the Japanese ships were not equip with radar so even if it was a big ship that just makes it a bigger target for enemy air craft but we could argue hypothetically about shit all day so lets just end it now
as stated before in other comments this is not all SBY footage....@1:30 that footage is (IIRC) from the Read Or Die OVA @ 0:24 that actually IS SBY Footage just a bit tricky to find because it's like trailer/special feature footage 0:54 is clearly SBY so I assume you mean just after that scene at 0:54 which is Space Pirate Captain Herlok til about 1:00 and at 1:07 the guys being rescued is from Neon Genesis Evangelion hope that answers your question.
Whats the Anime with a Modern US fleet In it and a US Nimitz Class carrier in it at 1:30 also how come some of these SBY clips ive never seen before? 0:240:54 - 1:001:07 ect Are they from Season 3 or somthing?
just a fact the main reason the Bismark was so scary is because it's 1st shot went down the barrel of another battleship and sunk it i one shot. I Think
@thedictatorfan Actually the Hood was hit several times the fatal hit was to the main powder magazine. At 25,000 yards a shot down the barrel of the Hoods gun would have been next to impossible.
This is truly a great video, as I've commented on once before....................... For all those here at You Tube "Who Don't Have Anything Good To Say About It, Don't say Anything At All"!!!!!................... And Go To Some Damn Political Posting and Vent but, stay away from us fun loving Otaku and Historian's!!!!!!
@seen92 no I don't "get it, got it, good" the song happens to be old. that doesn't make it "predictably lame for what's supposed to be an amv" This song is what MAKES this AMV. Seems to me you don't have a clue when it comes to AMV's Space Battleship Yamato is an excellent show for it's time and the footage can be used with this song to tell the story of the story of the Bismark. so whats the problem? you just don't like the song? Suggest a better song then that tells this story.
@ViewtifulM Starcruiser Yamato and her crew is playing the Bismark. From Starblazer's ( Starcruiser Yamato ), Read or Die, Kamikaze Stories, and Neon Genesis Evangelion depicts very well what happened to the Bismark. From destroying the Hood (Capt. Herlock's Ship), getting its rudder jammed from Fairey Swordfish Torpedo Planes ( TBF Avenger's from Kamikaze Stories ),HMS King George 5th & Rodney blasting her (Iowa Class Ships from Neon Genesis). you should watch "History Channel" more often.
@narutofightindreamer I just thought it was a rather odd song to use in an amv. Not that I didn't understand it. It is not like it is the most well known song, and certainly not one that I expected to hear.
talk about supperiour crew. the only thing the jap crew was better at was staying in port. firepower, supperiour yes, ut more inaccurate too. with some 15(something like that) the bismarck gained 6 hits in the battle of denmark strait. 2 on hood and 4 on prince of wales. that is accurate for guns that were guided not by radar(as that was knoked out by bismarcks own guns before the battle) and you cant call yamato the best cause she never faced her own kind.
just read a glorious way to die and see what it took to sink the yamato!! several air strikes,20 torpedos and hours of heavy gunfire,i really doubt the enterprise by herself could have accomplished it...
@MagC5768 The USS Enterprise wasn't quite complete yet by this date. It would've had to be the Original Lexington or Saratoga for a carrier. I still think it would've been very intersting to see the North Carolina or the Colorado against the Bismark..........
@Weemancake FYI The creator of this video (that would be me) happens to be an "americunt" so you can shut the f#ck up... and if you chose not to play nice you will get blocked. and all your posts removed.
@Weemancake , you are obviously quite stupid by labeling this as "americunt propaganda" because firstly your language and terminology shows that my two year old niece acts more mature than you, the second reason is that this song isn't American. Yes it is made by Johnny Horton, an American musician...about the British fleet fighting the German ship, the Bismark.
Now please shut up and go away unless you plan on saying something intelligent about this. I happen to like this particular video.

