#Anime #Review #MiamiGuns - Zábava
Wait a sec... Suave saw "The Lighthouse"? The movie about two dudes stuck on a remote island without a woman to be seen for miles?
Huh, never would've taken him for such a connoisseur of old school style cinema.
(Kudos on illustrating your point about references needing to be more than a simply a reference.)
And Kudos to him doing a very good tonal whiplash joke.
HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARK!!!!!!
I mean, there was that scene where Robert Pattinson fucks a mermaid.
I just watched that the other day, this gag was a pleasant surprise.
They lured him in with promises of tentacles.
This is like Gunsmith Cats just without the actual humor, good action, likeable characters or actual love for guns and cars.
i don't know that was good jaws joke even nice Matrix parody
Interestingly enough, I was actually inspired by Gunsmith Cats by drawing OCs and writing stories on DeviantArt.
And unlike Miami Guns, I generally put more effort in the characters and the details in the weapons and vehicles rather than focus on jokes. As I'd rather have the humor come naturally and sparingly rather than turn it into straight-up comedy.
Yeah, pulling off a straight up comedy is not as easy as just sprinkling elements of it into a story. A lot of comedies just rely on throwing as much jokes at you hoping that some will land.
It is cool to hear that you have been inspired by Gunsmith Cats to be creative yourself. You got any way to show your work off?
Or Tiger And Bunny, an action-packed, funny and heartfelt show, filled with likeable characters and unlike Miami Guns, is definitely worth your time, check it out when you get the chance.
@@petermcaulay4647 I have looked into it and it looks like it could be good. Thanks, I´ll keep it in mind.
... Suave... That... That... *weeps whilst clapping* glorious
Nu Toki best The Lighthouse reference ever
Suave would review that Dumpster Fire. Bile Fascination ahead boys and girls, ALL ABOARD THE PAIN TRAIN!!!
I like how this episode is a stealth review of Excel Saga by comparing it to a far worse anime.
I swear, you must have put more passion into those last three minutes than the rest of the review entirely.
Which in turn had more passion than the entirety of Miami Guns
"Don't think about Desert Punk"
I'm sorry, even a decade after watching it I'm still furious at that ending. It cannot be forgotten.
Never seen it myself, but I feel this comment deserves a thumbs up.
Never seen it. You’ve opened Pandora’s box of curiousity and I’m signing for the delivery fee
@@Zeithri mild spoiler it don't end well
I watched the first two episodes and I can't say it was good. The voices were atrociously bad, especially the main character. He was a whiny-voiced little twerp. It tried to be funny, but I just kept steel-facing it. I'm thinking of watching the ending in YT, but I really don't want to waste my time...
It makes a real nosedive into being serious after being an action comedy for like the first two thirds of the show.
Guys... I keep having Kappa Mikey flashbacks watching this and I DON’T KNOW WHY!!!
Kappa Mikey... Wait was that the show about the American guy in Japan? I vaguely remember that!
@@theJOYSofANALpenetration yes YES! It was
Good point? Even this had better animation tho.. a voice actor that crosses over maybe?
4:53 Dear lord...I almost forgot about Milk-Chan...almost.
what
Hello, this is K-Blue and I completely forgot about Milk Chan.
...Juuust kidding.
Man that takes me back, just watching anything that Toonami/Adult Swim had to offer without batting an eye.......the fuck was wrong with me?
That anime was legendary here in Latin America because its dub was lost until a couple of years when it was finally found.
Is weird as fuck but At least the Theme Song (the JAPANESE ONE) was nice
All right, with this money I can get all the volumes of Kochikame!
I love how Suave has those unexpected layers of depth that surface out of nowhere when he has a point to make!
5:39 - WAIT WAIT! Give me a moment more, mine rolled under my chair.
Mine fell into a dirty bowl and I had to wash them off. Do you know how hard it is to navigate yourself to a sink with your dirty eyeballs in your hands?
Good to have you back Bennett. It's been too long.
I actually remember Hare and Guu back in the day when G4TV had an anime block along with Magical Shopping Arcade Abenobashi. Definitely a weird one much coming from the pink haired girl who has another world within her stomach.
