I figure it out your backward words ?
That was the wildest ad segway ever.
Of course go for a punch isnt real. Bruh you reaching more than a mr.fantastic and monkey Luffy comic. I guess you need content huh?
@@Ostrava_Of_Boletaria😢😊
Is the guy in your channel profile Leo from Manhunt 2?
Go For A Punch did help showcase to the lost media community to not believe every claim of supposed lost media.
lol seems like an extremely basic lesson
It showcased you could tell some of them that it says gullible on the ceiling and they'd look up so fast theyd get whiplash
@@implord4197like with the unknown songs. Lol.
Yeah like the evil farming game shows some people's memories are not to be trusted and people will easily get false memories. This one shows some people are just legitimately bad faith and will create hoaxes.
Man, but the novelty of it just fascinated everyone
I mean, it's kinda good this story is not actually real and people just wanted to be real because they created an idea in their heads that it must've been real.
I've said it before, but the fact that it could reasonably be abbreviated as 'Go FAP' is what pushes me into thinking that the anon was 100% just making it up.
I didn't even think of that XD
💀😂
LMFAO very astute
I noticed that too lol
Lmao.
Maybe the real Saki Sanobachi were the friends we made along the way.
True. That's what I had though today
real
Well yeah, basically.
Take my like and leave.
It’s not the destination but the journey lookin ass
the very mention of OP crying themself to sleep cuz they ‘didn’t know anymore’ is hilarious
most fake part of the story
If you watch something like that as a kid I imagine it would hit harder.
@@JiggerJoe69 imo the worst part is "omg it's from le deep web!!!" bruh what? as if the 2011 surface web didn't have much worse shit on it lmao
Also the "I got an almost photographic memory so ask me about any trivial details"
And then he had hyper realistic blood coming from his eyes before he began levitating
Pretty sure that Go for a Punch is fake. The fact that it can be abbreviated to 'Go-FAP', the OP 'crying himself to sleep after watching it' and 'having a photographic memory' like a creepypasta and the level of detail in the description (oddly detailed, and extremely vague at the same time) makes that apparent to me. Plus, like another person in the comments said, the premise sounds just like the movie 247°F. My guess is that OP just copied the loose idea of that movie and turned it into a fake lost anime OVA for the lols.
However, Ero-Guro OVAs were popular in the 80s. It's very possible that something similar is floating around in the wild out there, whether it's one of the anime listed in this video or something else completely.
The creepy part is that what OP described sounds tame for that genre. Redo of Healer is a real manga and anime with more explicit content in it, and that's relatively well known. Same goes for Fist of the North Star and Violence Jack, if you are talking about 80s mangas and OVAs. Just imagine what an underground anime can get away with...
I didn't even notice the acronym.
Lol, I never realized "Go For a Punch!" can abbreviate to "Go-FAP"
Don't forget that this hyper obscure anime from the 80s that is located in early 2010s deep web has subtitles but just so conveniently doesn't have credits that could reveal studio or crew since "it was ripped". A cheap rip has subtitles. Okay. It's a good creepypasta, but that is all it is. Like Mr Mix or 1999
Yeah. The whole idea of this being some horrifying thing that could only be found in the darkest recesses of the internet is pretty farfetched.
"group of naked girls or maybe guys" one would think you'd be able to remember that kinda detail lol
I 100% believe this one is fake. It has the vibe of "The Grifter" creepypasta that was around /X/ back in the day.
Yup. Some people just don't want to admit they took the bait and wasted time searching for it.
I thought The Grifter was just a bit everyone went along with. I mean it's quite literally called "The Grifter" lol.
Surprisingly enough, there is in fact a lost animated movie made for a cash grab called "blood punch of the lady" made alongside other [although low quality] gory japanese films
I'm sure there are animes similar to it, but you're right, Saki is definitely just made up for attention.
The Grifter is real, I've seen it, but don't search for it
Always remember the 4chan motto, posted in /b/ as a masthead - "The stories and information posted here are artistic works of fiction and falsehood.
Only a fool would take anything posted here as fact."
Imagine believing a 4channer without hard evidence.
exactly lol
The best part about that motto is that normies everywhere point out that green texts are fake as if it’s some kind of new revelation they’re exposing the channers with
@@thesalvager3020 Unless it's wholesome, like the anon who found his crippled dream girl. Then it's always real. 😆
Well it is likely fake, but in the other hand there are such lost media that were though to be creepy pasta and not taken seriously, but we’re miraculously found. Like clock man for example, who turned out to be just a chill wizard cartoon.
“Go For A Punch” sounds like a creepypasta and it’s 100% never going to be found.
I wonder if the characters had “Hyper realistic bloodshot eyes”
@@diddykong2143it wouldn’t be a creepy pasta without the hyper realistic eyes.
