Gundress: The BIGGEST DISASTER In Anime Film History (ANIME ABANDON) 

It also depends on your budget and art style. For example Spider-Man Into the Spider-verse took 1 year just to nail the animation style before they even actually properly begun making the movie.

@@brendanmilburn9067 Even just doing "Rejected Era" Don Hertzfeldt style animation is a royal pain in the ass.

Depends on the tools you're using and your level of ambition, the greater the ambition the more time effort is involved triply so in the days cell animation and optical cameras. Storyboarding and key framing I think are one the least understood and appreciated elements of the animation process. The visual bones of the art, you blow it there every other step in the visual process that follows suffers Of course if you go with what I call the Ken Burns (even though he didn't invent it) slow pan approach to "animation" you can churn that crap out in pretty short order hell at that point its nearly more strait video editing than animation.

YIKES

Truth, unless you got some masterwork level people it ain't happening especially when it is stuff they don't understand. People wonder why a lot of animations outside of bigger projects are much simpler

I think Masamune Shirow would be the first to describe himself as a creepy weirdo. Because he does, very frequently.

So Masamune Shirow is to anime what Bill Watersson is for comic strips? A bigfoot? :D :D :D :D

Reflects in his work

I wasn't sure if it was a happy laugh or a scared laugh

@@MultiYogibear probably both

That needed a Josuke snicker meme i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/001/175/910/196.gif

Sounded like the Twilight laugh Michael Bolton made.

@@connorrivers995 "Michael Sheen." ;)

@@KingOfDarknessAndEvil He ran into a bit of burnout a month or two ago. Covid fouled up some personal plans he was really set on (like getting married for one thing). He posted a video on it as a channel update. I'm glad he's back in the groove again. Not just for the content, but he looks like he really is having fun with it once more.

I went to school and studied martial arts in Japan. That entire film spoke to me on a really strange level. That character was pretty much me, all the time in Japan. Even in the US people see me as strange. I don't exactly speak my mind. I try to be kind but, I do always tell the truth. I simply don't lie. Which, ironically, has had people branding me as a liar in both countries. x_x

​@@tarrker Where in the US are you?

@@Genevieve1023 I was born and raised in Lancaster Pennsylvania. I've found that the people make the place. I'm not sure how it happened but, Lancaster County is now a great place to live. My wife and I are VERY poor but, we've never really had to struggle. That's all thanks to the people here. :)

Ayane's High kick...... OOF!

What's wrong with high kick?

What?

What is wrong with those?

Same here.

Thanks for the message. I should watch that epsiode.

So it wasn't just me

Giving ME flashbacks to Ninja Resurrection.

Now watch THIS sh!t

Yay? Or YIKES?

Could be worse. Could be about a dress made of guns. Wait, is that worse or better?

@@ShadowWingTronix depends on the dress design

And I realizdd that it is made to sound like "undress"

@@ShadowWingTronix depends on your expectation.

What is wrong with that? The female characters are not that bad either. I enjoy watching it alongside the Bubblegum Crisis anime.

not only that,the director also worked in some of the Night Shift Nurses spin-offs and even in another hentai starring a feminine looking boy...

And I was not disappointed.

It's like watching the fireworks from a distance. Just replace the fireworks with terrorist missiles managed by incompetent wannabes and getting to see said missiles redirecting to sender and the tools crashing and burning themselves.

I got that reference.

why? isn't Bennet stressed enough as it is

@@1391Ghost suffer in a fun way

You mean Z? IDK they appear to have "realistic" proportions and not looking like literal big headed poppets like OG PPG. It's just going full on "Magical Girl" troupes, transformations n' all.

The powerpuff girls anime is still better than the 2016 reboot tbh

@@magicalpasta5462 agreed

It makes so much sense though, when you think about it.

And I wish I hadn't.

And now we just wish we didn't.

Oh god XD. Shirow isn't interested in stories at all, he just produced softcore porn every day because he likes it.

Where did you hear that?

I mean, it's most likely because of the different in value Japanese yen has compared to USA's dollar. I mean really high quality productions like The Wind Rises have a $30 million budget in USA currency. With that said though, Food Fight was a bigger embarrassment because there's no excuse of it ending up that bad of animation (and no, someone stealing the original movie is not a good excuse because that's when it should've been canceled, not horrifically salvaged), especially since 9 (2009) was able to be a fully CGI animated movie that's looks pretty good and had a $30 million budget.

I think it's cause they value the popularity in Japan than other places

I don't know much about the film industry but I'm gonna guess japanese cinema is a lot smaller with less money in it

Japanese cinema in general, including animation, has much smaller budgets to work with; for example, the budget per episode of an anime is on average something like half that of an American cartoon (and yes, this means Paw Patrol has more budget than pretty much any anime series). Also, most of the cash (even moreso than in the West) comes from licensing/merchandising, so if a film or series flops, it also kills any potential revenue from that.

@@paireon3419 not arguing the reasons why it's more expensive here, just that it's funny what is considered a major loss here compared to there. Plus one thing most people don't know is that sometimes big movie losses become tax write-offs oppose to most countries that probably don't allow that

It’s hilarious

Wow. Imagine how the Prequels Trilogy would have turned out of Herzog was on set. And not in any official role, just appearing out of and back into the ether at will, seemingly teleporting in front of George Lucas to advise him on something.

