Hey Steven there is one anime is pretty rare and I think hard this anime is called Okawari-Boy (Starzan S) from Tatsunoko Production. Every episodes but The first and Second episode on UA-cam but the others episodes was lost, go check onmyanimelist.net/anime/8799/Okawari-Boy_Starzan-S. But there was one clip from episode 21 right here ua-cam.com/video/PTEc6fIXWiQ/v-deo.html. And that was it. It’s up to you want to talk about this lost anime episodes
@@SodaPopBot no Mario only kills those who actually deserved to be killed, like the villains from the RPG games. I'm pretty sure Batman doesn't kill no matter what.
@@goatmilk1 Nah Mario often just kills bcuz something exists in his way. For example, the rats or bats from New Super Mario Bros didn't really do anything wrong lol.
Kotabe also worked on Grave of the Fireflies swimming sequence seems he was called in later on when they were struggling, he'd of been at Nintendo by this point. There's another story of how Kotabe was in talks with Miyazaki among others to see if he wanted to make a video game but it never got off the ground he did have an idea in mind that sounded similar to a pikmin style idea but from a bugs perspective. comicbook.com/gaming/2018/12/08/nintendo-studio-ghibli-hayao-miyazaki-game/
I enjoy very much the way you make the video feels managable to bring interesting story about people who works at amazing and well known industry like Ghibli and here Nintendo. The animation is also amazing, are you the one who animate it or is it a partner of animator cause it looks cool?
Kotabe Yoichi is such an incredible animator! I'm surprised he's gone almost completely unnoticed in the Western world. It's a good thing I love both Nintendo and Studio Ghibli, or I probably would have never found out about him.
I was talking to a friend on twitter and she had kotabe come to her college with takahata and didn't know about his involvement at Nintendo they didn't even mention it !
Yoichi Kotabe is like an artistic version of Titus Labienus. Labienus was Julius Caesar's top legate (general) during the Gallic Wars, and I would argue that Labienus deserves at least half the credit for the conquest of Gaul, and yet he's pretty underrated. Kotabe deserves at least half the credit for making Miyamoto's Nintendo characters iconic and memorable to this day.
I learned so much from this video! I also love all the rotoscoping you do; it gives your videos a style all their own. Thanks for all your hard work :)
It was such a pleasure to be a part of this video, Kotabe is such an important figure within Nintendo's history and I think you really knocked it out of the park showing why he deserves recognition :D
Big Thank You to both Scheming Fox (Miyamoto and Iwata)- ua-cam.com/channels/iXMaDBSkQPFvAzJ71I-i1A.html Pad Chennington(Koizumi) - ua-cam.com/channels/H4dD2XaQGE6OIG3avq5Sjw.html
As a guy who draws mario A LOT ( which became a inside joke with my internet friends) Yoichi Kotabe is truly an inspiration to me, his style is SO GOOD. also great video.
I appreciate the response this one is pretty important to me I really care about Kotabe's career I've been following it for years especially after Toei Month
This man is one of the kings of anime in spain, Heidi and Marco where HUGE a few decades ago, hell the ending of Marco was announced in the news, thats how big the show was!
At about 8 years old I became obsessed with trying to learn how to draw 2d style mario art, and it led me down the path to becoming an aspiring animator. I had no idea just how prolific Kotabe actually is.
You seriously deserve a much larger audience. Nonetheless, I'm just happy to see you upload consistently. Your videos are warm and soothing to experience, a hot fire in the blizzard of 45 minute reviews that reiterate all the same shit. I love your style and your pacing, it's an absolute treat Stay cool, Stevem. 👍
One other thing I'd like to stamp out , Windwaker has nothing to do with Kotabe himself, although the game for sure was influenced by a project he worked on little prince and the eight headed dragon (1963), which he did some of the flying and water scenes. Although he didn't have any personal involvement here and if anything that game owes more to Yasuji Mori who was basically the animation director and Godfather of animation at Toei
@@0do0m how do I know he had nothing to do with it? Thats simple he said so himself in his le monde interview , he's not on the credits of windwaker and was working on other projects at the time
Thank you for covering this! I remember reading somewhere the connection between that film and game, and mentioned Kotabe as a common thread. Some more digging was needed, it seems.
