I dunno how I feel about this gigantic retcon of the series, like Goku being like 7 when the send him.
Fuck gods green eath.
He is literally the most badass character in the entire series.

People like that use the word "anime" to describe video games with a certain aesthetic. Anime is a medium with lots of different artstyles. Saying that something looks "anime" is dumb.
He is, I wouldn't mind a Bardock mini series, but I guess we got the movies so that's something

So I just described Persona 4 why I like it.
Went rather well much to my surprise

So they're basically saying it's either too Japanese looking or it's too weeb-ish...
Like the Tales games?
I don't believe you.
Could be said of a lot of games.
Vicar Amelia is the latest boss I've beaten and I beat her first try. I died to BFB once because I was unprepared for poison. I did use Flame Paper on BFB and Shock Paper on Vicar Amelia, but even without it I doubt it would of been much trouble. Only took 2-3 tries on Father and Cleric Beast as well. I've also rarely hit walls in Souls games so maybe that's why I'm not having much trouble. Everything continues to be simple if you take your time. It could be construed as harder if you're really bad at dodging in this game, but eh, I'm alright. It feels really good to dodge forward through attacks and sprays of bullets.
I have things to do and now I just want to play more Bloodborne. It's too good.
It's a lazy term used by people to throw anime games or whatever else under the bus usually from what I've seen. It's easier to discount something based off a surface view rather than give it a fair shake.

You will never know the anger Tales of Xillia 2 put me through
Is it from Tokyo Revelations? I watched that when I was a kid and never new until years later it was from a SMT anime thing.
It's fine, tho. It's fine!

Yeah, pretty much.
Maaan Bardock is so rad
I don't really want anymore, we have enough, he was a badass and then he became the Super Saiyan of legend, I say quit while they're ahead.
(Amusingly I guess that means Vegeta descended from Bardock)

No that's a completely different thing. I can't imagine a kid watching Tokyo Revelations...
That's fair, sometimes it's better to keep things short instead of overdoing it
It is dumb, which is why i get confused when some people say SMT is "anime"
It was when the sci-fi channel used to show weird anime after 12 at night. First anime's I ever seen where Devilman, Genocyber, Violence Jack etc etc

Tales games look so unappealing. I got my Action RPG fix from Kingdom Hearts tho.

I have no problem with it. I do it all the time. It's the easiest way to describe a certain art style and while we all know there's a ton of variation, we also all know exactly what the other is talking about when you use anime to describe an art style.
Easiest way to describe the art style of Valkyrie Drive is to just say it's anime.

No matter what people tell me about the Tales games, it's looks so uninspired and generic, that I don't want to give it a shot.
That moment I realize Bardock descended from himself and reincarnated.

It feels weird that Sci-fi channels do that. It's pretty cool tho.

The whole cutesy art design that the series is going for really turns me off to trying the game.
Yet I hear them come up constantly when talking about action RPGs.
I can't see them in the same ballpark as Souls games now.
That makes sense, i usually thought when people use the word anime to describe things, they were referring to dumb creepy tropes and stuff like that

There is nothing about the Tales games that appeals to me. It looks like light fantasy, a genre that I actively hate. The art looks cute for the sake of it, and so lifeless.

The art isn't for everyone, but the combat is actually fun. Especially in later games, Graces F and Hearts R have really in depth and rewarding combat. The stories are hit or miss along with the cast, but they have a simple charm that's easy to get into and they do a lot of stuff late game that messes with expectations of JRPG formula.
They're by no means top shelf JRPGs, but they're consistently fun and overall the series is pretty good in my opinion.

Movie? Bible Black is 6 episodes not including the sequels.

Yes! Gravity Falls is absolutely fantastic! You won't regret it.
Holy shit, Obsidian you clever bastards.
Guys, you know how in RPGs like this, you can attack your fellow friendly NPCs but it's considered a horrible, game-ending idea?
Look at this shit from the tutorial. Your main quest changes if you attack friendlies.
I am tempted to go batshit insane evil
