Honestly, there is an interesting line they could have persued with this version of Jean calling Yu 'soft'. It's not equating 'strength' and 'resiliance' to a willingness to kill, but being able to keep yourself in check and do the job. Yu gave into his personal pain and grief (which was, y'know, f***ing vast so understandable), and killed their only lead when he could have been taken alive for questioning. (Side note it's kind of weird that manga Jean kills Fatman... pretty much to kill him. Yu isn't being soft in saying 'lets get intel from the one who is still alive.') But overall that also sets up room for growth and choices. Are you the terrifified and angry child left in the jungle, or are you the Spriggan doing what it takes to keep the world from suffering that same fate? Asking is Yu truly ready to do this job if he's going to lose his mind when his pain resurfaces?
O M G … That connection to the release date … WOW. That makes at least three features from Japan that got messed up because of that September Morning. The other two are Metropolis & Spider-Man (SONY) I fell in love with Spriggan because of my longtime interest in the “Ancient World” material. Born in ‘69, my dad raised me on the stuff- with Raiders & BattleStar Galactica in support. Never read the manga, tho.
That Sasami intro at the beginning brought back memories that I wasn’t even aware that I had, and made my heart sink a little. Man, I miss that era of anime.
I remember seeing this on the Sci-Fi Channel back in the day. In my head it's always been linked to similar obscure Sci-Fi anime movies like "Green Legend Ran", "E.Y.E.S. of Mars", and "Iria: Zeiram the animation."
Green Legend Ran and Ira are top tier. Also, Lily CAT, Eight Man After. I also remember crap shows they did like Lensman and Venus Wars... BTW, Amazon has a lot of them streaming...
Just found your channel and have been marathoning old Kyoto Video episodes for the past week or so... and am thrilled to catch a new episode this early on. Even if it's effin' Spriggan.
Animation that good going to waste (not seeing the film) = severe penalty (physical). This is school masterclass for future generations right here, animation wise
Speaking as someone who never saw it, When you started talking about Spriggan 1998, I legitimately though the footage was from the new version, it looks that good.
talent has no time period, I might say that despite the new tech, Warner Disney would not be able to replicate a movie like Roger Rabbit today (all the characters they drew for the 100th anniversary and the visit of the studio to see all Disney's past animation comming back to life, most character are very off model almost as bad as cheap direct to DVD sequels from the end of the 90's)
I'll never understand why people think that streaming services are an alternative to physical media. If anything, streaming services are just like broadcast, and cable channels. They only keep movies, and TV shows on the air for A certain length of time depending of who owns said media, or when the contract is up, and once it's gone from the schedule, it's gone for however long it stays gone until the network decides to bring it back, or if another network picks it up. With physical media, YOU own it, and YOU can watch it whenever you want. So these big companies need to realize that shows airing exclusively on streaming services should get physical release so that people who love said shows can buy them if they don't want to invest their time, or money on streaming services because who knows how long it may stay in 'Netflix Prison'. I'd like to say it holds true for digital media, but I've heard stories of certain platforms remove movies, and shows due to licenses not being renewed on them, forcing you to buy them again. So yeah, buy physical media, or sail the high seas.
I personally just treat streaming like I did with rental stores of old. I rent this stuff for a day and give it back after a while. Then after I see if I like it or not, that's when I buy the disc and have it. I am kind of doing that for Full metal panic and am going to do that for some other anime.
I think Spriggan Movie is 7/10 like Goblin Slayer only with much much better Animation Anyone can watch this movie without any problems and enjoy the experience this is a good movie.
Spriggan is nothing like Goblin Slayer. For one thing, it wasn't relying on only shock factor as its only redeeming quality. Also its source material is more interesting.
Excellent video. Only a correction: the game Lunar Verse is not an adaptation of the movie plot or any narrative arc of the manga, but a totally new story set after the final chapter with another rookie Spriggan replacing Yu Ominae as the main character.
