4:43 just wanna clarify things around here a bit as a g1 Transformers nerd, I'd definitely call it American-Japanese rather than just Japanese, that and the cartoon was release 1984. In the early 80s, the toys/designs were originally made by takara (notably also designed by Shoji Kawamori, creator of Macross), as was the rights, but they were under the name "Diaclone/Diakron" and "Micro Change". These toys were still transforming robots that became cars, trucks, bases, etc back then, but they were traditional mecha with human pilots/drivers. Then Hasbro teamed up with Takara to release these brands to the west under the name "Transformers", in which toys that were initially from Diaclone or Micro Change were redesigned and rebranded to be part of the Transformers brand. Coming off of their successful "three-pronged strategy" they used for GI Joe (sell toys with comics by Marvel, a cartoon show by Sunbow, and general direct toy adverts), Hasbro decided to did the same thing for Transformers, so first Marvel Comics was in charge of releasing a comic series for it. The first writer's draft was scrapped, but a few of his names for the Transformers stuck, including Optimus Prime's (and probably a few other details but cant be sure about those). After that guy got taken off the project, In Nov-Dec 1983, editor-in-chief Jim Shooter wrote up the famous 8 page treatment in which the completely inorganic planet Cybertron was home to a several-million year old race of advanced, autonomous and sapient transforming robots called the Transformers, who were engaged in a civil war between the heroic Autobots and evil Decepticons, later crash landing on Earth and waking up millions of years later in present day. From this treatment, Shooter handed the project to writer Bob Budiansky, who continued to develop the story. Budiansky would create the bios for all the first characters a few days after Shooter handed him the project, and from then on he would outline the Transformers' "Tech Specs"; brief descriptions of each of the characters' personalities and abilities. He used his first Tech Specs to write and then release the Transformers comics in September of 1984, and continued to write both the comics, and the characters' Tech Specs until 1989. The toys themselves were ofc designed by Takara, but Hasbro contracted designer Wayne Molinare to translate and re-design the packaging for US release. He abridged Budiansky's Tech Specs to put on the packaging, and ofc he also designed the Autobot and Decepticon logos. Again though it was Takara who designed the toys, but it was Marvel that wrote the story. So even though the Transformers were fully sentient robots and not mechs that required drivers, the first toys still had seats in them where the drivers would be, even though they were no longer a part of the lore (at the time at least). The toys came on American stores shelves in April 1984. Sunbow Productions had been co-producing content with Marvel Productions, and Transformers was no exception. The crew for the cartoon used Shooter's treatment and Budiansky's tech specs, and ofc Molinare's logos were used to write and develop the miniseries that would premiere the Transformers cartoon. The writing and production was done by Sunbow and Marvel so that includes script writing, storyboarding, voice acting, music, sfx, etc, while just the animation was done by Toei. You can even see a pretty good representation of the cartoons' dual origins and production process through the storyboards alone, with "Marvel Productions" printed on the top, the drawings of the storyboards themselves were done by Americans, and captions right under them written in English, but across them are notes written in Japanese in preparation of the storyboards to be turned into animation. And as I said, the cartoon released in September 1984, the whole first season came out the same year. Transformers is definitely a toyline first, both chronologically and in terms of significance to the franchise, and it'd literally be nothing without its designs, but the story and characters are still very important to it, and that part was handled by Americans, which greatly helped sell the toys anyway, and also gave way to several important Transformers media based on the original American writing from the 80s. Hopefully that wasn't too obtuse an explanation, more importantly hope it helped whoever read it lol. also Sailor Moon came out in 1991/92.
You can't do that. Because we're gonna believe that's too far fetched, watch the video, and then come back to the comments and be like "huh. I gess it wasn't a joke". So as a tldr, it's a bit useless considering the ridiculousness of the statement and show
@@Nymphonomicon I'm sorry, but it's literally what happened to me. I read it before watching the video, was like "that's nonsense, I'm sure it's something else", watched it, and was like "huh, guess it was pretty accurate after all" No harm meant, it's just... I don't know, it was ridiculous in context, much more out of it. Found it extremely funny though, but only after I knew what was up. It wasn't my intention to counterspell you like that, sorry
My favorite(most hated) Toei Dragon Ball Z Fillers were when they added Vegeta telling a little story as he is dying about how Freiza abused him and that he always knew Freiza destroyed Planet Vegeta(even though canonically Freiza never mistreated Vegeta and Vegeta only learned about Freiza's involvement with his planets demise from Dodoria earlier in the arc, and in the same story, they showed King Vegeta being temporarily more powerful than Full Power Freiza and Super Saiyan Goku by not only hand-waving away a whole planet and its two moons with his hand and 0% of his power, but tanking the explosions with ease. And of course, the Buu saga filler where Yamcha was stronger than Super Perfect Cell, Dabura and Post Cell Games Super Saiyan 2 Gohan.
@@AruReviews I would say it’s 7-8 out of 10 but I would personally give them an 8. Although you have to keep in mind that besides GGG, they are made for kids.
Tip, use the pop-out window (or picture-in-picture) function of the anime player. This way, when interacting with the video, you don't trigger any new ads. ✌
i just realised right before the 9minute mark was the ost from that one marvel game or was it from professor layton? my mind just went **neuron activation** on that lmao

I’ve only seen part of the franchise, but Da Garn and GaoGaiGar are very good, and I’ve heard good things about Might Gaine and J-Decker.
How good? 8/10 good?

I can't agree more about colouring of old animes. This is so much better than the polished shit we have nowadays
10:35 That's not the SMP model kit. That's one of the older toys from way back.
A year-old video caught the algorithm's attention now.
This should have been recommended to me a year ago. So good!
