You are HUGE!
That means you have HUGE ESSENCE!

We need more Let's Watches of fighting game anime adaptations.

Can't get enough of this Fatal Fury movie. Christ, '90s anime dubs were a hell of a thing.

We'll probably do the first two FF ovas at some point, and watch both together, since the first one is like, 40 mins, and the second one is barely clocked in at an hour.

So, a few things! We started a game today, all four of us, which we assumed would be a quick one off, but it turned into a full LP, we finished it in one sitting.

It makes Devil's Third look like Bayonetta 2.

Also, Woolie and I finished Game of Thrones today as well. I wasn't really looking forward to it because this TT game has been super "meh" and the barely over an hour playtime of the last episode coupled with the fact that it bugged out and had no sound effects, left a sour taste in my mouth. But holy poo poo, we laughed harder at this one episode with all the stupid poo poo we made up than I can remember ever. Like, Woolie nearly died laughing at one point, and I just...it hurt to breath. Goddamn.

Do you want to know what we do to artists?
Man this movie brings back memories. It always bugged me how Laocorn just goes and immediately gets himself killed at the end. Doesn't that just render Sulia's sacrifice completely pointless? Then again, didn't Sulia's sacrifice ultimately just help Mars come back to life? That was not a well thought out move on her part.

It's also a shame they never got to make a fourth movie with Geese back. Especially with the implication and just training alone in the woods for a couple of years made Geese strong enough to go toe to toe with a guy who just killed a god.

OP spends most of its time, even in the good arcs, spinning it's wheels and not doing really much. Even to this day the few bits of actual story and character moments feel like long shot eventual set ups that 'Yeah maybe one day all this poo poo will be important!' and it hasn't delivered on really anything well, and I doubt it will any time soon because Oda doesn't seem to care too much about pacing or getting anywhere really.

Bleach on the other hand knows it's a big dumb punchman show and spends all it's time doing big dumb punchman poo poo with guys named poo poo like Grimmjow Jaegerwocks and Sterling Stabhappy. OP is someone teasing you along going 'No one day your fantastic meal will get here, promise!' and Bleach is someone shoving a Burgerking burger down your throat. Bleach is at least more honest about how poo poo it is.

Yes I read One Piece. But no really One Piece whens its doing its goofy trying to be a fun adventure thing just kind of feels like Oda's trying and failing to be OG Dragon Ball style shenanigans and I just don't think it does that side of it particularly well, and the fights aren't exactly the best in the world so the one thing it's got that I kinda dig, the whole Shadow Pirate pseudo-government butting heads with real-rear end pirates and the World Navy/government could be fun but it doesn't deliver on a lot of that, at least at a pace I like. But enough anime talk, I finally dipped into the pay-for-view Best Friends world and many the next few days look pretty fun!

The story is about luffy, not the rest of the world. That is optional side content to the strawhat's main game, for a game comparison. If you don't like the strawhats, you're not going to like one piece. Like, you're usopp confronting Rayleigh asking him to explain the void century and poneglyphs and poo poo straight up, which is missing the point.

Saying noted Bad Series bleach and naruto are better than one piece is nutso crazy talk dude. Hyperbole is all well and good but one piece at least has a steady flow to it.

There are a lot of problems with OP. A LOT. Between that and the length I currently can't recommend anyone starting it as is, maybe in 15 years when it's all come together.

But gently caress man, it's not Bleach or Naruto.

Not quite, the game has problems for sure. But man, it would have gotten high 8's and 9's back on the OG Xbox or PS2.

It's going to be $20 with the GCU discount at Best Buy starting tomorrow and I'm thinking about getting it at that price...along with about 8 other games from two other stores to add to my backlog. Oh, and I just bought the Bloodborne DLC and now Sony put Rocket League on sale so now I HAVE to get that too.

I'm like a woman at a shoe store sale with video game sales and probably need help. :cripes:

a saltybet moment I'll never forget is when an anime girl with flashing lights, a warning signal, constant particle effects, and a sword went up against banshee from the xmen

every single person bet all of their money on the anime girl and it turned out she was a lemon and didn't actually have any AI
