Nathan Dehnel that’s why every country is obliged to keep a small brigade of Emus listed as military assets. So long as the United States has emus in every petting zoo and wild animal preserve, the Australians will never be able to occupy our country if they ever invade!
@@supernova4226Actually, it would be called “Spinster Energy”. A widow is a married person who lost their spouse. A spinster is a person who’s unmarried.
Virginity is NOT the most precious gift a woman can give her husband on their wedding night, Japan! Love, companionship, support, and social compatibility are all valuable and important characteristics in a mate! Ensuring that your wife never had sex before she met you is actually pretty low on value scale! In fact (_depending on the person_) it can actually be a detriment to be inexperienced in the the sack!
Mom and dad had me before they got married. Hell, mom had to make sure to finally force her ex to finalize the divorce lol. I learned this at a youngish age, and so my whole family never really bought into that "Saving yourself" crap. Nowadays from what I read, there's a lot of people who REGRET IT because they learn they're sexually incompatible with their spouse.
Here's something to blow your minds. Blue-Balls is voiced by Crispin Freeman. As in, the same guy who voiced Alucard, Itachi Uchiha, Shizuo Hewaijima. He must have been really desperate for work
Okay, but what if: co-ed virgin power. Think about it, you have superpowers, but you absolutely cannot get it on with anyone if you want to keep them - with boys, girls, those not falling clearly into either category, nobody. And you're a teenager. And you're surrounded by other pubescent teens of whatever gender you happen to be into. Let the chaos ensue.
And that's how asexuals saved the world. Though for real, could be an interesting take on romantic and sexual desire, especially since we'd be talking about young characters without a lot of experience with either. It could be commentary on a culture like the USA that preaches abstinence but doesn't really want to give teenagers the tools to understand and cope with these wants, aside from trying to shame them out of it. It could talk about the expectation for sexual desire to follow romantic desire and why people may or may not choose to indulge it. Or how some feel one but not the other, or even neither. Leaving aside how, once you stop thinking of sex as strict penis-in-vagina intercourse, it gets kind of nonsensical to try and define what does and does not qualify one as a virgin. And there you go with the puritanical subtext again. :Y
+Lil Davie H. I think you could avoid a puritanical subtext if you made sure to illustrate that having sex definitely isn't a bad thing and is perhaps more damaging to forbid yourself from doing so, it's just that under the circumstances it would be really really bad. Maybe it could lead to a metaphor about a time and a place for sex and not treating sex as a willy-nilly thing to just do without some precaution ('cause, you know, STDs, pregancies...).
SMAXZO Actually, it has to do with the picky as hell Japanese MEN. See, there's such a thing as a Christmas Cake phenomenon in Japan that's been etched in their culture (but I think it's becoming less and less prominent) where women that aren't married by age 26 have really decreased chances of being married because men figure, "if she wasn't married at that point, there MUST be something wrong with her". Or, something along the lines of that.
Rafael Fernandez But aren't these women in this anime 2D? And they're throwing rocks at this one guy for just saying hi to his girlfriend! If anything, this anime disproves that little "2D is better than 3D" notion.
I like the name Virgin Fleet, maybe for a different plot. When I first read the title, I assumed it was for something like brand new planes being assigned to fresh young pilots on their first missions, with the story documenting the lives of each pilot and how they see the violent, war-torn world they've been thrust into as well as their 'relationships' to their own aircrafts. Kind of in the same vein as Area 88, (another anime you might want to check out. Melodramatic as all hell, but otherwise not bad) Then I saw the anime. sigh. CRISPIN FREEMAN, YOU WOULD EVENTUALLY PLAY ITACHI UCHIHA AND ALUCARD!!! WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING???

10:00 - Wow, yeah, their marriage hinges on her graduation and she's been skipping classes. He clearly cares more about it than she does. Why is he still committed to a woman who doesn't care as much about him? Echoes of my last relationship - I relate to this review even more now than I did the last time I watched it.
They got lucky, in a few years the Russians would perfect their mind-control tech and field the giant squid in their armada, the natural predator of Japanese school girls.
. . .That NEEDS to be an anime! XD I don't mean it in a pervy way; it just. . .freaking giant squids! I haven't seen one of those since Silver Hawks, and that thing could shoot laser beams from its head and flew through the vacuum of space.