Remember EFG? Gonna be the same
Pretty sure this isn’t real. The premise is very similar to the horror movie 247 F (2011), about a bunch of friends getting trapped in a sauna that escalates in similar ways (someone gets their head smashed in for instance), so I think the OP just copied the broad strokes of that movie and presented it as a lost 80s anime OVA because thats scarier. A lot of the specific details about the anime itself ring as unrealistic to me or trying too hard. That said when I first read this post as a teen it scared the shit out of me lmao
If OP was being genuine, they probably mixed up memories of the original Saw movie and a plethora of old eroguro anime.
I always thought that it was based on the game Corpse Party, it’s a rpg maker horror game where 9 high schoolers (well, technically 7) are trapped in a cursed school and can all die graphically. Both the premises are /really/ similar.
Eroguro?
@@azazellonErotic guro. Basically a gore genre that's make to please psychos
Erotic Grotesque. Basically a category of works that's what's on the tin, such as Shintato Kago and Suehiro Maruo.
The Japanese, Chinese and Korean internet is aware of the search. The consensus on the Japanese internet is that Saki does not exist mainly because an anime featuring 9 beautiful girls dying would be better remembered on the internet than Saki apparently is.
Currently we have someone claiming they saw a clip of saki as a flash file on a Chinese flash game aggregation site from 2006. I don't know when or if the search will ever end honestly, videos like this always bring new people in.
Personally I want to believe in Saki but I don't think it exists in the form we think it is. For example the Evil Farming game turned out to be half a dream and half a joke on a podcast. Most likely OP fell asleep whislt watching some guro AMV collection.
Wish I was Japanese 😢

@@CS-om3kj yup oof
Bruh it's fake period
@@NitwitsWorldweeb
Guro isn't always ero. There's different kinds of guro, the most popular being the horror subgenre. Ero Guro is just the most infamous online lol.
Yeah, I think people are just too quick to assume comparisons to obscure stuff like Shoujo Tsubaki. Though, the girls getting naked may lend support to it being ero-oriented.
@@thenew4559 Oh I don't doubt if it existed that it would be Ero for sure.
Exactlyy. Not to mention so many people associate guro as a term for gore when guro is a term relating to grotesque (which yes may include gore but is not always gore related). It gets frustrating as someone who actually has an interest in guro art to see people make a lot of assumptions about an art movement they know next to nothing about.
(Below i go on a rant. So Tldr; the fact that a lot of people on the internet misunderstand guro as an art movement is annoying)
So many people will hear about shoujo tsubaki or worse mai-chan's daily life and think all art involving guro is exactly like those infamous works. But in all actuality most original guro works were commentary on certain hypocrisies with japan's culture/society. Especially with conservative/modesty culture in public all while committing heinous acts/obsessions behind closed doors. A lot of what guro art originally was a criticism of hypocrisy in japan's culture while simultaneously being a protest against censorship. Hell back then technically LGBT stories were considered part of the guro label becuase it was considered as such a taboo from socity's standpoint. And of course as the years went on, a lot of creators used the label as an excuse to showcase some inexcusably nasty stuff and thus drowning out the artists making controversial art that also had meaning/purpose. For example, Uziga Waita (creator of mai chan's daily life) is notorious for creating some awful ero guro that really only serve a purpose to be as fucked up as possible. Which tbh comes across as cheap shock value more than art with purpose, but thats of course my opinion.
@@N30KID I understand completely man.
@@N30KID could you reccomend some original stuff? Thatd be super cool to check out. I was into illustrated and animated "guro" and horror generally, and was also a big weeb in the early 2010s and yet somehow never heard about what guro actually refers to or its origins before. Thanks for the mini art history lesson
I remember the first time this was talked about in blameitonjorge's channel
Same here.
Same
Same
best channel for lost or disturbing media
Yooo, was that the first time? I remember this case from a shiiiii ton time ago like back in the pandemic on a spanish channel... And Even back then the news that the random guy on 4chan invented it all was revealed :/ a bummer i was really into the case i even considered go look for old anime vhs on My place to see if i got lucky 😆😆😅 but well...
What made all of this even less plausible is that the genre of this supposed anime as niche as it is still has one of the most obsessive and dedicated fans, there's no way something like this could have been created, posted online and yet no evidence was ever found. Obscure gore films, disturbing anime, 80s anime, indie horror productions, all of these types of media have small but highly motivated and dedicated fandoms, someone must have known
I agree but the search for Saki has uncovered some rare and strange films like Lady in a Sea of Blood.
@@darkjapan It also led to the discovery of a JAV studio named Film Corps that is pretty damn sketchy.
According to some people who were familiar with the ero-guro community during the early internet era, porn manga sites would often delete such content, resulting in much of it becoming lost. I'm not sure if the same would have been the case for a guro anime, but it's possible that no site during the early internet wanted it as well, leading to it becoming lost. If it was relegated to some obscure dark web site specializing in disturbing anime, as OP claimed, then that could be reason to believe this was the case.
