Can't beat Final Fantasy XIII going to 360 and Final Fantasy XIV being an MMO. Both of those were at E3 too.
"We're releasing Final Fantasy VI for PS4!"
"It has the shitty iOS graphics! Wahahahaha!"

I don't know what was worse, 2006 Sony (RIIIDGE RACER, $599 US DOLLARS, GIANT ENEMY CRABS) or 2008 Nintendo (Cammy Dunaway, Wii Music cringe, casual focus).
& then Nintendo was all "okay so we have a vitality sensor for the Wii that we'll never release BUT NOW HAVE TEAM NINJA'S METROID, FORGOT ABOUT THAT SENSOR THING DIDN'T YA?!?!"
Hate the fact not only do I have class when Nintendo will do their digital E3 event, but it's a quiz day as well.

Nothing will top Konami 2010. Nothing. Legendary status in my book. I think each of the big 3 have pretty bad conferences under their belt but only Sony and Microsoft have botched reveals of consoles which in turn crushed the anticipation for their consoles. The closest Nintendo got was the WiiU reveal but even then it isn't nearly as bad as 599 or TVTVTVSPORTSTVTV
I hated the fact Konami 2010 actually confirmed Otomedius (as I'm a shmup fan), but was like "HEY SO WE SAID IT'S LIKE GRADIUS BUT LET'S SHOW NONE OF THE GAMEPLAY & ACTUALLY CENSOR THE BOOBS IN THE OPENING VIDEO, GIVING PEOPLE NO IDEA WHAT ITS ABOUT & THINK IT'S GENERIC ANIME GAME #573!!"
For the record, TVTVSPORTSTVSPORTS wasn't E3. It was a separate reveal conference that happened a couple weeks before.
But yeah, Konami 2010 should have been the biggest clue that something was severely wrong over there.
My fault. Yeah, the E3 conference wasn't as bad but the whole thing was a mess behind the scenes with the DRM killing the momentum XBone had going into the fall. I think the conference itself in retrospect wasn't that bad. Way better than the kinect reveal conference.
I still don't understand why people were trolled by the XIV announcement. It looked exactly like a follow up to FF XI right from the very start of the trailer and we knew full well that SE was deep in development on a new MMO that looked an awful lot like it was going to be XI's successor.

I think those were the same people that hate the fact there are numbered Final Fantasy games that are also MMOs. I'm not even sure how those people exist. I was completely fine with a new FF MMO at the time. My feelings at launch were, however, very different. At least ARR fixed that.
And I do agree. Konami 2010 is probably the best thing ever to come out of an E3 just because of how batshit insane it was.

The Ninja Slayer broadcast dub preview was orgasmic. Sabat nails it, yet again.
Yeah, I was super pumped for XIV after the announcement. Then I tried playing the beta. :/
ARR is rad, though.
Other really bad E3 stuff:
- The Kinect reveal event, where all attendees had to wear those Silver robes and Cirque de Soule preformed
-Last years EA event, where they didn't actually have games to show, so they just had people strap GoPros to themselves and talk vaugly about new game ideas, had a Cello performance where the presenter said afterwards "All of the feels!", and ended with this giant smoke/pyrotechnic display that they were launching a beta
-That one Sony press conference that had Chewbacca come out on stage to hand Kaz a PSP

Hey guys.
The mod team as a whole, while not 'cracking down on it' is paying a little more mind to off topic chatter in community threads.
Some leniency towards game chatter is fine, but try to truncate extended conversations. Dubbed or shonen anime, English licensing, CN/AS, cartoons, and such are totally within the thread subject.
Talk about what one had for breakfast, how tough your finals are, etc, don't really belong. (Some comm. threads wish each other good morning / good night on a daily basis and we definitely aren't that far gone)
As I said before, this thread's post volume is mostly live reactions, but just a heads up.

