What bet did you lose bro?
@@StoneGiantJake none, why would I need to of
@@Stevem sexy maid costume?
@@StoneGiantJake i always wear that
@@Stevem I see. 👌 I'll sub to that.
I can say with complete confidence that nobody was prepared for the catmaid cosplay
go hard or go home
Or the berserk commercial
@@YoIsthatJuiceboxSupreme full of surprises
I really enjoyed this "never let them know your next move" video from Stevem.
The Art of War
What a great video, I never expected anyone to talk about Di Gi Charat in 2023. I wish there were more videos like this in the anime youtube sphere.
well if by some magic it did well maybe i would try it again
DigiCharat is amazing.
@@Demanufactur3r trueeeee
I want people to talk about Chobits and Ah! My Goddess again
@@amelon1803 chobits is hype
One of the peak moments of Di Gi Charat as a franchise was when Dejiko blew up Gema in Las Vegas
hell yes
Di Gi Charat is one of my favorite bizarre anime franchises, and you touch on so many of the things I couldn't find anything about back when the books were originally published in the US. I'm suddenly reinvigorated to use my adult money and Internet access to find the items I was never able to, like DGC Fantasy. Very fun video, definitely gonna check out your other videos!
thank you!
this was such a blast from the past my dude i used to be obsessed with digicharat when I was 11 and i found a video of me singing party night in japanese when i was 11 so i guess shit doesnt change
keep making videos for yourself! i love how you cover sort of niche things and this (and galaxy angel i guess) scratched a certain itch for me and maybe ill go back and rewatch the series
the new series is great
The algorithm really killed this one. I didnt even know a new vid had come out 😭amazing video!
thank you for watching anyway!
unfortunately that happens sometime on obscure subjects
When there is a new STEVEM video, everything else stops mattering for however long it takes.
thank you!!!
This video felt like a fever dream
Puchiko was my favorite
Di gi charat fever
The video is doing well but i expected as much, so any likes, share and comments are most appreciated!
Oh nice that youtube is finally recommending me Digi Charat videos, lol. Thanks for this retrospective, learned some new things. I'm actually about to work on renewing the Digi Charat subreddit to see if fans can have a little hub here in the western world. Definetly gonna be linking your video when i get to it.
Wow, I've been wondering where these character designs were from for years now. Great video and you definitely had a lot of fun :)
Glad you enjoyed!
YES. PLEASE. LET DI GI CHARAT RISE ONCE AGAIN IN THE WEST IM BEGGING YOU also great video as always
Yes please! More di gi I want to will it !!!!
I LOVE YOU IN THAT FIT
So cute, I especially like the bells that jingle every now and then
thank you hahah, nightmare on the editing there was a bell on my collar so you can hear it pretty clear since it was next to the mic
I totally forgot that Di Gi Charat was still around as of 2022. Anime revivals these days are wild.
new series is really good!
Saw it on Patreon but watching again because it’s just that good. Also, respectfully, you look so kawaii my dude.
Thank you for the double watch I'm glad you like the outfit!
I've seen your two NGE/Anno vids months ago, but I was re-watching one of them tonight. I then noticed this video. So it's pretty funny catching this, pretty recently.
I saw most of the traditional cel series (main, summer/Xmas, etc) many years ago and had lots of fun with them. It's hard to describe why. It manages to balance the wackiness without it feeling too annoying or exhausting.
Also, it's nice seeing the GBA music playing in the BG. I was listening to the OST while riding my electric bike around my local rural forest/farm area. Specifically sight-seeing in different neighborhoods. God I love the OST. Especially the main track that plays during store section.
its a reall banger ost !
This was Really well done.. great job. I'd love to see more anime vids like this on youtube. More anime that the general anime watcher doesnt know alot about..
it's always a difficult one to do if you have no idea if anyone would even watch it
There are few things as gratifying as knowing the quantum of information went to a wholly superfluous segment, utterly unrelated to the rest of the video. Delightful!
Yeah I spent way to long on every bit of that sequence lol
Thanks for another great video
Thank you chunkssss!!!
lol I was lucky enough to catch the Reiwa episodes and the reruns of the original series on their official channel as soon as they came out
I saw a couple but the no subs was a stings condering on shows have on yt have came with them say one
Same here! Though in my case it wasn't luck but sheer determination haha... I also caught the d4dj show that contained the reiwa episodes (because i'm... also a d4dj fan)
hope you make a deepdive into the author of ranking of kings one day. seems like an interesting story to tell. love your videos btw!
thank you!
oh, you had fun with this one and we love to see it
sometimes ahahah, making it sure the editing was hell
I'm really into your aesthetic sense. As usual a successful video. Thank you for that.
thank you fr watching!!!
steve looking mad cute in this fit
really loved the style on this one
i'm might try ore stuff-like this if i can get ontop of it
you are the video essayist of all time....
