Sarcasm? What's that?

Deconstruction? Are you sure you're not confusing that with Evangelion?

I don't see is as deconstruction. Deconstruction of mecha is NGE and deconstruction of mahou shoujo is Nanoha and Madoka (which is also reconstruction).

Hahaha that's a little harsh

.hack? What's that? It sounds like some no name franchise that only has one entry and has never been heard from again. You're surely not insinuating it's a bigger deal than SAO, the smartest anime of all time, are you?

I think it might be more appropriate to say ".hack is its own genre now?"

Sword Art Online is its own genre now? XD

As a Gundam fan, reading the premise and seeing the trailer for Gundam Build Fighters was the most disappointing thing ever. My first reaction: ugghh...really?? The Gundam stories used to be about epic battles on Earth and in Space, warring colonies and federations, Mobile Suit units kicking ass, etc....and now it's…

But the emulation isn't perfect. If I remember correctly, they just ported a PC emulator rather than make their own, the screen is 16:9 when all games were made for 4:3, and it quite possibly runs a bit slow. Also the dock is poorly designed. I have heard many times that a hacked PSP is a better portable emulation…

Don't get me wrong. The Final Fantasy Tactics and Fire Emblem series are wonderful examples of the sub-genre. It's just that Disgaea games are so much deeper and more complex. They're built for hardcore fans of the tactical RPG, who want nothing more than to play the same game over and over again until they either max…

Fuck you, racist war-mongering sociopath.

Was I the only one who saw that he was dead and just said "good"? The man was out of his mind and his particular strain of insanity has lead a lot of good people to believe that all Muslims want us dead. The games based on his worldview were filled with a view that the military can do no wrong that has poisoned the…

It's more the idea that there's some sort of unified Islam world order that is out to kill us that is troubling than the idea that Saddam Hussein dying could unleash extremists (which it did).

The whole point is that the thought of a united Islamic world against the United States is absurd within itself. Yes, you have some terrorist groups who use Islam as a recruitment tool for political purposes, but that's about it.

Double Dragon 2...

...meanwhile, in the U.S., we'll just slap makeup on 'em as well as the dress, then put them into pageants or have them dance to "appropriate" music for fame and fortune. :V

Well I suppose that's a pretty convenient rationalization for a skimpily clothed loli girl tattoo.

Japan keeps rolling out that excuse that it's okay and totally not creepy to draw stripperiffic twelve-year-old girls by saying "oh, but they're really thousands of years old on the INSIDE." What the fuck?

Ah, a tattoo of a skimpily dressed, clearly pre-teen girl. That'll go over well with the police.
