At a con I once asked him how he schedules his uploads. 1 week for picking the title watching and writing, 1 week for shooting, 1 week for editing. Layer that on top of itself and you have 3 weeks of output for 5 weeks of effort.
Christian Neihart Wow, I only just now realized that. And here I was about to make a joke like, "By the time he uploads the next one the month will probably be over anyway." :P
All that yellow Sage is wearing looks like a better version of Belle's dress from the live action Beauty and the Beast. Also, Those robots with the cop hats look like something from Futurama.
The way Ross pronounces Naomi in the film is the way the Japanese actually pronounce the name. "Naomi," pronounced "Na-oh-mee," is a fairly common Japanese name. I have at least two students with the name. So, sorry Sage, people DO pronounce it Na-oh-mee.
Yes, the secret to creating life is in a woman's heart...that's why there are no bad mothers and every pregnancy is wanted. If only that were the case, think of all the money that could be saved on birth control.
I think the way they were trying to go with that "It takes more than a female body to make babies" thing was in a nature vs nurture kinda way. Like you can have a baby and become a parent but that doesn't mean you are BEING a parent. I think....

It's strange. Usually Hollywood actors are pretty good at voice acting. Hell, some of them like Tim Curry, Patrick Stewart, Clancy Brown, Ron Perlman, Miguel Ferrer and of course Mark Hamill even managed to have a career out of voice acing.
That depends on a LOT of factors. Voice acting is a lot different than normal acting, and a lot of an actor's performance is lost when you don't see them. Eye movements, facial expressions, physical actions, etc. Dubs are also especially hard because they have to follow lip movements, and as such have to follow a beat and carefully match up their words with how the original portrays it. Good directors can guide an actor through this, but a lack of experience in voiceover can be a problem. For all of your examples, there are plenty of counter examples where Hollywood actors are thrown into voice work and it failing pretty hard.
My only complaint is that you somehow saw that and though she was doing a german suplex, that was more of a ... 3rd rope jump to a pile driver.... the animation is fluid enough to even show how she did it...
I'll say this much: While the Armitage series (Movies and OVAs) hasn't really held up all that well it did introduce me to the cyber punk genre of anime so I at least have to give it that much
I think they could be a really good series of movies if they get a modern adaptation with a decent to smooth out the pacing issues cause the core story isn't bad
I love Armitage, personally. Poly-matrix was one of my earliest anime viewings and I was overjoyed when the OVAs got released. Dual Matrix makes a fine sequel if all you really wanted was to see Naomi Armitage get some happiness in Life.
Still love this movie.....it’s total jam and cheese but I love it. Also on a personal note I’d like to extend congratulations on the weight loss man. Seriously that’s not an easy thing to do. Keep it up.
I honestly think we are transitioning from the vampire/fantasy era into the cyberpunk/Scifi era of pop culture. Blade Runner 2049, Judge Dredd: Megacity One, Cyberpunk 2077, Westworld, Valarian and the City of a Thousand Planets, Ghost in the Shell, Altered Carbon, Dune, Dark Tower, Avatar, Star Wars forever, yada, yada, yada.
Got my copy in an Armitage III twin dvd pack at Suncoast so long ago. I thought it was ruined by the CG style overhaul, but hearing Juliette Lewis even then made my skin crawl. There was an episode of Real Word or some other generic Mtv show where the crew went on a trip to Japan, and got to tour a DUB studio where they re-dubbed parts from the first Armitage. Truly terrible. Fuck yeah, BM66!
4:05 Sage, human beings are not unique in appearance. There are several web services designed to find random strangers who look exactly the same as you, and they will work for everyone at least once. Often more than once, think of how many celeberty look alikes there are. Think of it this way, if you're one in a million, then there are 8 of you in New York City alone. Across the entire world, there would be ~7,600 of you. No one would suspect a thing if they made a few thousand Naomi's and distributed them across the globe according to population density. In fact, that's exactly what they would do because you seem to have no concept of just how expensive it is to retool a factory to produce a separate model of a product. They'd use those uh, face molds? till they broke/wore down too much, THEN make a new model and because of how humans work none would be the wiser.
