Detroit Metal City is an anime you're definitely missing out on. Starring Johannes Krauser II, DMC is a death metal band with a lead singer who just wants to be a pop singer. So obviously hilarity ensues.

Thanks for watching our ridiculous video on DMC. If you guys really enjoy it, maybe we'll cover the entire manga down the line. We've got more videos coming just down the pipeline, so we'll be back real soon!
This was an anime I didn't expect, but I will check out. Thank you. Also, the Trigun videos are great too 🧑🎤
That's not how you advertise. Tell people that Opera GX can use Chrome extensions & doesn't use nearly as much RAM in the background.
When are you going to do a video on the series Saber Marionette J and J to X? There are only a handful of people that know about this anime, and it deserves way more recognition.
@@chellastation This is at odds with Japanese black metal that has many subgenres and that many artists evolved without going J-pop. Depeche Mode 80s dark gothic synthpop is entirely different. And this movie is at odds with black metal in general where black metal musicians like Ulver evolved into non-black metal like electronic/ambient/avantgarde!
Many Japanese black metal bands are not in any way like Detroit Metal City and incorporate many different styles like many black metal bands do. This anime/movie shows the stereotypical black metal elitist/purist type!
Devil May Cry and Detroit Metal City sharing an acronym is both poetic and ironic
You know this a strong representation of how the music business really is. A young musical hopeful with dreams of wanting to bring people with their songs, gets into the industry only for the industry to change everything about them because that's what sells.
Chill dude, nah 90s until now if you believe NO ONE KNOWS. Then they are morons
You know you can't both ways.
1. I dont need money, it's art😂
2. THEN BITCH ABOUT MONEY
I've been performing for a living for 10 years now as a musician. It's not the industry. It's the thing with every kid that gets into an art form of some sort. As an artist, you have a choice to make concerning where you want to take it. If you only want to do what makes you happy, you have no future career in any type of art form. To turn your passion into a career means to turn your art into a business, and in the end it's consumers that dictate what sells, not the industry. Kids go into these things not realizing that, and then blame the industry or the business when their 100% authentic self doesn't pay the bills. The fact of the matter is that in real life, nobody gets to be their 100% authentic selves all of the time, and generally the people who are crushed by this realization are the ones that never took anything seriously enough to try and self-educate before making huge decisions.
That being said, hundreds of thousands of artists and musicians are perfectly happy doing exactly what it is they want to do. They're just realistic enough to understand that they need to have real careers to back up those passions.
And there's really no easy answer to what somebody should do, because upon taking responsibility for your passion as a business it becomes work. If you decide to pursue your art form as a career, you have to accept that you will never again be as passionate about it as you are now. For some people, that's a worthy tradeoff. Others would prefer to keep their passion intact by not making it a job. The fact of the matter is that this isn't something that developed when record labels did, this is human society and has been as long as we've had the arts.
@@VoxWalker I enjoyed your point of view, seeing as I will forever be an outsider when it comes to the music industry, through hundreds of autobiography and documentaries I’ve always been curious when that aspect of hobby turn career was the point of joy lost to musicians. Good convo I’d love to hear more about your experience in the music industry
except here its about a niche metal genre lol, he'd probably get more famous making that popy style song he wanted, if he didnt suck at it at least
DMC is one of the rarest, extremely rarest anime that I rewatch. It's great for all the reasons you mentioned, and the live action is truly worth watching and not cringe.
❤ yes but where can I get the movie? Sub or dub or both 😢
@@sergiovega4690 torrents 👍
I'm in the situation where I can't pay for any streaming service that would get me access to it. I want to pay, I have the money, but my money can't cross borders (unless I emigrate). So for me it's only Torrents. Highly recommend, thanks to the community, would use again etc.
@@sergiovega4690 kissasians, good site 👌
it has been one of my top 5 since watching it years ago, recently showed it to my sibling and they loved it too, damn anime is too hilarious.
I watched the live action before anime or read the manga
"The Pig of Capitalism is the moral soul of this anime." I nearly pissed myself laughing when I heard that. I was already loving this video, but that just made my day great.
Dude is a chad.
