I should note that butterflies in some mythologies are considered vessels of the spirits of the dead, so you could interpret that as the butterflies being the ghosts of Broody's hometown that have come to take him away
Except that isn't what happen. Also whole execution was ridiculous. It is not that butterflies can't be scary but that it look almost like a comedy sketch here.
I believe this anime would've had good potential if it were more based on the original manga instead of starting and ending right in the middle. I agree about the voice acting which is why I find the Japanese/english subtitled version or the UK dub easier to watch....and yes. I am a Clamp fan and Rg Veda is one of my favorite mangas. The artwork is gorgeous, you find so much more about the characters and their histories, there's much more emotion and the story itself is sad, but very exciting at the same time. It kept me interested and still does. This is why I can appreciate the works of Clamp. Personally, I think their way of story telling is really beautiful. Just thought I'd throw it out there. :)
@@propheci yeah Blackheartzero doesn't dislike Jojo, they were commenting about an "egg" because Clamp, the same creator as this anime, once made a Jojo's Fan Manga that involves Kakyoin and Josuke being a couple and raising a child from an egg together... yes.
I do like that Sage acknowledges that the fault comes in the anime ADAPTATION into a shortened OVA format (and a lazy one at that) rather than the story itself in manga or the story in and of itself. As a CLAMP fan, even with all the CLAMP cliches and foibles, all I can say is thanks, Sage!
Yeh, oversize shoulder-pads or other restricting yet pointless armor parts, or bikini armor. Outside really light stuff most females wear exact same plates in real life.
The dub used here is interesting as the one from when I watched this years ago had a very British sounding voice cast. Made the majority of the cast sound much more regal and dignified, it's hard to explain, but overall it felt better than this to my recollection. Back then though, I swear I thought I was missing episodes before and after what was shown here because everything begins and ends so damn abruptly.
2:25 It's spelled without an 'i' because that's how it's supposed to be spelled. Ṛg Veda. In sanskrit (the language of the Vedas) the 'r' doesn't act as a consonant, but a vowel. Usually it has an underdot to differentiate it from a consonantal 'r'. Try saying a _arrrr[g]!!_ like a pirate without the 'a', maybe roll the 'r'-bit. The British empire wouldn't have any of that, so they added an 'i' to make it suit their palate. Same thing with Krishna, which should be _Kṛṣṇa._
So... was Yasha subdued with a neurotoxin emitted from the butterflies, or was he so enamored by them, he decisively conceded the fight? If the writers were gonna go the demonic butterfly route, couldn't they take a note from Berserk's Lost Children arc, and have Yasha fight a pterodactyl sized carnivorous moth beast?
Charlene Alyssa Ingram He does. The cutoff moves up each year but I think the qualifier is it needs to be at least a decade old, and he's already covered several series and films from the '00s.
Anime Abandon started in the early 10s, so the 00s were too recent. Yet here we are close to the 20s, where all the 00s will be available. Though is just me, or does anyone else still think of the 00s as part of the modern era?
+0utta S1TE Gurren Lagann was dubbed by Bandai in 08, so this year it will become available. Whether or not he will is another thing, as it is not really a forgotten title.
8:31, clearly you've never seen Buso Renkin. There you have two scary types of butterflies. One made of gunpowder that explode with more force than a hand grenade and a flamboyant superman, who likes to parade around in black spandex and sometimes a butterfly thong. Your choice on which is more terrifying.
for those who want to know more about RG Veda SPOILERS AHEAD: 'Misty' has no gender, Darth Bishie is actually a good guy who was in love with Misty's dad Ashura-o and would do anything for him, and Ashura-o was like ok you can sleep with me but you got to kill the king and then kill me and then eat my remains afterwards to stop a prophecy where my child will destroy everything from happening and Darth Bishie was cool with that, the prophecy more or less happened anyway, and everyone died Shakespeare style except for I guess Misty and Broody who love each other in that ambiguous but intense CLAMP way.