I love Abenobashi it's weird yes but this is Gainax we're talking about. To them it's just a leisurely walk through the park.
It's sad that Risky Safety didn't garner the attention it deserved. It's honestly a really good series.
Solitaire Zeta what’s so good about it?I’ve never heard of it before.
@@DevilmanEnvoy The basic bare bones of the story is about a girl who has both an angel and a mini-shinigami (death god) vying for influence in her life. The angel trying to keep her optimistic and happy, while the shinigami tries to drive her to depression, despair and suicide.
Don't want to spoil much beyond that. It mixes cuteness with some heavy themes at times (especially towards the end), and some particularly creative episodes. Check it out if you get the opportunity.
out of all the people I’m subscribed to: I would’ve never expected that Bennett would be the first one to do a Lighthouse parody
That bit about anime DVD pricing got me. I still love _Steam Detectives_ but paying $30 apiece was so hard on my wallet and then the boxset came out and I felt like I got robbed. It's the one damper on one of my favorite anime series of all time.
I dug The Lighthouse inspired ending to this video.
I was about to point out the same thing. "Looks like someone enjoyed The Lighthouse". Cheers.
"You're not fond of me lobster?"
I live in florida and have been to miami often, you folks have no idea just how accurate to life this show is.
Miami native here, I can confirm this series is pretty spot on.
I thought Super Milk-Chan was a fever dream I had
Thank god it isn’t
good to see another episode, Sage! I've been watching this series since the beginning nine years ago. It does me good to see you evolve, your humor and information very elaborate. You also inspired me to diet and work out again. Thanks!
I see we liked the Lighthouse, eh?
When I saw this review for the 1st time, I realized that the the 2 main female characters are really idential to Chie and Yukiko from Persona 4! Coincidence, I think not! -The Incredibles
I miss ADV and Manga Entertainment :c
I was born in Miami, I grew up in Miami, to this day Miami is my home an anime based in Miami is something I've always wanted to see especially a cop show because this is Miami. A cop anime in Miami has no excuse not to be the most over-the-top hilarious thing ever.
How did Miami guns screw this up so badly. It doesn't even have Florida Man as an enemy and that mistake alone makes this anime trash.
I know right and no Miami Dolphins references
@@ryanneal6409 And now my disgust deepens.
Suave's sermon of the greatness of Aphrodite was brilliant! I should have known he was a devotee of Hers. I'm so glad to see Suave again. Your writing is so good!
AnimeNation, Now that's a name I've not heard in a long time. I remember picking stuff up from their retail store (IIRC they also helped the anime club at the Community Collage I went to)
Actually sage.
Companies still cannibalize their anime releases.
I've seen 12 and 24 series anime split into 2 volumes or 3, and them being overpriced.
At least they offer streaming options.
yeah, i'm sorry but i'm not paying 115$ cdn for one half of one season of hero academia...
Isn't that just Aniplex?
The number of series I'd like to purchase today, but are upwards of 100 USD per season, makes me feel like I am a wee lad back at the turn of the century all over again. Ah, the good ol' days, when one had to rely on birthday money to buy whatever was on sale, because you couldn't afford the new titles.
@@kerricaine You ever hear of Amazon?
I think this is the second time we have seen Suave get serious. First time was with I Dream Of Mimi, where he hated the main character. I think the same will happen with Green Green, given how some characters are also hateful (or so I've heard).
OMG! Green Green 13? Going to count the episodes that far & tempt the demonetization gods? :D
If Suave is doing it you can bet there will be a mention at the very least.
I was on the AN forums back in those days :D I still have both volume 1 of Risky Safety and Miami Guns! Risky Safety even has autograph of the main actress in Risky Safety.
Loved Hare and Guu, living in a PAL region I had to import the North American version from AN and at least I can be thankful I got one of their licensed Anime that they did a good job with the dub.
It was so funny I really want to show that series to my younger family members due to how crazy it is.
I miss Ultra by KMFDM
Same dude
8:02 Hey, at least Fozzie is well meaning in his bad puns.
I had a friend in high school who tried to get me to watch Green Green. I never trusted his recommendations again.
Graham Kristensen I felt that. My friends, who don’t have sisters, tried to get me, who has a sister, to watch KissxSis. I didn’t take their recommendations for a good while afterwards.
