God….. diatron 5′s theme makes Yor’s World theme look like a work of a genius.

Daniel Thomas Stack

What are you implying about Yor’s World? Sure it was Repetitive but I always liked that theme.

  I just saying the band that made the Yor’s World actually put effort into their theme.

17:10 I thought that before they sent the heroes into the Girl Genius’s body the doctors said that she was infected with a bacteria, not a virus. Maybe the red empire are the bacteria from the bullet, and the Cthulu thing is a completely unrelated viral infection.

I was rooting for the invading force because I wanted to see them go through the immigration office when they conquered the earth. I think that it is the earth but I am not sure.

Anton Vykers

Wait, wasn’t there an entire series about a team of kids who had some kind of spaceship and a robot buddy and they fought illnesses by shrinking and going inside the patient’s body and actuallty torpedoing the germs?..
Anyway, great review!

Great review, Spoony! Good to see you back.

Anyway, if their girl genius has been shot, why don’t they just get another one?

Judging from the quality of the animation, I think that their budget wasn’t big enough to afford the license.

The random Dr. Insano aside cracked me up. Rocket-powered Segway! All the ladies love a dude on a scooter that can go from 0-60 in less than five seconds. Helmet? He don’t need no stinkin’ helmet!

What an awful, awful anime. I thought I’d seen some shit in my day, but that… that was just… Bad. Very very bad.

Also, creepy!Bennett was hilarious. “Spoonyyyyy…!”

Wow. I’ve never thought a movie could hurt me just by watching it.

Okay, seeing the robot repeatedly boot the girl in the ass was hilarious. I was able to enjoy that! All it was missing was a knife-chop to the throat.

I also especially loved the transition between Spoony’s dramatic screaming to his squealing whimpering. I nearly choked on my food at that point early on (I really need to quit eating while watching these videos).

And I honestly thought Sage was going to hold Oreo hostage at the opening. Luckily the dog was safe from everything about this movie.

You enjoyed that? It felt like I was watching a child sexually assault his own mother.

I think Black Lantern Burton will be in my nightmares more than the robot though. Am I the only one who notices the shocking new coat of paint on the website?

By the way, down with SOPA. But you already knew that.

If you mean hilarious in the sense that, “oh my god, they actually added this scene thinking it would be funny or entertaining!?” then yeah I’m with you.

If you mean hilarious in the sense that “HAHAHAHA a women is getting kicked in the ass!” then nah, not with you on that.

Anonymous

So… her body has been taken over by the violent Red Empire. Does that mean she is PMSing? If that is the case, it is probably the best allegory for the workings of a human body the movie has. And that is flat-fucking terrifying.
Also, am I imagining this, or is the robot voiced by the masked bomb-tossing mercenary
from Garzey’s Wing? I guess his King Lear audition didn’t work out.

As a final note, I want to confirm that the Girl Genius webcomic is awesome. I’m
convinced that Dr. Insano is a powerful Spark who got stranded in our dimension when he was playing around with some sort of portal technology. Go check it out. NOW!

I love Space Thunder Kids. It has the same “so bad it’s hilarious” thing going that Zombie 90 has.

Lol, Gomer Pyle? He sounded more like Lurkey from Rainbow Brite. & the robot has a Marvin the Martian thing going on.

Sadly nowhere near the worst dubbing I’ve ever heard, but it is pretty funny, like when that Spock guy went “Whaaaat?”

Wow that was awful…But I was laughing, so I need to see the whole thing.

nmwelsh

I’ll tell you what came to my mind during the robot on woman ass kicking scene. Implied rape. Yeah I went there. If that is infact the joke, classy.

Daniel Thomas Stack

Spoony you need a bit more work on selling a strangle hold. Its not required but if your thumbs are at least touching it makes it allot easier to look like you are cutting off the other persons air without having to put any real pressure into it.

doresh

I think my brain just turned off XD

Why do you need a “girl genius” to keep your planet’s AUTOMATED defense system operable Oo ?

And even if it is not fully automated, what sense does it make to build a defense system operated by a single person?

19:19 – did this guy’s rifle suddenly transformed?

