Pedantry, a need for validation of their anime-liking, a reductionist view of Japanese pop culture and arts. I can only guess.

Anime is a tonal thing as much as it is a visual thing imo. Like in the same way that, say, western mystery fiction can get very derivative of itself, there's a body of Japanese media that has become super derivative of itself in repeating these same narratives and characters. It's a genre as much as it is a term for "Japanese animation", I think, which is how you can find some examples of Japanese animation/games/comics that despite being from the same industry feel very un-anime, on account of not belonging to that particular genre and drawing on other sources instead.

The Colonel posted:apparently the backstory for blaster master zero is actually a fusion of the jp and us plots, so it's about a space soldier who also has a pet frog Are they still naming the tank what the name of the planet was in the original?

I said come in! posted:Nier Automata goes live at 9pm pacific time tonight on PSN. The game's review embargo for most websites and publications will end in a few minutes. For comparison, the first game had a 67-68 on metacritic. Let's see how they like fishing in this one.

One of my best friends bought the Japanese version and has beaten it 4 times so far. They are absolutely in love but have played all the Nier/drakengard games since the beginning.

In Training posted:You totally lost me on the September 2004 one If you liked RTS games with 'War' in the title, then these three games were released within one week of each other:    And on September 20th, Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne patch 1.17 added two new Neutral Heroes, the Firelord and the Goblin Alchemist. suuma posted:Man, I can't believe the first Dawn of War was in 2004.

Lurdiak posted:Why do you guys always do this when people say something is too anime. Literally everyone else in the world knows exactly what is meant by that, but this thread has to split hairs over it. Except I literally never know what people mean by it, I've seen it used as shorthand for tropey, perverted, or in incredibly rare cases as an actual art style. It also leads to incredibly asinine statements about how a game where the artwork was done by Akira Toriyama is somehow not anime, so it's the stupidest thing.
