Xenoverse 2 better take away that "you can only be SSJ1 and 2" poo poo. I want 3, God, and Blue in there (and I guess 4).


And bring back playable Great Apes!

We know SSJ3 is in the game.

And every species gets a unique transformation of one kind or another. (Not actually transformations in some case, but gameplay wise it's a new form and all that.)

every race has an "ultimate transformation" that radically changes how they play and saiyans get super saiyan 3

also namekians get giant form so they'll probably make oozaru playable too

Even there, I feel like that saga is where "Superhero Goku" begins after he survives drinking the Ultra Divine Water.

I dunno, even after that it was straight up Goku wanting vengeance for Krillen and Roshi. I mean, he saves the world, but the Red Ribbon army was a global threat too.

look at least all the broly stuff in this game is optional side quests instead of xenoverse literally making broly the end of the game

Broly being the optional superboss in that Saiyan saga centric RPG will always crack me up.

I was thinking of the scene where he and Yajirobe get back to Korin's tower and he's all, "I feel connected to the whole Earth," or something to that effect.

That's the first time power levels are mentioned, I think, when Goku says he's now able to sense Piccolo.

I'm probably just reading too much into it. v:v:v

Sometimes I feel like I'm the only person in the world who doesn't "get" One Piece. My wife and I have taken to watching One Punch Man and Hunter x Hunter on Toonami late on Saturday nights and we can't stand anything we've seen in One Piece. The last episode was the long nosed guy voiced by Krillin's voice actor using a slingshot to fight some flying clown chick with a stupid laugh (a-hur hur hur or something like that) while Luffy was fighting a bowling pin shaped vampire. Dumbest poo poo I've ever seen..

I feel the same way, only swap One Piece with Hunter X Hunter.

Christ that show is a slog to get through. I keep waiting for it to get good but I'm 20+ episodes in and nothing loving happens. Please, please tell me it's about to get better, I don't know if I can make it to episode 30 at this rate :gonk:

Hunter Exam is by far the weakest arc in HxH. You're about done with it or just past it. Punchman stuff is about to hit you like a semi.

I hope so, I was about ready to claw my drat eyes out. Also I cannot stand the design for that blonde kid with the not-sharingan, it's about as weeaboo as you can get. The rest of the cast is ok but gently caress that dude, ugh.

I'm at the part where they pushed open some heavy-rear end door so they can go save RukiaAssassin kid? Not the most original plot arc but I've seen worse. Just hurry up and get to the fisticuffs show, somebody light their leg on fire and kick a dude in the face or something.

I've only read the manga of HxH* so I can't speak of the anime's adaptations of the Hunter Exam (either the 90s or 10's one) but it definitely picks up a hell of a lot after that. I'd say shortly after that you get into something not especially far removed from the Uranai Baba arc but it's a lot better. In the manga, I wouldn't say it slows down at all in quality for like 200 straight chapters until the start of a long arc, which also gets extremely good after a short while.

*Even though I've not watched any full episodes, there's a specific fight shortly after the exam that everyone always says is super great in the 2010's version of HxH and it's true, it owns.

Once the fightmans stuff starts, you won't see him for a while. Then a bit more and he's gone for drat near the whole anime run.

He does give us a very good set of antagonists. But yeah, dude fades out of the series for a while, pops up again for his arc (which is good) and then fucks off forever almost.

'Weeaboo' as in 'so-textbook-anime-looking-it-hurts'. He is the most generically designed character i've seen in a manga period, and I am counting down the episodes until he fucks off for good.

As much as I love bad guys like Frieza and Hisoka from HxH and characters like that, why are there so many effeminate anime villains? My wife has only recently started really watching anime recently and she asked me about it, because they just had the really effeminate Sea King on One Punch Man, and that Gundam: Iron Blooded Orphans just had a strangely dressed effeminate/clown looking bad guy in a mech.

It is because of a few factors:

A) Making a villain looks non-traditionally threatening is a way of subverting expectations. Rather than getting stronger or more intimidating they become 'smaller' which subverts expectations.
B) Making a villain look beautiful and graceful tends to be an easy visual shorthand for nobility and refinement or attempts at being so.
C) Making a villain a hot dude appeals to the ladies and the guys who like hot dudes.