At the very least Fallout 76 is still on PSN!

Considering it worked perfectly fine besides minor bugs like a floating street sign on PC Not really

@@KaoticReach1999 Hows that PC save file doing?

Puff

I think that shauve job to do that. It more like all hentai leads to Boku no Picu

@@starmaker75 Just what ever you do, DON'T Convince Sage to Review that Mistake of a Series, The last thing we need is Boku no Picu turning our most respected and Reliable Anime Reviewer into a Drooling completely insane rutabaga!

@@joe95883 Plus, even Suave would be like "... nope, just nope, leave me out of this one."

@@starmaker75 Boku no Pico is about underage boys, not legal* women. Suave would probably not only not be interested but disgusted and angry.

I honestly thought that was a JOKE when Sage said the same guy directed that.

Isekai has so many cookie-cutter characters and tropes. I have yet to find one I genuinely enjoy.

Well, to be fair, 16 x 0 is...

IT JUST WORKS!

In this ancient review of Gundress (theanimeacademy.wordpress.com/the-stacks/the-stacks-g/gundress/), the reviewer found a statement from the director stating that the film was going to blur the line between animation and live-action. Let that notion sit in your brain for a moment.

@@Zelkiiro >>the film was going to blur the line between animation and live-action... "OMG, this looks like a big, steamy turd and I cannot tell if it's animated or real!"

The math doesn't add up

This the anime equivalent of Food Fight. In more ways than one.

How's the Italian going?

@@crpalstuck2966 the language or his partner?(joke).

I had to learn Japanese the hard way when I was stationed there in the 90s. Be grateful for these language programs. Quick story: I needed a dress uniform sewn in a hurry for a promotion ceremony and was able to get a tailor out in town to do it in a day. I dropped off the rest of my uniforms with it, but told them not to rush, as I could get the rest of them in a few days. When I went back, they had ALL the uniforms done perfectly. I was so impressed I gave them a big tip for the excellent work. This was how I found out that at most establishments, giving a tip tells them that the service was poor and I want to give them money to improve their business. The person at the counter was mortified and the owner was incredibly insulted. I had no idea why they were mad until someone explained to me what I had done wrong. TL:DR Learn another language and culture. It's good for you and prevents you from insulting people trying to help you.

Long time fan. You Rule! I like laeraning espanol myself.

I tried a free trial of the Japanese version many years ago, and found it to be a lot of frustrating guessing. "Which picture does this word go with?" "I dunno, they're all houses. What is being described here?" Maybe I needed to stick it out longer to get used to it? Does it work any different now?

Yeah he was supposed to do that by now, but he ended up changing his whole schedule for this year. He also cancelled some other reviews like Trinity Blood, Afro Samurai, Ghost Stories and Serial Experiments Lain.

@@CornishCreamtea07 Wow, Serial Experiments Lain? That's a name I have not heard in a long time.....

Doesn't the BASTARD!! anime not even get to any of the crazy shit, or the infamous triple-cliffhanger ending we're stuck with forever?

I'm still waiting for him to do Angel Blade:Punish.

@@IrishKyokushin I love going back to see Bennett say, "Obari, if you want to make a hentai, make a hentai!" He really took the ball and ran with that one, huh?

HOLY CRAP

Shhhh! Don't tell him about Operation Paperclip!

@@OmniGman Paperclip was just about the dumb Scientists. I'm talking about the actual War Criminals they recruited to comit more War Crimes agaisnt Communists.

Ah, I see that you’re a man of culture as well. It’s great to meet someone else who knows about the atrocity that was Operation GLADIO. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Gladio

Well, i too must admit to being more into manga than anime, but i too like his style and also use his videos to find some anime oldies to watch, as i really don't like the majority of modern productions 😅🤷‍♂️

It's deep lore.

Agreed. Too many other critics are the waifu-pillows-everywhere "weeb" types who constantly spam broken Japanese or so unbelievably elitist that they refuse to acknowledge anything else. While Bennett definitely prefers older anime, he still gives credit where it's due to some of the more modern stuff. Anime Abandon is perhaps the only anime-related RU-vid series I can watch.

There are probably others that are like Sage, but yeah he’s the first that I’ve noticed that doesn’t act “Anime crazy.” He reviews his anime like he were lecturing at a college.

Bennet is the only anime channel I watch for the same reasons.

It helps that he isn't one of those 'Dubs bad' kinda anime fans.

Facts

English NEVER CHANCE XD

Somebody who remembers Suncoast!!! That's where my sister and I would buy Tenchi Universe DVDs. I miss that place; I'm not sure those are even open anywhere anymore.

I think he's talking about the absolute shitshow that was going on behind the scenes

@@kingdomfantasyomega Yeah, and I get that, but it's kind of unfair. For all the problems, I think they still made a decent anime.

@@100Servings No

OUCH

I thought he was impersonating Michael Sheen in the last Twilight movie.

Now im just waiting to see the next review because if obari is involved it's gonna be a good one.