@@ZanraiKid Yikes.
But yeah, the guy who recommended it to me had horrible taste and would watch pretty much any anime with boobs in it. I think he even tried to get me to watch Ikki Tousen once.
@@grahamkristensen9301 Sounds like me in my sophomore year, though I was more into things like Durarara, Bleach, Baccano, Haganai: I Don't Have That Many Friends, High School DxD, Gurren Laggan, and High School of the Dead and have never even heard about KissXSis before.
Lol kissxsis that show could've been funny,if they try with comedy.but we all know what ecchi is mainly for.also it's a show about two stepsisters wanting to marry their step brother,so i didn't see it as weird like you guys.
I can feel it coming in the air tonight - Phil Collin, 1984
Animenation was the first website where I bought my manga, before moving on to amazon and rightstuf
Oh God it's so ugly and low budget looking... That's early 2000's Digipaint for you.
I never liked most early 2000s anime for that same reason. I find myself with the same kind of views on early 2000s CGI, not old enough to be forgiven for a lack of technological advancement.
I think I skipped a good chunk of this era.
I'm watching Orphen revenge at the moment, 99 but still the same time, and that looks decent enough, it still keeps the nice backgrounds from season 1.
It seems like Blue Submarine No. 6 was the only anime from the time period that actually knew how to use digital coloring correctly. And the CGI was still predictably spotty.
I’d love to see an episode on Gonzo. They put out my favourite anime of all time Basilisk. Which is also a show I’d love to see an episode on.
Yay, Daddy Suave's coming back home soon!
Someone liked "the Lighthouse" :D
Great monologue
Gunsmith Cats + Excel Saga = Miami Guns
geardog24 To quote, of all people, Jim Gaffigan, “Fruit? Good. Cake? Great. Fruitcake? Nasty crap.”
Should probably add "minus fun" to the equation.
Subtract the humor
Gunsmith Cats + Excel Saga + Gonzo's Hellsing / Fun = This junk...
Ok, I saw all of Miami Guns and I have most of the DVDs... damn you volume 4!... but I have the DVDs because I was collecting AN's third series Hare + Guu and those AN DVDs were sold in a liquidation batch. For some reason, I was able to find the rest of the Hare and Guu DVDs well within the amount I considered worthwhile but no one was willing to let go of the final Miami Gun volume, the best part of the series, for as cheap. At the time, volume four would have cost me as much as the rest of the Hare + Guu not because it was good but because it was rare.
I think one thing about a character like Yao Sakurakouji that bothers people is that we all know somewhere out there there are real people just idiot-protagonist-ing their way through life like that without consequence while the rest of us are constantly trying to remain accountable for our stupid mistakes when they inevitably happen. >.>
Thank you I cannot find a review of this show anywhere it isn't very good but I don't want it to be forgotten
I know nothing about that new anime, so if he can do it without getting demonetized, great! It'll be nice seeing the old perv come back.
"Don't think about Desert Punk."
What's Desert Punk?
Never seen desert punk, i know it by name only. What is so infamous about that anime?
@@juanortiz9123 Its shit but its not tje worst one, its prettt forgetable too
I couldn't make it through. It was overly crudely sexual, but also really slow, and so it's jokes wouldn't hit after slogging through the narrative.
imagine Lupin III....in a Mad Max-esque post apocalyptic future....complete with an obvious "ORIGINAL CHARACTER; DO NOT STEAL" version of Fujioko....oh yeah, and it's garbage.
I don't even know...
You should give Suave a gift by watching.... Interspecies Reviewers. Yes its dumb ecchi fun but it actually has some good humor and the author put way too much effort into worldbuilding for "just smut".
The one good thing AnimeNation had was imported manga, cds, and various goods...that's about it. The shipping costs were jacked to shit though.
That ending bit was hilarious. Oh and yes, while the ending of Desert Punk was certainly...a thing. The rest of the series was an absolute joy to watch.
Honestly, Miami Gums is a guilty pleasure of mine. I feel like it wasn't stressed enough that the entire show is ironic and a name like the "Organization" is lazy on purpose, it wears cliches with pride and takes you on a trip.
