That quote can apply to the Macross franchise. The original series had some pretty bad animation, but a really good story and characters. Macross Delta, on the other hand, has some really good animation, but a bad story and underdeveloped characters.
sadly there is a point even a decent story cant save bad animation cases like Run=Dim were the animation is 99 percent dead weight is a good example. which is sad because when watching it i honostly feel this might of been someones passion project. if it was animated by a company like sunrise i think it would of average atleast a 7. instead it get ratings of 1 to 3 as the animation cant even animated facile features to show emotions. which is sad the story characters and sound which do to the animation failing so badly does all the work with emotional scenes were good.
To answer the question about what a "Spriggan" is, the literal Gaelic / Celtic concept is a creature made from the "bones of dead giants". They supposedly possessed extraordinary traits, the implication being the Yu and Mondo have the latent genetic gifts of this ancient world with its miraculous technologies making them natural candidates to be a sort of Super Soldier at some point in their lives. JT
*I swear, every time I bring this anime movie up to my anime friends none of them know what I’m talking about. Spriggan is lowkey a forgotten gem in the anime world*
Spriggan has crisp animation, but at the same time, there is a missing plot. Great guilty pleasure of an action anime, but if it had more of a story, it would have been great. Those action scenes are epic however
Vorteksio3 'Smack my B!£@¤ Up!' ? Nope, too hardcore ;) Also, I specified mainland Europe. Prodigy is from the isles of Britain, thus an other whole can of worms.
You know, Spriggan was one of the first anime films I ever saw. Hell, it might even have been the first. And I remember its unique style drawing me in, so I kinda want to defend it. But at the same time, I really can't disagree with any of the critiques leveled against it here. I still love it, but would never recomend it to somebody. Sort of a guilty - I just want to watch gorgeous fight scene animations - pleasure.
That's how I feel about Gundam Wing. I absolutely loved it as a kid, but watching it as an adult? I notice the dumb plot points, the inane dialog and the cheap animation. But I can't hate it, and I still like to watch it for a nostalgia trip.
In the little that was released of the manga, this is half a volume condensed into a movie, it's like Friday the 13th the series /SCP (for a more relatable analogy) where it's ancient technology and treasure hunting race from Indiana Jones, the whole school student role was the lame duck stereotype in anime where at one point it's mission impossible, then it's that's so Raven all of a sudden where the character has to make in time for the track meet.
I agree with Sage on CG in anime: If your anime's going to be mostly CG, THEN *JUST* USE CG. IT'S NOT THAT HARD TO UNDERSTAND. Sometimes, when a CG anime has 2D parts, it can be really distracting.
I saw this at a friend’s house ages ago, and I didn’t remember what the name of it was until this very review. It left so little of an impression that I forgot the name, like, the day after-except the film’s repetition of “I’m not dead yet!” becoming a brief in-joke.
I enjoyed Spriggan, giving it a personal 8.5/10, and that was in the late 90s when most anime was either trash or gold. Sucks most people never try to find the japanese versions of shows. Almost all of the time the english dub of an anime is going to kill a show, its just a fact, like watching a big budget film with subtitles, the mind recoils and shoots back to film class.
Anyone checking in after watching the Netflix series? It’s funny this just episode 2 of the Netflix show. The single episode a way better job of condensing the movie though, Yu is nowhere near as violent and the French guy is the super violent one now. Plus he “talk-no justu’d” the kid insta of killing him
And here I thought Spriggans were those woodland creatures from the Elder Scrolls games that just pop up and attack you with nature when you least expect it messing up your health bar, especially when you're trying to fight a Dragon.
Spriggan suffered from the same thing that Akira movie did. Trying to shove a thousand page manga into a (in the case of Spriggan) 90 minute movie. So many characters and plot points left out.( Like the fact that Jean is a fucking werewolf!) Still a fun anime IMO, to just enjoy the animation and spectacle
Counterpoint to your argument about people letting bad films slide if the animation is good enough: 8 Crazy Nights. The animation on that film was absolutely incredible... Unfortunately, the writing, acting, story and direction of the film makes one want to shit gallons of hate-filled and drano-laced evil down Adam Sandler's throat.
Adam Sandler creates an exception to every rule. The UN charter of human rights has a little asterisk after every clause that goes down to "*except Adam Sandler"
spriggan is epic in my opinion, if you have read the manga before this. it is anime created on the logic you already know the basic story. if you had, this anime has lots of sense. i love it.
