    You know what grinds my gears? Near the end of the movie, the goon the says goodbye to the old man said that with the villain's death, the clan is destroyed. But that goon is part of the clan and he never betrayed the villain at any point, therefore the clan still exists because the goon is now the head of it!

      The only redeeming quality of this anime is all the japanese mythology. It's depressing how so many anime dont get dubbed because some executives looked at it and said "ehhhh... its a little TOO Japanesy, lets just buy the licensing rights to another Pokemon knockoff". Last week i found a cool anime that i can best describe as "House of Cards, in Japan" but i couldnt even find a subbed version, and i ended up finding a forum where people were discussing the anime and they basiclly said that "no one wanted to license it because it was heavily focused on *Japanese* politics and they were afraid to take a risk in case Americans couldnt identfy with the Japanese political system". I see the same thing happen with some anime based on Shintoism or Asian literature.

      Actually this OVA was based on a manga that appeared on Shounen Jump in 1976. Megami Tensei first book came in 1986. So calling it even a Shin Megami Tensei knock off is invalid.

    True story, years ago, some lady came up to me while I was glancing at the book jacket of a Martin Sheen book about growing up as a Hollywood actor while being a father of two.
    And this older lady out of the blue who didn't know me from Eve told me Martin Sheen's whole backstory: His real name, where he came from, about his two sons. Everything. I just.....listened in intently and thanked her for the conversation.
    Never saw her again, but ever since then, I can believe that in RL, older aged people will come up and exposition dump stories to us like in the anime.

    So the kid gets the Three Imperial Regalia?
    Well, if the anime wanted to make something fun, then he'd make full use of the sword, called Grasscutter.
    Basically, Grasscutter is a Tsurugi (or ancient Japanese double-edged straight bladed sword) that was found in the tail of the Yamato-No-Orochi. One swing of it creates bladelike gusts of wind that can cut anything in its path. It was used to cut down burning long grass to extinguish the flames and save its wielder, Yamato Takeru, from being burned alive. In other words, it sits near the top of the "Coolest swords in mythology" heap.
    In other words, this series had the opportunity to make awesome action scenes with a windblade-slinging sword, but chose to yammer on.

    • @helenanilsson5666
      @helenanilsson5666 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Well, yeah. It's Japanese mythology. It's not suitable for an American dub (or audience, unless you include a guidebook). It was almost certainly made by Japanese people *for* Japanese people. And your homeland mythology is pretty easy to sell in your homeland because the target audience will be familiar with the material.
      Mind you, I haven't seen this anime myself and I'm not Japanese, but I think this can be compared with National Treasure in a way. It's national history wank, essentially. And thus easily marketable domestically because just like all Americans will be at least somewhat familiar with the Founding Fathers, all Japanese will be at least somewhat familiar with the Bamboo Princess.

I mean I know I've been so busy with my job and running the clan that I have seen her in a while, but I thought I was still close enough to her that she would mention me from time to time." It doesn't weaken the twist that he killed Droopy's father by not telling us that he's his uncle, it just makes it more irritating since he could've used that information to try to get closer to Droopy.

    Actually it wasn't because of fan service why that girl appeared naked. This OVA was a short manga adaptation that appeared on Shonen Jump in 1976 and reading some of it, it is very faithful to the source material. So in the end the problem was the original author because it is a big infodumb but with some nice ideas.

    I think old man exposition had the same voice actor as Gandhi from Baoh.

    Why does Old Man Exposition look exactly like the bearded titan?

    Oh, Maze. The inverted Ranma trope. That show was... well, something.
    Also, for Toonami month this year, can you talk about Paranoia Agent? My God, do more newer anime fans need to watch that series.

    This is gonna sound so random. But one of the off-screen voices in this film sounds like the guy who did one of the mouse voices in that animated Titantic movie with the Blond Rose stand-in and the giant octopus.

    When you mentioned this last week, I went out and had a look over it, and I saw no ultra violence.

    I goddam fucking love Maze, having worked on the fansub team 100 years ago. It was funny. Being into anime for that long, you kinda get numb to all the perversion that comes up in certain titles.

    Ah...Maze, for those who want a Ranma 1/2 clone, but also want DND hack en slash.

      So...Ghost Stories or Sextra Credit?

      Sextra Credit please.

    • @ShadowWolfRising
      @ShadowWolfRising 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      yes
      Samurai Pizza Cats and Duel Masters also qualify, so does Shin Chan technically but given it was a comedy whose humor was.....well different, i don't really count it as that was kinda necessary.

  • @tedthetonberry225
    @tedthetonberry225 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Wow, I basically watched this to see what the next vid is...and...I'm not disappointed. Maze is a series I watched when I was younger and it' was a weird one.

    NOT MAZE! THE ONLY THING GOOD ABOUT IT WAS IT'S END CREDITS THEME IN A 90'S JAPANESE MUSIC KIND OF WAY!😱

    Why does this feel like Japan's drunken attempt at a native American analogue with their myths and legends painted over it.

    This looks like it is a collection of Japanese myths, folklore, and legends strung together in a long narrative story.
