finale week! so jazzed to catch up on mob psycho, thunderbolt fantasy and re:zero

@descendfromgrace the first 2 games came out on ps2.... if u can get the discs u might be able to play on pc with an emulator or ps3 if its an early backwards compatible one, and a ps2 of course.

Otherwise its ps3 for yakuza 3 to 5 (only 4 and 5 were digitally released i think)

there are more versions, spinoffs available in japan (like a wiiu remaster/remake) but they haven't been translated so....

@DMCMaster said in JoJo Bizarre Adventure dub on Toonami:

@ChoppedLiver02
Thats Patrick Seitz playing Dio in the WB produced english dub, last I heard Viz was going to re-dub the first season with a different cast for everyone, except for Seitz who is already confirmed to return, and joining Stardust

Is that good news or bad news? im not too familiar with dub studios but shy of cowboy bebop, stand alone complex and death note everything else has paled by comparison. Also I wasn't too happy with their Hunter x Hunter dub which I had eagerly awaited

I still play the DS version but can't get anywhere close to my best score from a few years ago when I also beat the game.

Gonna have to emulate this version tho as my GB is dead :( hope it works with a steam controller too

@Light said in Anime! Who's watching what?:

I want to start on the Fate/ series but now I don't know where to begin. Should I watch the two newer series and skip the first adaption? If so, should I watch the prequel first? Either way I'm apparently spoiling things from the other option.

Its a tough choice either way - going chronologically with the release order or with the events in the timeline. I started with the Studio Deen version of fate/stay night which was ok but not great. I guess I kept watching it for its surprising story elements and battles which papered over the the numerous cracks. Fate/Zero on the other hand was awesome and I definitely recommend that show (but watching it first will spoil stuff for the others). As for Fate/Stay Night: Unlimited Blade works, I got bored and never finished it. Partly because I'd seen the similar earlier adaptation and movie version but also because it didn't compare to Fate/Zero, so why bother? better fights and animation probably.

TL;DR
Fate/stay night: UBW, but if it bores you then skip to Fate/Zero but ymmv

@DarkenRaul1 FMA brotherhood is coming to Crunchyroll in sept i think. they have the licese for subbed and dubbed if u can hold out...

Re:Life was ace! gutted it only ran 13 eps as I felt it could have been longer. Will have to switch to the manga and wait for it to be adapted :(

@GoTaco from 2011 there's hunter x hunter (around 143eps - and the "x" is silent) which is action adventure and starts off much like dragonball, with a kid fishing. Something current would be Re:zero (only 17eps rn), its not action heavy per se but each arc has its scenes of battles. The story is pretty compelling from where it starts off, as a jokey fish out of water comedy. Seinen/m rated pick would prolly be dark fantasy series Berserk from 1997. There are recent movies too abridging most of the story plus a new continuing series picking up from the end of the third movie (getting backlash tho based on use of CG and skipping arcs from manga). Shigurui: death frenzy is also a violent show about samurai and might be worth testing out with a rule of three (also reminded me a little of Afro Samurai because its the same studio and thats prolly a rabbit hole to go down lol).

@Sazime i made it to ep. 8 of season 2 iirc and fell off. Space battles were ace but everything else started making me think I should switch to the manga

So I binged ReLife yday as Crunchyroll adopted the Netflix model for this show and made all 13 episodes available. Its a slice of life high school show with the premise that a NEET (not in education, employment or training) main character is given a chance at fixing his life by taking part in the ReLife experiment - taking a wonder drug that will make take him from 27 to 17 again and going to high-school for a year.

Wasn't expecting to like it but yeah, its a fun show with comedic and melodramatic moments. The character designs aren't stellar (but supposedly true to the webcomic so...) but as the MC , Kaizaki gets into the swing of things its an entertaining show. Season 2 is prolly as far out tho as Attack on Titan has been :(
