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 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*
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
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.
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"
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.
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.
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.
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
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?
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
+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.
How was Spriggan even possible to hang by the the helicopter WITH HIS BROKEN FUCKED UP HAND and holding Jean ? \ Did the animators goofed or something ?

6:10 Somebody say my name? Seriously though, I don't get why Noah's ark is all that important. The most you'd find is forty days and nights' worth of animal shit.
Ah Spriggan, a really good animated movie......bad luck that anything else is shit, the only thing that i can remember after see the review, was the battles and the Akira boy, being evil....at least was a pretty look movie
omg yes the berserk films like i just fiished watching all of them and this is the first time ive seen berserk and altho im going to work as a 3d animator i cant stand cg in 2d animations like its so weird and lazy looking and the damn berserk films where like 80% cg i mean why even bother with the 2d just do it 3d
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.
1:10 Everybody loved Dr. Strange's visuals but the story kinda felt like an Iron Man rehash at least in the rich douche who has to improve upon himself bit. And yes there were differences but still you can't say Iron Man and Strange are really that different.
How ironic that the studio who did Spriggan and all of its detailed and surprisingly fluid animation would substitute the traditional 2D animation for the CGI overload in the Berserk films.
Spriggan was the first anime film I saw outside of Miyazaki and any from the DBZ franchise. I'll admit, it's pretty terrible. However, I can't help but love it. It got me into other anime. Interesting note, Otomo helped on this film as Supervisor. Also, I still find McDougall's voice less grating than Alphonse's voice in FMA: Brotherhood. Although, might just be mr.
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.
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...
1:00 Sage saying what I've been saying for years. CGI is all well and fine, but it's should not be treated like a replacement or even an improvement on traditional animation.

The kid's voice actor is actually really not bad, child actors generally are god awful
It's cool to see an anime, from Japan, partially set in Japan, where the Japanese characters look somewhat like Japanese.
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.
Eh i dont think the child voice is that bad, hell at least he can deliver his lines properly.
the combat in spriggan was badass
Agreed
*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*
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
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
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
I agree with you on this review, but I still love it. It's a good looking anime B movie.
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

The new Spriggan was awesome!
"see also; jew" - this floored me.
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.
You think 90's softcore porn music is fun, go look up old 60's French porno soundtracks. That shit be HILARIOUS.
I like cgi but I do admit I miss traditional animated western films.
Spriggan didn't have much of a story and the characters were kinda bland, but boy oh boy the animation was fucking amazing... :)
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.

Netflix just announced an anime series of Spriggan, damn!
9 minutes & 30 seconds,just hilarious,& the "niggardly" thing made me laugh till I was dizzy
9:21 - That's why Colonel Spriggan changed his name when he immigrated.
How many views has this video gotten since the Netflix show came.
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"
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
This movie came out in Japan in 1998, then in the United States in 2001 (3 years later).
"...we can overlook a film's problems if the animation is good enough..."
That defines pretty much every Hayao Miyazaki movie.
"harpo" kinda reminds me of the XCOM soldiers with power suits
Considering the manga plot...
"Mein Fuhrer..."
"Yes?"
"The Spriggan boy got away."
"...Anyone who suggested hiring Scimitar Moron, leave the room."
so... 3D animated Spriggan remake. the opening of this episode is prophetic.
Why I came back to what this ep
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.
Who's coming back to this video because of the 2021 version?
Spriggan are from Cornish folklaw
3:29 Now put me on a plane so I can put'em in a hearse!
When in doubt, always watch the subtitled version.
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
Errors: It's Cornish. Not Celtic anymore... 😗😗
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.
(Jerry Seinfeld voice) It's an anime about NOTHING!

Yu's got a Solidus Snake suit and all Sage references is Raven. Weird
I lost my shit at 9:48.

So basically what the new Star Wars movie is going to be?
***** sorry mate I'm busy.
Henchman 21? Gary? Is that you?
My god everyone in the comments is bitching about Sages opinions about this film. I can hardly wait when he reviews Dragonball Z
hehehe, i love Db and Z but that would be funny.
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.
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.
I wish Memories would get more attention, it still stands as my favorite film almost entirely based on the first segment alone.
I thought the child actors voice was really well done! Articulate and impactful enough. Leagues ahead of Anakin Skywalker from episode 1!
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.
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
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.

