That reminds me that a couple years ago (I think maybe around the time of the sequal?) there was an ad were they just played the entirety of the lego movie (I think it began with Chris Pratt saying some stuff about them letting people see it for free with the ad)
The early internet was an interesting time as it was before anyone who wore a suit and flew a desk had really paid any attention. It was harder to find things, sources were mostly word of mouth, but pretty much everything was available.
I never thought I'd feel old remembering this period of the internet. Finding whatever sketchy website to watch soul eater and yugioh abridged on RUclips
Japanese seniority rule really is a horrible thing there, according to whistleblowers at gamefreak the pokemon games are only as bad as they are because a bunch of old people are telling young people that they have to do things the old way instead of the new, updated better way.
Glad to see a new video! Especially with a topic like this. If there's three things I like, it's anime, the early "10 minute limit" days of RUclips, and 2000's nostalgia.
Man as soon as I read the title it brought me back to being like 9 years old and discovering Naruto on RUclips for the first time and watching so many 3 part anime episodes, what a fucking trip
Still have fond memories of discovering Haruhi through Captpan6's YTPs and then watching the entire first season on Vannygg's channel (the 2nd one hadn't even been released yet.) It was the first time I had actively sought out anime.
It was very fun how cultures on RUclips intermixed and segued back then. It seems to happen less and less post-2018 as every channel became more isolated, but I'm not sure why that is outside blaming the algorithm.
There’s still plenty of anime series still around on YT, especially helpful when they’re nowhere else. That’s how I watched Berserk ‘97 (which is still up) and Baki The Grappler (which I’m pretty sure is gone now.)
Legend of the Galactic Heroes (yellow subtitles) use to be on RUclips until a few years ago as well. There's also certain series or movies you can literally only find on obscure streaming sites. A few of the Lupin III movies and specials are really hard to find anywhere else.
Yeah, good amount of OVAs. I think a lot of them were created to burn cash during the Japanese bubble in the 1980s so no one cares about the copyright anymore. Sometimes unfortunate because some of them are pretty low quality and could use an HD release.
I'm 30 and I remember this era of the internet well. I remember the live chatbox on anime media lol. I also remember watching most of Death Note on youtube, in three parts as tradition. Probably some other series too. In fact as recently as a few years ago someone had the entire Monster anime uploaded on youtube. I'm well aware that these straight up uploads definitely infringed on copyright laws but honestly with some of these series with no official releases these shows would be lost media and people would have no alternative to watch them. If these anime studios that hold the copyrights don't want people to pirate their media they should consider officially re-releasing them.
I don't why it surprises me there is 2000s nostalgia, the other day I discovered 2020s nostalgia. I'm not a nostalgic guy, but something tells me I will miss the good ol' days of 2045. Regarding the subject, I don't know much about anime, but I remember there were lots of movies uploaded in ten parts, nowadays there seem to be some more tricks to upload stuff. But the good thing about time and movies is that copyright exprés eventually, so even if Time is a dreadful tiger, at least allows us some amusement.
not really, things have been so bad for the last 15 years no one feels nostalgic about it, even zoomers prefer to feel nostalgic over eras they never even lived in. Everything as objectively better in the 90s and early 2000s than it is now and the prospect is for everything to keep getting worse. The 90s were an era of peaking , the 2020s are an era of collapse
I find it incredibly strange I'll likely live long enough to see books written in the 1950s and 1960s enter public domain. I think this will probably strike most Americans when things like the early Disney movies full enter the public domain (if they ever actually do).
I remember when I was a kid using RUclips to watch or re-watch stuff like the early Pokémon seasons, Digimon Frontier, Bakugan and the like. Nothing more disappointing than finding out that the channel with the episodes had stopped uploading, leaving a show/season incomplete. Then in the mid 2010's when I started watching more "serious" anime, the first ones were Death Note and the first season of Attack on Titan, still on RUclips in 360p, but now in full. Those uploads have mostly been nuked since then, obviously.
I discovered YT somewhere around 2007, so I did experience that era of 3-part, fansubbed anime uploads in low resolutions. Although the main charm for me was the sea of AMVs, hence why I spent less time watching anime episodes on YT, dedicating more of my time watching AMVs and even uploaded some of my own. Well, at least until a pretty large AMV purge happened back in 2009 which struck my uploads as well. Although I remembered it was largely done by record labels such as WMG (as AMVs featuring Linkin Park songs were highly abundant back then) instead of anime rights holders in Japan. Still, I believe all these legal issues surrounding illegal uploads of anime episodes on YT from back then did affect AMVs as well.
Its monetization fault, the days of people making their fan projects just for fun without begging patreobux or shilling scams are gone, with monetization came the dmca claims
I dont remember watching much anime on YT way back. I really didnt have internet back then.I went from toonami to piratebay and then to streaming sites like justdubs. I do remember live chats on most of them.
