Definitely agree with Yokai Watch not having the heart of it. From the get-go I never quite understood how it blew up so big in the first place. A lot of it seemed like just flash and gimmicks. After getting to know enough about young childrens’ toys, I kinda picked up on what had lasting power, and what were clearly…

Well, I mean my point was really that no one wanted Palutena as a character to Amiibo-ize, hence the very severe discount and availability. Due to my assumption that Palutena wasn’t very popular to ‘train’ for Smash, I am baffled about why bootleggers would even bother manufacturing her card. Wasn’t meaning to compare…

People actually want Palutena Amiibo cards? I got the figure Amiibo for less than $2 back when Toys R Us was closing shop. They couldn’t get rid of her fast enough. Did Ultimate change the demand?

You just described Starcom, a rather esoteric 80's toy line:

Can’t remember exactly what flavor. Might’ve been strawberry chocolate? It was well over a decade ago and she sent more later on, so I could easily be confusing them.

Movie idea: Autobot Smokescreen enlists the help of Lou Bega to stop evildoers on a distant space colony through high-speed chases set to upbeat Latino music.

I had a Japanese pen pal a long time ago and she sent me Kit Kat on a gift exchange. I originally thought “wait we have these here, why did she send these?”, but now I realize it actually meant a little something more.

Your are defending a point I didn’t make. You have dragged in non-relevant parties into my statement. YOUR analogy does not apply.

Unreasonably so.

How in hell did they screw that up. Sakura wears straight up Converse high tops with a fold over. I don’t think she’d ever live it down if she was seen in Reeboks.

I feel like you could take a bunch of these and just make a new Persona game out of it. I mean, seriously, Pringles Joker/Ren; this stuff would write itself!

To each their own I supposed. What little of the dialogue I was reading/listening to was kinda high on my ‘trope-meter’, but I don’t doubt that the story itself is probably good.

Sorry, I kinda had to jam some words together to get the idea across. Also doesn’t help that I write in a hurry. Let’s just say it’s such an amateur move that there’s no real industry word for it; at least not in the circles I know. It would just be “shit animation” or “fix your path easing”.

My bad for the overly technical rant. CrowdSceneExtra nailed the explanation though.

I’ve never heard of this anime until now, and upon viewing about 5 minutes of this very episode, the gaze-line issues is near the BOTTOM of the list of problems this show has.

I don’t like the fact that these are temporary pieces. The amount of work and craftsmanship going into these, it’s a shame that not nearly enough people that WANT to see them, will get to see them in person, ex: myself personally.

I feel like ramen would probably be the wrong kind of soup and noodles to throw chocolate into. Chocolate + naruto seems like a really OFF taste just thinking about it.

Best move? Own it. Roll with it. She should sponsor a popular brand of portable grill, kick in endorsements, the whole shebang, a la George Foreman. Call it “Ariana Grillde” or something just as silly. Watch it sell like hotcakes.

That’s not really a valid comparison. This lists CyberConnect2 as the developer, while FighterZ was done by Arc System Works. Two different development teams, two different priorities; Arc System Works had a good amount of time to focus on visuals as it was front and center of the game.

The hell with the white washing, good limey that animation was offensive. 60fps tweens mixed with 15fps hand drawn. It’s like those horrendous ‘living’ advertisements for garbage clicker games.
