Just a note: "Whoria" is actually "Horie", which is a relatively common Japanese last name. Actually, I believe she's specifically voiced by Yui Horie in the Japanese dub.
“For instance, a large majority of the Asian population do not consume dairy.” And then on the complete flipside of that, you’ve got Mongolia and their population snacking on aaruul and eezgii even to this day. Hell, they can even make liquor and beer out of dairy. I dunno if I had a point to this, but there you go.
Actually, the tortoise and the hare story makes a lot of sense here. Both the sister and the hare were arrogant enough to willingly sabotage their own success, thinking they'd win regardless, while the brother and the tortoise just kept on going and doing what they did best. It's probably a bit of a stretch, but it makes sense.
@@JazzStation95 She explains in the movie that while she wants to destroy all human, she also wants to find someone worthy to fight. she's so good at it, it's boring for her. So it does make sense that she'd sabotage herself to have a more challenging fight.
Pity this didn't make it further into the Kakugo No Susume storyline, where, while the series never STOPS being insane, it shifts more from "shock the viewer constantly" into "focus on developing these characters and the central mythos of this setting".
The art style is kinda reminiscent of Osamu Tezuka. ...on drugs. And fever. And seen thru a deformed glass. And on LSD. And probably a zombie Tezuka drawing it.
more like Tezuka and Ishinamori were drawing with Hirohiko Araki, Yasuhiro Nightow and Hideaki Anno when suddenly Go Nagai showed up with an 8 ball, a sheet of acid, a bag of Molly and Power Rangers season 1 on VHS and at some point Someone called Chiaki J Konaka who showed up with everclear thc tincture and some dank ass weed.. & No I don't mean Super Sentai. I mean Mighty Morphin Power Rangers on VHS.
Fun fact: Apocalypse Zero was a finalist in the inaugural 1997 Osamu Tezuka Cultural Prize, a yearly award ceremony thing that honours manga and artists that “exemplify the spirit of Osamu Tezuka” which is a fancy way of saying ‘work that is really good’, along with other categories for artwork and cultural impact. Series like Vagabond, Demon Slayer, Monster and Fullmetal Alchemist have all won awards. And Apocalypse Zero was a finalist in the FIRST ever one. It was only beaten by Doreamon which is so absurdly big and beloved that it was basically guaranteed to win anyway. But still, wow.
Well, I ordered Apocalypse Zero today, mostly because this review. I NEED it in my collection. Something this insane and ballsy must be owned and watched in it's entirety.
"Hell, _you_ probably wouldn't touch the stuff if you realized that cheese was basically spoiled milk laced with stomach enzymes." *laughs in mozzarella*
I know I've said this before, but I'll say it again. As batshit, stupid, and generally insane this Anime is, I can't help but love the MC of this. He fights rock bears with acid blood with his bear hands and doesn't flinch when he gets scares. Has badass armor. Tries to solve fights without killing the enemy at first, but isn't too much of a pansy to shy away from it if it's the only solution. And instead of being Distracted by the Sexy like so many other Anime Protags, he just bitch slaps the person who tries it on him. This dude is badass!
He's a pretty good loving pastiche of Showa era Kamen Rider main heroes: loving and caring outside the suit, ready to straight up delete a monster if you threaten humanity, or god forbid loved ones inside the suit.
This was based on a manga, that's where the throw away henchmen that show up and are then forgotten came from. The art style is also based on the manga's.
I'll be honest, there's something...Inspiring about Apocalypse Zero. Say what you will about it, but you can't deny how utterly unique it is. It is, if nothing else, ridiculously creative. As an artist, I find that admirable, and it's even sparked a few ideas of my own. Personally, I like the art style and the off-brand-post-apocalyptic-Kamen-Rider hero. So, truth be told, I actually kinda like the film, disturbing demon tits and all. It's also the only place I can hear Mona Marshall saying "That old man's dick is useless." C'mon, you won't find pure gold like that anywhere else.
@@cheesesteak2795 the manga art is even better, this channels opinion on EVERY controversial anime is WRONG. thank god theres companies in the west that care and are releasing stuff like angel cop, violence jack on blu ray
yeah. A film can be as shit as possible, but if it's a grown adult producing something really mad or creative, then it is just as enjoyable as a good product, to me. EmpLemon has a good video on adults who retain creativity and use it well. I think this is a good example of that.
Apocalypse Zero is great - some creative character designs, it doesn't take itself too seriously, and has many wtf moments. The OAV clearly wasn't intended to be a single release, so complaints about piecemeal plot are a bit inapposite. Certainly worth a watch.
Also, the reason why you never see any of the people the movie name-drops is because this was 2 episodes of a planned 10 episode series. The rest of the series was canceled before any of the other elements of the story could be introduced.
Pppht. You shoulda seen that one action figure Square made of Batman. SO MANY SPIIIIKES. Seriously, much as I know square, they got a bad habit nowadays to start designing things and then... not stopping.
