I love Darkside Blues. It's so random and bizarre. And bluesy. Yes, the storylines were seldom connected and the characters sometimes seemed as if they were spliced in from totally different animes, but, to me, it all blended in together and created a world and a mood and an idea that encompassed so much more than just the weight of each individual character and plot. It did away with the usual format and gave us something above and beyond and between. I loved it.
I must admit Baccano would like to have a word with you on the notion that we need a "main character". Really, it opens up with a discussion on the subject. However I do get your point. We focus on people for prolonged periods of time that have little to do with the events going on, and few people if any grow as a person. This is unlike Baccano where you could argue almost everyone that we focus on grows in some respect.
He really does fit into a Neil Gaiman role. Because in every book he's ever written there's at least one plot crucial character wearing jet black, and being a stone cold motherfucker. Seriously. Dream, Shadow, Silas, Septimus, Cat, himself, it never stops.
I caught myself thinking @ 7:07 "How is the chick that's being turned into gold still alive and able to breathe as... the flying... horses... FUCK IT!"
If you're still wondering about that frame at 5:32, here's a tip (for those on a computer or laptop): pause then press , or . on the keyboard. This moves the video frame by frame, so there isn't anymore worrying about missing a hidden message.
I meant the heavy metal / langoliers/ possibly it and the one where weird space radiation makes everyone smart ps love the film adaptions of the green mile and the shining in case you think I'm a hater Also cause the libel law works differently in the UK you insult somebody or they feel defamed you have to prove you didn't In the states you can state something as opinion and only have somebody sue if untrue or malicious I heard he drank during the seventies and did cocaine on RUclips but I got from comments on here and didn't want to defame a good writer with untrue or seemingly malicious comments Just thought knowing the figure is tall and bespectacled like king and gaunt ( talk and thin) he could almost be a caricature like the character sage nicknamed Neil gaiman
Oh, I see. You can also add Cujo to that. He's stated in interviews that he was really high on cocain when he wrote it, to the point that he's said, "It's tense as hell. I wish I could remember writing it." I'm a fan of some of Stephen King's work. When he's good, he's good. When he's bad, it's like having teeth pulled.
cheezemonkeyeater i admit ive only seen the film adaptions of the green mile and the shining so im not able to criiticse his literary work but in reponse to his adaption of it some of the people who watched the nostalgia critic review suggested that and other adaptions such as heavy metal and the langoliers were kinda awful and the source material itself might be flawed in part with one commentator mentioning apparently king himself apologised for the sheer craziness in it eg elements that seemed out of place
This is just a classic tale of trying to shove a series of books into the time frame of a theatrical film. I don't hate it, and I love Hideyuki Kikuchi
Except it’s not. It’s actually adapting a two volume manga, and does so perfectly. The issue is that said manga was basically just an inversion of Hideyuki Kikuchi’s Demon City series… and basically just achieved the same end result through opposite means.
2:14 The nail in the hand Jesus thing is probably more accurate but I get the feeling that Roy is so desperate to feel anything that he's willing to do anything. But I'm probably wrong.
9:48 What sort of ungodly aim does she have that would allow her to shoot that part of the car? It's obvious the guards are, well, slow responders, but unless she has a quickdraw she wouldn't have been able to shoot that part of the car before the guard on the left moved his leg in front of the area.
its more like he took the already tied up physics of the world from the anime that shall not be mentioned, and then decided to have his way with even more than the other guys did with it..
I bought this video about 20 years ago from a dying video store thinking, "I have no anime". That was the last anime I bought, thinking after I watched it several times, "I guess I'm too dumb for anime." Well, anime, the score is even now.
I saw this show long ago, along with A Wind Called Amnesia (which was also confusing as hell} and completely forgot I ever watched it. What set off mymemoru was the guy strolling in with the Horse and Carriage. You know a movie is bad when you forget all about it as soon as you watch it. Shows the impression it left.
Recently started making a review of Serial Experiments Lain and i would be very interested if he ever got around to covering the series since he hates Eva but loves GitS... but could i continue to love him if he went with the former...
Salokin Sekwah Difference between Eva and GitS it that first one don't have much sense and second one do. And before someone mention that I know NGE plot.. it could be decent story if creator wouldn't troll otaku. That is a fact.
Salokin Sekwah No one say that it is perfect movie, especially because it is still Cyberpunk Science Fiction from 90'ties with some typical for that era and genre tropes. But still whole core idea is solid and well executed. On the other hand even if NGE have interesting stylistic choice what in fact I like. Fact is that its ending fall apart, its characters are complete idiots (though Emo love them), in fact many people even don't know what plot is and that it is about aliens not paranormal stuff, simply because it was so poorly explained. Even strongest advantage of this series "originality" isn't true, as it was based on Brave Raiden and many ideas form previous Real Robo. Just big chunk of that wasn't known is States because censorship, what was removed in 90'ties for series like NGE advantage. If you ask my RahXephon is NGE made in proper way, and it also was inspired by Brave Raiden before someone ask.
TheRezro Funnily enough i hated Eva, Hated it, then i watched it a few years latter and though i recognize its many, many flaws i love it. Actually the story for me was pretty straight forward... yeah... Consider that before Eva there was little of anything remotely complex within the Anime genre besides Royal Space Force. Douchbagchoclate did a fantastic overview on the Eva series that i would recommend a viewing, it certainly changed my opinion on the series at least. No kidding.
