Random Stranger posted:2. That's outright wrong. Gawker media obtained the license and "hired" Bigger Boat to create their version (hired in quotes since Bigger Boat shares a lot of management with Gawker which makes their relationship muddy). Fuji TV didn't do anything with any English language version of the show; the one that they tried to sell in Cannes was produced by StyleJam and that was different from the one that Gawker produced. Gawker was completely responsible for the quality of the episodes they showed. Thank you for helping me finally understand this! gently caress those loving guys! Every bit of the Stylejam episode I've seen looked and sounded great. Exactly the right level of Iron Chef excessiveness. I guess they must have been too expensive?

Dominic White posted:Yeah - he asked a silly question, and she gave a silly answer. Don't forget that she's a fan of the show. After all, that's why she wrote in, hoping to be part of that particular segment. You could even say she was asking for it.

Aren't some of the seasons fully translated? Batch torrents for those would be just as helpful as a Compleat Collection.

Jimmy Colorado posted:I don't know if I have a favorite AD. I love love love Kibe though. Based purely on stereotypes rather than any direct knowledge of Japanese pro-wrestling, I wonder if taking ~80 seconds to quietly say "I just have to win" down by the riverside might be their equivalent of grabbing the mike and yelling that they're gonna shove their opponent's fractured skull up his rear end.

Stream it on twitch.tv, promote it a few days ahead of time on twitter, facebook, retro gaming forums. See if Kotaku will mention you.

I checked that JJ Squawkers game out on youtube because I liked the style of art and smooth animation, and it is  as gently caress.There are power ups that make your bird throw different vegetables instead of tomatoes, and one that makes him throw constantly shifting random garbage sprites, including, if I saw right, a continue countdown.

I remember there being some challenge where Arino says hits a figurative wall and says something like "Ugh, I am just completely in despair," and then the Kan voice-over is all "'Complete Despair!' Not even when facing Ninja Gaiden were these words uttered!!" I can't remember the game, but I remember laughing like an idiot at that moment, because it didn't seem like that hard of a game, just a terrible and boring one. Does anyone else remember this?

Heti posted:I love the clips they play in between segments too. Arino doing American things like "Sitting on a bench reading a newspaper" and "leaning against a wall" and "walking down a desert road". You forgot "wearing sunglasses." I hear that's real, though. Aren't sunglasses not a common thing in Japan?

Obeast posted:Once Arino gets his hands on the rocket launcher, I think we'll have another ActRaiser-style episode where he ends up dicking around (mostly blowing up cars and people walking by) rather than continuing the story... Yeah, for about a minute, before he blows his own rear end up or gets stopped by cops, losing all his weapons, and Kan intones a moral about being careless with power ups.

I mean, what other game is (partially) credited with (almost) killing off an entire industry?

In all seriousness, "kaeru" -> "toad back" is a brilliant translation.Silentman0 posted:Clearly the best part of either episode was Arino ducking to make the mouth open and making silly noises. I find it difficult to believe that even a single kid did not do this back in the day.

The only way the cover art for part 2 could have been better is if it somehow worked in a Charlie-Brown-and-Lucy pulling-away-the-football angle.
