I know Im randomly asking but does anybody know of a method to log back into an Instagram account..? I was stupid lost my password. I love any help you can give me.
@Cruz Westin I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Takes a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
Well, you have to consider that Taoist, Shinto and Buddhist afterlives ARE bureaucratic; I mean in traditional Chinese beliefs the court of the Jade Emperor is referred to as the Heavenly Bureaucracy, lol.
@TheRezro Yes, quiet correct, I mean to say that even the Mandate of Heaven is in the form of bureaucracy, lol. A Taiwanese friend of mine recently said “Well of course the traditional believers know the afterlife is real-because it’s broken, just like Earth. A perfect afterlife? No, too suspect” lol.
@TheResro Also, I think we can both appreciate the presence of the 10 Kings of Hell, and the declothing hag, huh? Lol The only thing that would have been better is if Jizo Busatsu was called upon during the trial, lol.
@Yogi Deva-Das Well.. I understand reasons behind the idea that afterlife isn't perfect. Idea of karmic circle is more about reincarnating in forms more fitting to current state of soul what do change over time. But I don't want sound as ignoramus douchebag, but some Asians ideas regard that are nuts. I understand why reincarnating in heaven could be boring as it is domain of absolute order and bureaucracy (Taoism) but some ideas are so forced that I don't understand why people don't see them as obvious hoaxes. Seriously, why deity would need money for example? Also who judge the judge? In fact from I understand about judgment from Buddhism is that "king of hell" has ability to inflict ignorance on judged and that way learn simply the truth. That make holes of usual law systems irrelevant.
The demon who takes the clothes from the spirits of the dead IS actually pretty creepy in the original mythology. I'm summarizing, but in essence when you enter the underworld, your actions in life determine where you are allowed to cross a river. Those who live a good life cross a bridge, a mixed life crosses at a ford where they have to wade through waist-deep water, and an evil life makes you swim. When you reach the other side, two demons meet you, one of which is the basis for this character. She takes your clothes to weigh them, and the amount of water weight will reveal how your life was lived. However, if you strip naked before the crossing to try to avoid judgement, she will flay you and weigh your skin in place of the clothes.
Jokes on her, a full human skin weighs much less than the standard jeans, sneakers, and tshirt uniform of the typical modern human. It also absorbs no water so it wont soak up anything and thus while you'll experience great pain, you can't die because you're already dead and you're garenteed to not just be okay, but seen as being BETTER than you really are. Also, what if someone dies wearing latex or vinyl because they sunffed it mid BDSM session? Or what if they died naked for any number of reasons? Is there a clothing daemon who hands out water-absorbing close to these people? I'm not asking to mock the religion, I'm genuinely curious.
First, keep in mind that this is coming from my limited knowledge of the subject. I'm not Japanese, and any info I have is a product of my curiosity, rather than a cultural awareness. This is a legend from ancient Japan, so latex and vinyl were not in existence yet. I've seen some representations where when you enter the afterlife, you appear as you did normally in life, not necessarily exactly as you were when you died. It's more a representation of you than your physical dead body. Otherwise, someone who died in an explosion would enter as a pile of debris. I don't know for sure, but given that this is essentially a "boogeyman" story, (one designed to scare people out of their wicked ways) I'm sure it's meant to be at least partially metaphorical, rather than literal.
Maybe it's just cause I'm fresh off of a replay of Ace Attorney 6, but I think I can explain why the mirror wouldn't be the end-all of justice. It reflects the true thoughts of the one who looks into it, but what if the one who looks was simply deceived into thinking they were guilty? Without further proof otherwise, such evidence could be rendered circumstantial at best.
So a lot of this is just ripped whole hog from traditional Chinese mythology. This includes the courtroom aspect, written down bylaws for the Spirit World, the fact that a ghost would need a defendant, the infallible mirror, and the spirits still requiring cash money to perform services. Of course the anime is assuming you're familiar with those aspects, as its original viewers would be, but then it piles on the Christian aspects and other bugfuck stuff to make things confusing for everyone.
I always wondered why they need earthly money... Though I guess they could just use it to buy earthly possessions, it isn't like the gods are immaterial. Though it is kind of like being paid in garlic.