Sage. Bro. I know this anime may have melted your brain by this point, but by 25:45 there's no reason that your common sense would have bailed on that. The reason that Headdad is mentioning the whole Tortoise and the Hare thing is meant to be a hint to victory. More rigor sets into the body, the easier the fight will be, so if he delays he just basically has to punch a statue. The thing that's confusing ME about this scene is the Tortoise and the Hare is more of a western thing. Admittedly it's a rather common fable of Aesop's, but I would have figured they'd have used a japanese analogy of similar message for this.
Thank god: it's the weekend, and I just lost my job. I'm not gonna be sleeping for a few days just seeing what I've seen. Excuse me while I take a nice hot shower and then find the most disgustingly cute character I can to burn into my retinas.
1:50 Nowadays, citric acid and alikes are mainly used. ... And it's not actually spoiled milk, since cheese isn't technically milk, since the milk fat and most of the proteins have been separated from the whey (the liquid). And when a cheese is aged, it's to allow certain chemicals to add flavor.
If there is something positive that can be taken from "Kakugo no Susume" is that Zero inspired Jin Saotome. The one Capcom character that deserved to appear in more crossovers than just Marvel vs Capcom 1&2. And also, Tsumiko Horie is named after and played by singer Mitsuko Horie, who usually performed intro songs for *tons* of mecha anime back in the day (70s-80s). Horie's singing segment in this OVA sounds beautiful in the Japanese version, by the way.
I got done reading the entire manga and, once it cuts it out with the psycho-sexual stuff, it actually gets really good halfway through. Still ultraviolent and gruesome but it has a lot of Hokuto No Ken to it where it's ultimately a story of hope. Now it's nowhere close to as good as HNK but it ends up a pretty good read all up especially once you get past the first two volumes where this OVA is mostly made up of.
You know thats interesting, the sage said at the end that the Story about the rabbit and the turtle is totally pointless, but weiredly enough thats probably the very same story they are telling in thia anime. Look, in the fairytale the rabbit is so overly confident in his victory over the turtle that he willingly sabotaged his race by taking a nap. The "siter" here is supossed to be so strong that she could flatten her brother in seconds but she decided not to but instead reduces her chances to win up to the point where she looses, just like the rabbit. Sounds strange but after this review i clearly see this connection.
I'd have been interested to see you review this after either reading the entire manga or the Wikipedia article talking about the manga and the anime. When this was made, the creators thought they were gonna get budgeted for 10 episodes but unfortunately the project got shelved after only 2. That's why there are so many seemingly unnecessary characters that don't have anything to do with the plot because they come up much later in the storyline. Sadly, this anime suffers from the same fate that a lot of anime in the 90's did because of the recession in Japan. There just simply wasn't enough money to finish a lot of these projects so they ended up incomplete and were abandoned.
Note that the scene where he's using 'sleeping gas'? That ain't sleeping gas. He's using chemical weaponry - i.e. sarin gas. In the manga, he uses it to wipe out an entire army of demons.
I was more surprised about the fact that this was not only based on a manga but the manga itself got a reboot by the same artist and took on a more serious tone without the completely insane bullshit. Makes me wonder what happend in between development of the concept...
My favorite thing about this episode has to be the use of a cover of Funimation's "SSJ3 Goku Power Up" from Dragonball Z over CensorKaiser's rebirth. You can barely hear it until he starts shouting, but damn is it a treat for someone like me =)
"If you knew how cheese was made, you'd probably never touch the stuff." Ohoho, no, Sage. I've eaten haggis and blood sausage. I've gutted salmon and butchered pigs. I know perfectly well how my food is made, and it don't bother me one whit. Cheese? Cheese's process of coming into being is a relief to hear about compared to other kinds of food.
That was the best pimp hand smack I’ve ever seen in my entire life. Literally fell off the side of my bed on to the floor. Like seriously. Am kinda sideways upside down rn. But Seriously. Don’t hit girls 👧
I feel like now that I understand Bennett was characterizing himself as an overly cringy critic who focuses too hard on the negatives (him being inspired by the rest of channel awesome), I can appreciate his work on a deeper level.
It was the style at the time. A style some of us miss and enjoy. I mean his new stuff is good and it's nice to get a actual review of the series but sometimes i miss the riff views where they do review the stuff but make jokes about it too. I get why he doesn't want to do them anymore they can be exhausting to make just it would be nice to have him do these riffview style once in awhile for fun while also going deep with the creation of the series.
I watched this review several times now, but yesterday I decided that I'd watch the OVA for the first time. Aaaand...It's kinda fun. Some things are obviously better explained when you get the full context, others get even weirder. (Like how he bonds with his armor for the first time, making friends with it by warming it with his naked body while locked in some kind of walk-in freezer by his dad) It's just two movies a 40 min, so I'd reccomend giving it a watch. You can actually find the un-censorkaiser'd version on youtube.
My brother bought this anime back when I was younger without knowing what it was. He was disgusted by it and handed to me. Once I watched it I gave it to a friend and told him to give it away after he was done with it. The cycle continues...