Awww it's so fun to see who's responsible for all this great art. I love that Heidi anime it's so sweet. Definitely gonna watch the one based off his wife
disclaimer it isnt an anime but has an anime OP done by toei it's a live action drama,but from what I watched it does a really good job at being era appropriate and showing how the industry was at that time
Dang! Kutusuya Terada worked on pre-'Ocarina of time' LOZ '_' ?! 6:42-6:45 To think that he didn't redo Link in the games after Koizumi's wife didn't like Link's nose: ua-cam.com/video/KKW23antixM/v-deo.html but good points ~8:13-8:16 and 8:33-8:38 I can see how Suetsugu's art style was used for the 'Oracle of..' games from what I remember from the neat commercials of Link going into a tower
m.ua-cam.com/video/oCLWcxhF0Cw/v-deo.html Hmm..in hindsight even if I remember packaging and game guides of Link showing him in the Capcom illustrator style, CGI commercial Link resembles the 'OoT' version more closely
Actually, aside from peach, all the characters in the myamoto drawing of super mario are very funny and cute. They may not be perfect but they definitely have soul.
there's a charm but it isn't the same as kotabe's I couldn't see miyamoto's Bowser being as iconic , I think he knows where his limits are(miyamoto) he wasn't suppose to draw it but was stuck doing it last minute
Graet video. Where did you find the quotes? Seemed like a podcast or something since there seemed to be a discussion. Edit: Oh yeah the description. Whoops
Great video! Did Haruki Suetsugu really do the A Link to the Past remake artwork? I thought it was perhaps Yusuke Nakano who did that? But I'm not quite sure.
Suetsugu is in the credits as an artist and Capcom did the GBA zelda games, I think they did the ports also , if you look at his work on Megaman X 6 or Legends you can trace the style
@@dawwe8869 the annoying thing about the internet and a lot of sites pull shit out of their ass the truth is the info isn't well spread, now the confusion here could come from Nakano having a special thanks credit on the 4 swords, but the art in GBA link to the past is definitely in the style of 2000s Suetsugu(not to mention Nakano had other projects on the go at the time), the oracle designs don't look that close, similar in language but not the same in proportions and style
Tbh I think you should have put Yoichi Kotabe's name in the title of the video. This may just be me, but I feel like when you put a relatively unknown name next to the title "Nintendo's Definitive Artist", it makes me want to know how I didn't know about this guy before. But that's just my two cents. I think this is my second time watching this video but it's still great.
I just changed the title to be a little more streamlined honestly in my experience putting a name in title of an obscure figure seems to hurt a video (unless they've just passed on)
Not an anime but the show I was talking about Natzura I think is it's name it's a live action drama but the opening is animated and there is some animation in the eps occationally
I believe Kotabe is talking about in Japan or he may just be misremembering (EDIT) I don't think the 5 million number is completely accurate either since it sold about 2 million units in the US
This man is a legend. Still shocked he's alive at 80. That's crazy for his age. Goes to show you that the Japanese have a long lifespan compared to other parts of the world.
@@Stevem Yup and there are still records of human beings that are lived even at 200 years old. A lot of the elite from back in the 1800s Europe used to believe that if you pound on the mummies and turn them into powdered dust so they can snort it up in their noses like cocaine. They will feel like Gods that will never die or grow old because they had a taste of the rulers at the time who was said to be born from the Egyptian gods. Still for some reason? Lots of them still believe that by using advance tech and trying out diets that could outlast all of us. I guess you can say some of the 1% who became Gods and are alive today could be with us but are so high in the power of some cult (Like Illuminati for example) that we probably don't know exist. Not that I'm saying there's caveman that is alive at age 9 billion years old. But some believe that if one is chosen to live a long life without aging or growing old into Oldman syndrome. But yeah. :/
Well it's literally an original work adapted by the creator into anime, Miyazaki. And of course what he's talking about more so in full quotes about Toei falling apart and the creative spark and team that made the work so special leaving, the work done in early toei was mainly adaptions but ones that could use the original as a basis to do whatever, rather than panel for panel adaptations.
@@josefd1997 I'll do what I want mate, this kind of video doesn't work without the conversationso that's how it will be, can't really be having 3 minutes of long quotes in silence not to mention that's not great for my dyslectic audience

Kotabe Yoichi is such an incredible animator! I'm surprised he's gone almost completely unnoticed in the Western world. It's a good thing I love both Nintendo and Studio Ghibli, or I probably would have never found out about him.
I was talking to a friend on twitter and she had kotabe come to her college with takahata and didn't know about his involvement at Nintendo they didn't even mention it !
@@Stevem With Takahata?! Oh my god, I wish he was still alive! She's so lucky!
@@saint_yves Yep, apparently he gave a talk on Pichnochio's use of animation and parallax
@@Stevem Wow! Honestly, I wouldn't care what they were talking about, as long as I could see their faces and hear their voices.
@@saint_yves Kotabe still gives talks even now , a lot these are done in europe places where Heidi was big like germany, italy , france ect
Yoichi Kotabe is like an artistic version of Titus Labienus. Labienus was Julius Caesar's top legate (general) during the Gallic Wars, and I would argue that Labienus deserves at least half the credit for the conquest of Gaul, and yet he's pretty underrated. Kotabe deserves at least half the credit for making Miyamoto's Nintendo characters iconic and memorable to this day.
for sure since they've changed veryyyy little and have in the past moved back to including as much of his art design as possible
"Give her cat eyes"
Miyamoto's obsession with relating women to cats strikes again! 😁
real curious huh , what if we were to put her in a cat suit...and then everybody else can be in a cat suit
Anything related to Nausicaa is an instant watch for me, but this is particularly fascinating.