Yao is completely unlikable but like a carwreck, you can't stop looking at the disaster in front of you. Lu is a likable partner to make them a more endearing pair. And I think it was funny how you said a reference does not a joke make then that Lighthouse bit in the end, not sure if that was intentional.
But all in all Miami Guns is right up my alley to enjoy ironically(both the way it was intended and not at the same time, I suppose), I just love 2000's obscurity, something about how low key trippy these shows are is mesmerizing. Perfect to just turn your brain off to.
Also, the dub studio did a good job. I think working on anime turned out to be a one time thing for everyone involved, but it feels like there was a lot of love put into their work, you can tell they had a ton of fun with it and the performances shone through because of it, there wasn't one single awkward line of delivery despite a lot of dialogue that was pretty out there.
I watched this anime as a young child (my parents had a lot of niche anime no one else knew about) and I absolutely loved it. I genuinely thought Yao was hilarious. Sure, she’s spoiled, but that’s how she was supposed to be. And how oblivious she was to Nagisa trying to kill her made me like Yao even more.
And George and Anthony cracked me up. I used to copy them saying, “George! Anthony!” 😂😂😂
Did Yao ever have a low setting to her voice or was she always in loud mode like Kaggy?
Sad part, i wanted to do a video on Miami Guns... then i saw you were doing one, then i decided "... eh, maybe more down the line." XD Also, thanks for "The Lighthouse" parody at the end, well done good sir.
6:56 Is her father an Evangelion reference?!
Definitely.
@@eamonndeane587 The fact he was blond and not brunet but was so obviously that character (I'm hardly an anime fan and I could tell) surprised me but it was too damn obvious, but surprising *how* obvious.
It's a poor man's Gendo Ikari
Bro. Sick monologue! You're a fantastic comedic actor bud. Love your timing. Great video!
Ooooh man! So much late 90's and early 2000's nostalgia... and not all of it a good one. Man, that time was interesting.
what a gorgeous soliloquay by Suave. I couldn't look away! And funny detail on you finding out you're in black and white :P
19:23 when the quite kid form all you classes who’ve pick on for the past 6 years finally snaps, starts screaming about bloody vengeance and pulls out a gun in the middle of morning roll call.
Just got into your channel about a month ago. Watching a video from 2014 currently. Had to pause and come to your most current video - Holy crap. Good job on the weight lose, man!
3:13 Risky Safety got a Western release? The anime that I have only ever seen mentioned on a single website back in 1999 actually got a Western release? And you're mentioning this in 2020!?!
At least now I have confirmation that it actually is a real anime series that was actually produced and published.
EDIT 16:43 Hare + Guu got a Western release!?! The other anime that I had only ever heard about on the same site that mentioned Risky Safety!?!
Yeah, I can see why AN Entertainment didn't do very well.
I knew Hare+Guu got a Western release but for the life of me, I couldn’t tell what the dub sounds like because if there was ever a series that CZcams decided to crack down on in the early 2010s, it was inexplicably Hare+Guu.
As for Risky Safety, never heard of it.
It is indeed real. I actually have the dvd collection for it. Long story short I shopped at ANN exclusively in the early 2000's and managed to win a prize in their end of year customer appreciation event. I had hoped to win Gundam Wing dvd collections instead I won Risky Safety. To date it is still the only contest I've ever won.
OMG finally Green Green! My old and original mini claim to fame with abridging. XD I remember seeing you at AKon and wanting to donate that to you but you already had it. Good times. ^^
Wow, 'The lighthouse ' was the last thing I expected to be referenced on here. Good job! Btw, did you actually see it and if you did what did you think?
Sage...when is the next installment of your Bubblegum Crisis series going to come out?
I remember Anime Nation all too well! My first online order for an Anime OST when I bought the Guyver: Out of Standardized album, it's the soundtrack to the one shot "Guyver: Out of Control."
Suave... WHERE DID THAT COME FROM?!
Oh Risky Safety! That was a cute anime and I even have Risky as my ava---(girl splits her legs)
oh...
Of the Nine Circles of Anime Hell, I'm guessing this would be Sloth?
I watched this anime before the review just to see if it was any good.....
