...why not? :) Less glibly, I think it came down to the voice acting -- the Viz-produced English-language version just sounds... off. You know the old saying about actors "phoning in their lines" to describe a lackluster performance? Imagine that being literal as well as metaphorical, and...

Well, I still prefer DiC's version of Sailor Moon to Viz's, for the most part. Although some of the name changes were minor annoyances.... (I didn't have an issue with gender-flipped Zoisite, the revised character model resembled then-contemporary Star Wars EU character Natasi Daala. But did...

Parasyte: the Maxim was good when they had it, but it's been rotated out. I have been watching Old Enough!/My First Errand. It's not a reality show concept that would work in North America....

Given that the Star Trek universe has survived an event that should not be possible even by its own fast-and-loose interpretation of Berman-era Jet Propulsion Lab notes (to wit, a supernova's blast effects both travelling at multiwarp speeds and gaining energy as it expands), I don't think so...

When I hear "game face", I tend to think of Julie Benz.... Although the show that gave us that slang was... well, far enough back to have a rebooted comic. I wonder if SMG is still rocking the pager. (This time cake eats YOU!!) 😨

Me: "It's still more wholesome than Kiss Players!" TMM: "That... isn't a high bar." Me: "Yes, that's true...."

It's important to wash after handling any food items (and ideally, don't handle said food items directly). They don't readily distinguish between food and caregiver if the latter smells like the former.

And now someone needs to go and replace all of them with the left-hand item.... 😉

I appreciate that the Cinematic Universe team went a different way. Look, I'm not going to jump on the we're bored-with-Marvel train, and I know I've got a bit of a fixed idea (see above), but someone needs to drive up to a certain weeby game-modder with a dump truck of money and negotiate some...

Everyone's got an opinion. I rewatched some old 80s He-Man episodes not so long ago, and well, the score still holds up. And Hal Sutherland's infamous colour-blindness helped to sell the look of Eternia as a different world through all those background mattes. (I handwaved one notorious part of...

Speaking of which, a new image was released to commemorate DDLC Plus selling 1 million copies. Looks like Monika finally got a casual outfit to go with the others....

The short answer is "no" ( although an outfit called MunazzGame has used the character designs in their own unrelated works. I suspect, as with a lot of quickly-made-for-Android apps, that such was not done with Team Salvato's knowledge, let alone permission). The base game (without Side...

I have lost no small amount of sleep pondering that very question....

You're going to get a lot of anecdata, for two reasons: 1) Every respondent is going to be giving their own perspective, and 2) The online Transformers fandom is a lot more fragmented post-2020 than it was circa 2000. (Which is a good thing, in one respect -- no consensus means no widespread...

"...O kawaii koto."

Well, looks like Good Smile is going all-in for the Literature Club.... They just announced a static figure for their Pop-Up Parade Line. From the linked review:

Film critics definitely seemed to like the arcade fight game based on the movie adaptation of Street Fighter more than arcade game players did.... "You mean to tell me that for mere quarters I can beat the crap out of Jean-Claude Van Damme? I love this game!!"

Simon Furman: "That depends. Am I getting paid for this?"

I don't think I've ever seen her with her hair down before. Didn't Ming-Na Wen portray the character in live-action? (As an aside, I had long wanted that actress to get a role in the Star Wars saga -- and while I view Disney as long overdue for a trust-busting, they did give my late-1990s self...

Capping February's Focus on Filk, we have Dolvondo's "Insanity", a duet of sorts between Although there is a live action version, I used the CG so we can see as well as hear the second half. Let's get into it.
