Speaking as someone who _had_ lymphoma (a cancer related to leukemia) he does look kinda cancer-y. He used to be overly chubby but now he's gone a little far in the other direction, I think he's lost alot of weight a little too fast. I dont know anything about his situation, how he lost all the weight, or even his exact motivation (some sudden health problem, just wanting to get healthy, or just for looks) but i've known other people who've had that same look. In my experience it's either A: a sudden illness (I dont think thats why Sage lost all the weight though) or because they've done some sort of weight loss surgery, like a stomach band or something similar, and they've lost a ton of fat but they've either not gained any muscle or possibly even lost muscle mass due to the rapid weight loss. tl:dr, I think Sage would look better with either a bit more muscle or a few pounds extra.
Jeez ya! I knew too many who have died from "the big C" and that's why I find Sage's weight loss worrying. I myself have gone from 327 to 255 (fat wise) and then went back up to 267 by going to the gym and building muscle. I still have 30 lbs to lose *BUT* I want to do it in a healthy way. Whatever Sage is doing... It doesn't look *healthy!*
Orguss 02 was the first anime show I ever owned. Back when you had to pay $25 for a VHS tape that contained 2 episodes. And the closest store that sold anime was 30 miles away. Right now is a golden age for anime accessibility.
I really wish Bennett would start a version of Crunchyroll, but specifically for older forgoten animes like these. 60's 70's 80's stuff that most people don't know or care about anymore
There are a lot of hidden gems, as well as crap. The trashy ones deserve to be viewed as lessons for future animators & fan on how not to make a bad anime.
What i really appreciate of AA over other channels is how bennet reveals interesting, bizarre yet worthwhile. In an industry of oversaturation and good shows being missed, its always a pleasure finding hidden gems (Besides the rape)
That someone else is Toshihiro Kawamoto for Orguss 02, who also designed the characters for Cowboy Bebop, various Gundams and Golden Boy. That's who I'm referring to.
Right, we're going in circles here. I'm aware from the beginning that Mikimoto originated the designs and Kawamoto refined his designs. So yeah, lets give them credit.
I have to personally say thanks for solving a personal mystery 16ish years in the making. I picked this up at my local Movie Gallery when I was a kid, but couldn't remember the name of it for the life of me. You helped solve a similar mystery with Iria way back when, but I didn't stop to leave a comment then. Again, thank you for putting this search to bed, Sage.
I bought Orgus 02 randomly on VHS at a comic store in the mid 90's. Back then finding any anime was rare, and I liked Mecha stuff so I got it. It wasn't bad.
Something from Orgus 1 that makes Orgus 2 easier to understand. 1) Female Erams can't reproduce after they turn 18, which is why the blue-haired girl's family only had one child per generation. They also don't have psychic powers. 2) The Colonel was the Lieutenant/Captain in Orgus 1 (Muu robot who helped the heroes and was destroyed in the last few episodes). He explains how he survived in Orgus 2. 3) One of the brown dinosaur-like creatures is most likely Javet, who accompanied the crew of Orgus 1. 4) Orgus 1 ended with the heroes trying to fix the problems they caused when they fired the Dimensional bomb. 5) The space elevator took the heroes to where they needed to go to fix the problem they caused.
Orguss 02 is one of my favourite anime and is one of the ones that got me into Anime back in the mid to late 90's when they aired on Sci Fi at midnight on a Thursday in the UK
I find the way she says bless you particularly curious. Her lack of hesitation or shakiness makes it sound like this is an everyday conversation to her. Creepy
His ears are sharp enough to recognize different engines, but your surprised he could tell his boss was hurt? The guy was in a ton of pain and he could probably hear it in his voice.
"Sometimes, life makes it pretty difficult to like something, but that doesn't mean you can't like it." For some reason, I felt like I needed to hear that.
This was one of my favourite anime's when I was younger. I thought it was incredibly interesting and very well made, and hinted at a much larger world. Plus at its route it was a classic kind of story of young farmboy (mechanic) gets thrust into a bigger story. Great memories.
Easily the episode of Anime Abandon I've enjoyed the most in a long time. A fascinating subject, great commentary, a treat to watch. Amazing work, Bennett!