I found you from your Hideaki Anno video and I feel like you're one of the few channels that really goes into otaku stuff in a way that I haven't seen on youtube. It makes me really excited. I can't wait to see what else you make because you just keep delving into kinda sorta (i guess depending on the circle?) niche little topics that I feel like not many people talk about lol
we'll see I might if i can do them quick on the side of bigger projects and they interest me
This is awesome I love this video
A new video. Sweet!
Hope you enjoyed it!
@@Stevem thanks king
Good fun vid😊👍
Glad you enjoyed it
Love this stuff man, no idea they did live gigs. I hope to one day see this sort of dive in Jashin-chan Drop Kick, and now I want to rewatch Genshiken.
yeah when i found out i thought it was hype
Great vid Steve, it's not doing well but without creators like you we'd end up with only masses-catering slop. Thank you.
It's a video I wanted to make so it is what it is, I wish it could have been completed quicker but live and learn I'll see if I can do that this time
Man I was obsessed with this weird little series back in middle school, got me right in the nostalgia XD I loved the anime gag series, and the weird little fantasy AU totally captured my imagination
It's easy to become obsessed with this series haha
I'm glad you decided STEVEM
Haha
Also man the moment I saw that red BG at 12:53 I just KNEW you were gonna do an eva bit
Lol great minds
Stevem is Active these days 💪👍🥳
a little
this video is just too good
thank you !
yooo the drip is insane
thank you hayden
Thank you for the unexpected lofi Berserk tribute
PARTY☆NIGHT will echo in the halls as my last flutter of life passes by.
Letssss goooooooo
I loved this series when I was a kid! I still do!
It's great 😊
Oh shit how did I miss this video?! Di Gi Charat is a hidden gem
very much so
Yes someone is talking about di gi charat
i luv this anime and this opening, 90s animes was rly cute
di gi charat is really cute as so is koge donbe's work
As one of those huge fans of Di Gi Charat (And a enjoyer of Garfield so whatever i guess) This is a great video on Di Gi Charat as a series i have been waiting on a video like this even had thoughts of making one myself, There was some points i would have wished to be talked about more like how Di Gi Charat Fantasy was actually the first attempt to break out the series to be multimedia and maybe a bit on more of the cameos like Dejiko appearing in the fucking Power Stone anime of all things but all around this video is great and i hope to see more like it!
(Also mixed on the whole Dejiko is Japanese Garfield thing lol)
9.5/10
I'm not sure if fantasy had any significance there or not I didn't see any sources on it so I wouldn't speculate
Finding the cameos is a bit messy because most aren't labeled so I had to Brute force it through each serues, I think dejiko as Garfield is a good comparison in terms of franchising and maybe seo but I don't take it particularly seriously
@@Stevem Why i'm mixed with it is that i would say even Doraemon would be much closer to a “Japanese Garfield” at that she may be an icon but she is more of a mascot character with a multimedia franchise unlike how Garfield is, Garfield was made to make millions but we all know him as just a comic strip character most of the time even her first appearance in a 4koma i would say her anime series took it into high gear even Broccoli Books said but i agree with the marketing point but it can be said for Mario and Mickey Mouse Also with opposites may go there is a mascot character for another japanese store which is the complete opposite of Dejiko being a badass shonen protag with a cast of characters and even had a crossover with Dejiko in the second Di Gi Charat Drama CD due to them actually being owned by the same guys
@@thebulbmin-CD the problem with the assertion Garfield is known as a comic strip character is I don't think that's true for how most younger people know the character, my nephew who is 8 knows who Garfield is but has no idea of the comic when I was younger I never read the Garfield strips, I knew him exclusively from the Garfield and friends show and merch.
And doremon has the popularity but it is not an advertisement tool first(it was also created before media mix became the central idea in japanese franchising), either way it's more so a silly title because di gi charat has so little pull on RUclips
Anyway I'm glad you liked the video I hope more people see it and want to experience the franchise, do you know the episode that dejiko is in the power stone anime I'd like to check it out
@@Stevem Episode 16
I am kind of new to the franchise, found some dvds of the original and some of the specials to watch, and think I probably would have been obsessed with it had I discovered it back in the mid 2000s.
i wouldnt blame anyone because it has a really specific vibe
nice hazel refrence with the video title :3
not anymore ahahah titles having been working much so ive been switching in and out
My mom owns a ton of animation cels from this franchise, I wonder if they're worth anything now
maybe a little to collectors
Woah!! Can you show me?
i knew my garfield and dejiko obsession was related !!