If I may be frank, NeoGAF has been awful about defining community. It is meant to be a hangout to discuss things like sports, TV, etc. but then there are particular subjects that SHOULD be moved to community but aren't. Stuff like TV shows, movies, events stay in off topic when they more or less fit the community mold. Heck when something is moved over to community many see it as a death sentence for many and I can see why since it is hard to attract new posters over to community due to shitty promotion of the tabs. I honestly think OT's should be changed to move to community much quicker for all games AND off topic subjects so community can get more traffic instead of gaming and off topic.
As far as discussions go I think of this place as a nice safe haven from GAF general since I know many of the posters here. I think that is why it veers 'off topic' on the weekdays since there is no point to create another topic on gaming to discuss it with a close knit group. We tend to be pretty good about discussing anime but with E3 craziness so close you can expect this shit to happen all over the website.
That being said I will drop the subject unless some major news comes around and I need a breather from gaming side (*cough*TLG getting cancelled*cough*). With Momocon coming up and Inuyasha ending I suppose we can start hyping up replacement anime again even if one slot is more or less set in stone.

Is this KorraGAF? It kind of sounds like KorraGAF. KPop I hear was pretty bad too.
I think Sailor Moon will replace Kill la Kill's slot. It is to high profile to get any other. JoJo could replace Inuyasha but it has poor timing with no clips of the dub (for Parts 1 or 2) out and Inuyasha ending in a few weeks.
Sailor Moon will replace Inuyasha and take over at 12:30, pushing everything else back half an hour. It isn't hard.
We hit the peak a couple episodes ago and we are surely heading for a valley. The series has enough going on to keep you engaged but I just wanted to warn everyone that the next few weeks are going to make us lose our way pretty badly with one particular moment in the series that frustrates the hell out of me.
Sailor Moon, I think, still has a ton of western appeal. And as we've seen with Kai, nostalgia can go a looong way.
So how about that local sports team?
We are in the low point that TTGL had in the middle. It'll pick back up and have a strong finish. I pretty much had the same reaction the first time watching it as well, so you aren't really alone in that feeling.
Sorry Seda

Do we really wanna be stuck with Crystal taking up a slot though? The nostalgia will wear off pretty quick as soon as episode 1 airs, where I feel like the majority of people here will say "oh yeah, this is pretty bad huh?"
The final stretch of the show is better imo. That's when it goes full on crazy and I can dig that.
This middle portion is definitely the weakest, but still enjoyable.
Regardless of what we want, I think we're going to get it. I just can't imagine Toonami passing up the chance to air a redone Sailor Moon series.

I'm having fun with KLK. I can see why people expecting it to be the next Gurren are disappointed, but it doesn't even seem like remotely the same show except for some resemblences in artstyle and how crazy it can get.
The dub for both shows are so on point as well.

Eh, it was super popular when it came out and generates a ton of buzz. Plus dubbing as a whole has improved over the years. I am actually surprised Bleach turned out as bad as it did due to poor direction of talented VA's and a bland script.
It's pretty clear that Viz produces the worst dubs. Even Sentai has some personality.

Having a bad script is a big reason why dubs, even with good talent and good direction, can be bad. The best voice acting in the world wouldn't sound great in a show with bad writing.
in terms of production of shows, this is the important parts of a good dub
1. Director - Most important by far
2. Dialogue could be shit
3. VA's
A good director can get a good performance out of a mediocre VA, and having good VA's work on shows with shit directors will produce shit VA performances
generally the localization can change some really bad dialogue, but there's honestly so much of a turd that you can polish
The recent manga rerelease did phenomenal numbers.

I think you're greatly underestimating it, there is a reason viz has been redubbing the entire series and pushing half seasons out pretty quickly. The manga as man god said sold very well when it was officially released over here a few years ago and viz/hulu push sailor moon mondays for the new official sub episodes.
Sailor Moon Crystal will be on toonami, we may see Sailor Moon uncut but most likely it'll be crystal which is currently 26 episodes (will probably get a second season) so at worst its a year on the block.