I learned so much from this video! I also love all the rotoscoping you do; it gives your videos a style all their own. Thanks for all your hard work :)
Thank you :D I will say fun fact only one of those animations was rotoscoped the last one the rest was just good old frame animation on a light box
@@Stevem That's incredible! Makes the video even more awesome.

a legend in many ways, I hope he's getting on well
amazingly well done video, it was informative and entertaining :)
im glad you enjoyed

This is wonderful, thank you for sharing!
thank you for watching!
Severely underwatched and undersubscribed.
What the hell Pad’s voice just came outta nowhere 😂 anyways this is an awesome video
secret cameo hehe
That's why this Mario looks cuter than the non Kotabes Mario.

Suetsugu is in the credits as an artist and Capcom did the GBA zelda games, I think they did the ports also , if you look at his work on Megaman X 6 or Legends you can trace the style
@@dawwe8869 the annoying thing about the internet and a lot of sites pull shit out of their ass the truth is the info isn't well spread, now the confusion here could come from Nakano having a special thanks credit on the 4 swords, but the art in GBA link to the past is definitely in the style of 2000s Suetsugu(not to mention Nakano had other projects on the go at the time), the oracle designs don't look that close, similar in language but not the same in proportions and style
I hope he got royalties
i doubt it hahaha
Beautiful music bg in the first seconds can you share it please ?
07:32 - Wait, is that Pad Chennington?!
yep! its in the cards, credits , captions ect
Did I hear “Macross”?! 👂
yes the character designers zelda images are great
Tbh I think you should have put Yoichi Kotabe's name in the title of the video. This may just be me, but I feel like when you put a relatively unknown name next to the title "Nintendo's Definitive Artist", it makes me want to know how I didn't know about this guy before. But that's just my two cents. I think this is my second time watching this video but it's still great.
I just changed the title to be a little more streamlined honestly in my experience putting a name in title of an obscure figure seems to hurt a video (unless they've just passed on)
this channel is rly unerated keep up the good work
Thank you !
What is the anime at 11:17 - 11:21?
Not an anime but the show I was talking about Natzura I think is it's name it's a live action drama but the opening is animated and there is some animation in the eps occationally
iwata u.u
:(
10:56 Sold poorly? DK64? Seventh best-selling N64 game with 5+ million units sold?
I believe Kotabe is talking about in Japan or he may just be misremembering
(EDIT) I don't think the 5 million number is completely accurate either since it sold about 2 million units in the US
✨👍✨
This man is a legend. Still shocked he's alive at 80. That's crazy for his age. Goes to show you that the Japanese have a long lifespan compared to other parts of the world.
83.98 years is the average life span in Japan it's a little more than places than Uk, US, Australia etc
@@Stevem Yup and there are still records of human beings that are lived even at 200 years old. A lot of the elite from back in the 1800s Europe used to believe that if you pound on the mummies and turn them into powdered dust so they can snort it up in their noses like cocaine. They will feel like Gods that will never die or grow old because they had a taste of the rulers at the time who was said to be born from the Egyptian gods. Still for some reason? Lots of them still believe that by using advance tech and trying out diets that could outlast all of us. I guess you can say some of the 1% who became Gods and are alive today could be with us but are so high in the power of some cult (Like Illuminati for example) that we probably don't know exist. Not that I'm saying there's caveman that is alive at age 9 billion years old. But some believe that if one is chosen to live a long life without aging or growing old into Oldman syndrome. But yeah. :/
@@NitwitsWorld last i checked 120 years was the limit since after that the cells can't reproduce and rebuild
@@Stevem Yup. Humans were not made to live as long compared to other animals like Turtles which can live to hundreds of years
>complain about toei doing adaptations of manga
>work on nausicaa which is based on miyazaki's manga and not an original work
lmao
Well it's literally an original work adapted by the creator into anime, Miyazaki.
And of course what he's talking about more so in full quotes about Toei falling apart and the creative spark and team that made the work so special leaving, the work done in early toei was mainly adaptions but ones that could use the original as a basis to do whatever, rather than panel for panel adaptations.
Please don't narrate peoples conversations again...
That may seem a bit harsh but it really took me out of the video. I did however enjoy the rest wholeheartedly and am looking forward to more videos
@@josefd1997 I'll do what I want mate, this kind of video doesn't work without the conversationso that's how it will be, can't really be having 3 minutes of long quotes in silence not to mention that's not great for my dyslectic audience