"Darth Bishie is actually a good guy who was in love with Misty's dad Ashura-o and would do anything for him, and Ashura-o was like ok you can sleep with me but you got to kill the king and then kill me and then eat my remains afterwards to stop a prophecy where my child will destroy everything from happening and Darth Bishie was cool with that..." I really felt like Clamp pulled that "Taishakuten was a good guy all along" twist out of their collective asses. Yeah, they did the same thing in "Rayearth" but in "Rayearth" it fit. You could go back and look at Zagato's actions and everything he did made sense. In "Veda" Taishakuten forces a sick child to sing until she drops dead and then he feeds her corpse to his pets. Good guy my ass. Zagato was cold and aloof but he was never cruel just for the hell of it.
Agreed. The pulled that out of their ass. I don't know if they really thought they could redeem Taishakuten or they were just bored, but yeah, that whole "force a sick little girl to sing until she dies" kind of makes it impossible to say "He's actually a good guy" after. To be fair, good writing was never CLAMP's forte.
Get it, got it, good predates your example with an appearance in the Court Jester (1955) with Danny Kaye. It also has a great bit about a chalice with a place :)
Man, jumping back to the newest videos while still going on a trek through your archive really puts it into sharp perspective how much you've slimmed down.
As a kid I thought one of the many reasons bishonen characters exposed their chests was because it was to tell whether that person was a male or female.
You blew my god damn mind with the "Rig" thing. I legit thought it was "Ar gee" until this very moment and I KNOW THE ORIGINAL MYTH? I just never... put it together?!
And now I have to go watch Lost & Found. I remember loving it back in the 90s and now I have to see if it holds up without the nostalgia glasses on. Thank you for bursting my "Ignorance is Bliss" bubble.
8:24 Don't underestimate the butterfly In Turn A Gundam, there is the Moonlight Butterfly, a system that brought the entire world back to the stone age. The Butterfly Effect movie (bad example) Like Simpsons said, "No one expects the butterfly..."
Wow, this anime... So I guess back in the 90's there was a company that released single episodes of anime and whatnot on CD-ROMs (licences, not bootlegged as far as I can tell). I had one with the first OVA of this in crappy early Quicktime quality. I watched it several times and even brought it to my computer class in Middle School. Good times.
I remember this one! It was my first anime purchase way back when (and yes, I was distracted by the pretty cover art). I thought at the time that maybe I only was watching a part two out three deal and missing something, or didn’t understand anime. I found out soon enough it was just crap and never played it again.
sorry, i have to... "Get it/Got it/Good" is from the Court Jester... it's a portion of the movie that's very quick worded and is actually a part of several conversations.. " get it?" "got it!" "good! *they go in opposite directions*" sincerely funny movie featuring welsh goddess glynis johns, angela lansbury, danny kaye znd others...
Have you thought of reviewing Guyver 2: Dark Hero? Guyver 2 has something that the anime (& possibly the manga as well) doesn't have, a Guyver Zoanoid.
"RG Veda" (without an "i") is actually a common way to transliterate the title of the original Sanskrit sacred text into English, so that actually isn't an innovation of the anime. I don't know why this is, just that I've seen versions of the text in English with that same title.
6:30 We found Anime Waboo! 16:37 What, is she becoming a daimon... with the THX sound effect? ...Oh wait, now I know why they used that: THX The Princess Is Now Dead
1] I was expecting a "mighty Monarch" reference with the butterfly attact! 2] THx sound effect... that was just tits funny! Thank you for the review sage!
Poor CLAMP, they've made so much great work too. And the new Cardcaptor Sakura is turning out sweet so far. 18:40 I have a good idea after recently getting through every second of Endless Eight
I really would like to know what you think about Chobits, I really love it and can't really pinpoint why, I don't think it's actually great but I still absolutely love it which is kinda weird.
I have fond memories of RG Veda. It was one of the first anime I ever saw and I think I benefited from seeing the subtitled version instead of the dub. Honestly never noticed all the things you pointed out, but back then I liked pretty much any anime I could get my hands on.
Hey, if I'm not mistaken, the "get it, got it, good" line was originally from The Court Jester. If you haven't seen it, I definitely recommend you check it out, even if it does fall prey to a little of the fanfare of the era it was created. Anyway, always a pleasure to see you reviews.
