You can't watch this Mario anime 

Thanks so much to GTV for helping out with this video! Be sure to check out his video from 2018 where he showed footage of Super Mario Traffic Safety: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KfObkj-sU7Y.html

Mario and Luigi: DONT PLAY WITH FIRE!!! also Mario and Luigi: Hey Luigi! How far you think I can chuck this unstable fireball at that turtle??

You’ve captured my likeness perfectly!

The cool thing is, Studio Junio also happened to work on Sonic CD’s cutscenes. Kind of funny to think they animated his rival years after this.

Don’t worry guys, I’ll become the principal of a Japanese school, rent the video for school, and just copy it. Just give me until like 2038

So nobody's gonna talk about how in these videos Mario has a glare in his pupils but Luigi doesn't? He almost looks soulless because of that lol.

I get that copyright laws are more restrictive in Japan than here, but what commercial harm could possibly come from sharing an educational video that they didn't make for profit? Why are they so intent on protecting this one film? There has to be more to the story. They must not have had the rights to animate something that appears in the background of the film, like the logo for a corporation, and they are afraid of lawsuits for the misappropriate use of a registered trademark.

Mario and Luigi being heroes close to real life like being informatives on safety and even being volunteer firemen is super wholesome and makes my heart go boopity boop

Wow this story was really interesting; normally with media like this you can either find it online in it's lost I've never heard of something like this.

Toei really said: *There are no Mario safety cartoons in Ba Sing Se* Reminds me of the story of Izzy's Quest for Olympic Gold, another piece of formerly lost media. For those who don't know, Izzy was the mascot of the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta who made his debut at the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona. What exactly is Izzy, you might ask...we don't know. He's not an animal, he's not a human figure, nor is he an object. He's...something. His name is actually short for Whatizit. His debut was met with backlash, because you'd think for the CENTENNIAL Olympics, they'd pick a grand mascot...nope. So to counter this backlash, they released a video game (Izzy's Quest for the Olympic Rings on Sega Genesis and SNES) and a cartoon. For the longest time, people joked that Izzy was so laughably bad that his cartoon about his backstory became lost media. That is, until 2020 when the pandemic changed all that. A guy called James was helping his father clean out his garage where he came across a VHS of it.

Mario and Luigi never cease to perplex me. Are they plumbers? Are they firefighters? Are they just super beings that can do anything possible?

So when people freaked out about normal looking humans in Odyssey..... it was already done before.

I don't know what scares me more, they're freakishly large heads in proportion to the normal humans or Luigi's soulless eyes....

1:57 Fun Fact: Studio Junio have also made the cutscenes for the original Sonic CD as well have worked on a lot of interactive games

There's something so interesting about finding lost or difficult to view media, no matter how small it may be

There's seriously an official piece of media out there where Mario almost isekais a child

Old films like this should be preserved on newer based media. Since even if the media is kept in good hands. Who can say that footage will one day just fade away and be destroyed from the use of it

Mario: Saves Bowser from getting hit by a car Also Mario: *Throws Bowser into bombs, makes him fall into a pit of lava or just a pit etc.*

Ironic how they aren't letting people share an educational short, even when the point of it is to spread awareness of traffic safety.

Imagine a small and fat italian man with his tall brother, scolding a kid and a toddler for lighting fireworks

2:58 they scold the kids for playing with fire Also Mario: literally throwing around fire balls to MURDER creatures

1:49 this isn't the only time Toei has worked with Junio. They've also worked together on the iconic opening/ending cutscenes for Sonic CD.

Imagine looking at mario like he's a firefighter instead of a plumber.

When he hears the fire alarm, Mario is always cool and calm

I never thought Mario would ever be voiced by Yamcha

I never expected two of my favourite Gaming RU-vidrs (GTV and Thomas Game Docs) to be in the same video!

I've been wanting to watch Super Mario Traffic Safety for *years!* I hope it gets backed up online some day!

It looks weird seeing Mario next to a normal looking person.

5:59 its not a thomas game docs video without a classic zoom in on nintendo hq!

these seem like completely normal anime safety videos until randomly fucking Mario shows up

Fun Fact! Studio Junio made the cutscenes in Sonic CD. And yes, they made the design for Sonic, which would mean that design isn't "Toei Sonic", but rather "Junio Sonic"

This Mario anime actually looks pretty good. The story might be boring but hey, I think I would like to watch it for myself if I ever go to Japan

i love how it seems like a normal educational anime and then just “MARIO AND LUIGI” HAHA

TGD: you can't watch this mario anime also TGD: shows some clips from this mario anime

“You can’t watch this Mario anime” *Are you challenging me?*

Theater: You cannot record any of the anime we're about to show you! GTV: Oh no! GTV, seeing they're showing Super Mario Traffic Safety and recording: *ANYWAY* We've also done our own traffic safety cartoon if you search for it on YT. Our cartoons are more than just Squirrel & Hedgehog

8:45 So that's where Mario's neutral air came from for Smash Bros.

