Is Season 2 really worth watching? It felt as unwelcome as Deathnote S2.

I would say so but just don't expect the atmosphere of the first season. S2 has a slightly different tone because of the way the story unfolds and it's focus. If you can keep that in check and then keep actively thinking as you watch, then it should be fairly enjoyable. It doesn't really explain things out right but it has all the information there if you're paying attention and processing what's going on. The magical girl recycled footage might be a little annoying but they had to save budget, lol

Definitely watch the 4-ep OVA before starting S2 though as that'll bring S2 into focus much more than going S2 -> OVA. A lot of folks wanted answers to the bigger questions in the series, which S2 doesn't really address at all. That's a bit of the reason for the backlash and the ending can feel a bit rushed if you focusing elsewhere. But OVA -> S2 should really clear that up, IMO.

Is this anime weekly?

I could use a Darker Than Black fighting game. I just got done watching all of it after sitting on it forever. Really enjoyed it. I want a Season 3.

I'd want a Fate/Stay Night fighting game. Some of the battles in Unlimited Blade Works are ridiculous.

Jack-O is the closest thing we have to Hei (only because of the mask).

I'd be down for a Go Nagai fighting game. Just all the characters. Mazinger, Devilman, Enma-Kun, fuck it throw Getter Robo in there as well even though that's Ken Ishikawa.

There's always Fate/Unlimited Codes. If you like ridiculous, the game is perfect for you!

Personal favorite anime of all time: Slayers (first 2 seasons only)

Surprised that never got turned into a fighter.

Yeah, the 3rd season was a bit too gloomy by the end, but i still enjoyed it. You should definitely watch Slayers Evolution and Evolution-R if you haven't; they're a lot more reminiscent of the first two seasons.

Jesus, that looks all kinds of broke.

I like it.

If we could get something more modern, I wouldn't mind CC2 getting their mitts on UBW somehow after Naruto.

Yeah, there's a reason we pronounce F/UC the way it looks.

The game is really fun though (imo). Game has a ton of execution though due to all the TKs you have to input for everything.

Eighting also put a ton of cool stuff for fans of the series as well when certain supers hit certain enemies.

Might be one of my more favorite kusoges.

Damn, Eighting made that, too? What have they been doing since Marvel?

Unfortunately Eighting might've been a bit TOO faithful. Assassin is the worst servant of the game. Also the fact that Caster vs Saber is really awful for Caster since Saber really can negate some of the attacks with her blade iirc lol.

Doing a wiki search, not much lately.

 

[Nyoro SF]

Darker than Black S2 was a big wtf back in the day. They tried to introduce younger female characters as focus probably to broaden series appeal, but it ended up causing theme contradiction out the ass; like imagine if you spent a whole season hyping up Batman and his backstory only to have magic Batgirl star the entire second season, leaving a cliffhanger hanging waaaay out there regarding Batman from S1.

What made it funny is that the director of S2 DtB mocked the detractors by including their concerns in dialogue assigned to joke characters. Pretty clever. Unfortunately it still didn't really fix the problem.

DtB fighting game would be pretty awesome though.

Aw. Looking at the list though, it's interesting to see how much work they get specifically from Capcom and Namco Bandai even if it has slowed down.

You know what animu we all didn't talk about?

Some good ass anime there.

Whoops double post

 

[Shouta]

DtB S2 younger char was really meant to be viewed with Hei. It's just easier to look at her as his proxy for development. The stuff that happens there totally makes sense for him too but it would be messy to try and force him through that after oging through Season 1. The 4 OVAs really help a lot though, as S2 makes more sense after seeing it.

When's cowboy bebop fighting game

 

[Azure J]

Best couple is Kenshin x Karou ;_;

I respect the fuck out of this.

 

[zlatko]

Cowboy Bebop fighter would be so meh lol.

Needs an animu with an extensive focus on fighting and crazy powers.

Hunter x Hunter, One Piece, Naruto, and maybe even Bleach.

HxH or One Piece 2D fighter would be the stuff of jizztastic dreams.

 

[petghost]

A couple tweaks and I think unlimited codes coulda been pretty awesome.

