He wears clothes just like how those in Ghost in the shell with cybernetic and full cyber bodies still eat They don't need to eat but they choose to eat. The new kind of food that is made for them mimic normal foods is tasteless but it still helps keep the memories of what it is to be human. Just like how his clothes may make him look dorky but it makes him feel like he is still human or free will and not some mindless machine....Show some pity for the poor guy Sage
You forgot one thing. Olympus was built by Bioroids, which are genetically created and programed humans. Then we have the humans and the cyborgs, which are wounded humans which are keep alive by robotics. This, there are two type of beings in this world. Humans, and the controllers of Olympus, Bioroids.
Hairspray is a Bioroid also. Which means she is not exactly human. That is why she can still hear after having a pistol fired near her ear. Which is my BS reasoning. I want this DVD.
The Bullshit excuse is Bioroids are 4 to 8 times stronger and resilient than humans. Their "Fleshy parts" are top gear high end Genetics complete with mostly illegal editing, The rest of them, Bones and "important parts" are 100% badass sauce
I do enjoy the character concepts of Deunan and Briareos. Two damaged war vets that are unshakably bound by their deep feelings for one another with a long history behind them that we don't see. Briareos bothered by his status as a cyborg and trying to live as human as he can, but Deunan not really being bothered at all but sometimes showing hints of being deeply afraid of losing him again. Deunan being spunky but also serious. At a core level they are very compelling, albeit held back sometimes by some executions of those ideas over the years.
The only issue I have is you keep keep forgetting Briareos Isn't a robot, he's a human in a prosthetic body. If I remember it's brought up a few times in the show or at least the manga, Tv shows, and ALL the AU Movies...
shouldn't the solution to the "lifeless paradise" to have virtual struggles to give people a sense of purpose? i play video games because the real world is stressful and if i'm not with trustworthy people it's usually drama-seeking kids in adult bodies. i'll make my own paradise until i have to leave the house to take care of myself.
Manga Entertainment video releases, those were good days of my anime fan youth. :) The OVA was a cheap tie-in for the early volumes of the manga which at the time was a big success and very popular. The anime was made without Shirow's involvement, and it shows a lot. All the flash, none of the substance. The Greek mythological references are intentional, and NOT hipster tongue-in-cheek. Olympus is a deliberate showcase for The Future in an otherwise crapsack world. Hecatonchiros means "hundred-handed", and refers in-story to Briareos's onboard augmented senses and hackerware which can theoretically let him run an aircraft carrier by himself! (Not that the OVA story used that capability in any way.) BTW Briareos is a cyborg, a modified human, not an android. He is still fully human at his core, and he acts like it without being the stereotypical Cyberpunk ticking time bomb.
my god mr sage, long time fan and you still shock me on how great your writing is. Seriously the best reviewer on the internet, your script, delivery and persona is just beautiful man, never stop!
So let me get this straight: Olympus has no unemployment, free healthcare, a literal embodiment of a welfare state where you can lead a safe and happy life without fear of impoverishment and being guaranteed security, and people hate it? I'm pretty certain all the people in the world who live on the streets, go hungry, have no access to medicine and are in constant fear of being killed would disagree with the view of that being the ideal way of life.
Hipsters, psychos and idiots would always exist.. I understand why people could be disappointed by success but acting like nut isn't solution for anything. In end that motive end totally pretentious.
Manx VanGura Yes, of course. Its all depend on scale of his augmentation. The issue is that they never clearly explained that and it seams that and he have full body prosthetic. He could be like that but I see why people could see that as something off.
Ghost in the shell does this by showing that those with cybernetic don't need to eat but they choose to eat. The new kind of food that is made for them mimic normal foods is tasteless but it still helps keep the memories of what it is to be human
IIRC, in the manga it says Briareos wears clothes because he was once totally human and that the current robot body he has, has a thin membrane over it connected to his spinal column that allows him to feel things as if he had skin again. So he wears clothes because it makes him still feel human and not totally robotic, like the tongue man in AD Police, or Motoko in GitS (who users her charm bracelet to similar effect).