To be fairer, SA is a whole subcontinent with an extremely diverse geography, ethnicities, and politics. As others have commented, Chile and Uruguay are very safe places, and everything outside of the main cities in Argentina, Brazil, Ecuador, Bolivia, Peru and Paraguay is also quite safe. Venezuela isn't so dangerous regarding crime, but has become an absolute shithole with famine and medicine scarcity decimating the population. Only Colombia is really, truly ravaged by internal war, drug trafficking and corruption. But it looks like Switzerland when compared to El Salvador, Honduras or many parts of Mexico.
Alexandra: As a Chilean married to an Argentinian, I can straight away tell you that that person was lying, or very confused. Healthcare in Argentina is indeed universal and free; people ride the bus from neighboring countries to get treated there (and there's a lot of disagreement among Argentinians as to whether that's good or bad). Sure, the facilities and technology in most public hospitals isn't up to the levels of Johns Hopkins or the Mayo, but it's still miles better than dying because you don't have insurance. BTW, did you know that the first heart transplant was performed by an Argentinian surgeon?
I would *not* say that the US isn't a global leader in medical technology - and it's not just boner pills or painkillers. The US still has some of the world's most advanced medical facilities, and publishes more medical research per year than any other country. They definitely do have a problem with *access* to good medicine, though, or even to basic treatments for poorer people. As to the quality of drugs in Latin America, in most of the larger countries it's as good or better than the US. All the major pharmaceutical holdings have laboratories and factories in Brazil, Argentina and Mexico (which incidentally provides the American market with a sizable portion of its drugs), and it's quite common that both the availability and price of patented medicines is better in those countries. What happens in many places in South America, in particular, is that the distribution of medical facilities is extremely uneven. Urban, population-dense areas have tons of hospitals and drugstores, while remote areas often have squat. I remember hiking in Peru, and we were told to be extremely careful, because the nearest medical station was two hours away on *mule* (no roads), and the closest proper hospital another three hours away on ambulance. This situation is extremely common over the subcontinent, which is covered in rainforests, deserts, and especially mountains (pretty big ones too).
I can't correct you with hard data, and it is true that funding is far more scarce these days than it used to be - for basic science. But a country doesn't lose its academic prowess from one day to the next, it takes time, and the US is still very healthy on that front. It's a net brain importer, the #1 destination for doctoral candidates of all fields all over the world. The fact that many of the most brilliant minds currently alive opt to pursue their higher education in the US is telling - as is the fact that many choose to stay afterwards.
cioda I think they’re still cordial, but they haven’t shared anything’s the all. I don’t think it’s worth getting too worried about it’s been over a year and if they had bad blood it’s probably settled by now
FINALLY! I've been secretly waiting for you to review Riding Bean for years! Literally grew up on it. Super excited for the next review Sage. I know you'll do me proud.
Close. The word for money is okane. But that is, indeed, still punnable, especially since there are many ways you could phrase a sentence with crab in it that would have you say "o kini."
Hey, the Material Plane may be a fragment of the infinite vast of the cosmos...but a guy's gotta eat, the suit's not cheap and spirit warding material are damn expensive.
Can't wait for Riding Bean, Sage. I've been waiting for you to review that one for a long time. PS I would love to see Suave review Debutante Detective Corps
"I may just be a small town supernatural ghost defense attorney but even I can tell you that somebody tried to pull a fast one on my googly eyed plaintiff here."
17:26 Ok, this seems similar to that scene in Kill la Kill with the students at the Kyoto school during the raid trip. I’m guessing this is a Shinto thing? While I am a Religious Studies major, my knowledge of Shinto is a bit limited. Can anyone explain?
I remember seeing this on cable once! It was probably on the IFC around 1999-2001. It was so out of left field that I couldn't comprehend what the hell was going on.
If that happens it would probably be a con exclusive video. There are so many scenes where the characters are naked or have sex that censoring it would be pointless. It's the reason why Sage has only shown his Bible Black video during cons.
Used to see that a long time ago. True story though it was only sub I think and it was on IFC (Independent Film Channel) and it was a Tim Mr when the channel was good no commercials. No really I saw this
hmmm, not sure if it was a thing in the States, but how about reviewing Gasaraki? Had some really rad people from the Mecha department. PS: Thank you for all the awesome reviews and the puns and sketches. You always make me laugh! XD Keep going!
