say I'm currently obsessed with Elfen Lied like I was with Genocyber back when I first saw it in 2022. Through for Genocyber it was more of me trying to make a better version of the anime (which the version I imagine is actually quite interesting), Elfen Lied on the other hand I'm not sure why I'm so obsessed with it. Why I'm I obsessed with it compared to all the other shows I watched. But even if i'm obsessed doesn't mean it's bad thing, I'm just glad that I watched Elfen Lied:)

What do you think of this conversation? Like the conversation started with me asking what do think of my favorite anime's and later we stared talking about anime's and stuff. I'm not saying it's a bad thing because I'm actually enjoying this conversation. And getting to talk to someone that has the same type of interest as me does put a smile on my face. What do you think?

Interesting so that's why I haven't heard of it until recently. I knew that Bubblegum Crisis was popular back then (popular enough to get a American comic by Dark Horse Comics), i wish that more people knew about it. I kinda figured that Zambot 3 would be a better use of time considering that it's well known for tomino killing off all his characters plus it being 23 eps long would be a good show to watch when i get around watching it.

I was right that the mysterious mecha anime was a super robot show. Since when you mentioned it being in Guam, the first thing that came to my mind was when Mazinger Z was brought over to Hawaii in the 1970s. I only thought of that because both of them are islands lol. But be sure to tell me when you do find it alright:)

I wouldn't want to speed up the eps to see the fights since I might likely missed something important if I was watching a tokusatsu series. But besides that It takes like forever to finshed an anime even if it's 12 eps but I think it depends on if it clicks. If does than I would try to finshed that series in a few weeks or a day depending on the anime, but I like really depends on if it clicks or not. I can definitely agree with Death Note, me and my bro would 100% be agonizing over the cliff hangers if we watch it airing. I personally think that Lain is something to watch a few episodes or just one at a time. Which is what I did when I first watch but mostly at night or the evening since i personally think it's better to watch lain at night to get that spooky atmosphere in my opinion. The reason that my brother is on ep 1 is that he keeps on sleeping on ep 2 at night, but he's still interested of finishing the series just that he can be a lot more lazier than me.

I wasn't a huge fan of Toku either but I used to be very into of Kaiju related stuff like Godzilla, Gamera, Ultraman, etc. I had a fascination of giant monsters as a kid, seeing Kaiju's destroy cities and clashing each other made me wish they were real. I was a big fan of Godzilla especially when I went to see the 2014 movie and I know a lot of facts about Godzilla with me watching a lots of videos, some of his movies, and reading stuff on fan wiki's online. But I wasn't into Ultraman all that much as a kid I remember seeing clips of the ps2 Ultraman and watching a review of the thailand film Hanuman vs. the 7 Ultra brothers. Oh! I completely forgot that I watched Redman! You probably have heard of this show since your into of Showa era Toku. Besides all of that, when I decide to getting of Tokusatsu it would be the Kamen Rider series since they a lot more interesting than the Ultra series.

....................what did I just watch. I did see a starfish monster dressed as Hitler and even has Nazis as his minions? And also did they have sticks that can shoot off freaking cannons!? Plus he even threw a star fish too! This right here obviously doesn't need context this is a work of art right here. I knew the japanese can be weird, but this was just magnificent. This is why I love Japan so much they can give us wonderful stories or they can just be weird, maybe even both!

Yeah I would not be surprise either if was shorted (considering that it's sequels were not brought over in the west). There was another show called Beast King Golion otherwise more famous outside of Japan Voltron. In which they change a lot of things when they bought it over, like removing all the violences and death of the original version with the biggest change is when earth gets destroyed in ep 20 (in the first ep the earth went to a nuclear war that killed everyone on the planet) and change it into a random planet. Doesn't get worse by the fact that the staff could not understand japanese so try to understand what happened on screen. Changes like this can sometime turn an anime into a different show when localize in the west, which makes it interesting to see the difference between different versions. Of course while Voltron became popular outside of its home country where it was forgotten, Technoman did not and would fall into obscurity.