I think it's unlikely this ever existed, this is just a devil's advocate counterargument.
After seeing that people are turning ANYTHING into horror movies
(like Winnie the Pooh,steam boat Willie ect)
why not turn go for a punch into an actual horror anime
but yet again it just being a lost mysterious Internet story is probably enough to make it a interesting yet horrifying tale
Yeah, it could be a really interesting concept. Sounds like a character study in the same vein as that "the fall" movie. It also sounds fitting for a short indie horror game. Unfortunately if the people who do turn anything into a horror movie find it they're 100% not doing anything interesting or particularly creative with it lol. Fortunately, maybe someone with a cool art style and renpy could make a great visual novel, or take rpgmaker or godot and make a real game. Especially with the whole idea of denpa getting more popular recently, Jisatsu 101 has a similar element with the tinfoil lined room iirc.
@molluscumlore I'm SO happy to hear there's interest in a saki sonobashi rug rpgmaker game! Me and my brother haven't really shown this off or talked about it much online because its not finished; for the past year we've been working on a 00s rpgmaker horror adaptation of go for a punch! We have character designs, story, mechanics and an art style all prepared. my computer is broken so progress is halted rn but we really hope to get it up and running soon.
@@GloomyGames-mq7vvthis is such an awesome thing to reveal in TH-cam comments section, even more so it's just a reply 😭 we need to get you some marketing dude I would love to play that!!
@@GloomyGames-mq7vvit's interesting to hear that there's a project being worked on. wish you luck in your endeavor!
@@molluscumlore someone has already made a visual novel game based on saki sanobashi: "Go For a Punch! Saki Sanobashi" by Veratrum, on the Steam platform.
Considering the potentially not accurate title can be made into 'Go F-A-P' I highly suspect this one isn't real at all.
I always figured if this was real the name go for a punch wasn't the original name and Saki Sanobashi might have been a mistake by whoever posted not being a japanese speaker and all.
Sanobashi has no meaning but if it was actually Saki-san o-bachi then the title would make sense. Saki-san(a name and neutral honorific) o-bachi ( the O prefix adds politeness to a word and Bachi meaning a divine punishment or curse) and this would make sense for a title based on the description even if it was just the title given to the OVA by the uploader of it.
But just like the other redditors idea it probably wouldn't help regardless but imo does make the story of someone finding a video titled that more believable.
Well, I don't think it actually has meaning and is just op making up a name lol
So the real translation would essentially be "Ms. Saki's Divine Punishment :)"?
I've never heard of that possible translation. I have heard of the other one, that "Saki Sanobashi" is actually "Saki-san no Basho (Saki-san's room)", but this one seems like even more apt of a title.
@thenew4559 Yeah I thought about it when I saw someone mention that. I think it fits well even as something the uploader of the clip used and Saki-san o-bachi being a single letter off compared to 3 letters off also makes the mis remembering of the exact title more believable imo
That does make it somewhat believable
I think legends like saki sanobashi makes people forget that there are plenty of disturbing anime and manga without making things up, like junji ito manga.
Yeah, but everybody loves a good mystery.
I'm fairly certain that everybody who's into horror anime/manga has heard of Junji Ito tbh
Yeah, it's like why 99% of video game creepypastas never actually worked, horror is already a genre in video games. Likewise, there's a ton of absolutely fucked-up and scary shit you can find in even very accessible anime.
80s anime was already wild… no need to make things up
@@ElFreakinCid Speak for yourself, I loved game creepypastas
I do believe an anime like Saki Sanobashi exists. Since the concept of being trapped in a room and going insane is not that rare. The OP might be lying about the anime’s setting and it being an 80s anime, yet still kept the elements of death and insanity because he probably watched another anime. It can take place in a warehouse or a basement, and can literally be any horror anime made before the post. It can even be Higurashi or Corpse Party. And “Saki Sanobashi” probably did have end credits even though OP said it doesn’t.
What I’m trying to say is OP can alter the context by changing the descriptions.
I'd love to know just how many anime and manga are lost to time. I was looking at old Weekly Shounen Jump covers a year or so ago, and saw a character in a really interesting art style. Searching the name of the series (which was on the cover) turned up nothing and, unless someone in Japan has that issue of the magazine, I doubt anyone outside of Japan will know what it is. It makes me sad that some potentially very interesting works of art are gone forever (or are so obscure that nobody knows/cares about them).
Probably tons. I hear the lost media community over there pretty much doesn't exist.
With how big self-publishing and indie works are in Japan, there have to be a ton of one-shots printed only in very small quantities, published under single-use pseudonyms. Especially adult themed works, where overall obscurity and secrecy is the norm.