Virgin Fleet: The Anime that takes Feminism... and then shoots it twice in the forehead to be sure it's dead. Tosses the body in the trunk of a car. Pours 10 gallons of gasoline on it. Puts the car on a barge, sets it out to sea, and then blasts the barge with a Rocket Launcher. And then pisses in the ocean because it feels like it.
eastwing329 And yet not only am I okay with that I feel like treating every feminist in existence to a mandatory viewing just to see how many of their triggered heads explode.
These are sad really examples. Princess Mononoke came out nearly the same time as this anime, and that movie idealizes better the stateo of the Japanese society and female empowerment during the time. It's better to just let stupid, immature shows like this be forgotten.
I wouldn't mind the the whole "virgin energy" plot device so much if it wasn't for whatever reason restricted only to women. I also wonder by which definition they mean "virgin", does making out cause you to lose your powers?
Harley also, honestly, I wouldn't mind it as well if they didn't always portray virginity as being the worst thing ever when just a lot of people find it neutral
I wonder what happens with the Virgin Energy when the girl hits her time of the month? Does it grow more powerful due to the chemical explosions going on inside her body? 'Cause then PMSing would be a real hazard as opposed to a constant annoyance.
Yea, I'll proudly admit to being both a virgin and a feminist, and this irritates the fucking crap outta me. It's just so condescending and preachy. It's almost like when I was a kid at catholic school, (this being in the late 90s-early-2000s) and teachers just started realizing that calling Pokemon and Harry Potter 'tools of the devil' wasn't working, so they adopted this 'if you can't beat em, join em' attitude, and we got a bunch of weird, half baked skits or short stories that would take stuff like Harry Potter or Star Wars and give them and aggressively Christian edge.
You know it's just occurred to me that the Russo Japanese war is a rather untouched historical period in fiction. At least as far as I'm aware, anything good written about it? If they really wanted to harness the power of virgins then surely an MtG tournament is the best place to recruit people. ;) (Juuuuust kidding)
Yeah, this show is soooo fucking stupid. I hate these animes where the main casta re all girls except for one guy, and he always winds up being the slapstick material. this is why I hate love hina and all those other bad harem anime/manga
I love this review, but there's one elephant in the room I can't believe Bennett didn't bring up: what if the enemy sends in a squadron of convicted rapists?
@@kerlongsjorlejov1945 Yeah, IS was my first case of "GIVE ME MY WASTED TIME BACK!" The Male Lead was the worst type of bland Harem Protagonist who that series made a point of making completely useless in the worst way, as in he barely ever wins on his fucking own in any fight! It made sense at the start and early on, but if your going to make him useless and moral support to the actual useful heroines, then you shouldn't have made him a fighter; Also the writers flip floppyness in making the MC important, to trying to downplay his importance and have villains who looked like they were interested in him go "nope wasn't interested in him in the slightest, watch as I try to kill him to prove that" when prior they acted like he was an important piece to their plan, and don't kill him, he's mine! I guess because the creator was scared people weren't paying attention to the fan service. IS is the same as SAO! Art was great, designs were great, effects were great, the fight scenes looked awesome....story and characters were dog shit awful (Creator should have stuck to art....at least we have good fix fic fanfiction when done by someone more talented then the Original writers at least!"
The series takes place after the end of the first World War circa the 1930s, where virgin young women who have a special energy called Virgin Energy are called upon to pilot fighter jets who rely on Virgin energy. The story follows Shiokaze Umino as she attends the Nakano Women's Naval Academy with her classmates Satsuki and Komachi as they balance being on-duty and their regular school life.
You read my mind about ancient DVD releases. I remember when they used to have production and actor notes that just displayed on the TV screen like an e-book reader.
It's like Sakura Wars except Oji Hiroi ran out of ideas to justify the girls' ability to wield their weapons. Honestly, when I think of Sakura Wars, I think of "What would happen if the Sakura Wars girls have to do a Wargame with a modern military force?" and "Just put the Doomslayer in the Sakura Wars world and they can watch their demonic infestation problems fade away."
I don't care how much of a happy ending and powers you have that's BULLSHIT. I'm glad she didn't die but are you fucking serious, NON ONE could've survived that
Smang It Drums Yeah, but at least THOSE actually function as schools while also being Christian. As far as can be seen, the Virgin Fleet schools teach classes EXCLUSIVELY regarding virgin energy.
