Well shit... That's a lot of anime for me to catch up on.

You can just do Aku no Hana if you'd like!

It is 100% open racism. The guy would just write it off as being "ironic" though, which is apparently the kind of humor that flies now.

Maybe someone should actually bring it up in there.

I'm more offended by the way that such flagrant misuse of what 'ironic' means flies these days.

 

[yami4ct]

The dumbest part is how Ico, the universally praised game from japan about protecting a girl, will inevitably get a lttp thread with all the praise and none of the snark.

I'm sort of surprised that TLoU got the snark. I feel like a lot of the snarky-ness in those threads come from people talking about games with anime art. When games choose a different art style, the accusations don't come as quickly or at all.

 

[KirbYuuYuu]

Whoa, that's actually really awesome. All gamers deserve the opportunity to play international games without having to master a second language.

Quite.

Frankly it's part of the reason why I'm not quite as bothered about region locking as some people are. I can't fucking read it, no point in me caring about region locking. Rather get it here in a language that I understand without the need of taking courses.

Yeah, it's really cool. The vast majority of their stuff has been indie games like Sword & Sworcery, but I know they've worked on bigger western translations. I can't remember the ones off the top of my head, though.

Stop sexualising Ellen Page.

I haven't been able to since Hard Candy.

The only airing anime I've consistently been watching this season was Haiyore! Nyarko-san W (and that's a sequel series). Still, it's super fun and filled to the brim with anime and toku references, so it made me giddy. Kind of sad to see it end. T_T

I've been keeping up with that too just because Kuuko is so cute. And is it just me or is Nyarko extra annoying this season?

You can just do Aku no Hana if you'd like!

Nah i'm gonna choose at least four shows to catch up with.

Region locking hurts English-speaking people in Europe and Australia who want to import English-language games from America that aren't available in their own territories.

e: and occasionally fucks Americans too! see: why everyone hates Nintendo of America

 

[yami4ct]

If it's only stuff from this season, I'd go Aku, Valvrave and maybe Gargantia. I didn't care for Gargantia, but I know people generally do so it's worth looking at.

If it's all ongoing, Hunter x Hunter is basically required watching now for anyone who even remotely likes action shows.

Danganronpa Prologue - Chapter 1

Best girl.

Not the most creative of stories (reminds me of the little I've played of Corpse Party, though not really frightening) but it was certainly thrilling to actually feel like you're solving a mystery and getting an incredibly satisfying yet completely horrific reward for doing so. That being said, I have no clue how well if at all this will transition into a 13 episode TV series since the first case took me like an hour to go through. There'll certainly be pacing issues but I hope they can nail the tenseness of the trials.

 

[madp]

DS was region-free though! The only problem with EU-exclusive DS games is that they were ridiculously expensive due to exchange rate. Disaster: Day of Crisis, Another Code R, and (for a while) the Operation Rainfall trio were the big titles in question this gen.

As an aside, I never bought a US copy of Xenoblade because I imported a PAL copy when it was released in Europe. Fuck.

Anyway, right now, 3DS related, there are title's I'd like to play, but they're in japanese, so it won't do me any good. I'm rather pissed that none of the DQ games are coming out here.

I'm seriously pissed about Rocket Slime 3. There's barely even any fucking text to localize, Squeenix! At least I still have my PS1 copy of Dragon Warrior VII.

The 3DS non-localization that bothers me the most at this point is probably Time Travelers or Beyond the Labyrinth; maybe EX-Troopers too but I hate Capcpom's guts so much that I never even bothered to learn much about.

Yeah, Rocket Slime 3 I really wanted since the DS game was pretty damn good. I don't have a copy of DQVII though, and I'm afraid to look at the price. Plus I don't feel like sitting in front of my tv playing games honestly. Especially for something as long as that game.

I'm fairly interested in Monsters.

Seriously why are we not getting DQ7 or RS3 It makes me incredibly sad especially in a world of e-shop digital releases for things like Ace Attorney 5 which have far more text

Rocket Slime never really hit it big in the US, so it's no surprise that series got cut. DQ7 will make it eventually, if possibly only with Nintendo's help. Probably won't even get announced until after Bravely Default releases, though. I wouldn't be too worried about DQ7, look how long it took to announce BD for the west.

Because no one fucking bought the DS releases outside of DQ9 which had dress up features.

I could be way off base here, but it feels like those Eidos dollars make the profits from niche Japanese game localizations seem so small in comparison as to not even be worth the effort. Hell, we wouldn't be getting Bravely Default if Nintendo hadn't stepped in.

The only thing daring about Capcpom making a text-heavy game exclusive to the eshop is their belief that everyone who was interested in the game beforehand will still buy it.

Spoiler

yeah, I'm severely bitter over this

Still interested in the game personally. Speaking, although the fanservice aspects might bother me as much as did with Other M but nowhere near as stupid.

Obviously it was the jerk

May be wrong, but I also thought the commercials were probably inserted by algorithm and not by hand. Algorithm probably looks to put in X number a breaks and after each time interval, it looks for a certain amount of time without dialogue so it doesn't splice in the middle of a conversation.

 

[FelixOrion]

true

 

[zeroshiki]

It really depends on how they say it and in what context. I mean, the fact is that Japan does have a disproportionately large market for creepy goods- I can't personally think of another 1st-world country where porn depicting underaged fictional children is openly sold. That's certainly not a justification for racism or painting everyone in Japan, or everyone who watches anime, as a creep, but the unfortunate fact is that Japan's reputation as haven for creepy consumerism is not unearned.

I'm sorry to bring this back up but loli stuff (and porn in general) is not openly sold anywhere. You need to actually be looking for this stuff to be able to find it.

What I find troubling is that there are alot of people (like the people in that thread) that have this idea that the backstreets of Akihabara somehow represent the country as a whole. I cannot walk to my nearest bookstore and buy porn much less loli porn. They are taking the popularity of a certain type of game or art style and extrapolating it to the general public which is dumb and offensive.

This would be similar to if some Japanese otaku said that Americans are all bloodthirsty rednecks based off the games that are popular there.

 

[KirbYuuYuu]

Would it be possible to get more snapshots of Akihabara?

Maybe I am a bloodthirsty redneck.

I subsist on maruchan chicken ramen.

Sadly, there are ways to generalize Americans over that as well, but lets not get into that.
