Someone did a Bayonetta costume for DC Universe Online and she fly's like Superman! =D

And Bayonetta was in two Watch Mojo videos today. =D

Sorry I just love Bayonetta publicity =D.

Bayonetta 3 when?

 

[Coricus]

Is One Punch Man worth the hype? Or is it just overrated?

That's honestly more of a subjective thing.

I'll take a third option and say it's both worth the hype AND overrated.

I.E. it gets talked up a bit much the same as any beloved show does, but it's entertaining enough that you should give it a shot anyway and see how you like it for yourself.

Other than that, mostly just don't watch it if you have a weak stomach or are in the process of eating, because when they say he kills everything in one punch, they MEAN it.

Saitama OP. He made it worse than it should be imo. Not a few of his battles I actually found to be funny.

I'll never understand why people call OPM overrated, every bit of praise it gets is well deserved imo
And speaking of OPM, Mob Psycho 100(which is made by ONE too) is also getting an anime adaptation this season

If you're looking for more hacks to try, might I suggest Fire Emblem Forever? It's an (unfinished) remake of the second half of FE4 with some FE5 stuff mixed in. It's pretty old and vanilla compared to some of the newer FE hacks, but I've found myself playing it more than any other hack I've tried.

It's only ~15 or so chapters IIRC so it's a pretty small investment, and definitely worth a try.

I like original hacks better, I like seeing what people can come up with, from chaeacters and story to whatever crazy stuff they can pull in the gameplay
I'm 2 chapters away from finishing the SoA demo and will probably give Bloodlines a try after that(though I may just wait a little as I hear another patch is going to be released soon)
Though if you have played some original hacks, I'd love to hear your recommendations

Finding Dory was great, it really felt like a natural sequel rather than a rehash of the first movie.

Spoiler

Absolutely YES

Bear in mind that it's a light hearted satire not meant to be taken seriously. Watch it with some non-anime watching friends, and have a good time. It's a top tier show/manga with some of the best animation/art in the industry. Both are defo worth picking up. If you're tired of Cape**** and Marvel/DC films, OPM is just what you need, since it pokes fun at the whole genre.

FEF has quite a bit of original stuff, though. Most of the characters are from FE4/5. sure, but the massive chapters from FE4 have been split up and have new stuff added to them. There's a completely defence map after Alster is seized (which would have been the end of Chapter 7 in FE4) that is one of the most interesting maps I've played in any FE game, let alone a hack.

Most of the original hacks I've really been interested in have succumbed to development problems and ended up either unfinished or disappointing. The hack I was most looking forward to playing was Eternal Bond, which never saw a release and AFAIK has basically stopped development. Elibean Nights was interesting, but fell victim to feature creep and an overly ambitious developer. I also somewhat liked Dream of Five, but the dev team for that have been too busy/lost interest, and so it's been left unfinished for a few years. Most of the other hacks I see don't look interesting, or seem more like a tech demo than someone actually trying to just make a fun game.

Saitama OP. He made it worse than it should be imo. Not a few of his battles I actually found to be funny.

The entire POINT of OPM is that he's overpowered, and he's suffering a midlife crisis because of it. The humor in the show comes not so much from breaking expectations, but rather from the absurdity of it all. The fact he's the strongest hero there ever was, yet a low ranked scrub, the fact that he's so powerful, yet his daily life is super boring, and he's always thinking about groceries and supermarket specials. It's a show that pokes fun and ridicules the entire concept of superheroes by presenting you with one that is absurdly powerful, yet is really just a normal dude with a plain appearance and no flair or style. It's supposed to be a juxtaposition of opposite concepts.

Finding Dory was great, it really felt like a natural sequel rather than a rehash of the first movie.

I really enjoyed Finding Dory. I thought it was very heartwarming. The Octopus was my fave. Did you know it took them TWO YEARS to animate his first scene?

 

[AwesomeAussie27]

You want to know something that is overrated and not great about One-Punch Man?

