I literally watched Creamy Mami because of this video during the start of quarantine. I can confirm that it is a show that does literally whatever it wants.
These designs are beyond cute. 80's character design was so endearing. Edit: I didnt mean to start a fucking boomer war I just wanted to say the robot girl was cute and I have no idea what some people are going on about below this post lmao.
@@paraclonebasedtrooper8225 Another thing I've noticed is that 80's anime characters generally looked tougher than modern ones. (This goes for both men and women characters). Today, most designers just want to make the characters pretty XD
There's something about the 80's and Japan that is just so magical and infatuating... the happy and care-free vibes, the music, the aesthetics. Sure I'm aware it was by no way a perfect time (which decade has been?) , but still sounds like a very interesting roller coaster of a decade and place; I especially love how optimistic all was in those times, compared to how doomerish the mood was in the following times. Please don't start a stupid generation war in the replies, I'm just a dude born in the late 90s expressing his interest for a time that he couldn't get to live.
The 80’s for Japan was a lot like the 90’s for a lot of the west in a lot of ways. An comparatively economically prosperous, yet surprisingly experimental and artistic optimistic time that got a damper put on it afterwards and never truly recovered. The 90s saw the economic bubble burst in Japan which led to stagnation, the effects of which have never been able to be remedied, and the west in the 2000s got things like the Great Recession, the rise of Islamic terrorism becoming more wide spread and just general cycles of tension and societal stress causing events.

It's actually a SF reference to General Products, a company run by aliens known as Pierson's Puppeteers from Larry Niven's Known Space universe. They picked the name, in the fiction precisely because of how universal and genric it is and are primarily known for making genric spaceship hulls for people to adappt to whatever they need. So while it sounds quite generic and random, it's actually anything but in the context of them being producers of unofficial merchandise for fantasy and SF works as well as their own works (GP being run by Artmic and proto-Gainax).
I know people already said it... DAMN Those fan design are nuts! No, really, they're great! They look like megaman Zero characters. 15 years prior. Even the concept of a robot magical girl kinda make sence: combining Astro and momo? Yeah, why not? I'm actually surprise this wasn't done in another fashion somewhere else.

"Creamy Mami, an anime about a little girl that gets abducted, experimented on, and can turn into an adult whenever it's legally convenient.

Pretty inspiring lol
I believe they combine genres to create this magical girl mecha because they loved both genres and as they say "why not both" i do the same thing when i draw! It's the inner fan obsession, like how ppl make alternate universes of their fave characters!
This is my understanding of how human life works in general. No matter how well you _think_ you understand a Thing, it was actually wilder and more recursively complicated than you could possibly imagine.

Only in America. I'm from Europe and we grew up watching Creamy never suspecting her name could have had other meanings. BTW, it's strange to see that what most of you consider completely outlandish and totally bizarre for me was just my childhood.
It's strange to read this comments when you live in a country where Creamy Mamy is hugely popular (and for good reason, Kazunori Ito, writer of the series, was part of Mamoru Oshii's team). The nobody singer who sang her songs built her career on Creamy. Oh, and they also dubbed the tentacle OVA in my language, sure we found it a little bizarre but we're not shocked by it like you seem to be.
Fun fact about PONY METAL U-GAIM both Hiroyuki Okiura (Director of Jin Roh) and Hiroyuki Kitakubo (Director Blood the Last Vampire) worked as key animators on this short
Watched this when I was a kid on Brazil tv, creamy mami, minky momo and 3 other shows like this because my sister likes this a lot. Sadly, she died on 2012 on her sleep due to heart issue that was undiagnosed. RIP Maria. I hope your in a better world on the other side.
Man, I love your channel. Being 43-years-old and watching your vids reminds me of so much weirdness as anime was creeping onto American screens and just seeing whatever because it was new and wild as hell. Staying up to catch one of the three anime (Vampire Hunter D or Robot Carnival or Twilight of the Cockroaches) on USA Network's "Up All Night" block, sending off blank vhs tapes to a fansubber in Texas to get the newest episodes of Fushigi Yugi mailed back, watching Superbook on Sunday mornings because the Christian Network is the only tv your grandma would let you watch. Buying VHS releases with two episodes of Ranma and watching them over and over and over. Trading series with friends not because you were interested in their stuff, just to have something new to watch. The first time you find an "adult" anime in a kids section because the people who worked at the store thought animation = kids. Such crazy times...thanks for the nostalgia, friend.