I remember reading the first volume of RG Veda and having no idea what was happening, and then I never read the rest of it. Also I'm sorry if someone mentioned this already, but I remember reading somewhere - either in the Anime Encyclopedia or in the RG Veda manga - that the font they used for the title in Japan threw off the translators and they didn't read there was an "i" in the title. I don't know if that's for real, especially if that info came from the Anime Encyclopedia because that was wrong about a lot of other stuff (did you know Yugi's dad got reincarnated as a pegasus in YuGiOh? Well apparently he did according to that thing!)
Is it just me or is the main Villain played by Crispin Freeman? (voice of Alucard in Hellsing, Hellsing Ultimate, and probably other shows and characters I don’t know about.)
All I can think when I see purple butterflies now is Miraculous, and he even mentions ladybugs. Is Sage intentionally making that connection or is the coincidence strong with this one?
I don't know about you, but I much prefer an off screen omniscient narrator exposing me the stakes of the story, than the antagonist infodumping something he and his interlocutor know since they have taken function zZz I mean, is it something really difficult to implement? All they have to do is hire a supplementary Seiyuu as the narrator, doing his speech as still images or random sceneries are panning. Wow. Exposition bunny problem solved =o
In turn, Sage, David Spade stole that "get it, got it, good" line from Danny Kaye in "The Court Jester." That little spat between MurderMom and Misty set me up, and then *unexpected THX happens.* Holy shit, this anime, man XD
I should note that butterflies in some mythologies are considered vessels of the spirits of the dead, so you could interpret that as the butterflies being the ghosts of Broody's hometown that have come to take him away
Except that isn't what happen. Also whole execution was ridiculous. It is not that butterflies can't be scary but that it look almost like a comedy sketch here.
Bart Simpson was right, "No one will suspect the butterflies!"
CLAMP's best kept secret, one of the original 11 creators was really just rob liefeld in a wig.
Is it me or in every single CLAMP manga there is always a perpetually smiling bishie who really likes to keep his eyes closed?
"Get it, got it, good." Is from The Court Jester, starring Danny Kaye. (circa 1955) *tips fedora*
Thexsoar the Bearded Thank You! I love that movie!
Though, in fairness, that line in the Court Jester was between two people, while the version in Lost and Found was just one guy.
Fedora or Trilby?
What a gentleman.
@@blixer8384 1955? Fedora.
"It's a January anime."
A Janume, if you will.
Oh god! Misty isn't the only one here!
Ash (Veronica Taylor) is the lonely princess
and Brock (Eric Stuart) is the shoulderpad buzzcut!
Also, Crispin Freeman is in here!
"with fond memories of eating each other's buttholes."
Iceteague1 woohoo! I knew that villains voice sounded familiar!
Everyone has to get their start somewhere.
Chris Chen One must learn to crawl if one must learn to fly.
CLAMP eh? I just can't decide whether to either make a xxxHolic reference, or ask if Bennet just laid an egg
xxxHolic was good, but I'm interested in how their "universe" is connected with other Clamp shows.
Sage’s egg child has the Stand “Charmy Green”
I believe this anime would've had good potential if it were more based on the original manga instead of starting and ending right in the middle.

I was certain you edited in the THX sound for comedic purposes. I cannot believe that's the actual audio.
Razor Jack me too. I thought the same.
Don’t you just love that kind of complete and total incompetence
I thought the same. I am absolutely dumbfounded, and I can't get over it. WOW!
I thought the same thing
The soundtrack is lit 🔥
Get nick cage in on this. Not the butterflies not the butterflies!!
Jojo fans in the audience, may I offer you an egg in this trying time...?
Robbie Norris never getting that review, dude...
Wings of Prophecy
_thank fuck..._
Robbie Norris not a JoJo fan?
Wings of Prophecy ... I thought we were talking about CLAMP Wonderland...
@@propheci yeah Blackheartzero doesn't dislike Jojo, they were commenting about an "egg" because Clamp, the same creator as this anime, once made a Jojo's Fan Manga that involves Kakyoin and Josuke being a couple and raising a child from an egg together... yes.
