I never Red-a-Kai I didn't hate.
A quickie to help fill the time, this is the hardcover investor pitch bible for the Marathon/Spin Master show "Redakai".
The show was...not very good, and some of the rot is clear to see in this book.
The little French-Canadian anime that couldn't.
It just occurred to me after all these years that "Redakai" sounds like "red" and the Japanese word "akai" (red, as an adjective) thrown together... Redred.
There's a hill that, if you translate its name through the different languages it's amalgamated from, is named "Hill Hill Hill Hill."
And the game's main color scheme is gold and black. Hm.
@@Shenaldrac oh this i need to look up.
.
Edit: okay! According to Wikipedia this is true! It's called Torpenhow Hill, in Cumbria, England.
Akared from super Sentai would like to talk to you.
Ultraman Orb Dark Noir Black Shwarz from Ultraman R/B as well
Oh, yes. Your old arch-enemy.
I still remember your two part beatdown from back then...
"If you give a character flaws then they might act unheroically" well ky didn't get any flaws and he's unheroic as frick
It's doubly annoying about Ky because 'too talented,' if handled correctly, can lead to some really good character or interactions, like trying to coast by on all talent and little practice and having that not work, or needing a few ego prickings to ground him in reality, or having him meet a younger character with even more raw talent than him and being required to come to terms with that. There's things you can do with a character being too talented, but it's gotta have other stuff to back it up and make it interesting!
Ah yes, the Redakai bible. Finally the First Church of Redakai can begin.
Just a tip for any up and coming authors/entertainment creators: NEVER create flawless characters. They make for a very boring viewing experience since they don't grow and instead remain static. RWBY is a prime example of this, and how after Season 3 most of the main cast has yet to grow into something more; aside from Weiss who's thrown away her racist mindset. In fact, they've devolved into being morons at times when they shouldn't be. I'm not saying they have to be a jerk all the way through, but give them something that'll allow them to grow during the story.
Oh no you pointed out RWBY's bad writing, the Rooster Teeth fans are gonna come crucify you
another rwby criticiser... NICE
On the other hand, there is effective ways to have a character not grow and still be interesting. You are right that if they are not going to grow they need flaws that are interesting.
Or be Uncle Iroh from Avatar.
That shit's usually pushed by focus groups and clueless execs who just want the next Mickey Mouse and don't give a damn about whatever you wanted your story to be.
Not that there aren't bad writers who do write such boring characters, but still.
Static characters are fine, it's just flawless ones that are not, Goku is a good static character.
I just realized how Redakai is just a crappy shonen card game version of the Persona games.
You know a persona trading card game sounds kinda awesome with all the arcana theme going on hell we already have a card back
How?, plus I love persona it's way better than redakai hell anything is better than redakai
I agree kohdok, team imperiaz should be the main characters
Well, i'll give the pitch bible one thing: it "sold" the show to me, a person who has never seen it. If i start getting deja vu and doubting my own claim that i have never seen the show, then it has put an implied vision of said show in my head, and i can say that i am not disappointed that i never saw it with your commentary to help color the perspective.
Historian here, your assesment of Indiana Jones is mistaken, he isn't interested in preserving the sites he plunders at all, and as you mentioned in his words "it belongs in a museum" shows how little regard Indy actually had for the archeological work and was solely focused on the artifacts.
A proper archeologist would have been much more interested in preserving the intricate boulder trap mechanism than in taking the golden artifact that it was protecting.
In a Museum as opposed to destroyed, put in a private collection, or winding up in the hands of a foul regime.
I'm just wondering how and where did you come into possession of this? By where, I mean the type of store you picked this up at.
Hey random Redakai question. I just got back from watching a Redakai clip that was in the recommended videos, and one thing that stood out to me was that when the characters talk about the attacks they use, they say things like "star smash attack" and "freeze ray attack" instead of simply "star smash" and "freeze ray." Do you know if there's any reason they end their attack names with "attack?" Was it some weird legal issue because the attack names were so generic? Because Chaotic has attack names that are about as generic as these but few if any end with "attack."
They used attack cards in the game, right? Probably using that term so the kids recall that when they look at target shelves
Kohdok talks about Keforge for a bit when?
Sin #6. It's coming.
@@Kohdok Looking forward to it
@@Kohdok hi
“All characters have flaws, the difference is if the writers know the flaws or not”
Redakai; now that's a name I haven't heard in ages.
This channel is pure trip to childhood memory lane
Hey! Not sure if you heard or saw but the Digimon 2020 card game is getting translated to English! Was wondering if you were doing a video on it once it's on shelves and sharing you're thoughts on the quality of the import?! Thanks for the content!
Hope you can put it online as a pdf file for us to read.
"Small text, big picture"
Immediately made me chuckle as the implication is that the big, bad corporate investors are too lazy/inept to read and need the pages to be 80% drawings or photos, like a goddam 4 year old.
I think it's a lot less about intelligence and a lot more about how much easier it is to write good text than it is to make striking and impactful visuals. If you were an investor for television you'd probably rather give money to a project that looks like a comic book instead of one that looks like a novel. That's the nature of the beast with animated show development.
@@Shoobster Exactly. Visual medium, visual pitch.
A RWBY mention in a Redakai video?! Definitely wasn't expecting that haha
Just recently changed this channel's name bc I felt like doing so but it's awesome to hear you talk about Redakai once again! I was quite young when it came out but I loved it so much.
I'm excited to hear you talk about the Kairu Cube. If I remember correctly it was because of me that the commercial for it was saved because I made a review on it lol. Also this video was an absolute treat since I always love seeing behind the scenes stuff.
you should take a look at the OG Bakugan pitch bible if you can get your hands on it.
Excellent video! What a find, I’m astonished! Thanks for sharing it!
Redakai was short lived, not perfect but I miss it 😞
It certainly did some visually and mechanically interesting stuff. Unfortunately putting it in to practice showed the glaring flaws with what it was going for.
I just like the cards
@@Scalesthelizardwizard same here
That is a really cool item, as a kid i liked this show but as of now i don't remember much just a couple scenes and stuff here and there.
Didn't princess diara acted like a snob in the show? Looking at this bible i find team imperiaz has such an amazing designs and now I'm interested in finding more about (i know it'll probably be disappointing but I'll judt make stuff up in my head to like them)
Didn't the main characters meditate you would think they would do like yin yang kind of approach to the characters.
This show the designs stuck with me i found them unique that's why i even remember it and the setting/backgrounds of the show i enjoyed but it's sad to hear this show fails at being good the heros aren't great and i believe it from what i remember.
I only have 2 cards princess diara and energy whip lash but i never bought any of the stuff as a kid, got these 2 cards like 2017 kind of free online
I don't agree with many of the things you said about the pitch bible from a production stand point. Imho you always need more partners and people to invest money or people to actually implement your ideas/to whom you give the money from investors, so even if you have something in production already you might need then to cover everything else (i.e., you have the cartoon, you need now the toys/card games, etc.)
That's some rare stuff. Thank you for sharing!
If I remeber kay and other team mates suffer the consequences of releasing destruction.
Wow it looks great in paper.
I just wish I could see the production trailer... T__T
Is that Jett Kuso on the cover?
Kohdok: I don't swear at all in my videos
Also Kohdok: **Says hell in his life decking video**
some people don't consider hell a curse word
@@Scalesthelizardwizard Yeah, but TH-cam does.
@@aezogeus true
This is not aibo silvolf made an error!!!
I think Im gonna Exit the Kairu. :n
Is it possible for you to review a homemade TCG that's still in development?
Why does it surprise me you watch hbomberguy?

Referencing Hbomberguy? Big yikes!
