Dont understand why a company would want something giving them free marketing and perhaps opening up doors for new fans taken down. Lame

This happens because most of these claims are automated, I'm pretty sure if a human does the checks, all of these issues won't crop up.

such a shame ninja scrolls one of my favourite anime movies I even liked the series vampire hunter d is another good one shame really live the videos you peeps do 👍👍👍

street fighter

Paprika was Ahead of it's time with the high frames of detailed art. I first seen the Anime on my PSP UMD Video. Finding the dvd afterwards, took many years. I too, would have liked to see Vampire Hunter D, in the list. The PS1 Game was awesome. Near perfect adaptation. which is rare in anime to game adapts.

Yes, these are two that deserve to be in this

Those are good, but I feel they’re very surface level. I think this list was showcasing some of the more looked over films.

absolute miss here. Akira, masterpiece, Ghost, masterpiece. Shame it is not here. Also honorable mention to Ghibli studios, notably Nausicaa and The Red Turtle. there are much more than 12!!!!

@@jozefzero9618 I think it's a matter of highlighting the stuff that animation fans don't already know about. If you've the slightest interest in animation, someone has talked your ears off about Akira, Ghost in the Shell and this or that Ghibli movie.

@@YouLousyKids ...yes. point well taken. and much appreciated that you showcase these gems as you have. True.

Jean Claude Mobius was a design consultant on the movie who's work had appeared in Heavy Metal magazine which was originally based on a French sci fi mag called Metal Hurlant! Which was a huge influence on french director Luc Besson!

@@chrishutt6650 I never knew that! Now it all makes sense lol!!! 😁

Locnarrrr!

I love "Heavy Metal." Watched it religiously as a kid. And maybe I shouldn't admit this...but even though it was a cartoon, I loved seeing all the nekkid chicks in it too. Gave a special feeling down there.

@@chrishutt6650 Jean Giraud aka Moebius didn’t just contribute to Metal Hurlant, he co-founded the magazine with Philippe Druillet and Jean-Pierre Dionnet. Heavy Metal Magazine started out as a licensed, translated reprint of Metal Hurlant material.

Castle Cagliostro is a masterpiece.

Fantastic Planet and Wizards has always been my go to along w/ Heavy Metal for more adult, trippy animated fantasy flicks

Great list. I'd add Wrath of the Ninja on too, it has such a unique look to it.

I assumed that vampire hunter d and akira would be on here

Yea akira I was really surprised to not see.

THIS!

then u wouldn't of watched the video.. which is the point of the video

I was look for the hero in the comments with the list.

@@lifewithlouie420 he’s deleting the list

@@bertlegion683 you know what? i thought that but then i thought i was being paranoid.

YES! That movie is sooo sick, I wish it was a series.

That's hilarious. My story is exactly the same. I was about 12. Watched it on HBO. It was like crack. I was totally transfixed.

Agree, is a masterpiece

Agreed.

All hand drawn as well. Unbelievable.

Thanks for the recommendation! I’ve never heard of it but it’s dirt cheap so I ordered it. I’m pretty sure I will not be dissatisfied.

This should have def been here. I only just watched it recently and wow. It's every bit of the hype.

One of the greatest

Street fighter is not under rated LMFAOOOO to who ? 9 yr old?

@@shootertone5644 I think he meant about the movie animation.

Awesome soundtrack

@@mikhail21 yes i talked about movie from this video. It's awesome :)

Thanks , because golgo 13 , lightyear , mezzo forte never seen

What is "Lightyear"? I can google only upcoming pixar animation movie. Thanks.

@@dmitrykovalchuk ok so its original name is Gandahar ( French animated film) but the English version may be called The light years instead of lightyear. My bad.

@@dmitrykovalchuk Directed by the same person who directed Fantastic Planet (La Planète sauvage, 1973) which should also be on this list.