4: How am i not "properly" filling out answers to questions? It seems dont know shit about anything so i can just go on and on with answers because you might aswell have asked.
@kapparomeo Just talking ship against ship! The yamato is my favorit ship both original and the space battleship.The bizmarck was specaal in her own right...
@Briselance And your point is?? The bismark was sunk quick! The yamato on the other hand took forever not counting the torpedeos,bombs etc....Just pointing out the yamato was a superior ship!!!
The Bismarck was sunk quick ?! The first attack was launched in the afternoon of the 26th of may 1941, with the Bismarck being sunk at about 10H00 am on the 27th. Do you call it quick ?
Not to mention the fact that the German sailors scuttled their ship before trying to get to the life-boats, which explained why she sank quickly. And what about the British ships that fired at the Bismarck ? All the R.N. ships available at that time were sent into the fight.
@Briselance Lol!! its obvious you like the bismark and i the Yamato! We could debate this forever,they were both powerful battlewagons that ruled the seas for a time!! cheers.....
"Lol!! its obvious you like the bismark and i the Yamato! We could debate this forever,they were both powerful battlewagons that ruled the seas for a time!! cheers...."
@USMarineRifleman0311 yes we did. but it took us over 40 bombs and 30 torpedo's to do so. and lost several planes in the process (cuz thats all that was used to destroy yamato. dont remember the number of planes lost) dont discredit it. it died as it wanted to, fighting to the last moment
@warhawk9566 Precisely. It's been a long time since America has had an enemy that challenged us like Japan did. The Japanese Empire was poised to launch an invasion of mainland America, even, though it was ruled as too costly and dangerous due to the prospect of civilian militia opposition. In the end, our enemies fought and died for the same reason we did: they loved their nation and hated her enemies.
@ZakkLamm they didnt hate america many japanese soldiers loved america or at least didnt hate it and thought a war was a bad idea. but they would rather defend thier nation and their families in their nation than stay in america or stay at home and not help whatsoever. and japan wouldnt have invaded mainland us cuz they didnt want the land. they just wanted asia (china, korea, indochina) and the pacific ocean and islands. they had several chances to take alaska but never did.
Actually well after the Bismark was sunk America built the IOWA class Battleships. each of which which is easily outclassed the Bismark. also the Japanese, tho not allied, had the Yamato class Battleships which with their 18 inch guns would have torn the Bismark up as well. I appreciate your undying love for one of your motherlands crowning achievements however FACTS cannot simply be discarded simply because you wish they were not true.
because it's not supposed to be about the sinking of the Yamato it's about the Sinking of the Bismark.... If you actually took the time to pay attention to the video (INCLUDING THE SONG LYRICS) you would have known that....
@Praetonia to answer your question...this Anime was made before the Yamato's remains were discovered, so they didn't know she was in pieces yet. And, like many wrecks, people like to believe they are still intact, with only minor damage. look at anything about Titanic made before she was found, and you'll see what i mean. plus, the story required the Yamato to be in one piece, so what the hey.
Wait, something is confusing me. The space Yamato movies all take place in the future, right? Yet how are American Iowa class battleships, Nimitz class carriers and Avenger torpedo bombers involved? I dont get it.
actually most of the carrier footage is from "Read Or Die" not "Evangelion" but that's just being nit picky tho there IS one sequence with the carrier from Eva... i think you are really thinking WAY more into this than you really need to be.
umm this video is telling the story of a WWII battle not some epic space battle... listen to the words of the song it clearly starts out...
In May of 1941 the war had just begun. The Germans had the biggest ship that had the biggest guns. Etc Etc... It's screative editing to make the footage all look like the epic sea battle that resulted in the sinking of the bismark.
Starship Yamato as the "Bismark"........The Iowa Class Battleship's as the "King George 5th & the Rodney".........TBF Avenger Torpedo Planes as the "Fairey-Swordfish"........The bad guy from R.O.D. as "Prime Minister Winston Churchill".......