I think the best part of DMC is that Negishi is still technically singing the songs he wrote, just with different lyrics and arrangement. The anime staff outdid themselves in that music shop scene.😂
I remember this being picked for our college anime club as a troll, and we ended up loving just how ridiculous and over the top it was. Probably helped it was around the same time as peak Metalocalypse. At an anime con after it came out there was a panel and we went around as a group chanting Go To DMC. And wholeheartedly agree with the live action movie. Its great and the music is even better.
I think I like 'Satsugai' from the anime op more than the live action, but the live action was great
only real metal bands can fuck up the periodic table literally
YOUR TABLE MISSED A PERIOD? YOU SHOULD ONLY PUT YOUR DIPHOSPHATES IN THE ARSENIC YOU FOOL! IT'S A METALLOID NOT A METAL.
Yes. a PP joke... This is literally all I gained from 6 years of Chemistry classes.
The live action version of DMC is so funny. It was shown to us in a film class and I will never forget just how unexpected it was. Casting was perfect. The whole ordeal with the younger brother was just one laugh after another. Great movie honestly
In a film class? I went to the wrong goddamned film class lol
Wait, did they do a live action of this? I really need to watch it.
It's very rare to see a live action adaptation of anime/manga actually good
man, i have to show this to my music class lol
The live action is amazing
Now imagine DMC and Dethklok on tour together.
Detroit Metal City is an amazing series. The music is actually legit too. There are episodes that left me absolutely GASPING for air from laughing.
I watched DMC while in college. I remember just sitting on my bed with my laptop binging it and laughing my ass off all the way through. Around half way through my roommate told me they're going to hang out at a friend's room and I knew I just couldn't stop until I finish this series. By far the funniest thing I've ever watched (and I was probably happened to very be in the mood for it).
Makes me long for the return of Metalocalype ... DETHKLOK RULES!!
I hear they're touring with Babymetal next year
@@weaselwolf Damn, closest show to me is in Philadelphia. Might still try to go though ...
So glad you covered DMC!! I am the only person I know that actually loved the anime, and I have never read the manga but the live action was hilarious! Overall it was super fun to reminisce about it! Thanks!!
I loved the anime. You should try to track down the manga, it was great. I need to find a legit copy sometime. I originally consumed it on some fan scanlation site back in the day
This series made me laugh harder than any other anime out there. The episode where he went back home to his family actually had me in tears.
My Korean friend got me into this show years ago. It blew me away. I actually got a posable figure of Krouser at this little stall at a night market in Taiwan. It was meant to be.
DMC is still one of my favorite shows out there , and the manga is AMAZING !!!! It has such a wholesome story with an amazing ending that calls back the first chapter of the manga , the story of DMC is the story negeshi accepting who he really is (The pig of capitalism is the real deal like the video said ! ) , its an amazing message and I fucking love it , the live action managed to get that message out too but the manga did by the far the best job ! That is the core of DMC.....and I gotta say , the kinds of bands and people DMC goes up against after the anime are SO GOOD ! I love Jack but he was just the jobber in the manga , for those who read my favorite battles were against Dezumu and the original DMC.
I don't think Jack is a jobber. More like he want to retire and doing his favorite jazz music so he isn't in mind in the game much when Krauser defeat him. Funny that, Jack might be like Negishi in his younger day (want to be a jazz musician but became a notorious rock star instead) and Neshishi might connect with him if he didn't barged him Jack's dressing room when he was "hyping up" for rock battle.
For me the OG DMC was more sad one. Krauser Sr./Genki aside of spring tongue trick he's a real deal and supposed to be a living legend of Japanese metal like Maximum the Hormone. But somehow he was treat as a joke after he was exposed and defeated and no one give a shite on his comeback. More importantly, I feel sorry for the guitarist who follow him since he is the on Krauser/Negishi accept the skill.
DMC is anime Dethklok and I love them. It's hilarious.
SATSUGAI SATSUGAI SEYO
I'm so glad you covered this series. It's one of my all time favorites and the best live action adaptation of any anime/manga! Glad to see it getting the love and recognition of deserves.
