This man is 3 vhs tapes away from literally getting cursed by ghosts

That Wikipedia article didn’t even spell the name right, so that makes it a half sentence of wrong information.

"Oh and spoliers for this anime that no one on planet earth besides me is ever going to watch" dude, you've spent almost 50% of the video hyping this anime. now, i want to watch it too

It's pretty sad how ignorant Japanese publishers are to preserving the accessability of old media. Most anime never got a rerun and a lot were never physically released and even IF they find their way online, they get taken down by copyright strikes immediately.

We seriously need an anime museum for all those lost animes out there, once one is found it is to be recorded on modern mediums and the original tape put in glass display, in few decades some anime will be lost forever and might not be obtainable anymore.

Kenny you are the Indiana Jones of your field. Future Anime historians owe you immensely my friend.

I need more anime of girls in modest school uniforms not being ecchi in any way, only badass and maybe blood thirsty.

Dude you literalyy just SAVED an anime from being lost forever, you got my respect

I feel bad for the animators who animate this lost anime.

You or the VHS owner should really digitalize that tape before it’s too late.

Tbh there needs to be a highly publicized lost media recovery project where people can mail their tapes in to some archive group to have them recorded and put online, then sent back to the owners if wanted or kept in a physical archive maybe. I hate to think of how much media we lose every year

It's really heartwarming to find this on anime sites now, even with subs! Every piece of media that can be archived on the internet should be, it'd be such a waste to let people's work be completely lost, like this tape was in danger of being. The internet won't last forever either, but at least it's a step up from degrading physical copies.

Kenny: I'll never get to see this, I give up, its over. Some random anime fairygodmother: borrow my vhs bro

Anime pirates take notice, I want this.

It may be "outdated" but I'll always look at these kinds of 80s-90s animation with nostalgic glee 😢👍

Wait school girl battle shonen delinquent style this is a thing that sounds amazing

“This genre only I like” *61.3K people would like to disagree*

Kenny, we're all friends here. You don't have to make up a story about some "mysterious benefactor donating the tape". We all know you stole it from someone's rare anime salt mine

Shout out to the guy who sent you the VHS tapes! Lost media is an eerie void so I'm happy that it was found! I think though that if the media never gained popularity or positive acclaim then it will fade into existence. For example, this anime was a fad and although the fad became big, the anime was not good. I think most lost media are lost because it never gained any profit or popularity to warrant the merchandise. This doesn't mean media should become lost by any means but just why it does.

This reminds me of those few "Blockbuster update" versions of Clayfighter 63 1/3rd which basically had a patch to allow for another character and some balance adjustments, but because it was a "Blockbuster only" title meant for rental only, it was never sold or produced in quantities.

“Spoilers for an anime literally no one else will watch” well then un-lost the footage my man. Put it up.

YOU the person that sent the vhs to Kenny, you're the mvp. Just wanted to point that out incase they look at this video lol.

Just watched it on KZfaq and I love this! Never knew this genre existed! Thank you for introducing this! I must watch the live action series and binge read the manga. This is my new addiction.

I don't know how I ended up watching this video, but I'm hooked!

Message to the person who lend it to Kenny: Rip the show if you are able to and put it on the internet. It wont be so lost and obscure anymore. If enough people start looking for this piece the rights owner might even rerelease it or something!

kenny lauderdale: "so unless i physically go to japan..." nick robinson: go on

Seeing this lost anime is like opening an Egyptian tomb

I miss old anime like this! It's one of the reasons why I started going to conventions in the early 2000's.

Man that’s so cool to see lost footage of this! I kinda wish you had uploaded the whole thing so we could all see it.

Kenny: "Unless I physically go to Japan..." Nick Robinson: "So I booked a flight to Japan to find the rarest Anime OVA in existence."

PLEASE whoever owns this VHS tape, PLEASE UPLOAD THIS ANIME IF YOU CAN!!!! I LOVE GIRLS IN LONG SKIRTS KICKING ASS AND I WANNA SEE THE REST OF THIS SO BAAAAAD!!!!!!!!!!

I'm in awe, it doesnt get more hipster than this. And I'm not even really into anime, I just find your storytelling captivating :)

Everyone else: *jUsT uSe GoOgLe AnD wHaTeVeR yOu ArE lOoKiNg FoR wIlL bE oN tHe FiRsT pAgE* This man: I beg to differ

I always giggled when my grandma would watch random picker shows about obscure finds of things she wanted when she was a little girl, and now here I am.

At this point, you should be leading the Saki Sanobashii case

Man, I wish this was on DVD. I'd love to see it in its entirety.