I hate Yao. 😒
Risky Safety looks like what I usually thing about when I hear early 2000s anime. A muted color palete
Good thing I didn't pick this up thank you, Sage. P.S. please review Space Pirate Mito
Green Green's next? Oh lord. Though should be interesting to see how Suave covers an anime under the new review format Bennett has for Anime Abandon.
Anime nation was awesome, I bought a lot of anime off them in the early 2000s. Evangelion box sets, Sakura clow card and Sakura card sets. Now of which are rare and expensive. Hearing about AN takes me back. Rip.
I can't decide if I want Sage or Suave to review Hare+Guu, love that show to bits.
Honestly the show isn't bad. Its just jao who's incredibly annoying but eventually you learn to kinda tolerate her. The other characters are pretty decent though. I like the scientist girl, the brown haired police girl and the alligator guy.
Also to quote devil on any anime character
"You cant Express how your charecter fells, OHH THAT MADE SO ANGRY"
I wasn't into anime at the time because i was too young along with trying to purchase such expensive dvds. with anime-nation was selling distributing anime in the states having miami guns to be their excell saga which didn't even work but was an infamous bad comedy that will just show the era of when it came out.
13:45
Wowowowow, hold up.
1) That's an AE86 trueno corolla which is already a beast of a drift car.
2) It's a **modded** AE86 trueno corolla which is even more powerfull.
Wow, I haven't seen Miami Guns in years. Thanks for the refresher.
This was a great review sage.😃 I'm thinking about buying this anime anyway. is it good like excel saga?
Amazing Lighthouse reference Bennet.
Wow. I hadn't realized I had actually managed to forget about Milk Chan. Until now. Thanks a lot, Sage!
That's a rather long time to sit on an opinion when diving into an old company's fate. As a media devourer who used to rent DVDs weekly from a dedicated anime store, I found Miami Guns hilarious (dub not withstanding).
Well this was a really memorable Meh-uarary episode :D
You know, I almost reviewed this, and I'm glad I didn't because you basically said everything I was going to say and added some points I didn't even think about.
I'm curious how many takes that Suave speech took. Like I imagine it was really hard to keep a straight face, lol. Anyway, yet another good episode. really loving this new format. :)
"i know I just game someone a ptsd flashback" *me feeling suppressed memories floating in the back of mind, rising to the surface like some antediluvian horror* oh no.
Sage, can you review eatman? or it wasn't distributed to the US?
While watching "Photon: The Idiot Adventures" for the first time, I wasn't surprised when it quickly contracted Final-X syndrome by the last 2 episodes, but I was still shocked just how hard to the other direction the tone shifted, because holy Jesus.
I miss Anime Nation. I used to shop there.
We're waiting.
So an episode on Geisters from Anime Crash or an episode about Cat Girl Nuku Nuku OVA revolving around the UK dub from Crusader Video coming sometime down the pipeline? :)
I...I just noticed that Snufkin makes a cameo in Excel Saga.
Huh.
12:00 exactly if you're curious.
Oh man, Hale and Guu was my first anime ever...this gon' be an exciting month!
Here’s a subtitle for the next episode: The Rise of Papenbrook
I wonder if Bryce ever thought he'd get to voice big time parts while he was recording Green Green and Eiken
I need that Kenshiro shirt
*Edit, WHY'D YA SPILL THE BEANS!?
I completely forgot what was being reviewed because of that awesome ending
1:51 what anime is that? Looks like JJ from Spider-Man
It's from the movie Paprika.
Since you are making a point of talking about anime production and business side, maybe it's a good time to cover what happened with Gainax recently as well as Hideaki Anno's reaction (maybe also review Shirobako, since Hideaki gets a cameo there and it's revelvant to the subject of anime production)
There is a great show about Anime production from the early 00s he could cover called Animation Runner Kuromi.
19:00 so much for "FAS: Not even once" :D
Did you ever do You're Under Arrest? I still like it, but man the main show has problems today.
Aoi is still one of my favorite characters.
O man.......Green Green. And here I thought Eiken was bad. Wonder if he'll also cover the 2 episodes that were not shown in the west
That ending...makes me mad I didn't see Lighthouse. But oh god, Green Green. That's a trip and a half.