I remember watching fansubbed episodes of Bo-BoBo Bo-BoBoBo ahead of the Toonami dub. Weirdly these were always based on the Spanish dubs. I also watched Kimba 1965 episodes as well as the Jungle Emperor Leo 1997 movie (split into ten parts to accommodate the film's length). These I did eventually get on DVD as an adult so Tezuka Productions pls don't sue.
Bo-BoBoBo-Bo-BoBo is pretty popular in Spain apparently so that may be why. I think they were the only country to receive a complete release of the manga beside Japan.
Europeans have told me "Heidi, Girl of the Alps" was apparently very popular across Europe. So popular people's grandparents remember it. Though, I guess, you could say the same thing about "Speed Racer" in the United States, but it was so vastly different from the Japanese version. I don't know how much "Heidi" was changed, but it seems to be a pretty simple story.
i never had broadband before and when i suddenly got it i quickly discovered anime on youtube and became addicted. To the point it kinda fucked my life for a while. Remember, before this if you wanted to watch an anime you only had TV progreamming or you had to go really underground to get bootlegs but now i had seemingly limitless choice, in beautiful 360p.
Meh, I don't mind about the sub count since it barely matters on RUclips anymore. I prefer feedback and dedicated commenters so I can get good eyes on my videos. I'd be permanently satisfied if I got 100 comments per video. That's a good enough audience size.
Regarding anime uploads to RUclips, it's interesting to see what still falls through the cracks. For example, KyotoAnimation's adaptation of Kanon can still easily be watched in full via multiple RUclips accounts, including HD options. This is not the case with Kyotoani's other anime such as Clannad, K-On, Haruhi, etc. Idk what's going on there, but I ain't complaining
To this day, you can watch the whole brazilian dub of Yu Yu Hakusho on RUclips. The entire show. Its been up for more than a decade, and each episode has multiple thousands of views. I don't know the specifics of it, but it seems that the rights for the brazilian dub have long expired, making these uploads techically not copyright infringement anymore
So we know for a fact that places like napster actually improved merch and concert sales in the music industry, we know that video game piracy has given games exposure to people who would've never bought them in the first place, leading to profits there, and we know that certain anime would've never been available in the west if a good amount of those channels didn't import them and sub them in the early days, this created new fans who would've never paid for anything because they had no way of knowing. If we could prove that sales for that anime went up in the west after it was made free online, would that make the japanese company owe the pirate money then?
I love a lot of things japan does but man their copyright stuff is totally dystopian. They straight up want to dox your location and ruin your entire life just because you had the audacity to upload an anime that is not legally available in the west, has no subtitled version and can't be paid for in any way that would give the company money. If you can't buy something for a reasonable price that lets you actually watch it, then it really shouldn't be copyright infringement to pirate it since there's no real way that copyright was even able to come to you in the first place.
Had no idea this even happened as I don't watch anime, guess I'm out of the targeted age range for this video lol. Still enjoyed it tho. 👍👍 But I do miss the old lawless youtube days and the crazy channels that popped up like The Amazing Racist aka Ari Shaffir. 😂
Forgive me if this is too personal, but I remember you mentioned you are studying Japanese, may I así how is it going? My Chinese skills are still lacking, but I can tell where is the airport, ask for the bathroom and wish Chairman Xi ten thousand years of glory.
Lol. Its going okay. I can read N3 level which is essentially intimidate. I haven't practiced speaking or listening in only Japanese much though. I'm getting good at Internet slang though.
Good. I wished I could be as advanced. But it's a process. I need above all vocabulary, speaking it doesn't concern me much, I'm happy understanding. So, I need to read and memorize a lot, which it's something I enjoy, thankfully. Maybe one day we will communicate through kanji and hanzi.
I think this one will be okay. The PS2 soundtrack upload has been on RUclips for four years. I made sure to not using any of the famous songs/OPs or Joe's Whistle. If it goes down, I'll just reupload it.
What makes it scary is that the people who watch these channels that upload anime shows were CHILDREN! Like Jesus, this was ElsaGate minus the creepy kid's sex jokes and gore crap.
You joke but there was an actual time where a RUclips ad would play and it would just be an entire episode of Bleach.
based
That reminds me that a couple years ago (I think maybe around the time of the sequal?) there was an ad were they just played the entirety of the lego movie (I think it began with Chris Pratt saying some stuff about them letting people see it for free with the ad)
I got an ad that was just an episode of spy x family recently.
Legit history lesson right there. Everyone should've stumbled into these uploads a few times back then
The early internet was an interesting time as it was before anyone who wore a suit and flew a desk had really paid any attention. It was harder to find things, sources were mostly word of mouth, but pretty much everything was available.