Have you ever thought about doing a Slice of Life month? Like Bartender, Binbō Shimai Monogatari, Blue Spring Ride, and Tamayura: Hitotose . I'd like to see your thoughts on those kinds of anime.
I know i'm seriously late to the party here Sage but for what it's worth, was so sorry to hear about the fire ( I cant lie my biggest fear was that the show would stop ) but seriously hope all is well and u can keep doin what u do. I've watched every episode of Anime Abandon at least twice or more, love the show and the best part is u seem to improve with each new episode, sorry to ramble and u prolly wont even see this but I wanted to let you know you are appreciated. peace out bro
This was a really fun episode. I can't believe I've never heard of Judge before, but having Bennett the Sage discuss it seems to be the best way to experience it. I tried looking up the English voice cast, but I found something far more dark and interesting: This comes from the same company as Guardian of Darkness (Takegami), which I've been wanting to see for a long time. Have you done a video or research on Guardian of Darkness?
Oki, I'm confused. I'm watching this over and over again, and I'm not seeing the answer. Who is the main character in this anime? It's like a long-winded animated way to show different departments, but then.... for what?
There's also the fact that he only reviews stuff that's dubbed - even if his cutoff date wasn't an issue, QoS doesn't have a dub. And quite frankly, if he was going to make another exception to his rule about only reviewing dubs, I'd much rather it be something like Millenium Actress than QoS.
Do not apologize for the Clue reference. Our family made it a point to play Clue, while watching Clue, for Thanksgiving. It is objectively the best movie based on a board game ever made...
Sometimes I wonder how I came to own a copy of Judge. But I remember like it was yesterday. I had to return a bootleg DVD of Ninja Resurrection after realizing the CD was of Ninja Scroll. I didn't want to risk to next copy being the same thing, so I just exchanged it for Judge.
I'll just say this....the judges of "darkness" are probably a reference to the 10 kings (japanese afterlife mythology), the mirror is also another reference, as was the old lady who strips the clothes off the dead....I learned all this from another anime dealing with the afterlife (lol can anyone guess)
Sage you bypassed the best part of this anime, the part where the parrot irritates the girlfriend by repeating all the sex noises she made, ;)
I know Im randomly asking but does anybody know of a method to log back into an Instagram account..?
I was stupid lost my password. I love any help you can give me.
@Harper Karsyn instablaster ;)
@Cruz Westin I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff atm.
Takes a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
Well, you have to consider that Taoist, Shinto and Buddhist afterlives ARE bureaucratic; I mean in traditional Chinese beliefs the court of the Jade Emperor is referred to as the Heavenly Bureaucracy, lol.
@Yogi Deva-Das
Except heaven isn't an afterlife but land of the gods. Underworld is generally quite chaotic.
@TheRezro
Yes, quiet correct, I mean to say that even the Mandate of Heaven is in the form of bureaucracy, lol. A Taiwanese friend of mine recently said “Well of course the traditional believers know the afterlife is real-because it’s broken, just like Earth. A perfect afterlife? No, too suspect” lol.
@TheResro Also, I think we can both appreciate the presence of the 10 Kings of Hell, and the declothing hag, huh? Lol The only thing that would have been better is if Jizo Busatsu was called upon during the trial, lol.
@Yogi Deva-Das
Well.. I understand reasons behind the idea that afterlife isn't perfect. Idea of karmic circle is more about reincarnating in forms more fitting to current state of soul what do change over time. But I don't want sound as ignoramus douchebag, but some Asians ideas regard that are nuts. I understand why reincarnating in heaven could be boring as it is domain of absolute order and bureaucracy (Taoism) but some ideas are so forced that I don't understand why people don't see them as obvious hoaxes. Seriously, why deity would need money for example? Also who judge the judge? In fact from I understand about judgment from Buddhism is that "king of hell" has ability to inflict ignorance on judged and that way learn simply the truth. That make holes of usual law systems irrelevant.
To be fair, that's just one branch of Buddhism.
Keep in mind the place it was founded was Nepal.
The demon who takes the clothes from the spirits of the dead IS actually pretty creepy in the original mythology. I'm summarizing, but in essence when you enter the underworld, your actions in life determine where you are allowed to cross a river.

First, keep in mind that this is coming from my limited knowledge of the subject. I'm not Japanese, and any info I have is a product of my curiosity, rather than a cultural awareness.
