Seeing that Deadpool test footage makes me sad that we will probably never get something that great.

I know, it looked like they really nailed him. That movie needs to be made. Oh, have you seen the old leaked deadpool script? It was so good.

It's a year or two old now. You should just be able to google it, I might have a copy saved. I'll check tomorrow afternoon, PM me if you can't find it and I'll look.

oh man, the "smack your parents" line is wayyyyy worse/different in Japanese.
People are weird about that game. I get why many people think it's great, I have no idea why they are so rabid about it. I guess some people are happy about finally having something to play on the PS4, especially those who went from 360 last gen and maybe missed the original.

jeez
superior dub confirmed
Space Dandy's scripting and voice acting really deserve an A+ for the effort they have been putting into the Dub. Great lines, great delivery, and (most importantly) the humor translates well in the dialogue and not just by the events taking place on the screen. Most dubbed anime comedy's tend to be very physical/outlandish since most of the subtle humor and word play (see Pervert and Transform in One Piece as well as another joke) are lost in translation.

Yo! Right here.
Sailor Moon Mondays: Sailor Moon Episode 23:
Ah yes, this was truly crafted in a different time where a grown man and a junior high school student could earnestly be in love and nobody would bat an eye. Also, Mamoru and Maokoi are both wearing some of the downright ugliest shirts I have ever seen. Anyway, the Sailor Moon series clearly has confidence in its own storytelling at this point and for the first time the Scouts and indeed their civilian counterparts are presented with a genuine moral dilemma that has no easy answers and that is quite wondrous indeed. It is also nice that the moral quandary is only not resolved but is deepened as a shot at redemption is presented. Yes, clearly Sailor Moon was elevating itself to new levels with this arc and it shows. Highest possible recommendation and one of the best episodes of the season really.
Sailor Moon Mondays: Sailor Moon Episode 24
This is basically the second part ans things continue directly off the previous episode and brings the Nephrite arc to its climax as all of the linger plot threads reach their logical conclusion. I will state right now that it is a testament to the writing prowess of this program that they managed to get a heavy emotional investment in the
in only the span of a two episodes. Sure, it has been something that had been part of the arc, but like everything else it was in the background of the monster of the week formula. Indeed the team here shows they they can handle heavy emotions like melancholy and bitter-sweetness with a very deft hand. Also worth mentioning is just how violent this got,
really some scenes look like they come from DBZ or One Piece, it is quite impressive and I am now wondering how this looked on American TV. Anyway, this along with the previous episode has been the pinnacle of season one by a long shot and should not be missed, once again highest possible recommendation.

Nephrite-Naru pairing
Nephrite gets four plant spears pierces through his chest and there is quite a lot of blood,
I guess I shouldn't be all that surprised about people not actually seeing all of DBZ seeing as how we got the 2nd half of the Frieza in 1998 and CN finished their first run of the series in 2003. For me, that was late high school/early college days for me so I caught it every day it was on. Some of the younger audience could have missed it entirely.
I know I haven't seen all of Dragonball, but I read the entire manga start to finish a few years ago. I haven't even really watched the abridged series either.

I do enjoy the Dub liberties taken
48fps though. Pre-order cancelled.
At least the reviewer admits he's alone on an island with his dislike of the game
I like how an 8 is a 'dislike' for the game.
For the record this is just an HD rerelease of a game from last year at full price and some DLC included. I dunno why they even bothered to review it again.
Think of the clicks man! The ad money! We're gonna be rolling in it!
It should be a review on the more technical changes to the game as it is a remaster of the game and none of the story has actually changed in any way. I need to see if anyone made any comments about the quality of the commentary track.
I know of one other guy that hated the game and put of a negative review of it last year. He too realized he was one of the only people on the planet who didn't like the game at all and acknowledged it in his review.

Well there we go, I guess we should probably enact a no spoiler policy for dbz kai then
Even better is when people complain that it's too low, despite the fact they haven't even played the game yet. I know this isn't the case, but still perplexes me how people call reviewers "wrong" when the game hasn't even been released yet, so they haven't even played it themselves.
(I can't believe I'm about to defend Polygon)
For it's scores, Polygon uses a roundtable where the reviewer sits down with others and they come up with a score together using the text of the review as the base, and the opinions of others to influence it. Phil hated the game, and the fact that it even got a 7.5 last time was probably because everyone else of the staff loved it (It was their GOTY last year).
Jeff Gerstmann gave Majora's Mask, a game he despises, an 8.3 on Gamespot back in the day, because their job wasn't to review the game to how they felt, it was to review the game to how the audience would enjoy it. He understood that it was a "good" game his audience would enjoy, but he hated it. It's why Game Informer years ago gave the GCN version of Paper Mario a low score- they "liked" the game, but thought that their audience would hate it (ie, 14-17 year olds), so they gave it a bad score.
If your treating reviews as buying advice, this is probably the best way to review games. If you are treating reviews as journalism, than it's the wrong way to do it.
Agreed. I made a similar comment about the Kill la Kill dub. While there is a fine line, I find that typically a dub is better if they take liberties to westernize and/or add flavor to otherwise literal translations of the subtitles.

is it, though? i feel like some random dude reviewing games isn't terribly qualified to tell me how everyone else will feel about something except in some really obvious cases.
Hard to tell since Wantanabe tends to be heavily influenced by the west in most of his animes.

I think I've watched Be My All scene like 15 times now, Space Dandy truly is a special show
I thought last episode was going to be a stereotypical Japanese school. Didn't expect to see school buses and Beverly Hills lol.
I forgot who said it but yea Balalalalalika did talk english in the sub verison of the Black Lagoon episode this past week. I was looking it up and saw that Funi actually put up the entire series subbed (of course) on youtube. Here is the episode, the English is thrown in there a bit but it's jarring because the characters all speak Japanese obviously but break into English in certain parts
The animation alone was crazy, I thought the episode would be just a normal HS parody but it went down the Grease/Glee/High School Musical road so easily
Also the blond chick looked like Zelda for some reason

I'll leave that up to the thread. Like Seda said, I've probably picked up stuff by osmosis anyway over the years.
Maybe treat it like One Piece, where spoilers are clearly marked?
I guess I'll need to be high for that one too. Both the animation from the upcoming episode and the plant one reminds me so much of Cat Soup.
You don't. You don't begin.

I liked the plant episode though :X

not particularly. i think the only real difference is that the first season had an episode about a ramen shop
in general, maybe
there's nothing unreasonable about saying "don't spoil it in this thread", though

DBZ is weird in that people probably know the big story beats, the truly important stuff, but don't know/remember the little things in between. like, Namek blowing up is a meme at this point.
