Can’t even imagine what people close to him are going through right now…
Suda51 naming a major antagonist in No More Heroes after the CEO of Unity and immediately shilling the hell out of Unreal Engine for Travis Strikes Again might be the funniest thing that man has ever done. I respect that level of pettiness.
JoJo Fridays was one of the most exciting events within the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure fandom, and all the episodes of each cour of the Stone Ocean anime being dumped in one go on Netflix just killed it.
'Scott Pilgrim Takes Off' creator says Netflix releasing all episodes at once is 'the dumbest shit ever'
"There's literally no upside. Imagine if the whole season of X-Men 97 was out"
Real-world wearable versions of Sonic's in-game sneakers is like the second easiest money-making Sega tie-in after "Sonic the Hedgehog × Sonic Drive-In", and they've done neither.
My apologies everyone. I might’ve gotten a little too excited yesterday. PUMA has stated once again that they’re NOT making the shoes Sonic’s wearing in the

despite the teaser they posted on their Instagram story.
"If you're mad about ROM sites being taken down, start paying for your games"
Motherfucker I bought Scott Pilgrim when it came out and I literally cannot play it in any legal capacity anymore. Shut up.
"'Rise of Skywalker' has the pacing and energy of a shonen battle manga that's getting canned and needs to tie up all its plot threads in like five chapters"
goddamn
Kira Buckland did a fandub of the manga version of this scene like five years ago or something
It's so wild that she finally got to perform it for the official dub of the anime
"If Square Enix wants to make Dragon Quest a hit, they need to re-examine the series' character designs"
...the character designs?
You mean the character designs by Akira Toriyama?
Akira Toriyama, author of Dragon Ball, one of the most prolific anime franchises in the world?

If his fight with Terry in Batman Beyond is any indication, Joker would probably ragequit super-villainy altogether if he had to put up with Peter on a daily basis.
Easily one of my favorite bits of Stan Lee shenanigans was him partnering up with the artist of Shaman King to produce a manga for Shonen Jump...
...and then appearing in said manga as its main antagonist.
ABSOLUTE LEGEND.

it's a shame that discotek controversy with jelloapocalypse is gonna be used as fuel by the worst anti-dub/localization weirdos online for like the next five years
"Chadwick Boseman gets NFT tribute in Oscars nominee bags; half of proceeds go to charity"
I don't even know how to properly articulate how fucking disgusting this is.
soooo toonami aired a really great BLM speech the other night that said just the right things to their weeb target audience
but naturally because their target audience is... weebs, they got... this for it
I sometimes think about how Marvel didn't want Capcom making their characters look like chumps in pre-release marketing for MvC Infinite, meanwhile Nintendo's flagship mascot was getting bodied in almost every Smash Bros. trailer he appeared in for between 3DS/Wii U and Ultimate.
this inmage is permanently associated with the random hardcore rightwing youtuber who was furious that Sakurai was allowed to have this imagery because it was inappropriate for children
If you're playing Sword / Shield tonight, you might wanna disable the autosave function for the time being. Multiple players are reporting an autosave glitch that could potentially wipe your SD card clean.

"Bayo's original actress being a centrist or possible right-oid is bad" and "She still deserves proper compensation for her voicework" are statements that can and should co-exist
etika assaulted a police officer and a bunch of stupid, screaming teenagers were egging him on
yeah thanks for that guys, totally not adding on to any stereotypes about our community
I'm not invested in Star Wars that much, if at all, but I remember coming out of Force Awakens thinking that Rey, Finn, and Poe would be a cool trio to watch grow and develop.
So much for that.
"americans on twitter are projecting social and racial issues onto japan, no one there actually cares about those issues"

