I found all the same results as this guy within the first google page, it's not that hard of an investigation lol

@@zachrion And you're sure those were there before this video was uploaded?

That’s actually what I thought this video was going to be about

I thought thats what the vid was gonna be about

That’s what I thought this was lol

I think that was the clickbait

@Sisyphean Taskmaster its still hella different format tho and being a disk which is read by the stylus is pretty much the only thing it has in common

I don't know. That theme song is good enough to support that. Especially if they do the dramatic "raising his head up shown from both straight-on as well as in profile at the same time" before walking towards the camera.

I know that line seems silly, but it's actually good science: he's confirming what *can be* confirmed, without conjecture. It's technically more information than he had going in.

seriously, this could have easily been an SCP. i know i've read a few about vinyl records with mysterious contents.

​@@dia8183 This is the point where we realise Ken was playing the long game, and this entire channel is actually part of Marble Hornets.

Eh, I was gonna read those magazines anyway.

I would know

Ah, the maruten/dakuten thing drives me CRAZY when I'm trying to read something in Japanese! It's often hard to tell on a screen; I guess native Japanese speakers are usually able to tell from the context, but... I don't think I've ever seen someone mention it before.

There’s an anime styled picture of Kenny in his attic that gets older with every video released.

Its truly faacinating, specially because its not like trying to uncover the mystery of some thousand year old ceramic. Its a recent piece of art, something whose people involved might still be alive, and yet it needs so much work to uncover its secrets

@@AndreLuis-gw5ox Come to think of it, I wonder if anyone who worked on Lavithunder know what happened to it. Worst case scenario, whatever production material made for it was scrapped when the company went under, or it burned up in a fire. But the possibility remains that animation stills or a promo reel might be in the basement of some production assistant, or else in a warehouse belonging to a publishing company or distributor.

The worst part is you know theres a box in a warehouse or a pile of old reels/ vhs tapes in some forgotten building or room SOMEWHERE, where the clips of this exist still and are on the road to slow decay if they arent found or just thrown out. And THAT is truely sad, like many pieces of history it will be lost to time with nothing but this video to really go off of.

If you can find out the words to the song I bet you could figure out what the anime is about

@@omnipotent9515 Merry Christmas ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Bj4kDMZHNVc.html I't sounds like some sort of Trigun/Mad Max style anime, but with swords.

Oh hey, digby!

The design is very similar

Oh, it's you.

The same way how Yoroiden Samurai Troopers (Ronin Warriors) and Tenkuu Senki Shurato did try to cash on the success of the Saint Seiya. ...I still wish Shurato would recieve more popularity.

The Fighter / Kamen Senshi Lavinthunder Nov 21, 1986.

I never thought of that before.

A tomboy and a femboy. Everyone should watch this anime!

I would watch a video about O Family if Kenny made one.

The brother is also canonically gay, which is kinda wild for 1986?

@@cantbejawsome so the fact that he gets confused by a girl is because he looks like that on purpose? Or is he annoyed because he is a top? Maybe doesn't like to be hit by heterosexual men? Why I keep questioning more about this anime?

@@0Raik I've only seen one episode, but I don't think he finds being mistaken as a girl to be a problem. He likes looking feminine, so he doesn't really mind. His tomboy sister is the one who's bothered by it.

Lavithunder was at least PARTIALLY produced though, if those screenshots are any indication. Hariken Ryu's Gekisatsu! is one more level down the rabbit hole. Did that even get to the pre-production stage?

The Special Magic of Herself the Elf has episodes on record after the 3 company deal owning the cartoon broke down.

@@kennylauderdale_en It might have been a publicity stunt for the singer with an "anime" pitch attatched to it. There have been other similar examples, like Teddy Boy Blues (in this case, a videogame was attached to it) or the Valis for Famicom short. I remember I've stumbled upon a few records on VGMdb that were soundtracks for manga or books that had singles released for the theme song and even some commercials and TV and radio anthems have also been released as singles, it seems it's a common practice in Japan to launch the career of a pop singer or actor with other media attached that never get beyond some animated commercial or ilustrations in the album cover or booklet.