Word is, you could host the mother of all drinking games with this anime. Everyone takes a drink every time someone mentions 'virgin energy'. Yes, EVERY time.
The idea of virginity providing some kind of mystical power is not anything new. Hell, ancient Egyptians already had that thing in there religion. Here however it's just stupid, training so long to control that power just to lose it on your wedding night?
Stop. Just stop. About 6 minutes in. This show is bad enough to make a dedicated Eva hatter APOLOGIZE to a copy of End of Evangelion?!?!?!??! The only way for there to have been more Impact, pun unintended and then noticed, would have been to use a copy of New Theatrical Edition Q, or 3.33.
God Damn!........... I've seen a lot of Anime that made me frown and facepalm, but this show has got to be the the single most asinine piece of shit ever. holy shit.
Memory loss is a common side-effect of a concussion. You lose a few seconds or a few minutes before the head injury. It's not GOOD, but it's not that bad. I'd be happy if that's all that happened to me.
Honestly, I when shows pull the whole *CHARACTER WHO OBVIOUSLY DIED BC WHO THE FUCK SURVIVES SOMETHING LIKE THAT IS ACTUALLY STILL ALIVE!* shit. I mean, if I like the character and it's done well in the narrative (which it rarely is), then I don't mind it. Like in FMA:B, when they faked Maria Ross's death. Then again, I could see the whole reveal where Maria wasn't actually dead coming a mile away, but I digress. But in shows like this one, it was just pure stupidity. It's the same shit that the Akuma no Riddle anime pulled and it's almost always annoying as fuck.
Picked her up... in a fishing net?! NO! NO NO NO NO NO!! Fucking how?! That Rusky went full kamikaze on that idiot! How does she survive? Did her bullshit purity powers give her the ability to survive a burning plane crash and then be able to breathe underwater? Wait... yeah, that's probably what it was ಠ_ಠ
Ah, the typical plot points of every harem anime ever made. Male protagonist gets blue balled and treated like dogshit. Female likes male but show doesn't really do anything with there relationship, so what's the point. And this is ultimate reason as to why Macross original and Plus are the best harem anything period.
Why in the hell would one country allow another country that they are at war with to test its experimental aircraft, let alone in a cease-fire?! This show is just full of stupid in the worst possible way.
So let me guess, according to this show virgin girls can use special energy join the military and possibly fly air jets, drive/control speed boats and even control water? I wonder why some christians aren't taking advantage of this? xD
Usually when someone says "he/she doesn't remember a thing" they mean they don't remember ANYTHING. Like, not even who they are. The misunderstanding was, well, understandable. XD
The messed up thing is it's similar in concept to this hentai called Angel Core. But reverse the virginity aspect... and well yeah... you get the core of these angel like people that power mecha like machines... *face palms.* I swear they could be two of the same story if you watched them both at the same time while drunk.
1:50 it's actually awesome for an Brit to hear an American to use the word "tripe" . Tripe is actually thing but it's pretty shitty! In summary A load of Tripe =A load of shit
I swear, did Kathleen Kennedy or Kate Leth secretly help write this anime and try to foist it off as Oji Hiroi to try to backstab him? Kennedy too was both misandric and misogynistic at the same time...then again, Hiroi also made Legend of Himiko which equally sucks, but is only slightly more watchable. And fun fact, 12:41-12:46, that's Megan Hollingshead voicing Satsuki (the name of that girl), way before she voiced Mai from Yu-Gi-Oh, whilst Shiokaze/Cocktease was voiced by Jessica Calvello, and boy are they hamming it up here, though I can't really blame them due to that godawful script. Funnily enough also, Red Sonja/Nikola also looks like Reccoa Londe from _Zeta Gundam_ if Reccoa joined the Red Army. 😝
by the person who created Sakura Wars?? .. but.. but... i love Sakura Wars, it's so fun! Why is Virgin Fleet so goddamn terrible, was it his b-material?
One thing that annoys me in any media is when virginity is treated like its magic or a curse. Its so fucking stupid and insulting that just because someone never gave it up their considered either magical and/or childish and/or innocently naive and/or a loser. I don't see it done much anymore, but when it is its jarring. I can tolerate very few.