I found this anime at around the same time Metalocalypse was fairly new. I loved Metalocalypse and it's music, but I felt DMC was much more clever. DMC captured the spirit of how I felt, as a fan of metal, more closely. It's fun, kind of a safe emotional heatsink for all kinds of dark thoughts/impulses/feelings, but not taken seriously. I'm glad this show is out there, and now I know I should probably seek out the manga. Thanks. 😊
My brother and I once found this by complete chance on a DVD a friend burned Bleach episodes on (yes, back when burning was still a thing lol). We had no idea what it was, played the first episode to check it out, and laughed the hardest we ever had at a show before. It was the best comedy I'd ever seen, and to this day I still regard it highly. And it says a lot when my bro and I still talk about it and laugh, well over a decade later.
Edit: also Mad Monster is based, fight me.
To this day this is one of the funniest shows I’ve ever watched, I’m hella hype y’all did a video on this one!!
In life action movie adaption Gene Simmons played as Jack Ill Dark. One of the best adaptions to date which I truly recommend to watch.
I remember being introduced to this anime when I started College, then I was the one who started spreading the amazing Movie. It's still crazy that Viz brought both over and gave them DVD Releases.
The secret to playing with your teeth is actually having smashed your two front teeth off in childhood, necessitating a root canal(procedure which removes/kills the nerves in your teeth) that allows you to use the two false front teeth as totally painless replacements for guitar picks
source: experience
Anybody who says bass is not best in metal doesn't know who wrote Black Sabbath's songs, does not know who Lemmy is, and is in sore need of listening to Bell Witch and OM.
Problem is most metal bands have a mediocre rhythm guitar player on bass who is more interested in spending money on weed than bass strings and does not really learn the songs.
Great bassists exist in the genre, sure but bass is a very neglected instrument mostly.
One of the best comedy anime, so underrated! The theme song is so good 😂 👿
Satsugai! Satsugai seiyo! KILL! KILL! KILL!
As a guitar player and anime dork, I've been asked to recommend some music-based anime to friends. I don't have the heart to recommend this one to them even though I love the shit out of it.
Do it haha
If they can't accept it they're not your fucking friends, my man.
I remember finding this back in 2009. This anime is wild!
One of my favorites! Glad you're covering it!
One of my all time favs. So happy ya'll are covering it. 😊😊😊
"Why Your Mom Thought Music Was The Devil" AND SHE WAS CORRECT.
The fact that its acronym is the same as another franchise we all know and love brings some laughs and motivation to my soul.
I love how the band members are the complete opposite from their stage personas
DMC is my guilty pleasure, all mediums of it. My friends and I still yell out 'NICE-U TAMBOURINE" when possible. Krauser is indeed my god.
A show like this could never be made in America without record producers & singers throwing lawsuits at it. KISS's publisher would sue over the makeup, Run DMC (Devastating Mic Controller) would sue over the acronym, Ozzy Osborne would sue over the bat-eating, etc. I'm not saying the lawsuits would be successful, but they would be attempted.
Gene actually had a cameo in the live action movie. Lol
@@LadyJaggerX3 He did sue King Diamond over makeup in the 80's though.
A show like this was made in America, it's called Metalocalypse.
i don't think so but metallica sues over anything
@@jonathangrafton4016 no no, it was made on the internet. Big difference
This seems like "Anime Metalocalypse"! It's about a metalband Dethklok that is the biggest band out there and "the 2nd largest economy in the world, right behind Belgium". If you want metal comedy: check that one out as well, right after this video ofc ;)
Hey man, just wanna thank you for the content you make. You can tell there is a lot of love and thought in your work, and that you stay very vulnerable and honest and make great connections from shows back to your own life that I think help others relate and look at themes a little deeper. You guys are a massive inspiration.
Really enjoyed how you tied the ad to DMC. This is the complete opposite of what I thought you'd say considering the title. I'm really glad to find others who enjoyed this particular anime. Thanks for the recommendation. I'll definitely watch the live action! Can't wait to binge more of your content!
