I love making them for the same reason. Other than Angel Egg, I hadn't seen any of these OVAs before. I dont think I would have found most of them either if I didn't make this video.
Nothing against you but I started out skipping through your video just to get the titles and a quick glimpse of the animation and then you started making me laugh with the editing and the little I heard from you. Gonna go back and watch, lol
I think out of everything on here, I am tempted to check out Ruin Explorers. The mangaka*, auto correct, that illustrated the Manga is Kunihiko Tanaka, I love his work! Great video.
Thanks for the recommendation of ("Fam and Iri") Ruin Warriors! The first 3 episodes are really good! But as the plot of the generic evil guy is slowly introduced.. the show loses steam and ends up in a rather rushed conclusion that left me quite dissatisfied. I wonder if that was the actual planned ending, or something affected its production.
I don't remember if you covered it in the first video but Dragon's Heaven is a neat little mecha OVA which has a Mobius aesthetic to it, and also bits of live action. Also putting Mellowlink again since it's a really good OVA everyone should check out, even if not interested in VOTOMS
Didn't talk about Dragon's Heaven but I do want to watch Mellowlink. The main reason I haven't yet is because Votoms looks pretty interesting and I want to watch that first.
@@CulturedCrusader Great! I recommend Dragon's Heaven since it's a lovely story with georgeous animation, and a lot of live action scenes dedicated to showing of the modeling work of Makoto Kobayashi which would is mechanical designer for a bunch of stuff including Zeta Gundam and ZZ, it's good stuff
DOWNLOAD OVA it's part of a multimedia project. NEC Avenue was the game development section of NEC and they created 2 games; Download and well...Download 2 for the PC Engine console. Those were shooting games with heavy emphasis on story and dialogue (The second game involves Adolph H. brain lol) so they wanted to expand it with a book novel and the OVA. Seems like it wasn't as popular as they thought so that's it. The OVA goes its own way but supposely the main character SYD it's the same from the games.
Noizuki is fucking awesome. I used one of the frames for my FB profile pic ages ago.. I think I watched most of these From the three vids. That's from when I STARTED watching anime.
Do you watch all your anime dubbed? I would just learn to love subbed tbh. Its just better especially if youre watching super obscure stuff that barely had enough money to be made.
I'd say 1/3 of the anime I watch, I watch dubbed. I don't have any problems with subs, but I also don't have a problem with dubs. Just depends on the anime and the cast tbh.
Fun fact about Ruin Explorers, it takes place in the same world as...Queen's Blade. Yeah, the hyper sexualized ecchi battle series. But don't think you're going to spot Ihrie or Fam as background characters or an easter egg, it's just some familiar locations and that's it. It's really tangential at best.
What a load of BS... Ruin Explorers the OVA is based on a manga by Kunihiko Tanaka and published in 1991. Tanaka has nothing to do with the Queen's Blade franchise. You're just repeating the whole "it's a spiritual successor to Slayers and Queen's Blade" BS that someone decided to put in some wikis. That a series has magic, swords and female protagonists doesn't make it "in the same universe".
@@hadoke I'm sorry if you felt offended. Wasn't my intention to come through as abrasive with the tone of the post. The "fun fact" though remains nonsense. I just hate it when people repeat "facts" they read "somewhere" without checking if there's even a reliable source for it. Even the whole "Oshii was a catholic" thing has a very, very different context than the one most videos on youtube about Angel's Egg popularized. It's the whole factoids vs facts thing. Again, I meant no personal offense. Sorry.
Based on the first episode, it seems to be above average capitalist propoganda with good action. Unless I'm missing something, I'm not sure why this OVA is so loved.
90s (and to an extent 80s anime) are all very fluid and amazing looking. Down Load isn't fluid "despite being from the 90s" that's the norm for the period. Anime today look dramatically less "fluid" as you say so I'm quite confused why you thought it was the opposite. I started watching anime in the 2010s and when I eventually went back to see 90s anime I was blown away by how "fluid" every anime was. It's sad to see so many people who claim new anime looks better for BS reasons like digital is "cleaner" when it couldn't be further from the truth
Most anime from the 90s were static, though. You might find certain scenes where things got fluid but more often than not, things were rigid. Only animating mouths when people talked, silhouettes sliding onto the screen, etc. OVAs and films often challenged this, but tv anime? Not really. And the 90s was the era where tv anime became the main medium. Also, I tend to dog on new anime pretty often so I'm a little confused why you think I'm in the digital camp. One of my biggest compliments for anime like Eat-Man and Noir was the expertly utilized cel animation.
@@CulturedCrusader most TV anime nowadays doesn't look that good eiter, its definitely quite static. Or if it is "fluid" then it's quite low quality and personally I would much rather have the high quality detail of character models and backgrounds from the "static" 90s anime then the fluid but poorly done designs and animation of modern TV anime. Good looking TV anime today does the same thing they did in the 90s, kept it static whenever possible. OVAs in the 90s and late 80s looked DRAMATICALLY better then the best anime today. The amount of detail they drew and animated is like 5x as much as you see in all but the absolute best looking anime today. I just watched Venus Wars, and Roujin Z, they drew an absurd amount of detail into everything. When something mechanical broke you could see 30 different separate cables ripping apart from a circuit board in near perfect detail. You DO NOT see that kind of quality today.
I agree that most modern TV anime look meh. They’re way too soft and bland. It's easier for me to take a chance on some random 90s anime than watch anything new. There are a couple of shows that benefit from the transition to digital (Monogatari comes to mind), but man, what I'd give for traditional cell animation to return in full force.
I just stumbled across this two ova it’s only has 2 ep and doesn’t really feel complete it’s called the adventure of kotetsu and the other one is called Xanadu legend of the dragonslayer a soldier gets teleported into a fantasy world and now must stop a evil wizard who stole a powerful magical crystal from taking over the land
I find it weird when people call old stories basic, because yeah of course they are old stories, they are the foundation stones for the stories we have today of course they aren't revolutionary.. anything basic used to be an innovation. it's like judging a vintage rotating phone to a smartphone. calling an old story basic feels biaised because we are judging it by standard that we have know where stories are expected to have more because we have cultural fictionnal osmosis and context..
