Silent Mobius is much more important to Japanese media than us westerners think. The manga was one of the first stories ever published that features an all girl action squad. The way the story focused on each of the girls' backgrounds, as well as the cool, Blade Runner inspired cyberpunk vibe made Silent Mobius a sort of cult sensation in Japan back in the early 90's. While it never got the popularity it deserved, Silent Mobius can still be credited for influencing media titans such as Sailor Moon in manga, or Sakura Wars in gaming.
I grew up watching the series, but it disappeared after Tech TV was eaten by the corporate giants and they killed anime. I'm so glad he made this video because I couldn't find the series for years.
@@priscillaasagiri4913 I forgot to write "published in English". Yes, those titles came out before Silent Mobius, albeit only as anime. If there's something new Silent Mobius brought to the table was a more philosophical narrative and the then-new "insecure main girl" who happens to become the most badass member of the team after an epiphany (Sailor Moon, Sakura Shinguji, etc.). In fact, upon watching the series, you may notice that the main girl's character arc is quite similar to that of Neo's in "The Matrix".
We're finally getting one in English, albeit the Crayon Shin Chan spin-off! Fun fact as well, Kaz Ayabe (the head of Milennium Kitchen) is also a restaurateur with an award winning curry hole in the wall.
I hated playing a particular Shrek game as a child, but just couldn't stop playing. It was like a collection of mini games and the progression made no sense... that game was so shit lol.
I've been doing the same recently. They're particularly interesting if you know the language so you can make sense of the madness being thrown at you. If you have any recommendations, please, I'm all ears.
You should take a look at "Germs: Nerawareta Machi". It's a full 3D open world adventure game (with driving mechanics, no less) where you play as a reporter covering strange events happening in your town. It's text heavy and only in Japanese, but it's an impressive game for the PS1.
Nice you are covering Attack of the Friday Monsters next. I don't remember this clearly, but I remembered reading an interview of this game looooong back with series creator Kazuhiro Ayabe. Seemed like a pretty sweet guy, and definitely looked like the kind of developer who would enjoy these kinds of games.
I was wondering why Kowloon's Gate sounded so familiar but when you brought up the remake, it made me remember that they just a few days ago teased a Switch version.
watching this brought back the excitement that i had when i seriously started dedicating myself to study japanese since my initial motivation was to play and understand weird obscure japanese games like the ones in this video i'm definitely not at the level to help with translations but enough to get the general meaning of dialogues and such, it's motivating me to keep going
A Japan-only PS1 game video by Thor? I'm in heaven! Really wish these titles had translations, as we're missing a lot without them. May get that English PS4 Kowloon's Gate, although it seems like a markedly different game from the original, and I would actually prefer that. Apparently there was an English version in development, suggested by a trailer for it that appeared on a US games magazine demo disk, but was never completed.
There was a PS1 Japan only game that I loved as a kid. A game about a cyberpunk future where people drives motorcycles that transforms into robots. I think the name is Gunbike or something.
@@seraphic22 Yes, that's the name :D It's strange that I can't find anything about this game in the internet. Only one review and a couple of let's plays on CZcams
This is exactly the kind of content I come to this channel for. I would recommend learning katakana for playing untranslated JP games, it isn't too hard to learn and is used frequently in menu options.
I remember buying bootleg ps1 games from a chinese classmate who got boxes full practically the same week they were released in japan. They came with printed covers and disc art and everything for 10 guilders a pop. Kid had quite the hustle going at school lol
Yesteday i have a dream of a memory of playing a game in japanese about a boy doing things in the countryside (or something like that) on my cousin modded ps1, he used to have a lot of burning cd games (mostly rpgs and fighting games), while i didn't understand shit the atmosphere was superb enough to keep me playing. Today not only you make me remember the name but also know that there is a series of games , the Boku No Natsuyasumi series, for that i thank you my good sir and keep with the good job.
Having off-handedly turned on my PS1 the other day on a whim after about 6 or 7 months of dissapointment at the disc drive ceasing all function seemingly indefinitely and subsequently being surprised, amazed, and fucking overjoyed when Crash Bandicoot 3 not only ran but was able to be played for about an hour before I turned it off in triumph, this is EXACTLY the content I need. I LIVE for obscure Japanese shit from the 90s, ya dig? Edit: God, where has Boku no Natsuyasumi been all my life.
God, your videos are A E S T H E T I C. I've been playing around with s hacked psp for a while now and you helped me find a lot of cool stuff I have a lot more respect for that era now since I'm ps2 generation. Can I suggest a psp game called Gladiator Begins? I think it's really underrated. It might feel the most like a real fight of any action game I've played.