I grew up with anime from wonky subbed bootleg DVDs. But Digi Charat felt very unique and introduced to peek moe style appeal that I grew to love! I’m sure I got the original set of episodes and it’s summer suffering sequel. Able to see the movie on another bootleg DVD, and the concert (both anime and IRL) are on these discs.
It’s a fun surreal experience that I think is why today I enjoy the finer, smaller bits of moe pop culture, especially VTubers...
Digi Charat did go through other places: One as a mecha vehicle on the final episode of Pastel Memories, and a huge in-game cameo with the OG songs on D4DJ, on all servers likely.
Didn’t know Digiko shifted over time but I’m glad the anniversary gave her love... Even though now the anime episodes are cleaned off. I guess they want to make this idol princess cat maid special?
Would be funny if I repeat the cycle and find a bootleg DVD set of the new anime for nostalgia, and the fact it’s non-accessible now and never (EN) subbed.
Nyo~
It would be hilarious if there was a bootleg for the new series id get it haha
I have Di Gi Charat Fantasy and the browser on Dreamcast, as well as several plushies of the girls. Got them from anime cons in the early 00s.
respect
criminally underviewed video
every comment helps thank you!
3:52 I've never seen these animated Gamers commercials before! So these were made in 1998 before the TV series. Neat!
I got to know the series way back in 2001 and I have no idea how I got on this random Digi Charat nostalgia trip, but it looks like I'm right in time before the 25h anniversary.
Synch Point... The company that did dubbed FLCL was created for the purpose of dubbing Di Gi Charat.
I guess any works broccoli had the license to do
MOM! There’s a new STEVEM video! 🗣️
Thanks for watching!
such a fun fucking video
glad you had fun with it
Yeah though editing was a pain though lessons learned
Oh, the commitment 🤣
You have to
If you love Japan Culture and Animes, So I'm sure that you will like my Japanese Lo-fi and Trap Instrumentals! 😎
Wow, no kidding it’s out. Congrats for the new video. As much as it is entertaining I guess the knowledge value is worth as much if not more. Otaku content is always elusive even though there’s a lot to learn from this subculture. Looking at it now it really does seem like something an AI creates way before AI. Everything is textbook. Like big eyes relative to faces. All the “Moe” traits is basically all the features said in the biology makes us want to take care of our children. Do they used green because human eyes see green better than any other spectrum? What if an actual AI designed a character? At what point a design is too much? Or Dejiko is truly “the peak”…
Well her hair wasn't green at first that was changed And donbo thinks the reason is because the companies called 🥦 broccoli, but yeah I did want to point out that the way the characters look is generally how she designed her doujins before that point too that was her style
@@Stevem I see. That’s a, much simpler explanation than I thought lol
i watched this video without looking at the channel so i thought you wore the catmaid outfit in every video
nope this is a special video im afraid but who knows where the future could go
We need more "STEVEM's Berserk 2000" stuff, and when I say we i mean the world!
Lol
party night is a goated song
true!!!!!!
at 8:13 that background reminds me of a different anime. an old guy was speeding through an alley with a flying motorcycle. it's somewhere from between 1980 to 2005 maybe. my guess is robot carnival. all I remember that he was being chased. it was a cartoony scene.
little too vague for me to tell you if im honest haha
Media and creativity are failing me, and this is exactly what I needed after waking up at 2 am. Excellent.
i love how somehow there being evangelion refrences like makes sense.
Of course haha
thx for video i didnot know di gi chara was pretty established franchise
Very much so
finally I have the context for those Dreamcast / PS2 games with an Atelier fairy on the cover
12:01 ren and stimpy sound effect!
Not gonna lie. That EVA ending at the end of this video had me rolling
Lol good
One of the characters, the guy with dark hair, glasses, and a wide collar looks exactly like Pyro from Mega Tokyo, actually the whole thing has a very Mega Tokyo feel, and I guess it probably served as inspiration for Mega Tokyo a bit…
it wouldnt be surprising if so considering the time that came out
the costume is fire man
Thank you !
4:44 i was waiting for this ahah what a show,
u had good gamer insight lol
13:00 when the nyu~ kicks in
28:50 Dejiko literally lost her home in the '08 Market (ironic as that's what the show is ultimately all about....)
i remeber watching this and mahoromantic in the same 'week of maids', great times tbh and genuinely funny/cute.