Man as someone who used to live in SR I keep being reminded of places I miss whenever you go outside. I recognize all of the places you go and I almost feel like I know where you live even though I havent been there in seven years
Ugh celebrity voices in anime are always a crap shoot. It was always just a gimmick to try and "legitimize" anime and it's usually rushed crap like it is here unless the actor has some VO experience. It works in Hollywood because they have time and money to coach the actors and redo takes a million times. In small time anime dubs they probably have the celeb for a couple of days and they have no time to coach or do more then a few takes of everything. I mean shit back in the day dubs were such rush jobs even when they weren't paying through the ass to hire a name.
Bennet: He wants to know how the Thirds can conceive life. So that way, he can create a utopia of servile women that will give birth to even more servile people AND IF YOU OPEN YOUR MOUTH RIGHT NOW, I WILL GET YOU FIXED! Suave: *mimes zipping his lips* Beautiful.
Getting actors that mostly do live action TV or film is always a crap shoot. Just look at Peter Dinklage. Great actor, but it all seems to go out the window when you put him in a sound booth.
PaceBreaker Productions there's no denying that either, as nostalgia critic pointed that out back in his top 11 good things about the Star Wars prequel, but at the same time there are actors that have pretty much played the same kind of character and personality, much like Nathan Fillion as Malcolm Reynolds and Richard castle, though castle does act more humorous than Malcolm.
Not that you likely care, but Naomi as pronounced in this feature is an actual Japanese name, completely unrelated to "Nay-omi" pronounced version most of us on this side of the planet are used to.
Sage i'm a big fan of the show and even though this is my first time commenting (meaning I've never commented on any other you tube video yet) I felt that I sincerely needed to say this. Please, please have the last video for this cyber punk month be Battle Angle Alita of course if it isn't on the scheduled don't worry about it.
I saw the first Film on Techtv when it was still owned by Pioneer. Now watching the new prints on Funmation it's just weird seeing the Universal studios vanity plate on them. With full fanfare since the library. Is now owned by NBC Universal Japan.
@BennettTheSage You wanna know something, I own the entire Armitage Trilogy (The Pioneer Releases) Got Armitage: Dual Matrix first at a GameXchange then I ordered a copy of Armitage: Poly Matrix and a copy of Armitage III OVA Series.
For comments on premise up to 4:38 - 1) Data can be stored in the network and copied, and large industrial science project are never performed single-handedly therefore chances of all data on III-rds being lost, including Armitage model, are ridiculous; 2) The project overall was actually a success, and after the events of the first part, outlook on III could've changed one way or another, or the government could just force the population increase program upon the population legally, making all blending-in stuff redundant; 3) and finally, the blending-in stuff was for testing purposes, as a Turing test squared. After the test was successfully passed, there is, yet again, no reason to continue the conspiracy.
Hack the Planet is from the movie "Hackers" I own this movie, mostly because I have the Polymatrix movie, the OAVs and both sound tracks, so I had to get this movie. Oh well, live and learn.
Slips into full body copper infused leather suit with hundreds of straps and chains, tapes usb cords to neck, puts on anti-surveillance camouflage... Ok, I'm ready.
To be fair Sagat isn't a villain at the moment in the SF canon and even when he was working for Bison he wasn't really evil compared to characters like Balrog and Vega. Although yes that facial design does seem to imply he is a villain. EDIT: Plot point but didn't the President come to the conclusion after Armitage's speech that what his problem with his Third types wasn't the hardware but the software? Still a silly plot point but a valid one so to speak.
I know this is the wrong video, but I was thinking back to the first Armitage "movie" and you know what would have made the plot point about killing the thirds work? Make Mars an earth controlled colony and have it be law that a colony can only become independent once it's population reaches a certain size. The Third line was created to facilitate an increased birth rate, but Earth can't have Mars becoming independent because they're strip mining the planet for rare minerals found under the planet's crust (or some similar thing), so a corporate cabal bribed politicians to turn public opinion against the sex robots because they're trying to maintain control of the planet's resources.
Im interested in seeing Black Magic M-66 soon. Ill try to save my comments for that video. However I do want to say its the OVA that I can really think of as an clipped "episode" of something.
Actually ... you should probably just read the manga. M-66 is a (very) loose adaptation of one part of a chapter, and is not an accurate representation of Masamune's original story.