Well where is it

I always wondered, was there ever any anime that was purely for commercial purposes but was willed into a full fledged series?

hmm interesting

Kekw

As a kamen rider fan, that both fascinates and terrifies me lol

Same here for the 1970s.

what were they? this might be the next clockman

@@Game_Hero I can't even remember the titles any more. :(

Shows I'm trying to find. "Turnabout" from the 1970's. Aired on American public broadcasting (PBS) either close to the same time as "Big Blue Marble" or perhaps Turnabout was just a segment of BBM. It's intro was simple, two curved arrows in a circle, one red, one blue, slowly rotating while a voiceover said "Turnabout". It taught things like critical thinking, opportunity cost etc. One episode I clearly remember was about some boys that wanted to build a banked turn and a hump on a go-kart track. They needed one of their dads to use his pickup to get the free wood for the job but it'd take two trips, and he wanted to watch a football game. So how what's the opportunity cost of each party to get all the wood or half the wood or none of the wood? Dad misses all the game but the boys get all the wood to build both track features. Dad watches all the game and the boys get none of the wood. Or dad misses the first half of the game and the boys get half the wood to build one track feature. As a kid I found the show very interesting and educational - and nobody else remembers it, not even the guy who was in charge of program scheduling during the 70s at the PBS station that broadcast what I watched. He did remember Big Blue Marble, an environmental show minus the whacky nuttery. Another show is newer, from the 1990's. It was on Discovery Channel as a companion to their "Wings" show where each episode was on a single aircraft. The name of it was "Straight Up", and similar to "Wings" each episode was about a single helicopter, company, or influential person in the history of helicopters.

@@greggv8 you actually talked to a PBS broadcaster?

In the early 90s a family friend from the US 🇺🇸 lent us a VHS 📼 tape. It contained recorded music videos mostly Whitney Houston and some Gloria Estefan from VH1. During the break there was a promo for a Phil Collins NY concert. And some ads from my country in 1993 which I now miss. Eventually they asked for the tape back 🙄😂

I take that over the skull kingdom trash they made years ago.

I just remembered Dark Angel made an episode about a lost Star Wars episode 7 movie 🙄

That's because the US didn't really go about dubbing a lot of anime at the time. What we did get would be a baby sized handful of syndicated shows, maybe something direct to video based on an entire series crushed into a less than 90 minute narrative film. And not for the lack of trying, either. Harmony Gold tried to get out Dragon Ball, Time Bokan, Dr. Slump, and (bafflingly) Muteking, but failed to get beyond some test dubs. Some of which became the basis for international dubs. In the US at the time, we were deeply into either Transformers/G.I. Joe or Care Bears/Rainbow Brite toy based series. That probably explains why they tried to develop the "Doozybots" SD Gundam series here. A safe, non-violent, or toned down to the extreme barely violent version of a series they could sell toys of.

@@mightyfilm transformers itself was technically an anime, with having 3 seperate, un-aired on the USA, tv shows and 1 ova. some of the American episodes were also produced by Toei

Transformers is actually quite confusing. It's an American property based off a Japanese toyline that in a roundabout way was based off of an American toy line, and the show and toy line were technically a co-production of America and Japan. That's a subject of the last video, sure, but it's to note that while the US market wasn't dubbing Japanese series much at the time, they were a major outsource for animation. Transformers, being produced by Marvel who already had a history with Toei did use them as a primary animation firm. As they did with a couple Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends, most G.I. Joes, and the first 2 and a half seasons of Muppet Babies. And even after the initial series, only a handful of Transformers shows were animated and produced outside of Japan. Both Beast era series, Cyberverse, and both Rescue Bots series. But make no mistake, even though there were 8 or 9 anime (4 that we got dubs of), Transformers is primarily an American brand, and the original series was written to conform to American broadcast standards for American kids to buy toys.

@@mightyfilm oh of course. the whole Diaclone and Microman stuff makes transformers a really weird line

Also considering they did try just cold releasing Diaclone over here, but it wasn't successful. Just inventing a mythos and all the world building they did turned something that could have been a 3-4 year fad into Hasbro's biggest entertainment brand. As a Western/Eastern brand, there was a lot of coproduction over the years, be it the cartoons or the toys. So there's a massive blurred line right there. Given the fact that anime really wasn't a major thing the US got in the 80's, the only way they could have sold anything outside dubbed Nickelodeon filler probably would have been a toyline. Thing is, anything that could have been one would have been too violent for mainstream American television. That's why we got M.U.S.C.L.E. toys, but not Kinnikuman. The anime consumption in the US at the time was regulated to college clubs that somehow knew a guy who could sneak in a bootleg from a Japanese import grocer. Maybe some filler stuff on fledgling Nickelodeon and to fill out the burgeoning home video market. Europe seemed to just get more import stuff from all over the world. Not saying they didn't have their own produced animation, just not to the production output the US or Japan was at the time.

