Otaku Evolution Episode 67 – Yu Yu Hakusho: The Golden Seal

I thought I’d dip my toe into the waters of long-running shonen action titles again by taking on a small portion of Yu Yu Hakusho! The episode was originally a little bit longer, and you can probably tell where a few cuts were made, but I have a time limit on my videos now, and it would have looked really pathetic split up into two parts just over a few seconds of content. So here we go! Next time I have a mid-year episode, and I still haven’t even brainstormed ideas for that one. Sorry for falling behind! read more

Otaku Evolution Episode 65 – Mobile Suit Gundam II (Movie) (IN 2 PARTS)

 

So, about a month ago, I got a full-on copyright strike on my YouTube account for disputing a copyright flagging for a test video for a review I was planning to do on Riding Bean. The company that complained is called Molebeat, a Japanese company that deals with intellectual property. Despite my video being well under Fair Use law (#WTFU), I now have a strike that limits the length of videos I can upload onto YouTube, and thus my splitting this video into two parts. Attempts to contact this “Molebeat” company via e-mail have so far been in vain. I think that a company should have to have their own YT account before they can make copyright complaints, so the person being complained against can easily contact them. read more

Otaku Evolution Episode 64 – Black Magic M-66

Of all the Masumune Shirow adaptations I could pick, why did I choose Black Magic M-66? Because it’s short, it’s quirky, and it’s easy to review? Hm, yeah, probably. But also because I could actually monetize a video about it on YouTube. Be sure to contribute to my Patreon and maybe I’ll review stuff like Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex.

Otaku Evolution Episode 63 – Yukikaze

It’s a much-delayed new episode of Otaku Evolution, starring myself, guest-starring Pen Pen, and special thanks to… I dunno, you maybe, if you contribute to my Patreon!  I take a look at strangely decently-CGed air battle-featured Sentō Yōsei Yukikaze, a five-part OVA that features some of the best aircraft in anime! Enjoy, rate, share, subscribe, etc.

Otaku Evolution Episode 61 – Crusher Joe

What happens when you get the incomparable talent of Yoshikazu Yasuhiko to adapt the characters of the hit sci-fi books of Haruka Takachiho? You get the Crusher Joe movie, full of high-flying, danger warping, gun hand firing, disco brawling action from a crew of professional… uh… odd job takers? How does one describe the work of the Crushers? Varied.

Otaku Evolution Episode 57 – The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya


Otaku Evolution Episode 57 – The Disappearance… by elliott-morbell

My second annual Christmas offering is my longest episode yet, covering the Haruhi movie, and featuring a special holiday advertisment for Red Ribbon Beer and an AMV. Join me, will you, as I look at this sizable anime film that takes main protagonist Kyon both to a parallel reality and back in time to prevent it from ocurring! It’s the only other anime Christmas-related anime I could thing of (other than Sailor Moon S: The Movie and the undubbed Tokyo Godfathers), and being a movie I enjoy, and with the fact I reviewed both seasons of the show this year, I thought, yeah, sure, let’s do this! So pour yourself a cup of eggnog (or two, or nine), stir it with a candy cane, and park yourself and a laptop in front of a roaring fire (preferably in a fireplace) to watch the penultimate episode of this season of Otaku Evolution! read more