This is a legend from ancient Japan, so latex and vinyl were not in existence yet. I've seen some representations where when you enter the afterlife, you appear as you did normally in life, not necessarily exactly as you were when you died. It's more a representation of you than your physical dead body. Otherwise, someone who died in an explosion would enter as a pile of debris.
I don't know for sure, but given that this is essentially a "boogeyman" story, (one designed to scare people out of their wicked ways) I'm sure it's meant to be at least partially metaphorical, rather than literal.
Judge Fudge would watch this anime but he's too busy being delicious.
MforZorro | Movesets this post has too many likes (and im one of them)
I JUST saw you on the new cinema snob episode. You have good taste :)
Drawn Together reference
@MforZorro | Movesets: In my humble opinion, Comedy Central missed a perfect opportunity to make a spinoff cartoon on Judge Fudge.
their where shorts on Judge Fudge on the web
Minor nitpick: It's an unkindness of ravens, not a murder. A murder is for crows and magpies.
Does it help that the unkindness maybe actually murdered him
Maybe it's just cause I'm fresh off of a replay of Ace Attorney 6, but I think I can explain why the mirror wouldn't be the end-all of justice. It reflects the true thoughts of the one who looks into it, but what if the one who looks was simply deceived into thinking they were guilty? Without further proof otherwise, such evidence could be rendered circumstantial at best.
Jason Vorhees using Jason Bourne as a shield. That's fanart I want to see.
Judge, jury, executioner.
Sage is the *LAW!*
LAAAAAAW/
I am the lawn!
@Tchitchouan Inouane
"that's a pretty one-sided judicial system !"
No shit. Dredd was satire on fascism.
And ORDER
magatetus *DUN-DUN!*
I got an Audi commercial during the middle ad.
Me too! I think a lot of people did.
Professor X just smashed Starlord in the face with a keyboard!!!
Always happy to see a new episode of Anime Abandon with Bennett The Sage, The charismatic, comical host with the most!
So a lot of this is just ripped whole hog from traditional Chinese mythology. This includes the courtroom aspect, written down bylaws for the Spirit World, the fact that a ghost would need a defendant, the infallible mirror, and the spirits still requiring cash money to perform services.

I always wondered why they need earthly money... Though I guess they could just use it to buy earthly possessions, it isn't like the gods are immaterial. Though it is kind of like being paid in garlic.
i wouldnt say ripped like that
honestly on itself asian culture shares a lot of symbolisms, traditions, deitis. and gods
Why the need for a prosecutor and defense when there’s a infallible mirror?
So the main character is a mix between Rock from Black Lagoon and Light from Death Note, yet he is not voiced by Brad Swaile.
It's a murder of crows, an unkindness of ravens. Yes, I'm a dork
A business of ferrets and, my favorite, a covey of quail
turkishvan2 I prefer a Committee of Vultures.
I've got a Committee roosting somewhere in the trees around my house. They filled the skies a few days ago
turkishvan2 That sounds creepy.
Nah. It was cool. They have this beautiful gliding thing they do when they fly
I must say. Looking back at older content, Bennett has lost some decent amount of weight. Keep it up, Sage. Lookin good.
To be fair, South America is indeed a dangerous place
And some I assume are good people.
To be fairer, SA is a whole subcontinent with an extremely diverse geography, ethnicities, and politics. As others have commented, Chile and Uruguay are very safe places, and everything outside of the main cities in Argentina, Brazil, Ecuador, Bolivia, Peru and Paraguay is also quite safe. Venezuela isn't so dangerous regarding crime, but has become an absolute shithole with famine and medicine scarcity decimating the population.
Only Colombia is really, truly ravaged by internal war, drug trafficking and corruption. But it looks like Switzerland when compared to El Salvador, Honduras or many parts of Mexico.

Awesome thank you for uploading on my 23rd birthday no less 🎂🎈🎉
I guess you can't JUDGE a book by its cover.
........
Is Gabe ever coming back from getting those cigarettes?
VeronicasTouch he left the show... sooooo no.
@@zixise did he really?
cioda yeah she’s gone through a lot since she left actually, as you can tell by my using females pronouns
@@zixise Are Bennett and Gabe (I dont know what she goes by now, clearly) still friends? Or is this a repeat of what happened with the completionist.
cioda I think they’re still cordial, but they haven’t shared anything’s the all. I don’t think it’s worth getting too worried about it’s been over a year and if they had bad blood it’s probably settled by now
There was an ad for Audi that came up while I was watching this video, not that I really like the ads but the comedic timing of it was perfect.