I remembered Minky Momo and Creamy Mami really vaguely It use to aired in my local TV Channel, good times.. I guess Magical Girls are Mother of all modern anime
These Robot Magical Girls are the most metal things I’ve ever seen in my life! Heh, Metal, get it......... I’ll leave. No but seriously this was legitimately fascinating.
Dear God I love this channel! Make no mistake you are genuinely doing a service for the world. That's not even a joke. I'm serious. Your videos brighten my day more than I can express. More robot/space armor girls please. That was my thing when I was into anime as teenager and I always felt like they got buried under magical girls. I had no idea there was so much stuff I would have loved to get into.
"Yes, well, the urge just come over us, Mr Horne" "Yes, just came over us, it did. And I said 'well, I'm game'" "Oh yes, Mr Horne. There's no one gamier"
I'm really happy that dinosaur statue existed for one glorious moment. I'm glad that someone had that vision and saw it through. They followed through. You can't stop a dream.
What can I say, the 80s was a time to be alive. Even though I was born in 1998. Looking back at the money-filled, corruption-backed excess of the 1980s gives me enough giggles and knowledge to last 12 days. Few people can claim with dead seriousness that there was an attempt at making a video game based on a mecha doujinshi tribute to a magical girl Anime that was cancelled early in development because the people behind the funding blew their money on a massive Papier-Mache Dinosaur that they commissioned Toho of Godzilla fame to construct, that pissed off Bill Gates so much that they had to scale everything back. Oh, and somehow, GAINAX and one of the founders of Bones had a hand in advertising the doujin with an obscure animation that only just popped-up on TH-cam 3-5 years ago. Then again, this was the same decade when a couple of Frenchmen decided to build a race car that wasn't intended to finish an endurance race, but instead, was built to reach 400 km/h (or 252 mph in Tea and Crumpets/Freedom units) down a public road, because they could.
Don't forget that Hollywood in the 80s was so self-aware of action hero movies getting popular that in the 90s, they ended up making action movie spoofs and parodies as a weird homage which ended up resulting in the creation of Black Dynamite
Honestly, I love when Kenny tackles these obscure older anime or lost animes. It's awesome hearing someone be so passionate and entertaining about forgotten media of this calibre. Before watching Kenny, I didn't give a shit about Minky Momo, Twinkle Nora Rock Me, or even Creamy Mami. After discovering this channel and the awesome anime gems he covers I feel like I've been enlightened to this world I never knew existed. I get so stuck up on my favorite anime from the 90s and early 2000s that I forget that there were so many gems buried in the 80s.
"And every once in awhile, you would have a show where an idol fights ninjas with rocket launchers, just so they could sell---" My brain: .... _more rocket launchers?_ "--more records." My brain: .... oh, yeah I guess that was where he was going with this. My bad Don't know why my brain did that, but now I can't get the image out of my head of some sort of "rocket launcher idol" XD
I am baffled by the dinosaur but also like deeply intrigued, the connecting the dots here was absolutely worth the wild ride it took to get to "why was that 3 minute video made". Thank you for making this!
Creamy Mami was one of my all-time fav tv anime series, and many of the songs appeared in the show by Takako Ota are very nice, catchy songs too. Among them “Beautiful Shock” is my absolute fav.
Between this and Minky Momo, you've convinced me to watch the magical girl shows of the 80s. In all seriousness, I'm surprised that nobody picked up their old Pony Metal U-Gaim stuff and made a PC-98 game out of it.
Literally I forgot about that promotional short until you said "Pony Metal" and then everything came flooding back right as the clip rolled. This is the craziest fever dream, the Internet is just one big dream simulator. But I totally need more mecha magical girls shows. There'd be elements for an episode or two, but the only full-blown mecha magical girl series I can think of were D4 Princess and Magic Knight Rayearth and yet that wasn't fully-realized until the second season. Japan should've been all over that, especially Gainax. Instead, Gainax makes... magical girls advertising cars.