The second game "Silent Mobius" is also an anime that I have been trying to find the name of for years now. Just watching this video gave me a clue to find the anime again. Thanks for posting the video. XD
10:10 マップ (mappu) "Map" 環境設定 (kankyō settei) "Environmental settings" My Japanese isn't very good. I'm still learning. I know the Kana (かな/カナ) pretty well. I often use Google Translate and online dictionaries for the Kanji (漢字) or Chinese characters.
I thought Boku no Natsu Yasumi sounded a little similair to my favourite of the 3DS ”Guild” e-shop games! Didn’t know it was related to a series of earlier games... Also, Blue: Legend of Water sounds kind of compelling. Excellent video, I love to learn about Japan exclusives.
Blue legend of water is easily searchable on russian torrents, btw. We have like 1 Tb worth of PS1 games for every region (so 3 Tb total, redump verified), so if you can't find what you looking for anywhere, chances are it exists there. Arr, preservation.
Great video! Feels like Moon: Remix RPG/Ufo: A day in life and Baroque are missing in a list like this. But well, even I learned about some cool games I didn't know of!
When I first saw the logo at 8:49, I literally exclaimed "Aw yis!" That's cuz Tec(h)nosoft are the folks behind the Thunder Force series of shoot-em-ups, one of the all-time greats! They're all super-friendly games in a genre known for being brutal as all hell (III especially), y'all should check it out!
Always had a fascination with Kowloon Walled City, it's a genuine shame the museum for it closed down a few years ago. It'd be a dream game to have an as close to 1-to-1 recreation of Kowloon as a fully explorable area, but until then, we have Kowloon's Gate! Thank you for showing me this. Boku no Natsuyasumi is great too, reminds me of playing some old PS1 and PS2 games back in the day, I'll be sure to check it out!
Boy oh boy, was I in for a treat. I absolutely love your videos on weird/obscure PS1 games and this one was just as good as always. Boku no Natsuyasumi looks gorgeous. I'll definitely be checking that one out. Also, that transition at 7:35 was smooth as silk. Some real elegant stuff and it sets the tone for the video very nicely. And you even made the music for it? Damn. I'll definitely be checking out those sick tunes too.
This video reminded me of those times when I played Net Yaroze homebrews and untranslated Bomberman World on my PS1. Hell, I even didn't speak much English back then, so I think I had similar experience as you with those weird themes and games, trying to figure out what the hell am I even experiencing. Good times. Perhaps Net Yaroze would make a nice topic for a future video?
Thor, I just wanna say as a fan of yours for the last few months that, going through your backlog, I really appreciate the tone of your more recent works. I absolutely love your content, and am glad you moved away from your previous, more 'edgy' choice of words. The games you review are often the ones I find the most interesting, and I think you can truly capture the feeling of 'cozy'.
No one asked for this but the video cover with "クール日本人テキスト" basically means "Cool Japanese text" with the only issue that "日本人" refers to a Japanese person and not Japanese as language (the correct version would be something like "クール日本語テキスト". Moral of the story: never trust Google translate with Japanese XD
There is an english trailer for Kowloon's Gate. There has been said that an english version, or at least a demo, of the PS1 Kowloon's Gate is somewhere out there, and some person was said to once bought it in an auction. However none of that is confirmed true and proof of an english version to even exist is inconclusive.
Huh, Silent Mobius got a game? The manga and maybe the anime were translated into English, but the series wasn't exactly setting the world alight either.
This video manage to capture some of those summers you were talking,back when were younger and the PS1 was a cool console to own.Full of nostalgia and chill atmosphere. Good work. Also is always interested to see what games we missed here in the west.
Man, one thing we have to admire in children: They have the will! Language barriers, my butt! Weirdness? The heck they will let that stop'em! Minecraft in a cellphone? If that's all they have, they will use it with joy!
You can't go to Kowloon Walled City anymore. The gov'ment came n tore it all down. Used to be a military fort. It was basically a lawless zone. There's documentaries out there about it. Pretty much the height of urban myth at this point.
I imported Boku No Natsuyasumi 3 for PS3 a good few years back after playing Attack of the Friday monsters and learning about the studio. It's such a lovely and charming game. The backgrounds are insanely gorgeous.
I was contemplating trying to watch the Silent Mobius anime at one point because of how neat the style was, I knew I recognised that shit from somewhere!
Man, I really love your videos, I've watched all of them at least twice...... And I'm not kidding, keep up the good work man, and if you can, would you talk about something cyberpunk ? I think it really fits your channel
the kowloon walled city is gone now and is a park with a few historical displays. the japan kowloon theme park place is around and used for a filming location sometimes