13:30 Now I can't unhear Droopy saying "shake it baby, daddy likes it."
FINALLY! I've been secretly waiting for you to review Riding Bean for years! Literally grew up on it. Super excited for the next review Sage. I know you'll do me proud.
Will you release top 20 giant robots again if your still bringing out old videos, I missed that one
Can't wait to Ride with Bean.
From the time when anime MC's actually had a functioning pair of genitalia!
I'm more familiar with flicking beans.
I am in the comment section of darkness to say this video of darkness was great.
20:22 You have no idea how long I've waited for you to review Riding Bean. Even after 25 years, I still have the VHS.
The Japanese word for crab is 'kani', which sounds like the Japanese word for money 'kani'.
Krabby Money
Crab money, crab money, taste like crab, accepted legal tender in twelve countries.
Suddenly Mr. Krab's M.O. doesnt seem that far out
Cypher
That explains why the rich guy in kill la kill turned into a golden crab
Close. The word for money is okane. But that is, indeed, still punnable, especially since there are many ways you could phrase a sentence with crab in it that would have you say "o kini."
"What's a salaryman doing in the jungle?"
Black Lagoon?
Is it weird I got a Audi ad after sage talk about Audi’s?
Yes! I've been waiting for Riding Bean forever. Love that movie.
Hey, the Material Plane may be a fragment of the infinite vast of the cosmos...but a guy's gotta eat, the suit's not cheap and spirit warding material are damn expensive.
Review the Berserk movie trilogy please!
KeatonKing your going to have to wait a few years and I mean a few as in 9
He's already reviewed a Berserk anime adaptation. I doubt there's much more he could say that wouldn't just retread old roads.
4:30 Okay, sharing pajamas? That's adorable. I don't care what you think; it was a nice touch.
Can't wait for Riding Bean, Sage. I've been waiting for you to review that one for a long time. PS I would love to see Suave review Debutante Detective Corps
Y am I just noting how hyped ur intro is 🔥🔥
"I may just be a small town supernatural ghost defense attorney but even I can tell you that somebody tried to pull a fast one on my googly eyed plaintiff here."
Oh man when you said "Zorbrak" for the first time I damn near passed out laughing.
17:26 Ok, this seems similar to that scene in Kill la Kill with the students at the Kyoto school during the raid trip. I’m guessing this is a Shinto thing? While I am a Religious Studies major, my knowledge of Shinto is a bit limited. Can anyone explain?
Why does the Court of Darkness present themselves like the Power Rangers? Also, MST3K, nice.
I thought he was gonna use a Power Rangers reference. But MST3K was better.
I remember seeing this on cable once! It was probably on the IFC around 1999-2001. It was so out of left field that I couldn't comprehend what the hell was going on.
Rock and Sock Connection throwback..
Never seen this anime but loved your review.
3:33 did I just watch Professor X beat up starlord with a keyboard?
Awesome
Review La Blue girl next.
Suave does the filthy and lewd
Jamal Davis No... Not La Blue Girl! That's Suave's stuff!
Tommy Deonauth's Archives. That's the idea.
Leroy Smith. I know that....its just been soooooo loooooooonnnng.
If that happens it would probably be a con exclusive video. There are so many scenes where the characters are naked or have sex that censoring it would be pointless. It's the reason why Sage has only shown his Bible Black video during cons.
Used to see that a long time ago. True story though it was only sub I think and it was on IFC (Independent Film Channel) and it was a Tim Mr when the channel was good no commercials. No really I saw this
That song. That song at 7:34/7:35. What song IS that? I keep hearing it but I've NO idea where it's from, where IS it from?
One of the best in a while, this is some Mad Bull 34 level shit
hmmm, not sure if it was a thing in the States, but how about reviewing Gasaraki? Had some really rad people from the Mecha department.
PS: Thank you for all the awesome reviews and the puns and sketches. You always make me laugh! XD
Keep going!
Where did you get that shirt?
Thank you for the Clue reference. Underrated movie, that one.
