I kinda hate how this show could be compared to fan-animations.. The fan-animations improved, while the studios (outside of Ghibli and Aardman) are failing flat.
I agree. The abridged gave the characters so much more detail. I for one, will always remember Aloe and Anise as Lyngarth's resident drug cooks as opposed to just the people who hosted Rosemary and Sage in the original. Speaking of Rosemary, I can't imagine her without the Gluttony Demon now, wanting to eat absolutely everything. And Sage having a mother that has accumulated a sizable body count of New Magic users, where not even her own daughters are safe feels much more engaging than just Sage mentioning how her mother hates New Magic like what happened in the original.
High guardian spice. The fever dream that we'll remember no matter how hard we try not too. Happy spice day! To Snapdragon, Amaryllis, Parnelle, Zinnia and Slime boy ONLY!
2 years later, and I still enjoy breaking down and trying to rebuild this show... I think HGS Brain Rot is real, and it has infected me. I am fine with this.
He didn't even need to make an in depth video this time lmao Crazy that this show is already 2 years old, I still remember the controversy when it released
In two years, the feelings that were fresh at the time had cooled down and I wondered if I had been too hard on the show. But then I saw an old comment of mine and I realised that, no, my feelings were genuine and my criticisms were well founded. This show wasn't just bad, it was insulting. The fact that Snapdragon is pushed towards being trans because they can't man properly. The fact that only the female villains are redeemed while the male antagonists are treated as irredeemable. Everything that comes out of Sage's mouth. If anything, the feelings have become ingrained because this gender essentialisation is the flaw that continues to persist in other shows. High Guardian Spice, though the best example of the problem, has become part of a greater problem within modern media.
Technically, the teaser trailer was released back in 2018, but the reception to it was so negative, the production of the show itself was very troubled, the world itself went through a pandemic and Crunchyroll got bought by Sony in the meantime, that HGS was released with little fanfare. I think the show feels older due to the first teaser
OOOO Boy, Spice Day! That magical time of the year when the voices in my head get louder and I am ever reminded of the unhinged nightmare that was this show. At least the fanfiction and abridged series is good.
I feel like it'll be relevant as a show of everything not to do with an animated series. If anything, HGS's...everything serves a good lesson to remember. For all the wrong reasons! 1. How NOT to do a trailer 2. How NOT to promote your show 3. How NOT to get a good platform 4. How NOT to write a good story 5. How NOT to invest people into your story 6. How NOT to write dialogue 7. How NOT to animate 8. How NOT to understand your strengths and weaknesses and skills as a studio 9. How NOT to do representation 10. How NOT to write a setting 11. How NOT to do good character design 12. How NOT to voice act 13. How NOT to do audio mixing (good fucking grief how did they screw THIS up?!) 14. How NOT to do consistency and backgrounds ......honestly there was so much wrong with all of this, its fascinating to study and learn from.
Honestly it is nice to have a show that keeps giving us everything we don't want; it's like a Christmas gift you'll never like but realize you're stuck with it.
Since the Christmas time passedI would like to raise a question - if Guardian Spice had Winter/Christmas themed episode how would they make it? What would be the same and what would be different? And finally, what would they NOT use magic for? For the last thing I say: Snow shovelling, we would see at least one magic using person struggle with snow.
Okay, confession time. Before finding your channel I heard about the show but had no intention of ever seeing it but after watching your videos I said why not and warched the whole season. I actually liked it, don't get me wrong the production, writing, etc. is not good by any means. But if you enjoy the average slice of life trash series and can look past the flaws it's actually enjoyable.
I didn't know Thyme could fly. What do you mean he was referring to Time as in the intangible concept that dictates the when and events that fit into that when, in order to create things like motion, cause and effect?
what i notice so far (without watchng the show): -rosemary looks almost like (if not just the same) as minky momo -sage's halloween costume looks suspiciously similar to a certain magical girl who ascended into devilhood just want to comment on that cause the design looks odd in comparison to the rest of the designs
Wait a minute.. Minky Momo as in "Gigi"?? The show was known for strange evenements, like the couple of humans accepting Gigi as their daughter.. 😂 The father's reaction achieved me! "Since when i have a daughter?, bah, it's without importance".
@@pablocasas5906well, now mulling over it again, the colour code for each character suspiciously correspond with the holy quintent characters: 1. madoka - rosemary 2. sayaka - sage 3. mami - parsley 4. kyoko - thyme and homura for amarylis ofc just an afterthought that i found interesting
@@violetsnowfield wow, it never crossed my mind that perhaps Raye directly based the main characters of HGS on the ones from Madoka Magica I remember reading a interview Raye gave after HGS first teaser and another one made after the show was released, and he mentioned that he grew up watching plenty of anime, he mentioned Magic Knight Rayearth as one of his main inspiration, and I can see some superficial similarities between Rosemary and Hikaru. He also mentioned enjoying Ranma ½, but then admitted the show hasn't aged well and that now is kind of problematic. The whole interview was focused mainly of how diverse HGS was compared to other cartoons and anime, and I mean, I have nothing against that, but they barely discussed the characters personalities, aside from some superficial elements. I don't want to criticize Raye too hard, but it feels like he and his team weren't talented enough to tell an engaging story
They should've have known that Rosemary being dumb wouldn't work.. She doesn't have the design and personnality for that. Even Luffy can be a kind of Einstein when needed.
Knowing Karen Strassman and Wendee Lee where in this show especially makes me sick to my stomach…..(Wendee’s incident was recent but that’s beside the point)
@@ARStudios2000 Karen is Anti BLM/Anti Autistic and supports trump (I.e. she’s extremely bigoted) and Wendee harassed several co VA’s after she was recasted on Bleach.
It's crazy how you spent 2 years so thoroughly bashing something that is middle of the road at worst. Do you, like, have lives? I don't even like the series and I share some of your gripes with it but at this point it feels unnecessary.
Just wait until 5 years later, until our standards eventually lower to the point to where we find this good
our standard may lower but HGS will always be somehow lower
@@Greenstiker8975Velma happened, there will be another
All three comments...perfect. 👏
When 5 years come, it's gonna be a masterpiece by comparison of the at the time million dollar productions
Avatar still exists so standards won't drop
It's hilarious how a big time studio can fail so bad, the show is still remembered for ALL the wrong reasons
Just like velma. Except there is nothing good there except maybe the animation sometimes
@artsyscrub3226 Wven then it's more "Velma's Animation isn't awful" rather than "Its good" aside from the hallucinations of course
@@seandewar47
True, everything else is awful though.
I kinda hate how this show could be compared to fan-animations..
The fan-animations improved, while the studios (outside of Ghibli and Aardman) are failing flat.
You guys made HGS great, especially with the parody series.
I agree. The abridged gave the characters so much more detail.

