Man... All Might is looking pretty weird in his early years.
Man you don't know the half of it.
ComiXProvider FTW_02 there’s a part of me that wants to believe the Mangaka WAS actually a fan of Psychic Force
He doesn't like to talk about it.
DETROIT SHAME!
Teens experiment with changing their physical appearance
I think it's funny that Keith, the ice guy, is voiced by James Arnold Taylor.... the same guy who'll play Johnny Test... the kid with FLAMING HAIR.
Also know as the voice of Obi-Wan Kenobi in the Clone Wars series.
(whipping sound intensifies)
clearly they watched this
coincidence doesnt exist
Me and my friends played a lot of Psychic Force 2012 back in the day on the Dreamcast (we're a bunch of fighting game nerds).
It's actually quite enjoyable. It's really different from your tradicional mainstream fighting game, thus making it stranger and hard to learn, and some characters are pretty unbalanced, but the combo system is interesting, many characters have cool looking moves, and, again, it's a different take on the genre, just like Super Smash Bros, the Cyber Connect's Naruto's games or Bushido Blade, so for someone that loves fighting games it's good to play something that tries to do the things it's own way sometimes.
I think the franchise died along many others during the dark ages of fighting games, the early 2000's. Back on the 90's the market was flooded by fighting games trying to be the next Street Fighter, and they survived thanks to the boom of the arcades, but as the arcade gaming declined so did the genre, and along of that many great franchises disappeared, not only the more unknown ones like Psychic Force... Darkstalkers, The Last Blade, Fatal Fury/Garou, Rival Schools... SNK, the company behind The King of Fighters, Fatal Fury and Art of Fighting even went bankrupt during that time, being brought by a Korean company. The genre only got it's force back on 2008 with the release of Street Fighter 4, that kinda reignited things, but never the same way as back in the golden age. Now, we only have a couple of established franchises that survived the hard times, like Tekken, Mortal Kombat, The King of Fighters and, of course, Street Fighter. The only one that stills manages to launch a bunch of different franchises and still make them somewhat relevant is Arksys and all their Guilty Gears, Blazblues, Dragon Ball Fighter Z, etc.
But yeah, the anime sucks. About that, Psychic Force is just like any other fighting game.
Keith’s hairdo was a homage to “Locke the Superman”, a pretty cool manga about an immortal psychic that’s been going on since the 60’s. It’s considered an oldie in Japan, but it’s completely unknown overseas except for Poland, where Locke was inexplicably popular during the 90’s.
And it's also very reminiscent of Big Fire from the Giant Robo OVA.
What's it about , I can't seem to find synopsis online
@@polasamierwahsh421 I first knew about Locke through the movie, which was broadcast in Latin America numerous times throughout the 90s. I learned more about the franchise by reading info from the Japanese fansites.
Basically, it’s a chronicle that starts from our immediate future to thousands of years later. Each story arc focuses on different main characters while Locke acts as an observer that either aids them from behind the scenes, or appears in the very end to beat the arc’s bad guy. Kind of like Mad Max. Locke’s exact origins and background are the biggest mystery in the story.
The manga is insanely long. But the good thing is that all the issues (along with the original drafts) have been compiled in dedicated manga websites, like ebookjapan.
As a englush speaking person,i find your comment highly offensive.
Englush - when you've downed half a bottle of gin
Does that mean you're from Englund?
I'll do you one better, are you sincerely Englund?
Englush not to be comfused with Engrish
Or Endurs Gate, I mean Game.
*whispers*
master
Low-grade amateur abridged series that end after two episodes have better dubs than this.
And many of modern fan-animations are better then stuff from 90's (to be honest sometimes better then in regular shows). Thing is that at the time there was no professional VA, with studios hiring low grade actors and family (for reminder majority of actors for long time consider VA as failed carrier, worst then working for radio). Nowadays this tendency changed as some VA's are celebrates and due to RPG's and cosplay voice imitation is way more widespread skill.
At least the audio/recording quality itself is good
Didn’t Sage review this as his first episode? Wait, no...that was Psychic WARS; damn Mangela Effect.
That Kelson Mangela and his antics
Mandela*
Unless there's a joke I'm not getting.
@@Aodhs_Ember Getting memories wrong, and Mandela's name wrong? Lol.
@@Aodhs_Ember Yeah, that was the joke *lol*
@@Aodhs_Ember Yeah, that was the joke *lol*
The game looks interesting, just by shear virtue of the verticality
Someone send a copy to Woolie. We need to get this analyzed.