That particular artistic decision to make anime movies based on manga specifically for readers of the manga and incomprehensible to everyone else was apparently very popular with anime movie creators and very _unpopular_ with anime critics.
Before Spriggan, I never would have believed a movie where ninja Indiana Jones fights Noah's Ark, which is a spaceship full of dinosaurs, could be boring. Spriggan proved it could! ...Yay?
Have you seen any of Makoto Shinkai's films ? His use of CGI is actually done really well...It's near seamless and the amount of detail is amazing...I know you don't like most modern animes but his films are a treat to the eye...
I just can't help but file this with charming 90's actioners like Face\Off, Broken Arrow or Replacement Killers. Silly, but oh so much fun. Granted this came out right when action cinema was trying to be more sophisticated. It missed the window.
It kind of sucks that Kevin Corn (Colonel MacDougall) isn't doing voiceovers anymore. He could be a perfect fit for today's Sentai dubs, as well as some non-union Bang Zoom and Studiopolis dubs.
On the subject of CG and Hand Drawn animation, CG works best with Hand Drawn animation when the former is complementing the latter. The 2 best examples I can think of are the two recent Disney short films Feast and Paperman.
6:02 using the new dub in recent videos, making constant references, using on of the kids in the thumbnail for this video, and now using the bike sound effect. Has Bennet finally seen the good Akira and liked it?
stian kristiansen Well, there's the manga, which is so good that it's on par with Berserk. The movie technically has two English dubs. The first dub from the 80s is the one that Bennet watched. It basically does away with the original script and botches the characters and story, making it into shit. The 2001 redub is infinitely better, sticking closer to the original Japanese with some improvements as well as using the absolute top quality voice actors, including Johnny Yong Bosch, Joshua Seth, and Wendee Lee. The original Japanese, on the other hand, is some of the mast incredible voice acting I've ever heard in my life. The old one smears mud on a painting, the new one paints over that mud and does great justice.
Jonathan Harvey oh ok well i watched it with the redub. I thought there was another movie or ova series that would explain more of the story. Thanks for the respond!
You should review the movie Memories(1995). It's a 3 part movie and I really wanted tiger your opinion on the movie. I noticed you put some scenes from the third movie in this video so I also wanted to know if you have seen the whole film.
Kakurenbo is a cgi anime short film but it was actually pretty well done when it comes to story. I got to know the characters well and as well as the story. The art style was very nice too and I enjoyed the small details in it as well. Sage if you're reading this you must check it out. It was made just last year and I wish it gotten a bit more attention.
God i loved the movie and i still adore it. I love the cheese and the animation and details concerning weaponry and combat, kinetics in general are amazing. For me its a 10/10 movie, but the story really is just a nice fantastical canvas. I tried reading the manga, but it really didn't click with me
What I didn't get is why the organisation supposed to keep the ancient secrets hidden and inaccessible for ever more decide to go around digging up the ancient secrets and researching them!?!?!
I think the best CG-heavy anime I can think of, in terms of looking good, is Knights of Sidonia... which holy crap reminds me that I still haven't watched season 2 yet... man, time really got away from me there... I'll have to start that up soon.
Spriggan really felt like an animated Hollywood B-movie: pretty and fun if you don't think about it, but overblown, moving to fast, trying to do too much, cliched and nonsensical. I enjoyed it for its action; the perfect film for late at night while your brain functions at 50%, but yeah, not that good. Dull isn't the term that would come to mind, though.
TBH, I agree 100% with your comment about Spriggan... Despite its great animation and fighting sequences, it seems that Spriggan was moving WAY too fast and the story was going way TOO fast as well as not giving enough introductions to the other characters such as Jean Jacques Mondo, Dr. Meyzel, Ms. Margaret and so on... Especially having the Anti-Americanism thing which bothers me a lot. It left me with many questions as to how Yu Ominae (My type of hunk.
Mathew Clemence On a technical level both are pretty impressive,eye candy I dare to say,But both are a huge mess of different kinds Sprigan to me was just generic and boring and it made me not care about its characters. In Akira was the story, it had interesting themes but none of the interesting plotpoints were addressed and it leads to you saying, ?what the hell happened or when did this happen?And the ending that just did not give a damn.I've read the Akira manga and I recomend its a very fun read and the movie, Its just a movie you have to see it once just to get to experience the great visuals.I agree with Sage in his review of Akira "you can still be a landmark film and still suck bricks" and Sprigan well it just Boring.
