I'm still trying to figure out what it is about Japanese cyberpunk compared to Western cyberpunk, but it always just hits different. I mean, they draw from the same sources in terms of combining hard sci-fi and action with hardboiled noir. They both cover the same philosophical topics (robot and AI rights, technological singularity, cybernetics and the man-machine interface, bio-manipulation (let's not forget that biopunk is considered a subgenre of cyberpunk), what does it mean to be alive, what does it mean to be human, can artificial life have soul, what does a future where corporations and government have become inextricably intertwined look like and are we on the fact track to that kind of neoliberal globalist nightmare state, etc.), but there's something just...different...about how the Japanese do it.
The best explanation I've heard is that Western cyberpunk is more political. Western cyberpunk is rooted in the anarchist/diy ethics of punk. In general, it tends to be about individuals and small groups working in confederation to do what they can to challenge these omnipresent, oppressive, hierarchical megacorporations and a system of capitalism run amuck. Japanese cyberpunk is more philosophical. It's more focused on issues of identity and the human condition in a wold where man and machine are fast becoming merged. This is also why leads in Japanese cyberpunk tend to by members of the authority rather than rebels against it. Armitage is a cop. The Major is a counterterrorism agent. Deunan and Briareos are soldiers turned SWAT officers. Leona from Dominion Tank Police is another cop. Kei and Yuri from Dirty Pair are goddamn insurance agents! Because the point of Japanese cyberpunk isn't the individual against oppressive authority. It's about what it means to be human/alive in a world fast tracking to the Singularity like a bullet train jumping the tracks.
Interesting =X
Interesting! Trying to think of an example of Western cyberpunk which isn`t philosophical, but more about anarchy...but can`t really pin-point one. Bladerunner and The Matrix movies are philosophical. Deckard is a cop. Neo was an office guy/hacker by night so I *guess* he fits the rebel role, but the trilogy is deeply themed around consciousness & "what is reality?". The only example of "punk cyberpunk" would be Mad Max but is it 100% cyberpunk? I guess the "Cyberpunk 2077" videogame could also front the punk aspect, but again, its core is philosophical. I`m genuinely interested in hearing about your examples of Western cyberpunk, because I do agree the Japanese version hits different.
this is actually a really interesting question. I'd like to add a bit about western vs eastern beliefs that i heard somewhere.
So the western world is very 'human' focused. all western thought and belief finds its roots in abrahamic faith and mythology, which is generally speaking about people, and rarely god or the devil which can be interpreted as abstract definitions of good and evil. But japanese mythology is much more 'anthropomorphized', there's a lot of things out there that kind of look and kind of talk and kind of think like humans. Ghosts and spirits, demons, shapeshifter, minor gods and so forth.
So in western thought machines are machines, mechanical slaves, and becoming a cyborg can be seen as becoming 'less human' or becoming subservient or controlled by others which leans into themes of authority, control and (lack of) community. But in japanese thought machines could be just as human as a human, becoming something different than human doesn't necessarily mean lesser or worse, just different, like those spirits and gods of mythology. So the focus is less on the consequences of becoming other, and more on the distinction. not 'where is the line between man and machine' but 'what is he difference between man and machine'.
And of course japanese society, history and culture is much more authoritarian and communal than in the west. Family and clan/country first, yourself second has always been the historical and heroic standard. So being anti-authoritarian isn't viewed as being a strong-minded free thinker, but rather as the traits of a selfish or stupid person. So naturally when you want sympathetic likable heroes you make them law-abiding citizens or even civil-servants (i.e. police or goverment workers).
of course this is all generally speaking, there are exceptions and other factors at play. I'm not saying that the difference between western/eastern cyberpunk originates from the fact that eastern religion featured talking animals and western religion doesnt.
@@dms-f16 What I'm thinking of is the Cyberpunk tabletop game, Shadowrun, Aeon Flux, and even moreso the original cyberpunk literature like Neuromancer or Mona Lisa Overdrive, Johnny Mnemonic, and the Mechanist/Shapers series. William Gibson, Bruce Sterling, Pat Cadigan, and that cadre from the Mirrorshades anthology. As well as newer authors like Scott Westerfield with the Uglies series.
Exactly. The Oriental cyberpunk school of thought is more philosophical which was present in GHOST IN THE SHELL for example. There is though an exception in the rule regarding the Western approach and that was the first BLADE RUNNER (I know we are talking about a film and not an anime but we cover the whole perspective here).
The fact that the protagonist is voiced by Nomi Malone from showgirls it’s just ICONIC
And let's not forget Venom Snake is Ross
this feels very blade runner but like one step further into the forbidden zone
The vilain make me think of Dune Sting !
best movie ever and the music made it even more epic
This partially inspired Beast in Black's new album the Dark Connection.