That was such an in-depth video that really changed my perspective on this whole show
High guardian spice. The fever dream that we'll remember no matter how hard we try not too. Happy spice day! To Snapdragon, Amaryllis, Parnelle, Zinnia and Slime boy ONLY!
2 years later, and I still enjoy breaking down and trying to rebuild this show... I think HGS Brain Rot is real, and it has infected me. I am fine with this.
This show feels like yesterday. I still can’t believe this has been out a year.
He didn't even need to make an in depth video this time lmao
Crazy that this show is already 2 years old, I still remember the controversy when it released
I’m still waiting for the second season,this was incredibly interesting. Can’t believe Rosemary had such a good character arc.
The real arcs were the videos that came after
This should be displayed in Writing and Animation courses. "How not to suck at making stories"
THIS!
Damn, 2 Years later and one thing is for certain. Sage's Mom is still High-Key Thicc.

It's called High Guardian Spice because the animators were high while animating
Oh no, now I’m gonna end up binging this series again. 😂
It’s a great laugh, and gives me motivation to write!
Just binge watched most of your High Guardian Spice videos, perfect anniversary :D
I can’t believe High Guardian Spice predicted the Five Nights at Freddy’s movie
Impossible, that's the other way around.
2 years of straight hating is insane
I remember when we thought this was as low as we could go. Good times.
Hello algorithm also completely forgot the existence of this show
And that’s about everything. See you in a year for the third anniversary, everyone. 🚪
Glad to see Guardian purgatory is still treating you well 2 years later
2 years later and Raye Rodriguez has yet to subject us to "Reclaim Gloria" LOLOLOLOL
Like it or not, this man is spitting facts.
IT'S STILL BAD? IMPOSSIBLE!
I KNEW IT!
Wait I thought it came out FOUR years ago... what is time...

OOOO Boy, Spice Day! That magical time of the year when the voices in my head get louder and I am ever reminded of the unhinged nightmare that was this show. At least the fanfiction and abridged series is good.
And in other news, the queen of England is still dead
Nani?
I didn't check the length and was ready for a serious video 😭
the day high guardian spice becomes good is the day fiction has fallen
When I read the title I felt my hair turn gray
I feel like the question that needed to be asked is if HGS still relevant
I feel like it'll be relevant as a show of everything not to do with an animated series. If anything, HGS's...everything serves a good lesson to remember. For all the wrong reasons!