It's literally just some guy doodling something and a magazine or something picking it up and putting it on a few pages.
Do you know remember what the manga you looked for was? I'm curious now
@@someguycalledcerberus9805 Exactly. The sheer quantity of doujinshi must be borderline uncountable.
@@MoonlitSlime Weekly Shonen Jump #1943 - No. 39, 2007. Bottom left - it seems to be called Anaaki's.
It always struck me as a mix of Corpse Party, Higurashi, and that one H where they're stuck in a facility "forcing" them to do some heinous things. The hype is too high for it as it is, if it were to be found it wouldn't be enough.

This gets me in such a special way because I’ve been looking for a lost anime for nearly 2 decades now and had started convincing myself I just made it up. Only for my sister to also remember it including some details I didn’t remember. I’ve watched probably 100 episodes of old obscure anime in search of it but still haven’t found it. Go for a punch being fake makes it exponentially harder to seek out help in these kinds of searches.
I feel ya. You should share.
can you describe it?
@@sebaprime6411 I can but the entire recollection is pretty long and I’d prefer to get my sisters account. But the cliff notes are; It was a supernatural adventure story, one episode featured some cult in a volcano and one of the male characters rescuing a girl from a cage suspended above lava (I specifically recall him running up the chain and potentially wearing a dress or being the girl in the cage in disguise?) another episode had a creepy butler who turned out to be a puppet and had these creepy creaky movements and sound effects, and I believe he either had tommy guns or his fingers became machine guns ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. And the last one sticks out in my head the most because it left on a cliff hangers, there’s a woman who’s stealing people’s features and growing people in these massive flowers, there’s a scene where she’s picking and choosing “perfect facial features” and it’s almost like a sliding character customizer, ie all the eyes are on a row and she swipes between them to choose the most attractive one. When people are first infected these bulbed flowers grow from their mouths and they fall unconscious. The episode ends with that male character in the arms of the villainess unconscious as we see a flower grow from his mouth. And it’s been 2 decades and I NEED to know how this story ends! There are other details like into/ outro being either sounding like or literally being conga by Gloria Estefan. A scene where one of the female leads says something about making one of the male characters call her princess, and at the end of the episode you hear him shouting princess over and over seemingly in distress (my sister remembers the scene more clearly than I do) a girl trapped in a mirror, then later a scene of the mirror breaking (I think supposedly the curse imprisoning her was lifted?) it had a lot of surreal horror elements and a mix of comedy and very dark moments. And what’s especially difficult is figuring out where we watched it. When only had cable very briefly so most of our media was weird or obscure bootleg VHS tapes, including Pokémon, cyborg 009, and dragon ball, so there’s some uncertainty if it was a series, a collection of OVA’s or several different ova’s that kinda got mushed together in our minds because we saw them at the same time and featured similar themes and characters. At some point I intend to make a comprehensive list with my sister of every detail we can recall categorizing them by what we clearly remember and what is a bit fuzzier. But part of me has been hesitant to reach out for help as I really want the experience of finding it myself like I have for other obscure pieces of media I’ve dug up from my past. But as time goes on it feels more and more likely it’ll become lost media, it may already be lost to time and that thought bums me out :/
Sorry if this isn’t the best recollection but the memory is pretty old so it’s degraded over time, especially with how often I’ve recalled it on my search. My sister probably has a better account because she hasn’t been as obsessed with finding it as I have.
Whatever this is, it sounds like something I would enjoy.
@@NotSoMax Fascinating.
To be fair, it would've been terrifying to the OP to find out that what they'd troll-posted years ago turned out to be a genuine anime... and if you've seen some of the more "pointless" gorefest anime out there, it's not like such a premise is entirely impossible.
I honesty think this is the OP misremembering an anime that does exist, or using one of them as a base plot and adding a ton on top of it to make it sound worse than it actually is. considering the timeline it just doesn't make sense for something like that to exist. maybe if it had been a more recent animation it would be more believable, since these days people will do anything on the internet, but I don't see something like that coming from the 80s or 90s.
I agree that it might have been made up but i think fucked up shit are more relevant back then than it is today just cause modern media are heavily censored and you can't get away with the twitter mob ganging on you for being controversial
I dont know anything about anime history or anything like that but i see alot of people agreeing with you and saying that this kind of stuff wasnt around in the 80s, and then a large amount of people saying this stuff was very popular in the 80s, are both lying? I have no idea
@@eprimchad2576just look at Mermaids Scar from the early to mid 90s
I wouldn't underestimate how absolutely disturbed some of the anime OVAs that came out of the 80s and 90s were. Stuff like Urotsukidoji, Shoujo Tsubaki, Devilman: The Birth, are all more viscerally violent and gross than Saki Sanobashi supposedly was, although Saki may have them beat in terms of psychological horror.