Sage, Bennett, or whatever your chosen personal "handle" is, you may not read this comment ever apart from so many others but holy damn I have to commemorate your work, as I've watched it for a few years now and what also strikes me is your personal tribute to human perseverance, your effort to take your own health of being to your own hands for a good time now. I don't use Twitter but I picked up from links that you've been at it for a good while now. Keep it up. Really. You have the guts and will power. The change has been notable for many episodes now, but still. Go, you glorious bastard! Not to distract the subject too much, any chance of you diving into Rurouni Kenshin anytime ever..?
why is it brian cranston is always "allegedly" in anime? i can think of three dubs he's allegedly voiced in...why isn't there confirmation? why doesn't he come out and admit it? from what i recall the one's he's in have been pretty good
A lot of anime is produced by non-union production companies, which can cause problems if you're a member of the Screen Actors' Guild or other groups. Which is part of why most voice actors - especially the ones who work primarily in anime have a bunch of stage names, to allow for at least some plausible deniability when it comes to working on those non-union productions. While Richard Epcar or Steve Blum can probably get away with saying "yeah, I'm also this guy", a big name actor might not.
I never watched the Pretty Sammy OVAs, but the Pretty Sammy TV series (retitled "Magical Project S" and released in a subtitled-only format stateside because they apparently lost total faith in Pretty Sammy and didn't want to spend dubbing costs) wasn't bad. Entertainingly amusing, actually.
Both are... a thing. Now if you want true mind-blowing watch the later spin-off Sasami's Magical Girls Club, season 1 is sailor moon goes to hogwarts, season 2 makes such a hard left it almost jumps genres with assassins being sent after grade school kids and the emo girl getting possessed by the venom symbiote made of human suffering and hate.
Words cannot describe how happy I am to see this OVA being covered. As a teen I saw this as a flawed masterpiece I think- because of Manning and it's really high production value, but hampered by *that* line and the script generally. Also, that one point when someone yells about only using Decimators for war and destruction. Always felt really on the nose. The fuzzy recall of that line, the fact I totally forgot the hecking ROBORG and this review make me want to dig it and give it a watch with uninitiated friends. It might not be the best work, and the ending is... shoddy. But I felt the product as a whole was a rare different and excellent gem hidden in what we got on TV and in stores in the U.K.
OHHH!!! I saw this anime once because it happened to be right next to FMA Conquer of shambala. At my best friend's library and I have been looking for over a decade. Thanks for the review Sage. DFTBA
With the number of times I've heard people say that all soldiers are rapists, I don't have a problem with him sarcastically suggesting rape as an alternative when his motives are questioned.
I remember watching this, like in 2004 i was on a mecha anime kick, when i rented this from video 112 even at 12 i could see the missed awesomeness. I can forgive an anime for being just subpar from beginning to end, it's wasted potential that drives me nuts
The reason I liked TTGL is because of Kamina embodying the character archetype of Lt. Manning and Roy Fokker that I've seen in older anime. Whenever they appear there's 99.99% that I would like it.
Manning's voice actor, John Synder has done work after Orguss 2 like Jigen in Castle of Cagolistro, E. Honda in Street Fighter 4, Cliff Schezar in Trigun, and still works on recent anime like Hunter X Hunter and Gundam: Iron Blooded Orphans. Only him and the voice actress for main female character did work after Orguss.
Bennet I just want to say I caught your show back in 2013 for the first time and been a fan since, I've always wanted to watch Robotech and Gundam in order (either for free or on T.V. but neither seem possible without a trillion ads) and even if you don't think your covering it will "do them justice" I can't wait to see your Robotech episode.
Holy crap! I hadn't seen your videos in years! I just stumbled across your channel again and i'm very very happy! but you look amazing! I hope you feel as good as you look.
This anime and Turn A Gundam are very similar to eachother. Both are set in the far future which is reminiscent of the early 20th century and both have their societies uncovering mecha from the past.
16:25- I think it is basing on Claudius, who pretended to be meek to survive the Julio Claudian's intrigue (not that he last long with Agrippina and Nero), Sejanus (ambitious Pratorian Prefect plotting against Julio Claudians), and Caligula (Mad, young, and impetuous Emperor).