LOL!!!

Everyone approved of this

"Hey everyone, so I found this *[REDACTED]"*

There is a joke SCP that they literally used anime to wore it away.

This is definitely the kinda thing that's hiding a Pattern Screamer or something.

... Wait a minute, a narrative that doesn't exist but there is media about it... fuck... FUCK! The Anafabula! SCP 2747!

@@Cblack456 Nah man... It's just Fate/ Prototype...

Right? Imagine how much the unused cells from the incomplete anime are worth! How much history each frame hold!

Wait they couldn't just delay it a week?

@@BJGvideos From what I deduce of the companies of that time period, 90s and back all the to 10s, the executives didn't really watched their shows, specially animations. They just "OK-ed" things and gave money and expected money to come to their pockets. And money came, like a lot. Therefore, something so complicated like continuity, storytelling, run the episodes in the order they were supposed to, or even wait a week was out of their minds.

For real.

Yoshiji kagami is the creator lol

I used to do the same thing after I watched the Shazam movie with Sinbad.

Dude, i remember this anime! It used to play right after Candle Cove

I remember I listened to song on vacation in Taured

I did the same thing with my friend at the time, I think his name was Dan Cooper but we called him DB.

IMO, the 80s was the golden age of anime. A high-budget OVA or movie (Nausicaa, Macross DYRL, Bubblegum Crisis, etc) looks better than any anime made in the last 20 years.

@Nobody comments are not funny you troglodyte Doesn't need a plot. Has style, great music and 1980's anime mechanical design.

@@ChibiKami And then comes Tom the Friendly Dinosaur.

This is #TheWillOfSteinsGate

What? Is there any more info on this? Edit: Found it on wikipedia. "Mount Asahidake SOS Incident". Crazy stuff.

Selling music was a pillar of 1980s anime. Is it possible the physical album was produced at the same time as the studio was working on the animation? Then they had a warehouse filled with LPs when the show was cancelled so the record label just released it to market to make back some of their costs.

Production committees started in the 90s with Gainax projects.

Lmao I'm impressed about yall searching about that kind of business

The more I think about that series, the more I remember how Saban was not involved. Saban was notorious at the time for grabbing any cheap anime license to dub. I don't think they had any connections to Toei animation, but they certainly had someone that had Tatsunoko on speed dial. I'd think their version of Sailor Moon would have just been a dub with wacky music and wacky, pun filled dialogue (think Samurai Pizza Cats) that every country in the world BUT the US would have got but based off their English dub. And I certainly think if they were to do a live action/cartoon hybrid Power Rangers type show, they certainly would NOT have commissioned new animation, dubbing the old footage instead.

It was sold 700 Yen in 1986. So, it is rare because it had limited prints, more likely. Which would support my theory of the alternate cover of a single which did well. Indeed, a popular singer's single being so rare makes little sense to me.

@@nozoto some popular stuff can go pretty unnoticed and rare during the time it was released

Is this media?

Kenny: (fades out I'd existence) Oh...

Clearly they produced *something*. I doubt those few screenshots are the only frames ever made. What probably exists are the promo plus some incomplete episodes that were mid-production when it was canceled.

Kenny: *IT BELONGS IN A MUSEUM!*

Nice

Or maybe he's just going to visit the earths where those animes take place. If that's the case Kenny please take people with you.

Why is doraemon 1973 cursed?

Because it bombed miserably in Japan!

This is the impact that kenny's videos have. Lavithunder has been known for years among niche circles, but, thanks to kenny, it now has a visibility that will make it possible to unearth more information with the added people that are aware of it, just like the Lensman TV anime. Same with the Nora and Twinkle Nora manga scanlated in English.

damn it, really? now I hope he talks about Ai to makoto.
