You don't need to. I played Suikoden 2 first and fell in love with it. The only danger is that you will have this burning need to hunt down a copy of the first Suikoden. As mentioned, you won't miss anything, you will just have a deeper appreciation. One of the things the fans really liked is that some of the…

Pokemon plus Chronotrigger, my army versus villain's army, lets go.

I remember X-play pronounced it as SAI-koden. Pissed me off to no end.

Well, Free! is actually based off a light novel so there is already existing material behind it. Little Witch Academia is really just a one-shot. In addition, there is no pressure for the swimming anime to be an exceptionally good show. People watch it for the eye candy. For Academia, there is a HUGE pressure to make…

I would actually be disappointed if it was not AT LEAST shonen-ai (nothing explicit, just lots of homoeroticism). They know what the target audience is, they know why they are watching it. Give the public what they want is what I say.

I wish Kotaku would feature Extracreditz more.

The humor is not over the top. The humor is not generated by the everyday hijinks of the cast who are trying to adjust to our world, they adjust just fine. The humor is on the sheer absurdity of the situation. These were characters that lead armies into battle and conquest. Now, their primary concern is making the…

You should check out Exit Fate while you wait. It has the art style and gameplay of Suikoden II

They would have to pay Michael Shannon likeness fees. It is the same reason why the Giselle Disney doll never got mass produced, because Disney realized that they would have to pay Amy Adams royalties because they are using her likeness.

Hand-drawn is too expensive to produce. Also, animators have a bit more freedom with CG, like camera angles. If you take a look at the new Ninja turtles cartoon, they move a lot more fluidly now and some of their fight sequences are impressively choreographed. The most that you can get with the traditional hand drawn…

Yeah, I think your right. This game reminds me of the babe...

Oh them's fighting words mate. No one messes with the Onion Knight!

The Grandmaster was made like an art movie, so I understand why some people would find it dragging. There have been very few successful attempts at making a wuxia movie into an art film. However, there are a few very interesting notes that you might miss if you aren't looking carefully. Like how Zhang Ziyi's character…

Not visuals, art direction and tone. People were really charmed with Overstrike's trailer, over the top, ridiculous action, a team of borderline psychotics causing massive collateral damage. That is cliche I know, but it made it stand out and got people excited to what kind of comedic, shenanigans the team will get…

Yeah, I kinda liked it more when it was Overstrike. I read that the change in art direction was brought about by making the guns more interesting, but it also kinda made it look generic.

I have many, but the one that was hardest to say goodbye to...

Who said STEAK?!

If there is such a game mode, I think it will be the only game mode anyone plays. We will have tournament level dog fights.

The Devil is a Part timer is a definite recommend. In truth, the concept is pretty common. A creature from a fantastical world lives a mundane life in this world. However, the anime has a different take on the idea. They don't focus on the hi-jinks of getting adjusted to a new world, the Demon Lord adjusts to the…
