Random Stranger posted:IIRC it was Yoshio Sakamoto who hated eggplant enough that it became an in company joke. You'll note that he worked on both Wrecking Crew and Kid Icarus. This article says Toru Osawa, information seems pretty scarce quote:For instance, the Eggplant Wizard was inspired partly by Osawa's “passion for eggplants,” and the eggplant masks found in Wrecking Crew, but Osawa also says he drew it in celebration of having received his summer bonus.

There's a phrase that the narrator uses a lot that sounds, to my American ears, like 'miroto CLEAR'. What is he actually saying, and what does it mean?

Bocc Kob posted:No it's not, at all. It's a real surname or first name. Usually for light-skinned dudes. Like the one in the game. You really don't see why a company would want to avoid naming a character after a term used to deride black people. Really. I give up. E: Unless you're talking about the fact that the subs call him Foreman Spike. I can understand how that's a bit jarring.

Tempura Wizard posted:I seem to remember seeing somewhere that Takahashi Meijin (a.k.a Master Higgins, 16-shot) hates eggplants, and that found its way into Adventure Island as a power-down item. Specifically, he didn't like the outside of an eggplant.

How, exactly, is the name "Blackie" in and of itself offensive to anyone? Oh no, it has the word "black" in it, so it must be something derogatory aimed at black people in some way? Even though the game doesn't have any dark-skinned characters or any reference to them? It's a real name, in the real world. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

I think I may have found the dullest challenge episode ever. I haven't really had any problems with any shows I've watched til now. Saint Seiya may be the driest, dullest episode thus far. It's one saving grace is Abe riding a blow up motorcycle peripheral for a Hang On-like famicom bike racing game, and looking ultra serious about it.

A GTA game would work if they made his mission "Unlock all areas and get a 5 star wanted level", That would take all day and be fun to watch. Hell, that would make a good live challenge. Probably the only live challenge I would be able to watch through its entirety, subtitled or no.

Obeast posted:Once Arino gets his hands on the rocket launcher, I think we'll have another ActRaiser-style episode where he ends up dicking around (mostly blowing up cars and people walking by) rather than continuing the story... Yeah, for about a minute, before he blows his own rear end up or gets stopped by cops, losing all his weapons, and Kan intones a moral about being careless with power ups.

zari-gani posted:Weird how the joke wasn't explained, but bou = stick (or rod in this case) and nasu = eggplant, so bou-nasu, just so people don't think Toru Osawa is insane. I'm not sure which version I like better - the one where Toru Osawa loves terrible puns, or the one where he enjoyed torturing the player and then telling them it's a "bonus". I guess they're both true to a degree, but it seems so much less sadistic now.

Does make a lot more sense in context.

I don't know why anybody'd be excited for that. They'd probably have a lovely translator and it'd mean that, legally, all of the well-subbed videos linked in the thread would have to be taken down. They'd probably also cut the time down to fit into Adult Swim's 15-minute-block format, so no more field reports!

I don't know how anyone got worried by that video. Didn't Cartoon Network completely kill off Toonami about 3 years ago? Or did they bring it back at some point? I haven't looked in the direction of Cartoon Network in 2 years or so.