Thinking of a broken game that could have been improved made me remember how dumb unib was at first.

Has there ever been a good game based off an anime or manga? All I can think of is jjba.

It did get a couple of tweaks... on PSP. And they weren't the right tweaks either.

Watered down the combo system and made the game even more broken in some ways.

One Piece 2D fighter would be the stuff of jizztastic dreams.

I've had so many wright ups about this idea, I can't imagine all the new gameplay designs from so many unique characters in this universe and the main cast would seem boring compared to the rest of the characters they face.

Gundam EXVS. Don't know whether it's still king of arcades or not though. Xenoverse seemed to be well received too.

EDIT: Haven't seen this mentioned. But it looks like here is at least one more patch coming for PS4 USFIV. Wish they would go the extra mile and fix Akuma's theme.

is this an honest question

Most of the DBZ games are great. Yugioh also, if you want to get technical. Then there's the Bleach DS games, Jump Superstars DS, the Naruto Ninja Storm series, Digimon World DS/Dawn/Dusk, Tatsunoko vs. Capcom (again, if you wanna get technical), and so on.

This is just a list of the stuff I liked. There's plenty more that people will be happy to mention.

 

[Rhapsody]

P4U2 2.0 will be having a 3v3 side tourney at Arc Revo. Even if it's not a main game, nice to see it there.

 

[Vice]

So, he has one foot on a banana peel. A google search leads to the term "One foot in the grave, one foot on a banana peel." Could it be Necro since his name means death. Gen, since he's dying. Or, maybe it's just Blanka because it's a banana.

There'll even be a tournament stage @ e3!

EDIT: we got $10k for GG as well

I said this earlier.

Fuudo is going to e3. Capcom mentioned that there will be a tournament stage as well. Is it just Fuudo going for that?

We'll have to wait.





How are some of you going to hate on Vash? You want a generic hero and story? The dude is the goat.

I missed it, sorry m8

A banana?! Interactables?!

This probably means we'll get something before e3, maybe today or tomorrow

I'm begging you. No tripping/interactables that mess with the gameplay.

I still feel bad I haven't gotten around to watching Baccano, had a friend give it to us a while back. Right now we're watching Gintama, but I wouldn't consider that too friendly to someone new to anime really.

I tried but couldn't. The show hops around too much to the point it doesn't finish scenes. Annoying >_<

Personally:
Juuni Kokki / The Twelve Kingdoms
Seirei no Moribito / Guardian of the Sacred Spirit
Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex
Black Lagoon
Ergo Proxy
Honey & Clover
Last Exile
Blue Gender
Trinity Blood

Are probably all safe picks.

For manga:
Sangokushi (Romance of the Three Kingdoms)
Vagabond
Real

I cant believe Death Note is so popular and recommended.

It's a fun series. People saying it's deep are kidding themselves though.

Just traded a Nintendo Entertainment System for this.

I've been using a PS3 stick for PC, so I'm gonna play some PS3 fighters... Any console or PS3 exclusive fighters to try out?

I've already got Jojo's ASB

UNIEL, GGxrd, Chaos Breaker (or Dark Awake: The King Has No Name) are at the top of my list probably.

Oh and to those that asked:

I've watched Cowboy Bebop and Dragon Ball Z to completion. I also think Champloo, but I don't care for it much.

Bebop is one of my favorite things ever, though.

Champloo is Bebop, but better.

and now banned in China (alongside Sword Art Online)

Had one of the rare times I was able to play someone non-laggy in UM (just not enough American players). CH Vapor Cannoning folks is so satisfying.

2k2um with another Finn is bliss.

Speaking of Vash the Stampede, I might throw out Gungrave as an anime to be aware of which is written by the same author as Trigun. Aside from the heavy gunplay they aren't really alike, I just thought Gungrave was great. I will say that you should skip the 1st episode, or at least be aware is very different in tone from most of the show. The show also has supernatural elements that come into play, especially in the last arc, but most of the show is a mafia story and I thought it was great.

I agree with this. Gungrave is surprisingly good.