churchill is from read or die as well as many of the other naval scenes... there are also some clips from Neon Genesis Evangelion. if you want to know a specific clip ask me (providing a time marker) and i can tell you where it's from
Outstanding. You are proof that Johnny Horton is still cool after all these years and that his music can be used in such a way as you have here. Excellent work. 5 stars and faved.
Bismark: played by the Starcruiser Yamato.........HMS Hood: played by Captain Herlock's Ship..........HMS King George 5th & Rodney: played by the Iowa Class..........Fairey Swordfish Torpedo Planes: played by the TBF Avenger's...........Oh yes and the Villain from "Read Or Die": playing Prime Minister "Sir Winston Churchill"
Patton, McAurther, Yamamoto, Rommel, they were indeed ancient warriors in their honor and thought, but shoved into a modern version of Imperialism. That sadly shouldn't have still been around ( imperialism that is ). And sadly still very much does exist to this day.
I can imagine this did indeed surprise you a little. It certainly would me. I wonder if many of the folks watching your video and commenting know who "Johnny Horton" was prior to this. I hope them watching this will inspire them to look up other works by Horton. And read into his truly intriguing and somewhat sceary life of being pre-destined for such a violent death and short life. Despite the fact that he was a clean living gentleman, who shyed away from drugs, booze, and womanizing.
the footage comes mostly from Starblazers AKA Space Battleship Yamato however there is also footage from R.O.D ova, Neon Genesis Evangellion, Elfen Lied, my neighbor totoro, and space pirate capt harlock... I think that's it... so there ya go...
The only thing ol' Johnny Horton left out of the song. Was the part about the old obsolete "Swordfish" Torpedo Planes crippling her by jamming her rudder beyond repair.........We could have "Spike Spiegal" being the pilot of a "Fairey Swordfish" instead of his futuristic one.....They worked a little joke into the climax of "Cowboy BeBop: The Movie" on this one.....The three old guys, "Didn't we sink that Battleship the Bismark in one of these?" "No no you old fool, that was World War II!"
The song lyrics told a surprisingly accurate tale of Bismark. I studied the history of that ship and it happened pretty much like that.
The reason why Bismark was found was because the captain tried to contact Germany and his transmission was intercepted. If they had stayed silent they may have managed to get home undetected.
Bismark was claimed to be unsinkable and was destroyed on his maiden voyage. Sounds familiar?
NCO returns salute smartly. Thank you, I am certainly glad you enjoyed it. i have some more videos in the works and one ready for upload. That video has yet to premiere tho... err at least I don't think it has yet.
I finally got a translation on what you wrote... If I'm not mistaken the song was written as a Propaganda song to illustrate the fact that the Bismark while Impressive and, formidable it was not Invulnerable. Really It required most of the ships and planes to find it more so than to sink it, but it was the symbolism... If it was possible to sink the mighty Bismark than it was also possible to defeat Germany. HUGE for moral of the troops and folks back home. Also makes for a good history song
but the defeat of germany was not an results of taktiks or strategys the only way to win was to overwhelm the germans with mass of soldirs or ships and planes
when I and 5 other guys go to lambaste another person
who i am then ? An Hero or an coward ?
We heafe lost the War and i think it was good. but i dont like things they never happened
I agree to an extent. Patton was no joke on the battlefield...
tho I have the highest respect for Rommel. One of the greatest battlefield commanders ever. Omaha and (I believe) Utah beaches were the best defended at Normandy. Their defenses were both designed by Rommel.
If many people suffer at the hand of one man. Then are not many people saved, by killing one man? Is this not a true case of the sword that kills is the sword that gives life?
Patton wanted to fight Rommel tank to tank (I think), like ancient warriors as Aquilles & Hector to minimize casualties in their battle. That was a very chivalrious & romantic idea that never came to pass, fortunally for Patton (I could have put my money on Rommel on that one given the better German tanks at the time). Imagine if Bush and Bin Laden had metg for individual combat to end the War of Terror, not the most exciting main event to end this stupid war they both started/ made worse.
