this is also why if you look at shonen manga that run in non-jump magazines they're usually less weird about this kind of thing. like frieren is a shonen manga.

When I heard Lisa Lisa getting chumped immediately instead of getting to have a cool fight with Kars was editorial mandate, my third eye opened. That's my least favorite shonen trend and it used to make me so mad as a teen lol. Glad to hear it's changing in Jump (although these days I wouldn't know, because I solved my issue with it by reading stuff from outside Shonen Jump).

16-bit Butt-Head posted:final fantasy 1 used so much of dungeons and dragons as reference material that sprites had to be edited in the american release to avoid TSR suing them Every time I hear something about the early history of D&D in Japan it starts with TSR shooting themselves in the foot and basically forcing the local scene to split of and evolve into it's own thing. Has anyone ever done a deep-dive on D&D and derivatives in Japan? Like a book or docu series or something? I kind wanna learn more about it aside from bar trivia facts like Lodoss Wars being a magazine real play.

I’ve been going through Majuular’s Ultima retrospective videos and it’s kinda funny how much of it was literally Gariott just adapting his D&D sessions into something that could vaguely function on an Apple II. Also god drat, early Sierra went to some loving weird places.

16-bit Butt-Head posted:everyone blames lorranine williams for the downfall of TSR but it was mostly Gygax being a grognard neckbeard that put it in that state to begin with The first 2 editions of DnD are pretty much a "no filthy casuals allowed" that it managed to be successful is down to the fact that everything comparable at the time was 10x worse. Even now people keep trying to make true successors to ADnD that are dice roll hellscapes where it takes 10 rolls for an attack. Pathfinder started leaning that way requiring multiple rolls for attacks, to 'confirm' critical hits, and they sort of veered back harshly for the 2nd edition before it got too far.

also the funniest japan/ultima story is when falcom (the ys/trails guys) wanted to officially license the games in japan and flew lord british out to japan to meet them and while they were showing him their work they accidentally showed a screen of one of their games where theyd just straight up traced artwork from an ultima manual. then everyone sat around silently for 3 minutes and then lord british left the room.

He did an extensive history of Rome, and a subsequent podcast about various revolutions. Probably several years worth of listen time available from him alone. All well done, content wise, apart from audio quality on early episodes.

If there is a topic that you don't know much about, have a bit of curiosity around it, and really only want the basics, check if crash course has a series on the topic. They're light edutainment with quality information. Like if you feel inclined to brush up on your high school chemology, or whatever, they're pretty much a video cliff notes.

KingKalamari posted:Then in 95, when Funimation acquired the rights to the franchise they initially tried releasing a dub of the first 13 episodes of Dragon Ball using the same voice cast as the Ocean Dub of Z, however these episodes also received low ratings and the project was cancelled and they shifted gears to release the Z dub we're all familiar with a year later.

Probably several years worth of listen time available from him alone. All well done, content wise, apart from audio quality on early episodes. Revolutions is very good though, with the only exceptions arguably being the American Revolution (Duncan speeds through it without much reflection because he considers it old hat and later admitted it's the section he'd most like to go back and totally redo) and the tail end of the Russian Revolution where imo he just gets into way too much unneeded minutia that causes the narrative to stall out.

Also if they're going to go back to the old crew who aren't allowed to participate in any fights I think they should just hang out in a room of one of Bulma's massive capsule domes that has rooms bigger than Chichi an Roshi's houses combined instead of cramming a dozen people around a CRT in the latter's island home.

That's actually a problem I find a lot of Shonen Battle and Superhero stories run into when they run for too long: If your thing is about your participants becoming exponentially stronger you're eventually going to hit a gap where your main characters are so powerful that the only real plots you can have to keep the story going are to introduce stronger and stronger dudes. It's one of the bigger problems I have with the concept of Shonen Battle series when they're implemented poorly: It becomes so focused on the one-on-one battle series that the heroes begin to feel boringly invincible unless they're specifically fighting one on one with a strong dude they have an emotional beef with.

You'll remember that "Dragon Ball" climaxed with Goku finally winning the tournament. The tournament which was intended to crown the "strongest under the heavens." For the whole series he kept being cheated out of it but he finally defeats Piccolo and cements himself as the strongest being on Earth. I'm not wild on DBZ but it makes sense where they go from there in terms of enemy powers. Strongest on Earth? Who cares, here are aliens. Freeza's title is Strongest in the Universe I believe. I think it's why some folks hate the Android/Cell stuff on principle. We are returning to Earth where a guy from the Red Ribbon Army is making stuff that can defeat Super Saiyans, let alone Freeza. In a way, even Toriyama seems to agree with this given Buu is explicitly an alien, too, and then all the newer stuff are also aliens. We get into multiple universes or realities, too. So yeah, by now, keeping things on Earth would feel incredibly cheap and dumb.
