"A demonic elixir that makes him lose his mind and turn into a savage beast" Over here we call that a six-pack of stella

Meatbuns are great. Jelly filled are my favorite. Nothing beats a jelly filled meatbun.

Interesting note about the cover art. The pose that the character's in is actually from a Shaolin Eagle Style.

His hair reminds me of those old "how to draw manga" books

Oh my God, it's Armstrong from Metal Gear Rising!

Red Hawk looks like an anime version of Sideshow Bob

That Doctor Weird More Corn bit always gets me. Every time!!

Meatbuns B O I

MAI BOI ALL MEN STRIVE FOR MEATBUNS!!!!

16:10 Senator Armstrong! Standing heeeere I realiiiize...~

I hope you review Great Teacher Onizuka someday

"And as a strong, independent woman I NEED THAT MAN!" Best line, Bennett. LOL

Not surprised Steve is in almost EVERYTHING

Thank You for Lord Weird. MORE CORN! I needed that laugh.

First Samurai Showdown makes a comeback then this? This is a good day

this has the most memorable anime hairstyles Bennett still has not reviewed BOBOBOBOBOBOBOBOBOOBOBOBO

Red Hawks actually did at one time have a Wikipedia entry. I know this because that’s how I found out it was a Korean film when I first looked it up after purchasing the VHS at a thrift store years ago. But after looking for it again it seems that it was deleted for some strange reason...

I laughed so hard at the John Cena. You're awesome

Man, this anime is like if an SNK arcade cabinet came to life.

WHY WASN'T HE NANOMACHINES, SON!?!?!?

I swear, this anime is almost beat-for-beat Samurai Champloo. Weird-looking guy is eating at an establishment when a ruffian hassles the waitress, weird-looking guy is about to handle the ruffian when a quiet, mysterious stranger steps in and initiates the fight, but the restaurant is smashed up, anyway. The girl then decides to follow the two people to find the person who killed her parents. Change up a few details in both shows, but the overall plot fits neatly either way. Even to the point of Steve Blum playing the weird-looking guy in both shows. That's hilarious.

It should be noted that up until recently, which still lingers in some today, South Korea had A LOT of bad blood with Japan, predating WWII, but especially from it. That being said, it makes some sense that South Korean studios would rather rip-off Japan rather then touch them with a ten mile pole.

That music from 4:31 is actually from Magnetic Rose originally, three years before Bebop. Go to the first SOS scene and be amazed. But if Red Hawk also came out in '95, where's it originally ORIGINALLY from?

Its episodes like this that really make me miss the Dr. Weird opening segments from ATHF.

I remember streaming this anime back in 2002 or 03 on an old site called sputnik7 along with the likes of angel cop and mad bull. Good times...kinda.

The thumbnails are sometimes my favorite part of Sage’s videos...even a lot of videos I watched was purely because of the thumbnail...(including this video)

ANyone else remember when Sage had a goatee? I miss Sages Goatee, it really framed his face nicely...

The Dr Weird dub over the main bad guy was spectacular.

I REALLY wish I could remember the movie (?) where the mysterious hero who appears out of nowhere and the bumbling town goof who looks exactly like the mysterious hero and runs off when danger appears... are actually two completely different people. I mean from what I recall the goof actually runs to go get hero but they dont tell you that until the end.

Video games still win the crazy hair competition. Seymour from FFX has hair that borders on impossible.

The friggin references were on point in this review! the Dr. Weird "corn" bit had me in stitches!

12:07 Magnus from "If the Emperor had a Text-to-Speech Device"??? XD

Is it me or does Red Hawk's civillian form look like Junta Momonari from DNA^2? At least when he's under the influence of the Mega Playboy. Mainly cause of the eyes.