That's like Tokyo Gore Police mixed with the character design of Eiichiro Oda and Akira Toriyama playing mahjong with delusions with the style dozens of times of Excel Saga and the Vagineer riding the wild wacky action bike.
No; I was watching on my tablet and I accidentally hit the "reply" button. It wouldn't go away until I typed something, so I just pressed the space key.
This UA-cam video is the single greatest example of how American censorship that allows no limitation on violence for all audiences, but if you show a nipple the UA-cam FBI teleports behind you and cracks their knuckles.
I recently got done watching the entire first half of Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex, and that show's not nearly as bat shit insane as Apocalypse Zero is. I love that in Ghost in the Shell, you get the tinge of sitting down and thinking to yourself about the theme of a given episode, this... Is pure insanity at it's best. Not even a anime like anything on Crunchyroll is like this at all..
These were REALLY weird choices to make. Like, in the original comic, everything got fucked specifically because of humans starting nuclear war which caused the earthquakes, and the demons were actually right in the fact humanity is 100% responsible for all the horrible shit happening. And the main villain DIDN'T die at this point, in fact, at the end of the story, she and the main character have a truce, and she decides to make the world better and accept that humanity's too damn hard to wipe out to be worth the effort, and that'd it be better to just let them be as long as they don't do the whole ruining the planet thing again.
Just a note: "Whoria" is actually "Horie", which is a relatively common Japanese last name. Actually, I believe she's specifically voiced by Yui Horie in the Japanese dub.
Now let's all agree to never fight creatively again.
***** Go watch "Don't Hug Me, I'm Scared" and you'll get the reference

Julia Kropp Thanks
The creators of this show clearly need to ask themselves more questions about their sexuality.
“For instance, a large majority of the Asian population do not consume dairy.”
And then on the complete flipside of that, you’ve got Mongolia and their population snacking on aaruul and eezgii even to this day. Hell, they can even make liquor and beer out of dairy.
I dunno if I had a point to this, but there you go.
Your point was to inform me. And I thank you sensei
They make beer out of dairy products? This i got to try

Actually the guy is actually a man. The armor just turned him into an evil hermaphrodite.
So basically...
Hit em really really hard?
Plus that narrative fits because a dead body tends to become stiff with rigger mortic and eventually decompose

lol Censor Kaiser's Super Saiyan speech gets me every time.
I pause these half way to look for it and watch it, then I came back.
I agree not to fight creativity, but I’ll fight to the death about eating spoiled milk laced with stomach enzymes. Cheese is just plane good!
10:50 mark....I will never sleep again....0_0
7:11
OMG WE GOTTA GET BOB ROSS OUT OF THERE, HE NEEDS AIR...….
……….and a LONG shower, do they even make water hot enough for that?
Fill a tub with hand sanitizer, it's the only way!
God what a classic episode
17:00 dang it, Sage. You went and summoned Cthulhu!
I recently got done watching the entire first half of Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex, and that show's not nearly as bat shit insane as Apocalypse Zero is. I love that in Ghost in the Shell, you get the tinge of sitting down and thinking to yourself about the theme of a given episode, this... Is pure insanity at it's best. Not even a anime like anything on Crunchyroll is like this at all..
I love these reviews. I can't believe I never heard of this one. I wonder if he'll review Iria Zeiram some day.
he did actually. Go to his website
If only I hadn't lost it a long time ago.
Springtrap, you've gotta hold onto life! You'll be alright, everyone... everyone's right here by your side!
Basically a dawn of war line. "MY SCARS PROVE MY WORTH."
This reminds me a lot of the monsters in Devilman and Cutie Honey.
But will Censor Kaiser ever ascend to Super Censor Kaiser 2?
I think I now know where Cannibal Corpse get their lyrics from XD
He can review this yet he cant review something similarly as grotesque as violence jack ?
I need to ask how is it worse? I personally never watched Violence Jack, so you know why I ask.
I think Violence Jack is a giant animated middle finger to all things good and innocent.
These were REALLY weird choices to make. Like, in the original comic, everything got fucked specifically because of humans starting nuclear war which caused the earthquakes, and the demons were actually right in the fact humanity is 100% responsible for all the horrible shit happening.
And the main villain DIDN'T die at this point, in fact, at the end of the story, she and the main character have a truce, and she decides to make the world better and accept that humanity's too damn hard to wipe out to be worth the effort, and that'd it be better to just let them be as long as they don't do the whole ruining the planet thing again.
i actually like whorias design
Horia: "No, Kazu,You've got to hold on to Life! Everyone's here by your side!"
Kazu: "Sorry, Smoothskin. I'm outta here!" [Dies]
***** That's exactly right. Fallout.
This is like a Japanese version of Adult Swim except in this case they would blink.
This is the anime equivalent of a Blaxploitation movie.
I just gotta watch this purely to see how crazy this shit can get.
&...... This review is a week worth of nightmares. Thank you sage!💕
