I do think Length hurt the game really badly. And while the game play is fun in the Korra game, I don't think it's deep enough or complex enough to really warrant more than 2 playthoughs if that. (Which is a shame since Bayo is amazing, but then again that's comparing 60$ games to a 15$ one which isn't fair.)

Also for a Warriors games. One Piece Pirate warriors 2/3 actually have a decent amount of depth in it. I mean, they actually do have cancels and your first playthough can actually be pretty challenging if you start on hard mode.)
 
Haha , je viens de faire que vous alliez et traduire cela. Vous dansez dans la paume si ma main , Icy . Et , à la fin, je serai toujours à droite

You are so right my Lord Veelk, all those peasants dance in your hands!!

Anyway, anyone else read the disc world novels? I read a few of the out of order, but since pratchetts death, I'm trying to get through the whole series. I'm on the light fantastic now.

Did you just imply that TLoK DOESN'T have cancels?

Oh, no not that. I know it has those, it's more...how can I say it. I think the type of combat it presents wasn't utilized in a way that you needed every single one of your bending styles even on higher difficulties. Since it was Bayo lite, I expected being able to cancel out of any move and continue or rest a combo.

But the Elements are super imbalanced. Compare to say, DMC 3 Nevana, good lord that weapon is nearly useless to a first time player. Most will look at it once and never try it again. However it's easily one of the more powerful weapons in the game once you get the hang of it.

Legend of Korra, elements are flat out better than one another. Fire Bending speed doesn't really make up for the lack of power and it's not like the other elements are particularly slow.

I was surprised however, when their were Cancels in the One Piece games, like being able to dodge mid combo and continue the combo types of cancels considering how most people talk about those type of games I thought I was just going to be mindlessly mashing away. But I actually was challenged at some points.
 
Its better then Naruto although there are some similarities between the series (Sasuke and Kuripika)

What made you think I thought you were pretenious?

And what I mean by never finishing is that the creator Togashi is a lazy piece of shit.

I mean look at this release schedule:

Geez..
 
I don't get why Chapter Black is regarded as being so terrible. I really liked Chapter Black. It's not as good as the Dark Tournament, but it's incredibly close and certainly better than the Spirit Detective and Demon World sagas.
I liked Chapter Black a lot better the second time. Sensui was a great mirrored version of Yusuke and the territories give off a stands vibe to Jojo's Bizarre Adventure. I don't hate it at all actually, it was just very dark, which I wasn't expecting it to be. The multiple personalities of Sensui was a pretty nice touch as well.
And his wife, she created Sailor Moon.
I actually can't believe they're still together, but that's nice to know actually.

I swear back in the day when I was in middle school, like every dude watched Sailor Moon and had their personal favorite (it took them a while to admit it, but shit is hilarious in hindsight). We were getting into heated arguments about which Sailor Scout was the baddest.

Mars and Jupiter are the only right answers. Though Mercury isn't bad either. I'm not really into blondes and Venus was never that interesting to me. Uranus has swagger, but she's taken by Pluto?

It's Neptune

and yea... Sailor Mars was my other favorite. Idk why, but seeing her working at the shrine drawn me to her.
 
Lol I had no idea about that dynamic. I got no girls so it was never anything I had to deal with. Got looked at wrong for other reasons.

In HS all I hung out with was girls, even the two 'out' lesbians in the school always hung out with me. Not even bragging because I was only a 'guy friend' to all of them but one.

Anyhow, time to thirst at Sailor Jupiter pics on tumblr
 
And it was always with Goku for some reason

But yeah, back in the day we all loved Sailor Moon and the process of everyone admitting it was hilarious.
I would like to think Goku has higher standards than to lay down with Sailor Moon. Sailor Moon is the plain girl surrounded by hotter women, but thinks she can compete with them.

Not sure if true, but hasn't Togashi been taking a bunch of breaks for HxH due to being quite sick very often?

Nope, whenever a mangaka goes on break or miss a week there always reason given for the break and a return date.

When Kubo went on break for two weeks they stated he was recovering from the flu.

Arakawa went on breaks a few times during FMA because she was pregnant.

When Oda is on one week breaks for reserch or they say he recovering from his bad flu he had.

And they always give a expected week of return unless it is a serious medical condition. Like with the DGM creator.

With Togashi they flat out state HxH will be on hiatus with no dates or reason for the delay.

The only time we got a why was last year when they said hes back was hurting that was atleast 8 months ago. Plus if it was more serious we would have more info.