This is quite possibly the first Anime I ever saw
Man does ANYONE recall seeing this on sci-fi back in like 2000 as one of their first exposures to anime?
i remember it from Starz anime block during that time
One of the first animes I ever saw. But not this version
Not my first anime, but I did watch this on sci-fi back in the day lol.
how did 90s anime do that effect where it looks like things are glowing?
I’ve always wondered that myself
it's called rotoscoping, same effect they used to animate lightsabers in Star Wars
Actually rotoscoping refers to the method of tracing live action footage.
This was probably achieved with backlighting of the cell while taking a photo of it (yes each cell used to take a pic per frame in the old days)
Well maybe a trick but you could do it with simply colour shading.
3draven actually rotoscoping is generally just going through frame by frame and tweaking what was made. It why we still have rotoscoping now in like post production etc. Rotoscoped was yes originally frame by frame of live actor movement tracing but now it is used to refer to frame by frame ‘tracing’ of footage.
Loved armitage❤ brought both movies from cd game exchange around 2002
Personally, I like Armitage III much more than this hyped battle angel... maybe it will be the next real movie :D
I enjoyed Alita very much... and I think fans of it would like this too... they're both badass cyborgs from Mars
OH MY GOD U ARE RIGHT armitage 3 would be EPIC if we FILMED IT ON MARS with spacex
The alita manga is on a whole different level. The best cyber punk ever made
@@sharebear421 No lmao it's boring as fuck
@@PiroKUSS how is it boring lol there’s constant action
Oh hey, Beast in Black just made a song referencing this, called Moonlight Rendevous.
yep, that clip brought me here actually.
Highway to Mars is also about Armitage III
This was pretty good.
It played me like a damn fiddle!
Naomi armitage,, she's so Beautiful, Android Robot,,, together with, Motoki Kusanagi in Ghost in the Shell,, both are my Favorites,,👌👌👌
Motoko kusanagi is NOT an android but a cyborg!
I love the part where Armitage is like, "I'm so excited...I'M SO SCARED!"|
Still one of my favorite soundtracks.
I lost this title, but still have the sequel Armitage III Dual Matrix. I'll be buying Armitage III Poly Matrix again. I do wish it was on Blu-Ray though.
Old animes hit hard
90s best time
Good old days
I still have this movie. 🔥🔥🔥🔥
i love armitage 3 anime ;-)
there is two armitage 3 anime... poly matrix this one and dual matrix the next and yes i love poly but hate dual!
Man, she's tough as nails.
Beast in Black brought me here
I wonder if they will be a live action version
This feels very Blade Runnery
Got the dvd, pretty imporessive soundtrack :.)
La voix off m'a fait pensé au jeux Heavy Metal Fakk II
Wow Snake in this movie wow
How epic an anime series can be? Its English dub are made by Naomi Malone, Jack Bauer/Venom Snake and Hal/Walter White
At the same time, Joe Romersa and Les E. Claypole III took part in the technical creation of the dubbing. Joe Romersa also dubbed one of Thug Guys in OVA-version =]
If you like this then you should watch Akira
I imagine if someone has gotten around to Armitage they've seen Akira like way ahead of it...
Reminds me to Saikano!
she lives :D
i dont know what this is. i jus love okd funhaus
Is this where the tool from Kali came from? :p makes sense
Just found this. Armitage is my surname lol.
Que riko dónde la miro ?
ARMITEEEESHH
GUNMM Battle Angel vibes
This Era of Anime just RuleZzzzzz
My uncle gave me a cd of this
Wow- Kroger Sutherland!
I also want the narator to, 1 narate my life, and read me bed time stories
RWBY & Red Earth Capcom
It look like blades runner
I got here thanks to a comment on: BEAST IN BLACK - Moonlight Rendezvous (OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO)
Let me return the favour and guide those here to it as well :)
I got this on whs...
I first watched bootleg VHS of this anime with a bad Russian alone-voice over in the early 2000s. =]
me too
KIEFER SUTHERLAND?!?!? FUCKING HELL
anyone else spot les claypool in the credits?
Yes, "Supervising Sound Editor: Les Claypool III" in credits.
And "Magnitude 8 Post - ADR Recordist: Joe Romersa; Music Editors: Joe Romersa, Les Claypool III"
=]
One question......... only one, does it have a happy ending? I mean, does Armitage stay alive at the end? Don´t tell me anything else, but only this ^^
I couldn´t bear knowing that she died :(
She's like Motoko Kusanagi but with more feelings!!!!!!!!!!!
It's been over 20 years since I watched the OVA but yeah I think she lives happily ever after.
Yes
Blade Runner had almost the same plot.
"Blade Runner" film is based on book "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" by Philip K. Dick. And I would not argue that the almost plot is the same. General concepts - yes. But is it all in the plot? Absolutely not. =X
Why upload a crappy dub?
The movies only exists in english!
Morten Rolfson its an ova that waa edited into one film
I know, the ova is in japanese and the movie only in english!
spndrp how the hell is it crappy? It's funny
