Yeah, I knew about how some characters couldn't make it for various reasons. Like how Phoenix Wright couldn't get the the game because the potential hitbox collision of "Objection!"
Oh yeah, they were all "well, the hitbox would be different due to the difference in size of the objection text in Japanese compared to English", but then UMvC3 happened & that excuse can't work now.

.......also, it's been over 3 months since MvC Infinite was announced, how have we not heard a single new detail about the game since then??

Also, I just realized, in the OP, Samurai Jack is listed under "Retired Shows". Shouldn't it be removed for the time being, at least until these new episodes are done?

I wish Doc Ock made it in MvC3. So close.

I guess they're gonna go the route of Injustice 2. Be radio silent for a while, then start revealing stuff up and down.
 
I wanna play it but zelda still has its hooks in me
and overwatch too.

I'm surprised I put over 80 hours in Automata.
When a game gets you addicted, it's hard to break free.

Anyone count out the dates to find the exact ending dating of shippuden ignoring marathons and such?

We don't have to worry about that because I have a strong feeling Shippuden won't make it past 2017.

Don't worry, you may or may not have zelda botw to get to... and then persona 5 next month...

Heeeelp

Pretty much how I feel. Haha.

I beat Zelda earlier this week and loved the hell out of it. I just got done with NieR's first ending and I'm planning on doing all the main endings. Persona 5 is just around the corner and I got done with Yakuza 0 last month. Still have a hell of all of other games too.

I'm glad it was Spring Break this week and I got quite a few games in. This year has been almost too good far as games go so far and it's only near the end of March.

Back from Power Rangers.
It was... better than I expected.
It's not original, it's very much the standard super hero origin movie, but it was an entertaining take on it. The Rangers were entertaining, Rita was a blast, and even Zordon had a character arc.
The Megazord formation was a total deus ex machina though. Also, "Rita eventually stopped thinking"
Don't go in expecting something like the original show. Anyone that wants that is an idiot because that would never fly in modern Hollywood.

Anyone fearing it will be like Bayformers, it's not really like that.
They actually play the theme song. Not for long though but it's more than any of the Transformers movies
 
I only watched the first few seasons of Power Rangers, before growing out of the series.

Looking at the twitch marathon, I can't tell if the series got more jank as it went on or not.

I need to hurry & finish Automata before Persona 5 comes out. I was hoping for Sayonara, Box Boy to hit today, but guess the US didn't get it, just EU.

....then there's going back to play the Gravity Rush 2 DLC, along with actually doing the first story mission in Breath of the Wild (over 30 shrines found & did one dungeon, but actually haven't made it to the first village I was told to visit).

.........then watch as there's something during tomorrow's PSN flash sale that I'll get to add to the backlog.

Thankfully, April doesn't seem so busy. I'll probably wait on Yooka-Laylee due to Persona 5, & while I'm getting Puyo Puyo Tetris, I don't know if I'll play much since I already imported the Vita version & only want the Switch version since I want the keychains & might exchange it for a PS4 version to get trophies. Might get MK8 Deluxe, but I already had it + DLC on Wii U, so I'm not really in any rush.

"Marie is shit" well fuck you people.
DON'T WORRY, MARIE WILL READ YOU 5 OF HER POEMS THAT YOU CAN'T SKIP TO EXPRESS HER FEELINGS IN A VERY "ARTIST" WAY.

Aside from that "quirk", she's fine.

It's like a roller coaster
It got better, then a bit worse, then really fucking good, then decent, then really fucking good again, then decent, then bad, then a season that shouldn't have happened but did, then really bad, then FUCKING AWFUL, then a brief return to form, and now it's mediocre.

I've seen most of pr which season is the shouldn't have happened but did rpm? Its the only one that makes sense but am I that far behind cause it seems like too many nickelodeon seasons.

Yeah I mean RPM. Disney wanted it to end with Jungle Fury but a European contract forced one more season, so they said "Go nuts" and lead to a season that's very different from the others.

Samurai was "really bad", Megaforce was "FUCKING AWFUL", Dino Charge was "brief return to form" and Dino Super Charge & Ninja Steel are "mediocre"

Are dino charge and dino super charge actually different series? Is it like og mmpr where they kept the costumes but updated the zords to the next sentai season?

