2009 was "only a few years ago?"
My first thought was Javanese, the Indonesian language.
I watch too many Kobo Kanaeru clips.
Yes, I saw SmithPlays Pokémon's videos too.
That's why I said HGSS is better.
Manjaws?
Not interested.
They will always take the mile, so why surrender the inch?
Fuck that. They deserve nothing.
And they accused us of being Puritans.
This is why I recently realized that it really is all projection.
I will. I've heard a lot of fun things about it.
'Cause fuck 'em, that's why.
The people that would get pissed at this never bought the game anyway. They probably still believe the lie that it used AI art.
So why didn't they change it back once they made their money?
Easy patch.
Make them extra mad
JRPGs have grinding. You can minimize it, like in Chrono Trigger, but eliminating it just can't happen.
Chrono Cross tried to get rid of it, but it was undercut by its infuriating plot.
Another exception that I think counts? Full Metal Panic. Loved the original, Fumoffu, and The Second Raid, even if Invisible Victory was kind of disappointing.
Tessa Testarossa does not get enough love.
The games were never been to be taken this seriously. Smogon-seriously.
Don't half-ass it.
Don't dabble.
Commit.
The difference between involvement and commitment is like ham and eggs.
The chicken is involved.
The pig is committed.
Garzey's Wing? That spinoff of Aura Battler Dunbine?
I remember watching Bennett the Sage and pre-insanity Spoony tear that thing to shreds. God, that dub was funny to laugh at.
Already seen it for my own reasons--I was a huge fan of Superhuman Samurai Syber-Squad as a kid.
And so was its English dub director, Clifford Chapin, to the point of bringing his old toys to stand on his desk while they recorded for it. In fact, I asked Greg Ayres (who is in the dub) about this personally at a con several years ago--he confirmed it's all true.
This is also why Alexis Kerib's voice was done as a Tim Curry impression. There's even a nice little Kilokahn reference added to the dialogue in the last episode--normally I hate dub changes, but this one, I'll allow it!
Oh, and yes, because of this anime, I watched the actual original Gridman show. Man, that show got weird--but now I have proof that Syber-Squad was pretty accurate to it!
I agree in part--HeartGold and SoulSilver are still the pinnacle of the series, but by the strictest definition of the official terminology, they're gen 4, not gen 2.
I just didn't feel the genre was for me. Though I did have my exceptions--for example, I adored Gurren Lagann, and it's still one of my five favorite anime of all time.
But I knew that show was meant to be a celebration of the genre, and to a lesser extent masculinity itself.
Body Type 1
Body Type 2
This position will likely not exist in a year. Definitely not in two.
That's exactly where I was going to start, the 1979 original.
I really should get into Gundam.
After watching Gunbuster for the very first time last month (good God, that final scene...), I realized...maybe I should give the entire giant robot genre a second chance.
Contrast Hideaki Anno and Yoshiyuki Tomino.
Both are depressed, but created some amazing stuff regardless (Gunbuster/Evangelion and Gundam, respectively).
Because they are creators, not parasites.
Why do you keep replying to yourself?
It always starts small.