That part where he says "check this shit out", is just a guy putting two fingers through his pants zipper and pointing them at Sage. It's kind of weird though that the fingers are white, but his arm is black.
Used to see this when Encore Action used to have an anime section along with such titles as Tokyo Babylon. I can admit it wasn't always the best but in that time you had to take what you could get. It was the 2000s then.
The only time I remember anyone ever doing the whole "13th hour" thing right was in Castlevania Nocturne/Symphony. The clock is normal, everything is normal, the hands turn and point normally, the bell tolls normally... but one too many times.
I don't think anyone cares but I've been pondering this movie for a while and were I asked to "script doctor" it I think I would have it be that the little boy Kitari ventured into the other dimension and struck a deal with the entity (that used to be the boy that Persona Century sealed away in that dimension) so when they come out the entity lives inside Kitaris little boy body and creates "projections", e.g. the horses and the carriage, and "Darkside" is a projection that Kitari's now older mind controls. So, the little boy that jumped in the beginning is now acting like a powerful ghost helping people while a powerful ghost plays around in his body.
I'm lucky enough if you can call it that to have the manga this is based off of and even though it's rather large for a 1 volume story it's even less coherent than this anime. I must have read it through seven or eight times trying to find out what the hell I was missing to make me feel so stupid the nearest I can figure is that dark side was sent away as part of an experiment and they were trying to block his return because wherever they sent him would give him special abilities. Set abilities apparently consists of acting like Rod Serling from the twilight zone
To answer the Blade Runner question, I thought of the juxtaposition of one character who's hand is in a great deal of pain wishing to alleviate the damage to his hand while the other is purposely wounding his hand in order to feel pain. One is suffering due to his humanity while the other wants the very thing the other wants to rid himself of. Also, if the good guys can shoot down a damn satellite with a MISSILE MADE OF TIN AND CARDBOARD, and has a guy that can REDIRECT RPG SHELLS WITH A KNIFE, HOW IN THE HELL ARE THEY BEING RULED OVER BY PERSONA??? The fucking A-Team would call bullshit on that, and they pulled off a prison break using lawn chairs, trash bags and hair dryers! What the actual fuck?
KohryuZX its someone in black trousers and a black jacket and black shirt. with their fingers sticking out of their fly so it looks like a dick. but given how quick it went by it would look like a a dick.
Ah, this ones giving me flashbacks to my college's anime club back in 2001. Yeah, watched a LOT of bad, bad stuff back then (surprisingly little of which involved DBZ!).
having watched it (I worked at a video store with a sizable anime section, back when video stores existed) it's more like the insane ramblings of the Ultimate Warrior comics.
Yeah when I bought this on VHS (still got it) I was disappointed by the lack of any plot after watching it. The parts I recall enjoying was the song and the red headed assassin flirting with Darkside. I think the tag on the cover said something about the first Vampire Hunter D movie and boy, should I have known better.
While I will freely admit that there is not much plot in Darksider Blues, I still question one of your criticisms that you have brought up multiple times in this review: Why does it need a main character anyway? What if all the characters are the main characters?
Thrano It's possible to do it, Game of Thrones does it, but your story actually have to have a point, and each character on it need to have some relevance to what's going on.
While that is possible, there still needs to be some kind of story being told. You can have multiple characters be the MC, but they all have to contribute either to the main story as a whole, or their own personal story that has meaning to them. That way, the audience has something to attach their interest to, and thus feel for and enjoy. This....abomination doesn't even have a coherent enough main story to care about. In the words of Lyle McDouchebag "Every character is just some guy and nothing even matters."
What he (likely) did was he first got the number of seconds in an hour, divided it by 18 (the seconds spent travelling toward the satellite) then multiplied it by the distance. 60²=3,600 > 3,600/18=200 > 200*36,000=7,200,000
The way to look at this movie is every event is seen from a security camera or a third person. Definitely one of the more avant-garde anime movies. It would be third person limited, because the characters no more than the audience kind of like just one part of a Quentin Tarantino movie.
Oh wow you managed to make a 25 minute video on Darkside Blues. Making something from nothing there. I bought that stinker and watched it and just assumed it had to have been a mangled retelling or extended special episode with extra shit stuffed into it. Also thank the powers on high for frame by frame stepping.
I liked this movie (sub not dub). The animation was great. Does anyone know where you can get the manga in English? I think that might clean up the plot a bit.
I got the manga a month or so back. This movie is actually a straight forward adaptation of it, and believe it or not is better structured &cleans the plot up, telling it better than the manga.
I remember watching this on Stars-Action "Anime Saturdays". It was a trip when I saw it when was between 10-13. (in fact a large number of Anime you review I saw on that or that Sci-Fi Saturday morning Anime blocks) I even thought for real that you can just buy land from the U.N. cause of this Anime!
Yeah early animes were a mess for plots especially this one. Remember seeing this in early 2000's on Encore Action channel. Kinda liked it but knew something was missing.
I remember watching this movie years ago, and promptly forgetting it as I watched it. I thought it was but a fever dream I had, only to find the madness was real.