There is one small problem with your argument.. An android is an 100% artificial construction (biodroids) a cyborg is a 100% real human with artificial parts strapped to them. He is a cyborg, the show doesn't say how much is bunny but and how much is human but human food and human organs suggests hes at least got lungs that work, organs that work and this is not an android. In the manna however basically his head, torso, and some of his lower organs survived.
Brearios is really similar to Robocop in his construction, he has a human brain as well as part of his human digestive system. The funny thing about Brearios is his was misnamed. His robotics were supposed to be named Panoptes because of his multiple eyes or ocular censors.
Have you done Orphan? I remember watching that in the early 2000's on Adult Swim, but it must've been way older than that. Remember it being pretty good
Oh god all of the bad guys in this anime are Izzak Crowe from Batman Fortunate Son. All that's missing is for Spider Jerusalem to start seeing visions of a Che Guevara stand in or something.
"Ah, the 80s. The only time in history when anime hairstyles and real life hairstyles were equally ridiculous." *DON'T TEMPT ME.* That doesn't sound like Jontron. And the purple bunny robot in the thumbnail doesn't look like Bonnie. I am disappoint. I wonder what Sage thinks of JonTron now. I'm sure whatever it is will make me want to watch JonTron even more, out of spite. Oh and Nicholas Cage and Keanus Reeves are OBVIOUSLY immortals, not time travellers. Everybody with half a brain can see that.
I know this review is three years old, but I have to say this. Briareos is a Cyborg not a Robot, that means the machinery keeps him alive but still requires food, water and oxygen.
Btw Sage.... he is a cyborg... not an android, yes he has a digestive system, a circulatory system, a respiratory system. Lol, he is still a human being man. just all those organs are in a tin can
If you do not like Olympus, go build your own city. Nobody is stopping you and there is a lot of unclaimed land out there. The complaint of the terrorists is not that they do not have freedom but that they are bored.
I think you missed the point, I think the no unemployment and how the main character hates this utopia implies forced rolls, also when they invade his memories. I also don't think he wants to live in the waste lands, he probably wants the life that was once there pre- WW3 or should I say a freer Olympus. people probably still are forced to work and possible not fullfill personal goals like being a artist free thinker etc. seems every one is working a cubical job honestly.
13:23 Brearios is a cyborg, so that means SOME parts of his body are still organic, requiring food to keep living, as well as whatever powers his robot parts. Even cyborgs in GitS gotta eat and drink. They probably use alcohol as fuel.
Note that the original US VHS release was a subtitled one by a company called US Renditions. And I really don't remember the language being that R rated.
I think that they were going with could have worked hear if they had framed it better. The idea of life being nothing but an ever repeating sequence of drudgery, no matter how nice that drudgery is, isn't a bad idea for a motive.
It's been a long time since I read the manga, but weren't the biodroids genetically enhanced organics (like Blade Runner's replicants) and distinct from the cyborgs?
I enjoyed the entire Appleseed franchise, but why does all 4 films and the TV show climax with the exact same floating robot battle fortress thing? That damn thing is more overused than the Deathstar.
Ohhhhhh so tempting. At the time I watched this, the video has 71 dislikes. I don't know why, but I feel it would be funny to fulfill his 72 dislikes, just not in the way he wanted. But, the review was too good, I just can't bring myself to dislike it.
not going to lie but I liked Appleseed Alpha because one I love the cyberpunk stuff and two it focused on the two main characters trying to get to olympus, therefor the characters emotions and action were simple and understandable. plus well it looked pretty kickass
The one thing I remember most about Manga Entertainment was how it had this stable of terrible (or at least terrible looking) OVAs that it would include a roll-call of trailers for on other, better DVDs that you ended up buying. Every time the DVD extras would include stuff like Vampire Wars, Amon Saga etc, sometimes running for almost half an hour and at least 20 titles that you'd recognise every time and eventually know almost word-for-word.
if there is an archer clip for any occasion, then you should play the robotech battlecry game, it has a character named Jack Archer, we all know where this could go
Manga still have a big presence in the UK. The fact that HMV (an entertainment shop) still calls anime 'manga' on store displays in 2016. Even more strange, Manga actually released some books (yeah actual MANGA), all licensed form other publishers, including Appleseed.