Same series. Just considered different "seasons." Like Samurai (Super Samurai), Megaforce (Super Megaforce), and Dino Charge (Super Dino Charge).

See since show went to Nickelodeon, they forced them into 20 episode seasons. Which now means they're split over two years of 40 episodes. It's stupid and I don't see why didn't jump ship after learning that deal.
You had Samurai, and then Super Samurai continued it.
You had Megaforce, and then the stupid idea to change Sentai with Super Megaforce and try to cram 100 episodes into 40.

You had Dino Charge, and then Dino Super Charge continued it. I consider them separate because they feel way too different. I think it's because all the writers from the first half jumped ship and we got a new set that made things way more childish. These same writers are on Ninja Steel and that's been complete mediocrity after 8 episodes

I only know about Marie from the anime, but she was fine I guess. I don't really have strong opinions about her one way or the other. She was just kinda there.

She kinda reminds me of Mari (they even got similar names) from the Evangelion films. She's just kinda there for the sake of having something different compared to the original series, and to sell more figures, but doesn't really add much to the story.

I didn't have a distinction between anime and cartoons as a kid, and it's still sometimes mentally difficult to think of shows like Pokemon, Speed Racer, or Cardcaptors Sakura as being "anime" instead of "cartoons". Especially Pokemon.

...that said, I barely remember Speed Racer, lol. I think I remember the Dexter's Laboratory version better.

Nier Automata just keeps surprising me.
I think this is a strong contender for Game of the Year.

so guys i've been watching this mother's basement guy on youtube and i gotta say...tank!! is probably the most effortlessly cool op ever.

Power Rangers is a good movie, everyone should go see it.
It's crazy that my only real complaint about a POWER RANGERS movie is that the action scenes are just kind of eh?
 
I'm either going to see Power Rangers with friends or family that will buy my ticket or on Tuesday for half price.

Early reviews and trailers have convinced me that it's just not worth a full movie ticket price.

It's the only game I can think about, and I beat it like 2 weeks ago.

For real. This game has the best secret final boss fight that I've seen in recent video gaming memory.

Ya know, thinking back, aside from Thundercats (which I can't remember, maybe I just watched it until Toonami took it off the rerun part of the block), Unicorn is the only show on the block that I've ever dropped during the almost 5 years since its revival. & that's saying a lot.

I sat through Akame ga Kill.
I watched every episode of Samurai 7.
I saw all 12 episodes of Dimension W.
I made it to the end of Tenchi Muyo GXP.
I dealt with both seasons of Sword Art Online.
I tolerated Blue Exorcist.
I convinced myself to stay with IBO.
I only dealt with the entirety of Inuyasha: Final Act because of you guys (& just to say "I saw the final Inuyasha episodes" & to have closure)
I was patient with Michiko & Hatchin.
I forced myself through the damn Cell arc & I never want to see it again.
I'm somehow going to deal with this "Buu Arc" everyone talks about & I'm probably going to somehow hate it even more than Cell.
lol i skip shippuden

But Unicorn is finally the show where I simply cannot bring myself to continue watching it. There is absolutely nothing of value that makes me want to return to it, which is kind of astounding considering the other shows we've had on the block.

here's why Unicorn is bad: regardless of what you thought about them, try to imagine the characters in IBO, and visualize what their overall personality was like. try remembering what their names were, too.

now try doing the same for Unicorn.

Exactly, it's the most "nothing" show I've seen in quite some time. Hell, I was just thinking to myself "wtf even happened last week" & all I can remember is more bahnagher in the desert, & that's it. There's times where I'll finish watching it & I still can't remember everything that happened.

I don't even remember most of the names of everyone. Full Frontal, Bahnagher.....and that's it.

was Dimension W as boring? it kinda seems like you guys forgot everything about that show except that it happened.

The first half was boring/fine (well, the first 3 episodes were tolerable), then when we got to Easter Island, it just got completely stupid & deserved to win worst show of 2016.

It's one of those shows you forget existed, but then when you remember it, it just annoys you the more you remember what happened.

I have no idea what Dimension W is even about, other than alternate dimensions...maybe??

I also assume that the "W" there is supposed to mean "double" like Kamen Rider W