Wow, that soundtrack is so full of Immediate Music tracks that you wonder if they spent all of their budget on the animation and forgot the music. I mean, I remember the trailer using Betrayal Voices, but that they actually used it in the movie itself, wow.
this video made me unsubscribe from this channel... by accident. apparently my phone's touch screen loves to do whatever it wants when it's in my pocket. fear not, this issue has been remedied, Sage is awesome.
dunno, the art and animation are exrtemly detailed, but damn this shit is so generic it's painful, it's like asking Da Vinci to paint the wall of your house white or have bach put up the doorbell, it's that big of a waste that it almost makes it worst than a bad animated anime
That intro reminds me of when i used to draw these silly homages & parodies to the short lived Sailor Moon Abridged series. In one of the comics where I think got some acclaim by Megami [AKA Bulma from Team4Star], I admitted to her Im terrible at drawing, so instead I decided to harness all of my effort into the comedic writing. "Parody over Pretty" Even rewriting drafts & writing alternate punchlines. Sometime after she even said something similiar to the effect when she was talking about a friend of her's higher effort of editting compared to her own when it came to producing her parodies. Theres a video of it somewhere online of her stating that, and the "Parody over Pretty" comment buried in wasteland that is my deviantArt page.
This movie has some watchable stuff So you say that a child character must be played by a female why then they would not sound like a boy this one actually sounds how he should
Hey how do I get n contact with Bennett?? I want to ask what happened to the "podcast" that was up with that Black guy and U talking?? I liked it but didn't get to finish..
+Sheridan Mann Bubblegum Crisis 2040 came out in 1999, and Spriggan came out in 2001. And Daley Wong was just the first named character Chris played. His first main character role was Yushiro Gowa from Gasaraki in 2000. And if we're going by Anime Abandon appearances, he was JC in Sin: The Movie that same year. But the male JC was not a main character in that movie, so I don't count him.
The kid's voice actor is actually really not bad, child actors generally are god awful
In the words of Osama Tezuka a good story will save bad animation but good animation won't save a bad story
That quote can apply to the Macross franchise. The original series had some pretty bad animation, but a really good story and characters. Macross Delta, on the other hand, has some really good animation, but a bad story and underdeveloped characters.
I disagree with that quote.
This is ture.
Just like Kosuba.
Kurosawa said the same thing.
sadly there is a point even a decent story cant save bad animation cases like Run=Dim were the animation is 99 percent dead weight is a good example. which is sad because when watching it i honostly feel this might of been someones passion project. if it was animated by a company like sunrise i think it would of average atleast a 7. instead it get ratings of 1 to 3 as the animation cant even animated facile features to show emotions. which is sad the story characters and sound which do to the animation failing so badly does all the work with emotional scenes were good.
It's cool to see an anime, from Japan, partially set in Japan, where the Japanese characters look somewhat like Japanese.
the combat in spriggan was badass
Agreed
To answer the question about what a "Spriggan" is, the literal Gaelic / Celtic concept is a creature made
from the "bones of dead giants". They supposedly possessed extraordinary traits, the implication being
the Yu and Mondo have the latent genetic gifts of this ancient world with its miraculous technologies
making them natural candidates to be a sort of Super Soldier at some point in their lives. JT
Eh i dont think the child voice is that bad, hell at least he can deliver his lines properly.
The new Spriggan was awesome!
When I hear the name "Spriggan", I think of those humanoid plant monsters from Elder Scrolls.
But they look like the kids from Akira.
***** fuck you
Mom, dad, please don't fight.
+I'm Very Angry It's Not Butter (#WTFU) fuck those things, seriously. They were more annoying in skyrim than the fucking dragons.
All that comes to mind is the friggin' giant bomber in Aero Fighters Assault :U
And guess what's getting a Netflix remake!?
*I swear, every time I bring this anime movie up to my anime friends none of them know what I’m talking about. Spriggan is lowkey a forgotten gem in the anime world*
Spriggan has crisp animation, but at the same time, there is a missing plot. Great guilty pleasure of an action anime, but if it had more of a story, it would have been great. Those action scenes are epic however
That '90's softcore porno music' reminded me a lot of Enigma.
Which '90s mainland european music video wasn't softcore porn back then?
demokratorkodo
Have you ever head of the motherfucking prodigy?
Sigh. Kids these days.
Vorteksio3 'Smack my B!£@¤ Up!' ?