I’m really feeling sorry for poor Spoony. How about something more enjoyable next time, like Korean Hentai-knockoff. Although, looking at this weird ass-kicking-scene, I doubt they’re any better…

brandon fontenot

When you guys started doing these reviews, I was PRAYING youd get to this! Years ago I bought a DVD at a Wal Mart for a dollar. It was called, Space Transformers. It appears to be THIS SAME MOVIE, only shortened and REDUBBED! A lot of that “world in her body” crap was removed and I dont remember those last 2 characters being in it at all. I remember the Crimson army commander getting a ROCKET in the ass at the end though!

Mateusz K.

Why don’t you two never review a good or weird anime? There is so much… you could just review a god awful series which you both hate, or just some weird ass anime series… the old and obscure korean knock-off’s are just that… old and obscure…

This reminds me of the anime that used to run on the shitty local channels and/or Sci-Fi back in the mid-90′s at 2 or 3 in the morning. I still remember thinking that if I had the choice between this and Paid Programming, I’d gladly watch some schmuck monologue on the virtues of the newest iteration of the Ginsu knife.

Woot, another review from you guys! This one was awesome, and it was just in that horrible but funny zone that makes perfect review fodder.

To be honest, the premise actually intrigues me a little bit. If someone actually did this with some competence, it might be kind of interesting. I guess Gunbuster had the same kind of idea with the aliens being galactic antibodies or something, but Gunbuster is also fucking awesome and this doesn’t deserve to be mentioned in the same sentence. But maybe for a long-running sci-fi show, finding a huge entity in the middle of nowhere and fighting anthropomorphized viruses and stuff? Yeah, I could see that working.

John Done

Oh my god! This movie! I was looking for this thing! We watched it in our high school’s Godzilla Club, and I had to keep checking to make sure there wasn’t something spiking our drinks or gassing the air in the room because we couldn’t believe the weird-ass mindfuck on screen. I asked the coordinator where the VHS was some days afterward so I could get the title, and he said the thing somehow vanished. Basically what I’m saying is, this movie is a ghost :o

I think the more likely answer is someone swiped it so they could watch it in the privacy of their own home… while smoking something illegal, probably.

Somewhere in the review of this… movie… I could only utter one word. Why? This is the worst Anime… thing I think I’ve seen.

Well other than that, this was a great review guys! I can’t wait for the next Anime Abandon!

Something so awkward, weird, far out and horrendous… all you have to do is showing a still of The Sage and Spoony is enought!

Hey Spoony! I know this is unrelated to the video, but i wanted to mention something real quick about E3 this year. A LOT of major game reviewing websites and companies are NOT attending or covering E3 this year. The reason is because the Entertainment Software Association has stated that they support SOPA, and thus would be sending the congress the idea that the gaming industry as a whole support SOPA. This is obviously not true. The ESA is the company that runs E3, so in order to protest ESA’s stance on SOPA, many game review websites will not be covering E3, ESA’s biggest revenue source. Here’s a link to a video that could explain it a bit better than i could.

http://penny-arcade.com/patv/episode/stand-together-the-gaming-community-vs-sopa-and-pipa

I would ask that you DON’T attend E3 this year, and instead focus on making more of the extremely high-quality, immensely hilarious videos your known for! ;]
Welcome back Spoonyone! :D

Benjamin Holland

I support this view. Who else?
- Anonymous
  
  I do as well. I’ve told everyone i know about SOPA/pipa and how to look information on it up. I will be telling them about this also. Now, lets just hope that the VGA’s this year are not a laughably stupid pepsi or mountain dew commercial wrapped in a sheet of colorful wrapping paper.
http://www.facebook.com/people/George-Rosenbaum/100001387887487 George Rosenbaum

I think I know why the ESA is doing this. They don’t understand their consumer base.

Just stay with me here: remember when EA made that stupid Dead Space commercial? Remember the stupid Sony commercials with fake CEO ‘Kevin Butler’, when he talked about his games to some teenage black ghetto stereotype?

Yeah, EA and Sony two companies make these awful commercials that only appeal to children, because they think their consumers ARE children. At least in higher management, there’s still this stereotype that they are ‘just making toys’, and they make violent games ‘because kids like violence’.