9:01 And somehow NOT knock over the guy with chunks of the wall he stood in front of. 10:23 Ah, the "Rian Johnson" gambit. Gotta subvert those expectations.
I want to make a sprite-based game about the adventures of The CyberSage! :D Damn it, Sage, you always find a way to distract me from your video by showing me something that tingles my nethers. Freakin' Juliette Lewis with her freckled bosom and sexy armpit pose... >:O You know, I think I feel the same way about Armitage that I do about Lightning from Final Fantasy. The character's potential just outshines the frustratingly inferior contexts she's most commonly thrust into. Only this time, even the aforementioned contexts have their own unrealized potential. Honestly, I feel like it would have been better if they'd tried to adapt Armitage as a Hollywood film instead of Ghost in The Shell. Haha, "He has his ED-209 Kool-Aid Man into the room," that's one of the best lines I've heard from anyone ever. XD You know, my name is Naomi. Some day I will be mostly robot, if transhumanism catches up in time. I bet some day I'll have an army of Naomi clones, too. I'll let you have visits from one for free. :3 Also, "nah-oh-mee" is more common than you think. It's the standard Japanese pronunciation as the name itself is actually occasionally given to girls there. I *think* it's also the original Hebrew pronunciation, too? To be honest, I've gone by both pronunciations in my lifetime, you know, whichever feels more comfortable for whoever is saying my name, like a nickname sorta thing. :o
Ugh, I remember the twin fight scene. I remember it starting off well and me enjoying it at first. Then it kept going.... and going.... and going..... and going.... and going.... and going.... and going.... and going.... and going.... and going.... and going.... and going.... and going.... and going.... and going.... and going.... and going.... and going.... and going.... and going.... and going.... and going.... and going.... and going.... and going.... and going.... and going.... and going.... and going.... and going.... and going.... and going.... and going.... and going.... and going.... and going.... and going.... and going.... and going.... and going.... and going.... and going.... and going.... and going.... and going.... and going.... and going.... and going.... and going.... and going.... and going.... and going.... and going.... and going.... and going.... and going.... and going.... and going.... and going.... and going.... and going.... and going.... and going.... and going.... and going.... and going.... and going.... and going.... and going.... and going.... and going.... and going.... and going.... and going.... and going.... and going.... and going.... and going.... and going.... and going.... and going.... and going.... and going.... and going.... and going.... and going.... and going.... and going.... and going.... and going.... and going.... and going.... and going.... and going.... and going.... and going.... and going.... and going.... and going.... and going.... and going.... and going.... and going.... and going.... and going.... and going.... I didn't count the time, so I didn't realize that it was 30 FUCKING MINUTES. But, my god, I believe it.
5:28 that's extra funny when you realize the person voicing that creepy looking dude is also the guy who voices M Bison in the Street fighter animated film.
I first saw Armitage III back on the Scifi channel back in the 1990s. I remember seeing this film packaged with the original Armitage Poly-Matrix in some stores. Much later saw this movie on the Scifi channel's renewed(and later cancelled) anime nights. I can agree with basically everything said in this video. Thats not a good thing as usually I think about the positives as a counterpoint. Armitage Dual Matrix. It was wasted potential about using androids to reproduce humans as a sub-human slave race on Mars. You could write a whole book about that, and Im sure someone actually has. Its hilariously bad how "love" is required to make humans. Um tell that to all the children of rape. I better not hear or read someone saying rape is enjoyable.
If this is cyberpunk month, that means robots, which means I'm hoooooping for a Nier: Automata joke at some point. The bootybot, the 9Psycho, something. Assuming Sage has played the game, of course. 19:01 "Heaven's Light", an HP attack used by Sephiroth in Dissidia Final Fantasy. Sooo...Yup, Sage was right.
What's the mystery? About how "thirds" make babies? Artificial wombs. We have these today, though they are experimental at best. Though they aren't that large. They should be even more advanced by the time this anime takes place. Just manufacture them, it should be easy enough, what with the tech they have.
Oh hey, the only reason I knew about this was because of a how to draw anime book I have. Never ever knew the name, but it featured art of the main character. Also, why does she really look like the main girl from Blue Gender?