I haven't seen the remakes yet but it's interesting to see kinda of what takes they would make in the 21st century. However Gilgamesh is weird. I'm still watching it, but it's one of the most low budget anime of the 2000s I have seen so far (2nd only to Demon Lord Dante). The manga is like super obscure as it doesn't have a rating on MAL but I did look at some of the panels online and it's totally different from the anime. Pretty sure someone in the studio wanted to make an anime but couldn't figure out to make a story and then found the manga decides to adapt it in his on way (like removing aliens that were in the manga for some reason). I only watched because the title got me thinking of Fate Gilgamesh instead.

I can see why you would prioritize the 60s Astro Boy since it is the first TV anime after all. Obviously shows targeted for very young children ain't for me but I could see them being entertaining sometimes but we of course are not there targeted audience. Oh yeah! I completely forgot about Pluto from last year. Pluto is an anime that is a reimagining of one Astro Boy story line ''The Greatest Robot on Earth.'' it's a darker story that was done by Naoki Urasawa (best know for Monster). i never got to finished reading it but I thought it was pretty good.


I'll definitely try listening to old anime podcast and look at some those old magazines scans! And you know when you said Cartoon Fantasy Organization I thought to myself ''what that sounds familiar?'' so I look it up and I immediately realized who they were. Because they were founded by the founders of the furry community that we know today. I watched a video talking about it long time ago and they did mention the Cartoon Fantasy Organization, but still interesting how they play role in the American anime clubs back then.

BTW here's some interesting facts about the Elfen Lied anime you may or may not have known.
1. When Lynn Okamoto was looking for studios to adapt his manga most of them rejecting it as it's content would not sell well and be unsuccessful. It was not until Studio Arms pick up the series. There's also the fact it was considered average media in Japan which I guess in a country where they made stuff like Berserk, Devilman, Violent Jack, North of the First Star, Genocyber, etc. I could see there reason (it could also explain why it was unpopular in Japan).
2. There were a few changes were made in the last few eps before we got the final version. The biggest change was that after Lucy fought the soldiers we cut to the facility where Kakuzawa is about launch the missile containing the Diclonius virus just like in the manga but he's stop by Kurama (probably because his daughter saved him at the last second), Kurama kills the chef however the missile is already launch but then it quickly falls down destroying the facility. And finally the person that was at door was none other Nyu or Lucy maybe since she actually open the door unlike the version we got.
This was changed as the director wanted to more drama than action which is what we got. I kinda of wish they kept the original version but the missile thing would be something that came out of nowhere without proper buildup, but I'm perfectly fine with the ending we got. What do you think?

It's surprising to hear that Record of Lodoss was popular in the west, I expected it was popular in Japan with all the games, manga, novels it has. But that fact it was popular in the west is still surprising to me and why have I not heard of this anime before? I'm not planning on watch this anime any time soon since there are other series I want to watch like Zambot 3, but I guess sometime In the future i'll probably watch it.

Hmm..I see, I was just wishing that I had my own collection of anime. I figured that it was expensive to get physical copies, but oh well. I just like imagining having a bunch of physical copies of both old and new anime's and watch them on my 10 yrs old TV in my room. But that's just me wishing that, I'll be sticking with pirated websites, I have been that since I was kid and I'll keep on doing that. Although I curious of what that Mech show is. Of course you don't remember it right now but from what you said it ending up in Guam? I should definitely update my information on US territory because I never heard of that place lol. But until you find the name of the anime I'll be waiting till then.

I agree that action episodic are lot easier to watch than comedic anime's since since there more monsters of the week naturally. Through I'm surprised that you manage to watch 30 eps of Kamen Rider in one day!? Like I barely can finish an anime with only 12 episodes yet you manage to 30 in one day! I think the last time I did something similar like this was when I was watching Part 5 of JoJo where there was only 2 days left before New Year's Eve (December 31st). Having not watched part 5 since early November and only watched 6 episodes so I decide to finishing it before New Year's Eve and I finished it just before Dec 31st rolled around (I was basically speed running). There was also my Brother when he watched Death Note, you see when I first talked about my brother I was watching Death Note and I was in 20 eps in, so I decide to introduce my brother to Death Note and immediately it capture his attention as he manges to watch all of 37 eps in 3 days at 5 clock in the morning. I didn't even finish Death Note yet! Although he still haven't even finished Serial Experiments Lain (he's only ep 1).