From this, visually it was still worth it (and I will be tracking down a copy). Pop on some Zillatron, be awed at the visuals, and just let the pictures tell you everything you need to know.
i think it's kinda funny that kaiser predicted that other streaming services would remove their own content and that's what disney did just one year later.
@@KaiserBeamz Thank you SOOOOOOOO much!! I've watched every one of your videos and the intro never gets skipped. I'm learning Japanese and even tried to type the lyrics into Google...it didn't help, like, at all. I appreciate this a lot!
@@KaiserBeamz KB can you please advise what the clip from the intro is at 9 secs of the car going down the highway towards the city at night? been wanting to know since i first saw your vids months ago - i don't watch much anime and am only interested in older anime anyway so don't watch any other anime youtubers but i simply cannot see how any other youtubers who make anime vids could compare to your output, your kyoto video series has provided me with so much great watches, seriously top notch content thank you for all the work and effort you put into them and covering all the anime that you do with them 🙏
I remember watching the movie like a year before netflix announced the reboot. And I went through the same thought process like... Why do people doesn't talk about this movie?... Then when I saw the netflix reboot I got kinda hyped but after watching chapter one I was pretty disappointed like... Same story with GITS 2045 and I'm not daring giving Trigun stampede a try cause the original is my favourite show ever and I don't want that name to become bittersweet in my memory. The thing is... Old Spriggan is really cool if you didn't know about it but it can't stand next to the "big ones" so yeah... If I had to say something is, don't waste your time watching bad remakes, there are a lot of hidden cool stuff to watch. Hopefully that will be enough to make a change in this stupid tendency
Side rant- quite a few people I know don't have reliable enough access for streaming, so unless it is released on physical media, they ain't seeing it. Especially now, when a DVD release is pennies on the dollar, that streaming services would cut themselves off from a possible revenue stream because it might compete with a streaming service that is losing money kinda marks the stupidity of the age. Streaming bubble here we come.
Spriggan was an odd little movie when it came out. It was released in the US by ADV around 2001/02 and Viz released the manga a little earlier. With only 3 Volumes at the time, left little material to research and your only left with the movie. Now, I gave it a chance,the but I struggled with those ugly character designs that made things hard to watch. The story was good but if you weren't invested, your gonna be wishing more was here
why do you say american audiences don't appreciate it and why do you think its a masterpiece given the criticisms that have been levelled at it? (i've not seen it but really want to, i'm drawn in by the gorgeous animation)
@@Tom-qo4mz Please watch it. Every action movie could be criticized by the "simplistic plot". And even if falls short in the character development thing...who needs that (Alien = great movie practically without character dev.). But, just watch it, its not only "the animation", every scene is very carefully planned and drawn
@@framehunter7865 o i definitely will, i've got a link but also got a lot of anime to get through first so am going to wait in the hopes that a remastered version might appear on blu ray at some point because i'd love to see it in proper HD, but as it is yes i watched a clip of a(n action) scene yesterday and it looked incredible so definitely looking forward to it
Not masterpiece. I mean the writing really screwed over the characters motivations. It's unfortunate cause the animation is amazing. I really wanna watch the movie for appreciation.
I think I had heard of Spriggan at some point before I finally saw it. Snagged the dvd when a local video store closed it's doors. On the one hand I wish I had grabbed more of their anime, but a store display of Rally Vincent was too cool for a Gunsmith Cats fanboy like myself to pass up.
Holy fuck the German voice actors are so much better than the english speaking ones. I'm an anime "noob", having only watched classics, and not even all of them, but this movie i recorded on vhs when i was like 12. This and DBZ are my "foundation", and i've always been influenced by that glorious 90's animation quality that was Spriggan. I've come back to the medium, only to start with things like Gunsmith Cats, GiTS, Evangelion, Cowboy Bepop, Armor Hunter Mellowlink, Appleseed, and now i've come full circle to this. Still have that vhs tape. Gotta digitize it or buy a dvd.