Have you ever thought about doing a Slice of Life month? Like Bartender, Binbō Shimai Monogatari, Blue Spring Ride, and Tamayura: Hitotose . I'd like to see your thoughts on those kinds of anime.
"Crabs .. My God"
A deadly crab weapon.
I know i'm seriously late to the party here Sage but for what it's worth, was so sorry to hear about the fire ( I cant lie my biggest fear was that the show would stop ) but seriously hope all is well and u can keep doin what u do. I've watched every episode of Anime Abandon at least twice or more, love the show and the best part is u seem to improve with each new episode, sorry to ramble and u prolly wont even see this but I wanted to let you know you are appreciated. peace out bro
4:18 pacha meme from emperor’s new groove says that joke is on point and perfect.
I was wondering when you'd review the Riding Bean!
next month is riding bean!? hell yeah! i backed the kickstarter that got it releases on blu-ray!
I think I could help. I’m an expert in “bird law”
I know everything in bird culture as related to "dick moves".
I preferred the subtitles version and thought it was interesting. The music during his change into the Judge was amazing.
Is Discotek Media ever going to release the _JoJo_ OVAs on Blu-Ray? I'd pick those up on day one!
This was a really fun episode. I can't believe I've never heard of Judge before, but having Bennett the Sage discuss it seems to be the best way to experience it.
I tried looking up the English voice cast, but I found something far more dark and interesting: This comes from the same company as Guardian of Darkness (Takegami), which I've been wanting to see for a long time.
Have you done a video or research on Guardian of Darkness?
4:44 Remember that episode of Batman: The Animated Series where Eric Cartman from South Park shows up? This anime is that.
Hell yeah can't wait til next episode.
So... this is the Japanese version of DC Comics The Spectre
I am SO excited for Riding Bean holy SHIT that is my anime *RIGHT THERE* right there!
Have you seen the subtitles version? It's a completely different experience
2:02 Danny, what you doin so far from Brian and-or Arin ?
Oki, I'm confused. I'm watching this over and over again, and I'm not seeing the answer. Who is the main character in this anime? It's like a long-winded animated way to show different departments, but then.... for what?
Serena Colvin The Judicial System of the Afterlife.
hello darkness my old friend
Riding Bean! I actually backed blu ray release of that got it earlier this year.
"THE MANLIEST ANIME" I believe that would be either Fist of the North Star or Riki-Oh
Will we be seeing another Gab or Engineer episode soon? I think we need the whole team to close out the new year.
God, I recognize so many of the voice actors in this thing. I don't know if that's something to be proud of or not.
@BennettTheSage can you please do a video for "Wolf's Rain"....
Can anyone identify the movie being shown at 3:35 of this video, please?
Good video. Even got this message. Even in spirit world, the cost for a lawyer is a bomb.
Oh, Riding Bean. Looking forward for that one :)
dude that shirt!! greatest tag team of all time
Was that a "Clue" reference? AWESOME!!
Oh Bean, you have become the poster Anime for Synthwave videos!
Wow, I'm the first comment on an Anime Abandon video! Better make this count...
You should totally review The Qwaser of Stigmata
Ghostwriter no u weren’t I am
The one where they power up with the awesome power of breast milk? That's well past the cut off date.
Way passed his cutoff date, try something further back.
There's also the fact that he only reviews stuff that's dubbed - even if his cutoff date wasn't an issue, QoS doesn't have a dub. And quite frankly, if he was going to make another exception to his rule about only reviewing dubs, I'd much rather it be something like Millenium Actress than QoS.
Roark, Millennium Actress *IS* dubbed into English.
You should watch the crying Freeman
Zero 2o1o followed by Sanctuary (same guys that did Crying Freeman)
Ow that voice for the judge of darkness x.x
Oh fuck yes, Riding Bean! Holy shit, that was one of the first OVAs I ever saw. Got me into Gunsmith Cats. It's completely bonkers.
Big-eyed Businessman would still look jarring even if he was in Eon Flux.
Can someone please tell me where the clip of 6:50 came from? Thanks.
You don't talk about it.
I know this is a long shot, but could you review Angel's egg?
Whats the name of the song that plays at the beginning of your anime abandon videos? It sounds so familiar!
Ultra by KMFDM.
So what's that anime at 0:25? I need to check it out for...reasons

The man known as "Zorbrak"
"... of Darkness" dank meme