Yea, that's exactly how it went down for me. This dude had some Sailor Moon x DBZ hentai printed out and had everybody all in his bookbag looking at it. My young little innocent mind back then was forever tainted.

It's pretty alright. Better than Crystal, that's for sure.

Then again, you're talking to the guy who thinks DBZ is a good watch if you have the Kai version.

I may not like DBZ but if you are going to watch DBZ, Kai is the better choice just because it cuts out alot of the useless padding in original anime.
 
And his wife, she created Sailor Moon.



And people say he doing research, HxH is no game of thrones it really doesn't have a continuing story outside of the Troupe.

I'm seriously surprised how fast my ignore list has grown.
The Chimera Ants and whatever Pariston with them is doing is going on as well.

Togashi's most recent hiatus is due to him injuring his back. Originally, it was two weeks. Then, it changed to "until further notice." So who the fuck knows.

Also, Katsura Hoshino, the creator of D. Gray-Man, released a picture on Twitter a month ago of Allen Walker. I think it was to signify that her hand is getting much better and she should be able to go back to it again.

Hope fully. I need my DGM back!

Pariston now is most likely using them for the expedition, but as I said HxH doesn't have much of a continuing story like GoT or other mangas to where he needs breaks to think/research about the story.

Hopefully, so far its just pictures she has done I need to see if her hand will be able to handle the stress of a monthly series again.

Same thing happened to me. Except it was some guy who had somehow printed out porn from his dad's work office and he used to show it to everyone at the back of the school bus. I must've been in 6th grade, lol.

I think I must have witnessed my first rule34 on newgrounds or something.

Okay been wanting to make this post for a bit.

Legend of Korra top Villain designs.

I pretty much like all the villain designs in LoK, hell one of them is my favorite villain design of the entire franchise. None of the designs are over the top or impractical.

1. Amon: His design is simple yet effective (my favorite designs), Amon is a tall man that has nothing but a bit of battle gear that cover up any skin, a hood and a simple red and white kabuki mask. Besides for the end we never get to see whats under all that gear except for his piercing grey eyes.

The reason why he has the best designed villain of the franchise is just how they use his design in the show. Episodes like A Voice in the Night and The Revolution are great utilization of his designs to make he threatening, mysterious, powerful and just a force.

2. Kuvira: Her and Amon were neck and neck, but as I said how they used Amon design put him ahead. Her design is simple and effective, a military design with showing off her authority and her power with every few imperfections besides the mole and her hair (preferred if they keep her ponytail but it be a bitch to animate). Her metal bands actually serve a purpose besides looking cool she can use them to fight and restrain.

3. Zaheer: His later design is reminiscent of gurus and air nation clothing we have seen in the series. A robe like clothing and a stash in darker colors grey and dark green that contrast withe the traditional bright air nation colors yellow and orange.

I wish Zaheer keep his hair and epic beard though, they reminded me of Alan Moore. Although it makes sense why he changed it. To blend in because if he kept that shit he be spotted in a heart beat.

4. Vaatu & Una...: Not much i can say about Vaatu, he a kite like spirit and his colors are supposed to contrast Raava and represent him being the spirit of choas etc. Like how in the wan episodes there are little tweaks to his design as he separates from Raava and he grows bigger.

Unalaq: I don't like his design.

I don't care how many animators it would've killed they should've kept that ponytail, but nope, bob cut Korra had to get all the hair physics. And then when Kuv's hair gets all messed up she looks hotter any way. Korra can't style her hair and Asami is nothing but expensive haircare products; Kuvira has the best hair.

Zaheer is just too cool with dat epic mane. I don't know what kind of shampoo and conditioner they gave him in prison, but I want a bottle of it. An Alan Moore looking anarchist voiced by Henry Rollins' is too perfect in retrospect.

Yeah, I get why they had to cut the ponytail since having to animate it moving for every frame Kuvira would be in would be a massive pain. I was just listening to the third episode of book 3 commentary and Mike talked about how much Studio Mir hated animating the little tassels and stuff on the Earth Queen.

I wouldn't be surprised one of the reasons Korra got her hair redesign was to make her hair easier on the animators. Plus short hair FTW, she so good with the short hair to me.

He probably used loreal since he worth it. /bad joke

At least he grew it back in season 4

Wonder how he got that scar? My head canon says he got it from either Sooka or Tonroq when he tried to kidnap Korra.