Your into of Tokusatsu right? I say this because I'm somewhat into of the Tokusatsu Genre but I haven't really watched them with only Garo and Ultraman Gaia. I haven't finished nether of these series with Garo I watched only the first 2 episodes and Ultraman Gaia 10 episodes. I haven't gone back to watch them since May of last year through I'm interested of revisiting Garo since it was pretty interesting to me. Ultraman Gaia on the other hand, I have no plan to watch it again so it probably be years when I decide to revisit it again.

I watched a lot of 4kids and Sarban Growing up so it interesting to see the major difference between the original and the ones aired in the US like I'm currently watching Tekkaman Blade where in America it was called Technoman and I wonder to myself how much censorship did they do in order to aired it for children since Tekkaman was not target for children. In the 2nd episode a lot of people are killed by giant space bugs in that episode and wonder how would they censored that. While 60s anime is not for me I can agree that I do like the design of the Mechs being like cartoonish with Mechs like tetsujin 28, Giant Robo, and Poseidon from Babel II. The Mechs weren't the only ones with a cartoonish design of that era, people like Go Nagai and Shotaro Ishinshori (creator of Cyborg 009 and Kamen Rider) had drawn there characters with cartoonish design that I like especially when there adapt into animate form in the 2000s (well expect for Shotaro's Gilgamesh in 2003 where they decide to make a completely different anime for some reason). You don't see lot of cartoonish design in newer anime's then more older one's since I do like seeing cartoon like design.

I haven't watched Astro Boy for a long time I don't have any interest of revisiting the series right now especially since the newer series after the 2003 anime are targeted for like kindergarteners in Japan and I'm not going to watch a show that is only targeted to 6 yr olds or lower. But it be interesting to watch the series again just for nostalgia.

You know I have always been fascinated by the early anime fanbase in West from the 80s to 90s before anime slowing become popular thanks to Toonami. Like the fanbase bring over lot of shows and fansub the anime's that are super niche in the west. It's fascinating to see the fanbase being from niche to being mainstream and learning history of anime is a lot of fun to learn about, like I'm inspired by YouTubers like Hazal, Kenny Laurence, and MercuryFalcon. And see them having watched and reviews old anime and being quite knowledgeable about anime, I wanted to be that too. There's a lot of old shows that I'm planning to watch one day:)

I found the anime I was looking for. It's called Record of Lodoss War. from what I looked at Wikipedia it's a franchise that has multiple games, manga, novels, etc. the anime I have is a 13 episodes OVA done by studio Madhouse, which was released in 1990. I'm kinda surprised that I even have this, probably one of my family member must have bought it a long time ago.

You know I kinda of wish that I have my own collection of Anime, DVDS, VHS, LD, etc. maybe I should try my own collection in the future, but right i going to stick with pirated websites.

I think your right about episodic series, since I argue that they best to watch it one at a time (I'll probably do that when I decide to watch Medabots again). But there was Brave Command Dagwon which I manges to watch 20 eps through one sitting! Through I think that depends on the series we're watching. I haven't watched any Pokemon related since Pokémon XYZ and the same can be said for Digimon but I have been thinking of picking it up Digimon again by watching the original japanese subs since they changed a lot of things in dub so it would be interesting to the difference:) I heard most of 60s anime you listed out, and when did list them out i remember I use to watch Astro Boy. More specifically the 2003 anime that I watched all the time plus that 2009 American adaptation movie. I did also watched the 1980s version, but I never since the one from the 60s. Well probably because 60s anime's are pretty outdated for my taste, I be more willing to watch an anime from the 70s than watching one from the 60s.

That's interesting to hear that there were fan made boots that were traded around and also there were different VHS releases. If there is one think I like, it's learning about history of certain anime's like learning about how Robotech was made:)

2000 anime VHS tapes!? Like I had only a few anime tapes but the fact you have 2000 anime tapes is impressive. I used to have a lot of tapes but most of them have been sold off by my family. The few anime tapes I remember having were a dragon ball movie, the Digimon movie, the first 4 pokemon movies, and the 2nd season of Digimon. But unfortunately they been sold off, but I have two anime dvds one of them is the first naturo movie. The other one I don't remember what's it called since I never watch or even touched it and it's in a box somewhere. From the look at the box art it look like an fantasy anime from the 90s and was probably an OVA, I probably tell you what it is when i find it.