Vampire Hunter D and Mezzo Forte are my Favorites ☕

It is! The segment in the movie is called “Harry Canyon” and is based by the short comic story “The Long Tomorrow” by Moebius. Moebius worked with Besson on the Fifth Element. The publishers tried to sue Besson but was declined because Moebius worked with him. Moebius also worked on Dune project with Jodorowsky but the project was cancelled and from that project many artists did other things like Alien, Heavy Metal. Jodorowsky send his script to all Hollywood studios and rumors say Star Wars a new hope had f.e the same long opening shot as Dune and Jabba was inspired by Baron Harkonnen who was in the original A new Hope movie a fat guy before the cgi update. Anyway, Besson and Moebius often work together. Last time with Valerian.

Oh yeah! You're right!

@@eddievanhouten Very interesting.

absolutely! the connection of Luc Besson, who would likely been an avid reader of Metal Hurlant, the French predecessor to Heavy Metal, would've been a huge inspiration. and from those comics also came Enki Bilal who ultimately turned his Nikopol Trilogy into the film "Immortal". and then of course Besson went on to turn another famous French comic book "Valerian". and it would seem likely that they also were very influenced by Blade Runner which in turn was inspired by these comics. what we end up with is this diaspora of beautiful cyber punk-retro fit futurism/noir. Moebius and Jodorowsky would've been a potent mix for a version of Dune which i still wish could've been made in some way so i look very much forward to the Denis Villeneuve version.

Hmmm if Harry canyon was using the Loc’nar and fucking it maybe lol

The screams, after the camera pulls away from him being overtaken, with just a shot of the island in the distance. The score and sound effects in general, especially during that segment, were just hauntingly perfect.

@@CorbCorbin I concur with that 100%👍

Check out: Highschool of the Dead - an anime about zombies

@@mr.d6779 Seen it, absolutely love it(no, not because of the overzealous amount of tits/bouncing tits lmfao) and I wish the writer hadn't of died cause it needs a season 2 dammit! When I found out about the fact, that it may forever only have 12 episodes/one season due to the writer dying, I was pissed dude...lol it sucks serious ass, that it might never be continued or completed.

@@HelixTheCunt damn, I didn't know the writer died; no wonder we never got another season of zombie gore and plenty of fan-service! It's a good series though....

I actually liked the KMFDM song addition in the dub despite it completely changing the fight.

Completely agree, for me it’s the greatest female action sequence ever put to screen, period.

@@otomicans6580it made it better, the dub ost in general is superior.

Gave you ‘chills’ did it.

How many people here quit this video after the 'Heavy Metal' segment (which, surprisingly, was the first one)? ^_^ I was a bit older than you (won't say how much older ^_^). I actually collected the magazine back in the day, but made the classic mistake of leaving my collection at home when I went off to college, only to come home one summer to find that my mother had found my collection of 'dirty books' and threw them all away 0_0 Which was really upsetting, because I hid my ACTUAL 'dirty books' in a much safer location ^_^

I was born the year before it came out. Saw it, Akira, and fist of the north star as a youngster. Growing up knowing animation is such a powerful form of film is something we were the first generation to experience.

I remember smoking a joint in the theater while watching this movie.

@@jybrokenhearted that sounds dope af

THIS. So much this....

He was like the David Lynch of anime. Meta Anime.

This is me...☝️

lmao

Fritz the Cat

Fire and Ice (1983)

I felt attacked when you only mentioned Heavy Metal and not all the cartoons mentioned in the video 😠

Yes!

WTF that's insane. i thought all that was animated. holy shit my mind is blown!!

Technically Wizards is a "family picture", Bakshi specifically made sure it was PG so kids could watch it. Granted it would have definitely been PG-13 if that rating existed back then

I would think Vampire Hunter D would be mentioned not bloodlust. Bloodlust was an entirely different decade and recived no special attention at the time.

@@FatMarioHeads besides Fritz and LotR had a much larger impact on culture and animation at the time with LotR being a big mainstream release that became a standard pick in schools for movie day.

