Hot take: Discovery and Gorillaz were the most influential albums of the ‘00’s

Interstella 5555 is seriously one of the most underrated movies of all time

I wish Random Access Memories album can be turned into a movie just like Discovery album

a couple weeks ago i was at kumoricon and i cosplayed stella from this movie to compete in the cosplay contest, i was thinking that at best like two or three people would recognize me but i kept getting stopped every other minute by people who told me about how much they love interstella and daft punk and how much everything meant to them and it made me so so happy that there are still a lot of people out there that love the movie just as much as i do this one person walked up to me and said that it meant so much to them to see it being cosplayed and that i made them really happy, and another told me that his family was super into the movie and he was so surprised to see me and that his daughter had always planned on cosplaying her and seeing me made her want to do it case in point i should bring stella to more cons haha, shes a lot to wear with her facepaint and the wig i made for her is huge so its also hard to wear so i can only wear her for a few hours at a time but whenever i do its always sooo worth it to see peoples reactions and make a few people happy

The end always makes wonder if the whole story wasn't the dream of a child.

2:25 WHOA DUDE YOU CAN'T JUST REVEAL HIS FACE LIKE THAT

Demon Days and Discovery are the best influential records of the 00’s

If they come back in 2020, *_I will actually cry tears of joy_*

16:33 "Human After All", "Bring Life Back to Music"... Nice sneaky references to DP's future tracks, I like it

they like The Powerpuff Girls; men of culture

My favorite DP album.

"Four-Five"? I've been calling it "Fifty-Five Fifty-Five" for 20 years. 😐

This was a beautiful essay, very well rounded and thought out, i love discovery and you did it justice

I never thought I would see a video about Interstella 5555 in 2019! Discovery is my favorite album of all time

Great stuff thank you. Clearly a lot of work put into this. I never knew anything about anime or even much about Daft Punk when I met my husband 15 or so years ago. And on his birthday i bought the DVD of this for him as I heard he wanted it. He proposed to me that night and we watched this in celebration. I will never forget it. Now i know a lot about anime and this music, so a whole new world has opened thanks to his great taste in music and culture!!

Something about us is my favorite from the album. That song makes me cry every time I hear it

I'm getting into Daft Punk, and I decided to watch Interstella 5555 last night. It was awesome. Absolutely no regrets.

Now i know why Daft Punk's music videos with the blue anime aliens were looking so familiar all throughout my childhood, and why they reminded me of Galaxy Express 999

Gotta be honest, Interstella is the best movie I've watched. It's the reason I love Daft Punk in the first place, and even though I don't listen to them as much as I used to, I still have some of my favorites like Face to Face and Aerodynamic in my spotify playlist.

My dad would always have Discovery playing on shuffle whenever he’d pick me up from my Ma’s. We’d be shooting down the freeway in his red Acura, listening to Aerodynamic. Real happy I snagged a copy of this movie

I loved Interstella 5555 so much, got a copy at 8 and my God did I watch the hell out of it

I have this on DVD. Discovery is my favorite album, and Interstella 5555: The 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar 5ystem is one of my favorite movies.

I wish the future looked as cool as this albums anime. But instead we got this timeline.

Interstella 5555 is unique i love it, imo it's Daft Punk's best ever work, beautiful anime and a unique story.

@5:15 how the f did u get Thomas bangalter?

Interstella 5555 was honestly, absolutely incredible! The animation is actually pretty good for its time, the storyline is fascinating, and of course, Daft Punk's music is spot on. I love this film a lot, but I feel like a lot of people don't really talk about it (or really acknowledge it for that matter). Thank you for not being one of those people. (Fun Fact: This film actually introduced me to Matsumoto Leiji and his animating style AND Daft Punk, and was the first Daft Punk album I ever listened to. I also discovered the fascinating way they sampled older artist's music and how they shaped different parts and sounds to create awesome tracks. Discovery is now my favorite Daft Punk album and I literally play it every day.)

When I was a kid I watched MTV only for Interstella 5555

This is the second time I've seen this yet it now feels different after what recently happened to Daft Punk.

Thank you so SO much for making this, I've been looking for a video on Interstella 5555 like this for MONTHS and my thirst has finally been quenched :)

This is probably one of the best examples of show don’t tell.

I agree; it really is inspiring how fresh this movie (featurette?) still is! Believe it or not, I only learned about this album/movie by cruising RU-vid just 2 years ago! And the only part I recognized was 'One More Time', from late-night MTV re-runs! This is exactly why it's such a shame that concept-albums (and bands, period) are almost entirely a thing of the past. Things like this are a perfect representation of how multiple art-forms can come together to create something transcendent! Great video! =)

Ayy I'm always happy to see more reviews of this legendary film

Loved this vid, just one correction: 17:46 = Porter Robinson, despite Madeon's collaboration, Shelter is PR's project

To give it some perspective, any wider variety of anime was mostly aired and popular in France. Here in 80s/90s The Netherlands we mostly got stuff aimed at young kids as far as I know. In Paris you can currently find manga ads on the subway.