By the way, did you know that both of these companies support SOPA? After all, if we are just kids, then we aren’t going to pay attention to the politics of their company.

These companies think their consumers are so stupid and removed from politics, that we won’t care if they support a bill like this. Let’s prove them wrong by not watching this years E3 in protest.
- wiliamsn
  
  Much like Nintendo, EA and SONY have not thrown their support behind the SOPA bill. They endorsed a letter to the chamber of commerce in favor of tougher anti-piracy legislation before SOPA was introduced. They never endorsed the SOPA bill, and their names were never on the congressional list of SOPA supporters…
  
  You can find a full list of SOPA supporters here…

      Does the Escapist even have any fucking credibility as a news source?
      
      Yeah, they occasionally make news articles and release trailers and interviews, but it’s buried under metric tons of crap. Why does The Escapist let webcomic artists and “Loading Ready Run” on their website? What they do is barely video game commentary, let alone game journalism.
      
      Oh, and the CEO (Alexander Macris) is completely incompetent. He is the reason The Escapist no longer has Extra Credits. Long story short, he played around with their donation money, and they got fed up with it. So they left to join up with Penny Arcade.

I remeber this being played (or BOTP) On a local tv station in the afternoons on the weekends for 2 hours…this was WAY back in the late 70s. If spoony thinks this is bad, how would he feel if someone was to make a remake of a Clockwork Orange with the vamp from Twilight as Alex? hmmm?

Oh dear god. That was terrible. Early on I was thinking, well it sucks sure… but it’s JUST really incompetent; it’s not like you can’t follow what’s going on… and then they go inside the ‘Girl Genius’.

It even manages to get worse with the mean spirited and sudden ending. What; did they not want to animate the other characters anymore? At least mind fuckery or bad dubbing is funny. (What was that? Kermit the Robot?)

Benzaie already did that.

Um actually no.. Final Fantasy XIII’s combat system was amazing… Autobattle wasn’t implemented to make the combat easier it was made to make the game fast paced numb nuts…

The entire objective of ffxiii’s battle system was to kill each enemy encounter with the lowest possible battle time.. The strategy came in with switching pardigams (which you should be doing every 2 rounds for atb refresh and maximum results).. Discovering the best pardigams to use and when to use them in every unique encounter was what made the battle system so addicting and exciting for true gamers all over the world…

you didnt like the battle system fine but dont sit here and act like there was no depth to it because thats complete bullshit.. espically in comparison to earlier ff games where 95% of the random encounter battles you just take things out with a round of melee or strong magic attacks, and then go in your menu screen every couple battles to heal up.. OOH SO STRATEGIC..

kiss my ass you nostalgic asshole..

lol… True gamers huh? Ohhhh noooo we non-FFXIII-fans are not true gamers??! That hurts man… That really hurts ;(. And here I thought I was the total shit with my gamin’ skills. I guess being a “true gamer” means sitting with my dick in one hand jerkin off to some porn while I play and beat a game using nothing but the X button. Only game I can think of where I’m able to do that though is FFXIII! There’s like so real strategy in that, amarite brah?

  first of all whoops i posted this on the wrong forum by accident.. .Second of all since you decided to respond anyway I will respond back..
  
  You are full of shit.. thats my response.. If you don’t like the game fine but don’t make up lies for your reasoning.. You can’t beat the game by only using the x button it’s just an over exaggeration haters use to try to be funny and undermine an amazing game but fail miserably…
  
  and even if you could beat the game by only using the x button (which you cant.. not passed like chapter 4 anyway) that would mean YOU chose to make the game less engaging, less exciting, and a lot more time consuming.. so who is to blame? YOU ARE IDIOT…
  
  take those damn nostalgia goggles off mutha faka and you and the rest of those “old school ff died at 7″ nerds start recognizing a game for it’s amazing accomplishments..
  
  ffxiii is the best battle system of all time..

    Only a person disturbingly obsessed with the value of the x button would call the FFXIII battle system “the best of all time”.

    I can’t believe I have to say this, but some of you need to stop bitching about the use of the ‘X’ button in FF8. That’s like saying that chess is too easy because ‘all you do is move pieces around’.
    