I don’t know, the context of the “controversial” and “infamous” scene somewhat fits his character but he really could have thought of a better line to get her to leave.
Except this was the English dub. They change things all the time in dubs, that's why Sub purists hate them. Given that this was dubbed by an American company, they should have known how bad that line was.
+Yourpetcat meow You don't know anything about Japan, idiot. Evidently your reading comprehension is terrible too. An anime character threatening to rape someone is only a big deal for snowflakes like you. In Japan, that's nothing. You would squeal in terror at what some manga depict if a silly line like that bothers you so much.
I don't quite agree with the ending being terrible, it does take a drastic shift I'll admit, but I like how they incorporated the connections between this and the original orguss by that point. I will say the resolution does feel rushed and the villain's motivation was rather random. Orguss 02 I think is overally pretty solid, I'd say I actually like it as much as the original for almost the same reason you have said about it.
Erm... Harmony Gold never could use Orguss for inclusion in Robotech, since Tatsunoko didn't have distribution rights. Tatsunoko didn't have a hand in making Orguss; they were busy with Mospeada and pre-prouction of Southern Cross at the time.
Holy crap Sage! You are looking great. I havent watched you in awhile and the change is amazing. Gratz you look very healthy...... knowing my luck you got cancer or an eating disorder in the meantime so i look like a complete ass..... If you are not dying, you look really good.... Your content is great either way
Hey, Bennett! I hope you're having a wonderful day. I just wanted say I've been watching for years, and I'm so happy to see you've taken some steps to treat yourself better. You're looking really good! I hope you're practicing proper nutrition and such, keep it up!
Used to see that back a long time ago in the early 2000's era. Back when the Internet wasn't as advanced as it is now and there was no Facebook and UA-cam was hardly a thing also there was still Blockbusters and Malls around as well as payphones not smartphones.
Not Caesar, Claudius. The guy who pretended to be meek and submissive under Caligula until his demise. Not that he lived that long when Agrippina and Nero came into play.
Great job on your exercise program sage! I know it took a lot of work. I'm proud of you for reaching your goal. (I've been watching you since your game reviews)
The dub is much more of an adaptation than a translation. "Armors" being changed to "Decimators," for instance. Or completely dropping the techno-oompah opening song originally used in episodes 1-4 in favor of the techno-opera used in 5-6. And I remember a *lot* of the political intrigue scenes just being... wrong. Like the English screenwriter couldn't make heads or tails of the translation he was given and just winged it. It was done by Animaze, but this was years before they became ZRO Limit, makers of the best dubs around.
As funny as it is to watch Sage rip bad anime apart. It is so much more enjoyable to listen to him talk about anime he legitimately finds good.
both equally entertaining in their own ways
Damn. Sage is looking really good in this episode.
Good work, man.
Good?!
He looks like he has leukemia!
You can see his orbital bones.
Speaking as someone who _had_ lymphoma (a cancer related to leukemia) he does look kinda cancer-y. He used to be overly chubby but now he's gone a little far in the other direction, I think he's lost alot of weight a little too fast. I dont know anything about his situation, how he lost all the weight, or even his exact motivation (some sudden health problem, just wanting to get healthy, or just for looks) but i've known other people who've had that same look. In my experience it's either A: a sudden illness (I dont think thats why Sage lost all the weight though) or because they've done some sort of weight loss surgery, like a stomach band or something similar, and they've lost a ton of fat but they've either not gained any muscle or possibly even lost muscle mass due to the rapid weight loss.
tl:dr, I think Sage would look better with either a bit more muscle or a few pounds extra.
Jeez ya!
I knew too many who have died from "the big C" and that's why I find Sage's weight loss worrying.
I myself have gone from 327 to 255 (fat wise) and then went back up to 267 by going to the gym and building muscle.
I still have 30 lbs to lose *BUT* I want to do it in a healthy way.
Whatever Sage is doing... It doesn't look *healthy!*
He delarded.
Jesus Christ, you people are overreacting.