Nope, too hardcore ;)
Also, I specified mainland Europe. Prodigy is from the isles of Britain, thus an other whole can of worms.
demokratorkodo Europe had some good music too, don't be a pretentious dickwad.
Like the Vengaboys or Ace of Base? ;D
You know, Spriggan was one of the first anime films I ever saw. Hell, it might even have been the first. And I remember its unique style drawing me in, so I kinda want to defend it.

How many views has this video gotten since the Netflix show came.
Netflix just announced an anime series of Spriggan, damn!
So, why is Yu a student? What point did those opening minutes serve?
In the little that was released of the manga, this is half a volume condensed into a movie, it's like Friday the 13th the series /SCP (for a more relatable analogy) where it's ancient technology and treasure hunting race from Indiana Jones, the whole school student role was the lame duck stereotype in anime where at one point it's mission impossible, then it's that's so Raven all of a sudden where the character has to make in time for the track meet.

*cough* Ex-Arm *cough*
I agree with you on this review, but I still love it. It's a good looking anime B movie.
I saw this at a friend’s house ages ago, and I didn’t remember what the name of it was until this very review. It left so little of an impression that I forgot the name, like, the day after-except the film’s repetition of “I’m not dead yet!” becoming a brief in-joke.
"...we can overlook a film's problems if the animation is good enough..."
That defines pretty much every Hayao Miyazaki movie.
"see also; jew" - this floored me.
the kid actor's not too bad actually
When in doubt, always watch the subtitled version.
This movie came out in Japan in 1998, then in the United States in 2001 (3 years later).
I enjoyed Spriggan, giving it a personal 8.5/10, and that was in the late 90s when most anime was either trash or gold. Sucks most people never try to find the japanese versions of shows. Almost all of the time the english dub of an anime is going to kill a show, its just a fact, like watching a big budget film with subtitles, the mind recoils and shoots back to film class.
Considering the manga plot...
"Mein Fuhrer..."
"Yes?"
"The Spriggan boy got away."
"...Anyone who suggested hiring Scimitar Moron, leave the room."
I like cgi but I do admit I miss traditional animated western films.
so... 3D animated Spriggan remake. the opening of this episode is prophetic.
Why I came back to what this ep
Wow you said it better than anyone else when it comes to describing our association with hand drawn animation and cgi. It was almost poetic.
Who's coming back to this video because of the 2021 version?
Anyone checking in after watching the Netflix series? It’s funny this just episode 2 of the Netflix show. The single episode a way better job of condensing the movie though, Yu is nowhere near as violent and the French guy is the super violent one now. Plus he “talk-no justu’d” the kid insta of killing him
And here I thought Spriggans were those woodland creatures from the Elder Scrolls games that just pop up and attack you with nature when you least expect it messing up your health bar, especially when you're trying to fight a Dragon.

So many characters and plot points left out.( Like the fact that Jean is a fucking werewolf!) Still a fun anime IMO, to just enjoy the animation and spectacle
5:08 Yu? Now it's just reminding me of better a anime/game I could be watching/playing!
persona?
ecgameplayer Yes, Persona
awesome, I love the series, although I don't get the hate over it, I don't know how "persona 4 made me hate jrpgs"
Spriggan are from Cornish folklaw
3:29 Now put me on a plane so I can put'em in a hearse!
Henchman 21? Gary? Is that you?
Counterpoint to your argument about people letting bad films slide if the animation is good enough: 8 Crazy Nights. The animation on that film was absolutely incredible...

Adam Sandler creates an exception to every rule. The UN charter of human rights has a little asterisk after every clause that goes down to "*except Adam Sandler"
I wish Memories would get more attention, it still stands as my favorite film almost entirely based on the first segment alone.
spriggan is epic in my opinion, if you have read the manga before this.
it is anime created on the logic you already know the basic story. if you had, this anime has lots of sense.
i love it.
That particular artistic decision to make anime movies based on manga specifically for readers of the manga and incomprehensible to everyone else was apparently very popular with anime movie creators and very _unpopular_ with anime critics.
Sage, this script was great. Top-notch. A+ for you.
7:16 "Stop, don't come back..."
9 minutes & 30 seconds,just hilarious,& the "niggardly" thing made me laugh till I was dizzy
Before Spriggan, I never would have believed a movie where ninja Indiana Jones fights Noah's Ark, which is a spaceship full of dinosaurs, could be boring. Spriggan proved it could! ...Yay?
