  2. Dandadan is my most looked forward to anime this year. Science Saru is also a phenomenal choice for studio. We've still got to get through the whole spring and summer seasons, though. There are a bunch of anime returning for new seasons this spring. You've got the third season of Reincarnated as a Slime, The Irregulare at Magic High School, Sound Euphonium, and Konusuba. The second season of Tsukimichi. Another season of Demon Slayer, One Piece, My Hero Academia. Those are all mostly eh for me. I might catch an episode here and there to relive a part of the manga I really enjoyed, but that's about it. I think the biggest hit this season will probably be Kaiju No. 8, assuming it's a good adaptation. It does have some real talent working behind the scenes, so I'm hopeful it'll be good. I also think Viral Hit could be a nice sleeper. The first few arcs of that manhwa are so much fun. If the anime can translate that onto the screen, we'll be in for a good time.
  3. You might be thinking about Bulla, Vegeta's daughter, who was a baby in the DBS Broly movie. I don't remember if Goku met Bulla, but her debut was definitely there. That much I remember because until then Bulla was always older than Pan thanks to DBGT, but DBS swapped them around and made Pan the older of the two girls.
  4. No, she wasn't born yet. During that fight with Beerus they needed to perform the God ritual, but they were one Saiyan short until Videl announced that she was pregnant with Pan. Fast forward to now and Goku barely remembers any of that.
  5. Dragon Ball Super is a monthly series and this chapter came out last week with the magazine probably going to print a couple of weeks before then, so I'm going to assume this chapter was worked on a couple of months ago. Toyotarou, himself, confirmed it on Twitter. This was his original storyboard... And these are the changes Toriyama made... Toriyama was absolutely correct in his choice here. Having the chapter end with five panels of the characters' backs is off putting. Having Piccolo turn back before the camera then also turns back to end on the faces of Piccolo and Pan's teacher flows way better. Toriyama has always done a great job with framing and the flow of action from panel to panel and this is a perfect example of it.
  6. Well, fuck. Toyotarou has confirmed that the last thing Toriyama ever did for the Dragon Ball manga was suggest adding Piccolo waving goodbye in the second to last panel here. This entire sequence of Goku finally meeting Pan was already quite lovely without knowing it was Toriyama's final addition with his all time favorite Dragon Ball character.
  7. I think everything is about context. Bayonetta is a big brash, in your face campy schlock. Her over the top titillation fits the genre. I think Stellar Blade is only getting any attention because it's become some sort of crazy Gamer Gate 2.0 lightning rod for what women in games should look like. Those people are really trying to get this whole thing rolling again with their attacks on Sweet Baby and the like. I'm fairly certain this is all manufactured outage and it's no coincidence this is all happening in an election year that sees Republicans going hard on DEI efforts. I don't think you'd find many serious people complaining about sex scenes in games. I think a good example of this would be Mass Effect and The Witcher. They both came out in 2007 and nobody was complaining about Mass Effect's sex scenes. Now, there were plenty complaining about The Witcher's sex scenes that treated sleeping with every woman you can find as some sort of weird trading card game. Mass Effect wasn't problematic, but The Witcher was. I think that's a fairly easy line to draw. It's not sex or nudity that's problematic. At the same time, nobody is really targeting Subverse. It's all about context. Reality TV is trash TV and we sort of expect it to be. I think it would entirely depend on the context of the situation, but I'm also having a hard time imagining a not exploitative scenario where Aloy gets naked.
  8. The first group you're talking about isn't really going after Bayonetta because that's kind of her whole schtick. I'd say there's a big difference between a character like Bayonetta and, say, Aloy. The number of people complaining about Bayonetta is wildly dwarfed by crazy people who think Aloy isn't attractive enough in post-apocalyptic open world kill the robot dinosaur game. There's room for everything in this world, but the first group isn't the one making every comment sections toxic and sending death threats to developers. I think a lot of companies could do better. I look at Nintendo's roster of Mario characters and all I am think is "Hey, you've got three princesses. Really couldn't have hurt to give Rosalina a bit of melanin, right?" My 5yo's two favorite fictional characters is Princess Peach and Ghost Spider. However, she's dictated that any game I play that has a character creator means I need to have to play as a brown girl with curly hair, just like her...well, except she's got to have pink hair, just because. That's why my Pokemon trainer looks like this... And my PC in Starfield like this... Would be nice to get more options in games that don't have character creators. I think these toxic gamers complaining about this stuff are just naive to the fact that even the "curvy girls" and fan service is just pandering. If they think "forced" inclusivity is pandering to people that aren't them, they're completely ignorant to the fact that the stuff they're asking for has always been pandering. These scantily class women only ever existed in stuff like games, anime, and comics to pander to young boys. Why? Because it was easier for an 11yo to sneak copies of Power Girl than Playboy back in 1992. However, it's 2024, the Internet is right there, and kids don't even have to figure out the code to unlock Cinemax anymore. Kids these days don't even have to worry about their parents wondering why their VHS copy of True Lies runs kind of funny around a certain Jamie Lee Curtis scene...what?