Ralph Bakshi could have his own list. Lol

or fire and ice

I wouldn't call ninja scroll under-rated though

Ninja scroll is not under-loved.

I was hoping to see ninja scroll too until I read your comment midway through the video. 🙁

@@zrouroni758 sure isn’t but it’s also far from being mainstream animation!

@@nicklaskowalski the topic says under loved. Not mainstream. AND NS is one of the best known animes. Akira is still not "mainstream" but uts known and appreciated.

Straight! Grew up with it, even have a pristine copy still on VHS with cover. Fakk2 game was also epic for it's time . . .

Funny you say that. Ninja Scroll was one of the first anime I’ve ever seen and I think I was around 8 or 9 when I saw it.

Wrong! I saw it when i was 10! Big difference 🙃

I think I was around 10 when I first saw Akira. Fist of the North Star, Ninja Scroll, and Wicked City came soon afterward.

Vampire Hunter D and Ghost in The Shell got me into anime at a young age.

@Stella Hohenheim i remember this for sure a long with ninja scroll lol.

Couldn't agree more

@ Man... Seldom exists a film that has an ending so shockingly jarring it leaves the viewer in a state of stunned silence. The ending is both heartbreakingly sad, and unapologetically sickening, while also simultaneously serving as a deeply profound, metaphorical gut punch to the viewer's emotions. In my humble opinion, when one watches an animated film, even if the subject matter is intensely sad and disturbing, the fact that it is animated creates a noticeable barrier within the psyche that causes its viewers to be somewhat unable to fully grasp the horror, graphic violence, and sheer terror of the individuals who actually lived through it. The director had to be aware of this anomaly, and thus decided to connect the animation of the film itself with actual photos of this atrocity. Such a simple action created an undeniably powerful connection to the aforementioned horror of those who were actually involved. It instantly made the audience realize that the events found within the film were in fact very real, and subsequently tore down that metaphorical wall I had previously mentioned earlier on. Anyways, I could talk about this cinematic masterpiece to even greater lengths, but I think this is a good spot to wrap up my inadvertently length dissertation.😆

I remember that! I was working at Blockbuster when it finally became available! I bought the movie and soundtrack! Good times

Fire and Ice was the first Anime I'd ever seen as a kid. Years later it was ninja scroll...and my life hasn't been the same since.

Indeed girl

Yeeessssss Fist of North Star!!

Three classics

I was actually yelling out that Akira was the actual first anime flick to introduce Western audience to Japanese animation. 😑 I never heard of "Doomed Megalopolis" at all. There are far older anime flicks which introduced the US to Japanese anime.

Imagine Kenshiro and Nagumo teaming up lol

Pretty sure he was wanting to acknowledge lesser known animated films, instead of referencing the same that are on almost every other youtube countdown.

The only reason I watched this video was to see if Wizards was listed. So disappointed

Wizards and Rock & Rule. Brilliant cult films and historically important (If it hadn't been for Rock & Rule, Nelvana would never have been positioned to completely destroy Bravest Warriors).

Wizards was meant for children

@@calebclendenin7073 - So, you’re never seen Wizards, or read anything about it beyond the title?

@@josephwisniewski3673 No. I‘ve seen it multiple times. Yes it‘s extreme for a children‘s movie but it was still intended for children.

i wish we could get the whole comic series in animated form by madhouse studios.

Actually alot of it was hand drawn so I would say that is one of the exceptions of a classical style. An attempt to bring back what masterpieces we've lost so ur not far off kid. In a way it showed my older eras inspirational work 40s to 95 where the best art works inspiring great. Motion pictures hand drawn greatly respected work of true hand crafting master pen and paper ever had in older times.

Wasn't an animated movie it was an HBO series! But point taken!