Das ist kein britisches Lied. Vom Akzent her klingt's eher amerikanisch.
Und was heißt hier peinlich? Mal hat man Glück, manchmal nicht. Mit der Hood hatten die Briten keins ... mit der Bismarck guckten dann wenig später halt die Deutschen dumm in die Röhre. So läuft's nun mal im Krieg.
Ihre ganze Marine ist wohl ein bißchen übertrieben. Und peinlich ist es so oder so nicht. Die Briten wollten eben nichts dem Zufall überlassen. Deshalb schickten sie alles los, was zu dem Zeitpunkt verfügbar war. Hätten die Deutschen genauso gemacht.
"gibts auch lieder über die bombadierung von dresden ?"
Keine Ahnung. Aber was hat Dresden mit der Bismarck zu tun?
Und da das hier ein englischsprachiger Thread ist, sollten wir in Zukunft vielleicht lieber beim Englischen bleiben. Du siehst, ich bin schon einmal darauf angesprochen worden.
Yes, of course ... apologies. SUPERCORVETTE remarked that it is quite embarrassing for the Brits that they had to sail the 'entire navy' just to sink one German battleship, and that this must mean that the Royal Navy isn't quite so invincible after all ... to which I replied that there is nothing embarrassing about the fact that the Brits left nothing to chance and that, given a similar situation, the Germans would have done exactly the same.
Yes, we're all well aware that the ship featured at the begining is indeed "The Yamato". We need not to be told this obvious fact. But, I do indeed compliment you on your knowlwdge of the two ships specs.... Yamato is playing the role of the Bismark.... Missouri and Iowa are playing thye role of the King George 5th and Rodney.....Captain Harlock's ship is filling in for the Hood......and last but not least the TBF Avenger Torpedo planes are playing the Fairey Swordfish's part!
which is exactly why its called a lesson in world history its an AMV but its more or less historically accurate... allowing for some degree of Creative license here and there
THAT IS IJN YAMATO 9 tubes and 3 guns in front,and 6 tubes and 2 guns in the back and not a super laser. Bismarck has 4 tubes and 2 guns in the front and 4 tubes and 2 guns in the back and not a super laser. they got AA guns and smaller guns on the side to !!!!!!!!
Good Ol' Johnny Horton. I never thought some creative individual could put Star Cruiser Yamato and Neon Genesis Evangelion amounst others to "Sink the Bismark". Horton himself could be a good model for an off the beaten path "Anime Hero". He definitely walked his own path. Even the way he went out was very prophetic and slightly sceary.
One of the saddest things, I think, is how the invent of the airplane effectively made the battleship an obsolete war machine. I find them somewhat noble for an inexplicable reason, especially the Bismarck, even today many non-nuclear warships are hard pressed to make 31 knots even in the best condition. When I was aboard the USS Dewert FFG 45 the fastest we went in my whole 3 years was 31 knots over ground because of the golf stream and an emergency we were responding to.
at time 0::10 was Evangellion also at time 0:45 at time 1:10 i believe is still starblazers unless i mis timed it when i checked it. and at time 1:30 is a combo if starblazers R.O.D (Read or Die) and Evangellion. I highly recommend Read or Die it is an excellent show tho i suggest the OVA more than the TV show or at least the OVA first then the TV show. sorry for the delay in responce i dont check on here much
at time 2:16 those 2 impressive looking battleships and the scenes immediately following with the guns firing are in fact clips from Neon Genesis Evangelion. it is in the episode where they are transporting asuka's eva on the ships and they use the 2 battleshis to kill the angel.
actually it was at the time. it was 42,000 tons. just a bit bigger than the Hood. The bismarcks deck guns were 15 in in diameter. so she was pretty big
The Bismark was the largest and fastest until the Japanese built the Yamato and the Musashi with 18 inch guns and at 80,000 tons they were the largest drednaughts built and used in the war.
the Elfen Lied scene is at time 2:02-2:03 actuallly what looks like 2 very short clips of the sunrise inbetween the shots with the Yamato it's just background but it is elfen lied
holla if you watched star blazers on TV after school in the late 70's

