Favorite OP is Sorairo Days from Gurren Lagann.
Favorite ED is either Uso from FMAB or Akaneiro Ga Moeru Toki from Gungrave.
Though it feels unfair to list so few when there are so many great ones out there, so I'll throw in a few more of my favorites (CBA to link em though):
OPs:
You wa Shock from Hokuto no Ken
Colors from Code Geass
Bloody Stream from JoJo's part 2.
A lot of the big shounen have a lot of good OPs, can't list em all though so I'll try to say 1 from each:
(JJK OP1, AoT OP1, Bleach OP2, Naruto OP4, Shippuden OP14 or 16, One Piece... too much competition for the the best one, maybe OP15, 17, 18, or 21? Vic Mignogna did a great english version for OP1 and 3 though; FMAB OP3,
Yu Yu Hakusho OP1 (had both a good ENG and JP version)
Pokemon OP1 and 8 (specifically the English movie versions)
Magical Babyrinth from Iruma-kun
EDs:
Roundabout - Jojo's Part 2
Styx Helix - Re:Zero S1
Buchikome!! - Hajime no Ippo Rising
Yakitate ED1 and 2
Shimoneta (both the OP and ED, be aware its lewd)
Try Again - Gunbuster
Last Piece - Great Teacher Onizuka
Minna no Peace - TTGL
Mosaic Kakera - Code Geass
In the first game when you're running around, her dress lifts up with each step you take and the view is pretty nice.
I wonder when people will finally realize that Elon is a flip-flopping opportunist, I suppose it'll probably be some time yet.
Cammy is a very respectable choice.
I'd probably say either 2B or Amazon from Dragon's Crown. Ryza from Atelier is also great too.
Not really, just go up a ladder.
Tell that to the people who got fucked by this, retard.
You forgot Tastosis, but yeah those two were probably the biggest. There were major casters like Apollo, Rotterdam and InControl as well, not as big as the biggest ones but still easily recognizable. HDStarcraft was also a fairly big thing back then on YT. I actually forgot about TB, lol.
These days there's a new generation of YT commentators like Harstem, Lowko, and uThermal.
That's fine, just be aware not everything can be solved with labels and broad categorizations/generalizations.
While I certainly think there are strong preferences among certain gamers towards the archetypes you describe, I personally don't believe there's a hard line for most core gamers. I think many core gamers can play and enjoy a variety of genres and types of games, and differences can often come down to personal preferences.
For example, just because someone doesn't like PvP in an MMO or an ARPG doesn't mean they wouldn't like it in an FPS or a fighting game.
In my case, I usually don't care about open-world RPGs, but I still like Fallout 1 and Baldur's Gate 1 so its not something ironclad, and I used to love playing Runescape. I wouldn't be able to tell you "why" per se, maybe it has to do with implementation and format of the ones I don't care for.
I'm sure many people on KiA2 have played and enjoyed at least 1 competitive game, 1 co-op game, and 1 PvE type game. Some of the most competitive esports-type people I've followed still consider games like Mario and Zelda to be among their favorites, or more recently are enjoying games like Elden Ring (and no, not for the PvP in it).
Because I like them and they're fun, simple as that. No need to armchair-psychoanalyze it too much, at least in my case.
I wouldn't say there's much consistency, I like most types of video games. The only genres I'd say I don't really care for are pure platformers, pure puzzle games, and non-violent simulation games. I guess if a game doesn't have combat or violence in some fashion, its less interesting in my eyes, but I still enjoy visual novels so its not like its an ironclad rule necessarily.
Giving him way too much credit, I never gave a fuck about his starcraft 2 commentary, there were so many people infinitely better than him there
Bragging that you did better than arguably the biggest flop in hollywood history isn't that much of an accomplishment tbh. Its like bragging that your game has more players than Concord.
Torishima replied with “Compliance is like an all-powerful god. It’s something that is using the name of good but is actually bad. It’s impossible every single person doesn’t feel uncomfortable. It’s fine to feel uncomfortable. Beautiful and ugly, good and evil, it depends on the person.”
Torishima also discussed selling manga in the west, “When selling manga in America and the west, everything had to be categorized by age groups. With Shonen Jump, they couldn’t be sold unless they were rated age 13 and older, because there’s a risk of lawsuits and they need to have insurance.
“Doing business with a ridiculous country like this is such a hassle,” Torishima said. “Coming from this, Japan gets negatively influenced as well.”
“In Dragon Quest, you used to be able to choose between a male and female protagonist,” Horii said. “But now you can’t choose between a man and a woman anymore.”
Horii added, “We have to call them Type 1 and Type 2. I truly wonder who is even complaining about this?”
Honestly it's a disgrace that the supposed land of freedom has caused this many problems for creative expression. Torishima and Horii have good heads on their shoulders (unsurprisingly), but it seems this cancer comes from above them and is imposed on them.
Japanese entertainment becoming globally popular is increasingly looking like a mistake, at least with the way western culture currently is. I hope they keep trying to make their works for the Japanese, but ill tides like this concerns me.
chest might be smaller but maybe that's just me
File doesn't seem to work?
There's a reason why I've basically been only pirating my PC games for the last 6-7 years if I can't buy a DRM-free version of it (and if it's worth supporting).
Eh, there have always been "cute" legendary in addition to the powerful ones, such as Jirachi, Mew, Celebi, etc.
But yeah I think the new ones are pretty boring and shit.
PMD Explorers clears all of the mainline pokemon for me by a country mile, but otherwise I'd say Gen 3 is my favorite.
My assumption is he's bought and paid for.
Eh, dunno about that. Nobunaga is pretty famous, as was Emperors Meiji and Hirohito. Akira Kurosawa was a very famous Japanese movie director. Osamu Tezuka is the grandfather of modern anime. I saw Musashi being mentioned, he was definitely a big deal, the samurai stereotype had to come from somewhere lol. Muramasa was a legendary blacksmith.
Technically Shinzo Abe, Satoru Iwata, and Akira Toriyama are historical figures now (Rest in Peace).
No, definitely not lol. Maybe in season 1 but that's about it for what I can remember. She became a lot crazier, egomaniacal, and louder as the seasons went on. Violence and screaming is definitely not the mark of someone submissive and soft-spoken.
Does Velma from Scooby-Doo count? (And no, I'm obviously not referring to that new dogshit)
I remember Jaina Proudmoore from WC3 as being pretty soft-spoken and submissive to an extent, but I don't know what happened to her in WoW.
Cheryl? You mean the crazy violent sadomasochist pyromaniac nutcase Cheryl who often screams a lot?
Er... did you read the OP correctly?
It'll probably flop, but definitely not worse than Concord. Dragon Age is a well-established IP at this point. There are people who will buy it no matter what. The same wasn't true for Concord.
She's a latina iirc.
Shield Hero's OP is so good, nice.