@@chrishutt6650 HBO originally spectated and kept older versions of shows and movies of the most unique sort that is until the 90s. Came to an end and after certain government b's about copyrights whitch is complete crap cause after 2003 svengoli came afar with a deal conspiracy with over 12 different companies. while doing that the meldowin melodies and Hanna barbana from co op-ed with cartoon network that affiliated with svengoli whom stole over 100 old titles overlapped during 2001 and re did from adult swim they activated a conspiracy cover up from a 5 million dollar deal settle ment with Sven goli after fireing over 1000 true crafters of older classics including the beloved classic nightmare before Christmas the adult swim had to paied off by said amount to keep their mouths shut. There for the MC garland family as well as the green family had an idea to work to Heather after three generations that screwed up the golden age of the greatest motion pictures ever concieved by a couple of the greatest minds a turn on the 19th last centry. In other words if the government didn't get greedy and fire all of thouse great artists that could have continued to makeing more golden class motion pictures instead of this crappy cgi lies that made a new generations of mindless junk that should have never been conceived period so to settle the rest to keep this lie afloat and out of reach by the time of 2003 the deal was struck secretly and now because of that were all stuck with crappy no good films the rest of the days of earth's future unfortunately without true originality. Because true creators with real intellect are no longer hired into Hollywood. Because the plan was to take out originality in the first place. The way the government wanted it. But of course that's where HBO tmc bravo and several major old corporations did the best they could in there factions to go ageinst the corrupted government to bring original creativity and true intellectual people whom still want to bring great films to life. The government tried to stop these factions but the kick in the nuts is this government can't because they only control the legislative part of that faction in Hollywood not the people's judicial nor federal branch choices because of the first and 14th amendment creating the political structure of true creativity that protects others art and ideals. And they cant touch it unless they want to lose the remainder of their branch power then the people would gain full control of all the hollywood. They may have been able to gain a great charge but a extreme tradeoff that could take 1000 percent average of their media stock. And copyrights would be shut down. And they don't want to hurt their remainder of the funding of their fat cats a number one piggy bank Republicans.

@@chrishutt6650 I guess you weren't paying attention to the full facts that ive spent time studying out of respect for real intellect like myself. For that reason kid u have missed what my older generation has created better then ur neo generation after 2000. The fact that ur vauge statement only said one uncarrismatic faulsivity for the spawn series was a form of chronicles whitch states movie length worthy. If u were intelligent like me and true artists like me u would have complimented me with real respect other then a cowardly statement. In light of that u show disrespect to not only me but the ones I respect because of their intellect and hard work to inspire as I do every day and will never stop inspiring the true arts of what brings peace and harmony and all of us closer together as one brothers and sisters of the universe. Something ur era and iggnorrance denies cause of hate and want for blood and power. Like the government corruption wants ur young generation to be. In slaved and chained to their power. And people like u are dumb enough to let it happen.

That's because they had to cut Ninja Scroll out due to copyright.

not quite sticking to movies either

Another one, missing from this list... Wicked City & Akira (I wouldn't put them in the PG-13 category either & they are really good too)

Calm down

Also, Serial Experiments Lain is not a movie. It's an anime series consisting of 13 episodes. So in reality, there are only 10 movies that are listed in this list.

Also called the Matrix Revolutions turn

You’re right. He should have said, “it takes a 180 degree turn”.

I feel a "Last Action Hero" vibe, here...

@@BETMARKonTube man of culture i see🤔

@@thereisnospoon277 180 would mean it would go back to where it started....it should really be ANY degree besides 180 or 360!

I saw Doomed Megalopolis way back when and that scene you're describing is the exact scene I remember most 😂

I re-watched Rock & Rule a couple of months ago when it was on Amazon Prime. Enjoyed it as much as I did growing up.

Blockbuster did have a decent anime selection didn't they

@@mikeyfn-a6684 surprisingly!!! Aww the good old days...

Ninja Scroll was my introduction to anime.