These videos are brilliant, and this one is especially impressive with all the information you dug up on a fan project from the 80s. Some of the classic 70s and 80s anime are finally available in English thanks to companies like Discotek, but there are so many more that are almost never talked about, despite their impact at the time.
Gainax or studio bones probably holds the rights to it since they did the video which means the original doujin was sold off. With pieces of crap out now like xenon valkyrie, what would the game even play like as a slice of life?
The algorithm showed your video and this is quite a peek to the history of the anime rabbit hole that i enjoy and continue to up to now. Thumbs up to such a unique content. 👍
The obscurity levels of this video is so god damn high. I love this. This is like finding gold in the trash- forgotten about for a long time but valuable right now.
I was here for some Magical Girl Idol and ended with into a rabbit hole that lead to fan made spin off mecha manga/anime/video game, dinosaurs and Microsoft
This is a fantastic find! I didn't even know about Yumi let alone this zany project! Kenichi Sonoda - among the best mechanical designers to ever have the industry. Thank you for archiving these endangered anime relics! Great job also showcasing the "Dancing Xabungle" album! I had to get the vinyl after hearing MIO/MIQ's vocals on "Why". The whole album is fantastic and is actually great for some 80s funk regardless if you dig anime or not.
I think Cutie Honey predated U-Gaim by a decade, but uses an older looking robot as the heroine instead. Honey herself is one of the coincidental inspirations for Jenny Wakeman.
so a mix of Creamy Mami and L Gaim? now look at the Five Star Stories OVA since you mentioned Nagano's baby. and if you do a Doozybots video get Kakarot197 as he did a gundam video that mentioned it.
Since we are talking about 80s Magical Girl, CLAMP tried to make a Magical Girl in 1989/1990 named Miracle You which is basically a prototype of Card Captor Sakura, so CLAMP tried to join the party as well...but the multiple priorities caused them to drop and remake a couple of years after.
Really interesting to see the historical side of amine. Research into older, obscure things is hard enough. Adding a foreign language on top of that makes these videos all the more impressive.
"Research into older, obscure things is hard enough" It's funny how Creamy, a show that is extremely mainstream here in Italy, is considered old and obscure in the US.
My mind is blown by the logic of hiring the Godzilla people to make a life size dinosaur statue. Because, y'know, they already know how to make lizards as tall as buildings so it will be a snap. Flawless.
I just love everything about this. I love that it's a fan project. I love that amazing people had their careers start there. I love the giant dinosaur. Thanks Kenny for another great video.
There has to be footage of that brontosaurus. I'm honestly asking: do you have any idea if your content has any sort of Japanese audience? I feel like if some people with the right skills got together and made an effort to translate your content and get it out there, enough hype over these obscurities in their native land could genuinely lead to things being unearthed more and more. As an archivist, myself, I greatly appreciate what you do here. ;D
I pinned an image of a rather obscure advertising extravaganza for the wildly mocked Kenya Boy movie’s ill funded premiere onto my Tropical Princes Pinterest board. The only major evidence is of the two main celebrity voice actors being costumed as Kenya Boy Wataru and Kate.
About that Itchy, Scratchy and Poochie reference: It *always* bothered me that they played it like it was such a contradiction. Like, why couldn't you have a show about everyday down-to-earth problems where the characters go on crazy space adventures? Of course you can! I liked the video too. I realise it is an old video, but today's the day I saw it!
One of my favorite channels on TH-cam. You talk about old anime garbage that I thought I had once imagined. Great energy, research, & presentation. Please keep up the great work! ^,..,^

I remembered Minky Momo and Creamy Mami really vaguely
It use to aired in my local TV Channel, good times..
I guess Magical Girls are Mother of all modern anime
More like grandma of
I’m starting to get the feeling that the “Pony Metal U-GAIM” anime short was sort of an inspiration for “My Life As A Teenage Robot”.
These Robot Magical Girls are the most metal things I’ve ever seen in my life! Heh, Metal, get it......... I’ll leave.
No but seriously this was legitimately fascinating.