    No, there are FAR more valid arguments to level against FF8 than that. Junctioning magic, as much freedom as it gave the player, was a huge pain in the ass. And if you wanted to use magic, you had to either draw it, play Triple-Triad (which had terrible, confusing, unfair, frequently unpredictable rules), or card capture opponents (the best option, but still awful).
    
    Now I’m off to go enchant weapons Skyrim, which uses a system that is clearly NOTHING like FF8′s system at all. Now I better ‘card capture’, I mean ‘Soul Trap’ more souls to ‘junction’, I mean ‘enchant’ to my stuff. Weird that my ARMOR never runs out of souls, but weapons need to be recharged every half-hour.
    
    Oh, and fuck Alchemy too. It’s a quick way to make a little money and reduce carry weight, but I don’t think I ever use a ‘Fortify Left-Handed Masturbation” potion. I’ll just keep the Health and Magicka potions. And do we even NEED a lockpick skill if there isn’t a skill barrier to prevent the player from accessing high level locks, like in Fallout 3? And why can’t I make lockpicks from an Iron Ingot? And why do I get as much Smithing experience from forging an Iron Dagger as I would get from forging an Ebony War Axe?

so instead of countering any of my points (which you cant because most are facts) you chose to ramble on and make yourself look like a further idiot..

People on the internet are so easily brainwashed it’s ridiculous… a couple people say something about a game and everyone else just rolls with it.. Look how many people made themselves look like the dumbest assholes on the planet by copying other people and doing those stupid arrow to the knee jokes?

Ok, where do I even begin?

Final Fantasy XIII’s combat system is NOT amazing. It is a cumbersome, broken piece of crap that makes every fight a complete pain in the ass, mostly because of the horrible partner AI.

You will learn very quickly that the only SMART thing to do is to make sure the party leader is the medic or synergist/saboteur in any paradigm, because all the partner AI is good for is attacking constantly. That’s the only thing they won’t screw up, since it requires no forethought whatsoever.

Oh, but I hope you like game overs, because some of the best healers in the game are also the frailest members of your team, and if the party leader dies, it’s instant game over, even if there are other members of your team that could revive them. (Just… why? In a game that gives you resurrection spells because they EXPECT you to die at times, this is just retarded…)

So the game seems to encourage you to set the CPU allies to be medics, and God forbid you actually do, because you will die, a lot. They have almost no concept of priority when it comes to healing, and cannot adapt to situations where multiple party members need to be healed. Rather than dropping just two or three cure spells on someone so they can get heals to the rest of the party faster, they will wait for the ATB to fill out and drop as many heals on that person as possible. While this is happening, the rest of you team is usually dying.

Set the CPU to be your synergist and they will waste time casting protect when you are fighting enemies that can only use magic attacks, or shell against primarily physical attackers. It’s like playing World of Warcraft with a ten year old who can’t read and has no idea what his spells actually do, and just casts them because they look cool.

So you really have two choices. Try to formulate the most sensible decisions by choosing your moves carefully (and waste valuable time doing so), or just keep hitting auto attack and hope your teammates don’t do something retarded. None of the other FF games have made it this hard to get your teammates to do what you want them to, and in a game series with an emphasis around combat strategy, this is infuriating and totally unforgivable.

The notion that “killing each enemy encounter as fast as possible” is the most backwards, counter-intuitive idea I have ever seen put into an RPG. It means that most of the time, the best paradigm strategy is to load out with 3 attackers and just mash attack. Even if two of your party members are dead by the end of the battle, and the leader barely clinging to life, “CONGRATULATIONS! 5 stars, perfect battle strategy, just because you killed them really fast. Here’s full health again with no negative repercussions.”

Auto-battle may have been introduced to make the game fast paced, but its interesting to note that other FF games had fast paced combat that required you to make combat choices that weren’t just “keep attacking” (FFX-2 even got this right). What they’ve done by including the auto-attack is create a game that plays itself. The only “strategy” in the paradigm system is: Keep your offensive paradigm out until you’re low on health, switch to healing and buffs (while hoping to God the AI makes the right buff choices), then back to offense. Rinse and repeat.