Remember the lamp JPG? Pepperidge farm remembers
I’ll tell you what I want, what I re- wait. Wrong Spice.
I like how you went in detail.
Well wonderful performance everyone, see you all next year!
Only 2 years? Jesus this is the first time I don't feel old i thought the show was like 3-4 years
I thought it came out in 2019 before the pandemic
For me, the show is typically something for "good-thinkers" from 2013..or perhaps a tad later..
I came across your video last year and now I honestly want to watch it to experience the craptastic crappiest crap first hand
But is it a food? THESE ARE QUESTIONS THAT MUST BE ANSWERED!
Don't mind me, just gonna be old in this corner
HAPPY HUGH GAIRNIN DAY
Do I still entertain the guilty pleasure of a nigh-miracle-requiring second season of this high guardian disaster?
*_Y e s_*
Honestly it is nice to have a show that keeps giving us everything we don't want; it's like a Christmas gift you'll never like but realize you're stuck with it.
Yes
Wow, 2 whole years! I sure am late to the party 😂
Ah, I love this channel!
huh i didnt know that, actually just yesterday i was rewatching your old content for the shits and giggles
this poor man's life was ruined by spice guardian hi
Methinks I'd like even more thought media critiques from you
Yeah I mean it certainly hasn't changed in two years.
I still can't believe that they called the show "spice" when all the characters are named after herbs.
Like, they failed at their very first job! 😂
Time for another Guardian HQ marathon. Damn its been a while since i watched you guys vids.
HGS has been out as long as it has been shelved.
I feel like you have a love hate relationship with Guardian Spice
How a toxic love relationship you hate but can't stop coming back
2yrs later and the show still succs (especially Sage)
10/10 best video essay on RUclips.
I need help. I keep thinking about High Guardian Spice after all these years. I need season 2 to happen
Bruh 😂 Sage's face made me laugh
0:16 "i have no ideas, just end me".
Since the Christmas time passedI would like to raise a question - if Guardian Spice had Winter/Christmas themed episode how would they make it? What would be the same and what would be different? And finally, what would they NOT use magic for?
For the last thing I say: Snow shovelling, we would see at least one magic using person struggle with snow.
I wasn’t expecting the video to end after just 17 seconds🤣🤣
Commemorate the world-changing moment
dude, you been doing this for a whole year, i cant tell if you like the show or hate it
this show might be bad...
yeah that's it
After Velma it is not bad but mediocre
This came out on my late grandma’s birthday?!
2 Years!!!🎉🎉🎉
It can be said, that the only thing timeless about it, is that it’s bad.😂
Guardian, I think you secretly like High Guardian Spice because I counted 195 videos of it 😟
DONT LET THE FLAME DIE OUT!!!
Wait it's been two years😭
My perception of time is messed up
Okay, confession time. Before finding your channel I heard about the show but had no intention of ever seeing it but after watching your videos I said why not and warched the whole season.

the parody series is the only good thing to come out of this goofy ahh show
Happy spice day🎉✨️
i actually found your channel right before you made this video, looked up when high guardian spice came out then you realised the video
I didn't know Thyme could fly.
What do you mean he was referring to Time as in the intangible concept that dictates the when and events that fit into that when, in order to create things like motion, cause and effect?
Huge fan! (of your videos)
what i notice so far (without watchng the show):
-rosemary looks almost like (if not just the same) as minky momo
-sage's halloween costume looks suspiciously similar to a certain magical girl who ascended into devilhood
just want to comment on that cause the design looks odd in comparison to the rest of the designs
Wait a minute.. Minky Momo as in "Gigi"??
The show was known for strange evenements, like the couple of humans accepting Gigi as their daughter.. 😂 The father's reaction achieved me!
"Since when i have a daughter?, bah, it's without importance".
I'd say Rosemary looks more like Madoka Kaname from Madoka Magica. In fact, Raye's first sketches made Rose look more like Madoka
@@pablocasas5906 Yeah, she looked and still looks too similar to Madoka.
@@pablocasas5906well, now mulling over it again, the colour code for each character suspiciously correspond with the holy quintent characters:
1. madoka - rosemary
2. sayaka - sage
3. mami - parsley
4. kyoko - thyme
and homura for amarylis ofc
just an afterthought that i found interesting

She doesn't have the design and personnality for that.
Even Luffy can be a kind of Einstein when needed.
Well at least your version is fun to watch
I am waiting for the day where this show will be considered the average among the rest of the trash
quality content
yes
wow, i didnt notice this channel was created to roast hgs til the after life

What happened?

lol no. being anti blm is normal, becuz its a scam. also supporting trump is fine. @@eve123princess9
LMAO not going to lie, this got me
make interviews with the cast of hgs,please.
it’s kinda sad how this is still going lol like we get it you don’t like the show
nah its not
I bet nobody from HGS knows who the main character of Harry Potter or Percy Jackson is.
How is this still a thing? Like vampires roaches and McDonald's cheese burgers it will last forever.
2 years and it's still going strong!
Sorry, I meant wrong
Hey Dave, what’s your opinion on Loonatics Unleashed?
*YES*
689th! think you guys needed to know that
where's the 1 hour version
when will you continue your velma videos?
Ok?
Review she-ra its very good
As bad as the show may be it brings a lot of entertaining videos with it so thats a win
HGS is still better than a lotta stuff tbh
are you drunk?
@@RedFirefly96hgs is bad, but not as bad as velma
🍸 No more martini!
Go home Bud, Your Drunk