Damn, the TH-cam monetization overlords really breathing down your neck with this one. Can't even say "goddamn".
Maid Dog
Anything controversial, cursing or not, gets deleted in the comments it seems. It's awful
I hate CorporateTube.
@@ltb1345 More like BabyTube at this point, given how hard they're trying to dumb down and kiddie-proof stuff no kid should even be watching.
I'm of the opinion that this never actually existed but it's still an interesting story nonetheless.
Sourcebrew talking about Go For A Punch? My life is complete. You have no idea how much I love your channel, dude. I hope you continue to grow. I mean it.
This means nothing but watching this video may have been my first time realizing that the premise is vaguely similar to the stretching room scene from The Haunted Mansion. May sound a bit ridiculous at first but read an excerpt of how the scene plays out:
Ghost Host: "and consider this dismaying observation: this chamber has no windows and no doors."
"Which offers you this chilling challenge: to find a way out!"
"Of course, there's always my way…"
I loved that movie as a kid, my father would always watch it with me every Halloween night.
I was obsessed with the idea of this anime when Whang first posted about it. Years later, I'm not a believer of it anymore, but it still has such strong potential to be real. Maybe Japan can get their hands on this premise and recreate it.
gotta love these video formats that got so distorted with time you can't even hope to read along the post because of all the after effect filters on top
This felt extremely realistic yet so strange when i first heard of it personally
Yeah, that's the thing, nothing about the anime itself sounds unrealistic. It just sounds like an 80s horror anime. The only unrealistic thing was OP's supposed reaction to it.
That's also why I never believed the guy who claimed to be the OP and made it as a hoax. The claims of it being 'obviously false' don't ring true. Even if the anime itself was made up, nothing about it sounds obviously false.
It's far from a particularly far-fetched idea for a guro anime. I know a little more about manga and visual novels, but there's a LOT of guro out there with lots of different setups to the point of course they found stuff that was vaguely similar lol. And guro is lost possibly even more often than porn, you just don't hear about it because most of it is both bad and extremely offputting for 99% of people. So nobody really cares.
For me, there's a light novel i read with a denpa-esque gory AU extra story that was translated in the fan translation, but the official translation of the novels didn't add it while the fan tl'er removed all their uploads to be polite. I could definitely find it in jp, but this is one that got big enough to get everything else officially translated. Most aren't as lucky. I've also been watching amelie doree for a while, and she covers a decent chunk of visual novels that involve guro, plenty equally violent as Go for a Punch was described, possibly even more (especially dasaku. or shiniyuku kimi. tho jisatsu 101 sounds like more similar vibes)
@@molluscumlore The description of "Go for a Punch" feels very much like the kind of things that were released in the VHS OVA boom. When releasing directly to home video was an exciting new idea and they could push the envelope farther than not only television, but even beyond what theatrical releases could get away with. Nothing described in that post compares to stuff like, for example, Apocalypse Zero, where 5 minutes in a giant mostly naked woman in bondage gear squeezes a high school girl in her hand until her innards shoot out of her mouth and land on her boyfriend. It was a time when they just did gore for gore's sake, and I've always felt the description of this supposed 'extreme dark web anime' seemed tame compared to actual stuff I've seen from the era.
Any post online with that much detail on such small, insignificant details yet can't even remember the name of the damn show, shouldn't be taken seriously. Man was able to remember every tiny detail yet can't remember the only important details
My theory is that while the post is a hoax, it's not full fruit of the OP's minds, it's very plausible that the OP came up with it by drawing inspiration from pieces of media he consumed, especially considering that stuff with similar premise and characters has been found.
咲さんの場所 (saki sans place) would be read as saki san no bashO, not bashi.
fake or real, Saki Sanobashi holds a special place in my heart as what got me into lost media
It seems like a thing you see in your dreams
That would keep me up for the rest of the night paranoid
I feel like this one isn't real. Even if it was permanently lost, I think that there would've been more information uncovered to at least confirm it existed if it was a legit thing. Still a great story.
"I saw it on the dark web" is an immediate red flag if you've watched the deep web series Someordinarygamers used to post.
At this point, if it did exist it was some indie anime OVA that was barely distributed at all... That made it onto the dark corners internet once or twice but otherwise completely lost to time.
But more likely, it just never did exist.
Even if it’s not real (and it’s probably not) Saki Sanobashi is one of my favorite “lost medias.” The concept of a room you cannot get out of is so simple yet so evocative, and it has really inspired me. I hope to one day write a story with a similar concept.
*cough cough* Skinamarink
These "delete your data on the internet" sponsor ship is the same stuff like "buy land on the moon or become a lord on Scotland"
Yep. Scam shit. Completely wild it's even legal to advertise it.