Woolie may throw up playing it due to motion sickness
I had it on dreamcast and thought it was pretty fun
Woolie's face while playing Psychic Force: starts out super excited, but then turns into sheer agony after an hour.
Played it to death. It had a pretty great Dash/Dodge Mechanic, which made 'high level play' look beautifully chaotic and fast.
It's a series that deserves to return.
What's up with Ryu's face at 4:28? He looks like he gambled on a fart and lost.
And the f'ing goat eyes.
@Felman87
I laughed at this harder than I should have... xD
In defense of James Arnold Taylor, his awkward laugh in FF10 was suppsed to be just that. Tidus and Yuna force themselves to laugh, even though they don't really have anything to laugh about, just for the sake of it. Don't blame the voice actor, blame the script.
*Will Smith in a purple flourish:*
Don't hate the player, hate the game.
HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA!................. HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA!
The script did it fine, actually. You just explained why it did it fine.
@@AusSP You're right. Well, blame the sound director then, or something idk XD
there are still better ways to force laugh that doesn't sound like you have brain damage
Sage, this entire anime was dripping with homoerotic subtext from the get-go. That line was just the apex, did you SEE their positioning in that cornfield at 11:26? Scandalous.
I'm still salty that you're not reviewing Tekken: the motion picture.
Maybe next time
I know. Me 2. I was really looking forward to Sage reviewing Tekken.
CosmicG777 Especially given he makes reference to it in earlier episodes as if he did review it.
Leave it to Sage to blue ball us like that!
Sebastian Cintron probably cause spoony reviewed a long time ago, and really there isn't much else of the movie to pick at that sage could bring in a new light, hell there's really not much to the movie to begin with.
judeskater93 like how Heihachi eats a stone axe like it’s nothing?
*sees Keith David* Ahh I see you are a man of taste as well.
Weirdly, the Playstation and Dreamcast games have better stories than the anime. But really, who plays these things for the plot? The Psychic Force games are a lot of fun, with the right mindset.
Blazblue would like a word with you
Subaru Malibu The games are fun enough without the plot. The actual plot makes sense, but it’s kind of sad and depressing. The endings of both titles aren’t very optimistic.
SaitohYatate This is true. The only characters who get “happy” endings in 2012 are Gudeath and Wong, the baddest of the bad guys.
I love the games!
Englush, also known as Irish.
...Keith David yes.
*Still Growls* You forget Keith of Voltron.
*Growls still*
*Points to his own Name*
Kind of frustrated right now.
The anime still sucks.
Oh god! Keith really is voiced by James Arnold Taylor. 🤣
Doodlebug Four as much as I like James as a VA, having enjoyed his roles as Tidus, Ratchet and Wooldoor among others, I’ve determined that he can get REALLY annoying if you use him wrong.
@@cjmoore9966
He also voiced one character in the Wii Game "Mad World".
@@cjmoore9966 Like with Johnny Test? lol
WHHHHHHHHHHHYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@AWESOMEjeff654r I'll do you uno better.
¡Por quèèèèèèèèèèèèèèèèèèèèèèèèèèèèè!!!
Cloud Atlas? Linkara called, Sage. He said, "All-star Batman & Robin (ASBAR) would like to have a word with you."
That's a low blow.
The worst dub in history? Well.. excluding the practice of "V.O."... as in... Actually just playing the original voices and laying a recording of a bored voice artist over it so you can hear both and understand neither...
Excluding that "fine" tradition... The worst anime dub ever made was in my opinion the 80's dub of Cyborg 009 here in sweden. It was performed by a single guy (legends say his name was "Karsten"), all the voices, for over 50 episodes, for all the scandinavian countries. Him being a german born danish man working for a company mainly known for import of pornography... Let's just say that the result was legendary. Lines are flubbed willy nilly, languages bleed into each other, at times he struggles to keep track of which voice has which gender... And the only iron clad rule was... No retakes.
One day I'd like to make a documentary film about that production, finding and interviewing the surviving people involved. I just think it would be a wild story they could tell.
Do it! Sounds awesome!
*whispers*
Hail Hyd-, I mean, do it.
Oh god. I still own this game. I bought it from a dying Hastings. It is a POS and the only good thing about Psychic Force is it's OST. Never knew it had an anime. Dodged a bullet there.
There was actually a sequel on Sega dreamcast, it wasn't too bad,but most the endings were downers
"Wait... But if you're all alive, then surely Wim-Plo! Hey Wim!"
