Absolutely love the manga. I suggest reading beyond. There’s some awesome chapters near the end and the middle . There’s an entire chapter with ichi meeting a woman in the rain. There’s also another one of my favorite chapters where ichi duels someone on a beach.
I'm sorry to hear about your brother. I really relate with what you said about depending on storytelling to get any sort of positive feelings. My father passed away this January and I've been looking after him for like a year before that, so watching anime and old asian movies has been my only real escape. I'm glad that you were passionate enough about sabu to Ichi to post a video on it and as I said in the past I really enjoy these unscripted videos. I look forward to your next post. I'm also looking into purchasing one of your designs in your etsy shop and I hope to do that as soon as I can afford to.
I’m sorry for you loss, you’re a good son to be there for him in those difficult times, even if they weren’t easy. Also thats great you got into old Asian movies. Any in particular?
@@bobsamurai Thanks for the kind words bob. I've been running through Tatsuya Nakadai's filmography and I'm looking at starting The Human Condition trilogy. I've also been exploring a few of the so called sixth generation films from China. I'd recommend you give Suzhou River a watch if you ever get the chance.
@@lastlife7348 oh yea i've been wanting to watch those, I've been watching movies from that era too but no titles come to mind at the moment. thanks for the recommendation
Great to see you Bob,your recommendations are always fantastic. Thank you for introducing me to Legend of the Galactic Heroes and I will definitely check out Sabu.
Everytime I watch a showa anime it's impossible to not notice something animated by Keiichiro Kimura. This man elevated singlehandely the quality of multiple series. Great work as usual.
Correction on the opening of this video. This actually is listed as Toei and Mushi on various sites. not sure what's up with that, but the sentiment still stands regarding the nature of Mushi on average during the 1960s
Great video as always and so happy to see you back! (echoing the chorus below) You never miss with your topics for me they are always interesting and new and your takes are always earnest, thought-through and well-spoken. This show looks awesome!
Good to have you back I completed magazine z and great mazinger last year when i was watching kamen rider as i also watched grandizer this year for the new anime coming out
Sorry to hear about your brother. Glad to see you back always appreicate your videos. Mazinger Z was enjoyable dated now but I enjoyed it. How about a cutie Honey review eventually?
I recently watched the first few episodes of Sabu and Ichi and though it was solid, but I stopped because the incompleteness bummed me out. Though it does look like the manga is fully translated so I might check that out instead.
Sabu no ichi is the best anime from the 60s I’m seen (not my favourite is primasses knight) I’m love all the episodes of it but most of the best ep is in the beginning and the not memorable ep is in the end of the series but still is great series And I’m haw seen the pilot and is super cartooning and best of the first chapter of the mangan
Does the anime adapt the same stories as the manga or are they original ones. And should a read the manga first or like you watch the anime first? Thanks
Sorry for the late reply Bob. Rest in peace to your brother 🙏😔 Idk how old he was but I assume somewhere near your age, so way too young to go. It's still fresh but if you already don't, maybe get something in the future to always remember him by. It's been almost 11 years since I lost a loved one and sometimes it almost seems like a dream. Did she really even exist? Was any of it real? But maybe that's also because I'm 34 (35 at the end of this month) and the world has vastly changed in the last 10-20 years. I'm gonna finally buy a custom wristband on Amazon to wear so I can always have a reminder of her (my mom) with me. And to finally make her proud, pathetic that I haven't at my age but it's my own fault. I just hope there's still time. Lastly, I DEFINITELY feel you to using movies, anime etc to feel positive emotions. Maybe it's the 90s kid in me that had a great childhood and was forever impacted by the words of Sailor Moon and Digimon characters giving me positive life messages. Glad I grew up on that and not RUclipsrs and Tiktokers. But honestly I've always felt different and been watching alot of X-Men content on RUclips lately to make me feel better. Love those movies. Anyways that was super long. Feel better Bob!
Thanks, the bracelet is certainly sentimental and also an effective reminder, but our thoughts are more powerful over time, so it's not like you went without thinking of her. And yea so much has changed, feels like another world lol.
@@bobsamurai Definitely. I just need a visual reminder in my current phase of life. Anyways, stay tough Bob. And speaking of anime, I'm about to travel back to 2003 and watch Witch Hunter Robin. Until next time 🤝
"People bash anime if they include live action". That's kind of funny because Evangelion fans lose their minds over the live action footage in EoE, personally I just found it pretentious much like the movie itself. I would watch this show in a heartbeat but the incomplete translatation is what holds me off from it, I would watch the first 32 episodes but it seems like I'm getting a 65% of the story if I did that, and well, it wouldn't make me feel right saying I finished watching it on MAL even though I'm techically lying. It's kind of like saying you watched all the episodes of a lot of pre 10s fighting shonen anime when that isn't true and I mainly watched the canon stuff but MAL will think you watched ALL the episodes. MAL can be a little unhealthy at times. And YEAH, I feel you dude, if I'm not watching anime, shows, movies, playing games, listening to music or even reading comics, I just get annoyed really easily. Anything that is not me doing any of those things tends to get on my nerves, it's not a good trait to have but playing video games especially is the only thing that makes me happy. There's conventions too but those happen rarely. Outside of all that if I'm not doing any of that stuff, I'll just get agitated.

bob can I just say I love the Aesthetic of u and ur channel, it feels very "old internet" in a good way
Thanks, I am a vestige of old internet though so that’s probably why 🤣
Great to see you Bob,your recommendations are always fantastic. Thank you for introducing me to Legend of the Galactic Heroes and I will definitely check out Sabu.
Glad you're back 👍😎

Wow 4th months my boy! Can’t wait to watch this when I get home
It's also been a month since you uploaded. Looking forward to your next one.

glad to have you back man you are the king of finding hidden gems
Long hair bob is back
Oh Yeah 😎
i feel like the honesty you get from this channel is very hard to find on youtube
Im so sorry for you loss 😢💖
Great video as always and so happy to see you back! (echoing the chorus below) You never miss with your topics for me they are always interesting and new and your takes are always earnest, thought-through and well-spoken. This show looks awesome!
sorry for your brother pass we here for you
Good to have you back
I completed magazine z and great mazinger last year when i was watching kamen rider as i also watched grandizer this year for the new anime coming out
Glad seeing you back
Thanks for the recomendation . Looks like my jam
The worst thing about older anime and manga is the lack of translations
So happy to see you back man! You’re one of the reasons I started Game Junction & RUclips!
Cool collection in the back!
Heard about Sabu to Ichi but never knew anything about it. Thank you for the insightful review.
Ichi looks somewhat similar to Biwamaru, the blind swordsman from Dororo.
Im gonna start watching 1960s anime soon!
Sorry to hear about your brother. Glad to see you back always appreicate your videos. Mazinger Z was enjoyable dated now but I enjoyed it. How about a cutie Honey review eventually?
Glad you are back bob!! Hope you are doing better
Thanks for always giving us videos bro
Keep on rockin ,Dude!!!
Happy to see you again! Nice video as always
the goat
Look at the thumbnail. Then the latest few chapters of one piece..... the bald dude looks like one of the elders
i hear a recent OP character is also based on Zatoichi
I recently watched the first few episodes of Sabu and Ichi and though it was solid, but I stopped because the incompleteness bummed me out.
Though it does look like the manga is fully translated so I might check that out instead.
It's weird to see you bob with long hair again I remember you where wearing a suit and had short hair
Damn bruh that’s a tough one
Oh mai GAY’od is that BAB SAM-YOU-RAY-EYE⁉️🤯

they appear to be different, and it doesn't matter what you start first
@@bobsamurai thank you
