Anime Shanties_Bulljine

[peterblood50]

I had not heard this version before. My favorite is by Anchorface. This one sets a different mood, a darker heavier one. It is an awesome recording. I like the artwork as well. Although anime is not one of my favorite styles, you have married it nicely to the music. kudos.

[Mermaids094]

23,000? no way, these should be way more popular.

[LongFingered]

man, whaling would suck. XD That just looks like death, lol!

[Reflex19841]

I Like the dreadnoughts version, a little better "Eliza Lee" they do it as a calling shanty, either way this is great work

[Krzysztex]

Awww, women's voices in a shanteys just pierce my ears, but your works are great as always

[VitaNuovaRevolution]

@Krzysztex They sound like young boys to me, personally....are they really women?

[Krzysztex]

@VitaNuovaRevolution

can be. I havent ever thought there is a child chantey band

[MyMoppet52]

Fantastic songs. I have been listening to many you have done and they are wonderful! Thank you for your posts and cheers to the singers!

[MrMatagouri]

Hitler always referred to the Bismarck as 'he'. He thought a 'Panzerschiffe' should be masculine.

[worldofwarcraftman2]

Why is there pictures of my favorite anime chars dressed as Nazis at the end you have em fighting for the wrong side

[jhschmid1]

I must ask witch dogs?

[qljerry]

It is Eliza Lee not Bulljine.

[qljerry]

@qljerry

I like all clips Anime shanty. But not the accuracy of the burst is blackmailing the Blackball line clipper. ;)

[qljerry]

It is Eliza Lee. Not Bulljine.

[Garwulf74]

Well....then again mebby not strictly a steam loco..could use more clarification in the description.

[Garwulf74]

Clearly referring to a steam locomotive.Still a catchy tune even if the art has little reflection on the song.GJ

[ladycucumberington]

These anime/sea shanty crossover videos are absolutely amazing!!! Here's a suggestion: maybe you could dry doing some lovely anime drawings to a song like "Dulaman" from Celtic Woman. It's not exactly a sea shanty but it's an Irish song about choosing between two men and it has a very maritime feel to it. I'm just throwing this suggestion out there, but don't stop making these videos! :D

[mayuzumi92]

me encantan sus dibujos =D

[LoneMoon]

You've done justice to seamanship with these depictions you've drawn, and really bring the music to life. Your videos are some of my most favorite. I just wanted to say thanks, and to keep it up.

[stoneybrotherbass]

this is amazing

[Hawisher13]

This and Shiver me timbers are my two favorites by LordDrakoArakis.

[popeadam25000]

YOu know I thought this was nifty until I found out that the Dreadnaughts did the same song before the animes. Wow my first impresion was hey they came out with a nifty song and then guess what copi it front eh group dreadnaughts

[Hawisher13]

@popeadam25000 It was done before that, you crackhead. Its a sea shanty. He never claimed it was an original song.

[hultonclint]

ahem, "in a jaunting CAR" :)

(What's a "jaunting run"?)

[Msvampiredarkness]

ooh this so is the best (just want to dance when i hear it)

[CaptainShadowKilo]

@Gascan, this song isn't about the Bismark specifically. A "bullgine" is a slang word for "engine" and no engine specifically. LordDrakoArakis did post another video called "Anime Boys' Tribute_Sink the Bismark," did you mean to post that comment on that vid?

[darknessro]

@HegemonOfEarth thanks for the explanation

[Paradoxmagic]

Why exactly is the guy getting lashed ?

[Rikki0]

@Paradoxmagic Actually, he is being flogged with a Cat o' Nine Tails. Flogging was used for a number of minor offenses. Insubordination, mild dereliction, drunkeness, laziness, etc. For more serious offenses he might have received lashes ( from a blacksnake type of whip ), keel hauling, hanging. On the surface the differance between flogging and whipping may seem trivial, but it was far from it. Flogging was very painful.  Whipping could be, and often was, deadly or debilitating.

[Paradoxmagic]

@Rikki0 Splitting hairs, I was more curious what the poor sod really did.

[Rikki0]

@Paradoxmagic I was hardly splittinng hairs. The differance between "flogging" and "lashing" are about the same relationship as stubbing your toe and getting run over by a train. The reason I explained the differance was in an attempt to give you at least a partial answer to your question. Since there is no way from the video to know what his precise offense was, I was letting you know that whatever it was, it was minor.

[Obihalf]

@Rikki0 also if a sailor was caught stealing rations, he would be marched through a gauntlet by the Midshipman and crewman charge of his division at sword-point while the entire crew (excluding the officers) would deliver one lash with a piece of un-laid manila rope. an excellent example can be seen in the Horatio Hornblower TV movie The Fire Ships

[CommandoSupremo20]

Love your work! Absolutly brilliant :D

Mind if I make a suggestion: Can you do something based on WW2 Eastern Front with the Red Army choir song "the sacred war"?

[ForestGrizzly]

out of curiousity- why Hitler? of all the people?

[Paradoxmagic]

@ForestGrizzly Because it was he that commissioned the Bismark greatest gunship in history, 16 16 inch radar guided compensated guns each capable of hurling the equivelent of a VW bug into it's target. Countless smaller guns and anti aircraft armamnents and a complement of well over 3000 men. She was a lady one of a kind that this world will never see again. To bad she served an evil master.