Speaking about 90's JRPGs Sage .... Do you have a copy (if it even exists a copy) of the Ys I&II anime?? If you do... please... take it in consideration for a review!
I always thought that Briareos only had his upper torso replaced with cybernetics (because he was severely injured and they didn't have more sophisticated parts to replace him with) but kept his internal organs and lower body (albeit reindforced to hold himself up) so he's still human and still has to eat. I might have read that on the flash website that was promoting the CGI Appleseed movie a while back so I don't know how true it is here
Commenting on an old video, I know, but..... On Briarios wearing clothes: Well, the 'core' of him is still a human being, so he probably just feels more comfortable wearing clothing, and probably a bit more 'human' while doing so, even though he no longer 'needs' to wear it (otherwise wouldn't we just wear clothes that look exactly the same 7 days a week?)
At 06:35 that is actually something the Spetsnaz did to some terrorists, I am not fucking kidding about that either they really did gas both the terrorists and the hostages and shot the terrorists while they were unconscious. But they didn't for some reason tell the medical professionals what they used and that resulted in the deaths of several hostages.
One nitpick to get off my chest first thing Sage, the clothes on Briareos really aren't that weird, it's more for HIM then for the police force/society. He's still a human being being despite having a clearly non-human form, so it makes sense for some measure of human vanity and modesty is still practiced by him for his own humanity. Other then that, yeah this is a piece of crap, I could probably enjoy a little of the action but it's definitely a poor excuse for an anime. Good review!
Y'know I actually own this on vhs. My uncle gave it to me along with some Street fighter OVA that doesn't make sense with anything else based on Street fighter.
I think I've seen the newer appleseed, but I don't remember, I know I've seen an maybe cgi anime moive where a robot guy and human chick where in the future, and the plp were going crazy due to some technology, I think, I don't know if i still have the movie -.-
There has been so many reboots of Appleseed at this point this little 80's flick is pretty much irrelevant. The 2004 Movie and the Appleseed XIII Series seem to be the most loyal to the the Original Comic...
Good grief Gabe's mane is magnificent! 10:07 Man I get some MAJOR Psycho Pass vibes from this scene. 13:10 Maybe he doesn't actually NEED to eat, he just can if he want's to (not that that isn't weird too). If he doesn't actually need to digest the food then maybe he can just pop open a panel to throw it away. Just some food for thought (sorry).
RE: the extra swearing - I think that's also meant to be a 'placeholder' for when the respective lengths of the English dub and the lip-flaps drawn for the Japanese one don't match up, so for example "-fuckin'-" can be slipped in as a one (or in a pinch two) syllable filler, or "...shit." as a one-word remark where there might not be an English equivalent. I fuckin' agree though, the cocksukin' unnecessary swearing can often be goddamn unnatural sounding!
Never saw this OVA but was aware of it but WTF was that? I've read the manga and the first two volumes (don't bother with volume 3/4 as they are an incomplete story that will never be finished) are damn good from what I can remember and have diddly squat to do with whatever this was about.
So it wasn't a Utopia after all. A good point in favor of this statement was brought up by Chad Walsh in his "From Utopia to Nightmare" : People cannot feel tired of happiness.
"Nostalgic for anyone who grew up playing 90's JRPGs" *gets hopes up* Gestalt. Dammit Bennett! Pokemon's never going to happen on this show, is it! You're going to have to tackle the monster that was 4Kids at SOME point!!
I argue yu-gi-oh was pretty good 4 kids did edit the guns out however the concept of the shadow realm over death has it's own unique horror to it. in stead of an end to your pain, your trapped forever in the abyss with horrible monsters.