Another plot hole. Who says she has to give up her powers if she marries her fiance'. You can be married and still be a virgin.
Sounds like a boring marriage
Exactly.
This would make virgin energy "widow energy" or something
Also, she could just wait until after the war is over to get married and/or consummate the marriage.
@@supernova4226Actually, it would be called “Spinster Energy”. A widow is a married person who lost their spouse. A spinster is a person who’s unmarried.

The idea of virginity providing some kind of mystical power is not anything new. Hell, ancient Egyptians already had that thing in there religion. Here however it's just stupid, training so long to control that power just to lose it on your wedding night?
Mexican Chupacabra Division is a great idea for someone
I think you could use a palate cleanser Sage my boy .... how .. about ... Kekko Kamen or maybe ... Super Atragon.
John SmithDE In order: OH GOD NO!!! And he did Super Atragon.
Stop. Just stop. About 6 minutes in. This show is bad enough to make a dedicated Eva hatter APOLOGIZE to a copy of End of Evangelion?!?!?!??! The only way for there to have been more Impact, pun unintended and then noticed, would have been to use a copy of New Theatrical Edition Q, or 3.33.
After watching this, there is only one thing to say. RELEASE. THE. TENTACLE. MONSTERS. NOW.
19.40 Ah "The-Dues-ex-Machina-character-is-alive-gimmick" Bennet, Your Anger would destroy Solar Systems if you would ever review Mai-HiME.
So about that ending stinger... ever going to follow up on that or...?
Just askin'
"nobody believes in virgin energy despite there being documented video evidence".
... Yeaaah that phrase sums up 2019-2021 so far.
God Damn!........... I've seen a lot of Anime that made me frown and facepalm, but this show has got to be the the single most asinine piece of shit ever. holy shit.
What makes me laugh the hardest is that the doofus boyfriend is Crispin FUCKING Freeman. Alucard himself!
gantzisballs NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
gantzisballs 0_O
Aprion Did you watch Infinte Stratos? I thought that anime was stupid, this just proves me wrong.
Memory loss is a common side-effect of a concussion. You lose a few seconds or a few minutes before the head injury. It's not GOOD, but it's not that bad. I'd be happy if that's all that happened to me.
"just been informed" that this was made by the same guy who made Sakura Wars? IT'S ON THE FRONT OF THE CASE!
Benett you genius!! there is an anime idea right there, Chupacabra Squad!!! now available on VHS and BETA
Considering that science says virginity is a myth, I agree completely with your outrage.
I don't know what song you had playing there but that bit of you with the brick is way funnier with just the Foley
Virgin energy?
That's a new kind of stupid XD.
5:19 some where a Mexican general watching this just spit out is taco thinking their anti-chupacabra devision has been discovered.
Honestly, I when shows pull the whole *CHARACTER WHO OBVIOUSLY DIED BC WHO THE FUCK SURVIVES SOMETHING LIKE THAT IS ACTUALLY STILL ALIVE!* shit. I mean, if I like the character and it's done well in the narrative (which it rarely is), then I don't mind it. Like in FMA:B, when they faked Maria Ross's death. Then again, I could see the whole reveal where Maria wasn't actually dead coming a mile away, but I digress. But in shows like this one, it was just pure stupidity. It's the same shit that the Akuma no Riddle anime pulled and it's almost always annoying as fuck.
FMA: B was written by someone who obviously had a fucking clue as to what they were doing.
23:08 No need to worry. An American DVD won't work on an Australian DVD player, due to the different region codes.
Picked her up... in a fishing net?! NO! NO NO NO NO NO!! Fucking how?!
That Rusky went full kamikaze on that idiot! How does she survive? Did her bullshit purity powers give her the ability to survive a burning plane crash and then be able to breathe underwater?
Wait... yeah, that's probably what it was ಠ_ಠ
Ah, the typical plot points of every harem anime ever made. Male protagonist gets blue balled and treated like dogshit. Female likes male but show doesn't really do anything with there relationship, so what's the point. And this is ultimate reason as to why Macross original and Plus are the best harem anything period.
now now we'll get through this ordeal together!
Why in the hell would one country allow another country that they are at war with to test its experimental aircraft, let alone in a cease-fire?! This show is just full of stupid in the worst possible way.