I love Darkside Blues. It's so random and bizarre. And bluesy. Yes, the storylines were seldom connected and the characters sometimes seemed as if they were spliced in from totally different animes, but, to me, it all blended in together and created a world and a mood and an idea that encompassed so much more than just the weight of each individual character and plot. It did away with the usual format and gave us something above and beyond and between. I loved it.

Maybe Drunkie is a representation of the directors mental state while making the movie.
That's the only way it could had been made the way it did.
Not alleged. He's openly admitted it.
I meant the heavy metal / langoliers/ possibly it and the one where weird space radiation makes everyone smart ps love the film adaptions of the green mile and the shining in case you think I'm a hater
Also cause the libel law works differently in the UK you insult somebody or they feel defamed you have to prove you didn't
In the states you can state something as opinion and only have somebody sue if untrue or malicious
I heard he drank during the seventies and did cocaine on RUclips but I got from comments on here and didn't want to defame a good writer with untrue or seemingly malicious comments
Just thought knowing the figure is tall and bespectacled like king and gaunt ( talk and thin) he could almost be a caricature like the character sage nicknamed Neil gaiman
I mean the character is remiscent of a carcature of Stephen king during that period
Oh, I see. You can also add Cujo to that. He's stated in interviews that he was really high on cocain when he wrote it, to the point that he's said, "It's tense as hell. I wish I could remember writing it."

I think this is the maddest I've seen Sage get . Lol
This is the Anime equivalent of Raver #1.
Think about THAT.
Joseph Mayes
In case if anyone was curious I was talking about Linkara's review of Raver #1. I'm sure that his fans would recognize this reference.
having watched it (I worked at a video store with a sizable anime section, back when video stores existed) it's more like the insane ramblings of the Ultimate Warrior comics.
Yah totally impulse purchased this a few years back. Just kinda got drunk and enjoyed the visuals. Had potential lol.
You mean a big liped alligator Moment
Yeah when I bought this on VHS (still got it) I was disappointed by the lack of any plot after watching it.

it's about time you got around to doing this one. first anime I ever watched that wasn't dubbed.
I remember this movie when I was a young lad getting into anime. I didn't it then but for some reason I can still watch it and say to myself okay.

Little tip, you can use the comma and period keys to play a video on RUclips frame by frame.
it took a few tries to freeze frame that instant moment, well played sage, well played
Was the meme "Big Lipped Aligator moment"?
Fun fact: this was once screened at a local anime club. I had to go to the loo towards the end…and came out to find it over.
6:45
Wait a minute, YOU DIDN'T CENSOR THAT SCENE!?
This is one of the few movies I caught on tv, and enjoyed.
i still enjoy the era amv on youtube. imagined my own story and all.
I remember this film back when I still have AZN channel...and I'm still confused to this day and just ride the ride.
I’ve thought a lot about the symbolism in Blade Runner. It’s a movie rich in visual artistry
THE BIG LIPPED ALLIGATOR MOMENT!
Why is the award for fucking physics named after leon?
I wouldn't say I like this anime, but I appreciate it for the art
the "i don't even" meme seems appropriate for this err "film"" >_>
What was the mathematical formula for how Sage figured out how fast the tin missile was going? I must know!
What he (likely) did was he first got the number of seconds in an hour, divided it by 18 (the seconds spent travelling toward the satellite) then multiplied it by the distance. 60²=3,600 > 3,600/18=200 > 200*36,000=7,200,000
What I want to know is how much of the city beneath that rocket was destroyed by its launch.

Oh wow you managed to make a 25 minute video on Darkside Blues. Making something from nothing there.
I bought that stinker and watched it and just assumed it had to have been a mangled retelling or extended special episode with extra shit stuffed into it.
Also thank the powers on high for frame by frame stepping.
Oh dear, Sage turned into the New Day there for a minute...
I liked this movie (sub not dub). The animation was great. Does anyone know where you can get the manga in English? I think that might clean up the plot a bit.
Amazon
I got the manga a month or so back. This movie is actually a straight forward adaptation of it, and believe it or not is better structured &cleans the plot up, telling it better than the manga.
I remember watching this on Stars-Action "Anime Saturdays". It was a trip when I saw it when was between 10-13. (in fact a large number of Anime you review I saw on that or that Sci-Fi Saturday morning Anime blocks) I even thought for real that you can just buy land from the U.N. cause of this Anime!
Yeah early animes were a mess for plots especially this one. Remember seeing this in early 2000's on Encore Action channel. Kinda liked it but knew something was missing.
Can this even be called a movie?
wut is this shit?
I saw this when I was a teen. To this day I still don''t understand it.
BIG LIPPED ALLIGATOR MOMENT LIVES ON!!!
I remember watching this movie years ago, and promptly forgetting it as I watched it. I thought it was but a fever dream I had, only to find the madness was real.