Have a gander at this: twitter.com/bennettthesage/status/961004217388290048
Orguss 02 was the first anime show I ever owned. Back when you had to pay $25 for a VHS tape that contained 2 episodes. And the closest store that sold anime was 30 miles away.
Right now is a golden age for anime accessibility.
TFW you notice that Thumbnail Sage has also lost weight. Congrats to both versions :)
Maybe he's on chemo.
I really wish Bennett would start a version of Crunchyroll, but specifically for older forgoten animes like these. 60's 70's 80's stuff that most people don't know or care about anymore
herron321 i know right, that sounds great
There are a lot of hidden gems, as well as crap. The trashy ones deserve to be viewed as lessons for future animators & fan on how not to make a bad anime.
I’d pay for that every month.
RetroCrush?
What i really appreciate of AA over other channels is how bennet reveals interesting, bizarre yet worthwhile. In an industry of oversaturation and good shows being missed, its always a pleasure finding hidden gems (Besides the rape)
Salokin I agree
+Chiaki Momoi *cough* The Anime Man *cough*
yaoi scene...... Fujoshi army Go
Character designer is the same guy who did Cowboy Bebop.
This guy's everywhere.
Macross & Orguss character designer Haruhiko Mikimoto did the original Orguss 2 character designs that were then refined by someone else.
That someone else is Toshihiro Kawamoto for Orguss 02, who also designed the characters for Cowboy Bebop, various Gundams and Golden Boy. That's who I'm referring to.
Yes, but Mikimoto *originated* the designs, Kawamoto then refined them for the production. Just saying, let's give credit where credit is due, yes?
Right, we're going in circles here. I'm aware from the beginning that Mikimoto originated the designs and Kawamoto refined his designs. So yeah, lets give them credit.
Even thumbnail Sage has slimmed down
I have to personally say thanks for solving a personal mystery 16ish years in the making. I picked this up at my local Movie Gallery when I was a kid, but couldn't remember the name of it for the life of me.

Cheek bones? A jaw line ? Someone's pulling a Jay Bauman.
Dee Construction of red letter media fame?
Nothing makes me smile like seeing this in my feed
Something from Orgus 1 that makes Orgus 2 easier to understand.

What's even worse about that line is that, after she leaves, he says, "I sure get sick of playing the good guy all the time." Yeah, okay, buddy.
I find the way she says bless you particularly curious. Her lack of hesitation or shakiness makes it sound like this is an everyday conversation to her. Creepy
Wow! I was rewatching some of your older videos and suddenly realized how much weight you've lost. Good for you, man!
Bennett now looks like the American counterpart of Jacksepticeye, if you squint your eyes a little harder.
Considering the dip in quality at the end, the Game of Thrones comparison ended up being really on point lol
His ears are sharp enough to recognize different engines, but your surprised he could tell his boss was hurt? The guy was in a ton of pain and he could probably hear it in his voice.

Easily the episode of Anime Abandon I've enjoyed the most in a long time. A fascinating subject, great commentary, a treat to watch. Amazing work, Bennett!
Orguss 02 remains in the company of movies that are known only for memeable lines.
god bless, now i know where those brilliant lines were from
I loved this show.
Like the anime's opening theme and that robots voice is jarring when you pointed it out.
Sage, Bennett, or whatever your chosen personal "handle" is, you may not read this comment ever apart from so many others but holy damn I have to commemorate your work, as I've watched it for a few years now and what also strikes me is your personal tribute to human perseverance, your effort to take your own health of being to your own hands for a good time now.

The dvd currently goes for $330 and the Blu-ray goes for $460.
16:35 THAT IS WHERE THAT LINE COMES FROM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! seen that picture in 4chan all over. I even saved it a few years ago and today I finally know
why is it brian cranston is always "allegedly" in anime? i can think of three dubs he's allegedly voiced in...why isn't there confirmation? why doesn't he come out and admit it? from what i recall the one's he's in have been pretty good
He's a super famous actor now and anime is still looked down upon in pop culture at large.
A lot of anime is produced by non-union production companies, which can cause problems if you're a member of the Screen Actors' Guild or other groups. Which is part of why most voice actors - especially the ones who work primarily in anime have a bunch of stage names, to allow for at least some plausible deniability when it comes to working on those non-union productions.