Pausing at 4:55: Pants have pockets, joints can be covered and kept clean, scratches can be prevented from tarnishing more sensitive areas. It is like how your laptop has a carrying case or people with really good cars put a tarp on them at night. Heck, if you identify as human, clothing can help integration into society especially if it is a uniform or job. Now if the robot was in a parka I would call BS on "How cold could you be?".
He wears clothes just like how those in Ghost in the shell with cybernetic and full cyber bodies still eat
They don't need to eat but they choose to eat. The new kind of food that is made for them mimic normal foods is tasteless but it still helps keep the memories of what it is to be human. Just like how his clothes may make him look dorky but it makes him feel like he is still human or free will and not some mindless machine....Show some pity for the poor guy Sage

Briareos was human at one point, so he probably feels more comfortable when clothed. Also, I am a girl and love Appleseed. Deunan is so badass!
exactly!! like ex humans will try to just do things they did in their life i think like wear cloths.
I do enjoy the character concepts of Deunan and Briareos. Two damaged war vets that are unshakably bound by their deep feelings for one another with a long history behind them that we don't see. Briareos bothered by his status as a cyborg and trying to live as human as he can, but Deunan not really being bothered at all but sometimes showing hints of being deeply afraid of losing him again. Deunan being spunky but also serious. At a core level they are very compelling, albeit held back sometimes by some executions of those ideas over the years.
The 2004 remake did a better job of explaining the back story to Deunan and Briareos.
The only issue I have is you keep keep forgetting Briareos Isn't a robot, he's a human in a prosthetic body. If I remember it's brought up a few times in the show or at least the manga, Tv shows, and ALL the AU Movies...

"You underestimated the power of Japanese technology,you evil bitch!" Some Japanese tech company needs to adopt that as their slogan immediately!
my god mr sage, long time fan and you still shock me on how great your writing is. Seriously the best reviewer on the internet, your script, delivery and persona is just beautiful man, never stop!
So let me get this straight: Olympus has no unemployment, free healthcare, a literal embodiment of a welfare state where you can lead a safe and happy life without fear of impoverishment and being guaranteed security, and people hate it?

Hipsters, psychos and idiots would always exist.. I understand why people could be disappointed by success but acting like nut isn't solution for anything. In end that motive end totally pretentious.
Welfare states never last, if the anime were to bring attention to that it might have an argument. But it doesn't, and it looks dumb.
+Afriend ofyours
Can you back up your statement?
Soviet Union, Canada's shitty hospital system, and Greece going bankrupt.
Only the Soviets would call their Union a welfare state.
I'm a simple man. I see a new Anime Abandon, I click like.
same.
Cyborgs have biological parts so they need to eat.
But they don't need do that directly. Digestive system is quite complicated and far more sufficient solution is use of food capsules.
yeah but I thought cyborgs were existing people that just had robotic parts added on, like people with prosthetic arms and legs
Manx VanGura Yes, of course. Its all depend on scale of his augmentation. The issue is that they never clearly explained that and it seams that and he have full body prosthetic. He could be like that but I see why people could see that as something off.
I was thinking the food would turn to fuel and such
Ghost in the shell does this by showing that those with cybernetic don't need to eat but they choose to eat. The new kind of food that is made for them mimic normal foods is tasteless but it still helps keep the memories of what it is to be human
IIRC, in the manga it says Briareos wears clothes because he was once totally human and that the current robot body he has, has a thin membrane over it connected to his spinal column that allows him to feel things as if he had skin again.

In the manna however basically his head, torso, and some of his lower organs survived.
This is also why he wears cloths and the like its an attempt to feel somewhat human again.
So the villain of this anime is cyborg One Punch Man. Oh if only....
New anime abandon and new jontron. This has been a good youtube day :)
Two birds with one stone.
sadly we won't see that again
Why would you use Windows 12?
Everyone knows 11 works much better.
I'd probably just use Debian 9 if it weren't for fucking Origin.
11 Isn't compatible with beyond good and evil 2...
I would love to read a book about the history of Manga video.Appleseed is by no means "good" but it was always a guilty pleasure of mine.