Because story and animation counts more than flashy dross and boring story. There's a reason Terminator keeps getting remade. A 1980s film is better than 2020's film. Same goes for the animation.
Funny how the original storyline is based on reality. Pre-Great Flood civilizations were highly advanced, more so in many ways than we are now (though a lot of tech we are familiar with today was also common back then as well) considering their ability to soften and mold stone, create concrete that can last millions of years, build immensely large stone structures with sound lift technology, move around in powerful flying craft called Vimanas, etc. There was also a worldwide nuclear war that obliterated a large amount of the ancient sites, leaving vitrified sand and burnt/melted stone (sites in Indonesia that are millions of years old are still highly radioactive, leading to cancer and birth defeats for those living there). Watch the excellent "Mystery History" channel here on YT for more on these subjects, as well as Ancient Architects. They, and others, do a great job on covering the hidden history modern academia oddly wants the world to ignore. So it seems the creators of "Spriggan" really wanted to convey an aspect of this ancient knowledge in their show. Even OOPARTS (Out-of-Place Artifacts) the world over in real life show how highly advanced our pre-Great Flood ancestors were. It's a shame the movie's storyline was a mess. Totally agree the animation is top notch.
Good review, though I want to point out that the game isn't really an adaptation of the movie, but rather an original story that takes the premise of it with an original MC. Also, Yu is an unlockable character in it.
When you say "it has not even a cult following", you should specify "in the US". In Latin America, where we got most of our anime via the ... "other" routes, distribution, licences and even censoring and such had no big impact. And if you ask any elder millennial anime fan about what they remember watching ages ago you0ll get your standerd Akiras, but also Ninja Scroll, a heap pf obscura stuff we somehow got on tapes that came from god-knows-where, and Spriggan.
What an incredible missed opportunity. If the anime had been more faithful to the story, it would have been downright prescient (at least as far as American viewers are concerned, no doubt everyone outside of the US would have just been "well yeah, duh"). But squandering that team, letting this beautiful animation and really cool premise go to waste - that's so disappointing!
i really want to see this because of how gorgeously animated it looks, but what i want more is to know whether it would be possible (and if it would be, whether someone has already done it) for a fan edit to be produced, cutting out some of the crap and tightening up the 90 mins into something narratively more compelling and coherent, maybe like a 45 min OVA ep (or heck even 30mins if that's all you can get out of it, or 60 mins, i don't care so long as it helps the whole get closer to reaching its potential that the animation quality implies it should have)
Spriggan is AMAZING!!!! just like predator and terminator, it's a good story. Hence why it's remade loads of times. Just that remakes suck because the writers the writers suck. The writers are shiz, you can't polish a shiz, but you can cover it in glitter. X
i just made a reply to another comment asking the same question (re: a fan edit but didn't think about the possibility of a re-dub but that's an interesting idea), i really don't care if it would cut the 90s mins down to 60, 45 or even 30, just so long as something narratively more compelling and coherent could be pulled out and produced to create a whole that matches the potential set by the standard of the animation. i would love to see it if it is possible!
I clearly remember an Anime magazine here in Brazil bashing the Spriggan movie for the exact same reason: fantastic animation and production, but with a terrible story. Maybe it's time for Spriggan to have its redemption with the Netflix adaptation.
I found this movie when I was collecting DvDs, Blurays and Anime at a place that had a small selection of really good anime. I actually have 2 versions. One looks like a chinese release and it's a paperback and the other looks like a regular OVA release with not much information. Surprisingly. The Chinese release had better quality. The other seemed to be a Rip from another source and it lost a bit of quality. Watched it and was confused on why I have never heard of it or how it didn't become a bigger cult classic. The animation alone should've given that status, but nah.