While Richard Epcar or Steve Blum can probably get away with saying "yeah, I'm also this guy", a big name actor might not.
Hey Sage good job on the weight loss bud. Doesnt feel like it was that long since I last saw you, but now I can see we have the same jawline ;D
I never watched the Pretty Sammy OVAs, but the Pretty Sammy TV series (retitled "Magical Project S" and released in a subtitled-only format stateside because they apparently lost total faith in Pretty Sammy and didn't want to spend dubbing costs) wasn't bad. Entertainingly amusing, actually.

With the number of times I've heard people say that all soldiers are rapists, I don't have a problem with him sarcastically suggesting rape as an alternative when his motives are questioned.
I'm glad he liked Orguss 02 and recommends it, despite the faults.
I remember watching this, like in 2004 i was on a mecha anime kick, when i rented this from video 112 even at 12 i could see the missed awesomeness. I can forgive an anime for being just subpar from beginning to end, it's wasted potential that drives me nuts
Well to be fair, Manning’s infamous line is the only time we ever see that girl smile.
You have lost a lot of weight since you started!!!! I deeply congratulate you
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I miss this anime. I rented the first ova back in 1995.
that was nostalgic. that was like the third anime I bought in the 90s
Well this was a surprise, nice new look Sage!
Best-Worst Line EVER
"People die when they are killed" -- Fate Stay Night
That Cybernetic Ghost comparison was spot on!
18:48 Eww, spit.
i swear this series's setting gave it the same vibes as Turn A Gundam and Zoids Genesis.
On the way home from work in 2002 I had to choose between orguss02 and mega zone 23 part one. So there's another what if.
*Pulls out Pretty Sammy: Ohhhhh, you are in trouble.
I would've waited an eternity for this.
Turns out I only had to wait a few months.
Thanks Bennett.

I liked Orguss 02, it was good anime for its time.
For the record, that opening theme will actually thump if you play it on good speakers.
Damn son! Looking great! Way to go!
Holy crap! I hadn't seen your videos in years! I just stumbled across your channel again and i'm very very happy! but you look amazing! I hope you feel as good as you look.
Manning is one of the few things I remember from Orguss 02.
I'm glad I'm not the only one completely unsatisfied with how Desert Punk ended. What a great/good show until it just gives up trying.
Orguss 2 is exceptionally underrated imho
You have a lot of great points and zingers in this one Sage. Great Episode my friend!!!
Lt. Manning: the Flashman of anime
"Bless you!"
Hey we're progressing in the anime covered on AA, at least they're just threatening rape and not actually committing it.
Progress!
This anime and Turn A Gundam are very similar to eachother. Both are set in the far future which is reminiscent of the early 20th century and both have their societies uncovering mecha from the past.
Hell yeah more tenchi
(sees Tenchi Muyo case)
Tenchi Muyo? But I thought you liked Tenchi Mu-
(sees "Mihoshi")
...ooh...right...
shit that tear scene had me laughing, that guy is sure in a league of his own. even if i may not watch this i appreciate you covering it, keep it up!
I love your work Bennett, keep doing your amazing work
how the heck have you not talked about serial experiments lain yet????
16:25- I think it is basing on Claudius, who pretended to be meek to survive the Julio Claudian's intrigue (not that he last long with Agrippina and Nero), Sejanus (ambitious Pratorian Prefect plotting against Julio Claudians), and Caligula (Mad, young, and impetuous Emperor).
Wow sage has lost weight, what's his routine? Like seriously I've watched anime abandoned since the beginning, and Bennett is doing awesome!
he gave his weight to Linkara i guess
DasKame I have not watched linkara in at least 3 years. But I do like his reviews, it's just kinda hard to keep up with his own channels plot.
DasKame damn
I don’t know, the context of the “controversial” and “infamous” scene somewhat fits his character but he really could have thought of a better line to get her to leave.
Awesome show sage. I'm chomping at the bit for robotech. I'll take what I can get.
Brilliant review as always Sage! Gotta love those zany "WTF" lines!