Lets hope Netflix version is better.
I come back if i remember to tell.
It's looking good, so far.
I went to Istanbul a few years back. I can attest that the inside of the Bazaar looks exactly like it's depicted here.
That Anime Abandon GREATNESS!!!!
What is the anime he shows at the beginning with the woman singing as she levitates? Looks familiar, but cant place it. Thank you.
Yu's got a Solidus Snake suit and all Sage references is Raven. Weird
You think 90's softcore porn music is fun, go look up old 60's French porno soundtracks. That shit be HILARIOUS.
Did kenichi sonoda work on this anime? The guns have so much detail, say for the rocket launcher
Have you seen any of Makoto Shinkai's films ? His use of CGI is actually done really well...It's near seamless and the amount of detail is amazing...I know you don't like most modern animes but his films are a treat to the eye...
I'm curious as to why Colonel McDougall is a kid considering how long it takes to be promoted through the ranks?
Wow, usually I have to wait until the afternoon to watch the new episode. Hooray for staying up late.
What's the song at 9:54?
I just can't help but file this with charming 90's actioners like Face\Off, Broken Arrow or Replacement Killers. Silly, but oh so much fun. Granted this came out right when action cinema was trying to be more sophisticated. It missed the window.
So about that CG thing at the beginning, Spriggann and Memories, the other film he showed at the beginning, both have CG.
will Bennett ever review The guyver Anime? both the Out of Control ova and the 26 episode series?
It kind of sucks that Kevin Corn (Colonel MacDougall) isn't doing voiceovers anymore. He could be a perfect fit for today's Sentai dubs, as well as some non-union Bang Zoom and Studiopolis dubs.
On the subject of CG and Hand Drawn animation, CG works best with Hand Drawn animation when the former is complementing the latter. The 2 best examples I can think of are the two recent Disney short films Feast and Paperman.
I remember as a kid just watching the first half of the movie for the action and turning it off.
6:02 using the new dub in recent videos, making constant references, using on of the kids in the thumbnail for this video, and now using the bike sound effect.
Has Bennet finally seen the good Akira and liked it?
If I were to reference RE, that doesn't mean I like it
I know, but his only review of it was the botched up and confusing old one.
Jonathan Harvey there exist another Akira? where?
stian kristiansen Well, there's the manga, which is so good that it's on par with Berserk. The movie technically has two English dubs. The first dub from the 80s is the one that Bennet watched. It basically does away with the original script and botches the characters and story, making it into shit. The 2001 redub is infinitely better, sticking closer to the original Japanese with some improvements as well as using the absolute top quality voice actors, including Johnny Yong Bosch, Joshua Seth, and Wendee Lee. The original Japanese, on the other hand, is some of the mast incredible voice acting I've ever heard in my life.
The old one smears mud on a painting, the new one paints over that mud and does great justice.
Jonathan Harvey
oh ok well i watched it with the redub. I thought there was another movie or ova series that would explain more of the story. Thanks for the respond!
Otomo supervised the film (probably helped getting the film such a high budget), which explains why some of the designs look very similar to his.
12:05 Or you know, it could be the anime equivalent of the ending to No Country for Old Men.
I thought the child actors voice was really well done! Articulate and impactful enough. Leagues ahead of Anakin Skywalker from episode 1!
You should review the movie Memories(1995). It's a 3 part movie and I really wanted tiger your opinion on the movie. I noticed you put some scenes from the third movie in this video so I also wanted to know if you have seen the whole film.
in the manga the french guys a were wolf
Yup. He's a werewolf
Kakurenbo is a cgi anime short film but it was actually pretty well done when it comes to story. I got to know the characters well and as well as the story. The art style was very nice too and I enjoyed the small details in it as well. Sage if you're reading this you must check it out. It was made just last year and I wish it gotten a bit more attention.
9:21 - That's why Colonel Spriggan changed his name when he immigrated.
God i loved the movie and i still adore it. I love the cheese and the animation and details concerning weaponry and combat, kinetics in general are amazing. For me its a 10/10 movie, but the story really is just a nice fantastical canvas. I tried reading the manga, but it really didn't click with me
...Is it me, or has Suave been showing up rather often lately? This is the second episode in a row he's shown up!
Hey Bennett have you seen Tatami Galaxy, Kaiba, Bakuman, or the Gregory Horror Show?
Not you.
You sit!
No,not you, you sit.