Ohhhhhh. I guess I saw it was realeased in 1998 and forgot that they waited to realize the dub
How was Spriggan even possible to hang by the the helicopter WITH HIS BROKEN FUCKED UP HAND and holding Jean ? \
Did the animators goofed or something ?

7:16 "Stop, don't come back..."
Seems like an Akira knock off...
They were both made by the same guy.
Kaz thank gawd this wasn't as sucessful. It shows...
It's not bad but just not that interesting beyound the animation and action.
+Mattheos Clemence (Kangiwi) So....Akira?
This anime fucking sucked, it should never have been made. The manga it is loosely based on is a lot more bearable.
6:10 Somebody say my name?
Seriously though, I don't get why Noah's ark is all that important. The most you'd find is forty days and nights' worth of animal shit.
in the manga the french guys a were wolf
Yup. He's a werewolf
Ah Spriggan, a really good animated movie......bad luck that anything else is shit, the only thing that i can remember after see the review, was the battles and the Akira boy, being evil....at least was a pretty look movie
The problem isn't the kids voice acting, the problem is his microphone peaks every time he talks.
omg yes the berserk films like i just fiished watching all of them and this is the first time ive seen berserk and altho im going to work as a 3d animator i cant stand cg in 2d animations like its so weird and lazy looking and the damn berserk films where like 80% cg i mean why even bother with the 2d just do it 3d
I'm curious as to why Colonel McDougall is a kid considering how long it takes to be promoted through the ranks?
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.
lol I believe this was the very first anime I was disappointed after buying.
"Spriggan"? More like Friggin'... Boring... the movie, that is.
12:10 despite the blue balling. That would be an interesting ending that would make discussions
I thought Spriggan was Awesome
I remember as a kid just watching the first half of the movie for the action and turning it off.
This is still the greatest achievement in 2d cel animation to date
6:46 that makes sense XD
That Anime Abandon GREATNESS!!!!
Omg it's Eric Cartman! Lol
PS
Is it bad to say I think Scarface is overrated?
I'm sorry but seeing a lit kid as the main villian and have the voice etc makes me lol.
YES YES YES HO GOD YES!!! A Kung pow enter the fist reference.!
9:53 A word that has held back the Jews for years.
if you hate cg then don't watch Blassreiter
Oh wow big bro
1:10 Everybody loved Dr. Strange's visuals but the story kinda felt like an Iron Man rehash at least in the rich douche who has to improve upon himself bit. And yes there were differences but still you can't say Iron Man and Strange are really that different.
The difference is how the two fight evil one with science and technology and the other with literal magical powers.
How ironic that the studio who did Spriggan and all of its detailed and surprisingly fluid animation would substitute the traditional 2D animation for the CGI overload in the Berserk films.
Katsuhiro Otomo still plans on making stuff, but all of it isn't animated.
I belived the owner of springga gave the anime to netflix for free.
Spriggan was the first anime film I saw outside of Miyazaki and any from the DBZ franchise. I'll admit, it's pretty terrible. However, I can't help but love it. It got me into other anime. Interesting note, Otomo helped on this film as Supervisor. Also, I still find McDougall's voice less grating than Alphonse's voice in FMA: Brotherhood. Although, might just be mr.
He was. Although he was voiced by a boy in the first series.
Zachary Erickson Alphonse's old voice actor now plays Ling.
Spriggan? As in Girard Spriggan from Mobile Suit Gundam AGE?
Jesus, I was just thinking that same thing xD lol
sprigann? someone better call the dovakhinn
I remember you sage! You used to work with zone tan 😂
He's on a mission from God...only with less sweet tunes.
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.
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...
Maybe this is the year he reviews the Battle Angel Alita OVA
1:00 Sage saying what I've been saying for years. CGI is all well and fine, but it's should not be treated like a replacement or even an improvement on traditional animation.
Are you trying to say Magnetic Rose was all visuals. I thought it was a pretty clever film about fame and reality.
He needs to tackle the full metal panic series.