*flies buzzing*
"Oh...."
Keith looks like Ragna the Bloodedge from Blazblue if he has his brother Jin's ice element.
Um, guys, when you’re making Sins of the Sisters’ dub sound like the Konosuba dub, just stop.
Because the track record of anime based on fighting games has been nothing but all time classics.
Also All Might Jr.
Power Stone wasn't that bad. It was decent
this anime feels like a shitty knockoff version of toward the terra, it's even got its own soldier blue as one of the protags
I actually own Psychic Force 2012 on the Dreamcast, bought it brand new sealed for $5 back in 2009 during the global recession.
I had no idea there was an anime adaption.
So this is anime edgy unintentionally gay X-men.
That title works better
The only critique I can say on this video is actually not related to the anime, but your opinion on the video game. The game is made by Taito. They're not newbies on the videogame industry so your comment on the barrier to entry on CD based videogames is wierd to me.
1:44 Looks like an All Might wannabe to me.
So I'm not the only person who can see it!
Well since he's first... Wouldn't all might be HIS wannabe?
@@SpritemaniacJ Don't bring logic to an anime fan.
Not many people know this, but this is a prequel to MHA
@SpritemaniacJ All Might is the identical younger brother everyone likes more.
10:50 Yes, Boomer will live... remember that joke.
11:47 - 11:52 :"Wait a second, Badass named "Keith" ? What about...
11:53 : THANK YOU!!
No one and I mean no one should ever shoot somebody's dog. If you want an example of why not to shoot one John Wick is a perfect case 😏 .
Oh hey, now I finally remember the name of that game I borrowed from a friend years and years ago. Only game that ever gave a blister with button mashing. Somehow.
I randomly found this for $3 at Big Lots lol. What a random anime to sell.
14:12
"There's not even a briefcase containing one million dollars in unmarked bills.
....
Hey, it was worth a shot."
It's days like this I'm glad there isn't a direct anime adaptation of Chaos Wars.
Is that James Arnold Taylor as Iceman?
Nevermind. Confirmed later on.
this video is made for me. I played a fuck ton of ps1 games. My friend and I... we **loved** psychic force 2012. Mostly as a janky novelty. But a really fun janky novelty. Great story/arcade mode. Didn't even know there was an anime cash grab. Edit: I have located a ROM and will confront my nostalgia.
Why did the SBFP crew have to break up before ever playing this? It would've been the perfect Scrublords. Someone force a copy into Woolie's hands right now!
Oh no. They really didn't play this, did they? I prayed they did too....
*Charlie Brown sad walk*
You should review Variable Geo next time.
This anime looks a lot like some 13 year old girl's borderline yaoi fanfic, but I guess there are worse things.. Like mass producing it for sale worldwide, that's gotta sting.
So basically Keith is Magneto and psychics are mutants, and he created Genosha. How original
"Boome... Oh, I mean, Billy will live."
My god, I'm old...
2:56 Lmao it looks like Shitty Robert Garcia vs Kaguya
I actually remember Psychic Force, well the sequel anyway. The special moves are easy to pull off, only b/c I read them off of my Blockbuster video case when I rented it. Story is all over, but the powers are interesting. And believe me, hearing Zell Plus yell out for Keith in Japanese is a little bit better.
And I can't wait for the next Pokemon review! Following the footsteps, or rather retrace Suede and Linkara's review of Pokemon's movies. (not naming he who shall never be named again)
@@rezalustig6773 he already did the 1st movie, maybe he's gonna do the sequels to Pokemon 2000 or Pokemon the 3rd movie
Do "Street Fighter GENERATIONS". The Dub is definitely...memorable.
This anime was so bad that not even Bennett's review made me finish this video....
Man, i had a great time playing psychic force 2 on psx.
Still one of my favorite childhood games.
Keith is clearly just a pallet swap Cyborg 009 Joe Shimamura btw.
I can't unsee that now
timephire Keith’s suit is ripped straight from 009, while his face and hairstyle are taken from Locke the Superman. The game’s creator confessed that in a recent interview.
Trying to beat Ryan Reynolds to the Pokemon punch?
Bennett @ 9:56 min: "Sleeveless Turtle neck?"
Me @ 10:07 looking at Bennett's merch poster: "... Pot, meet Kettle."