"Virgin Energy" sounds like what Enron would have been called if bought out by Sir Richard Branson.
OMG that thumbnail talk about Worst Blue Balls Ever
You know it's a dumb premise when it can be used either for conservative religious propaganda or a porn.
Yes! Men's Rights jokes! Those bastards will never stop being funny
You were referring to the anime version of Love Hina, right?
i liked the python reference at the end
So let me guess, according to this show virgin girls can use special energy join the military and possibly fly air jets, drive/control speed boats and even control water?
I wonder why some christians aren't taking advantage of this? xD
Exactly! Bush totally missed the boat on that one XD
Cuz they’re sleeping around too?
Loved the Pink Floyd reference at 19:47
"She's fine."
Two seconds later...
"She doesn't remember a thing."
Because losing your memory is TOTALLY a good thing.
Usually when someone says "he/she doesn't remember a thing" they mean they don't remember ANYTHING. Like, not even who they are. The misunderstanding was, well, understandable. XD
Wait WHAT? The music was removed? Isn't it public domain because I swear I've heard it in old shows and cartoons before this.
CZcams is stupid like that.
Chepacapra attack!!! Go my minions!!!
15:27 protip unless your the red baron don't paint your plane red it makes you a giant target
The messed up thing is it's similar in concept to this hentai called Angel Core. But reverse the virginity aspect... and well yeah... you get the core of these angel like people that power mecha like machines... *face palms.* I swear they could be two of the same story if you watched them both at the same time while drunk.
1:50 it's actually awesome for an Brit to hear an American to use the word "tripe" . Tripe is actually thing but it's pretty shitty! In summary A load of Tripe =A load of shit
avgn should of used the clip at 19:50
The ending is actually so much funnier without whatever the music was.
This anime is a insult to historians and lovers of common sense
I swear, did Kathleen Kennedy or Kate Leth secretly help write this anime and try to foist it off as Oji Hiroi to try to backstab him? Kennedy too was both misandric and misogynistic at the same time...then again, Hiroi also made Legend of Himiko which equally sucks, but is only slightly more watchable.
And fun fact, 12:41-12:46, that's Megan Hollingshead voicing Satsuki (the name of that girl), way before she voiced Mai from Yu-Gi-Oh, whilst Shiokaze/Cocktease was voiced by Jessica Calvello, and boy are they hamming it up here, though I can't really blame them due to that godawful script. Funnily enough also, Red Sonja/Nikola also looks like Reccoa Londe from _Zeta Gundam_ if Reccoa joined the Red Army. 😝
I keep getting the feeling that Japan orchestrated their own declining birthrate with anime like this.
The plot holes aren't the only holes that need to be filled.
BennettTheSage ur SIN THE MOVIE REVIEW ISNT AVAILABLE ON UR CZcams CHANNEL
15:17 KAMIKAZE -THIS- BITCH!
by the person who created Sakura Wars?? .. but.. but... i love Sakura Wars, it's so fun!
Why is Virgin Fleet so goddamn terrible, was it his b-material?
Virginity...virginity never changes...
I thought this was going to be a Yuri
Not gonna lie, dont think i miss the era of the rage review much
One thing that annoys me in any media is when virginity is treated like its magic or a curse. Its so fucking stupid and insulting that just because someone never gave it up their considered either magical and/or childish and/or innocently naive and/or a loser. I don't see it done much anymore, but when it is its jarring. I can tolerate very few.
yes yes it was.... also wonder how they managed that cameo when the guy was working on a short film XD
4 minutes and 50 seconds, and the premise is botched by a voodoo shark by a simple quote. WOW.
been meaning to ask, but why do you show Sensor Kaiser for like half a second during your intro?
matt fahringer
yeah, but he passes by so quickly, you barely have time to register him. literal blink-and-you-miss-it stuff.
Just caught it! Cocktease wears the same pilot uniform as Don Karnage! So many unrealized Talespin jokes.
@12:30 Not to be pedantic or anything, but if they lined up in a fashion where they could shoot the person to their right it would be a single rank line. Hence the term: "rank and file."
15:43 war never changes
Not gonna lie, I laughed harder than I should've on that.
18:34 kinda like the ripple
19:54 sweet "the wall" reference, brah.