[kotori87]

I would love to see an anime pictorial to the parody song, "didn't sink the bismark".

[darknessro]

kinda strange to see wailing pictures to a song that's about a train :) But still awesome drawings, there were some new ones in this video that i have yet to see :)

[Sumireryu]

Brilliant :) ... I'm loven'it :)

[robotminione]

You, sir, have once again made me happy that I subscribe to your videos! And the teaser at the end just made my day all over again!

[Paradoxmagic]

@theRekcabofD Well yes and no the first cruise missile as we know it (V2) was developed near the end of WWII however high altitude rockets existed in the 30s because of Werner Von Braun and even earlier the Hwa Cha ala middle ages Korea was the first fielded MLRS (Multiple Launch Rocket System)

[RikuIshmaru]

man, the bass drums need to be stronger but other than that, it sounds great and the pictures are grand as always... keep them coming!

[Paradoxmagic]

Once again my lord three cheers for another stirring rendition I love the pictorials. Gents rate a thumbs up to raise a glass to him

[Hawisher13]

@Paradoxmagic Huzzah! Huzzah! Huzzah!

[Paradoxmagic]

@Hawisher13 atta boy me lad

[pinkglittergirl2]

Very nice! Your work is so well put together. 5/5

[SSand4]

Oh, thanx, and here I'd been thinking it was something that came out of a whale.

I guess that makes the lyrics "clear away the TRACK" and not "the DREG/DREK/whatever else I thought it sounded like".

OK I sit corrected ^_^

[Billiamtwa]

Ha! The ending makes me almost want to slip forth the idea of "Horse Soldier, Horse Soldier" by Corb Lund.

[XanderMorhaime]

Hmm... I know this particular song under the title of Eliza Lee. A bit different, but then, I guess that's translation for you. *shrugs* Good work all around as usual, and I'll be looking forward to the next one as well. :]

[SSand4]

What exactly is "bulljine"?

It's not listed on wikipedia or urban dictionary.

[Wingsong5555]

Great job!

[kailiz101]

I believe your new video will be very interesting! Hitler's attempt at world domination was a tragic thing, but I'm quite exited about seeing your outlook upon the subject (if that's what it is).

[picatsoforfma]

Nazis also invented rockets. They had some brillient minds but that doesn't mean what they did was right.

[conchatuya]

Chinese invented Rockets.

[UnknownRex]

5 star

[Lizzardflame1]

and yet again a very koll vid :)

[kateypie1]

thanks for bringing us another great vid!! love this song, good to hear this version of it! looking forward to your next project, kate x

[orckiller91]

dude, you have no reason to applogize its part of history weather select groups and people like it or not, the nazi's made a damn good vessel in bismark and tripitz

[gascan]

I tend to think that many people overestimate the Bismarck. He isn't nearly as impressive when compared to contemporary ships and knowing the flaws the British still hadn't fixed from WW1. Still, it is an important aspect of history that shouldn't be forgotten. I agree that there is no reason to apologize in any way for this. The song is about *sinking* the Bismarck, and any negative reaction only reflect the ignorance of the complainer. Have you heard the parody "didn't sink the Bismarck?"

[orckiller91]

no, I know what you mean but I was just lettting the poster know and stating my own opinion about Bismark and Tripitz

[Paradoxmagic]

@gascan There is no perfect defense, no perfect weapon there is always a chink in the armor. In this case it was her rudder, in any case. There are many things to learn from her design and implementation

[Paradoxmagic]

@gascan I would like to point out she was the greatest ship the dreadnought class and it took an entire fleet to send her to the bottom. She was feared beyond measure, and had vastly superior weapons in every respect. Her cannons were among the largest ever fielded.

[gascan]

@Paradoxmagic I seriously doubt Bismarck was feared "beyond measure," no more than when sizing up a suitable opponent. And he certainly was NOT the greatest dreadnought: he'd likely lose to the South Dakota class. The Greatest Dreadnought is debated between Yamato and Iowa. Both had bigger guns, thicker armor, better radar, more AA, the list goes on.

BTW, I officially request some Star Blazers (Space Battleship Yamato) and the first part of Robotech (Macross) out of respect for anime history.

[thedictatorfan]

@gascan Actually the 1st shot destroyed the ship so everyone was really scared for a lucky shot. I think.

[gascan]

@thedictatorfan Bismarck's 5th salvo caused a magazine explosion, sinking Hood. Such explosions are not uncommon on warships carrying tons of high and low explosives: a German battleship and three British battlecruisers and two armored cruisers blew up at the Battle of Jutland, and a Russian battleship blew up at the Battle of Tsushima. Remember, a lucky shot is just luck. Recognize the potential dangers, but don't place undue weight on them: no more than a boxer sizing up a suitable opponent.

[ninjasownpirates]

@gascan Why are you referring to a ship as a he?

[Krzysztex]

This chantey is commonly known as "Eliza Lee".

But womans' voices don't fit to a chantey, at all! :(

Though, good job again :D.

[nowAppearing]

LOVE IT! Can't wait for the next one!

[LivingCrusader]

Well done. SINK THE BISMARK! Can't wait.

[FarSh0t]

Awesome, good job!