Someone could easily respond with "Back in the day, if you wanted a stand-up comedy special, you actually had to tell funny jokes", but I'm not gonna be the one to do that.
look, I'm beyond indifferent to minecraft, but if you're seriously crying about nintendo putting a character in smash to "pander" to fans of a certain game, I think you might've forgotten what smash bros. is
shoutout to when a woman made a post about their son beating Forces, only to have her mentions flooded with Very Intelligent And Rational Fans begging her to introduce her kid to other games in the series so that he can """develop standards"""
the weirdest thing about current Sonic Discourse is the intense morality people insist on bringing into it
they HAVE to proect people from liking Sonic Forces, or else that will directly damage the quality of the franchise, and hurt the person enjoying a videogame
@HatokTalk
We should absolutely be calling for higher standards in localization and pointing out fantastic examples of that, but the discussion is so poisoned by chuds.
I'm honestly not bothered by characters being voiced by someone of a different ethnicity as them.
Samurai Jack was voiced by a Black dude, it ain't THAT big of a deal in my opinion. What should matter with voice-over work is whether or not your performance is good.
@KrisWolfheart
also love the overly-optimistic cartoons implying that 9/11 would weaken the political divides between americans a little more instead of doing the exact opposite
@HatokTalk
Most Last of Us / Sony stans in general take their shit way too seriously. Doom has an edgy charm to it that lends itself to fun crossover art with Animal Crossing and stuff like that.
digging up a voice actor's questionable politics to justify them not being seen as valuable assets to a game or anime project is pretty corny, gonna be real
unless it's someone doing ACTUAL shady shit in the real world, read the room
Kazuki Takahashi died in an attempt to save people from drowning in a rip current... Jesus.
It's a tragedy. He'll mostly be remembered for his influence on an entire generation of kids, but he should definitely be remembered as a goddamn hero.
It cannot be overstated just how influential Akira Toriyama's work is -- even beyond Dragon Ball.
Dragon Quest, Chrono Trigger, Sand Land, among others.
This is heartbreaking.
We're not interested in implementing backwards compatibility on PS4, because let's be honest -- no one wants to play those ugly, old, archaic games.
Speaking of which, we're releasing the PlayStation Classic. Be sure to pre-order yours soon, it's a limited item.
@HatokTalk
I thought it was fairly common knowledge that Disney tends to treat its animated characters like actors who just slot into whatever role the writers need for a particular show or movie. Guess not.
@LeitungEvolved
Your mileage may vary on the game itself, but the image of Sonic fighting with a sword is rad as fuck and anyone who thinks otherwise isn't my friend
-The House literally doesn't have the votes to adjourn
-As long as it doesn't adjourn, the House is required to take endless speaker votes
-No one can win those votes
-So Kevin McCarthy is stuck in endless repeating, inescapable loop of failing to become Speaker over and over
"Nerds just hate Movie Bob because he proves that you can be a nerd without being a reprehensible piece of human garbage."
Movie Bob: "I wish that Nazis hadn't tainted the concept of Eugenics."
These kinds of mass shootings rarely happen elsewhere in the world.
Why are we willing to live with this carnage? Why do we keep letting this happen? Where in God’s name is our backbone to have the courage to deal with it?
It’s time to turn this pain into action.
I kinda rushed this tweet out, but I forgot to put in the qualifier "make DQ a hit in the West"
Please disregard that Dragon Quest 11 popped off in America, especially after the Switch port.
"the jojo author sucks at writing"
"Really? Why do you think that?"
"because he didn't make it so the guy who saved josuke's life in part 4 was him from the future"
So Daichi Miura is making a cameo in Death Stranding, which is why he was on-stage during Kojima's TGS presentation.
Miura is the singer who did the theme songs for Kamen Rider Ex-Aid and Dragon Ball Super: Broly, by the by.
@envinyon
It's very cool that people can spend years of their lives developing a game or a TV show or a movie only to end up with nothing to show for it because corporations are evil.
@HatokTalk
People really don't like to talk about how the Wii was teabagging the 360 and PS3 for pretty much that entire gen, not unlike how the Switch is teabagging the Xbox Series and PS5 now.
@onixhope
Dude broke NDA to talk about his experience trying to dub an anime, and specifically highlighted one time he threatened to resign from the project if he couldn't scrub out some scene from the final episode that he just didn't think was very funny.
"heh, imagine practicing to play orchestrated music from SONIC UNLEASHED"
implying that sonic unleashed doesn't have one of the single best musical albums in video gaming or that it's not worth being performed by a symphony just because it's a sonic game
This shit was a global event.
No matter how much I dislike the Tournament of Power, I won't take that away from DBS. People were losing their goddamn MINDS.
If this scene from "Super Lady Cop(1993)" doesn't convince you that we need a Blu-Ray of this, nothing will. Also, this is how Tekken 8 is going to look like once all the seasons are out. My man really did a full screen Blanka roll 😂 and Adon's Jaguar Kick. He OP.
I don't watch a ton of dubs myself anymore; the first thing I do when I pick up a new Dragon Ball game is switch the voice-overs to Japanese, and I specifically bought the JPN version of the Sonic X Blu-ray, as a few personal examples.
But dubs can and should still exist.