I watched Medabots when I was 13 and I remember liking before I dropped it most likely because I lost interest. I watch like a lot of Pokemon when I was a kid with Pokemon Black and White being the first pokemon anime I watched. However i was more into of Digimon than Pokemon especially that I watched the first 3 season of Digimon on Netflix and Digimon Tamers was the first ever anime made me cry. I never really watched Yu-Gi-Oh but I remember watching the Beyblade Metal series and also the original Bakugan series. Now that I think about i watched a lot of children anime as a kid, shows like Sonic X, Kirby, Mega Man NT warrior, dinosaur king, etc. But your right they can be pretty hit or miss.

I definitely knew to not watch it until after I watch the anime, but it still would be an interesting video when i get to watch it:)

I don't really own a lot of physical copies of anime, so I tend to go more pirated websites since there lot easier to find and watch anime at least for me.

Hmm...I haven't watched a lot of anime that are targeted for children but I'm somewhat curious to what other children anime you watched?

I'll make sure to watch that video at some point. It would be interesting to learn how it was made and cultural impact it had in Japan, but it probably be after I watch the anime so for now I'll save it later:)

I'll make note of that when I watched an anime the deserves to be in the trash.

Considering what you briefly described Gushing over Magical Girls I can only imagine what Twitter would say when it gets over the to the west (if they leave it uncensored) and also Elfen Lied if it got a remake (which i hope it will).

Godannar is pretty good show, while it ain't my favorite Mecha anime it's quite good show to enjoy. There's of course the fan service athrough it isn't explicit as Gushing over Magical Girls, the story is pretty good, and the show is pretty much an Homage to both 70s super robot shows and the tokusatsu genre. Overall I gave it 8/10 for both seasons and you might enjoy it when you watch it.

I think I be fine watching LOGH, like I watched a few eps of Star Trek before which had lots of sitting and talking so I should fine. I figured the Space Battleship Yamato would be good place to start especially with its massive influence on sci-fi anime as a whole (and it being reference in Haruhi Suzumiya). I might check 999 first considering that I seen some of the posters that look interesting and also Arcadia too.

I haven't watched any other anime that is as bad as Brynhildr in the Darkness since that it is the first anime I truly despised (I gave it a 3/10 score). I have some anime that I have in my list that are considered bad, through I have yet to watch them but if they really are what other people say then you can expect me put it a very low score.

When you said Gushing over Magical Girls, I decided to look it up and thought to myself is this hentai? It probably isn't but there are lots of explicit shots that had one of my eyebrows raise up. Through then a again it isn't my first time seeing an anime with lots of ''fanservice''(Godannar comes to mind).

I think he would be fine to watch it as long as it's 100 eps or something. But I haven't seen LOGH and I have no idea what's it about anyway. Although it is one the few anime I plan watching when I decided to getting into the space opera genre. The closest to getting into that genre is Gundam, Macross, Gunbuster, Infinite Ryvius, and Martian Successor Nadesico. If I start watching space opera shows it probably would either be Space Battleship Yamato or Space Pirate Captain Harlock.

Your right that a 5/10 is basically a average score, however there arebsome form of enjoyment of watching them. Take Genocyber for example, the writing isn't good at all but what makes up for it is the ultra violent gore. There are a lot of bad anime out there but there are some that are a ''so bad they good'' kind of way, which as a result they have own unique way of enjoying the show despite being awful. I heard some of the anime you listed (especially with Apocalypse Zero being on my plan to watch list), but I haven't seen them yet so I might watch them in future. But like I said, I kind of like watching them and never truly hated them except for Brynhildr in the Darkness.

Brynhildr in the Darkness release in 2014 that was done by Lynn Okamoto (who created Elfen Lied) is the worst anime i have ever watched. Now I could make a review about how garbage of an anime it is, but there's already review in this website that basically says the same thing of what I thought of the show. But basically I expected to be like Elfen Lied but instead it was a generic harem anime with lots of fan services, flat and uninteresting characters, forgettable ost, mediocre animation, a deus ex machia, the ''gore'' is not even that gory, and finally the song of the 2nd Opening not only does not fit the tone of the show but doesn't even fit the what's happing in the opening its self! Now there are people that like this show which is fine, but to me this is not a good anime at all.

OVA are (mostly) over in Japan huh. Interesting to know but I shouldn't really be surprised since ONA are like the successor to OVA (basically like pasting down the touch to the new generation). But even if a new Elfen Lied anime would have censorship or cause problems in the end what we got is a new Elfen Lied anime and that's all that matters. But until the world blessed us with a new adaptation, I'll just watch and find similar anime's to Elfen Lied.

