"We overshot Jupiter and are now entering orbit around Uranus." Man, this film set itself up perfectly with that line and you didn't take advantage of it. I am disappoint.
I think you and I saw the same anime block you're talking about, Sage. Spring of 1997 on the Sci-Fi channel: Odin, Robot Carnival, Roujin Z, Tenchi Muyo in Love, Project A-Ko, Akira, Lily C.A.T., Dominion Tank Police and a few others. A new one every Saturday morning, packaged in block running for a few months. Good memories right there.
Laser-powered spacecraft actually ARE feasible and have been proposed; they operate on micro-pressure from light, just like solar sails would. Are they efficient? Fast? Not so much. Also, they would NOT look like sailing ships of old. Also, those fighters are totally Gunstars from The Last Starfighter.
You lucky kids, today . . .and yesterday. I had no cable growing up, on top of which there was no anime on there even when I WAS a kid. Nope, only had the good fortune of an open minded, locally owned, rental place with those classic titles on the shelves. And Robot Carnival was so niche, I had to find it at the library. And all these were on VHS, mind. Uphill!!
Bet you anything that the Mcguffin guy was featured working on his little trinket for an extended 4-minute long sequence in the 2-hour cut. Just like that whole scene in The Star Wars Holiday Special!!
The J-Metal song featured in this movie is "Gotta Fight" by Loudness. The song does seem out of place in this film, I will admit, but the song on it's own is really good. Same case in point for the power balled, "Odin" also by Loudness. They're actually very much worth while great songs for any fan of '80s rock & metal. Both songs clearly have a lot of passion put into them & you can tell the band truly love what they do. The same band also contributed 2 songs to the 2010 OVA, Mazinkaiser SKL, "The Eternal Soldier" & "The Danger Zone".
So how does the ship go to hyperdrive anyway. Its not self propelled. Do they call back to earth and tell them to turn the pushy laser up to 11? And then how do they slow down to stop at their target?
The "big spaceship panning shots" thing works in Ulysses 31. Except they were meant to convey an atmosphere of eerie loneliness as opposed to... Nothing, here.
My introduction to anime was through the Toonami slot on Cartoon Network. Tenchi Muyo, DBZ and Gundam Wing, good stuff when its all new and unfamiliar. It opened a door into a huge, huge genre of other movies, series' and animation.
To explain the beginning, it's Naval tradition for the first crew of a new ship ( called plank owners) to run aboard and assume their stations with great fanfare.
Finally! i finally know what this anime is called. In high school i stayed up late watching Space some times. Its how I found Venus Wars. I also saw the first 15 or so minutes of this. then i fell asleep.
just once i wanna see one of these things where the captain lets the cocksure pilot on because they fucked up and she wants the ship to have a laughingstock
To be fair, wouldn't you want your laser sailing ships to look like 18th century galleons? It *IS* the only immediate thing you can do to improve on "powered by lasers."
No wait- I take back what I said. This anime doesn't SEEM like Once upon The Future, it IS it. The music, the costumes, the ships (kinda) and that damn telepath!
Started off with starblazers and go lion voltron back in the early 80's. Then really got back into it in the late 90's. Any way, watch this movie then Be Forever Yamato and notice the re-use of character designs in both movies. Also how many other sci-fi anime movies of the time period had a rock soundtrack? I can think of 1 other, and it's the one where they killed Optimus Prime. Don't be haters on this movie, the ship looks nice and the animation is very well done.
Pretty sure SciFi showed Vampire Hunter D at least once when I was like 9 or 10. The scene of the werewolf killing the horse is where I tapped out, I believe it terrified me. Recognizing that scene years later as an adult and realizing it traumatized my child self badly enough to sear those context-less images into mind so clearly was kinda fun and surreal.
My first intro to anime was Dragon Ball and Sailor Moon back when I was 6 or 7. A few years later I caught Akira and bubble gum crisis on a high numbered channel and really fell in love with anime.
Sci-Fi channel? Pfft. My first exposure to anime was watching Harmony Gold's Dragon Ball dub on some god-forsaken network channel with my Dad back in '89 when I was four. Of course, I didn't understand the concept of anime until I caught the subtitled version of MD Geist on some cable channel at a friend's house. Yeah. MD fucking Geist was what revealed the truth about anime to me. Not only were these cartoons from Japan, but they could have gore and tits. It didn't take long for me to figure out that DBZ and Sailor Moon were Japanese, and start wondering what I was missing out on. After that, it's a pretty familiar lineup. Tenchi Muyo, Digimon, even more DBZ, and the show that would eternally cement my obsession with mecha: Gundam Wing. Splash in a few bootlegged VHS's of the subtitled DBZ films, subtitled and eventually dubbed Evangelion (another lifelong obsession), subtitled Utena, and, of all fucking things, the dubbed version of Jungle de Ikou. My formative years as an otaku got weird in a few places.
