A very special thank you to the incomparable Steve Blum for lending that magic voice to the Tears in Rain sequence. That small tribute to Rutger Hauer is one of my favorite things I've ever worked on, and to hear Spike Spiegel say those legendary words for the first time was truly incredible.
That was an insane experience to hear. I was so baffled but also so in awe. Thank you again for all the hard work you put into these videos, and I hope you're doing well.
Hearing Spike utter those words gave me a reaction that was so visceral. My nose began to tickle, my throat clumped up, my eyes began to well up with tears. Man what a great video.
Man hearing Steve Blum as Spike reciting the legendary Tears In Rain sequence is something I never knew I needed in my life till now. When Space Lion kicked in and he started talking I legitimately got chills up my spine. Thank you for this.
One of my closest younger brothers favorite series is cowboy bebop. He had tattooed Spike's ship over his heart. He would've loved hearing Spike say Bat's last soliloquy from Bladerunner. Sadly, my brother died of a heart attack at age 25. I really miss him. Thanks for doing this, kaptainkristian. It means a lot to me and brings nostalgia out from past times.
5:20 goosebumps. hearing Spike read my favorite quote from my favorite movie, that is an indescribable feeling. thank you, kaptain, I'll wait as long as you need to take, a new video is always and eternally worth it.
The amount of times I whispered "Holy shit" to myself while watching this. Beautiful and breathtaking. Capturing the magic of both stories in nothing less than a masterstroke. And that ending! Just knocked it out of the park and through the stratosphere. Thank you for making this and putting in so much effort because it shows.
Absolutely stunning. I've never noticed these details and it just makes me want to binge through both movies and the anime all over again, with a new love and insight.
Honestly couldn’t have said it better myself. I just started a rewatch of blade runner a few days ago, watching the first movie, all three prequel short films to 2049, and just finished the new black lotus series last night. It’s unbelievable this video was posted today. As a huge bebop fan I never really tied the two together but man this video was just made for me I feel.
You managed to give me that yearning feeling when watching a great show in only 7 minutes. Insane editing and pacing. Thank you for this video, and thank you for giving me the urge to rewatch Cowboy Bebop.
Dystopian worlds in science fiction are supposed to be gloomy and scarily dark, but the flashing neon lights, advanced technology, and cool aesthetics (especially the Japanese themed ones) keeps you come in company to makes the world alive. That's what make cyberpunk so special. Akira comes in mind as to what influenced from Bladerunner.
I think that's why it's so popular. It's dystopian enough to make you feel lost and hopeless, but there's still enough light to make you want to keep going anyway.
I would’ve said ghost in the shell but that out way way later in 1995 That being there’s one game that has this type esthetic down if you wanna check it out, it’s called signalis
Holy shit. There's no words that can express my gratitude at this video. The presentation, the writing, the tone. The end. Good lord I'm tearing up, this is beautiful man.
I'm a screenwriter, aspiring director. Cowboy Bebop and Blade Runner are my top 2 favorite cinematic experiences of all time. They're very inspiring in my writing. This video is so incredible. You have done such a phenomenal job with the pairing of the two. One of the best UA-cam videos I've ever seen. Kudos man. Thank you so much. Such a joy to watch.
It's great to see you back! This honestly is one of my favorite video essay channels on UA-cam. This one immediately got my attention. Two of my favorite stories, by kaptainkristian, and starring Steve Blum? Well now _I know_ I have to watch this.
This is such an incredible video you have made kristian especially with the editing and the parallels that _Blade Runner_ and _Cowboy Bebop_ have in common. On top of that, hearing Steve Blum providing Roy Batty's final last words from the film, just gets me chills and feels just like how Spike Spiegel would've said it in the anime.
Im working on a cyberpunk noir novel right now inspired by Blade Runner, Edgerunner, and Cowboy Bebop. This video was jaw dropping man. Really well done.
**OH KAPTAIN MY KAPTAIN** You were such an influence on some of the older videos I used to make. Glad to see you back, and sad to see you'll be gone for another 700 years till the next video. See you space cowboy.
This is absolutely my favorite video by kaptain. I am unable to express how this so singularly, so specifically brings me to a feeling I didn’t know I was capable of reaching.
It's hard to explain just how hard these videos always hit. The best thing I can compare it to is the feeling I get when I shut down whatever I'm doing to listen to a complete album. These pieces are incredible at capturing me and letting me get lost for a little while.
How is everyone in these comments able to hit the nail on the head as to why KaptainKristain is one of the greatest video essayists of all time. Analyzing media is one thing but adding to it is a wonder very few get to accomplish especially as great as this.
Your visual editing has never failed but the auditory transitions from this video feel SO much cleaner and thought out than before. Glad to have you back Kap.
