My wife and I have been getting the pokemon games together for a while now and we trade off on who gets first pick for the version. She picked Heart Gold, I picked White, we skipped B/W2, she picked X, then I picked Omega Ruby. It would have been her turn next, but we picked up Yokai Watch 2 earlier so we decided it…

As a graphic designer, I love how almost everything advertising both the NES mini and Famicom mini recreate the older “retro” designs. Even the boxes are designed to look like the old ones.

Yes and no. You’re primarily thinking of Tsubasa Chronicles. In Tusbasa you saw alternate universe versions of Sakura and Syaoran travel to other alternative universes for various CLAMP properties. But that series was tied fairly closely to xxxHolic and crossed over frequently.

Screw it! I’ll just do this with no pants! We got a world to save!

*sigh* Going to have to be “that guy” but that’s mokona from xxxHolic/Tsubasa Chronicles. Same name, similar apperance, different entity entirely.
That said, you get a star for bringing up Rayearth!

Mokona is more a god than a pet

Get rid of him..and slow down the heat death of the universe at the same time? Sure! Lets does this! Do I need to supply my own tutu or does that come with the contract?

I find the lack of PenPen on this list disturbing.

Egon!

So that’s the name of the special. I remember that one vividly, but it always mixed into my memories of Snoopy Come Home because of the girl in the hospital.

I swear there was a little delay on the video where it says “Fire Dark” just to mess with everyone who thought it would be Fire Fighting.

You know something has gone wrong when even Fox News isn’t siding with the Republican party...

I know right!? I kept glancing at the “Fox News” logo in the corner going “This...this is Fox right? The same Fox that seems to think all Democrats are tools of Satan or something right?”

Yes, but at the time, Nintendo called it a “third pillar” Their words exactly.

Thank you for saying this! I was starting to think I was the only one who remembered that...

I remember when I was in college, one of my art teachers explained that “all art is a lie, but when you use references it becomes less of a lie”. Stating that it is all well and good to pull things straight from your mind, but don’t be afraid to pull from real life too.

I could easily see Jibanyan just laying on the counter next to the heat lamps and grabbing everyone’s food as it came out.

That’s kinda just how they look. Komasan and Komajiro come from the country and spend a lot of their time getting used to living in the city.

“Oh my swirls....”

Consideringthe anime  Gate felt like it was part “military porn/recruitmemt” on par with Final Countdown or the 2007 Tranformers movie, I’m not surprised.