Saitama VS Battles

And this is proven to be bad when there are fans that believe Saitama would wipe the floor with the DBZ cast (when that's obviously not the case). The best thing that he can do is reflect a planet busting attack with a punch when Goku in the Cell Saga onward had taken on worse (Like Buu and Beerus).

So...that means she's Wonderwoman with guns...? :o

It's okay.

Comedy and action are alright but other anime do one or the other better (and, in Gintama's case, it does both better as well including development).

But as a 13 ep anime it's pretty easy to pick up and watch.

Yes I did, as someone who has an interest in animation (moreso in 2D rather than 3D) it was very fascinating.

 

[Yomi's Biggest Fan]

Cell stated that his Solar Kamehameha can destroy solar systems (which many datebooks confirmed). Nuff said.

Saitama vs Goku match-ups are just as annoying as Naruto vs Luffy ones (Luffy is seriously nowhere near Naruto's level after all the crazy **** he did in the last arc). From creating a moon with his Chakra or tanking an attack capable of slicing a moon in half.

 

[Coricus]

Isn't that like saying wrestling is boring because it's staged?

That's kind of the joke of the series. I can understand not liking it, but I don't see it as a reason to knock the show itself when that's the entire point of it to a degree that it's literally right there on the tin.

I mean, it's worth warning anyone going in that it's literal, but it's like asking why someone likes chick flicks or horror movies or something and you don't. It's just the premise that's there, it's not a positive or a negative so much as an idea that may or may not appeal to you.

It's all apples and oranges, really.

OPM is a gag series and with it's main gimmick being Saitama finishing people off with a single punch, it's a series that doesn't take itself very seriously (if at all). Which of course becomes a problem when people try to make serious fights between Saitama and X anime/video game characters.

Saitama WOULD win though since he's written without an upper limit. Murata even said that he pretty much wrote him to put an end to dumb nerd debates. It's like when little kids argue about who can come up with the strongest imaginary power to play fight with, and they keep bickering again and again, and one just comes in and says, my power is to never lose to anyway, and just puts and end to it all. That's why the show is a satire, because it was written out of Murata's desire to poke fun at the absurdity of the shounen genre and its powerlevels, as well as superhero stories. So he wrote a character who's entire premise is to be unbeatable. And each time we see Saitama get pushed to higher limits, he's still not trying.

So no matter how ridiculous someone writes a character, Saitama would still beat them, because I doubt we'll ever see his upper limit, because the series isn't meant to be about "how strong is Saitama?" but rather, that's a nonfactor, since it's more about the situation of being absurdly powerful and suffering from a crisis of purpose. Plus, last big fight he had, he tanked an attack that iirc contained the power of the Big Bang, and pretty much shrugged it off like it was nothing, and dispelled it with a "serious punch."

To say that the DBZ cast would beat him a stretch when we've seen Goku's and the rest of their upper limits, since THAT show is about overcoming your limits. It's basically Superman vs. Goku all over again. "What happens when you pit a man who can break all his limits, vs. a man who doesn't have any to begin with?"

Are we really getting into this kind of discussion?
Really, you can never compare the power of two characters from different universes
"Power Creep, Power Seep" is an innevitable result as characters' powers are balanced around other powers from the same universe
Feats such as destroying an entire planet may be something insignificant in certain settings while in others it's used to show an "ultimate power"

To this very day, I will never see the appeal of Luffy vs Naruto.

It's best until we see Luffy reach the level of a Yonko or beyond to really see him at his best. The way he is now, I doubt he would even last against endgame Naruto. Though Versus Battles discussions are honestly pretty silly like Zoroarking said.

 

[SegaNintendoUbisoft]

Alas, poor Rayman. I knew him, Michel.

 

[Deleted member]

Death battle is wrong in half their analysis anyway.

Link vs. Cloud was bad enough, but Tifa vs. that Yellow chick from RWBY was rage inducing. Because it's evident they only made Tifa lose just so they could shill Rooster Teeth who's also with SA. Cheeky *****... >_>

 

[ChikoLad]

FTFY.