Please Bennett I've been begging for months, PLEASE do a vid on Megalo Box

Loving the Aqua Teen Hunger Force refereces dude, Dr Weird its gold tier comedy stuff man. Now that i had seen the Not-TRON and Not-Dragon Ball korean relative and now the Not-Street Fighter korean version i had seen everything from them now, i mean yeah the Hedgehog and Squirrel stuff its....messed up to say the least but at least some sort of originality and quality went in there *SOME SORT* not so much after all, but this? god damn its quite stupid, i mean yeah it has some "good" designs and decent animation but dear god its just bland and stupid, and has nothing going on for anything in the OVA. Also its is me or in the cover Red Hawk looks like that Hawk looking girl from that Turbograph 16 game called Strip Fighter? but as like a male version of her of course, well at least they could had used him to do a porn spin off where he is some kind of stripper like that girl, at least it could had "pleased" some girls out there.

17:11 And the movie ends with Red Hawk breaking his neck before walking into the sunset.

Another great day for anime abandon

The longer this review goes on, the more I feel this review was made exclusively to not only highlight a Korean anime, but also for Sage to shitpost like mad. To be fair, this is basically Copypasta: The Anime.

I haven't seen this movie, but I saw another Korean anime called Wonderful Days and I loved it.

Puppet Princess is a nice gem. The last anime that I remember using hand drawn animation.

*sees puppet princess is the next review* oh this is going to be a rough one.

... SKY-BITE WAS SAGAT?!?!

Honestly, I kinda felt this looked like it was ripping off "Ninja Scroll"

I saw this movie a few hours ago. I thought it was... Alright. Nothing fantastic, but not horrible either. Hey, Sage. While you're on the subject of Korean anime, you should review the Korean Street Fighter anime movie. It came out in 1992, which was two years before "Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie". Its a VERY bizarre film. But unlike the 1994 animated movie which was an official licensed product, this Korean knock off is unofficial since Capcom never authorized it. And I'd like to see you do that movie justice. I don't know where you can find a physical copy of it anywhere. But its on KZfaq.

Thank you for the Tenchi Muyo OVA clip; Pink Hair was a rival fiancee for Ayake and had about two minutes of screen time :P

"JOHN CENA!" HA! Haaaaaa. That was funny, I enjoyed that. Also any and all Dr. Weird references and jokes are always welcome and appreciated. Also you know what else was animated in Korea? A little known series, you probably haven't heard of it, FREAKING AVATAR THE LAST AIRBENDER! Also Voltron, The new one. Korea can pump out some magnificent stuff when it wants to. Yeah those were written over here in the West, but you can't take away the animation itself.

Please review Protector of Universe 2:40. I’ve wanted you to for a long time now. That movie was my childhood. Whether or not that’s a good thing is still debatable for me.

Didn’t think I’d see a more core reference! Best doctor wired skit ever!

thank you for the closure, what the info I got about this anime was from either an old VIZ video, Manga entertainment, or Manga Corps dvd & no trailer to show for it,

7:50 Calling it here: Street Fight the Animated Movie. I'd know that Hadoken pose anywhere. Like the live-action movie.

I remember this anime, or rather I remember deliberately avoiding it.

Steve Blum was Red Hawk in this, and T. Hawk in Street Fighter II the Movie. Coincidence?

Lord weird being dubbed over anime should be a viral meme.

thanks for adding back the intro I, missed pressing L button 5 times before each video

Who else was thinking of Senator Armstrong from MGR when sage did the close up on the the main bad guy's face?

Wait, Bruce Wayne is batman?

Love the new intro!. The engineer did a great job with it.

Hey sage can you please review SD Gundam Force for another tonami month.

Man, that Dr Weird skit had me in stitches

I don't think this movie/manwa was THAT bad honestly (Coming from a guy that has the main character as his profile picture)

Oi, I LOVED that anime So freaking... simple And that transformation at the end... stupidness reincarnated

Steve Blum sure was crap at voice acting before Bebop, Mary Elizabeth McGlynn must have done something to him.

That shit crazy I’ve been looking for this anime for years I saw It a long time ago when I was either 4 or 5 years old thanks to you I can finally watch it again

13:02 I INSTANTLY LOVE THIS BAD GUY.