Meme! Aproved.
It's good that Pierrot is Reviving that Concept in the Reiwa Era.
Huh, so thats how things like frame arms girls and macross idol/valkyrie kits came about
Mecha girls were really popular in the 80s I remember seeing a lot of scans of gundam girls from the 80s.
I'm seriously looking forward to the Mecha-Girl extended universe featuring Azur Lane, Girls Frontline, and Frame Arms Girl/Megami Device.
@@MrRuano825 Frame Arm Girls are collectables in Dearh Stranding lol
And Alice Gear Aegis!
I really enjoy learning about these lost media that are actually hugely influential to the arc of larger fandoms and anime history.
There was a magical girl extended universe?!?!

Not so different from Isekai Quartet, really.
Mecha and magical girls were huge back in the day.
I'm glad you clarified the name because it had many questions running through my head
"Doesn't even have an article on the Lost Media Wiki"
Justin Whang has entered the fight!
Kenny coming back to change the thumbnail of this video each week is funny as hell
Dear God I love this channel!
Make no mistake you are genuinely doing a service for the world. That's not even a joke. I'm serious. Your videos brighten my day more than I can express.
More robot/space armor girls please. That was my thing when I was into anime as teenager and I always felt like they got buried under magical girls. I had no idea there was so much stuff I would have loved to get into.
This is the funniest rabbit hole video essay I’ve ever seen
"Pony Metal U Gaim"
SHOW ME THE WAY TO YOU!!
LEAD ME NOW WHERE YOU ARE!!
Ah i see you're a man of culture :)
U GAAAAAIM
U GAIM
NAO KOTOUUUU
"Yes, well, the urge just come over us, Mr Horne"
"Yes, just came over us, it did. And I said 'well, I'm game'"
"Oh yes, Mr Horne. There's no one gamier"
I'm trying to remember where this is from, any help? :(
@@Ali-Britco Heavy Metal L-Gaim
I'm really happy that dinosaur statue existed for one glorious moment. I'm glad that someone had that vision and saw it through. They followed through. You can't stop a dream.
I agree. It’s just so damn beautiful.
What can I say, the 80s was a time to be alive. Even though I was born in 1998. Looking back at the money-filled, corruption-backed excess of the 1980s gives me enough giggles and knowledge to last 12 days. Few people can claim with dead seriousness that there was an attempt at making a video game based on a mecha doujinshi tribute to a magical girl Anime that was cancelled early in development because the people behind the funding blew their money on a massive Papier-Mache Dinosaur that they commissioned Toho of Godzilla fame to construct, that pissed off Bill Gates so much that they had to scale everything back. Oh, and somehow, GAINAX and one of the founders of Bones had a hand in advertising the doujin with an obscure animation that only just popped-up on TH-cam 3-5 years ago.
Then again, this was the same decade when a couple of Frenchmen decided to build a race car that wasn't intended to finish an endurance race, but instead, was built to reach 400 km/h (or 252 mph in Tea and Crumpets/Freedom units) down a public road, because they could.
There will be no decade like the 80s ever again. The 60s has been romanticized but we all know all the real shit happened in the 80s
Don't forget that Hollywood in the 80s was so self-aware of action hero movies getting popular that in the 90s, they ended up making action movie spoofs and parodies as a weird homage which ended up resulting in the creation of Black Dynamite
They also crashed the economy and ruined our prospect of retirement and a dignified adulthood
@@blackcat1642 Wasn't the first or last time that happened, we humans love to take things to extremes.
Yeah but this may be the last time
*climate change intesifies*
MSX: We worked our budget to exhaustion to build a giant mechanical Dinosaur.
Bill Gates: Why would you do all that?
MSX: Because it's cool.
I can't believe nobody talks about the giant dinosaur statue anymore, I feel like that woulda been a big talking point at some time
Can't believe I just got recommended this video....what I've been missing all this time Great video!
Honestly, I love when Kenny tackles these obscure older anime or lost animes. It's awesome hearing someone be so passionate and entertaining about forgotten media of this calibre. Before watching Kenny, I didn't give a shit about Minky Momo, Twinkle Nora Rock Me, or even Creamy Mami. After discovering this channel and the awesome anime gems he covers I feel like I've been enlightened to this world I never knew existed. I get so stuck up on my favorite anime from the 90s and early 2000s that I forget that there were so many gems buried in the 80s.