+AkuTenshiiZero pfft, md giest. I remember when American cartoons still had balls. wizards, fire and ice, and heavy metal 2000 were defiantly adults only, secret of NIMH probably counted as pg-13 back when pg-13 still meant no one under 13, hell even the cartoons intended for kids had a couple scenes that were guaranteed to cause a few nightmares because trauma builds character. unfortunately Disney, and wb started to buy up all the smaller animations studios in the mid 90's and after that artistic creativity started to suffer. But you still had the occasional gem like batman and gargoyles.
For me it was my cousin letting me watch subbed vhs tapes when I was in elementary school (the mid 90s). Then it was "SyFy". Toonami and AS just made it easier to access.
I know I am really late to make a comment on this video, but I think ‘six days from earth’ means if there were use a standard space flight engine (whatever standard is for them) because I’m pretty sure it’s said that this monstrosity ship they have is the fastest they’ve made yet because of the ‘laser sails’ bullshit. I don’t remember it is a forgettable movie a saw about a hundred times. Also on a video from like 2013 I doubt anyone cares. (I’m just shotgunning through the huge backlog Bennett has.
My first exposure to anime was in 2006 on Cartoon Network, where I witnessed Pokémon: Battle Frontier draw to a close. It also got me into loving Pokémon.
10 ปีที่แล้ว
lol is that all ive been watching anime since i was 4 im now 18 this year
This movie - or rather, Sage's summary of this movie - reminds me of a movie from the 50s (or 60s) called Twelve to the Moon. Its plot was just as conveniently random as Odin's
What movie is the music 3:39 from and no I don’t mean the clip which I know is to boldly flee I mean the actual movie. I can’t remember what movie it’s from
Actually my first exposure to anime was through basic cable, never had the sci-if channel until mid to late 90s. I can't recall which channel but in my mid/late grade school years there be episodes of Sailor Moon, Dragonball and Samurai Pizza Cats every morning before school. One channel (Hoosier TV 53) was showing the more mature anime Wicked City, Fist of the North Star, Crying Freeman, etc.
the first anime i ever watched was sailor moon being a straight 27 year old man you can imagine how hard that is to admit to but it was and from there its all a blur of speed lines and yelling
Syfy (or as it was once spelled "Sci-fi") used to air anime in the 90s? Wow I missed that. I was one of the ones who was introduced during the early Toonami days.
My first anime was Code Geass and all I did was search something random of TH-cam back in July 2011 (even watching it on Bandai Entertainment's TH-cam channel)...
"We're not on a yacht, we're on a ship. A spaceship." "There are nights when the winds of the Etherium, with their promise of flight and fancy, make one's spirits soar!" See, I can make references too. And *NOBODY* will know where they're from.
There is a few of those animes that aired in the 90s I wish I could remember the names to. Like one about a boy who's stuck in a dream where he tries to save a girl, but his friends keep getting in the way and the girl gets killed then the dream restarts or changes. Also there was one where a girl saved they day by bribing a bunch of hulking space pirates with womens panties
i really envy sage i was stupid enough to watch the two hour version and god damn i watch around 1400 anime and this is by far the most boring anime i ever watched i struggle to think of even a single reason why a person should watch it as i could give a very long list of anime that deserve to be watched way more then this
It's from the Bill and Ted soundtrack: it's from the scene when the historical figures are running wild in the mall (in particular, Beethoven jamming on the keyboards in the music store)
"We overshot Jupiter and are now entering orbit around Uranus."
Man, this film set itself up perfectly with that line and you didn't take advantage of it. I am disappoint.
I think you and I saw the same anime block you're talking about, Sage.
Spring of 1997 on the Sci-Fi channel: Odin, Robot Carnival, Roujin Z, Tenchi Muyo in Love, Project A-Ko, Akira, Lily C.A.T., Dominion Tank Police and a few others. A new one every Saturday morning, packaged in block running for a few months.
Good memories right there.
Ok but it was this very review that introduced me to the Japanese hair metal band "LOUDNESS" and for that I am eternally grateful. They are SO great.
Laser-powered spacecraft actually ARE feasible and have been proposed; they operate on micro-pressure from light, just like solar sails would. Are they efficient? Fast? Not so much. Also, they would NOT look like sailing ships of old.
Also, those fighters are totally Gunstars from The Last Starfighter.
"How did you know?"
"Psychic!"
LOL
You lucky kids, today . . .and yesterday. I had no cable growing up, on top of which there was no anime on there even when I WAS a kid.

19:59 that's not the martian man hunter, that's freaking handsom Squidward!
Is the captain voiced by Dr. Light from Mega Man 8? It sounds like he's about to tell Megamun to fight Doctah Wahwee.