@@DaRealKing303 Great one to start with. I love that movie

mine was mazinger z , the 1972 series , we had many big robot animes back in the 80s and gatchaman also known as g force ,where i live they used to play it saturdays and sunday morning ,but movie it was probly a heidi movie or some of the same style

I remember the first time I saw it was on tv and my dad let me watch it with him because he hadn’t seen it in a long time lol fucking amazing stuff

I also watched this on HBO as a kid back in the early 80s. My Mom was on the phone with a friend and once she saw that it was "adult" it got shutdown. I wound up catching a late night airing of it while the parents were asleep.......LOL! This movie was awesome for it's time.

Omg! You too?? I was 9 when that came on HBO ( saw The Last Unicorn around the same time as well ) when the lawsuits were finished around 94 I ran right out and bought my copy! ❤️❤️❤️

One of my all-time favorite anime

I don’t even remember the story and characters but a creepy pumping machine still haunts me

How did you get the tape?

Excellent, I own the collectors set

Where do I watch it ??

It was! I recorded a whole section for it. But sometimes the editors can't include sections for copyright reasons 🤷

@@TheKristianEros Aaahh, makes sense. Hate copyright claims.

@@19tc85 Even though it absolutely falls under the "fair use" definition, I guess getting the video out was more important than trying to fight something as unfair as the KZfaq Tribunal. Was a fair decision in my eyes but I still would've liked to see it in the video.

He's talking about the movie Darling, not the comics.

@@sethlong9118 no he's referencing the source material the film was adapted from, which is French, not American as claimed

@@sethlong9118 he said the movie was based on the AMERICAN comic magazine. It's not an American magazine its a French magazine and a misstatement like that should be corrected, sweetheart.

Was about to make the sa,e comment

It was published in English as Heavy Metal for several years, edited by a former senior editor for National Lampoon. Another movie that was sprung from it's pages with help from H R Geiger's art was Alien. It was after it began publishing in the US that the movies inspired by it's contributors started being made.

Heavy Metal has a lot of sex and nudity.

As does your mom

Classic

Legendary

Overfiend is just wtf crazy!

That's not really adult. I watched it when I was a little kid

I most definitely agree one of the best movies

Also Watership Down is a must see!!!!

Great film, and I regret watching it as a kid

@@AndreNitroX oh it's definitely horror for children

All great choices. Afro definitely has its own beautiful style.

It's not a glitch. The video got hit with copyright claims so that last part and an entire entry got edited out.

I recorded it. Unfortunately it's been cut from the video. Copyright issues. You understand 😅

Yeah ninja scrolls is one of the first anime I seen and instantly fell in love with such a great movie, very graphic but it’s not intended for children even now it’s in my top ten favorite.

American Pop was Ralph Bakshi (Bakshi Productions) Rock and Rule was put out by Nelvana Limited They weren't 'done' by the same company. Neither are related to Heavy Metal in any way, but both are great movies. A couple of my favorites, TBH. The soundtrack from Rock and Rule has got some great performances by Earth, Wind and Fire, Blondie (Debbie Harry), Cheap Trick, Lou Reed... Sorry, not trying to be a dick here, but facts are facts. Your assessment of those movies is 100% spot on, though :)

Rock and Rule was by Nelvana, who made The Devil and Daniel Mouse.

A scanner darkly is one of my favourite films of all time.

woah people actual made it through a scanner darkly? I thought it was the most boring movie of all time.

@@marionamewontwork2681 it's a slow one I'll grant you that but the ending is amazing

They gave him credit by making a separate video dedicated to his work.

I think at least Bakshi's American Pop should be here. It's not really that "under-loved" as it's often considered one of Bakshi's best films, along with Coonskin, but Heavy Metal isn't really that under-loved either. And American Pop is definitely Bakshi's best looking film

Was looking for this exact comment

They did litterally 0 research

@@bm1747 yeap, they didn't even mention that there was a 2nd film made called heavy metal 2000