You sold me, I’m going to give this series a try and read the manga, thank you Mike 👍🏾
I think this essay is missing something, though. A part of Negishi IS Krauser, somewhere, deep down. He wrote satsugai. I don't think you can just chalk it up to him being desperate to join a band, any band. The fact that he reverts to his stage persona sometimes, especially when drunk and/or in despair, solidifies that. Let's try to imagine Negishi, shortly after going to college IN TOKYO for MUSIC and being unable to find any work or any audience. Full of despair and probably resorted to drinking his problems away once or twice. Then he wrote this song, and I'll try to add an alternate interpretation:
"I am a terrorist from hell
Yesterday I raped my mom
Tomorrow I'll carve up my dad
I am a terrorist straight out of hell"
I took my parents hard earned money and squandered it. My dreams have put them in debt and I feel like ish about it. I have basically taken advantage of their love for me.
"I don't have a mom or dad
That's because I killed them
I don't have friends or lovers
That's because I killed them...
...Dye your memories with blood"
I have distanced myself from friends and family because I don't want them to know how much of a failure I am. It hurts so much I want to erase that past self, so filled with optimism, by any means necessary.
"I don't have siblings
That's because I killed them
I don't have a God or Buddha
That's because I killed them"
(Very similar to the last part, but also) I am angry at god for letting all my hard work result in nothing.
// This is just a thought, but I don't think it's a controversial one. Krauser is the darkest part of Negishi, and it's one he wants to shun. But it's the one that seems to connect with the most people.
Wow, I barely thought about that. I just thought Negishi was desperate to make music under manager's threats. Make sense that he was angry when Kintama Girls plagiarism his song with thier own version. It was his hard work and his though worry about his family in Inukai.
His is not kill his family in literal sense. He kill his mother's kindness with hopeless dream to be trendy pop musician. He kill his father's trust with stubborn pride to keep staying Tokyo. And he kill his brother's innocent with his song and turned him into metalhead. Even his sister resent him for abandon the responsibility for chasing his dream.
For Negishi, SATSUGAI is his despair because the one he want to kill most is himself. It was irony that it was Krauser that bring his family back together as a sign of his atonement to not taking a responsibility.
Great Nathan Explosion impression my dude
I was actually thinking about this show a few days ago, what a crazy coincidence
The fulgore theme playing at the end lol, nice touch.
You guys are the punk rock stars of anime analysis videos!
Thank you so much for your videos
The extro has more real feeling to it than any other vid I have seen so far on all of YT.
I feel you.
Stay Brutal.
I will go watch this. Thanks for the recommendation Mike 👍🏾
This was the first video of yours, and I'm a fan.
TWISTED SISTER THE ANIME!
(we're not gonna take it!)
Thanks for sharing this! I saw the live action before I ever saw the anime or read the manga... and it made me laugh so so very hard, while having some surprising points. Not to mention that I found the music catchy enough that it was stuck for days in my head once I found the OST!
Love youuuu Bonsai Pop!! ❤
you guys do great work keep it up
I now understand where the face paint for aggrestuko comes from
1:06 Bro, no! You can't get away editing like that!🤣
Man I remember reading this manga this was the most extreme WTF thing I've ever seen and I loved it it was so over the top
I immediately vibed with this video when Mike pointed out that bass was in fact the best instrument.
Metalocalypse: "Why don't you make like a bass and be inaudible."
Truly loved the message Dudes inspirational
I like how you have Ys 8 soundtrack in low key in there.
Yes!!!!!! It’s beeen years !!!!! I remember this from back in the day!
Trust me, getting out of your rooms and meeting other human beings is not all it is cracked up to be.
I remember seeing this at a convention when I was a teenager and talking about it with my friends abs they all just thought I was talking about metalocalypse
WOO Bonsai Pop gives DMC the attention it deserves!! Such a fantastic IP
Oh boy this show is pure fire.
First episodes opening beign a part of a joke was super cool
Thank you for showcasing this underrated manga, anime and Live action film.
Best ad I have seen (and heard) in ages. All sponsorships should be handled like this.
Also, I really want to watch this show now.
Best music show 🎉
That goes to Beck Mongolian Chop Squad for me but this is also awesome af
The ad was totally metal.