Loudness in my Anime Abandon? I must be in heaven.
his magazine turned super saiyan around the 18 minute mark
So how does the ship go to hyperdrive anyway. Its not self propelled. Do they call back to earth and tell them to turn the pushy laser up to 11? And then how do they slow down to stop at their target?
Does anyone remember TechTV back in the day when they were showing Betterman, Silent Mobius and some other show?
The "big spaceship panning shots" thing works in Ulysses 31. Except they were meant to convey an atmosphere of eerie loneliness as opposed to... Nothing, here.
My introduction to anime was through the Toonami slot on Cartoon Network. Tenchi Muyo, DBZ and Gundam Wing, good stuff when its all new and unfamiliar. It opened a door into a huge, huge genre of other movies, series' and animation.
My first exposure to anime was Voltron and Dragon Warrior on my local channel. I'm a tad older than Bennett :-P
To explain the beginning, it's Naval tradition for the first crew of a new ship ( called plank owners) to run aboard and assume their stations with great fanfare.
Finally! i finally know what this anime is called. In high school i stayed up late watching Space some times. Its how I found Venus Wars. I also saw the first 15 or so minutes of this. then i fell asleep.
That moment when you realise you have literally been watching anime longer then Sage...
0:58 FUCK YEAH 90s nostalgia!!!! I watched Venus Wars there. 6:05 PSYCHIC GRANDMA made me laugh
Futuristic ships powered by light that are designed after galleons...
Never heard of that before!
The martian resembles the engineers from Prometheus. It's uncanny.
Thanks Sage, the song at the end of your video makes me wanna listen to Wrestlecrap Radio the Podcast
just once i wanna see one of these things where the captain lets the cocksure pilot on because they fucked up and she wants the ship to have a laughingstock
when i was 15 MST3K was still making new episodes :D
To be fair, wouldn't you want your laser sailing ships to look like 18th century galleons? It *IS* the only immediate thing you can do to improve on "powered by lasers."
Jokes on you, the third Startrek DID actually do that.
No wait- I take back what I said. This anime doesn't SEEM like Once upon The Future, it IS it. The music, the costumes, the ships (kinda) and that damn telepath!
THAT AIN'T A GALLEON! THAT"S A FRIGATE!
Started off with starblazers and go lion voltron back in the early 80's. Then really got back into it in the late 90's.
Any way, watch this movie then Be Forever Yamato and notice the re-use of character designs in both movies. Also how many other sci-fi anime movies of the time period had a rock soundtrack? I can think of 1 other, and it's the one where they killed Optimus Prime.
Don't be haters on this movie, the ship looks nice and the animation is very well done.
Actually Solar sailer and the related technology of photonic laser thrusters are real technology being considered for interstellar transport
I believe he means the shape and design of the ship which is ripped straight out of the 1700's. But yeah solar sails are dope.
The better name for this should be Space Mutiny: The Anime.
Im surised there wasnt a single space battleship yamato reference in there...
4:48 and now Beastie Boys are in the Kelvinverse
Was that Loudness? They are metal legends, but they usually sing in Japanese.
Yes
Solar sails propelled by lasers is actually a discussed method of long distance space travel.
Pretty sure SciFi showed Vampire Hunter D at least once when I was like 9 or 10. The scene of the werewolf killing the horse is where I tapped out, I believe it terrified me. Recognizing that scene years later as an adult and realizing it traumatized my child self badly enough to sear those context-less images into mind so clearly was kinda fun and surreal.
this anime is so boring, I don't even remember if I've watched this review.
4:43
... Talk about being prophetic
And you know what? It *was* kind of awesome.
Oh yes ! They might have Seen it !
My first intro to anime was Dragon Ball and Sailor Moon back when I was 6 or 7. A few years later I caught Akira and bubble gum crisis on a high numbered channel and really fell in love with anime.
My introduction to Anime, outside of Voltron and Speed Racer, was Hollywood Video.
I thought Witch Hunter Robin was alright..
most people do
sage clearly isnt most people
true
It does have a good concept. But I can understand why he would feel that way.
does anyone know the music playing when he brought up star treck: next gen???

lol is that all ive been watching anime since i was 4 im now 18 this year
mine was, unfortunately, Digimon Tamers, followed by Inuyasha followed by NGE.
Meanwhile on the good ship "F**k You Science..."
I really want a Yes album called Laser Sailingships now.
This movie - or rather, Sage's summary of this movie - reminds me of a movie from the 50s (or 60s) called Twelve to the Moon.
Its plot was just as conveniently random as Odin's
1:47 Oh please I still haven't seen MST3K and I'm a full grown adult.
22:04 What? *two seconds later you reply* "What?!" I guess great minds think alike.
oh my god, Highlights and Kenny G, i can't😂
The martian looks like a realistic Kif Kroker.