Brearios is really similar to Robocop in his construction, he has a human brain as well as part of his human digestive system.
The funny thing about Brearios is his was misnamed. His robotics were supposed to be named Panoptes because of his multiple eyes or ocular censors.
hey bennett , what type of hentai would you want someone to draw you in ? and who's your waifu ?
"One must imagine Sisyphus happy" Albert Camus
Have you done Orphan? I remember watching that in the early 2000's on Adult Swim, but it must've been way older than that. Remember it being pretty good
That would be interesting to see, he hasn't done a light novel adaptation.
Oh god all of the bad guys in this anime are Izzak Crowe from Batman Fortunate Son. All that's missing is for Spider Jerusalem to start seeing visions of a Che Guevara stand in or something.
"Ah, the 80s. The only time in history when anime hairstyles and real life hairstyles were equally ridiculous."
*DON'T TEMPT ME.*
That doesn't sound like Jontron. And the purple bunny robot in the thumbnail doesn't look like Bonnie. I am disappoint.

Oh and Nicholas Cage and Keanus Reeves are OBVIOUSLY immortals, not time travellers. Everybody with half a brain can see that.
Pfft back during the professionally offended and when ppl believed everything
*Is feeling very awkward because the first jrpg I ever played was Lightning Warrior Raidy.*
I know this review is three years old, but I have to say this. Briareos is a Cyborg not a Robot, that means the machinery keeps him alive but still requires food, water and oxygen.
Holy fuck sage.... that speech about life and struggling was poetic as hell..... um.... #Sage2016 ?
Btw Sage.... he is a cyborg... not an android, yes he has a digestive system, a circulatory system, a respiratory system. Lol, he is still a human being man. just all those organs are in a tin can
Damn this was a long time coming, but I'm glad Sage finally got around to it.
If you do not like Olympus, go build your own city. Nobody is stopping you and there is a lot of unclaimed land out there.

Ps he isn't a Cyborg, he was human before they say it.
Appleseed was awesome! How dare you!
Loved the episode.
I hope you'll get to do the other versions of AppleSeed, including the series that's suppose to follow after the 2004 movie
a bioroid is NOT merely a cyborg and Briareos IS NOT a bioroid.
4:50 Thats what always confused me albout alphonse on FMA. was the apron covering a huge cod piece or something?
To me it's an artistic choice. Instead of a coat, they gave him an apron to give a different color to his armor.
16:27 - 16:38
This is why I subscribed to you. Bennett. Your wonderfully, terribly descriptive insults bring a tear to my eye in their pure splendor.
OMG you referenced Scrubs, I love you even more than I already did.
13:23 Brearios is a cyborg, so that means SOME parts of his body are still organic, requiring food to keep living, as well as whatever powers his robot parts. Even cyborgs in GitS gotta eat and drink. They probably use alcohol as fuel.
"Let me out of this cocksuckin' thing" - it's like poetry.
"It rhymes."
I think the bunny robot looks fucking awesome!
Note that the original US VHS release was a subtitled one by a company called US Renditions. And I really don't remember the language being that R rated.
Huh, was expecting Emperor Sage to show up at the time travel bit
I think that they were going with could have worked hear if they had framed it better. The idea of life being nothing but an ever repeating sequence of drudgery, no matter how nice that drudgery is, isn't a bad idea for a motive.
It's been a long time since I read the manga, but weren't the biodroids genetically enhanced organics (like Blade Runner's replicants) and distinct from the cyborgs?
I enjoyed the entire Appleseed franchise, but why does all 4 films and the TV show climax with the exact same floating robot battle fortress thing? That damn thing is more overused than the Deathstar.
Its because here the climax of first arc of Manga's ends.
And people are lazy.
It still hasn't beaten the portal in the sky XD
*looks at the description* Why only 72 thumbs down?
Ohhhhhh so tempting. At the time I watched this, the video has 71 dislikes. I don't know why, but I feel it would be funny to fulfill his 72 dislikes, just not in the way he wanted.