No no.

I literally mean Death Battle specifically.

People wouldn't obsess over "who would win in a fight" if a show that gets millions of views per episode on that very subject, did not exist.

Doesn't help that the research is often really bad.

 

[Deleted member]

Anime was a mistake

Pretty much what went through my head when I saw the first trailer for Tokyo Mirage Sessions. It coulda been a badass gritty strategy game with demons set in medieval times. Instead, we got idol****...

You're right. In the end, these crossover fight discussions doesn't matter. Because Bug Bunny solos with Toon Force thanks to his Impossible to Define Tier.

Maybe not, but you sure can have fun trying sometimes.

The problem occurs when people forget the "fun" part and turn it into a "my big brother can beat up your big brother" hissing match.

Or when you walk in going "heck yeah I'd like to hear how my character that can outrun a black hole and stay in one piece falling from the atmosphere can handle this other character that shoots black holes and tanks lasers to the face" and then somebody is over there amalgamating three dozen different reincarnations of somebody into a single entity that never existed and blending gameplay effects of several things that might not even exist in the same timelines in order to "prove" that a character that logically is probably among the most garbage tier in the entire character pool being analyzed is really tougher than them all.

Or people bringing up "X killed a god!" or "X IS a god!" like that says anything whatsoever or means anything remotely significant in fiction.

Or people bringing up escape clauses for an easy "I win!" like "only X can defeat Y" when that clearly says nothing about the power of a character so much as they just plain have a cheat method.

That rabbit is only hard to definite because his strength and ability to mess around with the plot is inconsistent. But that's all classic cartoons in a nutshell.

I know exactly what it's meant to be.
I just didn't find it as funny as I expected.
I give this anime a 7/10 - Good. All Genos' parts and the ending and that Mosquito Girl episode were the best parts IMHO.

Also, since it seems you love absurd humor,I strongly recommend Nichijou if you haven't seen it already. Don't judge it from being about 3 schoolgirls, other classmates/teachers, a robot who just wants to be normal, child genius and a talking cat. It's got really great animations.

Mai is by far the biggest and funniest troll I have ever seen.

I really don't want to share certain funny gifs from it because that would ruin the moment when you actually watch it.The whole point is that it's unexpected, half the time. So, this will do.

(imo it's underrated).

I've seen Nichijou posted on 4chan form time to time. It looks pretty funny. I'll give it a watch. I really enjoyed Lucky Star and Excel Saga back in the day, so I'm sure I'll like this.

To recommend some back. As far as comedy anime goes, Golden Boy is top tier if you haven't watched that. As it Cromartie High School. And a personal underrated fave of mine is Astro Fighter Sunred. If you've not watched the first two though, definitely give them a watch:

Defintely watch the dub for the first two, it's very well done.

 

[AwesomeAussie27]

Fixed.

TBH the only good thing about Cartoon Fight Club is the meme fights because his animations (or lack of professional animation there of) suits these fights easily.

But everything else, absolute rubbish. Even the one sided fights like the Dragon Ball Z and Sans related ones are bad.

Oddly, when I tried watching Nichijou I didn't find it nearly as funny as everyone says it is. Maybe I was just in the wrong mood at the time, but I honestly found it kind of boring.

Granted, upon reflection I think I started skimming OPM towards the end, but I was at least invested enough to actually want to see how it ended. Nichijou just. . .for something involving a robot girl, a child genius, and a talking cat, it felt REALLY mundane. I think I had the exact same letdown from Nichijou you had from OPM.

SGDQ is about to do Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze. And IMO, it's one of the better runs out there.

Well....not everything is for everyone XD. It's not really meant to have a good story. I don;t think anyone should binge watch Nichijou,tho. Save episodes for another day haha.

The humor here is about exaggerating every day situations and being random, basically. Like, mosquitoes at night or being stuck in a lift.