That line, why? Why would would anyone do that and the line after that from the woman is almost worse
It was a different time? I got nothing.
Except this was the English dub. They change things all the time in dubs, that's why Sub purists hate them. Given that this was dubbed by an American company, they should have known how bad that line was.
DogSpur pretty sure rape is a big deal in Japan too, wtf is even your problem
+Yourpetcat meow You don't know anything about Japan, idiot. Evidently your reading comprehension is terrible too.
An anime character threatening to rape someone is only a big deal for snowflakes like you. In Japan, that's nothing. You would squeal in terror at what some manga depict if a silly line like that bothers you so much.
DogSpur No, I am sorry, pretty sure Rape threats are a big deal Japan and to anyone who isn’t a psychopath unfit for outdoor life
SAGE!!!!!!! YEEEAAAHHHYAH!!! (Vash Starwind is doing the excited Kermit the Frog with his arms flailing)
I don't quite agree with the ending being terrible, it does take a drastic shift I'll admit, but I like how they incorporated the connections between this and the original orguss by that point. I will say the resolution does feel rushed and the villain's motivation was rather random.
Orguss 02 I think is overally pretty solid, I'd say I actually like it as much as the original for almost the same reason you have said about it.
You make a very valid point, mysterious alien wearing Sage as a skin suit.👽
Erm... Harmony Gold never could use Orguss for inclusion in Robotech, since Tatsunoko didn't have distribution rights. Tatsunoko didn't have a hand in making Orguss; they were busy with Mospeada and pre-prouction of Southern Cross at the time.
This anime reminds of Broken Blade... and I like it.
Its Slim Sage. He's just as fast but not as powerful as regular Sage!
Holy crap Sage! You are looking great. I havent watched you in awhile and the change is amazing. Gratz you look very healthy...... knowing my luck you got cancer or an eating disorder in the meantime so i look like a complete ass..... If you are not dying, you look really good.... Your content is great either way
Hey, Bennett! I hope you're having a wonderful day. I just wanted say I've been watching for years, and I'm so happy to see you've taken some steps to treat yourself better. You're looking really good! I hope you're practicing proper nutrition and such, keep it up!
I didn't know Orguss had a sequel...
Jesus dude, I’m proud of your weight loss. Really inspiring.
Used to see that back a long time ago in the early 2000's era. Back when the Internet wasn't as advanced as it is now and there was no Facebook and UA-cam was hardly a thing also there was still Blockbusters and Malls around as well as payphones not smartphones.
Elf Blood will flow for thousands of years
Whoa, check out that chestee Wendee Lee! :0
My boy Sage hittin that p90x, god d** my boy keep doin your thing
You know he has to do Desert Punk, eventually...
darn sage you really are losing weight. i see it in your face well done
hey sage! watch it with subtitles. It'll fix the acting issues
I see the heir apparent used the Julius Cesear method to go on being undetected
Not Caesar, Claudius. The guy who pretended to be meek and submissive under Caligula until his demise.
Not that he lived that long when Agrippina and Nero came into play.
Dude, you look amazing!
Handsome sage gets two thumbs up!
Great job on your exercise program sage! I know it took a lot of work. I'm proud of you for reaching your goal.
(I've been watching you since your game reviews)
I hope I am not the only one who wants Sage to review some of the Final Fantasy animes
"until next time"
*sees what is being held aloft*
And that is when the prayers for Bennett's sanity begin.
With what he's been through over the years of Anime Abandon I am surprised he and us who have watched every show have any sanity left.
Dude you are loosing a lot of weight! Keep going dude, your doing great!
The dub is much more of an adaptation than a translation. "Armors" being changed to "Decimators," for instance. Or completely dropping the techno-oompah opening song originally used in episodes 1-4 in favor of the techno-opera used in 5-6. And I remember a *lot* of the political intrigue scenes just being... wrong. Like the English screenwriter couldn't make heads or tails of the translation he was given and just winged it. It was done by Animaze, but this was years before they became ZRO Limit, makers of the best dubs around.
I suspect they were drawing on I, Claudius.
There is a strong Nero/Claudius dynamic.