Excellent discussion. As an older anime fan, when I first watched Interstella, it was a step back into my personal past with anime. The iconic designs of the characters and simple techniques tell an amazing story. Shemp's large eyes and big pupils indicate an innocence and soft kindness, while the villain's small, beady eyes indicate a narrow view of the world, seeing everyone as nothing but tools to accomplish his goals. These are simple designs that help tell a wordless story. This is missing in a LOT of not just anime, but animation and even comics today. Awesome job. Interstella deserves all the love and attention it gets, and probably more. Keep up the good work.

Just watched this movie a day ago thanks for the vid

Thank you for making this. Daft Punk has played a very important part of my life and I hope that no one forgets their masterpieces.

“Cyberpunk hours” Me: I’m not depressed , it’s cyberpunk hours 🥰

I adore this album and movie. Well explained!

I recorded the first four tracks from Toonami on a VHS tape which my brother and I watched so much that they were destroyed. I now have a niece under a year old named Stella and I don't think my brother understands why she's named that.

RIP DAFTPUNK

I've seen this movie so many times, I always watch it on long flights it calms me and I think it's incredibly underrated.

One of the godliest movies out there

Thank you so much for this breakdown. I have seen a few on this topic but your approach and your style is most wonderful. All is in harmony. Weldon 👍

First and foremost...thank you! For creating this! I LOVE the Discovery Album and consider it one of the best albums of all time. Also because it is a story in itself if you listen to the whole album by itself. But thank you so much Stevem

It's seems like, how another video describes it, anime was popular throughout South America before the US caught on. The US was late with its introduction to this media.

It really is the coolest thing when in Face To Face it's revealed to the world that the Crescendolls are aliens, and everyone has the same thought... "Well, we'd better get them home." (On an unrelated note: good work on all the Daft Punk song title puns in the script.)

Captain Harlock was available here in Finland as well, on VHS. I had all but forgotten it, as I was maybe 7-8 years old when I last saw it. But I immediately recognized that scar.

Loved Discovery when it was released. Loved anime at the same time. I watched the video segments of the first four tracks when they got played on TV as advertisement for the movie(had it on MTV here in the UK far as I remember), and I got the DVD soon as it released 2003. It seemed largely unknown for a long time but I'm glad it's become known to a whole lot more people with the help of youtube.

I wish there was a true HD release. The blu-ray is an upconvert from the DVD release.

thank you youtube recommendations! I've been looking for someone talking about how amazing this album is!

Genuinely brilliant video. The discovery album and Interstellar are both truly something special. Discovery was the sound of my Childhood and Interstellar introduced me into the world of anime

This, Numa Numa, and Blue Da Ba Dee were the best music videos created. Plus, the animation reminds me of Sonic X, Pokémon, Dragonball Z, and Naruto.

Discovery was ahead of its time.

I don't know why, but I would love to see the second part of this movie. Despite the fact that many years have passed, I want to continue.

2020: The Return of Techno

what a grand piece on music and anime surely you deserve more subscriber to your intensting news feed channel.

Awesome video, thanks my man 👍

I remember seeing the music videos on tv over and over again, but i was so used to our tv culture being years behind the west that i didn't realise it was brand new, and not decades old. I guess those music videos featuring Ghost in the Shell and Patlabor didn't help either. Anyway its a dear memory from my childhood, which is pretty on the nose isn't it?

This was wonderful. Thank you so much. I love this movie

Great video! (Thx for putting on the subtitles too) I subscribe.

One more time is til this day one of their greatest song ever

The glory years of the early 2000s! It was thanks to Toonami, I got a clear picture of who Daft Punk was right alongside fellow mystery artists Gorillaz. They both have this sense of anonymity and that's okay. It's what makes them and their respective works enjoyable!

This is finally getting a 4K release

I love this album and I love this movie. Top 3 tracks for me would be: 1. One more Time 2. Face to Face 3. Digital Love

I grew up watching captain harlock, galaxy railways, galaxy express 999, and Space Battleship Yamato. All great shows that hold up today. Highly recommend these shows and if possible review these

Fantastic video! keep up the great work Stevem! :)

Although it's pretty cool this channel has 69K subs (😎)... it is CRIMINALLY underrated!

Great video!! Daft Punk is dope and animation is dope

Also lives on in my DVD collection (looks back at it in great joy)

So often artists decide how to place/decide (how to place) their tracks into an album. I had No Indra they made this into a movie/anime before it was an album. I've always loved this album and felt like this movie was a ment to be and I didn't know why, I was so surprised when you revealed at the beginning that it was a ment to be… You said four five, is that how it's supposed to be said? I just watched 'breaking the habbit' today funny you referenced it at the end there, I noticed immediately that that was made by the same guy who did the Kill Bill scene But damn thanks, I had no idea about alot of this thanks so much for all the work you put into this video, not just the edit, but the research I learned alot about one of my favourite albums and band. So thanks for your dedication to producing a good video/project. So glad I watched this. I may not watch more of your vids but I will sub and that ding ding bell. Well done thanks again.

