Now and Then, Here and There was one of the worst excuses for a show I've ever seen. It's just Neo with magic Plot Weapon vs Agent Smith with magic Plot Armor, but everyone else is fucking miserable until God decides on a whim to fix shit. Anyone who hails this as great while also categorically condemning other shows should be ashamed of themselves.

Goddamn, that's vicious. Between this and the series' major supporter being a Tekken player, I'm a bit wary now.
Give me your top 10, then.

fuckin' called it, man
The 80's
You high mayne?
Now and Then, Here and There was so great that Deadman Wonderland staff decided to steal the whole concept and create another light-hearted version of the story.
Don't give me that. Just watch it.
If you go into a show with negative expectations, then you're gonna have negative reactions. Go in neutral and tell me your reactions.

Rehashing shit, corporatism, focus groups, a lack of vitality in creation.

So ... anime games?
But that's for video games.
Slice of life. Those are trademarks of the 80s though

Oh yeah, REDLINE came out recently, and it was the first anime since Gurren Lagann that I finished and watched again immediately.
That's an anime?
A Pretty Panda

Yeah that's the one I watched. I never saw the second series thing.
Was it as full of absurd contrivance?
Did he do anything in the 90's other than Perfect Blue? (Not saying that's not enough, because holy shit, but..)

Lol only watchable thing on right now. In my opinion.
The problem with slice of life anime for me is that they are too dependent on excellent writing for them to be entertaining or veer into ground breaking territory. An anime can have excellent writing but it almost invariably gets lost in translation. They are harder to judge and even harder to rank. It's also difficult to find a good one amidst the mediocrity. I don't even watch an anime until at least the premise seems interesting.

He directed an episode of the old Jojo's Bizarre Adventure OVA.

Bookmarked. Thank you.
What would the problem be?
Not just video games. Movie rehashes:
Transformers (2007)
Planet of the Apes (2001)
The Stepford Wives (2004)
A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010)
Halloween (2007)
Rollerball (2002)
Bewitched (2005)
Herbie (2005)
Friday the 13th (2009)
Godzilla (1998 - close enough)
The Pink Panther (2006)
The Day the Earth Stood Still (2006)
Psycho (1998)
Clash of the Titans (2010)
The Grudge (2004)
The Omen (2006 - did not even know this existed until now)
Bleed it over to the next decade and you get gems like Total Recall and Judge Dredd.
JUST LOOK AT ALL THOSE SHITTY REHASHES!
We talk about fighting games, or things directly related to fighting games, 75% of the time here.

Smash Bros has analog sensitive inputs.
Mind you, I included Garzey's Wing because, from what I remember, it made me laugh harder than any comedy anime. If you want something more legitimate swap it out with Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu.
The Straw Hats ain't people you wanna fuck with!
Also, I heard fullmetal alchemist brotherhood is amazing, can anyone confirm?

Oh right!
I didn't bother. Regardless, you see my point.
FMP is standard enough that I know about it. I appreciate your list because it's obscure to me. I'll give Sayah's series a few episodes to see how it goes as well.

I realized a few days ago that Smash is basically a four-button fighter but has Heavy attacks mapped to smashing the stick. So Normal/Heavy/Special/Block.
Because it looks significantly better than shitty Brawl and as a huge fan of Melee I could see Smash U becoming a respectable fighting game again.
Yes, I think Melee deserves to be in this category.
Word. Fuck that guy who made Black Swan and basically ripped him off.

But you can't have smash attack button. There are no neutral smashes
Based on the garbage shows you have seen.. I would say yes.The Straw Hats ain't people you wanna fuck with!
Also, I heard fullmetal alchemist brotherhood is amazing, can anyone confirm?
You buggin bruhbruh, I can see hate for naruto but one piece? And you think DBZ is garbage?FUCK OUTTA HERE VERGIL IS #1, ZERO AIN'T GOT SHIT ON DEM SWORDS.

Today is one of those days. Honestly, the anime talk has never been as strong as it has been today. It definitely has something to do with the lack of talking points. There is no drama, no big news for popular fighters and we're still a ways off from CEO. We might get a couple more days like this from here to CEO, but it'll mostly be fighting talk, trust me.
Melee is one of my top three fighters and games of all time, but that won't get me hyped for Smash U. Brawl was definitely the biggest gaming disappointment I've had since I picked up a controller. I'd say RE6 was worse, but I don't even consider it an RE game.
I'll get hyped if the game is nearly as fast as melee. Tripping is already out which is HUGE news.
Was good until the lazy conclusion.
You're the first person I've come across that hates it.
It's an anime that deals with a lot of contemporary societal problems on a grand scale
child soldiers, corrupt leadership, rape, etc.
This anime offers what a lot of anime don't.

Ah shit I meant 6. I tell you right now that the first games I'd play if I went to the future are Mirror's Edge 2, MvC4, Skullgirls 2, Smash U and Mario Kart 8. I'd say F-Zero, but the current Nintendo will never make one.