Funny way to think a out it but housing seems to play quite the roll in di gi charat haha
i can't believe you manifested Reiwa Di Gi Charat. japanese garfield truly is peak anime.
now i need to manifest a wider release lol
I remember watching Digi Charat Nyo and Galaxy Angel on Amimax back in the day
One thing I'll say about nyo is that opening is a straight banger
@@Stevem Yeah, and the Galaxy Angel anime is pretty much if the good episodes of Nyo were the whole series
This man is dissociating
tru
"As a man with Irish blood" says the man dressed as a catmaid while reviewing obscure saturday morning anime mascot cartoons. 10/10 subscribed.
I stand by my principles haha
My God, such a good video, well done son. I'm so proud of you. I could easily see you doing a PhD in history of anime with all the knowledge you have accumulated over the years. This is the first channel I click on this ringing bell above. Sending love from Greece.
thank you haahah i dont know if there much in it for me to have a phd in it although teaching a class isnt such a bad idea its basically this but powerpoint lol
@@Stevem Since you are good are writing, that could be a good read too! Teaching is also a very generous approach to it, no powerpoint needed (my god I hate it). Plain old good slide show with the disolve system, as we were taught in my old uni days could make a good hipster approach for your unconventional free spirit.
@@Gotholia im not much of a writer, well whatever the program a slide show is a slide show i think when talking about animation visual examples are kinda paramount
Every japanese fighting game has a color scheme alt for characters that is HER colors.
lol very nice
incredible content we’re eating good
glad you enjoyed
At first, by the title of the video, I thought this video was going to be about 'What's Michael?'. I still liked the video anyway, although I don't see the comparison to Garfield, other than she has cat features.
It's a comparison in both business approach and franchising and yes theyre both cats that started out in comic strips, also that they both can't seem to die
Usada is cuuuuuuuuuute!
!!!!!!!!!!!!
tru
The second I saw Digiko onscreen I immediately knew you were gonna start referencing Hiroki Azuma.
maybe not the exact way i did though ahaha
Nice costume
wanted to look the part
Well i know what to watch now
LETS GOOOO
Puchiko... I mean broccoli in neptunia is gold.
Yes broccoli before the other broccoli
KOGE-DONBO* I LOOOOOOVE YOOOUUUUUU ❤❤❤
very based
I was really hoping if this new DiGi Charat series got successful we could get some new Galaxy Angel stuff to look forward to, with Mint Blancmanche being the V-Tuber, but I feel like I'm gonna be left hanging forever....
I really wish Broccoli could put some of their stuff on Steam...
Yeah after losing the American side of the business in the late 00s it's hard to say although some newer games they've made have been translated
@@Stevem Having read all 3 novels on PC and seeing the PS2 versions with their updates frustrates me. It's a series that I've wanted to analyze in detail but could never find the right people to read it and criticize it with. It warms me to know that Kanan continues to draw the characters with love on her Twitter account.
It does make me wonder how the dating sims will be recieved in this day and age considering what most Twitter drama related to anime tends to be about. I will not stand for the slander of Tact Mayers.
@@ShouAmaterasu dating sims still get released all the time on steam ahahaha i doubt anyone would care, although i could really care what randos on twitter think on the topic
dejiko
frfr
This video's intro is definitely an intro.
not sure what that means but thanks for watching
@@Stevem being only familiar with your other work on EVA stuff, starting this video and seeing you in that outfit was a bit of a surprise.
Great video, DigiCharat deserves more attention!
@@Demanufactur3r it's all about the aesthetic grab ahah
You should review Magical Witch Punie chan.
never seen it
Algorithmic punch
Dejiko hates mondays
maybeee
what those gloves do tho
They're for washing up I hear you put them inside if your sensitive to latex
OMG!
:)
dope, anybody ever think her hat thing resembles finns from adventure time
Huh I never thought about i guess could be an influence who knows
Cats do be mascot materials because they have 9 lives.
they better watch out for death though
DEJIKO GANG
Let's goooooo
Japanese Garfield? What about "Ore Tsushima?"
Ore Tsushima is great but is far far farrr too earnest to ever be a garfield esc show neither does it have the franchising power
The problem with mascot shows is that mascots will live for as long as companies need them. So the mascots will overstay anyone's creative vision for a story (if there IS a story). You will start getting pure product, there will be 0 art left.
di gi charat seems the opposite really, which is why i found it interesting
@@Stevem Exceptions to most rules do indeed exist.
