All the fighty anime has a Thing. Maybe your anime’s Thing is comicbook superpowers, magic weapons, schools of sorcery, or high-tech gizmos, but you need a Thing and all Things have rules specifically for that critical scene when your protagonist breaks a rule to beat the bad guy. Bonus points if your bad guy also broke a rule.

A little privacy, please?
Kamen Rider Build is a fight shonen but live action and it has almost no obnoxious voiceover fight exposition because it's not adapted from a manga and the stunt wrestling speaks for itself.

If the thread will forgive a small bit of self promotion, my Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure podcast, Jojo’s World just wrapped up a watch-through of Revolutionary Girl Utena - a show that is as bizarre as it is good (I’d say I could talk about it for hours, but I already have!) - and we’re now taking our first break in about 5 years, until Jojo part 6 airs in December (other than maybe doing a couple movies in that time).

If you’re in the market for a banter-based anime recap/discussion podcast, I think you could do worse!

yugioh is easy to make fun of but there's some clever bits in it. i love the duel where kaiba plays a card to search otu slifer from yugi's deck and then add it to kaiba's hand, and kaiba specifically notes that slifer was on the bottom of yugi's deck, and then yugi activates a card that makes them swap their hands, so kaiba just searched slifer out for him. very funny bit.


Terrible Opinions posted:

At least the animated version of HunterHunter would have been massively improved by just editting out the majority of narration explaining people's emotions and super powers, and cutting out parts of scenes where nothing is happening to accommodate that narration. The visuals already communicate 99% of what's going on without issue. The narrator just serves to make it worse.
the narration in hunter x hunter is worth it just for the scene where shoot goes into his super mode and the narrator explains all his powers and how he's found a new way of using them, for like five minutes, and then goes 'and lastly, shoot pulls his collar up over his face. there is no particular reason for this, he just thought it looked cool.'

I mean Yugi flat out uses magic to cheat and will the cards he wants to the top of his deck. Even if Kaiba hadn't pulled his god card for him Yugi would have drawn it when he wanted it.

I'm not powerful enough to have watched any unabridged yugioh but i did watch a video about a movie where Kaiba builds himself a 'one way teleporter to heaven' so he can duel Yugi one last time.

The key difference between the unedited and abridged yugioh is that the original just never winks to the audience. Much like Original Generation Star Trek the creators trust you to find it funny without joke queues.

There's a scene in the filler arc where Kaiba finds out Yugi lost a duel to some mook and just completely flips the gently caress out at him in the most over the top manner, and when the abridge version got to that episode LK was all "I honestly have no idea how to make this scene funnier than it already is."

Stuart just absolutely steals the show as Kaiba, say what you want about 4Kids they absolutely nailed that casting.

"Let's be positive! Let's start a fire!"

It is absolutely amazing that the first thing Kaiba tries to do now that his company can do interstellar travel is, i think actually if the later seasons come into play, try to start a galactic war with Duel Monsters

And this was an international broadcast and no one gave a gently caress

I recently found someone who is editing every Yugioh episode down to 1-2 minutes of footage. Their YouTube account was blocked but they’re still at it on Twitter.

https://twitter.com/Bing_Bong_YGO?s=20

Frankly, as a kid who was there for the Egyptian magic and silly melodrama, but was not invested in the intricacies of the card game beyond season 1’s Calvinball approach, it gives me everything I’m after from the show.

And the other half were just making fun of weird localisation decisions and replacing the words 'duel monsters' with 'a childrens card game'.

Imo LK's best work was the naruto seires he did that just ripped the poo poo out of the popular copycat naruto abridged series and did david bowie parody songs.

yeah theres dozens of bits like that

like in the dub when marik starts to explain his plans and motivations to bakura and bakura goes 'i dont care' and then the scene cuts away, thats funny, and then littlekuriboh adds like 20 seconds of random dialogue to it for no reason