I never thought I'd feel old remembering this period of the internet. Finding whatever sketchy website to watch soul eater and yugioh abridged on RUclips
I have good memories of those sketchy sites, but I can say, objectively, most of them were pretty bad from a design standpoint.
ah yes, anime on 360p on three parts on youtube, with openings removed just in case. Thats so 2007
Japanese corporate culture is still trying to adapt to the telegraph.
good, thats why they've haven't gone full jew like america and are still somewhat tolerable
@j.2512 please shut up
They were big fans of Telex apparently.
Japanese seniority rule really is a horrible thing there, according to whistleblowers at gamefreak the pokemon games are only as bad as they are because a bunch of old people are telling young people that they have to do things the old way instead of the new, updated better way.
Nah I’d adapt
Glad to see a new video! Especially with a topic like this. If there's three things I like, it's anime, the early "10 minute limit" days of RUclips, and 2000's nostalgia.
Its cool, but is it as cool as train theme parks? ... we will see.
@@Pseudiom Nothing is cooler than train theme parks! XD
Man as soon as I read the title it brought me back to being like 9 years old and discovering Naruto on RUclips for the first time and watching so many 3 part anime episodes, what a fucking trip
I watched the Shippuden Hidan station fight on RUclips and streaming sites. I remember it very clearly.
punched everyone right in the nostalgia with this one >_
This is how I used to watch so many anime as a kid, Naruto, Dragon Ball, all of it.
Still have fond memories of discovering Haruhi through Captpan6's YTPs and then watching the entire first season on Vannygg's channel (the 2nd one hadn't even been released yet.) It was the first time I had actively sought out anime.
Haruhi is trash. The people introduced to anime by moeshit ruined anime
It was very fun how cultures on RUclips intermixed and segued back then. It seems to happen less and less post-2018 as every channel became more isolated, but I'm not sure why that is outside blaming the algorithm.

yet another insightful deep dive upload from my favorite internet arcana channel
As long as I can keep the neurons active and talk about very obtuse Internet factoids.
I dont remember watching much anime on YT way back. I really didnt have internet back then.I went from toonami to piratebay and then to streaming sites like justdubs. I do remember live chats on most of them.
Please raise your audio levels. You're half the volume as the rest of the internet, so you blow out my speakers the second an ad comes on.
Actually, after getting to the end your audio's twice as quiet as the sound from videos you use. So not even ad block could help.
I remember watching fansubbed episodes of Bo-BoBo Bo-BoBoBo ahead of the Toonami dub. Weirdly these were always based on the Spanish dubs.
I also watched Kimba 1965 episodes as well as the Jungle Emperor Leo 1997 movie (split into ten parts to accommodate the film's length). These I did eventually get on DVD as an adult so Tezuka Productions pls don't sue.
europe and latam got into anime like a decade earlier than America did. Maybe more, in France and Spain anime was huge from waay back
Bo-BoBoBo-Bo-BoBo is pretty popular in Spain apparently so that may be why. I think they were the only country to receive a complete release of the manga beside Japan.

I remember i watched all of Code Geass on youtube. Some were just the video 3 parts, others were people reacting to it.
I enjoyed hearing you say marshmallow in a Japanese accent in an English accent.
i never had broadband before and when i suddenly got it i quickly discovered anime on youtube and became addicted. To the point it kinda fucked my life for a while.
Remember, before this if you wanted to watch an anime you only had TV progreamming or you had to go really underground to get bootlegs but now i had seemingly limitless choice, in beautiful 360p.
The "goin' down" kid makes a convincing argument.
He really was ahead of his time.
Man, what a trip down memory lane, a legit history lesson. I swear your sub count is criminally low.
Meh, I don't mind about the sub count since it barely matters on RUclips anymore. I prefer feedback and dedicated commenters so I can get good eyes on my videos. I'd be permanently satisfied if I got 100 comments per video. That's a good enough audience size.
I watched my first animes Code Geass and Deathnote on RUclips back in the day lol
Sad that I missed this period, still watched the entirety of Pokémon post-2010 though
Yeah, there were some series that survived pretty late. I assume due to who owned their copyright.
Ichigo Mashimaro is unironically an amazing show.

Great video, super interesting
I have fond memories of watching haruhi suzumiya and high school of the dead on youtube in 3 parts
Wow I remember anime on RUclips but I forgot about the three parts thing, it's just a part of old RUclips like reply videos I remember those
like being able to have an opinions without the automod automatically deleting it for wrongthink
on a related note i found out that animedao the site i use to pirate anime has been shut down
A penny for the old anime site.
For me it was Animekisa. Luckily in their shutting down page they linked to a few better sites.

I think about it frequently so I think it deserved a video while I remembered the interesting bits.
kinda sucks this kinomoto1990 channel doesn't exist anymore even tho this video isn't even 1 year old..
The best way to watch the Sasuke Retrieval arc!
