That late in the episode makes me think that the ice cream announcement might be about something else.

Yeah I really don't think mine is a big enough thing for it to be announced during ice cream. (I don't know what the announcement could be.)

Tonight's two reveals:

-They're going to commence development of a brand-new Megadrive game with the intention of releasing it in 2018 for the Megadrive's 30th anniversary

-They're airing a TV special of an "88-game pilgrimage" in Shikoku on July 3, broadcast in 4K (is this a reveal? maybe it was already announced)

I must have missed the postcard that told me I was living in Brazil.

If you're referring to articles like this,

It's common to over-exaggerate entertainment news in Japan to push a product, this time likely being the Mega Drive DVD set I mentioned before.

It was.

Kakaricho posted:

NTT Plala (an ISP) and I-Cast (child company) are collaborating with Fuji TV to make 4K TV programs. The first one will be "Game Center CX in Shikoku - 88 Game Machine Pilgrimage (tentative title)", a reference to Shikoku's 88 Buddhist temple pilgrimage. It will premiere on NTT Hikari (an on-Demand TV service) in late June in 4K, and in standard HD on Fuji One-Two-Next (the regular broadcast channels) some time after. In addition to the trip, there will also be a game challenge.

Date was later pushed back to July 3rd in a later broadcast.

I just realized that the announcement of the project I worked on will be paired with the Cho Aniki episode. I'm so honoured.

Kakaricho
Aug 2, 2013



The Cho Aniki challenge is a two part episode.

In the opening, all of the old rumors that Beat Takeshi was really drunk making Takeshi's Challenge Letter were confirmed true during a conversation with Takeshi himself.

The ice cream announcement was about the Shikoku special. Arino is already fearing being shot in 4K

The new AD they teased a while back will finally make an appearance next time

edit - according to the credits, Matsui is back as an AD, and Oosuka is a director now

and then there's Mew who as far as I recall is inaccessible outside of glitches.

They've had special events in Japan where you can get Mew traded to your VC game that mimic the old Mew events from back in the day. You needed a special voucher included with the Pokemon R/G/B/Y edition 2DSes to attend.

Chances are they'll have Arino "attend" a similar event.

I got super hopeful when an overly confident Arino was doing well and talked about doing an Arino/Inoue-as-Beat-Takeshi routine to fill time when he was doing well.

I've found that Japanese children's books are hardcore as gently caress, just yesterday I read ともだちごっこ, which was basically Babby's First Book About Bros Before Hos

They haven't added the text to the pages yet so the previews are just of my art.

Thanks everyone for the support! I'm really hoping it gets a lot of preorders. Incidentally, Kan's mother is extremely excited about it and claimed she'll buy 30 copies.

I just watched the latest episode and I have two questions:

1) what the gently caress is cho aniki

2) Is it not a very hard game or has Arino just gotten a lot better at shooters? It doesn't look that much easier than your average shooting game, except maybe that the save system is more generous. He was making pretty good progress.

1) It's Cho Aniki. What, you don't like muscle bound dudes? What's wrong with you?
2) He's come a long way. But yes Cho Aniki is more forgiving than your typical shooter.

The Kumamoto charity event raised over 300,000 yen and collected over 200 games to be donated.

Arino is not very popular with babies though.





Also, Noda is returning as Yoiko's manager after 6 years, and Matsui's return as Chief AD and Oosuka's promotion to Director were confirmed.

I think he's the best AD when it comes to handling Arino. He takes enough of his crap to get a laugh, but pushes back some too. The on going drama of whether Arino can push him into asking out the beautician he likes is great fun too.
That said, the crowd at the charity event went crazy when they said Matsui was coming back