Good video and you really make the ad. part interestingm I like it
Thanks for the vid
Giving metalocalypse lol i wanna watch now
thinking the same thing definitely checking out
I've loved this anime since it dropped inadvertently in the days of "Metalacalypse". Mike...please hear me. I must hear your voice on the warped fandom of "Serial Experiments: Lain". Please!
a lot of good memories when i watch that show, good job!
Thank you
Badass! Definitely need to find this
In the topic of metal I saw First Fragment live a couple nights ago. So good, they released my favorite album of last year. Highly recommend it if you havent listened to it
😊 you're so lucky I love that bad but I don't think they'll ever come to my part of the world
It is the duty of every VINESAUCE / VARGSKELETHOR fan to make sure Joel (who sings Swedish metal) is made aware that this series exists.
If I hadn't listened to these game OSTs on the daily, I would have thought that the background music was from the anime. Glad to know that others appreciate the Falcom sound team and Ys music!
I learnt the main riff of the opening song. DMC goes so hard
Hello! Thanks for the video. I love the show and live action. The animation is funnier to me. But also it has amazing music video scene Mad Monster which is unexpectedly greatly animated and freakingly badass. Love every second of the show. I've watched live action recently thinking that it wouldn't be as good as the anime, but suprizingly it becomes one of my favorite adaptation. It has many flaws, some scenes are weird, the acting is exaggerated but it is so sincere, touching and inspiring. The scene where Nagishi in Krauser outfit runs back to the stage to save the band he left makes me emotional. I loved his supportive mother that quesses who Krauser is, never blames Nagishi for his career and songs (especially, the one he wrote about killing parents) and calls singer "Krau-chan". So cute. However, I don't like the manager. There is a scene when she visits Nagishi sexually harasses him in front of his love. It was too much.
Also, I think Nagishi is quite tragic character. He loves the music, he genually loves the pop-songs and tries his best to create one. But nobody cares about it. Even though i am not pop music fan and really enjoy death metal I really disappointed that some people think DMC is about superiority alternative music over pop songs and what Nagishi sings openly and TRULY CARES is a crap. That's actually the most offensive when someone devalues your dream and passion. Krauser comes out as an act of revenge and response on unfairness and cruelty of the world. It is despair. Sincere as love songs that Nagishi performs. And it is very sad.
Love the show and the movie, I should really read the manga some time. Glad you guys covered it!
i appreciate your art
I have been meaning to watch this show and this video is a good reminder
I really enjoyed this anime, I remember first hearing about it through a friend and when I finally watched it, I loved it completely.
I gave this a go years ago because it seemed interesting & the episodes are about 10 minutes each, since I've binged it a few times. It's a nice & well rounded short story that's amusing & grotesque. Live action film is good too.
Krauser dioxide got me 🤣
My progress with DMC was in order: live action, anime, manga. I still like to listen every music from the live action to anime, and it's perfect entertainment.
Loved this anime
This is probably the best recommendation video I've seen. You had me at he humps the Tokyo tower
One of the most underrated anime out there
My friends have accepted me as a heavy metal and doujinshi fan, and that's actually a relief to know that😌
When Aggretsuko meets Mr. Pickles, or Skwisgar Skwigelf visits Japan lmao
I always wanted a Detroit Metal City / Metalocalypse Crossover
THAT'S how you do a sponsored segment!
OMG either I forgot how funny DMC was or your commentary is hillarious. Probably both LOL
This was such a weird anime to get into for newcomers and veterans alike.
I had so much fun watching this.
My favorite series of my college hood. It's taught me how to embrace your dark self instead of rejecting it while trying to use your impulse in a relatively functional way.
Negishi was trying too hard to be a hipster, but everyone except his GF only considered him to be a trendy otaku at best. His true calling is when the unleashed his inner Mr. Hyde and become guitar hero metal monster and his struggle to find a way to live it is something truly inspire me.
I also think Krauser and Negishi would be great Yakuza side characters. Imagine a substory that Ichiban meets Krauser and trying to help his love life and got him as one of the Poundmate or Ichiban Holding employees.
I'm glad I own this... I now want to open it up and watch it.
Also, lots of great life tropes and advice in this review.