Fun Fact: Studio Junio worked on the anime parts of Sonic CD and also worked with Toei make a couple episodes of Dragon Ball.

I remember looking for a number of Disney's films to see a lot of the one's that I had watched in a class room weren't on Disney+ for streaming. DVDs and VHS existed in libraries but you couldn't stream or purchase digital copies of these movies.

Interesting timing, I just got recommended the video of the 'Restored 4K version' of 'Super Mario Bros.: The Search for Princess Peach'!

I guessed Toru Foruya voiced Mario on this because he did it in the animé movie.

I wonder if any of these libraries have considered digitizing it under safe conditions, even if they don't intend to lend it out to keep it from being copied, they should at least copy it themselves.

this was amazing to watch! you’re one of the best researchers out there. i‘ve never heard of these films before, it’s pretty interesting when you talk about 'lost‘ media

Mario kicking bowser is something I want to see in a future game

8:29 when you realize that bowser masked up before covid

That's going to be hard to do, unless the expelled audiovisual materials goes to Yahoo auctions.

People deciding that they have the right or obligation to withhold media like that really makes me buttmad lol

Kenny Lauderdale is another good channel. He just did a video about film preservation efforts for lost anime that most people have never even heard of. These Mario safety videos seem to be the exception of a film being preserved, unfortunately. Some anime has only survived because people pulled film reels out of the trash when after studios threw them out.

I don't comment enough, but I really do enjoy your videos and how you dive into some really obscure stuff that no one else seems to cover. Great job as always.

Never expected these kinds of videos from Mario

People say things like “Mario galaxy has the darkest Mario story” but have you seen Mario run into a burning apartment to rescue a mother and her child

7:59 i can't be the only one to find the way mario is animated talking funny

Fact: there's a couple of characters that Toru Furuya did voice for Pegasus Seiya and Yamcha they're dubbed by Jesus Barrero in the Latin Spanish dubs of those shows, however he didn't voiced Tuxedo Mask but instead he did for Andrew Furuhat, so I guess they didn't match the actors to be equal.

I would always play with fire when I was younger with friends and we'd get caught numerous times, the thing is I was very very cautious, I was always near a water source and didn't use flammable material like toilet paper or aerosols or any explosive material, just a lighter and a very small pile of leaves and we'd stomp out the fire when we were done

Excellent ! You always suprise me Thomas.

Awesome! I've watched some videos from GTV! He does a really good job not just with the editing but his narration is incredible

wow that's interesting. didn't expect the GTV cameo but that's pretty great, haha. (just watched his 2022 remaster of the 'yume kojo' story just last night!) definitely heard of toru furuya big time sailormoon fan from the 90s here! I guess I can only hope they've been able to preserve it digitally in some form? and overall are we really missing that much? there's alawys that full-length anime movie I heard was getting a remastered redub.

I wonder how hard it would be for a viewer to get a job at one of these libraries, or even just sneak into one of the rooms that they keep these tapes, find it, and upload it sneakily

The fact that a guy named Toru Furuya voices the character Amuro Toru in Detective Conan, who is also known as Furuya Rei, is absolutely hilarious to me. There's no way that it wasn't done on purpose; I'll bet that Gosho even had the guy in mind while naming him, because honestly, why else would he have names like that? I know jack all about VAs generally, and I was not expecting this delightful little bit of trivia, but I welcome it all the same.

Hold on, Toei Animation made anime Mario? Now I wish they could've just full send it and made it an actual series.

Your videos are so unique and your ideas for video topics are so creative, tysm for all that you do

1:25 I just find this audio and video combination funny. "In the late 80's" - where we have computers from the early 2000's (at least 2001 judging by the fact that the computer is running windows xp) And yes I know that's just because he has not found appropriate footage (or just didn't care which is totally fine by me).

Man, the old-timey voice acting is super nostalgic. I remember watching the Anpanman public manners and safety video as a kid. For real though, Japan's strict copyright and unwillingness to share their media internationally is frustrating. I don't think they understand how fascinating or fun their shows/movies/music are, and it's such a shame that most of them are unavailable to people living outside of Japan. There are so many ads saying "PWEEEAAASE don't illegally upload our shows online!!!" when they could just, y'know, legally stream it.

