The 6th game to be challenged at Saitama is Captain Tsubasa. Another game he beat "but you didn't beat this one team, so..." I'm sort of starting to feel like they're scraping the bottom of the barrel a little bit.

Rochallor posted:I've been working my way through the Metal Gear Solid DVD episode (not necessarily recommended, it mostly consists of Arino watching the cutscenes and going, "Huh") but I got to the bit where Ocelot puts Snake in the torture rack and you have to mash to stay conscious, and I think Arino might be the slowest button masher I've ever seen. That was probably the biggest disappointment I've ever had from the show (MGS chllenge). And I saw the movie in theatres. Kakaricho fucked around with this message at 12:41 on Aug 25, 2023 |

I think it's great that other groups are picking up where others have left-off, for whatever reason. I don't check it often, but if you or any other teams want to email me at vrkakaricho@gmail.com, please feel free to do so.locationscouts posted:maybe even jD (VRis raws), might still be around. VRis...what exactly? It was a long time ago, but that person is why the VR team ceased to exist. Tread lightly, I'd hate to see people deprived of getting new subtitled episodes.

Re-sale for profit is specifically forbidden in their ToS, of I can't go to the Saitama Event, I'll be lucky to just lose all my ticketing fees (about 800 yen.)

A lot of this is because of idol concerts, apparently.

The merchandise for the Saitama Event has been revealed https://gccx20th.jp/ (menu button under Goods) They'll be for sale online from midnight October 1st through 11:59 P.M. October 15th, but no mention if they ship internationally (unlikely, sadly, given precedent. ) I really need the tote bag if nothing else - I have it's twin brother from the Budokan event twn years ago, and it's still going strong, despite almost daily use. My lunch and water bottle, full, and then empty cans of booze, changes of clothes and diapers for my kids, story books from the library for said kids, it's been a trooper for ten years.

Disagree, after that mess of the MGS episode, I think the writer should focus on writing (there's probably just more money in having him in front of the camera, middle-aged ladies go bonkers for him at events.) Hirayuki posted:Is Abe still making his culinary contributions? I think he stopped updating his recipe blog a long time ago.

A video from the Fan Club revealed that Arino, etc., knew about the first two games being remade as far back as January, before the 20th Anniversary Press Conference even. Arino wanted to something like "Boy, they really should port those games to the Switch!" at said press conference. This led to one of my new favorite lines: Kan - "Abe will punch you for that. I won't hit you, but Abe will."

skyegccx posted:Yamada is also mentioned during the mini corner in episode 237 when Toujima shows up and introduces himself as the first AD. Arino says "Are you just gonna pretend that Yamada doesn't exist?" He's not given a number or even a "The Orignal" name like Toujima. https://imgur.com/YBb6G8Q skyegccx posted:Lastly, he was mentioned in a Youtube video of Arino, Abe, and Fujimoto just talking. Kan asks if there's anything Arino remembers from the first episode. Arino replies "Everyone says Toujima was the first AD, but there was someone before him, but none of the current staff know about him, just the original members." Kan says "Yamada?", and Arino tells a story about going out to dinner after a shoot with him and Kobayashi, where Yamada said he would do his best, only to be gone the next episode. Why exactly is never said, and likely never will be.

zari-gani posted:I also love the very early days of the show. They don't yet know what Arino is capable of (or incapable) and everyone is babies. Arino was only 32 years old in the MM2 ep, definitely my senior when I first saw it, and I'm much older now! Kan's forward in the Saitama Event Program mentions the show was originally supposed to be a show where Eichiro Funakoshi interview manga creators. It sort of panned out differently. And I was thinking about the clip where they discuss AD Yamada, in the very next bit, they mention how it was a big hit with fans when Toujima messed up fighting Larios/Rarios. Maybe Yamada was fired before they realized that messing up was funny? And I find it funny that when I watch older episodes sometimes, my wife will see young Arino and go "Huh?" before realizing what's on. zari-gani posted:Does anyone know where I can find the "Arino's wedding" clip from Arino's old comedy show? We released a sub ages ago but I can't find it on my drive. The one where he and his wife do a re-enactment of how they met/got engaged. The link on the official fan site is down, and Fuji's No Fun Police did a good job scrubbing it, it seems. It was on 【めちゃ²イケてるッ!】有野晋哉結婚極秘プロジェクト if my old memos are accurate.

Pegnose Pete posted:Or was there a famous AD from Fukuoka or something and it became a catch phrase? Fukuoka born-and- raised AD Urakawa spawned the famous 1機やらしてもらって、よかですか? quote. As was said, Abe is from Fukuoka too, and Inoue (AD after Urakawa) is as well too, so there was a period when a lot of the staff was from Fukuoka. Inoue tried it too and famously had Arino shout "No!" in English at him because he had made so many prior mistakes, and it was paraphrased as "武道館やらしてもらって、よかですか?" as the motto of the Budokan Event.

I could see his reaction a lot better that way. I couldn't have been more off about the secret game, but the event will be available on Fuji on Demand (FOD) "Almost entirely uncut" starting November 4th (20th Anniversary of the first broadcast), along with almost all of the past episodes. (Yes, it's a pay service, and no, I don't know if it's available overseas) My dumb face is destined to be shown on the show and burned to retail DVDs/blu-rays every ten years, it seems...

If it's in an article, it's not a spoiler. https://www.famitsu.com/news/202310/30322389.html At the end of the show Arino shouted "Next time, we're doing a national tour!" Kan apparently told him "Don't say Tokyo Dome, or I'll strangle you" And Arino wants to go to Australia for the next trip and hug a koala.

 Here's a better look at the goods that came with an Arena Seat at the Saitama event. If you squeeze the Arino plush it says "Hello, this is Chief Arino from Game Center CX. To everyone in the arena seats, it's finally time for Saitama. I'm counting on your cheers! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! What are you pushin'!? Aren't you pushin' too much?" The back of the ticket has a QR code to a (now expired) video of Arino thanking fans for coming to the event taken immediately after the event (he's standing behind the black panel on stage and you can see some people still leaving the arena.) That video is around in the usual places.

The TV cut of Saitama airs following the annual year-end marathon of episodes and "Three Old Guys" Countdown. Judging by it's run time, it seems to have had about one hour of footage removed (four hour event to three hour broadcast). The documentary airs on January 25 as episode 372. Moai Ou posted:I also managed to get this, which came bundled with some copies of the Tamage-centric DVD. I didn't expect it to be a model kit when I ordered it. That's the special edition, there's a DVD only edition that's cheaper. I want to build the model that came with mine, but I have two little destroyers running around, so it'll have to wait.

You get two videos of cut footage/special footage a week, staff/Kacho photos, priority for entering event ticket lottery purchases, etc. You can enter to win prizes each month, and you rank up the longer you've been a member. When you get to around Gold (I think?) or so, they occasionally send postcards. Plus the birthday message from Arino every year, where he always says "We only film one of these for everyone" pretty bluntly.