I’ve nothing against anyone that enjoyed the combat in this game. I’m just utterly baffled as to how anyone could. The combat system in the older games was not perfect and had its share of pointless busy work, but at least I actually got to think about stuff, and DO something. I really do not see how you can call it “the best combat system ever” with a straight face.

Is it just me or did Spoony seem like he really didn’t want to bother with this crossover? Not just in an in-character sense.

I remember the cartoon title being translated to Serbian something like Transformers Svemira (Transformers of the universe (no joke)), my friend’s mom rented it from the video store for our play date. Never actually thought that I’ll see it again. The ways of the Internet are mysterious indeed!

Why is the sound so damned aweful? It sounds like someone recorded the dialog and music with a cheap Wal Mart tape recorder and an even cheaper microphone that, then, had the headphone jack plugged into the microphone jack on a computer and recorded with fucking Audacity.

http://www.facebook.com/people/George-Rosenbaum/100001387887487 George Rosenbaum

I just downloaded Audacity with the hopes of making a video in the future.

As far as I can tell, the interface is pretty bad. The buttons are way too small, and in weird places. It’s like trying to close windows in Ubuntu, missing the button by a few pixels, and clicking on something else by mistake.

But there isn’t anything wrong with the sound. I can eventually get used to a weird interface, but as long as it eventually does the job right, I’m happy.

I really hope the next review either of you guys make is of something you like, otherwise I’m afraid we might lose you both.

Sweet Jesus that was awful.

Korean animation in the 1980s was like Japanese animation in the 1950s, all choppy and chintzy-looking. The spastic voice acting didn’t help either.

As for the story, it could be explained that they went into another dimension, but they state that they injected the two derpy heroes and the derp-bot into the girl, so none of that crap made any sense. Bennett needs to get out of the cartoon ghetto.

Poor Spoony. Being forced to do this by the Sage. He’s one creepy guy.

robinhood9961

Axis and Allies good game spoony. (and yes i did notice that game all the way in the corner eyes of a hawk.)

The_Hyphenator

I always look forward to your crossovers with Sage, Spoony. You two play off of each other very well. This one was particularly hilarious; all the hyperbolic descriptions were incredibly apt, and I loved the intro and outro bits.

I’d say do more videos together but honestly, I think part of what makes your collaborations fun is that they don’t happen often. They’re occasional treats that would lose their significance if they took place more than once a year. Kind of like Christmas.

Also, I’m pretty sure you would run out of shitty Korean anime to rip into if you did this all the time. :-)

does anyone else think spoony is better than nostalgia critic

http://profile.yahoo.com/C5GOQAZXMIGVXZJAVFHRR5U7RI Yang Zhiwen

I agree to a point. It’s a lot more than just saying that Walker is a better reviewer than Antwiler.
To me, in terms of overall quality, the Nostalgia Critic series is better than The Spoony Experiment. But that’s just if you look at them as a whole.
Spoony, in my opinion, is a more memorable and outstanding guy who, whether you love him or hate him, never fails to make an impression on his viewers. The Critic is also awesome in his own way, but at times Spoony outshines him in the reviewer/entertainer department.
To sum this up, if TGWTG had yearly awards like the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Doug Walker would be Performer Of The Year while Noah Antwiler would be Most Outstanding Performer.
As for Best Technical Performer…I think I’ll pick Brad Jones.
Conclusion, Spoony in some ways is better than the Critic, but that dosen’t mean that his episodes/reviews are always better.
- http://hyperbolicfilmrant.blogspot.com/ sekiwat
  
  I feel the opposite is true. It seems like Spoony’s reviews have a lot more quality to the jokes than Doug’s, but it takes him 10 times longer to make them. Doug Walker is consistent and professional in that he manages to work within a very short deadline, but because of that he’s had to sacrifice a ton of quality. The critic’s managed to develop a formula that’s allowed him to create reviews very quickly, but as a consequence a lot of his jokes are either reused or just aim for cheap laughs.But to his credit, The Nostalgia Critic is a much more well defined character since The Nostalgia Critic actually is a character, whereas Spoony is just Noah playing himself.

Loved every part. I gotta say some parts had really good jokes and lines from both Sage and spoony. they really play off each other really well, kinda like Linkara with Spoony and Brad with spoony except Sage is creepier than anyone I’ve seen :P
