    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

    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. :)

    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!

    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.

      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.

    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.

Kaori Yuki is another amazing author-angel sanctuary for me. Today's anime is too predictable and superficially flat and aimless.

    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._

The manga itself wasn't perfect (In particular there were parts of the ending that felt derivative of "Magic Knight Rayearth", which was started after "Vega" but concluded first.) but this was just a hack job. I don't even know why they bothered since they clearly didn't give a shit.

    11:42 I just realized: we don't just have Misty's VA as sword girl, but May's VA as lonely girl... oh, Joey from Yugioh is here too 6:29... and that's pretty much all I got. Man, that was boring.

    Oh God does this anime mishandle the source material. RG Veda is this epic, larger-than-life tragedy where almost everyone has their own motivations and it's a dramatic (probably overdramatic even) tale of love, revenge and trying to defy destiny. It's by no means perfect but it's better than this turd - what was even the point of this? To newcomers it's incomprehensible and boring and to fans it's degrading and stupid. What. The. Hell.

    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..."

  • @markwillows5722
    @markwillows5722 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    "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.

    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

    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.

    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.)