Holy hell man. I love that you're exploring your own meaning with making these videos, blending straightforward breakdown vids with your own narrative and emotional explorations, looking for what you get out of making these and what directions you want to go. I also love your exploration of interconnections, I feel as if both Bebop and Blade Runner explore the positive and negative of connection. Human connection being the thing that we all need, but even corporate connections and corruption becoming a virus, or cancer, that is as vast as it is impossible to kill. Both stories showing humans afloat in an uncaring ecosystem, and forced to define their roles and what connections they need for themselves, no matter how trivial they are to others. Amazing work.
Your essays-all your essays- are fucking amazing, incomparable. I’m always completely blown away by your tact and precision, your reverence for your subject matter, and your (frankly frustrating) concise exercise in brevity. You are the real deal man
Cyberpunk dystopias are always dark and dreary, ready to remind you of despair. But I think the whole point of that setting and a materialistic modern world of machines is to provide us a sharp contrast in which humanity shines through like the neon lights blazing in the smog. These stories always start with the machines and how cool they may seem, but the end is always about humanity in humans or otherwise. And that's why I love them - it's one thing to have a story of humans falling in love in romance dramas or fighting a big bad in action adventures, but to see a hopeful human or human-like figure do it in a world that is rid of hope is beautiful by itself. Great video, wasn't expecting to shed a tear but I think you did a great job in expressing the genre and these two wonderful pieces of work.
Just amazing - intertwining the films, the audio, Steve Blum's beautiful Spike... And it flows so seamlessly I'm awestruck. These two icons plus ghost in the shell really define so much about the genre, and the investigation of humanity for me. Thank you so much for putting those feelings into words and art
A kaptainkristian subscription is that one relationship that you never can quite get away from. You were together consistently for a long while some time ago before he went away. He showed up and hung around for a little bit, but was right out the door again soon after. And here he is again. And all your time spent with him is amazing and memorable. And he'll leave soon, you know he will, and you make peace with the knowledge that you don't know when or if he'll come back. It's been months. Years. And the one thing you know is that whenever he comes back, you won't be ready but you'll welcome it with all your heart regardless. Because kaptainkristian videos are just straight up fucking incredible.
The transition from the campfire embers to the city that starts around 2:10 in this video, with the swelling score, was one of the most breathtaking moments I’ve ever seen in a cinema. Gives me actual goosebumps every time I see it. Thank you for another banging video Kap, beautiful and unexpected
Dude you have yet to upoload a video I haven"t immediately fallen in love with. I don't care how long they take, you're incredible man, a true inspiration.
Brother, I get a chill when your upload notifications come across my phone screen. And then you throw these two genre-defining icons together... I can't wait to go home and watch it again on the big screen. You kill it every time.
Every video you've ever produced has blown me away, but this one was on an especially high level. You really, truly, absolutely are _the best at what you do._
My God, this is a very beautiful work. The Tears in Rain monologue voiced by Steve gave me chills I hadn't felt in a long time. And it is true, we all look for something real, something meaninful in a relentless wolrd. Too bad not everyone gets to find it, but that's just the way it is.
I only saw Blade Runner 2049 last year and seeing this comparison only gives me more goosebumps about why it’s easily one of my all time favorites. Glad to see you back sir, and thank you Steve for that goddamn rendition.
This was beautiful. Actually moved me to tears. Cowboy Bebop has been my most loved work of art since my childhood and Blade runner being up there as well in my adulthood. Thank you so very much for this.
Quality over quantity. There's a few of these videos I go back and re-watch once or twice a year even though I've already seen them so many times. There's not a lot of them but they're so well made and impactful.
Goodness gracious sakes alive. This may be the best video essay I've ever seen on UA-cam. Brilliant, even transcendent, in its editing. Perfect use of music. Subtle, yet beautiful, in how it weaves together the two. So incredibly transformative. The amount of work that must have gone into this is awe-inspiring. So, so much beautiful imagery. And that ending... Wow. This is amazing. Truly amazing.
This might be one of the most beatiful youtubve videos ever created. I got chills down my spine when Spike spoke the Roy Batty line. Both these stories have had such a postivie impact on me. Thank you sir for putting them together
Man your videos are always amazing as they never come of as pretentious or edgy as some other video essays out there. And also what you do talking about art in film, shows, etc. IS an art in of itself. Whether you explain something I've never noticed before or viewing something with new lens, I always end up just appreciating those previous works even more. Thanks for all this
I love you kaptainkristian. I really needed such a thing in my life right now, because of some specific reasons. Exactly right now, yes. Thank you for your timing. As a very long time hard fan of both Blade Runner and Cowboy Bebop, and a person who lived his life with very similar thoughts with Roy Batty, I can not thank you enough for bringing this into my door step. Love you, and thank your for your hard work.
