There are a lot of great DC games but in particular that you should definitely not live without is Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo!

YIKES!! Another 10 years? Geez. Anyway the thing is... 1)I don't have the hard drive space to download the eps 2)The TV out from my nVidia GeForce2 MX card absolutely REEKS! And no way do I wanna watch this on a tiny 21" monitor. 3)I would much rather buy them on dvd from anyone, as long as they're as good as those AonE and AnBu guys or whatever. 65" RPTV>>>>21" PC monitor. Link please!

Naruto is getting hyped EVERYWHERE I go! Even on beastiality forums(OK that's a joke)! They are calling this show the second coming of anime!!! So basically what is the deal? Is either Bandai, ADV, Media Blasters or...gasp....Funimation gonna jump all over this show or what? Has there been any announcements or even rumors of Naruto localization? I wanna see this show badly! But without resorting to *sigh*, Kazaa or BT. Questions.... I am a huge...huge...HUGE Dragon Ball Z fan! 1)Is this show actually better than DBZ or perhaps....gasp...*better* than even Berserk? 2)How good are the fansubbed eps online, video quality wise and english subbed wise? 3)I hate downloading even though I'm on a DSL connection. My hard drive space is just limited right now. Just would rather buy a few dvds. Is MI, FX or anyone else booting these? Link?

Just bring out a Samurai Shodown compilation disc for XBL so I can die a happy man.

That looks fantastic. Now can we PLEASE get some news on a new Ridge Racer???

SHOCKING L.A. Times article about animators in Japan. Even talented 10-year veterans often only make the equivalent of $20,000 a year? I am absolutely SHOCKED!!!! This is an outrage! To think that my favorite anime artists like Shoji Kawamori and Kizuki Akane are only making 20 grand a year absolutely disgusts me! What are we going to do? L.A. Times

Seems everywhere I go people are dissapointed with this game. Check out this guy's angry review.... Wow talk about really hating a title

This is just my personal thought, but why should a game with multiplayer online be considered so hot? Project Gotham Racing 2 was the same way... a lot of magazines even gave it higher review scores than Need for Speed Underground, because they loved the frickin' online mode, nevermind the sloppy engine PGR2 uses, or the fact that NFSU was a lot prettier. As far as I'm concered, a game could have the most brilliant online multiplayer mode ever, but if it sucks in the single player area, it just sucks. Gotta agree with you on pgr2. I played it for a while but got so frustrated with the damn game I ended up doing this to it.

Supposedly SC2: Pandora Tomorrow gonna be the hottest title on Xbox until Halo 2 comes along. I haven't bought a Live game in about a year and was wondering if this title would be worth it. I've never played Third/First person shooter before, let alone online. But this looks like one kick ass game! The multiplayer is said to be butter! Wonder how well Socom 2's gonna hold up to this...

I haven't posted regularly here in ages. It's more sporatic now than ever. Just not enough time right now. I first signed up on the old board damn, at least three years ago if not more. What ever happened to Lebhead? That dude had like 10 trillion posts on the old board! What about that one guy I forgot his name that always had those long ass posts that hardly made sense and all of his paragraphs started with "As for..."

They broke the molds??? Harmony Gold bought up Yamato?!?!? Yamato is making hentai Valks?

Hey Abombz did you get my PM?

I bought the original R2 at a dealer's room back in 1999 for $100. Four autographs later, it is my most prized item in my entire home! And HOT DAMN does it ever look gorgeous on my 65" Widescreen RPTV!

F-Zero GX + Gamecube + 16x9 480p = BLISS! Gamecube + component = wow!

Sad isn't it? Maybe you can go work for them and replace the other Keith to help turn things around

Anyone get that box set from Mangle?

I don't think they spent more that $100,000

Any word on a domestic release?

I want a Chrono Trigger MMRPG sequel with the same 2D graphics and Yasunori Mitsuda

Remastered Eva in the US???

Just read this article from CNBC on anime... +++++++++++++++++++++ Anime instinct paying off for visionary firm By Jenna Colley Houston Business Journal Jan. 12 — The Japanese art form of anime is making waves around the world, and a Houston company is riding the crest A.D. Vision Inc. has gained a reputation as cartoon central for the growing legion of global fans who can't get enough of these highly stylized epic stories featuring gun-wielding schoolgirls, headstrong martial arts experts and a slew of complex and often darker characters than those found in the average American comic book fare. With the launch of a 24-hour cable channel devoted to the Japanese animation pop-culture phenomenon and a live-action anime film in the pipeline, A.D. Vision is poised to further capitalize on what some entertainment industry observers are touting as a $4 billion industry. In the past three years, the local company has experienced a 400 percent increase in growth, with six studios in Houston, two in Austin and offices in London and Tokyo. For 2003, A.D. Vision will show revenue of between $70 million and $150 million, says Kevin Corcoran, chief operating officer. In addition to 187 employees in the United States, A.D. Vision provides a livelihood for 200 to 250 actresses, actors, directors and private contractors who work on the company's ongoing projects. Animated avenues Japanese anime covers various mediums, from animated films and graphic novels to cartoon series and product spinoffs -- all avenues A.D. Vision is either currently invested in or is planning to pursue in the near future. The company was founded 12 years ago when co-founder John Ledford, now president and CEO, began importing anime from Japan to capitalize on what he saw as a highly underserved market with a high demand for animated stories to accompany popular video games. Ledford purchased the licensing rights to a film version of a best-selling video game sold by his young import and export firm. "It made all its money back in 90 days," says Ledford from the company's new office digs at the corner of Highway 59 and Beltway 8. "So I bought another title and it paid for itself in 60 days. I bought a third title and it paid for itself two months before it was even released in pre-orders." Until recently, A.D. Vision continued to focus primarily on anime home video distribution. Last year, the company launched NewType USA, now the best-selling monthly anime magazine in America with a monthly circulation of about 100,000. The publication, modeled after a Japanese version, sells for about $10 an issue and is put out by a full staff of editors and designers from the A.D. Vision offices in Houston. In May of 2003, the company started ADV Manga to market graphic novels (manga in Japanese). The books boast titles like "Those Who Hunt Elves" and the more popular "Full Metal Panic" about a high school girl being tracked by terrorists who believe she possesses special powers. Those novels are also priced at about $10 a pop. The company's main priority now centers on launching a 24-hour version of the Anime Network, which was first made available to video on-demand customers. In December, local viewers could order the channel through Time Warner Cable. The company is in discussions with several cable companies to make a linear launch either in the first or second quarter of 2004 according to Corcoran. "We're told it's just a matter of time," he says. Rasenberger Media President Cathy Rasenberger was hired by A.D. Vision to convince networks that a full-time anime channel will sell. "ADV is dedicated to expanding and growing the genre across multiple platforms," says Rasenberger. Robotic film for jaded fans In May, ADV Films acquired the rights to produce a live-action feature version of the hugely popular anime TV series "Neon Genesis Evangelion," the tale of a reluctant young man who must pilot a gigantic robotic weapon against an alien invasion. Working on the pre-production with ADV Films is New Zealand-based Weta Workshop Ltd., the special-effects studio behind the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy. The venture doesn't mark the first time that a film featuring human actors will adapt an anime movie, but it does prove to be an aggressive move for the company says Fred Patten, an anime enthusiast and journalist known throughout the industry as an expert on the topic. Patten says major movie studios have announced and then back-tracked on several live-action productions, and that has left hard-core anime fans skeptical. "The fans at this point are a little jaded," says Patten. But he is encouraged by the fact that a smaller company like A.D. Vision, which has been licensing anime already produced in Japan for release, is talking about doing its own production. "That's impressive," says Patten.
