I was fine playing along with the Raccoon = Aran Chaser bit, but I hope no one here entertains this Raccoon = 21 fantasy.

Trudeau decries 'fringe' views of some in trucker convoy, as police prepare for its arrival in Ottawa

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is decrying the 'fringe' views among some of those who are supporting the trucker convoy making its way to Parliament Hill to protest COVID-19 vaccine mandates and other policies they feel infringe on their freedoms.

When you even have Joe Rogan talking about this, I fear we're gonna start copying America's homework on Saturday.......

Ugh

People are crazy.

I just don't want a repeat of Jan 6 on Canadian soil. I truly thought we'd be better than that, I hope, that we are.

Luckily, hardly anybody will be in parliament on Saturday.

Honestly, I've dropped off on watching a lot of Anime in recent years, yet I still love playing Anime and Anime inspired games lol

I hate to admit I have as well. Back in the 90s and 2000s it seemed easy to keep up with, like, the one or two must-see iconic series per year that were dropping, but now there's just so damn much that it floods the mind. Plus the last few shows that became super popular and came highly recommended just did not do it for me, so without realizing it I just kinda tapered off. I still love the medium, it's just.. saturated. I feel like getting into it or keeping up with it is more of a chore these days.

I maybe watch 4-5 anime series per year at this point and some of them are series that I've read the manga for, so I already know what's going to happen.

I just find reading manga to not only be a more preferred experience in some cases, but its also a time saver.

I felt this way about Excel Saga especially, and Love Hina a bit, too (and don't tell anyone, but DBZ as well).

Those Team February shills are already celebrating the end of Team January. Their tiny peanut brains think that it's too late in the month to announce a Direct. That Nintendo surely won't announce one tomorrow and then have it during Saturday in Japan. That's ridiculous, they claim.

And they're right, Nintendo would not have a weekend Direct. But have you all ever heard of...

M O N D A Y S ! ? ! ? ! ? ! ? ! ? ! ? ! ? ! ?

That's right. I am confirming it right here, right now. Direct on Monday, January 31, 2022! Team January wins again! In the immortal words of Kanye West, I
need a room full of mirrors so I can be surrounded by winners.

you shouldn't let other people's preferences make you doubt your own

it's the source of 90% of forum fights and is very cringe

feel free to laugh at people who are wrong, or better still, accept that they just feel differently than you

(laughing at people who feel differently from you is cool, too)

I laugh at others to hide the fact that I'm crying on the inside (from laughing too much).

Sounds about right, I'm 32 and already grumbling about the youth every now and then.
 
And that’s AI:SF down, a whole day early before Arceus!

Ultimately I really liked it, despite some complaints. The plot kept me guessing for a long time; I did eventually figure everything out but it was barely before the game spells it out anyway. It had the same energy as 999 and VLR, even if I don’t think it quite hit the same highs as those (especially 999).

I am officially hyped for the sequel now, lots of cool places they could take things.
 
I feel like it’s always when I step away from the main thread for a while I miss anime talk…so I’m just going to start it back up or throw this out there.

I’m definitely a big fan, though these last two years I’ve been extra super focused on games so I’m watching less. I really enjoyed Magia Record Season 2, Re:Zero Season 2, and Love Live Superstar last year. Coolest old show I watched last year was definitely Hajime No Ippo. Just super hype! I’m a bit behind, but I’m enjoying the final Attack on Titan season and Princess Connect Season 2 this season so far.

What if the remake is 1:1 identical in story, setting, and gameplay and all they do is rebuild the game with a claymation style and a fully orchestrated soundtrack (with the option to switch back to a remastered version of the original synth)?

Depending on who you ask, game talk is anime talk. 😏

Seeing anime only watchers reaction to AOT has been fun. They're lucky too as having to wait a month between chapters in the end game was hell.
 
I, too, have seen many of the animes. Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z, Dragon Ball GT, Dragon Ball Super. You could call me an anime expert. In fact, my friends refer to me as Mr. Anime because I'm so well-versed on the subject. 😎

I’ve read the manga and yup I agree! Seeing it animated has been fun! Haven’t seen this week’s, but the fight they’ve been on has been extra cool animated. Mappa did an awesome job.

If you couldn't tell by my username, I too really enjoy Dragon Ball :)

Well, Dragon Ball and Z. Super I'm a bit iffy on, but the movies have been great so far. Super Hero should be fun.

Edit: Wait, I'm stupid. You didn't say you hadn't seen Super. Sorry.

I don't really have a soft spot for the original (aside from the excellent Shimomura soundtrack and Mallow being the bestest boi) but I think it holds up extremely well to this day. Not sure what a remake would add aside from more modern (not even necessarily better) presentation.

My relationship to Mario RPGs is a bit complicated these days but since the last two were remakes it'd be nice to get an original work again instead of constantly repackaging the past.

If you haven't partaken in it yet, the Japanese opening song to GT is a bop and a half.

actually yeah no matter how much I rag GT I have to admit the songs were wonderful. Dan Dan Kokoro Hikareteku, Hitori Janai, and especially Don't You See got me through a significant chunk of high school.

Well I have a soft spot for clay so I want claymation remakes of a lot of stuff I guess

Speaking of Anime games, Netmarble seems to be making an open-world Seven Deadly Sins game subtitled Origin.

Hahahaha, that is indeed a factual statement regarding the poor quality of Dragon Ball GT!

I have nothing against Faulconer's music in Z. I'm against it on principle, but I'm not incapable of liking replacement music. However, Mark Menza's score for GT was AWFUL. I cannot watch GT in English. I find his music to be so annoying. Thankfully, not only is the Japanese music better, but it's really good! It was one of two good things about GT, the other being that I prefer GT's ending to Z.