Hardest part of an Anime movie based on a long running Manga, what sort of chapters do you adapt? If someone asked me to do a Movie of Love Hina manga. I would do the first film (assuming that I am only able to do just 1st film because sequels are not guaranteed until success) I would focus on adapting the first two volumes of the Love Hina manga. Focus on characters, getting Keitaro mending his bad first impressions with each female character into something positive. Ending the film with that scene on New Years before the Exams where Keitaro thinks he has failed the prelim exams until he realized that he succeeded to the next round. Leaving up for a possibility of a sequel film being the 3rd volume manga adaptation for the second film.
"support physical media" Seriously cannot shout this loud enough. I've been saying this for AT LEAST 4-5 years now. As for spriggan... It was BORING... I honestly do not remember it, because it was very dull and my girlfriend at the time was more interesting.
My problem with this movie is the character design/Art. It’s fairly generic and uninspiring.. it also duels between the realistic and the Stylized in Simeón conflicting ways, bringing out a terrible sense of uncanny valley.. This is something Films like Akira or Ninja scroll did not suffer of.
The plot of Spriggan kind of sounds like the anime equivalent of a Michael Bay film
to me, its an even more crazy and out there metal gear. and that's saying something, my jaw dropped during the werewolf shit.
Not wrong
Pretty good comparison.
Remember catching this in 2002 at a nearby college's Student Center Theater.
HOLY CRAP YES! SOMEONE IS FINALLY TALKING ABOUT SPRIGGIN!!! LOVED THIS BACK IN THE DAY! 🤩

The Original Spriggan I Loved
I think
Spriggan Movie is 7/10
like Goblin Slayer only with much much better Animation
Anyone can watch this movie without any problems and enjoy the experience
this is a good movie.
Spriggan is nothing like Goblin Slayer. For one thing, it wasn't relying on only shock factor as its only redeeming quality. Also its source material is more interesting.
Colonel Mc.Dougal- Hey Guys! Have you seen Akira anywhere?
Kyoko and the other number kids: Dude, can you feel him? Also, you look very familiar...
The Rurouni Kenshun is now also trying to be reboot. I want to see it
Spriggan's premise on paper should be a worldwide hit it's a shame that the writing couldn't be as good as the animation
ONA, is Original Netflix Animation I'm guessing?
Excellent video. Only a correction: the game Lunar Verse is not an adaptation of the movie plot or any narrative arc of the manga, but a totally new story set after the final chapter with another rookie Spriggan replacing Yu Ominae as the main character.

The other seemed to be a Rip from another source and it lost a bit of quality.
Watched it and was confused on why I have never heard of it or how it didn't become a bigger cult classic. The animation alone should've given that status, but nah.
Review angel cop and megazone23 part 2
Hardest part of an Anime movie based on a long running Manga, what sort of chapters do you adapt?
If someone asked me to do a Movie of Love Hina manga.
I would do the first film (assuming that I am only able to do just 1st film because sequels are not guaranteed until success)
I would focus on adapting the first two volumes of the Love Hina manga.
Focus on characters, getting Keitaro mending his bad first impressions with each female character into something positive.
Ending the film with that scene on New Years before the Exams where Keitaro thinks he has failed the prelim exams until he realized that he succeeded to the next round.
Leaving up for a possibility of a sequel film being the 3rd volume manga adaptation for the second film.
What's the intro song??

Your first problem is caring about what the larger anime community has to say.

"support physical media"
Seriously cannot shout this loud enough. I've been saying this for AT LEAST 4-5 years now.
As for spriggan... It was BORING... I honestly do not remember it, because it was very dull and my girlfriend at the time was more interesting.
My problem with this movie is the character design/Art. It’s fairly generic and uninspiring.. it also duels between the realistic and the Stylized in Simeón conflicting ways, bringing out a terrible sense of uncanny valley.. This is something Films like Akira or Ninja scroll did not suffer of.

Infamous anime only ending? Anime original endings are just bad? Well well well, looks like it's a big fat dislike from me.
Won't watch it. Don't care the plot sucks.
