"unfortunately the collector who recovered this tape was unwilling to share more than the op and several screenshots" I will never not be angry when I hear this in relation to lost media.
Yeah, I removed the guys @ from those twitter screenshots because I don't want anyone reaching out to him, he's kind of a goblin.
@@MercuryFalcon Great. People like them shouldn't feel some sort of superiority just because they have this one specific thing nobody else has.
@@MercuryFalcon what's the point of saying he has it when he's not even going to share more information let alone even show footage of it?
*cries in 2nd doctor episodes*
@@tykamen5588because the whole point of documenting facts about a subject is that you do it unbiased, and not omit certain things because you're angry about them.
I always love these obscure mysterious of Showa Era media. So much has just been lost to the sands of time.
ok all caught up now to watch the new release.
It sad that anything past 80s anime and manga usually gets overlooked by American anime fans so much interesting stuff from that era that help to craft the median into what it is today that is Ethier lost or very hard to find.
Great video like always very informative and good editing 10/10
Italians are some of the world’s biggest Go Nagai lovers. They’ve got the fabled Cutie Honey, Mazinger Z and Devilman, amongst a crapload of other Go Nagai works.
I first heard of "Donkikko" from an audio collection of old Japanese tv show intros given to me by a (former) friend and co-worker. The theme song was the only thing I knew of it until now.
I am so hungry for more old-ass B&W anime, after enjoying how insane 1968's Cyborg 009 was. If this whole series gets miraculously found and dumped online with like subs, I am definitely gonna watch it.
There is such a charm to early 60s cartoony anime that lights up the joy in my soul.
The Cyborg 009 tv anime has a DVD release in Japan. Donkikko isn’t as lucky, but it’s getting there.
@@SlapstickGenius23 Was more referring to Donkikko, rather than 009. I have the episodes already saved on a drive somewhere.
Same
Frankly I never watched any anime from the 60s. But if I wanted to it sure would suck if the show I chose turned out to be lost media. Plus you reminded me how I know nothing about Shiro Sagisu, such a prolific musician must have some stories worth knowing.
懐かしい！ドンキッコはリアルで見ていました👍
11:07 it's very intresting seeing all these charecter designs would get reused for ashita no joe as background children.
7:02 my jaw fucking dropped bro, i did not see that coming lmfao
I think one episode of "Yadamon" was available on DVD through P Production a while back, although I don't recall what that DVD was and where it was available, but I've seen clips of what was clearly a digital transfer of it online.
These things fascinates me. Thanks for covering it!
I think there was an episode included on a tape that included the pilot episode of Silver Jaguar, does that sound familiar?
There's also a magical series from the 90s called Yadamon that's unrelated but I assume that's not what you're talking about.
@@MercuryFalcon the previous Yadamon show is about Yadamon the Dinosaur, whereas the second Yadamon show is about Yadamon the magical girl.
Eyyy Smallbug! I am a big fan of your Lost Planet Anime blog, I miss reading that whenever you updated it.
A collector finding a tape and not sharing but a description and some screenshots is almost cliche when it comes to Lost media.
Pretty sad, if they don't make copies/mantain the original it will be lost forever.
The last thing he said before blocking me was "Bury me with Donkikko"
@@MercuryFalcon Yeah, I got blocked by them too. Most likely because I asking about more info about the Hyokkori Gourd Island Anime Film. Which I hasn't been found as of yet, unfortunately.
if i've learned anything from the few old anime i've seen... based on that ending theme, this show is probably a banger.
Great video! I am brazilian and most of this old 60s lost animes received a dub here in the early 70s (Guzura, Zoran, Shadow Boy and many others) but this was one of the animes that was never aired here. I really hope that people finds it! Another cool anime that is lost is "Tamageta-kun"
Space Boy Zoran has a DVD release (with most of the surviving episodes) in Japan, so there is hope. The dubs to the Guzura anime shows’ chances of survival aren’t too bad either.
Sadly, Shadar has been hit the hardest in terms of losing the episodes to legal issues and all that bullshit.
@@SlapstickGenius23 The Guzura version from the 60s was called "Guzula" and the 80s was called "Binsky o dinoceronte" (The name of my account lol). In the Internet you can find some episodes of this dubs, but they are mostly in the hands of private collectors. I got some episodes from them some years ago, really very rare stuff
@@SlapstickGenius23 Kenny Lauderdale made a video about how Shadar was poorly preserved and how Kineko Video scanned a bunch of episodes of it.
You know what's also lost? The original high-quality cinetape recordings of anime and tokusatsu.
Heck yee, I love looking for lost media, but sometimes it can be hard. I've been trying to do a bit of an investigation on a anime film called Akuma to Himegimi, which is a lost toei anime and the only few sources of its existence is screenshots and audio only thing too.
Alleged fun fact:Apparently the creator for Banana Fish was involved with this production.
This very cool never knew ishinomori had a lost series that was made that’s cool glad it’s found
It's interesting hearing John cover Lost Media with narration that doesn't sound like a ransom note.
The character looks cute
I was really looking forward to this video and it did not disappoint! Love seeing people go the extra mile to not only obtain these classic items, but also be willing to open them, show them, and play them. I appreciate the time you took for the research and relaying the information regarding this one. While Donkikko isn't on my must have wish list or anything, I'm a huge fan of preserving older animation and it's history, so this was just a great video to see. Well done and looking forward to future videos ^^
Love Learning about this lost black and white anime thank you
I think that donkikko is supposed to mean 'child who is blunt like a club'.
I'd believe that. ANN says his name comes from the Japanese pronunciation of Don Quiote but even with all the resources I have regarding Ishinomori's works none of them discuss Donkikko so much of the series is just over my head.