I thought you added the movie sound effect as a joke. I couldn't have imagined they would have been stupid enough to use that effect themselves
Knives from Trigun is probably watching the butterfly scene going "Huh. Maybe I was wrong about killing the spiders to protect the butterflies."
Did you seriously put a FernGully clip in there?
Nice.
HOLD ON Bennet are you telling me you didnt add the THX sound effect as the Queen tried to murder her daughter/son with a hatesplosion?
I know it is a year old but yea i look it up it is real and i still don’t know how they did it.
First thing that came to mind when he mentioned CLAMP: "Kakyoin did you lay this egg?"
Angus Booth LMAO 😂😭😂
If that was cannon I'd actually read Jojo
I do like that Sage acknowledges that the fault comes in the anime ADAPTATION into a shortened OVA format (and a lazy one at that) rather than the story itself in manga or the story in and of itself. As a CLAMP fan, even with all the CLAMP cliches and foibles, all I can say is thanks, Sage!
Is Darth Bishie voiced by...Crispin Freeman...? ...Oh. ...Oh...nooo... At least they got a bishie to voice the bishie.
gagejoseph91 XD
“Ridiculous armor this side of Warcraft game.” XD
I play wow and some times I question the armor choices people make.
Yeh, oversize shoulder-pads or other restricting yet pointless armor parts, or bikini armor. Outside really light stuff most females wear exact same plates in real life.
Even the God Emperor of Mankind would roll his eyes at these massive shoulder pads.
Intialdragon r p. I. I 9 ..lkkkk
Intialdragon r n. Hacerchilesrellenos
It’s even worse in Overwatch. Neither Pharah or Reinhardt should be able to wear their armor
Give those butterflies the CLAMPS!
5:00 DUDE, Sage...you're not gonna believe this...THOSE pauldrons that guy wears? IS ACTUALLY IN WARCRAFT! AND IS JUST AS RIDICULOUS.
He is the legendary Paldronius.
Even in-game I've never seen shoulder gear that massive! Possibly on one of my gundam models, but that's it!
I remember a villain in one of the Phantasy Star games that wore suspiciously similar pauldrons.
The dub used here is interesting as the one from when I watched this years ago had a very British sounding voice cast. Made the majority of the cast sound much more regal and dignified, it's hard to explain, but overall it felt better than this to my recollection.
Back then though, I swear I thought I was missing episodes before and after what was shown here because everything begins and ends so damn abruptly.
I remember using "get it, got it, good" as a 90's kid. And I never saw that movie.
Cultural osmosis?
hey without jarring CLAMP adaptations, materials for making memes would be scarce today.
Clamp's work is too precious for me to meme
2:25 It's spelled without an 'i' because that's how it's supposed to be spelled. Ṛg Veda. In sanskrit (the language of the Vedas) the 'r' doesn't act as a consonant, but a vowel.

Wait, so you DIDN’T edit in the THX sound effect?
This scene needs to be as talked about as much as Grenade Jockstrap.
Yep!

I just looked up who voices Darth Bishie and I fucking called it! It's Crispin Freeman, everyone's favourite fuckmothering vampire!
That THX self combustion scene was so fucking amazing
17:07
THUD
The audience is now deaf
Pathfinder Savant "TURN IT UP. TURN IT UUUUUPP."
3:47 oh wait I'm sorry I totally missed what this guy was saying because I was gushing over Crispin Freeman's voice.

The Fan Without a Face And the butterfly man is dubbed by Shinji Ikari. XD
The Fan Without a Face don't forget Hawkmoth from Miraculous Ladybug.