I dare u to review Gilgamesh the anime LMAO
Why have u not done ghost stories yet? Easily the most hilarious dub of all time.
a cloud atlas reference in 2019
oof
Bennett: Psychic Force, may have been a hidden gem of the ps1 era. I mean I never played it
Me having played the game: Dude you said yourself... it's fucking called Psychic Force. it's like if Tekken was called punch and kicks, if Street fighter was called: fireballs. If Virtua Fighters was called Virtual figh..... eh bad example on this one.
At least Psychic Force PS1 had some cool music. Not that it means much.
Will you ever review Samurai Pizza Cats? I know it had one super rare DVD release.
I'm so fucking tired of EVERYONE shitting on the FFX laugh scene, check the goddamn context goddammit.
I only found this video because Psychic Force 2012 is one of my favorite Dreamcast games.
11:33 Keith: You're making me question my sexuality too much.
I actually like 8Man After. But in a entertaining dumpster fire sort of way.
So is there a reason that the dude in the thumbnail with the hair like a Torchick is tied to a stake?
That *ba-dum tish* was so on point!
you forgot to mention it had a "2"
and ive heard about 2012 a bit so its probably good, the music is anyways
Psychic Force the PS1 game was an alright fighting game. You could do a lot worse and the whole aerial combat thing was pretty cool. That said, it's no Tekken 3.
Hell Yeah, right on the heels of Sword & Shield being announced.
How did you enjoy Green Bay, Bennett? Did our Wisconsin hospitality suit you well?
+1000 for a Crono Cross reference
The only good thing about the anime was that end credit song. The picture at the end doesn't really help, though...
4:55 That was actually a katakana subtitle and not a hiragana one. Not that it changes whether the establishing subtitles should be translated, but still
I know the best dub Sage should review next, Ghost Stories.
That dubs too legendary
I had to put this comment even though it's kinda late: If only someone would remake the game...
can you do a video on Chobits? I feel like that anime doesn’t have a lot of people talking about it.
Blonde guy looks like All Might’s bastard child

Keanu Reeves as played by SNL cast member:
"Yet."
Psychic Force is a Good Party Game :D just don't bother with story hahaha
Why does that guy with the white hair look like Locke the Superman?
I recently picked it up at our local Big Lots for free (Christmas coupon) and had no idea what the hell I got XD watched up to the 2010 intro and stop. Came here to see if anyone reviewed so thanks 🙏🏻
So...Keith is Magneto? And this is just anime X-Men?
I would actually like to see that.
Oh wow, I played a store demo of that game once. Same with Fight for Life and Virtual Boy tennis. Man, I played ALL the worst games.
Psychic Force? More like Psychic FARCE! YESSSS!!!
I had no fucking idea what was going on when I first watched that movie.
Hey dumb question what happened to gabe?
"Exterminating all the remaining sidekicks." - Ben
I actually played the game 14 years ago in a billiards hall. Something about it stuck with me.
I knew this sounded familiar and I just remembered why. Back in the day, I had the Psychic Force 2012 game for the Dreamcast.
Yes, it was that forgettable.
I just bought this on DVD, and I love this anime. It's so bad, that's why it's good. So I don't know what the heck you're talking about!
it should have been 13 episodes it was rushed.
Random trivia- the screenplay for the anime was written by the same guy who wrote boku no pico.
Katsuhiko TAKAYAMA
Would explain all the homoerotic subtext between the two main characters...
And knowing this anime has something in common with Boku no Pico makes my psyche feel unclean...
"What are you, a cop? Some kind of government cop?"
I could hear that coming out of some smug tosser while drunk/high, like Rick Sanchez.
Hey Cloud made sleeveless turtlenecks cool lol
Come on Sage, they're on a farm. His mom makes all of his clothes, she's just bad at it. XD
10:54 "if you're all alive, then surely Wimp Lo!..."
The game itself actually did well for itself. It around 5 games in total and for the ones who played enjoyed it well enough. Though the sequel Psychic Force 2012 leaps and bounds was better then the original. It was regarded for its style of play being a combination of shoot um up and fighting game design. Though it was most known for OST when I talk to people which rather good in my opinion. The story had merit but extremely poorly executed in the anime obviously.
Oh my god I had a friend named Keith that basically was this character!
For some reason the design and facial expressions of the silver haired guy put me in mind of an older Mytho from princess Tutu.
Ok, glad I wasn't the only one who thought that
All Might: The Early Years
A sleeveless turtle neck is supposed to be put on over top of a long sleeve shirt. He just thought it looked cool without the long sleeve shirt.
It was a great game I wish I could play it again