The mystery continues ~ love the cute opening song ^_^
The way you express your video is wonderful.
Great video! It's cool to see stuff that really breaks the mold on lost media videos, both in format and topic!
Another great vidso!!
I love when people have a piece of lost media and the ability to share it but refuse
One day Donkikko will be found. 😀👍
I would love to see a video about the experiences of consuming media related to anime before the home-video release/streaming. I've never head of the audio of the discs, but I did read some anime comics where they would transfer the content of the anime into a manga format with paneling and onomatopeias just like manga (I can say that I have watched and Mamoru's Oshii ghost in the shell). Or even lost adaptation of movies in manga format. (did you know there is a waterworld and king kong manga?)
Novelizations, comic adaptations and all those stuff are really interesting.
There are a crapload of Tarzan mangas. Many of which are in poor quality.
Nothing but contempt towards collectors who hoard lost media.
Otherwise in Japan, copyright laws there are the strictest in the world, not allowing anyone to upload an anime episode online while blindly leaving doujinshis alone, because Japanese companies think of lawsuits against doujinshi artists as being to costly to do.
Great video! I hope shacks big challenge can still be found but anyway great research!
I found one of the kids that was on the show but he refuses to reply to my messages. Also its spelled Shaq so Ill have to assume you watched the dub. smh.
Nice! Been finding out more of older Japanese creators as of late. Fujio Akatsuka might be one of the most interesting to me, having helped spawn multiple franchises that lasted for hundreds of episodes, even getting a resurgence in recent times thanks to Osomatsu-kun.
Aside from being a great video as usual, I'm glad you were able to pronounce blameitonjorge correctly. It's actually mind boggling how many people say "George".
Yeah, I can't tell you how many people I've met who can't pronounce Spanish names to save their life
It literally say "Jorge" aka whore hey...
I just now noticed that his name is Jorge and not George. I guess I always thought it was a way of spelling George if the username was already taken.
Nice
interesting video, shame the guy didn't upload the entire episode. I never considered how much trouble it was for those 1 episode only uploads to get there
Hoarders bad
@@bluebaron6858 keep in mind that the archaic Japanese copyright laws do tend leave doujinshis alone, mainly because they can cost them too many lawsuits. Otherwise, they don’t allow a single episode upload to be there online.
Strangely enough, I remember watching a VHS with a friend that contained a bunch of old anime such as Gaboden Island and one episode of this show. He has moved back to Japan last year and I forgot to talk to him about it. It was in very low quality and I don’t remember that much about it. Thanks for bringing back a mostly forgotten memory.
Gaboten Island does have a dvd release and it’s alright, but very hard to find. It’s also an early Eiken show, made when Eiken was called TCJ before it became its own thing.
0:16 thank you ugh
He was an FBI informant
They called him GAY!
Was surprised to hear Harris no Kaze mentioned in this video! It is one of my favorite series. I own 7 of the DVDs for the black and white anime (I still plan on purchasing the other 3, but haven't got around to it). I hadn't heard of Donkikko previously, but the mc of a gag manga's appearance being based on Ahbo (Kunimatsu's younger brother) from Harris no Kaze is humorous to me because Ahbo is a calm, honor's student in contrast to his much more rambunctious older brother.
The author of Harris no Kaze (Chiba Tetsuya) had another black and white anime adaptation of a series he wrote, Akane-chan, which is lost outside of four episodes unfortunately. Some episode scripts for it were posted on yahoo auctions for awhile but are no longer posted. I didn't have a lot of money saved when they were posted but I regret not purchasing them now. I wonder if scripts could show up for other lost 60s anime.
I have one of the Kaze no Harris DVDs (volume 5) you should totally rip them and upload them to the internet.
great video man, loved how it all came together in the end, I'm surprised Lion Maru doesn't have a much bigger following considering its a tokusatsu built for furries.
Before it distributed #mockbusters made by Golden Films and JetLag Productions, GoodTimes distributed a few episodes of the first Lion Maru show dubbed into English.
Furries are lame, Lion Maru isn't.
Looks like Bubble Bobble
0:39 good for you, Mercury. This way no one can say "Hey, you're just copying what other Xyz youtuber did!"
They'll say "¡Oye, solo estás copiando lo que hizo otro Xyz youtuber!" 😆
I enjoyed this video.
2:50 wait, a good goldar ?
It’s a Tezuka Character called Magma.
Big x is dead unfortunate. I do have a few episodes
We’re did you get theme song of donikko
can you find donkikko vds tape one that was on service
Have you tried threatening the guy who has the footage?
He has me blocked after I messaged him nicely twice. When I asked someone if I may have been too pushy even though I asked months apart and in Japanese they said “no he does that he hates foreigners and only shows his tape collection to people who are willing to trade him other rare tapes”
@@MercuryFalcon To be fair, he's leaving you no choice but to consult the yakuza.
anyone know the anime shown at the 0:09 mark
What anime is this @0:38 please?
The Donkikko manga is the source material (created by Shotaro Ishinomori) that the Donkikko anime was based on.
???
@@MercuryFalcon Shotaro Ishinomori created both the Donkikko manga and its anime adaptation.
Yeah mercury falcon already mentions that in the video, what is the point of this comment?
What are you going to tell us next? The sky is blue and water is wet?
The Donkikko ED unfortunately isn't much of a banger compared to say, the naruto op or sword art online soundtrack
I know bait when I see it
5:58 this anime has racist parts featuring pilots Fighting white male pilots I like that even white people getting killed getting drowned by war pilots.
Have you seen it? I could only find one episode online and it didn’t have any American pilots