But, the review was too good, I just can't bring myself to dislike it.
not going to lie but I liked Appleseed Alpha because one I love the cyberpunk stuff and two it focused on the two main characters trying to get to olympus, therefor the characters emotions and action were simple and understandable. plus well it looked pretty kickass
What anime is shown at 8:41
Damn does Briaeros sound exactly like "L" the space police robot from 1978 Starcrash😄
The one thing I remember most about Manga Entertainment was how it had this stable of terrible (or at least terrible looking) OVAs that it would include a roll-call of trailers for on other, better DVDs that you ended up buying. Every time the DVD extras would include stuff like Vampire Wars, Amon Saga etc, sometimes running for almost half an hour and at least 20 titles that you'd recognise every time and eventually know almost word-for-word.
Sage, you just gained a zillion cool points for a Transmet reference. Spider Jerusalem is probably one of fiction's best, most amazing bastards ever.
if there is an archer clip for any occasion, then you should play the robotech battlecry game, it has a character named Jack Archer, we all know where this could go
Manga still have a big presence in the UK. The fact that HMV (an entertainment shop) still calls anime 'manga' on store displays in 2016. Even more strange, Manga actually released some books (yeah actual MANGA), all licensed form other publishers, including Appleseed.
Yes Briareos can feel temperature.
2:22 What Anime Abandon was this?
6:52 That grenade took a really long time to explode. Lol
Speaking about 90's JRPGs Sage .... Do you have a copy (if it even exists a copy) of the Ys I&II anime?? If you do... please... take it in consideration for a review!
I always thought that Briareos only had his upper torso replaced with cybernetics (because he was severely injured and they didn't have more sophisticated parts to replace him with) but kept his internal organs and lower body (albeit reindforced to hold himself up) so he's still human and still has to eat. I might have read that on the flash website that was promoting the CGI Appleseed movie a while back so I don't know how true it is here
Commenting on an old video, I know, but.....

Maybe its just me but that guy didn't sound at all like Jontron.
Dident sound like jontron to be either
same here.
The UK division still distribute titles.
I hope you review the 2004 film. It came out in 2005 in the US, so it's not past your cut off date yet.
8:22 Four As? How about 5 Ts? And a keyboard configuration that spells out Atari!
Okay, it's attari, but close enough!
as a kid i thought Briareos was like anime robocop
He's robocop with a kickass girlfriend
Believe me boy,i though the same of Patlabor...and I still love it
are you gonna make a a review of a ghost in the shell stand alone complex?
I just got that Brad Neely reference.
well cyborg does mean hes still part human, chances are its a mechanical shell with all the human organs still in place so eating isnt too strange
At 06:35 that is actually something the Spetsnaz did to some terrorists, I am not fucking kidding about that either they really did gas both the terrorists and the hostages and shot the terrorists while they were unconscious. But they didn't for some reason tell the medical professionals what they used and that resulted in the deaths of several hostages.
Wait, is the girl's name Munin? As in one of Odin's ravens Munin?
wait better the grenade upstairs so how did the explosion happen down stairs😮
Where can I find out all the anime titles that you use in the title sequence
Great vid. I remember watching this anime as a kid and just being really bored and confused.
Well, since he's a cyborg, he probably does have shame and probably does come with some parts that might still be human...
5:00 I always love going back to this video and just watch this moment
One nitpick to get off my chest first thing Sage, the clothes on Briareos really aren't that weird, it's more for HIM then for the police force/society.
He's still a human being being despite having a clearly non-human form, so it makes sense for some measure of human vanity and modesty is still practiced by him for his own humanity.
Other then that, yeah this is a piece of crap, I could probably enjoy a little of the action but it's definitely a poor excuse for an anime.
Good review!
Bennet, can you please review the three newer films that were based on this?
9:56 Azura from Fire Emblem?
Y'know I actually own this on vhs. My uncle gave it to me along with some Street fighter OVA that doesn't make sense with anything else based on Street fighter.
..... that didn't sound like Jontron.