@ZakkLamm they didnt hate america many japanese soldiers loved america or at least didnt hate it and thought a war was a bad idea. but they would rather defend thier nation and their families in their nation than stay in america or stay at home and not help whatsoever. and japan wouldnt have invaded mainland us cuz they didnt want the land. they just wanted asia (china, korea, indochina) and the pacific ocean and islands. they had several chances to take alaska but never did.

BIZMARK ..........:)
amirturist25 2 years ago
Actually well after the Bismark was sunk America built the IOWA class Battleships. each of which which is easily outclassed the Bismark. also the Japanese, tho not allied, had the Yamato class Battleships which with their 18 inch guns would have torn the Bismark up as well. I appreciate your undying love for one of your motherlands crowning achievements however FACTS cannot simply be discarded simply because you wish they were not true.

Why does the video show an inaccurate rendition of the sinking of the Yamato?
Praetonia 2 years ago
because it's not supposed to be about the sinking of the Yamato it's about the Sinking of the Bismark.... If you actually took the time to pay attention to the video (INCLUDING THE SONG LYRICS) you would have known that....
sideswipe147 2 years ago
@Praetonia to answer your question...this Anime was made before the Yamato's remains were discovered, so they didn't know she was in pieces yet. And, like many wrecks, people like to believe they are still intact, with only minor damage. look at anything about Titanic made before she was found, and you'll see what i mean. plus, the story required the Yamato to be in one piece, so what the hey.

I have a question: What Anime is the "Hood" from? It looks kind of Like Star Blazers...
Soundwave3591 2 years ago
The Hood should look similar to Starblazers
its From "Space Pirate Captain Herlock." which if i'm not mistaken is from the same creator as starblazers.
sideswipe147 2 years ago
Wait, something is confusing me. The space Yamato movies all take place in the future, right? Yet how are American Iowa class battleships, Nimitz class carriers and Avenger torpedo bombers involved? I dont get it.
frankydman 2 years ago
Some scenes in Episode 2 take place when the Captain tells the story of the Yamato. so those scenes are from when it first Sank.
Soundwave3591 2 years ago
Ok, that explains the Avengers, but not the Iowas (Yamato was sunk by planes) or the Nimitz class carriers (Not in commission yet)
frankydman 2 years ago
the Iowas and Nimitz's are from a scene in Neon Genesis Evangelion. the Iowa's use their guns to destroy one of the Angels.
Soundwave3591 2 years ago
actually most of the carrier footage is from "Read Or Die" not "Evangelion" but that's just being nit picky tho there IS one sequence with the carrier from Eva... i think you are really thinking WAY more into this than you really need to be.
sideswipe147 2 years ago
umm this video is telling the story of a WWII battle not some epic space battle... listen to the words of the song it clearly starts out...
In May of 1941 the war had just begun. The Germans had the biggest ship that had the biggest guns. Etc Etc... It's screative editing to make the footage all look like the epic sea battle that resulted in the sinking of the bismark.
sideswipe147 2 years ago
Sorry, its just that I got confused over the footage itself, not the story you put together, that's all.
You said that the footage was from the space Yamato series, which I know takes place in the future, I was just confused about the other stuff.

I can imagine this did indeed surprise you a little. It certainly would me. I wonder if many of the folks watching your video and commenting know who "Johnny Horton" was prior to this. I hope them watching this will inspire them to look up other works by Horton. And read into his truly intriguing and somewhat sceary life of being pre-destined for such a violent death and short life. Despite the fact that he was a clean living gentleman, who shyed away from drugs, booze, and womanizing.

Sideswipe147, basically what Supercorvette said was, " The English lost the Hood to the Bismarck.
Why would you then sing a little song about this action? It is embarrassing. Because it took a huge British fleet to sink a single Battleship ".
I'm not taking part in an argument, just translating what was said.