Me: KZfaq Recommendations at 3 AM: Some dude passionately losing his absolute SHIT about a random anime no one has or will ever think about or see I laughed the whole way through. All the best man

kenny: "hard to find anime" me: "ok i wanna see it"

10:17 Kenji Kawai's work is all over the place at this point. The dude is one hell of a composer, among his many, MANY works he created and scored all of the music for the six part documentary series "Apocalypse: World War 2" kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fZ9pfbyBprOyZ2g.html - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pKqSoa6i27SUpZc.html - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/g7d4jNV7u93TmHU.html - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gs-ba6uB2KzPmZc.html

You are a legend of a researcher. This anime looks amazing honestly but Im a sucker for 1980s anime. Appreciate you doing what you do and making this video

8:15 All the "Future Funk"/"Lo-fi" channels boutta have a field day

Kenny's bizarre internet adventure: The lost media Thank you kenny and the good samaritan who lend out the vhs so this piece of art won't lost forever. Didn't know Shiki and Kagura make cameo in this anime :p

Bro great vid always love how you're so dedicated to retro and 80s Japanese stuff, don't blame ya, it was truly too amazing, keep doing whatchu do bro love it 🙏🙏😍😍

Man, you're doing God's work digging out these hidden anime treasures. I hope you can find out what happened to Chironupp no Kitsune and why this anime never got any home media releases. Originally shown in theaters in 1987 it only aired on TV a few times up till early 90's and since then it disappeared completely. At least we have someone's low quality VHS recording of it available for download so it's not completely lost, but there's also a picture book release with high quality screenshots from the anime and it always frustrates me that we'll never see the film in quality as good as those pics.

When you reviews or did a research about lost animes like these, I keep reminded of the lost JoJo's BIzzare Adventure 2007 Phantom Blood Movie... Apparently everyone is looking for it right now.

The Library of Alexandria, that's what pops up in my head when I see these animations disappear, lost in time.

Kenny you're in the Wikipedia page of the anime because of your attempts to find this anime. Kenny you're in history. Kenny-

Wow. I'm VERY surprised the manga is still goin on. I love stuff like this, thank you for going above and beyond to show this to the world.

I have a college friend from Osaka who is the world's biggest fan of this. I watched several episodes just because i wanted to see what he was talking about. There is a good chance he has a tape of this if it exists here in Japan

Well, I guess now we have to wait for someone else to find a second tape and actually rip it so that we would be able to watch this. Until it's leaked online, it's still in the danger of being lost.

The concept of someone being the #1 target of competing gangs, and being oblivious for a while to that entire thing, is actually pretty awesome.

Id actually love to watch this series! Anime or regular TV show!

Old Anime: **Made by Toei* Fans of Saint Seiya, DBZ, and Sailor Moon: *The anime is gone, reduced to atoms.*

“This genre that pretty much only I like where schoolgirls with long skirts and bad attitudes duke it out” *Stands by you* No, you are not alone.

It’s a shame when lost media ends up being forgotten to time and especially one that holds up really well. Glad it was found and if a laser disc version actually does exist, Ferb, I know what we’re gonna do today.

this video reminds me of the “Nintendo character with zero search results” video

It's nice to see a lost piece of history being covered and dug into This is why I turn that notification bell on for your channel

Kenny you have to post this show online. It's the only way to keep it from being lost media.

Making lost media unlost is such a heroic thing 🙂

Random Trivia! Kenji Kawaii also composed music for some parts of Ranma 1/2, which had a character named Ukyou Kuonji who was also voiced by Hiromi Tsuru.

Hot damn dude... At this point you're either blessed or cursed by forgotten anime old gods... And well, at least it was worth it :3 And not gonna lie, I've seen a lot of your videos about lost media first only then to find the Mangas, screenshots and other media appear a couple of days after... So I think you're doing a great job in bringing this media back into the spotlight...

so like clearly you did a digital rip of that vhs, any chance youre gonna share your findings with the class?

Watching this channel about lost media feels a lot like what me and my sister did as kids when we dug through the vhs tape collection under our tv cabinet. It was always an adventure where we dug through films that haven't seen the light of day in decades probably. Ultimately watching this like watching my parents wedding video, fascinating to find and not realizing what is available.

Y después de ver este vídeo, me asalta la pregunta... ¿Cuantos animes se habrán perdido para siempre? 😱

Please, for the love of God, put a download or torrent for this somewhere online. We need this.

Thank you for bringing in these lost anime films. The 80s was the golden age of anime. For purposes of learning and appreciation, I'm looking forward to your future features.