No, No, if this where a movie about red shirts someone would have died in a gloriously cheese-tastic maner by minuet 4 or so
By Odin's Beard was this dull.
3;39, c'mon man laser sails and solar sails are a totally plausible way to move spececraft allbeit the acceleration would be slow.
I think the Star Trek Beyond people watched this
21:55 Something I amuse myself with.... Oh boy.
Yeah the way he phrased it, does sound perverted. Lol
Fucking love Anime Abandon , keep'm coming sage !
My first exposure to anime was Ninja Scroll. I was 11.
I miss Robot carnival
Anyone know what that track Bennett used with the Star Trek scene is?
What movie is the music 3:39 from and no I don’t mean the clip which I know is to boldly flee I mean the actual movie. I can’t remember what movie it’s from
Galaxy Quest?
12:49 HA!! I have that issue, it's actually an engaging read about reviving extinct species. Lol.
In Canada, it was called the Space Channel. I don't remember seeing this, tho. Maybe I was asleep.
I hate to be "that guy". But would someone give the Names of the songs at 2:44 and 4:44. My sanity would greatly appreciate it.
Thank god for shazam. Songbird and Play with me by Extreme respectivly.
Actually my first exposure to anime was through basic cable, never had the sci-if channel until mid to late 90s.

One channel (Hoosier TV 53) was showing the more mature anime Wicked City, Fist of the North Star, Crying Freeman, etc.
so, they should've been at Jupiter in 3 hours instead of 6 days?
My first exposure to anime was shows like Pokemon and Yu-Gi-Oh! on Cartoon Network.
the first anime i ever watched was sailor moon being a straight 27 year old man you can imagine how hard that is to admit to but it was and from there its all a blur of speed lines and yelling
My first anime is probably Dragon Ball or Spirited Away
Syfy (or as it was once spelled "Sci-fi") used to air anime in the 90s? Wow I missed that. I was one of the ones who was introduced during the early Toonami days.
I audibly gasped when I heard you say Witch Hunter Robin was boring. How dare you, sir? How dare!?!
Hmm, so what is the potato's least favorite day?
Friday.
Yup sci fi first anime that stuck in my brain forever was tank police
My first anime was Code Geass and all I did was search something random of TH-cam back in July 2011 (even watching it on Bandai Entertainment's TH-cam channel)...
"We're not on a yacht, we're on a ship. A spaceship."
"There are nights when the winds of the Etherium, with their promise of flight and fancy, make one's spirits soar!"
See, I can make references too. And *NOBODY* will know where they're from.
6:50-7:10 do u mean sword art online?
There is a few of those animes that aired in the 90s I wish I could remember the names to. Like one about a boy who's stuck in a dream where he tries to save a girl, but his friends keep getting in the way and the girl gets killed then the dream restarts or changes. Also there was one where a girl saved they day by bribing a bunch of hulking space pirates with womens panties
21:00 quarian /geth situation!! I See you there, Sage :P
Just realised that the Starlight spews GunStar clones as fighters.
"Really, Commander? Probing Uranus."
First anime was I think Sailor Moon and things like Samurai Pizza Cats. After getting SyFy saw Iria, Armitage, and Tenchi Muyo among others.
What's the name of the song at 4:00? D:
My Introduction to Anime was with a Morning Show in the Nineties aired on Channel 10 In Australia Called Cheese TV
OH GOD YES. I still remember the punch to the gut that was Jade and Ryan leaving. :c
I always thought the wide collar captain look in anime
I remember Saturday Anime on the Sci-fi channel and this anime. I too, never completed it. You think Space-sail ships would be exciting.
i really envy sage i was stupid enough to watch the two hour version and god damn i watch around 1400 anime and this is by far the most boring anime i ever watched i struggle to think of even a single reason why a person should watch it as i could give a very long list of anime that deserve to be watched way more then this
What is the name of the song he plays during the Abrams star trek clip? Anyone?
It's from the Bill and Ted soundtrack: it's from the scene when the historical figures are running wild in the mall (in particular, Beethoven jamming on the keyboards in the music store)
Play with me by a band called Extreme
slight sanity slippage there Sage???
anybody the name ofthe song that came up when he lifted up the highlights magazine?
Songbird by Kennie G
Roz Mosis You are the best person i nthe world
This episode is actually a little old, if you want the current reviews check him out a that guy with the glasses.com.
Ugh I remembered watching this on Scifi when I was 8. Even then I slept through the damn movie! o_e
I am very interested in that copy of Highlights Magazine you were reading. Did they really fly kites?
I got exposed to Doctor Who thanks to the Sci-Fi channel.
6:04 Looks like a bad camcorder let's play.
actually solar sails (laser sails) are an actual thing purposed by scientists. Js
