I make videos about anime, mostly older titles, and help explain cultural and historical context, as well as analyze their themes. My older work is a bit more satirical than I tend to work these days, but I still can have a bit of a snarky edge if the title calls for it.
Let's explore anime's history together!

Kimera: Gay Space Vampires (ANIME ABANDON)
It's the touching story of boy meets boy, who turns out to be an alien, who turns out to be a vampire meant to breed humanity out of existence. A tale as old as time.

Neon Genesis Evangelion: The Story Of An Otaku
zhlédnutí 22KPřed 5 měsíci
When I released the two part Evangelion episode back during the summer of 2022, I had intended for it to be one, massively long episode. However, due to production issues and real life commitments, I had to split the episode into two parts. I finally squared away some time to edit the two part series into the one, singular, focused episode I always wanted to make. Once again, thank you all. 0:0...

There were never gonna be more Big O episodes. They knew they were done with 26.
oh, bennet I haven't even started watching this ep and already you're wearing your darkest hoodie with flowers shootin out your ears 0:15. Anime what hath thou done.... AGAIN?!!
A good movie to watch absolutely plastered as you will have a fun time
5:02 what the actual hell
'Nobody remembers what it was like it 190X' Uh...yea people may not be alive from that time, but we're pretty sure there wasn't an apocalypse and a guy that could explode people with punches Man even before modern Sage became the personification of pretentious, he was saying stupid crap with confidence even back here.
Latest news: The mangaka of Eiken gave his blessing for a publisher to remake the manga....in AI.
That little interaction at the very beginning of the video makes me miss Gabe so much! I hope he's doing well! God bless that man! And Sage...of course!😅
I watched these episodes probably 3 to 4 times over. You can clearly see a growth in Sage's craft. You Better Keep Going, Bennet.❤
13:41 love this
The "Algorithm," face it, it's a bunch of pedo blue hairs at YT deciding these things, asked me about you. I told them to shove the F off.
Whoa!!! I randomly clicked on this video just now, June 28, 2024. 😳
Adapting this manga into a film that runs under two hours is like trying to do the same things with LOTR (the whole trilogy) or Anna Karenina or War and Peace. 😅
This is why I don’t watch someone criticize my favorite movie
"Or perhaps Kaitaro is the sort of kinkmaster that gets off on savage beatings", right, so, I read the manga and watch the anime of this thing when I was a teenager and....yeah, I honestly think you got it in one Suave. Kaitaro, when presented with girls that DON'T beat the shit out of him...tends to ignore them. I think that Keitaro honestly is a closeted masochist.
21:28 Zac Effron?? no take it from me, thats not him
You know the Darkstalkers American cartoon might have been bad but at least it wasn’t boring like this thing was.
He does not look like a fan of GITS LOL Nearly all GITS content was amazing before ARISE reboot who was Meh.
I think you make a lot of good points about the anime, and the idea of ADV’s erasure of its LGBTQ aspects. it is interesting to look at these kind of series and try to judge them based on the value of how good or bad they are and ask if it matters if what adv did was right or even necessary. I think ultimately it doesn’t matter how good or bad or how well-known something is. It should be remembered how it originally was. It kinda reminds me of hbomberguys video on plagiarism the whole last hour and a half. I look forward to your Trigun video been watching your channel very long time and I look forward to your revisit.
mad house made this animation, huh, they would move on to do the marvel anime shows, guess they have a thing for superheroes
This is in my top five anime series of all time. Anyone who compared Outlaw Star to Cowboy Bebop is being disingenuous; it's like the idiots that compare Star Wars to Star Trek; they shouldn't be in the gene pool.
i hate they cancelled this show.
I had this movie on VHS and it was pretty good
Just as scary as Species with combination of Hellraiser, Evil Dead and The Fly, I can imagine if Urotsukidoji get a crossover with the following: Ash Williams of Evil Dead, Sil of Species, Aliens and Predators, Doom, Hellraiser, Freddy Krueger, Splatterhouse, Devil May Cry, The Boys and Gen V, Watchmen, Suicide Squad with Peacemaker, Hellboy, Spawn, Pennywise, Mortal Kombat, X-Men, Blade, Selene of Underworld, League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Invincible with Ommi Man, Genocyber, The Fly, Gremlins, Critters, Toxic Avenger, Ghost Rider
I never watched KiKaider because I hated the character design.
Thumbs up for KMFDM Ultra!!!
I wished they made more of escaflowne honestly and hitomi i wished she stayed with vann , hope they get back to escaflowne
I cant get over how much the wizard queen in this dub sounds like the Queen in "The Forbidden Zone"
Oh hey kamen rider shin
I'm gonna be real. If this was gonna be it, then the ending where a kung fu master defeats Man's hubruis via the power of love is prefable form the bullshit of V Gundam.
Cyborg 009 Was Better - Infinitely so, too.
After over half a decade, I went back and watched this show again, and it's *still* amazing. Bennett, you're just a basic bitch with your head buried in your own ass so far that you can't understand anything at all.
The part about the captain being over 200 years old and having left the world he knew behind, and his speech about it, really brings to mind the filk song Pushing The Speed Of Light, about a young man who goes on a relativistic ship and discovers the world moved on while he was gone, and everyone he knew and loved is dead and gone. His fascination with space travel has him sign up for another run, and then he keeps going because the world of the ship and its crew is the only familiar thing he has left, as everything has changed every time he arrives at his destination. He has children on multiple planets and because of relativity he's still relatively young while he watches his children grow elderly and die, and becomes completely alienated from the rest of humanity except for his crewmates, who experience it along with him.
Randomly thought about this movie today, don’t know why. Decided to look up a video essay. Probably looking at it through nostalgia glasses, but I love it. Is it the greatest ever, would I even recommend it to others, most likely no, but nostalgia isn’t rational. I love this movie, and I’m happy that you talked about it. Several years late, but I hope you have a lovely day and you’re doing well!
9 years late but this show rocks. It's one of my favorites lol
3:05-3:06 "The internet would like to forget Buzz Bunny, Motherf***er." Mega Babies (The Tremblay brothers' much worse creation): Hold our bottles.
I'm commenting to support a channel I've been watching since the 3rd Anime Abandon
Bebop is overrated. Change my mind.
I've been left with a question since I first saw this review. who the fuck is Red Brown?
No need for a genius was the first episode I’d ever seen. I was hooked immediately ❤️
City Hunter the show is great. Random story cash grab movie? Nah😬. This is like the DBZ Lord Slug of City Hunter content😮💨.
@bennettthesage are you ok buddy?
what you said about sexiness and sleeziness, that stuff would fall on deaf ears when it comes to site managers
My favourite CZcams channel
I watched this as a young teenager or so, and i absolutely loved it. All the pieces didnt need to make cohesive sense, I grew on up 90s cartoons, most cartoons had plenty of plot holes. Even if there's plenty of holes in the plot, i still love it. That part where he brings the homing missiles back to the one guy was one of the best scenes. This was back when I was introduced to vampire hunter D and robot carnival. So many good times!
Looks like I’ll have to watch a let’s play (if that’s possible)
I remember watching this and wondering if it had a sequel. Then I heard about Ninja Resurrection . . . I was very unhappy watching that.
This isn't the Isekai ending that we didn't want.
23:02 ARRRRRRRRRRGH!!!😫
What happened to the Gall Force episode?