Hey Kenny - I'm a huge fan of Hana no Asukagumi and the other series in it's vein. Been collecting for years, and bought the CD soundtrack of Lonely Cats Battle Royale last time I was in Tokyo. I thought I was the only one who even cared about these shows, in all their formats, so just wanted to thank you for finally discovering this fantastical tidbit of the anime lost!

weirdly enough, people have somehow managed to find the tape and sub it. Heck, it`s already out on youtube, all thanks to your video, It`s really easy to find it here too.

You're doing the lord's work. I constantly prowl for anime VHS tapes online, at thrift stores, and flea markets. There's nothing like the classic stuff. Unfortunately some of the more obscure stuff that was at one point posted on KZfaq has been purged by copyright claims. Thanks so much for making this video.

I believe there needs to be re-introductions to lost anime that people probably never heard of.

This animes looks interesting I like to see a remake like Dororo I’m kinda sick of high school ecchi I hate them

Young woman kicks a leg up on a park bench, lights a cigarette and takes a snort of whiskey from a flask; "being 14 is tough".

This sort of "lost" stuff certainly should be archived on the interwebs. Shared to fan-subbers and spread across the globe .

Please bro, just ask the guy who lent you the VHS for the permission to share it. I can't be the only one that really wants to watch the OVA entirely!!!

This makes my heart cry. I'm 37 now. Feeling my age. Feeling... Nostalgic got these kinds things.

I love your dedication to anime Please continue

"I don't know how KZfaq actually works these days" Neither does KZfaq.

Kenny is the god for us lost media lovers. Something about being unable to watch something is really eerie. Like a house in your old town being gone when you come back for a visit.

Him: "An anime that hasn't be seen for 30 years." Me: "Ah, so from 1970s" Hana no Asuka Gumi 2 - Lonely Cats Battle Royal: 23-03-1990 Me: "Oh shit."

"Good Luck Trying To Watch This" That sounds like a challenge

Never Stop Uploading Kenny.

So...are you gonna upload the anime so everyone can watch or not

Watching this gives me shivers! I feel like I'm watching someone making (anime) history! Steppint where none ever stepped before! Watching what no human eye has ever witnessed! I feel great :D

Your dedication to the craft is recognised and lauded

This whole ordeal sound like Kenny make a pact with Satan

I am truly honoured to be one of the first 1400 people to see this anime in 30 years. Also delinquent girls is my new favourite. Thing.

4:17 "Unless I PHYSICALLY go to Japan" *Nick Robinson intensifies*

Very interesting. It's incredible that so many anime that hasn't been seen in years, that you were able to get the only copy in existence. I'm surprised that there was a live action version of it.

Your channel got me into checking out the Sukeban sub-genre. It’s a lot of fun. Thanks for your contribution to the anime community, Kenny.

[Sees Sticker labeled "King's Road."] You bought this tape from All-Japan Pro Wrestling?

I can not get enough of the summaries of old anime, keep up the informative work!

I'm a movie collector, and I share your joy at finding an impossible rarity. I finally, after 15 years, found a copy of a musical movie that hasn't been released or exhibited since the early 1970's as it''s been the centre of an acrimonious copyright dispute between the studio that produced it, and the family of the composer of the original stage musical. In another case, i spent ten years seeking before finding a copy of a movie that was thought to have been completely lost in a studio film vault fire. Having the movie is only half the fun of collecting. The hunt, and the final rush when the hunt is successful, That's a huge part of the enjoyment for me. The longer the hunt, the bigger the rush of success. Oh, and I found both the anime's subtitled on Nyaa in the 12 minutes I've been watching this vid. Thank you for all your leg-work, it's GREATLY appreciated, One collector to another. It wouldn't be available NOW if you hadn't put all your hard work into finding it for us. Once found [if the film is free of copyrights] then it is VERY desirable that it be spread as far and as widely as possible into other collections so it can never be lost again.

Looks like Langley Soryu is now the second most bad-ass Asuka in anime.

THIS is why I subscribed to kenny lauderdale! Only he can find this stuff!

ok but the girl that plays her in that live action u keep showing is kinda hot oops

It's on KZfaq now. Both the animated movies are now

I LOVE your dedication to the lost and obscure. I've watched enough of your videos now that I get recommended on my home page even though I wasn't subscribed. So I subscribed! 😊 I can't wait to see whatever lost media you drag back for our viewing pleasure. Cheers!!!

Why haven't you uploaded it to any piracy sites or elsewhere for us to download and watch for ourselves? It's still lost media until you do that. You doing a video or one person having it in their collection doesn't change that. It's still lost for everybody else.

You are the only anime youtuber I can stand. Love your work! Do you tackle manga?