You stand.
No!Sit!
No,you stand!
You walk to the Terrace Door and you go back to sleep!
*Watch out!*
This is still the greatest achievement in 2d cel animation to date
Similar to this one (great animation, weird story), how about a review of "Steamboy"?
I don't remember the title being written as Galaxy Express 3-9
12:10 despite the blue balling. That would be an interesting ending that would make discussions
What I didn't get is why the organisation supposed to keep the ancient secrets hidden and inaccessible for ever more decide to go around digging up the ancient secrets and researching them!?!?!
I think the best CG-heavy anime I can think of, in terms of looking good, is Knights of Sidonia... which holy crap reminds me that I still haven't watched season 2 yet... man, time really got away from me there... I'll have to start that up soon.
watched it liked it, but wasn't there a muscle enhancement suit that activates in the Dragonball shouting. also request Busou Renkin
One of the first anime movies I saw in high school.
Spriggan really felt like an animated Hollywood B-movie: pretty and fun if you don't think about it, but overblown, moving to fast, trying to do too much, cliched and nonsensical.

Would you say it tried to be like Akira and failed?
Mathew Clemence On a technical level both are pretty impressive,eye candy I dare to say,But both are a huge mess of different kinds Sprigan to me was just generic and boring and it made me not care about its characters.

So basically what the new Star Wars movie is going to be?
***** sorry mate I'm busy.
6:46 that makes sense XD
10:20 gives me flashbacks to old Red Shoe Diaries episodes. :D
Wow, that soundtrack is so full of Immediate Music tracks that you wonder if they spent all of their budget on the animation and forgot the music. I mean, I remember the trailer using Betrayal Voices, but that they actually used it in the movie itself, wow.
In this day an age of anime fanservice fiesta. This anime is a god send.
Less boobs, more blood, the good old days of anime?
this video made me unsubscribe from this channel... by accident.
apparently my phone's touch screen loves to do whatever it wants when it's in my pocket.
fear not, this issue has been remedied, Sage is awesome.
"harpo" kinda reminds me of the XCOM soldiers with power suits
I lost my shit at 9:48.
Has anyone ever asked sage to review wolfs rain? I remember the show being on toonami briefly and it was kinda weird.
dunno, the art and animation are exrtemly detailed, but damn this shit is so generic it's painful, it's like asking Da Vinci to paint the wall of your house white or have bach put up the doorbell, it's that big of a waste that it almost makes it worst than a bad animated anime
another segal reference but no samurai cop?
Returning after the remake was announced
The problem isn't the kids voice acting, the problem is his microphone peaks every time he talks.
That intro reminds me of when i used to draw these silly homages & parodies to the short lived Sailor Moon Abridged series. In one of the comics where I think got some acclaim by Megami [AKA Bulma from Team4Star], I admitted to her Im terrible at drawing, so instead I decided to harness all of my effort into the comedic writing. "Parody over Pretty" Even rewriting drafts & writing alternate punchlines.
Sometime after she even said something similiar to the effect when she was talking about a friend of her's higher effort of editting compared to her own when it came to producing her parodies.
Theres a video of it somewhere online of her stating that, and the "Parody over Pretty" comment buried in wasteland that is my deviantArt page.
This movie has some watchable stuff
So you say that a child character must be played by a female why then they would not sound like a boy this one actually sounds how he should
Spriggan? As in Girard Spriggan from Mobile Suit Gundam AGE?
Jesus, I was just thinking that same thing xD lol
Hey how do I get n contact with Bennett?? I want to ask what happened to the "podcast" that was up with that Black guy and U talking?? I liked it but didn't get to finish..
What a terrible way for Chris Patton to make his main character debut on Anime Abandon...
+cloudstrife4534 What a terrible way for him to make his debut!
+Sheridan Mann This wasn't Chris's debut in anime. Daley Wong from Bubblegum Crisis 2040 was.
No, this was that came after this I think.
+Sheridan Mann Bubblegum Crisis 2040 came out in 1999, and Spriggan came out in 2001. And Daley Wong was just the first named character Chris played. His first main character role was Yushiro Gowa from Gasaraki in 2000. And if we're going by Anime Abandon appearances, he was JC in Sin: The Movie that same year. But the male JC was not a main character in that movie, so I don't count him.
Ohhhhhh. I guess I saw it was realeased in 1998 and forgot that they waited to realize the dub
4:19
So, Warehouse 13?