Yeah, moths are not actually butterflies but it's a similar ascetic
And that's more of a dub named change. In the original French, his name is Le Papillon, which literally translates to "Butterfly".
for those who want to know more about RG Veda SPOILERS AHEAD: 'Misty' has no gender, Darth Bishie is actually a good guy who was in love with Misty's dad Ashura-o and would do anything for him, and Ashura-o was like ok you can sleep with me but you got to kill the king and then kill me and then eat my remains afterwards to stop a prophecy where my child will destroy everything from happening and Darth Bishie was cool with that, the prophecy more or less happened anyway, and everyone died Shakespeare style except for I guess Misty and Broody who love each other in that ambiguous but intense CLAMP way.
bulaluigi sounds like old school clamp writing alright lol.
funnily enough this is the only CLAMP work where people gain eyes rather than losing/replacing them
"Darth Bishie is actually a good guy who was in love with Misty's dad Ashura-o and would do anything for him, and Ashura-o was like ok you can sleep with me but you got to kill the king and then kill me and then eat my remains afterwards to stop a prophecy where my child will destroy everything from happening and Darth Bishie was cool with that..."

16:35 Killer Queen already touched that girl
....Shouldn't that means the entire OVA just starts over?
I'm surprised you didn't use a ''Venture Bros''/The Monarch-reference for the butterfly attack scene.
Man, jumping back to the newest videos while still going on a trek through your archive really puts it into sharp perspective how much you've slimmed down.
Uh saying "Get it?Got it? Good"
Wasn't from a david spade movie its just what people say when they don't give someone time to answer..
Like...duh...
Bested by butterflies...
Mauled by trees.
I think... "Get it. Got it. Good." is also from a TMNT live action movie, though I must say I don't know which if any movie said it first.
As a kid I thought one of the many reasons bishonen characters exposed their chests was because it was to tell whether that person was a male or female.
Did you lay this egg
you lost weight dude, looking healthy!
You blew my god damn mind with the "Rig" thing. I legit thought it was "Ar gee" until this very moment and I KNOW THE ORIGINAL MYTH? I just never... put it together?!
Thoughts on Devilman crybaby?
Salokin it’s great and hope it gets a physical English release.
Watch his reaction on twitter. Not a good sign.
it looks like a flash animation lol
Physical is the way to go!

And now I have to go watch Lost & Found. I remember loving it back in the 90s and now I have to see if it holds up without the nostalgia glasses on. Thank you for bursting my "Ignorance is Bliss" bubble.
Best use of the THX sound ever
8:24
Don't underestimate the butterfly
In Turn A Gundam, there is the Moonlight Butterfly, a system that brought the entire world back to the stone age.
The Butterfly Effect movie (bad example)
Like Simpsons said, "No one expects the butterfly..."
XXXHolic & Magic Knight Rayearth are also clamp classics....if I recall correctly
No one ever suspects the butterfly.
Wow, this anime...
So I guess back in the 90's there was a company that released single episodes of anime and whatnot on CD-ROMs (licences, not bootlegged as far as I can tell). I had one with the first OVA of this in crappy early Quicktime quality. I watched it several times and even brought it to my computer class in Middle School. Good times.
I remember this one! It was my first anime purchase way back when (and yes, I was distracted by the pretty cover art). I thought at the time that maybe I only was watching a part two out three deal and missing something, or didn’t understand anime. I found out soon enough it was just crap and never played it again.
I love that Misty someshow survives a stabbing AND an explosion.
5:57-6:09 Oh wow, Joey Wheeler is in this anime.
sorry, i have to... "Get it/Got it/Good" is from the Court Jester... it's a portion of the movie that's very quick worded and is actually a part of several conversations..
" get it?"
"got it!"
"good! *they go in opposite directions*"
sincerely funny movie featuring welsh goddess glynis johns, angela lansbury, danny kaye znd others...

Surprising to hear some familiar voice actors in this show.
Have you thought of reviewing Guyver 2: Dark Hero? Guyver 2 has something that the anime (& possibly the manga as well) doesn't have, a Guyver Zoanoid.

THX
The Princess Is Now Dead
Ask linkara, he's seen enough of Rob's "artwork" to tell if he had a hand in it.
8:24 - 8:32 is a good gif for when someone says something batshit ridiculous.
When ever i think of Clamp, i can only think of Kakyoin laying a egg.
7:27 When you get your a$$ handed to you by Lv. 1 mobs, it's time to wear the bag of shame.
7:27 IT WAS THE BUTTERFULY, I TELL YOU!!! THE BUTTERFLY!!!!
1] I was expecting a "mighty Monarch" reference with the butterfly attact!