I just watched an AI upscaled version of this same film, and then went looking for video comments on it. And got to the part about AI upscaling, and had to comment: hey, they exist now. :-}

This has taught me that westerners can indeed go to Japan and make an Anime

man... i love your videos!

2:43 Ah yes, my favorite song

Aww they had candy candy love that anime

Excellent video, explains a lot. This film means so much to me that I'm thinking to do an animation tribute of One more time but with characters from a cartoon. Not sure if I will ever finish it but time will tell.

I remember hearing one more time when I was younger and I never knew about them till I got older glad I did shoutout to toonami for putting me on interstellar

Imagine interstella 5555 rework on 2020.

This movie is the reason it bothers me so much that the original version of “One More Time” was replaced with a single edit on a lot of music streaming services; instead of ending abruptly when the band is kidnapped, it just fades out. That might sound better in a playlist of assorted songs from different artists, but it messes with the flow of the album.

Remember watching this when I was young

Early Japanese Anime was entering American television, and becoming highly popular, since the late '60's with shows such as Prince Planet, 8 Man, Marine Boy, Kimba the White Lion and Speed Racer. This was due to the quirky development of the UHF stations in many cities, which desperately needed shows for presentation, and along comes American International with lots of different packages of Japanese cartoons and movies to show. Those early Japanese cartoons were a hit with the kids (including me). Although their target audience was primarily children's television, still, it was Japanese Anime nonetheless. Popularity would increase, albeit very slowly in the '70's as American animation dominated Saturday morning television shows, but some Japanese cartoons found their way into the daily lineups for after school television. Starblazers, the Americanized version of Space Battleship Yamato, would thrive on the popularity of Science Fiction in the period just after Star Wars. Then, several years later, Robotech would hit in '85, as many of the former elementary school 8 Man and Speed Racer fans were then entering college. It was this timeline that paved the way for the popularity of Akira, Macross and Record of Lodoss War. It was a unique slice of American, and World History, with definitive sociological effects, including a seeming preference for Japanese animation styles, with American animation styles disappearing. Most American animation is actually done in South Korea nowadays. I think the fact that in Japan, Anime was seen as an art form and method of storytelling, while in America, animation was seen as the appetizer before the main feature in the cinemas, kind of like the warm up band at a rock concert, or primarily an advertising tool, used to sell products from Alka Seltzer to Corn Flakes and Pop Tarts on Saturday Mornings. Of course, that's why Saturday morning cartoons were developed. Children's programming to sell children's products to the baby boom generation. We got some gems from the era, but, animation was diminished in the American mind nonetheless. But, if you get a chance, there is some animation gold out there that is worth seeing, such as the hand-painted beauty of the very early Superman cartoons. And I don't have time to discuss the animation of Disney and some of the other studios. Right now I think I'll pop in Filmation's Flash Gordon, and then watch some Starblazers. I'll watch Record of Lodoss War later.

I’m glad I’m not the only one who knows this

I absolutely love Interstella 5555 God I remember about 12 years ago taking mushrooms ad watching it all the way through twice then staring at the ceiling thinking about if that story was fact or fiction. If theres a galaxy where everyone looks like they do in the movie and all that. Eventually falling asleep next to my friend and his girlfriend on my shitty reclining couch type thing (kinda like a futon). Man those were the days.

in the 00's France was the second biggest Manga consumer, the first one being obviously Japan

Wow. I just watched it this week again. Maybe that's the reason why I got this recommended.

Yes I have this on DVD

One more time was the first music video I ever watched online.

Great video! I wanna do a video on this movie as well haha

This movie was my whole childhood

Interstella is both my favorite album and movie of all time. Discovery is easily THE album of the 2000's, setting the bar for an entire new century of sound. I highly believe that if Discovery had not become popular as it did, 2000's music would sound a lot different than it does now. Almost 20 years later, it is still their best work, and that is saying A LOT compared to their other albums, but it just shows how immortalized Interstella has become. Everyone should watch this move AT LEAST once!

This movie was the bomb..

Thanks, very cool.

Cool vid. As a suggestion, keeping with the theme of music and anime, I'd love to see you breakdown Miyazaki's one-off science-fantasy MV On Your Mark

*My favotite anime movie*

Yeah Toonami was probably how I learned of this music. Its funny this video is coming out now when I just started watching Galaxy Express 999 a few days ago.

Yea thanks for posting this and R.I.P. Romanthony. Also how do you get the names of each member of the group?

How come there's no more movies like from some artist's music album?

No Time right now, but I'll hopefully watch it later, love your vids.