This is my absolute favorite channel on UA-cam. Every piece is so well thought out and edited to convey very complex ideas and themes in an incredibly simple and effective manner. Every property covered usually already means so much to me, but Kaptainkristian manages to put it in a new or exciting light that I had never thought of. Thank you so much for what you do and I can't wait for the next one.
I’ve been on UA-cam forever and hardly comment on any videos. This is probably my favorite video on the platform. Cowboy Bebop and Blade runner are two of my favorite things and having a video on both of them is amazing. The editing and transitions are superb.
My God, man. You may be the greatest video essayist UA-cam has ever seen. Every one of your videos is a masterpiece and unlike anything I've ever seen before. The collection of your essays could easily be given to some future intelligent species as a relic of the art that humanity created during its reign.
BRO YOU MAKE EXPERINCES. its just beautiful man. really glad you feeling better and back with the videos. you and your work inspire almost any video i work on. Exited for the next one. SEE YOU BLADE RUNNER...
I get a kaptainKristian notification and I run to my computer. As an editor myself, it is always a delight to watch your videos. Keep up the great work Kristian.
Literally the best editing and aesthetics I’ve ever seen in a video essay bar none - the reference to the interlinked line from blade runner 2049 was amazing
Wow...I mean like...WOW! I actually have goosebumps from watching this! That almost never happens. Awsome job on the editing man. And what a great subject to make a video about. Really cool you got Steve bloom himself to voice those lines for you. Truly an amazing video!
I just… fuck dude… not only are you worth the wait, you’ve probably transformed the notion of what a video essay should be… from your insane editing that I can’t imagine how long it took to master and create, to the visuals and segments you choose to shift to, and even your voice with a poetic script that has rhythm… all I’m gonna say is, no one’s questioning you’re up there man, no one. :)
the editing and subtle audio production in this really makes the video shine. It blends the sharing ideas and observations with evoking emotion and tone is so flawlessly
I wish youtube had an applause button, because a like just doesn't feel adequate enough to show how absolutely stunning I thought this video is. Your videos are always enlightening and well worth the wait.
You got spike spiegel to do tears in the rain. This is a gift to mankind
A very special thank you to the incomparable Steve Blum for lending that magic voice to the Tears in Rain sequence.
That small tribute to Rutger Hauer is one of my favorite things I've ever worked on, and to hear Spike Spiegel say those legendary words for the first time was truly incredible.
Legendary
Thank you and Steve Blum! It's absurd how happy this video made me, for real. Thanks man. Steve Blum has always been my favorite voice actor.
While he was speaking and the saxophone was behind him I legit got goosebumps.
That was an insane experience to hear. I was so baffled but also so in awe. Thank you again for all the hard work you put into these videos, and I hope you're doing well.
Welcome back Kap.
Hearing Steve Blum recite those line... Man. That gave me chills.
Thank you Kap.
can't believe I can her Spike recite that.
I’ve come back at least a dozen times since the vid just go watch the bit
Especially with space lion playing in the background.
Same!
💯🥲
You've gotten to the point where Steve Blum is involved, this is why you're one of the best.
Hearing Spike utter those words gave me a reaction that was so visceral. My nose began to tickle, my throat clumped up, my eyes began to well up with tears. Man what a great video.
2:12 - 2:18 that transition is insane 🔥
This man makes nothing but absolute bangers. Always worth the wait.
Amen!!!
I was a boy. They were two girls. Can I make it any more obvious? I am UA-cam's ALPHA MALE. Acknowledge it, dear ato
Agree
facts
So true! (:
Man hearing Steve Blum as Spike reciting the legendary Tears In Rain sequence is something I never knew I needed in my life till now. When Space Lion kicked in and he started talking I legitimately got chills up my spine. Thank you for this.
I swear you never miss dawg! Always worth the wait
Good to see you here bread, you are carrying the torch that kap lit.
Speaking of people that never miss: hi Breadsword I love you
ay man when you dropping?
Same with you bread

Thanks for doing this, kaptainkristian. It means a lot to me and brings nostalgia out from past times.
This mans editing style is on another level, his videos are literally always worth the wait
I was literally about to comment this
I figuratively love these videos
This is poetry.
You are an artist.

The editing between traditional 2D animation, live action, and CGI 20+ years apart and making it seamless is God-tier.

will always drop everything for kaptain's videos, and even better to hear steve blum do the tears in rain monologue
I couldn't wait in the car, I put it up over my dash...
Never clicked so fast in my LIFE

The king has returned!

My day has been so rough, but this just salvaged it.
My last months has been so rough, and this made me so happy.
(By the way I am not including my problems since 2002, just these specific months)
Oh my, 2 videos within 2 months. 2022 is shaping up to be a blessed year!
This is more like a poem than an essay, and it's beautiful.
Good to see you're back
Long time no see 👀
You disappear for 2 years yet are back and feel like you haven't skipped a beat. Your essays are some of the most perfect on this platform
Damn I got chills from that ending.