The only thing ol' Johnny Horton left out of the song. Was the part about the old obsolete "Swordfish" Torpedo Planes crippling her by jamming her rudder beyond repair.........We could have "Spike Spiegal" being the pilot of a "Fairey Swordfish" instead of his futuristic one.....They worked a little joke into the climax of "Cowboy BeBop: The Movie" on this one.....The three old guys, "Didn't we sink that Battleship the Bismark in one of these?" "No no you old fool, that was World War II!"
narutofightindreamer 2 years ago
The song lyrics told a surprisingly accurate tale of Bismark. I studied the history of that ship and it happened pretty much like that.
The reason why Bismark was found was because the captain tried to contact Germany and his transmission was intercepted. If they had stayed silent they may have managed to get home undetected.
Bismark was claimed to be unsinkable and was destroyed on his maiden voyage. Sounds familiar?

I finally got a translation on what you wrote... If I'm not mistaken the song was written as a Propaganda song to illustrate the fact that the Bismark while Impressive and, formidable it was not Invulnerable. Really It required most of the ships and planes to find it more so than to sink it, but it was the symbolism... If it was possible to sink the mighty Bismark than it was also possible to defeat Germany. HUGE for moral of the troops and folks back home. Also makes for a good history song
sideswipe147 2 years ago
yes of course
but the defeat of germany was not an results of taktiks or strategys the only way to win was to overwhelm the germans with mass of soldirs or ships and planes

SUPERCORVETTE 2 years ago
I agree to an extent. Patton was no joke on the battlefield...
tho I have the highest respect for Rommel. One of the greatest battlefield commanders ever. Omaha and (I believe) Utah beaches were the best defended at Normandy. Their defenses were both designed by Rommel.
If many people suffer at the hand of one man. Then are not many people saved, by killing one man? Is this not a true case of the sword that kills is the sword that gives life?
Hero or coward? Depends on your point of view.
sideswipe147 2 years ago
I dont write about herros like patton, montgomery or Rommel

You might want to check your numbers mate, 156,000 allied soldiers landed at Normandy.

Patton wanted to fight Rommel tank to tank (I think), like ancient warriors as Aquilles & Hector to minimize casualties in their battle. That was a very chivalrious & romantic idea that never came to pass, fortunally for Patton (I could have put my money on Rommel on that one given the better German tanks at the time). Imagine if Bush and Bin Laden had metg for individual combat to end the War of Terror, not the most exciting main event to end this stupid war they both started/ made worse.

Das ist kein britisches Lied. Vom Akzent her klingt's eher amerikanisch.

sideswipe147 2 years ago
Yes, of course ... apologies. SUPERCORVETTE remarked that it is quite embarrassing for the Brits that they had to sail the 'entire navy' just to sink one German battleship, and that this must mean that the Royal Navy isn't quite so invincible after all ... to which I replied that there is nothing embarrassing about the fact that the Brits left nothing to chance and that, given a similar situation, the Germans would have done exactly the same.
antred11 2 years ago
Yes, we're all well aware that the ship featured at the begining is indeed "The Yamato". We need not to be told this obvious fact. But, I do indeed compliment you on your knowlwdge of the two ships specs.... Yamato is playing the role of the Bismark.... Missouri and Iowa are playing thye role of the King George 5th and Rodney.....Captain Harlock's ship is filling in for the Hood......and last but not least the TBF Avenger Torpedo planes are playing the Fairey Swordfish's part!

Good Ol' Johnny Horton. I never thought some creative individual could put Star Cruiser Yamato and Neon Genesis Evangelion amounst others to "Sink the Bismark". Horton himself could be a good model for an off the beaten path "Anime Hero". He definitely walked his own path. Even the way he went out was very prophetic and slightly sceary.
narutofightindreamer 3 years ago
One of the saddest things, I think, is how the invent of the airplane effectively made the battleship an obsolete war machine. I find them somewhat noble for an inexplicable reason, especially the Bismarck, even today many non-nuclear warships are hard pressed to make 31 knots even in the best condition. When I was aboard the USS Dewert FFG 45 the fastest we went in my whole 3 years was 31 knots over ground because of the golf stream and an emergency we were responding to.