If something, this project has shown us that even if this turns/turned out to be a huge hoax, the community goes into that length to turn it into something real. We are not talking about a few seconds like Squidwards transformation or Hitogata but a fully detailed 30 minutes long anime episode. It shows us that how great the concept is and we can see it with our own eyes. Thus the "lost media" turns into a reality.
i don't think it does exist either. but i also believe the one on reddit claiming to be op on that thread of 4chan to be fake aswell.
not taking for account the "i found it on the deep web" story wich is a cliche in many creepypastas, i do believe the one who made the post was maybe misremembering details about something op watched that had a similar premise. such an example is the op from the clockman wich he misremembered several details about it, the only difference was that clockman was found because other people besides the op watched that short and helped into getting a more detailed picture of how the short was like, while with saki sanobashi it's the complete opposite
I love this mystery such a gory animation combined with a good hunt can’t get more lost media than that
Been awhile since I heard about this topic
cant believe i was so invested in this that i actually got chills when the screenshot supposedly proving saki sanobashi real came up lmao
Yay ! 3000th video about this subject with absolutely no new information
I'm 99% sure this is fake, there are old weird OVAs out there but apparently the title isn't even real Japanese and I don't buy that a 4Chaner would be disturbed over something animated. Also nobody including Japanese people seem to remember this.
can we please stop with this "4channers are so heckin messed up and dont get disturbed by anything!!1!" cliche. its so cringey.
what, do they only allow certified sociopaths on /x/ now?
don't get me wrong you're right on believing the story is bullshit, but "a 4Chaner wouldn't be disturbed over something animated" is such a funny thing to say. like you do know half of the people on /x/ are kissless virgins trying to make tulpa girlfriends and not serial killers, right?
@@kabbablabba4073 My dude, it's 4chan.
@@kabbablabba4073 but its good point tho, nothing in the original post seems to crazy just gore anime normal stuff the only thing that aludes to it being really disturbing is the op saying "it had great detail" "i cried myself too sleep" and that is the cliche of creepypastas were the narrator cant convey the spookiness organically so he just says "THE BLOOD WAS REALISTIC" "I COULD SLEEP THAT NIGHT" just to convince you that it was scary instead of painting a good picture of the story.
@@morirzarpadoi doubt its real too but it actually does sound pretty disturbing. if i saw something like that i would probably be pretty creeped out.
glad you talked about this topic my friend
This is obviously fake, but it reminds me of that rumor where some artist caused a shitstorm in the early 2000's after making a project mocking Miyazaki.
That shit is probably fake too, but it would be hilarious if true.
“Why Are you locked in the bathroom?”
“You talking to me?”
“Maybe you should try getting a job?”
“Okay, where?”
“Majestic 12.”
“Maybe you should join Majestic 12. In a body bag.”
“I have some good news for both of you.”
“Okay?”
“And?”
“I have contamination and mutants in my brain.”
“Just another parasite.”
I was wondering when this would get it's own video, so I'm glad this is out.
This is the only video on this topic I’ve seen that actually delves into how the image of that white-haired girl entered the search. Major props on your thoroughness sourcebrew
I was hoping you would covering this lost media. Thanks man 🙏🏼
I know it probably makes me sound like a crazy conspiracy theorist, but I still believe somehow, somewhere out there Go For A Punch (or whatever it may truly be called) is real.
It's not real. The original post is a cringe attempt at making a spooky urban legend.
Considering how the hunt for the Evil Farming game started because someone fell asleep during a Vargskelethor stream, there's a chance the OP was watching Saw while high.
as an observer of the search for Saki Sanobashi / Go For A Punch, we made it real. even if we never find the real anime, we made it real with fanart, games and more.
First an Internet Historian reference in your iceberg and now a Turkey Tom reference, you're startin' to worry me man
I still found it cool that people actually found some obscure stuff just because of this search even though there is no real goal
Let’s be honest, if this was an actual anime, there’d almost certainly be a fanbase for it on tiktok composed of annoying 13-15 year olds
I think that it may be real, but gaijin OP remembered everything wrong. If there were no credits it could very well have been a doujin. I hope it exists, I'm very much obsessed with the whole Saki story.
The self-censorship on youtube is getting completely out of control. Why even cover topics like this if you have to censor "goddamn"
I agree
I'm still trying to figure out what the hell "o-sash-snil-al" is at 16:27

Feast of the Fallen Angels is legitimately the most sickening and fucked-up piece of animation I've ever seen. It's somehow more disturbing than the original creepypasta. Everything is entirely low budget which includes some repeated sех shots and extremely graphic scenes of violence. The music is also dark and depressing. I have no idea who this was made for, since it's too weird even by hеntаi standards. If you really want to watch this just be advised that it's a deeply uncomfortable ride and you're likely to hate it.