Man I don't even watch that much anime anymore but I am absolutely obsessed with these anime deep cut videos
"And every once in awhile, you would have a show where an idol fights ninjas with rocket launchers, just so they could sell---"
My brain: .... _more rocket launchers?_
"--more records."
My brain: .... oh, yeah I guess that was where he was going with this. My bad
Don't know why my brain did that, but now I can't get the image out of my head of some sort of "rocket launcher idol" XD
Hahahaa
"Rocket Launcher Idol" is my dream girl. Well, one of.
Rocket launchers really don't need much of an ad campaign. They pretty much sell themselves. :)
My brain went to 'more toys'
Get your asses in gear, Japanese diaspora living in Texas.
"Every once in a while you'd have a show where an idol fights ninjas with rocket launchers just so they could sell more records."
"million dollar dinosaur money" is my new favorite saying that no other human will get
This channel rules, every topic is like a ramp into insane cool stuff I didnt know about.
I'm starting to think every 80s magical girl series has a story like this around it.
I am baffled by the dinosaur but also like deeply intrigued, the connecting the dots here was absolutely worth the wild ride it took to get to "why was that 3 minute video made". Thank you for making this!
Honestly, I thought the title said "Creamy Miami" and thought it was strange 80's Engrish.
Creamy Mami was one of my all-time fav tv anime series, and many of the songs appeared in the show by Takako Ota are very nice, catchy songs too. Among them “Beautiful Shock” is my absolute fav.
Between this and Minky Momo, you've convinced me to watch the magical girl shows of the 80s. In all seriousness, I'm surprised that nobody picked up their old Pony Metal U-Gaim stuff and made a PC-98 game out of it.
This is just another example of your amazing detective work and editing.
You deserve a larger audience and following.
Literally I forgot about that promotional short until you said "Pony Metal" and then everything came flooding back right as the clip rolled. This is the craziest fever dream, the Internet is just one big dream simulator.
But I totally need more mecha magical girls shows. There'd be elements for an episode or two, but the only full-blown mecha magical girl series I can think of were D4 Princess and Magic Knight Rayearth and yet that wasn't fully-realized until the second season. Japan should've been all over that, especially Gainax. Instead, Gainax makes... magical girls advertising cars.
It’s funny how magical girls and mecha did eventually become a genre mashup that works extremely well. See Symphogear
I need a time machine to get back to 80's, man those were the times.
These videos are brilliant, and this one is especially impressive with all the information you dug up on a fan project from the 80s. Some of the classic 70s and 80s anime are finally available in English thanks to companies like Discotek, but there are so many more that are almost never talked about, despite their impact at the time.
Wait.... can't we just make a modern pony metal U-Gaim game?
Gainax or studio bones probably holds the rights to it since they did the video which means the original doujin was sold off. With pieces of crap out now like xenon valkyrie, what would the game even play like as a slice of life?
I think the basic versions of Fusion 2.5 or Game Maker don't cost over much to register...
The algorithm showed your video and this is quite a peek to the history of the anime rabbit hole that i enjoy and continue to up to now. Thumbs up to such a unique content. 👍
Creamy Mami and Minky Momo should be more recognized than ever before thanks to Kenny. Nice vid!!
This video is wild. Great job man
The obscurity levels of this video is so god damn high. I love this. This is like finding gold in the trash- forgotten about for a long time but valuable right now.
I was here for some Magical Girl Idol and ended with into a rabbit hole that lead to fan made spin off mecha manga/anime/video game, dinosaurs and Microsoft
Kenny: "Hey guys, want to hear about this magical girl mecha anime? ALSO GIANT DINOSAUR STATUE!"
This is a fantastic find! I didn't even know about Yumi let alone this zany project! Kenichi Sonoda - among the best mechanical designers to ever have the industry. Thank you for archiving these endangered anime relics!