The scene at the restaurant plus the heroine wanting to meet a mysterious man that she feels she owes her life too ( that doesn’t smell of sunflowers) and Sage saying there were more connections to Cowboy Bebop made me think it was a Samurai Champloo rip-off until I remember this is almost a solid decade before it even airs.

"My father *built* this castle! He said Weirds would live here for a thousand years! And now it's being turned into fucking lofts!"

15:47 WELCOME HOME BOY MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Oldtaku’s got some oldschool CG on his old ass.

I was given a free copy of Red Hawk on VHS back when I did my work experience at Manga Entertainment's UK Headquarters in the 90's. Don't worry. They did give me some good stuff also.

Huh... half the clips of this seem like it was animated by the people who did Totally Spies or Galaxy High...

I got two korean based anime from two separate periods: Armaggedon, based on a manwha, which was pretty much so bad it's good. And Wonderful Days (or sky blue for the butchered version), which is a much more modern title, and that I like quite a lot.

I peeped that page of Breaker: New Waves! ! Loved that Manwa. Was pissed when it went on hiatus.

So I gotta ask... Is Gabe looking like Seamus from Family Guy except with 2 eye patches now, did you leave him as a stump, or put out of his misery, because we don't(or at least I) don't see him in the videos anymore, or anyone really, which were some of my favorite parts of your videos, the interaction between you all was good.

Holy Shit Bennett ! I used to watch you on channel awesome, this is the first video of your that i saw on youtube. it was very funny and you look fantastic!

So now I really want to see animated fake Superbowl ad of Bruce Wayne saying "I'm not Batman" in the I-gargled-gravel voice. Thanks for that.

Godspeed sage for that birdman reference

I'm really loving the new intro very nice.

I need to redo my dark hawk comics collection one more time. With issue 34.

New intro looks great man!

2:10 To be fair to Korean authorities, they had very good reason to be mistrusting of Japanese media, having been occupied by Japan for decades, and forced to teach an entirely fictionalized pro-Japan history in their public schools. Japan's propaganda didn't just stop there. Many forms of media were rounded up and burned by Japanese forces, to be replaced with pro-Japanese re-education material. Not exactly an honorable point in Japan's history..

Engineer you did a awesome ass intro brother

Remember, it's not just anime that is made in Korea, plenty of US animation is, too. Hell, I half expected the big reveal to be that they had yoinked from Batman TAS, I know for a fact that was mostly animated in Korea. But really, I can't exactly condemn them, they basically pulled a Disney. Back in the day, Disney famously re-used animation in multiple films, basically just tracing new characters over old cels.

Wow didn't expect to see this thing on this channel... btw the original comics of this animation is still going....

""Heeeey, Steeeeve."

What happened to your Little Nemo video?

I really miss the videos Sage and Gabe used to make about the WWE PayPer Views....has anyone seen Gabe recently?

You should really do more Joseph Lei movies. Just get a cardboard cut out of Spoony and you're set ^^

I like this movie. I finally saw it due to KZfaq. The box art was what got me wanting to see this

Love the new intro 😍

Feels more like a Kenshin rip-off to me.

Bennett would you be interested in reviewing the Highlander anime movie? It seems it's a movie that not a lot of people are talking about and would be perfect for your show

Too bad Sage only reviews dubbed anime. I would love to see him review Sakigake!! Otokojuku

Could have been worse, could have been Roman

*barely any info on it online* *has wendee lee and steve blum* wtf???? how?

9:00 -- I think that's a deleted scene from LEGO BATMAN.

oh man wasn't expecting this but am glad we got it anyway

3:49 "It is a good day to do what has to be done by me to help my brother to defeat the enemies!" 7:35 Huh, Sailor Jupiter's cosplay leaves a lot to be desired.

*Smashing that button!*

something i noticed about the animation is how flowy it feels to anime. instead just mouth flaps, the character at least move a bit more. guess that what happens when outsourced studios do their own works. rubs off on ya.

bennet doesn't own zeta gundam I just stream now. I did get a copy of Gundam F 91 though. Seabook Arno.