2] THx sound effect... that was just tits funny!
Thank you for the review sage!
Yes! I had the VHS, I was hoping you’d review this one day.
"I hope you reincarnate when you die. I'd come back as a butterfly"
"Why's that?"
"Because... nobody expects the BUTTERFLY!"
8:00 The Monarch from Venture Bros begs to differ on butterflies not being scary.
Damn it Sage, I started drinking when you pulled out that Simpson's clip.
I almost died!
Poor CLAMP, they've made so much great work too. And the new Cardcaptor Sakura is turning out sweet so far. 18:40 I have a good idea after recently getting through every second of Endless Eight
When you said dull I was thinking you might do the Heroic Legend of Prince Arislan. To date the only anime I have ever fallen asleep to.
I really would like to know what you think about Chobits, I really love it and can't really pinpoint why, I don't think it's actually great but I still absolutely love it which is kinda weird.
I have fond memories of RG Veda. It was one of the first anime I ever saw and I think I benefited from seeing the subtitled version instead of the dub. Honestly never noticed all the things you pointed out, but back then I liked pretty much any anime I could get my hands on.
Goddamn, 40k Space Marines have more practical pauldrons than that guy!
This is actually an anime from my childhood. I loved it then and I love it now.
When will you review Zone of the Enders 2167 Idolo and Dolores I.
One of those characters kinda sound like Joey Wheeler in a Fantasy MMORPG... Oh wait... that happened in Yu-Gi-Oh!
Could somebody tell me what anime the guys with the bowling ball like masks and the bloody jackets come from? its been bugging me for ages.
Hey, if I'm not mistaken, the "get it, got it, good" line was originally from The Court Jester. If you haven't seen it, I definitely recommend you check it out, even if it does fall prey to a little of the fanfare of the era it was created.
Anyway, always a pleasure to see you reviews.
I remember reading the first volume of RG Veda and having no idea what was happening, and then I never read the rest of it.
Also I'm sorry if someone mentioned this already, but I remember reading somewhere - either in the Anime Encyclopedia or in the RG Veda manga - that the font they used for the title in Japan threw off the translators and they didn't read there was an "i" in the title. I don't know if that's for real, especially if that info came from the Anime Encyclopedia because that was wrong about a lot of other stuff (did you know Yugi's dad got reincarnated as a pegasus in YuGiOh? Well apparently he did according to that thing!)
Is it just me or is the main Villain played by Crispin Freeman? (voice of Alucard in Hellsing, Hellsing Ultimate, and probably other shows and characters I don’t know about.)
Torias Lamp It is since this a central park media dub I presume.
All I can think when I see purple butterflies now is Miraculous, and he even mentions ladybugs. Is Sage intentionally making that connection or is the coincidence strong with this one?
THX the sound of nightmares.
I don't know about you, but I much prefer an off screen omniscient narrator exposing me the stakes of the story, than the antagonist infodumping something he and his interlocutor know since they have taken function zZz
I mean, is it something really difficult to implement? All they have to do is hire a supplementary Seiyuu as the narrator, doing his speech as still images or random sceneries are panning. Wow. Exposition bunny problem solved =o
Wait there were only two episodes? I feel like I just played Ground Zeros without ever getting the Phantom Pain
Can we get a counting gag for all the times counting gags have been used on this show?
In turn, Sage, David Spade stole that "get it, got it, good" line from Danny Kaye in "The Court Jester."
That little spat between MurderMom and Misty set me up, and then *unexpected THX happens.* Holy shit, this anime, man XD
do the old Heroic Legend of Arslan next, Bennett
since this episode is all about CLAMP,are you gonna review the magic knight rayearth OVA,Bennett?
"And put on a shirt with sleeves, if ya got one, Romeo!" Master Shake to Carl, on Aqua Teen Hunger Force.
I'm a big fan of your work, I can't wait to see the next episode. Also have you lost weight? I was just curious
Anime Pulse did Sage just referenced an anime podcast show at 11:20.
17:01 I thought you added the movie opening sound effect
Get It Got It Good is originally from the Danny Kaye movie The Court Jester
i love that anime, i grow up with it