Orange Video House produced it. It is a subsidiary of the producers/distributors of the later installments of the Guinea Pig series and a bunch of shockumentaries. I guess they had cornered live action sleaze, real sleaze and wanted to branch out into animated sleaze.
Is it even legal to watch?
I could've sworn someone told me they were watching this anime just a few years ago,I had 0 idea this was lost media,but it's also strange that I can now not find that person that told me about this anime,now I'm creeped out
Great vid minor complaint for me is how zoomed in the text is, i didnt realize it but i always read ahead in vids with text on screen and it drove me crazy not being able to.
The thing that captivates me about the concept and part of the reason it feels so special to me is the mundane, claustrophobic setting combined with the supernatural horror of the situation.
They're spirited away to a bathroom that's pretty much normal besides the lack of a door or windows. Not a scary dark abandoned school with ghosts out to get them or an empty town that won't let them leave. It paints a very vivid picture in my mind and makes me want to see it especially.
I feel like this probably doesn't exist, there's just so much lack of information on it there's little chance. If OP really did see something like this I'd be willing to bet that there's some severe misremembering going on, and that it might have even been a much shorter project conducted by one or a few animators potentially in flash or something of the sort. It's wild what age and memory can do to your perception of a piece of artwork.
For example there was a very popular fan animation of a book series called warriors that was done in a style clearly attempting to replicate anime styles, at the time when I was around 8-12(I don't remember exactly how young I was) I genuinely was unable to tell the difference. Don't get me wrong of course, the project is still very commemorable even to this day for the amount of effort required to make something like it, however when put against professional, multiple team animation the difference is obvious.
I wouldn't doubt the possibility of stumbling upon indie animation, even graphic stuff, during that time either. I mean I stumbled across happy tree friends around the same time as the warriors animation on youtube itself. That kind of stuff was just everywhere at the time.
I still have doubts its real at all but this would be the most believable scenario to me.
Every two years or so I find a video updating on what's going on with Go For a Punch. A truly captivating idea that I sometimes think about at random times. Whether it is real or not, I will eternally place it as one of the most interesting pieces of lost media ever.
Lmao you've thought about a totally made up idiot story multiple times for years.
it always feels so weird to see so much censorship of words in videos with such dark subjects, like who is it protecting? the kids who shouldn't rly be watching this in the first place?
I know you're just doing what you need to do to appease the youtube overlords, but man does it feel stupid.
The world has so much disturbing and lost media, i can totally understand why people think its real. It wouldnt be out of the ordinary for something like that to exist but the most disturbing part is that people get off to stuff like that.
Love this channel
I agree with you last thoughts on the end. Reality is way more disturbing than creepypasta and horror stories.
Saki and the mysteries surrounding it have always had such a particular eerie vibe that's difficult to describe but is so captivating at the same time. It manages to seem like something that /could/ be real, while being just vague enough to make it hard to find. As much as I want it to be real, it probably isn't (though I am personally very skeptical that the reddit poster is actually the original Saki OP) - but it makes a very good urban legend imo.
Edit: ok sourcebrew basically said exactly what I was thinking towards the end of the video lmao
You can find literally dozens of guro anime worse than it. The OP writes about CRYING HIMSELF TO SLEEP after watching a low quality 80s rip of one girl drowing another. Are you like 12? I hope so because otherwise the comment this is "possibly real" and "eerie" is mega-embarrassing.
@@thegatorhator6822 bro what 😭 I literally said in the original comment it's probably not real. idk why you're being so aggressive lmao.
I'm currently making my own manga adaptation of Saki Sanobashi. I'll hopefully be able to complete it in the next few months, making comics is an extremely laborious process.
do you have a twitter or a pixiv or like any kind of social media I can follow on? I really would love to be updated about this
@@neonpuff1091yep, my account name is “Zazabeos” on both. Thanks for your interest.
There actually is an anime about schoolgirls trapped together and starting to succumb to madness, but it's in a comedy: Nichijou. In one ep the girls get stuck in an elevator and don't know if they will ever get out. They play word games and a sort of funny answer during the game makes one start laughing and its contagious. Cute, but if you watch closely, you notice one of them starting to cry even as they laugh near the end, revealing the laughter is partly hysteria. Kinda dark stuff, under the comedy. I wonder if this inspired this Go For a Punch thing - the same sequence taken to its extreme if they were to never escape.
I don't think Datenshi could be Saki. The original OP claimed the hime-cut girl was the one who had another girl drown her. She's not the main character like the girl in Datenshi.
not to mention the band that was named after this show, tiles painted with blood is such a good EP
The funny thing is once this story got out it became real. Yeah, I didn't have an anime like it was originally said to have, but it's a thing now. The more people know of it the more real it becomes. All stories are made the only difference is how they're made
I have this vague yet weirdly distinct memory of a piece of sci-fi artwork I _think_ I saw once a very long time ago. I start thinking about it whenever the topic of lost media comes up and it drives me nuts because I've never been able to find it again. I kinda want to throw it out there just to know if anyone else has seen it, but I don't know where would be the proper place to ask.
tip of my tongue or related subreddits for identifying movies or shows you don't know how to find
2:30 they committed..... SUS?