Last time, it was that bizarre live Bowser kids show, now educational anime... I wonder what the next obscure Mario paraphernalia will be 😄

Dude your editing is ridiculously good

Bro the fact that mario is basically teaching kids how to live is crazy

Hopefully a gigaleak will happen someday, we might even get to see Mario Traffic Safety in Laserdisc quality! If that “Don’t Hide Abuse” Spider Man cartoon could be posted online for us all to see, and a photo was successfully taken of that Miley Cyrus concert where photography wasn’t allowed, hopefully we’ll get to see this in full in the future!

Love the videos, Thomas. Keep it up!!!

Interesting to see Bowser being green in this anime like the western counterpart, King Koopa from SMBSS. Coincidence or not both film even released first at the same year, 1989

So in the fire safety video, Mario and Luigi are fixing their truck, and in the traffic safety video, Mario almost hits the kid with the same truck. That's some continuity right there.

Love your videos Thomas!

Im not saying be gay do crime, but im not NOT saying be gay do crime

I would've been the most happy child on earth if they showed me videos like this. I love Mario and Luigi so much. xD

Mario & Luigi being heroes like always.

*MASAKA!* I didn't knew Toru voiced Sabo from One Piece @ 5:50 and I'm nowhere near in that arc yet in the series! O.o Can't believe I didn't join this channel sooner as this was so well done TGD as a Nintendo fanboy myself that grew up with the Mario franchise! What I meant by that is by Super Mario Super Show & Super Mario World and it's so hard to believe the Mario Bros. even speak in Japanese as I never heard of them speaking outside of the English audience! Not sure why Japan didn't released both shorts outside the country as Nintendo would've spread even more of a healthy yet inspiring influence for children growing up with the series as this makes me learn much more about how the Japanese lifestyle is like! Quite sneaky of GTV Japan to sneak in to film illegally as it's quite risky to do so as that's so thoughtful of him to share bits of the footage! xD *PS:* It's really heartwarming to see Mario saving Bowser's life considering how those 2 are complete rivals for sure as Bowser sure is no picnic and it makes me adore Japan even more to do educational anime shorts like this! ^.^

The thumbnail made me think this video was a meme, honestly this is better

7:55 Kid almost gets ran over by truck Mario: skill issue

It's pretty weird knowing that studio junio and toei both worked on Mario and Sonic animations :/

Staring into Luigi's eyes in the first anime is unsettling because his eyes have no white dot like Mario's.... It's HORRIFYING to me!

i once saw it, it went just as you said. i never knew it was a lost anime.

Mario: be safe around fire Also Mario: BURN ALL THE GOOMBAS!!!!

2:56 “We-a get 1 day off-a year and I spend it doing this? I’m-a too damn tired for this. Get your damn-a hands off these fireworks!”

No joke, I would've killed to see these when I was a kid. I loved Mario when I was younger.

Hey! Big Dragon Ball fan here. Studio Junio was a regular in Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z, so it's no surprise that they were the ones animating the first short. I believe the channel Forgotten Relics has a video about that studio.

Well this anime definitely wouldn’t have helped me cross the road

Fun Fact:Junio Studios Also Made The Opening And Ending Cutscenes For Sonic CD (1993)

“It’s not available on internet” **Plays Footage Of It**

7:58 the truck Mario is driving is a Mercedes-Benz Unimog. Very strange to think this wouldn't be his last time driving a Mercedes.

TGD: you can't watch this Me: I already did. Thanks yt for dubbing it!

Bro, you literally did all this work just to show us an old educational anime. Respect 👏

I wonder if SONIC did his own safety videos…

2:58 Luigi looks weird without his lil eye specks

Your voiceover of the Mario fire story is on point.

Keep doing you and you will get half mill and congrats for when you get half mill

Mario as Fireman Sam Luigi as Elvis Cridlington Larry Koopa as Norman Price

Thomas: You can't watch it. The beginning of the video showing clips from it. Me: Are you sure about that??!!!!

I hope one day we can watch Super Mario's Traffic Safety complete OVA

3:04 Mario : ya hear me ya little shit, if you start anuthuh fiyah ill have your head Luigi :you heard da bahss **immediately after returning home a fire is nearly started five times then an actual fire starts** LMFAO I see why Mario and Luigi got so pissed, must be common in that township

Imagine a Mario cameo in one piece with his fire flower power up or his mega mushroom

Love that tohru furuya voices Mario. AMURO, IKIMAAASU!