Also Galactic Heroes has 110 episode as a OVA!? I thought that was like a joke or something but that's like what a long running TV anime would have not an OVA! Besides that you're right about sticking to longer TV anime or movies since my brother likes to watch longer series as it gives more content. The more content it has the more he enjoyed show at least what he said.

I tend to give the shows I watched usually a 5 all the ways to a 10. If you see a anime I watch with a very low score that means I did not enjoyed it.

I think showing him a short series without knowing the episode count could work, but I doubt it would work since I would need to convince my brother to watch this series (which 90% of the time he would not be interested). I view most OVA's as like movies or mini-series through it depends on the series. Like 8th Ms Team was like a TV series for example.

I was aware that Elfen Lied was not popular in Japan compared to the west thanks to a video called Why Did We like Elfen Lied by the YouTube hazal. It was a 2 hour long video (which the video itself is pretty good to watch), which talks about the history, how it impact the anime fanbase in the west, and the legacy of Elfen Lied. I was thinking that Netflix would be the company if the manga was adaptation and I definitely think censorship would be a problem especially if it was on streaming services, so it might work best if goes straight to OVA. You might be right that it may not work in OVA since the anime was not much a hit in Japan but at same time it could work in western countries. Like for example the Big O was not a hit in Japan so it was cut down to 13 eps, however when it was brought to the United States it was a big hit there that it got a 2nd season. So the way I see it is that Madhouse adapts the manga into a OVA, the OVA is not a hit in Japan, however when brought over to the western countries it become popular and considering that how well known and infamous Elfen Lied is, I doubt it would be a flop like it would in Japan.

I might try gunpla in the future, but like I said before I'm laidback and a lazy type of person so I wouldn't really be interested of build them. But hey, I like looking at people's own custom made gunpla online:)

Yeah the 2001 Hellsing anime was definitely overshadowed by Ultimate and for me it was a 6 or a 7 out of 10 score. But there were a few things I like about the show. For example the tone of atmosphere is darker than the overtop action that is Ultimate (which I love), and the ost is really good especially with the opening.

Interesting to know that you made some amv in the past. I used to make amv too, but I never finished them. The two videos that were Mecha amv, the first i used the song revelation from Kamen Rider Ryuki that feature shows like GaoGaiGar, Getter Robo, Gunbuster, Mazinkaiser, Gravion, and Dancouga Nova. The other amv used the song dead or alive from Koutetsu Shin Jeeg that feature Gundam 00, Shin Mazinger Z, and Gurren Lagann. But like I said I never finished them and they been lost to time.

Hope you'll watched it since GunGrave is definitely worth the watch:)

Your probably right about someone not liking the humor of FLCL since when ever I ask him why do you hate it? He always saids ''it's too wacky'' and does not explain any further. My Brother (who is younger than me) is not really into of anime compare to me, like he watches about 20 or less anime he watched. He's probably the same person that might not enjoyed Azumanga Daioh (as evident when I showed him the intro and he didn't not cared). Plus he didn't not got attached with the story since it was only 6 eps, my brother gets to shows that have 26 eps or more. Like for example if he was watching Elfen Lied with it have only 13 eps, he would not care about the story nor the characters themselves, But if he was watching Death Note with it have 37 eps he would actually care. I don't understand how his brain works when it comes to anime.

I too wish Elfen Lied had a 2nd season, but considering it has been a decade it's unlucky it would get an season 2. But instead an new adaptation of the manga done by one of my favorite studio Madhouse. considering since that studio Arms was shut done in 2020 I think pick Madhouse would be perfect since they did works like Hellsing Ultimate, Gunslinger girl, Parasite the maxim, etc. I personally think would make a good adaptation of Elfen Lied. So the Wii had an web browser like the Wii U huh. Too bad I don't have the Wii anymore and the Wii U is basically broken so oh well.

I'm somewhat interest of gunpla and plamo but unfortunately i don't have any of them. I did saw a Gouf custom model kit at a store once, but I didn't buy it. I think that doing gunpla does look fun to build but I'm not interested of build them since I'm more of laid back person that does not really get things done so I might not really finished them unfortunately.