ඞ
I always took this as fake, and a demonstration on how the mystery and imagination of the unseen can be used. Like the actual description of the anime isn’t even that horrifying but just the implication and absence of knowledge around it is doing the heavy lifting. There’s way worse stuff that’s been animated.

He slick, playing Simpsons Hit & Run menu soundtrack in the background ❤
I'm surprised people are still talking about this, I thought the internet had collectively decided "yep it's fake" and just stopped caring.
I feel bad for the guy who made this rumor, imagine making something up only for a bunch of people to say "well, actually..."
it's like seeing god but having no proof.
I remember thinking the game from my childhood was also just made up by my crazy mind but I did find it and it was called Boiling Point. And while some elements felt different some looked spot on. Hope one day we figure out that go for a punch is similar case scenarion I really hope it wasnt fake ;/
Actually in the extended cut dvd of Goncharov they have a bonus feature that plays the first episode of Go For A Punch
I’m not truly sure whether it’s real or fake. The possibility of it being real is 100% there especially if you’re familiar with 80s japanese animation culture you know they were absolutely mental at the time. The real problem is with the post originating in 4chan where you can’t really tell whether someone is taking the piss or not. What I mean by that is someone can be telling a 100% true story but they will say it in a way that you can’t be sure it’s real or not. Due to that it makes the search of possible lost media extremely frustrating. I think even after all these years it’s good to keep searching just because even if saki sanobashi isn’t found many other similar anime/movies can be found through the search. It can also aid in developing a larger lost media community in Japan. Which has LOADS I mean genuinely tons upon tons of lost media.
It is possible that it was freshly posted when dude viewed it because websites can’t kick you out of a video and restrict it or remove it while your in it but once you get off it you can’t return to it later
My mate supposedly saw "Go for a punch" while browsing the either the dark or the deep web.
violent anime/hentai always have extremely eerie feeling (compared to live-action horror) cause often because of extremely detailed or simplistic drawing style it has an already uncanny valley vibe. and then the thought that someone thinks this stuff is "fire", writes it down and then themselves animate and sound design it or, more realistic, do it in a collective (which is even more creepy) with everyone agreeing that it's worth it. especially compared to live action horror movies which have limits of showing violence (unless snuff or mondo/gore movies) while drawing it they can jusrget infinitely (un)real with it which can feel like looking into a brutal serial rapist/murderers head, with a childlike fantasy
I like how every description from the posts were either "they're nude or they're in school uniforms," with no other clue that there's any flashback or showing of them outside this "room," yet one random image of a girl in a kimono pops up and they go "yeah, that's totally it!"
I don't think it was ever real, but I also don't think that the "op" on reddit was real, either
Can we just stop and notice for a second that things got so crazy with this "search" that someone made a hoax... about himself making up the hoax? lol. Crazy.
i can’t believe it took me 4 years to realized its abbreviation is “Go FAP” 💀💀💀 albeit a hoax, Whang’s Saki vid and Mysterious Song vid are what introduced me to lost media
Personally, I think the original 4chan post describing Saki Sanobash isn't real; it just sounds too perfect as an internet hoax to be true, although I do think something similar to Saki or something that might have inspired that 4chan post does exist somewhere out there
One of my theories on what Saki is actually maybe a death game anime similar to Battle Royale. Saki looking like an 80s anime doesn't mean it's an 80s anime. Even is Saki doesn't exist we should still try and find it because we can possibly fine other media that's either lost or isn't well known and will be lost later on.
Man i love your videos❤❤
Ooooo
That mgs4 title song still hits so good after all these years
Hey so there was this TH-camr who had a whole 100+ series finding out if Sakura go for a punch was real I wonder what happened to the TH-camr he deleted his channel and I can’t find him again
He had like a red banner and had this anime channel
@@johnnydelacruz9071 dropping this comment here just in case anything comes up
What was his username? Maybe its on the Internet Archive. Or maybe he's active on somewhere else: twitch, Instagram, discord, or even tiktok.
I think you might be referring to the channel "Media Isekai", which has a 55 part series on Saki Sanobashi, but hasn't deleted it: th-cam.com/video/xu4wVYLjQsk/w-d-xo.html
I was asked by the OP of Saki Sanobashi to create an animated version of Saki Sanobashi long ago. I was to be a storyboard artist. They told us it was fake and gave us an apology but the team still agreed to create it as we thought the project would be fun. Kind of like a lost episode thing. OP eventually left the project and a few people decided to adapt it as a manga. That fell through too. Long story short: The anime was fake.