Great job also showcasing the "Dancing Xabungle" album! I had to get the vinyl after hearing MIO/MIQ's vocals on "Why". The whole album is fantastic and is actually great for some 80s funk regardless if you dig anime or not.
Henkei Shoujo: Anime girl transforms into mecha, it’s something never seen before!
Pony Metal U-Gaim: Hold my Bolts.
I think Cutie Honey predated U-Gaim by a decade, but uses an older looking robot as the heroine instead. Honey herself is one of the coincidental inspirations for Jenny Wakeman.
What I came for: retrospective about a beloved cute magical girl series
What I stayed for: history lesson on otaku culture and anime studio industry
You know your day is going to be good when kenny lauderdale releases a video!
To be fair, I too would buy more records from an idol if I saw them fighting ninjas with a rocket launcher
so a mix of Creamy Mami and L Gaim? now look at the Five Star Stories OVA since you mentioned Nagano's baby. and if you do a Doozybots video get Kakarot197 as he did a gundam video that mentioned it.
Since we are talking about 80s Magical Girl, CLAMP tried to make a Magical Girl in 1989/1990 named Miracle You which is basically a prototype of Card Captor Sakura, so CLAMP tried to join the party as well...but the multiple priorities caused them to drop and remake a couple of years after.
Hell yeah, the graveyard shift does have some benefits
Really interesting to see the historical side of amine. Research into older, obscure things is hard enough. Adding a foreign language on top of that makes these videos all the more impressive.
"Research into older, obscure things is hard enough"
It's funny how Creamy, a show that is extremely mainstream here in Italy, is considered old and obscure in the US.
Nowadays all these anime are copying off SAO, back in the 80s, they all wanted to be Minky Momo!
My mind is blown by the logic of hiring the Godzilla people to make a life size dinosaur statue.
Because, y'know, they already know how to make lizards as tall as buildings so it will be a snap.
Flawless.
I just love everything about this. I love that it's a fan project. I love that amazing people had their careers start there. I love the giant dinosaur. Thanks Kenny for another great video.
This video was amazing. Thanks for your good service
What do dinosuars have to do with '80s computers?
They both went extinct!
By the way taht is a brachiosaurus.
8:30 tfw Harambe and Austin Powers starred in a Japanese computer commercial together.
I freaking love your finds.
Bless you for highlighting these adorable relicts.
I'm so glad youtube recommended this vid. A few days ago I was trying super hard to remember the name of this.
Creamy Mami and Minky Momo are quickly becoming my favorite Cryptids thanks to Kenny.
0:30 "Just like Minky Momo before her"
>Shows Yu almost getting rammed by a truck
yeah, this is totally NOT a coincidence
There has to be footage of that brontosaurus. I'm honestly asking: do you have any idea if your content has any sort of Japanese audience? I feel like if some people with the right skills got together and made an effort to translate your content and get it out there, enough hype over these obscurities in their native land could genuinely lead to things being unearthed more and more. As an archivist, myself, I greatly appreciate what you do here. ;D
We should try to show this to as much people living in japan as possible
@@thehermit8618 Thax for supporting my tiny desire. ;D
I pinned an image of a rather obscure advertising extravaganza for the wildly mocked Kenya Boy movie’s ill funded premiere onto my Tropical Princes Pinterest board. The only major evidence is of the two main celebrity voice actors being costumed as Kenya Boy Wataru and Kate.
@@SlapstickGenius23 Whoa, neat. ;D
About that Itchy, Scratchy and Poochie reference: It *always* bothered me that they played it like it was such a contradiction. Like, why couldn't you have a show about everyday down-to-earth problems where the characters go on crazy space adventures? Of course you can!
I liked the video too. I realise it is an old video, but today's the day I saw it!
I read everything so I'm glad you enjoyed it. Crazy how this girl lead to full metal alchemist huh? What a domino effect.
I love those ink concept drawings tbh. Serious Mega Man vibes.
I never knew some of these old anime series existed, if not for your videos. Thanks!
One of my favorite channels on TH-cam. You talk about old anime garbage that I thought I had once imagined. Great energy, research, & presentation. Please keep up the great work! ^,..,^
You put in such a monumental amount of research into your videos, it's commendable!