Just found this amazing channel
I think I've seen the newer appleseed, but I don't remember, I know I've seen an maybe cgi anime moive where a robot guy and human chick where in the future, and the plp were going crazy due to some technology, I think, I don't know if i still have the movie -.-
maybe human (the girl)
can someone tell what's it called btw
Oh, I thought this was going to be about the animated version, didn't even know this existed.
Wait, what do you mean by "animated version?"
The 2004 digitally animated film he mentions in the beginning of the review.
I think I remember seeing this on G4's anime block before.
I used to always call the robot Free Oreos
There has been so many reboots of Appleseed at this point this little 80's flick is pretty much irrelevant. The 2004 Movie and the Appleseed XIII Series seem to be the most loyal to the the Original Comic...
No they aren't? Neither of them follow the ot of the original manga at all
@@calebkendrick5286 Here's YOUR original Manga: ruclips.net/video/lk7ByBi6kRA/видео.html
Good grief Gabe's mane is magnificent!
10:07 Man I get some MAJOR Psycho Pass vibes from this scene.
13:10 Maybe he doesn't actually NEED to eat, he just can if he want's to (not that that isn't weird too). If he doesn't actually need to digest the food then maybe he can just pop open a panel to throw it away. Just some food for thought (sorry).
Will you ever review Cyber City Oedo 808?
Ok if you want to struggle in the bombed out hell whole ok but don't force others to do the same.
Just a suggestion but sage could you ever make a video on the old ova of jojo's bizarre adventure
can you do a review of r.o.d the TV good anime with nice charters and Story
RE: the extra swearing - I think that's also meant to be a 'placeholder' for when the respective lengths of the English dub and the lip-flaps drawn for the Japanese one don't match up, so for example "-fuckin'-" can be slipped in as a one (or in a pinch two) syllable filler, or "...shit." as a one-word remark where there might not be an English equivalent. I fuckin' agree though, the cocksukin' unnecessary swearing can often be goddamn unnatural sounding!
Actually, Borealis is a human, he's just got a cyborg exoskeleton. He gets shot several times in the manga and has to be hospitalized.
Holy crap, I never knew this existed, I thought it was just the 3 CGI movies and the manga. Would love to see another episode on those.
Never saw this OVA but was aware of it but WTF was that? I've read the manga and the first two volumes (don't bother with volume 3/4 as they are an incomplete story that will never be finished) are damn good from what I can remember and have diddly squat to do with whatever this was about.
so, how buggy IS win12?
So this is where Neil Blomkamp got the design for Chappie?
Sorry to bother what is the name of both songs.
So it wasn't a Utopia after all. A good point in favor of this statement was brought up by Chad Walsh in his "From Utopia to Nightmare" : People cannot feel tired of happiness.
"Nostalgic for anyone who grew up playing 90's JRPGs"

Dammit Bennett! Pokemon's never going to happen on this show, is it! You're going to have to tackle the monster that was 4Kids at SOME point!!
Ahh a 4Kids reference... maybe it's too horrible for him review.

pokemon is the sole thing they did that was good, the rest of what they did falls outside the timeframe that sage liked anime.
what was the DVD sage held up to indicate the next episode?
I argue yu-gi-oh was pretty good 4 kids did edit the guns out however the concept of the shadow realm over death has it's own unique horror to it. in stead of an end to your pain, your trapped forever in the abyss with horrible monsters.
My Tutor at college once said that this was the greatest Anime ever.
Then he hasn't seen Memories, I take it.
Sword art online*
+Ancala Bond
You're new here, aren't you.
+Ancala Bond Ahem...
BERSERK.
That is all.
I just hope you posted Sword Art Online as the greatest anime ever ironically then, or as bait, as it did work on me.
Pausing at 4:55: Pants have pockets, joints can be covered and kept clean, scratches can be prevented from tarnishing more sensitive areas. It is like how your laptop has a carrying case or people with really good cars put a tarp on them at night. Heck, if you identify as human, clothing can help integration into society especially if it is a uniform or job.
Now if the robot was in a parka I would call BS on "How cold could you be?".