  10. Yeah, but have you ever thought of how seeing a man cry, a woman shaped like a body builder, or even a queer person might ruin the artistic integrity of these games designed in board rooms with PowerPoint presentations based on market research and urges from capital investors and the stock market? If people really need to get the rocks off on virtual men, women, and everything in between there are more than a few of us on here that can direct them perfectly repulsive hentai. I won't kink shame.
  11. I absolutely adore Baba is You, but I'm apparently too dumb for this game because halfway through it just lost me. Once I find myself staring at a single screen of puzzle for like an hour straight, no closer to solving it, I just had to move on. I still wholly recommend everyone give the same a shot. It's one of the most unique, fun, and clever logic/puzzle games ever made. Like you said, just, maybe, a little too clever after a while.
  12. Oh, the horror of suggesting that devs should avoid negative gender stereotypes for both male and female characters if they want to reach a larger audience. Male characters with a full range of emotions? Female characters with armor that matches its function? The absolute travesty. What a dumb article title for an incredibly benign recommendation from Microsoft. I swear, gamers are some of the whinest bunch of people on the planet. I remember the collective shit gamers threw when Nintendo first started throwing optional difficulty reducing items in Mario games. Games being enjoyed by more people than just me? I'm utterly verklempt.

  18. This game is very pretty on PC and runs like a dream. Playing with a Dualsense controller is nice. It's unfortunate that full haptics only works when you're wired up, but I can deal with it.

  20. Mostly people that aren't as tech savvy. For instance, they'd prefer one Comcast app that does everything instead of multiple apps to handle wireless versus Wi-Fi versus paying their bills. Apple only allows one primary category per app plus a single secondary function. That's why T-Mobile and other carriers have a dozen apps instead of one main app that can handle every need of their customers. Unfortunately, that then carries over to Android because making two sets of the same app is already a lot of work, but two sets of entirely different apps is a bridge too far.
  21. Fine, these little guys go great with my Angus Beef Big Mac Gundam.
  22. Apple's control only becomes a problem when it controls what's available on Android. How Apple’s war on super apps became the center of its antitrust fight - The Verge WWW.THEVERGE.COM Apple put restrictions on cloud streaming, and now the DOJ is fighting back. Apple feared that giving legitimacy to cloud streaming gaming apps wouldn't hurt users, but could convince users they could get away with buying cheaper hardware which includes Android. Same goes for super apps. Apple is doing what it can to stop the development of super apps on iOS because they know it would make switching over to Android easier. When half the market is cut off, few are going to invest in making these apps for Android and Android alone.
  23. I do believe there is something to be said about toys and general use computers which, in the year 2024, absolutely includes smart phones and tablets. You aren't doing your banking on a Switch. You don't need a PS5 is be a functioning member of society, but you absolutely need a smart phone. Apple might not control the entire market, but the DOJ is claiming that they own enough of the market to push their weight around in a monopolistic manner. This is like California getting to choose emissions standards on cars that affect everyone else. Only, California is legally allowed to do that while Apple probably isn't.

  25. Looks like we're starting the spring season early. You don't normally see anime start popping up for another week or two, but we've got one videogame tie in that needs sorting out. Unfortunately, Toriyama didn't make it in time to see a wider audience enjoy his wildly under-appreciated Mad Max meets Dragon Ball short series. The first seven episodes are out on Hulu TODAY. The first 6 episodes of this new anime will recount the events as told in the 1999 manga. The seventh episode will begin a new arc Toriyama wrote specifically for this anime series. That arc will run for 7 episodes bringing the series to a total of 13 leading up to the release of the Sand Land game coming out April 26. Also coming out in April is Kaiju No.8... I've been reading the manga since the first chapter. This should do very good as anime, so here's hoping this adaptation is good. Who doesn't like stuff where folks are fighting kaiju while using kaiju parts to power their weapons and armor? Wait, is this actually another season of Black Butler? I had to look it up and sure enough, it's been a full decade since the last season... Speaking of anime that's a long time in the making, Fujiko Fujio is getting another new anime? You might not know the pair, but you've certainly at least heard or seen Doraemon at some point. It's been some 35 years since the last Time Patrol Bon anime. Now we've got a new season hitting Netflix in May... I am all for more Korean manhwa getting the anime treatment... Nerdy twig of a kid takes on all the bullies in town to rack up YouTube views. The first season of the manhwa was a ton of fun, so here's hoping this anime is too. For a moment, I thought we'd be seeing more manhwa getting animated, but nope, we've just got a manga sharing the same name of a wildly popular manhwa series that's still running. Let's blame an editor over at Kodansha for not Googling the name of their new manga. Either way, if you want more delinquents beating the shit out of each other, Wind Breaker will do that for you. What's the opposite of high school delinquents punching each other in the face? Some cute girls trying to form an anonymous musical group? Sure. If anything, Jellyfish Can't Swim at Night certainly has some pretty animation... Speaking of music, there's also Hi Dive's Whisper Me a Love Song. This one is more romance/drama, though... We've got to even out the world. Whisper Me a Love Song may be a rare lesbian romance anime, but you know what's even more rare? A gay romance anime, and we've got one coming up with Welcome Home...whose title Crunchyroll decided not to translate... Thinking about it, we aren't getting too many shoujo romance anime these days. We do have A Condition Call Love coming out next month... Let's not be ageist. Old people can love too in Grandpa and Grandma Turned Young Again streaming...who knows where... Am I missing any demographics? I guess elves deserve love in An Archdemon's Dilemma: How to Love Your Elf Bride... Fuck it, vampires are also allowed to love in Vampire Dormitory... Lot of romance and isekai anime this coming season. I'd link to all the isekai, but they've all got titles like... As a Reincarnated Aristocrat, I'll Use My Appraisal Skill to Rise in the World... Chillin' in Another World with Level 2 Super Cheat Powers... I Was Reincarnated as the 7th Prince So I Can Take My Time Perfecting My Magical Ability... There should be something for everyone. Oh! CLAMP has done some work for a new anime on Netflix? I have a hard time turning down new stuff from them, so I am definitely checking this one out...
